Most hunters relegated to hunting public grounds have the mistaken belief that mature bucks are virtually nonexistent in these settings. In my experience, nothing could be further from the truth. Massive bucks are harvested on public land every year, but they are not easy to hunt.
The first key in killing these masters of survival lies in understanding how they elude hunters. Most base their survival on finding the locations where we don’t go. Sometimes, that consists of miles of sprawling wilderness. In most cases, it’s just something overlooked. Either way, if you want a legitimate shot at them, you must locate this no-man’s land.
These pockets of seldom-hunted land might actually be some of the easiest areas to access. A great example of this is a small, isolated growth of trees and thick brush bordering a dirt road I hunt. The area was separated from the big timber by a quarter-mile of tall grass, and the horde of other hunters would have laughed at the idea of placing a stand there. That’s exactly why I was able to kill a 3½-year-old 10-pointer in that spot. Early in life the buck realized that he could bed there, safe from the masses that hit the woods.
Water barriers and islands can create sanctuaries as well. Pitifully few hunters will slip on a pair of chest waders or pull out a canoe. Because of that, sizable chunks of land on the other side of water courses often go untouched by hunters.
Next, there are terrain features that discourage other hunters. Many people aren’t willing to scale a steep 500-foot ridge or traverse a deep gorge, particularly when ample sign tells them they can go the easy route and hunt the friendlier side they park on.
Of course, there’s always going the extra mile on the bigger tracts of land. That’s exactly what Wisconsin hunter Wally Sitka did. The first year Wally hunted one particular huge buck, he had a close encounter with the animal about a mile back in.
Before eventually arrowing the animal early in the 2007 season, Wally shifted deeper twice more, finally setting up around 2 miles from the nearest access point. His final setup was right at the doorstep of the buck’s bedding areas. Even this far from access, the buck still chose an area so thick and nasty that Sitka could only catch flashes of him before he stepped into a shooting lane.
To get to such a remote location, Wally had ridden a bike as far back as he could and walked the rest of the way. To get the buck out, he had no choice but to enlist the help of his friend J.R. Treharne. J.R. didn’t mind. After all, it’s not every day that you can help your friend drag out a public-land buck that has a perfectly clean 12-point rack and a gross score flirting with 190.
Along with finding where other hunters don’t go, I’m sure you’ve already picked up on the second key: setting up as close to the buck’s bedroom as possible without him noticing that you’re there.
That’s where some woodsmanship and common sense come into play. When trying to find that bedding area, scour the area, looking for big-buck sign. If you can follow it correctly, those big tracks, scrapes and rubs will show you the path.
Look for one of three different features: First, the thickest, nastiest stuff in the area is always a good bet. Some form of topography that provides a superior view is another good one. Finally, look for nasty terrain that the buck can use as a safety barrier. Bedding at the edge of a sharp ravine or at the base of a sheer wall blocks the possibility of danger approaching from one or more directions. Most times, a buck’s bed will offer superior cover, a view, a safety barrier or a combination of those features. Next, find that big depression that indicates a bed and you’re in business.
The buck’s access and exit routes are typically easy to pinpoint. However, common sense and an analysis of the terrain should be used to determine how far one must to go to remain unnoticed.
Keeping disturbances around the stand to a minimum is a huge concern. Go in as odor-free as possible, don’t mill around the stand and generally keep disturbances to a minimum. You must keep a buck ignorant to your stand location. Mature bucks do exist on most chunks of heavily hunted public grounds. No, their numbers aren’t as high as on large areas of heavily
managed grounds, and they are nowhere near as easy to kill. However, that doesn’t change the fact that they are there for those willing and able to take them.
To do so, the first key is finding where other hunters aren’t. Next, locate and set up as close to that bedding area as you safely can. Finally, do your very best not to draw attention to yourself. Do that, hope for a little luck, and going all out on public land just might pay off in a very big way.

Adopting a Pet? Here Are Five Rules You Must Follow
Anyone who adopts a new pet
from Animal Care and Control must follow our Adoption Policy. Five rules must be
- Every adopted
animal must be spayed or neutered.
- All dogs must
receive the "4-in-1 vaccine".
- All dogs must
- All owners
must prove that they have the means to properly care for their
- Adopted dogs
must go to families with fenced yards.
The primary responsibility of
Animal Control is animal welfare, making sure that animals in the county are
treated humanely and the prospective owners have the means to properly care for
adopted pets. Our five rules are listed in detail below.
Rule 1. Every adopted animal must be spayed or neutered
In order to prevent unwanted litters of puppies or kittens, Animal Care and Control has a strict spay/neuter program in place. EVERY animal adopted from us MUST be spayed or neutered.
The majority of time that is accomplished by the prospective owner making an appointment with the vet of their choice for the animal's sterilization (surgical spay or neuter). Animal Care and Control will hold the dog or cat until the appointment date and then transport the pet to the veterinarian. The vet performs the surgery, vaccinates the pet against rabies, and the new owner picks up their new pet at the vet's office at the end of the day. The new owner is responsible to pay the vet at that time.
If, in the rare case of an animal that is too young or has some treatable health difficulty which precludes the sterilization surgery before the animal goes home, the new owner must pay a sterilization deposit ($45.00 for dogs, $35.00 for cats) and sign a Sterilization Agreement. The surgery MUST be accomplished as soon as the animal is physically well and able to tolerate the surgery without danger. These situations are RARE and are reviewed on a case by case basis.
Any elective surgery that the owner may wish to have done at the same time as the sterilization, such as ear cleaning, declawing, tail docking, etc., are the total responsibility of the owner.
Rule 2. All dogs must receive the "4-in-1 vaccine"
All dogs receive one 4-in-1 vaccination before adoption. The vaccination includes Canine Distemper-Adenovirus Type 2-Coronavirus-Parainfluenza-Parvovirus Vaccine.
3. All dogs must be microchipped
All dogs are microchipped and cats can be chipped upon request. Animal Care and Control uses the Home Again microchip and we complete the registration for the new owner with the American Kennel Club Lost Pet Division.
Microchipping (for dogs) and sterilization are not negotiable and if the potential owner does not wish to comply with these two requirements, he or she will not be allowed to adopt from Animal Care and Control.
4. All owners must prove that they have the means to properly care for their
Your pet must be safely confined and have adequate food, water and shelter.
Proper confinement is necessary to protect the public or someone living in the new owner's home.
Your family is also subject to our professional judgment and experience to match the breed and size of an animal with the capabilities or family dynamics of the new owner.
Therefore, we have the following
Adoption Interview Form
Adobe Acrobat to view) which must be completed prior to adoption. You may
fill it out on line if you wish, but a signature is required and must be done in person at the time of adoption.
5. Adopted dogs must go to families with fenced yards
We will not adopt a new dog to someone who does not have a fenced yard. We would
not like to live at the end of a chain and we don't expect a canine companion to
either. Fenced yards prevent many inhumane conditions dogs may go through in hot
Arizona summers or problems created by entanglement.
Rights of Animal Care and Control to Refuse Adoption
The Staff at Animal Care and Control hope that every adoption is successful. That is why we follow the procedures we do. We take it very seriously and ask for your patience while we go through the process together. If, for
any reason, our staff does not believe that a successful adoption can take place, Animal Care and Control reserves the right
deny the adoption.
Adoption Wish List
If you are interested in adopting a pet, yet would like to get a specific kind, or don't quite know what you would like, we have the Adoption Wish List which just might help you out. With the Wish List, we take down some of the characteristics of the animal you would like to have, and then keep them on file to match against any of the animals that we have now, or take in at a later time. By filing out this form, you will be notified when a pet matching your description becomes available, and at that time, you will need to follow all of the requirements listed above. So, please take a moment to fill out the Wish list, either
download a copy of the form to fill out by hand

Donald Trump Respects The Masculinity Of The Navy Seals By Refusing To Turn Them Gender Neutral
US President Donald Trump found out the Navy Special Warfare Command had changed its ethos and creed statements to include women – though none are serving in the SEALs – and vowed to revert it right away. Trump tweeted; “I will be overturning this ridiculous order immediately!” Donald Trump shows great leadership and common sense by not adhering to stupid social justice feminist idiosyncrasies!
According to AMN, the Navy has removed gendered words such as “brotherhood” and “man” from the official SEAL ethos – replacing them with “citizen” and “warrior” – and made changes to the creed of Special Warfare Combatant Crewmen (SWCC), whose name is presumably also subject to revision itself. This is absolute madness and more prejudicial thought policing of yet another male space!

They deliver their songs with conviction, both writing and singing in a way that just stops short of a final sanding or polish.
ROCKWELL THE MUSICAL
In 1942, illustrators enjoyed celebrity status – and Norman Rockwell was a superstar. He was too old to enlist, but still wanted to do his part, so he volunteered his services to The War Department to paint a series of posters inspired by F.D.R.’s Four Freedoms Speech. Despite his fame, Rockwell was flat-out rejected. They told him: “In the last war, we used illustrators like you. This time around, we want fine arts men. You know… real artists.” Using this episode as a framework, the musical ROCKWELL explores Rockwell’s life, loves, insecurities, and resilience.

Study on EHL Film Thickness of Non-Rectangular Section Vane Seal
The sealing contact pressure is critical in determining the film thickness of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) on the seal. Contact pressure in sealing surface of non-rectangular section vane seal was obtained via FEA, and the polynomial equation of the contact pressure distribution was fitted with regression analysis. Therefore, the numerical model for the EHL film thickness can be developed and solved. Typical results of film thickness distribution and frictional force for the vane seal at room temperature were obtained. The EHL film thickness distributions follow the variation of the related contact pressure, and the sliding speed is also significant on the average film thickness and the hydrodynamic friction.

Backyard fire pits are a popular landscaping feature that add beauty and functionality to your space while creating a gathering area for family and friends. For safety purposes, you should build your fire pit with fireproof material on a flat, level area at least 25 feet away from structures and trees. As styles and shapes of fire pits vary, it is important to research building codes and homeowner associations prior to construction.
Fire pits can be constructed out of stone, concrete pavers, or other materials so long as they are not flammable, porous, or water-retaining building materials. The inner wall must be made of fireproof building materials, and the outer walls should still be heat-resistant, but can be made stone, masonry blocks, and concrete pavers.
It is very important to choose your building materials wisely. Hard rocks like granite, marble, or slate are dense and less likely to absorb water, therefore safer to use when constructing it. Additional rocks that are safe to use are fire-rate bricks, lava glass, and lava rocks. You must choose stones that can withstand high temperatures. Follow these best practices when building a fire pit.
Constructing Your Fire Pit
Select the location and shape. The style and shape (ring or square) will determine the types of stone you will need to purchase.
Mark the site and prepare the area.
- For circular fire pits, pound a stake into the ground to mark the center of the fire pit wall. Tie a string to the stake and also tie it to the can of spray paint you will be using to mark off the outer edge of the fire pit. Pull the string taut (ensuring you do not pull too tight, causing the stake to move) and walk around the stake as you spray your circumference. Dig the space out to a depth of about 7 inches, keeping the ground level. Measure the inside of the fire pit wall and mark off that area using the spray paint.
- For a square fire pit, lay out the first layer of stone for your design on the ground and check the layout. You can use a shovel to outline the perimeter, and then remove the blocks to excavate the land. Pack down the land with a hand tamper.
Build the base. You can add gravel on the compacted dirt (about 5 inches) to create a base for your pit or use a concrete solution. For circular pits using concrete, you would lay the concrete in between the two circles. If using gravel, wet it thoroughly with a hose and use a hand tamper to compact it into a hard layer a couple of inches below the surface.
Lay out the perimeter. For a gravel base, place the stones around the perimeter of the hole, pushing them together, ensuring they are touching. Use a level to make sure the height stays consistent. For a concrete base, mix mortar and shovel it on top of the concrete base for a depth of about 2 inches. Lay then stones around the outside perimeter on the mortar.
- If you are not using an inside wall for a gravel pit, continue layering the stones on top of the previous stones to get your desired look. You will need to add construction adhesive to each layer to bond everything in place (after you have laid out the design). Once the adhesive has been placed, refit the stones, and continue the process until your desired height is achieved. Test fit the fire pit bowl and make sure the lip fits fully on the edge of the top row. The fire pit bowl remains removable, which makes for easy cleaning.
- If you are building your fire pit on an existing patio, you will need to cement the bottom layer to the patio to keep it from shifting. The gravel inside the pit is also not necessary.
Lay out the inside wall. With mortar in place, you can now start placing your inside stone around the inner perimeter of the fire pit. Make sure each stone is level and fill the gaps in between each stone with wet mortar, scraping away excess. Continue this process of building both the outside and inside perimeters, using mortar to adhere each stone to one another. You can use additional stones to fill in any gaps between the two walls.
Spray the stones on the inside of the fire pit with a high-heat stove paint. Fill the base layer inside the fire pit with crushed lava rock or small volcanic ash of about 3 inches. When everything is complete, remove excess mortar.
If you want to add an additional layer of beauty around your fire pit, you can dig out the surrounding area of the fire pit. After the dirt has been removed, add landscape fabric to the area to prevent weeds. Then add crushed stone to make the area fire safe.
At Fieldstone Center, we have all of your stone, masonry, and landscaping needs, including a fire pit with steel ring and grate 4 tier. Our team of experts and dedicated staff are here to help answer any questions you may have. Contact us today or stop by!

LOS ANGELES — A wildfire erupted in Los Angeles’ exclusive Bel-Air section Wednesday as yet another part of Southern California found itself under siege from an outbreak of wind-whipped blazes that have consumed multimillion-dollar houses and tract homes alike.
Hundreds of homes across the L.A. metropolitan area and beyond were feared destroyed since Monday, but firefighters were only slowly managing to make their way into some of the hard-hit areas for an accurate count.
As many as five fires have closed highways, schools and museums, shut down production of TV series and cast a hazardous haze over the region. About 200,000 people were under evacuation orders. No deaths and only a few injuries were reported.
From the beachside city of Ventura, where rows of homes were leveled, to the rugged foothills north of Los Angeles, where more than two dozen horses died at a boarding stable, to Bel-Air, where the rich and famous have sweeping views of L.A. below, fierce Santa Ana winds sweeping in from the desert fanned the flames and fears.
"God willing, this will slow down so the firefighters can do their job," said Maurice Kaboud, who ignored an evacuation order and stood in his backyard with a garden hose at the ready.
Air tankers that were grounded most of Tuesday because of high winds flew on Wednesday, dropping flame retardant. Firefighters rushed to attack the fires before winds picked up again.
They were expected to gust as high as 80 mph overnight into today, possibly creating unprecedented fire danger. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, which uses a color-coded wind index, issued a purple forecast, the most severe, for the first time ever, director Ken Pimlott said.
"They’re going to be extreme tomorrow," Pimlott said. "We need to have everybody’s heads up — heads on a swivel — and pay very close attention."
Before dawn Wednesday, flames exploded on the steep slopes of Sepulveda Pass, closing a section of heavily traveled Interstate 405 and destroying multiple homes in Bel-Air, where houses range from $2 million to tens of millions of dollars.
Many schools across Los Angeles were closed because of poor air quality and classes were canceled at 265 schools today.
UCLA, at the edge of the Bel-Air evacuation zone, canceled afternoon classes and its evening basketball game. Students on campus wore dust and surgical masks.
By late afternoon, firefighters said they had controlled the fire’s advance.

Titusville Murder Persons of Interest Sought "At This Hour"
TITUSVILLE, Florida — The Titusville Police Department continues to build upon its investigation into the murder of 62-year-old Benjamin Wojenski whose body was discovered the morning of December 12, 2012 in his residence on Cherrywood Lane in Titusville, Florida.
While the investigation has moved forward, Titusville Police said in a press release that they are “methodically getting a better picture of what took place and the circumstances surrounding it. Public information has been, and remains, invaluable to us. The Investigation continues and persons of interest are still being sought at this hour.”
Titusville Police say that they believe that there still exist people who likely have information regarding this crime and have yet to come forward or possibly realize their information is valuable.
On December 13, 2012, Wojenski’s white Corvette was discovered by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. The vehicle was occupied by Amanda Lee Blair, age 24, who was arrested by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office on unrelated charges.
Subsequently, a warrant was issued in Brevard County for the arrest of Blair for 2nd Degree Murder and Grand Theft. Blair was then arrested on that warrant.
The Titusville Police Department believes that there are people out there with information pertinent to this investigation. The investigation remains ongoing.
The Titusville Police Department requests that anyone with information about the death of Benjamin Wojenski contact the Titusville Police Department at 321-264-7800. Callers can also provide anonymous tips to Crimeline at 407-423-TIPS.

Online programs at most Maryland universities improved over the past year — some strikingly so, according to rankings released Wednesday by U.S. News and World Report.
Towson University and the University of Baltimore, with their joint master of business administration program, saw the greatest improvement: The joint MBA program jumped 44 spots to No. 62 on U.S. News’ 2015 list of best online MBA programs.
Last year, when compiling its list of the best online programs in each discipline, U.S. News did not distinguish between types of graduate business programs; MBAs were lumped together with other business degrees.
This year, MBAs were ranked separately because, according to U.S. News, prospective students research online MBA programs more than any other type of degree.
The online, graduate-level nursing program at Johns Hopkins University also reached a milestone in 2015, landing at No. 3 on the list, up from No. 24 last year. Hopkins’ nursing program ranked higher than any other online program in any discipline at a Maryland school, and is one of only two that made the Top 10.
The other program to be ranked in the Top 10 is also offered at Hopkins: the graduate-level computer information technology program, which rose eight spots to No. 5 this year.
The University of Maryland, Baltimore County was also recognized for its computer information technology program, which was ranked No. 11 this year.
The rankings only include degree-granting programs that are offered predominately online, which excludes many partially online offerings at Maryland schools.
To compile the list, U.S. News evaluated online programs based on a variety of factors, including levels of student engagement, faculty credentials and the quality of student services and technologies.
The only university ranked in the category of “best online bachelor’s degree” was Stevenson University. However, the Baltimore County institution slipped to No. 167 this year from No. 153 last year.
Engineering programs at Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland, College Park were again ranked highly (at No. 12 and No. 13, respectively.)
And, graduate-level education programs at McDaniel College and Towson University made the list this year (at No. 122 and No. 148, respectively).

Rooftop swimming pool proposal considered for Anderlecht's Abattoir site
The Brussels region is studying the practical feasibility of installing a swimming pool on the roof of Manufakture, the multifunctional food complex proposed for the Abattoir site, the oldest former cattle market in Anderlecht.
The proposal for the feasibility study, presented by secretary of state in charge of urbanism, Pascal Smet and minister-president of the Brussels-Capital region Rudi Vervoort, was given the green light by the capital's authorities this week.
The site is currently home to Foodmet, a food hall with more than 50 stalls selling fresh produce but will be transformed into a new 3,200m² complex featuring food studios, one outdoor and three indoor swimming pools and a 432-space car park building. Preparations for the construction of the Manufakture project are already underway.
The Brussels region sees the construction of this structure as a unique opportunity to plan for the installation of a public rooftop swimming pool, and it has already begun consultations to do so with the other public authorities concerned as well as those at the Abattoir site.
According to Vervoort, the study will assess if the Manufakture site is an appropriate location for this proposed pool.
Pascal Smet believes a swimming pool would fit perfectly in the urban redevelopment plan for this new district. According to Brussels minister Bernard Clerfayt, the feasibility study is an important first step in determining whether such a project is viable, both structurally and financially, in the Brussels region.
The Brussels government has commissioned the Brussels Urban Planning Corporation (SAU) to work on a concrete proposal to study how to install and operate the swimming pool on the roof. A list of criteria has already been set: the swimming pool must bring an architectural added value to the people of Brussels and contribute to the city's influence; the project must be accessible to Brussels residents, innovative, attractive to different types of swimmers, and accessible to schools.
To avoid slowing down the work and keeping all possibilities open, the Flemish Community Commission already decided last autumn to finance the extra costs associated with strengthening the foundations and structure.

2-Phenyl-3-(p-aminophenyl) Acrylonitrile: A Reactive Matrix for Sensitive and Selective Analysis of Glycans by MALDI-MS
- Ling, Ling, Xiao, Chunsheng, Ma, Yao, Jiang, Liyan, Wang, Sheng, Guo, Liming, Jiang, Shimei, Guo, Xinhua

- 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, aldehydes, analytical specificity, blood serum, desorption, detection limit, glycoproteins, humans, ionization, matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry, nitriles, peptides, polysaccharides, tandem mass spectrometry
- Analysis of glycans by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) is usually limited by the intrinsically low abundance and low ionization efficiency of glycans. Aiming to enhance the ionization efficiency of glycans and simplify the sample preparation procedure during MALDI-MS analysis, we reported herein a novel reactive matrix, 2-phenyl-3-(p-aminophenyl) acrylonitrile (PAPAN), for sensitive and selective detection of glycans. PAPAN is a derivative of α-cyanocinnamic acid, which possesses high ionization efficiency in MALDI-MS. The PAPAN can react with the terminal aldehyde of glycans and thereby enable the significant enhancement of ionization efficiency of glycans. As a result, using PAPAN as a reactive matrix, the detection sensitivity for glycans was improved 100-fold compared with that using 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) as the matrix. Meanwhile, the ionization of peptides can be significantly suppressed using PAPAN as the matrix, which allowed the selective detection of N-glycans from a deglycosylated tryptic digest of glycoprotein without any prepurification. Moreover, the PAPAN matrix also endowed the analysis of glycans with enhanced fragmentation during MS/MS analysis, which could facilitate glycan structure interpretation. Finally, PAPAN was successfully used for the analysis of N-glycome in human serum. Thus, a simple, sensitive, and selective method for the analysis of glycans has been achieved by using a novel reactive matrix, PAPAN.


Anti-Macron Protest Rock Paris
Thousands of people demonstrated in central Paris on Saturday amid a heavy police presence to protest against President Emmanuel Macron’s sweeping reforms, a year after he came to office.
Some 2,000 security forces including riot police were deployed as marchers gathered from midday in warm early summer sunshine in the central Opera square for a protest dubbed a “Party for Macron”, a tongue-in-cheek “celebration” of the 40-year-old centrist’s first anniversary in power.
Smaller rallies took place in the southern cities of Toulouse and Bordeaux while the Paris variant kicked off with a mass picnic which drew numerous families.
Organisers had urged participants to attend in a party mood — but the high security owed much to hundreds of black-clad youths having torched cars and a McDonald’s restaurant during traditional May 1 demonstrations in the capital, prompting fears that more “black bloc” protesters could hijack Saturday’s event.
One protester held aloft a placard with the words Mac-ron is disgusting,” a play on words to show his feelings about the president and the fast food chain.

color Laundry detergent – what’s the point in that? There are two Laundry detergents, which should be next to each machine: full Laundry detergents and color detergents. Laundry detergent containing bleach, in order to prevent Discoloration of the Laundry, the well – known “gray veil”. The advertising speaks of “gleaming White”. Unfortunately, the bright colours, the bleach is not good because the color fades in a full detergent quickly. A Laundry detergent that really helps against the gray veil, by the way is always a powder. Liquid detergents contain no bleaching agents.
For colored Laundry there are color color detergent. Here the colours are protected, special additives prevent addition, the Staining of Laundry. In the case of color detergents are more likely to recommend a liquid detergent as powders, white can stay dry strip back.
Big disappointment, gel pad
In the Test, 21 color washing were means tested. 15 cash and cash equivalents, six so-called gel cushions. All the 1.7 tonnes of soiled linen were sent for the Test by the machine, and before that with 32 different stain types such as Grass, jam and lipstick maltreated.

Water/Ocean Cleaning Technologies encompass a range of innovative methods and tools designed to remove pollutants, such as plastics, chemicals, and other debris, from aquatic environments. These technologies are pivotal in addressing the escalating issue of water pollution, which poses significant threats to marine life, ecosystems, and human health. By employing various techniques, including mechanical devices to collect waste, bioremediation processes that use organisms to break down toxins, and advanced filtration systems that capture microplastics, these technologies aim to restore the purity and vitality of water bodies. The industry relevance of these solutions is profound, as they not only contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and prevention of waterborne diseases but also support the sustainability goals of numerous sectors, including tourism, fishing, and shipping, by ensuring cleaner, safer oceans and waterways.
In the rapidly evolving field of Water/Ocean Cleaning Technologies, the role of strategic supplier sourcing cannot be overstated. By securing partnerships with innovative suppliers, companies can gain access to cutting-edge materials and components essential for developing advanced cleaning solutions. This collaboration not only fuels technological innovation but also accelerates the deployment of efficient and sustainable water purification systems. Effective sourcing ensures a steady flow of novel ideas and technologies, driving advancements that tackle the pressing challenges of water pollution. Moreover, it enables companies to stay competitive in a market that demands continual improvement and adaptability, ensuring that the latest and most effective cleaning technologies swiftly reach the areas most in need, thereby significantly contributing to the global effort to preserve our oceans and water bodies.
The future of water/ocean cleaning technologies is poised for transformative development across three key phases: short-term, mid-term, and long-term. In the short-term, we expect a surge in the adoption of autonomous surface and underwater drones equipped with sensors and AI to identify pollutants with greater precision. These technologies will significantly enhance the efficiency of cleanup operations by targeting specific areas of pollution concentration. Moving into the mid-term, advancements in bioremediation techniques will take center stage. Scientists are on the brink of engineering microorganisms and plants capable of absorbing and breaking down pollutants at an accelerated rate. This period will also witness the integration of blockchain technology for better tracking of pollution sources and cleanup efforts, promoting transparency and accountability. In the long-term, the focus will shift towards preventive technologies, including the development of advanced materials that prevent microplastics from entering water bodies. Nanotechnology will play a pivotal role in filtering out contaminants at the molecular level, ensuring cleaner oceans with minimal human intervention. Additionally, significant strides in harnessing natural oceanic processes for self-cleaning mechanisms, such as leveraging currents for the dispersion of bio-engineered cleaning agents, are anticipated. These phases mark an evolutionary path towards more sustainable and efficient water/ocean cleaning technologies, heralding a cleaner, healthier marine environment for future generations.

Valtteri Bottas just edged out Max Verstappen to go fastest on the final day of pre-season testing in Barcelona.
Having been put in the driving seat for the afternoon session, Bottas put his Mercedes on top late in the afternoon setting a 1m16.196 – the second fastest time of testing so far.
But the Finn’s impressive pace was closely matched by Verstappen, who ended up just a tenth of a second slower in his Red Bull, all while using a slower tyre compound.
Getting up to speed
Teams upped the pace as testing drew to a close in Barcelona, with most setting personal best times over the six days of testing before all ten teams take to the track in Melbourne, Australia to begin the 2020 season in March.
And this showed on the time sheets with the top six being separated by just two tenths of a second.
But despite the impressive times, the fastest time of testing so far remains untouched, with Bottas’ 1m15 from the first week of testing proving tough to beat and puts Mercedes as the early benchmark before the first official session of the season is even underway.
Racing point continue to impress
Sergio Perez continued Racing Point’s impressive form by going seventh fastest, with the Mexican just four tenths off today’s best time using medium compound tyres.

Inflation has got many of us feeling anxious about money recently. With the rise of the cost of living, especially in food products, we’re all looking for ways to save money and stretch our food budget. Registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator Julie Hutter has some advice for how to stay on budget and save on your next grocery bill.
Give these five tips a try:
Make a shopping list and stick to it.
Not having a shopping list can result in overspending on unnecessary items and overstocking your pantry with duplicates. So, before your next grocery trip, make it a priority to write down what you need and stick to the list when shopping.
Shop the sale section and make use of coupons
Most grocery stores have a sale section with heavily discounted items that are usually approaching their expiration date. You can make use of these items by meal-batching and freezing them for future use. Just make sure you use them up or properly prepare them before their expiration date. For non-sale items, check out the store’s coupon flyer for extra savings.
Switch to plant-based meals
It’s often much more cost- effective to cook plant-based meals rather than animal-based alternatives. Even if you switch a couple of meals a week, only to plant-based you can notice a reduction in your overall monthly spending. If you’re stuck on finding plant-based meal ideas, browse the many recipes available online at the Kidney Community Kitchen.
Buy ingredients in bulk
You can save a lot of money buying ingredients in bulk such as pasta, rice and flour. Remember to store these ingredients properly and use them up before their expiration date.
Choose larger meat pieces
Opting for bigger pieces and asking the butcher to cut it up for you if needed, will stretch your food dollar. Buying a whole chicken is much more cost-effective than buying legs or thighs only. Not only do you get more meat for your buck, but you can also use the bones to make homemade stock
Although it might feel overwhelming at first, if putting in the work to you carefully plan your meals and grocery trips, you can easily definitely make a difference in your grocery bills. Keep the above tips in mind next time you go grocery shopping and see the difference in your monthly spending!

Hailey Bieber shows off her midriff in a yellow crop top while having lunch with husband Justin… after the singer expressed concern about his wife’s ‘fragile’ mental health
Hailey Bieber flashed her midriff as she stepped out to lunch with husband Justin in Los Angeles on Friday.
The model, 26, wore a yellow crop top with a polo collar for the low-key outing that comes after the singer, 29, spoke out about his wife’s ‘fragile’ mental health.
Hailey completed her outfit with loose-fitting jeans, shielded her eyes with sunglasses and styled her glossy dark brown hair straight.
She slung a small leather bag over her shoulder and sipped an iced coffee as they walked back to their car.
Justin tried to fly under the radar as he pulled up his green hoodie to cover his face while carrying a pizza.
Out and about: Hailey Bieber, 26, flashed her midriff as she stepped out to lunch with husband Justin, 29, in Los Angeles on Friday
Sleek: The model wore a yellow crop top with a polo collar for the low-key outing after the singer spoke out about his wife’s ‘fragile’ mental health
The hitmaker wore light wash jeans with black side panels and white New Balance sneakers.
Justin is said to be devastated by his wife Hailey’s “fragile” mental health, following months of backlash and “death threats” from fans of his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.
After going through intense scrutiny for allegedly throwing shade at Selena, 30, on Instagram, the model recently opened up about going through a “difficult time” with all the negativity online.
In the wake of Hailey’s transparency about her mental health struggles, a source said Us weekly on Friday that “It breaks Justin’s heart to see Hailey struggle emotionally as she has been for the past few months.”
“He loves his wife more than anything and knows she has a heart of gold,” the insider continued.
On Wednesday, the Rhode Beauty founder shared an emotional post on Instagram in which she admitted that 2023 has been the hardest of her adult life so far.
“I like to joke about how I feel because sometimes it’s easier than admitting I’m struggling,” Hailey began.
“But honestly, since the beginning of 2023, I’ve had some of the saddest, most difficult moments I’ve ever had in my adult life and my mind and emotions have been fragile to say the least,” she continued.
Lunch run: Justin tried to fly under the radar as he pulled up his green hoodie to cover his face while carrying a pizza
In January, Hailey received a lot of backlash when she and Kendall Jenner posted a since-deleted video to TikTok lip syncing the lyrics, “And I’m not saying she deserved it, but I’m saying God’s timing is always right.”
Fans of Justin’s ex speculated that Hailey and Kendall were throwing shade at Selena, after which Selena urged her followers to back off when fans posted death threats.
Hailey’s message continued, “And I know so many other people feel the same way I do, so know you’re not alone.
That being said, let’s continue to be there for each other. Let’s be there for loved ones and friends and family and strangers. Let’s just be there for people.. let’s keep sticking up for each other, even when it’s hard. We are better together,’ she concluded.

Because there’s a new documentary screening this week about the Chinese dissident and artist Ai Weiwei, now’s a good time to consider SAAM’s new permanent installation Colored Vases, his first addition to the museum’s collection. Ai has a contentious relationship with traditional ceramics, having famously—or infamously, depending on your perspective—dropped and shattered a 2,000-year-old Han Dynasty urn for a 1995 photo series. It was a shocking and still controversial act, a rupture and repudiation of officially sanctioned history and taste, a slap at the canon and an insistence on the value of the new. (Look what we’re doing now, Ai is saying; new and important Chinese art is being made today.) That gesture had its echo two months before our Colored Vases went on view in April: A disgruntled Miami artist shattered one of Ai’s similarly overpainted Han Dynasty vases to protest the Pérez Art Museum Miami’s privileging an international art-world superstar like Ai rather than supporting local talent. There was a lot of confusion then about the monetary value of the urn, the meaning of both gestures, and the nature of the traveling show Ai Weiwei: According to What?, which sadly won’t visit Seattle.
Our vases, like the broken one in Miami, aren’t inherently precious. They’re old, yes, but Ai was able to buy these earthenware vessels in bulk because there are so many of them, because China has so much history. Our nine vases were sloppily dipped in various bright shades of inexpensive industrial paint. The new has been crudely overlaid upon the old; history is erased, and the action forces you to consider what exactly was there to begin with. And was it in fact so valuable? Ai’s concealing is also revealing, a kind of emperor-has-no-clothes provocation. How many ordinary Chinese factory workers would want such an old, unpainted urn? And how many Chinese billionaires, plus rich Western collectors abroad, would want one of Ai’s signature works? In February, some news reports said the broken Miami vase was worth $1 million, which Ai called “a very ridiculous number.” (He should know, since he bought them all in the ’90s, before he was rich and famous.) Ever the shrewd appropriator of found materials, Ai is the one setting the price on objects both new and old.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un speaks with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia’s Far East on Sept. 13. (KCNA/Yonhap)
The specific outcome of the summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin that took place on Sept. 13 still remains a mystery. As the two leaders neither held a press conference nor released a joint statement or agreement following their meeting, there has only been speculation afterward, and nothing has been confirmed.
The arms deal that was allegedly struck between the two countries remains a big question mark in particular. Rumors that North Korea would provide conventional weapons to Russia in return for receiving food aid and assistance with strategic arms development abounded before and after the summit, but uncertainty persists regarding whether this transaction actually came to pass.
During this process, changes in Pyongyang’s attitude became apparent time and time again. Governments, news outlets and experts around the world believed North Korea would ask for food aid from Russia in order to alleviate its severe food shortage, projecting that Russia would accept this request. Such predictions were based on claims made by the Yoon Suk-yeol administration during the first half of 2023 that the food shortage in North Korea was so severe that many in the country were dying of starvation.
However, it was confirmed that Pyongyang declined Moscow’s offer of food assistance at the recent summit. According to a report by Russia’s TASS news agency on Sept. 17, Russia’s ambassador to North Korea, Alexander Matsegora, told the news outlet that North Korea said that “now everything is OK,” politely declining Russia’s offer citing a “good harvest” this year.
This corresponds with information the Hankyoreh obtained from a source in China in mid-May. At the time, the source said that there was no news of people dying of starvation coming out of North Korea, where the food situation was actually improving.
This is a notable case in point. Outsiders are used to the perception that North Korea starves its residents while the Kim regime obsesses over nuclear advancement despite the suffering economy. Moreover, they have warned that the more North Korea insists on arming itself with nuclear weapons, the faster its international isolation will accelerate.
However, the above case indicates that North Korea is no longer the country it used to be, with its food and economic situations improving and likely to continue to improve moving forward. After announcing its “parallel development” policy in 2013, North Korea spurred self-rehabilitation and self-sufficiency efforts, especially following its eighth Workers’ Party of Korea Congress in 2021. Later this year, the country will open its borders once again and launch trade and economic cooperation with China and with Russia in full swing. North Korea’s internal competence and external environment are both vastly improving.
North Korea’s supposed “international isolation” should also be seen in a different light. Abandoning efforts to improve relations with countries of the West, such as South Korea, Japan and the US is a choice the Kim regime made voluntarily. North Korea’s dismissals of and non-responses to attempts at dialogue made by South Korea, the US and Japan demonstrate this well.
Meanwhile, the country’s relations with China and Russia are at their best since the early 1990s. The situation has shifted greatly from the past, when China and Russia would join in on sanctions against North Korea when the country test-launched ballistic missiles.
How was this possible? As luck would have it, North Korea opted for a “new path” just when strategic competition between the US and China was intensifying, war broke out between Russia and Ukraine, and cooperation tightened among South Korea, the US and Japan.
Then, China and Russia shifted their policy toward overlooking North Korean nuclear weapons from the standpoint of “power balance” rather than nuclear non-proliferation, judging that their ally’s nuclear armament would have the effect of holding the US and its allies in check. Likewise, North Korea took advantage of hostile competition among world powers, volunteering as the world’s strongest supporter of China and Russia when it comes to Taiwan, an issue at the forefront of strategic competition between the US and China, and the war between Russia and Ukraine, which is turning into a veritable proxy war.
Hence, it is more accurate to assess that North Korea chose to cut off its ties with South Korea, the US and Japan while bolstering its relations with China and Russia than to say the country is facing international isolation.
While this may be hard to understand or accept, North Korea is emerging as a formidable player on the international stage. The summit between Kim Jong-un and Putin that drew international attention was the launch site of this new North Korea, demonstrated by the fact that mere estimations that the country would provide conventional weapons to Russia caused such a huge stir, which indicates that the longer the war between Russia and Ukraine drags on, the fiercer strategic competition between the US and China becomes, and the more relations among South Korea, the US and Japan turn into a de facto military alliance, the stronger North Korea’s strategic position will become.
How China will proceed following the North Korea-Russia summit is also drawing interest, as the country’s decision to draw closer with North Korea and Russia just like South Korea, the US and Japan may have significant repercussions.
Conscious of this fact, the US administration of Joe Biden is concentrating its efforts on enhancing communication with China while emphasizing that the country is different from Russia. The Yoon administration is also toning down its censure and criticism of China while working hard to arrange a South Korea-China-Japan summit.
China is maintaining its distance from North Korea and Russia, calling the summit between Kim and Putin a matter “between the two countries” — meaning Beijing is not interested in closer trilateral cooperation with Pyongyang and Moscow yet, even though it still deems bilateral relations with each country important.
How should such a position from China be understood? First of all, it should be noted that one of China’s foreign policy keynotes is “opposition to a new cold war.” This is why the country has been fiercely pushing back against closer military ties among South Korea, the US and Japan, which it believes is bringing about a new cold war. So, if China pursues closer ties with North Korea and Russia, it would increase the risk of the new cold war becoming more entrenched, which China supposedly opposes.
Moreover, China is concerned with the possibility that drawing closer to North Korea and Russia would destabilize the situation on the Korean Peninsula even more by prompting South Korea, the US and Japan to draw even more closer.
There appears to be one more thing China is secretly worried about. If an arms deal between North Korea and Russia becomes reality, the matter would be discussed at the UN Security Council (UNSC). As an arms deal between the two countries would directly violate UNSC resolutions, its materialization would require a response from the UNSC. As Russia has the power of veto, the likelihood of a sanctions resolution passing is nil, but other council members including the US would evidently pressure China regarding its position.
Condemning North Korea and Russia’s weapons transaction would put China in an awkward position regarding its relations with the two countries, but overlooking it would potentially worsen China’s international reputation and relations with the West. Hence, it seems likely that China will express its opposition to an arms deal between North Korea and Russia behind closed doors.
Although China hasn’t shown interest in trilateral solidarity with North Korea and Russia yet, the Taiwan issue, which the country has called its “core of the core interests,” may serve as a significant variable. Stating that they oppose “unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force,” South Korea, the US and Japan have been drawing closer in order to maintain the status quo in the Taiwan Strait by force.
If, at this juncture, the Democratic Progressive Party manages to reclaim power at the Taiwanese presidential election scheduled for January next year, this outcome may greatly influence China’s calculations. While the chances of Taiwan declaring independence and the US recognizing this are close to none, there is a chance of Taiwan continuing efforts toward independence and the US supporting such efforts. China may deem that this would eliminate the possibility of peaceful reunification and shake the foundations of the “one China” principle.
Incidentally, North Korea and Russia are the strongest supporters of China when it comes to the Taiwan issue. This suggests that the more the US rallies its allies to pressure and blockade China, the greater the chance of China making a choice unlike those it has made so far.

The initial effective date of the employer shared responsibility provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) is January 1, 2015. These provisions are often collectively called the “employer mandate.” As the effective date approaches and it becomes less likely that Congress will provide an additional last-minute extension, some employers are considering alternate ideas to strike the right balance among the competing concerns of cost savings, legal compliance, and meeting employee needs when providing employee medical insurance. One commonly proposed solution is to provide employees with cash to help them purchase an individual medical policy on the public exchange. The Department of Labor (DOL) clarified in a FAQ document published on its website on November 6, 2014 that this is not appropriate in a number of situations.
The first situation cited by the DOL is where an employer offers employees cash to reimburse the purchase of an individual policy. This arrangement does not comply with PPACA because it meets the definition of group health plan coverage and is thus subject to applicable market reform provisions (the rules governing what types of plans must be offered). Because there is no way to guarantee that the individual policies purchased by employees would meet market reform requirements, a cash reimbursement arrangement is not permitted.
In addition, the DOL addressed employers’ possible treatment of employees with an underlying health factor that creates the risk of high claims. The FAQ clarifies that employers may not target these employees for a choice of cash or coverage under the employer’s group health plan because such a choice amounts to impermissible discrimination on the basis of a health factor.
Finally, the DOL addressed an option that a number of vendors are marketing to employers. The DOL stated that a reimbursement arrangement set up in accordance with the rules of Code Section 105 is a group health plan that must comply with the applicable market reform provisions. Without a compliant underlying health plan, this type of arrangement is not permitted.
With these guidelines, it appears clear that the safest way for employers to give cash to employees to help with their medical expenses outside of sponsoring a group health plan is to increase their compensation through either base wages or bonuses.

Bombs That Russia Used in Syria In The Fight With ISIS, Some Are Cutting Edge
25-11-2016 10:17am | by Web Desk
Bombs That Russia Used in Syria In The Fight With ISIS, Some Are Cutting Edge In Technology
In the present time Syria has been the center of catastrophe. Being attacked by Russian warplanes and leaving Syria in complete chaos.
On September 30, Russian war planes attacked Syria striking and destroying eight targets around Homs. Then on the 2nd day they continuously hit another five targets vastly damaging Syria. Civilians lived miserably, women and children’s lives are put in total jeopardy.
To date, it was reported that more than half of the Syrian population has left the country, seeking refuge from other countries. And that alone is an entirely new story.
Avian bombs were used in striking Syria, most of these bombs are said to be old dumb bombs because they failed in targeting their real target that greatly put the civilians’ lives at risk.
But recently it was reported that Russia has started using smart weapons inventory against Syria, in it’s aim to kill the ISIS.
The following are the type of avian bombs that were used to attack Syria.
One Avia bomb used is the BETAB-500, it is 2.5m in length and weighs 380 kg. and has a payload of 77 kg.
Another avian bomb is the RBK 500, a kind of cluster bomb that can also be fired on air. The ODAB-500 or a kind of avian fuel-bomb, which also brings nightmare to the people of Syria.
These are unguided bombs that could kill thousands of innocent people in a snap.
Russia today has been one great manufacturer of war weaponries including avia bombs, and top of the line war aircraft’s.
The Sukhoi Su-24 is a supersonic all weather war aircraft manufactured in the Soviet Union. It was produces in 1967 and at this time is still in service to various air forces to which it was sold.
Another aircraft model is the TU-22M, another super sonic maritime strike bomber developed in Tupolev.
Just recently Syria received a SU-24 from Russia under a deal that Syria will soar up their military capabilities in fighting terrorism.
These Russian weaponries are manufactured in TUPOLEV, a Russian aerospace and defense company.
Vladimir Putin and his ministers has been instruments to this world chaos especially in Syria, to their belief in fighting terrorism and serving Russia.
Millions of people have been killed mostly civilians and the number of death toll will continuously rise if this does not end. [mashvideo]

The all-new 2023 Kia Sportage is coming and we have big expectations from it. The new model already had a premiere in October and we presume that the sales will start soon. Fortunately, the new model is already on sale in Europe, so we can get out first impressions regarding ride quality, performance and overall design.
The new model has brought radical changes in many aspects. Of course, the first thing you’ll notice is the styling, which is a significant departure from the previous generation. Also, there is a couple of new hybrid powertrain options, as well as a completely new interior design, which looks very luxurious. The last but not least, the new generation is notably bigger than before, offering way more leg and cargo room than before.
At this point, we are still waiting for the launch schedule but from what we can see, that will happen already in the first half of 2022.
2023 Kia Sportage Redesign
The 2023 Kia Sportage redesign brings a whole lot of novelties. The most notable one is definitely the styling. Unlike the pretty rounded 4th generation, the 5th-generation Sportage brings radically different styling, which is much sharper and which brings a pretty polarizing front end. Of course, the first thing you’ll notice is that pair of futuristic boomerang-like headlights, as well as a massive 3D grille. The rest of the vehicle follows this layout and brings a pretty futuristic look to this compact crossover.
Mechanically, things aren’t that radical. Basically, the new 2023 Kia Sportage shares most of its parts with the already-presented 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The chassis will be the same, though we presume that the suspension setup will be slightly sportier compared to the new Tucson.
Finally, it’s important to mention that the new generation will be notably bigger than before. This particularly refers to the wheelbase, which will be good for 108.5 inches. As a result, the new model will offer way more space inside the cabin, especially in the second row and in the cargo area.
Just like the exterior, the interior of 2023 Kia Sportage also brings significant novelties, even radical. While the previous generation was characterized by a very conservative dashboard design, the new one is pretty much the opposite. It is highlighter by massive screens, which make the cabin look not just futuristic, but pretty luxurious as well. Of course, we are talking about a massive 12.3-inch touchscreen and an equally large digital instrument cluster. Furthermore, the whole cabin is wrapped with quality materials, while the center console comes in a piano black finish with a rotary gear shifter, push-button start and a few more controls.
As we’ve just mentioned, the longer wheelbase brings significant benefits in terms of cabin space. This is particularly notable in the second row, which does not offer 41.3 inches of legroom. Behind the second row, you will find nearly 40 cubic feet of cargo room, which is pretty impressive for a compact crossover.
The new cabin will also come fully loaded with tech features. We already mentioned the new 12.3-inch touchscreen, as well as the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Of course, the 2023 Kia Sportage will also come standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, touch-sensitive climate controls etc. Among upgrades, we expect to find goodies like Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless device charger, 360-degree camera system, and Harman Kardon sound system.
When it comes to safety, all models should come standard with goodies like forward collision warning, pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane keep assist, automatic high beams, parking sensors etc. The list of optional features should include blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert etc.
2023 Kia Sportage Engine
When it comes to powertrain, you may expect the same lineup as in the new Tucson. So, base models will come equipped with a 2.5-liter inline-four, which puts out around 191 horsepower. The engine will come in pair with the new 8-speed automatic transmission. Also, you may count on a couple of new hybrid powertrains, starting from a classic hybrid setup, which combines a 1.6-liter turbo-four and one electric motor, for a combined output of 225 horsepower.
A plug-in hybrid version will also come. It will also feature a 1.6-liter turbo-four engine, but with a more capable electric motor and a bigger battery. The max output should go around 265 horsepower, while we also count on the all-electric range of more than 30 miles.
Finally, we could see a performance version of the SUV, equipped with a turbo-four engine.
2023 Kia Sportage Release Date and Price
The all-new 2023 Kia Sportage already had its premiere and we presume it will hit the market in the first half of the next year. When it comes to the price, base models should go around 26.000 dollars. Key competitors should be models like VW Tiguan, Ford Escape etc.
