Is This Planet Protected?

1,034,914 Comments

The new season of Doctor Who began today with a very triumphant debut of the Eleventh Doctor. There is a definite shift in tone from the previous series (or non-series as it was), and I think this is exactly the episode to reset with. The introduction of Amy Pond was the best companion beginning yet, and I already love her. The rest of the plot didn’t really blow my mind, but the nod to the previous Doctors was glorious and brought out an actual cheer. I think Eleven is a very capable incarnation and I look forward to seeing him in action week after week.

I’m already re-watching because I let a lot of information slip past me the first time. I also want to compile a list of “clues” to watch for as the series progresses because I think there will be quite the payoff with this writing team. For instance, there is a blue lens flare that lingers for a considerable amount of time when there is no known source of light for that scene. Hmmmm. I’m also curious about the possible significance of the “Myth” laptop. Each of those things may be inconsequential, of course, or they could be related to the coming Silence. Who knows?

Who knows, indeed!! *ahem*

    LUXEMBOURG, Oct 7 (Reuters) – Germany’s economic model is not broken but
    Europe’s biggest economy has lost competitiveness over the
    past decade, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Monday.

    “We can’t be satisfied with the economic developments in Germany,” he told journalists ahead of a Eurogroup meeting.

    The German economy is expected to contract by 0.2% in 2024, an economy
    ministry spokesperson said on Monday, cutting the
    forecast from a previous projection of 0.3% growth this year.

    If realised, this would be the second consecutive year
    of contraction for Germany’s economy, which was the weakest
    among its large euro zone peers last year with a
    0.3% decline in gross domestic product.

    Lindner said the government was introducing supply-side measures to try to return the economy to growth.

    “After these reforms, Germany will have more competitiveness again,” Lindner said, adding
    that the growth initiative was just a first step for an economic turnaround, “but we have to build on it.”

    AMBITION NEEDED

    Lindner said “ambition” was needed to keep EU public finances in order, or to put them back in order where necessary.

    “I can only encourage everyone to implement structural reforms and to make unpopular decisions,” Lindner said.

    “What seems to be unpopular at the moment is the willingness to take responsibility for the next generation and for the stability of the European Union as a whole.”

    Lindner said he could not comment on the French budget plans because
    he had not had the chance to talk with his French colleagues yet, but he would do so
    on Monday evening.

    “We should all realise that the credibility of public finances vis-à-vis the capital markets is not to be trifled with,” Lindner said.

    “We must credibly reduce our deficits and our debt so that we can continue to finance ourselves well and in a stable manner.”

  7. Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog.

    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that
    “perfect balance” between usability and appearance. I
    must say you’ve done a amazing job with this.

    Additionally, the blog loads very quick for me on Internet explorer.
    Outstanding Blog!

    —
    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the White House on Thursday could be his final chance to convince a receptive American president of his country’s war aims.
    [url=https://megaweb-7.com]megaweb com[/url]
    The precise details of the “victory plan” Zelensky plans to present in separate meetings to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are unknown, having been closely held until they are presented to the American leaders.

    But according to people briefed on its broad contours, the plan reflects the Ukrainian leader’s urgent appeals for more immediate help countering Russia’s invasion. Zelensky is also poised to push for long-term security guarantees that could withstand changes in American leadership ahead of what is widely expected to be a close presidential election between Harris and former President Donald Trump.

    The plan, people familiar with it said, acts as Zelensky’s response to growing war weariness even among his staunchest of western allies. It will make the case that Ukraine can still win — and does not need to cede Russian-seized territory for the fighting to end — if enough assistance is rushed in.

    That includes again asking permission to fire Western provided long-range weapons deeper into Russian territory, a line Biden once was loathe to cross but which he’s recently appeared more open to as he has come under growing pressure to relent.

    Even if Biden decides to allow the long-range fires, it’s unclear whether the change in policy would be announced publicly.

    Biden is usually apt to take his time making decisions about providing Ukraine new capabilities. But with November’s election potentially portending a major change in American approach to the war if Trump were to win, Ukrainian officials — and many American ones — believe there is little time to waste.

    Trump has claimed he will be able to “settle” the war upon taking office and has suggested he’ll end US support for Kyiv’s war effort.

    “Those cities are gone, they’re gone, and we continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refused to make a deal, Zelensky. There was no deal that he could have made that wouldn’t have been better than the situation you have right now. You have a country that has been obliterated, not possible to be rebuilt,” Trump said during a campaign speech in Mint Hill, North Carolina, on Wednesday.

    Comments like those have lent new weight to Thursday’s Oval Office talks, according to American and European officials, who have described an imperative to surge assistance to Ukraine while Biden is still in office.

    As part of Zelensky’s visit, the US is expected to announce a major new security package, thought it will likely delay the shipping of the equipment due to inventory shortages, CNN previously reported according to two US officials. On Wednesday, the US announced a package of $375 million.

    The president previewed Zelensky’s visit to the White House a day beforehand, declaring on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly his administration was “determined to ensure that Ukraine has what it needs to prevail in fight for survival.”

    “Tomorrow, I will announce a series of actions to accelerate support for Ukraine’s military – but we know Ukraine’s future victory is about more than what happens on the battlefield, it’s also about what Ukrainians do make the most of a free and independent future, which so many have sacrificed so much for,” he said.
