Modern Russian Military Aircraft (Technical Guides) (Hardcover)
By Ryan Cunningham
NOT ON HAND, but usually Ships in 2-7 Days
Illustrated throughout with detailed artworks with authentic markings and exhaustive specifications, this compact guide covers all the military aircraft deployed by the Russian Air Force from the end of the Cold War to the present.
The Russian Air Force is the world's second-largest military air arm, capable of deploying more than 4,000 military aircraft. Organized by type, this book includes every significant aircraft used by the Russian military over the last 30 years, from the latest Sukhoi Su-57 stealth fighter and Kamov Ka-50 "Black Shark" attack helicopter to the evergreen Sukhoi Su-25 close air-support aircraft and the venerable Ilyushin Il-76 airlifter transport. The guide is illustrated with profile artworks, three-views, and dynamic view artworks of the more famous aircraft still in service, such as the Sukhoi Su-27 "Flanker," Mikoyan MiG-29 multirole fighter, and Tupolev Tu-160 heavy bomber. Modern Russian Military Aircraft is an essential reference for modelers and aviation enthusiasts with a passion for modern military aircraft.

Personal Information: information about an identifiable individual that is recorded in any form, but does not include aggregated information or depersonalized that cannot be associated with a User.

Use: the treatment, handling and management of Personal Information by and within Toronto Tapers.

If you are a business customer or prospective business customer, Personal Information does not include your title, business address and business telephone number when we use that information to contact you in your business capacity. Further, Personal Information does not include information that is aggregated or anonymized in such a manner that it cannot be connected to you or any other User. Such information by itself or together cannot be tracked to a specific individual's Personal Information.
Toronto Tapers collects non-Personal Information ("NPI") about Users when they interact with the Site or use our services. For example, we collect information about what site referred you to our website, your browser type, operating system type and version, language, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address.

Where appropriate, Toronto Tapers will generally seek consent for the use or disclosure of the information at the time of collection. In certain circumstances, consent with respect to use or disclosure may be sought after the information has been collected but before use (for example, when Toronto Tapers wants to use information for a purpose other than those identified above). In obtaining consent, Toronto Tapers will use reasonable efforts to ensure that a User is advised of the identified purposes for which Personal Information collected will be used or disclosed.
The form of consent sought by Toronto Tapers may vary, depending upon the circumstances and type of information disclosed. In determining the appropriate form of consent, Toronto Tapers shall take into account the sensitivity of the Personal Information and the reasonable expectations of Toronto Tapers's Users.

Subject to the foregoing, only Toronto Tapers's employees, agents, contractors, service providers (and their employees and contractors) with a business need to know, or whose duties reasonably so require, are granted access to Personal Information about you.

36 Iconic Edinburgh Landmarks + Top Instagram Spots
A common question is, 'what tourist landmarks are there in Edinburgh'? Here I list some famous Edinburgh landmarks and top Instagram spots including;
Victoria Street – Instagram Spot
Edinburgh Underground
Royal Palaces
Historic Churches and Abbeys
Scotch Whisky Experience
Murrayfield – Largest Stadium in Scotland + Football Stadiums
Museums of Edinburgh
Braid Apartments – UNESCO New Town Edinburgh
Dean Village – Top Edinburgh Instagram Spot
There are over 3000 hotels in Edinburgh therefore you should find a suitable hotel for your budget.
Of all the famous landmarks in Edinburgh, Edinburgh Castle is arguably the most famous. What's more, it's visible from most parts of Edinburgh. The castle was built from the 12th century and holds a lot of history therefore a full day is required to explore it. You can buy a regular entry ticket, alternatively, you'll learn a lot more with a skip the line ticket plus guided tour. Don't miss the One O'Clock Gun firing each day at 1pm. Finally, an interesting fact is that the Scottish Crown Jewels were hidden in a castle cellar during World War II. Today, they're proudly on display in the Crown Room. Did you know the know the Scottish Crown Jewels are older than the English ones you'll find in London?
Arthur's Seat was formed by a now extinct volcano. Additionally, both the adjacent hills of Edinburgh Castle and Calton Hill were also formed by this volcano. For this reason, as you climb the hill be sure to take note of the unique formations you're walking through.
Why is Arthur's Seat called Arthur's Seat?
Nobody knows why it's called Arthur's Seat however, there are 2 possible explanations. Firstly and most likely, 'Ard na said' is Gaelic for 'Height of Arrows'. Therefore it's true name is Height of Arrows. Alternatively and less likely is that it's the former site of Camelot and King Arthur.
Sunset from Arthur's Seat – Top Edinburgh Instagram Spot
What will be your reward if you climb Arthur's Seat? As well as a good exercise, you'll witness wonderful panoramic views over Edinburgh. As a matter of fact, you can see the majority of the Edinburgh landmarks from the top of Arthur's Seat. I recommend you visit around sunset to witness something majestic.
Calton Hill – Edinburgh Acropolis
Did you know Edinburgh is often referred to as the Athens of the North? The reason for this is Calton Hill and its monuments. In fact, Calton Hill is also known as Edinburgh Acropolis. The UNESCO Calton Hill is adjacent to Edinburgh New Town and it's a much easier climb than Arthur's Seat. Lastly for photographers, Calton Hill photographs better from a distance, just as the Athens Acropolis does.
National Monument of Scotland
The National Monument of Scotland was built from 1826 to 1829. It honors both the Scottish soldiers and sailors who lost their lives during the Napoleonic Wars of 1803 to 1815. Based on the Athens Parthenon, the Scottish equivalent is clearly unfinished. Nevertheless it's still a sight to behold and a rare remembrance of the Napoleonic Wars.
Nelson Monument
On the highest point of Calton Hill is Nelson Monument. Take note of the time ball on the monument which serves the same purpose as the Edinburgh Castle One O'Clock Gun.
Dugald Stewart Monument
The Dugald Stewart Monument is based on the design of the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens. But who is Dugald Stewart? Dugald Stewart was a philosopher and professor at Edinburgh University.
Old Royal High School
The Old Royal High School is a Neoclassical style building abandoned on Calton Hill. With Edinburgh's ghostly history, I wonder what it's like inside? Lastly, other monuments on Calton Hill include, Robert Burns Monument, Political Martyrs' Monument as well as the City Observatory.
Victoria Street – Top Edinburgh Instagram Spot
Victoria Street is a cobbled street close to the Royal Mile. What's more, its curve and colorful buildings make it a top Edinburgh Instagram spot. For this reason, it's not unusual to see girls posing for photos in the middle of the street. Finally, as you walk down Victoria Street, don't miss the Harry Potter store!
Did you know Edinburgh is home to an underground city? With the dark history of Edinburgh, a visit to the underground vaults is a must. Access to the Edinburgh underground is limited. As a result, I highly recommend you book a ticket online in advance and check the available tour times. Finally, read about my Edinburgh Underground experience on my travel blog.
The residence of the British Monarch in Scotland is officially known as the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Effectively, it's the Buckingham Palace of Scotland. However, the difference between this and Buckingham Palace is that it's much easier to visit. With an entry ticket you can walk freely throughout the palace and explore the royal interior. There's also some Rembrandt paintings on display.
Holyrood Abbey
Adjacent to Holyrood Palace are the ruins of Holyrood Abbey. The history of this church dates back to the 12th century. You gain access to the abbey with your Holyrood Palace ticket.
Firstly, entry to the Scottish Parliament is free. What's more, you can watch the ministers debate. However, if you visit when they're not debating, you're welcome to photograph the debating chamber. As you would expect, this is a popular selfie spot in Edinburgh! Visit the official Scottish Parliament website for more information and the debating times.
At one end of the Royal Mile is Holyrood Palace. At the other end is Edinburgh Castle. A walk along the Royal Mile guarantees you see several Edinburgh Landmarks. In addition, the street is lined with pubs, restaurants, souvenir shops and even a few iconic red phone boxes.
St Giles' Cathedral is the principal religious building in Edinburgh. It was built in the 12th century and is a major landmark on the Royal Mile. I highly recommend you visit the interior to view the huge stained glass windows. In addition, you'll see tombs as well as a huge organ. Lastly, when I visited there was a huge moon hanging from the ceiling.
Scotland is known for the best whisky in the world. For this reason, you may want to visit the Scotch Whisky Experience. Here you'll find the largest private collection of whisky in the world, all in one room! How about this as a top Edinburgh Instagram spot? Additionally, you can take a whisky tasting class and learn all about this Scottish drink. Read about my visit to the Scotch Whisky Experience on my travel blog.
On a visit to the National Museum of Scotland you'll learn all about the history and culture of Scotland. Moreover, there are many antiquities from around the world including ancient Egypt. For the latest information and exhibits check the official Museum of Scotland website. How much does it cost to enter the museum? Entry is free but they do accept donations.
The first Edinburgh landmark you'll see may be Scott Monument if you arrive in Edinburgh by train. The Scott Monument is adjacent to Edinburgh Waverley train station. It's a tall Victorian Gothic monument, as a result it will definitely grab your attention. Who is Scott? The monument is in honor of Scottish author Sir Walter Scott. An interesting fact is that it's the second tallest monument in the world in honor of an author.
The main street of Edinburgh New Town is the Princes Street. As well as access to Edinburgh Waverley train station, the Edinburgh tram runs down Princes Street. The street is lined with restaurants, hotels and shops. In addition, adjacent to this busy street is the peaceful Princes Street Gardens which offers Edinburgh Castle views.
Murrayfield is the largest stadium is Scotland and home to Scottish Rugby. Sports and rugby fans in particular would enjoy a visit to this iconic stadium. Check the schedule to see if there's a rugby match on when you're in town or alternatively, take a Murrayfield Stadium tour.
St Andrews Square
St Andrew Square is a huge city square which makes up the Edinburgh New Town. Although the square itself isn't full of character, from the square you can see how organised the UNESCO Edinburgh New Town is. Additionally, it's surrounded by unique buildings, shops and restaurants. Lastly, Edinburgh bus station is adjacent to the square if you're arriving or leaving by bus.
Braid Apartments – New Town Edinburgh
I stayed in the UNESCO New Town in Edinburgh. The Braid Apartments by Mansley are located in a stunning Georgian building. To stay in such a grand building was an experience in itself. What's more, my apartment included a fully equipped kitchen and washing machine. Read about my experience in the Braid serviced apartments Edinburgh by Mansley.
Hearts FC
Edinburgh is home to the Heart of Midlothian football club. Hearts FC play in the Gorgie district of Edinburgh at Tynecastle Park. To experience a Scottish Premiership match is a once in a lifetime experience. I recommend you check the Hearts fixtures to see if they're playing when you're in town. Alternatively, you could also take a stadium and museum tour. Read about my Hearts FC matchday experience at Tynecastle Park.
I mentioned Hearts FC and their city rivals are Hibernian FC. Hibernian play closer to the center of Edinburgh at Easter Road. If there is no Hearts game on, why not check if Hibs are playing?
Greyfriars Kirkyard is the graveyard of Greyfriars Kirk. Many famous Scots have been buried here and historians will appreciate a walk past their graves. However, I'm going to mention the graves which inspired Harry Potter characters. On a walk through Greyfriars Kirk you'll pass the graves of the following;
Thomas Riddell – Birth name of Lord Voldemort
William McGonagall – Professor Minerva McGonagall (inspiration for surname)
Elizabeth Moodie – Mad Eye Moody
Could these be the graves which inspired these Harry Potter characters? JK Rowling did write the series in a coffee shop nearby.
Greyfriars Bobby – Top Selfie Spot
Firstly, John Gray was an Edinburgh policeman and Bobby was his dog. When John Gray died he was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard. Bobby spent the remainder of his years sat on John's' grave. Finally, as well as the Bobby statue outside Greyfriars Kirkyard, you can also find the John Gray grave inside.
Museum of Edinburgh – Top Edinburgh Instagram Spot
The museum of Edinburgh is in the 16th century Huntly House. Today, this historic building has been painted yellow, as a result it's a top Edinburgh Instagram spot. Additionally, entry to the museum is free. An interesting artefact inside is the original dog collar of Greyfriars Bobby.
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art
The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art is housed in 2 historic buildings. Art lovers will be in their element viewing the over 6000 pieces on display. For the latest exhibitions visit the official Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art website. Lastly, entry to both buildings, known as Modern 1 and Modern 2 is free.
On the outskirts of Edinburgh New Town is Dean Village. The Water of Leith is the main river which flows through Edinburgh and it passes through Dean Village. As a result the splendid architecture of Dean Village reflects perfectly in it. For this reason, this is a top Edinburgh Instagram spot. Additionally, there's a path running along the banks of the Leith which offer further beautiful views.
The 5 star Balmoral Hotel is an Edinburgh landmark in itself. Famous for its clock tower, it also boasts a regal interior. Book your room at the Balmoral Hotel.
Vennel Viewpoint – Top Edinburgh Instagram Spot
One of the best views of Edinburgh Castle is from the Vennel Viewpoint. Not only do you see Edinburgh Castle from a unique angle but you also bring a historic vennel into the frame. As a result, the Vennel Viewpoint is a top Edinburgh Instagram spot.
Adjacent to Princes Street are the Princes Street Gardens. Not only do the gardens offer excellent viewpoints of Edinburgh Castle but there are a few Edinburgh landmarks located within it. Other monuments in the park include both the Ross Fountain and Wojtek the Bear.
Michelin Star Edinburgh – Taisteal Restaurant
When you visit Edinburgh it's important you choose a good restaurant. A fairly priced Michelin star restaurant I can recommend is Taisteal. Moreover, the Taisteal Restaurant is close to Edinburgh Royal Botanic Garden which also makes an excellent addition to your Edinburgh itinerary.
Museum on the Mound
The Museum on the Mound is located in the grand former building of the Royal Bank of Scotland. Today, it's a museum on the history of money. Check the Museum on the Mound official site to view the latest exhibitions. Lastly, entry is free.
JK Rowling wrote the majority of the Harry Potter books at the Elephant House. It's very close to the Royal Mile therefore you must visit. It is said that JK Rowling would enjoy coffee and cake whilst writing in the cafe. Finally, due to the popularity of Harry Potter, it's highly likely there'll be lots of people photographing the building. Why not enjoy a little coffee and cake yourself in the cafe?
George Heriot's School
George Heriot's School is visible from Edinburgh Castle. As it's a school you cannot visit. However, it certainly lets you know where JK Rowling gained inspiration for her Harry Potter stories!
Enjoy your trip to Edinburgh
There's quite a lot to see in Edinburgh therefore you must prioritise your favorite Edinburgh landmarks. If you wish to see absolutely everything in the city then you must stay for at least 5 days. Enjoy!

Home 9 General 9 Cinnpie responds to Puppeh allegations, threatens lawsuits
Cinnpie responds to Puppeh allegations, threatens lawsuits
by Olivia Richman | May 2, 2021
More than a year after Cinnamon "Cinnpie" Dunson was accused of grooming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate pro Troy "Puppeh" Wells, Cinnpie has finally addressed the situation. And the Smash community has voiced frustration with her response.
Puppeh accused Cinnpie of grooming him while he was a minor in 2016. Puppeh posted a TwitLonger in 2020 during the #MeToo movement that outlined his experience with the then 23-year-old Cinnpie. Puppeh was 14 when Cinnpie started flirting with him and sending sexual messages to him on Snapchat and Facebook. They ended up engaging in sexual acts together. But Puppeh became distressed when Cinnpie ignored him in public, including at Smash events. He eventually broke down and told his story, sick of keeping his feelings to himself.
The Smash community responded by shunning Cinnpie. She was banned from tournaments and labeled a predator. Since then, Cinnpie stayed silent. But now she has finally answered the accustions publicly.
Cinnpie responds to Smash community after Puppeh accusations
Cinnpie decided to respond to the situation a year later via Twitter. But what she had to say shocked the Smash community and only furthered many community members' dislike of the former commentator.
"I have never in my life raped anyone. I'm not a pedophile. And I never forced another person in a sexual or romantic relationship with me in any way," Cinnpie said.
It was immediately noted that Cinnpie never apologized or addressed the specific allegations.

— Cinnamon (@Cinnpie) May 1, 2021
Cinnpie called herself an "immature" and "inappropriate" 23-year-old. But she seemed to be talking about an entirely separate situation in which she implied that a 40-year-old predator in the Smash community took advantage of her while she was intoxicated. Cinnpie wrote that she "didn't deserve any of it," something she realized after therapy.
But the Smash community didn't appear to feel too bad for Cinnpie despite her latest revalation. Instead, many felt she was blaming her actions on someone else rather than taking responsibility for her behavior with Puppeh.
For now, Cinnpie says that she will continue going to therapy. She has asked the Smash community to stop telling her to "kill herself" in the meantime. She claimed she couldn't say much more due to her lawyer's advice.
Cinnpie threatens to sue after Puppeh allegations
Cinnpie also included with her message a second document that came from an attorney's office. In the document, it is stated that Cinpie has received a series of "unwarranted and defamatory attacks against her character and reputation." According to the attorney, the comments online about Cinnpie have "damaged her reputation and adversely affected her life." The document then stated that the comments must cease and desist immediately.
"Please note that this law firm does not attempt to restrict legitimate free speech, and we believe the internet is an important medium for dissemination of accurate and truthful information and for fair comment on issues of interest," attorney Diallo K. Morris stated. "However, the defamatory comments unlawfully encroach upon our client's rights."
The document then stated that Cinnpie will have to pursue legal action to "protect her interests" if comments continue.
Some in the Smash community have taken the opportunity to further mock Cinnpie, this time for threatening to sue people for "defaming" her. A number of Twitter users responded to the threat by sharing clips of her seemingly touching Puppeh inappropriately at live events.

Indigenous Ship Bound Terminal tracks PSLV-C38 Trajectory Successfully
ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC), Bengaluru is entrusted with the major responsibility to provide tracking support for all the satellite and launch vehicle missions of ISRO. ISTRAC has also been mandated to provide space operations support for Deep Space Missions of ISRO. For supporting Deep Space Missions, a large number of ground stations are required to provide Telemetry Tracking and Command (TTC) support during the launch and initial phase. Based on the launch vehicle trajectory and visibility requirement, many a time, the TTC stations are to be located in mid sea, wherein, conventional Ground Station Antenna will not be suitable. In order to cater to these specific requirements, ISTRAC has designed and developed a 4.6 meter Ship Borne Transportable (SBT) Antenna Terminal that meets the launch vehicle TTC requirements.
The SBT Antenna system consists of 3-axis Antenna Mount, a Motion Simulator, Reflector & Feed, Servo Control Systems and RF Electronics. Mechanical Systems Area (MSA) of ISTRAC made a detailed study of the technical requirements, availability of similar systems internationally and derived state-of-the-art specifications. The major design challenges in this system are: Development of a 3-axis antenna mount to compensate for the pitch, roll and yaw disturbances of the ship during tracking of the launch vehicle; Design and develop a motion simulator to simulate the base disturbances experienced by the ship during sea state condition; Flexibility for change over from S-Band TTC station to X-Band TTC station with minimum hardware changes; Packaging the entire system within in the standard ISO container is a very important requirement towards shipping to other countries; and Redundancy in drive systems.
The final system performance and validation was carried out by a sea trial, wherein, the Antenna system was integrated on SAGAR MANJUSHA Ship hired from National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT). The ship was stationed at a specified observation point in Bay of Bengal and has successfully tracked PSLV-C38 launch vehicle from predicted Acquisition Of Signal (AOS) time (T+60sec) to Loss Of Signal (LOS) time (T+596sec) in auto track mode. The quality of the data acquired was as per the prediction.
The Antenna system was realised with the participation of Indian Industries and has been tested and validated on a motion simulator. ISRO has built this 4.6 meter Ship Borne Antenna System indigenously, fulfilling all the specifications and has established in-house capability for meeting future requirements. It also improved the operational reliability due to in-house know-how of the system engineering, besides reducing the cost considerably.

The painful EU-Russia summit in Rome
Berlusconi's gaffe and Putin's evasion characterized a summit based on pretence, argues Michael Emerson
November 12, 2003	5:00 pm
THOSE who have read the communiqué and transcript of the press conference of the latest EU-Russia summit in Rome on 6 November may not be sure whether to laugh or cry.
Those who prefer the former may recall the old Soviet joke, in which the worker says "we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us". In Rome, the EU pretended to be constructing a set of common European policy spaces with Russia, and Russia pretended to be converging on common European values.
Silvio Berlusconi, in his capacity as president of the EU, also contributed jokes. He appointed himself as Russian President Vladimir Putin's 'unrequested attorney' to defend his client against attacks in the media over Chechnya and Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the former boss of oil company Yukos who is being held on fraud charges, which many suspect are politically motivated. Berlusconi warned Putin that he would bill him for his services, at the rate of one euro. Putin said that he was willing to pay.
Berlusconi was also laughable when he unwisely chose to take up the Moldova-Transdniestria question, about which he obviously knew nothing, rather than leaving it to Romano Prodi, Javier Solana or Chris Patten who know exactly what is at stake there. Berlusconi said that the current "governors and rulers of Moldova…feel that this arsenal [of 1,500 Russian troops and much stored weaponry] should not be removed from their territory". Of course the Moldova government does not want Russian troops removed from its secessionist territory of Transdniestria, whose rotten regime is being effectively protected by Russia.
Those who find all this no joke at all can turn to the summit communiqué, which identifies no less than four common European policy spaces.
So what are they, and are they interesting?
The Common European Economic Space (CEES) was originally announced two years ago. This summit was set as the deadline for adopting a 'concept'. It sounds from the name that this should be something of great interest to the business community and economists.
The concept paper defines the CEES as "an open and integrated market between the EU and Russia, based on the implementation of common or compatible rules and regulations, including compatible administrative practices, as a basis for synergies and economies of scale associated with a higher degree of competition in bigger markets".
This will focus on four main areas of economic activity: trade in goods, trade in services, establishment and operation of companies and relevant aspects of the movement of persons.
There is nothing precise or binding in this. The businessman has no new information for his planning, and the economist has no new parameters for his calculations. While the paper states that the CEES will be broader and deeper than theWorld Trade Organization (WTO) or the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement provisions, the text does not say how, nor even mention the idea of free trade. And Russia is still not in the WTO.
Second, the common space of freedom, security and justice is about people-to-people contacts, and cooperation against organized crime. There is work under way looking at the conditions for visa-free travel as a long-term perspective and, for the short-run, the 'existing flexibilities' within the Schengen system. For the EU, a readmission agreement with Russia is one essential condition. We also learn that Russia signed an agreement with Europol, the European law enforcement agency. So this second space looks much fresher than the vague litany on the economic space.
Third, the common space of external security looks forward to the EU and Russia being "partners in security, crisis- management and international relations". There is a further annex resolving strengthened dialogue. But there are no joint actions. It is here that Berlusconi's gaffe over Moldova is so painful. If the EU and Russia cannot resolve the mega- issues of Afghanistan and Iraq, they could at least cooperate towards conflict resolution in the overlapping 'near abroads' of the wider Europe, notably in Moldova and the southern Caucasus. But here, Putin is being evasive. The EU could contribute decisively, yet cooperatively with Russia, to settle the Transdniestria affair and help a reunified Moldova hitch on to the south-east European integration train. The forthcoming foreign ministers' meeting, to be hosted by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) at Maastricht on 1-2 December, should mark a step along this path, which the Dutch OSCE presidency will try to prepare.
Fourth and finally, there is to be a common space of research, education and culture. This is excellent, as long as it acquires a critical mass. The summit welcomed Russia's accession to the Bologna process, which is a Council of Europe initiative in this area.
But the irony here is that the Council of Europe's existence is not mentioned, and moreover there is the conspicuous absence of commitment to a fifth common space of democracy and human rights, which should be the most important of all.
When the EU looks for Russia to transform itself as far as possible in line with European norms, this means transparency, reliability and predictability in the functioning law-based democracy. Of course, it is here that Putin is doing the reverse in the Khodorkovsky affair.
Berlusconi's final act this year should be to wind up the intergovernmental conference, which should at last scrap the European Council's six-monthly rotating presidency, and which has been producing such erratic and egocentric performances. Thank God at least for that.

General Daily Predictions: Today the Moon from Sagittarius will form a triangle with Mars in Leo, then a square with Chiron in Pisces and then a triangle with Uranus in Aries. Then it will enter Capricorn and from there it will form a triangle with the retrograde Mercury in Virgo, and a few hours later Mercury will return in Leo. By doing so a constant weak conjunction between Mercury and Mars starts to act.
The two planets will perfectly conjunct each other twice in the near future. Once on the 3rd of September in Leo, while Mercury will still be in retrograde motion, and once on the 16th of September in Virgo, when Mercury will be in direct motion. This odd, or oddly long lasting, conjunction will start fading away on the 21st of September, but it will still be, slightly, active during the Autumn Equinox on the 22nd of the month.
During this conjunction our thoughts become clear and our thinking progress fast and energised. We become more determined to act upon our thoughts and win against our blocks and problems. When this aspect is influenced negatively we may feel a little more aggressive and offensive, but when there is no negative influence this energy is expressed as a will and inspiration to win and to come on top of the situations. Athletes, students, and whoever works mentally will enjoy the benefits of this aspect even more. Today, Moon favours and highlights this aspect all day long, so we'll have a good taste of it.
Leo by far will be the luckiest zodiac of the day. Then Aries, Sagittarius, and Virgo. Pisces will be the most stressed one and then Aquarius and probably Gemini and Libra.
A mostly good and happy day. Your love life is somewhat fired up in a good way too. For those seeking a relationship, an interesting conversation may turn to an unexpectedly hot relationship. Your imagination is very active. This is very creative, if you use it this way. It can, though, put you off course if you overindulge in it.
Yesterday was a very powerful magical day for you. Today this will continue, and you'll probably feel even more powerful. "Instant" magic is now favoured too, at least as much as ritual magic. Home and family can play a big role in your day. Mostly in a good way. Strengthening of bonds with your important people happens.
This will probably be a very social and socially active day for you. This includes social media activity as well. Mostly a good day and a happy one. Be a little more suspicious when it comes to extremely good deals or opportunities, especially the kind of which you learn through internet. Yes, it is possible real such opportunities to come your way too today, but not everything that shines is gold.
In most cases this day will be a continuation of the good day you had yesterday. All important parts of your life progress well. Yes, love life is not lucky today, but it isn't unlucky either. So, enjoy the day and make the most of it.
Leos keep having a sensual fun and love luck. You shine brightly and infatuate others easily. This is a day to enjoy and go out where you can meet people, if you are searching for a mate, or a friend. Your dreams are somewhat important and potent, so pay attention to them.
A very very magical day for you. Work with whatever kind of magic you want to work. You can even experiment with kinds of magic you have no previous experience. Expect even miracles to happen. Other than that, family and people you consider as family play an important role in the day and a good role too.
This is a very social day for all the signs of Air, and therefore, for you too. Social media activity is included in this. You will have a good time with friends online or in actual meetings. Some minor problems may occur, though, with your other half. Try ask more questions to clarify the situation, as in some cases the problems have their routes in misconceptions.
Money is the main focus of the day. Money you earn, money you spend, money you own and money you would like to have. Organise your thoughts and priorities. Be thankful for whatever you have and earn and then try to find how you'll achieve your financial goals. A health scare is possible. Most probably though, nothing than a scare.
This is one more day of power for you. Make the best of it, as this trend declines a little by the end of the day. Express, if you will, and act, even if you don't want to, upon your dreams and life goals. Organise your thoughts and support your optimism. Things can go better than you think. Love life looks good, but for those searching for a special somebody, some "somebody"s may look better at first glance than they really are.
Earth signs today, all have their magical powers heightened, you also have them so. Intuition, telepathy and spiritual communication are your stronger points. Third Eye's activity more than the Solar Plexus' one. Home's, or other personal spaces, energy cleansing is very strong too. And, you may actually have a reason to engage in such a cleansing.
I've said it before. This is a very social day for all Air signs, so, this is a very social day for you too. Internet socialising is very favoured for you, and so is promotion through the web. The weakest point in your day will be your close friends or siblings. There may be some minor problems with them, but these problems may be unfounded in reality, so make sure there is actually a reason for concern.
Still a good day for work and career matters. Things there progress well. In some cases even more than just well. Be a little extra careful about overspending in unnecessary things you consider necessary. Of course spend on luxuries you wanted for some time and now you can buy them. These are actually wise investments of your money, spiritually speaking.
Just as yesterday, success and wish fulfilling magic is favoured today.

Far too many Americans do not have adequate access to nutritious food. There are numerous reasons for this. One of them is the existence of food deserts. Food deserts are defined as areas wherein there are no businesses which provide fresh food (i.e., grocery stores, farmers markets, or other sources of fresh food) especially produce.
Food deserts are usually found in low-income urban neighborhoods, but they are common in rural areas as well.
In large metropolitan areas, it's often difficult to get a business loan to start a small grocery store or similar business in a low-income area. Moreover, local licensing laws often make street vending, a particularly common type of food business with low startup costs, illegal or too expensive to engage in.
In rural areas, population loss and long distances to the nearest market either lead to a complete lack of grocery stores or the presence of a single one that, due to its monopoly, can charge more for its products than would otherwise be the case.
Broadly speaking, the problem has a number of solutions. Food shelves can help, especially if they network with larger providers of rescue food (good produce that would otherwise find its way into a dumpster) and are locally run. Schools can help too, by making sure that kids get enough nutritious food in their lunches.
Another option is to create special tax credits or funding sources for entrepreneurs who want to start a small shop in the neighborhood. That will bring wealth into a community as well as fill a need. Removing restrictions on street vendors, especially those who deal in fresh produce, is another excellent idea.

Technical Abstract: Soybean yields worldwide are reduced by a variety of diseases that affect plant stands, seed development, and/or seed quality, but soybean breeders, pathologists, and genomicists have made considerable progress in the identification, characterization and utilization of sources of resistance genes. Many of these genes have been introgressed from plant introductions procured from the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection. Biotechnology and innovative techniques have been used in combination with more traditional phenotype evaluation methods to investigate genetics, genomics, and mechanisms of host resistance. These advances facilitate the development of new soybean cultivars that should have broader and more durable resistance to major diseases, but continued reliance on a small number of major genes for resistance to certain pathogens is a concern. Introgression of resistance genes from unadapted germplasm sources with a reduced risk of linkage drag has become more efficient due to the identification of DNA markers tightly linked to the genes and reductions in the cost of marker-assisted selection. Advances in DNA sequencing capabilities, marker development, and in the management and accessibility of genomic data have make it possible to identify candidates for major resistance genes and have revealed fascinating and sometimes surprising insights into the structure and function of some disease resistance loci. This chapter summarizes what is currently known about resistance to some of the major diseases affecting soybean production, particularly in North America, and genes that condition resistance to those diseases.

Pin: 'pocket rocket' toasts Ferrari Challenge Europe
Mugello 13 ottobre 2022
Fuchsia pink was the dominant colour at the end of the race, extending from the Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo's livery to the T-shirts worn by the entire Scuderia Niki – Iron Lynx team. The T-shirt had been kept top secret, waiting to be displayed at Mugello to celebrate Doriane Pin's title win. The eighteen-year-old Frenchwoman is the new Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Europe champion in her second season in the Prancing Horse one-make series.
Party at Mugello. The party kicked off at the end of the season's penultimate round, held in Tuscany, ahead of it conclusion at the Finali Mondiali at Imola from 25 to 31 October. "I'm very proud to be able to wear this shirt", said Pin immediately after the podium ceremony for Race-2, in which the French driver finished third. This result mathematically clinched the 2022 title. "We won this trophy and achieved the goal we had set ourselves: I have to thank the entire team."
The 'pocket rocket'. Doriane Pin, jokingly known in her garage as 'The Pocket Rocket' because of her stature, frequently repeats the words 'team' and 'group' in her statements. "I'm proud to have picked up the baton from my teammate Michelle Gatting who won this championship in 2021". After her success in Italy, the young champion confesses: "I'll remember the Mugello weekend for life because of the win, but I admit that all the races won this year will remain in my heart. But the one at Silverstone, on a track I love, might remain the memory I treasure the most".
A golden season. As the 2022 season draws to a close, Pin is enjoying success in the Ferrari Challenge. This year saw the French driver participate in other races with Ferrari. In the FIA WEC, she debuted in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a 488 GTE in the LMGTE Am class, and in the GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS she participated in the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps at the wheel of the 488 GT3 Evo 2020. Here, on the track set in the Ardennes Forest, in partnership with Rahel Frey, Sarah Bovy and Gatting herself, she claimed a historic victory in the Gold Cup class, the first-ever GT win by a female crew. "This year, I enjoyed myself. I grew as a driver and a person", commented Pin. I'm happy to have shared this journey with the entire team".
With the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli trophy in her cabinet, Doriane looks to the future with dreams and goals to achieve. "The car I used in the one-make series helped me to improve my skills because the downforce isn't excessive, and all the competitors race with a similar car, where the individual team's set-up can't make a huge difference. My short-term goals? I want to win the Finali Mondiali at Imola".

A: You need to learn 2 things to achieve it :
1) How to access elements of Array.
You can access the array values by using the index number.
Example :
var myObj, x;
myObj = {
    "name":"John",
    "age":30,
    "cars":[ "Ford", "BMW", "Fiat" ]
};
x = myObj.cars[0];

Check it here to learn more.
2) How to access properties of Object.
You can access the object values by using dot (.) notation:
Example :
myObj = { "name":"John", "age":30, "car":null };
x = myObj.name;

Check it here to learn more.
Finally, you'll be ready to learn the usage of ng-repeat in AngularJS :

var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.controller("myCtrl", function($scope) {
  $scope.records = [
    {
      "Name" : "Alfreds Futterkiste",
      "Country" : "Germany"
    },
    {
      "Name" : "Berglunds snabbköp",
      "Country" : "Sweden"
    },
    {
      "Name" : "Centro comercial Moctezuma",
      "Country" : "Mexico"
    },
    {
      "Name" : "Ernst Handel",
      "Country" : "Austria"
    }
  ]
});

Mistletoe is a unique plant. We see its striking spheres high up in the crowns of bare winter trees. With its bony branches, dark-green foliage and shiny white berries it is the hallmark of every Christmas market.
Many associate mistletoe with Getafix's magic potion. Armed with his golden sickle, the wise druid climbs up into oak trees in order to harvest the rare oak mistletoe which gives Asterix and Obelix the supernatural strength they need to defend the integrity and freedom of their small Gaulish village and fight off the Roman occupants.
This modern myth, presented with such humour and lightness, is actually based on scientific and historical facts. Mistletoe has been an important healing plant for three thousand years.
Order as a healing force
Mistletoe is also the first medicinal plant to be used specifically against cancer. In complementary cancer care this potential of the mistletoe, discovered a hundred years ago, has been put to the test. The plant's specific healing power derives from its particular formative forces which are reflected in its spherical shape, evergreen foliage and pearly white berries. Tumours grow uncontrolled in time and space, irrespective of the healthy organ's boundaries. Mistletoe, on the other hand, adheres to a particular spatial and temporal order. Every branch has the same, very basic structure: a stem, two simple leaves and, in between, the equally simple inflorescence from which the characteristic fruit develops seven to nine months later. Blossoming and fruit-forming are much delayed, however, and only occur in the plant's second year.
Its own rhythm
Mistletoe not only develops very slowly, it also follows the rhythm of the seasons, but does this in its own way. It blossoms in the winter, long before the trees unfold the finery of their blossoms and leaves. The pollen and nectar of the male and female mistletoe are welcome nourishment for a multitude of winter-active insects and even bees. In high summer all the mistletoe organs change direction: rather than continue to give themselves to the light with an abundance of leaves they turn inward and form blossoms and seeds.
Integrity and autonomy
The plant's tendency, in the summer, to detach itself from the surrounding forces and to turn inward, increases in the winter. It even emancipates itself largely from its host tree: while the tree's life withdraws into the roots, seeking shelter in the earth, the evergreen mistletoe sits high in the bare crown of the tree, defying winter's cold and darkness.
Continuously nurtured by the light, the evergreen mistletoe reveals a tendency we usually only find in humans: the tendency to detach itself from the forces of nature and from other beings in order to meet the challenges of the world alone. This characteristic is reflected in the intentions of mistletoe therapy, which not only aims to strengthen body and soul, but also the patient's integrity and autonomy.
A rare treasure
In his Natural History, the Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder (24–79 AD) wrote that oak mistletoe, which was sought after by the druids because of its universal healing power, was difficult to find even in the Gaulish period. In 1923, the botanist Karl von Tubeuf could only document fifty locations in all of Europe, most of them in France. This natural distribution, however limited, formed the foundation for the first oak mistletoe preparations used in cancer therapy in 1927. Starting in 1949, the co-workers of the Association for Cancer Research in Arlesheim (CH) undertook extended field trips through France. As a result, the known number of common and Durmast oaks bearing the common mistletoe (Viscum album) has increased almost tenfold. As a way of replenishing these natural populations, the Association soon embarked on an ambitious project and has, for four decades now, been cultivating a few hundred mistletoe-bearing oaks on several hectares of land. When cultivating oak mistletoe for therapeutic purposes one not only needs to plan decades ahead, one also has to be prepared for all kinds of adversity. The mistletoe researchers had to learn, for instance, that certain soil properties are indispensable for mistletoe to thrive on oak trees. They also had to reassure the foresters that neighbouring mistletoe plantations would not harm beech trees or common indigenous oaks, because both are mistletoe-resistant.

Harvesting mistletoe. Replenishing natural populations with cultivated oak trees.
Dutch elm disease and climatic fluctuations pose a threat to mistletoe
Elm-grown mistletoe, used by expert physicians to treat lung cancer, for instance, is at risk. Because Dutch elm disease, which is rampant across Europe, has destroyed almost all the natural populations of elm mistletoe, this mistletoe variety, which is used in complementary cancer care, is now harvested from cultivated elm trees only.
Climatic fluctuation and imported pests can be a danger to other host trees too. Examples are ash dieback and new leaf diseases such as fungal leaf spot, which is attacking trees in Switzerland and which may, in the medium term, even endanger the harvest of apple mistletoe.
Large colonies of mistletoe in one location are seen as a problem. They are usually found on trees with low resistance to mistletoe, mostly poplars and robinias, but also lime trees and sycamores. Mistletoe also tends to spread rapidly on orchards with standard apple trees that are no longer regularly cared for.
Mistletoe cannot reproduce by itself, but needs the assistance of birds. Mistle thrush, blackcap and waxwing appreciate the slimy sugar of the mistletoe berries as winter food and spread their seeds naturally.
The influence of host trees on mistletoe
Any attempts to grow mistletoe on artificial hosts or even to clone them have failed so far. Mistletoe can only live and grow if it is permanently attached to a living host tree. Just as children, when growing in their mother's womb, depend on and are influenced by the maternal organism, mistletoe depends on water and nutrients from the host tree, and on the host tree's life forces. Mistletoe does not extract or choose its nourishment, but absorbs what streams into it from the host tree. The tree's nurturing juices have such a strong effect on the mistletoe growing on it that the constituents of mistletoe differ fundamentally depending on whether it has grown on an apple tree, oak or pine. Anthroposophic mistletoe therapy makes use of this diversity, providing a wide range of mistletoe preparations for targeting particular aspects of cancer that depend on the constitution of the individual patient.

Downtown Plymouth could get hot this Sunday with the return of the 18th annual Great Lakes Regional Chili Cookoff.
The event is sanctioned by the International Chili Society (ICS) and will feature a traditional red, green and salsa competition. Winners will advance to the 2014 ICS World Championships. There will also be a people's choice and best restaurant chili awards.
Visitors can sample chili from about 40 cooks set up in The Gathering or the 16 participating restaurants in Kellogg Park.
Ken Horn, the founder of the chili cookoff along with his wife Annette, said the event is down on entries from last year, partly because they had to move the date up.
The one-day event draws between 10,000 and 20,000 people, Horn said.
All chili proceeds raised from the event will benefit Habitat for Humanity, while proceeds from the motorcycle show will benefit the Penrickton Center for Blind Children.
According to Horn, last year raised about $21,000 for Habitat and $5,000 for Penrickton, which is half of what was raised in 2011.
"That's how much the crowd matters," Horn said.
In spite of last year's outcome and the shortage of entries, Horn is optimistic about this year.
"We're hoping to sell at least $50,000 tickets for sampling," he said.
Most of the chili samples produced for the public during the event come from the restaurants participating in the Restaurant Chili Challenge, Horn said.
Among this year's restaurants is Jeff Zak Catering who is cooking for the first time this year.
Zak said he decided to enter, in part, because of his new location in Old Village after relocating from Forest Avenue.
Zak has a secret weapon – a unique chili recipe never before used by him.
Zak said he wasn't yet sure if he would keep the chili vegetarian or turn it into a white chicken chili.
"You'll have to come and find out," he said.
Chili sampling Tickets cost $1 or $20 for 20 tickets with five voting stars to vote your favorite chili and a plastic tray holding up to 12 samples. One 20-ounce sample of chili takes one ticket, while a bowl takes four tickets. Bowls are only available from restaurants.

Former Australian captain Steve Smith has reclaimed the number 1 spot in the latest ICC Test rankings. He has toppled Indian captain Virat Kohli from the perch after Kohli was dismissed for a first-ball duck in the second innings of the Jamaica Test match. However, Kohli's India are top of the ICC Test Championship with two wins in as many games, and the captain himself overtook MS Dhoni to be India's most successful Test skipper. However, having made 76 in the first innings against West Indies, he was dismissed by Kemar Roach in the second-innings of the Jamaica Test match.
Smith was on the top spot his since December 2015. It was only in August 2018, when Smith was serving a ban for his role in the Newlands ball-tampering scandal, that Kohli overtook him on the charts, after reaching career-high rating points in the series against England.
The Australian No.4 has fought his way back up the charts in his first series back from the ban, making twin centuries in the first Test against England and 92 in the second. He now averages 63.2 in Test cricket.
Kohli's next chance to challenge Smith will be in the home Test series against South Africa, starting on 2 October.
Elsewhere on the batting charts, India's Ajinkya Rahane returned to the top 10, rising four places to No.7, after following up his half-century and hundred in Antigua with another useful half-century in Jamaica. Hanuma Vihari, described by Kohli as "the find of the series", shot up 40 places to No.30 after just six Tests.
