Another problem with taking guns away, or banning them, is that the government cannot expect everyone to abide by the laws. In past circumstances when guns were banned, criminals were the kind of people that the government wanted to make sure did not have guns. In reality, they were always the ones who still had the guns (Lott). People can say that gun crime is a serious firearm problem, but guns are not always the exact cause of the crime. Even if the government tries to deny groups access to guns, they could still find their way around the law and gain access to one
This adds more and more to my reasoning of just banning guns from unworthy people completely. Since the second amendment is not applied daily to all citizens, this indicates it is fully flawed and shouldn’t have to take people dying in order to change our unfair system. Most of the time -if not always- your skin tone defines how situations are handled for you. In certain cases of mercy, colored people don’t get into as much trouble but aside from that, people with a lighter color of skin are found hardly ever guilty of crimes they wrongfully
More specifically, I believe that gun violence will always be an issue whether they are banned or not. If someone plans on hurting someone, they will not care about rules. For example, Guns are very easy for people to buy, but how is the seller going to know what they plan to do with it. It is not like they are going to say that they are going to kill someone with it. Therefore, I conclude that banning guns is not worth it because people who want to use them for negative reasons will even if they are banned.
We are unable to tell whether Seung-Hui Cho's act of the mass killings could have been stopped but what we do know is that strict gun control laws do not always have the effect that lawmakers want to see. Having guns in the right hands can be influential in stopping crime and having fewer guns in the wrong hands can make for more crime. Therefore, this makes gun control not equivalent to crime
In addition, the amendment has no restricts when it was created so it should be given restricts. One argument against gun rights is that the amendment was written in a different time for weapons like muskets. Eliminating our rights shouldn’t be allowed, but adding more restricts to what we can do is exceptional. The Second Amendment states that people are allowed to carry concealed weapons meaning that they are concealed. Someone wouldn’t be able to steal something they can’t see removing the concerns of a violent act happening.
Banning Guns Will Endanger Law-Abiding Citizens Gun control has been an idea since the 1800s, Gun regulations can be good and bad. History has shown that banning firearms from the populace led to disaster and civil unrest. ¨We the People¨ in the United States are very divided when it comes to dealing with gun control and regulations for gun ownership. Banning guns increase fatalities, decreases personal protection and safety, and prohibits citizens from their constitutional rights. The 2nd amendment of the United States is ¨The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.¨ This statement plainly states that every American has the right to bear arms, there are no other possible interpretations of this amendment that make any logical understanding.
W. Bush said “Law enforcement officials cannot place themselves above the law that they are sworn to defend.” OTHER - The police are, and always haves been, the protectors of our freedoms- we need non corrupt officers to be able to do that - It is such a big issue, that October 22 has been named the National Anti Police Brutality Day - Some policy officers take advantage of the power/authority they have - In many cases citizens have not taken legal action against the corrupted police which is necessary for an overall end to the brutality to be achieved - The law states that we are innocent until proven guilty not guilty until proven innocent - Cops receive an unfair favorable treatment when it comes to not getting indicted - Police generally believe and act as if they are above the law COUNTERS - Counter argument 1: but the police are our authority and they are just trying to protect us? They are using excessive force when it is unnecessary and this is more harmful than
School safety is an ongoing debate in America and the question of, are schools safe, will never go away but, what could be done to make it a less prominent or less talked about question. Some say that we need more law enforcement in schools, some say we should get rid of guns, and others may say that we should simply make it harder for the wrong kind of people to get guns. I feel that we should have to take a class (much like a hunting or drivers license) and a test annually in order to own guns. Many people would like a world where guns are completely banned or outlawed. While this may work on paper, you can’t deny that if we were to outlaw guns then only criminals would have them thus leaving the non-criminals defenseless.
People who don 't believe in the need of stricter or new laws concerning guns argue that owning a gun doesn 't cause a crime, it deters it. Guns are necessary for protection and to be able to defend oneself and their family in case of attacks because the government isn 't able to take care of every individual, in conclusion there’s no other way to guarantee one’s safety but to arm oneself. If the gun laws were different and if it was harder to buy these kind of weapons, criminals would find other ways to arm themselves, people argue, consequently it is necessary for ones safety to be able to own a gun. After all, its not the gun that kills people, people do. The question many people ask themselves is if people would stop killing themselves
First and foremost, banning guns will not stop criminals from obtaining and committing crimes with them. Furthermore, guns don’t kill people; people kill people. Lastly, guns prevent the government from becoming tyrannical and oppressive. At first, one may think that banning guns would be a superb solution to the growing problem of gun violence. However, doing this will not stop felons from procuring and committing gun-related crimes.

SOUTH SALT LAKE — The city's Chamber of Commerce recently installed a new chairman of the board.

K-9 dog targeted by more lawsuits
|April 23, 2001|
(ALBUQUERQUE) – Three women have filed suit against the Albuquerque Police Dept. claiming that they were permanently scarred by the same K-9 dog.
The city has already settled one suit involving Officer Andrew LeHocky and his Belgian Malinois, Bart. The same lawyer, Sam Bregman, is representing two of the new claimants.
Bregman said that in these attacks Bart mauled women who were unarmed and no threat to LeHocky or any other officers. One woman was inside an apartment during a drug raid, another was a passenger in a car pulled over by police and the third was in a schoolyard where another teenager fired a gun in the air.
The suit claims that the city has failed to follow through on pledges to improve its training of K-9 officers and dogs. LeHocky, who, with his dog, was named the department’s Officer of the Year in 1999, has transferred out of the K-9 unit.

Funny books are always in high demand. Who doesn’t like to laugh? Of course, humor is very subjective, so what one kid finds hilarious can be utterly lame to another, but here are some humorous books that have been loved by many of our Diary of a Wimpy Kid fans, plus others with a different brand of humor.
I’ve already written here about Tom Angleberger’s The Strange Case of Origami Yoda. That book and its sequel, Darth Paper Strikes Back, are pretty much guaranteed to be appreciated by anyone who likes the Wimpy Kid books. Angleberger has another book, not part of that series, called Horton Halfpott, or, The Fiendish Mystery of Smugwick Manor, or The Loosening of M’Lady Luggertuck’s Corset, that will likely also appeal.
My Life as a Book by Janet Tashjian centers on a kid who doesn’t like to read trying to solve the mystery of his former babysitter’s death while she was watching him. The cartoons in the margins provide some lightness and humor, and the mystery adds some emotional weight.
Another book about a kid who hates to read, Charlie Joe Jackson’s Guide to Not Reading (by Tommy Greenwald) follows a middle school boy’s exploits as he attempts to get by in school without ever cracking a book. Funny and fast-paced.
Time travel? Check. Aliens? Check. Two kids trying to save the world? Check. Herbert’s Wormhole by Peter Nelson has all of these, and more.
Micheal Buckley’s NERDS
series (about the National Espionage, Rescue and Defense Society, populated by superhero spies who have gone undercover into middle school) has an interesting dilemma. Kids who are reading these books LOVE them, but there is a bit of reluctance to initially check them out because of the title. It’s funny, because once one kid takes the plunge, that whole class will happily check them out and talk about them and speculate on when the next one is coming out. Fast, adventurous, and very silly.
The Fourth Stall
by Chris Rylander is the goofy, suspenseful story of how a kid named Mac’s bathroom-stall business (he helps protect little kids from bullies; get underage kids into R-rated movies; sells test answers–pretty much anything for a buck or two) gets complicated when he goes up against a big bully with a gambling ring. Kids get hooked right away by the whole idea of a shady business run out of an unused school bathroom stall, and the suspense over what Staples (the big bully) will do next pulls them through.
(by Frank Cottrell Boyce), 12-year-old Liam looks like an adult and ends up in various funny, odd situations as a result (test driving a car, for example). His ability to pass as a grown-up is all good fun until he ends up being the only “adult” on a spacecraft full of kids that is off course and heading for disaster. This novel is far-fetched, for sure, but great fun to read.
Anything by Daniel Pinkwater. Pinkwater has a quirky sense of humor, so he’s the sort of writer one either loves or hates. I have met adults who say that reading his books when they were kids changed their lives. Check out The Neddiad
and/or The Yggyssey
for a middle-school-friendly taste of Pinkwater’s odd, goofy writing style.
It occurs to me, looking at this list, that all of the protagonists are boys. That’s not right! I think they are books that will appeal to both boys and girls, but I don’t like having a post with that imbalance. So, coming soon: a post on funny stuff with girl protagonists. If anyone has suggestions of titles for such a post, please send them along!
I also apologize for the awful layout of the images/text here. If anyone can tell me how to fix that, I’m anxious to hear it!

Put ‘Haunted Painting’ from Philly indie rocker Sadie Dupuis on your Halloween playlist
Dupuis, who records as Sad13, has a haunting new album that deals with memory, grief, and obsession. She spoke with The Inquirer about the painting that inspired it, and more.
When Sadie Dupuis found herself in a Seattle museum in 2018 looking at German artist Franz von Stuck’s 1902 oil painting Saharet, she saw something she didn’t expect.
“It’s a just a portrait of a dancer, but there’s something very captivating about her expression,” says Dupuis, the Philadelphia singer-guitarist who has just released Haunted Painting, her second solo album as Sad13.
“It’s a beautiful portrait and she’s a beautiful person, but there’s just something very mysterious about it to me,” says the 32-year-old musician and poet, who also leads the indie rock band Speedy Ortiz.
“Part of the reason that I hadn’t worked on music in the couple of years leading up to starting this record was my dad passed away, and I lost a lot of friends to overdose,” she says.
“And just not knowing how to process that and obsessing over it, there was something about the way that portrait looked. I saw some of myself in it.”
In Saharet, von Stuck’s dancer is portrayed with ghostly pallor and an enigmatic smile. The gold-framed painting became the inspiration for the simultaneously spooky and quite catchy Haunted Painting (Wax Nine ***), an 11-song collection whose album cover is a portrait of Dupuis by her mother, Diane Dupuis.
“Having that moment of self-recognition kind of helped me find a way into working and writing my way through these obsessive feelings and thoughts,” says Dupuis. A timed-to-Halloween animated video for “The Crow,” one of Haunted Painting’s most powerful tracks, launched Friday, along with a new NPR Tiny Desk (At Home) performance video in which she and her bandmates appear in costume.
From New York City to Philly gritty
Dupuis grew up in New York, and studied math and music at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before transferring to Barnard College and going on to get a MFA at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
There, she wrote the poems in the 2018 collection Mouthguard, which she said at the time were written “as self-surgery, extracting darkness from myself before it grew, revealing my icky insides to myself.” (She now edits a monthly poetry journal, which she publishes through her Wax Nine record label.)
She also toured steadily fronting Speedy Ortiz, which released Major Arcana in 2013 and Foil Deer in 2015. Coming off the road and finishing grad school, she was through with the academic bubble: "It was time for me to go back to the city.”
Living in New York would have meant “my bedroom could hold my bed and that’s about it,” she says, and Dupuis needs room. On Haunted Painting, she’s credited as playing 18 instruments, including guitar, bass, organ, lap steel, glockenspiel, electric sitar, autoharp, theremin, and “toys, trash, and ephemera.”
So she gave Philly a try early in 2016, subletting a friend’s Fishtown apartment while writing and recording the first Sad13 album, Slugger.
“I had a lot of friends in Philly and I always enjoyed coming here on tour,” she says. “It’s just nice to be in a city where a lot of artists live, and I can have a little bit more space.”
She cemented her status as a Philadelphian during a 2018 Speedy Ortiz tour date at Union Transfer, opening for her songwriting hero Liz Phair, now a close friend.
Dupuis said her song “No Below” was “a love letter to Gritty,” the Philadelphia Flyers demonic mascot. “I’m officially dating him,” she proclaimed.
Memory, grief, obsession
She first saw the von Stuck painting when she was invited to Seattle for a poetry festival in June 2019. It gave her the framework for Haunted Painting songs like “Ghost (of a Good Time)” — about missing out on frivolous fun — that are peppy and playful on the surface with darker stuff bubbling underneath.
“Memory and grief, and obsession over those two things, is the through line.” she says of the album. She is donating $1 of every sale on the music site Bandcamp to Prevention Point, the Kensington-based public health organization and needle exchange.
“Those are sort of the big things, trying to work though loss and letting go and also engage with the past in a way that doesn’t have to feel completely hard. Sometimes it’s nice to sit in your memories of people that you’ve left behind.”
Dupuis worked up the songs at home, and then took them into the studio at various locales around the country, working only with women recording engineers.
“Men comprise 98% of engineers,” she says. “But I worked with six amazing women who engineer and mix and produce, and any one of them could helm a huge record. I wanted to work with friends and people I admire, but also start shifting that in my own discography.
"If I’m going to be hurt that only 2% of audio engineers are women or nonbinary, my own discography should make some effort to change that,” she says.
Dupuis wrote “The Crow” after a recording date in Los Angeles at the late songwriter Elliott Smith’s New Monkey Studio. The next day she learned that another beloved hero had died, the Silver Jews and Purple Mountains songwriter and poet David Berman.
“Who dares find joy in this terror?” a lyric asks. It’s written about a pre-pandemic personal loss, but one that resonates with the collective 2020 grief.
That’s particularly true this week in Philadelphia, Dupuis said, as protesters have filled the streets in response to the police killing of Walter Wallace Jr. on Monday, blocks away from where she lives in West Philadelphia.
“Sometimes it feels endless, and it’s hard to know whether art is a good use of time,” Dupuis said. “It can distract you temporarily. But yeah, it’s very hard to be in this world right now.”
With “The Crow,” Dupuis felt that making art was the one necessary thing she had to do to deal with her grief.
“I never felt possessed working on a piece of music before,” she says. “I was having trouble sleeping if I wasn’t working on it. I haven’t felt so engrossed in trying to get something done in my whole life.”

Dagenham pizzeria pays up £1,000 for failing to prove proper waste transfers
- Credit: Google
A Dagenham pizzeria has been ordered to pay more than £1000 for failing to prove it was properly transferring waste.
Abdul Mohammadi, who ran Moon Pizza in Broad Street, failed to hand over waste transfer notices — documents recording the transferral of recycling and general waste — during an inspection in July last year.
After Mohammadi explained he had recently shown the council the notes, inspectors served a formal notice requesting of evidence of how the chicken and pizza takeaway shop disposed of its commercial rubbish, and to provide notes for general, recycled, cardboard and cooking oil waste for the previous two years.
He failed to produce the documents within the required two weeks, and was granted a further seven days to produce the evidence.
One month later, the council received an email containing the waster transfer notes — though records were incomplete and contained gaps in the transfer periods, as well as some notes incorrectly filled in.
The company was issued a fixed penalty notice of £300 in September, which Mohammadi did not pay.
He appeared at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on Friday, April 13 accused of an offence under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
- 1 Barking Market extended to 'ease antisocial behaviour'
- 2 Dagenham mum says council is 'neglecting daughters' health'
- 3 Dagenham pub to host inaugural local Christmas fair
- 4 Thousands watch Barking Christmas lights switch-on
- 5 Plans to cut up to 600 Tube station jobs amid TfL 'funding crisis'
- 6 Festive events and family days out in east London this weekend
- 7 'Devastated' friends need £36k to help mum with bowel cancer
- 8 Student nurse charged with alleged rape
- 9 'It's the right time': Dame Margaret Hodge on not seeking re-election
- 10 Councillors visit Ben Kinsella Trust anti-knife crime exhibition
He pleaded guilty to the charge even though he believed he had supplied the relevant documents.
The court fined him £300 along with issuing a two-week collection order, ordering him to pay £696 costs to Barking and Dagenham Council and other fees totalling £30.
“Whether you are a business or a resident, it is vital that that you take the right measures to dispose of your waste properly,” said Jonathon Toy, the council’s operational director for enforcement services.
“Waste and fly-tipping are some of the biggest concerns raised by our residents and we will take the strongest possible action against those who cannot follow the rules on waste disposal.
“We always encourage local businesses in the borough, but we have to take a zero-policy approach against anyone who continues to break the rules.”
Another restaurant, the Lekki Lounge in Porters Avenue, was fined more than £2,000 in similar circumstances earlier this month.

Stanton returns as Cardinals host Manning, Giants
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Quarterback stability.
The New York Giants have had it for 14 straight seasons, save for one embarrassing week earlier this month that ultimately cost their head coach and general manager their jobs. The Arizona Cardinals have had it for brief stretches, but never long enough to be completely satisfied.
The Giants (2-12) and Cardinals (6-8), who meet Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium, could both be in the market for new starting quarterbacks this offseason.
Each franchise will have an adequate first-round draft pick at their disposal should they choose to use it on a quarterback. As things stand at the moment, the Giants will hold the No. 2 overall pick and the Cardinals will draft just outside of the top 10.
After essentially being benched in Week 13 by then-head coach Ben McAdoo, Giants quarterback Eli Manning strongly considered asking for a trade. Manning relented, and McAdoo and general manager Jerry Reese were fired shortly thereafter. But it was an unsettling series of events that has left a lingering foul mood within the organization.
"It wasn't anything anybody really wanted to go through," Giants interim head coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "Two weeks ago, it was a shock to everybody. I prayed that morning that something like that wouldn't happen, but it did."
Manning's streak of starting 210 consecutive games, the second-longest such streak in NFL history, came to an end when McAdoo, in a wildly unpopular move, decided to see what he had in backup Geno Smith against the Oakland Raiders. Since returning as the starter for the past two weeks, Manning has thrown for 662 yards and four touchdowns in losses to the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles.
"Yeah, I know that wasn't easy, but he's a true man of character, a true pro in this profession," Spagnuolo said. "Never wavered one bit when he went through the week where he wasn't playing. He actually took scout team reps. It was just amazing to see a man of his stature and what he had been through respond the way he did.
"Then he became the starting quarterback again and he responded well in the Dallas game. I thought he played real solid and then last week, I thought again, against a really good defense. I thought he engineered some great drives, was very patient at the end of the half in the two-minute drill and at the end of the game, and we were just shy one play of beating the Philadelphia Eagles."
Manning has two years remaining on his contract, but there is an out option that can be triggered and it is thought a handful of teams might be interested in acquiring him in the offseason.
The Cardinals, who were officially eliminated from playoff contention following last Sunday's 20-10 loss at the Washington Redskins, are playing musical chairs with their starting quarterback for this game. Blaine Gabbert, who started the previous five games, has been benched in favor of Drew Stanton, who was 1-1 as the starter before suffering a sprained right knee in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks.
According to coach Bruce Arians, Stanton's knee isn't completely recovered and he's still in a fair amount of pain.
"But his mobility is back," Arians said. "Hopefully, we get a little better execution. He can help -- not that Blaine couldn't -- but he can help a lot of guys out. ... Drew's one thing: He's as steady as they get."
Perhaps Stanton can help the Cardinals end their touchdown-less streak, which has stretched to 10-plus quarters of football. They haven't scored a touchdown since Gabbert hit Larry Fitzgerald for a 15-yard touchdown with 3:25 left in the first half against the Los Angeles Rams three weeks ago.
Stanton said there isn't any specific reason for why the Cardinals can't get into the end zone.
"I think you sit there and you look at it, and it's a play here or something missed there, a miscommunication," he said. "There are so many things, and I think that you're so focused on what you're trying to do that drive that you don't even realize that. Maybe on the outside, it's more glaring of what's going on as far as touchdowns. But, from our standpoint, we always come in and talk about certain goals that we try and reach.
"Each week, we try and be productive in certain areas. Sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn't."
The Giants haven't finished a season with just two wins since 1973 and '74, when they went 2-11-1 and 2-12, respectively. If they hope to pick up win No. 3 on Sunday, they're going to have to try to find a weakness in an Arizona defense that has been dominating for the past six weeks.
Dating to Week 10, the Cardinals' defense ranks first overall in fewest yards allowed (264.7), first in pass defense (183.7) and third in run defense (81.0).
Coincidentally, New York's offense erupted last week against the Eagles with its most points (29) and yards (504) since the 2015 season.
"A lot of weeks you have great plans, but I really liked what we had and it just got set up well," Manning said. "Sometimes you have those days where you get the right calls versus the right defense and you feel good about what's going on and we were able to execute it and guys went and made the plays. I knew I could still throw it and I can play at a high level and run this offense."
If the Giants can repeat that type of effort in Arizona, site of their last Super Bowl win, they should be able to snap their four-game losing streak. The Cardinals' offense, after all, has mostly been relying completely on field goals from Phil Dawson.
"I know one thing -- Bruce does a great job there. His offense is still a tough one to defend," Spagnuolo said of Arians. "He knows how to attack a weakness. I see some of the Pittsburgh Steelers stuff that he used to do, and defensively, I've always admired what they did on defense, being disruptive and heavy with pressures, and I've always respected what they did there."

This is a variation on #1. I was short on spinach and frozen banana slices, so I improvised with an avocado, and it wasn’t too bad.
- Around half a banana, sliced and preferably frozen
- Around 10 ounces faux milk (oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, …), preferably unflavored/unsweetened
- Big wad of organic peanut butter without added sugar
- Roughly 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- A bunch of chia seeds (I just dump some in from the bag, but I suspect it’s around 1 or 2 teaspoons)
- A little bit of spinach
- 1 small avocado, peeled and pitted
I used a combination of oat milk and almond milk. I started with 8 ounces, which turned out not to be quite enough, so I added some more to get an estimated 10 ounces. I sliced the avocado in half, removed the pit, and scooped the fruit out with a spoon into the blender. The resulting smoothie had more of a milkshake-like consistency than most of my others. I ended up with some peanut butter stuck to the sides, which I wish I could figure out how to avoid, as it happens a lot. The smoothie tasted pretty good, and was very filling.

We have had the opportunity to test the Tenda AC1200 A18 WiFi signal extender. A gadget that allows us to expand the area of influence of our wireless connection, thus providing service to mobiles, tablets, computers or game consoles that do not have a signal. A small device that costs 35 euros and that only needs to be connected to a socket. In this way, it creates a new WiFi network from the one you already have to bring the connection to the dead zones of the home or office.
The operating companies do not always take the user's side when installing the router. On many occasions, the rush or the lack of professionalism of some workers cause connection dead spots in our home or office . Places where it is impossible to connect to the WiFi network because the signal is weak because it is far from the WiFi router. Or because they are tiled and very isolated rooms that weaken the wireless signal. One of the most feasible and inexpensive solutions without the need for installation is the one proposed by Tenda with its extender.

Quick Start Guide
Guide to reading LED signs
One of the key features of our experience with the Tenda AC1200 A18 extender has been installation. And is that anyone can buy one of these devices and carry out the entire process in just 5 minutes . Of course, there is an added difficulty that consists of the language. The process of configuring the extended network is in English, although the steps are recognizable by any Internet user, since they consist of giving a password to the device, choosing the network to be extended and that's it. However, we find the first reproach in that there is no translation button or instructions in Spanish so that anyone can follow the steps without problems.
Apart from this the process is really simple. Simply connect the extender to the power, making sure that it is located at a point halfway between the WiFi router from which it will take the signal, and the area without coverage that you want to cover. In our case we have not had any problem as it is a long home in which the router is installed at one end. However, if there is a problem identifying the best place, the extender itself offers a simple solution: its LED light indicates in blue tone if the position is correct to receive enough signal to extend it. Or in yellow if it is necessary to plug the Tenda AC1200 A18 closer to the router.
Once we have placed the device in the socket and the light has indicated that everything is ready, it only remains to make a small configuration. That one in English. To do this, from the mobile itself, we can connect to the Tenda network created by the device and open a web page . A screen appears automatically to enter a password for the device. Afterwards, a list of available networks appears to select our own connection. By entering the password of the original WiFi router and clicking on the Extend button, the signal extender already begins to operate.
In our case, it has recreated the double band of the original connection. That is, an extended normal network and an extended 5G network . With this, it only remains to connect to these extended versions using the original WiFi password. And voila, the places without coverage are covered, and the weak signals stabilize.
Speeds and experience
Now, if what worries you about this method of reaching the coverage areas of your home is the speed reduction or the stability of the line created, the Tenda AC1200 A18 more than delivers. In our experience we have found that, obviously, thanks to its two antennas the coverage area reaches further and with more power. However, we did notice some reduction in speed . Something almost anecdotal.
From the bathroom of the property where we have tested the extender, where the tiling and the remoteness prevent a stable connection, we have verified that we enjoy practically 80 percent coverage . With the extender we have gone from a poor signal (-80 dBm) to an almost totally good (-60 dBm). But, as we say, the download speed is slightly affected. In this case, with a symmetric 50 MB contracted, we have verified that of about 43 MB offered by the original WiFi router, they are reduced to 37 MB. For its part, the upload speed remains unchanged at 25 MB. A fact that is hardly noticeable in the experience of using the mobile device, since it sufficiently covers the needs to receive and send messages, watch YouTube videos or any streaming service without interruptions.
The good news is that you just have to keep the extended network saved as if it were just another home network. In fact, the Tenda AC1200 A18 creates (recreates) two WiFi networks with the letters EXT . This way we will know if we are connected to one or the other (2.4 or 5 Ghz), always making use of the same connection, but with better performance depending on the case and the place.
Wireless and wired connection
Another point in favor of the Tenda AC1200 A18 is that it has both WiFi and LAN or cable connectivity . Its two steerable antennas allow to transport and extend dual band connectivity: 2.4 and 5 Ghz in a stable way. So it not only offers more coverage, but all the speed and a stable connection that does not fluctuate or constantly drop.
But it also has an RJ45 port. In this way, if we want to bring the Internet connection to a device without a WiFi antenna such as a desktop computer, for example, we can also do it by cable. Simply run a cable from the range extender to the computer's Ethernet port. And voila, the connection is practically the same as if the computer were connected to the original router.
Price and reviews
In short, the Tenda AC1200 A18 more than meets what it sets out as a product. It is really easy to install, either through the mentioned system or through the WPS button . Its design is not exactly discreet, but its size is small and it can stay behind a piece of furniture or look like a curious air freshener. All this to extend a few square meters the coverage of our original router. And do it, in addition, in a stable and fast way, with dual band and with 11ac connections without the need for any type of configuration for experts.
Now, in our experience we have found a couple of negative points. On the one hand is the configuration interface, which is not in Spanish . Although the boxes to fill in and the steps to follow are well marked for any average Internet user. On the other hand, there is the subtle speed reduction, something logical since it is a mere extender and not a whole router that enhances the signal. Something that in our tests has been practically anecdotal .
The Tenda AC1200 A18 is available for sale in stores such as Amazon for 35 euros .


What is the rocker cover gasket?
The rocker cover gasket (also known as the valve cover gasket) is an important but often overlooked engine component. Its role is to hold the rocker cover in place, protecting the engine cylinder head and preventing oil from escaping your engine.
The rocker cover gasket is made from rubber or durable plastic and is positioned above the engine cylinder head to prevent oil leaking out of the engine’s valve cover.
What happens when the gasket is damaged or leaks?
The rocker cover gasket is frequently exposed to high temperatures. This means that it can become brittle and eventually loose its gasket sealing abilities. Sometimes it can even crack. A hardened, damaged, under or over tightened or broken rocker cover gasket will result in oil leaking out of your engine and often all over the rest of your engine and engine bay. Very often this oil will also leak directly onto your engines hot exhaust system which is very dangerous in terms of the fumes and fire risk.
What are the symptoms of a leaking rocker cover gasket?
There are several symptoms which you can use to identify a leaking rocker cover gasket. These include:
Visible oil leaks – You may notice oil leaking from underneath your vehicle’s engine bay.
Burning oil smell – If oil is dripping onto your exhaust, it will burn, producing a noticeable smell.
Engine running hotter – If enough engine oil leaks out the engine may begin to run hotter, and if the engine oil gets too low the engine may start to seize up. If you engine seizes up it is generally more cost effective to put a second hand engine from a car wrecker / dismantler than to recondition your seized engine.
How important is a rocker cover gasket replacement?
Oil leaking from the engine rocker cover(s) generally finds its way onto the engines hot exhaust pipe or even hotter catalytic converter in the exhaust system. This poses two main dangers:
- this hot oil can reach ignition temperature when in contact with your hot exhaust system starting a fire underneath your vehicle.
- even if the oil dose not reach ignition temperature the heating of the oil can start to put out toxic and environmentally unfriendly fumes which are very bad for you and your passengers health.
A damaged rocker cover gasket will cause the oil to leak from your engine. An oil leak starves your engine of oil, resulting in damage to the engine over time.
As the engine is depleted of oil, its parts will lose lubrication, resulting in increased friction and heat. This causes premature wear of engine parts, resulting in an expensive repair if left untreated (from a seized or partially seized engine parts).
It can also be quite embarrassing to park on someone’s clean concrete and have your car drip oil stains everywhere!
Rocker Cover Gasket Replacement in Hamilton
If your rocker cover gasket is broken, it will need to be replaced before your engine sustains serious damage. At Grimmer Motors, we can provide reliable and effective gasket replacements for your vehicle.

This chapter covers the following topics:
- Secure Operating System
- Securing Access to the Router
- Securing the Forwarding Plane
This chapter discusses the security aspects of the Cisco IOS XR operating system and divides this discussion into two main areas as follows:
- Securing access to the router
- Securing the forwarding plane
It is important to control access to the router to prevent unauthorized or malicious use that might take the router offline or use it to launch an attack on the rest of the network. Cisco IOS XR provides the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) framework that helps provide secure access via the logical vty and the physical tty ports. Furthermore, ensuing sections in this chapter discuss the concepts of task-based authorization and familiarize the user with IOS XR concepts such as admin and SDR planes as well as the uniqueness of user groups and task group configuration.
Forwarding plane refers to the components involved in the various stages during packet forwarding. Forwarding plane refers not only to the flow of a packet through the router but also to the packets destined to the router. Protection of forwarding plane is important and necessitates controlling the type of traffic that traverses the router, and limiting the amount of traffic that’s destined to the router itself so that the router does not become a victim of a denial of service (DoS) attack. You might well be familiar with access control lists (ACL) and Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF) as popular forwarding plane security features. Additionally, IOS XR has a concept of Local Packet Transport Service (LPTS). LPTS provides protection against traffic destined to the router. This type of traffic is usually related to routing protocols that typically run on the route processor (RP) of the router, though Telnet, SNMP, NTP, ping, traceroute, and various other services create traffic that can be destined to a router’s line card or RP CPU. This chapter discusses the details behind LPTS and highlights key elements of forwarding plane security.
Secure Operating System
A router running IOS XR is often used as a backbone router providing core routing capabilities. Cisco IOS XR might also be used on a provider edge router provisioned with edge services such as Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs, QoS, and so on. Architectures such as IOS XR often play a critical role in a service provider (SP) network as a core or an edge device, and its security needs are a paramount concern for the network administrator.
Figure 6-1 shows a visual representation of IOS XR secure software design. IOS XR is a microkernel-based operating system. All essential services, such as TCP, UDP, and driver software, run as an independent application on top of its microkernel. Any individual application-level disaster remains contained and has minimal chances of interfering with the core functions of the operating systems. This makes IOS XR internals safe and less vulnerable to exploitation.
Figure 6-1 Secure Software Design
Cisco IOS XR processes run in their own memory space and are “restartable” by design. The software design takes preemptive measures against denial of service–type attacks. IOS XR also mitigates out-of-resource conditions and makes the continuous operation of the system more reliable.
Figure 6-1 illustrates the following main points:
- IOS XR is a microkernel-based operating system offering memory protection and fault tolerance.
- All basic OS and router functionality is implemented as processes. All the distributed services run on top of the microkernel.
- IOS XR follows a UNIX process model with separate, protected memory address spaces for its processes. The microkernel is protected from faults occurring in the protocol or device driver software due to the layered model shown in the figure.
Despite the inherent built-in security and high availability in the operating system, certain configuration measures are inevitable to ensure router and network security. Ensuing sections in this chapter delve deeper into the security considerations of a router or a network of devices running on IOS XR.

I'm planning BFF's bridal shower. Right now I'm working on two "games" they are really very simple and more for laughs. Anyway I was trying to think of some prizes that were not standard shower fare (candles, lotion, etc). BFF and I are both Girl Scout leaders. Would it be tacky to wrap up boxes of GS cookies as prizes? We have a bunch left over from our booth sale and I would be essentially buying them from our troop. Plus it's a nod to one of BFF's hobbies. Thoughts?
Would this be tacky or cute?
Honestly, it would look like you used the leftover boxes you have hanging around in the garage.

You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you That's where I'll be waiting
I would love the gs cookie rather then getting a candle. I would do it.
What is "left over" Girl Scout cookies
I have never encountered this problem
Doesn't everyone LOVE GS cookies? Why not do that?
It's a shower game prize. It's just a little token thing anyway.

Cymbalta for DepressionTweet
Cymbalta is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). The efficacy of Cymbalta has been established in 8- and 9-week placebo-controlled trials of outpatients who met DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder.
A major depressive episode (DSM-IV) implies a prominent and relatively persistent (nearly every day for at least 2 weeks) depressed or dysphoric mood that usually interferes with daily functioning, and includes at least 5 of the following 9 symptoms: depressed mood, loss of interest in usual activities, significant change in weight and/or appetite, insomnia or hypersomnia, psychomotor agitation or retardation, increased fatigue, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, slowed thinking or impaired concentration, or a suicide attempt or suicidal ideation. The effectiveness of Cymbalta in hospitalized patients with major depressive disorder has not been studied. The effectiveness of Cymbalta in long-term use for major depressive disorder, that is, for more than 9 weeks, has not been systematically evaluated in controlled trials. The physician who elects to use Cymbalta for extended periods should periodically evaluate the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individual patient.
If depression has never been proven to be caused by neurotransmitters (or the lack of them), that question cannot obviously be answered conclusively.
Apparently, Eli Lilly and Company knows this. According to a recent news release from Eli Lilly regarding Cymbalta: " Many experts believe treating the complete spectrum of depression symptoms is intrinsic to a lasting recovery. As well, combined action through two key neurotransmitters - serotonin and norepinephrine - may provide a more rapid and sustained clinical effect."
Note the subtle uncertainties in these statements, for there is absolutely no scientific proof behind them. "Many experts believe treating the complete spectrum of depression symptoms..." "...combined action through two key neurotransmitters - serotonin and norepinephrine - may provide..."
Depression is a whole-body illness, but most modern antidepressants treat the emotional symptoms, such as crying and sadness, better than they treat the physical symptoms of depression," said Dr. Stephen Stahl, chairman of the Neuroscience Education Institute and adjunct professor of psychiatry at the University of California at San Diego School of Medicine. "Because of its dual action on serotonin and norepinephrine, Cymbalta offers physicians a new opportunity to help patients with depression, particularly those who experience the common physical symptoms of the disease, such as vague aches and pains.
"Neurotransmitters are believed to help regulate a person's emotions and sensitivity to pain. Scientists believe that if these neurotransmitters are out of balance, a person may become depressed and be more likely to feel painful physical symptoms. The combination of emotional and painful physical effects of depression can have a tremendous negative impact on a person's quality of life.
Lilly demonstrated Cymbalta's effectiveness in treating major depression with data from four placebo-controlled clinical studies, all in adults. The safety and efficacy of Cymbalta in children have not been studied.
Cymbalta sometimes used to treat anxiety disorders.

The Food and Drug Administration on Friday is anticipated to license Moderna’’ s Covid-19 booster shot for — all grownups– a relocation that would can be found in tandem with the clearance of Pfizer-BioNtech’’ s booster for prevalent usage, 2 individuals with understanding of the matter informed POLITICO.
The choice comes simply days after Moderna formally asked the FDA to green-light its booster for Americans 18 and older, and shows the administration’’ s growing anxiousness over the current increase in Covid-19 cases throughout the country.
The FDA had actually formerly prepared to license Pfizer’’ s booster shot today, allowing the federal government to present shots to millions more individuals ahead of the Thanksgiving vacation.
But after Moderna submitted a comparable demand on Wednesday, authorities started discussing whether to speed that permission along too, individuals with understanding of the matter stated.
The FDA decreased to comment.
Moderna reported previously this summer season that its booster is 93 percent efficient when offered 6 months after the 2nd dosage, and the business has actually remained in close touch with the FDA ever since about an ultimate permission of its shot for all grownups.
With Covid-19 cases up more than 20 percent in the U.S. over the previous 2 weeks, some administration authorities likewise argued that clearing the shot prior to Thanksgiving would permit all grownups to rapidly look for a booster no matter which vaccine they initially got.
The FDA is now anticipated to settle permission for both vaccines on Friday early morning, ahead of an afternoon conference of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine advisory panel, according to individuals with understanding of the matter.
Still, it’’ s uncertain how the CDC panel will respond to the fast permission of Moderna’’ s booster shot. The outdoors consultants —– who are charged with suggesting who need to get the vaccines —– were initially set up just to think about broadened eligibility for Pfizer’’ s booster. The FDA’s relocation might raise issues amongst some consultants that they’re being asked to back the circulation of a 2nd vaccine on a more faster schedule than they initially prepared.
The CDC is not needed to follow the panel’’ s recommendations on how vaccines ought to be presented, however it has actually generally followed its suggestions.

HOUSTON — Opponents of Houston’s new protections for LGBT residents have sued the city after failing to collect enough votes for a repeal referendum.
The Houston Chronicle reports the lawsuit filed late Tuesday contests how signatures were counted for the referendum petition. It claims City Attorney David Feldman illegally verified the signatures.
Backers needed 17,269 signatures to place the repeal on the November ballot. They say they collected more than 50,000.
Feldman said Monday that less than half of the pages submitted were valid. Signers had to be verifiable as registered Houston voters. He says only 15,249 valid signatures were collected.
Feldman says his involvement didn’t cross ethical or legal lines. He says he has a specific duty to interpret the law and give legal advice.
The ordinance was approved by the city council on May 28, and consolidates city bans on discrimination based on sex, race, age, religion and other categories and increases protections on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
Mayor Annie Parker said Monday she was expecting opponents to take legal action challenging the city’s findings, and has delay implementation of the ordinance for now.

Insecurity: CAN urges Buhari to seek help from Israel, US
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to seek help from Israel, United States and other countries to sustain the fight against insurgency, banditry, kidnapping and other crimes in the country.
Speaking at the inauguration of Belusochukwu Enwere as the new national chairman of its Youth Wing (YOWICAN), yesterday in Abuja, CAN President, Rev Dr. Samson Ayokunle noted that the association is seriously worried about the deteriorating security situation in the country, adding that the present administration seems to be overwhelmed by the problem.
Ayokunle, represented by the Assistant General Secretary of CAN, Apostle Biodun Sanyaolu, observed that government’s primary responsibility is to protect lives and property.
He said: “It is very obvious that Nigeria needs assistance. I’m not President Muhammadu Buhari, but I’m sure that he will also be worried. He should be willing to seek help from anywhere, as insecurity has reached a worrying point, where nobody is safe. We need help. Let me use the opportunity to tell the President to reach out to Israel, United States and other countries that could be of help to Nigeria…
“We are seriously worried in CAN because we are affected by the security challenges in Nigeria. Insecurity, banditry and kidnapping are threats to human race… We will continue to pray for government because there is lack of security everywhere, from Adamawa to Lagos, Sokoto to Enugu. The highways are not safe.
Even when you’re in your house, you’re not safe…”

How To Style Matching Sets: A Guide for Women on Creating Stylish Outfits
Fashion trends come and go, but the appeal of matching sets remains timeless. These coordinated pieces offer a chic, put-together look with minimal effort. Whether it’s for a casual day out, a busy workday, or a sophisticated evening event, matching sets for women provide an array of stylish options. Below, you’ll discover how to select, accessorize, and style these versatile sets to elevate your wardrobe effortlessly.
Understanding the Versatility of Matching Sets for Women
Historically, matching sets have been cherished for their simplicity and elegance. The beauty of these coordinating pieces lies in their inherent versatility. Whether styled together or mixed and matched with other items in your wardrobe, matching sets can create multiple outfits. This adaptability makes them a valuable addition to any closet, functioning as a foundation for both casual and formal ensembles.
When browsing for matching sets women often prioritize comfort and texture. Modern sets are crafted from fabrics that range from breathable cotton to luxe satins, ensuring there’s a perfect set for any occasion and season. The key is choosing sets that resonate with your personal style and the demands of your lifestyle.
The colors and prints of matching sets also play a huge role in their adaptability. Solid colors lend themselves to a multitude of layering options, while bold prints can set the tone for an entire outfit. Neutrals are particularly flexible, capable of being dressed up with statement jewelry or paired down with subtle accessories.
Selecting the Perfect Matching Set for Your Body Type
One of the first steps in curating your matching set collection is acknowledging your body shape and what styles complement it best. For instance, pear-shaped bodies may opt for sets that draw attention upward, such as a bold-patterned top with more subdued pants or skirts. In contrast, those with an apple shape might go for pieces that cinch at the waist to create a more defined silhouette.
Examining the cuts and fits that accentuate your assets is crucial. High-waisted styles can elongate the legs, while flared or wide-leg pants provide a balance for those with broader shoulders. The goal is to select a set that not only appeals to your aesthetic preference but also enhances your figure in the most flattering way.
Accessorizing Your Matching Sets for Maximum Impact
The true potential of a matching set is unveiled when it’s accessorized with intention. Adding belts, handbags, or scarves can break up the uniformity of the set and introduce a pop of personality. Whether it’s a chunky belt to cinch the waist or a vibrantly colored bag, these additions help to tailor the look to your individual taste.
Jewelry can also play a significant role in elevating your set. Layered necklaces or statement earrings can add an element of glamour, especially when paired with more simple and monochromatic sets. Meanwhile, minimalist pieces can maintain the sleek, coordinated look for those who prefer subtlety.
The choice of footwear can dictate the overall vibe of your ensemble. Sneakers can dress down a set for daytime activities, while a pair of heels instantly inject sophistication, making the same outfit suitable for evening events. This demonstrates how a few adjustments can completely change the outlook of a matching set.
Transitioning Your Matching Set From Daywear to Evening Glam
Matching sets are inherently adaptable, making the transition from daytime to evening wear seamless. By switching up accessories or outerwear, the same set that served as a comfortable day outfit can be transformed into a chic evening look. It’s a matter of taking your set from a backdrop to a spotlight ensemble with a few thoughtful changes.
For the transition to evening glam, consider draping a blazer over your shoulders or adding a sophisticated shawl to your outfit. Metallic accessories and a clutch can also upgrade your set for night-time allure. Footwear plays a crucial role; strappy heels or elegant flats can replace more casual daytime shoes and elevate the entire look.
Makeup and hair also contribute significantly to the transition. An updo or sleek hairstyle along with a bolder makeup palette, featuring a smoky eye or red lip, can provide the final flourish your matching set needs to take your look into the evening.
Overall, matching sets offer a perfect balance of style, comfort, and adaptability for the modern woman. With the right selection, accessorizing, mixing of patterns, and transitioning tips, you can maximize the potential of your coordinated outfits. Embrace the simplicity and elegance of matching sets, and let them take you from a casual coffee date to an elegant evening with ease.

A study conducted by the BBC revealed that social media giant TikTok seized up to 70 percent of donations made to hundreds of Syrians living in refugee camps.
Mona Ali Al Karim and her six daughters live stream daily on TikTok, begging viewers to send them virtual gifts.
They sit on the ground in their tent and stare at the camera for hours, repeating a few English phrases they know:
“Please like, please share, please send gifts.”
Mona’s wife was killed in an airstrike. Mona is now trying to raise the necessary money for her visually impaired daughter Sharifa’s surgery via TikTok live broadcasts.
The gifts Mona and her family want are actually virtual, but these gifts can be purchased with real money and then withdrawn as cash from the social media app.
Those who watch the live broadcasts can gift a few cents worth of roses, or a $500 lion or universe animation.
Mona and her family are one of hundreds of families requesting donations on TikTok. This year, many similar videos began to be seen around the world. While some thought it was a money pit, others did not spare their support.
For example, TikTok celebrity British Keith Mason donated $330 to a family.
“The kids looked so happy. The man had his legs and an arm amputated, but he was one of the most positive people you could meet and talk to,” says Keith.
BEHIND THE SCENES
However, he was not keeping accounts.
How did so many people who lost their homes in the civil war in Syria suddenly have the phone, the internet, and the means to broadcast live on TikTok every day? Syrian journalist Mohammed Abdullah found that the camp where one of the videos was shot was near Idlib.
We asked him to visit this refugee camp. When he went to the camp, he saw that many families like Mona’s were broadcasting live on TikTok and asking for donations.
Mohammed met Hamid, who “through TikTok” these families and worked with 12 families in the camp. Hamid, who provided these families with phones, internet connections, and opened and used TikTok accounts, received a commission over the donations made.
However, Hamid says that TikTok seized most of the donations before the money was even in his account. “The lion animation is the greatest gift. It’s worth $500. But when it gets here, it’s down to $155,” he says.
The BBC team examined more than 300 TikTok accounts broadcasting live from refugee camps in Syria. It found that many of these accounts received over $1,000 in gift donations within an hour. However, families in the camps say that only a small part of the donations they receive reaches them.
Dowkan Hamdan Al-Khodr wanted to go on TikTok streams to raise money for his daughter’s heart surgery. After broadcasting live for eight days, the money he received was only 14 dollars.
“That’s when I stopped broadcasting. But they wouldn’t let me leave. They thought I was making excuses, lying to them,” he says.
But where does all that money go then?
In June, we asked TikTok how much of the gift donations made through the app were reserved for themselves. We did not receive any response to our question.
We tried to find the answer to the question ourselves.
We made a TikTok live broadcast through an account we opened in Syria. We sent a gift of 106 dollars to this account through another account in London.
After the live broadcast ended, $33 appeared to have accumulated in the account in Syria. In other words, TikTok seized 69 percent of the donation.
After our experiment, we went to withdraw our money from a local money transfer office. Here, too, a 10% cut was made. TikTok broker Hamid also set aside 35 percent of the remaining money as commission.
In this case, we only have $19 left of the $106 we made. Many families are not even given this much money after live broadcasts.
Marwa Fatafta of digital rights organization Access Now says the hour-long livestreams violate TikTok’s commitment to “prevent the harm and exploitation of minors on the platform.”
To test how seriously TikTok takes its child protection policies, we reported more than 30 accounts on the platform where children were begging for donations. TikTok replied that none of these accounts had infringed any rights.
When the BBC contacted TikTok directly, he received the reply that all the accounts in question were closed. The company refused our interview requests, but sent the following written statement:
“We were deeply concerned about the information and allegations that the BBC presented to us, and we took immediate decisive action. Such content is not allowed on our platform. We are further strengthening our global policies to combat exploitative begging.”
TikTok is the fastest growing social media application in the world with 3.9 billion users. With the spending made on the platform, the company has earned over $6.2 billion.
We contacted some aid organizations in Syria and asked for support to families trying to make money on TikTok and giving feedback to the BBC. Takaful Al Sham has announced that they will send basic aid to these families over the next three months.
On the other hand, hundreds of families still continue to broadcast live on TikTok every day, and most of the donations continue to go to TikTok.

So I suddenly really want to see the new Transformers film. I didn’t like the first one, to say the least. However, a couple of things make me want to check out the sequel. Thing one: this review, written by a fellow internet person, makes it sound accidentally highbrow. I love things like that. You know, like Alanis Morissette’s ‘Ironic’, to which you can apply numerous layers of analysis. Accidental genius. Far preferable to New Hollywood‘s penchant for attempting brilliance and achieving dog poo.
We also have Mark Kermode’s concise evaluation, which is the first really good thing he’s done since his Exorcist review. And that was over a decade ago. Something tells me old Mark is a Dapper Dan man.
Anyway. Me throughsilver want to see new film!

I’m continuing this month on the topic of protein, one of the magical macronutrients that your body needs protein for growth, repair, & maintenance of body tissues — muscles, blood, bones & hormones, including immune system function, energy production when blood sugar is low, metabolic & digestive enzymes, and hair, skin, nails, collagen, & elastin production.
Last blog post, I spoke about complete protein and how to get it by consuming grass-fed, pasture raised, and wild-caught animals and fish. But as we all know, not everyone eats meat or fish.
Luckily, starchy and non-starchy vegetables also offer protein. The tricky part is that the majority aren’t complete proteins because they don’t contain the full amino acid profile. Not to fret, there are combinations to make them become complete proteins.
These must be properly combined to be complete …
beans with grains
beans with nuts or seeds
milk products with grains
Beans/Legumes + Grain Ideas …
garbanzo beans or black beans + quinoa
garbanzo beans + tahini = hummus
kidney beans in salad, sprinkled with sunflower seeds
pinto or black beans with + rice
lentils + rice
Nuts & Seeds + Grains or Beans/Legumes
cooked gf oats with walnuts, sprinkled with chia or ground flax
brown rice with black sesame seeds or shaved almonds
basil pesto with pine nuts OR cilantro pesto with pumpkins seeds over brown rice, brown rice pasta or tempeh
hemp seeds + gf grains and/beans
Healthy tip: You can eat them separately within a 36 hour period for them to still work in the body as complete protein.
Who says that you can ‘t find a vegetable that isn’t a complete protein?
Microalgae like chlorella & spirulina are highly absorbable, high in protein, beta-carotene, EFA’s & minerals. Refreshing & vital!
Bee pollen gives you energy, is a nutritive tonic, builds blood, decreases allergies
Nutritional yeast is full of fiber, B vitamins & chromium. Stimulates metabolism. No more than 2 tbsp. a day.
Check out those three superfood boosters that you should add to your repertoire now…

Yes, short read, some interesting thoughts
Yes, a few tweeks
Probably one of those iconic books, that everyone should read, so that they can talk about it with all the other people who have read it
It's a good read but is just that. It does not give any real guidance for investing. it's just reiterates that investment is a must. Don't I know that. Didnt I started this book because I knew that. this book is beneficial only for those who have never thought of any investment and needs a push.
Computer Scientist, Reader, also likes well read audiobooks. Prefer mostly non-fiction, but also the occasional fictional series.
I would listen again to better focus on the primary themes and message.
I liked the personal stories of Robert Kiyosaki's youth and how they applied to how he dealt with his adult life.
This book can't really be handled in one sitting. I listened while travelling in my truck and found it entertaining enough to keep my interest, but not too intense for the road.
Highly recommended! I don't think a lot of debt is good due to the amount of risk, but I do like the attitude of not saying no, just saying how can I make this happen!
Rich Dad Poor Dad is a great book that kicks off a series about thinking differently about money. I think Robert nails the mindset that one has to have to be successful with money.
Robert's stories about the view of his 'rich dad' vs. that of his 'poor dad' really create a dynamic that allows us to compare thinking of the rich to those who want to be more 'secure' but ultimately may not be able to obtain or sustain wealth.
While I wish that the reading of the book was a little faster, Tim does a good job of clear pronunciation, so all can understand, even if English is your second language.
At the end of the day, it's great for everyone to really understand the concept of passive income and how this helps you over your long term view of investing and maintaining wealth.
Id reccomend this audiobook to anyone. Understanding that our day can be long and sometimes what we have left of it feels difficult to actually read the book, listenining to it is as close as it gets. I really enjoy the ideas presented and value the contrast of thoughts brought by the author.
Poor dad. Regretfully i have heard all these advices from my own family. Whats worst is that all of them are stuck (same as poor dad) in the rat race.
Is not as much as i find it my favorite but probably the reflection of myself what makes the poor dad a favorite character.
The performance is quite unique. Some people dont like it others dont care. To me as long as the performer keeps it interesting and the voice doesnt put me to sleep im fine with it.
Id give the performer a 7 or 8.
Not really, since all the book moves you, motivates you if you will.
Ive read and heard other books from this author, and if you are not happy with your financial life this author is a most for your library of references.
Rich Dad is a coaching for life. Yes, I would absolutely listen again.
Recognizing the fear and ignorance of job vs independence
It made me think
You will enjoy listening and learning to this book over and over!! You will understand more about the rich and how they become and stay rich! It's a great book!!

Thank you for writing to express your opposition to the "Food Safety Accountability Act of 2010" (S. 3767). I appreciate hearing from you and welcome the opportunity to respond.
I strongly support S. 3767, and I am a cosponsor of this legislation. I believe that all food producers should be required to produce food that is safe to eat and does not harm consumers. Producers who knowingly violate food safety procedures and distribute tainted food to the public should be held accountable for their actions. The "Food Safety Accountability Act" will protect consumers by authorizing criminal penalties when a company or individual knowingly adulterates or misbrands food that is intended to be sold.
I understand you have concerns regarding this legislation and parties who might unknowingly contaminate food. The Senate Judiciary Committee, of which I am a member, amended S. 3767 so that its criminal penalties are limited to persons who knowingly adulterate or misbrand food knowingly with conscious or reckless disregard of a risk of death or serious bodily injury.
On September 23, 2010, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed S. 3767. Please know that I will keep your concerns in mind should the full Senate consider this legislation.
Again, thank you for writing. If you have any further questions or comments, please contact my office in Washington, D.C. at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.

Whilst reading the brilliant (if these days less-frequently updated, sadly) NME and Melody Maker online repository Archived Music Press, I came across a release-week review of De La Soul’s now classic 3 Feet High And Rising.
The reviewer correctly recognised that De La Soul had created an entirely unique patchwork of pastel-coloured hip hop that was a welcome break from the aggressive norm. As the years have passed and hip-hop has run aground on a mountain of empty Cristal bottles and handguns, we can view 3 Feet High and Rising with even more fondness than ever – a one-off spike of colour and dazzling invention.
Mammox imagines what would have happened if hip-hop had branched off along that road, instead of ploughing on into the guns ‘n’ gangs furrow. The likes of Sneeze Tease are no mere De La-copies – they take the idea and explore, bright, expressive and dazzling.
Their new album (streamed here) provides a bundle of short songs forming a kaleidoscope of skittering beats, warped noises and candy-coloured fun, swirling, competing and jousting for prominence.
Mammox has deviated, and is moving away from the norm. It’s a bold move, and one that pays off musically, but also may not necessarily garner the plaudits he would deserve. Such is life. Hopefully reviews of his songs will be similarly prescient as the one in the Melody Maker.
Hello. Yes sorry about the lapsed blog – glad you like what’s up there. It’s not dead it’s just that I don’t know when I’m going to start again but winter’s always a better time for staying indoors.
Hey Charles! Great to hear that AMP is making a phoenix-like renaissance! Looking forward to it – and just in case: I have vague recollections of a mid-90’s Ill Communication era Beastie Boys interview in Melody Maker that would be great to read if you have it…

Civil defense was another part of Soviet strategic defense. Since the Bolshevik Revolution ended in 1917, the Soviets nurtured the expectation of an impending attack by capitalist powers. During the 1920's, cities and other targets were prepared for protection against chemical and conventional attack. In 1927, OSOAVIAKHIM, a paramilitary training organization, was established with Civil Defense training as one of its prime functions. During the 1930's, as concern over air power and the German threat began to grow, the first nationwide civil defense program was begun.
However, it was not until World War II, when old civil defense programs proved inadequate, that shelter construction and compulsory training programs, designed mainly for civil defense workers, actually began. It originated with the large-scale relocation of defense industries from the western Soviet Union to east of the Ural Mountains in 1941. Civil defense reappeared in the late 1940s as antiaircraft units were attached to Soviet factories to defend them against strategic bombing. By 1948, Soviet civil defense programs had received increased attention in a variety of ways, including shelter construction in new buildings, mandatory study circles and instructor training programs, and periodic endorsements by the media.
By the early 1970s, the emphasis on civil defense increased, and the chief of Civil Defense became a deputy minister of defense. Each union republic had a general officer as the chief of civil defense in the republic.
In 1989, the purpose of civil defense was to provide protection for leadership and population in wartime and to ensure the Soviet Union's ability to continue production of military matériel during a nuclear or a protracted conventional war. Officers from Civil Defense were attached to union republic, oblast (see Glossary), raion, and municipal governments, as well as to large industrial and agricultural enterprises, and assigned to supervise civil defense work, organization, and training. These staff officers developed and implemented detailed plans for the wartime relocation of important defense industrial facilities and the evacuation of labor forces to alternative sites. They supervised the construction of blast shelters and other installations to ensure that these structures could withstand nuclear strikes. Civil Defense operated a network of 1,500 underground shelters that could protect 175,000 top party and government officials. In 1989 Civil Defense had 150,000 personnel.
After a nuclear exchange, the civil defense effort would be directed at reestablishing essential military production through decontamination, first aid, and civil engineering work to clear collapsed structures and to restore power supplies, transportation, and communications. Civil Defense trained in peacetime by conducting simulations of the aftermath of a nuclear attack and small-scale evacuation exercises. It was also called on to fight fires, conduct rescue operations, decontaminate areas affected by nuclear and chemical accidents, and provide natural disaster relief.
