Heading into the USA vs. Australia matchup in the semifinals, Australia-based Top Shot Community Representative Brad Munnings wrote about what it feels like for the most talented Boomers team in history to be one win away from the final -- with the #1 team in the world standing in its way.
"For us to be able to be the best we have to beat the best, and we have an opportunity in front of us right now to be able to take that step" - Patty Mills
Words that give this proud Australian goosebumps as we wait for the much-anticipated semi-final. Glory awaits the winning team and from Australia's point of view, uncharted territory and the history books are on the line.
Today, a nation sits on the edge of its seat as an inspired Boomers squad full of grit and defensive hustle takes on the star-studded, offensive beast that is Team USA.
If the quality of basketball so far is any indication of what we might witness in this historic game, you can guarantee we'll be watching a fierce contest. We know this Australian Boomers squad is hungry for ultimate success. Meanwhile, Team USA has been called The Dream Team for two decades for a reason.
We have seen an inspired and determined Patty Mills, who was already making headlines back home as the first Indigenous Australian to bear the flag for his country - ever. He carried himself into the games with one thing on his mind: gold.
A nation watched on, in awe of a person who encapsulates exactly what it means to be a proud Australian, and we couldn't be prouder of everything you have achieved, and what you are about to do.
Joining Mills on the hunt for gloryare NBA talents such as Matisse Thybulle (Philadelphia 76ers) giving fans chills with his shutdown defense, Dante Exum (Houston Rockets) attacking the rim like never before, Josh Green (Dallas Mavericks) playing a defensive role, and for a brief period of time, Oklahoma City Thunder rookie guard, Josh Giddey. Although Giddey did not don the green and gold, he got to experience the Boomers culture with the team ahead of the games, which will no doubt be a valuable experience as he transitions into the bright lights of the NBA.
Not to mention the flair of the San Antonio Spurs' newest Aussie, Jock Landale, and important role-player, Nick Kay, who is certainly making his case for a call up to the big leagues.
With the leadership of NBA veterans such as Matthew Dellavedova (Cleveland Cavaliers), Joe Ingles (Utah Jazz), and Aron Baynes (Toronto Raptors) -- who unfortunately will take no further part due to injury-- we have seen a nation daring to dream of what this group can achieve.
Meanwhile, the US is a sleeping giant led by former league MVP and two-time NBA champion, Kevin Durant. This squad is loaded with championship rings, potential Hall of Fame candidates, All-Stars and some of the biggest names in the NBA , all focused on one thing: gold.
Team USA's star-studded lineup has been tested, though. The Dream Team -- backed by a 29-point performance from Durant -- fought off a red-hot Spain squad and survived a 38-point outburst from now Cavaliers guard Ricky Rubio. Jayson Tatum, Damian Lillard, and Draymond Green all chipped in, showcasing why Team USA is touted as the best team in the world.
The scene is set for the most important game in Australian basketball history in their quest for a historic medal. Going in on a two-game winning streak against Team USA, dare we dream?
Get 'em, Pat.

Android's WebView component provoked a widespread crash last month that caused dozens of apps to stop running, including Gmail, Google Pay and several banking apps. The severity of the error — which lasted for up to eight hours before a permanent fix was issued — has prompted Google to make additional changes with the aim of avoiding another calamity.
In a new status report, Google explains the causes of the crash and details the WebView improvements it plans to implement. Any apps that relied on WebView to open web pages crashed as a result of a bug in the software's experiment and configuration technology, the company noted. In order to fix the issue, Google had to issue new versions of both Chrome and WebView via Google Play for automated and manual updates.
Key to its WebView improvements is a new "Safe Mode" that would see the app revert to a good state should history repeat itself. Google also plans on accelerating Chrome and WebView updates on the Play store. In addition, it's pledging to audit the app and better communicate with users during incidents. In a nod to the businesses and developers that were likely inundated with complaints for a crash they didn't cause, Google says it will work with its partners to provide commentary on incident impact and resolution status.

I think this experience has had a large impact on how I initially believed research could be conducted. It definitely affected my perception of how involve you can become in your research depending on what methods you are utilizing. Since I conducted research using a teacher-research methodology approach, I became heavily involved. There was never really the effect of being an outsider looking in because I was/am a member of the H.Y.P.E. (Homewood Youth Powered and Engaged) media team. I was inducted into the planning team and I immediately began virtually constructing ideas for lessons and unit programs concerning social issues. Moreover, I evaluated the possibilities for exploration into issues of gender, race, and equity while using digital tools. As a team member, I was also given the task of checking in with these girls each day, therefore, I was aware of their emotions and spent time experiencing their goal setting processes. There was never a moment where I had the chance to feel "disconnected" and I think that's part of the reason why I was so heavily affected personally in the best way possible. One of the main projects H.YP.E. media was conducting was a social media campaign based on affirmations and HYPE affirmation, are defined by the girls, as something positive a group member believes about themselves that helps set the tone for their day. The main goal of these affirmations is to establish and sustain a community of positivity around black life and black girlhood.
Some of the noteworthy observations I made heavily pertained to participants emotions during the process of making their social media posts which they communicated during group reflections and group sessions. Some participants shared that they were initially nervous about these posts, and they were not sure how people were going to respond. But there was one participant, whose well-constructed first affirmation post was the reason why we started this campaign, already felt very confident about their post and they had gain this confidence from speaking with another team member who "Hyped" her up beforehand. Another noteworthy factor the girls communicated was that they did see themselves creating change, they saw that their work was impactful and that they were inspiring other people to think and speak positively and giving and others the opportunity to express themselves within this virtual community. Focusing on this part of my research specifically, I can say that I think this project has done a really interesting job in influencing my sense of self and how I choose to think about my identity and who I am. I think it has affected how I think positively about myself and how I can use mantras and repetitions to affirm my existence and how I can also use that to help others do the same.
I believe another part of my research that I found quite valuable was the relationships I was able to build with my fellow team member as well as program participants. I understood that there was still a research element to what I was doing but it wasn't at the forefront of my mind. I was formulating bonds and learning about the different aspects of interacting within digital spaces. Furthermore, I gained a large insight into how black girls, when giving the tools, have the ability to create a community and influence how those around them view them and also influence how those same people view themselves. I was also place into a leadership position from the get-go and had to quickly learn valuable skills in terms of learning how to be a facilitator and curriculum designer. I think the most challenge moments were related to the position I was suddenly placed in. I was so used to being in a "student" position that when it was time to have interactions as a "teacher" I did struggle. I didn't know what question to ask in order to facilitate the discussion. I would create lessons and have questions on slides, and the girls would answer them, but I did know how to ask "add-on" question that would keep the conversation going. Therefore, although I had decided that I would be utilizing teacher-research methodologies, I was still learning how to be a facilitator in this position. Curriculum design with the help of fellow team members was definitely something I had an easier time with, and it was great to bounce ideas off other team members in a welcoming and comfortable environment.
Furthermore, in relation, to challenging moments I had in general, Covid-19 definitely was a contributor. There were challenges I encountered with COVID-19 that did make the research process more difficult. I unfortunately was not able to have interactions with the program participants in-person, however, the video conferencing program, Zoom, was utilize for us to host virtual meetings instead. Additionally, H.Y.P.E. media's schedule was modified to start a later date due to the switch to online learning and the trials that came with that process. Moreover, the nonprofits that were partnered with H.Y.P.E. media were experiencing difficulties at this time as well, therefore, H.Y.P.E. Media was also affected which in turn added for the need to push back the starting date. Obtaining technology for the participants so they could take part in the summer session of the program was also an issue that had to be handled. The first order for laptops didn't come through so the participants were later given iPads instead. Overall, COVID-19 did present several issues that the H.Y.P.E. media team had to take care of; however, we were able to adapt and I was able to continue to my study albeit with a few alterations.
In terms of what I hope to do next now that the fellowship is over, I think the possibilities for the continued research of my topic are endless. Since I am now an official member of the H.Y.P.E. media team and HYPE media itself is in its first year as a pilot programs there are so many opportunities for growth on both ends. How can the literacies of black female students (or black students in general depending on how the program progresses) continue to flourish within digital spaces? What can these youths manifest when given the proper tools? What can the create? There is a lot of uncharted territory within this topic because while research has been done, the amount is still lacking. So, the question for me then becomes, how can I assist in providing these youths with a platform? Because that what research under these conditions should do; I am providing as well as acting as proxy for these youths in order from them to reach as boarder audience. When my fellowship program presented at the diversity forum and I was able to give a short Pecha Kucha presentation about my research I was smiling for hours after not only because of the response it received from the people who attended but from the HYPE media girls themselves. I felt that it was me fulfilling a part of what I had set out to do which was to give these girls a platform and make them proud. And no matter how short that 6 and half minute presentation was, I was able to do just that.

Samsung's The Premiere 4K laser projector is 130-inches of pure luxury
Samsung has revealed its latest 4K laser projector, an "ultra-short-throw" device that delivers a 130-inch display even when placed up against a wall.
The Premiere, as Samsung calls it, features an integrated woofers as well as the Acoustic Beam surround sound the company uses in its sound bars.
The all-in-one solution also includes the highly-regarded Samsung Smart TV interface for all of your streaming needs. There's also plenty of mobile connectivity features such as smartphone mirroring and Tap View from Galaxy devices.
Samsung's Premiere projector comes in two flavours. The LSP9T has the larger display area of 130-inches and, according to the company, is world's first HDR10+ certified projector with triple laser technology. Peak brightness is 2,800 Lumens, so you won't be struggling to follow the action in a well-lit room. The LSP7T, on the other hand, brings a 120-inch display.

Samsung is also promising a Filmmaker Mode, which makes the journey across from its QLED televisions. This mode turns off post-processing of video content, like motion soothing, which can leave movies looking like cheap daytime soap operas.
The tech, pioneered by the UHD Alliance in association with Hollywood studios, ensures "the movie or television show is displayed as it was intended by the filmmaker, preserving the correct aspect ratios, colours and frame rates."
The Premiere is Samsung's latest in its luxury lifestyle range that includes The Frame and The Terrace television sets.
There's no word on when this will go on sale, but it's coming to US, Europe, Korea before the end of the year. Samsung hasn't announced a price, but we can expect The Premiere projector to cost consumers a pretty penny.
"Over the past few months, we have seen how consumers are spending more time at home and how the role of everyday life continues to change. TV has become the center of entertainment, a fitness partner, a co-worker and a source for news," said Jongsuk Chu, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics in a press release. "The Premiere re-imagines the home cinema experience with an all-new, compact design, 4K picture quality and big sound for tight spaces that can be used for any at-home activity and living room arrangements."

- Turtle Friendly Lighting Recognition Program
Turtle Friendly Lighting Recognition Program
Sea turtle nesting data for the 2022 season reported over 3,000 nests in Broward County. That's a record for our area, and Hollywood's sandy beach plays an important role in that success. Our beach is the desired nesting habitat for three species of endangered sea turtles: leatherbacks, loggerheads, and greens. It is vital that everyone does their part to ensure future successful nesting seasons on Hollywood Beach.
Sea Turtle Nesting Season
Sea turtle nesting season runs March 1st through October 31st annually. This is the time when the City's "Turtle Friendly Lighting Ordinance" is in effect. Hatchlings are attracted to light. On undeveloped beaches, the ocean horizon is lighter than the land so new hatchlings head toward the water. In an urban beach environment, artificial light from buildings can disorient hatchlings and attract them away from the ocean. Turtle friendly lighting can minimize disorientation and make Hollywood Beach more hospitable to these endangered species.
Sea Turtle Friendly Lighting
The City's lighting ordinance prohibits direct illumination of the beach at night during nesting season. To encourage compliance with the ordinance, the City has established a reward for property owners who are Turtle Lighting Compliant. All property owners along the barrier island are invited to apply for recognition of their commitment to the endangered sea turtle.
Certification Criteria
Hollywood's turtle friendly lighting ordinance (§108, O-2011-07) requires that exterior lights be mounted as low in elevation as possible, shielded so that the light source is not visible from the beach, directed down and away from the beach, and have a low wattage amber or red bulb. To reduce or eliminate the visibility of interior light from the beach, tinted glass or film must be installed on north, east, and south facing doors and windows on new developments. Existing buildings can install window and door tint, move light fixtures away from windows, close the blinds and curtains, and turn off all unnecessary lights.
To receive recognition, a property must fully comply with the City's turtle friendly lighting ordinance (§108, O-2011-07).
Certification Process
- Use the checklist as a guide to qualifying for recognition. (See full checklist below)
- Apply for certification here. A City of Hollywood Code Compliance officer will contact you to schedule a review of your property's lighting.
- Correct any outstanding issues, if needed.
- Schedule final certification review of improvements
- Receive award recognition for being turtle friendly!
Award and Recognition
- Award presentation by City of Hollywood Mayor Josh Levy at an upcoming Hollywood Beach Business Association Meeting and City Commission Meeting.
- Property location highlighted on the City's main website and other outreach channels.
- Possible additional on-site recognition via marketing materials (possible banner/stickers/table tent/signage)
Apply Today to be Recognized!
Apply by clicking the online application link below to schedule your certification review today.
Additional Resources for Achieving Certification
- Chapter 108: Lighting Requirements for Marine Turtle Protection
- City of Hollywood Sea Turtle Lighting Requirements

- FWC Certified Wildlife Lighting
- Sea Turtle Conservancy, Beachfront Lighting: Finding turtle lighting
Exterior Lighting Checklist
- Fixtures are positioned so that the point source of light or any reflective surface of the light fixture is not visible from the Beach or otherwise illuminating the beach.
- All bulbs are low wattage amber or red, LED, LPS, Bug Type Bulb, or True Neon Light.
- Fixtures have opaque shields so that the source of light is not visible from the north, east, and south sides of the fixture.
- Lights are positioned downward and away from the beach.
- Lights illuminating buildings or associated grounds, for decorative or recreational purposes are positioned so light is cast downward and shielded or screened so that the light sources are not visible from the beach, or are turned off between sunset to sunrise, during turtle nesting season (March 1 – October 31).
- Illuminated signage either facing the beach or in the line-of-sight of the beach, including building identification signs, is shielded or repositioned so that the point source of light or any reflective surface of the light fixture is not visible from the beach or otherwise illuminating the beach.
- Exterior lights used expressly for safety or security purposes are limited to the minimum number and configuration required to achieve their functional roles. Motion detector switches that keep lights off except when approached and that switch lights on for a period not to exceed five (5) minutes each time motion is detected are preferred.
- Fixtures that could not be brought into compliance with the ordinance have been removed or disabled.
Interior Lighting Checklist
- No interior lighting is visible from the beach or otherwise illuminating the beach.
One or more of the following measures will reduce or eliminate the negative effects of interior light emanating from doors and windows within the line-of-sight of the beach:
- Apply window tint or film at 45% light transmittance level on the north, south and east facing windows and doors.
- Rearrange lamps and other moveable fixtures away from windows.
- Use window treatments (e.g. blinds, curtains) to shield interior lights from the beach.
- Turn off unnecessary lights between sunrise and sunset, during turtle nesting season.

Soltoro Ltd. on Track to 100 Million Ounce Silver Resource
Soltoro Ltd (SOL – $0.57) is a Canadian mineral exploration Company holding in excess of 110,000 hectares of property in Mexico with over 55,000 hectares of ground in Jalisco State, Mexico. The Company is most active in the Guachinango district in Jalisco where the area was first explored by Spanish conquistadors in the sixteenth century and was most actively mined until the 1920s. Since 2006, Soltoro has staked portions of 7 of the 12 more historical mining districts in Jalisco State.
Soltoro's main property, the El Rayo primary silver property, has excellent access and infrastruc-ture. Drill rigs may be driven right onto the property and can operate year round. Access to the Mexican power grid is readily available.
Soltoro is especially focusing on expanding the silver resources at El Rayo, which currently has a NI 43-101 resource estimate of 77.4 million ounces silver. The Company is actively expanding the mineralized footprint at El Rayo with several field programs, including ground magnetic and induced polarization geophysical surveys, an aerial photographic survey over the entire property, soil geochemical, etc. Moreover, drilling continues at several highly prospective zones on the property.
The Company is seeking partners to advance the balance of its projects. Soltoro holds 15% of the common shares of Argentum Silver Corp. pursuant to the completion of the sale to Argentum Silver of the Victoria and Coyote properties. Soltoro's La Tortuga project has been optioned to Gold Reserve Inc. whereby Gold Reserve can acquire a 51% interest in the project by making $3.65 million in property and cash payments to Soltoro.
With over $2.8 million in the bank, Soltoro continues to develop its resource at El Rayo through drilling. Soltoro is an excellent buy-out candidate with a pure silver property that's moving towards a 100 million ounce silver resource.

We all want our trees to grow up perfectly straight without any worrisome bends or leans, but that doesn't always happens. Leaning trees are not uncommon and because of that, we get a lot of questions from concerned tree-parents about crooked or angled trees. We're here to tell you everything you need to know about leaning trees, if they are a problem, and how to fix them.
First, it's important to differentiate between two kinds of "leans" that you may see—a leaning tree with a straight trunk (Image 1) and a tree that starts to curve as the trunk progresses upward (Image 2).
A tree with the first kind of lean can be caused by lots of things, like damaged roots, severe wind, an imbalanced crown, or even improper planting when the tree was young. If your tree is still young and was planted within the last few years, you can dig it up and replant it so that it is straight. But be cautious to not damage roots in the process. If you notice a lean like this on your mature tree, it's worth having an arborist come take a look. If the roots are still intact, a leaning tree can be fixed with cabling. The arborist will also look for a lifted root plate. This is something you should look out for too. A lifted root plate can be detrimental to a tree because roots can easily break off, leading to water and nutrient shortage and eventual death. Mature trees with a lifted root plate are likely going to have to be removed due to hazard risk.
The second kind of lean you may encounter looks like a bend or curve that starts part-way up the tree trunk. Leans like this are often the result of phototropism during growth. Phototropism is the process by which plants will grow in the direction of sunlight. These leans happen slowly over time and cannot be corrected, but the root system of these trees usually compensate for this uneven weight distribution by growing more extensively on the opposite side for balance. This kind of lean can be avoided when planting a young tree by choosing a spot that has an even distribution of sunlight away from other trees or tall structures. But generally, phototropic leans are normal and shouldn't cause much of a worry. If you're unsure what kind of lean your tree has or if the lean is over important structures (your house, the road, etc.) your best course of action is to always call an arborist.

October 31st, 2013
For the first time since 2004, we did not go to Dwayne & Erica's house for our Halloween festivities. Their recent move to the sunny, warm weather of Florida (I'm so jealous!) necessitated our finding of a new trick-or-treating location for 2013. We wound up getting an invite from some of our friends to join them in their subdivision in town, so we happily accepted. We arrived at their home shortly after 5:00pm, where we ate pizza for dinner before getting the kids costumes on. Before we knew it, the time had come to head out on the candy hunting expedition! Samantha wound up going off on her own with two of her friends from school, and I didn't even get a picture of her in her homemade bacon costume! Tyler, Drew, and Jay stayed with the group, but unfortunately the group spread out quiet a bit throughout the night. In addition to kids being everywhere (at least each group had an adult or two walking with them... it wasn't as if we let them roam randomly all over), the weather was highly uncooperative today - it rained nonstop the entire day, and the closest we got to a break in the rain was a steady mist falling from the sky. The kids were mostly undeterred through, and they managed to hit virtually every house in the subdivision. In fact, Jayden and her friend Jessica were the last two of our group of trick-or-treaters to return home! Hitting all of those houses also meant that they got lots of candy too! All in all, everyone had a great time, but we sure did miss going out with our family! Miss you guys!

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andy Beshear endorsed term limits and a lifetime lobbying ban for Kentucky lawmakers in releasing an ethics plan for state government Tuesday.
Beshear's proposal includes financial disclosure provisions and pay restrictions that take a dig at incumbent Republican Gov. Matt Bevin.
Republicans responded that Beshear, the state's attorney general, lacks credibility in promoting tougher ethics standards, noting that his former top deputy in the AG's office went to prison for a kickback and bribery scheme, which never directly implicated Beshear.
Beshear's term-limits proposal calls for restricting state representatives to four consecutive terms and state senators to two terms — equaling eight years for members of both chambers.
Beshear supports amending the state's Constitution — through a ballot measure voted on by Kentuckians — to impose legislative term limits. Fifteen states have legislative term limits, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Kentucky's statewide elected officials are limited to two consecutive four-year terms.
A lifetime lobbying ban, he said, would end a "revolving door" in which ex-legislators lobby former colleagues on behalf of special interests. Under state law, lawmakers now have to wait two years after leaving office before registering as legislative lobbyists, unless it's for a public agency.
Beshear's ethics plan also calls for strengthening financial disclosures — including requiring governors and candidates seeking the office to release their tax returns. Bevin, his opponent in November, has declined to reveal his tax returns.
"Kentuckians deserve to have confidence in our elected leaders," Beshear said in a release. "Our people should know that Frankfort is working to solve the challenges they're facing — not furthering the self-interests of lobbyists and insiders."
State GOP spokesman Mike Lonergan responded that Beshear's ethics plan has "zero credibility," slamming Beshear for the scandal involving his former top deputy in the AG's office — Tim Longmeyer.
"Kentuckians can't trust a word Andy Beshear says," Lonergan said in a statement. "If he wants real ethics reform, he should start with his own office."
Longmeyer was sent to prison in 2016 for a kickback scheme that netted him more than $200,000. He previously worked in the administration of former Gov. Steve Beshear, who is Andy Beshear's father.

More Than 100 Birds Found Coated in Oil After Ida
More than 100 birds have been found covered with oil following a spill linked to Hurricane Ida's path through the Gulf of Mexico late last month.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) said Thursday that the birds were impacted by a spill at the Alliance Refinery in Belle Chasse, Louisiana.
"The number of oiled birds documented, with more expected, have been observed within heavy pockets of crude oil throughout the facility as well as nearby flooded fields and retention ponds," the LDWF said.
As of Thursday, 10 birds had been captured and taken to a rehabilitation center for cleaning, state biologist Jon Wiebe told The AP. A total of five birds had been found dead.
LDWF said that the bird species impacted by the spill included black-bellied whistling ducks, blue-winged teal and a variety of egret species. Alligators, river otters and nutria were also found partly covered in oil. The department said it could take weeks to save the affected wildlife.
The news comes as the U.S. Coast Guard investigates hundreds of oil spills in the wake of Hurricane Ida, which made landfall August 29, CNN reported. One example is a miles-long spill about two miles from Port Fourchon, Louisiana that divers believed emerged from a broken pipeline.
The Coast Guard is currently prioritizing around 350 of the spills, which range from "minor to potentially notable pollution reporting," Coast Guard Petty Officer Gabriel Wisdom told CNN.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency further said on Thursday that it had received 43 notifications of significant inland oil spills or chemical releases following the storm, according to The AP.
The Alliance Refinery spill was first reported by The AP September 1. The refinery is owned by Phillips 66, which initially downplayed reports of the spill. However, a Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality investigation revealed that a levee had breached during the storm, allowing water to first flood the plant and then rush back out. The crude oil spill was being cleaned with booms and absorbent pads, the department said. Still, a spokesperson for Phillips 66 has continued to minimize the damage.
"The breach has been secured," spokesperson Bernardo Fallas told The AP Thursday. "Clean-up crews continue to remove oil and sheen contained within some flooded areas of the refinery. There has been no offsite impact. We continue to work with all appropriate regulatory agencies."
While there are no official estimates of how much oil has spilled, the refinery has the capacity to process more than 255,000 barrels of crude oil a day. As of Thursday, it remained closed with no date fixed for reopening.

U2log.com has learnt that the actual production of the shows commences on the 15th.

Is A War Brewing On The Roof Of The World?
Though India and China remain engaged in talks over the border standoff, there is speculation in Ladakh that Pakistan and China are preparing for a two-front war against India during the coming winter.
Can 'General Frost' play a role?
The first time the name 'General Frost' appeared was in 1812 in a British satirical cartoon dedicated to Napoleon's catastrophic Russian campaign. The cheering British wrote: 'General Frost shaving little Boney.' The severe frost took a dreadful toll on the ill-prepared Grande Armée on its way out of Russia. Only a few tens of thousands of soldiers out of 600,000 returned home, and winter played a not inconsiderable role in this.
'General Frost" played a crucial role again during World War-II. Adolf Hitler launched 'Operation Barbarossa' and attacked Soviet Russia with three and a half million German troops, 3400 tanks and 2700 aircraft. It was the largest invasion force to date. Adolf Hitler was confident of swift victory, asserting to his generals, "We have only to kick in the door and the whole rotten thing will come down." At first it seemed that, yet again, Hitler's prediction would come true. As such, the Nazi soldiers went into battle wearing only summer-weight uniforms. As winter approached, conditions for the lightly clad German troops at the front became appalling. Weapons malfunctioned. Vehicles wouldn't start. Frostbite cases soared. Troops froze to death. Despite reaching close to Moscow, Germans had to retreat with heavy losses.
Is China waiting for 'General Frost' in Ladakh?
Like Russia, the Ladakh region in India has similar weather conditions where the temperature plunges to (minus) -50 degrees; oxygen is rare and mighty rivers freeze during winters.
Men breathe air so spare of oxygen that it sends their hearts into a mad gallop. Fainting spells and pounding headaches are frequent. Frostbite chews its way through digits and limbs. Rifles must be thawed repeatedly over kerosene stoves, and machine guns need to be primed with boiling water. At altitudes of 16,000 feet, mortar shells fly unpredictable and extraordinary distances and swerve erratically.
As per a section of defence experts, PLA is waiting for the onset of winters which they can use to their advantage and can pose challenges before the Indian army can secure advantageous positions on the ridges. China can plan an offensive through the comparatively less challenging Tibet plateau by using its arguably superior technology, light tanks, vehicle-mounted PCL-181 howitzer and mechanised infantry.
PLAAF operates twice the number of aircraft compared to the Indian Air Force (IAF) and can launch major offensives from its air bases in Ngari, Hotan, and Kashgar in Xinxiang and Tibet. Su-30MKK, Su-35 and J-20 are the aircraft which can play a major role in conventional warfare.
PLA is well aware of the fact that, their supply line will remain unentrapped over the rolling plateau region of Tibet, whereas Indians have to depend on stocks of supplies stored during summers. Road links to the war zone with mainland India will remain cut off during the winter because of heavy snowfall over high passes in the Himalayas.
Challenges for China
PLAAF suffers from a 'terrain disadvantage' of high-altitude and rarefied air at its airbases facing India, which severely limits the weapon and fuel carrying capacity of its fighters.
Recent global developments are also posing strategic challenges to China. Russia announced a delay in the supply of missiles for China's S400 air defence system while the U.S. Japan and Australia are engaging the best of China's resources in the South China Sea.
Indian army gearing up for long haul
The Indian side has reportedly doubled its call for rations, which include winter clothing, shelter, tents, fuel and other tools required to face the harsh temperatures in the Himalayan region.
With the PLA deploying close to 50,000 troops in Aksai Chin, the Indian Army deployed the same number of troops and inducted T-90 and T-72 tanks. The armoured personnel carriers, M-777 155mm howitzers and 130 mm guns had already been deployed to the faceoff areas.
Western defence analysts feel that the Indian Air Force (IAF) has an advantage in Ladakh because most of the air fields are located in low altitude areas which allow their fighters to take off loaded with optimum fuel and weapons.
The IAF is operating large numbers of fourth generation fighters including Su-30MKi and MiG-29 which has the capability to fly at night in the high-altitude area. Recently inducted Apache attack helicopters are carrying out round-the-clock flying over Eastern Ladakh. The IAF has also pressed into service a fleet of heavy-lift Chinook helicopters, C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft as well as C-130J Super Hercules to transporting heavy military equipment and weaponry to several forward bases in the region.
With the induction of Rafale fighter jets on July 29th with Su-30 MKi, "IAF has both the capacity and capability to bring the fight to Han China, way beyond Tibet and Xinjiang" said a senior IAF officer.
Caution India
The PLA has the option to use its silent cyber capabilities to target India. Its space capabilities too are impressive. While it is unlikely to use its Direct Ascent Anti-Satellite (DS-ASAT) kinetic capability involving the use of ballistic rockets, nothing prevents it from using its co-orbital ASAT weapons to target India's GSAT series satellites. The PLA has specialised units training on DS-ASAT and co-orbital ASAT weapons. The PLA has powerful electronic warfare (EW) jammers capable of blinding satellites.
China does not want war with India in the near future for two strategic reasons. One, its principal adversary — the United States — needs to be tamed first in the western Pacific theatre through ASEAN as the pivot.
The other reason is that it would demolish China's peaceful rise format through the BRI. This would have an adverse effect on its Asia-Pacific strategy, its 'Two Centennial Goals' (2021 and 2049) and the Chinese Dream. China and India will eventually find a face-saving mutual compromise to end the Ladakh standoff, as neither wants a war. However, the unsettled border will continue to destabilise, fester, and brew more clashes down the road into the future.

In just under a month, British duo Royal Blood are dropping their highly-anticipated third studio album Typhoons. Now, vocalist Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher are back with another stunning visual from the LP.
On April 1, they released an action-packed video for their latest single "Limbo," which hit streaming services March 25.

In the Joao Retorta-directed video, two biker gangs find themselves in the middle of a tense rivalry. In between trick-filled motorcycle rides around the city, each group is preparing for the ultimate showdown. While the black-suited group shines their bikes and gets involved in heated arguments, the blue-suited gang is practicing their best dance moves for the impending clash.
Eventually, the two groups confront each other and face off in an intensely choreographed dance battle. Soon after, the rivals take to the streets with their bikes to find out who the real winners are. Then, when one biker is involved in a bad crash, the true winners of the fierce showdown are finally revealed.
For Kerr and Thatcher, "Limbo" shows a completely different side to them. As well, it further introduces the world inside their new album Typhoons to Royal Blood listeners.

"It is without a doubt the most ambitious and wildest we have allowed ourselves to be, and we can't wait to invite you this far down the rabbit hole with us," the duo says in a press release.
On March 27, Royal Blood gave their debut performance of "Limbo" on the popular video game Roblox. The duo played a virtual three-song set during the 8th annual Bloxy Awards, which recognizes the work accomplished by Roblox players and creators.
Kerr and Thatcher appeared as animated avatars and performed in front of a virtual audience made up of the game's players. Their set included numerous theatrics such as fireworks and even chaotic laser lights. Along with "Limbo," Royal Blood also performed the Typhoons track "Trouble's Coming" and "Figure It Out" off their 2014 self-titled album.

Earlier this year, Kerr explained how Typhoons is unlike anything Royal Blood have released so far.
"We sort of stumbled on this sound and it was immediately fun to play," he says in a press release. "That's what sparked the creativity on the new album, the chasing of that feeling. It's weird, though–if you think back to 'Figure it Out,' it kind of contains the embryo of this album. We realized that we didn't have to completely destroy what we'd created so far; we just had to shift it [and] change it. On paper, it's a small reinvention. But when you hear it, it sounds so fresh."
Royal Blood's third studio album Typhoons officially arrives April 30 via Warner Records. Preorders are available here.
Typhoons tracklisting:
1. "Trouble's Coming"
2. "Oblivion"
3. "Typhoons"
4. "Who Needs Friends"
5. "Million & One"
6. "Limbo"
7. "Either You Want It"
8. "Boilermaker"
9. "Mad Visions"
10. "Hold On"
11. "All We Have Is Now"
More on Royal Blood
So far, Royal Blood have offered a few previews of their upcoming album. Back in September 2020, the British duo introduced Typhoons with the funky rock track "Trouble's Coming." Then, in October, they released a cinematic video for the song. The dark and trippy visual shows Kerr and Thatcher trapped in a stormy alternate universe they are trying to escape.
After the song's release, Kerr revealed to NME that Royal Blood took inspiration from numerous genres while creating "Trouble's Coming."
"We realized that this much dancier sound really leant itself to the kind of music we were already making," Kerr tells NME. "We found this through-line between classic rock, dance music and disco music where, to me, some of the best fretting ever is AC/DC. They always play over this straight beat. It's just like a heartbeat through the songs that never stops. Then these riffs just cut over the top. All we had to do was speed it up and it gave us this new approach to what we did. It felt like we were seeing in color for the first time."

More recently, in January, Royal Blood dropped the title track of their new album. The powerful "Typhoons" visual starts off with Kerr and Thatcher performing in a rooftop parking lot under an ominous grey sky. Soon after, however, anarchy breaks out as dozens of individuals flock from the city to where Royal Blood are. As a storm looms above them, the group of people create a fast-paced circle around the British duo, eventually leaving them in the center of a violent typhoon.
Kerr previously told NME that "Typhoons" represents many of the narratives found on Royal Blood's new album. As a result, they decided it was fitting to name the entire LP after the song.
"With the subject matter of this song, it brought a lot of the themes of the record together," Kerr tells NME. "A lot of the songs on album tackle this idea of being lost in your own thoughts and how consuming that can really be. I think 'Typhoons' made it really clear that when a thought or an idea takes over, you are lost in that. It does feel like it can go on forever, but it's also about knowing that it can't go on forever. It's not permanent–it can't be."

Audit Reports
Quality Control Review of a Single Audit of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, Philadelphia, PA
This report presents the results of our self-initiated quality control review (QCR) on Zelenkofske Axelrod LLC's single audit of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority's (SEPTA) use of DOT grants during its fiscal year which ended June 30, 2014. During this period, SEPTA expended approximately $222 million from DOT grant programs. Zelenkofske Axelrod determined that DOT's major programs were the Federal Transit Cluster, the Transit Services Program Cluster, the Clean Fuels program, and the Transit Investments for Greenhouse Gas and Energy Reduction program. We limited the scope of our QCR to the Federal Transit Cluster because expenditures from this Program made up approximately 96 percent of the total expenditures from DOT's major programs. We assigned an overall rating of pass to Zelenkofske Axelrod's work. Therefore, Zelenkofske Axelrod met the requirements of the Single Audit Act, OMB Circular A-133, and the Federal Transit Cluster. We found nothing to indicate that Zelenkofske Axelrod's opinion on the Federal Transit Cluster was inappropriate or unreliable.

Tablets are everywhere. Mobile computing seems to be here to stay. As a FileMaker developer I am very excited by the opportunities and challenges this presents. Building for mobile devices is different to building for the desktop where connectivity is generally reliable and predictable. When dependant on the mobile phone network or even wireless access points, you never know when moving a metre will result in losing the connection.
In the real world this means that solutions must be designed to handle loss of connectivity gracefully whilst allowing the user to continue working. How embarrassing to be halfway through building a quote with a new customer when a loss of connectivity loses all the data and means you have to start again!
The safe option is to use mobile devices offline with local data and then to use a synchronisation process to send the new and changed information back to the office. This data transfer can be managed in a number of ways in both directions using FileMaker as the development platform.
I have already seen a number of really beautiful applications deployed to iPads that are a pleasure to use. I am looking forward to developing many more mobile solutions to enable mobile users to have access to clever database technology that will help them improve efficiency and offer a better service to their customers.

Discover the momentous motor sports events that took place this weekend in history ……..
~26 October~
1911: The eighth Glidden Tour ended in Jacksonville, Florida, US and was won by a Maxwell driven by a team of drivers from Tarrytown, New York. A Reo truck that followed the cars with baggage and spare tires was fitted with pneumatic tires, the first time they were ever installed on a motor truck.
1954: The Lancia D50 made its racing debut at the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona. Alberto Ascari qualified the car in pole position, but retired early due to clutch and oil seal problems.
1958: Junior Johnson edged Fireball Roberts by a whisker to win the NASCAR Grand National season finale at Atlanta's Lakewood Speedway (Georgia, US). Lee Petty captured the championship by 644 points over Buck Baker.
2001: Greg Biffle survived a green-white-checkered overtime finish, holding off Jack Sprague in the Chevy Silverado 150 for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Phoenix International Raceway, Arizona, US. Biffle, who led 79 of the 159 laps, finished just .542 seconds ahead of Sprague, who paced 66 laps. Rick Crawford ran third. Biffle followed the win with a triumph at Phoenix the following day in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Barring a return to the truck series, which he hasn't competed in since 2004, it will stand as Biffle's final win on the tailgate tour.
~27 October~
1902: Vincenzo Florio in a Panhard 40HP (5 minutes 21 seconds) won the Padova – Bovolenta race followed by Vincenzo Lancia in a Fiat 34HP and Luigi Storero in a Fiat 12HP.
1946: The first major post-World War II race, the revived Pena Rhin Grand Prix staged in Barcelona, Spain, was won by Giorgio Pelassa in a Maserati 4CL.
1957: Buck Baker (cover image) wrapped up his second straight NASCAR Grand National championship campaign by wheeling his Chevrolet to a win in the 250-lap season finale at Central Carolina Fairground in Greensboro, North Carolina, US. Baker beat Marvin Panch by 760 points in the title hunt with his 10th win of the season.
1963: Team Lotus driver Jim Clark won the first ever Mexican Grand Prix, the penultimate round of the 1963 Formula 1 season, and secured tyre supplier Dunlop their 50th Fastest Lap and 50th Grand Prix victory. The race also marked Graham Hill's 50th Formula 1 GP. Hill finished 4th behind his team-mate Richie Ginther, tying both BRM drivers at 29 points in the fight for runner-up spot behind already crowned champion Jimmy Clark. This was also the only World Championship Grand Prix where a car raced with the number 13 until Pastor Maldonado selected the number as his permanent race number in 2014.
1977: Tony Hulman passed away in Indianapolis, Indiana after 32 years of presiding over the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Hulman purchased the dilapidated Indianapolis Motor Speedway from a group led by World War I flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker immediately after World War II. Influenced by three-time Indy 500 winner Wilbur Shaw (who became the track's president in the early years of the Hulman regime), Hulman made numerous improvements to the track in time for the race to be held in 1946. Following Shaw's death in a plane crash on October 30, 1954, Hulman stepped into his soon-to-be-familiar role as the "face" of the Speedway. He followed the tradition of launching the Indianapolis 500 with the command, "Gentlemen, start your engines!" Into the 1970s, despite the fact he'd given the command so many times before, he would always practice it extensively beforehand, and on race day, he would invariably pull a card containing the famous words: "GENNNNNTLEMENNNNN, STARRRRRT YOURRRRRR ENNNNNNNGINES!" from the pocket of his suit as he stepped to the microphone. Luke Walton, who with Wilbur Shaw had founded the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network, was for many years a sportscaster and worked annually with Hulman (and later with Mrs. Hulman) to ensure each word was delivered with the proper emphasis. His family took on the responsibility of preserving his vision and the heritage of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Hulman's wife, Mary Fendrich Hulman, became chairman of the board, while longtime family friend Joseph R. Cloutier was named president.
1996: Bobby Hamilton drove the Petty Enterprises Pontiac to victory in the Dura Lube 500 at Phoenix International Raceway, Arizona (US). It was the first NASCAR Winston Cup victory for Petty Enterprises since 1983.
1997: Bobby Hamilton drove past Ricky Craven with 16 laps to go, landing his second triumph in NASCAR's premier series by winning the ACDelco 400 at North Carolina Motor Speedway in Rockingham. Hamilton, who drove the Petty Enterprises No. 43, finished .941 seconds ahead of runner-up Dale Jarrett while Craven settled for third place. Jeff Gordon finished fourth while Dick Trickle took fifth on his 56th birthday.

The German federal government has extended its travel warning for more than 160 non-European Union (EU) countries due to the Covid-19 pandemic until the end of September.
From October onwards, the travel warnings will be replaced with "differentiated travel and security warnings" applying to individual countries, Xinhua news agency quoted the Federal Foreign Office as saying in a statement on Wednesday.
The previous travel warning was set to expire on September 14.
An early lifting of travel warning in country-specific individual cases would be announced separately, according to the Foreign Office.
Unnecessary tourist travel to countries that were not classified as risk areas would still be discouraged if these countries restricted entry to or from Germany, the government stressed in the statement.
For the evaluation, the government would also consider the overall situation in the respective country, such as the state of health systems, when issuing travel warnings.
Anyone entering Germany from a risk area must go into home quarantine and inform the responsible health authority, according to the government.
Since the beginning of August, all persons entering Germany from a risk area also have to present a negative Covid-19 test within 48 hours of taking it or be tested within 72 hours of arrival.
Test centres have been set up at airports and train stations and other easily accessible locations for tests across Germany.
According to the government, the tests for returning travelers are free of charge.
As of Thursday, the total number of coronavirus cases in Germany stood at 256,433, with 9,408 deaths.

As a reminder, a Raspberry Pi is a single board computer, small as a credit card, having an 700 Mhz ARM processor, 256 Mb of RAM (Model A) and 512 MB of RAM (Model B), an ethernet port, an HDMI port and 2 USB 2.0 ports. Pluged in at a TV / Monitor, and with a keyboard and mouse added, it is a modest Linux computer.
NOOBS (New Out Of the Box Software) is an installation system for Raspberry Pi allows its users to easily install different operating systems on their single board computers.
The NOOBS installer is ideal for the new Linux and Raspberry Pi users. An 8 GB SD card with NOOBS already on it can be orderd from RS Components and element14 for only 5 $.
To my mind, 5$ for an 8 GB SD card is a good price. It's like, you donate 5$ to the Raspberry Pi developers, in order to support the RasPi project and get an 8 GB SD card as a gift.
The NOOBS installer can also be downloaded from the official Raspberry Pi site.

When trying to decide what type of tablet you want to buy, knowing what makes the iPad better than an Android tablet should make it pretty easy to figure out which one will work best for you. The top features that make the iPad the best choice starts off with how it runs. The iPad has controlled hardware and operating system that make it an ultimately more stable platform over the Android. It will operate successfully for you with fewer bugs and a smoother overall experience.
Another feature about the iPad that is better than the Android tablet is the screen is bigger and it put into full use. The user interfaces are specially designed for the iPad instead of just being blown up smartphone apps, as the Android apps are. This means that you get an overall better visual experience with the iPad.
The iPad gets fewer malware infected apps to keep your tablet safer and sensitive information more secure. This is because Apple goes to great lengths to test every app before its released, where Google Play doesn't test apps for their Android tablet as extensively. This provides a safer experience.
Apps such as the Epic Games Infinity Blade series are exclusive to the iPad because many developers prefer to not risk the piracy that is well known on Android devices. This gives iPad users apps that are not available on Android.
If you are into accessorizing, the iPad has the most accessories including iPad controlled robots, programmable pedalboards for guitars and even remote control drones that will video record. There is pretty much an app to help you do anything from write your next novel to potty train your toddler.
While both the iPad and the Android tablet have voice recognition, Siri is hands down the most advanced. She is easier to activate because all you need to do is tap the Home button on your iPad. Also, Siri will do more than any other voice recognition assistant app available on the market including looking up Google searches for you.
The iPad comes with iBeacon and AirDrop which allow for easier sharing capabilities over encrypted connections. While Android tablets have to "bump" one another to share data and apps, you can be in completely separate rooms and still share with your iPad.
The iPad also has AirPlay for faster connections and more bandwidth for multimedia use. This makes it the best wireless device on the market.
AirPrint is another exclusive feature that iPads have that Android tablets don't. This feature allows you to print from remote locations without having to do any type of advance setup.
The iPad Game Center has been around longer than Google Play and operates more smoothly. It is easier to access and doesn't need to be downloaded to an iPad as Google Play has to be downloaded to an Android app.
The iPad has Display Mirroring. This feature allows you to hook the iPad up to your television and whatever is showing up on your iPad screen will show up on your TV set. It also allows you to split the screen so you can send one image to your television and another one to your iPad.
The iPad's FaceTime and iMessage is much more intuitive than any type of messaging and communication features that the Android tablet has. These allow you to place free text messages, voice calls or video chat.
Other great features of the iPad is it you can download iWork and iLife. This allows you to have a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation software, video editing capabilities, photo editing software and a music studio all on your iPad.

We've no idea which fried green tomatoes recipe Kathy Bates relied on in the movie named after these summer lovelies, and it doesn't matter, because we're hopelessly partial to this one. The proportions of cornmeal to flour and the ingenious dip of rich egg and tart buttermilk result in something that's impossibly lovely to convey in words.–Renee Schettler Rossi
Easy Fried Green Tomatoes
- Deep-fry or candy thermometer
For the fried green tomatoes
- 3 green tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for drawing the moisture out
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk, (low-fat or full-fat is fine)
- 3/4 cup cornmeal, (preferably finely ground)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Mild vegetable oil, for frying
For the remoulade (optional)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Creole or spicy brown mustard
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
- 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning, or more to taste
- A generous amount sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Prep the tomatoes
- Slice the tomatoes 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick and lightly salt both sides of each slice. Place in a colander in the sink and set aside for 20 to 30 minutes. The salt will draw some of the moisture out of the tomatoes.
Make the remoulade (optional)
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, ketchup, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, horseradish, and Creole seasoning. Stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add more Creole seasoning, if desired. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Coat and fry the tomatoes
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together. In another shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Pour enough oil into a deep skillet or Dutch oven to reach 1/2 to 1 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it registers 350°F (177°C) on a deep-fry or candy thermometer.
- Dip the tomatoes in the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, and then dredge them in the cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to coat them. Working in batches, fry the green tomatoes, gently turning them once, until golden brown on the outside and tender but not mushy on the inside, 2 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your tomatoes. Drain on a brown paper bag. Serve immediately with the remoulade sauce.

Recipe Testers' Reviews
This easy fried green tomatoes recipe makes a delicious side dish or snack with a lot of crunch and excellent flavor. The ratio of cornmeal to flour was really spot-on. This yielded tomatoes that were crisp and golden brown on the outside and tender but not mushy on the inside.
I sliced my tomatoes about 1/2 inch thick, which was perfect. I used 1 inch oil, which basically deep-fried my tomatoes, and cooked them for 4 minutes on one side and 2 minutes on the other.
The remoulade was very easy to make and worked great with the tomatoes, so I recommend making it. I didn't have horseradish on hand, so I used about 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce for some kick, which worked very nicely. I loved these with the remoulade and served them with pan-fried pork chops. The tomatoes are very addictive and I couldn't stop eating them until they were all gone (this was well after I was done with my pork chop).
These easy fried green tomatoes were super crunchy, tangy, light, and savory. They make a delicious appetizer to enjoy with a chilled glass of beer during the summer. I used coarsely ground cornmeal and it imparted an extra crunch that we loved. The remoulade was tasty, but I'd prefer it spiked with a bit more Creole seasoning and black pepper.
What a treat!! I've been curious about fried green tomatoes forever. This year, our garden left us with so many green tomatoes that I just had to give it a try. I'm hooked! They were so wonderfully crisp and had a slight tang from the buttermilk. I may have to try this breading on other meat and veg!
The remoulade was also really tasty. I served this dish with grilled steak, and we found that we were dipping our steak in the sauce, too!
I used low-fat buttermilk and fine cornmeal. My only recommendation is to double the cornmeal breading (I ran out and had to mix up some more) and cut the sauce in half as it makes a very large portion.
The next day, I reheated the leftover tomatoes on a baking sheet at 400°F for 15 minutes, turning once. They were just as good as they were right out of the frying pan! Definitely give this one a try.
As mentioned above, the breading mixture was not enough for the tomatoes (maybe mine were larger than what the author used) so I had to double it. The sauce makes quite a bit, and while it won't go to waste, it's definitely more than you need for this quantity of tomatoes.
