Needless to say, the pandemic has thrown restaurants no shortage of curveballs over the past 18 months. From constantly having to upgrade outdoor setups for the seasons to the city's changing capacity restrictions, and finally, the news that NYC will require proof of vaccination for indoor venues including bars and restaurants, our favorite spots around the city have been more nimble than ever, and we keep going back to thank them for it.
But even amid all of the hurdles the pandemic has put in front of restaurants, there are still new spots opening all over town, and the fall will bring many more. Top-notch restaurateurs and chefs are expanding their empires with swanky spots in new neighborhoods and first-time owners will debut the concepts they've been dreaming up for years, and we can't wait to check them out. While there are many upcoming restaurants that are already at the top of our to-eat list, here's a roundup of some of the openings in NYC we're most excited about.
Address: 520 and 522 Hudson Street, West Village
Opening date: September
The team behind beloved West Village restaurant, L'Artusi, is opening two brand-new concepts this fall. A new wine bar dubbed b'artusi will feature an extensive selection of wines by the glass and bottle with a focus on Italian varietals, as well as a menu of food by L'Artusi's executive chef Joe Vigorito. Right next door, Via Porta will be open for breakfast and lunch and offer a selection of housemade pastries, sandwiches, salads, snacks, and meal kits from the team at L'Artusi.
Cha Kee
Address: 43 Mott Street, Chinatown
With Cha Kee's opening in Chinatown in early September, New Yorkers will essentially get not one, but three new restaurants on one short stretch of Mott Street. Cha Kee is a two-story space with a Chinese diner upstairs led by chef Akiko Thurnauer (formerly of Ivan Ramen and Mission Chinese), and a Japanese sushi and crudo bar downstairs from chef Takayuki Nakamura. The dual concept space is opening right next door to Basement, an aptly named subterranean bar also owned by Jimmy Fong and Ophelia Wu, and the duo also plans to open an izakaya-style spot on the ground floor above Basement later this fall.

Address: 109 E 22nd Street, Gramercy Park
After postponing the expansion of this London-based restaurant in March 2020, owners Will Beckett and Huw Gott are finally ready to introduce New Yorkers to Hawksmoor. The expansive space in the historic United Charities Building is expected to hold 180 guests in the dining room and 50 at a massive bar. Hawksmoor's first location in the states will follow suit with the rest of the chain with a menu of premium steaks, seafood, and bar snacks like cheeseburgers and triple-fried french fries.

Address: 518 W 27th Street, Chelsea
Pronounced "home," this 120-seat restaurant opening at the Selina Hotel Chelsea aims to serve as a gathering place for comforting Mesoamerican fare. The kitchen will be run by chef Byron Peñafiel (formerly of La Bilboquet and Rotisserie Georgette) and he plans to offer a slate of small and large plates for sharing inspired by the region that stretches from the Yucatan to El Salvador to Costa Rica. Rather than bread service, every meal starts with hot, crispy patacones (deep fried plantains) with a chili salt and mango chutney, and additional dishes include guava-glazed chicken, pupusas, and charred octopus with jalapeño hummus. Drinks will come courtesy of Daniel Bedoya (formerly of Lumo's, a now-closed bar focused on the Chinese spirit baijiu) and will feature ingredients like strawberry vermouth and Guayusa-infused vodka.
Address: 1 Rockefeller Plaza
Chef Ignacio Mattos, owner of estela and Altro Paradiso, is set to open an all-day cafe, bakery, and bar at Rockefeller Center. With Lodi, Mattos is aiming to create a space based on Italian aperitivo culture where guests can visit any time of day, from morning coffees or afternoon cocktails.
Address: 350 11th Avenue, Hudson Yards
Opening date: Mid-September
Cobi Levy and Will Makris, the pair that transformed famed Lucali into a Carroll Gardens slice shop called Baby Luc's earlier this year, will open an outdoor-only restaurant in Hudson Yards this fall. Jibs will be helmed by chef David Ladner, who has worked at top-notch seaside restaurants like Newport's Spiced Pear, and his menu will cover full lobster bakes with all the fixings, lobster rolls, P.E.I. mussels, and more seafood shack favorites that the chef plans to dial up a notch. Located in Hudson Yards, the restaurant will have ample outdoor seating and sweeping views of the river.

Kaiseki Room by Yamada
Address: 145 West 53rd Street at 6 ½ Avenue, Midtown
Opening date: Mid- to late-September
Renowned chef Isao Yamada (formerly of Tribeca's Brushbroke) is opening an 18-seat kaiseki restaurant that will operate as the sister spot to the West Village's subterranean Omakase Room by Mitsu. Yamada is currently the only chef in NYC who has trained at an authentic kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto—which offers the highest caliber Japanese food through multiple elaborate courses—and he will take that experience to Kaiseki Room by Yamada for an ever-evolving, 11-course tasting menu with high-end touches and seasonal ingredients.

Address: 113 Mulberry Street, Little Italy
Mulberry Street's only slice shop is expanding to offer a little bit more. Roman Grandinetti (of the Lower East Side sandwich shop, Regina's Grocery) and partners Nima Garos and Koorosh Bakhtiar (who operate Gelso & Grand, Galioto's, and Jajaja) are teaming up to expand the space into a full-service red sauce joint inspired by the Italian-American neighborhood and the family recipes Grandinetti ate growing up in Brooklyn. Expect dishes like classic meatballs, a rotation of calzones, and Mozzarella en Carrozza, a fried cheese sandwich with mozzarella cheese coated in bread crumbs.
Address: 113 Franklin Street, Greenpoint
This airy, elegant space within the historic Pencil Factory building will soon be Greenpoint's go-to spot when Sereneco takes over in September. The restaurant is designed to be an elevated neighborhood gathering place with 70 seats inside and a 25-seat sidewalk cafe. The eatery will be open all throughout the day with an all-day menu available from 9 am to 3 pm, dinner service, and weekend brunch, along with a takeout window for grabbing sandwiches, salads, and sides on the go. Executive chef Dennis Hong will take his experience from places like Le Bernardin to create dishes that rely on high-quality seasonal ingredients like a pork chop paired with focaccia panzanella salad and polenta fresca with local corn, smoked mozzarella, and thyme. The restaurant is also leaning in to the neighborhood vibe in the beverage department, where Bushwick's Spectrum Coffees; tea from In Pursuit of Tea, Matchaful, and Dona; and kombucha courtesy of Greenpoint neighbor, Mombucha, will be available alongside cocktails, local draft beer, and organic wine.
Nami Nori
Address: 236 North 12th Street, Williamsburg
Opening: Early fall
After a lauded debut about two years ago in the West Village, Nami Nori is headed to Brooklyn. Owners Taka Sakaeda, Jihan Lee, and Lisa Limb—who previously worked together at Masa in Tribeca, which offers omakase with a price tag well into the triple digits—will continue to offer affordable temaki hand rolls the spot has become known for, as well as fresh sashimi, crispy rice dishes, and an extended bar program, including a sake bar, at the new location.
Address: 127 E 27th Street, NoMad
Known for his time at Betony and Eleven Madison Park, executive chef Bryce Shuman is opening two new concepts within the Park Hotel South in NoMad this fall. The first of which will be Sweetbriar, a restaurant that will focus on live fire cooking with wood and charcoal, seasonal vegetables, and prime meats. Later in the fall, look out for a yet-to-be-named Japanese-inspired restaurant to open up at the hotel as well in the former O Ya space.
Address: 85 Manhattan West Plaza, Chelsea
From the team behind favorites like Don Angie and Smith & Wollensky, Zou Zou's is a lively Eastern Mediterranean restaurant by chef Madeline Sperling and Juliana Latif, who met working in the kitchen at The Nomad. The duo will serve up a menu that celebrates the flavors of the Mediterranean region, including Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and others, through dishes like spreads and fresh-baked flatbreads; cured local fluke with z'houg and pickled radishes; and a lamb tartare with merguez spices, bulgur, and mint. The menu will also feature an entire section dedicated to dishes prepared on the restaurant's open hearth like lobster tagine, smoked cherry lamb chops, and duck borek.
Address: 818 Franklin Avenue, Crown Heights
Opening date: October
The young chef who worked his way up from line cook to executive chef at The Eddy by the age of 24 will soon open his own spot in Crown Heights. Jeremy Salamon's first solo venture, dubbed Agi's Counter, will be an all-day cafe with Jewish and Eastern European fare inspired by the chef's grandmother. The cafe's main menu will feature dishes like leberkase (pork pate) with roasted apricot jam and fried egg on a soft potato bun; and palacsinta, which are rolled crepes with fresh cheese, brown butter, and toasted caraway. The spot will also offer ready-to-take pastries, a selection of Hungarian and Austrian wines, and specialty cakes, challah, and shabbat dinner packages.
Address: 458 West 17 Street, Chelsea
The team from the Upper East Side's Sushi Noz is headed downtown to open what will perhaps be NYC's most exclusive restaurant. With just seven seats, this Edomae-style sushi bar will offer 20- to 25-course tastings of nigiri and other small bites by chef Junichi Matsuzaki, who currently oversees The Ash Room at Sushi Noz. The meal will run at $395 per person before beverages and tax.
Masalawala
Address: 365 Fifth Avenue, Park Slope
Opening date: November
Restaurateur Roni Mazumdar and chef Chintan Pandya are a winning duo.

Google parent Alphabet may soon top Apple�s market value

Google parent Alphabet may soon top Apple's market value
San Francisco, January 29
As the digital advertising market booms and demand for smartphones wanes, Alphabet Inc could soon dethrone Apple as the world's most valuable company.
If it happens, Alphabet will move to the head of the class just five months after Google reorganised itself under the holding company.
The Silicon Valley rivals could trade places as early as today, given how rapidly financial gap between them is narrowing. At end of trading on Thursday, Apple's market value stood at $522 billion; Alphabet was worth $515 billion.
That's a dramatic swing from where things stood just 13 months ago. Apple then boasted a market value of $643 billion, almost twice Google's $361 billion.
Since then, investors have soured on Apple Inc. The company has struggled to come up with another trend-setting product amid slumping sales of its most important device — the nearly nine-year-old iPhone, which accounts for roughly two-thirds of Apple's overall sales.
Apple has already acknowledged the iPhone will begin this year with its first quarterly sales decline since it debuted in 2007. The slowdown helped push down Apple's stock price by 15 per cent since the end of 2014.
In contrast, Google has maintained its leadership in lucrative internet search and ad market while building other popular products in video, mobile, web browsing, email and mapping. That bundle of Google services brings in most of Alphabet's revenue, and is expected to deliver growth in 15 per cent to 20 per cent range as marketers shift even more of their budgets to digital services.
Alphabet also has impressed investors by reining in its spending. Google hired a Wall Street veteran, Ruth Porat, as its chief financial officer last May.
In addition to reversing a long expansion of Google's operating expenses, Porat also persuaded Alphabet's board to spend $5 billion buying back its own stock. That move signalled a more shareholder- friendly approach.

I have been told to do a banishing spell with a black candle. I purchased a Yankee candle which is as near to black as I could get, it is supposed to burn for 6.5 days approx. I lit it just over 48 hours ago. It burned well until last night. It has started to soot, send puffs of smoke and the flame keeps dancing sometimes so low like it's gonna go out. Up until last night it had burned all the wax, but then gas started to leave a ring of deposit around the edge of the jar. Before lighting it, I inscribed the name of the spirit I want to banish, into the top of the candle with a metal sterile hypodermic needle (I'm a nurse!). I have left the candle burning constantly but feel very uncomfortable with leaving it on 24hrs a day. Am I doing something wrong or is the spirit not wanting to leave?
Hi Kate, I am going to answer your question in a minute but first I would like to use your letter as an example of what to do and not to do. This is in no way any means to offend or embarrass you, but it is a prime example of someone who is doing candle work without fully being informed about things.
Before I start, let me lead into this blog post with a conversation I had about 4 months or so with a major manufacturer of spiritual supplies. I had forwarded to them a couple of e-mails that I had received asking me on how to use THEIR Candle Spell Kit, of which I had never used. I told them that I did not feel qualified to further explain the instructions in the package, but perhaps this was a friendly "heads up" to rewrite the copy for the everyday Jack or Jill to read. They responded that they get the same thing – they had recently gotten a call (no less!) from someone who bought "Chango Powder" and wanted to know how to use it. They told the caller to call the place they bought it at and the answer was that the place was no longer in business (maybe the caller had the product for some time before attempting to use it?).
So you can see that spiritual workers and readers get questions about other spiritual workers spells all the time. We cannot always determine what was the other spiritual worker thinking when they prescribed that candle or magical practice, but we do our best. It is best ,dear readers, to go back to the person that prescribed the candle spell for clarification and questions.
Any Black Candle Spell will always give the house a heavy atmosphere.
This may not just be because of the Spirit you are talking about is hanging around. Black Candle Spells of any nature or for any reason is for cursing, damnation, revenge, reversing, D.U.M.E., take this you little %$(%$#), or any other type of candle spell where the outcome isn't going to be good for the person. The atmosphere is FUNKY, DEPRESSING and just plain YUUUUCK!
Now, ironically, I am wondering why this other spiritual worker suggested a black candle. Most traditions use a white candle to tell the Spirit to "follow the Light" (like the movie 'Poltergeist'). Some Spirits are trapped in the building (like if it was a tragic death) or if the Spirit doesn't 'know' that the body is dead, and they are waiting for it to 'come back' so that they can re-enter the body. Some Spirits are young, so therefore you will have mischief in the building, and some Spirit are just plain a**ed pi**ed off because they didn't get to live out their life. In my spiritual tradition, I would have used a white candle with some Healing or Blessing Condition Oil to soothe the anger and depression and ask the Spirit to move on (go home, go to Heaven, etc.). I am not an expert on Spirits per se (like a Ghost Buster) but I work with them once in awhile. The thought here is to Bless the Spirit, Forgive the Spirit and Ask the Spirit to move on to a better place. That is why a white candle is used.
So here we are, burning a candle that is a 'Yankee candle which is as near to black as I could get, it is supposed to burn for 6.5 days approx." .
I would ask you what is 'near to black' as I usually see Yankee candles in black during Halloween with a licorice scent. So, for sake of article, we will call it a black candle. In my work, I tell clients and also leave candles burning 24 hours because it is truly a constant reminder (prayer, petition) of the work that is going on for you. Your candle burned all the way down and you should take the candle glass back to the spiritual worker (if you can) and ask for the divination. You provided no photos for us to look at and if I could take a shot at candle divination.
Tough call, tough questions – any chance on contacting that other spiritual worker?

Uttarakhand: Pushkar Singh Dhami takes oath as chief minister
1 min read . Updated: 23 Mar 2022, 02:44 PM IST Livemint
Dhami had lost to Congress candidate Bhuwan Chandra Kapri from Khatima by a margin of 6,579 votes in the state polls (ANI)
Dhami was elected leader of the BJP legislature party in Uttarakhand on Monday, paving the way for his taking over the reins of the state for a second time
Bharatiya Janata Party's Pushkar Singh Dhami took oath as the chief minister of Uttarakhand on Wednesday in Dehradun.
He was elected leader of the BJP legislature party in Uttarakhand on Monday, paving the way for his taking over the reins of the state for a second time.
Dhami, who lost from the Khatima assembly constituency in Uttarakhand, led the party's poll campaign in the state as chief minister during the assembly polls held last month.
The results were announced on 10 March and there was speculation if he would be the CM for a second time.
However, a section of BJP leaders credited Dhami for the party's big win, bagging 47 out of 70 assembly seats, and wanted him to be the chief minister again so that he gets a full five-year term.
Several names, including former Union minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank', Union minister of state for defence Ajay Bhatt, Rajya Sabha member Anil Baluni, MLA Dhan Singh Rawat and Uttarakhand tourism minister Satpal Maharaj, were doing the rounds as possible choices for the CM post.
Dhami had lost to Congress candidate Bhuwan Chandra Kapri from Khatima by a margin of 6,579 votes in the state polls. He got a total of 41,598 votes with a vote share of 44.8% against Kapri who got 48,177 with 51.89% votes. He had won twice from the seat.
The son of an ex-serviceman, Dhami was born in 1975 in Kanalichhina village in Pithoragarh district. He had also been with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), besides being a member of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).

Dhami served as the president of the BJP Yuva Morcha in Uttarakhand twice between 2002 and 2008. He is believed to be a protege of former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Bhagat Singh Koshyari.
Dhami will be the 13th chief minister of the hilly state. He belongs to the Kumaun region. The last two CMs before him were from the Garhwal region.

"Leveraging its expertise in core engineering services, digital transformation capabilities, and Rolls-Royce product knowledge acquired through the partnership, Infosys will provide a full range of high-end engineering and R&D services integrated with advanced digital service to Rolls-Royce," it added.
Kishore Jayaraman, president of Rolls-Royce India & South Asia, said India has grown to become a key contributor to the Rolls-Royce global engineering ecosystem, delivering high levels of technical capability to support a broad range of complex business demands.
"Our vision is to continue this high capability engineering work in India, in partnership with Infosys.
"Infosys has been a valued partner to Rolls-Royce for many years, and we now look forward to building on this strategic partnership to secure the full range of our engineering capabilities here, while ensuring future growth potential for our engineering talent," he added.
Jayaraman said the company is committed to India and remains positive about the long-term prospects in this market.
"We have always believed it is important to integrate the physical knowledge of a product with digital capabilities like Industry 4.0, additive manufacturing, and predictive analytics.
"The Rolls-Royce engineering team at Bengaluru has been at the forefront of these innovations, and we are delighted to welcome them to Infosys," Jasmeet Singh, executive vice president and global head of manufacturing at Infosys, said.
He said the company has had a "long and fruitful association" with Rolls-Royce and expressed confidence that the "talent will be a great addition to Infosys' deep experience in turbomachinery".

Freud's Favorite Paranoiac
Phyllis Grosskurth
Schreber: Father and Son
by Han Israëls
International Universities Press, 376 pp., $50.00
"Psycho-analytical Notes on an Auto-biographical Account of a Case of Paranoia" (1911) was Freud's interpretation of the case of Paul Schreber, a psychotic nineteenth-century German judge. Freud was so stimulated by his story that he described the subject as "the wonderful Schreber," but in fact it has undoubtedly engendered more controversy than any of his case studies.
Paul Schreber was born in Leipzig in 1842. He was the third of five children whose childhood was spent largely within an orthopedic clinic owned and run by his father, Moritz Schreber (1808–1861). As a young man Paul Schreber studied law and seemed destined for a successful career in the judiciary. He married at the relatively late age of thirty-five and had no children. At forty-two he stood as a candidate for the Reichstag. He lost the election, and soon after this rejection he began to suffer from a number of severe hypochondriacal complaints, believing for example that his body was falling apart. After spending some months in a psychiatric clinic, he was released, apparently cured. Nine years later, after accepting a senior legal position, he again entered a psychiatric clinic.
By now he was in the grip of delusions: he was terrified that he was being persecuted by supernatural powers and had hallucinations that he was turning into a woman. Within a few years, despite the opinion of his doctors to the contrary, he believed that he had recovered sufficiently to live a normal life. As an experienced lawyer he knew how to take action to secure his release and he submitted an account of his mental illness as part of his case for being discharged. The authorities gave him his freedom, which lasted for four years until he was again admitted to a hospital, where he died in 1911.
In 1910 Carl Jung drew Freud's attention to Schreber's extraordinary auto-biography (published in 1903) as an intriguing case study of schizophrenia, or dementia praecox as it was then generally known. Jung had been treating many such cases, in contrast to Freud, who had never actually encountered a disorder of this kind in his practice.
The same year Freud had published his monograph on Leonardo da Vinci in which he depicted the painter as a relatively "normal" homosexual who had sublimated his erotic leanings into artistic creation and scientific investigation. Most of Freud's knowledge of Leonardo derived from a Russian novel by D.S. Merezhkovsky, and Freud has subsequently been criticized for making elaborate conjectures without any solid knowledge of Leonardo himself or of the cultural assumptions of his time.
While the Leonardo essay was still in galley proof Freud read Schreber's Denkwürdigkeiten (Memoirs of My Nervous Illness) and found in it material that seemed to substantiate his own theory of psychosis. Schreber described the two breakdowns he had suffered, and he had much to say about the symptoms and delusions that led to his stay in a mental clinic during 1884 and 1885, and to a more serious episode lasting from 1893 to 1902. His long, eerily logical apologia pro vita sua is primarily a description of his special relationship to God. How his delusions enabled him to be judged sane enough to be discharged is puzzling. More mystifying still is that Freud could consider him relatively cured.
Veering between the lucidity of self-understanding and a distorted perception of a bizarre cosmogony, Schreber describes a new vision of the world vouch-safed to him by God. Freud was particularly fascinated by what he took to be Schreber's repressed homosexual feelings toward his father. Jung said he was troubled by what he considered the reductive quality of Freud's attempt to explain psychosis as a matter of repressed sexuality; and the case was the occasion for a significant theoretical disagreement between them.
Freud admits in his essay that not nearly enough was known about Schreber. Schreber attributed his "nervous disorders" to episodes of mental overstrain, the first occurring after he had been defeated as a candidate for the Reichstag, the second after he was appointed to a high post at the Dresden Superior State Court.
Between his two breakdowns he began to have dreams about the pleasure a woman must experience in submitting to the act of copulation. During his second stay in the clinic he hallucinated that his body was decomposing, and that his sufferings were inflicted for some divine purpose. His principal tormentor was his former doctor, Paul Emilo Flechsig, whom he described as a "soul murderer." In Freud's view, the patient feared sexual abuse at the hands of his doctor. As time passed Schreber came to believe that he was gradually developing into a woman. Since he had also been singled out as the object of divine miracles, he was, he believed, undoubtedly the most remarkable human being who had ever lived. Freud points out that while the fantasy of being a Redeemer is a familiar feature of religious paranoia, the belief that one is being transformed into a woman is unusual.
In the early days of his illness Schreber had felt confused about the role of God in the monstrous plot against him, but gradually he realized, he said, that God himself had been an accomplice—if not the instigator—in a conspiracy whereby his body was to be used "like that of a strumpet." Once Schreber had accepted "the Order of Things," he was, he said, able to surrender to feelings and fantasies of voluptuous sensuality.
Schreber stresses that before the onset of his illness he had been a doubter in religious matters but had always adhered to a rigid moral code: "Few people have been brought up according to such strict moral principles as I, and have throughout life practiced such moderation especially in matters of sex, as I venture to claim for myself."1
Freud is intrigued by Schreber's attitude toward God. Living men are inaccessible to God, Schreber wrote, with a single exception, himself. Hence "the right of scoffing at God belongs in consequence to me alone and not to other men."2 Like a young eaglet, he could gaze directly at the sun, and so God came to know him better. Schreber's power was demonstrated when the soul of his persecutor, Dr. Flechsig, splintered into many powerless fragments, as Schreber explains in detail in the prefatory "Open Letter to Herr Geheimrat Prof. Dr. Flechsig" appended to the Memoirs.
But God, too, was divided into a "lower" and an "upper" Being. Schreber's vision of the decomposition of both Flechsig and God, Freud explains as a paranoid reaction to both the loved and hated aspects of a single person: his father. This attitude, Freud said, is reminiscent of the "reverent submission and mutinous insubordination"3 in boys toward their fathers.
But why should his relationship with his father have made Schreber mentally ill? Freud assumes that he had a repressed homosexual fixation on his father, who had died when he was nineteen. He was unable to accept his unconscious saying "I do not love him—I hate him," and could only justify this hatred by insisting that he was being persecuted by God. In other words, he "projected" his fear and anxiety into two other persons, Flechsig and God. Finally Freud concludes:
It may be suspected, however, that what enabled Schreber to reconcile himself to his homosexual phantasy, and so made it possible for his illness to terminate in something approximating to a recovery, may have been the fact that his father-complex was in the main positively toned and that in real life the later years of his relationship with an excellent father had probably been unclouded.4
What is curious about all this is that, apart from reading Paul Schreber's memoir, Freud knew nothing about Schreber's father or his relationship with his son. At the end of his paper Freud candidly admits that he had worked out a theory of paranoia before reading Schreber's book. In other words, Schreber provided him with a convenient illustration of his theory, just as Leonardo had given him material to support his view of the origins of homosexuality. Freud concluded:
It remains for the future to decide whether there is more delusion in my theory than I should like to admit, or whether there is more truth in Schreber's delusion than other people are as yet prepared to believe.5
A letter to Marie Bonaparte, written many years later, confirms that Freud was aware that Schreber suffered a final, even more severe, psychotic episode. The very wording of his conclusion presented future scholars with a challenge to dig more deeply into Schreber's background, although some assumed that it was impenetrable. It was as though they did not want other evidence to disturb the neat cogency of Freud's argument.
An exception was the American psychoanalyst, W.G. Niederland, who, in a series of papers published between 1959 and 1974, uncovered a great deal of material about Judge Schreber's father, Moritz Schreber, an orthopedist and educator, who published several books on child rearing. One of the tortures endured by the tormented Paul Schreber was a feeling that his chest was being suffocated. Niederland was convinced that there was a link between this sensation of constriction and the father's invention of the "straightener," the Geradehalter, an iron bar which prevented a child from leaning forward while writing. He also advocated that bed straps be tied over the chest to ensure that children slept on their backs. Schreber complained of feeling that his head was compressed into a vise by the supersensory voices assailing him, an experience that Niederland links to a chin strap and a head-holder that encouraged "proud bearing," since the wearer's hair was pulled if the head tended to droop. Niederland leaves no doubt that there were parallels between Schreber's particular form of insanity and his upbringing.
Subsequent commentators have been much influenced by this image of Moritz Schreber as a man with sadistic tendencies. Even though the psychoanalyst Hans Kohut had never actually read his work, he described Moritz Schreber as a man with
profoundly narcissistic and prenarcissistic…hypochondriacal tensions…a hidden psychotic system…a special kind of psychotic character structure in which reality testing remains broadly intact even though it is in the service of the psychosis of a central idée fixe. It is probably a kind of healed-over psychosis.6
The most severe indictment of all appeared in the widely read book Soul Murder (1973) by Morton Schatzman, who claimed that Niederland's findings show Dr. Schreber to be directly responsible for his son's illness. Paul Schreber's father, he argues, had taught him as a child
patterns of operating upon his experience such that later on he felt forbidden (or forbade himself) to see that his strange relation to God was a reexperience of his childhood relation to his father.7
The subtitle of Schatzman's book is Persecution in the Family, and his thesis is that authoritarian parents, by imposing their values on their children, sometimes by force, can do severe psychological damage.
After Schatzman's book, Schreber père was generally regarded by psychoanalytic commentators as a very bad man indeed. A Dutch scholar, Han Israëls, was concerned about the evidence for such a view and he has undertaken a careful investigation into the Schreber family. His book, Schreber: Father and Son, is a work of meticulous scholarship; it uncovers much new information and punctures mythologies that have long been accepted as fact.
Israëls traces two kinds of writing about Moritz Schreber. One tends to praise his work as a pedagogue and social reformer; the other sees him chiefly as the father of Paul, acting out the differing parts assigned him by Freud, Niederland, Schatzman, and other psychoanalysts. Interestingly, the two genres have managed to coexist without either impinging significantly on the other.
From 1844 on Moritz Schreber ran an orthopedic clinic in Leipzig, chiefly for children with malformations of the spine. Israëls has discovered that between 1844 and 1852 the doctor treated 252 such cases. He was actively involved in the founding of the Leipzig Turnvereinen (gymnastic clubs), and wrote a popular book on indoor gymnastics, although his other books on child rearing were not particularly successful. The image of Schreber as the Dr. Spock of nineteenth-century Germany has been circulated, Israëls contends, by "badly informed" authors. Indeed he speculates on the frustration Dr. Schreber must have suffered when his large and lavishly produced volumes were ignored by the authorities to whom he sent them. His name became widely known in German-speaking countries (particularly in East Germany) in connection with Schrebergarten, allotment gardens tilled by local citizens; but in fact, as Israëls shows, he had nothing to do with the gardens and his name was connected with them by accident.
Moritz had married the daughter of a professor of medicine, a woman somewhat above him socially. The Schrebers and their five children shared a house with the young patients undergoing treatment. But in 1851 a heavy ladder fell on Dr. Schreber's head, an incident that apparently had a dramatic effect on his life. He began to withdraw to his room for hours at a time, refusing to see his children, and during the last decades of his life his wife ran the household. Nevertheless, during this period he produced most of his books—which seems to suggest, according to Israëls, that "there were tensions of some kind which only made social relations difficult for him." (While Israëls is commendably skeptical about much of the information that has been circulated about Moritz Schreber, he never questions whether the ladder actually fell on his head, although the story might have been invented or exaggerated by the family to explain his unaccountable behavior.) Israëls finds no evidence that Schreber used his own children as guinea pigs for the "straightener" and the chin strap, although he admits the strong possibility that his children acted as models for the illustrations in their father's books.
Dr. Schreber's critics have made much of the story he told himself of an incident that illustrates his opposition to children eating between meals. A nursemaid was dismissed because she gave a piece of a pear she was eating to one of the children sitting on her lap. This incident has been used to suggest that Schreber would have torn his own children from their mother's breast.
Israëls argues, however, that people concerned to improve the world frequently fail to follow their own advice, and that in the case of Moritz Schreber there is evidence that he grew detached from his family and did not want to act as an intrusive parent. It may very well be that he was not closely involved in bringing up his son. The psychoanalysts who have commented on Schreber point out that we hear little about Frau Schreber, which seems to them to suggest that she was a passive wife and mother; and Niederland writes that she "must have been perceived by the patient as the willing and active participant in the paternal practices, manipulations, and coercive procedures."8 The indefatigable Israëls has turned up evidence, to which I will return, that she was in fact closely involved with her children.
Paul Schreber was nineteen when his father died. In 1865 he began his career in the judiciary, mainly in the kingdom of Saxony. Then in 1877 his older brother, Gustav (also a lawyer) shot himself. A year after his brother's suicide, Paul married, but the marriage was childless. Apparently he wanted to have children, but his wife suffered six miscarriages.
A few years later, in 1884, he stood as a candidate for the Imperial Diet, or Reichstag. At the time he was a presiding judge in the provincial court of Chemnitz, in what is now the town of Karl-Marx-Stadt in southern East Germany. Israëls's account of this election contains one of his major points of disagreement with psychoanalytic commentators. Schreber, he shows, was a supporter of Bismarck's conservative party, and he was soundly beaten by the local socialist. The first period of his mental disorders followed soon after. Niederland explained Schreber's reaction as arising from anxiety for having rebelled against a father-figure, namely Bismarck—an odd conclusion about a supporter of Bismarck. In his early writings on the subject, Niederland had simply assumed that Schreber was opposed to Bismarck, and even when later facts contradicted this, he continued to hold the same views. Israëls remarks wryly that "Niederland's behavior demonstrates that a psychoanalyst's hypothesis can only be 'confirmed,' never weakened or refuted, by newly discovered facts."
Paul Schreber's second, more serious, illness, between 1886 and 1893 was preceded by another period during which he experienced considerable stress. He apparently became overworked in his new post as president of the Dresden Superior State Court. Schreber began to consult Professor Flechsig, the psychiatrist who had treated him during his first illlness. After attempting to hang himself in his bedroom, he entered Flechsig's clinic as an emergency case, and soon moved to a public asylum in Sonnenstein where he spent the last years of his life. A detailed account of his delusions during his second incarceration is given in the Memoirs, which Israëls encourages his readers to read, saying he is more concerned with the facts of the family history than with the content of Schreber's psychotic fantasies.
Schreber began work on the Memoirs in 1900 in the hope that he would soon be able to live a normal life. In 1902 he was released, and went to live for a time with his mother in Leipzig. The following year he returned to Dresden to his wife who had by then adopted a thirteen-year-old girl (who provided Israëls with much factual information about her stepfather). Schreber was unable to obtain another official position but seemed to occupy himself contentedly enough with family matters; he built a house and became a devoted father. Israëls finds it significant that Schreber first went to stay with his mother after his discharge from the asylum. Although previous commentators had tended to deny that Schreber's mother had close relations with him or her other children, Israëls finds much evidence to the contrary. Until Schreber's marriage at the age of thirty-five, he had lived with his mother whenever he was working in Leipzig. His brother and three sisters also lived close to her, and another sister shared a home with her until her death. Paul Schreber wrote a long poem to his mother on the occasion of her ninetieth birthday. She seems to have been a serious, energetic, family-minded woman who took great interest in the Schreber Turnverneinen, the gymnastic associations that her husband had established and that quickly spread after his death.
After she died in 1907 Schreber began to sleep badly and to worry about the disputes that had broken out among the various Schreber associations. Israëls speculated that "Paul Schreber must have had the feeling that whatever he did, he would be getting it wrong—that he would never be able to satisfy all the associations; and the consequence was again a flight into insanity." It is perhaps significant that his wife had a stroke a few days before he developed the final illness that put him in a clinic in a suburb of Leipzig for the last three and a half years of his life. In an unpublished letter his daughter wrote: "Mother and I visited him there twice. However, he would not let us come close to him because he was afraid we might be harmed if he did. Always full of consideration."
Israëls's book tries to assess the validity of the issues raised by the two differing genres of writing connected with the Schreber family—the idealizing accounts of the Schreber Associations founded in Moritz Schreber's name and the "demonizing" account of Moritz in modern psychoanalytical literature. He makes a convincing case that although Moritz Schreber did not become famous in his lifetime, psychiatrists have found it useful to accept the posthumous praise he received as accurately reflecting his reputation as a working doctor. If his reputation was so high that he seemed almost deified it then would be understandable, if Paul Schreber's fantasy that God was persecuting him derived—as Schatzman claimed—from his relations with his father. Schatzman also links Moritz Schreber's theories to National Socialist philosophy: "Remember: Hitler and his peers were raised when Dr. Schreber's books, preaching household totalitarianism, were popular."9 But Israëls shows he is wrong to assume that there were many editions and translations of Schreber's books on the upbringing of children. In fact his books were not widely circulated and the evidence that his views were broadly influential seems weak. Nor was the Geradehalter widely adopted.
(Incidentally, neither Schatzman, Niederland, nor Israëls has anything to say about the physical abuse Paul Schreber claimed he suffered at the hands of the attendants in the asylum. That such mistreatment not only might have occurred but might have been connected with Schreber's paranoid behavior seems a more plausible hypothesis than some others the psychoanalysts have put forward.)
Israëls's extensive research is implicitly aimed at exposing the shaky factual basis of most commentaries on the Schrebers, and particularly of the psychoanalytic theories attempting to account for Paul's mental illness. Israëls describes Niederland, notwithstanding his incomplete information about the Schreber family, as "undoubtedly the best of the psychoanalytic writers on father and son Schreber," but he criticizes what seem to him contorted efforts by Niederland to avoid disagreeing with Freud. In order to remain a loyal Freudian, Niederland could not directly blame Moritz Schreber for his son's illness; and in 1963 he claimed that the data so far accumulated threw no light on the nature of Schreber's psychosis.10 Freud's diagnosis, Niederland says, should be viewed "within the confines of the analytic knowledge of 1911."11
Israëls, for his part, points out the errors made by Niederland and Schatzman, but he cautiously avoids any condemnation of Freud's conclusion that Paul Schreber's persecution mania could be explained as repressed homosexuality:
I do not propose to go into the details of Freud's theory concerning Paul Schreber's persecution mania. It is a theory that makes pronouncements almost exclusively about transformations supposed to have taken place inside Paul Schreber's head; and with my new biographical material I have nothing to offer that might support or undermine the theory.
But if Niederland and Schatzman can be condemned for elaborate theories based on erroneous or incomplete information, should not Freud be subject to the same criticism? Freud writes almost as though he were Schreber's attending psychiatrist, yet as we have seen he knew little about his family or his actual relations with his parents, and had no claim to reliable knowledge of Schreber's "inner transformation." What Israëls does not say is that the case seems to have provided Freud with an opportunity to work out some of his unresolved difficulties about the homosexual component of his own intense relationship with Wilhelm Fliess, from whom he had parted bitterly a decade earlier.
From the moment he opened the Memoirs Freud was full of excitement about "the wonderful Schreber, who ought to have been made a professor of psychiatry and director of a mental hospital."12 That a strong identification was being made was indicated in a letter to Sandor Ferenczi on October 6, 1910:
Since Fliess's case, with the overcoming of which you recently saw me occupied, that need has been extinguished. A part of homosexual cathexis has been withdrawn and made use of to enlarge my own ego. I have succeeded where the paranoiac fails."13
On October 17 Freud congratulated himself for feeling "capable of handling everything and am pleased with the greater independence that results from having overcome my homosexuality."14 On December 3 he told Jung: "I am all Schreber."15 Finally, on December 16, his paper on Schreber completed, he reported triumphantly to Ferenczi, "I have now overcome Fliess."16
This is a telling example of Freud's tendency to base ambitious generalizations on partially reported specific cases. Only a Freudian fundamentalist could claim that Freud's interpretation of Schreber led to a significant understanding of psychosis and paranoia. Israëls's book makes an implicit but powerful case against any theory not substantiated by factual evidence. What remains of interest is the possibility of using the Schreber case to explain Freud's own psyche and his tortuous relationship with Jung. Why did Jung provide Freud with the Memoirs when he knew that Freud would draw radically differing conclusions from his own? When Moritz Schreber's educational theories and the Schrebergarten are put aside, vengeful, painful, and extremely interesting emotional relationships remain to be explained.

It's called Toys'R'Us! Toys'R'Us! Toys'R'Us!
my housemates other half reckons his "it definitely christmas when you hear/see…" is the police drink/driving scare tactic.
i was confused when i saw the old toys r us advert. thought i had travelled back in time somehow.
Glad the move is going well, and that you are connected to the world already. That is, of course, one of the more important things to do :-P. I think James got our router delivered the day we moved in!
Have you noticed the changes in the new one though? Basically, the kids don't do any work now, presumably because their not really allowed to work night shifts.
And they've changed the red car that arrives at the end to something that looks suspiciously like a Vauxhall Corsa.
I disagree with this "avoiding the chaos." The chaos is fun – it's like camping, only indoors!

After 10 years of doing this diet, that diet, lemon detox, blood type, paleo and low carb and HCG, I finally got sick of it!
I got sick and tired of being bloated, overweight, lethargic and worst of all, up set each time I sat down to eat a meal. Every thing I ate left me bloated, even tomatoes and lettuce in the end!
It was my birthday, 1st February and I had had enough of listening to everyone else about what I should and shouldn't eat. I have amazing friends that are experts and even they couldn't figure out why I wasn't loosing weight! So, I decided to take food in to my own hands and throw out every diet and recipe book in my house, I was fed up!
At the age of 23 I chose to begin a vegan lifestyle, but I had no idea how to do it. I didn't want to eat animals anymore and didn't want to be someone who contributed to the death, slaughter and insane cruelty that our animals are subjected to through de-sensitised farming practices. The only problem was I simply replaced meat with bread, and didn't educate myself properly.
Fast forward 20 years and it's my birthday, I've had enough of listening to everyone else, and I choose Vegan again. For the same reasons, only this time, I choose to educate myself on how to eat well, be well and healthy.
In my exploration and investigation I discover there is more protein available to the body in Kale than there is in a steak and no brutality was inflicted on the Kale in order for it to reach my plate…. HAPPY DAYS!!
I enlisted the coaching of a Vegan food coach who recommended a way a daily eating and I've been following a very straight forward regime ever since. I've never felt better, I've never had more energy, clarity, connectedness to nature and humanity and I'm absolutely LOVING eating food that has life in it!! I've lost 8kgs without even trying and I'm still dropping !
My daily diet consists of fresh juicy fruit for breakfast, as much as I want! Banana, papaya, peaches, pineapple, acai, berries, and I make smoothies, fruit whips using my Thermomix or sometimes, I'll dehydrate 2 bananas that I've blended into a liquid and made crepes which I will use to stack high with fresh berries, fruit whip and a little home made, dehydrated granola on the top.
Dinner is similar to lunch though I do like to add baked potato, sweet potato or pumpkin with any number of devine dressings that I have made. Right now, I'm loving my Miso and sesame dressing.
I may have a desert of homemade coconut ice-cream with my own home-made chocolate grated over the top. YUMMO!!!
Snacks are a little coconut yoghurt, fruit, rice-cakes with avocado and tomato and anything that I feel like provided it's not high in fat and fresh.
Am I tempted by ordinary foods?……….NO WAY!! I watch the way other people eat and I feel compassion for them and the cruelty they are obliviously endorsing just so they can eat a steak or a roast. I am never tempted by dairy, pizza or burgers because to me, they are the epitome of pain and suffering for all involved including me and I'm just not prepared to go there. The food is disgusting, it smells revolting and the affect on the human body is startling. The more I discover about my choices, the more I'm convinced people should switch to a plant based way of eating!! There are no limitations, no restrictions, only beautiful healthy food prepared for us by nature, as opposed to processed, poisoned and toxic food prepared by a science lab, an abattoir or a some other profit driven entity that cares very little for the health of society!

All-in-one communications solutions that provide data, audio and video transmission are key in addressing the collaborative environment of today's workforce. While there are many solutions in the market place, in most instances compatibility issues become a problem as users have different operating systems and devices. The Talk Fusion Video Chat platform allows users to communicate with anyone, anywhere, on any device face-to-face, which is one of the reasons TMC gave the company the 2016 WebRTC Product of the Year Award.
Talk Fusion was recognized with the WebRTC Product of the Year Award because the solution it provides supports browser-to-browser applications for voice calling, video chat, and P2P file sharing, without internal or external plug-ins. This allows businesses to deploy the company's solution knowing all users need is a compatible browser, and nothing else.
Talk Fusion CONNECT is the company's video technology platform that features Video Chat, live meetings, video email and video newsletters designed to improve personal and business communications using one of the fastest growing technologies, video communication. The CONNECT platform can be viewed on any internet-capable device, and users can create video emails on iPhone, iPad and Android devices using the company's Fusion on the Go mobile app. And because it uses the real-time communications technology of WebRTC, you can communicate anytime with anyone in the world with a web browser and a camera.
As companies big and small access resources around the world, it becomes extremely important to communicate using solutions that are device and OS agnostic. Video Chat was recognized for this capability by TMC with the 2016 WebRTC Product of the Year Award.
The Video Chat app is available now in the iTunes and Google Play Stores.


Docklands is an ever evolving, inner city location with a relaxing waterfront lifestyle. Located only 2 km west of Melbourne's Central Business District and falling under the City of Melbourne local government.
Docklands consists of land and water totalling 200 hectares. It is bounded by Wurundjeri Way and the Charles Grimes Bridge to the east, City Link to the west and Lorimer Street across the Yarra to the south and is a primarily waterfront area centred on the banks of the Yarra River.
Docklands has expanded from the original New Quay development which once only featured the marina, restaurants and apartments. It is now a bustling waterfront precinct offering a mix of inner city living, shopping, business, parks, entertainment, dining, sporting and community events, arts and culture and home to the famous Docklands Stadium, Melbourne Star observation wheel and Library at The Dock, a next-generation library and community hub which also has a recording studio, creative editing suites, community spaces and a large performance venue.
Docklands is also the national headquarters for a number of major businesses including the National Australia Bank, ANZ, Myer, AXA, Bendigo Bank, Medibank Private and the Bureau of Meteorology, making it a great location for working professionals.
Wurundjeri Way is the main bordering road and connects to the nearby Westgate Freeway. Flinders, Collins and La Trobe Streets link the area to the CBD. Public transport options include Southern Cross Station and five tram routes as well as the free City Circle Tram. Docklands also has pedestrian links, several off-road bicycle paths and three ferry terminals connecting to the CBD and inner bayside suburbs.
Homes in Docklands mainly consist of impressive, modern, apartment complexes and some waterside townhouses.

WPN CEO Plans to Go HAM Against Botters
29th July 2016 // Gossip, Industry, News
Winning Poker Network (WPN) CEO Phil Nagy is prepared to go scorched earth to combat bots on his network, or so he said, in so many words, on a recent Twitch livestream. Nagy's comments come shortly after a player discussed on Two Plus Two how he allegedly profited $30,000 on America's Cardroom, one of WPN's member sites, by operating a bot.
Nagy, known to be very forthcoming on Twitch broadcasts, said that he believes he has "come up with the single biggest deterrent for anybody who wants to even think about doing bots."
He readily admitted, though, that innocent players might get caught in the crossfire as he and his team weed out unwelcome botters.
"I will make mistakes, I will ban real money people, and I will ban real people because they seem like bots, and I will be merciless about it," he said.
"To do this right, you gotta draw a line in the sand, if you end up being a casualty of war … collateral damage, I apologize, but this is what the people want."
Bots, which are software programs that play poker without intervention from – or with very minimal intervention from – a human, are explicitly prohibited on WPN sites. America's Cardroom's Terms & Conditions state, for example, "The use of artificial intelligence including, without limitation, 'robots' for play in the Games, is strictly forbidden."
In the thread on Two Plus Two, the alleged botter, who goes by the forum screen name "themadbotter," said that he initially set out to program his bot on America's Cardroom as a sort of intellectual pursuit, to see if he could create a winning bot. It did so well, though, that he said he got a bit "greedy" and kept it active for a few more months than he intended. In all, he said he ran his bot for about six months, eventually cashing out $30,000 in profit.
He claimed that most online poker rooms – PokerStars being the big exception – are fine with having bots at their tables:
In general most sites will look the other way for botters unless the botter garners a massive number of complaints from other players. Bots and poker sites have a mutually beneficial relationship. Bots are the most low-maintenance, high-value customers that most sites have. Bot-operators will never complain about cashout times, won't e-mail support over and over about mundane issues, won't complain about other players, won't be ill-mannered, etc. Good bot-operators will remain low-key and continue to churn out rake for sites and fill up the tables to boost player #'s.
"Themadbotter" said that he put several hours in every night reviewing his bot's results and adjusting its code to make sure it continued to get better. He also said a big key was making sure it didn't look like a bot. He would program in automated misclicks, have it switch tables and get on waiting lists, and made sure the duration and timing of its sessions didn't give it away. As to the latter, that didn't mean only having it play short sessions (as many people would assume long sessions would be the sign of a bot). It meant scheduling realistic sessions. For instance, the pattern of a couple hours on and a couple hours off would not be realistic, as a real person would need longer breaks for sleep.
While most people would consider botting cheating, "themadbotter" begged to differ:
I suppose I don't consider myself a cheater. I didn't share any hand-histories or real-time data and I was not part of a bot ring. I probably put in more hours studying sessions, opponents, and general gameplay than 90% of profitable players. Botting is easy, botting well is not. It's not as if the bot suddenly turned me into a winning poker player. I was a good cash game reg before (on a different site) and a big part of the reason why I was able to construct a good profile was because I was a solid player with close to 2M hands of 6-max playing experience.
Eventually "themadbotter" claimed he was "just bored and wanted to troll" and asked for the thread to be taken down, but most think he suddenly got nervous that someone either figured out or was going to figure out his real-life identity.
After Nagy announced his intentions to clamp down on bots, though, "themadderbotter" returned to Two Plus Two, writing, "ACR CEO was on Twitch earlier and promised that at the end of the month, the site will become very bot-unfriendly — that botters will no longer be able to operate with complete impunity. Challenge accepted."
Again, it sounds like Nagy doesn't even care if non-botters get unfairly booted in the process. He said, "I'll put it this way .. my sadistic personality…I'm gonna make it very very clear that other networks are gonna be much more bot friendly that ours. that's…gimme 30 days."
The players know on ACR that the bots are not coming from players but from the site its self when you sit in a tourney and there is 340 players signed up and 160 of them are sitting out it does not take a genius to know that it is impossible for 160 actual players sitting out there made up names and bots produced by the site.So the comment that real players might be in the cross hairs of the site and oh well we will take there money.is just another excuse how they can steal money from there customers and get away with it they can get rid of the bots when they want but they dont because the bots are the sites and there making tons of money cheating and stealing thats what we get when nobody from the USA is regulating or overseeing these sites they can pretty much do what they want.

Morrisville Food Co-Op Opens!
Prev View All Blog Posts Next
"MoCo," Morrisville, Vermont's new food co-op is now open and serving the community. After a brief soft opening period, MoCo held its grand opening on Saturday, September 30th and Sunday, October 1st.
CDG contributed design services in collaboration with building owners Bob and Susan Titterton, from early schematic design to the construction drawings issued for renovation of the space by general contractor Donald P. Blake, Jr. Inc. Donating a portion of our services to this largely volunteer and donor-funded effort is part of CDG's ongoing commitment to the community within which we live, work, and play. We are proud of the tireless efforts of so many that have made made MoCo a reality!
Our design work for the front of the building, which faces a large open parking lot towards the Morrisville Post Office, intends to reference the way a general store built during an earlier era might have interacted with its patrons, while creating an accessible and functional entry. Imagine a family having traveled to the village along dusty roads and paths by horse and buggy from nearby in the surrounding hills, resting their horse at a post or rail, and unloading their goods to be sold in the store. It is this essential sense of function, gathering, and community that our design work seeks to recreate within the context of Morrisville's bustling village center.

Elaborating on the capabilities and specifications of Yasir drone, Pourdastan said, "One of the capabilities of Yasir is detection and targeting of remote targets."
He said that the drone is equipped with the most advanced reconnaissance systems.
In September 2012, Iran announced that it has started using UAVs for its air defense units as part of its broader plans for strengthening the country's air defense capability.
Speaking to reporters on the occasion of the National Day of Air Defense here in Tehran on September 3, 2012, Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Farzad Esmayeeli said Iran has equipped its air defense units with Haazem drones.
Haazem is a drone designed and manufactured by Iranian air defense experts in three short, mid and long range models and for air defense missions.
The drone can be used as a target for air defense systems and also for reconnaissance missions.
The UAV can also be equipped with missiles and used for aerial bombardments as well.

A couple of months ago I decided I was missing some basic, plain trousers in my wardrobe. I wanted something versatile that I could dress up or down, depending on the occasion. A little bit like jeans but not as involved. So when I came across the True Bias Lander Pants, they looked like the perfect pattern to help me fill that gap.
You may remember I made a pair of Lander shorts in the summer to check the sizing and it was a success. Now all I needed was to find a suitable fabric.
I absolutely love them! I stuck with a straight size 6 despite my hips being an 8 on the size chart. The fabric has a little bit of stretch and the side seam allowance is a full inch to allow for easy adjustments. When sewing up, I kept the waist seam at the 2.5cm seam allowance, widened it to 1.5cm over the hips and back to 2.5cm again for the rest of the legs.
This was a joy to make. The fabric is on the heavy side but my machine didn't mind it. I did hammer down bulky seams and belt loops to make life easier for us both. It was great to sew, behaved when pressed and even though it's a light colour, it's not too transparent.
I chose to topstitch with the all-purpose thread I was using because I wanted a streamlined look to these trousers and I'm very happy with the final look. Because of not having to faff around with contrast topstitching and also since this was my 2nd time at this particular rodeo, the whole thing came together in about 7 hours. For me, that's very quick.
The buttons are jeans buttons I bought from Fabricate. I thought I should get some heavy duty ones for this fabric or they might just pop off.
The fit is just as good as with my first attempt. However, next time I will curve the waistband to see if I can get a better fit at the centre back. There is a little bit of gaping going on there but you will just have to believe me because I forgot to get pictures of it. I think I will try smaller pockets on the back next time as well.
When I tried it on to check the fit around the hips, an outfit idea took hold: a cropped top out of the remnants of my latest M7533 would be a match made in sewing heaven for these trousers! So I went for it. I chose B6175 which I made before here.
This time I made a size 10 and skipped out on the sleeves. I didn't take any extra length off the bottom either. I like that it hits just below the waistband. I can still wear it with other bottoms that aren't quite as highwaisted as the Landers without showing any of my stomach. The top has an all-in-one facing (I *LOVE* them!) and a simple button and loop closure on the back. It's a very good stash busting project. I used less than a metre for this one.
I think it's also worth noting that this outfit passed the ultimate comfort test: this is what I wore on the way home from Boston this summer and it was very comfortable. There was nothing digging, shifting, sliding or squeezing. The trousers did get a little creased but who doesn't look crumpled when they're stuck on an aeroplane for 7 hours?
This is not yet the end of my love affair with the Lander Pants though. Now I need some dark Landers for winter.
