light operations, both domestic and international, had been suspended on March 25 as India entered a lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. Domestic airlines were allowed to operate flights after two months on May 25 at one-third capacity of their summer schedule. This limit was then revised to 45 per cent flight capacity on June 26, and further expanded to 60 per cent on September 2.
Meanwhile, scheduled international flights remained suspended. On October 28, the DGCA extended suspension of international flights till November 30. However, India continues to fly repatriation flights under the Vande Bharat Mission to bring back its citizens stranded in foreign countries due to travel restrictions on the back of coronavirus lockdown.
India has also entered into air bubble arrangements with 18 nations. These are temporary reciprocal air travel arrangements that allow people to travel between India and these countries.
On October, DGCA approved said it has approved 12,983 weekly domestic flights of airlines for the winter schedule that begins on Sunday and ends on March 27 next year. In last year's winter schedule, the aviation regulator had approved 23,307 weekly domestic flights. This is only 55.7 per cent of flights approved in the winter schedule last year.
Video: Texas Democrat counts illegal aliens among the constituents he represents
His name is Rafael Anchia, and he is the elected state Rep. from district 103 in the Dallas area. He is also said to have his eye on one of Texas’ new seats in Congress. Speaking in the Texas House to oppose an Arizona-style immigration reform bill in the Texas legislature (House Bill 12), Anchia openly says that he represents illegal aliens.
“The immigrant population in district 103 includes some of the finest and most hard working people in the state of Texas. They’re people that you’re gonna find on roofs, or in construction crews, in the middle of the summer when the temperature gauge says 100 degrees. You trust them to take care of your children and you give them the keys to your house to do your dirty laundry. They’re people of faith who fill the churches of all traditions….The constituents who I represent who are undocumented hate criminal gangs, hate drug dealers, hate narcos, hate terrorists as much as any of us in this room.”
First, in an economy with flat income and few jobs, just how many Texans actually hire anyone to perform the jobs Anchia describes for them? Most Texans aren’t rich lawyers like Anchia, and take care of their own kids and do their own laundry.
Second…”the constituents who I represent who are undocumented…” Anchia there admits that he considers illegal aliens his constituents. He represents them.
Silly me, I thought elected officials were supposed to represent the citizens who vote them into office, and part of their responsibility is not just making new laws, but to uphold the laws of the state and country that are already on the books. There is an oath of office to that effect. Anchia may have his eye on higher office, but with these remarks he reveals that the nation’s laws mean nothing to him, and he has shown himself to be unfit for any elective office.
Wow, Rafael Anchia! What an incredible coincidence that he advocates by last names. Who saw that coming! Incredible!
Welcome to Latino notions of Jeffersonian politics wrapped up in the “greater good”.
Actually his position dovetails nicely with my own view that Anchia is a traitor to the United States and all it stands for so it’s nice how it works out like that. He is against immorality he cannot show, but in favor of illegality he can show. And his defense in that if criminals work hard and are Latinos, they’re simply not criminals. He says:
“They’re people that you’re gonna find on roofs, or in construction crews, in the middle of the summer when the temperature gauge says 100 degrees.”
Too bad they won’t be making any breakthroughs like fractal geometry or sitting around with corn cob pipes ruminating on how a clock runs slower closer to a gravity well and actually inventing a temperature gauge would be a plus in their favor.
Build on failure, you get failure. Deny success because you think everyone outside the Roman Empire were actually unlucky equals, and you have a problem.
Then there’s Carlos Santana, whom I thought I respected, saying at a baseball game in Atlanta thet brown people don’t have to obey the laws of this country. OK, he really just blasted Ga and AZ immigration laws, but help me understand the difference.
Wow, Santana – what a racist yerk.
I always thought his good time charlie/karma joe routine was fake.
From now on I’m downloading his music for free.
I already was but now I can hold my head up.
Take that Santana Trucha!
imho, santana is the “leftist” of guitar players; his licks/runs go on and on and on and on without really getting anywhere until there is the arbitrary reconnection with the rest of the band so the fans can say “whoo hoo that santana, such an improvisor, such a technician, brilliant artist…”
Well, we have now devolved to representation without citizenship or legal residence. How far we have fallen. No wonder we are going bankrupt. Crooks, thieves, liars, charletons and userpers of our Constitution; that’s our congresscritters.
A Democrat promoting lawlessness? Sorry but that has been happening for years!
What an idiot. Doesn’t he know that these illegals are sucking our Treasury dry of it’s assets. HB 12 should be passed adn passed now. Send these illegals back home with their Anchor Babies. Anchia, you took an oath to uphold the US Constitution. Now do It.

One of the cutest couples in figure skating is heading into the Winter Olympics and the story of how Alexa and Chris Knierim met is almost as adorable as they are. According to Cosmopolitan, the couple actually owes Chris' mother a "thank you". After all, she's the reason they first got together.
The couple was first introduced by their coach, Dalilah Sappenfield, according to People, but it seems that Chris' mom first brought up the idea of skating together. In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Alexa said that Chris' mother wanted her to skate with him, but she wasn't immediately into the idea since she had committed to her first pairs partnership with another skater. Alexa did tell the magazine, though, "I will admit I thought he was attractive." NBC Olympics reported that the couple began skating together in 2012. Alex and Chris actually competed against each other before they decided to team up together in 2012 when Alexa moved to Colorado for "a coaching change," the couple shared on their website.
After that, the two love birds, Alexa, 26, and Chris, 30, started dating within a month of meeting, as reported by People and they were engaged by 2014. Then, in the summer of 2016, the couple tied the knot at The Lodge at Flying Horse, in Colorado Springs, according to the Ice Network. Other skaters in attendance included Ashley Wagner, Ryan Bradley, Adam Rippon, Madison Chock and Evan Bates, Max Aaron, Drew Meekins, Madeline Aaron and Max Settlage, as the Ice Network noted.
This was a dream come true on so many levels. Every little girl dreams of three things: being a princess, finding a prince and having a fairytale wedding. Well, I found my prince in Chris -- he's always made me feel safe and loved and respected. He is as gentle as he is strong, and he truly is my perfect partner -- both on and off the ice.
We just know everything about each other, and I think it helps in the day-to-day when we go to practice and when we compete. We support each other and we kind of know what the other one needs in that moment, and I think that’s what pushes us forward to be the great team that we are.
No wonder the two have such great chemistry on the ice, right?
We get to travel together, we get to skate together, compete together, and live our dreams together, which is a unique thing. It’s not like I have to go to some country alone and then come home and tell Alexa all about it. She’s there to experience it with me.
Clearly, this couple is a great example for relationship goals, even though Alexa told Cosmopolitan that they're "boring". Some couples could use a little boring in their lives, though. When you're a world famous ice-skating duo, a little down time sounds necessary.
Currently, the couple has two cats and two dogs, but children aren't too far off in the future, as reported by NBC Olympics. According to Cosmopolitan, Alexa and Chris hope to have kids at some point and they want two or three children. How cute will their babies be?! Maybe they'll come out wearing itty bitty ice skates.Materials for the Study of Social Symbolism in Ancient & Tribal Art: A Record of Tradition & Continuity. Author image.
Safe and sound. I received all the volumes and individual books as described, in very good condition, as close to fine as can be expected, really, given that only imperfection is the fading and mild discoloration of the bindings.
