CONCEPT OF RIGHT TO INFORMATION
CONCEPT OF RIGHT TO INFORMATION The concept of democracy in India is enshrined in the Preamble to the Constitution of India wherein opening words provide that "We, the People of India ―and in the end it lays down‖give to ourselves this Constitution". The citizens have the fundamental right to know what the government is doing in its name. Freedom of speech is the lifeblood of democracy. The Apex Court in the case of K. v.

The Supreme Court Still Adamantly Refuses to Yield to RTI BY ANIKET AGA ON 03/09/2015 While the government often comes under fire for not effectively implementing the RTI Act, few have noticed that India's highest court violates the Act routinely, and with an impunity that makes the government's evasion of the RTI Act seem benign.

Right to Information is Slowly but Surely Being Suffocated BY SHAILESH GANDHI ON 07/08/2015 - The Wire Those who say that the Right to Information has made a great impact point out that it is responsible for creating the culture of transparency in the government. The widespread usage of RTI is proof of this. This claim is reasonable and is obvious in the empowerment of citizens and the scams it has exposed. The sudden feeling that corruption has risen in the last few years, and the Ind

What are some of the shocking, weirdest, silliest RTI requests made in India? As Abraham Lincoln said "Government is of the people, by the people, for the people" The government is our servant and we have no duty to explain why we seek information from them. The government holds all the information in our behalf, in trust. Like a banker can't ask you why you want to see your bank account statement, similarly the government can't deny if you ask them how they are governing our country.

RTI brought Number Plates on President and Governor Cars
momita posted a entry in News, July 19, 2018
New Delhi: Delhi High Court has ruled that vehicles of India's top constitutional authorities like the President, the Vice President, Governors and Lieutenant Governors will have to be registered with the authority. According to the ruling, all vehicles need to clearly display the registration numbers. A petition, filed by an NGO Nyayabhoomi, claimed that the practice of displaying the state emblem, instead of the registration numbers, make the dignitaries become easy targets for terrorists and anyone with malicious intent.
In December last year, the Delhi High Court had asked the Centre and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in the national capital to place before it the rules regarding display of just the State Emblem of India on the cars of the constitutional authorities and dignitaries, such as the President, instead of their registration numbers, PTI had reported.
The petitioner also sought direction to the Delhi government and Delhi Police to seize the cars used by the Rashtrapati Bhawan, Vice President, Raj Niwas and Protocol division of the Ministry of External Affairs for not being registered under the Motor Vehicles Act, PTI reported.
After the petition was filed, a bench of acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar had directed both the governments to check the position and inform it about the same.
The plea was based on an RTI response by the Ministry of External Affairs which stated that none of its 14 cars maintained were registered.
Last year, the Rashtrapati Bhawan had refused to provide the registration numbers of all the presidential vehicles on the ground that disclosure of such information would endanger the security of the state and life of the President.

Best Samsung Galaxy S21 Deals – Updated September 2021
This post contains sponsored content
The Samsung Galaxy S21 is now available for purchase, as of January 29. But where can you get the best price? That's what we're here for. This list has the best prices for the Galaxy S21, so you can get it for the best price.
But for those that want to grab the Galaxy S21, without paying full price, who has the best deals on these new Android smartphones? Well that's what we are here to show you. That way you won't end up spending more than you need to, to get the next big thing from Samsung.
Best Samsung Galaxy S21 Deals
All of the major carriers and retailers are selling the three Galaxy S21 models. So you can choose where exactly you want to purchase your new smartphone.
The Galaxy S21 and S21+ are pretty similar, only boasting different screen sizes and battery sizes. Internally, both sport the Snapdragon 888 5G processor, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There is also a 256GB of storage model available for $50 more. Both sport flat FHD+ 120Hz displays as well. These are flagship phones, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra is the "Ultra" smartphone experience. Meant for those that want the latest and greatest.
Meanwhile the Galaxy S21 Ultra sports a more high-end spec sheet. Still sporting the Snapdragon 888 5G, but it is paired with 12GB of RAM with 128GB or 256GB of storage. There is also a maxxed out model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage as well. It sports a 6.8-inch QHD+ AMOLED 120Hz display.
All three models are impressive. Especially given their prices. The Galaxy S21 is $799, the Galaxy S21+ is $999 and the Galaxy S21 Ultra is $1,199. Which is $200 cheaper than its predecessors – the Galaxy S20 series announced last year.
Below, you'll find all of the best deals for the Galaxy S21 series. So you can choose where you want to grab your Galaxy S21 smartphone from. And save the most money.
Samsung Galaxy S21 - Samsung.com - From $199
Samsung's website currently offers the best deal for the Galaxy S21 series. They are offering up to $400 off via a trade-in. It also offers the entire Galaxy S21 series in all of the colors.
Samsung Galaxy S21 - Amazon - From $649
Amazon is selling all three models of the Galaxy S21 series, at their regular prices. Unfortunately, Amazon is not offering any freebies. But you can still get the Samsung.com credit, as that is included on all Galaxy S21 purchases, no matter where you buy it.
Samsung Galaxy S21 - Verizon - From $0
Verizon also offers some very generous trade-in values. Where you can get up to $700 off by trading in an LG phone, or even up to $1300 off by trading in a broken phone – which is kinda insane.
Samsung Galaxy S21 - AT&T - $799
AT&T by far has the best trade-in values for the Galaxy S21 series. It is offering up to $800 off of your Galaxy S21 purchase. Which means you can get it for free, as long as you pay for upgrade fees and taxes.
Samsung Galaxy S21 - T-Mobile - From $200
T-Mobile is offering a buy one, get one free promotion as long as you add a line to your account. Like AT&T, T-Mobile also offers you a free Galaxy S21 if you trade in your smartphone.

Women's roller derby in Indianapolis is movin' on up.
The Naptown Roller Girls announced today they have scheduled a bout for April 20 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, home of the Indiana Pacers. Normally, the locally based roller derby team plays at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
Both teams are members of the national Women's Flat Track Derby Association.
The event is being marketed by Ray Compton, former Indianapolis Colts sales and marketing chief. Compton also has worked stints in marketing for the Pacers and the Indianapolis Ice when the Ice was a minor league professional team.
The Naptown Roller Girls were founded in 2005, have been featured in several local publications and have a growing following. The team's bouts in recent years have drawn several sell-outs when it played at the 4,500-seat Toyota Blue Ribbon Pavilion at the Indiana State Fairground. Due to growing ticket demand, the local roller derby team has moved its bouts to the Fairground's Pepsi Coliseum.
On Apirl 20, the Naptown Roller Girls' feeder teams will play an inter-league bout at 6:30 p.m. The main event begins at 8 p.m.
Tickets for the event will go on sale Thursday and will be available at the Fieldhouse box office and through Ticketmaster outlets.
General admission tickets are $14 in advance and $18 at the door. There will also be a limited number of floor level seats available for $20. Discounted tickets for students, youth and military also will be available.
The sport of roller derby, which features roller skaters speeding around a short oval-shaped track, first became popular in the 1970s, but has recently made a comeback in cities nationwide. The bouts are known for physical play, bumping and numerous crashes.

Composition Based Off Art
Art created and used with permission by Dennis Chan,
I decided to use only a single piece of concept art to create an entire piece of music. As is often the case when working on games, I am usually only given still images to arrive at a certain sound. In this case, I was not given any instruction for what kind of sound to go for, but my dissemination process went like this:
Composition Based Off Video - Film Scoring Demo 1
A new original score for the film "Alien"
To fully understand the challenges that are presented when scoring to completed film or visual cues, I took the intro sequence to the film "Alien" and created my own score to accompany the images. I tried to stay as true to the original source material as I could without ever actually referencing it.
I used a string sections playing deep tremolo notes to simulate the effect of the "background" space noise, as well as a vast number of orchestral clusters and echoes to obtain an ominous mood. One the camera enters the ship, I tried to give a strong sense of isolation to accompany the imagery. I wanted the overall ambiance of the space ship to be unnaturally loud and unnerving, mixed with some industrial clanks and scuffs to really amp up the paranoia. Lastly, the horrific ambient sound scrapes are faded away as the first sign of normal activity is seen in the computer monitor flickering on. I wanted to create a resolution for all the tension leading up to this point. Finally, the Hyper Chamber Scene changes the sound once again to a more rhythmic and recognizable sounding song format. I agonized over finding the exact tempo this song would have to be in order to sync up my own musical hooks with all of the visual cues. Things like doors opening, camera changes and facial expressions.
Due to certain "legal" issues, I had to put bars all over the screen for Youtube to let it pass the copyright algorithms. Sorry about that. You can download the unedited version witht he link at the bottom
Matt Creamer - Film Scoring Demo Reel 1 UNCENSORED *349MB*
Scored to a pre-made video of dodgeball highlights
It just so happens I play a lot of dodgeball when I am not making music. One of my friends in the Vancouver Dodgeball League invited me to score one of the highlight reel videos he made for the previous seasons playoffs. As with the Film Scoring Demo 1 video, I attempted to find a pulse for the video. A beat that I could begin to write to, where the visual cues would line up with the audio on their own. This one took a lot of fiddling with, but I believe I managed to find that pulse. There are points in this video where I attempt to illustrate a story. The song starts out very neutral and inspirational, but gradually shifts in to a more desparate and competitive sound. It happens to line up with a large string of clips where people are getting hit or caught out, which is the adversity aspect. I bring it all back to a neutral inspirational vibe for the end, which shows a lot of clips from a particularly intense grand finals series.
Since I did not edit the video, I apologize in advance for the lengthy dance sqeuence break in the middle. :P

Pro-China Carrie Lam Most Unpopular Leader in Hong Kong History
Hong Kong's pro-China Chief Executive Carrie Lam is officially the least popular leader in the region's history, according to a public survey published this week.
The latest polling from Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute indicates that Lam has an approval rating of just 22.3 percent, making her the least popular head of the city since the U.K. gave Hong Kong up to China in 1997.
When asked if they would vote for Lam if they had universal suffrage, 15 percent of people said they would, also marking a three percent drop from the last survey and a record low. Another 80 percent said they definitely would not vote for her, also marking a six percent increase and a record high.
The institute had a sample range of 1,004 people between September 30 and October 3 by landline and mobile phone.
Her collapse in popularity comes as pro-democracy demonstrations continue across the city as part of a pushback against China's increasing interference in their internal affairs, widely seen as a betrayal of the "One Country, Two Systems" agreement with the British Empire.
The protests initially began in June as a response to a proposed extradition bill that would allow China to command Hong Kong to extradite individuals present in the city. Lam promised protesters the Legislative Council would withdraw the bill, but lawmakers have taken no concrete steps to do so. Protesters have added four demands to their list: the release of political prisoners, an investigation into police brutality, direct election of lawmakers, and an end to the government referring to them incorrectly as "rioters."
Lam, who owes her position entirely to Beijing, has previously admitted that she would like to resign but Chinese authorities forbade her. Since that confession, Lam has threatened to pass laws curbing the freedom of the press and imposed a ban on facemasks, commonly used to protect from tear gas.
This week, Lam confirmed that she would not rule out asking to China to intervene if "limitless and lawless" violence continues to ravage the semi-autonomous city.
"At this point in time, I still strongly feel that we should find the solutions ourselves. It is also the position of the central government that Hong Kong should tackle the problem on her own," Lam said at a press conference. "But if the situation becomes so bad, then no options can be ruled out if we want Hong Kong to at least have another chance."

John and Ange run Ruradene Farm, a mixed farm operation in Tarlee at the tip of the Clare Valley food region that has been in the Rohde family for more than 50 years. They converted a small area of egg production to free range early in the 1990's and expanded production a few years later. Ruradene continues to be a mixed farm, with broad-acre crops and cross-bred lambs along with 50,000 contented laying hens. Demand has grown steadily and they now deliver 18,000 dozen eggs per week to a grateful customer base. They are proud to hold the only RSPCA accreditation in South Australia.


Thanks for posting your project on the forum.
Here is a quick model of you project.
I'm not sure that I have understood correctly how the modules fit together, but in the configuration I've set up the "pass cables" under the desk 01 will stop the doors of desk 02 opening.
Before building this you'll have to look at how you want the backs to assemble and what hardware you'll use for doors and drawers.
You can play with this design to set it up to your needs and we can send you your free plans cutting lists.
If you need more advise and a complete revision of your final project you can buy the CabinetFile Pro service.
Below are the drawings with dimensions in mm someone did for me once but is was way to expensive. It is almost exactly what I want to do. The idea is to build it with 20mm MDF boards (that is the thickest I can get here) that I would have to sandwich two of them to make the 40mm. The surface will be a Grey natural wood Veneer that I would glue on after getting the boards cut at the local shop.
Some of the doors on the furniture would be a sand blasted glass to give it a modern look and that hides the inside.

Hot Shot is the name of several fictional characters from the Transformers series. All are young Autobot cars.
Hot Shot was an early name considered for the character that was eventually released as Generation 1 Warpath.
"I can take the heat."
In Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Hot Shot is the leader of the Spy Changer team.
Hot Shot is the leader of the Spy Changers and has worked beside Optimus Prime for a long time. He comes across as rough and tough, but his hard exterior hides a caring, concerned nature underneath. He can manipulate fire at will.
The Takara tech spec for Artfire says his function is "Ninja Chieftan." Chief of the Spy Changers. A relative of Fire Convoy, Artfire has worked together with him for a long time. He comes across as exceptionally hard-boiled regarding duty, but in fact is very concerned for his subordinates. Artfire is able to control flames at will.
The Spy Changers are a team of six Autobot espionage specialists, consisting of the powerful but caring Ironhide (Ox), the speedy sniper Mirage (Counter Arrow), the eager-for-combat trooper W.A.R.S. (Wicked Attack Recon Sportscar) (Wars), science officer Crosswise (X-Car), tactician R.E.V. (Race Exercion Vehicle) (Eagle Killer) and their flame-manipulating leader, Hot Shot (Artfire). The team can drive over any surface, even water, in defiance of gravity, and have optical camouflage powers that render them invisible.
In the television series, the Spy Changers received little characterization - usually acting in a group to attack or perform whatever mission they had been assigned.
Hot Shot was among the Transformers appearing in the TransformersCon 2006 program comic.
Most of the molds of the Spy Changers are based on those created for the Go-Bots line of Transformers seen in Generation Two. The mold used for Hot Shot was previously used for Go-Bots Blowout, Megatron and Frenzy.
Hot Shot appeared in the Armada, Energon and Cybertron lines. Although seemingly two different, but similar, characters by Takara, he was portrayed as a single evolving character when Hasbro made Cybertron part of their Unicron Trilogy. He bears several similarities to the Beast Wars and Beast Machines Maximal Cheetor, the Robots in Disguise Autobots Prowl and Side Burn and the Generation 1, Live-Action film, Animated and Prime Autobots Hot Rod and Bumblebee.
In Transformers: Armada, Hot Shot is a member of Optimus Prime's Autobot Squad, partnered with the helicopter Mini-Con Jolt. He is young and reckless dare-devil with his head as hot as his 'lifespark' is. Не is a crazy racer as well as a brave soldier; also he is very emotional and spontaneous. Hot Shot is one who rushes into danger without regard to his own safety; it was that brash attitude that enabled Sideways to take advantage when Hot Shot got too overconfident with the Star Saber, despite Scavenger's warnings. He took over as Autobot Commander when Optimus was briefly destroyed, and evolved to Powerlinx Hot Shot on the way to Cybertron. Hot Shot was voiced by Brent Miller. In Micron Legend (the Japanese version of Armada), Hot Shot was known as Hot Rod and his upgrade was called Super Mode Hot Rod; in Armada, however, his name hadn't been changed.
Though Hot Shot is one of the youngest Autobots, he is a skilled warrior. Once on Cybertron he had his own trainee, named Wheeljack. But in one battle Wheeljack was crippled while an inferno raged all around him. Hot Shot left to get help, but the Autobots' commander forbade him from going back. Subsequently Megatron rescued Wheeljack, and the latter, being offended with the Autobots, swore his loyalty to the Lord of the Decepticons and conceived a hatred for Hot Shot. Later, when Wheeljack arrived on Earth and joined up with Megatron's raiding party, the former friends met again, but now they became the bitterest of enemies. The two clashed, and Hot Shot only survived after Sideswipe came to the rescue.
Hot Shot and Red Alert were with Prime when he journeyed to Earth to locate the Mini-Cons, battling Megatron and his Decepticons many times. After his acquisition of the Star Saber he battled Starscream on several occasions, defeating him in spite of the Decepticon's skill. His ego growing, Hot Shot was promptly given a humiliating lesson when Scavenger easily defeated him, proving that without the skill to use such a weapon, Hot Shot had a long way to go. Unfortunately Hot Shot didn't learn the lesson, and the Decepticons took possession of the Star Saber.
When Starscream joined the Autobots Hot Shot was at first displeased very much with Prime's decision to admit the turncoat Decepticon to his group. He challenged Starscream to a hand-to-hand fighting, and only the appearance of Smokescreen (now Hoist) had stopped their brawl. From then on their relations began to improve step by step. There were some occasions when it happened that the two helped each other: for example, Starscream had saved Hot Shot when Megatron wanted to shoot him after the 'Bots warped in to the Moon Base and emancipated the Mini-Cons. But they didn't become real friends, because Hot Shot mistrusted Starscream at heart. When the Mini-Con Race Team have disappeared from the A-Base one day, Hot Shot was the first to accuse Starscream of stealing them. However, he soon learned that he was wrong and felt the stings of remorse, but it was too late. Though Hot Shot met Starscream some more times but again as the enemy only.
Hot Shot gets to know the human allies of the Autobots (Rad, Carlos and Alexis) almost at once after his arrival on Earth, and he becomes their best friend very soon. He likes to play with them much more than to do his daily duties. He has plenty of childish traits in his own character, indeed. Though Optimus Prime is convinced of Hot Shot's ability to become a worth Autobot leader one day, it looks as if Hot Shot attaches no importance to his potential.
Events forced Hot Shot to grow up fast, however, after Optimus Prime was destroyed saving the Earth. Thrust into a leadership role Hot Shot tried his best, but all too gladly gave up the role when Prime returned. He was one of those injured by Nemesis Prime and upgraded into a more powerful Powerlinking body. He then joined up with Wheeljack and Starscream again, trying to stop Thrust and Sideways from reactivating Unicron, failing due to Unicron's internal defenses. Trying in vain and failing to make Galvatron (a reformatted Megatron) see the truth of Unicron's threat (although this, ironically enough, made Wheeljack respect him, and went some way to repairing their friendship), Galvatron was finally convinced by Starscream's sacrifice, earning Hot Shot's respect in death. Hot Shot fought against Unicron, and was appointed leader of the Autobots along with Jetfire when Optimus Prime went into seclusion.
In Transformers: Energon, ten years after the end of Armada, Hot Shot "matured" (both physically and mentally), becoming an officer in Prime's inner circle. Still a yellow sports car (which resembles an Aston martin), he was given the Spark of Combination from Primus, which allowed him to combine with other Autobots into one unit. Later in the series, he was upgraded into a silver form of the same body as Energon Hot Shot (Hot Shot Fire in Superlink, the Japanese version of Energon).
Hot Shot would be the commander of Ocean City, the Autobots' first outpost on Earth. His Powerlinking partner was Inferno. He was idolized by Ironhide for his heroic status after the battle with Unicron, but saw the young Autobot as too reckless and hotheaded - unable to appreciate that this was how he had been years before. Hot Shot was present for many of the battle against the Terrorcons (including a severe beating at the hands of the newly reborn Megatron, who tore his arm off), but it was when his former commander Rodimus arrived, having gone into seclusion years before, that Hot Shot experienced a real crisis, Rodimus had been convinced by Alpha Q that Unicron could be used as a force for good, recreating all the worlds that Unicron had destroyed, and he wanted Hot Shot to help him. Hot Shot refused as his loyalty to Optimus was too great and the two came to blows. Later the two would be reconciled after Megatron had reactivated Unicron to use as a weapon, even becoming Powerlinking partners.
Hot Shot took part in many of the battles surrounding Unicron, battling both Decepticons and Terrorcons multiple times, once again being reformatted after being nearly destroyed in an attack by Unicron. He also spent much time mentoring Ironhide into a more responsible and mature Autobot. He eventually combined his Spark with those of all other Autobots to empower Optimus Supreme to battle a Unicron possessed Galvatron.
In the series Transformers: Cybertron, Hot Shot is supposed to be the same character as from Armada and Energon; in Galaxy Force, the Japanese version of Cybertron, he is a completely new character called Exillion. His weapons in the series included a Grenade Rifle, Missile Launchers, Battle Dagger, and Shoulder Rifles.
When Cybertron was threatened by the Black Hole left by Unicron's destruction at the end of Energon Optimus Prime ordered the planet evacuated. Many of the inhabitants, including Hot Shot, fled to Earth, where he took the form of an Earth sports car that resembles a Chrysler ME 412. However the search for the Cyber Planet Keys soon took priority and Hot Shot, once again partnered with Red Alert, journeyed to Velocitron to search for that planet's Key. His confidence took a severe dent when he was soundly beaten in a race for the Key by the planet's leader Override. Hot Shot quickly became obsessed with beating her, to the exclusion of all else - something that did not endear him to Prime when the Autobot leader arrived. However, encouraged by the Autobots' human allies Hot Shot eventually beat Override (as well as the Decepticon contenders), winning the Key for the Autobots.
Hot Shot was involved in many of the Key battles, fighting not just the Decepticons under Megatron, but the army of ancient Decepticons gathered by Starscream. He was nearly killed by Megatron, but was reformatted by the Omega Lock into a more powerful form. Alongside Red Alert and Scattorshot he became part of the Cybertron Defense team, battling at the forefront of many of the most dangerous battles. Later they fought Soundwave, the powered-up Starscream and Galvatron himself (a once-again recreated Megatron).
After Red Alert, Hot Shot and Scattorshot were nearly killed in combat with Megatron, the power of the Cyber Planet Keys was able to not only heal their wounds, but reformat the trio of Autobots into new forms based on vehicles found at the military base they were being repaired at. The three Autobots became the Cybertron Defense Team (Vanguard Team). They even try to take down Galvatron, he lost but survived.
In episode "Beginning",After the eventual defeat of Galvatron Hot Shot, along with Dirt Boss, Ransack, Dark Crumplezone, Brakedown and Clocker, raced in the Speedia 500 to see who would become the new leader of Velocitron after Override left to join the Space Bridge project. Hot Shot won, becoming leader of Velocitron and signifying his growth from a cocky impetuous rookie to a confident mature leader.
In Dreamwave's Transformers: Armada comic, Hot Shot would play a smaller role than his animated counterpart. One of the first Autobots to appear, he was unable to prevent the fall of Cyber City to the Mini-Con enhanced Decepticons. One million years later, when the signal from the escaped Mini-Cons was received, he was one of the Autobots who journeyed to Earth under Optimus Prime. Subsequently, he was involved in many of the adventures on Earth, battling Starscream and Cyclonus, gaining Jolt as a partner, attacking Demolishor to gain access to the Decepticon Spacebridge and searching for the Mini-Con Matrix.
It was during this last mission that he was attacked by Galvatron, one of the Heralds of Unicron, himself searching for the Matrix. Barely escaping he and his companions made their way back to the Autobot base and tried to deal with the disappearance of Optimus Prime, only to be met with a full-scale attack by the Decepticons, with Hot Shot being easily beaten by Megatron. Presumably repaired, he, along with Red Alert and Scavenger took revenge on Megatron by blasting the traitorous Decepticon leader into Unicron's mouth.
In Dreamwave's Transformers: Energon comic, set ten years after Unicron's defeat, Hot Shot appeared again. One of Prime's right-hand men (and idolized by Ironhide in this continuity as well), he was one of those who tried to hold off Unicron's four horsemen - Rhinox, Cheetor, Airazor and Terrorsaur - but was nearly destroyed. Reformatted by the power of Primus and given the Spark of Combination, he and the others were able to drive them off.
Heading to Earth to battle the Terrorcons, he was subsequently ordered to train the Omnicons, but was frustrated by their inability to listen to orders: however they did prove their worth by capturing Snow Cat. Subsequently he was one of the defenders of Toronto alongside Thrust, Red Alert, Hoist, Beachcomber and Rodimus, battling against Divebomb and a swarm of Terrorcon clones before receiving help from a very unlikely source - Megatron, resurrected in a new body by Optimus Prime. Megatron decimated the Terrorcon invasion, leaving Hot Shot to supervise the survivors.
A character based off Hot Shot named Excellion appeared among Override's troops in the Transformers Collectors Club exclusive story The Dark Heart of Sandokan by Benson Yee. This story is set years after the events of the Transformers: Cybertron animated series. Override (now in her GTS form) was commanding the Autobot ship Star Arrow when it crashed on the planet Sandokan while transporting a Force Chip. An outsider among the Autobots because of his brooding attitude, Excellion is one of the very few Autobot warriors who the Decepticons think of with any respect, but that respect is earned. Excellion has made an art of speed and strength, moving back and forth across enemy lines as if he were invisible. More than once, he has retrieved vital information from within a Decepticon stronghold, or quickly and quietly disposed of a particularly annoying enemy agent.
IDW's Transformers Collectors Club exclusive comic story, Revelations part 6, is set after the defeat of Galvatron but before Optimus Prime's mission to start a new Space Bridge project. In this story the Autobots from the IDW series (Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Sentinel Maximus, Downshift, Perceptor, Alpha Trion, Over-Run, Anti-Blaze, Checkpoint and Scythe) meet the Autobots from the animated series (Cybertron Optimus Prime, Jetfire, Override, Scattorshot, Red Alert, Hot Shot, Lori, Bud and Coby Hansen) and thank each other and remembering those who were lost in the battles.
Hot Shot is among the characters appearing in the 2004 Transformers video game for the PlayStation 2.
A yellow car partnered with the Mini-Con Jolt. According to the Armada video game Armada Hot Shot is supposed to be 16 feet 5 inches tall and his toy is 13cm tall. That's a scale of 1:36.
There were plans to release a repaint of Armada Hot Shot called Smokescreen with Mini-Con Jolt, a homage to Generation One Smokescreen in the Universe line. Although prototypes were seen, the toy was never released.
A small version of Hot Shot given away as a prize in Happy Meals. Can combine with Armada McDonald's Optimus Prime, Red Alert and Smokescreen to form a rather awkward looking robot.
A Lego-like building block kit of Hot Shot which can be assembled to either car or robot mode. As with all Built to Rule toys, Hot Shot uses a universal skeletal frame that enables simple transformation.
Can powerlinx with similar Autobots.
Hot Shot's fists have 5mm holes.
A silver redeco of Energon Hot Shot.
The toy of Hot Shot was sold by itself and with the Mini-Con Mirage as a promotion at Wal-Mart. This toy is 14 centimeters long, while a real Chrysler ME 412 is 454 centimeters long. This gives the toy a scale of 1/32. The robot mode would stand about 14 feet 11 inches.
In 2006 a Target store exclusive two-pack called the Drag Race Pack included Cybertron Hot Shot and Override. The tech spec provided indicated that after he came to the Speed Planet he took an immediate liking to Override's private race course. He doesn't even mind losing on it, so long as he can just enjoy its intricacies.
Like most toys sold in the Galaxy Force toy line by Takara, then later in the Cybertron toy line by Hasbro, there are small paint differences between the two versions of the toy. The Hasbro version has a code number on the back of his Cyber Key, while the Takara version has no number on his Force Chip.
In the Galaxy Force toyline, a red version of Exillion was released in limited numbers in 2005. A second red version, this time with darker red tires, was also sold with a Japanese Galaxy Force DVD. In the Cybertron toyline, a third red version was released under the name Excellion in 2006. With red, and orange as the principle colors, all three were created as an homage to Hot Rod.
There was also a micro-sized version of the Cybertron Hot Shot toy sold. This toy was done at a scale of about 1:61 from the actual car. This toy was later redecoed into Classic Legends Bumblebee.
A redeco of the Legends Hot Shot was released in the colors of Cybertron Excellion, but the packaging still clearly identified him Hot Shot.
An upgraded version of Hot Shot which turns into an armored vehicle. His Hasbro tech spec indicates that while unhappy at losing his car mode during his reformatting he considers it a necessary sacrifice, having learned that speed isn't everything. Now he relies on his immense heavy weaponry in battle - and if that fails then he's only too happy to go blade-to-blade with his foes, using the new skills Brakedown taught him. The Cyber Key info on the Hasbro website indicates he has even found ways to incorporate his weaponry into his death-defying maneuvers, using his missile launchers as makeshift boosters and his grenade launchers to cushion his descent.
A recolor of Deluxe Cybertron Hot Shot. He is a repaint of Hot Shot and a homage to Generation One Hot Rod. Cyber Key Code d7p5. In 2006 a special edition of Excelliion was available in Walmart stores which contained a DVD with the episode "Cybertron" as a promotional item - despite the fact that he wasn't in that episode.

"Is it hot in here, or is it just me?"
In the Transformers Animated continuity, Hot Shot was the original name for the character that would become Bumblebee. The name change was apparently due to Bumblebee's appearance in the 2007 film. He is part of Rodimus's team. In battle, he can activate flamethrowers on his arms, whose flames can burn hot enough to ignite Decepticon energy bolts.
A newer imaging of the character, an update to his Armada form, appeared in season 3. He appeared fighting Decepticons who were attempting to take an Autobot Space Bridge in the episode "Transwarped". His leg was badly damaged in battle, prompting Red Alert to have it amputated, much to Hot Shot's chagrin though she assured him he'll get a replacement part. However after Red Alert is seemingly disposed of by Spittor, Hot Shot was in a state of shock as his team were taken out. He is later present when Sentinel Prime returns to Cybertron.
Hot Shot's biography was printed in issue #24 of the Transformers Collectors Club magazine.
"Talent and looks; I got it all!"
Hot Shot spends most of his time trying to prove himself worthy of being called warrior by the older Autobots. Unfortunately, this often means either showing off, which bugs the more experienced soldiers, or rushing headlong into danger, which requires a rescue. He's got a lot of potential, but also a lot to learn.
Hot Shot appears as an unlockable character in the Nintendo DS version of Transformers: War for Cybertron. He resembles Generation 1 Hot Rod with the concept art done by Hasbro artist Marcelo Matere identifies him as Rodimus  and shares many of his traits and personality.
According to Aaron Archer at the BotCon 2010 Activision panel Hot Rod is credited as Hot Shot due to Hot Rod being an unprotectable name.
Hot Shot can be unlocked by beating "Dam 6" in Arena Mode. Hot Shot is described as being young, impetuous, showing enthusiasm and confidence which borders on arrogance. He boldly claims that he has both skill and looks, though he is not too keen being paired with Kup on missions. Somehow, he became corrupted by Dark Energon. If the player manages to defeat him, he calms down, shrugging off the effects of the Dark Energon and returning to his regular self.

Hot Shot is part of the Transformers: Age of Extinction toy line.
}The only thing Hot Shot likes more than winning is winning and going home a hero. The fearless Autobot will charge into any situation, blasters firing at every target in sight.

Islamic State Service Provider
By Bill Humphrey November 14, 2014 - 6:59 pm September 22, 2016 Arsenal Pulse
As I've said before several times — I really think think the make-or-break factor for would-be or quasi state actor organizations like ISIS is their ability to provide and sustain vital, basic-level government services and employment to their subject populations. Conversely, their opponents would have to find a way to disrupt the supporting physical infrastructure, the bureaucrats administrating the system, and the low-level employees implementing the policies each day.
The New York Times ran an article Thursday on how U.S. airstrikes have affected all three, but my main takeaway was more documentation of the brass-tacks approach of ISIS (once they stop mass-murdering people, of course):
It was not that the militants were popular in Raqqa [the "Islamic State" "capital"], according to nearly a dozen residents, who spoke in interviews in the city or across the border in Turkey. Rather, the Islamic State had become an indispensable service provider.
Reflecting how civilian life in the area has become intertwined with the militants — who paid salaries, ran schools and directed traffic — 10 civilians were killed in a coalition airstrike on Sunday that hit one of the oil facilities run by the Islamic State, where many people had found work.
Acceptance of the Islamic State in northern Syria contrasts sharply with Iraq, where the group's ascendance has been more contested and its response more brutal. Many Iraqis clamor for a return of the government, despite its unpopularity, especially in Sunni regions.
This extends and expands the point I made in early September (when the US intervention was limited to the occupied Iraqi zones, rather than the economic heart of ISIS), when I cited a Reuters report on ISIS bakeries, hydroelectric power plants, and telecoms in their so-called "Forat Province" administrative area. From Reuters:
According to one fighter, a former Assad employee is now in charge of mills and distributing flour to bakeries in Raqqa. Employees at the Raqqa dam, which provides the city with electricity and water, have remained in their posts.
They have been helped by experts who have come from countries including in North Africa and Europe. The man Baghdadi appointed to run and develop Raqqa's telecoms, for instance, is a Tunisian with a PhD in the subject who left Tunisia to join the group and serve "the state".
Sure they can't keep the lights on for more than six hours a day, and sure they've stupidly sent all their beat cops from Raqqa to Kobani in large convoys to be deployed in clusters that are easy targets for the United States Air Force. But they really were building a new state out of the civil war's rubble before the Syrian and American planes finally showed up to put a stop to it. That's not particularly laudable in their case per se, but it's worth observing.
Recognized states across the region should take note: Ensuring day to day services reach the public is a tool of a universal language and creed, which fosters legitimacy and support … and even good will if the providers aren't too murderous.
For most people, from one day to the next, it's all about the quality and effectiveness of governance at the smallest and most local level. Everything is else is just world politics.
Theoretical maximum sphere of ISIS control as of September 4 2014, via Wikimedia 3 weeks before US airstrikes began in Syria. Keep in mind that control was and is tenuous in outlying desert village areas and limited to major thoroughfares/cities in many areas. There has been considerable debate over how to map the situation more accurately.

Hello everyone!! I hope everyone had a great weekend and is looking forward to going back to work. Me? I had a great weekend but I am not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. I guess most of are not.
My wife is off all week next week for spring break. I'd like to take off with her but I'm trying to save my time just in case I have to go back to the hospital. If I have time I'll take two weeks either in June or July to go on vacation with my family. I could save my time and just get paid for it when I retire but my kids would be able to get out of school in August when I do retire.
This weekend was spent in my backyard doing some pruning. I've let my backyard go for several years because simply I haven't felt like doing any type of yard work. So now I'm paying for it. Shrubs have grown into trees so I'm back there with an electric chainsaw cutting everything down and dragging it to the street. The chainsaw is only good for about two hours and as luck would have it, that's about how long I can last without taking some sort of a break. I got a lot done this weekend but I've still got a lot more to do. Here's an aerial view of my backyard. Too bad I don't have a before picture so you can see what I've done.
There's an area just to the right and behind the white truck that I've cleaned out and to the right and behind the large bush directly behind the deck. I've cut down the large bush after this picture was taken. The brush people will not be happy with me when they come and pick up the pile. It's enormous.
My meds never came this weekend. I guess a call to my oncologist will be in order for tomorrow.
As I sit here tonight, they are predicting severe weather for tomorrow evening. The biggest threat is north Alabama but they include large hail, strong winds, and a few strong tornados. I can handle the severe thunderstorms but tornados is another thing. I'm still not over the tornado outbreak of 2011 that wiped out nearly half of our town and killed eleven people in our community.
What I'm also doing is putting together a few videos that I've created. Most of which have been taken to try and boost the city's morale. We have several city FaceBook pages and each one of them consist of negativity about our community. We lost a lot of homes and families right after the tornado. With these homes destroyed, many of which were never rebuilt and the families moved out. With that said, we lost a lot of tax money. Our city doesn't have the money for a lot of the upkeep and people are complaining about the trash, businesses closing, and crime. What I'm trying to do is post these videos on these pages showing what we have to be proud of; A nice athletic complex, a nice school, a storm shelter, etc.
During the tornado of 2011, we thought we had lost the brand new school. Some kids and I were on a bus with the band heading to Orlando for a school trip when the tornado hit. There were all sorts of rumors that told of the school burning, people lying on the ground dead and many other stories. Most of which were true but the school did not catch on fire.
The tornado hit about a half a mile from the school and the athletic complex. Like I said, a lot of rumors floated around and we were happy that we didn't lose either of these landmarks. My house was also spared thankfully. The athletic complex is one of the jewels of our community. Between the complex and our park (I don't have a video of it as of yet), the kids of our community wouldn't have a place to go and play. My kids were fortunate to be able to spend a great deal of time at the park and they couldn't wait to go and play in the creek.
I think we take for granted these places that our city has supplied for us. We always focus on the negativity instead of the positive. I'm really hoping these storms that are predicted for tomorrow will pass us by. I'm really hoping!! I'll let you guys know how we faired tomorrow night.
Oncologist Update: Because of some miscommunications with the insurance company, go figure, I have not been approved to be on my new medicine yet. I may end up walking the paperwork to the department myself if they keep losing it. Anyway, it's been six weeks or more since I've had any CML meds and we, more so me than the doctor it seems, are starting to get a little concerned that my numbers might get a little high. If the insurance company approves the meds, it could take up to three weeks before my meds arrive. Nothing to do but wait. But, as luck would have it, the representative for the new drug was there in his office. He gave my doctor a card for a free 30 day supply which should arrive by Tuesday of next week. This should give my insurance company time to process my approval for this drug.
Bloodwork. It's been six weeks since my last lab. My last one wasn't good at all. Every one of my numbers was either very high or very low. Yesterday's numbers were normal for the most part. This was in large part the effect of the drug I was on. The side effects just made my daily life impossible to deal with.
New Drug: Bosulif is the name of the new drug. Right now I've been on two of the most common and there are only a few left that is approved by the FDA. Thanks to Karen Davis-Hudson she eased my mind about some of the side effects that were mentioned in the insert. However, Karen, I think you mentioned that 1/10 developed fluid retention, my doctor said 4/10. Not that much of a difference. The other side effects I think I can handle.
The Good News: The doctor and I both agree that the fluid in my lungs is gone and we're going to have a positive attitude that it will not return and that this medicine will be the last one I have to be on because this one will work. I can breathe, my color is back and most importantly, I feel good. So much so, that if the weather holds, I'm going to try to get my bicycle out one day this weekend.
This is all due to all the prayers that have been lifted up for me and my family. Thank you so much.
I remember going to these things when my boy was in cub scouts. I would always end up working on the car because he would never do it the way I wanted him to do it. We had fun working together anyway. It was a good time for us. He was at the, what I would like to call, the fun age. We would always find something to do together. He loved the scouts as did I. This gave us a wonderful opportunity to be together plus it gave him an opportunity for him to be around kids his own age. I really miss those days. He's grown now, moved out of the house not long ago and into an apartment not far from here.
Boy Scouts has changed somewhat since I was a boy scout those many years ago. One thing that hasn't changed is the program and what they have to offer. You may not like what's happened within the past few years, neither do I in some aspects but there's one thing they still offer, and that's a program that keeps the boys out of trouble and in doing so they have the opportunity to learn something.
I digress. This article was supposed to be about the Pinewood Derby which was held yesterday. Eighteen cars were entered from all over our district. Nearly all the boys won some sort of trophy. They had to win their division just be able to race their car in this race so they had to win something before they got there. Everyone had a great time. Hope you enjoy the video.
Today I got the news that a co-worker passed away. We were kind of expecting it but still, nonetheless. He's had kidney problems most of his adult life and has had two transplants. This wasn't what he died of though. He had a stroke during Christmas and never really got over it. He's had several mini strokes since then. He left his daughter of 21 years.
This was the third one in about a month. My 80-year-old aunt died from complications from diabetes, my bothers mother in law died from bone cancer and now my co-worker. I hope this will be the last one for a while.
My health has steadily improved over the past several months with the exception of a sciatic nerve pain issue in my right hip. I've been dealing with it since right before Christmas. It has gotten better but I did end up getting a pain block this past Friday. Not sure if it worked or not.
A couple of nights before Christmas, one of my daughters and I had a fallen out. Because of my health there were some changes made with my job. One of which was a huge pay cut. This daughter of mine loves to go out and shop when ever she's home. I've tried talking to her about my job status but it still didn't matter. I cut lose on her, which I now regret. I left the house upset, jumped into my truck and didn't make it far before I parked into a parking lot and lost it. I guess it had been building up for a long time and I just couldn't hold it in any longer. I'm doing better now I guess. I haven't had an episode like that since but I do miss my girls tremendously when they're away at school.
Got plans to start riding my bicycle next week. Found a couple of small groups that don't go too far and are easy rides. I think I'll do better riding with someone else verses riding by myself at least till my health really improves.
It's been over a month since I've been in the hospital. I count that as a good thing. I'm still very fatigued, short of breath, these nitro patches are giving me headaches and I get fairly dizzy when I stand up from a sitting position but other than that I'm feeling pretty good. I have all my kids home at least for a little while so that's making me real happy.
I started back on my CML meds last Monday and to be honest I think my breathing has gotten a little worse. I've started climbing the steps at work a little more and trying to maintain at least 10,000 steps in a day. I spoke at length to my oncologist last Monday the day I started back on my Sprycell and he told me that the majority of the people who end up with water retention will do better at a lower dosage. I'm now at 80 mg instead of the 100mg that I was once on.
I've decided not to just sit at home waiting to see if my lungs will fill back up with fluid. I don't really feel like getting out and doing anything but I feel that I've at least got to try and get what little exercise that I can get. I think it could only help matters if I get off the couch and do something.
Yesterday, my wife and I met our son at the university where my daughters are attending. They're both in the band, one plays the sax and the other is a band manager. Yesterday was their parent preview show. It was awesome seeing my daughter's perform. I got to meet one of their roommates and enjoyed going out to dinner afterwards. As usual it was hard for us to leave after visiting with them.
Today I went to my parents house to check on them as well as my bees. It's been at least two months since I've done either one. The bee yard was grown up with weeds and it took everything I had to use my weedeater to chop down the weeds just so I could get to the beehive. After about an hour of cleaning up I went and sat with my parents for a couple of hours.
It was hard to leave my parents. They are both getting up in age and their health is not as good as it used to be. My mom had to have more surgery a couple of weeks ago on her diaphragm due to finding a hole where her colon and her intestine were coming through. The doctors seem to think that this was caused by the accident they had back in February.
The above picture is of the band managers. The young lady is my daughter. What a trooper.

The psychological profile of Shan Shalin is atypical of Argelians. While non-violent and friendly by most standards, Shan lacks the wholely pacifistic and hedonistic nature characteristic of Argelian Society. He has a clear sense of duty, ambition, and an acceptance of violent action in response to aggression. Among his home society this would result in constant conflict. However: within the Academy instructors found him inteligent, obedient, and eager to please. Councelors noted that he would be ill-suited for command or a department chief assignment, but would be an outstanding subordinate.

Edwin Felix Thomas Atkinson (Írország, Tipperary, 1840. szeptember 6. – India, Kalkutta, 1890. szeptember 15.) ír entomológus, a Magyar Tudományos Akadémia tiszteleti tagja.

Pályája
Tanulmányait a dublini egyetemen végezte, ahol kitüntették kelta, szanszkrit és héber nyelvi tanulmányaiért. Indiai szolgálatra jelentekezett, benyújtott pályázatában nyelvészeti hajlama, különösen a szanszkrit és az angol irodalomban való jártassága biztosította számára az első helyet. 1863 elején utazott Indiába, ahol előbb mint bíró, később pénzügyi és közigazgatási területen dolgozott. Végigjárta szinte az összes hivatali beosztást, melyet a közszolgálat munkásaként elfoglalhatott. Végül Bombayban, azután Kalkuttában lett a pénzügyi ellenőrző hivatal főnöke.

Nagy számú becses munkája jelent meg az indiai jog és gazdaság tárgykörében. Elsősorban azonban entomológusként ismert, kiemelkedőek az entomologia körébe vágó munkái ("Indian Hemiptera", "Indian Homoptera").

Atkinsont 1888-ban választották a Magyar  Tudományos Akadémia tiszteleti tagjává.
