The circadian rhythms of sleep propensity and melatonin secretion are regulated by a central circadian clock, the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus. The most common types of sleep disorders attributed to an alteration of the circadian clock system are the sleep/wake cycle phase disorders, such as delayed sleep phase syndrome and advanced sleep phase syndrome (ASPS). Advanced sleep phase syndrome is characterized by the complaint of persistent early evening sleep onset and early morning awakening. Although the complaint of awakening earlier than desired is relatively common, particularly in older adults, extreme advance of sleep phase is rare.
To phenotypically characterize a familial case of ASPS.
We identified a large family with ASPS; 32 members of this family gave informed consent to participate in this study. Measures of sleep onset and offset, dim light melatonin onset, the Horne-Ostberg morningness-eveningness questionnaire, and clinical interviews were used to characterize family members as affected or unaffected with ASPS.
Affected members rated themselves as "morning types" and had a significant advance in the phase of sleep onset (P<.001) and offset (P = .006) times. The mean sleep onset was 2121 hours for the affected family members and 0025 hours for the unaffected family members. The mean sleep offset was 0507 hours for the affected members and 0828 hours for the unaffected members. (Times are given in military form.) In addition, the phase of the circadian rhythm of melatonin onset for the affected family members was on average 3½ hours earlier than for the unaffected members.
The ASPS trait segregates with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. The occurrence of familial ASPS indicates that human circadian rhythms, similar to those in animals, are under genetic regulation. Genetic analysis of familial sleep and circadian rhythm disorders is important for identifying a specific gene(s) responsible for the regulation of sleep and circadian rhythms in humans.
ADVANCED SLEEP phase syndrome (ASPS) is characterized by persistent advanced sleep onsets and awakenings that are earlier than desired.1-3 Individuals with ASPS typically experience sleepiness in the early evening, when other people are active, and early morning awakening, when most are still sleeping. Therefore, individuals with ASPS sometimes find it difficult to maintain a normal social and work life. It has been postulated that ASPS is a circadian rhythm disorder in which the phase of the circadian rhythm of sleep and wake is advanced in relation to the "normal timing," which is synchronized, to the external environment.2,3
The search for genetic components to many complex behaviors is intensifying. The recent completion of the Human Genome Project places researchers in a better position to quickly discover genes responsible for some of these complex behaviors. A familial approach is one technique used in the field of human genetics in an attempt to find associations between behaviors and genes. To do this type of research, it is important to identify and phenotypically characterize families that exhibit these behaviors. Familial associations have been reported in several sleep disorders. There is one reported case4 of delayed sleep phase syndrome, but as yet this family has not been fully described. Restless legs syndrome, a condition in which patients experience discomfort in the legs or limbs that is relieved by movement, appears to be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait.5 One sleep disorder in which the heritability is well established is narcolepsy. Between 1% and 2% of narcoleptic probands have family histories of excessive daytime sleepiness.6,7 Furthermore, human narcolepsy has been linked to a region of the major histocompability complex (HLA) genes.8 More recently, the compound orexin has been linked to narcolepsy. Using a narcoleptic dog model, Lin and colleagues9 recently showed that the hypocretin (orexin) receptor gene (Hcrtr2) may be responsible for narcolepsy. Chemelli and colleagues10 found that orexin knockout mice exhibit a phenotype similar to that seen in narcoleptic patients and in dogs that have a mutation of canarc-1, a canine narcolepsy gene.11
In comparison, ASPS appears to be a far more rare sleep/circadian rhythm disorder, and until recently there were only 3 reported cases of ASPS.12-15 More recently, however, Jones and colleagues16 described 3 separate families with a familial preponderance of ASPS. Identification of the familial nature of ASPS suggests a genetic basis for this syndrome. The present study phenotypically characterizes an additional case of familial ASPS by describing the clinical characteristics, activity/rest measures, and circadian phase in affected and nonaffected members of a large family with ASPS.
Thirty-two members of a single family gave informed written consent before participation in this study. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill. Subjects were interviewed and examined by a sleep specialist physician (P.C.Z.).
Identification of the ASPS phenotype and diagnosis of affected and unaffected family members were determined by physician interview using the American Sleep Disorders Association's diagnostic criteria as a guideline. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale was administered to all subjects, and informative subjects also completed a family history questionnaire. Sleep/wake schedules were measured using wrist actigraphy and sleep diaries, the circadian preference was determined from the Horne-Ostberg morningness-eveningness questionnaire, and the circadian phase was determined from dim light salivary melatonin onset (DLMO). A family pedigree was constructed to further characterize the heritability of the disorder.
The timing and characteristics of the rest/activity cycle were determined by wrist actigraphy and sleep diaries. Subjects were asked to wear activity monitors (Cambridge Neurotechnology LTD, Cambridge, England) on the wrist of the nondominant hand. Activity data were analyzed using a computer program (Rhythm Watch, version 2.41; Cambridge Technologies LTD) to plot actograms. Subjects were also asked to maintain a sleep diary during the 2 weeks of actigraphy measurement, recording bedtime, any awakenings during the night, and the final wake time.
Subjects completed the Horne-Ostberg questionnaire to determine their circadian "chronotype." Scores between 70 and 86 are indicative of a morning-type; between 59 and 69, a moderate morning-type; between 42 and 58, neither type; between 31 and 41, a moderate evening-type; and between 16 and 30, an evening-type.17
Profiles of evening salivary melatonin level, a reliable marker of circadian phase, were collected using salivettes at 30-minute intervals under dim light conditions (<100 lux). Subjects were in dim light conditions from 1730 hours until bedtime. Sampling began at 1800 hours (central time) and was concluded at each individual's desired bedtime, which varied between individuals. (Times are given in military form.) Melatonin levels were measured using a direct radioimmunoassay (Buhlmann Saliva; ALPCO, Windham, NH).18Melatonin onset was defined as the time of the first sample exceeding, by at least 2 SDs, the mean of all prior samples, without a subsequent decline to below that level.
Subjects who met the diagnostic clinical criteria for ASPS and had a morning-type score on the Horne-Ostberg questionnaire and/or an advanced melatonin onset (those with DLMO were considered to have an advanced melatonin onset if the onset was 2 hours before that of "normal subjects" described in the literature18) were considered to exhibit the ASPS phenotype.
Unpaired t tests were used to determine any difference between affected and unaffected family members for self-reported sleep onsets, offsets, and durations.
A pedigree of the family, shown in Figure 1, was constructed from the physician interviews, sleep questionnaires, and family histories. Thirty-two family members were studied. Eight family members were diagnosed as being definitely affected, 4 as being possibly affected, and 8 as being affected by history; 12 were unaffected. The members studied ranged in age from 11 to 85 years. The age of onset (by history) varied from as early as 8 years to early adulthood.
The proband was an 85-year-old man with a history of going to sleep in the early evening and awakening in the early morning for as long as he could remember. He reported that his children and several other relatives had a similar sleep pattern. The ASPS phenotype can be seen in 4 generations of the proband's branch and in possibly 3 generations in an extended branch. The pattern of affected individuals in the proband's branch is consistent with a genetic model of segregation of a single autosomal dominant gene.
The ASPS status of some individuals in an extended branch of the family is considered to be possibly affected. The oldest member of this branch is an elderly woman who by history is affected, but because of her poor health, accurate characterization of the disorder was not possible. However, we do consider her to be affected by history. Her daughter is self-reported as affected, and her granddaughter is a teenager and is advanced compared with other adolescents in the general population, but does not strictly meet the American Sleep Disorders Association criteria for ASPS.
Data from the completed interviews, the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (mean [± SD] score, 2.4 [± 2.7]), and sleep questionnaires do not indicate that the ASPS phenotype is associated with a high prevalence of affective disorder or other types of sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, or periodic leg movements. Results from a clinical sleep study indicated that 1 subject does have sleep apnea.
Representative profiles of wrist activity records for affected subjects can be seen in Figure 2, left. The wrist activity monitoring clearly shows that family members affected with ASPS have early sleep onsets and offsets. The average subjective sleep onsets, offsets, and durations were calculated for 10 individuals and are shown in Table 1. Relative to unaffected subjects, affected subjects had, on average, sleep onsets nearly 3 hours earlier and sleep offsets nearly 3½ hours earlier. The mean sleep duration was not significantly different between the 2 groups.
Scores on the Horne-Ostberg questionnaire are shown in Table 2. All affected individuals were morning types, while none of the unaffected individuals were morning types.
Dim light melatonin onset values were collected via saliva sampling from 4 affected and 1 unaffected family member from the proband's branch of the family (Figure 2, right). Although no statistical analysis of these findings can be carried out due to the limited number of samples in each group, the mean DLMO for the affected subjects was much earlier (1830 hours) than that of the unaffected subject (2200 hours). There was an advance in the DLMO of the affected individuals of approximately 3½ hours compared with that of the unaffected family member. The phase of melatonin onset for the individuals with ASPS was advanced when compared with that seen in the normal population.18
We have identified a large family with ASPS in which an affected member is present in every generation, suggesting that the ASPS phenotype segregates as a single gene with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance (Figure 1). Analysis of sleep diary and activity records indicates that affected family members have significantly earlier sleep onsets and offsets than unaffected members. The results are consistent with those of published reports12-14 of individual cases of ASPS. However, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups in sleep duration. This is consistent with ASPS criteria and published reports12,16,19 of polysomnographic recordings that show no difference in the duration and architecture of sleep between affected and unaffected individuals. These results suggest that ASPS is not likely due to a disruption of sleep homeostasis or sleep architecture, but rather represents an alteration of the circadian timing of sleep propensity.
When we examined subjective circadian measures (Horne-Ostberg morningness-eveningness questionnaire scores), the results indicated that all family members who were considered affected with ASPS also scored as morning-type on the questionnaire, whereas the unaffected members scored as moderate evening types or fell into neither category. Morning-type on this questionnaire has generally been associated with an advance in other circadian rhythms, including core body temperature and performance levels.20,21 A link has also been suggested between diurnal preference, as determined by the Horne-Ostberg questionnaire, and a polymorphism located in the 3′ flanking region of the human CLOCK gene.22 (CLOCK is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that, when mutated, alters the circadian period.) It could be suggested that a genetic component of diurnal preference could be passed on through a family similar to the one described herein.
In addition, our objective measure of circadian phase, DLMO, clearly showed that members of this family with the ASPS phenotype have an earlier DLMO than either the unaffected family member or unaffected individuals described in the literature.18,23
Since there are only a few reported cases of ASPS, it would appear to be a relatively rare disorder. However, several factors, such as the lack of complaints from these individuals and the lack of recognition of this condition by health care professionals, may explain this low incidence of reported cases.24 Several of the participants interviewed in this study were accustomed to their advanced schedule and were surrounded by many members of their family who were similarly affected. In addition, individuals with ASPS found that social pressures, such as work schedules, adhered to this advanced phase and were, therefore, resigned to the timing of their sleep/wake schedule. However, it is unlikely that the advanced sleep phase is merely a result of social conditioning within a family unit. Interviews reveal that several members of the same family unit are affected with ASPS; however, there are spouses and siblings within the same family unit, living in the same house, who do not exhibit the advanced sleep phase.
Identification of the ASPS phenotype may have been influenced by the effects of marriage to individuals with a delayed sleep phase ("night owls"). This was the situation in individuals from the extended branch whose spouses were reported to be night owls. Another consideration in regard to accurate identification of the affected status in this familial case of ASPS is the broad age range of its members. Changes in circadian timing and in the timing of sleep are associated with age.25,26 Specifically, there is generally an advance in sleep/wake behavior for older people and a delay in teenagers.25-27 When the teenaged affected family members were compared with the rest of the population in their own age group, they were advanced. However, they did not meet the American Sleep Disorders Association criteria when sleep onsets and offsets were assessed.1 Research diagnostic criteria of ASPS need to be established and defined, perhaps taking into account age. This is most crucial for the accurate characterization of circadian phase syndromes. With this in mind, in the present study, we used the American Sleep Disorders Association criteria as a guideline for determining the phenotype of ASPS, but we also used other tools, such as morningness-eveningness preference and melatonin onset, as more stringent measures of circadian phase. Individuals with an advanced sleep phase also displayed an advance in other circadian rhythms, indicating that this condition is best described as advanced circadian phase syndrome.
This family, along with the 3 families identified by Jones and colleagues,16 suggests that not only is ASPS familial in some cases but that it may be more prevalent than previously believed. The results reported for this family and those of Jones et al appear to be consistent and segregate in a similar pattern: the sleep onsets and Horne-Ostberg questionnaire scores are similar. Although Jones et al do report a DLMO of on average 1 hour earlier than ours, this could be the result of a later period of dim light exposure before sampling in our studies. We have yet to determine whether there are changes in period in members of this family like that reported in a single case by Jones et al.
Taken together, the results from the present study indicate that ASPS may in some cases be a familial disorder that appears to segregate as a single gene with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Identification of families with alterations in circadian sleep phase is expected to play an important role in identifying the gene(s) responsible for regulation of human sleep and circadian rhythms.

Farnborough, England (CNN) — Moving big stuff across treacherous terrain can be dangerous and expensive, and innovators are always looking for new solutions.
Lately, in the airlift industry, inspiration has come from already proven platforms like lighter-than-air airships and successful military cargo planes.
During its 62 years in production, Lockheed Martin's C-130 Hercules military airlifter gained a reputation as a master of undeveloped airstrips. So popular are C-130s that they're flown in 68 countries and they've logged more than 22 million flight hours.
Now, a new civilian version is in the works.
The LM-100J Super Hercules is expected to make its first flight next year.
Virginia-based logistics and defense group Bravo Industries announced at this month's Farnborough International Airshow in England, that it's buying 10 LM-100Js for cargo operations in Brazil.
That makes sense.
Brazil, with its huge wilderness areas, isn't exactly overflowing with aviation infrastructure and ground support.
The military version of the Super Herc can carry military gear the size of utility helicopters and six-wheeled armored vehicles -- so you can imagine the civilian stuff that can be stuffed into that cargo hold.
Maximum cruising speed: 408 mph. That's pretty good if your stuff needs to get to where it's going relatively fast.
But what if time isn't so important? What if going slow was OK and the most important factor was just getting the stuff there intact?
Bravo's president and CEO JR Pereira said he'd be open to another idea inspired by a proven platform: a hybrid airship.
"In the Brazilian market, we've talked to some of the oil and gas and some mining companies that have already shown us a great deal of interest about the hybrid ship due to the capacity and versatility of supporting heavy duty equipment to different areas," Pereira said during a news conference last week.
Reminiscent of the airships of the 1930s, Lockheed Martin's hybrid airship will carry up to 21 metric tons of cargo and 19 passengers, once it wins U.S. flight certification.
The Hybrid Airship is just one of several helium-powered crafts preparing to launch into a blimp revival.
These aircraft burn less than a tenth of the fuel of a helicopter per ton, but they're faster than most land and sea transportation. They're quiet. They require little landing infrastructure and they can pretty much land and take off anywhere.
And let's not forget the biggest aircraft in the world: Hybrid Air Vehicles' Airlander 10, which has been touted as having the potential to serve as an unmanned airlifter capable of flying continuously for up to two weeks.
Airlander 10, a spectacularly huge, helium-pumped aircraft, is unveiled fully assembled for the first time, in a giant aviation hangar near London.
Avgeeks were hoping Airlander 10 would show up at Farnborough this year, but they were left disappointed. It remains in Hybrid Air Vehicle's hangar in Cardington, England, where it awaits testing.

Legislative Republicans are getting into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit this year by blocking families from accessing a vital pot of gold: Wisconsin’s almost $4 billion dollar state budget surplus.
In recent weeks, conservative members of our state legislature packed up and called it quits for the year – 10 months early – and spent no time taking up Gov. Evers’ forward facing plan for Wisconsin’s budget surplus, in a special session that was gaveled in and gaveled out within 60 seconds.
Gov. Evers’ surplus plan is a lucky charm amid the financial and emotional hardship Wisconsin families have endured over the last two years of a worldwide pandemic and other global crises – calling for a $150 tax rebate to every Wisconsin resident, and nearly $750 million delivered to our children’s education, higher education, and job training.
Under the governor’s proposal, Wisconsin families would see more than $130 million in tax savings, to mitigate the rising cost of child care across the state and take down employment barriers for caregivers.
But the conservative controlled legislature stood in the way of sending the state’s surplus funds back where they belong: to our families and into our schools.
The time is long overdue for Republicans in Wisconsin to work with our Governor on putting money in families’ pockets to help with rising costs, funding our children’s schools, and so much more. Their refusal to work with Gov. Evers and other progressives is unacceptable – because Wisconsinites deserve leaders who deliver on the issues that matter most to us.
We’re lucky to have progressive leaders, like our Governor and other progressive legislators who continue to show up to work and do the right thing – making Wisconsin first in the country in aid allocated to businesses and second in the country for aid directed to economic development throughout the pandemic.
But right now, Republican obstruction at the Capitol is costing Wisconsin families and our communities. Economic recovery in Wisconsin cannot wait, yet some Republicans are more interested in their own political advantage – and blocking the billion-dollar pot of gold to help Wisconsin families.
Today, join A Better Wisconsin Together in letting our elected officials know that we’re lucky to have progressive measures from leaders like Gov. Evers, who won’t make us chase the end of a rainbow in order to set our families up to thrive.

A recurring question is why criminal defense lawyers are underrepresented in government positions, whether judicial, legislative or executive. The easy answer is that we’re easy targets, having spent our careers as gladiators, defenders of the Constitution and, as the NACDL slogan goes, Liberty’s Last Champions.
Actually, we don’t sound half bad when you put it that way. But then, nobody puts it that way. This is more the way we’re described:
Not only does it pander to ignorance and prejudice, but it’s awfully effective in smearing a candidate for office. After all, even if you’re not entirely inclined to hate criminal defense lawyers for their role in the criminal justice system, you have to admit that there’s always that place in the back of your head that says, “well, yeah, but look at the scum he works with. Some of that has to rub off on him, right?”
And while the backlash against a candidate who makes such a flagrant smear might be of some small concern, the beauty here is that the very slick ad didn’t come with the opponent’s, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, approval. Via ATL:
This ad comes to us from South Carolina, where State Senator Vincent Sheheen, a lawyer, is challenging incumbent Nikki Haley. But Governor Haley didn’t approve this ad, it’s coming to her defense from the Republican Governors Association, a group currently headed by Governor Chris Christie.
While Christie, the former United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey, no doubt understands the role of criminal defense lawyer, and is familiar with a few of the amendments to the Constitution that make up the Bill of Rights, this isn’t a reflection of his lack of concern for the 6th Amendment, but the use of whatever tools are available to win an election.
In Washington Monthly, Ed Kilgore writes:
Taegan Goddard’s Political Wire noted a new Republican Governors Association ad being run in South Carolina against Democratic candidate Vincent Sheheen under the headline: “Most Negative Political Ad Ever?” and suggested it set “a new standard for nasty.” I’d say it sets a new standard for immoral cynicism.
This is just silly. “Immoral cynicism”? This is out of every political playbook ever written when the opponent is a criminal defense lawyer. And in the relativistic scale of “immoral cynicism” of politics, nobody owns the worst ever, though that’s never stopped any candidate or soft money group from trying.
There are two reactions to campaign ads like this. The first, as reflected by Kilgore, is stand there with your hands on your hips and scold other side for being despicable human beings, like that works, or promote the idea that what we do is not only proper, but necessary, in the scheme of our nation.
Will the day ever come that people see the criminal defense function as not only necessary, but admirable? Probably not. Let’s face facts, our nation hasn’t done particularly well when it comes to educating our children as to civic virtue.
It’s a whole lot easier to fall back to the simplistic positions of good and evil, and when it comes to having something good to say about what we do, we’re usually on the south end of a train headed north. Even most beloved journalists can’t quite come up with a good reason to say something nice about defending the accused, except when it’s one of their own. And the best among criminal defense lawyers represents the worst of society, making the story that much harder to tell.
This is where everybody invokes John Adams for defending the Brits for the Boston Massacre, as does Kilgore, but since most Americans aren’t aware that they shot Crispus Attucks, and otherwise think Brits have cool accents, it just doesn’t do the trick.
So here we are, defending criminals, often really bad criminals, because our Constitution requires us to do so. Yet another reason to take a crayon and cross out offending parts of the suicide pact. When you tell people at a cocktail party that you’re a criminal defense lawyer, they will usually reply, “that must be interesting.” Nobody ever says, “thank you for your service to the Constitution.”
Oh, and we get paid for it. It doesn’t get any more American than that.


Hollow points have been around since the early 1900s, but they didn't really become mainstream until the 1990s. They were originally designed as a replacement for traditional bullets, but their unique shape has made them useful for other purposes too. This article explains what hollow points are, why they are used, and where you might use them.
The Crkt Hollow Point Plus P is an improved version of our original Crkt Hollow Point bullet. The Crkt Hollow Point Plus P features a new polymer tip design for increased accuracy and penetration. This new polymer tip design provides more consistent expansion upon impact, resulting in better performance at longer ranges than traditional lead core bullets. The Crkt Hollow Point Plus P has been tested to expand up to 1 inch at 100 yards!
If you want to improve your shooting skills, but don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on expensive training aids, then the Crkt Hollow Point Plus P may be just what you need. It will help you develop accurate shots at long distances without breaking the bank.
Its unique design features a tapered nose and pointed tip, which allows it to expand rapidly upon impact while providing excellent penetration. The HP+ has been proven effective against hard targets such as bone and soft tissue. It’s ideal for self defense applications where accuracy is critical.
This new version of the Hollow Point Plus series features a larger diameter bullet core, allowing it to expand further and penetrate deeper than previous versions. The HP+ is loaded with a proprietary lead alloy jacket that provides superior expansion and penetration. The HP+ comes in three calibers: .380 ACP, 9mm Luger, and .40 S & W.
The HP+ is compatible with standard AR15 magazines and most other aftermarket mags. It accepts any factory loads except +P ammunition. It does not accept +P rounds.

If you've ever shot a gun, then you probably already understand how important it is to purchase quality ammunition. After all, if you shoot poorly crafted ammo, you could end up shooting yourself in the foot. So, if you want to ensure that you're getting the best possible performance from your firearm, it's important to invest in quality ammunition. And one of the most popular types of ammunition available is .22 caliber rimfire cartridges. These rounds are perfect for target practice and small game hunting. They're also great for plinking because they have relatively low recoil. However, many people overlook the importance of buying quality ammunition. This is especially true when it comes to .22 caliber rimfire cartridges. Fortunately, there are several things you should keep in mind when selecting the best .22 caliber cartridge for your needs.
Look for a reliable source. When you buy ammunition online, it's easy to find cheap ammunition. Unfortunately, this doesn't necessarily mean that the ammunition is going to perform well. You may think that you're saving money by purchasing cheap ammunition, but you'll soon discover that you're paying for it later. Cheap ammunition isn't worth the risk. Instead, look for a reputable source such as Cabela's, Federal Premium Ammunition, or Hornady. These manufacturers offer quality ammunition at affordable prices.
Buy bulk. Bulk purchases save you money. Moreover, you won't have to worry about running out of ammunition. Bulk ammunition is often sold at discounted prices, so you can stock up on ammunition at a fraction of the cost.
Consider reloading. Reloading is another way to save money. Rather than purchasing expensive factory loaded ammunition, you can use your own brass casings to load your own ammunition. This allows you to produce custom loads that suit your specific needs. You can even modify existing cartridges to create unique bullets. For instance, you might change the shape of a bullet to increase accuracy.
Purchase ammunition that meets your needs. There are different types of .22 caliber ammunition available.
Hollow points are great for self defense. They're made of soft copper jacket steel core bullets, which makes them ideal for target shooting and hunting. But they're also useful for personal protection. That's why many law enforcement agencies carry them. And now, you can add this popular bullet style to your collection!
Soft copper jackets. The Crkt Hollow Point Plus P features a soft copper jacket, which provides excellent penetration and expansion. This allows the round to expand upon impact, creating a larger wound channel. In addition, the soft copper jacket prevents overpenetration, which could cause damage to vital organs.
Copper jacket steel cores. The Crkt Hollow Point Plus P has a solid steel core, which gives the round its characteristic weight and balance. This combination creates a stable projectile that delivers consistent performance.
Point-folding design. The Crkt Hollow Point Plus P has been designed to fold into a compact package. This means you can easily store the round in your pocket or purse. And if you ever run out of ammunition, you can simply unfold the round and reload quickly.
Ruger name. The Crkt Hollow Point Plus P was developed exclusively for Ruger firearms. This ensures superior quality control and consistency throughout production.
Made in America. All Crkt Hollow Point Plus P rounds were manufactured right here in the United States using American-made components. This guarantees our customers the highest level of quality and reliability.
The Ruger Crkt Hollow Point Plus P is a .357 magnum revolver chambered in 9mm Luger. It features a 6" barrel and a 4 1/2 lb trigger pull. It uses a double action design and a hammer fired cartridge case. It is manufactured by Crkt Industries Inc. and distributed by Ruger.

Manchester has a rich music heritage, with iconic bands such as Stone Roses, Oasis, and Happy Mondays gaining legendary status.
And if you've ever wondered what it would have been like to meet them, ask photographer Kevin Cummins; he has photographed them all.
After studying photography for four years in Salford, Cummins embarked on a career that has become best known for his gritty portraits of Manchester bands.
The burgeoning punk scene in Manchester dominated his early work and he quickly became one of the best known photographers of the era, and is responsible for the defining images of many of the city’s seminal bands.
To celebrate the re-release of his most famous prints on Sonic Editions, Cummins has spoken out about his experience behind the lens.
From getting paint in the Stone Roses' eyes, to stopping fights between Liam and Noel Gallagher, here Cummins reveals what happened behind the scenes of the most iconic images from Manchester's music scene.
"When they turned up, there was no heating, it was a Sunday, in November. They were great actually, really patient. What I don’t think they’d realised is that once we started they couldn’t move, because the lines would be out of kilter. I did a couple of Polaroids without the paint on just to make sure the shape was right, and I’d ask John to start to paint them.
"I thought he’d actually get a brush out but he opened the gallon tin of a sky blue paint and just threw it across the room. It went everywhere and I just thought “Oh Christ, this is not going according to plan…” He then tipped the pot all over himself and got in the shot, so he was actually the only one who moved each time, the rest of them had to stay perfectly still.
"We then just build it up, colour by colour. I’d shoot a roll of film on that would say to him 'put some yellow in' and he’d get up and put some yellow in, grab some of the squirty thing and squirt it around. It was going in their eyes and we had no towels, it hadn’t even occurred to me to bring any. By the time we’d put each colour on it took us about two hours, and then at the end there was obviously quite some paint left over and I though I’d just do another shot of them against the wall. They decided they would just throw the paint around and I stood behind a polythene screen with my lens through it, my Hasselblad has got bits of paint around from that session still.
"They were then freezing cold, covered in all this emulsion paint, and clearly wanted to get it off. I had to say there were nowhere else in the building they could have a shower or anything as the only access I had was that room. So they were furious actually, they got handprints all down the stairwell of the building and then, all went back to Ian’s. I imagine it was like an “Enid Blyton” scene, they were all in the bath scrubbing each other’s back to get this paint off. Mani told me years later he still had the trousers from that session.
"I asked Reni for the hat as a souvenir. Oddly, I’ve used the hat for various things; it’s been used for at least two record sleeves and for a book cover. This hat is very iconic because everyone knows what it stands for, even now. When I went to see the Stone Roses at Wembley recently, there were thousands of people wearing painted bucket hats. The only reason Reni had a painted bucket hat was because of that shoot. He never had one before that."
"We met at the Mitre Hotel in Manchester near the Cathedral. The day before the shoot, I’d phoned my agent from the NME as it was snowing in Manchester to ask if we should cancel the session, because I thought the snow would date the pictures. So I was thinking journalistically really, and he said: “Well take some in the snow and do some indoors as well."
"So initially, I tried to do some pictures away from the snow, looking up at buildings - it was always the building that interested me, because it was a curved building at the corner of the street near Victoria Station. It’s long gone now.
"It’s a nice shot of them, and it is a nice shot because it is one of the few that is focusing on their faces rather than being a distant shot, so it’s always been a favourite of mine."
"I’d been on a world tour with the Mondays. We’d been to all sorts of ludicrous places and ludicrous behaviour generally. They played in Barcelona, but they were staying in Sitges.
"That day, we were supposed to do the pictures at 11 am, which was clearly never gonna happen because they haven’t even come back from their night out by then. By 6 o’clock they’d still haven’t turned up, the light was dropping at street level, and the only place we had any light left was on the roof of the hotel. I was looking at the Hotel sign and the neon came on, as the light dropped, I thought, this looks great and if I can get them standing under the “H. O. T.” of Hotel, it would capture that whole “summer of love” thing, you know.
"It was like September maybe when I took the shot, so coming to the end of that, we could be quite reflective and do a shot like that. As soon as Shaun and Bez arrived, I got them to stand under it. I thought, I’ve got to take a roll film quickly before the light goes, and then I could fill in with other pictures. So I did a whole roll of that, and while I was doing it, I realized what the next letter of Hotel was and thought it would be great if I could get a picture of Shaun on the letter E…And we could kind of make a joke of it but it will be a great picture.
"I didn’t think the NME would let us use it, but he climbed on it, broke the neon, so he broke the circuit of the hotel neon. So for the rest of the stay, the only thing that was flashing was the HOT of Hotel."
City 5-1, Liam and Noel Gallagher #1
"I photographed them in the studio with the Brothers shirts, we went outside for a kick about, and I’d sprayed the wall with Man City, and 5-1. Anything to have a go at United.
"I wanted them leaning against the (corrugated) tin and with a bit of attitude. Then, they decided to have a kick about, and the first thing Liam did was to kick a ball at Noel, so Noel got just really arsey about it and they just had a fight. It’s like everything deteriorated into a fight all the time, in the way of brother’s fight so its not like a real fight, as they would say it’s a play fight… The first time I saw it I just thought, I need it to stop this happening, and the road crew said “Just leave them, it’ll stop in a minute, don’t even think about it”.
Oasis Brothers , Liam and Noel Gallagher #2
"This session against the mural was for a Vox Magazine feature. They were going around Manchester, and I photographed them in front of Peveril of the Peak (A famous Manchester pub), and various other places.
"They’re both great, they both look cool, and they’ve both got quite a bit of attitude. But they’re both great to work with. They are absolutely proper rock stars, that’s what you want.
"They’re not rock stars in the American way, in that careerist way, they’re rock stars in a British way, which is a bit less tangible really, and also a bit edgier, cause you never quite sure what’s gonna happen. And that’s what is great about them."
"That’s May 91 in Cologne. I’ve gone to Cologne to show him some pictures we’d taken in Dublin a few weeks earlier, in the days before email, so I’d had to go to there for the day, and obviously took my pictures. I kind of like Morrissey’s sense of the absurd in a way, the way he’s plays up to his public persona. He would wear a t-shirt with himself on, rather than someone else’s…
"...he just wore it, he turned up in it. I would never ever dream to tell Morrissey to wear something else, if that’s what he wants to wear than that’s up to him."
"At the time I would just love photographing bands from the stage, because it would give you a feeling of what it must be like to be in a band. If you photograph somebody from the front of the stage, all you get is the stage and it could be anywhere. I think you get a sense of the excitement here.
"You’ve got the silhouette from the front spot, and you’ve got a sense of the audience there, and he is giving everything to them. I just wandered about the back of the stage and shoot from the stage as often as I could with bands that I worked with regularly."
Iggy in Manchester
"I shot a lot of Iggy that night, and it is one of the great, great gigs. Iggy in March ‘77 really galvanized a lot of people to be in bands, and even though that Sex Pistols gigs has gone down in folklore, the Iggy gig was equally, if not more important.
"A few of months later he came back to play again, in September 77'. Iggy was massively important as a performer, he was really dangerous, you just felt he was so out of control. And you could see that Ian (Curtis) was clearly massively influenced by Iggy. Ian didn’t take his shirt off, but his movements, and the danger.
"When you’re at the front at a gig and you’re in the pit, you’re quite exposed, and there were very few artists who you would feel were dangerous. I photographed a lot, but even with the Clash, I felt in danger from the audience rather than the band.
"But Iggy and Ian, you’d never knew what was going to happen with them. I could see a lot of similarities there, and I think Ian got more from that Iggy gig than from the Sex Pistols gig."
Shaun Ryder and Tony Wilson
"This was for an NME cover, and we were doing interviews of various people around. We did Tony Wilson, Bernard Sumner… I mean we interviewed maybe 4 or 5 people, about Manchester, the strength of it and why it was so important. It just happened the Madchester EP was out, and it was fly posted everywhere and I thought, photographing them in front of that would kind of pull it together as an image and explain a lot in a picture, so we didn’t have to put too much copy on it.
"It's great, and the fact that their heads are together, there’s a lot of intimacy in it. I don’t think a photographer who’d come from outside of the city would have photographed that, would have got that shot. We all felt we were part of a movement together, that’s why I think it worked so well."

Kenya's introduction of the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system and the President's announcement of visa-free entry have elicited mixed reactions. While aiming to streamline travel and boost tourism, the transition poses challenges for some travellers. The ETA mandates electronic authorisation for all international visitors, including those previously exempt from visas, raising concerns among stakeholders about added complexity and potential costs.
Implementing Kenya's Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system alongside its visa-free policy carries profound implications for international travellers and the country's tourism sector, shaping accessibility, traveller experience, and economic dynamics within the global travel landscape.
Enhanced Tourism Promotion
It aims to attract more tourists by removing visa requirements for some nationalities.
May increase tourism revenue and investment in Kenya's tourism sector.
Impact on Travel Ease
The introduction of the ETA system adds steps and potential fees for some previously exempt travellers.
This may discourage some visitors and harm Kenya's reputation as a tourist-friendly destination.
It aims to achieve economic growth through increased tourism, but the ETA fees and process could introduce challenges.
Effective management is crucial to ensure the benefits outweigh the potential drawbacks.
Examining the effects of Kenya's Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system provides insights into its implications for travellers and the tourism sector. This analysis evaluates how introducing the ETA alongside the visa-free policy has shaped travel dynamics and economic considerations within Kenya's tourism landscape.
ETA functions as a "visa under a different name."
It could hinder ease of travel and economic benefits.
Previously, visa-free travellers faced additional costs and paperwork.
It may discourage visitors or lead them to choose alternative destinations.
Concerns about the efficiency and accessibility of the ETA application process, especially for certain demographics.
May undermine efforts to position Kenya as an inclusive and welcoming destination.
Navigating through technical hurdles and financial considerations, Kenya's Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system strives to enhance accessibility and streamline processes, promising a smoother travel experience and a brighter outlook for tourism.
Is Kenya truly visa-free now?
While Kenya announced a visa-free regime in January 2024, it's only partially visa-free. Instead, they implemented an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system. This means all visitors, except citizens of certain exempt countries, must acquire an ETA before entering Kenya.
What's the difference between an ETA and an e-visa?
Both ETAs and e-visas are electronic pre-travel authorisations, but there are some key differences:
Who needs an ETA for Kenya?
Unless you're a citizen of a country exempt from the ETA requirement, you'll need to obtain one before travelling to Kenya. You can find the updated list of exempt countries on the official website.
How can I apply for a Kenyan ETA?
The ETA application process is entirely online through the official portal. You must provide basic information and travel details and pay the processing fee.
How long does it take to get an ETA?
While the official processing time is a few days, it's recommended to apply at least three days (and up to three months) before your departure to avoid any delays.

In a recent interview with The Guardian, John did not hold back on his thoughts about Hollywood these days and how weird it has become. Especially with the ages of actresses and the creep factor with young girls.
“I got another 15, 20 years before they say I’m old,” the veteran star told the publication. Cusack is currently acting in Maps to the Stars with Julianne Moore, Robert Pattinson, and Mia Wasikowska, among others, in a story that looks at the obsession with celebrity and stars’ falls from grace.
In the upcoming film, screenwriter Bruce Wagner comments on the value of youth, teasing that a 26-year-old actress is called “menopausal” by her younger costars.
“For women it’s brutal,” Cusack continued on aging in Hollywood. “Bruce’s thing about if you’re 26, you’re menopausal? It’s only absurd because it’s a little bit further than the truth.”
“I have actress friends who are being put out to pasture at 29,” The Butler star added. “They just want to open up another can of hot 22. It’s becoming almost like kiddie porn. It’s f–king weird.”
“People would look after you when I was a kid. There were good people in the business. When I came to L.A. Rob Reiner said: ‘Come stay at my house.’ He taught me. I worked with Pacino,” he said of his legendary City Hall costar. “Pacino would talk to you and mentor you. Now it’s different. The culture just eats young actors up and spits them out. It’s a hard thing to survive without finding safe harbor.”
Cusack also criticized the current economics of movies, with corporations investing in projects and big-budget franchises trumping all. “You can’t make it up,” Cusack said of Hollywood. “It’s a whorehouse and people go mad.”
Everything he says is totally true and totally disturbing. I mean.. Angelina Jolie has played Colin Farrel’s mother. In what universe is that considered normal? Roles for women above age 35 (and I’m being generous here) are no where, or they’re given to a 22 year old. It’s a sick cycle that shows no sign of slowing.

“We are moving quickly to reinvigorate Supervalu, and that starts with leadership,” said Sales. “The changes I have made to my executive team are designed to address two of our most immediate priorities: driving profitable sales in our retail stores and taking costs out of the business. These efforts are critical to our successful turnaround.”
To address profitable sales growth, Kevin Holt has taken on an expanded role as president of Supervalu-retail. In this position, Holt will drive the overall strategy for the company’s traditional retail and pharmacy divisions, including overseeing the marketing and merchandising functions. He will work closely with Sales and his leadership team to clearly develop the company’s strategic platform. Holt came to Supervalu in May from Hudsonville Ice Cream and Kilwin’s Quality Confections inMichigan, where he was the president. Prior to that role he spent three years with Sears Holding Company (Sears/Kmart) and 13 years with Meijer, working in leadership positions of increasing responsibility in retail, information technology and strategic planning.
As part of this change, executive VP and chief marketing officer Michael Moore will now report to Holt, as will Tim Lowe, who has been promoted to executive VP-merchandising. With nearly 20 years of retail experience, Lowe most recently served as Supervalu’s senior VP-merchandising and served as president of the company’s Shoppers Food & Pharmacy division from 2010-2012.
In addition, Janel Haugarth has accepted the newly created position of executive VP- business optimization and process improvement. She will be responsible for identifying and executing strategies to make Supervalu a more streamlined, effective organization. During her 35-year career with Supervalu, Haugarth has had leadership-level exposure to every area of the company, and has been instrumental in developing and implementing successful business strategies. Most recently she was EVP-merchandising and logistics. The company noted that with Haugarth’s full-time focus on enterprise-wide optimization it will consolidate logistics and procurement leadership under Fred Boehler, who will now report directly to Sales as the senior VP-supply chain.
“The team we have in place includes exceptional leaders whose combined experience will help lead us through the revitalization of our business,” said Sales. “I believe this new leadership alignment will allow us to act quickly, efficiently and effectively to drive the successful turnaround of Supervalu.”
The company also named a new president of its 56 store Baltimore-Washington Shoppers Food & Pharmacy division. Robert Bly, a former Sears/Kmart executive, was named to the post last month. Bly worked with Kevin Holt, both at Sears/Kmart and Meijer.

The relationship between human rights and religions has been an ongoing legal, political and social concern since the dawn of modernity. In recent years, a series of headlines have brought this issue to the fore, often with a focus on Muslim communities residing in Europe and surrounding regions. In a dissemination session entitled "Human rights and religion: an impossible coexistence?", held at the Law Faculty of Valencia University on 23 February 2016, several specialists assessed the contemporary situation and its implications for the promotion of human rights. This activity was organized within the "Innorights" and "Human rights, multicultural societies and conflicts" projects, both coordinated by professor Ángeles Solanes at the Human Rights Institute.

A local Australian steel products manufacturer is making waves in the solar world, recently installing on its own premises a rooftop solar farm that utilises ‘follow the sun’ technology to substantially increase power generation.
The 340 sun-tracking solar panels arranged on top of Hilton Engineering’s 15,000 square metre factory in the Dandenong South, in the south east extremities of Melbourne, were switched on for the first time on October 4t.
The project idea came about two years ago while working with ABB, an automated technology group, to start working on a test site. Hilton was happy to put forward their rooftop for the project.
The frames and tracking technology were built by Hilton and programmed by ABB. The benefit of Hilton’s lightweight frame means that the factory did not require any additional support requirements – a frequent problem for commercial rooftops.
The panels were provided by UpSolar and retrofitted with Tiogol technologies on each panel that enabled Hilton to monitor individual capacity and maintenance.
Jacques Esper, the project manager for Hilton, said that no one had done this type of an installation in Australia before and they wanted to make sure it was cutting edge technology.
“We spoke to our Managing Director about investing in the project, as the grant doesn’t cover the ‘follow the sun’ technology, and he was quite happy to invest to that little bit more to get great returns”.
The extra investment also allowed for a 40 square metre-viewing platform that that could be used in tours as a means to showcase the panels.
The company says the installation will provide 25 per cent of the power needs of the energy intensive business and reduce its bills accordingly. However, because the factory is closed half of Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, some excess power will have to be sold back to the grid.
Hilton has plans to sell and duplicate the project to other factories and Esper says there is interest from local and international companies.
Hilton applied for a $250,000 clean technology investment grant from AusIndustry and received approval early this year. The project took approximately six months to complete.
