Recently, my fridge started beeping at me. This was because I had left the door open, and it was being friendly and reminding me to close that door, or it wouldn’t work properly anymore. Now, this sort of friendliness is surprising to me, not least because the house I’m squatting in after my landlord’s unfortunate (and I assure you, accidental) high-speed public dismemberment does not currently have electrical service.

Or so I thought. It seemed that, while I was sleeping, some greenwashers had arrived and retrofitted some government-subsidized solar panels into the house. With a zeal only witnessed in those unlucky workers who are getting paid by the job, they plowed through the pile of broken car parts and miscellaneous electronic trash in the basement to hook up the panel and drop off a massive battery. As a result, my house was now officially “off the grid.”

Now, in my municipality, it’s illegal to be off the grid. Even if you make electricity purely from the power of the sun or your own man-portable nuclear reactor, you have to at least vig up to the local power company between fifty and two hundred dollars a month. It seemed that I had located a loophole in their rules, however, and now could enjoy opulent comfort such as “refrigerated food” and “lights” without any guilt or cost out of my pocket.

A true dream, and it was all thanks to some computer system, deep within the bureaucracy, that hadn’t yet figured out my landlord is no longer of this earth and that the home should rightly have been condemned. Of course, those proud city workers had missed me during their “random inspections,” because my sleeping position is so covered in trash as to serve a sort of suburban camouflage. They might have left with some of my cars, it is impossible to tell, but that’s a small price to pay for unlimited guilt-free electricity use.

Of course, it was not to last. As soon as the power came back on, prowling gangs of realtors began to notice that the house was inhabitable again, and aggressively approached in order to make offers for the land value. I couldn’t exactly fend them off, not without exiting the house and giving away my squatter-status, so instead I just turned off all the lights and hid in the darkness. It’s not so bad. Now I can finally charge my phone without having to sneak down to the convenience store and unplug their coffee maker when they’re not looking.

I completely agree that Miles Upshore is queer, and Waylon is on the spectrum as well! If you have your friends analysis still plzzzzz link! I crave the content!!!

HI HI THANK YOU FOR THE ASK! 💜

I wish I had his analysis still!!! aarrrrgh it's been so long ;-; But I can try to relay some of the points he made (and add some of my own)!

This gets pretty lengthy so be prepared :')

I also added external links but they’re only there if you want to read more about the point I’m making! Feel free to skip them!

also // TW for mentions of SA

Miles

Story-wise, my friend found it interesting that Miles was the perfect host for the Walrider. Wernicke and Alan Turing were friends/lovers who worked on the technology that culminated into Project Walrider, so there's already a sense that the Walrider was founded on Wernicke and Turing's love for each other.

So, before I move on, I'll talk a bit about Alan Turing. In college, I had professors praise him for being the “Founder of Modern Computing”, cracking Nazi code, and also for being an advocate for gay rights.

More details here:

Out of every prominent scientist during the Cold War Era, Alan Turing was selected to play a role in Outlast's stories. And he didn't just happen to be openly gay—JT Petty purposefully made this significant to Wernicke's character. Not to mention, Wernicke made allusions to Frankenstein, allowing us to inspect the parallels between Wernicke & the Walrider with Frankenstein & Frankenstein's monster. When it comes to gothic & queer literature, Frankenstein is on the forefront of it, and I'm confident that JT Petty would be familiar with that (since he's a writer who's well-versed in horror/gothic art).

With Frankenstein, there's this idea to create life without heterosexual means (under the impression of cis-heteronormativity). Frankenstein's monster was also a sexualized creature—supposedly a representation of the “ideal man”—described as “beautiful”. Additionally, the novel was a critique of patriarchal norms through elements of sexualities. These aren't too different from Wernicke & the Walrider. The Walrider is arguably created through homosexual means in its abstract (Wernicke & Turing). This particular version of the Walrider that possesses Billy & Miles is stated to be the “masterpiece” by Simon Peacock—its appearance is also fairly sexual. And similarly, Outlast critiques patriarchal norms through its grotesque visuals of “masculinity”.

Frankenstein queer analysis:

Frankenstein sexual suppression analysis:

With all these story elements, there's certainly a queerness about the Walrider AND Outlast, which the devs openly embrace.

There's also many parallels between Frankenstein's monster and Miles. In the United States (and westernized countries in general), there are societal standards that function around cis-heteronormativity. Think of the traditional American nuclear family: A husband/father who's the breadwinner and patriarch, a loving wife/mother who cooks and stays at home to take care of the kids—they're mostly white, Christian, and American citizens. [WARNING: TRIALS SPOILERS AHEAD] The ideal American man is further illustrated in Officer Coyle's dialogue: “If only they were upstanding citizens like myself. Pay your taxes, do your job, fuck your wife, put a little something in the plate at service. America don't ask much.” Miles is arguably the antithesis of this, which is likely the reason he doesn't have any close friends/family—he was likely rejected by society. Frankenstein's monster follows a similar arc: he is also rejected by society and seeks refuge in seclusion. (The concept of “rejection by society” is inherent in queerness.)

With these parallels, it makes sense for Miles to be the ideal host for the Walrider. Additionally, Miles embodies queerness that isn't strictly homosexual—I mean his whole background/lifestyle is already, by definition, “queer”—but questions regarding his sexuality arise when inspecting other details of his character.

My friend pointed out the whole “Manhandler Hairspray for the Active Man” detail in Miles' apartment. There are a lot of homosexual undertones in the label, and it's hard not to think otherwise. “Manhandler” and “Active” are terms which indicate the “top” role in gay culture. I mean, it's possible that Miles is just embodying the “metrosexual” identity (basically straight men who embody characteristics associated with homosexuality) but metrosexuality is rooted in consumerism, which doesn't exactly align with Miles' character since he is openly critical of capitalism. I think the hairspray hints at queerness (or at least gender non-conformity).

Article on “metrosexuality”:

https://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/22/style/metrosexuals-come-out.html

The most revolutionary detail that my friend pointed out was the fact that Miles went out of his way to roast the ever-living shit out of everyone he came across at Mount Massive, begging the question: why is he so fixated on the appearances of other men? This could stem from his own insecurities of being rejected by society or insecurities of his own vanity (considering the hairspray he uses and the fact that he goes jogging…and if he's just trying to be healthy through exercise then he needs to explain his self-destructive alcoholism…idk…jogging for mental health? It’s open to interpretation…WAIT I mean he could just be keep up his physical fitness also with all the investigating he has to do anyways fjshshkdhd). It was just interesting that Miles was so fixated on physical appearances that it makes me wonder if he'd make similar comments about women—I don't believe he would and I'll explain below.

I know that we need to take Red Barrels' tweets with a grain of salt—they're known for deleting tweets that detail misinformation about the protagonists—but I find this tweet particularly interesting. I may be looking too much into it, especially since it's just a tweet and not presented in the games/comics, but it certainly is reflective of Red Barrels' values of respecting women and not viewing women as sexual objects, along with the notion of dismantling cis-heteropatriarchy/chivalry. It certainly doesn't mean he's not straight, but he doesn't particularly view women as sexual objects either (and I know that straight men are capable of not viewing women as sexual objects). Food for thought.

Some extra stuff:

Anti-conservatism and punk ideology (which Miles explicitly embodies) are pillars of queer culture in the political sphere.

The Germanic folklore, which the Walrider is based off of, exhibits notions of sexuality (though, probably not in the best light).

[TRIALS SPOILER] Wernicke’s dream therapy is associated with Dr. Easterman’s queerness—Easterman would be distracted by Wernicke’s handsomeness (and they both explicitly critique heterosexual relationships). Again, this supports the Walrider’s themes of sexuality.

Waylon

As for WAYLON, even though there isn't concrete evidence in the games to intentionally indicate queerness, that isn't to say he is entirely heterosexual (because assuming he's heterosexual is yet another product of the “ideal American man” image in a cis-heteronormative society, and Outlast's narratives are about dismantling this notion). In fact, now that you bring it up, I agree that Waylon can be considered on the queer spectrum/under the queer umbrella.

Regarding the “dismantling the ideal American man in a cis-heteronormative society” concept…the devs, artists, writer(s), actors, and contributors to the games' development are not only open/accepting of things outside of society's norms/expectations, but many are social activists. Chimwemwe Miller (VA for Chris Walker) is outspoken about being Black, Black history, and racism—he also narrated an audiobook which discussed racism, colonialism, & imperialism. Erika Rosenbaum (VA for Lynn Langermann) organized provisions for refugees and is active in environmental causes and feminism—she also spoke out during the #MeToo movement. Shawn Baichoo (VA for Miles, Waylon, & Blake) is also vocal about feminism/racism and was a huge advocate for his character Wrench's bisexuality from Watch Dogs 2, which became confirmed in a later installment of the Watch Dogs franchise.

I bring this up because Red Barrels actually entertains the idea of Waylon x Eddie (in the hypothetical that Eddie wasn't an antagonist like he was in the game…so like, erasing his problematic features baha…this deserves an analysis of its own) without mentioning sexuality or anything like that. Obviously, this can be seen as a way to entertain the fanbase, but I think it's worth mentioning that Waylon isn't opposed to homosexuality. After all, Waylon never makes homophobic remarks in his notes nor comments on male sexuality—he's just fearful of being assaulted (as anyone would be, regardless of gender/sexuality). He would, in fact, engage in a homosexual relationship according to this hypothetical.

(Note: the term “insane” is a harmful descriptor in this context, which is why I wrote “wasn’t an antagonist like he was in the game”)

So yea! I definitely think there's queerness with Waylon's character. And I don't exactly mean this to be “representation” because there's a lot of responsibility that comes with that, but ultimately I think it adds to what the franchise and the devs are trying to do—normalize queerness and dismantle the notion of the “ideal American man in a cis-heteronormative society” (and if you've studied socioeconomics/social theory, you know that this notion is a product of capitalism, which is another important theme in the franchise).

Here are some resources about the intersectionalities of cis-heteropatriarchy, capitalism, & queerness if you'd like to read more about it :)

(this one below is quite lengthy, but goes VERY DEEP)

All in all, my interpretation is that the franchise operates on the idea that “queerness” is normal or innate, but social structures are what label it otherwise. I've seen a lot of discussion surrounding Outlast characters' queerness, and it's interesting to me that the antagonists' sexualities get more attention amongst casual players than the protagonists' sexualities (and I think I can understand why, it's just a lot to unpack).

Just as many of the antagonists can be read as queer, the protagonists should arguably be read through the same lens. I truly do think Miles and Waylon (and even Lynn and Blake!) deserve to be inspected under queer lens. Doing so aligns with the franchise's philosophy/narratives. Also the idea of “queer characters taking down capitalism” is super empowering (and actually very identifiable hehe).

(Sorry, I think I projected a lot of my own personal values and biases into this post LOL hhhjdsfh feel free to critique anything I've written!)

This is my first time inspecting Waylon through a queer lens, so thank you for the ask!! I had a lot of fun writing this up :D

IMAGES: Russia resumes production of modernized Tu-160 bombers

Russia plans to eventually buy 50 new Tu-160M and modernize 15 existing Tu-160.

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 02/22/2024 - 08:17 in Military

Russia restarted the production of the Tupolev-160 strategic bombers, known as Blackjack, with the announcement coming from Sergey Chemezov, CEO of the state company Rostec.

"Restarting the production of the Tu-160 was quite a task for all Rostec affiliates. The project documentation was fully digitized within the tightest deadlines. The vacuum welding technique of titanium parts was restored and the production of fuselage units was resumed. Today we can safely say that we have been successful in all aspects," he said, according to the Russian state media.

The updated Tu-160M maintains the exterior design of its predecessor, but incorporates a technological base and completely new digital solutions.

The recent visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the S.P. aviation factory. Gorbunov Kazan, in Tartaristan, where he inspected four updated strategic bombers, drew attention amid concerns about the country's military capabilities.

The Tu-160, recognized as the largest and most powerful supersonic aircraft with wings of variable geometry in the history of military aviation, underwent an update program initiated by Putin's decision.

The government contract, signed between the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Tupolev design department, facilitated the digitization of the Tu-160M aircraft design documentation and the restoration of vacuum welding techniques for titanium products, leading to the resumption of the production of fuselage units.

Rostec's main industrial companies in metallurgy, aircraft design, engineering and instrument manufacturing have played crucial roles in revitalizing their cooperation for the successful resumption of production.

The first Tu-160M strategic bomber built from scratch made its first 30-minute flight on January 12, 2022. It is equipped with modern weapons, electronic warfare system, as well as on-board electronic equipment.

According to reports, the Tu-160 entered Soviet service for the first time in the late 1980s, with production until 1995. In 2015, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the resumption of production of the updated variant of the Tu-160M to strengthen the strategy of the Russian Air Force in the capabilities of the bombers at a time of increasing tension with the West, and to compensate for delays in the future PAK-DA bomber program.

Russia plans to eventually buy about 50 Tu-160M bombers and is upgrading 16 existing Tu-160s to the modernized standard. With the first Tu-160M scheduled to be delivered soon, series production is expected to begin in 2023, at a production rate of at least three aircraft per year. This would fit the order for 10 aircraft in the period 2023–27.

The update of the Tu-160M is being implemented in two phases, with the first phase of the Tu-160M1 comprising the new navigation system K-042K-1 and autopilot ABSU-200-1, as well as the removal of some previous systems, such as pump observation systems. This variant of the Tu-160M1 has been operational in the Russian Air Force since the end of 2014.

The second phase of the Tu-160M2 includes the new Novella NV1.70 radar, a digital glass booth, modern communications and anti-jamming equipment, updated NK-32 engines (designated NK-32-02) and modern conventional and nuclear weapons.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

December 26, 2023

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

DEC 27, 2023

On December 26, 1991, the New York Times ran a banner headline: “Gorbachev, Last Soviet Leader, Resigns; U.S. Recognizes Republics’ Independence.” On December 25, Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev had resigned, marking the end of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, often referred to as the Soviet Union or USSR.

Former Soviet republics had begun declaring their independence in March 1990, the Warsaw Pact linking the USSR’s Eastern European satellites into a defense treaty dissolved by July 1991, and by December 1991 the movement had gathered enough power that Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine joined together in a “union treaty” as their leaders announced they were creating a new Commonwealth of Independent States. When almost all the other Soviet republics announced on December 21 that they were joining the new alliance, Gorbachev could either try to hold the USSR together by force or step down. He chose to step down, handing power to the president of the Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin.

The dissolution of the USSR meant the end of the Cold War, and those Americans who had come to define the world as a fight between the dark forces of communism and the good forces of capitalism believed their ideology had triumphed. Two years ago, Gorbachev said that with the collapse of the Soviet Union, "They grew arrogant and self-confident. They declared victory in the Cold War."

The collapse of the USSR gave the branch of the Republican Party that wanted to destroy the New Deal confidence that their ideology was right. Believing that their ideology of radical individualism had destroyed the USSR, these so-called Movement Conservatives very deliberately set out to destroy what they saw as Soviet-like socialist ideology at home. As anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist wrote in the Wall Street Journal: “For 40 years conservatives fought a two-front battle against statism, against the Soviet empire abroad and the American left at home. Now the Soviet Union is gone and conservatives can redeploy. And this time, the other team doesn't have nuclear weapons.”

In the 1990s the Movement Conservatives turned their firepower on those they considered insufficiently committed to free enterprise, including traditional Republicans who agreed with Democrats that the government should regulate the economy, provide a basic social safety net, and promote infrastructure. Movement Conservatives called these traditional Republicans “Republicans in Name Only” or RINOs and said that, along with Democrats, such RINOs were bringing “socialism” to America.

With the “evil empire,” as President Ronald Reagan had dubbed the Soviet Union, no longer a viable enemy, Movement Conservatives, aided by new talk radio hosts, increasingly demonized their domestic political opponents. As they strengthened their hold on the Republican Party, Movement Conservatives cut taxes, slashed the social safety net, and deregulated the economy.

At the same time, the oligarchs who rose to power in the former Soviet republics looked to park their illicit money in western democracies, where the rule of law would protect their investments. Once invested in the United States, they favored the Republicans who focused on the protection of wealth rather than social services. For their part, Republican politicians focused on spreading capitalism rather than democracy, arguing that the two went hand in hand.

The financial deregulation that made the U.S. a good bet for oligarchs to launder money got a boost when, shortly after the September 11, 2001, attacks, Congress passed the PATRIOT Act to address the threat of terrorism. The law took on money laundering and the illicit funding of terrorism, requiring financial institutions to inspect large sums of money passing through them. But the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) exempted many real estate deals from the new regulations.

The United States became one of the money-laundering capitals of the world, with hundreds of billions of dollars laundered in the U.S. every year.

In 2011 the international movement of illicit money led then–FBI director Robert Mueller to tell the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City that globalization and technology had changed the nature of organized crime. International enterprises, he said, “are running multi-national, multi-billion dollar schemes from start to finish…. They may be former members of nation-state governments, security services, or the military…. These criminal enterprises are making billions of dollars from human trafficking, health care fraud, computer intrusions, and copyright infringement. They are cornering the market on natural gas, oil, and precious metals, and selling to the highest bidder…. These groups may infiltrate our businesses. They may provide logistical support to hostile foreign powers. They may try to manipulate those at the highest levels of government. Indeed, these so-called ‘iron triangles’ of organized criminals, corrupt government officials, and business leaders pose a significant national security threat.”

In 2021, Congress addressed this threat by including the Corporate Transparency Act in the National Defense Authorization Act. It undercut shell companies and money laundering by requiring the owners of any company that is not otherwise overseen by the federal government (by filing taxes, for example, or through close regulation) to file with FinCEN a report identifying (by name, birth date, address, and an identifying number) each person associated with the company who either owns 25% or more of it or exercised substantial control over it. The measure also increased penalties for money laundering and streamlined cooperation between banks and foreign law enforcement authorities.

But that act wouldn’t take effect for another three years.

Meanwhile, once in office, the Biden administration made fighting corruption a centerpiece of its attempt to shore up democracy both at home and abroad. In June 2021, Biden declared the fight against corruption a core U.S. national security interest. “Corruption threatens United States national security, economic equity, global anti-poverty and development efforts, and democracy itself,” he wrote. “But by effectively preventing and countering corruption and demonstrating the advantages of transparent and accountable governance, we can secure a critical advantage for the United States and other democracies.”

In March 2023 the Treasury told Congress that “[m]oney laundering perpetrated by the Government of the Russian Federation (GOR), Russian [state-owned enterprises], Russian organized crime, and Russian elites poses a significant threat to the national security of the United States and the integrity of the international financial system,” and it outlined the ways in which it had been trying to combat that corruption. “In light of Russia’s further invasion of Ukraine,” it said, “we must redouble our efforts to prevent Russia from abusing the U.S. financial system to sustain its war and counter Russian sanctioned individuals and firms seeking to exploit vulnerabilities in the U.S. financial system.”

The collapse of the USSR helped to undermine the Cold War democracy that opposed it. In the past 32 years we have torn ourselves apart as politicians adhering to an extreme ideology demonized their opponents. That demonization also helped to justify the deregulation of our economy and then the illicit money from the rising oligarchs it attracted, money that has corrupted our democratic system.

But there are at least signs that the financial free-for-all might be changing. The three years are up, and the Corporate Transparency Act will take effect on January 1, 2024.

The union representing safety inspectors at the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) says contract negotiations have broken down, resulting in 170 of its members walking off the job as of 12:01 a.m. Thursday.

In a statement posted to its website, OPSEU/SEFPO says safety inspectors with Local 546 have been bargaining for their first contract since November 2021, and talks broke off Wednesday afternoon when the TSSA walked away from the table.

The union says the striking workers inspect amusement park rides, food trucks, elevators, fuel burning equipment, boilers and pressure vessels and elements in nuclear power plants, as well as support to police and fire services.

Key issues in negotiations include wages, benefits, understaffing and improved accountability for public safety standards and practices from the TSSA.

I couldn't wait for you to answer because I was so tired and I fell asleep, sorry.

But even if we base morality on what our parents taught us, on what do we base our parents' morals? Our topic contains questions about whether religion can form the basis of morality, so there must be a difference between religious and non-religious parents. As you said, I believe that moral knowledge or general knowledge acquired in childhood can be changed. And I think most of us actually manage to develop mentally by destroying the value judgments that are shown to us as correct and by building our own value judgments.

Child abuse is very common not only in Christian churches, but in almost all religious institutions. I don't know much about abuses in Christian churches because I live in a predominantly Muslim region. I did look at the video you mentioned about the Dalai Lama though, and it's disgusting. I feel like the natural tendencies suppressed by religion are making people even more irritable. I often think that religion is a product of the patriarchal social structure. It was necessary to create a divine power to rule and confuse minds, and that was done. It's weird that people still believe this bullshit though. I know that there is a spiritual side in people, although I cannot feel this spirituality, but I do not understand the importance of a spirituality full of contradictions. I was surprised when I read the Bible. Even with regard to the name of Jesus, there was a contradiction in Matthew 1. Or, when talking about Mary's eternal virginity, it is strange that there are contradictions in Matthew 1 that Mary did not have sexual intercourse with Yusuf until a certain time, but then did. There is belief in tawhid in Islam, and God is an omnipotent and elusive being that satisfies the human mind, at least to some extent. The hypostatic unity in Christianity, the three hypostases of god, seems to destroy the divinity of god. No matter what religion they all seem to have obvious contradictions, and it's odd that people still believe in them. Because while it is not pure good or pure evil, we can all distinguish what is good and bad in line with our centuries-old experiences. Religion is the most obvious way to ground morality, but I don't think it's the right one.

And I must say I agree with everything else you wrote. Thanks for your satisfactory answers. Also thanks for the songs and I hope my broken english doesn't make it difficult for you to understand me.

Do you think democracy is an appropriate form of government? Do you think everyone should have a say in government or do you think systems like oligarchy make more sense?

Yes i do believe so, it's good to have access to information without restrictions and not having someone forcing you to be something. Of course nobody is truly free, but still it's best to be "free" to do what you want and have a chance to improve your critical thinking and have fun than living under a government that limits their people to explore and gain knowledge. Also it's better to be poor and free to do whatever and explore whatever u want, than be poor and having someone inspecting your home and control you (of course the white blonde kid in a western country will disagree and call you stupid for not reading the same dogmatic manifestos they are reading).

I also believe that democracy shouldn't equate 100% total freedom, there should be a few responsabilities to put people more in line (to a certain extent) and educate them.

For example, where i live is not obligatory any military service and i think that is ridiculous. Not even a few months of service so people understand the basics. Every month we see on the news a russian warship passing by, or a nuclear bomber passing by just to intimidate nato countries and on local news - on interviews they make to our politicians - they see military service has something like a fascist thing or old fashion and i think that is so far from reality. Imagine if ukraine had the same mentality these people have. Just because you believe in peace and love bullshit doesn't mean your neighbours do, and becoming weak and laid back based on hippie believes can have serious consequences on the long run. It's very naive, i really don't understand... This people have no fight in them.

Or maybe that's just my mentality, i'm just hard with myself and i believe i need to be ready for anything at all time

I don't think there's much difference between democracy or oligarchy or other politic ways, there's always a group of people pulling the strings. Just look at declassified documents. Cyber attacks, spying and all that shit. Some countries are still not ready for democracy. And there will never be a true way to rule the world, even if the roman empire conquered the entire world and killed all oppositors, people would still find ways to separate things in two and fight against each other.

And what do you think about it?

(you could create a fake profile and write to me - just dont be a avatarless untitled blog because i usually block those)

Defective vetting and failures by police leaders have allowed a “prevalent” culture of potentially thousands of officers who are “predatory” towards women to join and stay in the ranks, a damning official report has concluded.

Officers staged unwarranted stops of women in an abuse of power known as “booty patrols”, with crimes such as sexual assault covered up and ignored along with large-scale harassment of female officers and members of the public.

The report published on Wednesday from His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) for England and Wales was ordered after the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard in March 2021 by a serving Metropolitan police officer, Wayne Couzens.

It details senior officers pursuing women for sex, the watching of pornography on duty and misogynistic comments about crime victims and the public.

The report lists a decade of warnings to police chiefs after past serious sexual assaults and abuses of power by serving officers, with the inspectorate finding that chiefs were “complacent” and failed to appreciate “the danger to the public”.

Officers were cleared to join after “committing offences such as robbery, indecent exposure, possession of controlled drugs, drink-driving and domestic abuse-related assaults”, the report found.

It examined eight forces including the Met and the Civil Nuclear Constabulary, the two forces where Couzens was an armed officer, as well as Kent, where he served as a special constable.

The lead inspector, Matt Parr, said: “We concluded that a culture of misogyny, sexism, predatory behaviour towards female police officers and staff and members of the public was prevalent in all the forces we inspected, which is a depressing finding.

“We believe that the poor behaviour towards women we were told about is prevalent in many – if not all – forces.”

The inspectorate said: “We also found 131 cases where the [employment] decision was questionable at best. In these, we found officers and staff with criminal records, or suspicions that they had committed crime (including some serious crime), substantial undischarged debt, or family members linked to organised crime.

“In other cases, officers and staff had given false or incomplete information to the vetting unit. We also found officers who, despite a history of attracting complaints or allegations of misconduct, successfully transferred between police forces. This is wholly unsatisfactory.”

That amounts to about 18% of the 725 vetting files examined. Every female police officer and staff member spoke to told of harassment and, in some cases, assaults.

Pressed on the scale of the problem, Parr said: “It seems reasonable for me to say that over the last three or four years, the number of people recruited over whom we would raise significant questions is certainly in the hundreds if not low thousands.”

The report cites examples found between 2018 and 2021 – when chiefs claimed vetting had improved. They include:

A special constable cleared to join despite a past conviction for indecent exposure seven times over a two-week period as a juvenile, when he had masturbated at his bedroom window, coughing to attract the attention of a woman. He also had a caution for threats to commit criminal damage.

A support officer cleared to join after slapping his partner in the face.

A police officer allowed to join despite robbing an 80-year-old woman, who was knocked to the ground and had her handbag stolen.

A police officer cleared to join despite concerns he had a theft conviction and potential criminal links.

A police officer arrested twice for assaults on women who were left with marks on their necks, and witness intimidation, as well as having a historical drink-driving conviction.

An officer cleared to join despite an arrest for rape while a juvenile, about 20 years earlier.

An officer, who still works with vulnerable people, given a final written warning for sending extremely sexually explicit and racist messages to a female colleague.

Vetting was found to have failed when officers changed forces and Parr said: “The lessons of the last few years have given ample warning.”

Asked if policing had heeded the warnings, such as those from women’s groups but also some from the inspectorate itself, that Couzens could have been identified earlier as a danger to women, Parr said: “The shoddier your vetting system is, the greater the chance of somebody like Couzens joining you.”

Parr told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme he believed UK policing was experiencing a “tipping point moment”.

“It’s not just our report today, there have been other hard-hitting reports shining a light on police behaviour and some of these problems,” he said.

“I think, or at least I hope, that we’ve now reached the point where chief constables and other police leaders realise this is something they’ve got to bear down on much harder.

“They’ve got to take more interest in recruiting the right people and they’ve got to take more interest in driving out misconduct, because if they don’t, these problems are going to keep coming back, and they can’t.”

The rapid recruitment to meet a government target of 20,000 new officers within three years also heightened concerns over vetting standards and 43 recommendations have been made by the inspectorate.

This report follows one last month by Lady Casey into the Met’s discipline system that found shocking failures, corruption and cover-ups far greater than previously admitted. It led the Met’s commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, to say that hundreds of racist, women-hating and corrupt officers have been left in the ranks of his force alone.

The accumulation of reports, with more to come next year, threatens the reputation of police leaders, who have claimed to have taken the issues seriously, but as the inspectorate said, failed to act on warnings that their staff and the public were in danger from misogynistic, racist and corrupt officers.

Police chiefs said they would adopt the recommendations in full. Andy Marsh, the head of the College of Policing, said: “Vetting will only ever provide a snapshot of the problem, and it must be backed up by strong leadership at all levels and people who can spot and call out behaviour which does not belong in policing. The college’s new entry training and National Centre for Police Leadership will deliver world-class leaders who are equipped with the skills to call out wrongdoing, improve results and bring the service up to the highest standard the public rightly expects.”

Harriet Wistrich of the Centre for Women’s Justice, which has pressed for stronger action over police misogyny, said: “A police officer has powers and status which if misused can allow him to take advantage of vulnerable women – it is utterly unacceptable that there isn’t the strictest interview and vetting procedures to ensure that potential abusers are not admitted to the police.”

10 Common Symptoms of a Bad Heater Matrix

The heater matrix may sound like it belongs in a nuclear power plant, but it's actually an essential component of your car. Therefore, if it starts to cause issues, this list of bad heater core symptoms should make it easier for you to identify the issue.

It is in charge of warming the passenger compartment and bringing about a cosy and comfortable atmosphere on chilly days. Without it, the driving experience would not only be incomplete but also, in some situations, impossible.

The following are 10 faulty heater matrix symptoms:

1.Low Coolant Level Constantly - This is the first and most obvious sign of a defective heater matrix. As you can see, the heater matrix is a connected and integrated component of the cooling system. The heater core is filled with the same coolant that circulates throughout the system. Keeping this in mind, the coolant level will decrease if the heater matrix is damaged (i.e., leaking). At first, it won't be evident at all, but as the leak gets bigger, you'll need to periodically replenish coolant. One more justification for establishing a routine for check-ups. You'll undoubtedly be able to identify the issue quickly. If this happens, search online for vehicle service near me garages and make an appointment as soon as you can with a mechanic to avoid further damage.

2.Frequent Coolant Loss – Adding a little coolant once or twice a year is fine but adding it monthly or more indicates a problem. Keep in mind that other factors, such as a pierced radiator, ruptured coolant hose, a loose clamp, or anything else, may also contribute to coolant loss. You should check the heater matrix as soon as you can if the rest of the system appears to be operating normally following inspection. Find car garages in Reading online and schedule an appointment for your vehicle with a skilled mechanic.

3.Engine Overheating - If the issue is left untreated, coolant loss will eventually result in engine overheating. Simply put, a less efficient system is one with less coolant. The problem will eventually reach the point of overheating, but if you pay attention, it won't. A damaged heater core typically begins with a small leak that might linger for weeks or even months. The leak, though, might suddenly become a coolant deluge if it is ignored. You might have noticed the coolant odour, a higher temperature reading on the thermometer, coolant vapours, or wet carpets prior to this. There will be plenty time to react and identify indicators of a bad heater core. An overheating engine could also result in an emissions test to fail on your next MOT. If you are curious on previous MOT test failure reason, go online and complete a MOT history checker. Avoid reaching this stage at all costs because the engine will suffer severely from overheating. In more extreme situations, it may even result in a warped cylinder head or an engine overhaul. One additional significant point worth emphasising in this section is that, as long as you supply enough coolant and the leak is manageable, you can drive with a bad heater matrix. You can set the heating regulator too cold if the leak occurs in the summer. This minimises or stops coolant loss by separating the heater matrix from the rest of the cooling system. This is only useful if you have to drive a car in an emergency and for short distances and don't need the cabin to be heated. In the winter, you'll need to find a solution quickly because the car won't be much use.

4.Wet Carpets and Floor Panels with Coolant - We now reach one of the most obvious signs of a bad heater matrix. You see, coolant that is lost must be replaced. The heater matrix is typically found inside the passenger compartment of vehicles (near or under the central console). The typical scenario as a result is that coolant drops over the carpets, floor insulation, and finally permeates the floor panels. Everything will eventually become coolant saturated. If you don't enjoy cleaning the inside of your vehicle, this symptom may go unnoticed for a while. If so, you'll undoubtedly notice the wet vehicle mats' undersides. Get your car to a mechanic as soon as you can by looking online for garages in Reading. In addition, you can tell you have a damaged heater matrix if you rub the carpet underneath and acquire a sticky, sweaty coating on your fingers. Of course, water and snow entering the car through your feet can also cause wet car mats and carpets, but they usually dry up relatively fast and don't smell. The car mats are always going to be damp when there is a poor heater matrix issue. It's crucial to catch this symptom as soon as possible. The only option is to disassemble portions of the interior and remove everything that is wet from within when the insulation and carpets become saturated with coolant. This is a labour-intensive and time-consuming task that typically involves removing trim, breaking a variety of clips, removing the car seats, etc. Additionally, everything needs to be fully cleaned and dried before you come back. In contrast, if you catch these signs of a broken heater matrix in time, a simple dry cloth and a better vacuum cleaner might be able to fix the issue.

5.Poor or Non-Existent Cabin Heating - As was previously mentioned, the heater matrix is in charge of heating the cabin. The assumption is that hot air will be expelled whenever hot coolant starts to flow through it. Air is blasted into the ventilation system and through the core simultaneously by a blower that is mounted behind it. Therefore, if you find that the cabin heating is weaker than usual or, in the worst cases, non-existent, you may have a defective heater matrix. At first, you won't even notice it, but as the problem gets worse, it will finally cease working altogether. This symptom emerges around the end of the issue. You will undoubtedly notice the chilly temperature in the passenger cabin even if you don't notice the wet carpets or low coolant level.

6. The Passenger Cabin Is Cold Even When the Engine Is Hot - Even with a hot engine, the passenger cabin remains cold since the heater core doesn't begin to generate heat until the coolant heats up. Most drivers are aware of this and wait until the engine temperature begins to rise before expecting the heater to start functioning. You typically notice warm air coming from the vents as soon as the engine begins to heat up. However, if the temperature monitor indicates a normal engine temperature and you still feel no hot air flowing from the vents, you may have a heater matrix issue.

7.Constant Smell of Coolant Inside the Cabin - Inside the cabin, there was a persistent fragrance of coolant, which has a distinct sweet aroma. If you've never smelled coolant, simply open the coolant bottle's cap (when the engine is still cold) and inhale, and you'll understand what I mean. Once coolant begins to leak into the passenger compartment, the odour will never go away. You'll probably notice it as soon as you get in the car, even if the engine is cold. The fragrance will be more apparent when the engine warms up. The coolant is beginning to evaporate, which is the cause.

8.Greasy Foggy Film on The Windscreen - One of the poor heater matrix symptoms that are possibly the most dramatic is the presence of a greasy, foggy film on the windscreen. As previously noted, as the engine starts to heat up, the coolant will begin to evaporate through a malfunctioning heater matrix. The ventilation system will likely catch the evaporation. When the ventilation is directed toward the windshield, as it is most often in the winter, coolant vapour will begin to condense as a thin, greasy film or fog. The leak will first be difficult to detect despite being only a little leak. An oily stain and smears will be left on the material if you attempt to clean it. A faint coolant scent will be there along with it. The misty film will be constant during the later period. It will emerge as soon as the car is started. At this point, you need to act to fix the issue. If not, you can encounter a very unpleasant situation. In the final stage, a hot coolant odour and a heavy mist of vaporised coolant may suddenly begin to flow into the passenger cabin. Driving is going to be pretty much impossible in a few minutes. You'll need to stop, shut off the engine, and exit the vehicle as quickly as you can.

9.Cabin Is Foggy All the Time - Every time you leave the car for a few hours, the cabin will be foggy. This is another tell-tale indicator. When you stop the car, turn off the engine, and the ventilation system stops working because of a defective heater matrix, the coolant tends to evaporate and leaves the cabin hazy. Simply put, there is a condensation effect. Remember that there may be other causes for this, such as water leaks into the passenger compartment, so look for any other potential issues. Once more, this is one of the signs of a faulty heater matrix that may be identified by the coolant's sweet aroma. Therefore, a bad heater matrix is likely the cause of a foggy cabin and a coolant stench.

10.Over-pressurised Coolant System - A blocked heater matrix will also cause issues in addition to leaking. It is constructed of a combination of aluminium mesh and small-diameter tubes through which coolant flows, just like the vehicle radiator. These tubes may get clogged over time for a number of causes (using tap water instead of coolant, the build-up of filth inside the system, etc). The system's coolant pressure rises as the heater matrix becomes clogged. If left unattended, it may result in coolant hose cracking, engine overheating, or other problems. A minor engine overheating and a consistent high pressure in the coolant bottle are two signs of a defective heater matrix that indicate this. The coolant bottle is pressurised at all times, but when everything is in order, you won't hear a loud hissing sound every time you open it; instead, you'll hear a brief sound. The cabin heating will cause these symptoms to manifest. You probably won't notice anything if it isn't.

Threaded Equal Tee Exporters in India

INTRODUCTION:- Shasan Piping Solution was founded by a group of many years of experienced specialists in product developing, designing, producing management, and quality control. Our Organisation is ISO 9001:2015. We supply only good quality, traceable inspection, and reliable delivery with excellent customer service.

We are professionals and specialize in manufacturing, stockist, importing, and export of Pipe Fittings, Flanges, Fasteners, Instrumentation Fittings, Hammer Union, Valves, Gaskets, Pipes and Tubes, Sheet, Plates, Coils, Bars & Structural Steel Products as per customer’s projects, drawings, standards, and specifications. The most popular kind of pipe fitting that can be used to combine or divide liquid streams is a threaded tee fitting. The ASTM A182 SS Threaded Tees can be accessed via a female-threaded side outlet and female thread sockets, solvent-weld sockets, or solvent-weld sockets.

Threaded Equal Tees can be used to divert a pipe run, connect pipes of different diameters, or do both. A stock list of forged threaded tees made in various materials, sizes, and wraps is available at Shasan Piping Solution. Additionally, the screwed tee made of alloy steel can also be used to transfer two liquid combinations. Based on their three connections, tees can be classified as equal or unequal in size, with equal tees being the most often produced kind.

DESCRIPTION:- These threaded tee fittings have undergone additional treatments, one of which includes surface treatments, to improve their outer layer. The threaded tee ASME B16.11 is available in several completions. Typical finishes for the outer layer of the threaded tee include electroplating, nickel plating, white coating, dark cast, gold plating, excited finish, and so forth. While these treatments provide an external advantage to the ASME B16.11 threaded tee features, there should occasionally be an opportunity to further enhance its mechanical qualities, such as by boosting its resistance to and tensile strength of erosion.

Most commonly, cast metal or bronze, forged alloy and carbon steel, or cast dark or flexible iron could be used to make threaded screwed tee fittings. Alternatively, alternative materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, nickel, cast iron, bronze, plastic, elastic, copper, metal, polypropylene, etc. might also be used to make the ASTM A182 SS Threaded Tees. There are three tension ratings available for the ASME B16.11 threaded tee fitting aspects: Class 2000, Class 3000, and Class 6000.

Presumably, the earliest technique for connecting pipe systems is represented by the threaded tee fitting characteristics of ASME B16.11. The ASME B16.11 threaded tee fittings, often called little drag pipework, are mostly used for small pipe diameters, much as socket weld fittings. Little drag pipe is typically defined as piping with an apparent diameter of NPS 2 or less.
