QAnon went silent on October the 9th. This is the 3rd time Q went silent. Every time Q went silent our good friend Vincent Fusca appeared in the audience of the VIP section of a Trump rally.
For the ones new to this blog, or even for my regular readers, let me give you a short update to who QAnon is and who Vincent Fusca is.
Q is an intelligence team of the highest security level in the current US administration who are communicating with We The People through the last non censored free speech channel available which, at the moment, is 8Chan. Thanks to Q we know what's really happening behind the geo-political curtains and how this planet is being liberated from a luciferian cult.
This short video gives a perfect and very current overview of what's playing at this very moment on the political stage.
Back to Vincent Fusca. As you could have read in my previous blog, we believe JFK jr staged his own death in order to continue to work behind the scenes to revenge his father's murder.
Here's a very interesting article about JFK jr theory called:
We think JFK jr created this persona and then used it as a cameo to appear at the rallies. Here's a video of the real Fusca. The one in my previous blog was mysteriously removed by YouTube, but I found another video.
Here the Fusca persona is wearing the same Kavanagh Fedora his father used to wear.
Shortly after, this photo appeared with a mysterious lady called Denise Raz Kil in a polka dot dress. Did you know that there is a book about the murder of Robert Kennedy called the Polka Dot files, because a mysterious lady in a polka dot dress was involved?
Needless to say that we're not letting this red pill moment go to waste. This Halloween Honza is going dressed as Vincent Fusca. And I'm going dressed a sexy Q Punisher.
And red pilling I am. Having a restaurant in a tourist town offers plenty opportunity to strike up a conversation and steer the talk in the desired direction. Some people can handle 10%, which is always a good measure to start with, and some are ready to hear the entire story on how evil has had a strangle hold on humanity.
I found a very interesting video with a recording from 1967. A speech by Myron C Fagan about the history of the Illuminati and how far back they had created plans for WW1, WW2, and even WW3 back in the 1700's. Well worth your time to understand the source of evil.
By now we have close to 60,000 sealed indictments. We are all eagerly awaiting the mass arrests, but we have to wait until after the mid term elections because of the Hatch Act. Then we'll see the historical defeat of this organized crime syndicate who traffic drugs, arms, organs and children, and are involved in many secret military and space programs.
David Wilcock has written a very lengthy article about the upcoming mass arrests. If you are familiar with his work I suggest you skip to part 3.
Also, Mike Adams from Natural News gives some interesting additional views on the planned mass arrests and military tribunals.
There is one thing you need to understand.
We The People can forgive you, The Deep State, that you didn't tell us about SSP's, UFO's, ET's, and suppressed technology that would warp us into a Star Trek life style. We'll soon catch up.
But there's one thing we can never ever forgive. What you do to our children. Hundreds of thousands of children are kidnapped and trafficked for one sole purpose: to be raped, tortured and sacrificed under the most horrendous circumstances during your dark satanic ceremonies, meanwhile extracting your favoured drug Adrenachrome from your victims brains.
Often people ask me how I know all these things. I usually refer them to my last blog because I always mention all my sources in the hope you will start doing your own research.
Before I end this blog with my list of sources, YouTube channels, and newspapers I want to mention a few new victims/survivors/whistle blowers that I've come across.
The YouTube channel Dauntless Dialogue from Adam Riva has presented us with some excellent interviews with new Secret Space Program whistleblowers.
The first one is Tony Rodrigues.
The second one is Randy Cramer.
The YouTube channel International Tribunal for Natural Justice has presented us with testimonies of survivors of sexual ritual abuse who name a few very big names. These testimonies are not for the faint of heart.
Here's the one of Fiona Barnett.
Here's the one of Rachel Vaughan.
On a positive note, some of our most favourite people we follow, namely David Wilcock, Corey Goode and Jordan Sather, have independently produced a documentary that will blow your mind. Here's the trailer.
And I've found a new guy that I've added to my list of people to watch on YouTube. His channel is called In Pursuit Of Truth.
His style is funny, radio DJ like presentation, with crazy clips, but spot on.
Before we hit the streets for Halloween with our red pill costumes I'm ending this blog with my sources.
Here's the photo of our costumes. The Mexican police car must be a coincidence.
Fans of various Q Anon Facebook pages thought this was a very cool costume. But what totally made my day was the moment I found out that Liz Crokin had tweeted this photo on her Twitter account. You have to know that she is my HERO! She's a very successful and respected investigative journalist both in the White House and Hollywood. Well, that was until she started covering elite child sex trafficking rings some 2 years ago, after which her life has become quite challenging, to put it mildly.
Okay, so here we go with the list of sources.
In the morning I start with the Facebook Pages of:
Then I shift through a bunch of newspapers:
Then half way the day I receive the following websites in my mailbox that contain a treasure of more interesting articles:
And by the end of the day my husband and I watch episodes from the following YouTube channels:
That's it folks, for now. Happy Research.
The Great Awakening is happening and you are part of it!

When "Lego Batman" arrived onto consoles in 2008, the game introduced both kids and comic book fans to a terrific take on the Dark Knight's legacy, one that replaced the seriousness with joyful co-op action and the opportunity to play as both heroes (Batman, Robin) and villains (The Joker, Riddler and others). The game performed well for Warner Bros. Games and the title's publisher, Traveler's Tales, so it should come as no surprise that a continuation of the franchise would be in the cards.
According to a report on Bricktuts, "Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes" is in the works for various consoles, and rumored for release sometime next summer. Like the original, the game will give you the opportunity to play as either hero or villain through a pre-set story campaign, either working solo or teaming up with a friend in co-op play.
The big difference this time around is that the game won't be limited to the confines of Gotham City. This time, various characters from the "DC Universe" will be joining the never-ending battle on the sides of both good and evil. You can expect to see Lex Luthor, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and others battling alongside and against the Caped Crusader, each possessing their own special abilities. Expect plenty of brick-breaking battles, along with puzzles and the same type of charming humor the Lego series of video games has become known for.
"Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes" is set to arrive in summer 2012, around the same time "The Dark Knight Rises" will hit movie theaters. Lego is reportedly planning to release various Batman-related toy sets that tie-in with the film.
If you want to check out the original, "Lego Batman" is available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and 2 and Nintendo Wii. You can also order it on the OnLive game service, as well as PC. Price is around $19.99.

Now that you know how to make the most of your indoor aerobic workouts (see Part 1 in the November newsletter), let's explore what would happen if you swapped some of your treadmill time for resistance training. Isn't aerobic training enough? Would your endurance training suffer? How would you begin?
Weight training, especially if it is new to you, can feel intimidating and less effective than 20 more minutes in the pool, but knowing the answers to these questions will help you make the most of your indoor training this winter.
Isn't aerobic training enough?
You know that resistance training is good for you, but, as a triathlete, you aren't sure why you need it. You are in great shape aerobically and exercise plenty. But weight training has specific, unique benefits that are important to your overall health and training longevity:
- Improved bone density – The stress placed on bones from resistance training makes your bones stronger, reducing and even reversing "normal" bone loss associated with aging and non-weight bearing exercise.
- Controlled blood sugar – The muscle pumping action improves the movement of glucose from blood to muscles with less use of insulin, reducing your risk of developing diabetes.
- Increased confidence – Changes to how your body looks and feels, as a result of building muscle tone and strength, lead to more positive beliefs about your body's size, shape and abilities.
- Improved mental health – Endorphins released with strength training are associated with happiness and decreased risk of depression – an important consideration during these dark and dreary months in the northwest!
- Increased motivation – Objective, rapid progress is a key feature of consistent resistance training. With just 2-3 sessions per week, you will be able to increase your weight and reps quickly. This will keep you motivated when you are plateauing with your mile pace despite hours on the treadmill!
Will your endurance training suffer?
The research on strength training for endurance athletes is convincing. It has been shown to increase Running Economy (a complicated scientific measure of how well your body uses oxygen while running: think of it as similar to the fuel economy of your car) in highly trained middle- and long-distance runners. In another study, resistance training improved time-trial performance and economy in competitive endurance athletes. The National Strength and Conditioning Association's book, Developing Speed, concludes "The athlete who performs both resistance and endurance training in an integrated and appropriately planned fashion will perform at a higher level than the athlete who performs only classic endurance training."
When it comes to burning calories, the truth is that resistance training burns more calories than aerobic workouts in the long run. Compare real time workouts calorie-to-calorie, and time spent on the treadmill will most likely surpass time spent curling dumbbells. But, over time – even in the 24 hours after workouts - weight training burns more calories because it increases muscle tissue. Muscle burns 3-5 times more calories per hour than fat tissue, making your body more efficient at rest, with training and while racing.
How do you begin a weight training program?
As is true with anything in the fitness world, there are plenty of ideas and opinions about how to build muscle and do resistance training "right." But, like most things in life, there are infinite paths to success and a few guiding principles:
- Whether it is dumbbells, weight machines, kettlebells, resistance tubing, or a circuit training class, you will get the most out of activities that you enjoy because you will stick with them.
- Start small. As little as 2 weight training workouts per week for 20-30 minutes will result in the positive benefits outlined in this article, and you will still have plenty of time to log laps and miles.
- When in doubt, ask for guidance from a personal trainer, physical therapist, coach or other exercise specialist. Small changes in form can lead to big improvements in results and reduce risk of injury.
- There are many schools of thought on sets and reps, but 3 sets of 10 repetitions per exercise is a good place to begin. Aim for muscle fatigue, not pain, toward the end of each set.
As with aerobic exercise, make the most of your resistance training by sticking to sport-specific activities. Here are a few specific exercises to get you started:
Swimming: Lat Pull Downs (pull down to chest in front of you, One-Arm Cable Pull from low height with high elbow, Lateral Raises, Planks
Cycling: Leg Press, Squat, Lunges, Hamstring Curls
Running: Single Leg Squats, Calf Raises, Hip Extension Bridges with Swiss Ball
Now you know why adding resistance training to your indoor workouts is worth your and how to get started. Go ahead, change up your winter training in 2018 and watch your body change and race times drop!

I recently attended the Piyami Cruisers 19th Annual Show and Shine which is held by the local club in Picture Butte, Alberta. It is a smaller town but they always get a good turn out of interesting vehicles. The 1946 Studebaker truck above was a real beauty and something not often seen. The full gallery is http://www.flickr.com/photos/daveseven/sets/72157630504811340/ with a selection below:
1929 Pontiac Rat Rod – this one was a driver too as I saw them drive off and I've seen it Lethbridge which is about a half hour highway drive away.
Both Canadian market trucks (the Fargo brand was also sold overseas but those weren't usually made in Canada) and both in fantastic condition. The Mercury is a 1950 M-47 and the Fargo is a 1968 Adventurer.
A neat trike built from a 1969 Volkswagen and a Suzuki bike front end. It was powered by a hot VW air-cooled engine at the rear.
Always nice to see some AMC products like this 1975 AMC Matador and 1972 AMC Javalin.
1941 Chevrolet Coupe
A selection of Model Ts as well with a these both being 1926 models – a Tudor and Pickup.

Pilgrimage of Grace 1536
- Created by: Moon
- Created on: 16-04-13 21:17
Pilgrimage of Grace:
The Pilgrimage of Grace was not one large single rebellion but was a group of overlapping smaller rebellions in the north of England in counties such as Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Cumberland that took place in 3 different stages.
Stage one: The Lincolnshire Uprising:
The first part of the rebellion broke out in Louth, Lincolnshire in October 1536.This initial stage involved around 10,000 men however they were easily dispersed due to the fact that a royal army was sent under the leadership of the Duke of Suffolk.Henry made it clear that he was not going to listen to the demands of the rebels
For the most part the people involved in stage one of the rebellion were commons with some gentry which suggests that their motives were not political. Also the leaders of the uprising collated a list of demands which highlights some of the causes.
Causes (and Evidence) for the rebellion include:
- Religion:
- the dissolution of the smaller monasteries affected many local communities. The articles of the rebels includes ' The suppression of so many religious houses... we think is a great hurt to the commonwealth and many people are put from their livings...' which suggest the monasteries were key in local areas. ( Also social and economic as it affected peoples jobs etc)
- The rebellion was at the same time commissioners sent by Cromwell were due in the area to among other things suppress the smaller monasteries and enforce the Ten articles.
- The North of England was more conservative therefore they are likely to have been apposed to the more protestant 10 Articles.
- The Article also named Bishops who the rebels believed 'made false the faith of Christ' for example the Bishop of Salisbury and the Bishop of Dublin. (These bishops are in diocese far away from the local uprising in Lincolnshire which suggests that the rebels were not solely from the commons and perhaps had a political motive.)
- Social and Economic:
- 1535 had been a particularly bad year for the harvest.
- The rebels were against the Statute of Uses, a subsidy during peacetime that meant people inheriting land had to be taxed. The articles state 'we humbly beseech your grace the the Statute of Uses may be suppressed'.
- Worries about rumours of a livestock tax.
- A dislike of Thomas Cromwell and Richard Riche ( However the rebels do stress their loyalty to Henry)
Was it serious?
In terms of threatening Henry personally or making a march on London stage one was not a threat, however, it was not the purpose of the rebellion to be a direct threat to the monarch. It appears that they were interested in local issues. Also the fact that the rebellion was easily repressed also shows that it was not that serious. However it was serious in the respect that it showed that there was opposition to religious and social policy and this small rebellion sparked other uprisings that led to the Pilgrimage of Grace.
Stage two : The Pilgrimage of Grace:

Even a team of funny paranormal specialists needs its requisite black guy, and Winston more than rose to the occasion. Specifically in Ghostbusters II, when his amount of screen time was increased, the Ghostbusters' fourth wheel knew his role and played it well, chiming in with level-headed input amidst his goofier teammates' silly banter. For the time being, at least, the "funny black co-star" trend got bucked.Previous SlideNext SlideListsMoviesPop CultureSeth Rogen

Overall Rating:
If you've played Electronic Art's Sudoku game for the iPod, you know what to expect from the iPhone version. While the iPod game requires you to use the click-wheel to navigate the user interface, here you of course use the touch screen. Like that version there are multiple difficulty levels, thousands of puzzles, hints, annotations, stats, a newspaper solver, and in-game help. It's a game that serves both the casual and hard core Sudoku player.
Sudoku's presentation is top-notch. The whole user interface is very slick and has a nice oriental vibe to it. Actual game play is very refined and the way annotations and hints are integrated is simple and easy to use. Initially three difficulty levels are available. You accrue Sudoku points by winning games and those are used to unlock two additional difficulty levels.
When you start a new game you can turn on error checking. This will instantly reveal whether you've correctly filled in a cell or not. In-game hints can reveal a particular cell's value, and you can ask the game to annotate all cells if you wish. These all reduce the number of Sudoku points earned. In-game help explains all modes and aides.
There isn't much to complain about except to say that there are a number of other Sudoku games available, both free and at less cost than this one. If you've played the iPod version and liked it, you will find this to be almost identical although using the touch screen is far easier than the click-wheel. If you've tried free or low cost versions and weren't satisfied, this one is worth considering.

As soon as they opened the door to the Kendal at Oberlin woodshop, it was evident that they were in their comfort zone. This is not the kind of place where most 12 and 14year olds like to hang out. Eddie and Charlotte have a special connection here. They are the grandchildren of Kendal residents, Jim and Anne Helm.
Jim, who can fix or build just about anything, passed the art of woodworking on to his son Paul, the father of Eddie and Charlotte, and now to the next generation.
It's a lovely summer day that finds Eddie, Charlotte, their mother Tracey, Jim and Anne in the woodshop. Eddie and Charlotte both have projects that are near completion.
Eddie and Charlotte's familiarity shows as they go directly to the tools they need. They are both adept at using a table saw, band saw, hack saw, drill press and routers…pretty impressive!
Eddie is in the process of building a tool box. He has built the base, and now it is on to building the lid. He is confident and focused as he chooses a piece of wood and carefully measures where the cut should be. With his grandfather overseeing, Eddie moves to the table saw where he methodically makes the cut, lines the lid up on the base and drills holes for attachment. Jim has taught him well.
While Eddie is working on his tool box, Charlotte is finishing up a detailed shelving project. She has cleverly designed the vertical curio shelf, with the guidance of her grandfather, using the letters of the word 'LOVE'. The large three dimensional wood letters, which Charlotte has made, are stacked in a zigzag formation, which appears to be floating. It really is a creation both utilitarian and a work of art.
A Little Free Library Becomes a Family Project
Another project was truly a family affair including three generations, with Jim, Paul and the children taking part in the design and building of a "Little Free Library" house. Little Free Libraries are found outdoors throughout the country in places where children can easily access them. There are no due dates and books are donated.
The library house was built to dimensions of 1 foot long and 2 feet tall. It has two stories, allowing for two shelves of books. After the house was built, Charlotte's Girl Scout Troop painted and decorated the house with bright colors and stars. It is definitely eye-catching. The Girl Scout troop then stocked the Little Free Library with books and donated it to the Evening Street Elementary School in Worthington, Ohio.
This is much more than teaching children new skills. It's really about genuine intergenerational connections. It is clear that Eddie and Charlotte love being with their grandparents, and the warm smiles of Jim and Anne say the rest.

ANOTHER AFRICA by Binyavanga Wainaina, Roland Schimmelpfennig and Deborah Asiimwe, directed by Ross Manson, Liesl Tommy and Weyni Mengesha, with Milton Barnes, Tom Barnett, Maev Beaty, Araya Mengesha, Tony Nappo, Muoi Nene, Lucky Onyekachi Ejim, Ordena Stephens-Thompson, Kristen Thomson and Dienye Waboso. Presented by Canadian Stage and Volcano Theatre at the Bluma Appel (27 Front East). Previews from Monday (September 26), opens September 29 and runs to October 22, Monday-Saturday 8 pm, matinees Wednesday 1:30 pm, Saturday 2 pm. $22-$99. 416-368-3110. See listing.
There's a moment in Another Africa when Kristen Thomson's character engages in a slapfest with co-star Maev Beaty. It's a climactic scene, with the two women shouting and tearing into each other.
So, will this be done via a theatrical trick? Or will it be real, juicy palm-on-face action?
"I hope you're not left wondering," says Thomson, smiling, without missing a beat. "I hope by the end of the play you have your answer."
That's the kind of clever response I'd expect from one of Canada's best actors. If there's anyone who can lay bare her emotions onstage, it's Thomson.
Consider some of her best-known roles: Problem Child's distraught young mom who'll do anything to get her child back from social services; the sympathetic and practical nurse who helps Gordon Pinsent's philanderer reach his Alzheimer's-suffering wife (Julie Christie) in Away From Her; and especially, in her first script and the project she's most associated with, the preteen title character in I, Claudia, who's coping with her parents' separation.
These are such psychologically rich portraits, you believe them all the way. So even if her hand doesn't connect with Beaty's face, you'll think it does.
In Roland Schimmelpfennig's Peggy Pickit Sees The Face Of God, one-half of Another Africa, a remount (with a new prologue) of two scripts that debuted in 2010 at Luminato, Thomson plays Liz, a wife and mother in an unnamed Western city who, with her husband, reunites with their old friends, a couple who've just come back from Africa.
"There are a few plays that feel kind of like holy missions, and this is one of them," says Thomson, nursing a tea upstairs at Balzac's in the Distillery District, after a long day at the Canadian Stage rehearsal hall a few minutes away.
All four characters are physicians, and their dinner party soon turns into a metaphoric minefield as the four step around issues of first-world privilege, humanitarian aid and the idea of living a meaningful life.
"In North America there's a tendency to believe that every problem has a solution," says Thomson, choosing her words carefully. "That's actually not true. There are some problems that, when you engage with them, become more complicated. Every time I start to talk about the play and try to say what I think it's about, the conversation keeps turning over."
As if on cue, Judy Collins wafts from the café speakers singing Both Sides Now, the part about not knowing life at all.
One reason Thomson wanted to take on the role (played during Luminato by Jane Spidell in a Dora-nominated performance) was to work with Ross Manson. He spearheaded the work, which has evolved over four years on three continents, and directs the program's other half, Binyavanga Wainaina's Shine Your Eyes.
"Ross has a particular kind of vision and ambition that takes him outside of Toronto," she says. "He's really hungry to meet international artists and to bring different theatrical languages to what he's doing. There's a lack of political theatre [here], and Ross and Volcano have a mandate to do political theatre."
Thomson doesn't take on just any acting role these days, mostly because she's a busy wife (her husband, Hussein Amarshi, founded the film company Mongrel Media) and mother to their six-year-old twin boys and four-year-old girl.
She's also developing a new script as writer-in-residence at Crow's Theatre, tentatively called Someone Else, about a middle-aged couple.
"They've been together for 18 years. He's a doctor in a clinic and she's a stand-up comedian in a creative slump," she explains. Thinking about getting older inspired the piece.
"None of us is completely on schedule, right? You think, 'How did I end up here and not there?' And 'What do I make of this?' I think middle age is another kind of adolescence, a time when a lot of stuff is changing."
One thing she's enjoying about aging is changing along with her community. She's known her Another Africa co-stars Tony Nappo and Tom Barnett for a long time, and Beaty for a number of years.
"So when we talk in the play about how we've changed over the years, I have a point of reference for what that means. I love having these relationships that kind of become part of the working environment."
Thomson almost didn't get into theatre at all. She studied English and politics at U of T. Then her best friend died in a car accident, an event that shook her and eventually made her pursue something she really wanted to do. She switched to the drama program, graduated, then enrolled at the National Theatre School.
When I ask about other key moments in her career, she singles out three people, in no particular order: George F. Walker, who wrote Problem Child and the other Suburban Motel plays; the late Urjo Kareda, who convinced her to write I, Claudia at the Tarragon; and Chris Abraham, who's helping her develop her new play at Crow's and directed the award-winning stage and film versions of I, Claudia as well as its tour last year to the Edinburgh Festival.
She also says Soulpepper has given her constant support, especially through the years of raising children.
"Theatre's always a collective undertaking, so it's nice to know there are people who are willing to stick with you through the years," she says. "Not just piece to piece, but [for a while]. To have a place in that community is amazing."
It's one of several times in our conversation she mentions support and community - so I have to ask how she feels about the current conservative attitude (federally, municipally) to the arts.
"I want the city, the province and the country I live in to be a place where there's some recognition that we're not just managing an economy but also trying to make a place that's habitable for people to live together peacefully," she says.
"The arts are very much a part of that. There's this feeling that the arts are a frill, something expendable and elitist. But really, the arts are inside everyone's home, and professional artists add to the mix of the kinds of stories that are being told and the way they're told. Isn't that what we do when we talk to each other? We tell stories."
Learning about life through story-telling - it's part of Another Africa, and it's also part of I, Claudia, which Thomson calls not literal autobiography but emotional autobiography. Her parents divorced when she was seven.
"Somebody once said to me, 'You should thank your parents for getting divorced! That's why you could write this play!'" she says with her distinctive husky laugh. "I think there's something affirming in it. Taking something that happened and turning it into a story that communicates something to whoever sees it. That's great."

The film director Claude Miller, who has died aged 70 after a long illness, was continually dogged by comparisons to his friend and mentor François Truffaut. Hardly a review of his films failed to mention Truffaut in some way or another. This came about for various reasons. Miller was Truffaut's production manager on several occasions and made subtle references to the older director's work in many of his own films, almost always mentioning him in interviews. He had a small role in Truffaut's L'Enfant Sauvage (The Wild Child, 1970) and adapted La Petite Voleuse (The Little Thief, 1988) from a 30-page screenplay that Truffaut had written a few years before his death.
When Truffaut was once asked whether he had started a school of directors, he denied it. "These people are more influenced by other directors than myself. If Claude Miller has points in common with me, it's more a question of affinity. For example, I share his liking for Bergman." Certainly, Miller shared Truffaut's desire to touch a large audience without sacrificing his soul, as well as a humanist attitude and a refusal to moralise, though Miller had a rather darker view of humanity.
If comparisons need be made to another director, then Claude Chabrol might serve as well. Like Chabrol, Miller's oeuvre is dominated by psychological thrillers, including adaptations of the English-language crime writers Patricia Highsmith (This Sweet Sickness, 1977), John Wainwright (Garde à Vue, 1981) and Ruth Rendell (Betty Fisher and Other Stories, 2001).
But it would be unfair to judge him only in the light of others, for his films can be appreciated on their own terms, thematically and stylistically. The typical Miller film has a central figure under a lot of pressure, either self-imposed or coming from others. His is a cruel universe, created with great sensitivity and handled with astonishing ease, fluidity and economy.
Miller was born in Paris into a secular Jewish family from whom he drew some of the characters in his domestic drama Un Secret (2007), set during the second world war. Miller's father was a leftwing militant, his uncle escaped from Buchenwald. Aged 20, Miller entered IDHEC, the leading French film school. After military service, he was an assistant director on Robert Bresson's Au Hasard Balthazar (1966), Jacques Demy's Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (1967) and Jean-Luc Godard's Weekend (1967).
One of Miller's early short films, La Question Ordinaire (1969), confronted fascism by counterposing ideological statements and shocking images of torture. His first feature, La Meilleure Façon de Marcher (The Best Way to Walk, 1976), was a sardonic, neatly made tale of sexual identity and male posturing, telling how an instructor (Patrick Dewaere) at a summer camp for boys accidentally discovers another counsellor (Patrick Bouchitey) in make-up and drag, then sets about bullying him mercilessly – but the victim gets the girl.
Dites-Lui Que Je l'Aime (This Sweet Sickness), starring Gérard Depardieu and Miou-Miou, both obsessed by unrequited amours fous, failed dismally with critics and the public. Miller then gave up directing for four years and made television commercials. He returned with a great success in Garde à Vue. Mostly confined to a room in a police station, it was a gripping, beautifully played cat-and-mouse thriller which focused on an inspector (Lino Ventura) questioning a suspect (Michel Serrault), who is accused of raping and murdering two little girls.
In Miller's film noir Mortelle Randonée (Deadly Circuit, 1983), Serrault was a private detective obsessed with Isabelle Adjani, whom he imagines as the grown-up version of his daughter. Miller managed to play on the theme of incest in a dryly humorous and subtle manner.
There followed what could be called his trilogy of female adolescence, starting with L'Effrontée (An Impudent Girl, 1985), starring a 14-year-old Charlotte Gainsbourg in her first main role, as a rebellious, vulnerable teen-ager seeking escape from her monotonous home life. Her misadventures are more painful and true than most rites-of-passage movies. Gainsbourg returned in La Petite Voleuse as a girl who longs for adulthood and freedom. L'Accompagnatrice (The Accompanist, 1992), which was also Miller's first period piece, was set in Nazi-occupied Paris and centres on the relationship between a young accompanist (Romane Bohringer) and an international opera star.
After the failure of La Sourire (The Smile, 1994), an eccentric, erotic fantasy, Miller returned with La Classe de Neige (Class Trip, 1998), another psychological thriller, set effectively against snowscapes, which won the jury prize at Cannes. La Petite Lili (2003) an elegant, updated version of Chekhov's The Seagull, gave a nod to Truffaut's Day for Night, for a film is being made of the play. Je Suis Heureux Que Ma Mère Soit Vivante (I'm Glad My Mother Is Alive, 2009) was co-written and co-directed with his son Nathan, mainly because of Miller's poor health. It turned out to be an intriguing drama of a troubled adopted teenager seeking his birth mother. Fortunately, Miller managed to complete his final film, Thérèse Desqueyroux, based on François Mauriac's novel, and starring Audrey Tautou in the title role.
The modest and softly-spoken Miller is survived by his film producer wife, Annie, and Nathan.

The Festal Shout!
I'm back from a great week away at the Without Borders Bible Week. Although this verse wasn't mentioned, it highlights for me one of the main themes of the week.
One of the first prophetic words that came was that we are a people who enjoy the privilege of the light of the Lord's face upon us. Even Moses when he beheld the Lord's glory was not permitted to see his face.
Several times in the evening meetings there was a great shout of praise that went up to the Lord. Not forced, not manufactured, though on occasion encouraged, they were an entirely fitting and appropriate response to the presence of God in the midst of his people. A festal shout from a people celebrating the light of the Lord's face upon them.
The word translated here as "festal shout" is the Hebrew word "teruwah" - it represents a powerful tumultuous noise. It was used for a loud shout or cheer of joy, the blast of the trumpets, a war cry, and the sound of a tempest.
It was in response to the people of God's mighty shout [teruwah] that God brought down the walls of Jericho. It was with a joyful shout [teruwah] that the people of God responded when the ark of the Lord was brought into their midst (1Sa 4:5) and when the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid (Ezr 3:12).
I like the way the ESV translates this word as "festal shout" in Ps 89. The NASB uses "joyful sound" and the NIV just uses "acclaim" which doesn't really capture the means (or volume) of this acclimation of joy! You can't really imagine the walls of Jericho falling to a polite hand-clap and a muttering of "well done" or "good show!"
Perhaps this highlights a problem that exists in many of the expressions of the church today, where to shout in a church meeting seems strange, foreign, out of place, inappropriate or maybe even sacrilegious. Many believers today have lost the blessing of the festal shout.
Is it because we (in this country) are too British? I don't think so. Up and down the length of this nation you will hear roars of festal shouts rising from stadia every time a leather ball hits the back of a net. I've never yet had to hear a commentator address a home crowd and say. "Now we are going to watch the replay, and this time, when the ball goes in I want you to stand up and make some noise." It's a natural expression. It's almost unnatural not to raise a festal shout in such situations. Yet in the church, it seems so often such instruction is required. Those who have so much more to celebrate. Do we not realise the significance of what God has done, or do we not know how to respond?
I believe the problem is not too much Britishness (or insert other nationality here) but too much religion! Shouting is an affront to the high-minded religious prude that can lurk beneath the surface of our spirituality. While our inner child wants to shout with joy to the king, our inner Pharisee will try its best to reign it in.
But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant (Mt 21:15)
Perhaps this is part of the blessing of the festal shout. It binds the spirit of religion and releases the true spirit of worship. It is an appropriate response from earth to heaven that provokes a response of blessing from heaven to earth.
He has not beheld misfortune in Jacob,
nor has he seen trouble in Israel.
The Lord their God is with them,
and the shout[teruwah] of a king is among them. (Nu 23:21)

Truly fresh, Chris! Let me express my appreciation with a lesson learned: BLESS THE LORD!
You know, I think that did beat down my inner Pharisee (at least a bit). ;-)
- 3/8/08 4:40 am
I was also at the recent Bible Week and did feel a consistent theme was the "shout of the people", I have always been conscious that as part of a praise and worship team any response should be natural and not forced, it can be easy to generate an emotion, there is an a gift in flowing with the spirit and allowing the spirit to prompt response rather than allowing technical skills to generate emotional responses to the environment. And at no time did feel a shout was forced but flowed from the spirit in that meeting and the "phrase festival shout" is ideal.
During one of these occasions I wanted to scream my throat dry for the Lord, I remembered a sporting match this year when the team I was sporting was losing and need one more score to win, the action was right in front of my seat and I was screaming encouragement to the players to extent that I lost my voice (not that this stopped me attempting to scream my support), however at the Bible Week I never lost my voice despite attempting to shout to the Lord as loud as I could! This left me wondering what more I could do! At the point I have concluded that it wasn't "British" reserve that was the issue rather it was passion! At the sporting match did I really believe that shouting encouragement at the people in front would make a difference? Yes. And I need to translate to shout to the Lord

Oh yes, you've obviously experienced the festal shout! We had a festal shout in church last week, and it shook the walls. It was the most divine sound I've heard in church. We need more and more festal shouts!
Thank you so much for this excellent article.

Hello Chris,
This is also Chris, from Grapevine, Texas. I was doing my morning devotional just now from a book by the title of "Jesus Calling," and Psalm 89:15 was part of it. I recently switched to using the ESV rather than the NIV or NASB as my primary study Bible. Like you, I was intrigued by the expression "festal shout," and being kind of a geek, the first thing I did was google it. Your blog post came up at the very top of page 1.
What an excellent thing to have stumbled across! I am humbled when God leads me to a revelation because I showed even the slightest interest in exploring one of His rabbit holes. You made a reference to Nu 23:21, so I went and looked it up. (It's been at least a couple of years since I spent any time at all in Numbers.) In the accompanying commentary, it says: "The king in view here is God himself, whose festivals are marked by shouts and trumpet blasts."
I attend a very much alive church in Grapevine, Texas called 1:21 Community Church. The "1:21" is from Philippians 1:21—"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." I will say this about your comments regarding the reluctance of people to raise a festal shout in church....we don't seem to have that problem in a lot of churches down here in Texas. I don't know if it is simply the Southern Baptist way; or if it is the influence of rural African-American churches on the southern culture; or if it is simply that we have finally arrived at an evangelical expression of joy in our King and don't feel the need to repress it.
I have been in other churches, including the one I attended when I found faith at age 41, where that expression of unrestrained joy was often lacking; so I do know what you mean. I saw in your bio that you preach His Word. At my church, I am part of the worship team. It's kind of funny now, really, because I'm an old, fat, semi-crippled guy with snow white hair and bifocals, and I am easily old enough to be the father of every single other member of the worship team, including our worship pastor; but I have been playing guitar for 48 years, and so there is a place for me at the table. I am eternally grateful for this. But when I am playing for Him, I am young again, and my back does not hurt and my eyes are sharper, because indeed "[t]he king in view here is God himself, whose festivals are marked by shouts and trumpet blasts."
Thank you for being God's servant and willingly leaving that little nugget for me down at the bottom of this particular rabbit hole.
God's blessings on you, your family, and your ministry.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. It's a real encouragement to know that what I have written has been a blessing.
There are so many nuggets waiting for us in God's word; may we both keep finding them.
Every blessing

Like Chris, I came upon the "festal shout" reference in my reading this morning and looked it up on the web finding your blog in the process. Your comments were right on the mark. I have experienced that bubbling up of the Spirit which bursts forth in a joyful shout but only a few times. My inner Pharisee is SO stodgy! Once was in a wonderful little church in Governors Harbour, Eleuthera. What a joyful congregation they were. I am forever grateful to them for sharing that Sunday with us.

Happy Friday, loves! I hope you gals had a great week back after the holiday! It's been a busy one, I'm looking forward to just relaxing a bit and finally getting our Christmas tree decorated. (We got our tree last weekend but never finished decorating!) You may remember I mentioned last year that one of our family traditions is watching White Christmas while we decorate the tree… well, this year, we watched White Christmas but never got around to finishing the tree lol. Oh well. There's always this weekend!
Can I just wear all blush, all the time? Pink has always been my favorite color. ALWAYS. I just love it and while my favorite shade may have changed over the years (I cringe remembering my hot pink phase!) these days I'm all about a subtle blush, which is essentially a neutral, right? Pairing blush tones with gray just feels so current and now. I love the combination! This cardigan is crazy soft and only $27.99, which means you need it in your closet, stat. (It's also available in 5 colors!) It actually works really well for Miami because it's not TOO heavy, but it's warm enough that it would make a great layering piece in a colder climate. This cozy scarf is my new favorite… it's crazy cozy and I just want to wrap myself in it all day long. Crank up the a/c, babes. #DontCare. It looks WAY pinker than it actually is online on their website, but the coloring is pretty true in my photos, FYI. (I had to, like, double check the style number and everything to make sure it was the same!)
I love, love, love these sunnies! They're called 'Queen Bee' and they hit the Fantaseyes website this week, finally! You can get them for 10% off w/ code: SPARKLE10.
Check out my cozy fall look below!

Air pollution may raise risk
STRESS, frustration, rising blood pressure and breathing problems are common in motorists who spend hours in traffic jams. Now scientists have found another health consequence of traffic snarls— diabetes.
Scientists from German Diabetes Centre and the Institute for Environmental Medical Research at Heinrich Heine University, Germany, claim traffic-related air pollution could raise a woman's risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The study, led by Wolfgang Rathmann, started in 1985. It included 1,775 healthy women, all 55 years old. They were from the industrialised Rhur district of West Germany and nearby non-industrialised towns. The researchers examined the participants again between 1990-2006 and found that 187 of them had developed diabetes. Data from environmental agencies was collected to determine each woman's exposure to air pollution.
Living within 100 metres of busy roads more than doubled the risk of diabetes, Rathmann said. Components of traffic pollution, particularly nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter, were significantly associated with a higher risk of the disease, he added. The more pollution a woman encountered, the greater was her chance of developing diabetes, the researchers concluded in the September issue of Environmental Health Perspectives.
Rathmann called for additional confirmatory research so that preventive measures could be taken. He commented, "The relevance of our study may be greater in some Asian countries, including India, because air pollution there is 10 times higher than in Germany." India is home to 50 million diabetics.
Ambrish Mithal, who heads the division of Endocrinology and Diabetes at Medanta Hospital, Gurgaon, said "though the study is interesting and relevant in Indian context, it is preliminary in nature".

If you have diabetes, just think of diabetes as a star-struck lover who will never leave your side, no matter how far on a package tour or cruise or bus ride you go. There is no escaping it, even if you're near the peak of Mount Fuji or inside the pyramids of Giza. It does not mean, however, that you can't have fun when you travel with diabetes. What is important is proper preparation and planning way ahead. Anticipating the worst case scenarios almost always helps in avoiding them.

Certainly there are the impetus of one's life style on the health related issues. One must consider the effect of genotype as well. Its always a matter of debate among the biologists that how and what can dominate in a said condition of interaction of these two factors. One thing for now is sure that the person with a more vulnerable genetic make up has got more chance to develop a disease with respect to it normal counterpart. Along with that it is also a proven fact that active life style can help to come out of bad reflection of genetic make up.

Werth May Be Playing His Final Regular Season Home Game on Sunday for Phils
Remember in 2007, when the season went down to the last game of the regular season with the Phillies winning the NL East Crown at home? It could be the same scenario on Sunday at Citizen's Bank, as the Phillies lost on Saturday night against the Mets, and the Braves won during the day and beat the Nationals. The 'magic number' is still at 2, which means the Phillies must win tomorrow, and the Braves lose for the Phils to win the NL East Crown at home.
I still remember the atmosphere in 2007 at the ballpark, it was one of the most exciting games I've ever been at. To say it was 'electric' would be an understatement.
The Phillies could have put themselves in a position to win at home with just a win, but now that they lost on Saturday night- the only way they clinch at home is Braves lose, and Phils win for Sunday. The Braves of course are playing the Nationals.
The loss ended the longest winning streak of the year for the Phillies. They won 11 in a row on this torrid pace that they've set in September already. The team is at 19-4 for the month, and it looks like only one more win will put the Phillies into one of their best single month record ever recorded.
The game tonight had a minor blip on the Mets vs. Phillies radar. A slide into second base by Chase Utley in game 1 of the series on Friday night wasn't appreciated by some Mets, and though they didn't try to deck Utley, some Mets players made it known that they didn't care for it.
Geoff Jenkins joined Chris Wheeler and Tom McCarthy last night in the booth
Cole Hamels will have a chance to give the Phillies a win on Sunday and with a Braves loss, give the Phillies their 4th straight Division title. Hamels' has been pitching great for several starts now, and he's going to close out the regular season out at home for the Phillies at 1:35 PM on Sunday. There will be six more games remaining on the schedule, the Phils will travel to Washington and then Atlanta to finish up the regular season.

Promote him to Harrisburg. Can anyone (paging NFA Brian), give me a scouting report or tell me if he is a legitimate prospect or he is someone in the mold of Stammen?
Fastball: Meyers has been clocked in the 92-94 mph range, but was throwing 88-91 in his first start.FB Movement: His fastball does have some sink to it.Slider: Meyers' slider can be a plus pitch at times and he reportedly worked on increasing the velocity of it during the offseason, but it did not stand out in this start.Changeup: When it's working, it's a good offering. But Meyers has had trouble throughout his career finding consistency with it.Control: While walking only one, Meyers continued not miss many bats, striking out just three in six innings despite having above-average stuff.Physical Description: At 6-foot-6, Meyers has the prototypical projectable pitcher's body.Medical Update: Healthy.Strengths: His size and the hint of plus stuff.Weaknesses: Inconsistency with his stuff. He didn't really have an out pitch in his first start.Summary: Scouts have been watching Meyers since high school (the Mets drafted him in the 14th round in 2004) and will continue to do so because of the potential and the body type.
I think he has a higher ceiling than Stammen and I think he should be brought up to Harrisonburg asap. Let's put this guy on track.
Promote him to JMU
1-Stephen Strasburg, 2-Chien Ming Wang, 3-J. Zimmermann, 4-Scott Olsen, 5-Brad Meyers This is our future.
Hindsight is fun, no?
Boy, was I wrong.

When we first moved here we put Loren in a traditional childcare that stated that they are an "award winning preschool." That couldn't have been further from the truth. We found within a week of Loren attending that she was extremely bored and unchallenged. This created such a difference in her attitude. When we were in San Antonio she would come home and entertain herself, always smiling and happy, singing, and with tons of new knowledge, politeness, respect, and art work. But over just a week at a "daycare preschool" Loren would come home with a bad attitude, not wanting to go, telling me how much she didn't like her teachers and the other kids, and all she wanted to do was watch TV. This was not at all like the Loren I knew. This put us on a mission to find a better alternative learning environment. We then looked into the Montessori teachings and philosophy and found Sunrise Montessori. After visiting a few different Montessori schools in the area, our minds were made up the minute we walked into Sunrise. We knew without a doubt that this was the best place for Loren! We have been at Sunrise since August 2007 and it has been truly awesome. It is so homey and clean, and the staff is incredible!! They are great with the kids, caring, clean, and extremely personable. Loren loves going to school everyday and now the dreaded mornings are full of excitement. She is back to her old self again, singing everyday, polite, respectful, happy and smiling, full of great conversation and knowledge, as well as the art work. We are amazed by her everyday when she tells us about the stuff she is learning, for example: germs and good hygiene, geography, as well as not talking to strangers. Sunrise proves to me on a daily basis that we have made the right decision for Loren and it's funny because sometimes we forget that we are talking to a 3½ yr old. We also have another child and even though she only 5 months old, she is already in line to attend Sunrise Montessori when she turns 3. Thank you to all of the staff at Sunrise Montessori for making us feel so welcome and comforted knowing that our Loren is getting a great foundation and is in great hands on a daily basis

30-Minute Total Body Tubing Workout
An amazing client and FWPJ member requested a tubing workout so that she and her loving husband could keep up with their fitness while travelling.
Wow. How could I say no to that??
Today's Tough Love Tuesday Workout is the BEST workout to do while travelling, or if you can't/don't want to purchase equipment (like dumbbells) for your home.
Tubing is:
- Inexpensive
- Packs well
- Is lightweight
- Does not take up a lot of space
I always travel with my tubing, my tubing door attachment, my GymBoss timer and a skipping rope. It's a no-brainer when I pack.
Total Body Tubing Workout
For this workout, and whenever working with tubing really, I recommend a tubing door attachment.
These handy little attachments will enable you to turn a door into a full workout area. You can do so many more exercises when using a door attachment with your tubing.
To purchase, head to your local fitness store, you will find them there running for less than $10. Click here to check them out and I also chat about them at the beginning of the workout video.
As for exercise tubing, I only use this brand. It is, hands down, the best type of exercise tubing that you can buy. The resistance is steady and the handles and tubing are sold separately, so you can really adjust the intensity and resistance for each exercise. It's the same tubing I use in the video below.
These are also awesome workouts to do when travelling:
- Belly, Butt & Thighs Workout
- 20-minute Fat Blast Workout
- 40-Minute Home Cardio Workout
- No Gym Required Bodyweight Workout
- 15-Minutes To a Stronger Back

Provides health insurance companies with the ability to automate the capture of information
Provides the ability to dramatically decrease processing time
Provides access to all business documents directly from the core line of business applications
New Business Processing in Health Insurance is typically a manual paper intensive process with a heavy volume fluctuation due to Open Enrollment which often causes insurers to hire temporary sales and support staff. Timing is critical in that once the sale is made, the new business issuance needs to follow as soon as possible. With most sales happening door to door, effective field operations are imperative to meet processing requirements. Typical health insurers who use OnBase to manage their open enrollment process are able to reduce time to issue a new policy from what previously took seven days to less than 24 hours.
The OnBase Insurance Solution provides health insurance companies with the ability to automate the capture of applications from the point of receipt, regardless of file format or point of origin. The Field Enrollment Solution is ideal for this segment of the business. Managing missing and required supporting documents is simplified with OnBase because it provides the ability to monitor required information and improve the quality and timing of the new business process. Automatic notifications can be generated and sent to sales agents when items are missing or do not pass the validation requirements.
OnBase provides the ability to dramatically decrease processing time by allowing for parallel processing and automation of many points within the business process. OnBase provides access to all business documents directly from the core line of business applications, saving Customer Service representatives more than five hours per week. OnBase provides management with an automated approach to monitoring service level agreements and production levels, allowing them to spend their time more effectively in making underwriting decisions.

The camcorder shakes as it films the thud of thick .50 caliber bullets ripping through a steel plate target in the heat of the Arizona desert. Panning across the jagged rocks and cacti, the camera then focuses on the shooter: a smiling Mexican sitting down on the dust as he uses both hands to fire the huge state-of-the-art weapon that can tear through tank armor. He was the happy customer, having bought the killing machine from an Arizona gun shop for about $21,000. The grainy video was seized by ATF agents in a raid on a weapon traffickers' safe house in Yuma. One man in the film was arrested and faces charges. But the man who showed off his shooting on the video is believed to be south of the border using the cannon-like gun to wage Mexico's relentless drug war.
This traffic of heavy weaponry from American gun stores to Mexican drug cartels will once again feature in talks between the U.S. and Mexico when President Barack Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderón meet at a North American summit in Guadalajara on Aug. 9 and Aug. 10. Mexico with its strict gun laws has long complained that the vast majority of firearms used by the gangs wreaking havoc here are bought in El Norte. Meanwhile, Obama has said more unequivocally than any previous President that the U.S. has a responsibility to stop American guns getting into the hands of the mobsters.
But seven months into Obama's Administration the guns keep flowing south and show no sign of abating. Mexican government raids continue to turn up vast arsenals of brand-new firearms that can be traced to shops north of the Rio Grande. Another sign of the gangster's abundant supply of firepower is that they can afford to leave some weapons at murder scenes to avoid detection. Along with the river of guns, Mexico's bloodbath has deepened into the Obama era. Last month was the deadliest since Calderón launched a frontal offensive against drug cartels in 2006, with 854 drug-related killings. In total, more than 13,000 people have perished in massacres, beheadings and execution-style hits under Calderón whom Obama has compared to the "untouchable" Elliot Ness for his fight against organized crime.
Obama concedes that one major problem in stopping the traffic is the strength of U.S. gun laws and the gun lobby supporting them. Mexican officials have pushed for the United States to reinstate a Clinton-era ban on assault rifles. Such weapons especially Kalashnikovs and AR15s are behind the vast majority of Mexican gang-killings. Both types of guns have been sold widely in Arizona and Texas since the U.S. ban on sale of assault weapons was repealed in 2004. A 2008 Supreme Court decision reinforces the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, making a future ban even more difficult. In his first visit to Mexico in April, Obama said apologetically that it was beyond his power to overturn that. "Assault weapons, as we now know here in Mexico, are helping to fuel extraordinary violence," he said. "Having said that none of us are under any illusion that reinstating that ban would be easy."
But perhaps Obama could also better use the resources he does have to stem the flow of firepower. His Administration has ordered new checkpoints with hundreds of Homeland Security Agents searching for guns heading south. However, such random stop tactics have had little impact on a border that stretches 2,000 miles from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, ATF agents who run the intelligence work that nets most convicted traffickers still complain about being overstretched. In the Phoenix area, for example, the ATF has only 20 dedicated firearms investigators for thousands of gun sellers; some shops don't get inspected for years. "The traffickers have very organized operations. Intelligence work and investigations are the best way to get at them," says Peter Forcelli, who runs the Phoenix firearms-trafficking group. A veteran of the New York Police Department, Forcelli says the scale of the problem in the southwest is overwhelming. "I seized more AK47s in my first week in Arizona than in 15 years in New York," he says.
Calderón will be especially keen to see new efforts on the U.S. side because a large chunk of the American money promised for Mexico has been delayed. Under the Merida Initiative, $1.4 billion was earmarked to help Mexico fight cartels over three years. But following accusations of Mexican army abuses including torture, rape, and murder the Senate has held back 15% of those funds until it can certify that Mexico is making efforts to clean up its human-rights record. Mexico's Congress this week issued a statement condemning this certification process. While American shops are arming the cartels, the lawmakers said, they have no right to judge the Mexican army for fighting back. "We can never agree with a foreign government unilaterally judging us in return for economic help to deal with a shared problem," said Rep. Tomas Torres.

The unit with a capacity of 6.0 MMTPA at a cost of Rs. 1419 Crores is a replacement of old Crude and Vacuum units of the refinery.
This Refinery of BPCL was commissioned in 1955 by Burmah Shell Refineries Ltd. with a capacity of 2.2 MMTPA.
Post-nationalization in 1976, the refinery has progressively expanded through low cost revamps and adoption of new technologies.
Currently, it has an installed capacity of 12.0 MMTPA with three Crude & Vacuum Distillation units with matching secondary processing and treatment facilities, the statement added.
The commissioning of this new CDU would ensure cleaner environment and efficient use of energy with lower emissions and reduction in energy consumption.
The Sulphur dioxide emission from this new unit would be less than 10.5 mt/d, the lowest in the country amongst all the refineries.
Tightly heat integrated with furnaces of higher efficiency, the reduction in energy consumption in terms of Liquid Fuel Equivalent (LFE) is expected to be about 30 % which results into estimated savings of Rs. 128 Crores per annum on fuel consumption, the government statement said.
The integral part of this new CDU is its superior design and safety features. This has resulted in significantly lesser number of equipments as compared to older units and facilitates better turnaround management during shutdown and routine maintenance.
The unit is designed with the latest safety features like blast-proof control room and closed drainage system, thus making it an efficient, intrinsically safe and sustainable unit, with higher distillate yield of 3% and thus contributing to higher Refining margins.
Looking ahead, the stabilization of this unit would help in dismantling the old 1955 CDU units, thereby creating space for refinery modernization to meet future auto fuel norms and other profitability enhancing projects.
Speaking on the occasion the Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced the plan of setting up of a new refinery in Maharashtra.
Chief Minister, Maharashtra assured to provide land and other facilities for the proposed new Refinery.
This would be in addition to the two refineries of HPCL and BPCL(with combined capacity of 20 MMT) in the city of Mumbai.
Maharashtra consumes about 18 MMT of petroleum products per annum which is going to increase in the coming years, the government statement added.
