60 years ago, on January 20, 1960, by the decree of the USSR Government, the world’s first Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) R-7 entered operational service in the Strategic Missile Forces. The super long range missile system, developed by the team of OKB-1 (now known as RSC Energia) headed by the Chief Designer Sergei Pavlovich Korolev, not only became the basis for the nuclear-missile shield of the country, but also ushered in the space age for the whole of mankind.

The regular Flu is a killer and has always been a killer of humans….yet I see no panic media about “The Flue”…
Seasonal flu kills 291,000 to 646,000 people worldwide each year, according to a new estimate that’s higher than the previous one of 250,000 to 500,000 deaths a year.The new figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other groups were published Dec. 13 in The Lancet medical journal.The updated numbers, which do not include deaths during flu pandemics, are based on more recent data from a larger and more diverse group of countries than the previous estimate, the CDC said.

But…
Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that cause diseases in mammals, including humans, and birds. In humans, the virus causes respiratory infections which are typically mild but, in rare cases, can be lethal. In cows and pigs they may cause diarrhea, while in chickens it can cause an upper respiratory disease.

So I am confused when I look at Flu related issues…
In total, the CDC estimates that up to 42.9 million people got sick during the 2018-2019 flu season, 647,000 people were hospitalized and 61,200 died. That’s fairly on par with a typical season, and well below the CDC’s 2017-2018 estimates of 48.8 million illnesses, 959,000 hospitalizations and 79,400 deaths.

So to my understanding we have many die from the regular Flu, yet we do not panic about that. Yet, we do panic about the Coronaviruses….which seem to be milder overall when compared to the Flu…
To add to my confusion…
Almost everyone gets a coronavirus infection at least once in their life, most likely as a young child. In the United States, coronaviruses are more common in the fall and winter, but anyone can come down with a coronavirus infection at any time.
Source: Coronavirus Symptoms, Causes, Treatments, Types
Therefore, I am not understanding and not finding real and conclusive information to tell anyone what the Hell is going on…
At least 80 people have died in China due to the deadly infection, with over 2,700 cases confirmed in the country. At the moment, medical authorities have placed several cities on lockdown, while numerous countries are introducing measures to stop the spread of the disease.
“At the moment, we have identified more than 100 people who have clinical signs of an infectious disease, and at the same time have a history of visiting China. Each of them was identified promptly, isolated, placed in a hospital in a boxed ward, and fully examined. In each case, the aetiology of infectious disease has been established”, head of the Russian consumer protection agency Rospotrebnadzor Olga Popova stated on Monday.
She also expressed hope that a vaccine against the coronavirus would be created soon, adding that at least two Russian laboratories are currently working to develop one.
But: Shouldn’t the whole world be locked down for the FLU? (If we use anything I see on media as a base for locking down cities…)
Thus, I will wait and watch and try to understand what is happening and why is this virus much more important that regular Flu?
Maybe I am just stupid or something. We wear masks and a standard face mask is not able to come even near stopping a virus from passing through. The regular flu kills a whole bunch of people every year, after year….
The latest hype and misinformation coming out of our latest Code Orange emergency preparedness is about a disposable dollar mask made with white cloth and an elastic strap – the N95. Sold at medical supply and hardware stores, they’re the lightweight, nose-and-mouth respirators designed for medical settings and good for blocking allergens when mowing the lawn. Which begs the question: Can a mowing aid fend off a weapon of mass destruction? How effective would they be in a biological, chemical or nuclear
Source: N95 Masks Flying Off Shelves, but They Offer Scant Protection
Yet we are buying the N95 masks like they are going out of style and in fact they are out of stock and in fact they have been going for 1000% more than they are worth. That is panic buying…
And the N95 mask that everyone is buying is actually called an “Air Pollution Mask”…
Your ass is grass if you are exposed to a virus and you think that a N95 mask will stop it and or even hinder its movement. A virus is too damn small….you need a mask and suit like what you see the guy wearing. Got any of those outfits? I don’t and I bet you don’t either. But they will be glad to sell you a two cent N95 mask for $10+ and you can walk around and feel better…
Wonder how long a filter system will last. they did not last very long when I was in the military and you started to suffocate very fast as they clogged up with dust and particulates….(Then there is that issue of changing filters while trying to keep from getting the virus?)
Whatever and we will just watch and see what happens!
I guess I am just stupid or something like that. But we seem to be in the middle of a dog and pony show and a possible disaster at the same time…

It has nothing to do with sanctions except to use said sanctions as the reason to block information that the US does not want you to see. Other words, truth is not wanted in the USA…
It is, “A good lesson for all to avoid using US hosted servers.”

It is, “A good lesson for all to avoid using US hosted servers.”
We fought the battle for many years and the US won. We went from top tier site to bottom tier due to years and years of attacks and being forced to move the domain to a server that the US could not shut down very easy. It was too late after years of such attacks….7 hosting sites to finally find one not able to be easily destroyed…
Everyday another information site that does not conform to the western standards of fake news is taken offline…
Has Fars News been knocked off the web because it was at the forefront in stipulating US casualties/death counts immediately after the Iranian missile strikes on the two US bases in Iraq? Does that mean Fars News was stating the truth (give or take a few casualties)? the US simply cannot counter opposing narratives to its own propaganda and thus has to resort to silencing all dissenting points…a sure sign of a weak argument. That in and of itself should tell people who is more or less telling the truth and who is lying by suppressing any counter assertions, rather than rebutting them.
This examples of the damage done – pictures at Dailymail and even a video of the damage so people can see…and this is just then ones they let out….imagine what is covered up. Finally we are starting to hear that many men were hurt and I suspect soon we will hear about deaths. If they can cover it up they will. Obviously they (USA) could not cover up the brain damage men. The reports are talking up to 80 men died? That is not verified yet…
So a website just report the truth is knocked offline…
Nothing new to me. Been there and experienced that…

MOSCOW, August 8. /TASS/. The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade in cooperation with major international automaker will announce production of a new electric vehicle on the Russian market in 2020, Deputy Minister Alexander Morozov said on Thursday. “We will announce production of the next following electric car in the coming jointly with the largest international automakers, which have rightfully become the Russian ones at present because they have assets in Russia and commitments on deep localizatio
Russian Engineering and Manufacturing Сompany is focused on development and implementation of non-standard technical solutions and advanced technologies in Electromechanics and Powertrain in International and Russian market. All for just $7000 total price…
Main Development Parameters:
1) Flexibility
2) High road performance
3) Economic expediency
4) Ecological performance.
Usage of advanced technologies and up-to-date approaches allows us to develop transmissionless 4×4 platform with capsular cab connection.
Flexibility:
Сapsular cab and chassis connection allows to produce on one platform vehicles of different purposes from sports and entertainment cars till utility and commercial vehicles. Under this project the line of electric vehicles could be produced with category A, B, C, D with high level of passive and active safety (city cars, social, municipal and commercial vehicles)
High road performance:
Electronic ABS/ESP. Each wheel control of drive torque, power and speed of rotation makes possible to realize any “electronic assistants” without component base changing/ adding.
Combined brake system with separated electric and hydraulic circuit solves all issues of safety, reliability and maximum of energy recuperation.
Induction e-wheels of our own production provide the highest specific drive torque with power demand less on 30-55% then world analogues for 100km drive range.
Economic expediency:
The technology of induction e-wheels production does not need the difficult materials and components. Absence of expensive torque transfer mechanisms (transmission, reduction units, drive gear) on platform provides low production cost and high reliability of service.
Ecological performance:
Zero emission of e-motors combined with service system, changing and recovery of electric batteries realize the wildest imaginings of the clean air and low price-oriented day-to-day transport use.
I have been following this for awhile and it really looks as if it has and will happen. The little car is ideal for Moscow and similar cities in Russia…
Lets watch and see what is going to be the future of said vehicle…

I think that every American citizen should find the time for a drive, stroll into the local hills with a mug of Russian Tea (in my case a cup of coffee) and sit down in the wildness for a brief period and consider what the place and its inhabitants were like, say, around 1000 A.D., better yet study around 500 A.D. when the barbarians (Germanic people) were in the process of finally putting “Roman Empire” out of its misery…
Then contemplate that the American Empire did not exist… (You know, “1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue!”)
What goes around comes around again and again….contemplate what is happening again!

That looks like Stew?
Ingredients:
600g beef
5 ea medium potatoes
2 ea medium onion
2 tbsp real butter
1 ea carrot
1 ea parsley root
1 ea celery root (not celery, but the root)
2 ea garlic cloves, or three or four 😉
3 tbsp sour cream
4 tbsp chopped green dill and parsley
salt and ground pepper to taste
Method:
Peel potatoes (I like to leave the peelings, but Russians do not,) wash potatoes, cut into small cubes and fry in real butter until light golden brown in color…
Slice onions peeled first and fry in real butter until translucent. Cut carrot into small cubes after peeling and fry in real butter. Cube the beef and fry in real butter until surface is seared to keep in juices…
In a ceramic pots, put beef, potatoes, onion, carrot, roots, garlic, season with salt and pepper and pour over a little broth made from the butter and drippings of all the skillet fried ingredients. Add water (I make a beef broth from a base,) if needed, to make sure enough moisture…
Stew in the oven on low to average heat for 30 minutes to an hour. 10 minutes before pulling the pots, add sour cream. Then after pulling out of oven, sprinkle with chopped greens of dill and parsley…
Serve Zharkoye with a salad of fresh vegetables, cucumbers and tomatoes diced up is perfect….remember that Russians will have a bowl of fresh sour cream sitting at the table to add more to the top of dish as needed. You need that also!

Found a better .apk for tracking my walks. It is much lighter on the battery than Google Fit and or Samsung Health. It is called, “Simply Walking”, that is what I do….simply walk for my diabetes…
Again just walking for my health…
5 miles and looking at new things….one thing I found was new housing within the missile complex…
Brand new and not done yet. One big place and it will hold a bunch of people. Not sure where they will all park? Maybe living on the complex will make that not an issue. Maybe they will remove all the two and four story buildings and rehouse the people living there in the new. Like we did at our place…
Good walk and I enjoyed the fresh air. I walk away from the main drag and try not to get too many breaths of the fumes from trucks and cars…
Have a nice day…
