Furthermore, Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica, Lucifer) has joined the cast for the upcoming third season.
Holly Sorenson created the drama. She executive produces with Channing Tatum, Jenna Dewan, Adam Shankman, Jennifer Gibgot, Erik Feig and Bill Brown. Lionsgate Television produces.
"The latest installment of Step Up not only reimagines the entire franchise but is filled with high energy, lots of heart and electrifying dance moves, and we're very excited to reunite the talented cast and creative teams for another great season," said Kevin Beggs, Chairman, Lionsgate Television Group. "This collaboration underscores our ability to work successfully across our businesses to supply premium content to Starz."
"Holly and her team have created a new and dynamic iteration of the series that captures the hallmarks that have made the Step Up franchise so successful and elevates the storytelling for the premium, global audience," added Christina Davis, Head of Originals, Starz.

Pahang River or ("Sungai Pahang" in Malay) is a river in the state of Pahang, Malaysia on the Malay Peninsula. With 459 km in length, it is the longest river on the Malay Peninsula. The river begins at the confluence of Jelai and Tembeling rivers on the Titiwangsa Mountains and drains into the South China Sea.
River course
From the mountainous upper reaches of Mount Tahan (2187 m) or locally called Gunung Tahan, it meanders in a south-easterly direction, passing Kuala Lipis, Temerloh, Chenor, Mengkarak and turning east at Lepar into the floodplain of Pekan, Kuala Pahang and drains in the South China Sea.
The banks of Pahang River was settled as early as 1400 by warriors and seafarers from around the Malay Archipelago such as Aceh, Riau, Palembang and Sulawesi, forming settlements. The earliest historical records of Pahang River, the riverine habitants or the people of Pahang were found in the Sejarah Melayu (Malay Annals) and Hikayat Munshi Abdullah.
Transportation in the early days
In the old days, Pahang River and Muar River were nearly connected at a place called Jempol, in Negeri Sembilan. This was because the Serting River flows into the Bera River, a tributary of the Pahang River. Jempol River flows into Muar River. Trading boats from River Muar could continue their journey until they reach Kuala Pahang in Pekan, or Kuala Lipis to continue into Terengganu, Kelantan or Perak.
At Jalan Penarikan, the locals help will be required to pull the boats overland. The distance is about 300 meters and because of the pulling of boats overland, the route is named "Penarikan", which is the Malay word for "pulling".
Jalan Penarikan could have been discovered in the 14th century, way before the days of Malacca Empire. The Arab merchants were actively trading as well as spreading Islam. When Malacca was discovered, they came to Malacca for trade and at the same time; the Pasai came to Malacca too to acquire their daily sundries. Coincidently, these are the same group of people whom they spread the religion to. The Arabs complained to the Pasai about the trials and tribulations of trading in Siam because of the arduous journey through the Straits of Malacca, then on the Straits of Terbrau before they can continue the voyage through the South China Sea towards their destination in Siam. This voyage which take weeks is extremely lengthy and difficult. After listening to the grouses of the Arab merchants, the Pasai revealed that there was a short cut where they could avoid the arduous voyage.
However, they have to pull their boats off shore for a kilometer or so. Learning of this, the Arabs endeavoured to try out this route. One day, the Pasai show this route to the Arabs. First, they sailed from Malacca along the Muar River to reach Jempol River, where they have to pull the boats on shore for a short distance to get into the Serting River. They then continue their journey along the Bera River to arrive at Kuala Tahan from which they proceeded to the South China Sea and finally to their destination in Siam. The Arabs discovered that even though they have to go on land for a part of the journey, it was very much shorter. So from that day onwards, they decided to use this route and Jalan Penarikan became famous ever since.
Jalan Penarikan played a vital role in the military operations between Siam and Malacca. Using this route, the Siamese have launched many attacks against Malacca. A troop was sent to make an ambush. Half of the troop stayed near Jalan Penarikan as backup and the other half attacked Malacca. However, the backup group has another mission, they have to dig a big canal measuring 30 feet by 20 feet in depth, so that they could connect the two rivers, Jempol and Serting River.
A leader of the Thai Army was later buried near Jalan Penarikan. The tombstone was believed to have been transported all the way from Thailand. The Siamese leader's grave could still be found near Jalan Penarikan. One interesting feature of the tombstone is that the year depicted was 1265.
Jalan Penarikan has also witnessed many significant events in history. The famous Malaccan warrior Hang Tuah, while on the run with Tun Teja, used Jalan Penarikan to flee to Pahang. The last Sultan of Malacca, Sultan Mahmud Shah, after the conquest of Malacca by the Portuguese had also used Jalan Penarikan to escape to Pahang.
In the year 1613, a Portuguese officer wrote that he took a boat from the River Muar to the Pekan, in Pahang and the journey took him six days. A map produced in 1598 showed that the Muar River and the Pahang River is connected at a place which is now called Serting, in Jempol Negeri Sembilan.
The Pahang River - Muar River route is a safer route to the South China Sea or to the Straits of Malacca, because there were no disturbances and threats of piracy that reign the seas.
Apart from that there were also signs of trading activities, whereby goods changed hands at this point. These means the boats from Pahang with the produce they carry stopped here, transact and pick up goods that are east bound and return back to Pahang. Similarly, boats from Muar, bringing goods from Malacca and Singapore were brought to Penarikan, where barter trade occurred.
Historical Sites of Pahang River
Many historical sites can be found along Pahang River. Among the sites is Makam Lubuk Pahang. This tomb is situated near to Kampung Jeranggang. This burial site consists of the tombs of Sultan Abdul Jamil, Datuk Budiman and Puteri Buluh Betong, the consort of Sultan Abdul Jamil. Their death were associated with attacks from Aceh in 1617. Sultan Abdul Jamil and Datuk Budiman were killed by Seri Mahkota Alam from Aceh. The bodies of Sultan Abdul Jamil and Datuk Budiman were buried side by side with their heads facing the Pahang River. Sultan Abdul Jamil's tomb is on the right whereas Datuk Budiman is on the left of the Sultan's tomb. Puteri Buluh Betong was buried at the foot of their tombs.
A fortress and a castle, which was mentioned in "Sejarah Melayu", described as Kota Biram or Kota Pahang (Buyong Adli 1984, 26), was completely destroyed. On that site, a building for the British Resident was erected. It was later converted into a palace for the Sultan. Now it is the Sultan Abu Bakar Muzium.
Environmental History: Pahang River was connected with Thailand, Vietnam and Borneo
During the Pleistocene epoch or Mesolithic period about 10,000 years ago, there was a 5 degrees Celsius drop in the global temperature. At mountaintops, rainfall as snow and accumulated as huge icy sheets (including Mount Kinabalu), thus making a break in the global hydrological cycle. Due to lack of water discharge into the sea, there was a 120-meter drop of sea levels from the present time. The South China Sea dried up, exposing the Sunda Shelf and previous deep trenches became huge ancient rivers called the North Sunda River.
Asian Mainland, Malay Peninsular, Sumatra and Java became connected to Borneo via the landbridge of exposed Sunda Shelf. The North Sunda River provided vital connection to Mekong River in Vietnam and Chao Phraya River in Thailand to the north, Baram and Rajang rivers in Sarawak to the east and Pahang River and Rompin River to the west of the massive land mass. Freshwater catfishes from those rivers migrated and mated to exchange their genetic materials about 10,000 years ago. Thus, after the Holocene, when the temperature increased, the landbridges and Sunda River were inudated and the catfish populations were isolated. However, their genetic motives are still in the DNA as an evidence of the previous connections of Pahang River to other isolated rivers in Indochina and Borneo.
Towns along the river
Jerantut is 15 km from the confluence of Jelai river and Tembeling River. Temerloh is situated on the confluence between Semantan River and Pahang River. The town of Pekan, which is Pahang's royal town, is situated on the southern bank of the river,near the river mouth.
The last Expatriate by Neil J Ryan on Sungei
pg 7-8: "We travelled by train with the rest of the battalion from Kluang via Kuala Lumpur to Mentakab which was to be the new battalion HQ. D Company was based at Temerloh where we took a row of new shop-houses which was built, overlooking the River Pahang. Here all the rifle platoons were living together and we were all now integrated into the company structure. The free and easy life of the estate living is now over - we were back in the army again. (Though this was not a spit and polish army). Pahang was much less developed part of Malaya than Johore. The latter had a good road network whereas in Pahang the main transport is based on railway and the river. At that time there was no bridge across River at Temerloh and the other side was dearth of roads. The other important difference in operational terms was that Temerloh was where the first Malay branch of the Malayan Communist Party had been established and Pahang was alleged to be the base of the only ethnic Malay regiment in the communist force - the remainder in the rest of the country, were still almost entirely Chinese. Our task was to keep Wan Ali and his colleagues under control and if possible eliminate them. Their territory was across the river from our shop houses well into the jumgle behind the kampongs(village) which stretched along the river bank. The other main change was in the way the battalion now began to operate. With six months 'sort of' jungle warfare experience we were now expected to spend a great deal more time in the jungle. The days of the short four- hour patrol were now over and we were obliged to spend up (to) a week away from base, The aim was for us to seek out and attack bandit camps, to lay in wait and ambush CT couriers and patrols and to be as expert in the jungle as they were. I don't believe we were but we certainly tried hard! It was hard work as the jungle was not a friendly place."

On the site that was Ripe Tomato (RIP), James Gummer's (former maître d' at The Wolseley) popular yearling is praised as "a neighbourhood spot that has it all": a "monthly changing", "short-but-impossible-to-choose-from menu" and an ambience "like going to a friend's house and being left to do what you want in the privacy of your own table".

I watched the film version of Misery in those antediluvian days before Goodreads, hell, before the Internet, and decided to finally read the novel when it showed up on my BookGorilla email one day. It was $2.99 very well spent.
Misery is a tale of obsession, addiction, and obsession. I wrote "obsession" twice but it's a such a big theme I thought it was justified. Annie Wilkes is obsessed with her favorite series of books starring Misery Chastain, written by that dirty birdie Paul Sheldon. Paul is obsessed with finishing the book Annie has demanded of him and probably addicted to writing. Also to codeine.
I've said it before but I'll say it again. If Stephen King wasn't addicted to scaring the bodily fluids out of people, he'd be a literary writer of some renown. The guy can flat out write. Just because he cranks out a best seller more often than most of us go to the dentist doesn't mean he's the real deal.
The scariest horror stories are the ones that could actually happen and Misery is one of those. Who among us hasn't had visions of being held captive when driving through a remote locale? Annie is so much more than the scene-chewing maniac she could have been. She has dimension and believes she's in the right, which is the mark of a great villain. Her background is very fleshed out and my heart sank as I learned her past along with Paul. How the hell was he going to escape that monster?
Paul's journey is painful, both to him and to the reader, thanks to King's skill. I had to make sure my foot was still attached a couple times. Annie puts him through hell and he finally gives her a taste of her own medicine but the ending is far from happily ever after.
As is usually the case, the book was a notch better than the movie. I've been easy with the 5's this year but I'll give this one a cockadoodie 5 out of 5 stars just the same.

Maximiani Portas, más conocida por su nombre posterior Savitri Devi (Lyon; 30 de septiembre de 1905 - Sible Hedingham; 22 de octubre de 1982), fue una fascista de origen griego, simpatizante nazi y espía que sirvió a las potencias del Eje cometiendo actos de espionaje contra las fuerzas aliadas en la India. Posteriormente, fue un miembro destacado del movimiento neonazi durante la década de 1960.Fue una de las fundadoras de la Unión Mundial de Nacionalsocialistas.

Savitri era partidaria de una síntesis del hinduismo y el nazismo, proclamando que Adolf Hitler era un avatar del dios hindú Vishnu. Describía a Hitler como un sacrificio por la humanidad que conduciría al fin de la peor era del Mundo, el Kali Yuga, que ella creía inducido por los judíos, a quienes veía como los poderes del mal.

Sus escritos han influido en el neonazismo y el ocultismo nazi. Rechazando el judeocristianismo, creía en una forma de monismo panteísta; un único cosmos de la naturaleza compuesto por energía-materia divina. Dentro del neonazismo, promovió el ocultismo, la ecología y el movimiento de la Nueva Era, y más contemporáneamente, ha influido en la Derecha alternativa. En 1982, el neonazi italiano Franco Freda publicó una traducción al alemán de su libro Gold in the Furnace, y el cuarto volumen de su revista anual, Risguardo (1980–) estaba dedicado a Savitri Devi como "misionera del paganismo ario".

Biografía
Nació en Lyon, Francia, el 30 de septiembre de 1905, hija de un francés con ancestros griegos e italianos y de una inglesa. Maximiani visitó Grecia por primera vez en 1923; volvería a Grecia en 1926 y en 1928 renunció a la nacionalidad francesa, adquiriendo la griega.
Se trasladó en la década de 1930 a la India, donde se acercó al hinduismo, adoptó el nombre de Savitri Devi, y contrajo matrimonio en 1940 con un nacionalista indio filonazi, Brahmin Asit Krishba Mukherji. En una búsqueda de unas raíces espirituales y raciales del «arianismo» se manifestó en contra de la herencia judeocristiana.

Tras el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial volvió a Europa, y llevó a cabo una militancia neonazi. Se interesó en Islandia por el odinismo y el panteón nórdico, para posteriormente ser detenida y encarcelada seis meses en Alemania. En 1958 publicó Lightning and the Sun, donde expuso su pensamiento esotérico;
veía en Adolf Hitler a un avatar de Visnú, un ejemplo de «hombre contra el tiempo» previo a la reencarnación de Kalki.

Devi, que fue una fuente de inspiración para el movimiento neonazi, se carteó en la década de 1960 con Lincoln Rockwell, líder del Partido Nazi Americano. Falleció el 22 de octubre de 1982 en Sible Hedingham (Reino Unido), sin dinero.

David Howell Petraeus (Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, 1952. november 7. –) amerikai tábornok, a CIA volt igazgatója.

Élete
David Howell Petraeus 1952. november 7-én született az Egyesült Államokban, a New York állambeli Cornwall-on-Hudson városban. Anyja, Miriam, könyvtáros volt. Apja, Sixtus Petraeus, aki a második világháború kezdetén vándorolt be az USA-ba Hollandiából, kapitányként dolgozott teherszállító hajókon az Atlanti-óceánon.

A középiskola után Petraeus a West Point katonai akadémián tanult. Itt ismerkedett meg későbbi feleségével, Holly Knowltonnal, az akadémia parancsnokának, William Knowlton tábornoknak a lányával. Petraeus kiváló eredménnyel végzett 1974-ben. A következő évben megházasodott.

1982-83-ban a kansasi Fort Leavenworthben a fegyveres erők vezérkari főiskoláján tanult. Ezután két évig a Princetoni Egyetemen MA fokozatot szerzett a nemzetközi kapcsolatok szakon, majd visszatért a West Pointra, ahol doktori fokozatot szerzett, szintén nemzetközi kapcsolatokból. Doktori disszertációjának témája az irreguláris alakulatok elleni harc volt a vietnámi háborúban.

1991-ben súlyosan megsebesült, amikor egy hadgyakorlaton egy katona megbotlott, akaratlanul elsütötte a fegyverét, és mellkason találta Petraeust. Érdekesség, hogy a Petraeus életét megmentő műtétet Bill Frist későbbi szenátor és republikánus frakcióvezető végezte. 2001-ben újabb súlyos baleset érte, amikor egy rosszul sikerül ejtőernyős ugrás során medencecsonttörést szenvedett.

Az iraki háború során rendkívül gyorsan ívelt felfelé a karrierje. Az invázió idején a 101. légi szállítású hadosztály parancsnoka volt, először Bagdadban, később pedig Kurdisztánban. 2007-ben már az egész hadszíntér az ő parancsnoksága alatt állt. Petraeus nevéhez fűződik az a sikeres "surge" stratégia, amely a lakosság jóindulatának megnyerése mellett a katonai jelenlét ideiglenes de igen jelentős megnövelésére támaszkodva győzte le a gerillamódszerekkel küzdő felkelőket.

2008-ban Petraeus lett a Központi Parancsnokság vezetője. 2010-ben az afganisztáni hadszíntér parancsnoka lett. 2011 augusztusában leszerelt, és a CIA igazgatója lett. 2012 novemberében váratlanul lemondott, miután kiderült, hogy megcsalta a feleségét.

Felesége, Holly Petraeus a Pénzügyi Fogyasztóvédelmi Hivatal magas rangú tisztviselője: a katonák és veteránok fogyasztóvédelméért felelős igazgatóság vezetője. Két felnőtt gyermekük van: Anne és Stephen. Stephen Petraeus maga is katonatiszt. 2009-ben a tábornok egy kongresszusi meghallgatáson megemlítette, hogy fia kevéssel korábban tért vissza az afganisztáni szolgálatból.

Katonai pályafutása

1970-es évek

Az akadémia elvégzése után 1974-ben gyalogsági elitkiképzést kapott a Ranger School-ban, majd az olaszországi Vicenzában állomásozó 509. légiszállítású gyalogezredhez vezényelték. Petraeus katonai pályafutását is a gyalogsági alakulatok jellemezték, amelyet csak időnként szakítottak meg vezérkari, gépesített lövész vagy oktatási intézménybe történő kinevezések. Az 509. ezred után az immár főhadnagy Petraeust Amerikába vezényelték, a Georgia állambeli Fort Stewart támaszponton állomásozó 24. gépesített lövészhadosztály 2. dandárjának törzséhez került. 1979-ben ugyanennél a hadosztálynál 19. gépesített lövészezred 2. zászlóaljában az Alpha század parancsnokának nevezték ki. Miután századossá léptették elő, a 2. zászlóalj törzsében hadműveleti tiszt lett.

1980-as évek
1981-ben Petraeus a 24. gépesített lövészhadosztály parancsnokának szárnysegédje lett. A rákövetkező években katonai és polgári tanulmányokat folytatott: 1982-83-ban a Kansas állambeli Fort Leavenworth-ben található vezérkari iskolára járt. 1983-ban évfolyamelsőként végzett és megnyerte a George C. Marshall-díjat. 1983-86 között a Princetoni Egyetem hallgatója volt, majd 1985-87 között visszatért West Pointra, ahol egy ideig tanított is. Doktori fokozatának megszerzése után Petraeus visszatért a hadsereghez: John Galvin tábornok, a Szövetséges Erők Európai Főparancsnoksága parancsnokának asszisztense lett. Ezt követte kinevezése a 3. gépesített lövészhadosztályhoz, ahol hadműveleti tiszt volt, majd pedig Washington, D.C.-be vezényelték, ahol az amerikai hadsereg vezérkari főnökének, Carl Vuono tábornoknak volt a szárnysegédje.

1990-es évek
Alezredesi előléptetése után Petraeus elhagyta a vezérkart és a Kentucky állambeli Fort Campbell-ben állomásozó 101. légi szállítású hadosztály 187. ejtőernyős gyalogezred 3. zászlóaljának parancsnoka lett 1991-93 között. Ekkor került sor élete egyik legdrámaibb eseményére: 1991-ben egy éleslövészet alkalmával egyik katonája megbotlott, M-16 típusú karabélya elsült és mellkason lőtte Petraeust. A Tennessee állambeli Nashville-ben található University Medical Centerbe szállították, ahol a későbbi szenátor, Bill Frist operálta. Néhány nappal az operáció után már olyan jól volt, hogy ötven fekvőtámaszt nyomott pihenés nélkül és elbocsátották a kórházból.

1993-94 között Petraeus a 101. hadosztály kiképzésért, tervezésért és hadműveletekért felelős helyettes vezérkari főnöke volt. 1995-ben kinevezték a haiti kormány megdöntésére irányuló puccs visszaverésére és a törvényes kormány helyreállítására irányuló ENSZ-hadművelet (Operation Uphold Democracy) vezérkarához hadműveleti tisztnek. 1995-9 között a 82. légi szállítású hadosztály 1. dandárjának volt parancsnoka. Ebben az időszakban írt alakulatának kiképzéséről Tom Clancy az Airborne című könyvében. 1997-99 között visszakerült Washingtonba, ahol az Egyesített Vezérkar igazgatójának (később vezérkari főnökének), Henry Shelton tábornoknak volt asszisztense. 1999-ben már mint dandártábornok került vissza a 82. hadosztályhoz hadműveletekért felelős parancsnokhelyettesként, majd ideiglenesen a parancsnoki tisztet is betöltötte. A 82. hadosztállyal szolgált Kuvaitban az Operation Desert Spring hadművelet keretében.

2000 után
A 82. hadosztály után 2000-2001-ben a XVIII. légiszállítású hadtest vezérkari főnökeként szolgált. 2000-ben szenvedte el élete második nagy sérülését: egy szabadidős ejtőernyős ugrás során alacsony magasságban az ernyő összeomlott és Petraeus medencecsontja összetört a földetéréskor. Felépülése után, 2001-ben javasolták előléptetését vezérőrnaggyá. 2001-2002-ben 10 hónapig Bosznia-Hercegovinában szolgált az Operation Joint Forge keretében, ahol a NATO SFOR helyettes vezérkari főnöke, illetve az amerikai Egyesített Antiterrorista Harccsoport (U.S. Joint Interagency Counter-Terrorism Task Force)helyettes parancsnoka volt. 2004-ben előléptették altábornaggyá, majd 2007-ben négycsillagos tábornokká.

2008. április 23-án jelentette be Robert Gates amerikai védelmi miniszter, hogy George W. Bush elnök Petraeust kinevezte a floridai Tampában található Központi Parancsnokság (U.S. Central Command, CENTCOM) élére. Kinevezését 2010. június 30-án hagyta jóvá az amerikai törvényhozás felső háza.

Központi Parancsnokság (2008–2010)
A Központi Parancsnokság parancsnokaként Petraeus az Egyiptom és Pakisztán közötti, 20 országot felölelő térségben folyó amerikai katonai hadműveletek legfőbb irányítója lett, beleértve az iraki és afganisztáni háborút is. A terroristaellenes hadműveletekre vonatkozóan Petraeus egy új irányvonalat szorgalmazott, mert nem tartotta elegendőnek az antiterrorista különleges erők bevetését, hanem átfogóbb, katonai és politikai erőforrásokat is mozgósító megközelítést javasolt. Egy 2009-es interjújában kifejtette, hogy támogatja Obama elnök afganisztáni rendezési elképzelését és kifejtette, hogy a hétköznapi emberek szintjén is szükség van a megbékélésre.

2009 augusztusában létrehozott egy afgán-pakisztáni hírszerzési kompetenciaközpontot (Afghanistan-Pakistan Center of Excellence), amelyenek az lett a feladata, hogy a CENTCOM felelősségi körébe tartozó afganisztáni és pakisztáni amerikai hadműveleteket összehangolt, integrált és fókuszált hírszerzési információkkal és elemzésekkel támogassa.

2010 márciusában egy szenátusi meghallgatás során azt nyilatkozta, hogy a folytatódó izraeli-paleszin konfliktus veszélyt jelent az Egyesült Államok térségbeli érdekei számára és az Izraelnek nyújtott amerikai támogatás Amerika-ellenes érzelmeket kelt. Kijelentését széles körben idézték és elemezték. Egy későbbi interjúban Petraeus azt mondta, hogy nyilatkozatát "ízekre szedték és felforgatták", mivel szerinte számos akadály van még a közel-keleti béke útjában, beleértve "egy csomó szélsőséges szervezetet, amelyek közül néhány tagadja Izrael állam létezéshez való jogát. Van egy, atomprogrammal rendelkező ország, amely tagadja a Holokausztot. Szóval van jópár tényező. Ez (azaz Izrael) csak az egyik."

Afganisztán (2010–2011)

2010. június 23-án Obama elnök bejelentette, hogy az afganisztáni amerikai erők parancsnoki posztjára nevezte ki Petraeust a távozó Stanley McChrystal tábornok után. A parancsnokváltást McChrystal tábornoknak az Obama-adminisztrációra és afganisztáni politikájára tett megjegyzései váltották ki, amelyeket a  Rolling Stone magazinnak adott interjúban tett. A kinevezést elvileg visszalépést jelentett Petraeusnak, aki így a Központi Parancsnokság alárendeltje lett, de Obama szerint "ő a legmegfelelőbb ember a posztra". Szenátusi megerősítése után július 4-én vette át az irányítást.

Augusztus 1-jén kiadta első harcászati direktíváját, amely az amerikai csapatok számára útmutatást adott a polgári áldozatok megelőzésére a hadműveletek során. A direktíva lényegét "az erő fegyelmezett alkalmazása az afgán fegyveres erőkkel való együttműködésben" adja a felkelőkkel vívott harc során.

2011 márciusában Petraeus bocsánatot kért az afgánoktól, miután egy helikopterrel végrehajtott támadás során 9 fiú meghalt és egy tizedik megsérült. Nyilatkozatában Petraeus bocsánatot kért az afgán kormány tagjaitól, az afgán néptől és az áldozatok hozzátartozóitól, mondván: Ezek a halálesetek soha nem következhettek volna be. 2011. július 18-án mondott le parancsnoki tisztségéről és visszatért az Egyesült Államokba.

Leszerelése és polgári pályafutása

Petraeus 2011. augusztus 31-én szerelt le a hadseregtől, miután 2011 áprilisában Obama elnök kinevezte a Központi Hírszerző Ügynökség vezetőjének és június 30-án a szenátus ellenszavazat nélkül megerősítette kinevezését. Petraeus szeptember 8-án előbb a Fehér Házban Obama elnök, majd a CIA langley-i központjában Joe Biden alelnök előtt tette le hivatali esküjét. Elődjéhez (Leon Panetta a védelmi minisztérium élére került) képest Petraeus sokkal visszafogottabb volt, nem adott interjúkat és a kongresszusi bizottságokban is csak zárt ülésen nyilatkozott. Munkastílusuk is különbözött: a New York Times-ban megjelent cikk szerint Panetta jóban volt beosztottjaival és nem figyelt oda a részletekre, míg Petraeus sokkal többet megkövetelt beosztottjaitól és nem habozott még egyszer elvégeztetni a rossz minőségű munkákat vagy kiigazítani a tervek egyes részleteit.

Bár a legtöbb külső elemző jónak minősítette a CIA élén végzett munkáját, 2012 októbere során mégis számos kritika érte a bengázi amerikai konzulátus épületét ért, négy halálos áldozatot követelő támadás után. A kritikusok nagy része azt kifogásolta, hogy a CIA nem hozott nyilvánosságra megbízható információkat a szeptember 11-én végrehajtott támadással kapcsolatban, amelyben életét vesztette Christopher Stevens nagykövet is. A konzulátus épületéből kimenekített több mint 30 személyből csak heten nem dolgoztak a CIA-nak. A támadás éjszakáján Hillary Clinton amerikai külügyminiszter telefonon kért segítséget Petraeustól, mivel a Külügyminisztérium és a CIA nem hangolták össze, hogy kinek a felelőssége a követség biztosítása.

Botránya

Petraeus ismerőse, Steven Boylan szerint 2011 végén kezdődhetett Petraeus és Paula Broadwell között a házasságtörő viszony, de Petraeus és Broadwell már korábban ismerték egymást. Paula Broadwell ekkor Petraeus életrajzi könyvét (All In: The Education of General David Petraeus) írta.

Az állítások szerint 2012 nyarán Petraeus szakított szeretőjével, amikor értesült arról, hogy az fenyegető üzeneteket küldött Jill Kelleynek.

Kelley és férje a floridai Tampa város társasági életében jelentős szerepet töltöttek be, rendszeresen nagy partikat adtak a támaszpont magas rangú tisztjeinek. Kelley a fenyegető üzenetekkel felkereste a helyi FBI iroda egyik alkalmazottját, személyes ismerősét és az Iroda segítségét kérte. Az FBI nyomozói hamarosan kiderítették, hogy Broadwell küldte az e-maileket (az általa használt névtelen e-mail fiókot visszakövették ugyanarra az IP-címre, amit hivatalos levelezésében is használt) és a nyomozóknak az is feltűnt, hogy intim hangú levelezést folytatott egy, Petraeushoz köthető e-mail fiókban. A nyomozók ekkor még arra gyanakodtak, hogy valaki feltörte ezt a fiókot vagy Petraeusnak adta ki magát. A nyomozás feltárta, hogy Petraeus és Broadwell az egymásnak írt leveleket nem küldték el, hanem a Piszkozatok (Drafts) mappában mentették el – ami a terroristák egyik kedvelt módszere a rejtett üzenetváltásra.

Bár Eric Holder főügyészt aránylag hamar, 2012 nyarán tájékoztatták az FBI nyomozás eredményeiről, Petraeus felettese, James R. Clapper nemzeti hírszerzési főnököt csak november 6-án tájékoztatták. Clapper még aznap este felhívta Petraeust és arra kérte, hogy mondjon le. Clapper a rákövetkező napon tájékoztatta a Fehér Házat, de Obama elnök csak november 8-án értesült erről. Ekkor a Fehér Házba rendelte Petraeust, aki felajánlotta lemondását.

David Petraeus 2012. november 8-án Barack Obama amerikai elnöknek írt levelében lemondott. Lemondását az elnök másnap elfogadta.

We weren't really sure what we wanted to get up to on our second day in Sydney, but upon meeting up the night before our friend Doug convinced us we should leave the city center to visit him in the eastern suburbs. He offered to take us on a tour of some of Sydney's best beaches, and we were happy to take him up on that offer.
We took an uber to Doug's seaside neighborhood of Clovelly, where we enjoyed breakfast with an ocean view before heading down to Gordon's Bay to start our exploring for the day. All along the coast in this area of Sydney is a gorgeously maintained coastal walkway. It's in its beaches that Sydney really shines, and I'm so happy that Doug convinced us to come out and see it. Over the course of the day we followed the track almost 6 kilometers from Gordon's Bay to the famous Bondi Beach, enjoying spectacular views the entire way and stopping to beat the heat in the cool blue ocean waters. Sydney had totally stunned me by her beauty from the top of the Harbour Bridge – and here on the coast, she was doing it again.
We hydrated ourselves with drinks overlooking Bondi before heading back to the city center to meet another friend for dinner in the Rocks. This historic neighborhood sits right under the Sydney Harbor bridge and was very picturesque in the humid evening light.
We decided to start our last day in Sydney back at the harbor, where we ate an overpriced breakfast with spectacular views in the shadow of the Sydney Opera House. Then we hoped on the Manly Ferry to see what this other famous beach town had to offer.
The beach at Manly was also very beautiful, but very crowded. It just so happened that there was a massive surf lifesaving competition on on this day, and Tom and I delighted in lazily strolling the beach while the competitors darted in and out of different competitions. Manly was beautiful, but I thought the beaches of the previous day's walks to be more stunning. In any case, the real reason we had boarded the ferry was not really to see Manly. It is on this ferry trip that we were afforded some of the most spectacular views of Sydney and her gorgeous, glimmering harbor.
Before we knew it, it was time to head back to the airport to board our afternoon flight back to Melbourne. I feel so lucky to be so close to such a stunning destination – but also lucky to call Melbourne home instead. For me, 3 days was the perfect amount of time to take in Sydney's sights and sun. It is in fact a gorgeous place, but personally I find it lacked the soul you see in Melbourne. Maybe I'm just bias, but I missed Melbourne's rich food and drink culture, as well as its music and art scene. Sydney seemed so clean compared to Melbourne, and I missed the street art and grunge.
Don't get me wrong, Sydney is an absolute diamond of a city. It was totally stunning and I'm so glad I got to see it. But as we drove past the giant Chuck Norris mural that has recently popped up on our street, I thought to myself how weird Melbourne is, and just how much I like it that way.
We stayed at The Tank Stream Hotel, which was very well located and well priced, and I'm happy to recommend.
We traveled around the city using a mix of public transportation and Uber.
We got our tickets for the Sydney Harbour Bridget climb here, and the Manly ferry at the kiosk in Circular Quay. The coastal walkway we enjoyed starts in Coogee and is free. You can find out more about it here.


Information about missing parts in my e-cigarette vaporizer order.
My order is incomplete or something is missing. Can you help?

These processes have contributed to our industry low defective rate of less than 1% and the highest customer satisfaction in the business!
Please make sure you check everywhere in your package before contacting customer support to pull the packaging slip/video. For example, extra cartridges, batteries, and atomizers are typically placed underneath the foam insert which holds the ProSmoke e-cigarette or inside the box that contains the charger.


There is a fine line between speculation and fact. There is an even finer line between reality and stories.
Reality and fact both work on the basis of the provable, the concrete, the touchable. Stories and speculation are nebulous, driven by imagination and what-ifs, the emotions and the occasional careless bystander.
Reality is not supposed to become a story, and it's most certainly not supposed to place someone in the position of being reborn from one to the other. It's not supposed to force someone to have to figure out in life or death situations to learn speculation from fact.
It's not supposed to do many things, but clearly, the universe is uninterested in supposed to.
There's only one explanation. Team 7. Enough said.
Peace between the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan that later formed Konoha came about another way no one but Madara expected.
What now? (continuation of "Children of War", by peppymint).
What to do when the whole world tells you you're wrong?
Bound by another society's expectations, do you give up your beliefs or fight for the life you want?
It takes a lot to subjugate the clan. It takes even more to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
For as long as Hashirama remembered, no one knew what his actual face looked like. Each and every person he had spoken to about his looks had always described it in a different way.

Uranium in Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyzstan has some uranium deposits and has supplied Russia in the past.
It hosts a uranium mill which has been treating Kazakh uranium ore on a toll basis.
It is the focus of remediation work on legacy uranium tailings in central Asia.
In May 2019 the Kyrgyz Supreme Council voted to ban uranium mining and exploration.
Having been annexed by Russia in 1876, Kyrgyzstan became a Soviet republic in 1936 and achieved independence in 1991. Electricity production in 2018 was 15.5 TWh, of which 92% was from hydro, from 3.6 GWe installed capacity.
The country has a history of uranium mining, but reports no uranium resources today (its last report in the IAEA 'Red Book' was 2002), though the Kamushanovskoye deposit is proposed for development. The State Agency on Geology and Mineral Resources of the Kyrgyz Republic is the public agency that implements policy in the field of subsoil use and the development of the mining industry. The country's Mineral Resources Act was amended in 2014.
The Mailuu-Suu district, in the Jalal-Abad Province in western Kyrgyzstan was a significant uranium mining area in the Soviet era to 1989 where more than 9000 tonnes of uranium was produced between 1946 and 1967 from carbonate ore. The Kara Balta Mining Combine was set up in the 1950s to mine and treat this ore in the north, near Bishkek. After Kyrgyz uranium mining ceased, in 1997 it became a joint stock company, Kara Baltinski Ore Mining & Processing Combine, and in 2007 the 72% state equity was purchased by the Renova Group – see below.
Meanwhile in the Soviet era, the Kyrgyzski Mining Combine was involved in mining in southern Kazakhstan.
New projects and exploration
Azarga Uranium (formerly Powertech), registered in Canada, through its 70% subsidiary UrAsia has the Kyzyl Ompul project 125 km east of Bishkek, a uranium and rare earths lease. The main deposit is Kok Moinok, a hydrothermal deposit discovered in 1953 containing 2900 tU inferred resources (NI 43-101). The Tash Bulak and Backe placer deposits are part of the project, evidently with more resources. In August 2017 Azarga announced that Mining Investment Company Alliance had taken an option to acquire the Kyzyl Ompul project for $7.6 million. This was replaced by the similar earn-in agreement with Central Asian Uranium Co Ltd in April 2018, for $5.9 million cash and obliging it to spend $1.5 million on exploration and development. UrAsia will retain a smelter royalty of up to $5 million. In May 2019 Azarga suspended activities on the project after the parliament voted to ban uranium mining and exploration, and pending clarification of its licence situation.
US-based IMC Invest Inc has a number of deposits including the Kamushanovskoye deposit, with uranium adsorbed onto peat, about 70 km northeast of Kara Balta on the Kazakh border and 48 km north of Bishkek. It proposes a satellite ISL recovery there by alkaline leaching with the loaded resin processed at Kara Balta from 2019, total 2300 tonnes over ten years. Measured and indicated resources are about 2500 tU (JORC compliant). It is also exploring the Jetym black shale deposits several hundred kilometres southeast of Kara Balta, with 48,700 tU in 'prognostic resources' and is working towards JORC-compliant figures.
China's Hebai Mining in 2011 bought from Raisama Ltd the major interest in the Kashkasu project, west of the historic uranium mines, with uranium mineralisation spread over 2.6 km strike length.
Central Asia Mining Co in 2012 had a licence to exploit Kara Balta tailings for uranium and molybdenum.
JSC Kentor has a licence to explore for uranium and other minerals at Bashkol.
Monaro Mining NL based in Australia had eight exploration licences which are prospective for uranium. These projects included Aramsu, Utor, Naryn, Sumsar, Sogul, Djurasay, Hodjaakan, and Gavasai (the last few including base and precious metals). In 2014 the company name became AusROC Metals Ltd and it appeared to be no longer involved with uranium. It was liquidated in 2016.
A number of other companies including ARMZ's Uranium One have been actively exploring for uranium. Nimrodel has leases in the Mailuu-Suu area.
In 2012 the Kyrgyz State Agency for Geology and Mineral Resources issued 18 permits for development of uranium and rare earth metal (REM) deposits and 21 permits for exploration of uranium and REM.
Several of the licences have CIS (Commonwealth Independent States) defined resources. However, these do not conform to JORC or NI 43-101 standards and a significant amount of further work is required before JORC-compliant resource statements can be reported.
In May 2019 the Kyrgyz Supreme Council voted to ban uranium mining and exploration, except for uranium recovery from remediation work on legacy tailings. In December 2019 the President signed into law a ban on geological subsoil surveys related to the prosecuting, exploration and development of uranium and thorium deposits in the country. The law also prohibits the import of uranium and thorium deposits in the country, as well as the import of uranium in any form, effectively terminating the Kara Balta mill.
Uranium mill
The Kara Balta mining plant (KBMP), a hydrometallurgical plant, was built in 1951 on the Chu River near Bishkek to treat uranium ore from two Kyrgyz deposits (Kadji-Sai and Kavak) to 1989 and four Kazakh deposits (including Stepnoye and Tsentral) to 2005, and at its peak contributed 20% of USSR's uranium production. It also treated molybdenum ores and gold ores, and produced other metals and barite.
The JSC Kara Baltinski Ore Mining & Processing Combine (KMPC) has most recently been processing and calcining uranium product from Kazakhstan's Zarechnoye joint venture at the refurbished Kara Balta mill. Uranium dioxide is apparently the product. The Kyrgyz government holds a 0.66% share in that JV. It accepted a tender from UralPlatina Holdings, a subsidiary of Russian resources investment group, Renova, for its 72.28% stake in the Kara Baltinski company in March 2007. The €1.8 million price was less than half the earlier asking price, but it ended a four-year shutdown. The company, now apparently the Kara Balta Mining Enterprise (KGRK), struck an agreement in October 2008 with the Kazakh-based Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) to provide $150 million to develop the mill and properly emplace 50 years of tailings accumulation at Kara Balta. At the time the tailings were thought to contain up to 11,000 tU. However, they are very heterogeneous, posing a major metallurgical challenge.
Kara Balta then contracted with Russian-Kazakh Zarechnoye JV and Kazatomprom in Kazakhstan for toll milling. The mill resumed uranium production in August 2007 and has increased annual production from about 800 tonnes of uranium to 2574 tU in 2009, exceeding for the first time historic output levels. In 2013 it produced 948 tU and in 2014, 1945 tU. This production is all counted as Kazakh. About 930 tU/yr comes from Zarechnoye JV, 400 km west. In July 2014 KGRK sought 2500-3000 tonnes of concentrate from Kazakhstan, but only 1500 tonnes was agreed by the Kazakh government.
KGRK was continuing to invest in its plant, and was aiming for 3500 tU/yr capacity. Further plans involve re-treatment and disposal of its own tailings on site. Early in 2013 KMPC was considering embarking upon mining in Kazakhstan, possibly in joint venture with Kazatomprom, or directly purchasing feed and selling the product to Russia, rather than toll milling. The company also was considering mining the Sary-Jaz group of deposits at Berkutsky, Schastlivy and Muzbulak projects. The prospective Kamyshanovskoye and Serafimovskoye deposits were also mentioned, with priority for exploration at Kyzyl-Ompul (Azarga Uranium holds a 424 sq km lease there).
However, in October 2015 the government said that KGRK might cease production due to lack of supply of uranium feed. It was appealing to Renova to secure more work for the mill. In November 2015 the mill ceased operation, due to lack of toll processing orders from Kazakhstan, and in February 2016 the company decided to close the plant and lay off staff. There were calls to return the enterprise to state ownership.
Legacy tailings
Apart from at Kara Balta, there are several tailings storage facilities in the Kyrgyz Republic, and more stretching 300 km to the west in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Some of them, especially around and above Mailuu-Suu in Jalal-Abad oblast which was threatened by a landslide in 2003, are in poor condition as no rehabilitation was done to either tailings storage facilities, waste rock dumps or uranium mining sites after Soviet mining ceased. Mailuu-Suu (or Mayli-Suu) has 23 uranium tailings dams containing 1.9 million cubic metres of material arising from the operation of Zapadnyi Mining and Chemical Combine to 1968 on the hillside above the town of 20,000 people. It is highly polluted by radionuclides and heavy metals, and high incidence of cancer is reported. It is 25 km upstream of the densely-populated Fergana Valley with the Syr Darya River. Tuyuk-Suu in the Min-Kush valley in the centre of the country contained 430,000 cubic metres of uranium tailings, and the clay cover had degraded. In 1996 the Ministry of Environment led a $0.5 million project to assess and monitor uranium legacy issues in the southern part of Jalal-Abad oblast. The government considers these two sites as the highest priority for remediation.
The Industrial Association Southern Combine for Polymetals (IA Yuzhpolimetall) was established on the basis of the Kyrgyz Mining Combine founded in the 1960s. The Combine mined and processed uranium ores from the Southern Kazakhstan region to 1991. Throughout the period of the Combine's activities, 55 million cubic metres of below-ore-grade material and barren rocks in 18 dumps covering 214 ha and with 600 TBq activity were accumulated. These were all some 80 km from populated areas. Four tailings dams containing a total of 35 million cubic metres of fine tailings were formed on its sites, covering 258 ha and with 3200 TBq of activity. Three of the tailings dams, up to 11 km from Min-Kush, were finished between 1960 and 1969, after which half a metre of loam was compacted on the surface.
High-level discussions with Russia in 2004 in connection with setting up the Zarechnoye JV in Kazakhstan addressed the issue of rehabilitation of Kyrgyz tailings storages and uranium mining areas, particularly tailings near Kadgy Sai on the shore of Lake Issyk Kul in the east, Min Kush in the Tien Shan mountains, and Mailuu-Suu. The projected cost was $8.8 million. VNIPIpromtekhnologii (VNIPIPT) and ARMZ had looked at investments in projects related to rehabilitation of territories affected by uranium mining enterprises, including Kyrgyzstan.
Over 2010-12 a World Bank-funded pilot project recovered one precarious tailings dam near Mailuu-Suu and reburied it at a cost of $8.4 million. This led to an estimate of $50 million to deal with ten other high-risk tailings in the area, and the Kyrgyz government appealed to the EU for this. A total of 36 waste piles and mill tailings have now been partially remediated and cultivated, and several landslide-prone spots near tailings have been improved and re-engineered to reduce the likelihood of seismic impact. This has been with assistance from the IAEA and some international funding. However, many of these projects remain incomplete, and many mines in need of remediation are in poor condition due to lack of funding.
In June 2015 the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) set up a fund to deal with radioactive contaminated material resulting from Soviet-era uranium mining and processing in the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. It said that the Environmental Remediation Account for Central Asia "is being established at the request of the European Commission, which is providing an initial €8 million, with additional funding under consideration." The fund would be used to finance remediation of "high-priority sites." It added: "Many of the legacy sites are concentrated along the tributaries to the Syr Darya River, which runs through the densely populated Fergana Valley, the agricultural centre of the region, which is shared by the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan."
In August 2016 the Kyrgyzstan government announced rehabilitation works to begin in mid-2017, in collaboration with Tajikistan and Russia as well as the IAEA, and funded by the EBRD. The EBRD signed framework agreements with the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan in January 2017, and the Kyrgyz government ratified its agreement in August 2017. ARMZ's VNIPIPT has opened an office in the capital, with a view to prioritizing work at Min-Kush, Kaji-Sai and a site near Taboshar in Tajikistan. The EU has carried out the environmental assessment and feasibility study for Min-Kush (Zhumgal district of Naryn region) and Shekaftar (Chatkala district, Jalal Abad oblast) near Mailuu-Suu, and contributed €16.5 million. Under a contract awarded in 2017, a consortium of companies is conducting an integrated environmental impact assessment and feasibility study for the management and remediation of Mailuu-Suu. The consortium comprises: GeoConsult of Austria; Belgium's Nuclear Research Centre (SCK-CEN); Wismut and Wisutec of Germany; and, Facilia of Sweden. Wismut and Wisutec have experience of remediating former uranium mines in the German states of Saxony and Thuringia. EBRD preliminary estimates suggest that the two main Kyrgyz sites will cost about €30 million. The Kyrgyz minister of emergency situations said that urgent measures were needed for environmentally unstable uranium legacy sites in Mailuu-Suu, Min-Kush and Shekaftar. Operations will be guided by a strategic master plan defining priority sites, prepared under the leadership of the IAEA.

This trip takes you through what many consider the heart of Appalachian coal country. Wyoming and McDowell Counties have produced millions of tons of coal over the years, and many residents continue to carve out a living in the mines.
On this trip you will see ruggedly beautiful mountain landscapes and striking architecture, as well as experience some of the industrial history and heritage of the area.
Twin Falls is a great place to stop for a few hours or spend a few days. The park offers an 18-hole golf course, an indoor swimming pool, hiking and biking trails, and a nature center. Be sure to visit the Pioneer Farm, too.
This tiny hamlet was once a thriving coal camp built by the famous coal baron I.T. Mann. All that is left today are some homes and the old company store. This impressive structure sits on the side of Routes 10 and 16 outside of Mullens. The building currently is not in use, nor is it in the best state of repair. However, it is a wonderful photo opportunity for those interested in architecture, coal heritage, or industrial history.
This is the county seat of Wyoming County. Pineville has a quaint and fairly busy main street and several noteworthy attractions.
Welch is the county seat of McDowell County. The Historic McDowell County Courthouse is infamously known as the site where detectives from the Baldwin-Felts agency assassinated Matewan Police Chief Sid Hatfield and Ed Chambers during the coal mine wars in WV. There is an annual re-enactment.
Kimball is a small town just down the road form Welch. There is a lot of history packing into the small town, and it is home to the only remaining World War I memorial dedicated to African American soldiers.

I did actually manage to get something written today (once the cat stopped standing on me). I have no title for it, but it's just over a thousand words about an android and a little room; you can read it right here. No rating, because it has nothing in it to offend anyone, with the possible exception of math purists and/or English teachers (run-on sentences without punctuation).
As for the ending… Make up your own mind.
But I missed International Men Can Wear Dresses Too day (May 15th). Bummer! However, with Tumblr, it's never too late: posts tagged IMCWDT on Tumblr.
And now I have to get to work or else.

Q: Web Application - Database Logging I'm working on an application with about 75 Database tables.  Anytime a record is added / updated in a particular table, we want to Log this data in some other storage.
As of now, there's essentially a Log table for each table.  i.e table_a_log, tableB_log, etc.
Events are being fired when Models are saved (Laravel app) to log the data in the respective Log table.
My question is: is the best way to approach logging? If we're storing logs in the Database, should we used a separate Datatase for logging?   Are there better alternatives to logging?

A: Assuming you're using 5.2, here's the documentation for logging inside of Laravel.  You can push info to the standard Laravel logs using something like Log::info('UsersController@store was used');
For more advanced logging, you can use Monolog which is included in Laravel right out of the box.
Edit: To give a more complete answer to your actual question, it depends on what you use the logged information for.  If you just want to keep track of what's going on to make sure nothing breaks, the regular Laravel logging works just fine.  I would personally avoid the way you currently have it (logs within a database) because that means each time you save or update something, you're doing two different sql actions (saving the actual data and then saving the log).  Plus, Laravel's logging and Monolog are there for a reason.

At Easter we decided to go for a drive to Iluka. This is a small town about two and a half hours drive south of the Gold Coast.
Here we caught up with Gary - otherwise known as 'Ox' and did a bit of sight seeing around the town. It is quicker to travel from Iluka to Yamba by boat than it is by car !.


Chennai, (IANS) World's third largest tractor-maker Tractors and Farm Equipment Ltd (Tafe) will soon launch two new product platforms under its Eicher brand, said a top company official on Thursday.
The company would also start exporting 100 hp tractors to African nations, the official said.
She said Tafe aims to ship out around 18,000-20,000 units this year out of its total sales of around 155,000 tractors.
According to company officials, the company will be shipping out sizeable number of 100 hp tractors to the African market under the Tafe brand.
The company has three brands — Massey Ferguson, Eicher and Tafe. The first two brands are sold in the domestic market and the Tafe-branded tractors are for export markets like Africa, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and parts of Europe.
Speaking about the new range of tractors, Srinivasan said the premium compact utility tractor is the first of its kind in the country and would create a new market segment.
"Farm operations are undergoing increased mechanisation as labour is getting costlier and short in supply. The 28 hp tractor will find use in orchards, haulage or a wide range of infrastructure applications," Srinivasan said.
The vehicle has attachments like front-end loader and backhoe.
She said that with the new Smart series tractors, the company will redefine customer experience with respect to productivity, efficiency and return on investment.
Agreeing that some of the Tafe vehicles were priced higher than competing products, Srinivsan said the technology will enable the owner to recoup his investment faster.
Queried about the company's plant in Turkey, she said it is doing well.

Let me make one thing perfectly clear, I am pro police. Police are a necessary. Police are responsible to the public, they work for the public. What gives police a bad name are a few officers that think they must use lethal force, when it is not necessary. Firearm training for police teaches how to kill not wound and to many officers are to damn quick on the draw.
Sheriff Hoss Mack requested $600,000.00 from the County Commission for cameras, body, vehicle and jail. His sales pitch was this would provide transparency and accountability for the public. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Sheriff Mack has made it a policy of NOT providing camera footage to the media or public.
When the Sheriff of the county is the most powerful politician in the county you have a serious problem. He becomes THE law without any accountability or transparency.
Bay Minette police are now adopting his policy. Their has been consistent complaints about Bay Minette police harassing members of the black community. The latest incident has more questions than facts. Mr. French was pulled over for a minor traffic violation, turn signals, now he is dead.
You can be sure you will only see selective censored camera footage, if you see any at all.
The Baldwin County Major Crimes Unit of the Sheriff's Office is conducting an investigation. The major crimes unit is the Sheriff office investigating the Sheriff office.
Loss of life by a Baldwin County Police should be investigative by outside the county agencies. The FBI would be an excellent choice. When have you ever heard of the Major Crimes Unit ever say that the police were responsible? NEVER.
It is rumored that Attorney Ben Crump may be representing the French Family. Mr Crump has represented family's all over the United States that have lost loved ones at the hands of police.
It is also rumored that the Chief of Police in Bay Minette is Sheriff Mack's pick to replace him upon his retirement. Let's pray to God that the public wakes up and elects a Sheriff that can keep his promises to the citizens of Baldwin County.
Reid said he's watched the officer's body-cam video several times and there may be other video of the incident. He would not comment on exactly what it shows and it's MCU policy not to release body-cam footage to the public at this stage of an investigation.
Baldwin County Sheriffs Deputies to get Body Cameras
Body cameras that are set up to capture every detail of an officer's day. It's a tool for transparency and to prosecute, if necessary.
Baldwin County Corrections under review by feds for inmate abuse
"She said they are calling for Baldwin County to release the security and bodycam videos that may have captured the incident and are asking why authorities have not taken any action against the multiple perpetrators, as far as they know".
"In an order filed April 19, U.S. District Court Judge William Cassady dismissed a single claim against Mack, but denied to grant the defendants' broader motion for summary judgment. Reviewed "in a light most favorable to the plaintiff," Cassady wrote, videotapes, audio, and witness statements from the incident leave cause to believe a jury could find that Hunady violated Victor's constitutional rights, while Mack failed to adequately train his deputies to respond to mental health crises."
Lagniappe vs. Mack
A compilation of stories about the May 12, 2017 shooting of Jonathan Victor by a deputy of the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office. The stories led to a 2021 Alabama Supreme Court decision which severely restricted public access to records related to law enforcement investigations.
By Gabriel Tynes |
The high court ruled the records Lagniappe sought, including dash and body camera footage from the shooting, are all exempted from open records law due to their "investigative" nature, even though the investigation in the shooting has been closed
Open Records Macked
"This week we focus our attention on the Unimaginable Decision from the Alabama Supreme Court that guts the Open Records Act related to body cam footage or any other investigative material in the possession of Law Enforcement…even after the investigation is concluded".
Lawsuit filed against Baldwin County deputies over deadly 2018 eviction
"By this time, defendants were dead-set on killing Yates and at or about 6:30 p.m., the decision was made to breach the Yates residence with all of the SWAT team's firepower, although the situation was not an exigent one, nor was there an emergency, nor had Yates threatened anyone's life since firing a warning shot inside his home," it reads. "Based on bullet holes in Yates' home and shell casings found outside the residence, SWAT team members shot the home up with their military style weapons without probable cause, as Yates had been silent for several hours. There were more than 114 shells/bullet casings, along with tear gas canisters and concussion grenades left at the scene."
Texas man behind the wheel in collision that killed five
The deadly crash has called into question the BCSO vehicle pursuit policy, which advises against engaging in pursuits for misdemeanor offenses. According to cell phone video captured by passersby during the pursuit, the deputy was also driving an unmarked SUV, which the policy advises against.
Teen Commits Suicide in Girlfriends Car
"According to the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office (BCSO), Peyton Little threatened to kill himself hours before it happened. BCSO reports he was riding in the car with his 16-year-old girlfriend when he wrapped his seat belt around his neck and exited the vehicle."
No drag marks were found on the body and it was declared a suicide immediately.
The rumors surrounding this case are the only information available because the case was quickly sealed. This case was sealed without it ever being reported Mr. Little was a confidential informant for the Bay Minette police.
Baldwin County has it's own wrongfully convicted man, Murray "Bubba" Lawrence. His conviction defies logic, evidence, and any basic investigation. Most amazing is the fact that the prosecution, defense, jury, nor judge, ever established any timeline. The timeline established by the 2000 plus page transcript, establishes a timeline that proves Mr. Lawrence had multiple witness alibi's. How this was overlooked is highly suspicious.
https://rippreport.com/category/deal-with-the-devil/
The "investigation" produced no fingerprints, no weapon, no ballistics, no blood, no fiber, no DNA, no timeline, no witness to the crime, only the testimony of the McNeil. The murderer, was threatened with the death penalty if he did not give up an accomplice.
SHERIFF HUEY "BOSS" MACK – SECRET POLICE
"This is a very long post however it documents the abuse of power and a police department running without a throttle, any accountability or transparency. The allegations, deaths and incarceration of an innocent man, combined with the ultimate power of the Sheriff, should be the concern of every citizen in Baldwin County. This is not bashing police. This is pointing out serious existing and reoccurring situations that are resulting in major lawsuits where the taxpayer will be the loser."
The County Commission needs to insist the Sheriff's Department return the $600.000.00 or provide the camera footage that TAXPAYERS PAID FOR.

FBI is dirty too. They hide Hunter's Laptop and raid a former President's house.
You cannot be serious. You were joking, Paul, right? right?…..

No I am not kidding, just who would you suggest as a higher law? Espionage???Are you shitting me How many times have you heard this word even being associated to a Former President of the United States? Much more information is going to be revealed in the next few months, so we will see.

It is the deep state that hates Trump
The deep state is not coming after Trump. The deep state is coming after we the people and Trump
Is just in the deep state's way
By the way, Bishop's comment below was spot on.
All this corruption in Baldwin County and the Feds have done nothing. The FBI, like all the other federal agencies are just spending time in getting "woke" and attending diversity meetings. Going after real corruption in Baldwin County?
Bwahhh hahaha. That's rich…. Real rich

Just months ago everyone was cheering on any FBI investigation in Baldwin County. Now the sole source of truth, Trump, the golden calf, instructs them to ignore the fact he stole the property of the government and people, because of Hunter Biden. He's being investigated too anyway. He had his lawyer sign a statement, after denying the first batch they eventually returned, said that's it. But that wasn't it. Top Secret information that is extremely damaging to our country if it were to be leaked. But… Trump and only Trump's word is the truth!
How do I get 2 billion from Saudi Arabia like Jared Kushner?
Didn't Saudi Arabia recently mention their nuclear ambitions?
Anonymous | August 29, 2022 at 11:42 am |
How do you get $2million from the Saudis like Jared Kushner? I don't know. You need to ask Joe & Hunter Biden.
I think that would be bad for Kushner if they know? There's room in gitmo for all of them. We're going to both sides ourselves to death if crime is an excuse for crime. And Kushner received 2 Billion, not 2 million to bail out his real estate losses.
They would like Trump as the higher law. The successor to King George III in some stupid reverse 1776 thing.
Biden is just Pompeo in a Biden mask talking in front of a green screen and Trump knows this he needs to stop it to save America.

The dirty FBI is holding their people accountable? The special agent wasn't involved in the raid. He was already on leave due to being investigated for the Hunter Laptop thing. Very dirty.
Are they good now again because it's not about one of the many laws Trump purposely broke?
