Twitter is a massive social network where you can follow any number of people to keep in touch with their recent updates. Few weeks before I wrote about a chrome extension to display thumbnails of links shared from image sharing sites. Today I came with a tutorial to stop annoying retweets on Twitter. You might have noticed some of the users in Twitter, tweet interesting things but sometimes they will spam your wall with annoying retweets. Twitter has introduced a new feature to block all those retweets from any user on your friends list. Here's how to do it.
To enable this feature, first you have log in to your Twitter account and go to your "Following" list. Select the user for whom you need to mute the retweets. Near to the Follow button, you can see an user options icon as shown in the screenshot below. Click that and select "Turn off Retweets" option in the list displayed. That's it, you will receive only their manual tweets not the retweets they do.
You can also do this from the timeline. When you browse through your timeline, if you find someone in spamming your wall with retweets you can turn off their retweets alone easily. Click the user's profile link and it will bring the preview of their wall in a pop up. Near to the follow button you will see the same user options icon. Click that and select "Turn off Retweets" to stop you wall getting spammed.
It is an excellent option to enhance your Twitter experience. Another highlight of this option is, it works not only in the Twitter account but also reflects in all other Twitter clients you use. Wherever you use your Twitter account, retweets from muted users will not be shown. Instead of unfollowing an user, this mute option will be very helpful to get only the manual tweets from that particular person.
If you are a regular user of Twitter and want to mute all the annoying users, try this option and share your experience with us in the comments. Thanks for reading, do share this post with your friends.

The savings have been passed down to the client, letting them buy a luxury mattress, without spending a few thousands of dollars.
On the milder side of the mattress, this comfortable layer is made up of 3 inches of copper infused memory foam, using a density of 3.5pounds. That is a pretty thick layer of memory foam, and it can be a soft fabric that will allow the sleeper to sink for stress relief.
Layla mattress has a 4 month sleep trial, along side a lifetime guarantee. Most manufacturers only have a 10 year warranty. So, this is not merely a massive selling point for Layla, it also speaks for their caliber .

When you're looking to buy a new mattress, then the two biggest things are relaxation and support.
If you lie down on a mattress, it ought to properly support your body, sinking and adhering about your shape in the right locations to ensure your spine stays calibrated while you sleep with the night. Appropriate alignment from head to toe is essential to get balanced and healthful remainder and to decrease neck and back pain.

The pressure points on your own body are exactly what's at control of you thrashing through the day.
Ever since memory foam does such a great job of being supportive and comfortable, they have became very popular recently.
A mattress needs to be as neutral as it could be, to ensure both your body and backbone remain in a neutral place.
If a mattress is too rigid, it is going to irritate your stress points, causing pinched nerves and quitting adequate blood circulation.
And if you wake up with frequent back pain, then most probably this is because your mattress is too soft. This results in a concaving impact, like a hammock. Making your backbone be out of recovery.
This is the reason why it's so important to choose a mattress that's kind of neutral. It gives support with being too appropriate, and it's just soft enough at the right places of the body.
Among the most overlooked elements of hunting for the correct mattress, is the breathability of a mattress material. Also known as temperature neutrality. One of the greatest features of memory foam mattresses, is that their capacity to conform to a body.
With the advancement of engineering, most mattress brands these days design their own exceptional materials.
The objective is to give breathability, and also to distribute your body warmth equally.
It is no surprise if you're searching a top top quality mattress, that they do not come cheap.
It is quite an investment to create. That is why it's so important, when the time comes, you choose a mattress manufacturer that will last you for ages.
It's quite important that you find a mattress that has been constructed to endure a long period of time.

What Could Help You Decide the Best Time to Start Claiming Social Security
These experts say some don't understand the downside of starting benefits 'early'
Millions of Americans are rightly concerned about the future solvency of Social Security. But there's another key Social Security concern: the prevalence of people starting to claim their Social Security benefits early, depriving them of larger payments from the government by delaying.
When to begin claiming Social Security "is one of the most important decisions an individual will make," said Gary Koenig, vice president of financial security at the AARP Public Policy Institute.
Koenig and three co-authors just published the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) Report, "How to Help Americans Claim Social Security at the Right Age," because their research shows that many people are confused about the Social Security claiming rules. And they offer some smart suggestions that could help people make more informed claiming decisions.
Confusing Rules About Claiming Social Security at Different Ages
The confusion about when to claim benefits is understandable, considering how complicated the rules are and how Social Security explains them on its website. A recent Nationwide Retirement Institute survey found that just 37% of boomers are confident in their knowledge of Social Security.
Instead of talking about 62 as "early eligibility age," the Social Security Administration could call it the "minimum benefit age."
The claiming rules in a nutshell: You're allowed to start receiving Social Security retirement benefits at age 62, and nearly two-thirds of recipients do. That's a few years earlier than what Social Security calls Full Retirement Age (which is between 66 and 67, depending on when you were born); that's when about 20% of Social Security recipients start. And you can begin benefits any time after Full Retirement Age, which few people do.
By claiming at 62, however, your Social Security benefits will be reduced to 75% of what they'd be if you waited until Full Retirement Age. And Social Security benefits are increased by 8% a year for each year you delay claiming them until age 70.
A new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report about older women and retirement security noted that in the GAO's 14 focus groups with women generally over age 70, "some women said they did not fully understand that monthly Social Security benefit amounts change depending on the age at which you begin receiving benefits."
Koenig acknowledged that some people need to claim Social Security early to make ends meet. "And they should claim early," Koenig said. The need to claim at 62 could be especially necessary due to health reasons or job losses and financial setbacks due to the pandemic.
"Others may not be making the best decision if they claim early," said Koenig. "It may be that they don't appreciate the role Social Security can play in their long-term economic security."
From "How to Help Americans Claim Social Security at the Right Age"
$3.4 Trillion in Lost Potential Income Claiming Social Security Early
A 2019 study commissioned by the United Income financial planning firm a few years ago estimated that Americans will lose $3.4 trillion in potential income by claiming Social Security early — an average lifetime loss of $95,000 per household.
The BPC report offers this example for someone eligible to receive $1,000 a month from Social Security at Full Retirement Age at 67. By claiming at 62 instead of 70, the monthly benefit shrinks by 44%. It's $700 a month at 62 and $1,240 a month at 70.
Kelly Campbell, a Certified Financial Planner and chairman and CEO of Campbell Wealth Management in Alexandria, Va., says "a lot of people aren't educated about" the Social Security claiming rules. So they think there's no downside to claiming at 62.
"When we offer a Social Security class, it sells out," said Campbell. "The reason being a lot of people don't know where to get the information."
How the Social Security Administration Could Be More Helpful
And that's one of the things Koenig and his co-authors think needs to change.
They'd like the Social Security Administration to improve its online tools to better emphasize and explain the importance of the age you start to claim benefits, as well the effect on a spouse's Social Security benefits.
The BPC authors also want the Social Security Administration to "reframe" claiming decisions to better reflect their implications. For example, instead of talking about 62 as "early eligibility age," the agency could call it the "minimum benefit age," they wrote. Age 70 could be described as "the maximum benefit age."
"The term 'early eligibility' doesn't really provide any information that if you do claim at an early age, you will get a reduced benefit and a lower level for the rest of your life," said Koenig. "People may not see any negative."
What Congress Could Do to Help
Another idea they suggest, which would require legislation: allowing lump-sum benefits for delayed claiming. That way, instead of getting more in your monthly retirement benefit, you could get one boosted payout when you first start taking Social Security.
The BPC report also said that what the authors call "suboptimal claiming" may "especially jeopardize retirement security for people of color."
Said Koenig: "When you think of who is most reliant on Social Security retirement benefits, it often tends to be people of color. And if you do claim early, you are essentially locking in a lower benefit for life, which can have repercussions for your economic well-being.
One reason some people claim Social Security in their early 60s, rather than waiting, is because they don't want to touch their retirement savings for income to live on.
Weighing Your Options on Withdrawing From Savings in Retirement
One way to determine whether you can afford to delay claiming Social Security, Campbell said, is by making smart choices about when — and how much — to withdraw in retirement from your taxable accounts, IRAs and Roth IRAs. Partly, that comes down to minimizing the taxes you'll owe.
Campbell suggests using a rule I'd never heard of, called CTIMTIR.
"When you need money from your portfolio, the first place to go is Cash [your bank account or money market fund]," he said. Once you've taken out all you can and leave yourself the equivalent of three- to six-months' of living expenses in it, then take money out of your Taxable accounts.
When you hit what's known as your Required Minimum Distribution age (72) for IRA distributions, start taking money out there (that's the I for IRA and M for minimum distributions).
Next is TIR: first, tapping your Taxable account, then your IRA and finally, what Campbell calls "the last place" to go, a Roth IRA. The reason it's the last place: "it's the most tax efficient," because earnings and withdrawals are tax-free.
Koenig hopes financial advisers will do more to help clients understand the best time for them to start claiming Social Security. "They have an important role to play and should be looking out for their clients' best interest," he said.


Last week saw a lot of option activity. Way more than I expected going into the week. Between opening and closing positions there was over 20 different moves that I made last week. Sheesh. Although it was a profitable week so I'm happy with how things turned out. With that many moves to go over I've decided to split up my weekly options recap post into 2 posts; one covering the closed positions and another one coming out later this week that covers the new positions.
If you recall back in February United Parcel Service reported earnings and the share price decline significantly. Unfortunately for me the share price dropped all the way through the strike of the put option that I had sold so I became the owner of 100 shares of the company. Since then I've sold puts and covered strangles around the position in order to collect more premium and reduce my cost basis.
The covered strangle is created by owning at least 100 shares of a company and then selling 1 OTM put option and 1 OTM call option. Since you sell 2 option contracts you collect more premium than just selling 1; however, that comes at the risk of adding another 100 shares of the company or having to sell the shares.
This covered strangle position produced a net profit of $65.82. Based on the additional $10,400 of cash to secure the put side of the strangle that's a rather meager 0.63% return, but it did give a 10.1% annualized return.
Since becoming an owner of United Parcel Service I've reduced my cost basis through 1 put option and now 2 covered strangles. In total I've my per share cost basis has been reduced by $1.75 by trading options around the position.
I will likely refrain from opening another covered strangle position on United Parcel Service since earnings are set to be released later this month. I will be looking for potential earnings related trades, but likely won't make any longer dated plays until post earnings release.
Similar to my United Parcel Service position I've been using options as a way to reduce my cost basis on the shares I own in V.F. Corporation.
This covered strangle worked out much better than the United Parcel Service one. I was able to collect a net profit of $72.82 or a 1.46% return based on the additional $5,000 of capital to secure the put portion of the contract. The annualized return worked out to an excellent 20.8% return.
I was more than happy to close this position out since V.F. Corporation's share price has regularly been testing the $55 strike of the call option which meant I was at risk of having to sell my 100 shares which I don't want to do. Since purchasing the shares in mid/late January I've been able to use options to reduce my per share cost basis by $1.73.
I've started to try and incorporate more spreads into my repertoire as opposed to just using cash secured puts. By utilizing spreads you put yourself into a defined risk position, i.e. you know the most you can lose, while limiting your profit potential. While you reduce the amount of credit that you receive you do get the benefit of being able to increase your return on capital.
Essentially it goes like this. If Company A sells for $100 per share you could write a put option with a $100 strike, but would need to put up $10,000 to secure the contract if you can not use margin, i.e. retirement accounts. Or you could use that same $10,000 of capital to make different spread positions that have defined risk. A $1.00 spread only requires $100 of capital to hold the position even in a cash secured account. The risk/reward profile is different for both kinds of trades, but defining your risk does allow for more trades to be put on for the same amount of capital and options trading is all about probabilities which means you need the most number of occurrences as possible.
This wasn't the best trade set up that I could have asked for, but I felt it was fairly conservative and was a decent way to tip my toes back into the waters of using spreads.
This put credit spread generated a net profit of $45.82 which might not seem like much, but keep in mind that the maximum risk I was taking was $445.09. So that $45.82 in profit was a solid 9% return on the maximum loss. I was able to capture 83% of the maximum profit in about 65% of the days until expiration.
I was quite aggressive with opening this call credit spread with the short $125 strike being just slightly OTM at the time the position was opened. As such I decided to be much more aggressive with closing the position, especially since Johnson & Johnson's share price behaved and drifted lower after I opened the position.
This call credit spread provided a net profit of $12.82. Based on the $57.09 at risk, the width of the spread less the credit received, that's a solid 22% return in just 1 day. I was able to capture 30% of the maximum profit in just 10% of the days until expiration.
This position took a bit longer than expected to be able to close because it entailed a roll of the original put option back in March. Overall though I can't really complain because I was able to turn a solid profit or would have purchased shares in a wonderful company at a decent price.
The total credits received on this position, including the roll, worked out to $134.86. After closing the trade for $50.04 I was able to generate a net profit of $84.82. Based on the $6,000 of capital to secure the contract that's a solid 1.41% return in just over 1 months time. The annualized return came to 14.9%.
Over the last couple months I've been using the gold miner ETFs as a way to generate higher option premium. The implied volatility in these 2 ETFs is quite high which means higher option premiums to be had. Plus with the volatility skewed to the upside the call premiums offer very rich premiums in case the shares are put to me. I opened this put option on Monday of last week and by Friday I had the opportunity to close it out and lock in an excellent profit.
This put option generated a net profit of $64.91. Based on the $3,650 of capital to secure the contract that's an excellent 1.78% return. Since that return was earned in less than a full week the annualized return is absolutely fantastic at 400.1%.
I would have preferred to let this one just go the rest of the day instead of paying to close it; however, the smart move was to go ahead and lock in the profit. The ETF's price was trading right around the $23.50 strike and oddly enough closed trading on Friday exactly at my strike. Since I had rolled this position out in time once already I closed it early to release the capital and lock in gains.
This position started back in late February, but was then rolled out in time by the end of the first week of March. The total credits, including the roll, came to $56.66. After buying to close the position I was able to generate a net profit of $51.62. Based on the $2,350 of capital securing the contract that's an excellent 2.20% return. The annualized return works out to 22.6%.
In mid March I sold 2 put options on MasterCard with the hopes of having the shares assigned to me. The reason being that it set up so that I could collect the premium from the original trade, collect the next dividend payment and potentially collect 2 call option premiums as well. Well that didn't quite go as planned so I went a different route last week with a buy-write by purchasing 100 shares of MasterCard and simultaneously selling a call option. Since MasterCard closed trading above my strike price the shares were called away on Friday; however, I still get to collect the next dividend which will be paid in early May.
I purchased shares last Monday at $111.65 and wrote the $111 strike call expiring this past Friday. For selling the call option I collected $97.95 in option premium. My effective sale price came to $111.98 so I only generated a $32.95, or 0.30%, profit from this. Adding in the $22 dividend that will be paid bumps up the return to 0.49%.
Ideally the shares would have come back down below $111 allowing me to keep the shares, collect the dividend, reduce my cost basis via the option premium and sell at least 1, possibly 2, call options on MasterCard prior to the shares being called away. Sadly that wasn't the case so I will likely refrain from making any further option moves on MasterCard until the week that earnings are announced later this month.
Similar to my strategy with the gold miners I wanted to branch out into a different commodity, silver. On Monday of last week I sold to open a put option on the iShares Silver Trust with an expiration date of this past Friday. Ideally SLV would have closed above the $17.50 strike; however, it ended below and I now own 100 shares of SLV.
The strike price of the put option was $17.50, but the premium received when I wrote the contract helped to lower my cost basis. My effective purchase price becomes $17.18.
Since this isn't something that I want to own long term my plan is to sell covered calls against this position to reduce my cost basis and have the shares called away. As of now I'm looking at selling a $17.50 call option with a likely expiration date in early to mid May. Hopefully SLV will have move higher in the early part of this week to increase the premium or potentially allow me to sell a $17 strike call to pick up more premium. In hindsight I should have avoided this because the price of the underlying is too low to provide worthwhile option premium.
The rest of April should be a busy month as I currently have over $1,900 in potential profits via open option positions. I'm sure I won't be able to book all of that as profits as some positions are sure to go against me and I'll have to roll them out, plus I like to close my profitable positions out early. But if I can capture at least 50% of those potential profits I'll be just happy.
Looking forward to this week there's 8 positions that will be expiring on Friday. Some of those, namely my GDX and GDXJ positions are currently trading right around the strike prices which should make for an interesting week. My CVS Caremark covered strangle is for sure going to need some management which will likely entail rolling the put option or the entire position out in time.
Thx for sharing. We have similar positions in play!

Object-oriented, extendable advanced session handling component written with
security in mind that mitigates attacks like Session Hijacking, Session Fixation,
Session Exposure, Sesion Poisoning, Session Prediction.

Awarded 1st place in
[php.pl contest](http://wortal.php.pl/phppl/Wortal/Spolecznosc/Konkursy/Konkurs-Pozyteczne-i-praktyczne-biblioteki-Wyniki).

Features:

- smart session expiry control
- prevents session adoption, i.e. session ids generated only by the component
  are acceptable (strict model)
- sends cookie only when session really created
- session id rotation (anti session hijacking), based on time and/or number of
  requests
- configurable:
- unlike PHP native mechanism, you don't have to use cron or resource-consuming
  100% garbage collecting probability to ensure sessions are removed exactly
  after specified time
- convention over configuration - possible to configure user-defined stores, listeners (observers),
  entropy callback and fingerprint generators, but all of them have defaults set out-of-the-box
- 100% independent from insecure native PHP session extension

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sobstel/sesshin.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sobstel/sesshin)
[![Scrutinizer Code Quality](https://scrutinizer-ci.com/g/sobstel/sesshin/badges/quality-score.png?b=master)](https://scrutinizer-ci.com/g/sobstel/sesshin/?branch=master)

## Usage

### Installation

```
composer require sobstel/sesshin
```

### Create new session

Only when `create()` called, session cookie is created (for native PHP session
handler cookie is present all the time whether it's needed or not).

```php
$session->create();
```

### Open existing session

If session was not created earlier, session is not opened and `false` is returned.

```php
$session->open();
```

If you want to create new session if it does not exist already, just pass `true`
as argument. It will call `create()` transparently.

```php
$session->open(true);
```

### Regenerate session id

```php
// auto-regenerate after specified time (secs)
$session->setIdTtl(300);

// auto-regenerate after specified number of requests
$session->setIdRequestsLimit(10);

// manually
$session->regenerateId();
```

### Listen to special events

```php
use Sesshin\Event\Event;

$eventEmitter = $session->geEmitter();

$eventEmitter->addListener('sesshin.no_data_or_expired', function(Event $event) {
  die('Session expired or session adoption attack!');
});
$eventEmitter->addListener('sesshin.expired', function(Event $event) {
  die(sprintf('Session %s expired!', $event->getSession()->getId()));
});
$eventEmitter->addListener('sesshin.invalid_fingerprint', function(Event $event) {
  die('Invalid fingerprint, possible attack!');
});
```

### User session

```php
use Sesshin\User\Session as UserSession;
use Sesshin\Store\FileStore;

$userSession = new UserSession(new FileStore('/path/to/dir'));

$userSession->create();
$userSession->login(123);

if ($userSession->isLogged()) {
  echo sprintf('User %s is logged', $userSession->getUserId());

  // Or if you have some kind of UserRepository class, which can be used to fetch user data
  $user = UserRepository::find($userSession->getUserId());
  echo sprintf('User %s is logged', $user->getUsername());
}
```

### Store

Sesshin provides default FileStore.

```php
use Sesshin\Session;
use Sesshin\Store\FileStore;

$session = new Session(new FileStore('/path/to/dir'));
```

Note! Using /tmp as a directory is not secure on shared hosting.

Alternatively you can use one of numerous
[doctrine/cache](https://github.com/doctrine/cache/tree/master/lib/Doctrine/Common/Cache)
providers.

```php
use Sesshin\Store\DoctrineCache;
use Doctrine\Common\Cache\MemcachedCache;

$memcached = new Memcached;
// here configure memcached (add servers etc)

$session = new Session(new DoctrineCache(new MemcachedCache($memcached)));
```

You can also implement your own store using `Sesshin\Store\StoreInterface`.

### Change entropy algorithm

Entropy is used to generate session id.

```php
$session->getIdHandler()->setEntropyGenerator(new MyFancyEntropyGenerator());
```

`MyFancyEntropyGenerator` must implement `Sesshin\EntropyGenerator\EntropyGeneratorInterface`.

### Change session ID store

By default session ID is stored in cookie, but sometimes you may need to force
session id, eg. based on some token, query string var, etc.

```php
$session->getIdHandler()->setIdStore(new MyFancyIdStore());
```

`MyFancyIdStore` must implement `Sesshin\Id\Store\StoreInterface`.

Municipals | Ajloun Government
Ajloun is located in the vicinity of Jerash. It is famous for its historical Qa'latar-Rabad (the castle of the faubourg) which attracts large numbers of visitors because of its historical value. It was built by Izz al-Din Usama bin Munqidh, one of Salah al-Din leaders between 1148 and 1185 to witness Crusader expansion and maintain transportation routes with Damascus and North Syria.
The mountain on which the Castle was erected is known as Mount Auf, after Bani Auf of which a tribe settled in this Mount during the era of the Fatimids. The name of the city goes back to a monk who lived in an old monastery in the area.
The castle has a square geometrical shape and has four towers; each tower consists of two stories. The two towers to the right of the current entrance of the castle were added after the Battle of Hattin, and the trench surrounding the castle was dug as a defense line.
The large water tank is located to the left of the entrance, and there are other five water tanks inside the castle, which have various interior buildings, lounges and rooms.
In addition, to the castle, Ajloun is characterized by its natural beauty, large forests, wonderful summer weather, abundant olive products and all kinds of vegetables and fruits.
The visitor can drive to Ajloun by his own car or tourist car, and it can be reached by public buses between Amman and Ajloun that take off from the Abdali in the center of the Capital and transport the passengers for low fares.

Thanks to a partnership between government, a local artist, and a global athletic brand, basketball players on Manhattan's Lower East Side can now enjoy colorful courts and high-style hoops that highlight the energy of the sport.
The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks) teamed up with Nike and KAWS, the Brooklyn-based artist and toy designer, to transform Sara D. Roosevelt Park's two basketball courts into vibrant permanent installations. The four vividly-hued backboards and their matching asphalt playing surfaces—painted with bright character silhouettes against kaleidoscopic backdrops—were unveiled in a ceremony last week.
Nike, which recently collaborated with Portland, Oregon on its bike share program, committed $300,000 to the basketball courts for the KAWS installation and general spruce-up. The park, which opened in 1934, last received a major overhaul twenty years ago.
Although this collaboration was public-private, over the past several years the Parks Department has launched three major public initiatives to refurbish parks citywide. The Parks Without Borders project asks New Yorkers to nominate parks that could be better knit into the existing urban fabric through edge-condition design interventions, while this summer, Mayor Bill de Blasio committed $150 million to reinvigorating anchor parks, the largest and best-loved parks in the five boroughs. The older but ongoing $285 million Community Parks Initiative (CPI), started in 2014, added nine new sites to its improvement list in September. CPI targets parks in low-income, historically disinvested neighborhoods with growing populations.

Eye On Electronics
By Mike Dale
The science behind using diodes as a light source was mapped out more than 80 years ago. After a slow start, LEDs are finding widespread use in today's vehicles, including headlight systems.
Automotive lighting is all about the driver's need to see and be seen, usually in difficult conditions. Darkness, twilight and varying degrees of rain, mist and fog are all obstacles to driver vision. Vehicle lighting right now is in the midst of technological changes that will affect all vehicle systems. Intelligent lights are coming that will bring new vision capabilities to the driver. With them will come new service opportunities.
Vehicle lighting is important for reasons beyond driver vision. The headlights are the "eyes" of the vehicle and play a key role in styling. Interior lighting can be used to set the mood and ambiance in high-end luxury vehicles. The power consumption of the lighting system affects what power is available to other electrical systems in the vehicle. Turn signals, CHMSLs and emergency flashers compete for the attention of motorists already distracted by cell phones, stereos and rowdy kids.
There are three main types of lights currently being used in automotive applications—incandescent bulbs, high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Incandescent bulbs produce light by heating a filament made of tungsten by an electric current to the point of incandescence. The filament is housed in a glass bulb that has been purged of oxygen. For headlamp application, gases such as halogen are added as a means of improving the efficiency and the quality of the light output.
HID lamps produce light by striking an arc across the terminals inside the bulb. No filament is needed, as the light comes from the arc. The inside of the bulb is filled with xenon gas with mercury or bismuth added. These gases give the light its characteristic bluish color. An HID lamp requires a special electronic ballast to create the arc and then to keep it lit while the lamp is in operation.
LEDs are highly optimized devices that produce light when current flows through the P-N junction of the diode. Although this phenomenon has been known since the 1920s, it's only recently that indium gallium arsenide diode technology has evolved to the point where enough light can be produced to make LEDs a candidate for use in headlamps. Other, lower output LEDs are being used for interior lighting, parking lights, brake lights and other lighting applications.
LED lighting also requires special control electronics. To survive in automotive applications, LEDs must be fed from a constant-current power supply. A Lamp Driver Module (LDM) prevents variations in battery voltage from overdriving the LED and possibly causing it to fail.
The LDM also deals with a problem unique to LEDs—a normal, gradual reduction in light output over the life of the device. This change, called lumen maintenance, can amount to about a 10% loss in light output for headlamp LEDs and even greater losses for small-signal LEDs. It's possible to compensate for this in the drive electronics, so the loss is not noticeable.
All three possible sources of light for forward vehicle lighting have advantages and disadvantages. Halogen bulbs have been with us for more than 30 years and are tried, proven and cheap. They require no special electronics. But they're energy hogs. A typical halogen high beam will draw about 55 to 65 watts. At typical vehicle battery voltages, this means about 4 amps per bulb, or 8 amps for the pair.
One advantage with HID systems is that they produce about three times the amount of light as the halogen bulbs for a little more than half the energy input. A typical bulb, drawing 35 watts of power, will last considerably longer than a halogen bulb since there's no filament to wear out or break. Another major plus is that the light output has nearly the same color or frequency content as natural daylight. Since this is what the human eye responds to best, it means that drivers can simply see better when the road ahead is lit up by HID lamps.
While HID lighting has been available since the early '90s, it never really has become inexpensive enough to make it into mainstream U.S. production. Currently, HID lighting has about half the market in Europe. The main cost driver is not the bulb but the electronics needed to power it. There are two sections inside an HID ballast. One produces about 20kV to start the arc between the bulb's electrodes. The second part feeds and maintains the arc with about 600 volts and a regulated amount of current.
LEDs are even more efficient than HID lamps in terms of energy consumption, although it's difficult to say how much more efficient, as new developments and improvements keep coming at a rapid pace. The expectation is that LEDs will match the performance of HID systems while using perhaps half the energy of HIDs and a quarter of the energy of incandescents.
LEDs have been shown through testing to have over three times the life and reliability of incandescent bulbs. Yet another advantage is that the actual LED chips are smaller and lighter than the components of either HID or incandescent systems. This weight saving is made even greater by the fact that the supporting structure in the headlamp system can also be made lighter.
The real impact of LED lighting becomes apparent when you add up the number of lights in use on a typical vehicle. LEDs used in the instrument panel are much smaller than those used for the headlights. But then there are lots of them. Add to this all of the lights in the front, rear and side of the vehicle and the total current draw becomes impressive. A vehicle driving at night with the high beams on may need 20 amps or more just for lighting.
The net power saving with LEDs is important because it frees up electrical energy that can then be used for other accessories, such as electric power steering or an electric-powered water pump or a/c pump. Converting the Front End Accessory Drive (FEAD) loads from mechanical to electrical loads is one way to save fuel. Since these accessories need not run all the time, it's more efficient to do them as electrical devices that can be switched on and off as needed.
Generating the needed light is only part of the automotive lighting story. That light must be focused and directed in accordance with very detailed federal regulations written with the primary idea of protecting oncoming drivers. They specify how the forward headlights must be aimed and how bright they can be.
To meet these requirements, it's necessary to gather, focus, project and direct the light from the light source. Light leaving a filament structure or HID arc does so in all directions. Very little is truly aimed where it needs to go—that is, forward of the vehicle. The traditional solution to this has been to place the source of the light near the focal point of a paraboloid reflector. This reflector gathers light not headed in the car's forward direction and reflects it onto the right path. It was also possible to include optical elements in the front lens of the lamp assembly to further form and direct the output of the lamp in the pattern of a forward-directed beam.
There are other ways to do this in current use. The Free Form Reflector (FFR) concept directly assigns an area of road to be illuminated to a specific area in the reflector. Hella Lighting says that the surface of the reflector is calculated in computer software with what it calls deflection strategies. The software, called Helios, creates the design for the Free Form Reflectors that do a better job of putting the light where it's needed.
Another light-directing method seeing a lot of use on late-model high-end vehicles is called the projector type system. This, too, is a free-form system. The light generated by the source is gathered near a first focal plane, then projected onto a second focal plane. The second focal plane has a shield on it whose contour is mapped to the road by a lens.
The lens itself is the distinguishing feature of this headlamp system. It's a convex lens about 2 in. in diameter that looks kind of like an "eye" from which the shaped light beam emerges.
Now this wouldn't be the modern day and age if someone didn't figure out how to attach a computer and a motor(s) to the projection lens. The Hella Varilus and Variox systems are in production, with both computers and motors attached to the forward vehicle lighting system.
With a single free-form drum-shaped reflector system, the headlamp can be varied through a half dozen different light projection patterns. The light pattern designed for use in urban areas has a wide projection designed for short-range vision on roads that are lit by street lamps. The rural light pattern has a bright, sharp projection of light along the right shoulder with reduced projection into the oncoming lane of traffic. For Interstate or highway driving, more of the light is put in the center of the road for long-range vision. (Interstates are, of course, divided, so the concern of blinding the oncoming lane of traffic is reduced.)
As with everything that's technology-driven, headlamp and vehicle lighting systems are only going to become much more sophisticated. The opportunity for the service industry will come from the higher mechanical complexity of the motors and sensors that adjust and aim these systems. As usual, the technicians who understand how they work and how to adjust and/or repair them will earn the service dollars that knowledge deserves.

Valemount () is a village municipality of 1,018 people in east central British Columbia, Canada,  from Kamloops, British Columbia. It is between the Rocky, Monashee, and Cariboo Mountains. It is the nearest community to the west of Jasper National Park, and is also the nearest community to Mount Robson Provincial Park, which features Mount Robson, the tallest mountain in the Canadian Rockies. Outdoor recreation is popular in summer and winter—hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, mountain biking and horseback riding are common activities.  Valemount is one of 14 designated resort municipalities in British Columbia.

As a flag stop Via Rail's Canadian calls at the Valemount railway station two or three times (depending on the season) per week in each direction.

The name Valemount was coined for the Canadian National Railway station there in 1927 from the words vale and mount.

History
The land that would become Valemount is in the traditional territory of the Kootenai, Shuswap and Rocky Mountain Cree.  Other first peoples with ties to the area included the Lheidli T'enneh and the Mountain Metis.

In 1950, the Canoe River train crash occurred south of Valemount Station.

Valemount was incorporated as a village under the Municipal Act (now Community Charter), on December 13, 1962.
Until the construction of the Yellowhead Highway 5 in the 1960s, Valemount's population was small and mostly itinerant. Road conditions were poor in the wintertime and electric power unreliable.

Expansion and growth in the 1970s

Valemount's population increased  from 600 people to 693, and from 693 people to 1,160 in the 1970s.
The sewer system was completed in 1975, a water tower of 300,000 gallons started to service the town in 1977, a clinic opened in 1978, and a new Community Hall was inaugurated in February 1979. A shopping mall (1978) and several hotels on Highway 5 were completed in the late 1970s.

Valemount in the 1980s
In the 1980s population growth slowed. In 1980, work began at the Starratt Wildlife Sanctuary with a clean-up operation at an old dumpsite.
The Canoe Robson Education Development Association (CREDA) was founded in 1984 to assist local residents with continued education and training.
Canyon Creek Forestry Products was replaced by Clearwater Timber Industries which employed 400 people between Clearwater and Valemount. After two mill crises in 1984 and 1986, Clearwater Timber Industries went bankrupt and was purchased by Slocan Forest Products in May 1987.

Peak of lumber production in the 1990s
The mill was closed for part of 1991–1992 but reached a period of peak production between 1993 and 1996 when three shifts were employed full-time (160 employees). The population increased in these five years by 17 percent. In 1998, Slocan reduced its work force by two thirds and by 2001 the local population had dropped by 7.7 percent.   The sawmill, which had shut down by Slocan and then acquired by Carrier Lumber, never met its former production or employment levels, and closed permanently in 2006.

There are approximately 20 restaurants in Valemount.

Improvement and expansion of village infrastructure
All streets in the village were paved between 1993 and 2000. Major projects, such as the Curling Rink and the Arena, were completed or renovated, and the airport terminal was completed in 1996. In 1995, Valemount was invited to join the Columbia Basin Trust, created by the Columbia Basin Trust Act to benefit the region most adversely affected by the Columbia River Treaty.  The Mica Dam had been completed by 1974 and the whole Canoe River Basin flooded.
In 1997, the one-person office of CREDA grew into a busy Valemount Learning Centre; since then, the Valemount Learning Centre has been employing three full-time and three part-time staff, who provide various training and employment services to Valemount's residents.

21st century

Valemount has high speed wireless internet, train, bus and highway service. The village has one weekly newspaper, The Rocky Mountain Goat News, locally owned and based in Valemount. It covers the communities of Valemount, McBride, Dunster, Tête-Jaune, and to a lesser extent Jasper and Blue River. The Goat was named the top newspaper in its circulation category in 2015 by the BC Yukon Community Newspapers Association.

Borealis Geopower obtained three permits October 27, 2010, to explore the Canoe Reach area of Kinbasket Lake south of Valemount for geothermal development. It is the second region of B.C. opened up to geothermal exploration.

Valemount has increased its infrastructure capacity by adding a second water tower () in 2003, and now has a water treatment plant.

A wireless wide-area network was established in September 1999 centred in Valemount and covering a three-kilometre radius area. ADSL service has been available since 2003, and cell phone service (only some providers) since July 2004. High-speed Internet services were available in rural areas by 2005.

Demographics
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Valemount had a population of 1,052 living in 513 of its 602 total private dwellings, a change of  from its 2016 population of 1,021. With a land area of , it had a population density of  in 2021.

Media

Valemount is one of seven communities in English-speaking Canada with a license to broadcast over the air community television. The station is commonly referred to as VCTV within the community. In the event of a prolonged power outage or similar catastrophe where traditional communications are impossible or impractical, the society owning the station can use FM radio to provide critical messages to the people of Valemount.

Kate Middleton's Hyperemesis Gravidarum Condition Can Be Life-Threatening, Expert Says
Kate Middleton has been plagued with hyperemesis gravidarum during her pregnancies and one health expert said that the condition can be life-threatening.
When Kensington Palace announced that Prince William and Middleton are expecting their third baby, the palace also explained that the Duchess of Cambridge was canceling her planned engagement for that day due to her condition. Since then, Middleton has not been seen publicly.

According to one expert, hyperemesis gravidarum is "a thousand times worse than morning sickness," Healthline reported. In fact, this ailment can cause serious and life-threatening health issues.
Dr. Marlena Fejzo, who also suffered from the same condition, shared her pregnancy story with the publication. According to her, five weeks into her pregnancy, she was hospitalized due to severe dehydration. But her condition worsened in the next 10 weeks.
"I could not move without vomiting. I did not sit up, go to the bathroom, take a shower, brush my teeth, or leave my bed for 10 miserable weeks," Fejzo said. "I had hypersalivation and had to use a machine like they have at the dentist's office to suck off the excessive saliva. I was basically foaming at the mouth like a poisoned animal."

The publication noted that hyperemesis gravidarum can cause unrelenting nausea and vomiting. Zofran, a medication that prevents vomiting during chemotherapy can help. Fejzo's doctors pumped this on her leg, but they eventually switched to an IV in her arm because there was no more fat left on her thigh.
Fejzo became too weak due to starvation. She could not even talk and needed a buzzer to communicate. Unfortunately, her baby did not survive.
"I hadn't been able to keep any food down for 10 weeks and tried over 7 anti-nausea medications," she continued. "Eventually I was given nutrition through a tube, but it was too late. The baby died at 15 weeks. After that, I decided to devote my life to researching HG."

In related news, Middleton missed Prince George's first day of school because of her condition and she was devastated about it. "Kate watched the news from home," a source told Us Weekly. "She was desperately sad that she couldn't make it, but she is on firm bed rest now until she feels better."
Although Middleton didn't make it, the Duke of Cambridge was there for their eldest. In fact, the father and son, posed for Prince George's first day of school portrait, and they looked adorable.
Prince George looked smart and cute in his new uniform. He didn't look nervous at all. In fact, the tot was all-smiles as he held his daddy's hand and posed for the photo shoot.

Eye Injury Solicitors - Accident Compensation Claim Lawyers
There are over 25,000 serious eye injuries in Australia every year with more than half being suffered by young people and children who are at a higher risk of sustaining an eye injury than other members of the population. The human eye is complex and fragile whilst retaining healing powers that make it resilient to some but not all types of injury. Blindness or loss of vision quality in one or both eyes is a catastrophic injury requiring the services of an eye injury solicitor.
In most cases an eye injury will not have been caused by a car accident however there is a significant proportion that is a direct result of motor vehicle collisions. Road traffic accidents are a major cause of traumatic injury and represent more than half of all cases handled by personal injury solicitors. If you have been injured in a car accident and you want to make a compensation claim for personal injury and loss just complete the contact form, email our offices or use the solicitors helpline. Our eye injury solicitors offer advice at no cost without further obligation. If our eye injury solicitors deal with your claim it will be on a no win no fee basis, compensation is paid in full and you do not have to fund or finance your car accident compensation claim.
Eye Injury Compensation Claims
An eye injury can occur in many different situations however the incidents most likely to be the fault of a third party are as follows :-
Motor Vehicle Accidents – eye injury due to vehicle collisions are less common than they used to be as a result of the enforced use of car seat belts however they are still a very real risk. Shattered glass from a windscreen or door window may cause damage to the eye; sharp objects which penetrate the vehicle during a collision may penetrate the eye and traumatic impact against the windscreen, steering wheel or dashboard may cause serious eye injury. A driver, passenger, cyclist or pedestrian who sustains an eye injury as a result of a road accident may be entitled to make a claim for compensation if it can be shown that the accident was caused by or contributed to by someone else's wrong doing.
Workplace & Industrial Accidents – are a matter of real concern with eye injury being caused by collisions with works vehicles, explosions, electrocution, falling objects, chemical burns, caustic gases, swarf, chips, sparks, shattered machinery and the impact of slips, trips or falls. It is the duty of an employer to provide employees with a safe system of work which usually involves the provision of safe equipment and adequate eye protection and failure to do so will make the employer liable in negligence for any eye injury sustained by an employee in the normal course of business.
Leisure, Recreational & Sporting Activities – the owner or occupier of sports facilities and the organiser of recreational activities or holidays is responsible for their customers safety, to some degree, dependant on the activity and the perceived risk. In addition if you sustain an eye injury whilst involved in sporting activities by virtue of someone else's recklessness or deliberate violence then it may be possible to make a claim for compensation. If you have suffered an eye injury whilst involved in leisure, recreational or sporting activities you should take advice from a specialist personal injury solicitor about the potential to claim compensation.
Trips Slips & Falls – are frequent causes of injury to both the structure of the eye and to the bone surrounding the eye. The owner or occupier of land or premises, both public and private, including pavements and roads, is responsible for the safety of people who might reasonably be expected to use their property and as such can be liable in negligence for any eye injury sustained by a visitor.
Eye Injury at Work
Employers have a duty to provide their employees with a safe work environment. Part of providing a safe work environment is taking the necessary steps to protect their employees from eye injuries. If an employer fails to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of their employees, they could be held liable to pay compensation for any eye injury sustained by an employee during the course of performing their duties. Eye injuries that occur in the workplace are usually the result of negligence by an employer :-
Workplace and Industrial Accidents – The dangers faced by those who work in construction include :-
splinters, cut wire ends and tiny pieces of metal flying in the air
dust and grit caused by sawing, grinding, chipping and mixing cement
moving heavy machinery
Trips Slips & Falls – Eye injuries at work are frequently caused by trips, slips and falls. The bones surrounding the eye are particularly vulnerable to injury in these types of accidents. The owner or occupier of a piece of land or other premises has a duty to ensure the safety of people who could reasonably be expected to use their property. If a person trips, slips or falls on their property and sustains an eye injury, they might be held legally liable and be responsible for compensating the victim.
Causes of Eye Injuries
The causes of eye injuries are numerous. Common causes of eye injuries include :-
Exposure to Chemicals: An eye can be burned if a caustic chemical gets inside of it. This can happen when liquid is splashed into the eye or a person rubs their eye while chemicals are on their hand. Also, air-borne chemical particles, such as aerosol products, can damage the eye.
Scratches: If you are scratched or poked in the eye, it can damage the cornea, which is the thin, transparent skin that covers your eyes.
Cuts: Your eye can be injured if cut by a sharp object. Falls also sometimes cause cuts.
Blows to the Eye: If the eye is struck by a blunt object, it can result in damage to the iris, which is the colored part of your eye. Significant blunt force trauma can cause bleeding in the eye or the fracturing of the facial bones that surround the eye.
Foreign Matter or Debris in the Eye: Some of the most dangerous types of debris that can get into the eye include small pieces of plastic, metal or wood.
Exposure to Ultraviolet Rays: Overexposure to UV rays can be the result of tanning beds, the sun or welding.
Types of Eye Injuries
Eye injuries take a number of different forms, ranging widely in their severity and resulting complications. Some of the most common types of eye injuries are :-
Black Eye: Blood has leaked into the skin of the eyelid and surrounding areas; usually caused by blunt trauma to the eye.
Sub-conjunctival Haemorrhage: Caused by the rupture of a small blood vessel on the eye's surface; a patch of blood will appear on some or all of the white of the eye
Corneal Abrasion: Scratch on the surface of the cornea; often caused by foreign particles in the eyes.
Iritis: Inflammation of the inside lining of the eye or iris; can be caused by blunt trauma or a chemical burn.
Hyphema: Bleeding in the fluid-filled space between the coloured iris and the clear cornea; can result in permanent loss of vision.
Orbital Blowout Fracture: Fracturing of the bones that form the orbit of the eye; caused by blunt trauma to the eye and surrounding area.
Retinal Detachment: All or part of the retina is torn or separated from the surface at the back of the eyeball.
Eye Injury Solicitors
Every year in Australia, there are more than 25,000 serious eye injuries, many of then being a work injury. Whilst the human eye is resilient with innate healing abilities, it is still a complex and fragile part of the body that is vulnerable to injury. Some of these injuries can be catastrophic, such as loss of vision quality or total blindness.
Individuals who have suffered catastrophic eye injuries whilst at work should seek the immediate counsel of an eye injury Compensation solicitor. Because complicated medical issues are involved, it is important that you work with a solicitor who fully understands eye injury claims.
If you have sustained a serious injury that affects your eye which was the fault of somebody else, then please complete the contact form and one of our eye injury compensation solicitors will contact you to discuss matters. The initial advice is offered at no cost and there is no obligation to use our services which are usually dealt with on a no win no basis.
Eye Injury Overview
Eye injuries are wide ranging and can be as minor as a scratch on the cornea or severe, as in an injury that causes loss of vision on a permanent basis. Causes of eye injuries involve chemical exposures, such as an acid burn or alkali burn to the affected area. You can get soap, sunscreen or even things like tear gas and pepper spray that can injure the eyes. Mace can injure the eyes, too. Most do not cause permanent injuries with the exception of alkali and acid burns.
Corneal abrasions are scratches on the cornea that occur when something comes into contact with the eye that scratches the coloured part of the eye. It is extremely painful and is usually treated with an antibiotic eye drop until the wound heals in one to two days. Traumatic iritis happens just like a corneal abrasion and happens because of a blow to the eye from a blunt object. The muscle controlling the iris is inflamed and cannot move the iris well.
Hyphaemas or orbital blowout fractures that happen because of a blow to the eye that is severe enough to injure the eye and the bone around the eye. Hyphaemas involve blood in the eye underneath the cornea and sclera. Vision can be affected until the injury heals. In a hyphaema, blood in the anterior chamber of the eye interferes with vision because the blood is opaque. There can also be lacerations of the eyelids or of the conjunctiva due to a cutting or direct blow type of injury.
Foreign bodies can happen in the eye. You can get a free-floating foreign body that is removed with a Q tip. You can also get an embedded foreign body that is removed surgically with a needle or special instrument. Intraorbital foreign bodies have gotten onto the orbit but not into the eye. Intraocular foreign bodies have penetrated the eye and are more difficult to treat.
Ultraviolet light can cause a corneal flash burn. It is essentially a sunburn injury to the cornea and is common in arc welders, those who do not wear protection in tanning booths and those unprotected from the sun.
Symptoms of eye injury are redness of the affected eye and pain in the eye. The pain is described as a burning pain to the eye. The eyelids themselves can become swollen. If there is subconjunctival haemorrhage, there is a bright red spot on the white part of the eye due to a ruptured blood vessel. The reddened area can be quite large. In corneal abrasions, there is the persistent sensation of something within the eye and sensitivity to being exposed to light. In iritis, there is pain and a deep ache to the eye. The eye is very light sensitive and tearing of the eye is common. In a hyphema, there is pain and blurry vision to the affected eye. In conjunctival lacerations there is redness to the eye, pain and a feeling of something in the eye. In an orbital blow-out fracture, the eye can have limited movement and there can be double vision and eyelid swelling. Bruising is common.
In corneal foreign bodies, there is tearing, light sensitivity, redness to the eye and a sensation of having a foreign body in the eye, which can move around if the foreign body is free-floating or fixed, if the foreign body is embedded.
Intra-orbital foreign bodies affect the degree of vision; there is double vision and pain in the eye. Intraocular foreign bodies may have no symptoms or can have eye pain and decreased vision. Light induced injuries are painful and there is light sensitivity and redness to the eye. Decreased vision is seen in solar retinopathy.
Doctors take a thorough history and physical examination to determine the possible injury involved. Vision will be examined and a special light is used to examine the cornea for injuries. Fluoresce in dye and a black or blue light is used to shine up scratches and foreign bodies in the eye. The eye can fortunately be numbed during the procedure. A slit lamp is a microscopic device that can take a careful look at various parts of the eye, including behind the cornea. X-rays are used to determine if there is an orbital blow-out fracture.
The treatment of eye injuries depends on the type of injury. Foreign bodies are removed with a needle or with a specialized instrument. Embedded foreign bodies are lifted out of the cornea with a Q tip that can be used to remove the foreign body. The eye can be washed out to remove foreign bodies. Corneal abrasions are treated with antibiotic medications and iritis is treated with a steroid eye drop. Chemical burns are first and foremost treated with flushing the eye of any chemical, including pepper spray or mace from the eye.

Trump's Unpardonable Pardons
Jan 26 2021 / 2:36 pm
Another disgraceful performance from "Israel's president"
One keeps hearing that former President Donald Trump will be judged well by the history books because he was the only American head of state in recent memory who did not start any new wars. Well, the claim is itself questionable as Jimmy Carter, for all his faults, managed to avoid entering into any new armed conflict, and Trump can hardly be described as a president who eschewed throwing his weight around, both literally and figuratively. He attacked Syria on two occasions based on fabricated intelligence, assassinated an Iranian general, withdrew from several arms and proliferation agreements, and has been waging economic warfare against Iran, Syria, Venezuela and Iraq. He has sanctioned individuals and organizations in both China and Russia and has declared Iranian government components and Yemeni Houthi rebels to be terrorists. He has occupied Syria's oil producing region to "protect it from terrorists" and has generally exerted "maximum pressure" against his "enemies" in the Middle East.
So no, Donald Trump is no antiwar activist. But Trump's most pervasive foreign policy initiatives have involved Israel, encouraging the Jewish state's attacks on Palestinian, Iranian, Lebanese and Syrian targets with impunity, killing thousands of civilians on his watch. Trump has given Israel everything it could possibly ask for, with no consideration for what the U.S. interests might actually be. The only thing he did not do for the Jewish state was to attack and destroy Iran, and even there, reports suggest that he sought to do just that in the waning days of his administration but was talked out of it by his cabinet.
Trump's pander to Israel started out with withdrawing from the nuclear monitoring agreement with Iran, followed by his shutting down the Palestinian offices in the United States, halting U.S. contributions for Palestinian humanitarian relief, moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Syrian Golan Heights, giving a green light for Israel to do whatever it wishes on the formerly Palestinian West Bank, and, finally permitting paroled former Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard to go "home" to Israel where he received a hero's welcome. Trump, to be sure, was aided in his disloyalty to his own country by former bankruptcy lawyer Ambassador David Friedman in place in Israel, an ardent Zionist and a cheerleader for whatever atrocities Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to commit. Couple that with a Congress that gives billions of dollars to Israel annually while bleating that the Jewish state has a "right to defend itself" and a media that self-censors all the human rights violations and war crimes that Netanyahu unleashes, and you have a perfect love fest for Israel expressed daily throughout the United States.
But even given all that, Trump the panderer clearly wanted to give one last gift to Israel, and he saved it for his last day in office, when he issued more than 140 pardons and commutations. Though other presidents have issued controversial pardons, no other head of state has so abused the clemency authority to benefit not only friends and acquaintances but also celebrity defendants including rappers, some advocated by the likes of the Kardashians, and also those promoted by monied interests. Most of the pardons went to cronies and to supplicants who were willing to pay in cash or in kind to be set free. It was suggested that Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner was engaged in the selection process and money was often a key element. Some might describe that as corruption.
Those of us in the actual antiwar plus anti-surveillance-state movement had been hoping that Trump would actually do something good at no cost to himself, pardoning whistleblowers Edward Snowden, John Kiriakou, Reality Winner, and Chelsea Manning as well as journalist Julian Assange. Kiriakou has reported that when he petitioned for a pardon through one of Trump lawyer Rudi Giuliani's aides, he was told that such an arrangement would cost $2 million.
Bribes for pardons aside, it would have cost Trump nothing to pardon the whistleblowers and it would be a vindication of those who had put themselves at risk to attack the machinations of the Deep State, which Trump had blamed for the coordinated attacks against himself. This was his relatively cost-free chance to get revenge. Admittedly, there is speculation that Senator Mitch McConnell may have warned Trump against pardoning Julian Assange in particular, threatening to come up with enough GOP votes to convict him in his upcoming impeachment trial if he were to do so. Be that as it may, not a single whistleblower was pardoned though there was room on the ship for plenty of heinous white collar criminals. Former Dr. Salomon Melgen, for example, had his sentence commuted. Melgen, a close friend of the seriously corrupt Senator from New Jersey Robert Menendez got into trouble in 2009 when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) discovered that he had overbilled Medicare for $8.9 million for a drug called Lucentis. Two years later Melgen's business was hit with a $11 million lien from the IRS and four years after that he was charged and convicted over more than 76 counts of health care fraud and making false statements.
Some of those pardoned had Jewish organizations going to bat for them. Elliott Broidy, former finance chair of the Republican National Committee, had no less than five Rabbis vouching for him. Last year Broidy had pleaded guilty to acting as an "unregistered foreign agent," part of a larger investigation into the Malaysian "1MDB Scandal" in which Prime Minister Najib Razak stole more than $700 million dollars from his country's state-run 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). Broidy worked on behalf of Razak and was offered $75 million if he could get the U.S. Justice Department to drop its own investigation into the scandal.
Another clemency beneficiary who exploited his Jewish links was Philip Esformes, a former nursing home executive who executed one of the biggest Medicare frauds in U.S. history. Just days after being released after serving four years of his 20-year sentence, Esformes celebrated his daughter's wedding in a lavish party held at his multi-million dollar Florida home. He benefited from a lobbying campaign by the Hasidic Chabad-Lubavitch Aleph Institute, a group advised by the ubiquitous former Trump lawyer Alan Dershowitz. The movement reportedly has connections to Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Another person pardoned by Trump was Sholam Weiss, a Hasidic businessman from New York who was sentenced to more than 800 years in prison in 2000 for racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering connected to a huge fraud scheme that stole $125 million from the National Heritage Life Insurance Company, leading to its bankruptcy. He fled the country but was subsequently arrested in Austria and extradited to the United States. Weiss had reportedly received the endorsement of from Dershowitz, who also recently has been involved in the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell espionage case.
And, of course, there was also the Israel factor. For no plausible reason whatsoever and contrary to actual American interests, Trump gave a full pardon to Aviem Sella, a seventy-five year old former Israeli Air Force officer, who was indicted in the U.S. in 1987 for espionage in relation to the Jonathan Pollard spy case. Sella fled to Israel days before Pollard was arrested outside the Israeli embassy in Washington D.C. and the Israeli government refused to extradite him. Sella, at the time doing a degree course at New York University, was Pollard's initial contact. He had started working part-time for the Mossad intelligence agency in the early 1980s and received some of the classified top-secret documents provided by Pollard in exchange for money and jewelry.
Sella had passed on the Pollard contact to Mossad's agent handler Rafi Eitan, who continued to "run" Pollard until he was arrested. Sella's indictment was essentially meaningless theater, as is generally true of nearly all Israeli spy cases in the U.S., as Tel Aviv refused to extradite him to the United States and the Justice Department made no attempt to arrest him when he was traveling outside Israel. Trump's pardon for Sella as a favor to Netanyahu sends yet another signal that Israel can spy against the U.S. with impunity. The request to Trump for clemency came from the Israeli government itself and was reportedly endorsed by Netanyahu, Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer, the United States Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, and Miriam Adelson. According to the White House statement on the pardon, "The state of Israel has issued what a full and unequivocal apology, and has requested the pardon in order to close this unfortunate chapter in U.S.-Israel relations."
Was it a gift or merely a pander? Note particularly the inclusion of David Friedman, who as U.S. Ambassador to Israel is supposed to defend the interests of the United States but never does so. Once upon a time it was considered a potential conflict of interest to send a Jewish Ambassador to Israel. Now it seems to be a requirement and the Ambassador is apparently supposed to be an advocate for Israel as part of his or her mission. Friedman will no doubt be replaced by a Democratic version to deliver more of the same. And then there is Miriam Adelson. Good old Sheldon is hardly cold on the ground and his wife has taken up the mantle of manipulating players in Washington on behalf of the Jewish state.
Money talks and so the drama in Washington continues to play out. Trump manages to make himself look even worse with his last round of pardons and commutations on his ultimate day in office. No one who deserved clemency got it and a lot of well-connected rogues who were willing to fork over money in exchange for mercy benefited. Business as usual delivered by the so-called Leader of the Free World.

Kopalnia Węgla Kamiennego Wujek (niem. Oheim) − kopalnia węgla kamiennego w Katowicach, leżąca na terenie dawnej osady Katowicka Hałda, która prowadziła wydobycie w latach 1900–2021.

Historia
W lipcu 1804 powstał pierwszy plan sytuacyjny kopalni "Beata" w Brynowie, której w 20 lat później prawo do eksploatacji wystawił Królewski Urząd Górniczy w Brzegu. Akt nadania obszaru górniczego Oheim o powierzchni 1 km² został zatwierdzony w Berlinie w 1842. W 1899 r. do kopalni Oheim włączono pole nieczynnego już zakładu Beata. Jednak dopiero w lutym 1904 zarząd kopalni zarejestrował kopalnię w Sądzie Powiatowym w Katowicach.

Drążenie pierwszego szybu rozpoczęło się w 1899, a pierwsze tony węgla wydobyto z głębokości 63 metrów 7 listopada 1900. W 1911 w kopalni pracowało 2103 robotników. W okresie I wojny światowej w kopalni pracowało wielu jeńców wojennych. Jeńców umieszczono w domach noclegowych u "Wulca", przy stacji kolejowej Brynów.

II Rzeczpospolita
W 1922 dokonano nadania polskiej nazwy Wujek. W tym samym roku uruchomiono kopalnianą stację ratowniczą.
W 1936 roku ciężkie warunki materialne górników, doprowadziły do wybuchu dzikiego strajku na kopalni. Okupacja kopalni rozpoczęła się 28 listopada. Pierwsza i druga zmiana nie wyjechała na powierzchnię a trzecia (której nie pozwolono zjechać pod ziemię) rozpoczęła okupację kopalni na powierzchni. Na czele komitetu strajkowego stanęli socjaliści, członkowie Związków Zawodowych, komuniści i bezpartyjni. Ponieważ dyrekcja kopalni nie spełniała postulatów górniczych rozpoczęto strajk głodowy. Nad szybem wywieszono czarną flagę z trupią czaszką i piszczelami. Żony górników protestujące przed kopalnią i przed urzędem wojewódzkim zostały rozpędzone przez funkcjonariuszy Policji Państwowej. Jednak 4 grudnia pomimo interwencji Policji brama została wyważona i tłum kobiet wtargnął na teren kopalni. To przesadziło o tym, że górnikom zmniejszono normy i przyznano podwyżki.

Po stagnacji wywołanej kryzysem lat 30. ożywienie nastąpiło w latach 1937-38 i wydobycie wyniosło 4800-4900 ton na dobę.

PRL
W 1970 wydobycie węgla wynosiło 2 mln 89 tys. 40 ton, a w 1979 – 3 mln 882 tys. 850 ton rocznie. KWK "Wujek" jako pierwszy zakład wykonał w czerwcu założenia planu pięcioletniego.
Strajk na Wujku rozpoczął się 1 września 1980 i trwał do podpisania porozumień jastrzębskich 3 września 1980. Od pierwszych dni września w kopalni zaczęła działać Solidarność, której przewodniczącym po wyborach w grudniu 1980 został Jan Ludwiczak.
16 grudnia 1981 doszło do masakry górników strajkujących (strajk okupacyjny) przeciw ogłoszeniu stanu wojennego. Podczas pacyfikacji siłami milicji oraz wojska i w wyniku strzałów oddziału ZOMO zginęło 9 górników, a 23 zostało rannych.

III Rzeczpospolita
1 stycznia 2005 doszło do połączenia dwóch samodzielnych dotąd kopalń KWK Śląsk z Rudy Śląskiej-Kochłowic, z KWK Wujek z Katowic-Brynowa. Decyzja Zarządu Katowickiego Holdingu Węglowego SA połączyła obie KWK w jeden zakład górniczy - Kopalnię Węgla Kamiennego "Wujek" jako kopalnię dwu ruchową składającą się z Ruchu "Wujek" i Ruchu "Śląsk".
18 września 2009 roku w kopalni "Wujek" "Ruch Śląsk" doszło do wybuchu metanu, w wyniku czego dwudziestu górników poniosło śmierć, a trzydziestu pięciu zostało rannych.
18 kwietnia 2015 roku w kopalni ''Wujek'' ''Ruch Śląsk'' doszło do wstrząsu 4 stopni skali Richtera w wyniku czego zginęło dwóch górników. Akcja ratunkowa trwała blisko 2 miesiące.
1 kwietnia 2017 roku kopalnia została przejęta przez Polską Grupę Górniczą. 1 stycznia 2021 roku połączono w jedno przedsiębiorstwo kopalnię Wujek z kopalnią Murcki-Staszic, kopalnie uzyskały połączenie podziemne w 2021 roku. Kopalnia Wujek zakończyła wydobycie pod koniec listopada 2021 roku.

W grudniu 2017 kopalnia uhonorowana została medalem "Za Zasługi Dla Obronności Kraju".
