No training is necessary for this noncompetitive, inspirational event that raises awareness and funds to fight breast cancer and provides hope to all people facing the disease. The suggested minimum $200 raised by each participant will help the American Cancer Society continue to lead the way in advancing breast cancer prevention, treatment, patient services and cures.
"For the American Cancer Society, pink ribbons aren't just an October occurrence; they're a year-round commitment," said Katherine L. Griem, M.D., president of the American Cancer Society's Illinois Division. "We 'Pink Differently' by helping breast cancer patients in communities across Illinois every day of the year."

The powerful and inspiring Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk empowers everyone to help create a world with less breast cancer and more birthdays, by supporting the American Cancer Society in its mission to save lives. The Chicago area Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks are among the more than 250 events being held across the country this year. More than 30,000 participants are expected at the 16 walks scheduled at locations throughout Illinois in October, which is expected to raise $2.8 million for the fight against breast cancer.
According to the Illinois State Cancer Registry, an estimated 9,850 women in Illinois will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and approximately 1,880 will die from the disease. Funds raised by Strides participants enable the American Cancer Society to save lives by helping people stay well, helping people get well, finding cures and fighting back. The Society helps people stay well by showing them steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer and find it early, when it's most treatable. Despite continuing debate over how often and at what age women should receive mammograms and screening, the Society continues to recommend yearly mammograms and breast exams for women aged 40 and older.
The support and participation of volunteers in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer also enables the Society to help people get well, by providing round-the-clock resources and hands-on support to those facing a breast cancer diagnosis. Strides helps fund programs to help the newly-diagnosed, including the Society's Patient Navigation Services, designed to fill a critical void in health care and social services by acting as a full-service navigator to anyone touched by cancer. The services provided by the American Cancer Society include transportation assistance to treatments; discounted lodging at hotels for patients who need to travel to receive care; insurance coverage assistance; resource matching and referrals; and cosmetic help such as a free wig or headwear for patients who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy. The Society also offers cancer information and access to support groups via its call center, accessible anytime at 800-227-2345, and at its Web site, www.IllinoisCancerHelp.org
Funds raised at the events also support groundbreaking research. While some organizations support only breast cancer research, the American Cancer Society funds research for all types of cancer. Discoveries in one area often yield answers in another, and as a result, the Society has been part of every major breast cancer breakthrough in the last century. In addition, the American Cancer Society successfully fights for laws that increase access to mammograms and treatment for all women to help defeat breast cancer and rallies communities to join the fight.
About the American Cancer Society
The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force with more than 100,000 volunteers in Illinois and millions elsewhere, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer, and countless more who have avoided it, will be celebrating birthdays this year.

Cycle A – “The Child Inside Me”
On planet Earth, the planet of Remembrance, we live through the illusion that we are just a body, trying to cover Survival and Security needs, but that is not our truth. The Truth is that the whole universe is inside us and Divine Creative Energy flows. So, we are Completeness, we are Love, we are Abundance, we are LIGHT.
But why don;t we feel that way? We have simply forgotten how incredible a psychic identity we are in your truth. In other words, we have forgotten that we are an eternal, beautiful, positive spirit and we are stuck in the wounds of our childhood, which also affect our Present as Adults.
In this childhood stage, incurable childhood pains, wrong childhood conclusions and active traumatic childhood experiences happend and are still activated in our field. Through this inner material we are often overwhelmed by strong feelings of anger, criticism, injustice, rejection, fear and insecurity and feel that life is not on our side.
Respectively, in your adult life you may have created protection shields so that you do not get hurt again and behave with selfishness, apathy, coldness, hardness, etc. a. But behind all this, I assure you that there is simply a past experience of pain and the time has come if you choose to be free.
I want you to know that the Universe loves you. The Spirit in Loves. The Guardian Angel loves you with complete acceptance and selflessness for whatever you have done. Just your childhood experiences and impressions, have created a subconscious cassette that plays to this day and makes it difficult for you to take the Responsibility of your Self and life and create a positive reality
As Mercury the Triune has said, “As inside as well as outside.” Through this Spiritual Truth, together we will transform the past painful energy information from your mental, energetic, emotional and material existence. From the vibration you are in, your reality can certainly not change, except through a higher vibration, self-love and positivity and on this we will work TOGETHER with Love and Trust.

I've been writing for years about the odd history of anti-immigration groups -- and they are anti-immigration, not just anti-illegal immigration. Groups like the Federation for American Immigration Reform, the Center for Immigration Studies, NumbersUSA, and others have little in common with conservatives. Now, a new and comprehensive analysis of these organizations details why conservatives should be...
Mrs. Chavez finds the American people unsatisfactory and wants a new country without borders that looks like Mexico or Brazil. The people who worship Hispanics need to go live in a Latin country since that's their desire.
As conservatives debate what to do about immigration reform in the wake of the GOP's disastrous showing among Hispanic voters in the 2012 presidential election, they might consider that the groups they've allied themselves with to date are strange bedfellows.

James Webb Telescope delivers beautiful photos of the Carina Nebula
NASA has released the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope. There are amazing things to see – because they are the sharpest infrared images of the early Universe and thus a stunning glimpse into the past. After the premiere, showcasing the telescope’s first image in a celebratory round with US President Joe Biden, NASA is now showing incredibly sharp, colorful, and high-contrast images of the first-star target. The first pair of images shows the edge of the nearby young star-forming region “NGC 3324” in the Carina Nebula. According to the scientists, the recordings reveal previously obscured regions of star formation
Also known as the Cosmic Cliffs, this region is the edge of the star-forming region about 7,600 light-years away. You have the impression of looking at a rugged mountain landscape, with colored mists and a dramatic impression. Reference images for color determination have been published for this purpose.
Look behind the dust clouds
The infrared technology of the new telescope penetrates the cosmic dust clouds, allowing a “behind the scenes” look – this was not possible before. The scientists are now celebrating the first recordings all the more. Until now, scientists had little data on the influence of the many young and energetic bright stars, but the new images are now changing that.
The James Webb Space Telescope is now revealing stellar nurseries, quickly forgetting all the initial difficulties of the construction and launch phase of the Hubble successor. With the new capabilities of the James Webb telescope, scientists hope to gain insight into the times of the Big Bang. NASA chief Bill Nelson said, “This is just the first image. The images go back 13.5 billion years. And since we know the universe is 13.8 billion years old, we’re almost going back to the beginning.”

What happened on Day 1…
The saga A Quiet Place will expand. Paramount officially announced during CinemaCon that the franchise will be entitled to a third installment, a prequel titled A Quiet Place: Day Onewhich will certainly be translated by Without a Sound: Day 1.
The film directed by Michael Sarnoski (of Pig) will likely chronicle the arrival on Earth of these horrific blind aliens, who then conquered the world entirely, and were discovered in John Krasinski’s 2018 feature film. DayOne will therefore go back in time and expand on the original concept, while shifting the perspective beyond the Abbott family.
This prequel to Without a Noisewhich will be set in the origins of the drama, will be released in theaters on September 22, 2023.
Then, in 2025, we will see A Quiet Place — Part IIIthe direct sequel to the second opus, worn by Emily Blunt and released in 2020.
The next ‘A Quiet Place’ movie is going back to ‘Day One.’ https://t.co/1cQ0ZdrHDG

The Justice through Empowerment Network (JEN) helps South Dakota patients, not just with funding for their abortion, but also with costs associated with transportation, childcare, lodging, interpreters, medications, food, birth control, and the morning-after pill. If a patient is unable to access care in South Dakota, JEN will help them get to another state. We are acknowledging the reality of our situation and partnering with established abortion funds and advocacy organizations to ensure that patients receive the care they need, regardless of location or income.
The Guttmacher Institute determined in 2017 that South Dakota has 7 out of 10 barriers in place that make it more difficult for patients to access abortion. This was before COVID-19. Beginning in April of 2020, the state has no active abortion providers because of travel restrictions in place and it is unknown when they will be able to resume services.
The Turnaway Study found that 95% of abortions patients still felt that having an abortion was the right decision for them over five years after their procedure. The study also found that patients who were denied a wanted abortion were four times more likely to live below the Federal Poverty Level and that there were “serious implications” for both the children born and the children already existing in these families. Additionally, patients denied abortions:
are more likely to experience serious complications later in their pregnancy (including eclampsia and death)
are more likely to stay in abusive relationships
initially report increased anxiety and loss of self esteem
Provide practical support for South Dakota patients seeking abortion care and family planning services. This includes educating the patient, helping them access existing assistance programs, and financially assisting with all aspects related to their procedure, including transportation, lodging, childcare, food, interpreters, birth control, contraception, and additional prescriptions.
Reduce abortion stigma through education and social marketing campaigns. We want to ensure patients in South Dakota know that abortion is a common, safe medical procedure and they are not alone.
Network with other local and regional organizations for a comprehensive grassroots network of support and funding. JEN will be the safety net for patients that have been abandoned by the policies of the South Dakota government.
Everyone deserves access to safe, legal abortion care regardless of their location, income, or life situation. JEN is here to provide financial and emotional support to patients seeking abortion and family planning services in South Dakota.
Many abortion patients are already struggling financially.
Last year, CNBC reported that 60% of Americans wouldn’t be able to cover an unexpected $1,000 financial expense. Now, with current economic hardships resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, patients will need our support more than ever.


Officers have visited at least 16 pubs to warn them of potential atrocities.
Police in London have also beefed up patrols of the Thames after warnings of a terror attack.
And detectives in Scotland have stepped up security at pubs for today’s Scottish League Cup Final clash between Celtic and Rangers, the majority of whose fans are on opposite sides of the religious divide.
But police say the biggest threat is a gun attack in a Catholic pub in Northern Ireland in response to last week’s dissident IRA attacks.
A Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) source said: “There is a serious threat that loyalist gunmen are planning to shoot up a pub.
“Officers have visited 16 pubs in the Lurgan and Craigavon areas. With St Patrick’s Day on Tuesday and the Old Firm game on Sunday afternoon, there will plenty of people out in pubs.”
So far the two main loyalist groups – the UVF and UDA – have resisted a return to arms. But police fear the killings could come from independent gangs who are only loosely allied with the paramilitary groups.
Officers fear repeats of past loyalist revenge attacks like the Greysteel massacre on Halloween in 1993 when UDA gunmen killed eight people in a Catholic pub.
The source also revealed that last weekend’s Real IRA attack at the Massereene Barracks, Co Antrim, had caught them by surprise.
He said: “It came out of the blue. We had thought police officers would be the main target.”
Meanwhile, police have arrested republican Colin Duffy and two others in connection with the barracks attack.
The ex-IRA prisoner, 41, is part of a protest group that criticised Sinn Fein’s decision to back PSNI.
Last night masked sympathisers rioted near his home in Lurgan, throwing petrol bombs and missiles at police.
The other men arrested, aged 21 and 32, were detained after police raids in Lurgan and Bellaghy, Co. Derry.
Two soldiers, Patrick Azimkar, 21, and Mark Quinsey, 23, were killed in the ambush as they took a pizza delivery outside the base. Two other soldiers were injured.
Last night the parents of injured Marc Fitzpatrick, 21, dismissed the Real IRA as “criminals” who would not derail the peace process.
And police continued to quiz three men in connection with the killing of Constable Stephen Carroll, 48, on Monday.

Remember, the anti-Assad forces otherwise known as rebels don’t have aircraft and don’t have bombs that would create craters in the ground. Oh yeah, notice that Russia has not produced their own investigations or conclusions as they pledged to do?
The exact same sort of wheel assembly we saw on the Douma chlorine bombs on the chlorine bomb used in Saraqib! The details of samples taken are interesting in light of the Douma attack, soils samples and samples from the munitions confirm the presence of chlorine, although these were taken close to the time of attack. Here’s samples from Khan Sheikhoun, showing the same three chemicals as detected in the Saraqib attack, all indicators of Sarin use.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — 16 May 2018 —The Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), confirmed in a report released yesterday that chlorine was likely used as a chemical weapon on 4 February 2018 in Saraqib, Idlib Governorate, Syrian Arab Republic.
The FFM determined that chlorine was released from cylinders by mechanical impact in the Al Talil neighbourhood of Saraqib.
The conclusions are based inter alia on the presence of two cylinders, which were determined as previously containing chlorine; witness testimony; environmental samples that demonstrated the unusual presence of chlorine in the local environment; and the number of patients at medical facilities shortly after the incident who showed signs and symptoms consistent with exposure to chlorine and other toxic chemicals.
The Director-General stated: “I strongly condemn the continued use of toxic chemicals as weapons by anyone, for any reason, and in any circumstances. Such acts contradict the unequivocal prohibition against chemical weapons enshrined in the Chemical Weapons Convention.”
The FFM’s report on the Saraqib incident has been shared with States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention. The report was also transmitted to the UN Security Council through the UN Secretary-General.
In response to persistent allegations of chemical weapon attacks in Syria, the OPCW Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) was set up in 2014 with an on-going mandate “to establish facts surrounding allegations of the use of toxic chemicals, reportedly chlorine, for hostile purposes in the Syrian Arab Republic”. The FFM’s mandate is to determine whether chemical weapons or toxic chemicals as weapons have been used in Syria. It does not include identifying who is responsible for alleged attacks. Attribution was part of the mandate of the OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism, set up by the UN Security Council, which expired in November 2017.
The FFM has previously confirmed with a “high degree of confidence” the use of chlorine, sulfur mustard, and sarin as weapons.
The FFM is required to study available information relating to allegations of use of chemical weapons in Syria, including information provided by the Syrian Arab Republic and others. The FFM employs investigative methods to determine if chemical weapons have been used. It interviews witnesses and obtains environmental and bio-medical samples and physical evidence for analysis.
The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons operates according to a strict confidentiality regime, which governs the operations of the Organisation, protects the integrity of its investigations, ensures the security of its technical experts, and determines what information can be made public.
As the implementing body for the Chemical Weapons Convention, the OPCW oversees the global endeavour to permanently and verifiably eliminate chemical weapons. Since the Convention’s entry into force in 1997 – and with its 192 States Parties – it is the most successful disarmament treaty eliminating an entire class of weapons of mass destruction.

Join Tyrone for a cozy evening with just 40 guests in the world class recording studio behind the venue at SPACE. Tyrone will play an acoustic set accompanied by Mark Chipello on percussion, tell stories, and do a meet & greet afterwards. Having just completed a nationwide tour in support of his 2012 release "Where We Meet", performing at large venues and festivals across the country, this is an amazing opportunity to get up close and personal with Tyrone Wells.
There's nothing quite like a fresh start.
Tyrone Wells' fourth full-length album, Where We Meet, ushers in a new beginning for the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter. Not only is it his first full-length release since leaving a major label, it signifies his next evolution. Embracing both sides of his sound, Wells seamlessly balances acoustic vulnerability and pop rock irresistibility over the course of eleven unforgettable anthems. Ultimately, Where We Meet is the perfect place for Wells to start anew while keeping the same ethic that has won him his loyal fan base from his early independent days.
The journey to Where We Meet actually began on the high seas in 2010. He was playing The Rock Boat, an annual floating festival that travels from Tampa, FL to Cozumel, Mexico. Out on the ship in the middle of the ocean, he had an epiphany. With two lauded major label releases under his belt


Do Glocks have a security? This post explains what these guns need to use in regards to security. While they don ‘t have an external safety like a manual security, they do have internal ones. These include a two-stage trigger and a firing pin security. Is A Glock 21 Gen 2 And Gen4 The Same.
Glocks have a security feature
| Do Glocks have a security? While they put on ‘t have an external security like a manual safety, they do have internal ones.}
Glock pistols put on ‘t come with the traditional security functions that most handguns have. Instead, they have a distinct security device constructed into the handle and set off that prevents the weapon from firing if the weapon ‘s trigger safety is depressed. This device is called the SAFE ACTION(r) System, and it operates in a range of temperature levels, from -40 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
While they wear ‘t have an external security system, they do have a safety lever that the shooter utilizes to engage a manual safety lever. The safety lever is one of the earliest active security systems found in firearms.
Gun securities can be found in a number of types, consisting of passive, automatic, and bypassable. The trigger safety prevents the weapon from shooting when the trigger is launched accidentally, while the shooting pin security avoids the firing pin from striking the cartridge. The trigger security is quickly available and works in combination with the firing pin security.
Glock pistols are extremely adjustable, and gun owners have the option to change out sights and sets off. If you ‘re thinking about a Glock pistol, make sure you have an armorer or gunsmith install it prior to attempting to customize it. Is A Glock 21 Gen 2 And Gen4 The Same.
The shooting pin safety prevents the piston from firing when dropped or thrown. When the security is engaged, the trigger needs to be depressed together with the safety. If it ‘s mistakenly dropped, this avoids the handgun from shooting. The security function is especially useful in case of a mishandling.
Another safety function is the decocker. When unloaded, it keeps the hammer in the down position while the weapon is filled and returns to its original position. The decocker is an essential security feature for the Glock firearm, however it ‘s not discovered on all designs. This exclusion is due to the fact that of its design. Without this security feature, the firearm would not operate effectively.
They have internal safeties but no manual or external security
The first thing you need to learn about Glocks is how they are designed. Unlike other pistols and revolvers, Glocks do not have manual or external safetyties. This indicates you ‘re not needed to press the trigger to stop the weapon from firing, which is a significant advantage.
While handbook security is a great feature, it is insufficient to secure you from an unintentional discharge. You still need to understand how to utilize the gun correctly and not drop it accidentally. When you drop a weapon, the natural instinct is to reach out to pick it up.
One of them is the Glock, which has internal safetyties however no manual or external security. That does not make the Glock a hazardous gun.
Glocks are designed with three passive safetyties, including the trigger security. In the occasion of an unintentional discharge, the trigger safety will immediately depress the shooting pin and avoid it from shooting. Is A Glock 21 Gen 2 And Gen4 The Same.
A thumb safety was developed into the frame of the Glock MHS submission, however the Glock 19X did not have one when it was released to the civilian market. As far as manual safeties on Glocks, they are extremely unusual.
The safety on Glocks is not readily available on Poly 80 or Lone Wolf clones, and is just present on the Gen-5 design. This security is available only on Glocks that are black. Those made from other brand names have manual safety. It ‘s the only way to ensure your safety and prevent unexpected discharges.
They have a two-stage trigger
The two-stage security on Glocks is an essential function for numerous factors. Whether you ‘re shooting at the range or in a competition, accidental discharges and hitting the wrong target can be disastrous.
Unlike other handguns with single-stage security, Glocks have a two-stage security on the trigger. And unlike numerous other pistols with single-stage triggers, the G17 trigger feels like it ‘s been upgraded, with just a security plunger polish and a smooth pull to the wall.
Single-stage triggers are the most typical in military weapons, consisting of AR-style rifles. They have very low travel and tidy breaks across thousands of cycles. Single-stage triggers are typically more trustworthy than two-stage ones. They ‘ll generally be much heavier in the very first stage and lighter in the second.
While pistols with dual trigger security are a good choice for preventing unintentional firings, a dual trigger on a Glock is much more helpful. The two-stage safety avoids unintentional firings by avoiding the gun from releasing the firing pin if neither trigger is depressed.
The locking block pin was presented in the third generation. The locking block pin is located above the trigger pin. In addition to the locking block pin, the slide also includes front serrations, which can offer additional tactile traction surface.
Glocks have a shooting pin security that keeps the handgun from mistakenly shooting if it is not drawn. There are three security systems on a Glock – the trigger safety, the shooting pin safety, and the drop security. Each safety system is necessary and must be utilized in tandem.
Because of this, they do not have an external security. A shooting pin safety is created to avoid the firing pin from unintentionally striking the primer, and prevent it from moving forward.
The firing pin security on a Glock pistol acts as a lever and prevents the trigger from being pulled back. To get rid of the security, you require to press the security lever up at the very same time as pulling the trigger.
A drop security on a Glock weapon engages part of the firing pin at the rear. When you pull the trigger, the drop security locks the shooting pin into location. It then moves back to completely cock the pin and launches the trigger. The firing pin will not have adequate force to spark the guide if you wear ‘t shoot, so you should remove the firing pin security or eliminate the drop security in order to fire the gun.
The firing pin safety is a mechanical device inside the weapon that prevents the shooting pin from moving forward and contacting the primer. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger bar pushes the pin safety out.
Is A Glock 21 Gen 2 And Gen4 The Same
In addition to firing pin security, Glocks also have a threaded barrel. Although the basic Glock does not have this feature, aftermarket threaded barrels are readily available. In addition, Glocks are waterproof. They can be fired in water, however bear in mind that saltwater can cause rust to the shooting pin.
Rather, they have a special safety device constructed into the manage and trigger that prevents the gun from firing if the gun ‘s trigger security is depressed. While they don ‘t have an external safety system, they do have a safety lever that the shooter uses to engage a manual security lever. The trigger safety prevents the weapon from firing when the trigger is released mistakenly, while the firing pin safety prevents the shooting pin from striking the cartridge. There are three safety systems on a Glock – the trigger security, the shooting pin security, and the drop safety. The shooting pin will not have enough force to spark the guide if you put on ‘t pull the trigger, so you should remove the shooting pin safety or eliminate the drop security in order to fire the weapon. Is A Glock 21 Gen 2 And Gen4 The Same.

On the heels of The CW renewing virtually their entire Fall lineup of shows for new seasons, and CBS renewing three of their new shows from this season, FOX has announced at the Television Critics Association that several of their own especially beloved programs will be getting new seasons for the 2015/2016 TV season that begins this Fall.
Unsurprisingly, FOX’s new Batman prequel series, Gotham has been renewed for a second season. Despite some mixed critical reception, the show has been a ratings record-breaker for FOX, with Gotham’s pilot being their most watched show debut in 14 years, and the show currently standing as the most-watched broadcast drama between the coveted adult male 18-49 audience in all of television at present, not just FOX. The series centers on a younger, rookie detective version of James Gordon, first beginning his tenure with the Gotham City Police Department and squaring off against the great mobsters and villains that will one day menace Batman, as a young Bruce Wayne realizes his destiny in the shadows.
Gotham will join The CW’s new DC Comics-inspired series, The Flash with its renewal for next television season, with The Flash also being a top show and record-breaker for The CW, and recently being renewed alongside its sibling DC series, Arrow after its massive success. This means that the only DC Comics-inspired primetime network show that remains on the bubble is NBC’s Constantine, which didn’t have new episodes ordered past the initial 13 for Season One, though has been moved to an earlier timeslot for its recent midseason return in an effort to boost ratings and viewership, with its fate undecided for next season.
Another successful new drama that FOX launched just recently is Empire, a new series set amongst a family dynasty in the music business. Empire proved to be a ratings sensation, being the only show this season to see a climb in ratings from its first episode to its second, overtaking Gotham in overall ratings beyond the 18-49 male viewer audience, though Gotham is still in a firm second place overall, and is the preferred drama of the 18-49 male viewership. Due to the huge breakout success of the show, Empire has been renewed already, and will air its second season next Fall.
Outside of FOX’s new dramas, one veteran comedy series has also been renewed. Brooklyn Nine-Nine, a series set amongst the eccentric dealings of an underdog New York police precinct, will return next Fall for a third season. The series has seen a huge climb in viewership and ratings in its currently-airing second season, representing the highest year-over-year viewership growth of any series overall for this season, even beyond FOX.
One fan-favourite drama that has ended up on the bubble however is Sleepy Hollow, which FOX hasn’t yet committed to renewing for the Fall. FOX wishes to make some changes to the show, believing that it needs to be more episodic and less serialized. It would appear that they want to see if this creative change can boost viewership, or if the show has gone as far as it can go for the network. Either way, fans of Sleepy Hollow had best be cautioned that the future of that series is a little more precarious.
Beyond the news of the renewals, FOX spoke a bit about the possibility of reviving hit 1990’s sci-fi series, The X-Files, saying that such discussions had been made, but there are no commitments for a new X-Files series made quite yet. They also re-affirmed interest in bringing back hit action-drama, 24 again, after the huge success and acclaim of its revival miniseries, 24: Live Another Day last year. The next installment of 24, whatever it may turn out to be, may not necessarily star Jack Bauer however, with Kiefer Sutherland expressing apprehension about signing for any new developments in the series. Given that he’s just inked a new contract with Konami and Kojima Productions to be the new voice and motion-capture actor for Metal Gear Solid hero, Snake, that’s probably understandable.
Keep surfing to Eggplante for all news and updates on high-profile FOX shows, including further coverage of Gotham and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Hi, Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. I saw these cute little top note Santa & Mrs. Claus boxes at Gretchen's blog. She is selling the kits to make them, or just the PDF tutorial. I have almost all the supplies so I bought the tutorial for how to make them. They were pretty quick to make and I love how they look. I added some eyelets to the sides of the boxes and added ribbon for handles. I plan to put little tags or treats in the boxes and give as gifts to neighbors and friends this year.

Manaka Ranaka Biography
Manaka Ranaka is a South African actress and media personality with over 20 years of industry experience. A pregnancy had almost stopped her acting career before it started, but the stubborn spirit in Manaka Ranaka would not let her ditch her acting dreams.
With the support of her family, she managed to raise her child while building her acting résumé. Today, she’s a standout figure in South Africa’s acting universe.
She had leapt into the world of acting just after high school, which gave her more industry exposure as well as primed her for the success she’s currently enjoying. She brings so much life to the roles she plays, and fans have taken notice.

Manaka Ranaka has never been married, but she has had her fair share of men. And controversies, too. At some point, one of her friends had accused her of snatching her man and siring her second daughter, Naledi, with him.
Noted for her strong personality, the actress also has a gift of ignoring those she thinks are just out to pull her down.
Manaka Ranaka is the mother of three children – two daughters and a son. Katlego came first, followed by Naledi, with Seni popping as the baby of the house. He was born on 15 December 2020. Before his birth, Manaka Ranaka had made it clear she cared not at all that the sex of the child might be.
When she was pregnant with her first child, Manaka Ranaka was told to abort the child to keep her job, but she refused. Looking back, it is not a decision she regrets
When Manaka Ranaka was a kid, her mother would whip her with cords and belts when she did something wrong. Discipline was so hard that at some point, she thought she was adopted. Now a mother, Manaka Ranaka has an entirely different approach to parenting and discipline. According to her, using the whip on her kids is a no-no.
Manaka Ranaka is als0 a grandmother to one, her first daughter Katlego having given birth to a child at 18. An excited Manaka Ranaka had shared a picture of her pregnant daughter at the time, captioning it Holy Trinity: In the name of the MOTHER, the DAUGHTER and the HOLY SPIRIT.”
Exactly 6 years ago, in 2015, while driving, Manaka Ranaka had accidentally ploughed into Millicent Mbonani, an 18-year-old schoolgirl, killing her on the spot. The case was reported to the SAPS.
According to Manaka Ranaka, the family has forgiven her. However, she says she’s still traumatized by accident. Years later, in 2020, she was reportedly still in touch with the victim’s family.
Born to Kgotlaesele Ranaka (father) and Nonceba Ranaka (mother), Manaka Ranaka has two brothers (Ranaka Ranaka and Mzingisi “Ziggy” Ranaka) and two sisters (Dineo Ranaka and Mpumi Ranaka).
Manaka Ranaka’s acting career began at the age of 21 in 2000. At the time, she had been cast as Nandipha Sithole in the South African flick Isidingo. She realized she was pregnant at the same time and would have gone ahead with her role, but producers gave her an ultimatum to either abort the child or quit. She picked her baby over the role.
She may have missed out on Isidingo, but other opportunities came soon after, and she embraced them. She had been featured on Torong, Rhythm City, On My Birthday, Society, and Drumstruck.
However, she’s most distinguished for her role in Generations: The Legacy. In that flick, she had played the role of Lucy Diale-Makhafola.
Peeps around her might scream all they like about their net worth; Manaka Ranaka would not be caught doing the same. So instead, her focus has been her art. Not surprisingly, she’s highly rated as an actress.
While she wouldn’t comment on her net worth, those familiar with her wouldn’t mind volunteering. Her net worth reportedly runs into millions of rands.

- "Love is Blind" became a cultural phenomenon after the first season premiered in February 2020.
- But season one cast members say they were deprived of sleep and had shoddy sleeping quarters.
- Female contestants complained of cockroaches in their single-room trailer and were moved to a hotel.
"Love is Blind" contestants spoke to Insider about the production's problematic culture, which once extended to their shoddy sleeping conditions.
Since "Love is Blind" debuted on Netflix in February 2020, the show has become a bonafide cultural phenomenon, with 30 million households tuning into the first season, breakout stars and villains, and even a rather unfunny "SNL" skit. But according to Insider's bombshell report, the work culture during production was downright toxic, with cast members regularly required to film up to 20 hours a day. It was an unsustainable work schedule that led to some contestants to fall asleep during dates or try to nap during breaks.
"The sleep deprivation was real," said Danielle Drouin, who appeared in the show's first season. (Drouin got engaged to Rory Newbrough during the experiment, but their story wasn't followed after the pods). "I feel like they do it on purpose because they're trying to break you. They want you on your edge."
When season one cast members were allowed to sleep, female contestants retreated to one single-room trailer they shared, filled with bunkbeds. One season one cast member recalled sleeping on a mattress on the floor, because she was worried about the bunks' sturdiness. Some women also noticed cockroaches skittering around.
"There was no privacy, it was cold, it wasn't comfortable," Drouin continued.
After a slew of complaints, the trailer accommodations were swapped out for hotel rooms, although production assistants were stationed in the hallways to prevent cast members from leaving their rooms during the hours assigned for sleep.
Kinetic Content, the production company behind the show, said in a statement sent to Insider: "The wellbeing of our participants is of paramount importance to Kinetic. We have rigorous protocols in place to care for each person before, during, and after filming." Netflix did not respond to requests for comment from Insider.

One measure of today’s political dysfunction is the inability of elected officials to govern at the margins. For business, immigration is a stark example.
Last year the U.S. Senate passed the “Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act”, Senate Bill 744. Today it sits idle in the House, stalled indefinitely and its meaningful pieces sidetracked by the politics of ‘pathways’ and the status of millions of undocumented immigrants.
It’s unfortunate. Business would benefit from incremental progress on immigration.
The Bill is actually comprised of five distinct parts: Border Security (Title I), Immigrant Visas (Title II), Interior Enforcement (Title III), Reforms to Nonimmigrant Visa Programs (Title IV), and Jobs for Youth (Title V). And it’s here that we’re so poorly served. As a practical matter, business today would benefit greatly if Congressional leaders would set aside the 'status' issue, just for a moment, to find consensus on its other parts. SB 744 passed on a bipartisan basis last year. There are plenty of opportunities to agree.
Senate Bill 744 makes “enormous” investments, according to some, in border security, envisioning a truly staggering 38,405 full-time Border Patrol agents along the southern border and $46.3 billion in initial funding. In 1993, the annual budget for the U.S. border patrol was $363 million dollars.
There's also mechanism's to identify specialized labor. Components of Title II provide immediate relief to employers seeking qualified immigrant help. 744 creates a new “merit based point system with two tracks that award points to immigrants with educational credentials, work experience, and other qualifications.”
Additionally, key reforms in employment-based immigration would ease bottlenecks in current law by eliminating country-specific limits and exempting “highly-skilled and exceptionally talented immigrants” from the worldwide cap, including STEM graduates.
Consider the plight of Colorado manufacturers. A number of factors have contributed to a substantial ‘skills-gap’ in the manufacturing workforce. Last year, nearly 20,000 manufacturing jobs went unfilled in Colorado for a lack of qualified candidates.
Today it’s not much different. Across industries, manufacturers are searching for talent.
Industry will tell you that domestically, we’ve failed to train a generation of manufacturing employees, that there’s simply not a qualified pool of up and coming candidates to replace retiring workers or staff promising new businesses. That we’ve dissed manufacturing and trade careers while offshoring a sizable portion of our making prowess, at the same time we’ve fast-tracked kids into four-year degree programs that are expensive, or ill fitting.
The timing is particularly bad today, as manufacturing is surging. And unfortunately, there is no fast and easy fix. As aware education and policy wonks have become about the skills gap, we’re years away from delivering a steady flow of interested, engaged, qualified workers to industry.
Today Colorado companies and their regional counterparts in Utah and the Mountain West would benefit greatly from the opportunity to access appropriately trained, easily assimilated immigrant labor. The bipartisan Senate Bill envisions this scenario.
Marginal reform, if not comprehensive agreement on the status of Immigrant Visas, would be a boon to business including manufacturers. Debate the 'status' issue; it's important. But reform isn't a single-issue proposition. Make progress.
It’s not too much to ask.

I want to replace the spare with a 33" full size, but LOVE my stock in-mirror backup camera. Ideas?
This is great info! Thanks Wraven! great looking ride too!Granted I have an aftermarket bumper - it gives you an idea.
First the door plate needs to be notched out slightly to allow for the cable.
I pulled the camera assembly plate off and flipped it upsidedown and backwards, and mounted the camera with the screws (there are little ribs on the camera that will only allow it to go in this bracket one way, I used the ribs to provide the proper angle..you could shave them so that the camera is flush but I think the angles would be off for a lifted FJ with this swing arm)
We then drilled a second hole in the assembly plate.
Then we cut out part of the bottom of my center cap to slightly recess the camera for a stealth look (A slow process, just a little at a time!)
Once we got it to the right look we roughed up the inside of the cap as much as possible with a dremel and applied JB weld and two Bolts. Then we placed the camera assembly plate in to line up the bolts/camera properly - let dry for 24 hours.
and what it looks like from my (6'1) view point.
The camera is located in the center cap location. Wrapping the stock rims/most aftermarket in 33" tires won't warrant a change to the stock camera location.Where does it mount? I may be missing something.
Aha. Thanks wraven. Theres the glitch. forgot to mention that I will be replacing the rims too!The camera is located in the center cap location. Wrapping the stock rims/most aftermarket in 33" tires won't warrant a change to the stock camera location.
Once you peal away the trash can lid on your spare you will find a black piece of metal protruding from your center cap area with a silver bolt right on the head of it. Your camera is in that metal housing.
