text: Following the EU Traditional Herbal Medicines Directive in April this year, almost all herbal tinctures, and the majority of herbal capsules and tablets will disappear from sale in the near future. A (very expensive) testing process has been made mandatory, which will kill off herbal medicine. We will still be able to purchase dried herbs – but I suppose they could not ban those, or it would affect sales of culinary herbs. In fact culinary herbs can be used as medicine too, because for thousands of years medicine WAS herbs. And herbal medicine would not have survived so long if it hadn't worked. That is not to say that herbal medicine is without risk, but medical herbalists have the experience to advise and prescribe combinations and strengths of herbs that will be efficacious, without posing a health danger. Unlike many prescription medicines that are licensed despite acknowledged health dangers -… Read more

A founding father of family medicine at U-M gives gift to department he helped create
Gift creates endowed chairmanship decades after George Dean, M.D., first pressed for Department of Family Medicine at U-M
ANN ARBOR, MI – George A. Dean, M.D., one of the founding fathers of the family medicine specialty at the University of Michigan Health System, has given a gift to honor the department he helped to establish.
The $1.5 million gift from Dean – a physician in Southfield, Mich. – establishes the George A. Dean, M.D. Family Medicine Chair at the U-M Medical School. Thomas L. Schwenk, M.D., will be the first to hold the professorship; the appointment has been approved by the U-M Board of Regents.
Dean's gift is part of the President's Donor Challenge, a program launched by U-M President Mary Sue Coleman to create endowed professorships and support need-based financial aid. With an additional $500,000 from the Donor Challenge fund, the total value of the gift is $2 million. The gift – which is part of the University's $2.5 billion Michigan Difference campaign – is the first-ever endowed professorship for the U-M Department of Family Medicine.
"I believe that family medicine is the most logical, beneficial and cost-effective way of providing care to families," says Dean, who lives in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., and Boca Raton, Fla. "Since the moment we first suggested that U-M create a Department of Family Medicine, I have said that family physicians provide continuity of care, humanistic care and preventive medicine, and all of those things are vital for the care of families.
"I think of the department like a baby I had delivered," he adds.
It was 1975 when Dean and a few colleagues first presented the idea of a Department of Family Medicine to the U-M Board of Regents and the U-M Medical School. The department would encourage comprehensive, compassionate care for the entire family, as well as train future leaders in the specialty.
They persevered past some initial resistance, and in 1978, the Department of Family Medicine was created. Dean was named an adjunct assistant professor. Today, the department boasts more than 60 faculty members, a staff of 175, five community health centers, and outreach initiatives and research programs. The department was 6th in the nation in the most recent U.S. News & World Report rankings of graduate schools.
"Were it not for the vision of George Dean, this department may not even exist. Now we are thriving, and his generous gift will help us continue to thrive for a long time to come," Schwenk says. "I am extremely honored that I will hold a professorship that bears the name of one of the most important physicians in Michigan family medicine."
Dean has long been a national voice in support of increasing the number of family physicians, and he has served as president of the Michigan Academy of Family Physicians and vice president of the American Academy of Family Physicians. Among numerous accolades, he was named Michigan's Family Physician of the Year in 1985.
He continues practicing in Southfield and is a clinical associate professor in the Department of Family Medicine at Wayne State University in Detroit, where he earned his medical degree and later helped set up that school's family medicine program. Dean and his wife, Vivian, also are renowned in the world of collecting for one of the best and largest collections of antique chess sets, including the world's only Faberge chess set.

Natalie Portman Abandons Her Vegan Lifestyle During Pregnancy
To the vegan and vegetarian population, Natalie Portman, star of The Black Swan, has been somewhat of an icon. Since October 2009, Portman announced she was making the switch from vegetarian to vegan. She had been a vegetarian for many years, but decided to cut out all animal products from her diet, including milk and eggs.
Now, the mother-to-be has decided to become more lax with her diet. Earlier this week, Portman announced that she has started adding eggs and dairy products back into her diet.
"I actually went back to being vegetarian when I became pregnant. Just because I felt like I wanted that stuff, and I was listening to my body to have eggs and dairy and that sort of thing," she said. "I know there are people who do stay vegan [during pregnancy], but I think you have to just be careful, watch your iron levels and your B12 levels and supplement those if there are things you might be low in your diet."

Gen. Raymond T. Odierno was sworn in Wednesday as the Army's 38th Chief of Staff during a ceremony on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, Va. Odierno now takes on responsibility for training, equipping, maintaining and sustaining an Army of more than half a million Soldiers. Below are his initial thoughts to the U.S. Army as the 38th.
Today is like no other time in our history. We remain at war, and our top priority is to win the current fight. It is also a time of uncertainty and historic change. We face a multitude of security challenges, such as transnational and regional terrorism in places like Yemen, Somalia, North Africa and Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas. We have the uncertainty of the Arab Spring, the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and challenges of rising powers. All of this is underpinned by fiscal constraint.
Despite the challenges, we confront the future from a position of great strength. Our Army will continue to be the best equipped, best trained, and best led force in the world. The strength of our Nation is our Army; the strength of our Army is our Soldiers; the strength of our Soldiers is our Families. This is what makes us Army Strong.
Along with the Secretary of the Army, in the coming weeks I will share thoughts on our way forward. This includes sustaining our All-Volunteer Army, providing depth and versatility to the Joint Force, and ensuring flexibility for defense of our interests at home and abroad.
I am proud to serve in your ranks, filled by great men and women that willingly serve our country. You are courageous, confident, competent, and compassionate. You live our Army Values 24/7 in all you do. Discipline, high standards, and fitness are your watch words. You are the best our country has to offer. I look forward to seeing you as I visit your camps, posts, stations, and operating bases. Thank you for your steadfast dedication and loyal service to our Nation.
//Original Signed//
Raymond T. Odierno
Chief of Staff, U.S. Army

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jim Oberweis is pushing U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin to participate in more debates by releasing emails detailing campaign negotiations over venues.
Oberweis wants seven before Nov. 4. His campaign accused Durbin of limiting free speech, saying Durbin has only agreed to one.
Durbin spokesman Ron Holmes says nothing is finalized and campaigns were in the middle of discussions. He says emails released were edited down by Oberweis' campaign, which didn't respond to Durbin camp questions before going public. Holmes adds Oberweis agreed to one debate with his Republican primary challenger.

interesting article here:
The title is misleading - the 6 carriers are not in formal plans, they are merely 'possible'. It's interesting though, because if they even build a couple, that's a change in thinking. 'Big' blue-water strategic carrier aviation has been pretty much neglected by the Russians, (much like most countries apart from the US) and it seems to indicate the surge in pride that is happening in their armed forces at the moment. I'm sceptical they can afford it though...
There's no mention of what they plan to put on them. MiG-29K's? SU-33? What say you?

Harvard Business School Marketing Research Paper No. 07-043
In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework to explain whether and when the introduction of a new retail store channel helps and hurts sales in existing direct channels. A conceptual framework separates short- and long-run effects by analyzing the capabilities of a channel that help consumers accomplish their shopping goals. To test the theory, we analyze a unique data set from a high-end retailer using matching methods. We study the introduction of a retail store and find evidence of cross-channel cannibalization and synergy. The presence of a retail store decreases sales in the catalog, but not Internet channel, in the short term, but increases sales in both direct channels over time. Following the opening of the store, more first-time customers begin purchasing in the direct channels. These results suggest that adding a retail store to direct channels yields different results from adding an Internet channel to a retail store channel as previously studied.

While our airports have been upgraded, our attitude doesnt seem to have changed.
Once upon a time, not so long ago, arriving from an international destination into an Indian airport was a rude awakening. The stench of stale urine assaulted the nostrils as one disembarked and entered the terminal building. Passengers had to evade large puddles that dotted the uneven linoleum floor a result of leaking air-conditioning units that spewed and sputtered water in a heroic but unsuccessful attempt to cool the muggy environs.
Everywhere, asbestos sheets sagged dangerously from tubelight-illuminated ceilings, threatening to plummet any moment and concuss some unsuspecting passenger. The nauseating toilets were always clogged and invariably, the floors were wet and sticky. The baggage trolleys had a mind of their own and refused to travel in the direction you intended them to go. Duty Free shops were either non-existent or a joke. Jet-lagged passengers had to lug heavy hand luggage through labyrinthine corridors to eventually reach the immigration counter and then join serpentine queues to be allowed entry into the country.
The tattered luggage carousel took its time to creak into action. All this while you fervently prayed that the airline hadnt sent your suitcase to Botswana instead of Bombay. Luggage porters shiftily sidled up to you and sotto voce demanded a hundred dollars as a fee to clear your baggage through customs. When you explained that you werent importing anything dodgy they glowered at you and huffily strode away, annoyed that you had wasted their valuable time.
At customs, you felt like a criminal as you attempted to clear the Green Channel with a clear conscience. Despite the presence of porters, no one helped to load and unload your luggage from the X-ray machines. Fellow passengers gallantly assisted the old, the infirm, and the harried single mothers juggling strollers and bawling babies. Hawk-eyed customs officers scoured the contents of your suitcase for precious contraband that could be subjected to vast amounts of duty and penalty. You felt sorry for the woman whose lingerie was being held up in full public view and the guy who had been foolish enough to purchase an extra bottle of booze. If you managed to escape unscathed and exited the terminal building, a gaggle of touts engulfed you, offering cheap and best hotels and private taxis to take you into town. You protested you were not a foreigner or some NRI but

I was sitting at my home in Hollis, New York, on Wednesday, 14th of April 1982—I remember it so well—reading The New York Times , and I saw a picture of all these buddies of mine, the Golden 13, out to sea on a cruise. The headline said, "First Black Navy Officers Hold Reunion at Sea." It said there were only eight surviving members, and they were all at the reunion. So I pinched myself and said, "I know damn well I'm alive."
Right away I tried to call the guy at the Times . But then I thought, "I'm going to call the Navy. Not just the Navy, but Navy Intelligence." So I did, and told them about the article in the paper and how I wasn't with them. They questioned me for a little bit, then took my name and address and all that. I guess they did some checking to make sure I wasn't a crackpot.
For the rest of that day, I must have gotten 15 or 20 calls, each wanting to know the same things: where I was born, where I entered the Navy, what ships I had served in. It turned out that I came to be "lost" from the group because for a period of time, my last name had been recorded as "Hare." After all these calls, I got one from someone who said, "By golly, you are James Hair, aren't you?" And then, "Can you travel? Can you be ready in three hours? We'll have someone there to pick you up." Sure enough, within three hours a Navy car pulled up and took me to LaGuardia. I flew down to Norfolk, and they put me up in a motel. The next morning I was flown out to meet my buddies on the destroyer Kidd (DDG-993) at sea.
They had just told the guys I was coming—and there weren't many serious moments after that. As soon as I left the helicopter, my buddies started hugging and back-slapping and all that stuff. The Navy had been getting the group together regularly since 1977, but I hadn't seen some of these guys since 1944. We had a grand time—it was good to be back in the fold.
In 1986 historian Paul Stillwell began interviewing the surviving Golden 13 members for the Naval Institute's Oral History Program. The last of the group, Frank Sublett, died in September 2006. With the availability of James Hair's volume, all but one history—that of Jesse Arbor—has been completed.
Your tax-deductible gift to this or any oral history project will be appreciated. Donations can be mailed to the Naval Institute Foundation, 291 Wood Road, Annapolis, MD 21402, or made online at the Institute's website, www.usni.org (click "Donate").

METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF, NET AND NETLIKE PRODUCTS Filed Oct. 5, 1970 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 EXTRUDER v INVEN DR. BERNARD J. c NEY A T TOR/V575 United States Patent 3,723,218 METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF NET AND NETLIKE PRODUCTS Bernard J. Galfney, Stillwater, Minn., assignor to Conwed Corporation Filed Oct. 5, 1970, Ser. No. 78,080 Int. Cl. D01d 5/00; D04h 3/16 US. Cl. 156-167 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention related to a method and apparatus for producing a net or net like product from an extrudable polymer such as polypropylene. In accordance with the present invention, the apparatus for producing the product is comprised of a die having at least two die members, one of which is provided with either a plurality of orifices for the extrusion of a plurality of strands of polymer or a single orifice for the continuous extrusion of a sheet of polymer. The second die member is provided with a single orifice to which molten polymer is delivered and from which a molten polymer strand is forcefully ejected at predetermined intervals. The ejected strand is directed into physical contact with the extrudate of the first die member subsequent to extrusion thereof to cause bonding between the ejected strand and the extrudate to form the product. The extrudates may be brought together by angling the orifices of at least one of the die members towards the other die member or by directing one of the extrudates into the other subsequent to extrusion which may be done by placing a plate below one or more of the die member orifices to change the direction of the extrudate after it leaves the orifice. The strongest bond is achieved by bringing the two extrudates together immediately after extrusion so that the bond will form while the polymer takes a permanent set.
The word extrudate is used in this specification and claims to denote the state of the plastic material subsequent to its extrusion which is the same meaning used in the art.
The orifices in the first die member may be arranged in either a straight line or in an annular configuration to extrude a plurality of generally parallel longitudinal strands in either a straight or annular configuration respectively. If a sheet is to be extruded, the single orifice used to extrude the sheet may also be either straight or in an annular configuration to extrude a solid sheet or tube of polymer. If desired, the single orifice used to extrude a sheet or tube may be grooved or a plurality of closed cross section orifices may be provided adjacent the single orifice at appropriate locations to extrude a sheet or tube having a plurality of longitudinally extending ribs thereon.
The second die member orifice is preferably coextensive with the length or circumference of the first die member extrudate and may have either a fixed or variable opening. The orifice is preferably arranged to expel polymer transverse to and against one side of the first die member extrudate to form a sheet or tube having transverse ribbing 3,723,218 Patented Mar. 27, 1973 "ice thereon or a rectangular mesh net, depending on which of the above forms of the first die member is used. If desired, a third die member similar in construction and function to the second die member may be provided. The third die member orifice may be positioned to eject polymer on the side of the first die member extrudate opposite the side facing the second die member orifice to form a product having transverse strands on both sides.
The amount of polymer forcefully ejected from the second die member orifice determines the size of the transverse strand. In one embodiment of the invention, expulsion is periodic and is controlled by pulsing the polymer that is fed to the second orifice at periodic intervals under pressure. The polymer may be pulsed in any desired regular or irregular manner. It is this pulsating pressure which causes the forceful ejection of the polymer from the orifice. To aid in the ejection of the polymer, the orifice may be closed when the polymer '3 first fed to the second die member to permit the pressure force to consolidate the polymer during the closed period so that when the orifice is opened, the polymer is more quickly ejected.
In a second embodiment of the invention, the molten polymer is pulse fed to the second die member orifice and a portion of the second die member which forms the orifice is rotated to apply a centrifugal force to the polymer to forcefully eject it from the orifice. Pressure may be applied to the polymer as in the previous embodiment to give added impetus to the polymer as it is ejected by the centrifugal force.
In any case, the molten polymer must be ejected from the second die member orifice at sufficient velocity to cause bonding to the longitudinal strands or sheet, the sufiiciency of which is determined by viewing the bonding structure.
In all cases, the molten polymer may be supplied to the die members by any conventional means, such as a screw extruder. In addition, a single extruder may be used to supply polymer to both die members or separate extruders may be used to supply polymer to each die member individually.
Referring now to the drawings which depict various preferred embodiments of the invention and in which like numerals refer to like parts:
FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing of one embodiment of the die of the present invention shown in sections to illustrate the interior of the die.
FIG. 2 is a partial isometric drawing of the embodiment of FIG. 1 but excluding the manufactured product.
FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing of a second embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 4 is a view taken on line 44 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a partial schematic drawing of still another embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 6 is a partial plan view of one type of product which may be made with the apparatus of the present invention.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an apparatus 10 for the formation of a tubular shaped polymer net 13 having a rectangular mesh structure is depicted. The apparatus 10 is comprised of a die member 12 which has a cavity 14 therein for the reception of molten polymer supplied under pressure by conventional means, such as the depicted screw extruder 16. In communication with cavity 14 is a plurality of orifices 18 arranged in a circle as shown through which the polymer from extruder 16 is continuously extruded as a plurality of parallel longitudinal strands 20.
Surrounding die member 12 and mounted thereon by conventional means (not shown) is a hollow annular jacket 22 which comprises the second die member. Jacket 22 extends below die member 12 and has an inwardly extending horizontal lip or flange 24 thereon which defines a continuous annular orifice 25 (FIG. 2). The lip 24 ends just adjacent the orifice 18 and serves to direct the polymer ejected from the orifice 25 against the extruding longitudinal strands 20.
An extruder 26 for supplying molten polymer under pressure is placed adjacent jacket 22 and is connected thereto by a cylindrical feed line 28 through which the molten polymer supplied by the extruder 26 is fed to the jacket. A rotating spherical ball valve 30 for pulsing the polymer flow from the extruder to the jacket 22 is mounted on shaft 31 in enlarged section 32 of feed line 28. Ball valve 30 has a bore 34 therein and the ball valve is rotated by conventional means (not shown) in the plane of the FIG. 1 drawing to bring bore 34 in and out of registry with the feed line 28. When bore 34 is in the position shown in FIG. 1, polymer flows through line 28 to jacket 22. When the bore 34 is facing the wall of enlarged section 32, polymer flow to jacket 22 is cut off. It can readily be appreciated that the rotation of the ball valve 30 provides for a pulsed flow of polymer to the jacket 22. The relationship of the time between the open and closed positions of valve 30 is determined by the size of enlarged section 32. Extruder 26 may be provided with a conventional pressure relief device such as an accumulator or relief valve to limit and control the pressure buildup within the extruder when ball valve 30 is closed to prevent damage to the extruder.
When valve 30 is open, the extrusion pressure which urges the polymer into the jacket will tend to evenly distribute the polymer in the jacket. The extrusion pressure also urge the polymer in the jacket 22 downwardly toward the orifice 25 where the polymer is forcefully ejected by the extrusion pressure and directed against the extruding longitudinal strands 20 by lip 24 to form the transverse strand 36. The size of the transverse strand is essentially determined by the amount of polymer that periodically flows through valve 30. Transverse strand size may be easily varied by providing the valve with a conventional speed control such as a voltage regulator if an electric rotation means is used or by providing the extruder with a conventional device to vary the extrusion pressure or a combination of the two.
The polymer ejected from the second die member may not have the sharp cut off required to form a well defined strand. The cut off of the extruded polymer strand may be improved by means of an airtight system in conjunction with the horizontal lip 24 which changes the direction of the polymer immediately prior to extrusion since the relatively viscous polymer has to be forced around the sharp bend. If desired, the lip 24 may be positioned to angle downwardly and in such case the cut off will not be very well defined which may be of advantage for the product at hand such as a solid wall tube or sheet.
If desired, an annular shield (not shown) may be mounted on the die member 12 to project down inside the annulus defined by the holes 18 to provide a backing for the longitudinal strands 20 against the force of the ejected polymer.
Referring to an alternate embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the die member 39 has an annular cavity 40 therein for the reception of polymer from the extruder 16. In fluid communication with the annular cavity 40 are a plurality of orifices 41 for the extrusion of a plurality of longitudinal strands 20 substantially as described above for the previous embodiment.
Annular cavity 40 has a central tube 42 which has a bore 44 therein to which molten polymer from extruder 26 is fed through feed line 28 for subsequent ejection.
Mounted within bore 44 is a vertically moveable shaft 48. Mounted on the shaft 48 at its lower extremity is a horizontal annular plate 50 spaced a predetermined distance below die member 39 to form an annular orifice 51 for the ejection of polymer, contained within the bore 44 against the extruding longitudinal strands 20. The plate has a diameter less than that of the circle defined by the inner edges of the orifices 41, but a larger diameter may be provided if the plate is notched (not shown) in the region of the orifices 41 to permit the unobstructed, continuous extrusion of the longitudinal strands 20.
Shaft 48 extends upwardly through bore 44 and slidably through a plunger block 52 which is in turn slidably mounted in the bore 44. Shaft 48 is supported in fixed position at the top of die member 39 by conventional means (not shown). Plunger block 52 is mounted on a pair of rods 54 which extend upwardly through bore 56 and are connected to spacer block 58. Spacer block 58 serves to tie both rods together and the block is reciprocated vertically by conventional means (not shown) such as a cam. When molten polymer is fed under pressure to bore 44 from extruder 26, the flow of polymer from the extruder to the bore is continuous and with the plunger block 52 in the position shown, the polymer will fiow to the annular plate from which it will be ejected by the extruder pressure against the extruding longitudinal strands 20 in the general form of a circular transverse strand 36 which will not in most cases be as well defined as shown in the drawings. To support the extruding longitudinal strands against the thrust of the ejected polymer, die member 39 provided with a flange 59 which extends downwardly below the point at which the ejected polymer contacts the longitudinal strands. Although it is desirable to support the longitudinal strands against the thrust of the ejected polymer it is not necessary to do so and flange 59 may be removed if desired.
Flow of polymer to the annular plate is controlled by raising or lowering the plunger block 52. When the plunger block is raised, an open area is formed between the block and the polymer flowing into the bore 44 and the polymer thereby flows into the lower pressure open area instead of to the annular plate, which is at atmospheric pressure. Returning the block to its rest position forces the molten polymer into and out of orifice 51 against the extruding longitudinal strands. It will be appreciated from the foregoing that the continuous flow of polymer from extruder 26 is converted into a discontinuous, pulsed flow by the raising and lowering of the plunger block. The amount of polymer intermittently fed to the plate 50 is determined by the frequency at which the plunger block is moved up and down and the length of the plunger block stroke. In any given period of time, the amount of polymer delivered by extruder 26 is of course equal to the total amount of polymer extruder from the die member.
To aid in ejecting the polymer from the orifice 51, the shaft 48 and plate 50 may be rotated by conventional means (not shown) either in continuous manner or it may be rotated periodically and in synchronism with the plunger motion by conventional means (not shown) so that the rotation occurs only when the polymer is being ejected from the plate. Rotation of the plate aids in ejecting the polymer thereon by centrifugally inducing the polymer to exit from the orifice 51, thereby increasing the ejection force. The increased ejection force tends to enhance the degree of bonding between the longitudinal strands and the ejected polymer. Additionally, the shaft 48 and plate 50 may be made moveable in a vertical direction by conventional means (not shown) to squeeze the polymer as it is being ejected to further increase the ejection force. If a well defined transverse strand is desired the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5 is employed or plate 50 may be moved upwardly to completely close the space between the two die members. Vertical movement of the plate may be used either alone or in conjunction with rotation to achieve a maximum ejection force. However, rotation is not used when the plate 50 is notched as described above because the plate portions between the notches would then interfere with the flow of the longitudinal strands. If desired, the plunger block 52 may be eliminated and plate 50 rotatedor reciprocated to supply the necessary ejection force.
FIG. 4 depicts a somewhat varied embodiment of the apparatus of FIG. 3. More specifically, the orifices 41 of FIG. 3 have been replaced by a single annular orifice 53 from which a tube of polymer 62 (FIG. 6) is extruder instead of a plurality of individual strands. If desired, a plurality of strands 55 (FIG. 6) may be extruder integrally with the tube by providing a plurality of grooves 57 around the periphery of the annular orifice 53 or the strands may be extruded separately as 'by separate orifices 61 and bonded to the tube subsequent to the extrusion of the tube by directing the two into contact with each other.
FIG. is essentially a duplicate of the apparatus described in connection with FIG. 3 with the addition of an annular ring 60 which is mounted on the die 39. Ring 60 is designed for use with the apparatus of FIG. 3 should it be desired to provide a sharper flow cut 01f at the orifice 51 then would be available with the structure of FIG. 3. In operation, polymer is pulse fed to the plate 50 while the plate is in contact with the ring 60 to permit the polymer to build up against the ring to create a preformed slug of polymer 65. The plate may be rotated while the plate is in contact with the ring although this is not particularly desirable because the friction between the ring and plate would generate unnecessary wear. After a predetermined build-up of polymer against the ring 60 has occurred, the plate '50 is moved downwardly to allow ejection of the entire preformed polymer slug 65. The plate may 'be rotated conjointly with its downward movement to centrifugally aid in the ejection of the slug. Preforming the slug of polymer in the manner described tends to decrease the time needed for complete ejection of the slug and it also tends to decrease the longitudinal direction length of the transverse strand 36 to tend to give a net structure having larger open pore areas than usual.
Although two extruders are shown in FIG. 3 embodiment, it is to be understood that a single extruder may be used to feed polymer under pressure to the cavity 40 and the bore 44 as long as an opening is provided in hollow tube 42 to permit polymer to flow into the bore 44. Pulsing in this instance will be controlled by movement of the plunger 52 as described above. Alternately, where a separate extruder is used to supply polymer to bore 44 as shown in FIG. 3, the plunger 52 may be removed and a ball valve as shown in FIG. 1 may be inserted in feed line 28 to control the pulsing of the polymer to the bore 44. This may also be achieved by use of a single extruder having two feed lines (not shown) one of which feeds cavity 40 and the other of which feeds the bore 44 which arrangement may also be used in the FIG. 1 embodiment. Additionally, a plunger such as plunger 52 made in the form of an annular ring may be mounted in jacket 22 to control pulsation of polymer in the structure of FIG. 1 as described for the FIG. 3 embodiment. In such case the ball valve 30 maybe eliminated. Ball valve 30 shown in the FIG. 1 embodiment may be replaced by a vertical tube extending from the feed line 28 (not shown), in which the plunger 52 of FIG. 3 may be slidably mounted to effectuate the pulsing of polymer to the jacket 22 in substantially the same manner as described in connection with the FIG. 3 embodiment.
In either of the embodiments described in connection with the FIG. 1, 3 or 5 embodiment, orifices 18 or 41 may be omitted and one large annular orifice (not shown) used in place of the plurality of orifices to extrude a continuous sheet of polymer. Also, the grooves 57 or orifices 61 shown in FIG. 4 may be provided along with the continuous annular orifices in any of the embodiments if this is desired. The impingement of transverse ribs and 55 are the longitudinal ribs. It is to be noted that the longitudinal ribs need not be present and the product may comprise only a solid tube or sheet 62 with transverse ribs 64.
Many modifications of the described apparatus for the manufacture of net and not like products by the pulse feeding and forceful ejection of polymer against longitudinal strands, sheet or tubes will occur to those skilled in the art and it is intended to cover all changes and modifications of the preferred embodiments of the invention which do not constitute departures from the spirit and scope of the invention.

The Common written exams (CWE) for recruitment of Banking Clerk are going to conducted by Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS ) from 0th November 2013, 1st December 2013, 7th December 2013, 8th December 2013, 14th December 2013, and 15th December 2013.
Defiantly, its a national level banking recruitment exam so their cut offs and result criteria are going high day by day. So, its must thing to clear the Clerk exam with flying color to get the job in indian banks via ibps exam.
So, here i am sharing some tips for you people to crack the banking exam or IBPS Clerk exam in easy way, subject wise.
As you people know, IBPS clerk exam will be of 2 hour with 200 marks of question, 5 section, 40 marks each. And all question will be objective type, 0.25 minus marks for each wrong answers. The section will be Reasoning, English Language, Numerical Ability, General Awareness with Special reference to the Banking Industry and Computer Knowledge.
On my another blog, i have share some more tips on how to crack ibps clerk exam, you can check it out here..
Subject wise Tips and tricks to crack IBPS Bank Clerk exam 2013
Numerical Ability Subject
For Maths section, you have practiced the questions. if you have the question books or any books to practice it, then use it now. They will ask you questions based on approximation, averages, simplification, profit and loss calculations, data interpretations which will quite time consuming, so at that time you need to show your skills to solve it in easy way.
English Language In section of English, you need reading speed on computer screen. So, for that, start preparation for now only for questions on grammar, vocabulary, sentence completion, synonyms, antonyms.
Keep solving various puzzles and quizzes test to get grip in reasoning subject. Unlike other subject, how many times you practice, they will give you brand new puzzle to solve in exam, so all you need to do is keep finding new puzzle and solve it in time.
General Awareness with special reference to the Banking industry:
For that, keep reading general awareness books + news papers + all government portal's official site statistics for various scheme of government. go to the official portals and find the official data, they will ask you anytime. Keep on reading the current affairs sports, finance, banking, politics and all other sectors.
Computer Knowledge
They will ask you questions on computer components, structure, network, languages, internet, and you all are quite good in this subject, as per my assumption. you can still get some hand book to for computer knowledge, more then enough.
so, that's enough i guess for each subject. Not? shoot me in comment below, i will try to answer your query for sure.
See, if you want to get your career in banking industries then you have to be prepared to fight with huge competition, have faith in your self, success will be yours soon!

I know this has been done to death, but I've looked at the old threads and can't find the answer.
My new crank creaks particularly when pushing hard on the left pedal, but the noise sometime disappears when it is extremely cold (November in Scotland). Everything seems tight, as I tightened the crank every 25 miles when first installed (got about 2 or 300 miles on now), and the BB is a sealed Stronglight one, again new. I have checked frame and seatpost (steel frame)
Could it just be the way the alloy and steel react to changes in temperature.?
has anyone used PTFE tape over the BB taper ends to help fit crankarms?

True Blood
True Blood Spoilers: Is Bill God? Alan Ball Teases Season 6 Plotlines
True Blood's Season 5 finale left us with a lot of questions — especially about Bill Compton. The shocking final moments had us convinced that our favorite vamp was a goner, but then he rose from a pool of blood, stark naked, just like the ancient vampire we saw a lot of this season: Lilith. But the question is, was he reborn as Billith?
"I don't want to say if he is or he isn't," creator Alan Ball told TVLine. "Who's to say what Lilith really is? He is still Bill but he is something different."
Is the old Bill lost and gone forever? Not quite.
"It is Bill, but it is a transformed Bill. He is not a completely new person," Alan added. "It's not like his memories or his experiences have been left out and he's just a baby."
And since the departing showrunner technically doesn't have any say on what will happen to Bill next season, he has a few questions of his own.
"Is he going to be evil? What does he want? What is he going to do? Will he be able to revert back to Bill? That's for future seasons," Alan spilled. "The implication, certainly, is that he is more ferocious."
And since Eric swept in to save the day more than once on the finale, does that make him the latest True Blood hero? Alan isn't so sure.
"I never really looked at Eric as the bad guy and Bill as the good guy — at least not since the very early seasons," Alan admitted. "But it remains to be seen what will go down with both of them."
One other finale mystery involved the elusive Warlow. When asked if the vamp was someone we've met before, Alan kept his lips sealed, but did say, "We didn't want to really define Warlow until the next season."
So, does that mean that True Blood Season 6 will be Warlow-centric? Perhaps.
"I think he'll be kind of a big part in it," Alan spilled. And hopefully he'll be doing more than haunting Sookie's bathroom!
To read the rest of Alan's finale Q&A, head over to TVLine.
What are you most excited about for Season 6, Truebies? Tell us below!

Quick fact 1
Most plants need more hydration at critical times in their life cycles, such as when they are young and growing quickly, after transplanting, while setting buds and when fruit or seeds are developing. Note that shallow-rooted plants need closer monitoring for signs of dehydration than deep-rooted specimens, which are better able to tap into groundwater.
Quick fact 2
It's a myth that water droplets act as lenses on plant tissue, causing scorching; if it were true, plants would be reduced to smouldering heaps when the sun comes out after a rain shower!

MOORESVILLE – Gavin Arsenault frequently can be heard telling his staff to "make it happen!" if unforeseen challenges threaten to derail an event at Trump National Golf Club Charlotte.
When the weather is clear enough for clouds to reflect on the lake surface that hugs the perimeter of the club, Donald Trump's $10 million investment in the property sparkles.
Trump, who bought and renamed the club April 6, 2012, for $3 million, has enacted a series of changes, encompassing everything from the menu to the Greg Norman-designed golf course.
Arsenault, the club's general manager, originally met Trump 15 years ago at a book signing near Juniper, Fla. Trump held Arsenault's daughter, Hannah, just a baby at the time, and signed a copy of "Trump: The Art of the Comeback."
A framed photograph of the event hangs right outside Arsenault's office. He never dreamed he'd one day be working for the famous family.
"Mr. Trump actually calls me quite often and asks how my family is," Arsenault said. "It's still a little surreal."
Those personal touches extend to club residents like NASCAR driver Matt Kenseth or PGA tournament player Martin Kaymer when they experience a win and receive Trump gift baskets.
Reporting directly to Trump's son, Eric, Arsenault has overseen a variety of renovations to the club's golf course, ballroom, dining rooms, tennis courts and bakery shop over the last 12 months.
For starters, the bakery now features a vast selection of wines as well as Starbucks coffee. Meanwhile, the golf course is stretching from 6,900 to 7,500 yards, with a larger driving range and greens transitioning to Bermuda grass, which is more heat-resistant. Arsenault anticipates renovations will be completed by August.
Right across the cobble stone square from the Nantucket-style clubhouse is a Trump International Realty office, which opened in late April.
"Trump International Realty is a big deal around the world. Ivanka (Trump's daughter) is heavily involved in it," Arsenault said. "We're the last club they bought, and the first one to get it done. So New York's pretty impressed that we're opening a real estate office so soon."
He said the company, with locations in Las Vegas, Chicago and New York City, manages a database of more than 100,000 people around the world interested in buying lake property and connects them with home sellers.
"Sometimes the lake is a secret until people come to the area," said Gloria Monahan, Arsenault's assistant. "It's a wonderful, well-kept secret."
Between December 2012 and March 2013, an outdoor wedding gazebo area overlooking the lake transformed into an interior, circular space with ample natural sunlight. That area now flows into the Lakefront Ballroom, complete with Italian crystal chandeliers.
"It used to be like a barn setting," Arsenault said. "It had a dark feel with blue walls and a dark floor."
Monahan said the updated dancing venue has "no competition in the area."
The club's tavern menu is even in the throes of change.
"We are trying to transition more into the healthy lifestyle," Arsenault said. "Southern comfort foods is maybe a thing of the past for us. We're moving toward daily, fresh products from fish to fruits."
Everything in the dining area including the menu jackets, tables and placemats match Trump's 14 other golf clubs in Los Angeles, Scotland and Washington, D.C. Trump even hand-selected the golfers' photographs that hang on their walls.
Members in this area hail from The Farms neighborhood nearby and from far-off locales including Miami, London and Hong Kong.
"The club has a total of 1,050 members, which is significantly up from when the Trumps originally bought it," Arsenault said.
Those memberships include social, sports and golf categories, and Arsenault believes membership levels will stay stable for the foreseeable future.
He also doesn't anticipate much more expansion for the club.
"I see the club as probably updating its amenities, keeping them updated and modernized, but the club is pretty much landlocked," he said.

Comments about Learning Resources Magnetic Demonstration Handwriting Paper:
Have one of these in my second grade classroom and have used it daily for the last five years. I use it each day for assignments, lists of activity choices, examples of for written work. I have the date (written two different ways) on the top that I change daily. I am ordering a new version because my current whiteboard sheet has developed pockmarks in the areas where I change the date and along lines where the weekly reading assignment is written. I have been using dry erase markers. Did not know that this product details using wet erase. Will switch marker type and hope this version holds up even longer than 5 years!

Comments about Learning Resources Magnetic Demonstration Handwriting Paper:
I was given this by a teacher who was retiring. She had used it for years. I have used it for 10 years and feel it is, maybe, time to get another sheet. I use it everyday for all of my written communications. I have had "permanent" marker used on it by mistake and was able to get it cleaned off. I am so happy to recommend this product.

Reasons for performing study: Blood lactate concentration has been shown to be a useful clinical indicator in human patients, but has not been formally investigated in critically ill foals.
Objective: To investigate the association of blood lactate with hospital survival, markers of cardiovascular status, metabolic acid base status, sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).
Methods: A database containing clinical, haematological, plasma biochemical and hospital outcome data on neonatal foals referred to an intensive care unit in 2000-2001 was analysed. Seventy-two foals for which arterial lactate was measured at admission were included in the study.
Results: Sixty-one foals had an admission lactate concentration >2.5 mmol/1. Admission lactate was statistically associated with hospital survival, mean arterial pressure, blood creatinine concentration, bacteraemia, anion gap, lactate concentration at 18-36 h after admission and evidence of SIRS, but not with packed cell volume or heart rate. Lactate at 18-36 h was also associated with survival and evidence of SIRS. Anion gap, base excess, base excess due to unidentified anions (BEua), simplified strong ion gap or bicarbonate correctly classified foals for presence of hyperlactaemia (>5 mmol/1) in 80% of animals.
Conclusions: Admission blood lactate gives important prognostic information. Lactate should be measured rather than assumed from the anion gap, base excess, BEua, simplified strong ion gap or bicarbonate.
Potential relevance: Blood lactate concentrations at admission are clinically relevant in neonatal foals and warrant further investigation. This should include the clinical value of measuring changes in lactate in response to treatment.

Need to give a push to growth: Mayaram
Jan 15 2014 , New Delhi
"The softening in the inflation is basically something that both the RBI and government have been anticipating and there is a need obviously now to push for growth.
"We need to create virtuous cycle where as inflation goes down, growth must go up. And for that whatever is required to be done, ought to be done," he told reporters here.
A moderation in vegetable prices helped to pull down inflation to a five-month low of 6.16 per cent in December, raising hopes of a rate cut by the Reserve Bank later this month to boost sagging growth.
December retail inflation also fell to three-month low of 9.87 per cent.
Industry chambers have pitched for lower interest rates to prop up growth. Industrial output in November contracted 2.1 per cent, the worst performance in six months.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is scheduled to unveil the third quarter review of monetary policy on January 28.
In the mid-quarter review of monetary policy on December 18, RBI had left key policy rates unchanged but said it will hike interest rates if inflation does not subside in line with the expected declining trend.
RBI had kept short-term lending rate unchanged at 7.75 per cent, while the cash reserve ratio (CRR) remained at 4 per cent.
India's economic growth has slipped to decade low of 5 per cent in 2012-13 and in the current fiscal it estimated to be around the same level.

The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead Spoiler: When Will We Meet The Governor on Season 3?
It's happening, people, though actor David Morrisey's on-screen version of the Governor may not totally jibe with what comic book fans are expecting...
"What I love about [David's] take on The Governor is that he's not the obvious villain, he's very charming and seductive," Laurie Holden (Andrea) dished to Access Hollywood on October 22. "You don't really get that he's evil. He's the perfect sociopath. From the outside you think this man is amazing."
TV Guide adds that while the Governor's "big secret in the comics [i]sn't exactly shown in his debut episode, there's something even more troubling he's hiding behind closed doors." Sounds ominous!
Andrea and Michonne (Danai Gurira) will come face-to-face with this scary dude on the October 28 episode, titled "Walk With Me." Also making an appearance after a long hiatus? Daryl's (Norman Reedus) older brother Merle (Michael Rooker).

Peter King is one of the best NFL writers in the nation and as a national guy his perspective can sometimes be instructive to help local fans take blinders off. As a follower of the Browns, it's pretty easy to lose perspective on the more overarching story-lines that make up an NFL season or era as you're consistently living and dying with week-to-week results. It's with that in mind that it's definitely worth considering when Peter King instructs Browns fans to "Stop cursing Joe Banner and Mike Lombardi."
Just stop it. Do you know how much those two men helped you draft Manziel? With Banner and Lombardi running the 2013 draft, the Browns traded their fourth-round pick to Pittsburgh in exchange for the Steelers' third-round pick in 2014; that was the 83rd overall pick in this year's draft. In September, Banner/Lombardi traded running back Trent Richardson to Indianapolis for the Colts' first-round pick in 2014; that was the 26th overall pick in this year's draft. On Thursday, Farmer traded those two picks—26 and 83 overall—to Philadelphia for the 22nd overall pick, the pick he used to draft Manziel.
Peter King is right, of course. Joe Banner and Michael Lombardi's fingerprints were all over this NFL draft thanks to the fact that the Browns had the Colts' first round draft pick as well as extra picks from the Steelers and (again) Colts due to the largely punted 2013 NFL draft. Those aren't the only fingerprints that Banner and Lombardi left on this team though.
That duo along with Jimmy Haslam lorded over a coaching search that resulted in a one-and-done Rob Chudzinski. They were partially responsible for the Browns coaching search that was the subject of national embarrassment and scorn even if I did end up kind of liking the prospects of Mike Pettine and Kyle Shanahan. They stood responsible for a team that went 4-12 including a rushing attack that featured 138 carries by Willis McGahee. Most importantly, they were responsible for an environment and structure inside Berea that was such that Jimmy Haslam felt it would be more productive to move forward without Joe Banner and Michael Lombardi altogether.
So, Peter King is right that these two men helped deliver Johnny Manziel, but he seems to want to white wash all the things that they did that made the Browns so awful in 2013. Sorry if I don't think it's nothing that the Browns only won four games and had high draft picks in every round this year. This is one of the cases where Peter King doesn't seem to get it. The Browns fans, in essence, paid those bills by watching awful football while living through tumultuous and embarrassing levels of instability from the top down inside the Cleveland Browns hierarchy. You'll have to excuse me if I don't look at the ends here and just decide it's honoring the truth to say they justified the means.
I don't know about you, but I'm not done cursing about the last twelve months and for someone to demand that I should is lacking in proper perspective. I still love Peter King and his invaluable voice, but I think he's gotten this one all wrong.

Hello, I am considering selling a few bikes and have this mid-80s Merckx with mostly C record components including Delta brakes. Frame is Columbus SLX. Trying to get an idea on value. Bike is in very good condition.
Thanks in advance!
Hello, I am considering selling a few bikes and have this mid-80s Merckx with mostly C record components including Delta brakes. Frame is Columbus SLX. Trying to get an idea on value. Bike is in very good condition.
Thanks in advance!
Beauty! Top notch.
The size will be a bit of a challenge. I'll start the ball rolling by throwing out a SWAG (sophisticated wild ass guess).
I grow old, I grow old. I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Well...maybe. The taller Merckx bikes don't seem to fetch the prices that the 53-57cm sizes bring, even though it's SLX with a nice group and in beautiful shape.
Hard at work in the Secret Underground Laboratory...
Stop torturing that rear derailleur!
Nice bike.
JYB - I had the same thought after I posted the pic. Brutal! Will fix.
WOW if this did not make the cut, I can't imagine what the others are.
Bianchis '87 Sport SX, '90 Proto, '90 Campione del Fausto Giamondi Specialisma Italiano Mundo, '91 Boarala 'cross, '93 Project 3, '86 Volpe, '97 Ti Megatube, , '90 something Vento 603,
Others but still loved,; '80 RIGI, '80 Batavus Professional, '87 Cornelo, '09 Motobecane SOLD, '?? Jane Doe (still on the drawing board), '90ish Haro Escape
Big bikes don't sell very well. I guess you would get around $1000-$1200.
Just send it out here. I'll dispose of it for you. ;-)
Bend, OR
For 1000 I probably know someone who would take it.
In my opinion it is worth much more however. The C-Record Group could bring alone 900 dollars in good condtion
Thanks for the responses. I have a Merckx MXL as well, so the red/white one is a bit redundant. Wonderful bike, though. Will try to keep it if I can.
What size is it? sick bike man.
Hi, if it's a 60 c-c, I could be interested. I need to replace my Weigle that was lost to a car crash a couple of weeks ago. Well, maybe not replace, but use until I get to the front of his queue, whenever that might be.
Thanks. I believe it is a 62 with a 58 tt. I will get specific measurements and report back.
My bent Weigle, which I'm looking to get something to use while it's repaired or replaced, is a 59 c-c seat tube, 57 c-c top. If this bike is a similar size, let's talk.

A: While tea tree oil is a recommended acne treatment for teens and adults, there's evidence that it can cause pre-pubescent males to develop breasts. Instead of tea tree oil or harsh over-the-counter treatments, opt for a mild, non-medicated facial cleanser. If more blemishes appear, consider talking to a family doctor about other safe acne solutions.
A: Tea tree oil has a particular scent that some people may find unpleasant. However, because the oil is diluted before use, the scent becomes less heavy and fades throughout the day.

Jermaine Jones Offended That His Name Was Dragged Into American Idol Racism Claim
February 04, 2013 11:00 AM by Lisa Princ
American Idol was recently accused of racial discrimination, and many former contestants have come forward to stand up for the show, calling the claims bogus. In fact, even Jermaine Jones, whose disqualification last year was cited as a catalyst for the claims, is standing up for the show. What did Jones have to say about the claims?
We recently learned that attorney James H. Freeman is looking to sue Fox and American Idol on behalf of nine former contestants, after he claims that he did some digging last season after Jermaine Jones was booted from the show for outstanding warrants. Jones, however, was not included in the list of former contestants claiming racism, and he recently revealed that he is downright offended that his name was brought into the mess and he wants no part of it all.
Questioned by TMZ recently because his name was dragged into the whole racism mess, Jermaine Jones told the site: "I am offended they tried to paint me as a victim of discrimination. I appreciate the experience from 'Idol' and embraced the good and bad from it." Jones also believes that he is being used for publicity by the former contestants, adding: ""I have moved on with my life and have not authorized them to include me in the accusations."
What do you think of this possible lawsuit? Do you feel that the former contestants have a valid complaint? What do you think of Jermaine Jones' comments? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear it. Comment below to share your thoughts with us.

The Internet. Cellphones. Tab. Tretorns. It's sort of shocking, but the world has undeniably changed.
Updating three novels—without changing them at all—was a tremendous challenge, but when you're nineteen, and you're stupid enough to decide to write a book, it doesn't occur to you that it might be very dated someday. Actually, it doesn't even occur to you that it might be published—by an editor who maybe should have thought twice—so, you're not inclined to make sensible plans.When I wrote The President's Daughter, I was Meg's age. Now, in the wake of Long May She Reign, I'm the President's age—which means that I really need to start dressing in a more presentable manner.
But, I digress.
I shudder to disclose that all three books were written on an ancient manual typewriter, which means that they didn't even exist on a floppy disk somewhere, and I had to retype about twelve hundred pages. Which took forever.
It was pretty easy just to have Meg go off and check her email every now and then, or use a cellphone instead of a landline—although, granted, in Meg's case, it's a super-secure, high-tech satellite communications system. I should probably have had her do more texting—but, it would have gotten in the way of the story, and been pretty boring, to boot. But, throwing it into a key spot in Long Live the Queen felt, to me—your mileage may vary—as though it added some extra emotional resonance to the scene.
It never even crossed my mind that the Plaza Hotel would turn into multi-million dollar condominiums for people who probably only spend a week or two in New York once a year—even though, sadly, that is what has come to pass.
But, you know, the nominee-to-be and her family should have been at the Waldorf in the first place. I like it much better now, and think it's a lot more fun this way—especially when Meg and her father pretty much want to smack the Nominee-to-be for being so utterly unimpressed by her opulent surroundings.
However, I wasn't going to cut Joan Jett. No way. Not a chance. Never happen. I also figured out a way to keep The Brady Bunch—and even throw a nod in the direction of my beloved Hill Street Blues. Preston is possibly a little bit younger than we thought—because events in later books made it pretty clear that he needed to be. The Soviet Union is now old news—or, maybe not, after all. The Berlin Wall fell, but things really haven't improved at all in the Middle East. And—I have to say it again—we still haven't elected a female President.
On a more positive note, between 1982 and now, the Red Sox have won the World Series.

THE results of the bypolls on August 21 will decide whether the maha gathbandhan or grand alliance that Nitish Kumars JD(U) has stitched up with Lalu Prasads RJD, with the Congress as its third wheel, can live up to its promise on paper to put up a fight against an ascendant BJP in Bihar. All three parties were swept aside by the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls. The performance of the grand alliance in these bypolls will give the verdict on what is being touted as a unique experiment in opposition unity against the BJP. If successful in Bihar, it could resonate in other parts of the country.
But essentially, this is a story of Nitish Kumar. Travel in Bihar, from Patna to Hajipur to Chhapra and Bhagalpur the last three among the 10 constituencies headed for bypolls and the signs are unmistakable that he is the tragic hero of this election and this experiment. No matter what the results on August 25, and even if the grand alliance wins more seats than the BJP, Nitish stands to lose the most politically.
Less than five years ago, in 2010, he was the incumbent chief minister who swept Bihar. At that time, the BJP was by his side but the vote was won in his name and primarily on his slogan of sushasan or good governance. Of course, Nitish had done astute social engineering of his own giving reservations in panchayats to Extremely Backward Classes, and rolling out programmes and schemes for the Mahadalits, a category he also created. But it was arguably the remarkable work done by his government in its first term from 2005-2010 in restoring law and order and building roads that brought him a broad mandate in a famously caste-riven state. He was credited with recasting the crude and pessimistic social justice versus development opposition propagated in Lalu raj into a fine and forward-looking balance.
But now, in the joint campaign run by the grand alliance, the Nitish model seems drowned in an older noise. His sushasan is relegated and eclipsed all but cast away as the slogan that couldnt hold its own in the Lok Sabha polls against the false dreams and poison purveyed by Modis prachar tantra or propaganda machine.
The Nitish-Lalu-Congress campaigns message and hype are all about uniting the forces of samajik nyaya (social justice) and secularism to combat Modi.
