Weight loss can be hard, we know that. Everyone will claim to have the answer so it's easy to get confused as to what is the best approach. Which is why we have put together some of our favourite simple and practical tips to help you fight the flab.
Eat little and often. This helps to keep your blood sugar levels stable which means you are less likely to get hunger pangs between meals.
Fill up on fibrous veggies. Vegetables are low in calories, which means you can enjoy a big plate full and the fibre will help to keep you feeling full.
Drink plenty of liquids. Ideally water but tea, coffee and sugar free drinks all count. Very often we confuse hunger for thirst, so drink up before you head for the snack draw.
Include a protein source at every meal or snack. Protein helps to keep you feeling fuller for longer which helps to keep the munchies at bay.
Park in the furthest spot from the shops. Sounds stupid, but just increasing your daily activity levels can burn those extra few calories which put's you into a deficient and leads to weight loss.
Go to bed early. This one is especially important for those who get late night cravings. The theory is simple here – you can't eat if you are asleep!
Brush your teeth after each meal. This is a great tip for those who get cravings for something sweet after a meal. It may not sound like it would work, but just give it a try – trust us!
Don't skip meals. You've heard it before but we will tell you again. Skipping meals might seem like a good way to save calories, but you WILL eventually give in, get far too hungry and over eat.
Eat all your meals with a knife and fork. Yes honesty. Most people don't get overweight from the main meals they eat during the day. More often than not it's the additional 'finger food' from snack foods which are usually eaten with your hands.
Use a smaller plate. Again – this might sound like a strange thing to do, but piling your food higher on a smaller plate fools your brain into thinking you are eating a bigger portion than you actually are.
Chew slowly. Lots of people who are overweight eat very fast. Try to slow down, enjoy eat mouthful and put down your cutlery between bites. You'll be surprised how more full you feel at the end of your meal.
Stick to real food not diet snack products. You'll get a whole lot more 'bang for your buck' when it comes to calories from whole foods than you will calories from weight loss snacks.
Increase your muscle mass (lift weights) – muscle is metabolically active which means it requires calories to exist. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body requires at rest.
So there you have it! Simple right? If you choose to use 1, 2 or all of these tips we hope they will help towards your weight loss goals.


Alejandro Cossavella, an Argentinian artist, is one of more surprising musicians in the world of Esperanto. He first appeared with Ŝako (Chess) with his band La Porkoj (The Pigs), (VKKD23), a group he sang in since 1988.
This punk-rock jewel was released in Collection 2000, and became a milestone of postpunk music in Esperanto.
In 2004, he reappeared on CD with a new group, Strika Tango (Tango on Strike). In fact, tango is not at all present in this album where Ale plays reggaes, psychedelic balads, and bossa nova, and his lyrics explode, talking about his life in the Esperanto movement.
Before traveling to Finland to take part in the festival KEF 2005, he recorded some new songs.
In 2007 he presented some translations of famous tangos and international artists (they do not appear in this new album because it only has the artist's original compositions).
From September 2008 to mid-January 2009, he toured in Europe with his guitar and his record Hej, where latin rythms and South American folklore cohabitate .
In September 2009, Ale decided to gather all his new songs of 2005, 2007, and 2009 together in a virtual album (the first that Vinilkosmo-mp3.com will release in November 2009).
Some of the remastered songs of "Hej" appear in this compilation, which brings his new songs together under the title Revolucio en pajleraro (Revolution in straw). The title pays homage to Masanobu Fukuoka, a Japanese farmer who recommended methods of sustainable development for fraternal and ecological cohabitation on our planet.
In the year 2015 Alejandro Cossavella, better known as Ale, moved to the Esperanto farm school Bona Espero en Alto Paraíso (Brazil), where he wrote the songs of Tro.
They were sung accompanied by a guitar, next to the campfire, until Jean-Claude Patalano and the band Vojaĝo agreed to produce them in France.
From this collaboration, with the participation of Vojaĝo, Ĵomart and Nataŝa, Amir, Flávio Fonseca, and Anna Burenius, was born his newest album in january 2019: Tro.

I received my shipment of this ammo and was immediately impressed with the care that was taken to protect my investment. You can tell they go the extra mile with shipping to avoid damage and/or mistakes. The SB3006M2 ammo was great and extremely consistent. I work some with a chronograph to test ballistics and I was really impressed with the uniform performance of this ammo. SGAmmo hasn't sold me anything that wasn't a great product. The shipping went out on the day of purchase and I have found that their prices are the best around.
Great quality ammunition! Purchased some of these for my H&R M1. Very accurate and consistent. Though they are rated at 2700fps @ muzzle, they still seem a little hot. Had some case neck dents during extraction. If you are buying these for your Garand, I highly recommend a Shuster gas plug. With an adjustable gas plug, there is less to no worries about how hot a given load may be.

The Guardian humbly remembers their Archduke Ferdinand assassination coverage ...
How the Guardian played down the assassination that sparked world war | World news | The Guardian:
Via The Guardian
"It is not to be supposed," wrote a correspondent for the Manchester Guardian analysing the significance of the assassination 100 years ago on Saturday, "that the death of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand will have any immediate or salient effect on the politics of Europe."
Thirty-seven days later, Britain declared war on Germany and Europe was plunged into a worldwide conflict in which more than 16 million people died in four years.
"Hah," we laugh, "how incompetent they were back then." We roll our eyes and scoff. "Primitives."
Turn on the TV. A Very Serious Professional News Anchor asks Dick Cheney or Paul Wolfowitz what we should do about Iraq.

A Chinese tourist has taken what he says is a photo of a "monster" hiding in the valleys of Huairou, in the north of Beijing.
The unnamed holidaymaker was camping with some friends in the hilly region, not far from the Great Wall of China, when he saw the "creature".
"I walked far away to have a pee, and suddenly saw a monster. I took a few pictures of it, but I am now terrified."

North Korean verbal saber-rattling over silly movie a precursor to ... ?
BBC News - North Korea threatens war on US over Kim Jong-un movie:
Franco & Rogen getting their orders.
The North Korea spokesman was quoted by the state KCNA news agency as saying: "Making and releasing a movie on a plot to hurt our top-level leadership is the most blatant act of terrorism and war and will absolutely not be tolerated."
He added that the "reckless US provocative insanity" of mobilising a "gangster filmmaker" to challenge the North's leadership was triggering "a gust of hatred and rage" among North Korean people and soldiers.
"If the US administration allows and defends the showing of the film, a merciless counter-measure will be taken," the spokesman was quoted as saying.
Remember that movie that got some radical Islamists all riled up, or not, and then Benghazi happened and the Fox News team has been trying to make political hay for their army of zombies over it ever since? Now that another movie is set to chage another group of dangerously unstable minds I can't help but wonder, how are conservatives preparing to make this into another campaign against Obama?
What sort of triangulations are being calculated under the tin foil hats of the white supremacist/libertarian coalition crowd? Do they think this is the POTUS's attempt to cause another Benghazi to distract from the last Benghazi so HRC can get elected and finally institute World Socialism and Racial Mixing Under Gay Sharia Law?
Or is this another false flag operation where North Korea is actually a super black cadre of IRS agents working for the POTUS to kill prominent American freedom loving conservatives to grease the wheels for UN takeover of health care so they can finally get those Death Panels up and running?
I'm tempted to look into the dark corners of the internet and see what the gobshites are saying ... but, I'm sure I won't have to wait long for the level-headed likes of the Chuck Todds of the world to start reporting fairly on the merit of the arguments for impeachment because ... James Franco.

Planet of Giants - "You don't know anything! All you care about is how much money you can make."
BBC - Doctor Who Classic Episode Guide - Planet of Giants - Details
Season 2, Story 1 (Overall Series Story #9) | Previous - Next | Index
Ian comes face-to-giant-face with a corpse.
Image via BBC Press Room
This is going to be a short write-up -- as befits a story that was chopped down to a 3-parter to solve some pacing issues. What we get on the screen is actually better than you might expect, but it's an odd story for Doctor Who, one which feels like a case of "let's make one where they shrink because that's what sci-fi shows and movies do regularly" more than it does a story that fits into a vision for a show that's going to be going strong into into its 51st year.
I expect someone debating whether to check this one is going to wonder if it looks passable (it does), if it's aged well (well-ish), and if it's too silly to enjoy sober (borderline). It's worth a watch. Heck, it's a complete Hartnell era story and it's short enough, at three episodes, it's not going to be slog you need to gear up to endure now matter how intolerant you might be of miniaturization f/x on a small budget. Some of it looks quite lovely. They did a bang-up job on the sink the Doctor and Susan manage to access from an outside drainpipe, for example. The fly is impressive as well. The attempts to project an image behind the actors to suggest scenery work rather less well. And scale, as with virtually every show that's done smaller or bigger than normal things, proves problematic to keep consistent.
The tipping factor, for me in recommending this, is it's a bit deeper than you might expect thematically -- that's the influence of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring -- and has resonances with "Tomb of the Cybermen" that, to my mind, are a better reason to watch than the giant matchbox and the Adventure in the Sink. It's not exactly a deep examination, but it does reflect a concern about the combination of Capitalism and Science operating in tandem without proper ethical consideration. Capitalism has a greed problem, and Science -- even when pursued for noble aims (here to eliminate hunger) -- has a "we just made something that would be really dangerous in the wrong hands" problem. If the risk those two problems pose isn't mitigated by the exercise of morality, the human race risks bringing a lot of suffering down itself.
If this story dealt with that theme on a somewhat more advanced level, it'd be a marvel. As it is, the scientist seems remarkably blinkered for someone otherwise so intelligent, and the businessman even more sociopathic than ... well, actually not that much more so than a Dick Cheney, for example. But, I digress ...
The shortcomings of those cartoon villains could've been overcome if the Doctor and the companions were at the top of their game, but they're really not here. Ian is so oblivious to Barbara's poisoning he's pure buffoon. Barbara's stoic suffering seems unnecessary. Susan is irritating when she's not merely unremarkable. The Doctor is fine, but lumbered with some of the kludgier dialogue, like when he offers an explanation for the TARDIS doors opening unexpectedly: "The space pressure was far too great whilst we were materialising. The strange thing is that we all came out of it unscathed. It's most puzzling. It's a big mystery, my boy." They're not unscathed, they're an inch tall and they just don't know it yet, so this is supposed to be the Doctor recognizing something must be wrong and sowing the seeds for showing us how insightful he is, but he doesn't figure it out when they come across a giant earthworm. He does figure it out all and come with a plan to bring about a resolution. And what a marvelously anarchic plan it is. His excitement in the execution of it is another character trait that will resonate later; it's a bit of pyromania that foreshadows his apparent delight at Rome's burning.

RIP Tony Gwynn, Mr. Padre
Nightengale: Tony Gwynn was truly the greatest
Tony Gwynn, Hall of Famer
The Padres, to me, have always been that little team out on the West Coast you hardly ever saw on TV ... except for one singularly great hitter who wore a Padre uniform his entire career: Tony Gwynn. Since I was old enough to care about baseball, sometime back in the mid-1970s, there have been only a handful of hitters that I loved to watch no matter what. Tony Gwynn was one of them. He was the second-coming of Rod Carew. He was Wade Boggs without the off-the-field baggage.
Just saw this Tim Kurkjian tribute, which covers it pretty well. I especially like the line, "Tony Gwynn tipped his cap."
Tony Gwynn once averaged .368 over a 5-year stretch in his amazing career. His legacy is legendary. VIDEO: http://t.co/A5cyxBzJ1P

Mawdryn Undead - "In the name of all that is evil, the Black Guardian orders you to destroy him now! "
BBC - Doctor Who Classic Episode Guide - Mawdryn Undead - Details
Season 20, Story 3 (Overall Series Story #126) | Previous - Next | Index
Image via Embroiled in the wars of illusion
There's a sizable contingent out there who make the case for "Kinda" and/or "Snakedance," but for my money "Mawdryn Undead" is the best Davison-era story yet in the original broadcast order -- and possibly the best until "Caves of Androzani". (Well, there's "The Five Doctors" along the way, too. But that's a special case.) I've got several more to re-watch -- including old favorite "Terminus" -- so I reserve the right to change my mind. It's been thirty or so years since I watched a number of these; there's room to be surprised by something being better than I remember.
In the interest of full disclosure, I should confess I made use of the CGI replacement special effects while watching this one. I generally watch both the original and the new effects when the DVD release has them, but in this case I didn't feel like revisiting the old ones and remember well enough how 8-bit they looked. I'm glad they didn't redo any of the incidental music though, I'd forgotten how metal things got in spots. I'd also forgotten how cornball the tune playing when Turlough and Hippo were joyriding in the Brigadier's classic car is.
"Mawdryn" has quite a bit of the ol' wibbly-wobbly and handles it quite well. We meet 1976 and 1983 versions of the Brigadier, and they meet each other in a plot-significant flash of Blinovitch Limitation Effect. Lucky for the Doctor they did because he was about to the regenerations sucked out of him to save Nyssa and Tegan, and save/kill the Time Lord wannabes -- the ones with the brain-exposing skulls that pre-date the monkey entrees from Temple of Doom by a couple years. It's significant that Lethbridge-Stewart is retired in 1976 as that would seem to settle the debate about when the UNIT stories take place -- except it doesn't.
The hardest thing for fans to accept about the continuity is that mistakes were made. There is no master timeline that gets it all straight because the continuity is a hash. The best we can do is take whatever the latest story offers with regard to any question of when things happened as the new final word and treat whatever doesn't make sense as having happened in a branch timeline that either retroactively didn't happen, or didn't happen exactly when or in the same way we saw it happen before. There simply is no one pure reconciled timeline -- heroic efforts by encyclopedically knowledgeable fans notwithstanding.
Famously, this wasn't meant to be the return of the Brigadier. Had William Russell been available it would have Ian Chesterton (!) that would've been teaching math at the boys' school where we meet Turlough. Much as I am fond of the Brigadier, it would've made more sense, and been a much more effective bit of fan service, to see Ian again. That said, and despite Nicholas Courtney not being fond of the story, he does quite well here. The 1976 Brig and the 1983 are very different, and yet they are both recognizably our Brigadier. That's yeoman's work on Nicholas Courtney's part.
Turlough. Well, at least he's not Adric. Untrustworthy companions don't seem to work for me. Turlough, like Rose's pal Adam, is strictly in it for himself and therefore utterly unlikable. I get that's sort of the point. It's edgy and different and opens different dramatic possibilities. There may be a way to get the unlikable companion to work, it just hasn't been discovered yet. If I had to offer a suggestion beyond giving the character an arc that ends up redeeming him or her so they eventually become possible to like, I'd lean towards having that character end up becoming a something a darker version of Captain Jack or River Song, someone with a talent or power or knowledge that could make them an effective recurring foil for the Doctor, so they'd never be a proper companion at all, rather a baddie-in-waiting.
Part of the problem I have with Turlough is actually an extension of the problem I have with the Black Guardian, and the concept of the Guardians in general. I don't like them. It's not so much that they're never properly explained and the rules by which they interact with the universe are never clear, although that ambiguity doesn't seem clever to me -- it strikes me lazy -- the problem I have with them is they're supposedly so powerful and yet, when plotting to destroy the Doctor, the Black Guardian finds this whiny, overgrown schoolboy with insufferable narcissism to be the best available tool to accomplish his end. He also has a dumb bird thing in his hair that is probably supposed to be mythic and symbolic, but looks rubbish.
I was an atheist by age five or so because the character of God in the Biblical stories was self-evidently a monster and an idiot if he couldn't figure out better ways to do things than what the stories related. Likewise, I have no respect for the character of the Black Guardian. Credit frail, old Valentine Dyall for giving his all to lines like "In the name of all that is evil, the Black Guardian orders you to destroy him now!" I quoted for the title of this post because it is just so over-the-top dumb. He's clearly game. But, any villain that is simply pledged to all that is evil AND talks about himself in the third person is, by definition, dramatically uninteresting.
Leftover thoughts:
According to one of the DVD extras "mawdryn" is Welsh for "undead". Would the title of this translated into Welsh then be "Undead Mawdryn"? That's a puzzle for the TARDIS translation circuits to work out.
I should have been tagging episodes that use "reverse the polarity of the neutron flow" and reference "the Blinovitch Limitation Effect" all along. Add that to the list of things to do when I do rewrites to buff up all these posts.

The Curse of Peladon - "I wanted to save our world... to preserve the old ways. Perhaps I was wrong, Peladon. I hope so."
BBC - Doctor Who Classic Episode Guide - The Curse of Peladon - Details
Season 9, Story 2 (Overall Series Story #61) | Previous - Next | Index
Image via Flight Through Eternity
For a show to run as long as Doctor Who, stories like this need to work. This isn't a tent-pole story. Neither a season premiere nor a finale. No major new villain is introduced. No companion joins or departs. There is no galactic-scale peril here. The very nature of time itself is not about to come undone. This is, by and large, meat and potatoes Doctor Who. It's not going to make anyone's Top 10 list, nor should it make anyone's Worst Of Who list either.
If' it's unremarkable by most standards, that's not to say it does nothing either. For one, it's another break from Earth-bound, UNIT stories and brings the TARDIS (and even the Time Lords) back into play. As in "Terror of the Autons" and "Colony in Space", the Doctor is acting as an agent of the Time Lords to tackle some problem they aren't able to meddle in. "Terror" was set on Earth but, like "Colony", "Curse" takes us out into time and space again.
It's also timely. Not only considering the political situation of early-1970s UK and the questions then being debated about whether to join the European Economic Community (EEC). In 2014, the politics are still relevant as the EU wrestles with problems like Greece and the UK itself has Scotland considering independence. The Peladonians are concerned about being bullied by the larger, more advanced civilizations of the Federation (sounds more than a little Star Trek, doesn't it?) should they join. On the other hand, recognizing they could use a leg-up, is the opportunity to benefit from associations with more developed worlds to good to pass up?
In "Curse," Doctor Who seems to be saying joining the Federation (and by extension the EEC in the real world) is progress. Resisting progress based on superstition, xenophobia, fear of other cultures, is characterized as being backwards. I suspect that overtly political tone could alienate some. I'm all for progress, for example, but mineral-rich Peladon would seem to have every reason to be wary. Not all Federations are created equal.
The dynamic between King (well, pending coronation) Peladon and his High Priest Hepesh is well-played. The secular humanist in me can't help but note that the High Priest, whatever his good qualities, is fearful and duplicitous, and he is the one who is on the wrong side of history, as it were. Peladon is more forward-thinking and has the best interests of his people at heart, even as he recognizes Hepesh's concerns.
The TARDIS arrives on storm-ravaged, medieval Peladon just as a committee of delegates is convening to determine Peladon's fitness to join the Galactic Federation and the game is afoot. Who is behind the death of Peladon's Chancellor, is there really a mythical monster returning to punish the wicked, how long can the Doctor and Jo pass themselves off as Earth's delegate and a royal observer?
Oh, and how about those other delegates? Ice Warriors, but not ones bent on conquest; Arcturus, an awful little head in a tank (like a miniature Face of Boe); and the unforgettable spectacle of Alpha Centauri, the hermaphroditic, multi-armed, phallus in a cape. Jo's confustion about how to address her/him/it is quite understandable. Luckily, the Doctor matter-of-factly sets Jo straight and is utterly cool about the encounter. Shades of Nine at the End of the World, Three is quite cosmopolitan here. This may be the most progressive attitude on display and is remarkable for 1972. Of course, it's not exactly like having non-villainous humanoid who is genderqueer, but it's better than presenting as it something to be disgusted by or something to be mistrusted. Small steps.
The dynamic between King Peladon (David Troughton, Patrick's son), Jo, and the Doctor is fun to watch in this story. Despite Peladon's ridiculous high boots and short skirt royal garb, Jo is a bit smitten with him, and he with her. The Doctor also has to act as if Jo, Princess Josephine of TARDIS for purposes of maintaining their deception, is his superior and Pertwee plays his patrician Doctor straining at times to keep it up quite charmingly.
Pertwee also sells the Venusian lullaby and hypnotic aid he uses to tame Aggredor with absolute conviction. He's really very good in this one. All-in-all, I'm a bit shocked this story isn't more widely well thought of. For a less-impressed take, see Wife in Space's take on it. Sue correctly chastises the Doctor for being a bit prejudiced against the Ice Warriors and it's a reminder of how blasé Troughton's Doctor was about routing a ship full of Ice Warriors into the sun that one time.
The Web of Fear - "[I]s it safe?" "Oh, I shouldn't think so for a moment."
BBC - Doctor Who Classic Episode Guide - The Web of Fear - Details
This shot alone worth the price of admission.
No sooner is Salamander sucked out the door into the vortex than we're caught up in a new adventure ... we're shown the TARDIS suspended in space, captured in a web, and then we're dropped straight into a 1950s B horror movie. Over the top acting,stock music cues, and all.
I'm going about this all out of order, so the robot yeti we encounter, and Professor Travers, would've been known by sight to anyone who'd watched "The Abominable Snowmen" first. This story was clearly made as an excuse to see the Yeti again. (Or to reuse them for budget purposes hoping they'd be a success first time around.) That's not particularly ambitious, but "Web" delivers on its modest goal. Those big, shaggy, Great Intelligence-controlled robots may not make hella sense, but they're so damned adorable can you blame fans for loving 'em? (That's a rhetorical question. Because no. You can't.)
After "Enemy" made a Bond-inspired, globe-trotting break from the Base Under Siege structure that characterized several earlier Troughton-era stories, "Web" has us squarely back in that mode. A mode in which it stays stuck for a while. In that sense, this is a bit of let down. Where "Enemy" was doing something a bit daring and different, "Web" takes no chances at all. And, after introducing a strong woman of color in the previous story, is back to being lily-white with only a stereotypical German Jew giving this story anything like diversity. The Yeti, great as they are, are recycled; so, this feels so very much like generic Doctor Who. It's hard to shake the been there, done that ennui.
That feeling of nothing being new here is reinforced by the modern-day viewer's benefit of hindsight. We know that Nicholas Courtney's Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart will get promoted and go on to become a fixture of the series for years to come -- even contributing a daughter to carry on the Stewart name into the new series. Back at the time this was shown, I don't think that was predictable. More likely alert viewers would've thought instead: "Isn't that the bloke who played Bret Vyon a few years back?"
While we're noticing things that will get reused, the foam that fills the tunnels of the London Underground will be used again in "The Seeds of Death" as the spores the Ice Warriors try to smother the Earth with. Again, hindsight makes it obvious, but it wouldn't have seemed so same-y to those watching in 1967.
I lamented the return to League of White Men casting above, but I nearly forgot one of the better moments in terms of the portrayal of women that this story featured:
KNIGHT: What's a girl like you doing in a job like this?
ANNE: Well, when I was a little girl I thought I'd like to be a scientist, so I became a scientist.
You tell him, Anne.
Yeti, Lethbridge-Stewart, the bit of dialogue above, some decent atmosphere. That's what this has going for it. Uncomfortable Jewish stereotyping, some hammy acting, and a general lack of originality or a sense that it has anything in particular to say work against it. Glad it was found, but "Power of the Daleks" still looks like the missing story we needed the most.
You know, I'm glad the restoration team, upon finding finally getting hold of this film, didn't feel obliged to insert a CGI Jenna Coleman into the story to link it to the Series 7 GI arc. (A DVD extra with tongue firmly in cheek on the other hand would've been a nice Easter Egg.)
Small trivia note: John ("Sgt. Benton") Levene, who'd later join Nicholas Courtney as part of the regular UNIT crew appears here, but you wouldn't know it until the credits rolled as he played one of the yeti.
The Enemy of the World - "I'm going out for a walk. It'll probably rain."
BBC - Doctor Who Classic Episode Guide - The Enemy of the World - Details
Are "Enemy" and "Web of Fear" the last of the lost episodes we'll ever see recovered? I don't know if bookmakers have odds on another story turning up, or if there are rumors out there I just haven't heard yet ... but my sense is it's not very likely. Based on what we got with 2013's surprise discoveries though, here's hoping more are stashed away somewhere just waiting to be recognized for what they are.
Salamander is one of the most intriguing villains the show has ever had. It helps that he's played by Patrick Troughton, who is excellent here in his dual roles. But it's not just the novelty and Troughton's charm, it's how sinister Salamander is and how, despite being a mere human, he manages to penetrate the TARDIS and seems to be within a hair's breadth of carrying off his impersonation of the Doctor long enough to be the one who survives at the end. To the extent this story is Doctor Who does James Bond, he's every bit the Bond villain for most of the story, but he's something a bit more complicated. He's not just got a secret lair where his tech comes from, he's running a con on the world at large and on his own his own scientists and lackeys.
And it's the fact all his power comes from a con, which is basically just a story, that makes his super-power, if you will, storytelling. It's not that he can cause earthquakes and volcanoes, it's how he got to wield that power that turns out to be so fascinating. It's why confidence tricksters make such brilliant villains -- think Verbal in The Usual Suspects -- because they're schemes are so high-risk/high-reward; they're always on the verge of being revealed as frauds, even while they're amassing tremendous klout.
"Enemy" takes a bit of a beating in the critical judgments found on the official BBC site, but is adored by Sandifer and hailed as one of the best stories produced. Sandifer, here I am being a critic fanboy again, is much closer to the truth, I think, than The Discontinuity Guide. For one thing, in a season of Base-Under-Siege stories that, frankly, get so tedious it makes them almost impossible to watch on my late-night viewing schedule. Sandifer's analysis keys in on how the narrative subverts the action-adventure tropes, but may over-emphasize the degree to which it does, at least intentionally. This story feels very much like a deliberate attempt to do James Bond & The Avengers where the subversive elements are introduced by necessity of the six-part story structure and the limits of budget. That the end effect is what Sandifer describes I won't dispute, but I suspect it's a happy accident ... the kind which probably only happen to secret geniuses like he argues David Whitaker (this story's writer) is ... that resulted in the brilliant outcome.
Griffin the cook is rightly lauded (universally -- as far as I can tell) as a sublime addition to the story. It's this sort of anarchic playfulness of storytelling style that so few shows even attempt to pull off that adds depth to the whole affair. It looks so quintessentially British to my American eye to have a character so comedically cynical just sort of tossed into the mix. Why don't we see more Griffins on TV?
Let's talk for a moment about the women in this story. There's Victoria, who I don't much care for as a companion, but she and Jamie get to go on a dangerous mission without the Doctor to investigate Salamander. Actually, what the hell were they thinking sending those two on a dangerous mission?! For crying out loud. They don't even know what a helicopter is and they're in a 1960s era spy story of the near future positively littered with helicopters! Still, they acquit themselves admirably, for the most part, and it's not too distracting that they're totally unequipped to do what's asked of them.
Then there's Astrid, who is the Bond women of this story. Sort of. Mercifully she's the action aspect of that role, not the dubiously oversexed aspect. No mere eye candy, sixties era Bond girl here. Not only is she more Bond that Troughton's Doctor, the Doctor is more Bond girl than she is! Watch him frolicking around the shore in his skivvies and marvel at the role reversal. That inversion may be my third favorite thing about this story.
Unless Carmen Munro as Fariah is the next best thing. Forty stories in and I gather from Sandifer's post this is the first black woman to appear on the show. We're still miles away from this being a coup for civil rights, Patrick Troughton ruddied up to play a Mexican villain is hardly a step forward here, but at least he's no Toberman.
The near-future of this 1967-filmed story is practically today. Not exactly recognizable when compared to the real world, or really any other 21st century DW stories either, but that's OK. Continuity is a sucker's game in this universe. The travel between locations is not depicted very effectively, nor does the editing help. I wondered several times where the heck people were, and how they changed continents so suddenly, or if they did.
Small trivia note: Patrick's son, David, has a small role as guard in "Enemy," but he's got a much larger role as King Peladon in "The Curse of Peladon" which, quite coincidentally, I just watched as well, so he'll get mentioned again shortly.
How the NRA Hijacked the Second Amendment
How the NRA Rewrote the Second Amendment - Michael Waldman - POLITICO Magazine
"A fraud on the American public." That's how former Chief Justice Warren Burger described the idea that the Second Amendment gives an unfettered individual right to a gun. When he spoke these words to PBS in 1990, the rock-ribbed conservative appointed by Richard Nixon was expressing the longtime consensus of historians and judges across the political spectrum.
Twenty-five years later, Burger's view seems as quaint as a powdered wig. Not only is an individual right to a firearm widely accepted, but increasingly states are also passing laws to legalize carrying weapons on streets, in parks, in bars—even in churches.

KSR talks Hunger Games
Shaping the Future with Science Fiction and Climate Fiction - KimStanleyRobinson.info:
"Science fiction represents how people in the present feel about the future," Robinson says. "That's why 'big ideas' were prevalent in the 1930s, '40s and partly in the '50s. People felt the future would be better, one way or another. Now it doesn't feel that way. Rich people take nine-tenths of everything and force the rest of us to fight over the remaining tenth, and if we object to that, we are told we are espousing class warfare and are crushed. They toy with us for their entertainment, and they live in ridiculous luxury while we starve and fight each other. This is what The Hunger Games embodies in a narrative, and so the response to it has been tremendous, as it should be."
As it should be.
If schools can help young adults process the reason why the narrative strikes a chord and translate that recognition into civic engagement, they'll be fulfilling one of their purposes. So, instead we see concerted efforts to grind down the teachers, steal from public education to persuade parents send their kids to charter schools, and breed a generation ready accept to their roles as playthings of the idle rich ...

Longtime Alabama Baptist pastor Roy Cordle dies Dec. 31
TAB Media staff
Latest News, Obituaries
Roy Cordle — who served for more than 50 years as a pastor, much of that in Alabama — died Dec. 31. He was 82.
Cordle was around 16 years old when he began to sense a call to ministry. He preached his first sermon in August 1967 at the church where his father served as pastor — Mount Pisgah Baptist in Pell City. He was working simultaneously at a local supermarket, where he worked his way up from bag boy to manager — a job he said God used to prepare him to relate to people.
Over those years, God affirmed Cordle's call to ministry. He earned his bachelor of arts from William Carey College (now William Carey University) in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and bachelor of ministry from Florida Baptist Theological College (now the Baptist College of Florida) in Graceville. He also earned his master of ministry, doctor of ministry and doctor of theology degrees from Covington Theological Seminary in Rossville, Georgia.
Long ministry
Cordle served at a number of Alabama Baptist churches, including First Baptist DeArmanville, Calvary Baptist in Oxford and Louis Street Baptist in Gadsden. He also served at churches in Mississippi and Florida. Cordle also served on the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions and as moderator of Etowah Baptist Association.
In 2008, he retired from the pastorate of Riddles Bend Baptist Church in Rainbow City, where he had served for nearly seven years. But five months after moving to Anniston, he accepted an interim pastor position at New Haven Baptist Church. He served there five years, then accepted the call to Refuge Baptist Church in Lincoln, which honored his 50 years in ministry in 2017.
Cordle is survived by his wife of 57 years, Joan; daughter, Jacque; sisters, Jane and Maxine; brother, Mike; and one granddaughter. He is preceded in death by two brothers, Larry and John.

Pokemon Go promo codes arrive
While many might have been expecting the new coop experience to be the next big change to the game, the development team appear ready to debut something different.To get more news about coupon feature,Buy Now
Pokemon Go promo codes have been anticipated for quite some time, having been found in the game's master code earlier in 2017.
The promotional codes feature appeared overnight as part of an unannounced Pokemon Go update from Niantic, who have yet to reveal their plans for it.And as those who have tried putting in random codes will know, the feature itself is not yet active.
A Pokemon Go promo Code FAQ site run by Niantic is currently available to view, explaining: "Pokémon Go occasionally offers promotional codes through our partnerships and special events. "Promo codes can be used to redeem items such as Poké Balls, Lure Modules, Lucky Eggs, and more."It appears that more Pokemon Go news will arrive later this week, explaining fully how Promo Codes work in relation to the rest of the game.
Some details have already been revealed by dataminers, who have confirmed that promotional codes will be useable with items, Avatar aesthetics, Candy, Stardust and PokeCoins.As fans have found out today, promo codes will be redeemed via the in-game shop, while there will also be different versions.This means that there will be different Pokemon Go promo codes released, some supplied by third parties.
However, it should be noted that Niantic themselves have yet to confirm how they hope to use the new feature in full, but are likely to make an announcement later this week.Pokemon Go Promo Code indicators were first discovered by dataminers back in late March, meaning Niantic have had a long time to flesh out whatever ideas they had before launch.
It's hard to say when the official announcement will be made, the development team have recently taken to posting Pokemon Go news on Thursdays, so it might worth checking the official site on May 4.It follows reports on how the new Pokemon Go Legendaries will be released later this year, with the possibility of a summer launch long rumoured.
Based on Pokemon Go director John Hanke's latest comments, Legendary Pokemon are being treated with care, and will have limitations at Gyms.Hanke is also said to be excited about PvP battles, which suggests that a release date could be near.

Betway Sportsbook Promo Codes Review
Make yourself comfortable as it's time for another sportsbook review and this time Betway will be the topic of focus. The point of this review is to inform you about Betway Sportsbook promotions and current promo codes, odds, betting markets and all else Betway has to offer.To get more news about AT&T Promo codes 2021,Read More
Betway is one of the newest sports betting sites in Colorado, and it still has a limited presence in the U.S. The company is working hard to change that, and it could soon become a household name in the U.S. online sports betting industry.
This Betway review will touch on all of the important features of the sportsbook and will of course discuss the welcome bonus and all other promotions. If you're going to sign up for a new Betway account then you first want to know what's in it for you.
If you make it all the way to the end of the review then you'll know how to create an account at Betway Sportsbook, claim the promo code, make the most of the loyalty promotions and a lot more. There might be bigger names available in the state, but Betway Sportsbook is a great option as well.
If you know how the sports betting industry works then you know how important promo codes can be. Some of these promo codes are easy to find while other sportsbooks make you work to find them.
One of the first solid features you will notice with the Betway Sportsbook is that there's no promo code needed when opening an account. You aren't going to unlock some secret or special offer by entering a promo code when signing up as their welcome deal is available for anyone.This could always change if Betway decides to come up with new promos, but that doesn't appear to be the case at this time.
Betway Sportsbook is trying to play catch up in Colorado, and acquiring customers in a crowded and competitive market isn't easy. Betway does want your business though and they do have a nice welcome bonus available to you.The current promotion is a risk-free bet worth up to $250 at the sportsbook. This provides you with some insurance if for some reason you experience a bad beat and lose your first bet.
There's no deposit bonus available at Betway Sportsbook, and you're in control over how much you want to deposit and wager with your first bet. If you lose your first bet then you'll be credited with a free bet worth your first losing wager.Reading the fine print is never fun, and it's probably not something that you regularly do. There are some terms and conditions attached to the welcome offer from Betway Sportsbook, but we've included all the relevant and important information right here for you.
The first thing to note is that the free bet must be used all at one time. You can't break up the free bet into smaller wagers at Betway Sportsbook like you can at some other sportsbooks.
Another condition of the free bet promotion is that it must be used within one week of being issued. If you're someone that sulks and pouts after losing a bet then you need to make sure you recover within seven days to be able to make your next wager.
Finally, the free bet doesn't transfer over into monetary value, and you'll only receive the winnings from the free bet. Even though this is a very strong promotion offer from Betway, you have to be sure to follow these terms if you want that protection.

First big Shadowlands patch will take us places "unlike anything ...
First big Shadowlands patch will take us places "unlike anything we've seen or done before in World of Warcraft"
As foretold by yesterday's leak, Blizzard has revealed details of the first major content update for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands in its Blizzconline streaming event. The patch is called Chains of Domination and will focus on a drive deeper into the Maw, the terrible domain of the Jailer, the mysterious bad guy disrupting the balance of the Shadowlands - Warcraft's afterlife - and threatening an invasion of all reality with the help of disgraced Horde warchief Sylvanas.To get more news about Buy WoW WLK EU Gold, you can visit lootwowgold official website.
I had a chance to chat to game director Ion Hazzikostas and art director Ely Cannon about Chains of Domination earlier this week. Characterising the thrust of the update, Hazzikostas said: "Now we are beginning a full frontal assault, returning to the Maw, not trying to hide but letting the Jailer know that we're here... In the process, we're going to explore a range of epic environments that are unlike anything we've seen or done before in World of Warcraft - and learn much more about the nature of death, the nature of the Jailer and the foe that awaits us."
The Maw has so far been a different, tougher kind of adventuring zone for WOW players: you can't summon your mount there, you need to avoid the Eye of the Jailer (a kind of alert or 'wanted' system) and you drop currency when you die. But the new Maw area added in the patch - Korthia, the City of Secrets - will be, it seems, more relaxed, "blending some of those elements and some of the thematic elements of the Maw with the traditional outdoor gameplay that we have built up over the years," Hazzikostas said.
Alongside this extension of the main Shadowlands campaign, the four Covenant campaigns will also be continued (and players can earn new Covenant cosmetic armour sets). There'll be a new 10-boss raid, The Sanctum of Domination, which will offer chances to fight the Tarrague - the terror which hunts down players in the roguelike-style dungeon Torghast - as well as the "true Eye of the Jailer" and Sylvanas herself, in what is being called a "fateful confrontation". Would this mark an end to the contentious Sylvanas arc that has dominated WOW lore for several years now? Can she be redeemed? Of course, Hazzikostas wouldn't say, but he indicated that it would be a definitive moment for that character.
Just as exciting, perhaps, is a new eight-boss "mega dungeon" called Tazavesh, the Veiled Market. Venturing into the bazaar of trans-dimensional traders the Brokers, players will go on a "mind-bending" heist that Hazzikostas likened to the legendary Return to Karazhan dungeon - itself a playful remix of the equally legendary Karazhan raid from 2007. "Think of it like a Harry Potter, Gringotts heist inspired dungeon," he said. "Going into [the Brokers'] dungeon is gonna be a whirlwind tour of reality... it's not just a single location, right, it's going to span the reality of Warcraft as we know it."
As has become tradition, the patch will also allow players to unlock the power of flight in Shadowlands, and it sounds like it will be easier to achieve than in the past, "simply by continuing and completing the campaign, no reputation grinding required this time, just play through the main story," Hazzikostas said.
In terms of the systemic and balance changes we can expect from the patch, Hazzikostas was circumspect. "The content that you're going to see, we've known this was coming for a while, right? Systems are much more reactive. They're much more product of what I think of as a conversation between us and the community. And those ideas are still coming together in our 9.05 patch that's on our public test realm right now. We're seeing some evolution both in terms of class and covenant balance, but also how loot is being awarded and how players who focus on dungeons can work towards building up items of their choice. We have a lot more that we want to address regarding loot broadly, how Torghast plays out and more. But those systems are going to unfold themselves as we get on the PTR and can really get direct feedback from our players."
Former 'World Of Warcraft' dev
Earlier this week (October 25), Chris Kaleiki took to Twitter to share the news that he has created his own game studio Notorious Studios – established with other former developers of World Of Warcraft – focused on building the next role-playing game.To get more news about buy wow gold classic, you can visit lootwowgold official website.
"Deciding to leave Blizzard was one of the hardest decisions of my life, " Kaleiki said on his Twitter thread. "When looking at what to do next, I knew I wanted to do something with a smaller team (for a change) and join a team with similar cultural values that I was raised on at Blizzard. Values like putting gameplay (the player experience) first. I knew this would be a high bar."Kaleiki went on to say he and other colleagues at Blizzard decided to set out together and start their own studio with investors such as Riot Games, the developer of League Of Legends, 1UpFund, and Galaxy Interactive.
The former game designer revealed that the name "Notorious" was based around the name of his World Of Warcraft guild of over 17 years, saying it was "symbolic of our company mission and belief in the power of games to bring people together".
Last year, Kaleiki shared a video on his personal YouTube channel explaining why he left Blizzard saying, that he was "unhappy with the state of the game".
Following the harassment and discrimination lawsuit that was filed by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing against Activision Blizzard in July, the publisher's CEO Bobby Kotick has shared that he has voluntarily reduced his income until the company meets self-imposed targets.
Kotick is apparently taking $62,500 (£45,500) for this year, saying "To be clear, this is a reduction in my overall compensation, not just my salary. I am asking not to receive any bonuses or be granted any equity during this time".
What you need to know about masks
Masks are coverings that cover the wearer's nose and mouth. There are different types of masks:To get more news about quality medical surgical mask factory outlet, you can visit tnkme.com official website.
It is important that the mask is worn properly over the nose and mouth and removed properly to protect yourself against COVID-19. Watch this video to find out more.Face masks such as cloth or fabric masks act as a simple barrier and work as "source control"[1].
"Source control" refers to preventing the wearer's respiratory droplets from travelling into the air and onto other people when the person wearing the mask coughs, sneezes, talks etc.
These are not suitable for use during medical and surgical procedures in healthcare facilities, where exposure and risk of transmission of infection is higher. These masks may be used by the general public and in community settings. Please refer to MOH's guidance and FAQs on the use of masks.
Face masks are not regulated as medical devices under the Health Sciences Authority (HSA). Therefore, the quality and effectiveness of face masks are not regulated by HSA.For greater effectiveness, choose face masks that have good filtration capability. Examples of such masks include those distributed by the People's Association and Temasek Foundation.
Do not choose masks with exhalation valves, as these allow the escape of exhaled droplets from the wearer and exposes others to the risk of infection.
Face masks with good filtering efficiency help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others by acting as a "source control". Wearing a mask in public places limits exposure to respiratory droplets and large particles and reduces the risk of community spread of infection[2]. This is especially relevant for asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic infected wearers who feel well and may be unaware that they are infectious[3].
These masks are particularly useful in public settings (e.g. when using public transport) when strict adherence to safe distancing may be challenging.Surgical masks are medical masks that offer both "source control" and protection for the wearer against exposure to splashes and sprays of infectious material from others. Therefore, in situations where an individual is in contact with an infected or a potentially infected individual (e.g. visiting a clinic for consultation, patient care givers) a surgical mask is recommended.
Surgical masks offer high filtration efficiency, adequate breathability and reasonable fluid penetration resistance. Their performance characteristics are tested according to a set of standardised test methods based on international standards such as ASTM F2100, EN 14683, Singapore Standard SS 669 series[4] or equivalent to verify that they meet prescribed requirements for bacterial filtration efficiency (at least 95%), breathability, splash resistance etc.
These masks, which are used during medical and surgical procedures in healthcare settings, are regulated as medical devices under HSA.

A comprehensive review of various categories of face masks resistant to Covid-19
The science about the usage of face masks by the common public to avert COVID-19 transmission is proceeding swiftly. A primary route of transmission of COVID-19 is probably through small respiratory droplets, and it is transmissible from asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic individuals. According to the World Health Organization, wearing a mask in public can help reduce the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Different categories and types of masks and their usage are reviewed in this work. In a nutshell, this review work elucidates the aspects of utilizing the various face masks along with all possibilities to fight against the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19.To get more news about famous FFP2 mask stock, you can visit tnkme.com official website.
World Health Organization (WHO), announced on January 30, 2020, a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) in response to the emersion of a novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China. Later, on March 11, 2020, WHO announced COVID-19 to be a pandemic, it is the 2nd pandemic of the 21st century after the pandemic of 2009 caused by influenza A H1N1.1 , 2
In the declaration by WHO on February 11, 2020, the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by the virus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is genetically related to the coronavirus responsible for the SARS outbreak of 2003.3
As of August 29, 2020, more than 24.7 million cases have been reported across 188 countries and territories, causing more than 837,000 deaths with a recovering of 16.2 million people. In this case, proactive infection monitoring criteria have been executed in hospital set-ups.4 , 5
To control the further outbreak of pandemic disease COVID-19 among people, WHO provided some guidelines and instructions to the general public to follow such as the continuous practice of hand hygiene, maintaining social distancing, wearing a mask in public, avoiding social gatherings and practising self-isolation and home quarantine. In addition, with the guidelines of WHO, the authorities also implemented some rules such as quarantine and testing of all travellers, closing and regulating the city and country borders, along with massive testing for case detection by RT-PCR (reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction) technique. Later, stay at home order, lockdowns, home isolation, cancellation of mass gatherings and prohibiting traveling were acquired to several degrees and at various time points in several countries to alleviate the threat of community transmission. It is unclear when the outbreak will end, and there are no known vaccines or antiviral therapies that are 100% effective against the coronavirus.3 , 5 Though there has been working on immunization and numerous vaccines have been created so far, none of them can guarantee 100 % efficacy against SARS-CoV-2.6, 7, 8
To handle the ongoing COVID -19 pandemic situation, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had recommended the public to put on face masks. Many Asian countries, which have had greater experience with new coronavirus infections, use public masks significantly more frequently. Face Masks have been recommended as a primary potent tool to control the COVID-19 outbreak in China.9 However, the World Health Organization (WHO) advises that face masks should only be worn by individuals caring for patients with suspected COVID-19 or those who are actively sneezing or coughing.10
Many governments around the world have introduced policies that recommend the wearing of masks to slow down the expanse of COVID-19. Mandatory use and enforcement vary globally. While several countries have passed legislation requiring the use of masks, others, like China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, have issued more precise guidelines.11

HeiQ launches high-tech mask featuring ground-breaking copper technology
Global leader in textile and materials innovation, HeiQ, launches HeiQ MetalliQ, a futuristic-looking, high-tech surgical mask that destroys all viruses and bacteria tested, up to 100% efficacy.HeiQ MetalliQ doesn't only look metallic. The mask with a patented design actually contains an ultra-thin pure copper coating applied via a high-tech vapor deposition process, called HeiQ MetalliX, which converts a minute amount of copper into vapour, allowing it to be deposited evenly to surround each fibre. HeiQ MetalliX is a patent-pending technology, created by HeiQ's innovation partner, Australian materials technology company, Xefco. Studies conducted by the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Melbourne, Australia (Doherty Institute) showed that fabrics treated by the HeiQ MetalliX technology significantly deactivated the infectious SARS-CoV-2 virus (the virus that causes COVID-19) in as little as 5 minutes.To get more news about quality nonmedical mask factory, you can visit tnkme.com official website.
The testing protocol simulated the real-life interaction of aerosol droplets contaminating textile products such as face masks. Each sample was exposed to a high loading of SARS-CoV-2 followed by 5, 15 and 30 minutes incubation at room temperature before the amount of remaining infectious SARS-CoV-2 viruses was measured. The fabric samples treated with HeiQ MetalliX indicated a virus reduction of over 97.79% in five minutes, 99.95% in 15 minutes and over 99.99% in 30 minutes, relative to the inoculum control.
"Our team of experts continue their vital work to minimise the impact of the novel coronavirus." Dr Julie McAuley, Senior Research Officer at the Doherty Institute, stated, "testing the ability of different surface treatments to reduce infectivity of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is one way that our research can help provide insights towards helping to stop the spread of COVID-19", Dr McAuley added.
Copper is a naturally occurring element, present in the earth's crust, soil, oceans, lakes and rivers. It is also a trace element that occurs naturally in all humans, plants and animals. The antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties of copper have been known for centuries and have been demonstrated by many laboratory studies. HeiQ MetalliX treated materials release copper ions which deactivate viruses and bacteria. Treated materials have also been tested to kill 100% of Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae and deactivate 99.95% of H1N1 virus and 99.9% of Human Coronavirus 229E.
Made in EU, HeiQ MetalliQ is manufactured in HeiQ Medica in Spain where HeiQ also conducts R&D activities for medical devices. Throughout the development of the HeiQ MetalliX technology, Xefco worked closely with long-standing research partner the Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM) at Deakin University, as part of the world-class ARC Research Hub for Future Fibres, of which HeiQ is also a member.
"You can pretty much 'heiq' everything to add additional functions to an every-day product. This time we up our game once again in antiviral protection, with an upgraded and premium appearance. Spring is calling. As we emerge from lock-down we want to be extra protected and protect the others. HeiQ MetalliQ is designed exactly to provide that extra level of confidence. Further, it gives an edgy look, making it an improved alternative to surgical masks in many ways," says Carlo Centonze, co-founder and CEO of HeiQ Group.

Working at Volvo
We've gathered together our favorite articles, interviews and films from the world of Volvo. Enjoy!
The Scandinavian model
Oslo's mix of busy streets and laid-back Scandinavian attitude is the backdrop as we discover what makes the new XC40 the perfect SUV for the city.
Life's invisible luxury
This article is part of our 'Passionate people behind Volvo' series. In this article, we meet two of the experts who work as part of Volvo Cars' Interior Air Quality Testing Team. As we are guided through their working day, the Interior Air Quality Testing Team explain Volvo Cars' approach to ensuring Volvo drivers enjoy a clean and healthy in-car environment that is free from emissions.
A new lease of life
In 1945, Volvo Cars began renovating gearboxes in the small Swedish town of Köping. Today, our commitment to remanufacturing Volvo Genuine Parts is stronger than ever: which is good news for you, your car and the environment.
Travelling without a trace
Even though we might complain about the cold, our winter landscapes are extremely beautiful and valuable. Wouldn't it be great if we could focus on protecting and enjoying them at the same time?
It's more than a kilometre long – with a corridor running the entire length of it – and around 6,500 people work there. Every day around 1,200 cars roll out of the doors and onto the roads, and every single one of them is made to order.
The race for perfection
In this article, we visit the Volvo Ocean Race Boatyard in Lisbon, Portugal. Here, we meet the team of experts responsible for repairing and re-fitting the entire fleet of Volvo Ocean 65 boats that will compete in the 2017-18 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race. We describe each team member's individual area of expertise and show how the team works together to ensure that each boat is repaired identically, on time and to the highest possible standard. Their expertise in different areas represents the same level of competence you find at a Volvo workshop. We also meet Swedish sailor Martin Strömberg, who won the 2011-12 edition of the race, to find out what a great service programme gives him as a sailor.
Volvo Cars' safety: a proud heritage
The safety vision that nobody will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car is the result of a dedication to saving lives that has been passed on from generation to generation of Volvo people since the company was founded in 1927.
The quietest place
Here at Volvo Cars, we're continually inspired by the Swedish landscape. Like Muttos - a national park in the far north of the country where the vast, sublime prehistoric forest becomes open to everybody.
Bound by sound
1966 was quite a year for music. The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Bob Dylan all released groundbreaking albums that completely transformed the cultural landscape. But while Lennon and McCartney and their contemporaries were busy reinventing the way music was made, a classical music enthusiast called John Bowers was focusing his attention and expertise on reinventing the way we listened to it.
A unique way of connecting people
In the past, keeping people connected was a lot more difficult than it is today. It took ingenuity, risk and a whole lot of manpower. We explore Sweden's oldest and most ambitious way of keeping people connected – the Göta Canal.

Part 1. Organophosphorus chemical agents – from sarin to "Novichoks"
The "Novichoks" binary systems the information about which was published for the first time by Vil Mirzayanov in 1992 [1] became the last group. Developments were conducted in the State Scientific Research Institute of Organic Chemistry and Technology (GosNIIOKhT) [2]. Mirzayanov was not a developer of "Novichoks", he took part in testing of these compounds.
In 1995 Mirzayanov left to the USA where he wrote and published two books which contain some information on "Novichoks". More precisely, the first book [3] is collected articles, one of them was written by Mirzayanov, the second one [4] is a long enough Mirzayanov's autobiography written, as I thought, for the purpose of the self-justification. In chapter 8 of this book formulas and preparation schemes of a number of organophosphorus CA, including "Novichoks", are given.
When I began to write this popular scientific sketch in connection with Skripal poisoning (under Anatoly Baranov, Chief Editor of Forum.msk, request) I wanted to restrict it by "Novichoks" only. But later I understood that it is necessary to describe history of all the organophosphorus CAs, as there are many interesting moments in it and there are obvious relationships between the first groups of these CAs and the subsequent ones.
Thus all the organophosphorus CAs can be divided into one-component (unitary) ones which are high toxic and act directly, and two-component (binary) systems where both components are low or non-toxic, and toxic substances are formed at their mixing and interaction.
For information – "Novichoks" relate to binary systems.
A. One-component (unitary) organophosphorus CAs
Compounds of the G group – sarin and others
4 CAs of the G group are described in Wikipedia – sarin [5], soman [6], cyclosarin [7] and tabun [8]. They were obtained in nazi Germany and went to the USSR, the USA and Great Britain after the II World War as trophies:
isopropyl alcohol residue
pinacolyl alcohol residue
cyclohexanol residue
Molecules of sarin, soman, cyclosarin have a strong similarity and related to one chemical group of the organophosphorus CAs, as P‑F bond is responsible for activity in them. There also is one bond with hydrocarbon radical P‑R and other bond with alcohol residual P‑OR (ester group) in them. Among themselves these three molecules differ only by alcohol residuals OR (specified under the formulas, cyclosarin was not manufactured in large quantities because of relative high price of corresponding alcohol [7]).
Compounds of this type (containing one bond P‑R) are termed phosphonates (or phosphonyl compounds, in this case – phosphonyl fluorides).
Molecule of tabun strongly differs from molecules of other substances of the G group. P‑C≡N bond is responsible for activity in it, and this is the only organophosphorus CA with similar bond. Therefore assignment of tabun to the G group is conditional (historical), from the chemical point of view it is a representative of separate chemical group of the organophosphorus CAs.
Synthesis of sarin and its analogues
It would seem, preparation methods of sarin and its analogues should be secret. However on the above-mentioned Wikipedia pages there are not only formulas, but also schemes of synthesis of these compounds. For example, the simplest synthesis for "the most popular" sarin is an esterification reaction given on English page [5]:
Methylphosphonyl difluoride
[Scheme 1]
Other scheme given on Russian page [5]:
Methylphosphonyl dichloride
Sodium fluoride
Chlorides (scheme 2) is easier esterified than fluorides (scheme 1), replacement of second chlorine by fluorine is carried out under action of sodium (or potassium) fluoride.
I give these schemes as I will refer to them further in this sketch.
Soman, cyclosarin and other sarin analogues, different by alcohol residuals only, may be synthesized in the same manner as sarin.
When I saw these schemes on Wikipedia pages, I had a question – when there was a first open publication on sarin synthesis – in the West, of course, because in the USSR it was impossible.
Search in references led to a conclusion that it probably was an article [9] published in 1960 in a very solid journal, Canadian Journal of Chemistry, to which all leading libraries of the world were subscribed. Now it is possible to download pdf from the site of this journal, and it is free of charge. But the paper version was accessible still in those days.
Yes, in this Canadian scientists' article synthesis of labeled sarin (32P) was described in several variants, but from the chemical point of view all the same. And the schemes given in Wikipedia on English page [5] obviously derived from ones described in the article [9].
Additionally it is necessary to notice that later another scheme of synthesis of sarin (and its analogues) was developed in GosNIIOKhT according to Mirzayanov [4]:
Methylcyanophosphinyl fluoride
This scheme is also required further in this sketch.
Therefore if you hear or read in mass-media that somewhere in the East (and not only in the East) any terrorists (and not only terrorists) synthesize sarin (it is the easiest) or its analogues – be not surprised. It is quite possible. As almost 60 years these schemes are known to all who can interest them.
But observance of three conditions is necessary:
1. Specialists-chemists of enough high qualification are necessary
Now such specialists can be found in the majority of the countries of the East and Latin America, but in the majority of the countries of tropical Africa – hardly.
2. Appropriately equipped laboratory is necessary
It is not a problem, but money is needed for this purpose.
3. Strict observance of safety measures is necessary
It is possible only at performance of points 1 and 2.
Otherwise the synthesizing persons with enough high degree of probability become the first victims of the CAs synthesized by them.
Incidentally, with all responsibility I can declare that bearded men can't work in similar laboratories: beard is a collector of contaminations and not allowed to put on a gas mask. Therefore if suddenly any mass-media show the bearded men synthesizing the CAs – don't believe.
Compounds of the V group – VG, VX and VR
Synthesis of VG, VX and their analogues
Compounds of the A group
Synthesis of compounds of the A group
B. Two-component organophosphorus CAs (binary systems)
Binary systems developed in the USA
Binary systems developed in the USSR ("Novichoks")
Synthesis of cyano-precursors – main component of binary "Novichoks"

There are countless multivitamins and micronutrients on the market these days, so it's hard to know which one is best.
What Does Q Max Do?
Pros: Q Max multivitamin is one of the best multivitamins on the market. We saw better mental clarity, and better mental focus. It's a top rated cognitive enhancer. Overall, Q Max from Q Sciences is the brain booster you need for your daily vitamin intake.
Cons: Some users can't metabolize vitamin B12 and folate. Q Max is essentially the same product as EMPowerplus Q96, except the vitamins in Q Max are in methyl form, which makes them easier to metabolize. Because of this, users will spend a little bit more for this product.
Verdict: Q Max has 36 vitamins and delivers those vitamins safely, which is an amazing accomplishment by Q Sciences. This cognitive enhancer health vitamin is one we'd recommend for anyone who wants to achieve mental clarity, mental flexibility and better brain health. It's all natural and organic, and a fantastic multivitamin.
There are supplements for just about everything nowadays. Some products work, while others don't, and have terrible side effects. We started taking Q Max by Q Sciences to see if it really works to improve mental alertness and mental clarity. We already tested and loved EMPowerplus Q96 from Q Sciences, so it's possible we were a little biased going into this, but we still tried to take an objective look because not all micronutrients are created equal. Q Sciences makes numerous claims about their product, and after copious research, we've found that Q Max is another one of Q Sciences premium products. Just like Q96, Q Max delivers on the promise of what this micronutrient (sometimes referred to as nootropics) can do for the brain and overall health.
Based on the reviews from Amazon, Q Max Micronutrients has scored 5 stars out of 5 (with 5 reviews to date) with many of the reviews highlighting Q Max's ability to help with memory enhancement, focus and alertness, act as an antidepressant, and mood stabilization.
Q Max is a micronutrient complex of 36 vitamins. Essentially this product is a premium multivitamin specially formulated to provide nutritional support at the cellular level for maximum results. But, Q Max does a lot more than that. It supports whole-body health, promotes improved cognition and overall brain health, increases energy production (naturally, of course), and is easily absorbed so your body metabolizes the nutrients instead of, well, pooping them out. Q Max also acts a mood stabilizer, nootropic (if you're not familiar with nootropics, research them, because they're pretty cool), brain boost supplement, memory enhancer (memory pills), and a micronutrient. There are many sister-products for Q Max: EMPowerplus Q96, Truehope EMPowerplus, Truehope EMP and EMPowerplus Advanced. The one thing that separates these from Q Max is its inclusion of the methyl forms of vitamin B12 and folate. The methyl forms of these vitamins make it so nearly everyone can absorb them.
Nearly half the population has a genetic trait known as the MTHFR (Google it) gene, which affects proper methylation in the body. This basically means is your genes either "turn on" or "turn off" because of the lack of certain B vitamins. The B vitamins are already in methyl forms in Q Max, so everyone can absorb them. On top of that (and this is incredible nutra-science), every capsule in Q Max undergoes a 96-hour preparation where the minerals are ground into nanoparticles so your body really absorbs them; this is called micronization and chelation and you won't find many products that offer this intensive and effective nutra-science. This creates an effect we love, where, very similar to EMPowerplus Q96, you can feel this brain booster working.
What's really interesting about this product is the amount of users who use it to help with mood swings, depression, and anxiety. Q Sciences does mention this product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. However, there are a handful of reviews on Amazon that directly state they use this product to help ease the burdens associated with behavioral and mental diseases. There are a handful of other benefits Q Max offers: better brain health, mental focus, mental clarity, and enhanced cognition.
Q Max contains a micronutrient blend of 36 vitamins, minerals, and amino acids designed to deliver essential nutritional support to the body and the mind. Q Max was engineered to be one of the highest quality premium multivitamins for the body and cognition on the market. This brain fog supplement provides one of the best formulas to ensure those micronutrients continually feed the body. Q Sciences Q Max formula includes: Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Vitamin E, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacinamide, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, methyl folate, Vitamin B12, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Iron, and Iodine. (Check out Q Max's Product page on Amazon for a comprehensive list of all the ingredients). All ingredients are all natural and safe.
The suggested use of Q Max micronutrients per the manufacturer is to take two capsules twice daily between meals (4 total capsules per day). You'll also want to store them in a cool, dry place. Four capsules might seem like a lot at first, but you'll want to follow these guidelines to ensure maximum results right away. Q Max's effectiveness is only as effective as the users diligence in taking the suggested use. One thing about Q Sciences products (whether it be Q Max, EMPowerplus Q96, Q Amino Acids, vitamin sprays, or any other supplement they offer) is they're designed to be taken together. So if you're taking Q Max as a micronutrient supplement and want to stack it with Q Amino Acids or Q Vitalize Women, you're not going to get the typical side effects users experience when taking multiple vitamin products from different manufacturers. Q Sciences ability to design products to be taken together is just phenomenal.
Another added benefit of purchasing products from Q Sciences is their guarantee. According to their Amazon listing, you can purchase Q Max risk-free for 30 days with a money back guarantee. The listing also states you can send the product back for a full refund if you are unsatisfied for any reason. You read that right: Full. Refund. This is what you want from a nutritional supplement company. Q Sciences stands behind their product and they back that up with a money back guarantee.
When it comes to Q Sciences Q Max micronutrient brain booster supplement, you couldn't ask for a better multivitamin nootropic for the body and the mind. The healthy effect of Q Max on your body and well-being is incredible. Most supplements take some time to feel the impacts, but Q Max delivers nutrients right away. You'll notice an immediate increase in mental alertness and mood improvement. You will also notice a boost in energy and an improvement in the immune system (over time).
As mentioned previously, beginning to take a new vitamin or supplement can be an anxious ordeal for some. Q Max micronutrients has the scientific research to back it and like many other Q Sciences' products, this one works. And to add extra comfort, Q Sciences has impeccable customer support. This should be the standard users expect from a vitamin supplement. This micronutrient brain fog supplement is a multivitamin we'd recommend to anyone looking for mental clarity, mental enhancement, mood stabilization, boost energy naturally, and improve health as well as an array of other health benefits. We love Q Max micronutrients and its ability to deliver nutrients and results; this product is one you'll want to add to a daily regimen of vitamins and supplements.

This micronutrient is a standard part of the vitamin mix at our house. We used to take Q 96, but when Q Sciences released Q Max with the addition of methylated B vitamins we figured it was worth the switch. We find that we take less and it seems to work better for us. This is especially important if you have someone in your family that may struggle to uptake or process their B vitamins.
Me: I find that having a solid micronutrient like Q Max in my vitamin mix has helped me with that mom brain fog that seems to plague so many of us. Two each morning is my perfect dose.
My Husband: He has struggled with ADHD (especially growing up) and often has a hard time focusing. He feels like adding Q Max to his vitamin lineup has helped him focus and calms his overall mood.
My Kids: I feel like this is a great vitamin to have on board in general with kids. Kids tend to get plenty of macro nutrients and not enough micro nutrients (especially picky eaters). Q Max has helped my middle child in particular. She may have inherited a little bit of ADD from her dad. Her mind moves a million miles a minute and she often struggles to focus and can feel a little anxious. When she is on top of taking her Q Max vitamin she has an easier time falling asleep, feels less anxious, and I've even noticed a difference in her grades. She pointed out to me on her own that her math grade had improved and that she felt like it was because she was able to sit still and focus more in class after having taken Q Max consistently.
Dosage: I find everyone in my family has a different sweet spot. While the recommended dosage for Q Max is 4 per day (2 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon), I find that my teenagers do best with just two in the morning, my grade-schooler takes 1 in the morning, my husband takes just 1 in the morning, and I take 2 in the morning. Our bottle of Q Max goes farther than expected with our family.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We have noticed that if you take Q Max too late in the day that it can make it difficult to fall asleep later that night. As a rule of thumb I'd make sure you've taken your personal dosage before 4:00 p.m. and you'll be fine. Also, my kids will get a slight tummy ache if they take them in the morning without food. Be sure to take that morning dose WITH FOOD, it makes a huge difference.
