December 1982 - September 1989

We address ourselves to anarchists and all those who feel themselves to be in a situation of antagonism against the domination of the State and capital. We address ourselves to those who see that science is no longer neutral, and to those who see that the struggle against the vile experimentation on animals cannot be fought as a single issue but must be brought into the global project of the capitalist enterprise. To those who see that moral indignation is not enough. That simply adhering to a movement in name and having no concrete project is not enough. We address ourselves to those who want to take the risk of throwing old schema out of the window and look for a new road. An informal, flexible road. One which requires constant engagement in a dimension of permanent conflictuality, not sporadic moments, spectacular displays of numerical strength. For those who want everything now and are prepared to make sure they get it and realise that this road is one that we must work to create, experimenting together. What we are offering here is one instrument in that project. Not abstract theory but an attempt to go forward and develop means that are adequate to the present day in the struggle towards a free society. Much of the analytical and theoretical contributions are the fruit of involvement in the struggle elsewhere in recent years. It is therefore also an attempt to break down some of the geographical and linguistic barriers that are an obstacle and prevent a full development of the struggle. Elephant Editions is no more than a collection of texts, a contribution to the great cauldron of dreams, ideas and experimentation for those who have decided to make their desires reality, now, without delay. The prices are orientative, with the usual reductions for bulk orders, distributors, etc. For a contribution of fifty pounds you could receive a copy of each publication mentioned in this catalogue, including those in preparation. If you find any of the texts of interest and wish to receive them, send what you can. No amount is too little—or too much. Obviously, the less time spent procuring the necessary means, the more could be spent making available material that might be useful to us all. So it's also up to you.

Bonanno

No one can understand what is happening in the land of Palestine, not even those who have followed the bloody course of events involving the people who have lived there for so long. They face each other with hatred and suspicion, not just men and women, children and old people, but the very dust of the roads and the mud that covers them on rainy days, the asphyxiating heat and the stench of the sultriness.
There is no prospect of peace in sight. The ideal solution, at least as far as all those who have the freedom of peoples at heart can see, would be generalised insurrection. In other words, an intifada starting from the Israeli people, that is capable of destroying the institutions that govern them and of proposing peace based on collaboration and mutual respect with the Palestinian people directly, without intermediaries. But for the time being this perspective is only a dream. We must prepare for the worst.

Dominique Karamazov

In spite of its emancipatory and radical airs, feminism remains in the area of capitalist society to the point of even becoming the guardian of female alienation. It is not enough to define it an incomplete revolt, soliciting it to become total by abandoning the purely women's point of view. We need to show up its content and the inversions that it involves in terms of real solutions.

We all agree on much-debated points such as the attack on this system of exploitation that builds jails and represses every form of rebellion, and are for the total destruction of all prisons. We also agree that support and solidarity be given to imprisoned comrades everywhere. We want all our comrades free, along with each and every rebel currently detained in the dungeons of whatever State and, having our own concept of social retribution, are against prison even for our enemies.
It is within this context that we want to emphasize the specific case of Alfredo, whose age and state of health - alas - have also become part of the chronicle. It is quite obvious that his continued detention under the present conditions is a precise political choice, backed up by law—where power is taking to the ultimate degree its revenge on an anarchist revolutionary who has always been a sworn enemy of authority in all its forms.
It is time to act regarding Alfredo's situation, which is becoming extremely serious, as well as to denounce the widespread barbaric conditions that continue to exist in the Greek jails in spite of a protracted hungerstrike undertaken by thousands of prisoners last email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978673536151182686.post-3924199177772604422010-01-25T19:14:00.000+01:002010-01-26T19:14:46.965+01:00Solidarity with anarchist comrades arrested in GreeceThe somewhat hasty and long overdue compilation of this pamphlet is the consequence of a deadline, a solidarity gig in London to be held on July 5 [2007]. The experience has been intense, one could say a labour of love. Reading and setting out the words of the imprisoned comrades has been a way of knowing them and being fired by their courage and passion for freedom. For a moment the walls within walls, locked doors upon locked doors, endless corridors and claustrophobic cells disappear in an embrace of free spirits. That brings us to the question of solidarity, and this pamphlet should also be seen as a contribution in that direction, in the eternal debate on the practice of solidarity.

Alfredo M. Bonanno

A mass insurrection, or that of a whole people, can at any given moment lead to the State's incapacity to maintain order and respect for the law and even lead to the disintegration of social and economic conditions. But it is not enough simply to rebel. Even if a hundred rebels were to get together it would still not be sufficient, they would merely be a hundred crazed molecules writhing in destructive agony as the struggle spreads, wildly sweeping everything away. Important as an example and stimulous, rebels end up succumbing to the needs of the moment. To shoot before – and more quickly than – others is a virtue of the Far West.: it's good for a day or two, then you need to use your head. And using your head means you need a project. So the anarchist cannot simply be a rebel, he or she must be a rebel equipped with a project. He or she must, that it, unite courage and heart with the knowledge and foresight of action. Their decisions will still always be illuminated with the flames of destruction, but sustained with the fuel of critical analysis.

Jean Weir

Words. Mere words. The pages that follow are in part transcriptions of the spoken word—'the wonder worker that is no more', as Emma Goldman wrote wistfully over one hundred years ago when referring to the inadequacy of the spoken word to awaken thought and shake people out of their lethargy.
Here in the twenty-first century anarchists no longer talk about spoken propaganda to awaken the masses, bemoaning the absence of orators such as Johann Most or Luigi Galleani. In rare encounters organized by comrades today 'the masses' are noticeably absent, they don't even enter the equation. Organized meetings or 'talks' as they are dully referred to are well-attended if there are 50-100 comrades. But there is no need for panic. Now all but the most disconnected fossilized anarchists have moved beyond aims of a quantitative growth in a hypothetical anarchist movement—where discourses addressed 'to the masses' have degenerated into an insulting populism—to the elaboration of ideas and methods addressed towards immediate action and attack on power in all its forms. Numbers have ceased to be important for anarchists as a prerequisite for attack. The illusion of 'Le Grand Soir' was a wonderful dream, it kept the flame flickering and thousands of militants waiting in the wings.
No, lack of numbers is no cause for alarm. They are there, the exploited, all around us—are also 'us'—and could take us by surprise again at any moment (as could we ourselves). In the realm of the quantitative our task is to experiment and spread an insurrectional method for the self-organization of the necessary destruction of power and subjugation. Small groups with intermediate destructive aims based on affinity that can multiply, spread horizontally and coordinate, without limit. The apparent rift between anarchist theory and practice thus disappears along with the false conflict between individual and mass, and not least the conviction that the tenets of anarchism must be espoused by the exploited before they can fight for their own freedom along with that of others. An informal practice of attack leads to freedom revealing itself qualitatively, in leaps and bounds, far from the straight line of quantity, education, progress and waiting.

Anon.

This book is about living in hiding. It is a stab in the dark, a leap into the secrecy of the incognito, a parallel dimension in which even what could be said often is not. Out of excess of tact, fear or because one thinks it is not relevant. Or, in certain milieux and in the worst cases, due to mere political tactics. But, even at a glance, the world of clandestine people is not a desert land; on the contrary it is populated by living beings, experiences and ideas that are very close to ours, in both the most miserable and the most fascinating aspects of our lives, close to our most ardent desires and passionate daydreams.

This booklet is a modest contribution to understanding to the recent revolts in France. Needless to say, it is not sociological nor, in a nobler sense, theoretical insight. Revolt can only be understood by those who have the same needs as the rebels, that is to say by those who feel they are part of the revolt.. After a brief chronology, in fact, the pages that follow pose the question of how the events of November in France concern all of us, and also try to give a possible answer.

Alfredo M. Bonanno

The riots of the future will be more bloody and terrible. And they will be even more so when transformed into mass insurrections. And just as industrial conditions once made the syndicalist struggle reasonable, in a post-industrial perspective the only possible strategy for anarchists is the informal one. Groups of anarchists who come together with precise objectives based on intermediate aims, who are at the same time building the minimal conditions for transforming situations of simple riot into those of insurrection.

To study methods of revolutionary struggle without first having a clear idea of what we mean by revolution can be extremely dangerous and could lead to quite disconcerting consequences…
…That is why, before examining methods, it is necessary to clarify a few points: the concept of revolution, the alternative (only apparent) between violence and nonviolence, and the (concrete) alternative between authority and freedom.

Interview with Radio Onda Rossa, A Few Considerations by a Frequenter of the Courts

Alfredo M. Bonanno

Two well dressed little men, frequenters of the Courts of Rome by profession, have decided to arrest a few dozen comrades and incriminate as many more… A girl just turned twenty ends up reciting the role of the 'penitent' under the protection of a forest of bayonets… But we are defending ourselves. Because we are not convinced that the game is over completely, or that the State is winning even this ongoing small battle, and we believe there are still possibilities, even legal technicalities, in our favour. Apart from the obvious exceptions of course.

Anon

One part of this society has every interest in continuing to rule, the other in it all collapsing as soon as possible. Deciding which side one is on is the first step. But resignation, the basis of agreement between the parts (improvers of the existent and its false critics) is everywhere, even in our own lives?the authentic place of the social war?in our desires and resoluteness, just as in our little daily submissions.
With all this it is necessary to draw daggers, to finally draw daggers with life.

Introduction by Alfredo M. Bonanno

In Albania just three years ago a sudden explosion of popular rage demonstrated yet again that the State only exists thanks to the complicity of those it dominates. Written when the insurrection in Albania was at its peak, this inspiring account pushes us to reflect upon our limitations in the light of such events, and to seek ways to go beyond chatter and idle talk.

Hurry to say No, before the new repression convinces you that saying no is pointless, mad, and that you should accept the hospitality of the mental asylum.
Hurry to attack capital before a new ideology makes it sacred to you.
Hurry to refuse work before some new sophist tells you yet again that ''work makes you free'.
Hurry to play. Hurry to arm yourself.

The project of power for the future is to abolish the traditional prison andopen it up to participation, and at the same time create a new, absolutely closed version: a prison with white coats where the real outlaws will end their days. this is the prison of the future, and those who are talking about abolition will be happy, in that in future these prisons with white coats might not even be called by such a hateful name, but rather clinics for mental patients. this is where the logical premise of prison abolition leads us.

On June 24 2004, just over the border from Belgium, the German police stopped a car carrying three men and a woman for a routine 'drugs control'. The reaction of one of the passengers was immediate: he pulled out a gun and fired a shot in the air. Following a car chase in which the driver and his wife were also taken as hostages, the three men were surrounded by police and gave themselves up.
Who are these people? Why go beyond a generic sympathy towards all rebels who, having extracted themselves from the logic of slavery and submission, find themselves face to face with the guard dogs of capital? The reason is simple: these men, Bart De Geeter, Jose Fernandez Delgado and Gabriel Pombo da Silva, have something in common with us: they are anarchists, lovers of freedom and sworn enemies of exploitation.
And when the enemy succeeds in taking rebels hostage, locking them up, framing them as terrorists and enemies of the people, there are comrades everywhere for whom solidarity is a fundamental, inextricable part of the totality of the struggle.

No one emigrates from their country for pleasure – this is a simple truth that many want to hide. If someone leaves their land and loved ones peacefully, we don't define them migrants, but simply travelers or tourists.
Immigration detention centres exist all over fortress Europe as the bosses establish that only certain immigrants are allowed to stay while others are criminalized and deported. One such centre, Regina Pacis, near Lecce in southern Italy, was closed down following an unremitting struggle by a local anarchist group. Following this, operation 'Notte tempo' (night time) was unleashed by local police resulting in the arrest of 13 anarchists who were charged under conspiracy laws. Their trial is still going on.
This pamphlet presents a few contributions concerning the struggle against various detention centres in Italy, and actions carried out in other countries in solidarity with imprisoned immigrants and the Lecce anarchists.

Rear Rotors(pair)- JHM 2-piece Lightweight for B6-B7 S4 2004 up
**NOTE: As of 8/1/2012, all JHM Lightweight Rotors will now look like the picture below!!!***
Click to enlarge picture
Due to popular demand, all of our 2-piece, lightweight rotors will now come with black anodized rotor hats featuring Type 3, hard anodizing, the highest quality and hardest anodizing available for aluminum. This will make the rotor hats more resistant to fade and wear and will hide brake dust better. Due to popular, demand all lightweight rotor rings will also feature zinc plating. This high quality coating will slow the effects of corrosion and keep your rotor rings looking good through the winters.
IN STOCK AND READY TO SHIP! Shaves 6lbs of unsprung weight from the rear of your car while increasing braking performance, plus they bolt on just like stock! This is great alternative to a full on Big Brake Kit since the stock B6-B7 S4 rotor is already a stout 300mm (11.8") and most may not want to spend $2,000 plus for a full Big Brake Kit. We basically brought the same high performance great cooling designed rotor to these drop in (fit like stock) rear rotors and at a 1/4 of the price or less of a full Big Brake Kit. Stock vs. JHM
-Rotor Weight: Stock = 13lbs(each), JHM = 10lbs(each) - 23% LIGHTER, 3lbs less each.
-Rotor Cooling Air-gap: Stock = 8.5mm(.334"), JHM = 13mm(.511") - LARGER for better cooling
-Rotor Cooling Center Fin Design: Stock = Straight Fin, JHM = Airfoil - MORE EFFICIENT for better cooling
-Rotor OD: Stock = 300mm(11.8"), JHM = 300mm(11.8") - SAME
-Rotor Thickness: Stock = 22mm(.866"), JHM = 22mm(.866") - SAME
-Bolt pattern: - SAME (fits like an OEM rotor would) INCLUDES: 2 - JHM 2-piece Lightweight Rear Rotors. (Each rotor weighs 3lbs less than stock for a total of 6lbs weight savings.) 23% lighter! Outer ring specs:
We worked closely with a race brake manufacturer that supplies many NASCAR racers and a couple major brake kit companies. Due to their expertise we chose to have them build us the outer rings to our specs to fit the B6-B7 S4. 12 attachment points for durability and strength. Center hat specs:
We CNC machine the Aluminum center hats in house based on their recommended materials and thicknesses for durability. 12 attachment points for durability and strength. We also engrave JHM in them in 3 locations equal from each other, it looks clean and doesn't jump out or look tacky. Click to enlarge picture
NOTE: With the installs we have done we have found that our slot design is whisper quiet.
Click to enlarge picture
NOTE: Due to differing scale calibrations our estimates on our rotors are slightly high.

These things are awesome, it is definitely worth the money. If you have added a lightweight crank pulley you should have noticed your car revving faster through gears. With these you really notice the improvement over the stock boat anchors. On top of that the fit and finish is incredible. I run Hawk HPS pads with these and I couldn't be happier.
I do have one problem with them though. Now I want to find some lightweight wheels to match. (Posted on 8/5/2011)

The Spot
Tucked behind the main strip in Fremantle, amongst many of the hotels and inns in the neighbourhood, lies The Federal Hotel. The establishment has both an indoor and outdoor seating with a tentage to sport rainy weather. Personally, I very much preferred the outdoor seating with the ambience lighting to set a warm, cosy vibe in the evenings.
What I Had
To start with, we had a few bites of the Beer Battered Steak Fries ($8) served with a yummy side of aioli.
The 300g Angus Porterhouse ($38) comes along with a side salad and beer battered fries. You also get to choose your sauce, either red wine, peppercorn, or mushroom. Having tried all 3, I have to say the red wine does compliment the meal much more. The steak itself, I ordered in a medium-rare doneness and definitely had a delightfully smoky finish.
Up next, the delectable Federal Hotel Bangers & Mash ($26). Cumberland sausages laid on top of a bed of mashed potatoes over a spread of pea puree, topped with caramelised onion gravy. I have to say, not being a fan of peas, this dish really surprised me with its untraditional twist.
Served with federal sauce, house pickles and chips, the 150g Harvey Beef Burger ($22) through a tad bit pricey, was both enjoyable and appetizing.
What I Loved
Federal has daily promotions to get the ball rolling! With $17 steaks & house pints/wines every Friday, you might find yourself heading down pretty often. They even have free pool on Mondays to chase those blues away. Along with a well-stocked bar, they have several beers on tap including Guinness, all at decent prices per pint. Definitely a favourite haunt of mine.

Mondays to Thursdays: 12PM to 10PM
Fridays: 12PM to 12AM

|"Scouting for Food" is Scouting's community stewardship project aimed at addressing the problem of hunger in the community in which we live and work.Scouting for Food is a food collection effort carried out by Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers from your community. These Food drives are organized by yourDistrict's Activities andCivic Service Committee and it is expected that all units and Scouts participate in this annual service project.
|Scouts distribute food drive donation requests (flyers) throughout a designated area and then return the next week to collect plastic grocery bags filled with donated food. The bags are collected and carried to local food pantries, churches, shelters for the homeless, and other local agencies that feed the needy.
|Scouting for Food is a project rooted in the very foundation of the Scouting movement. Through initiative and hard work, the Boy Scouts have developed a framework that can help local food pantries feed tens of thousands of needy local residents with emergency aid.

Alice, Laura and Don Lee of Trout Unlimited engaged in recent tree planting efforts.
Spring is here. The weather is warming and growth is underway. Farmers have tilled fields and crops are being planted. Cows are going out to pasture and turkeys are gobbling! Tulips are blooming and dandelions are out in full force.
Leave the dandelions to bloom — don't cut them, they are bee food that is needed to get life started.
The apple trees are in bloom, and so far we have seen very little bee activity. No pollination means no crops, so leave the bees as much food as possible. Now is the time to think about planting a pollinator garden. Check out your local greenhouse and see what plants they have. You want to get a variety of plants that blossom at different times throughout the spring, summer and fall seasons so there is always a supply of pollen. The folks at Decker Flats Greenhouse in Moriah can help you out with your pollinator needs.
While we are on the planting subject, Trout Unlimited teamed up with Essex County Soil and Water to plant riparian trees and shrubs along Black Creek and Roaring Brook, both tributaries to the Boquet River.
Trees were supplied by the state Department of Environmental Conservation's Trees for Tribs program and from Trout Unlimited. The usual willows and dogwoods along with others were planted along the shoreline to provide bank stability and erosion control. In addition, the leaves supply energy to the system.
Trout Unlimited's Lake Champlain Chapter also donated 50 Liberty Elm trees. The varieties are Dutch Elm Disease resistant, and guaranteed to grow. They are a fast-growing tree, so hopefully in 10 years we have some nice shade trees growing along the banks of the Boquet Tribs and the Ausable River.
Forty Liberty Elms were planted along the Ausable River near the Bassett Flats area. They should do well — if the beavers don't eat them. If you are a trapper, there are some huge beavers up that way, so check with DEC about the regulations on land and trapping in the state.
Trees and shrubs weren't the only thing added to rivers.
Trout stocking took place this past few weeks. Thousands of browns, brookies and rainbows were added to area streams.
Trout Unlimited members from both the Lake Champlain Chapter and the Tri-Lakes Chapter, along with fly shop owners and guides, lent a hand at hauling buckets of fish to pools and runs on the Ausable and Saranac Rivers.
Trout were supplied by the Essex County Fish Hatchery in Crown Point.
I have noticed a few hatches coming off the waters, so insect life is starting on rivers too. Early mayflies and caddis are just popping. With the warm spell expected as I write this, the waters should reach the 50 to 55 degree temps needed to get the bugs flying and the fly rods flicking.
Time to go. I need to pound some fence posts and pay my dues before I get released from chore duty. Tomorrow I hit the river; I'll plant my feet in some gravel and wave a stick in my hand, flicking flies and catching trout.
Go outside and enjoy the weather, life is good!

Thom Yorke Smashes Dead Fish on Washer-Dryer
I could watch this on loop forever. Radiohead's Thom Yorke smashing a dead fish on washer-dryer, playing tennis, gettin' slapped around… parody edit from the "Lotus Flower" video…
I could do without the fart sounds… kinda of takes away from the humor of the piece, IMO.

A big thank you to Martim Noronha a partner with the Madeira Now team.
The new issue of Madeira Now will be available in April, and I will remind blog readers nearer the time, the booklet is packed full of information and discounts, and at such a small cost of €5.00, it could save you hundreds over your stay on Madeira.
Below is the process for refunds for the Porto Santo Line and Air travel.
I will also link to this in the useful link tab on the blog for future reference.
For Air Travel
Question: Who is entitled to this allowance?
Answer: Passengers who are resident, resident-equivalent or students, in Madeira.
Q: Which students are entitled to this allowance?
A: Those who, at the time of the trip, are aged 26 years or less and who:
They attend any level of official education or equivalent on the continent, the Azores or the EU and are resident in Madeira;
They attend any level of official education or equivalent in the ADR and reside on the mainland, the Azores or the EU.
Q: When is there a refund?
A: When the cost of the ticket exceeds € 86 (residents) and € 65 (students), in the case of travel between Madeira and the mainland.
When the cost of the ticket exceeds € 119 (residents) and € 89 (students), in the case of travel between Madeira and the Azores.
Q: Is the refund processed at the time?
A: No, it will only be processed when 60 days have elapsed from the invoice date or invoice-receipt, of the respective purchase.
That is, if the passenger travels tomorrow and bought his trip for at least two months, he will have his refund available on his return. On the contrary, if you book your trip one day in advance, you will have to wait 59 days to obtain the mobility allowance to which you are entitled.
Q: To what extent is this new model more beneficial to the passenger?
A: From the financial point of view. So far, the passenger received only € 60, regardless of the cost of the trip. With this new model, if the passenger buys the trip up to € 400, he only pays:
- € 86 for the mainland (get the difference – if it is € 400, get 314)
- 119 € for the Azores (receive the difference – if it is 400 €, get 281)
If the trip costs € 450, the passenger pays:
- € 86 for the mainland (receive the difference – if it is € 400, you get 314) + € 50 that exceeds the reference value: 86 + 50 = € 136
- 119 € for the Azores (receive the difference – if it is 400 €, get 281) + 50 € that exceeds the reference value: 119 + 50 = 169 €
The same reasoning applies to student travel.
Q: Does the passenger pay the full amount of the trip?
A: Yes, you pay the entire ticket at the time of purchase (as it happens today) and only after the trip can you request your refund from Post Office – CTT.
Q: Can travel be paid by credit card?
A: Yes, as it is today.
Q: Is there a right to a refund when you make the one-way trip?
A: Yes.
Q: What about the citizens who live in Porto Santo?
A: The students and residents in Porto Santo will have a final cost equal to that of the residents of Madeira, when they travel to the mainland. The principle also applies on days when there is no direct flight between Porto Santo and the mainland, ie when it is necessary to use the inter-island connection, provided that it is carried out within a maximum period of 24 hours.
Q: What is the maximum time allowed between the return trip for the purpose of reimbursement?
A: Twelve months.
Q: What types of tickets are not reimbursed?
A: According to ANAC and in the case of TAP, the following rates are only eligible: "Discount", "Basic", "Classic" and "Plus", the latter only from October 1st, 2016.
As for Easyjet, the "Standard" and "Inclusive" fare (only available through travel agencies) and Transavia for "Basic" and "Plus" are eligible.
With regard to SATA, the eligibility guarantee is only for "Discount" and "Smart" rates, as some fare basis of the "Value" fare is not eligible. For this reason, the purchase of the ticket with this last tariff should only be effective once its eligibility has been duly proven. "
Conditions for the refund for ferry boat tickets to Porto Santo.
The company that manages the ferry boat is called Porto Santo Line – www.portosantoline.pt
You ask for your refund, not at Post Offices like for the airplane refunds but at your local finance department (Finanças).
You must present your ID Card, your tax number, an official document from your bank with your account´s IBAN and NIB, an invoice from the boat trip you´ve done with the amount you spent on it which you can ask for at Porto Santo Line, and a declaration that proves you have a Madeira residency.
The refund is only available for trips done during low season which, in the case of Porto Santo Line, is the Winter Season. Summer months such as June, July and August do not apply to the refund. Check with Porto Santo Line for the correct low/high season dates.

– It has been nicknamed Chernobyl on the Hudson. Lying just 34 miles north of New York City's Central Park, the Indian Point Energy Center has been leaking the radioactive material known as tritium into the groundwater. On February 6, 2016 New York Governor Andrew Cuomo finally alerted the public as to the potential catastrophe. Better late than never? Potential nuclear disasters occurring at the Indian Point Energy Center now managed by the Louisiana based Entergy Corporation have been ongoing since 1973.
Obviously, Indian Point could potentially be a repeat of the level 7 Fukushima Daiichi disaster if a nuclear meltdown occurs due to a hurricane or other natural event leading to equipment failures. However, a similar disaster would require the evacuation of 5.6 million people and render Manhattan a no go zone for decades. In 2004, a study by the Union of Concerned Scientists estimated as…

Varth: Operation Thunderstorm is a shoot 'em up game released by Capcom in 1992 for it's CPS-1 Arcade board. It never received any console ports, but was later included in the Capcom Classics Collection.
In the year 2667, the mother computer Delta-7, which controlled all mechanized systems in the planet Varth, got possessed by a mysterious space entity called DUO. It turned against it's human makers and began a genocidal war, commanding it's mechanical troops to exterminate all human beings. The planet was plunged into violence overnight and many died in that first 24 hours. A small group of survivors managed to repair two old style fighters, so primitive that they still required human pilots and were not under the influence of Delta-7. These two fighters represent the last hope for man to prevail against the behemoth he has created... and you have been chose as the pilot.
Varth's gameplay draws very heavily from 1942 and other games in the 1940 series. The goal is to destroy enemy units while avoiding being hit, and reach the end of the level, occasionally ending with a boss fight. One hit from an enemy will cause the player to lose a plane, and at a lengthy 30 levels Varth makes for quite a challenge. The biggest difference between Varth and other games in the genre of its time is the inclusion of items called "Pods". When a player picks up a pod item, a pair of pods will follow the player and carry weaponry of their own to supplement their artillery. Additionally, pods can completely block most (but not all) forms of attacks from enemies, rendering the player almost invulnerable to attack from any direction in which the pods are situated. Players can choose from two formations for their pods - fixed or smart. In fixed mode, both pods remain directly in front of the player to render the planes invulnerable from the front, but leave them open on the sides and from behind. In the smart position the pods will remain separate from each other at a 180-degree angle, and move about according to the direction of incoming fire. If enemy fire manages to slip between the pods before they can react (potentially common in later levels as large numbers of enemies appear on screen), the player is left vulnerable and only has the option of moving in hopes of avoiding a hit.
Varth features three different weapons for the player - a laser (long rate of sustained fire but lowest horizontal range), a shotgun (relatively powerful with a potential range as wide as the player's craft), and multi-directional shot (very wide range but lowest sustained rate of fire). Additionally, three different types of pod weapons are available - homing missiles (weakest weapon but with a useful homing advantage), missiles (more damaging than homing missiles but can only fire forward), and napalm (powerful but with very low range). Like 1940 games, Varth also features bombs which allow the planes to perform "mega crashes". The type of mega crash a plane can do is determined by the weapon it is carrying. Lasers will result in an electricity attack that will cover the entire screen. The shotgun will fire missiles which will move from target to target. The multi-directional shot will fire a single large burst that moves directly forward from the player, then emanates many smaller bolts on reaching the top of the screen.
The game also features several items which can help the player in other ways, such as point-yielding icons, items which will increase the power of your arsenal, additionally bombs, and items that will destroy all enemies on a screen. Perhaps the most useful item is the Yashichi, which will instantly upgrade a player's weaponry to its highest level.
There are many parallels to 1942 and its sequels in the game. The three main weapons featured in the game, as well as the presence of a mega crash, originate with 1943. Additionally, the presence of five red aircraft which follow each other in a formation and will drop power-ups when destroyed, as featured in Varth, is a staple of the 1940 series.

Project Grantee: Shahid Javed Burki Institute of Public Policy (BIPP)
Project Description:
Teemardar Medicine Inventory Management basically improved the management of medicines through better inventory, procurement and tracking systems. Corruption and misuse of medicines at government health facilities resulted in a substantial loss to the provincial exchequer. This impacted the timely availability of affordable and reliable medicine. The TM pilot automated the inventory management system to reduce pilferages, improve availability, maintain visible inventory and create data for informed procurement and distribution of medicine at district level. The pilot was designed to vertically integrate with PITB (which was working on standardised procurement of medicines in the districts) and with the work of district planners to provide evidence based needs assessment of medicine requirements. Additionally, the pilot created displayed spots of inventory for public view to increase transparency. Finally, by tracking exact use of medicine the pilot developed a disease patterning in the district that informed planning and budgeting. The pilot used district government's staff for implementation to ensure uptake. The staff was trained within the pilot. The project was implemented by Burki Institute of Public Policy (BIPP) who signed an MOU with PSPU, Health Department to be responsible technical guidance and sustainability.
The project operated in Sheikhupura and benefitted almost 1.3 million patients who received medicine from the electronic desks. All the historic data of stocks was uploaded to ensure daily inventory record was visible.
Inventory management component of the project led to controlling pilferage, transparency, better monitoring and evaluation and efficient service delivery. Similarly, Electronic Record Management (ERM) resultantly improved patient record, disease records and patient disease history.
Adoption & Scale-up:
A detailed presentation was made to Secretary Primary Health, who instructed to start developing a PC-1 to present the project in the next year's ADP. Economic Viability of Scale-up: Benefit of Province Wide replication: Punjab government was spending around PKR 17 billion a year on medicine. An improvement of 5%, 10%, 15% or 20% may result in efficiency gains through reduction in pilferages, improved availability and improved transparency [i.e. reduction in wastage] from the scale up will result in an annual respective benefit of PKR 0.85 billion, 1.7 billion, 2.55 billion or 3.4 billion with a respective perpetual value of PKR 10.63 billion, 21.25 billion, 31.88 billion or 42.5 billion, assuming discount rate to be 10% and growth of 2%.

Coronavirus (COVID-19): what you need to know and local service updates
[Skip to content]
Registering to vote is a quick and easy process and can be done online at:
You will need to provide your name, National Insurance number and date of birth. Once your details have been checked, you will be added to the Electoral register.
You need to be on the register in order to vote in elections and referendums.
It is also proof of your identity and is often used by credit reference agencies and mortgage companies when performing back-checks on people applying for credit, for instance.
Two versions of the electoral register are produced - the full version and the open (edited) version.
Full Register
The full register lists the names and addresses of everyone who is registered to vote in elections.
The register is used for electoral purposes, such as making sure only eligible people can vote. It is also used for other limited purposes specified in law, such as detecting fraud, calling people for jury service and checking credit applications.
The full register of electors is a public document. You can only inspect it under supervision at the council offices, where you will only be able to make handwritten notes of its contents; by law you are not allowed to use these for any direct marketing purposes.
The full register is supplied to political parties, elected representatives and election candidates, law enforcement agencies and credit reference agencies.
Open (Edited) Register
A second version, the open (edited) register of electors, is also produced. It omits the names of those who have asked us to leave them out.
The open register can be bought by any person, company or organisation. For example, it is used by businesses and charities to confirm name and address details. Your name and address will be included in the open register unless you ask for them to be removed. Removing your details from the open register does not affect your right to vote.
For more information about the two registers including requesting to be taken off the edited register, please contact us on firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 01327 871100.
Even if you are excluded from the open register, you will still be listed in the full register by law.
We are republishing the revised register on 17th February. Please view the Notice of Publication here
Viewing the Register
Appointments must be made to view the register by calling the Council offices on 01327 871100 and asking for the Elections Team.

Former Vice President Joe Biden criticized the Trump administration and its supporters during a recent speech at the Human Rights Campaign annual LGBTQ dinner, per Newsweek.
Biden and his wife Dr. Jill Biden spoke alongside other progressive politicians like Virginia state delegate Danica Roem, former Attorney General Eric Holder, and Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams to the crowd of LGBTQ activists.
"We've come this far because you spoke up, because you demanded justice, because you'd been denied to long — and you did it despite the voices of intolerance that tried to tear you down. And many of you — especially those of you closer to my age — paid an enormous personal price, a professional price and literally put your lives in jeopardy to speak out," Biden told the crowd. "You risked your livelihoods, your very personal wellbeing."
"Your tenacity, your integrity literally bent the arc, the moral arc of this nation, much more toward justice," Biden said.
Among praise and encouragement for advancements of LGBTQ civil rights, Biden took shots at President Trump during his speech, claiming the commander in chief was using the "White House as a literal, literal bully pulpit, callously exerting his power over those who have little or none" and accusing him and his administration of being an ally to "forces of intolerance."
The vice president also took aim at Trump voters and those against LGBTQ equality.
"They're a small percentage of the American people, virulent people. Some of them, the dregs of society," Biden said.
Biden told the crowd him and former President Barack Obama had agreed to "remain silent" initially about the incoming president to give them time to "get up and running."
"God forgive me," Biden said, clearly appearing to lament the choice.
Biden said the alt-right, white supremacist Unite the Right rally on August 2017 that led to the death of 32-year-old protester Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, Virginia, was the turning point where the duo reconsidered their silence.
Both condemned the president, Biden warning the United States in October 2017 that the U.S. was heading down a "very dark path" and Obama breaking his silence in a speech last month, according to Newsweek.
"We have leaders who at the time when that occurred, when these guys were accompanied by white supremacists and Ku Klux Klan…making a comparison saying there are good people in both groups," the former vice president said, referring to Trump's comments in the wake of the tragedy, claiming that there were "fine people on both sides" of the protests.
"What has become of us? Our children are listening. Our silence is complicity," Biden told the crowd.
We are all used to Creepy Joe saying stupid stuff but this is too far even for him. https://t.co/vNiD9TDZg6— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) September 16, 2018
Donald Trump Jr., the president's eldest son, responded to Biden's comments on Twitter, writing "We're all used to Creepy Joe saying stupid stuff, but this is too far even for him."
