German police must release crime suspects' nationality to journalists, court rules
In a case that may serve as precedent in Germany, a German administrative court ruled last week thatpolice must reveal the nationality of a suspect to the press if a journalist makes the request.
The Hanover Administrative Court granted a reporter's urgent application on Tuesday, according to which the authorities were obliged to provide information to the press in order to "fulfill their public task".
"The press fulfills a public task when it procures and disseminates news in matters of public interest, takes a position, criticizes or otherwise participates in the formation of opinion", said the reasoning for the decision that was made public on Wednesday, according to areportfrom Berlin-based newspaper Junge Freiheit.
In Germany and other European countries, a perpetrator's national origins has become a matter of public interest. The continent's growing migrant populations have been tied to increased crime inGermany,Sweden,France,

Q: Using VBA, how can I write text of different heading levels in Word from Excel? Using VBA 2007, how can I create a Word document from Excel and write text of different headings (heading1, heading2, normal) so that the headings would appear in the document map?

A: This example will run from Excel.  It uses Early Binding so you need to ensure you have a reference to Word set in the VBA References (Tools->References).
Word can be a fickle best with putting text in the document.  Generally it needs to go a the currently selected point.  You can use Bookmarks and/or field codes to put text in different locations within a document.
Sub MakeWordDocumentWithHeadings()

    Dim wdApp As Word.Application, wdDoc As Word.Document

    'Use on error resume next so VBA doesn't produce an error if it can't find Word Open
    On Error Resume Next
    Set wdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")

    'If it is nothing the open a new instance of word
    If wdApp Is Nothing Then Set wdApp = New Word.Application
    'Reset the errors
    On Error GoTo 0

    'Add a new document
    Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Add

    'Word works by the location of the 'selection'
    wdApp.Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading 1")
    wdApp.Selection.TypeText Text:="Heading One"
    wdApp.Selection.TypeParagraph
    wdApp.Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading 2")
    wdApp.Selection.TypeText Text:="Heading Two"
    wdApp.Selection.TypeParagraph
    wdApp.Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading 3")
    wdApp.Selection.TypeText Text:="Heading Three"
    wdApp.Selection.TypeParagraph

    'Save close or whatever here

    'Always set objects to nothing.

Why read the classics?
Looking for a novel to share with your students? With more than 10,000 young adult novels published annually, the choices are vast. With such an extensive collection, there is certainly something for every niche and for everyone. I would suggest, however, that you look no further than the classics. Why read the classics? This post gives 5 reasons why classic literature benefits students.
#1 - Rigor
Studying classic literature is the backbone of a rigorous education. Reading the classics is challenging and requires your students to slow down and concentrate. Take for, example, the first line of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde:
Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary and yet somehow lovable.
Lines like "backward in sentiment" and describing a person as "dusty" might make you stop and think, and you may need to read that opening line more than once to really take it in, which is precisely my point.
Spencer Baum takes the case for studying the classics even further arguing that classic literature is essential in this age of social media where we have become shallow skimmers who are addicted to entertainment instead of readers. Sadly, his argument resonates.
Why read the classics?
# 2 - Vocabulary
College-bound words (aka SAT vocabulary) are routinely found in classic literature. Going back to just the first line of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde we find:
dreary
There is more to vocabulary building than learning lists of words. Research shows that a person needs multiple exposures to a word in a variety of contexts for true vocabulary acquisition. A story which introduces a word is far better than a list since it gives the word context, making the word more applicable and memorable.
You may think that young children can't handle the advanced vocabulary found in classic literature, but, as author and education consultant Michael Clay Thompson argues, if children can learn words like tyrannosaurus rex, what's stopping them from learning other complicated words? Younger students may not have the decoding skills or fluency to handle reading classic literature, but reading advanced texts aloud to your students can help bridge that gap.
Using abridged and graphic novels can also serve as gateways to original, classic literature. This may seem like cheating, but abridged versions that better meet a child's reading level help build the surface knowledge to handle the original text later on as reading matures. It also introduces the developing reader to the timeless themes found in the classics.
As a parent, it used to frustrate me to take my children to museums to find them hurrying through the displays slowing down only for a lever they could pull or for an exhibit that was particularly stunning. I wondered if they were learning anything at all. Research shows, however, that even surface knowledge builds understanding (Robert J. Monsanto, Building Background Knowledge). Imagine coming across the term Bayesian probability. I may have never encountered this term before and may only have a limited or no knowledge of what probability is. If I know that probability is the likelihood of an event, I can figure out that Bayesian probability is some version of figuring out the likelihood of an event. If I only know that probability is a math term, I have a lesser understanding, but I am at least a little clued into what the phrase might be about. Even limited knowledge helps a learner understand new material more fully compared to the learner who is encountering material for the very first time.
#3 - Reading impacts writing.
It's no surprise that the research shows that children who read extensively become better writers. While reading, students pick up on text structure and language. This, in turn, transfers to their own compositions. It's not just the structure and the use of language, but a reader also picks up on techniques for telling a story, ways to describe characters, and plot. Literary classics go a bit further as they provide archetypes that have inspired generations of writers. These archetypes can inspire the writing of your students, too!
#4 - Cultural Literacy
Cultural Literacy, which incorporates the concept of archetypes, is a term invented by E.D. Hirsch. It is the notion that there is a body of information, including literature, that an educated member of society should know or be exposed to. Hirsch argues that this idea of cultural literacy ties us together as a people. Although the debate continues on what should be included in this canon of cultural literacy, Hirsch's point is quite valid. Look no further than cartoons. Cartoons often times reference classic literature. Even the first SpongeBob Squarepants Movie is based on the Odyssey!
A viewer who doesn't see the reference can still enjoy the work, but the viewer who does has an ah-ha moment and a heightened experience. There is an innate and even smug satisfaction in getting it and in being in the know. The viewer who understands the reference is connected to something bigger, to something more than what is presented at face value.
#5 - Content
The classics are surprisingly modern and readable because of their themes. They address the timeless questions and struggles of what it means to be human. They bridge us to the past, whose themes we still grapple with today. Take, for example, the themes in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde – the duality of nature, repression, the dangers of unchecked science.

Why read the classics? You are certain to find a novel for every niche in today's vast market of literature, but you are also certain to find something for everyone in any piece of classic literature.

The runway scene has been featuring Resort 2014 fashion wear and it has led us to question, "What exactly is resort wear?" and "Why are they all so different?"
According to our Google search, resort wear falls in between the winter holiday and the spring seasons, where many people take vacation breaks to somewhere warmer and tropical (i.e. Bahamas, Cancun, Hawaii, etc.) That, of course, applying to those who can afford it. But what about those who are stuck in the cold weather? Do you really expect us to brace the frostbiting weather in skirts and light maxi dresses? NO.
So how can we apply the runway's resort wear phenomena into our own personal styles? Apply it to our summer and early Fall wardrobes, of course! Afterall, the collections are coming out, and the sun is too. So lets get to it! Read through some of our favorite resort wear collections and how you can apply each brands' styles into your own outfit.
We see vertical panels with mixed fabrics in BCBG's Resort 2014 line. We can't say we love it, but we definitely do not hate it. Especially that studded floral moto jacket on the far left photo above. That would be a must-have for the early fall season.
By far, Donna Karen Resort 2014 collection was our favorite. We love the printed pants and how the line demonstrated the designer's understanding of the way fabric flows, resulting in effortless chic appeal. We fell in love with the off-white and navy blue halter dress that mixed solid lines with the polka dots (far right bottom corner picture). We loved that one in particular because it was interesting and absolutely stunning. If only we got to see it in person (insert sad face here)! Overall the line was the perfect mod, chic resort wear that we can wear both inside and outside the city. The white cape dress (2nd from the left, top row) is another stunning number that we can picture ourselves wearing to a gala event in the city or to a nice dinner date by the tropical beach. From the lavish capes, tulip-like skirt hems, and asymmetrical balance, this line is yet another great example of how you can alter this fall's wardrobe and give it a taste of spring/summer.
Moschino showed their flower wild child side in their resort 2014 collection that looked as if it were targeted for high-end Coachella attendees. Well, if you read our rant about the stereotypical trends of Coachella here and here, you'll be pleasantly surprised by what we have to say about Moschino. Microdaisies, cotton candy tie dye, macramé lace, crochet maxi dresses, and peace in clouds tunics gave away that the theme Moschino Cheap & Chic was based on the hippie-loving 1960s. It was a collection that demonstrated the brand's attempt to penetrate the music festival market and did so in its usual high-fashion ways. We loved the free spirited take on their resort wear that we would say is more summer appropriate.
Oscar de la Renta is known mostly for his gorgeous gowns that dress many star-studded events along the red carpet, so there's no taming the beast, even if it's supposed to be for resort wear. Although the designer has attempted to incorporate his designs in casual wear, his forte was and always will be in his gowns. However, his peplum topped outfits were divine along with the prominent presence of floral prints in this collection, giving off a spring/summer feel.
Edgy, abstract, black and white, and leather was apparently the theme Versace went for in their resort wear that sided on the punk side, which is not unusual for Versace. We fell in love with the monotonic abstract prints pictured on the male and female paired models. However, it did remind us of Zoo York, which we still love. We love the brand's use of leather to demonstrate that resort wear does not always have to be tropical-themed, and veered toward city street fashion that would be great for the fall and winter. Especially that black trench coat with double gold safety pin brooches. That brooch....we must have it now! Not only is it a statement maker, but also a great conversation starter especially at a holiday party.
What we loved more than Zac Posen's resort line was the fabulous model that made the clothes look that more whimsical than a stoic model ever could. But besides the amazing model, the clothes itself was perfect winter resort wear. Those lime yellow pants, that metallic green moto jacket, that color palette, everything about Zac Posen's resort line was just fabulous. The collection demonstrates the perfect way to bring spring in after the cold winter, and features heavier items that can shield you from the cold. We loved the use of loafers as well, because who would want to walk through the snow or the sand in stiletto heels? Overall, we loved Zac Zac Posen's Resort 2014 collection, which gives a sneak peak into colors that may or may not be hot the next year.
If you could take anything away from this post, it would be that resort wear has no rules and that everyone would wear them whether they're away on vacation or a staycation. Although the resort season dictates its styles to be implemented during the winter/spring season, we urge you to use runway fashion to influence how you dress in the now. But to sum everything up in a nutshell, the Resort 2014 wear is about prints, mixed fabrics, leather, flowy silhouettes, accented colors, and lots of blacks, beiges, and whites.

Shown below are some photographs for a job we did recently restoring 150 year old Quarry Tiles at a School near Peterborough in Northamptonshire. The school had a lot of problems with this floor over the years and had called in another cleaning company several months prior but found that within weeks the sealant they had applied had started to bubble and peal off. The floor was suffering from ongoing dampness problems in some areas, which isn't unusual for a floor in an old building as damp proofing is a relatively modern concept. Tile Doctor was called in to try to rectify the issues.
The school had faced problems maintaining this floor in the past so I returned to site the following week to explain the best method for cleaning the floor going forward; this essentially involves using two buckets, once containing cleaning solution and another to rinse out the mop, I also gave them a complimentary bottle of Tile Doctor Neutral cleaner and a white buffing pad to point them in the right direction. Neutral Cleaner is a PH Neutral formula which unlike most acid products will not degrade the sealer over time.


AimsThe basis of this study lies in hygiene of swimming pools, where it is argued that taking a pre-swim shower would lead to a decrease in release of pollutants in the swimming pool, which in the end would lead to the decrease of health issues as red eyes and asthma. However, previous research has shown that not even half of the swimming pool visitors takes a pre-swim shower. Therefore, interventions are needed to increase pre-swim shower behaviour. Whereas previous research focused on 'conscious' behavioural interventions, this research focuses on 'unconscious' behavioural interventions, by using watching eyes. Watching eyes create an unconscious feeling of being watched, which lead people to behave in a prosocial way (for example: people litter less). It is argued that when swimming pool visitors are 'confronted' with watching eyes, they are more likely to take a pre-swim shower. So, this study aimed to increase pre-swim shower behaviour in swimming pools by using watching eyes.MethodsThree interventions were designed, either containing watching eyes, a symbol, or a combination of both (see figure 1). This led to three conditions: eyes-only (no symbol), eyes + symbol, and symbol-only(no eyes). A fourth condition was added in which nothing was displayed (no eyes/no symbol): the control condition. Three methods were used to gather data for this study: observations, questionnaires and water quality measurements. Observations were used to monitor actual pre-swim shower behaviour, and the influence of factors as gender, age, carrying belongings, other people showering, et cetera. These factors were found to influence pre-swim shower behaviour in previous research. Questionnaires were used to monitor hygiene perceptions, importance of hygiene, and hygienic behaviour, and about the awareness and understanding of the interventions. It was expected that data about the factors mentioned before could give more insights about how swimming pool visitors feel about hygiene in swimming pools, and about the influence of the interventions. Finally, water quality measurements were used to monitor the release of pollutants in the swimming pool.

North Korea bans Malaysians from leaving the country
TOPICS:AsiaAssassinationDiplomacyEast-AsiaInternational RelationsKim Jong-NamKoreaLawLegal NewsMalaysiaNorth KoreaSouth Korea
By Zakir Shahid bin Aladdin Culibrk
North Korea has banned Malaysians from leaving the country over assassination row
North Korea has barred Malaysians from leaving the country, sparking a tit-for-tat diplomatic reaction from Malaysia, as police investigating the assassination of Kim Jong-Nam seek to question three men hiding in the North Korean embassy.
Kim Jong-Nam, the eldest son of former North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Il and half brother of current leader Kim Jong-Un, was assassinated on the 13th February 2017 in Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Sepang District, Malaysia.
After Pyongyang announced the move, Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak swiftly called for the immediate release of its citizens, instructing police "to prevent all North Korean citizens in Malaysia from leaving the country until we are assured of the safety and security of all Malaysians in North Korea".
"This abhorrent act, effectively holding our citizens hostage, is in total disregard of all international law and diplomatic norms." Razak said in a statement, adding that he had called an emergency meeting of the National Security Council.
Malaysia quickly responds by imposing a similar ban on North Koreans as tensions swirls over assassination of King Jong-nam.
North Korea's foreign ministry notified the Malaysian embassy in Pyongyang of the reason for the ban and said it had hoped the case would be swiftly and fairly resolved in order to develop bilateral ties with Malaysia.
"All Malaysian nationals in the DPRK will be temporarily prohibited from leaving the country until the incident that happened in Malaysia is properly solved," the official Korea Central News Agency said on Tuesday, citing the foreign ministry.
Malaysian Deputy Foreign Minister Reezal Marican told reporters that there were 11 Malaysians in North Korea: Three at the embassy, two UN workers and six family members.
Seoul has blamed Pyongyang for the assassination and Kuala Lumpur has sought several North Koreans for questioning, although the only one it arrested was released for lack of evidence.
According to KCNA, Pyongyang's foreign ministry expressed hopes that the Malaysian government would solve the issue in a "fair and timely manner based on goodwill".
The North has yet to confirm the dead man's identity, but has denounced the Malaysian investigation as an attempt to smear it.
Malaysia expelled the North's ambassador as diplomatic tensions soared, and Pyongyang retaliated late Monday by formally ordering out his counterpart – who had already been recalled for consultations.
Malaysian diplomats and nationals in the North would be allowed to "conduct business and live normally" while the travel ban is in place, it added.
Earlier, Malaysia decided to cancel visa-free entry for North Koreans entering the country. North Koreans are now required to obtain a visa as of the 6th March 2017 before entering Malaysia for national security reasons, state news agency Bernama reported on Thursday, citing the deputy prime minister, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

My wife loves these and the 2x3.5 inch rectangles as well. These seem of great quality, and we've never found the adhesion to drop. The price makes it easy to dispose of a 4 pack every 2 months. Plus, you have no regrets if you ever pull the wires out of the pad!
Love this product and the large size of the pads. Delivery was extremely quick. I am very pleased with the product and the vendor. I will order again as needed.
Great products! Reliable! Fits with any unit! Great Company! A+++!
Great customer service and the electrodes work great.
I like the bigger size, but 1 drawback is like your hands they are a bit big. Over all I like them and they work great, and stick great.
I have always used the square ones but the circle ones are amazing! The shape fits so comfortable and is easy to apply, it also covers more. Product is great and ships fast!
Love the three inch round. Great coverage.
I like these electrodes. They spread the sensation over a larger area and don't leave red spots even when I leave them on for long perids of time. Thry also can be removed and replaced many times .
Very pleased with the purchase. Being that they are round, they are easier to place and do no have corners that will catch on clothing that has to be pulled over the head. They seem to be tackier than the squares. When they have to be replaced, will purchase the same item.
Can not beat the price or quality. They are better than the original ones I purchased which cost $26.00 at the time. I love them.
I use a TENS Unit for back pain. This item is just the right size and perfect with my TENS for pain relief. I would definitely reorder from this vendor. Easy to order and fast delivery! Thank you.
The quality and size are good. Only draw back is the adhesive is a little TOO sticky. Have a hard time peeling them off the plastic and my body. If I don't place it on just the right spot, I have to fight to peel it off and replace it. Leaves a little bit of stickiness on my fingers as well. Otherwise it's great.
The 3" round premium electrodes arrived quickly. The quality is very good and they fit perfectly with my old l997 tens unit. I didn't think I would be able to find electrodes to fit. There was a good variety to choose from for my unit. Thanks again.
Excellent quality. I was totally happy with the product. Excellent. Arrived in a timely manner.
I have three fractured vertebras in my back and scoliosis these pads make using the tens a breeze. I love them and will be ordering more in the future. I am a Hospice nurse and I work on my feet 7 days a weeks. and I can also use my tens at work. I have also recommended it for several clients .Once again thank you so much for the fast and supreme services.
High quality product that hold its adhesion power after multiple users.
These electrodes worked perfectly, and the price was the best I found when I was searching for replacements.
Q: Are these compatible with the Empi Select device?
Yes. All of our electrodes are compatible with EMPI devices, but our lead wires are not.
Q: Are these self adhesive?
Yes. All of our electrodes are self-adhesive, meaning they already come with the adhesive gel already on them, unless otherwise stated.
Q: Will these pads work with my IGIA Electro Sage 8 unit?
Our electrodes, including these 3" Round White Cloths, may be used with the IGIA ElectroSage 8 device, however, our lead wires are NOT compatible.

Early in 1942, a young man from Rhode Island, Tony Pritchard went into the U.S. Army. By the time he returned home more than five years later, he had been all over the United States and Western Europe, had led troops in combat, had nearly died, had worked with refugees, and in general had encountered a world far wider and far more brutal than anything he had known.
Years later his son Arnie inherited Tony's old army foot locker. It turned out to contain hundreds of letters, photos, and other documents from this time. These sources vividly portray the people, places, and events which he encountered. They also portray the hopes, fears, and passions which he and others struggled with as they played their parts in the largest conflict in human history.
As Arnie became immersed in wartime material, a narrative began to emerge, and he put his father's letters into a presentation designed to entertain, to educate, and to enlighten. Arnie is now an historical World War II storyteller, chronicling Tony's experience of the European in this unique and moving presentation.

70 Minutes |Punjabi with English sub-titles | India | 2018
A film by Randeep Maddoke
January 25, Saturday | 7:00 pm
Bangalore International Centre [BIC]
#7 , 4th Main Road, Domlur II Stage
Entry free and open to all
The screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker.
With the advent of Sikhism in Punjab in the 16th century, the Sikh community sought to establish an egalitarian society. Over the years, those outside of the four-fold Hindu caste (varna) system were particularly attracted to Sikhism and hoped to find their place in this seemingly casteless society. However post independence once the zamindari system was abolished and the Green Revolution was ushered in, the social reforms carefully nurtured by Sikhism couldn't stand up to the changes introduced by the new land reforms. Even as the former marginalized groups like the Jatts became a land owning class, the Avarnas - those outside the varna system and the lowest in the social order - continued to be landless. The film looks at the unending conflict over land, rights, and dignity between these communities in Punjab.
THE DIRECTOR
Randeep was born as a Majhbi Sikh (considered 'low-caste') in the Maddoke village of Punjab. As a young boy, he spent a considerable amount of time working as an agricultural labourer and then as an activist in Khet Mazdoor Union (agricultural labour union). During this time he familiarized himself with communist ideas and completed his high school. He later joined the Government College of Arts in Chandigarh where he developed an interest in Photography. His photographs represent the experiences of everyday life of Dalits.
In his words - I document the experiences of dalits because the everyday life of a Dalit is intertwined with a multitude of things – their sufferings, joys, vulnerabilities, and antagonisms. The photographs play a role in documenting this discrimination which has been normalized, and kept alive largely in the memory of Dalits with the hope to end discrimination and achieve the equality. But, as the photographs suggest, this hope is still elusive…


Acne is a part of an irritating ailment that affects many people especially teenagers. Pimples, zits, blackheads and whiteheads are all a part of acne. Acne tends to come along at a time in a teenagers life when they are self-conscious and going through several physical changes.
Acne is officially called acne vulgaris. It is a blemish caused by multiple factors. Hormonal imbalances in teenagers are a major factor in causing acne. Most of the problems come from bacteria that are always on the skin that starts to grow in abundance. Most of these bacteria start to grow in clogged pores that are full of dead skin cells.
Hormones are only one source of acne. Several other factors can cause acne or make it worse. If you are exposed to too much chlorine, you can develop a long lasting and irritating type of acne. In addition, the use of anabolic steroids will cause acne. There are also numerous health problems that can cause acne.
For a while, many people thought acne was caused by poor hygiene. However, scrubbing your face in an effort to open up pores and get rid of pimples, blackheads, zits and whiteheads will often make the problem worse by damaging the skin.
It was also thought for several years that certain foods would make people prone to acne. Fried foods and chocolate were listed as causes of acne and became a natural assumption. However, there is no medical or scientific proof that oily skin is linked with greasy foods. The truth is simply that acne is a natural part of growing into adulthood.
The majority of people will outgrow acne as their bodies enter adulthood and their puberty ends. The fact is that by the time people are in their twenties most of their acne problems will be gone. There is a small group of people that may have acne for longer. However, for the majority of the population acne is a temporary and passing event in life.
There are two different categories for acne, inflamed and non-inflamed. Non-inflamed blemishes are usually seen as blackheads and whiteheads. A whitehead is caused by a clogged follicle that plugs the skin pore. The whitehead is made up of dead skin cells. A blackhead is basically the same thing as a whitehead except for the fact that is has opened up and become oxidized which causes the darker color of the blemish. For many years' people thought blackheads came from dirt, but this is not the truth.
Inflamed blemishes are seen as pimples or zits. These blemishes are typically reddish in color and look inflamed. Pimples will develop when a whitehead doesn't succeed in turning into a blackhead. The pore wall breaks down and serves as a dumping ground for oil, dead skin cells, bacteria and other debris from the body. White blood cells then congregate in the blemish to fight the infection, which causes the puss substance and pain associated with the familiar pimples. A larger cyst is even more painful and can flair up over and over again to the point that medical attention is required.
While there are, many misconceptions about acne one of the main thoughts is that exposure to the sun will cure acne. However, there is no scientific or medical proof that the sun has a positive effect on acne. It merely makes it harder to see the pimples and exposure to the sun can in fact cause wrinkles and skin cancer later on in life.
We hope the above information may help you to learn about acne.

Lamborghini Has Already Sold All 112 Examples of the New Countach – GTPlanet
August 16, 2021 admin	0 Comments
Although Lamborghini has now officially pulled the wraps off its latest nostalgia project, the Countach LPI 800-4, you're already too late to buy one.
Unveiled by Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman at this year's The Quali: A Motorsports Gathering event in California, only 112 examples of the new Countach will leave Sant'Agata Bolognese, and every single one of them has already found a buyer.
The iconic nameplate is undoubtedly familiar to most as the quintessential 80s poster child, though the Countach first broke cover in March 1971. Indeed the Monterey Car Week event was celebrating the 50th anniversary at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
This new, re-imagined Countach is a reworked Sian FKP 37, which itself is also a reworked Aventador — a car playing a car, disguised as another car, if you will. It's an important link, as it means that, unlike the Aventador, the Countach is a hybrid; its namesake may be classic, the powertrain is fully modern.
A 48V electric motor injects 33hp to the 7-speed gearbox it's directly mated to, which itself joins to the ever-rowdy 769hp 6.5-liter V12 engine. The result is a combined 803hp hybrid torpedo that will sprint to 60mph in 2.7 seconds, and onto a top speed of 220mph.
The LPI 800-4 borrows some styling cues from the original car. While the new car's styling is hardly groundbreaking, enough familiarity remains present in the front fascia, shark gills, and NACA-style side intakes — the latter item more reminiscent of later versions of the Countach. Even the taillights have been adapted to ape the classic car.
Automobili Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winklemann had this to say on the Italian automaker's latest work:
"The Countach LPI 800-4 is the visionary model of the moment, precisely like its predecessor. One of the most important automotive icons, the Countach not only embodies Lamborghini design and technology, but fully represents our philosophy, that philosophy able to reinvent boundaries, attain the unexpected, and access the extraordinary realm of the dream."
As expected of a modern Lamborghini, the chassis and all body panels are in carbon fiber and is lightweight as a result. With a dry weight of 1,595kg (3,516lb), the Countach is only a mere 99lb (45kg) heavier than the 769hp Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae. Other modern additions to the car include 3D-printed mobile air intakes, and a photochromatic glass roof that changes from matt to clear opacity with a single button press.
The all-new Countach LPI 800-4 will have a limited production run of 112 units. That might seem like a strange number, but it's a callback to the LP112 internal codename of the original car, before it gained its rather colorful Piedmontese appellation.
Pricing for the new Countach is unknown for now and, though we pretty much guarantee it will command seven figures, largely irrelevant as every single example is spoken for.

My name is Tarak Shah, I like to be known as an American Born Gujarati Desi (ABGD), NOT Confused. My passion for percussion started at an early age. When I was a baby, my mom would yell to stop banging on the pots and pans (my first set of instruments). My Junior High band classes began to refine my talent. No matter what type of band and/or music there was, I wanted to be a part of it! I participated in Marching band, Wind band, Jazz band, Basketball band at UT-Austin, and later, I naturally formed my own band with fellow musicians. But, it was my college years, when I fell in love with desi culture and all Indian events. I was inspired, and decided to strike my hand at the dhol. My drumming experience allowed me to quickly grasp the indian flavor of dhol beats and thus, I became a dholi.
My experience in dhol, ranges from playing at many special events: engagements, baaraats, weddings, receptions, garbas, sangeets, and birthday parties, as well as private, school, and corporate events. I've worked with many DJs, Dholis, and other vendors in Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas, and many other parts of the US.
This is my passion and true love (with exception for my wife, of course)!
will see how I bring a bang to your event!

– A bunch of balance changes (in your favor) have been made to the various federation formation rules, so that in particular getting the federation started is not so hard. Actually this one should make everyone quite happy. But there are a variety of other things that are now easier in terms of attitude and influence in this regard, too, depending on the desperation of the race, for instance.
– There is a new "Join Federation When Militarily Supreme" way to get all of the races except for the Burlusts and the Thoraxians into the federation. This one actually is comparably rare in terms of your being able to use it, I expect, but it's really great for when you can engineer the situation to meet these criteria.
– In general the Credit costs for getting races to join the federation have just fallen through the floor, to avoid late-game grinding.
– In place of the grinding (which was never intended, but just kind of a byproduct), there are now several new mechanics in place where non-federation races react to the existence of the federation. In particular, this makes it a lot harder to just militarily roll the non-federation races once you get a sufficient mass of federation races. Even better, it also puts a lot more strategy into which races you invite first, as the potential negative reaction of that race to not being in the federation is something that you can use either for your gain or that you have to work around.
– Overall the balance of the solar map has shifted away from bombing-heaviness and in to ground-combat heaviness, which was always the intent but lately had not been the reality. This gives greater weight to races with higher ground combat strengths, which was the intent from the start — so the Thoraxians and the Burlusts now live up to their reputations much better.
– A bunch of technologies now are available to more races, and a bunch of others are now gated by years into the game. These things really change the early dynamic, because it makes it so that weaker races can't immediately compensate for underwhelming ground power (for instance) based on simply being technologically superior. They can to some degree, but not to an extreme degree. But the longer they survive, the more they are able to level the playing field with technology, which makes sense.
– The Thoraxians now have an "evolution" mechanic, where they get progressively stronger in terms of ground power as the game goes on. Even from the start they are still the strongest at ground power, but it's no longer so extreme. They also now have an even higher home-field advantage when it comes to ground combat, meaning the odds of them getting kicked out of the game early on in is very very low.
– Oh! Also, there is a huge new mechanic for in combat where we are able to define complex shot behaviors through xml. If you're into that sort of thing, you can do that as well and submit designs to us for potential inclusion in the game. This lets us design much more interesting ship battles, in particular "boss like" battles. Expect changes to the Burlust Duels in the future in particular, and a vast reduction in the use of homing missiles in the game. The basic flagships used by the enemy have already been updated, and actually a new variant has also been added during this release (Model X2).
– And lastly, a number of improvements and adjustments have been made to bribe items, making them both more usable and better balanced.
The support of the community, and the growth of it, remain amazing to me. It's been about a month and a half since launch, and it's clear we definitely have a winner here. We're continuing to expand the improve the game via bugfixes, balance updates, and new content, and plan to do so for the foreseeable future.
It won't always be on a consistent schedule, but if you're familiar with our post-release support for AI War: Fleet Command over the past 5 years, that's basically the arc that we are currently expecting here unless something unexpectedly changes.

Investors Sift Ashes of Marlboro Merger for Answers
Unsuccessful deal talks between Altria and Philip Morris have raised doubts about the tobacco giants' strategies
Carol Ryan
carol.ryan@wsj.com
Sept. 25, 2019 1:07 pm ET
Tobacco investors can breathe easier now that Altria Group and Philip Morris International have abandoned their plans to combine. But shareholders will still look for reasons why the unpopular deal was ever considered.
The two cigarette giants that sell the Marlboro brand—Altria in the U.S. and Philip Morris overseas—said Wednesday that talks about an all-share merger had ended without agreement. Elated Philip Morris shareholders added $7.3 billion to the company's stock-market valuation in early trading, while Altria's shares fell slightly. The two businesses will stick by their pre-existing partnership to roll out Philip Morris's heated-tobacco product IQOS in the U.S. market.
The deal talks were likely derailed by a series of recent announcements from U.S. regulators and politicians that point to a crackdown on vaping products. President Trump said this month that he may ban certain flavors to tackle high rates of youth use and a lung disease linked to e-cigarettes. That would be painful for Juul Labs, the company that dominates the U.S. vaping market, in which Altria owns a 35% stake.
Altria also announced that Juul's current Chief Executive Kevin Burns will be succeeded by longtime tobacco boss K.C. Crosthwaite. The new appointment could improve Juul's credibility with regulators. Even so, Altria's lavish $13 billion investment in the vaping company last December now seems exceptionally poorly timed.
The big question is why Philip Morris wanted to get back into the U.S. market, where regulatory risks are increasing. Investors have paid a premium for its stock precisely because the company has no presence there.

Into the Sounds
A Taine McKenna Adventure
Sequel to award-winning Into the Mist
ISBN 13 978 1925840 124
On leave, and out of his head with boredom, NZDF Sergeant Taine McKenna joins biologist Jules Asher on a Conservation Department deer culling expedition to New Zealand's southernmost national park, where soaring peaks give way to valleys gouged from clay and rock, and icy rivers bleed into watery canyons too deep to fathom. Despite covering an area the size of the Serengeti, only eighteen people live in the isolated region, so it's a surprise when the hunters stumble on the nation's Tūrehu tribe, becoming some of only a handful to ever encounter the elusive ghost people. But a band of mercenaries saw them first, and, hell-bent on exploiting the tribes' survivors, they're prepared to kill anyone who gets in their way. A soldier, McKenna is duty-bound to protect all New Zealanders, but after centuries of persecution will the Tūrehu allow him to help them? Besides, there is something else lurking in the sounds, and it has its own agenda. When the waters clear, will anyone be allowed to leave?

"Murray pretty much nails small unit tactics."
— Justin Coates, author of The Apocalypse Drive
"A fantastic blend of military fiction, a very real primordial monster, and powerful mythology."
— Paul Mannering, author of Hard Corps, Hell's Teeth, and Eat
"Taine McKenna's latest foray leads him again into the forests of New Zealand, this time accompanying a small group of conservationists evaluating the status of endangered species. But what they find goes far beyond any of their expectations and leads them to violent conflicts and a blood-thirsty band of plunderers set to exploit the new find. And something else. Something huge and voracious and virtually unbeatable. Murray does a beautiful job in combining New Zealand landscapes with strong characters, both native and otherwise. Her writing is, as always, clear and direct, especially in her handling of Maori terms readers might not be familiar with. I highly recommend this book to those interested in action, military adventure, conservation and its inherent dangers, and, perhaps most of all, tales of cryptozoology."
— World Horror Master, Michael Collings
"A captivating thrill-ride, deftly combining science, action, folklore, and fun characters; exciting and believable."
— Christine Morgan, author of White Death
"...the author's greatest strengths lie in her characters, and her ability to show us all the land she loves."
— Sci-fi and Scary
"Murray's thriller deftly weaves heart-pounding action, Māori mythology, science, and the rage of an untamable monster into a tension-filled story that cannot be put down." — SpecFicNZ
Cinematic and evocative, Into the Mist is a tension-packed expedition into primordial terror.
Murray's writing had me feeling the damp of the forest, seeing the mist curling through the fern fronds, and sensing the danger lurking there. Ancient myths, military men and scientists placed in remote, primordial locations – it had all the right ingredients for me, and it didn't disappoint for a moment. Lee Murray is an author to watch."
— Greig Beck, best-selling author of the Arcadian series

Murder on the Orient Express (Branagh; 2017)
Agatha Christie's classic story "Murder on the Orient Express" has been filmed for either the cinema or television screen five times since 1974 including this latest version directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh. While there is a reason classics have attained the status they have, there is also a downside to being a classic which is that the book, or movie, or song, or piece of art will forever after be copied and imitated until the very thing which made a work a classic has been so overdone that people are inured to it. When you tell someone the camera techniques in Citizen Kane were revolutionary at the time you can still very much respect it, but since those techniques have been copied by cinematographers for going on 80 years now audiences simply cannot have the same reaction to it as when the film was new. Branagh's Murder on the Orient Express fortunately does not try to overly modernize Christie's story, but unfortunately, this makes the film's story overly familiar even to those who have never read the novel nor seen any of its adaptations.
Murder on the Orient Express has one hell of an impressive cast. Kenneth Branagh plays Hercule Poirot, Christie's famous Belgian OCD-ridden detective, and he works alongside Daisy Ridley, Leslie Odom Jr., Penelope Cruz, Josh Gad, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Judi Dench, Olivia Colman, and Willem DaFoe. Every single one of these performers throws themself into their role, and while most of the characters give the actors little to work with, they show to a person why they have been sought after by studios as the ensemble definitely elevates the very one-dimensional roles they have been given through their charisma, charm, and passion.
It's also a gorgeous movie to look at, though its visuals were inconsistent. The art direction and costuming are top notch, to the level of possible award-winning especially for the costumes, and the CGI is also excellent, but so stylized it seems as if it comes from a different film. specifically The Polar Express. It's understandable that you'd want to show the train moving from an outside perspective in a film about a murder on a long train ride, but when those scenes are shown using CGI rather than actual footage of a train and that CGI is either very dated or very stylized it calls attention to itself in a bad way.
The writing is also a bit on the inconsistent side. It captures the story and the era Agatha Christie originally penned perfectly. Thus, the movie has a nostalgic flavor to it more reminiscent of a stage play than a movie. It gives the fun of a mystery which doesn't overly rely on cheap tricks and hidden information to keep the audience from solving it, but since it is made in an older stagey style it relies on characters which have no real personality outside of what the mystery needs so they can be living clues, and the mystery is quite easy to solve. I had never seen nor read any version of "Murder on the Orient Express" before this one and I had the mystery solved while there was a good half an hour to forty-five minutes to go before the film revealed the answer.
Final verdict: Murder on the Orient Express is a well-made movie. Every actor obviously had fun with their performance and put their hearts and souls into their part. The visuals are also detailed and lovely with only the mismatched style of the CGI being the only poor decision here. But, it's a story we've seen so many times before it's more than just familiar, it's dated. If you don't care about actually solving the mystery and just want to see a turn of the last century style murder mystery for pure nostalgia's sake, then Murder on the Orient Express will definitely fit that bill. But, with paper-thin characters and a mystery which lacks any kind of an actual mystery to modern audiences, most will probably leave the theater not necessarily hating the movie, but definitely feeling a bit disappointed.

The Snowman (Alfredson; 2017)
Jo Nesbo is a Norwegian crime novellist known the world over for revolutionizing modern crime fiction and has won a great many awards in addition to his popularity. Tomas Alfredson is a Swedish film director known in the United States primarily for the Academy Award nominated Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy as well as the horror classic Let the Right One In. You would think that putting these two gentlemen together along with the phenomenal acting talent of Michael Fassbender would guarantee a quality film just awaiting critical acclaim and the attention of the film awards circuit. That, however, is not to be the fate of The Snowman, a film which despite the pedigree of its acting, writing, and directing talents went horribly wrong.
The film opens with a series of camera shots you would expect in a Bourne film fight scene with a series of quick close ups and zoom outs cut together so quickly you barely have a moment to make out what you are seeing on screen. But, this isn't an action scene. It's just following a man entering a house then sitting at a table. It's an interesting choice that the most mundane action possible is filmed via frantic camerawork, but this is only done once. Shortly after this we have a strange zoom through the windshield of a car which is reminiscent of an effect someone would use to show a space ship going into faster than light travel in a science fiction film, but it's used for someone who is just pulling out of their garage normally. One shot of this drive uses a very obvious CGI close up of the back of the car so out of date it looks like it was created in 1992, but none of the rest of the drive uses CGI at all, and again, it's for the most part just a normal drive through a snowy landscape. No high speed chase, no stunt work. Again, nothing like this is shown again in the movie. It's just a strange choice for no obvious reason.
The acting choices made throughout the film are also odd, so odd that there were times if I wondered if anyone in the movie had ever actually met another human being before. Two characters will stare meaningfully at one another as if they were sharing some dark secret silently that only they know, or perhaps one is warning the other that they know what the other is up to only to find in the very next scene seconds later that the two have never met and are now being introduced. Fassbender's Harry Hole at one point attacks a person doing repair work on his apartment, and chases the repair person into the street, and we never know why nor hear from the character of the repair person again. In fact, stares, awkward silences, and two people seemingly having completely different conversations as they speak past one another seems more common in this film than normal, recognizable human interaction.
I think these strange choices all have a reason which was found out near the film's end, but that reason is in itself so bizarre if I am correct that it just adds yet another strange choice to the myriad of others rather than clarify anything. Without spoiling anything, one of the characters has a trait that is a major influence on the actions of another, and all this monkeying around with strange interactions and camera work seems to be a hint to the audience about this character trait. The trouble is that not only could this trait have been far more easily shown in mere seconds than by hinting for an entire movie, but there also seems no reason whatsoever to keep that trait a secret from the audience.
There are some gorgeous shots of the Norwegian landscape in The Snowman, as well as some excellent framing of the city of Oslo, though I have to wonder does every house in Norway have windows on the inside so people can see into living rooms and bedrooms and the like? Even the film being set in Norway is odd since every character speaks in English, American English, for the entire film with no establishing that they are actually speaking in Norwegian but are being broadcast in English for the sake of ease. In the end, there is no reason to have the film set in Norway over anywhere else in the world, so why not just relocate the film to a cold climate in the United States if they are speaking American English? This is a nitpick more than a major complaint, but when added to everything else in the film, it is just one more strange, pointless decision added to the pile.
Add all these factors together, and the crime thriller element of The Snowman just does not work partially because you are so distracted by the amateurism on display and partially because you are too busy laughing and scratching your head to be engaged in the plot. Michael Fassbender was once an actor who would get my excited for his next project, and was good enough that I was willing to give what seemed bad choices the benefit of the doubt, but with his last few films including X-Men: Apocalypse, Assassin's Creed, Alien: Covenant, and now The Snowman I have to now label him as an excellent actor who makes horrible decisions as to which roles to play.
Final verdict: The Snowman is not quite so incompetently made as to be so bad it's entertaining, but many of its scenes are and film as a whole only barely misses that mark. Incomprehensible writing, acting, and directorial decisions add up to make a film which leaves the audience more concerned with the ineptitude of the film makers than with the actual story. Unless a handful of good shots of snowy landscapes are enough to pique your interest, there is nothing of value in The Snowman to recommend. While the story itself does make sense, nothing about the way that story is put together does.
