Simp!Miles Morales x Gn!Reader
“Oh my god you’re clueless.”
Tumblr media
THIS WAS LIKE FIVE MINUTES ADTER MY CALL FOR POST LMFAOOO OKAY BBY I GOT U ‼️
2 + 1 Trope? Got that DOWN baby.
The first time Miles had ever met you, it had been the most bland, unimportant, nothing-burger of a day he’d ever been privy to living.
The weight of his classmates gazes settled uncomfortably, but familiarly, onto his back. The whispers they shared with one another having him strain to hear over the beating of his own finicky heart.
A boring, low effort slide show casted on a lazily erased white board was barely keeping him from falling asleep.
And yet his foot wouldn’t stop tapping, the nerves alighting something within him like sparks near a gas leak. The way his heart was beating wasn’t just from the whispers flown around he knows weren’t about him. (He couldn’t help it, what if they are?)
There was something else, like an anticipation boiling his blood vessels. Spidey-sense through the roof and heart rate accelerating.
He stanced his feet, twisting them slowly to shoot out of his seat when ready, as if a crazed, murderous version of him was going to burst the the door at any moments notice.
The handle twisted, his vision honed in, ears sharp-tuned to every movement the muse terry figure made.
And as the door swung open, the breath he was holding left him. Exasperation and amazement at the person in front of him, the harmless, beauty of a person.
“Ah. Mx.[Last Name], Pleasure of you to join us,” His Teacher snarked, adding a hasty ‘finally’ to the end under his breath.
Miles shot the man a dirty look before focusing back onto you, as seemingly everyone had.
You caught people’s attention from the get-go, aura leaking something trusting, something good. Like out of everyone in the world he could talk to, he knows you’d listen in earnest.
You made eye contact with him, your eyes glistening against the light of the projector, he almost sighed.
You looked away again, addressing your Teacher. “Sorry Sir, I didn’t exactly know where to go.” You politely laughed it off, disrespect to authority wasn’t exactly something you wanted on your track record the moment you got to this place.
“It’s—“ He dragged a hand down his face whilst you shuffled in your spot. “It’s fine. Just go sit next to uh.-“
Miles say up a little straighter, a silent competition with the other people in his class crawling for your attention.
“Miles. Morales raise your hand.”
He felt almost smug as he did Small huffs of disappointment coming from his undeserving peers. You smiled at him, waltzing over with a confidence he could only dream, and sat in the chair beside him. He watched you unpack your stuff as the professor drawled on, and when you caught his watchful eye, you waved.
He blushed. The whispers definitely weren’t about him now.
One.
You were putting you books in your locker when a small tap was placed upon your shoulder.
Catching your attention, you stuffed the remaining books inside carelessly and turned to face the subject of curiosity.
The boy you had sat next to your first date stood shuffling foot to foot before you. Nervously scratching his neck and kicking his Jordans.
“Hey I- Uhh.” He coughed, scared his voice would crack in front of you, he almost cringed at the thought. “I’m Miles-“
“Morales. I remember you.” You smiled sweetly up at him, you did remember him. It was no lie, he was kind of hard to forget. “Oh, you do?”
“I mean, you were the only one in that class willing to sit next to a stranger. And you were pretty nice about it too.”
“Uhuh, yeah, that’s me.” Only one willing? With a person like you showing up? The entire room was glaring at him.
“Thanks for that, by the way.”
You closed your locker and turned back to him.
“Yeah, no problem. It was no big deal, really.” He rushed out, your presence alone making him nervous.
“Anyways I-,” he cleared his throat again. “I was wondering if you’d y’know..” He looked at you through his thick eyelashes, god he was pretty. “I’d…?”
“Wannahangoutsometime.”
You stumped for a moment, trying to figure out what he’d just said before laughing lightly. He swears he saw heaven the second you’d smiled at him.
“Yeah we can hang out, right now actually!”
Grabbing his arm and walking with him as you chatted. His breathing stuttered, unprepared for your misunderstanding of his intentions, but okay with the outcome. Having your arm linked with his, pulling him wherever you wanted to go like some puppy. Giggling and whispering to him something he couldn’t pay attention to over the sweetened sound of your voice. He was pretty damn okay with it.
Two.
It had been around three months since you had met Miles. And although you hated the thought, you only had your mean professor to thank. So, kudos to him.
You were into the boy, no doubt. His charming personality additional to the kind of dorky thing he had going on, you loved it. A month after the initial meeting, he had finally got the courage to ask you to hang out with him. It was probably the most adorable thing you’d ever seen watching him stumble upon his words.
Now you sat with him on the rooftop of his apartment building.
A picnic blanket had been laid for the both of you by Miles himself, and his mother had made snacks.
You had just met his mother, Rio. The sweetest woman you’d probably ever met. And by the way Miles and Rio interacted, you could only think how good of a man he was.
You can always tell the intentions of a man, by his treatment of his mother.
“Your ma is really nice.”
“You think? She’s kinda protective of me.” He turned to look at you through his peripheral, leaving enough space it wasn’t obvious. “I think it’s cute, she cares for you, y’know?” You shifted yourself to face him, the Sundown light glittering against his smooth skin. He looked beautiful here, you thought. He looks beautiful everywhere.
“Yeah, I know.”
“Good, ‘s always good to know you’re loved.”
Miles’ heart stuttered in his chest, sucking in a quick breath and turning himself to face you.
“Mhmm.”
You looked up at him, leaning on your hand, drifting closer to him subconsciously.
He let himself drift as well, your voices quieting without either knowledge.
“Miles?” Your soft words questioned him, doey eyes gazing up at him, heart on your sleeve.
“I wanna—“ His sentence was cut off, a blaring siren sounding in his head, nerves.
“I think I might..—“
He huffed, mad at himself for being unable to speak.
“Do you want- Holy shit.”
You laughed, leaning back, a genuine glee in your eye.
“Do I want holy shit?-“ You giggled, he felt his heart flutter along with his disappointment (once more).
“-Not really, no.” You kept giggling, the serenity of your moment with Miles and his fumbling an apparent treat to you. He buried his face in his hands and groaned loudly. Only furthering your hysteria, “Leave me alone.” He dragged the ‘lone’ dramatically before flopping back against the blankets. Huffing and staring up at you from his spot. The smile on your face was a quick fix for his soured mood, not that it was that sour in the first place. But knowing a moment of undeniable spark like that, had you smiling and giggling after, even if it led to nothing. Had his hopes and his pulse rate rising.
Miles was head over heels for you. He was smitten, a total and complete dog for your affection. Sitting at home sulking when you weren’t there to hang out with him. Making you add his steam solely so he can play games with you.
A puppy of a man, god he wasn’t even ashamed.
“Dude, you just need’a ask ‘em out already.” Hobie served no help to his ever growing dilemma with you, but did serve to humiliate his seemingly non-existed romantic experience. “I’m *trying, man. They just keeps misunderstanding.” “Are they taking the hint?” “What hint?” He looked up from his slouched spot in his gaming chair. Spinning the thing in circles idly. “You haven’t given ‘em a hint?” Hobie blanched at Miles, like it was some obvious mistake.
“What. Hint.”
“Oh my god, Miles.”
He still didn’t get it, Hobie had explained his way of ‘hinting’ to someone he liked them. Through slight touches and subtle looks, a wink here and there. But not a cringey wink (Miles would argue they’re all cringey.), the ones where you feel like you’re part of a secret. This would be helpful to him, sure. If had hadn’t done everything with you already, except the winking, that is.
He did touch you, he did catch your eye when everyone else around looked away. He kissed your forehead and held your hand. You seemed borderline allergic to walking without you arm linked through his. All of there’s things that Hobie said were couple things, he’d already nailed. So why couldn’t you just.. date each other?
“I don’t know, it’s not like that.”
“But it is,” Hobie pointed to the centre of Mile’s’ forehead and flicked. “You guys are quite literally already dating.” “No, not really?”
“Oh my god you’re clueless.”
Hobie sighed, jumping off the bed and stretching his arms above his head. Miles grumbling a pouted ‘am not..’, Hobie settled him a look, taking a deep breath and continuing.
“Miles, mate, You both go to each other for comfort. You cry to each other, you find solace in one another. You touch and cuddle and sleep in the same bed.” He took another breath, seemingly needing a lot, “The only things you’re missing, are kissing each other for real. And calling each other your partners.”
“And if they end up saying no?”
“Then i’ll smash my guitar.”
Miles paused, considering the severity.
“Okay, okay i’ll do it.”
“Thank fuck.”—
+one
Miles had spent the better of an entire afternoon hyping himself up (and subsequently psyching himself out), before he finally had managed to make it your door and knock.
He was beyond nervous, the jitters in his bones crawling under his skin like spiders. Worse than normal, he observed.
A shuffle from inside your apartment had brought him back down to Earth. Everything suddenly becoming very real to him as you opened the door grumpily.
“Oh i’m sorry, did I wake you?”
“Oh, Miles!” Your pout had almost instantly been lifted, a smile grazing your face sleepily, it was so late, he shouldn’t have come.
“I’m so sorry- It’s late. I should—“
“No!”
“No?”
It was your turn to get bashful, twisting the hem of your shirt in your hands nervously. “Stay Miles.”
He softened, posture relaxing at your tone.
“Don’t want you running away again.”
That caught his attention. “Wha-“ “I was wondering when you’d finally show up outta’ the blue.” You glanced down to his lips then back. The amber in his eyes haunting your dreams, in such a welcomed way.
Miles couldn’t take it, with the way you spoke, so soft and fragile. To the things you were saying, confident and headstrong. He couldn’t fucking take it.
His hands shot up to your face, caressing the curves of your cheeks and slope of your jaw. The trails of hair behind your ears his fingers just grazed. He brought himself down to your height once more, standing on your porch step. Like some sappy rom-com.
“Tell me to stop.” He was near breathless. You didn’t, you didn’t say a thing. You simply carded your deft hands over thick curls, and pulled him down to meet you. His eyes fluttered closed and lips met yours. He felt like crying.
Like after the months of pining for you. For trying and trying for your love, for your affection, that everything in his life had only ever led to this one point. And everything farther was his happy ending. The spiders under his skin stopped crawling, settling into the crooks of his bones and finding home. He wasn’t shaking. He was still.
And as you pulled away to breathe, ogling up at him with nothing but love to give he smiled and laughed just like you did.
ITS FUCKING 3 AM I GENUINELY HAVENT SLEPT THIS IS SO CUTE

Crime and Punishment and media literacy
Jordan Peterdon claims his favourite book is Dostojevskij's Crime and Punishment, and claims he likes it because "it is why atheism does not work".
Because Raskolnikov, a good man in a bad situation, after spending the first act on thinking if he should kill a horrible landlady to save a family, goes on with the murder, then spends the rest of the book battling his conscience, morals and trying to justify his actions, also expecting punishment for his crimes.
Let me adapt Crime and Punishment to the 21st century for a moment. Obviously not perfect, because 18th century Russia and 21st Century USA are different socially.
John Raskov, a citizen of the US, lives in a New York suburb. He loves Anna, but Anna and her family live in a 20 square meter apartment that leaks gas every Thursday. They can not afford food at every few months because the landlady there demands random rent every week, spends her time drinking and always walks around with a loaded gun when she demands the rent. John sees her shoot into the floor next to a crib one time, and so he spends half the day wondering what to do. He figures that she is a "bad guy with a gun", and to stop her, he needs to be "a good guy with a gun".
So Raskov goes, buys a gun and shoots her.
This is the first 30 minutes of the movie. The remaining 60 minutes is John in agony over the murder, nightmares, horror scenes, seeing the blood, turning him from "a good guy with a gun" into a murderer. He expects the cops at any minute to shoot him, he considers hanging himself, he considers himself scum. We deconstruct the entire idea, we examine the criminal system, we examine how John may be an unreliable narrator, a villain, or a hero, how the US laws don't protect the family but him, John Raskov, a cis-het white dude with lower-middle class income, can get away with it, how he legally cozld get the weapon, how society is often lauding people like him as heroes, paint gun violence as a heroic deed and vigilante justice as an American solution, how a "good guy with a guy" and "murderer" differ. We tear apart the very movie itself to see John in the middle, as a pathetic, self-hating man who thought one murder can fix the world.
Credits at him walking to the door.
Peterson and friends would probably not understand why John spends more than 2/3 of the movie agonising and having this self-imposed trial, why it is so long and detailed, why are all the action is just until the only shot in the movie. They would claim this is where atheism leads, even if John himself is shown to be a Christian and uses a Bible verse as part of his justifications, after all, at the rivers of Babylon, we all wept of joy, etc etc.
My guess is because they lack the media literacy to understand Crime and Punishment. The plot is relatively simple, the point is to deconstruct not just Raskolnikov, but the system that produces Raskolnikov and the landlady and the way he almost gets away with a crime he never wanted to commit but seen no other solution, because the law was not permitting anything else but breaking it.

28 June 2022: King Abdullah II chaired a meeting at the National Centre for Security and Crisis Management to check on the latest developments of Monday’s gas leak incident in Aqaba.
At the meeting, attended by Crown Prince Hussein via telepresence from Aqaba, he extended condolences to the families of those who died in the line of duty, wishing the injured a speedy recovery.
His Majesty, who has been following up with the Crown Prince on the details of the incident and rescue and evacuation efforts from the very beginning, stressed the need to provide transparent explanations to the public after investigations conclude, as well as identifying shortcomings and holding those responsible to account by law. (Source: Petra)
The King called for taking the necessary precautions to avoid a repeat of such incidents in the future.
His Majesty commended the efforts of Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army and security agencies’ personnel, especially the Civil Defence Department and civilian and military medical staff, for their swift response and high professionalism in dealing with the incident and evacuating the injured.
These efforts have contributed to saving lives and limiting losses, the King said, wishing a speedy recovery to those injured in the field while on duty.
Also at the meeting, the Crown Prince spoke about his field inspection on Tuesday at the site of the incident, and his visit to the injured who have been hospitalised.
His Royal Highness commended the swift response of all the concerned agencies, noting that the situation at the site of the incident and in Aqaba is under control and back to normal.
The Crown Prince reiterated the need to maintain cooperation and coordination among all the concerned entities, as all await the investigation’s findings.
For his part, Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh gave an overview of the incident and the measures taken to contain its impact, noting that a team, headed by the interior minister was formed to investigate.
The prime minister said life is back to normal in Aqaba after the authorities reaffirmed air and seawater safety.

Robert Gates (Obama's defense secretary) "Vice President Joe Biden has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."
This week, USA governors are stockpiling abortion pills to take lives, but when physicians (working to save lives) stockpiled hydcq in an AZ warehouse to prepare for the scamdemic, they were denied access by Birks & Fauci.
Everything these corrupt DAs/AGs accuse DJT of they are guilty of:
Election Interference- timing of indictments
Fiscal Mismanagement-Taxpayer funds
Mismanagement of Confidential/classified information-leaking to NYTWe need a miracle to fall in NY and then a domino effect from there to ga, fl, dc...anyone that targets the American people throught DJT needs to be exposed , disbarred, fined and in some cases jailed. Let the nets they set to trap others be the taps that ensnare them.I appreciate Kennedy's ability to add humor to serious conversations. Bragg is a big coward.
How can Pomerantz write a book, chat it up on a book tour but refuse to chat with Congress?
What an abuse of power by a DA!! Disgusting.Sure she cried for 30 minutes. When? They had a celebration before boarding Airforce 1 and then they flew to California en route to play on one of Richard Branson's islands. Also they left the private residence a mess, allegedly.Michelle Obama truly believes that any criticism of her is rooted in bigotry, yet she is allowed to lie & criticize others bc she has more melanin.

I'm American but for what it's worth, I agree. I question how a person can be king without courage. How can anyone respect the head of an organization or country who exempts family or friend from the consequences of their bad behavior. Charles appears to be weak and easy to blackmail which is exactly what Meghan has in mind.

The Manhattan district attorney on Tuesday sued Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio in an extraordinary step intended to keep congressional Republicans from interfering in the office’s criminal case against former President Donald J. Trump.
The 50-page suit, filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York, accuses Mr. Jordan of a “brazen and unconstitutional attack” on the prosecution of Mr. Trump and a “transparent campaign to intimidate and attack” the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg. Mr. Bragg last week unveiled 34 felony charges against Mr. Trump that stem from the former president’s attempts to cover up a potential sex scandal during and after the 2016 presidential campaign.
Lawyers for Mr. Bragg are seeking to bar Mr. Jordan and his congressional allies from enforcing a subpoena sent to Mark F. Pomerantz, who was once a leader of the district attorney’s Trump investigation and who later wrote a book about that experience. Mr. Pomerantz resigned early last year after Mr. Bragg, just weeks into his first term in office, decided not to seek an indictment of Trump at that time.
Mr. Bragg’s lawyers, including Theodore J. Boutrous Jr. of the law firm Gibson Dunn and Leslie B. Dubeck, the general counsel in the district attorney’s office, also intend to prevent any other such subpoenas, the lawsuit says. Mr. Jordan has left open the possibility of subpoenaing Mr. Bragg.
“Rather than allowing the criminal process to proceed in the ordinary course, Chairman Jordan and the committee are participating in a campaign of intimidation, retaliation and obstruction,” the suit said, adding that the district attorney’s office had received more than 1,000 calls and emails from Mr. Trump’s supporters — many of them “threatening and racially charged” — since the former president predicted his own arrest last month.
Mr. Jordan responded in a statement on Twitter.
“First, they indict a president for no crime,” he wrote. “Then, they sue to block congressional oversight when we ask questions about the federal funds they say they used to do it.”

Last month, Mr. Jordan, in his role as the House Judiciary Committee chairman, sent letters with two Republican colleagues that demanded the district attorney’s office provide communications, documents and testimony about Mr. Bragg’s investigation of Mr. Trump. In the letters, the Republican congressmen defended their right to conduct oversight of the case.
And after Mr. Bragg’s prosecutors unveiled the charges against Mr. Trump last week, Mr. Jordan issued the subpoena to Mr. Pomerantz, seeking to compel a closed-door deposition.
In response to the letters’ focus on federal funds, the district attorney’s office said that it had spent about $5,000 worth of federal money on investigations into Mr. Trump and his company between October 2019 and August 2021, most of it on litigation related to a court battle with Mr. Trump over access to his tax returns.
In a statement on Tuesday, Mr. Bragg said that the subpoena to Mr. Pomerantz was “an unconstitutional attempt to undermine an ongoing New York felony criminal prosecution and investigation.” Mr. Boutrous, in his own statement, said that the suit aimed “to protect local law enforcement and state court criminal proceedings in this country against impermissible intrusions from the federal government.”
Mr. Pomerantz is also named as a defendant in the suit, though that appears to be a formality. By naming him, Mr. Bragg’s lawyers are seeking to block Mr. Pomerantz from testifying if he was legally compelled to do so. Mr. Pomerantz has shown no indication that he is willing to testify voluntarily. He declined to comment on Tuesday.

In his book, published earlier this year, Mr. Pomerantz described his view of Mr. Trump’s actions as plainly criminal, as well as his frustrations with Mr. Bragg when he took office in 2022 and did not charge Mr. Trump. That decision led Mr. Pomerantz and another of the investigation’s leaders, Carey Dunne, to resign.
Mr. Pomerantz and Mr. Dunne — holdovers from the prior district attorney’s administration — were primarily focused on whether Mr. Trump had fraudulently inflated the value of his assets, but Mr. Bragg was not confident in their case.
After they left, he and his aides returned to the hush-money payment made during the final days of the 2016 campaign to a porn star, Stormy Daniels — conduct that Mr. Pomerantz and Mr. Dunne had investigated but decided not to place at the center of a criminal case against the former president.
Mr. Bragg impaneled a grand jury to hear evidence about Mr. Trump’s role in the hush money in January. The jurors voted to indict Mr. Trump late last month.
Last month, Mr. Trump announced on his social media website, Truth Social, that he was going to be arrested three days later. The claim was false — no indictment had been voted on at the time — but it set in motion extensive defenses of Mr. Trump by allies in the Republican-led Congress, who vowed to investigate the district attorney. Along with the letters to Mr. Bragg’s office, Mr. Jordan and two other Republican committee chairmen sent letters to Mr. Pomerantz and Mr. Dunne demanding documents and testimony related to the case.
Mr. Jordan’s committee on Monday announced its plans for the “field hearing” in New York City on April 17. It is apparently intended to suggest that Mr. Bragg has focused on the prosecution of Mr. Trump rather than Manhattan’s crime rate.
On Monday afternoon, a spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office characterized the hearing as a “political stunt” and pointed toward Police Department data that shows murders, shootings and burglaries are down in Manhattan this year.

The Indictment of Donald Trump in New York
The former president was accused by Manhattan prosecutors of orchestrating a hush-money scheme to pave his path to the presidency and then covering it up.
From President to Defendant: Donald Trump’s arraignment on April 4 kicked off a volatile new phase of his post-presidential life, setting up a split-screen battle on the campaign trail and in the courtroom.
A Dilemma for the Judge: Justice Juan Merchan, who will preside over the case, has the rare power to constrain the former president’s speech. The question will be whether and how to use it.
Trump’s Strategy: As the lines blur between his legal defense and his 2024 campaign, Trump is betting that he will be able to generate enthusiasm among his supporters by painting himself as a victim of Democratic persecution.
House Panel’s Hearing: The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee said that it would hold a hearing on what it called the “pro-crime” policies of Alvin Bragg, the district attorney who is leading the criminal prosecution of Trump. The move was the latest attempt by the former president’s defenders to try to tarnish the case.
Next Legal Threat: Strip away the high drama, and the charges against Trump are relatively modest in scope. Another criminal investigation of the former president that is nearing completion in Georgia could be more far-reaching.

Ohio
I am up thinking about the overreach of government and what is happening in Ohio. Ohio is Insurrectionist Central. Many of the people who forced their way into the Capital were trained by the NRA in our backwoods near Ashtabula and listen to radio broadcaster conspiracy theorists. It is “Gym” Jordan land where sexual abuse of women is a man’s right. It is where Tr-mp hides amongst far right Christian theologians and imports the best looking from Palm Beach.
Ohio traffics people to include youth in the child welfare system and poor elderly who are forced into low wage workforce pool as are prisoners. Recently Tik Tok raised funds for a Walmart employee on oxygen and Tik Tok is on the government chopping block because the Chinese spy on Americans, even as it has been found that Tr-mp has Chinese bank accounts and a Chinese electronics company from Wuhan sits in Lordstown as America’s Chevy gets the boot. Again Republican project whatever they fear! It uses a paranoid prison model on law abiding citizens in hospitals, “You will leave when I tell you to leave” after having been admitted to St E’s hospital after being thrown onto a hard tiled floor to lose my right leg to a partial hip replacement, a victim of a gas pipeline leak or as I was told by a gas employee, a possible bomb. My town is Black. We in the zip code are presumed to be guilty from the get-go. This stems from the history of slavery, an internalized system of owners and owned. There is no free will in Ohio. It is God or the devil heroin.
Ohio needs systemic change. It needs to live elsewhere for a while, see how the other half lives and not deSantis copycat Florida. It needs to respect the Federal government and whatever help it gets from it instead of using Federal funds in whatever way it chooses, passed behind backs to the Energy secto in Michael Jackson’s music video’s seedy back rooms. “Can you hear me”?!
I came “home” to northeastern Ohio to find it deteriorated. My old sorority building dark, dank from flooding , memories of sexual abuse by frat boys behind locked doors and alcohol. A maintenence man tried to rent it to me as he showed foreign students well kept Victorian suites as I watched well aware of young male status in Ohio. Once grand homes formerly used by steel barons and friends of the Audubons lay in waste. Country cars and trucks park on lawns now owned by the invasion of groundhogs and yes Nutria imported from Florida I’ve been told. 200 year old Oaks fall quietly into cars and home windows.

Suction Diffuser Valve in Oman
Middleeast valve is the topmost and reputed Suction diffuser valve in Oman. It supplies valves in Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon and Oman. We supply cost-effective valves without compromising on quality. We devote more time and resources to our suction diffuser valves to ensure that they can withstand extreme conditions.
A suction diffuser is a combination elbow, reducer, strainer, and straightening vane that works to maximize flow efficiency at the pump's suction inlet while reducing space and fitting requirements. Furthermore, they remove large particulates from water and process liquids to protect pumps and other system components. Suction diffusers are used in commercial and industrial applications.
Tumblr media
Advantages of Suction diffuser:
Mounting directly to the inlet side of the pump saves space and eliminates the need for additional connection points.
The integral strainer prevents unwanted material from entering the pump inlet.
Straightening the vanes on the suction diffuser's outlet side reduces turbulence in the flow entering the pump.
Installation time and cost is reduced.
Industries which use suction diffuser:
Process Industry
Metal and Mining Industry
Power Industry
Water and Waste Industry
Chemical Industry
Pulp and Paper Industry
Oil and Gas Industry
Description:
Material: Cast Iron, WCB, Ductile Iron
End connection: Flanged
Size: 2 Inch- 48 Inch
Class: 150
CRYOGENIC VALVE SUPPLIER UAE
Middleeast valve is one of the known Cryogenic valve supplier UAE. It provides industrial valves to Yemen, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Turkey. Use of cryogenic valves is intended for extremely chilly conditions. As a result, they are most used by businesses that work with Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) or Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) (CNG). The oil and gas industry, for example, frequently uses cryogenic temperature ranges beginning at -238 degrees Fahrenheit (-150 degrees Celsius). Some gases are labelled 'cryogenic' not because of their temperature, but because compressing their volume requires more than a simple pressure increase. Cryogenic valves are made to make the transportation and storage of cryogenic gases safe and effective.  
To maintain the security and safety of cryogenic gases or other media, cryogenic valves are typically closed. An ordinary cryogenic valve is made to respond to high pressure by opening, enabling gas or other media to pass freely. This open flow will continue until the pressure drops again, at which point it will swing back and seal with a special metal seat bubble-tight shutoff to prevent leaking.
In plumbing and pipeline systems that handle liquid hydrogen, oxygen, helium, nitrogen, liquefied natural gas, or similar extremely cold fluids, cryogenic valves are necessary.
Types of Cryogenic valves:
Cryogenic Ball valve
Cryogenic Gate valve
Cryogenic Globe valve
Cryogenic Butterfly valve
Cryogenic Check valve
Industries which use Cryogenic valves:
Oil & Gas Industry
LNG liquefaction plants
LNG terminals
LNG transportation systems
Air separation plants
Steel production plants
Research laboratories
Chemical and petrochemical Industry
Aerospace storage facilities
Description:
Available materials: SS304, SS316, CF8M, CF8, F51, F55, F53, WCB, WC6, WCC, LCB, LCC
Class: 150 to 800

Update 59 - China Calls Multilateral Meeting with GCC Members
30 March 2015 
In response to the ongoing intervention, China is holding an ad-hoc multilateral talks with some of the GCC members, most notably Sudan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and Morocco. 
Within the talks, China proclaimed that they’re open to the idea of creating shared funds with the initial $1 Billion donation and $12 Billion loan with 1% interest, with a planned $1 Billion investment to the Arab World. Lastly, China also offers to reduce tariffs on oil exports to China from GCC countries. 
The funds and reduction in tariffs can only occur if the countries that want to join explicitly state that they are "Not in support or join foreign military interventions in domestic conflicts"
Diplomats from Arab countries leaked an interesting incident during the informal session, where the Chinese representative suggested that China will divert imports of Chinese oil, fuel, natural gas, machinery, raw materials, and food to other countries. Furthermore, the representative has also been noted to say that “Chinese companies may go somewhere else rather than the Arab World”
