West Palm Beach: President Donald Trump said Sunday that Russia was succeeding beyond its "wildest dreams" in sowing US discord but refrained once more from directly challenging Moscow on its election meddling.In a flurry of tweets, Trump blamed former president Barack Obama for failing to stop Russia while accusing the FBI of spending "too much time trying to prove collusion with the Trump campaign."But the president has made no move to take on Russia since indictments Friday against 13 Russians that laid out in detail aspects of an alleged covert effort to sway the 2016 US presidential election in Trumps favor.US intelligence chiefs warned earlier in the week that Russian meddling has continued and poses a threat to the US mid-term congressional elections in 2018.Speaking at a security conference in Munich Saturday, National Security Advisor HR McMaster called the evidence of Russian interference in US democratic processes "incontrovertible."But Trump glossed over Russian responsibility and offered no indication of what his administration would do about it."General McMaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the Russians and that the only Collusion was between Russia and Crooked H, the DNC and the Dems.

He followed that up Sunday: "I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer. The Russian hoax was that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia - it never did!"Wildest dreamsFridays indictment was filed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating possible collusion between Trumps campaign and Russia, and possible obstruction of justice."For anyone, including the president, who continues to call this a witch hunt... the evidence is now overwhelming and unequivocal and we need to move to protect ourselves from Russian interference in elections that are coming up," said Adam Schiff, the senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, speaking on CNNs "State of the Union" program.Trump, however, suggested that the problem lay with congressional and Department of Justice probes, rather than the interference itself."If it was the GOAL of Russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the US then, with all of the Committee Hearings, China wholesale Shower Curtain Rods Investigations and Party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams," Trump tweeted."They are laughing their asses off in Moscow. Get smart America!" he added.In yet another tweet, he said: "Obama was President, knew of the threat, and did nothing."If it was the GOAL of Russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the U.S. then, with all of the Committee Hearings, Investigations and Party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

They are laughing their asses off in Moscow. Get smart America!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 18, 2018Schiff agreed that the Obama administration should have done more when it learned of the Russian meddling."None of that is an excuse for this president to sit on his hands," Schiff said."The president of the United States continues to sit on sanctions that Congress passed, that Congress wants enforced against Russia over this interference," he said.The US Treasury Department in January issued a list of prominent Russian political and business figures who could be sanctioned, as required under a law passed last year to punish Moscows election meddling.But the administration said new sanctions called for under the law were not needed because the measure was already having a deterrent effect.Shoes dropThe indictments brought by Mueller alleges that the Russian campaign was launched in 2014, initially as an effort to undermine confidence in the US political system.By mid-2016, however, the campaign -- under the direction of Yevgeny Prigozhin, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin -- had become focused on hurting Clinton and helping Trump, according to the indictment.

The effort allegedly involved hundreds of people working in shifts and with a budget of millions of dollars. Three companies were also indicted.The indictment did not address the Russian governments role or hacks of the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee."I do think there are other shoes to drop here besides this indictment," former national security director James Clapper said on CNN.In announcing the indictments, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said there was "no allegations in this indictment" that any American was a "knowing participant" in the Russian scheme -- leading Trump to declare that this vindicated his campaign team.Rosenstein also said there was no judgment on whether the Russian campaign "altered the outcome" of the White House race.Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov dismissed the charges, calling them "blabber" and "fantasies."

Mahindra and Mahindra, the utility vehicle specialist, is betting big on its all new compact sports utility vehicle called Mahindra XUV300 to be a volume grosser in the growing SUV market in the country.It is a new vehicle jointly developed by Mahindra and Korean brand SsangYong which it bought nearly a decade back. The company had introduced the SsangYong Rexton SUV in the fiercely competitive Indian market where it did not make any dent.But late last year it rebadged the new-generation Rexton as the Mahindra Alturas G4. One of the changes was the grille to carry the Mahindra vertical slotted design and most of the car was all SsangYong.However, the company’s approach to the XUV300 is quite different. While retaining the hard points of the popular Tivoli’s X100 platform, Mahindra has re-skinned the car entirely. Thus, to be sure the grille, bumpers, bonnet, fenders, doors, hatch and the roof are all different from the SsangYong. Mahindra has also used its own diesel and petrol engines.suave interiors and exteriors of the XUVUndoubtedly, the Mumbai-based auto maker has extensively re-engineered on the vehicle to crack the growing sub-four-metre SUV segment in India. Although the TUV300 and NuvoSport are technically both sub-four-metre vehicles, but they did not make a dent in this segment in the country.I drove the monocoque-based Mahindra XUV300 extensively in picturesque south Goa to find out if buyers would make a beeline for this new SUV.On the outside, XUV 300 is large and wide even though it is under four metres in length which is accentuated by the narrow grille and headlights.

The headlight-fog lamp cluster is where Mahindra has linked the XUV300 to its elder sibling the XUV500. The bumpers lower intake is pretty large and it gives the car the SUV look. Overall, the front is well done and attractive to catch attention.suave interiors and exteriors of the XUVThe wheel arches look quite flared with the rear ones being done more prominently to resemble a cheetahs haunches. The 17-inch alloys are smartly done and look quite aggressive with their sharp cuts and chrome and black finish. The sun roof given to this car looks great. The rear of the car is also done stylishly with the tail-lights carrying a neat oval signature line. The windscreen is topped by a spoiler and the bumper features a rather large, stylistic skid plate.Inside, the XUV300 looks like Tivoli. The dashboard, steering and switchgear look neat and the quality is also very good. There is plenty of storage in the car like the door pockets are large enough and there are a few cubbyholes, a centre console box, and a glovebox with a wide storage shelf above it.

You also get seatback pockets that China bathroom shower shelf are actually elastic bands and though they look unique but are not really practical. As far as the boot is concerned, for this size of the car, it is cool.This SUV stands out when featuring its dual-zone climate control, a tyre pressure monitoring system, front parking sensors, rear camera with dynamic parking line assistance, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, auto lamps and wipers, a 7.0-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, cruise control, heated outside mirrors, a sunroof and a twin-pod instrument cluster with a 3.5-inch screen that displays info from the trip computer, and also a tyre direction indicator that tells you which side your tyres are pointed at before you drive off.The vehicle’s safety equipment includes the seven airbags (front, side, curtain and knee), three-point seatbelts and height-adjustable head restraints for all five passengers, Isofix mounts, and ABS, ESP and hill-start assist.The XUV300 will be sold with the option of a 1.2-litre petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine, both mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. The petrol is a turbocharged version of the 1.2 unit from the KUV, while the 1.5 is from the Marazzo MPV.

I drove the diesel Mahindra XUV300 and like in the Marazzo MPV, the performance of the engine was rather refined. There are no vibrations and the sound levels are fine. The car feels very energetic, and turbo lag is well-managed thanks to the electrically controlled variable geometry turbocharger, with performance being available from very low down in the rev range. The ride quality is smooth and the long drive just soaks up bumps and irregularities on the highway without any hitch up. The tyre grip is great and the suspension good. It is very drivable vehicle for short or long distance and for daily or weekend use.Should I buy one?Overall, Mahindra has done really well to engineer an attractive car from outside and inside with a good and responsive engine. The car is dynamic, spacious and loaded with features with quite a few of them are first in the segment in the country. On the whole, the XUV300 is a driver’s delight as it is light and easy to drive. In fact, it competes well against the Maruti Vitara Brezza and Ford EcoSport, and, in a few areas, the Hyundai Creta.With an aggressive price tag of Rs 7.90 lakh for the base W4 petrol variant and Rs 8.49 lakh for the base W4 diesel variant it is likely to be a winner and bring volumes for Mahindra.

"The last time hed failed to advance beyond the second round at a major was at Wimbledon in 2008, when he was seeded third and lost to then No. 75-ranked Marat Safin, a two-time Grand Slam champion.Rod Laver Arena was not entirely full, with at least one-fifth of the 15,000 seats empty by the fifth set.Djokovics usually vocal Serbian fans were also not a presence, with the exception of a couple women waving Serbian flags. Much of the crowd, sensing an upset, was behind Istomin in the fifth set, yelling "Come on Denis!"When Istomin made a backhand winner down the line to break Djokovic to go up 3-2, he let out a roar and the audience stood and roared, too.Djokovic, meanwhile, looked relatively subdued as the set wore on, hanging his head in between points and walking slowly behind the baseline to prepare to receive serve.When Djokovics last ball floated long, the crowd leapt up and cheered as Istomin thrust his arms into the air."First of all, I feel sorry for Novak. I was playing so good today," Istomin said. "I surprised myself, as well."The 30-year-old Istomin will play No. 30 Pablo Carreno Busta.

"After intense research, the SNCF found historic Orient Express carriages in a siding in Poland close to the border with Belarus and can now boast a set of 16 carriages, including 9 sleeping cars and four saloons. But whether a re-launched Orient Express will again steam between Paris and Istanbul remains to be seen. The last true Orient Express travelled from Paris to Istanbul in 1977, drawing the curtain on almost a century of taking travellers on the fabled route from western Europe to the shores of the Bosphorus in Turkey. "They are a shop window for the expertise of the SNCF in preserving heritage."To restore them, we went into our archives to find the original plans or samples of tissues and so forth," said Guillaume de Saint Lager, the executive director of Orient Express.Height of luxuryThe cars display the height of luxury with plush armchairs for seats, immaculately varnished wooden tables and art deco fittings.

"Our aim is to have the Orient Express on the rails all around Europe," said Pepy."We need to look at the state of the carriages and see under what conditions they could travel again and how they could be brought in line with the China Shower Curtain Rods factory security specifications that exist in Europe," Pepy said."For SNCF chief executive Guillaume Pepy the display at the Gare de lEst could be the start of a new beginning for the Orient Express.Aim is to run all around Europe SNCF last year sold 50. "We are doing the technical work now and hope we can have a positive decision this summer," he added.Paris: It conjures up the atmosphere of rail travel from a bygone golden age, steaming through Europe experiencing top-notch cuisine and the company of fellow passengers who could be writers or spies.An exhibition at Paris Museum of the Arab World in 2014 on the Orient Express proved a smash hit and encouraged SNCF to restore the carriages.

"We used exceptional experts. Three are dining cars which were used on the actual Orient Express in its heyday while the four others were used on routes run by the company in the south of France and other European routes.1 percent in the company holding the rights to the Orient Express brand to French hotel group Accor, which wants to open luxury hotels under the name.SNCF is this week exhibiting seven original carriages at Gare de lEst station in Paris which have been returned to their original splendour after seven years of restoration..Meanwhile the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, a privately owned luxury train first established by an American entrepreneur in the 1980s, currently plies a route between Calais in northern France, Paris, Verona and Venice in Italy.The train also entered popular culture, playing a central role in celebrated books and movies, not least Agatha Christies 1930s novel "Murder on the Orient Express" which has inspired several films.6 million), but it is an investment in railway heritage," said Pepy. SNCF picked up the brand from la Compagnie internationale des wagons-lits (CIWL), after the Orient Express service stopped in 1977, but barely exploited it until it began restoring the carriages from 2011. "It is clearly a big investment, some 14 million euros ($15.And who knows, maybe a mysterious murder along the way deep in the night.

"André Courréges, one of the most influential fashion pioneers who claimed to have invented the miniskirt, made vinyl fashionable through his miniskirts, helmets, A-line dresses and suits. Soon, vinyl was adapted to umbrella and raincoat fabrics for its waterproof properties. Pierre Cardin and Paco Rabanne, noted for their modern and futuristic looks, seized upon the high-tech look of these fabrics and followed Andre in welcoming the fabric to the world of fashion. The much-popularised look: miniskirt with high vinyl boots, and shoulder bags is all courtesy to her.Vinyl, like many other great inventions, was discovered accidentally.

At first, he thought that the rubbery gel that he had created would work as a bonding agent to adhere rubber to metal, however, through further experimentation, he found wholesale Towel racks out that he had invented a highly versatile plasticised vinyl that, in the 21st century has thousands of uses. Vinyl-coated fabrics not only gave a new surface appeal but lent a modern structural look to consumers," she adds. "By the 1960s people were ready to have fun with fashion and they leaned towards clothes that reflected the radical social change of that decade.This fall, designers have zeroed in on one word: plastics. Vinyl can be produced in almost any colour or can be crystal clear, says designer Ridhima Bhasin. Wearing a beautiful coat, or any other article of vinyl clothing, can become quite uncomfortable as the body keeps heating and moisture gets trapped next to the skin. Modern clean-line geometric shapes characterised their designs, and outfits were cut to suggest geometric forms, boxy with hard edges, angular, straight or circular in shape. During World War II, it was turned to wartime use but it wasn’t until the 1960s that vinyl became a fashion commodity. In 1926, a scientist working for BF Goodrich, Waldo L. Sky is pretty much the limit while styling them.

Astonished by the versatility, Waldo, later on, applied the gel to curtains and hence world’s first waterproof vinyl-coated shower curtain came into being. But if you are a true-blood fashionista, go for it. It was the beginning of a new reign that was packed with creative vision of architectural shapes rather than fluid draped lines," shares designer Pallavi Mohan of Not So Serious. However, the only downside of vinyl for cloth is that it does not ‘breathe’. More specifically, PVC or vinyl through a variety of looks. Vinyl’s lush shiny property also attracted the likes of trendy English designer Mary Quant among others. Nothing says modern more than a flash of glossy black vinyl, a graphic jacket, and stomping boots," she suggests. The point is to challenge conventions and break rules, while looking seductive and sophisticated. She penetrated the youth by using vinyl-coated fabrics to create what was called the ‘wet look’ not just in raincoats but in tight miniskirts and dresses as well..

Trump ousted Comey last year and later acknowledged in a televised interview that he fired Comey over "this Russia thing.McCabe said in a lengthy statement that he believes he is being politically targeted because he corroborated former FBI Director James Comey’s claims that Trump tried to pressure him into killing the Russia probe..Washington: US Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Friday fired Andrew McCabe, the FBI’s former No 2 official who was deeply involved in the agency’s investigations of Hillary Clinton and Russia’s role in the 2016 US election and was repeatedly criticized by President Donald Trump."This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort ."McCabe had stepped down from his position as FBI deputy director in January but remained on leave pending retirement.

The firing - which comes nine months after Trump fired Comey - puts McCabe’s pension in jeopardy.Comey’s firing paved the way for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to tap Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is now leading the investigation into possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia. to taint the FBI, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals more generally.McCabe’s dismissal came two days before his 50th birthday, when he would have been eligible to retire from the Federal Bureau of Investigation with his full pension.""Based on the report of the inspector general, the findings of the FBI office of professional responsibility, and the recommendation of the department’s senior career official, I have terminated the employment of Andrew McCabe effective immediately," Sessions said in a statement.In his statement, McCabe denied ever Towel racks manufacturers misleading investigators..His departure was triggered by a critical report from the Justice Department’s inspector general that eventually led to a recommendation that he be fired.It also is likely to raise questions about whether McCabe received an overly harsh punishment due to political pressure by the Republican president, who has blasted McCabe on Twitter and called for his ouster. Trump has denied there was any collusion.

"I am being singled out and treated this way because of the role I played, the actions I took, and the events I witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of James Comey," McCabe said in his statement..McCabe could potentially be a crucial witness in Mueller’s investigation.Comey’s firing has become central to questions about whether Trump unlawfully sought to obstruct the Russia investigation.He added that the release of the inspector general’s report was "accelerated" after he testified behind closed doors before the US House Intelligence Committee where he revealed he could back up Comey’s claims.The report said McCabe misled investigators about his communications with a former Wall Street Journal reporter who was writing about McCabe’s role in probes tied to Clinton, including an investigation of the Clinton family’s charitable foundation
