Mr. Pareene first got noticed, rightfully, for his “Hack List” feature when he was still with Salon. Therein, he took mainstream pundits both “left” and right to task for, well, being idiots. What is impressive about the list is that although it was written years ago, when America’s political landscape was dramatically different from what it is today, it still holds up.
In 2012, after noting that while The New York Times has good reporting and that not all of their opinion columns were bad… most of them were. Putting it succinctly: “Ross Douthat is essentially a parody of the sort of conservative Times readers would find palatable, now that David Brooks is a sad shell of his former self, listlessly summarizing random bits of social science and pretending the Republican Party is secretly moderate and reasonable.” Mr. Pareene then goes on to note that Thomas Friedman is a “national embarrassment,” who “is a fraud and a simpleton, whose job is to sell comforting platitudes to rapacious plutocrats and those who aspire to be rapacious plutocrats.” The description of Mr. Douthat is right on point, as a more recent Chapo Trap House dissection reminds us. The description of Mr. Brooks is almost too nice. Remember when, in January of 2016, the man said, "It’s going to be Rubio. I’m telling you, it’s going to be Rubio." Mr. Friedman, blessedly, has lost considerable clout over the last half decade, but he is still at the Times, pretending to have learned his lesson from the Iraq War fiasco by advocating that President Trump launch an American occupation of Syria. The New York Times, impressively, decided to up its hack quotient recently by enlisting Bret Stephens to join them.
Two other publications who, as a whole, Mr. Pareene identified as being unwilling or unable to break from centrist clichés were The Washington Post and The Atlantic. Both have had considerable line-up changes in the intervening years, but the song remains the same. WaPo is the foremost mainstream publication now giving space to pro-Trump dupes such as Marc Thissen (who Mr. Pareene had lambasted years earlier)—a low matched only by the right-wing-but-respected Wall Street Journal. The Atlantic, meanwhile, is prominently features GOP ghouls, so long as they are protected by the veneer of being #NeverTrump, such as warmonger David Frum, whose hatred for immigrants makes his hatred for the President rather surprising. The magazine’s longstanding agitating for war with Iran is also worthy of condemnation—and another reason why their anti-Trump posturing is not nearly as logical as they’d like you to think. After all, it was not so long ago that the magazine ran essays championing American empire and even Henry Kissinger.
But perhaps even more important than its accuracy was the breakthrough that the Hack List represented. It was one of the first times that ruthlessly mocking and deconstructing the stupidity of our elite commentariat was taken mainstream. Salon was very popular when these polemics were getting published, and the Hack List helped make full throated assaults on legacy media institutions acceptable, and not just fodder for blogs or specialty leftist publications with miniscule circulations. This helped plenty of future left-wing intellectual bomb throwers attain a level of respectability that wouldn’t have been possible even a decade ago, from Jeet Heer to Corey Robin to Malcolm Harris.
You could claim that Mr. Pareene’s assumption about the 2012 video was a lucky guess, but then in 2016 he proved damn near clairvoyant. Back at Gawker, this time in as an editor, he wrote a shockingly on point piece called “Don’t Blow It.” The piece opens this way:
It’s Trump versus Clinton. It’s a well-funded mainstream Democrat against a widely reviled demagogue who will struggle to earn the support of his party’s donor base. It’s a man whose every public utterance is a potential negative ad waiting to be cut, versus the most cautious candidate in modern memory. The Clinton campaign has been given a tremendous gift, as I am sure they know.They better not fucking blow it.
They’re [the Clinton campaign] going to build Trump up as a reckless and virile force of nature—and a true outsider—rather than expose him as a pitiful clown and an obvious fraud. This is completely backwards. As any writer who’s ever received an angry personal response from Trump can tell you, you get under his skin by mocking and emasculating him, not by feeding the myth of his power and strength, the precise qualities his authoritarian followers adore.So, look: I’m not saying the Democrats are definitely going to blow it. But they’re more than capable of blowing it.
These days, Mr. Pareene ably serves as the politics editor at Splinter News, a more serious redux of Gawker. There, he continues to be insightful and funny. He can show you why the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville was a preview of the GOP’s future. He can explain how it is that Donald Trump lost his mind over the course of the last two decades. And, as always, he is quick to point out the infuriating ignorance of our chattering class.

Indian Electronics Manufacturer company Mitashi has launched its portable gaming console running on Android OS. This gaming console is dubbed as GameIn Thunder Bolt. It is priced at Rs. 6,799 and will join company’s existing gaming console GameIn Thunder.
Mitashi GameIn Thunder is powered by 1 GHz processor and runs on Android 4.0 Ice cream Sandwich. It has a 4.3 inch touchscreen display. It comes with 4 GB internal storage and a microSD card slot. It also has Wi-Fi connectivity. It features a 2 megapixel rear camera and 0.3 megapixel rear camera.
We are not sure about the RAM of the device as company has not mentioned it at the time of announcement. It also comes with Google Play Store app to download and play games. It also plays other multi format (8 Bit, 16 Bit, 32 Bit) games. As we are not sure about RAM, we can not say what games you can play on this. But it would work fine for casual games like Angry Birds, Temple Run or Cut the Rope.
With GameIn Thunder Bolt, Mitashi is targeting kids who want a good gaming console. All these features are available in many smartphones built for better gaming. But the cost of the device may attract customers.

JAT gets [SL]A+ ICTA rating with Stable Outlook again
JAT Holdings PLC has now retained this prestigious Issuer Rating for the 6th consecutive year, attesting to the company’s solid financial position and the respect it commands amongst the investment community.
JAT recently wooed investors through a successful oversubscribed IPO and listing on the Colombo Stock Exchange. Aelian Gunawardene – Founder & Managing Director JAT Holdings PLC said, “The [SL]A+ rating from ICRA is a very prestigious rating that is coveted by the corporate community and the standards required to obtain it, are exceptional, rigorous and thorough. JAT Holdings PLC having achieved this rating continuously for 6 years is a clear indicator of the Company’s strength, stability and position.” As a result of its market-leading role and commitment to innovation, JAT Holdings FY2021, the Company’s operating profit margin (OPM) improved to 14.1% against 13.8% in the year prior, supported by a higher revenue share from wood coatings, which enjoys higher margins. In Q1 of FY2022, the company’s OPM further improved to 14.9% on account of improved management efficiencies.
The LKR 1.5 billion raised through its IPO in July 2021 will further enable the company to fund capex while maintaining its healthy capital structure over the medium-term.

It's August, and that means that it's time for three things: festivals, weddings and dancing. In this season of making hay in whatever patches of sunshine we can muster, there is one must-have accessory that will see us glide joyfully from occasion to occasion.
CIDER. In all guises, rough and ready, sparkling and sophisticated, fruity, dry, home-made with bits of twig and dead mice floating in it... You name it, it's cider season. So what better than to have a cake to match? I'm spoilt; living in Bristol, we have a whole shop just dedicated to the stuff. I wanted a medium-sweet cider so I went for Oliver's 'Making Hay', but a drive into your local countryside should yield a couple of farm shops selling off drums of boozy apple goodness.
What's more, this pudding is so easy, you can make it
Summer Cider Apple PuddingYou will need:
For the cider apples:
- 1 large apple, peeled and sliced
- 50ml good-quality still cider
- 125g self-raising flour
- 125g golden caster sugar
- 50g roughly chopped nuts (I used almonds and walnuts)
- 100g butter
- 50ml cider
- 1 large free-range egg, beaten
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 large apple, peeled and chopped into chunks
The cider apples:
- Place the sliced apples in a shallow saucepan with just enough cider to cover them.
- Poach over a low heat for 10 minutes, until the cider has reduced away and the apples are soft, but still retain their shape.
- Set aside to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4. Lightly grease a 20cm cake tin (springform or silicon).
- Place the flour, sugar and nuts in a bowl and stir together.
- Soften the butter until almost melted and tip into the flour mixture.
- In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the cider, egg and cinnamon.
- Pour into the rest of the ingredients, along with the apple chunks, and stir until evenly distributed.
- Spoon half of the batter into the tin and smooth over.
- Arrange the cider apples into a layer over the top of the batter, spreading out but stopping 1 inch short of the edge.
- Top with the remaining batter, smoothing out the top.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until golden and a skewer inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Cool for a minute or two in the tin, before turning out onto a wire rack.
- Poke some holes in the top of the cake and spoon over a few tablespoons of cider to soak in... before drinking the rest.
- Eat warm with clotted cream or custard or BOTH.

Bleijie’s old boss links new anti-bikie laws to Nazi era
THE man who moved Jarrod Bleijie's admission as a solicitor has likened new anti-bikie laws to the Nazi era and says the Attorney-General has forgotten the basics of the law.
Kyle Kimball, a senior director of Sajen Legal where Mr Bleijie worked from 2006 until his election to Parliament in 2009, said new laws eroded civil liberties.
The State Government's new Vicious Lawless Associations Disestab
lishment Bill and the Criminal Gang Destruction Bill have been criticised by civil libertarians and legal experts who say they give the government the power to declare groups and people to be criminals without a trial.
The Attorney-General will also have the power to keep people in jail indefinitely under other legislative changes.
Mr Kimball took to Facebook to challenge Mr Bleijie's sweeping new laws.
"Nothing like removing judicial discretion eh JB? And your very own star chamber to boot?" he wrote.
"Are the constabulary so woefully inefficient that they are unable to prove a case and secure a conviction without a coerced confession by some throwback process from the middle ages?
"What's on the agenda after bikies? Who else will be for the truth serum?"
Mr Kimball told the Daily that the new laws showed disregard for laws developed over hundreds of years to protect people from persecution.
He pointed out fascist governments had been empowered by similar laws.
"The Nazis came to power with pieces of law like this," he said. "It may seem melodramatic but it's not."
Mr Kimball said the legislative changes also disregarded principles of sentencing which required consideration of the circumstances of the case and consistency of sentencing.
"I thought my partners and I had taught him better, but what we taught him seems to have vanished," he said.
Mr Kimball said the Attorney-General had not responded to any of his Facebook posts.
He said Mr Bleijie would not be surprised that he had challenged him as the Sajen legal office had always been a scene of debate.
"I'd just like to get Jarrod to think about it from a different perspective."

In 1950, the Brevard Street Methodist congregation voted to move to the new location. The site chosen was a six-acre lot on Albemarle Road (Central Avenue today). The Charlotte Mission Society assisted the congregation in the purchase of this new property.
The name of the newly relocated church was changed from Brevard Street Methodist to Memorial Methodist Church.
The first building erected at Memorial Methodist Church was completed in March 1954 (with the first worship services held on March 21, 1954.) Today, that current structure is still in use and is known as the Memorial East Wing. Approximately one year later, the Munday Fellowship Hall was finished. The administrative building containing the current sanctuary, offices, and additional classrooms was completed in 1959. Lastly, an addition was made to this building in 1966 to add more classroom space and an additional Fellowship Hall in the basement.
After more than sixty years at Memorial’s present location, the church has seen a large demographic shift within the church’s community. What was once predominantly a mainly Caucasian neighborhood being an ethnic mixture of Hispanics, Asians, Caucasians, and African Americans. The church is an essential part of this neighborhood and is a community resource. In addition to being the worship home for three different languages: English, Spanish & Jarai; Memorial UMC has a community Preschool, Hobby and crafting groups, a talented Choir, United Methodist Women and Men’s groups, Spiritual Yoga and Zumba Classes and is home to the Emerald School and A Place for Heroes.

At the Diagnostic Assignment Meeting on Nigeria’s Mining Sector Governance Landscape and Prospect, which was coordinated by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group and the Ford Foundation, Olamilekan Adegbite, the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, advocated for the necessity of industries making investments to ensure that water bodies are not polluted as a result of mining activities. A representative from the Ministry, Engr Magashi, said on behalf of the Minister that if water pollution is unavoidable, then the industry should take the necessary steps to purify the water.
He stated that mining is a significant contributor to Nigeria’s economy and that its activities, regardless of how large or little they are, are inevitably hazardous to the environment and generate a vast amount of waste. According to the Minister, mining operations slowly but surely degrade both the quality and quantity of water; as a result, preserving the water’s quality is the most pressing environmental concern at mines and mineral processing sites. It has a significant impact on both the surface water and the ground.
Necessary measures and investments should be made in the sector.
The mining industry has a significant effect on water supplies. Some ways mining may affect surface and groundwater include spills, segmentation, acid mines, drainage, erosion, and the disruption of the hydrological cycle. When it comes to water resources, acid mining drainage is a major concern. Mines with acid discharge may cause long-term river ecosystem damage. Hence, industries should invest heavily in preventing water contamination, treating and containing any contamination which does occur in affected reservoirs, canals, pipelines, and other storage facilities. Environmentally friendly techniques and technology should also be promoted within the mining industry.
Furthermore, Mr. Dele Ayankele, Secretary of the Miners Association of Nigeria, stated in his presentation that the world is now through a transformation to green energy at this moment and that Nigeria possesses everything necessary for this transformation that the rest of the world is seeking. This conference is much appreciated; he believes it will help them progress and supplement the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development’s efforts to ensure the mining industry fulfils its function and mission.
Gender equality has not been fulfilled in the mining industry.
Dr. Osasuyi Dirisu, Director of the Policy Innovation Centre at NESG, gave an address on gender challenges in the mining industry, noting that women are underrepresented at all levels of the industry. She stated that women being marginalized and segregated creates situations favorable to sexual exploitation or abuse and that disparities are structural since various policies have different effects on men and women. According to Dr. Dirisu, despite efforts by the government and gender-focused institutions to promote gender equality across sectors in Nigeria, significant gender inequalities continue, especially in the mining industry.
She attributed this partly to the prevalence of gender stereotypes, which she argued perpetuate erroneous beliefs about the characteristics women and men are expected to have and display in their traditional roles. She states that women in mining areas have restricted opportunities for land rights, finance schemes and mining licenses, all of which contribute to the worsening of poverty, the exacerbation of inequalities, and the threat to the establishment of sustainable communities as a result of the decommissioning of mines.
The female gender is negatively influenced by the mining industry.
Moreover, domestic responsibilities limit the free movement of the gender, which further threatens their economic security. The mining industry has a negative effect on women, kids, people with disabilities, and other marginalized communities. As residents of mining communities, employees and service providers in the mining industry, they suffer damage to community assets and water. She also noted that they bear a disproportionate share of the burden of issues relating to health and safety, criminality, prostitution, substance abuse, ruined farmlands, and environmental damage.

The production, titled “Wedlock of the Gods,” marries African culture with the Shakespearean classic “Romeo and Juliet.” Set in Nigeria, the play focuses on a young woman who reconnects with her true love after the death of her arranged husband. The play was written by the first published Nigerian woman playwright, Zulu Sofola, and the cast is predominantly composed of Black actors of the School of Dramatic Arts. The show will be performed on campus at Bing Theater from September 29 through October 2.
Show director Bayo Akinfemi said the play’s importance is directly correlated to its relevance in the current world.
“It’s about a woman who is basically trying to fight against the oppressive patriarchal institution. I thought in this current atmosphere in the [United States]. … It was really relevant,” said Akinfemi, who was assigned last year to SDA’s literary committee and proposed “Wedlock of the Gods.”
Stage manager Marcus Maia added that the show’s unique blend of legacy and modernity makes it an important play for SDA to put on.
“I’ve never seen a production like this in my, albeit respectively short, career in theater,” Maia said. “To center and honor a story that takes place in a Black community outside of the United States, whilst still offering it the same respect and authenticity we give to the characters in more Eurocentric and well-known texts is something that makes ‘Wedlock of the Gods’ special and necessary.”
The choreographer of “Wedlock of the Gods,” Shannon Grayson, has incorporated elements of West African dance to connect with the storyline, a change from other SDA plays that have Eurocentric choreographies.
“I feel like, again, because of the pandemic, even the racial pandemic that we had, it’s opened up the eyes of everyone, including the university. And SDA can really take advantage of that,” Grayson said. “We have so many teachers around here that are immersed in these art forms that can incorporate it in our shows to make it modernized or contemporary.”
Students performing in “Wedlock of the Gods” shared the impact the play had on them personally. Nia Baker, a junior majoring in theatre with an entertainment industry minor, played Nneka, mother of Ogwoma.
“It’s just so African-centric and it showcases the beauty, magic and honestly, just a really authentic African-centric story,” Baker said. “And it was created by this phenomenal playwright. It’s kind of been a really beautiful journey for me.”
Jordan Anderson, a sophomore majoring in acting for the stage, screen and new media who plays the character Okolie, said they loved working with the rest of the cast and crew.
“The cast, you know, everyone in here is really talented and they’re really amazing,” Anderson said. “They show the truth of the story very well. And with Bayo’s direction, it shows it even more fantastically.”
Tickets to see “Wedlock of the Gods” can be purchased online at this link.

But Bettles began noticing a change her sport some time ago – and it came from the big screen.
In 2012 The Hunger Games hit cinemas with bow-wielding heroine Katniss Everdeen, portrayed by Oscar-winning actor Jennifer Lawrence, capturing the imaginations of millions.
And although Bettles doesn't cite the Gary Ross movie as her own inspiration, she is acutely aware that without it, and Disney's Brave, there would be far fewer females in the talent pool when the Olympics roll around in exactly one year's time.
"I think that there is a much better gender balance in archery now than there was ten or 15 years ago and that is down to movies like Brave and The Hunger Games," said Bettles.
"There's been a large influx in female archers after those movies, there's certainly more females with the confidence to pick up a bow now.
"I heard a lot of students come along to the archery society while I was at university and said 'I just watched The Hunger Games and I wanted to give it a go'.
"I think there is also a slight misconception in the sport that females aren't strong enough but the sport uses different muscles to what you might expect.
"I have seen big strong rugby players struggle with bows and yet some very small female athletes do it with ease and are very good at it."
Bettles first started shooting for fun as a 13-year-old but after just a few years of participation, other priorities minimised the amount of free time she had and the bow went into storage.
It wasn't until she arrived at Cardiff University to study medical engineering that she got back into the sport and rapidly discovered that she had the talent to compete at a national level.
Since graduation and subsequently leaving her job at an artificial joint manufacturer, the recurver from Romford has been drawing on the experience of training partner and four-time Olympian Naomi Folkard ahead of what she hopes will be a landmark achievement next year.
"I have never experienced an archery atmosphere like the one in the Netherlands when we qualified and I think that just shows how much was riding on it and the direction that our sport is moving in," said Bettles.

Increased production of biofuel crops will not lead to higher food prices, the European Commission has claimed.
In a report out today (24 July), the Commission said incoming regulation on biofuels could increase demand in the EU by only 3.1% by 2020.
Earlier this year, EU ministers approved setting a target for biofuels to cover 10% of EU fuel demand, and the Commission is drafting legislation which would force member states to increase biofuel production and consumption.
In the long term, energy crops could be grown on fallow set aside fields leaving considerable land available for biofuel production, the Commission said.
The Commission cited a stagnating and aging population in the EU that will eat significantly less meat than levels seen in the last decade, depressing demand for meat and cereals.
Limited domestic and foreign markets will therefore reduce feed demand in the EU, increasing the availability of feedstock and land for biofuel production, heading off price rises for food and ingredients, the Commission said.

Among the given choices, in the embryos of a typical dicot and a grass, true homologous structures are cotyledons and scutellum. This is because scutellum is also cotyledon of monocot seeds. It is a single cotyledon found in monocot seeds and occupies the major portion of embryo. Cotyledon are the part of embryo, that serve as nutritive tissue for developing embryo. Cotyledons found in dicot seeds are two while only single cotyledon is found in monocot seeds which is known as scutellum.

Ann Marie Taylor presides over a lavish display of bacon-wrapped filets, boneless strip sirloins and "ground gourmet" burgers.
As area manager of the Omaha Steakshop at Chevy Chase Pavilion -- one of Omaha Steaks International's new retail shops located in some of the region's most fashionable shopping settings -- Taylor finds herself pushing pricey, Midwestern corn-fed beef to residents of a largely chicken and pasta town.
It would seem quite a change from a long career in fashion, first as a model and most recently as a district manager overseeing 15 women's clothing stores. She argues, though, that the match between Omaha Steaks and a dedicated subscriber to Women's Wear Daily is not that unlikely.
"It's like a fashion show everyday," said Taylor, 50, a Delaware native who on her 16th birthday took a job at a Wanamaker's department store in Wilmington. "I have the people here opening the boxes of steak like they're opening a box of diamonds."
Indications that the retail clothing business was heading for hard times made the transition from fashion to food relatively easy, but it has required some education.
She traveled to the company's Omaha headquarters, watching the process by which the meats are aged, hand-trimmed and "flash frozen." She said she has become a believer.
The Midwestern bravado that corn-fed beef is better than any other is true, Taylor said.
"When I brought home my first box of filets, I couldn't believe it," she said.
Omaha Steaks general manager Todd Simon said: "Someone like Ann Marie, who is new to the business, is really an asset. She knows sales because she has always done that, but she can work with our customers more as one of them." .
The entry of Omaha Steaks into the Washington area market began years ago with a strong mail order presence, public relations director Marilyn Pred said.
The decision to open a kiosk at Union Station and upscale retail outlets, called Omaha Steakshops, on Rockville Pike and at the new Chevy Chase Pavilion represents an effort to seize on the Washington area's reputation as a place for gourmet tastes and the ready cash to support that appetite.
Taylor said business at the stores, which opened in October, is split between customers used to ordering Omaha Steaks and customers unfamiliar with the company's 38-page color brochure and selections such "The Nobleman," an assortment of 24 filets, strip and T-bone steaks for $244, and "The Elegant Evening," a package of six filet mignons and six boneless strips for $130.
"We settled on an area with people who have some discretionary income," Pred said.
The new Washington area stores, which offer mail-order or take-out boxes of frozen meats, are the company's first outlets outside of the Omaha area and Texas.
Simon said the privately held business, begun in 1917 by his Soviet immigrant relatives, had sales of $90 million last year. Since then, the company has adjusted its inventory to the times, in recent years adding frozen, prepared chicken and fish dishes.
Taylor said she is not worried that a national decline in meat sales might translate into a problem for Omaha Steaks.
"When people do buy meat they're buying a better quality and they'll pay a little more," she said.
It is that appeal to quality that Taylor believes will make Omaha Steaks a fixture in the Washington area, even though it is a market often more preoccupied with the presentation of meat than the meat itself.
For example, a ride up Chevy Chase Pavilion's glass elevator reveals that Willows restaurant is serving a veal chop stuffed with sage, goat cheese and pine nuts.
On the lower level, Taylor and her Omaha Steakshop staff are dispensing their selections unadorned, generally suggesting only the slightest seasonings.
Simon said his employees must be versatile because Washington consumers like to enjoy both the fancy and the plain.
"That won't change, but Ann Marie is accustomed to the tastes there and it's better in that case to not have someone from the Midwest, where the meat choices are simpler," Simon said.
In her Fair Oaks home, Taylor continues her longtime hobby of cooking. When pressed, she said that her favorite cut is now London Broil, but that could change as she experiments.
"It's fun when you can help someone enjoy something in a new way," Taylor said. "Just the other day, I discovered a little nutmeg and tarragon on the steak makes it taste wonderful. The customer, she loved that."

British «Ghost Hunters» caught a long-legged Ghost in an abandoned psychiatric hospital
«Ghostbusters», consisting of Kayla Peberdy and her three companions, visited the British abandoned psychiatric hospital Denbigh Asylum in Wales. There they took a few pictures, one of which displayed a long-legged shadowy figure.
Peberdy and her friends visited the clinic on the night of 2 December 2017 and not seen a Ghost personally, although I heard strange, scary noises and echoes of voices, from which they were goosebumps. The Ghost on one of the pictures taken in the corridor, they saw only when it became too late to consider photos.
Kyle believes that this could be one of those who worked in this facility and she says that while being in the room felt the presence of something supernatural in the room was a kind of tension.
«As soon as we got back to the car and began to look at the pictures, I was shocked to see the Ghost. I even had severe pain in his chest from the fright and I had nothing to say at this point».
Kyle says that they had previously heard stories about who lived in the building of ghosts and so decided to go there. But apparently one thing to hear and another to see it firsthand. Although Kayla and her friends consider themselves experts in the field of the paranormal and not the first time they have been in terrible areas.
Despite the scare, Kayla and her group want to return soon to the former clinic and even stay the night in the room of the morgue, hoping to capture something unusual.

What We Do
Five Administrations thirteen Congresses and sixteen Supreme Court Justices together, have neglected to protect people from harms and crimes online since 1997. RUI’s hypothesis is this Internet unaccountability on autopilot is primarily a failure of humanity, morals, and ethics.
Most Internet policies minimize government to maximize efficiency and profit. This technologic and economic absolutism has led to dehumanizing extremes. It is telling that people online are not humans, citizens, or customers, but dehumanized, rights-less, and consent-less ‘users’ & ‘products.’
RUI’s research and education seeks to restore people as a high priority in Internet policy/design. It appears unreasonable and indefensible that a ‘We the people’ Constitutional Government with an oath to support/defend the Constitution, doesn’t protect ‘the people’ from harm online by design.
To address inhuman Internet policies/designs, RUI seeks to work with scholars and contributors of every religion and non-religious ethical tradition who support protecting humanity and the most universally accepted people protection principle — the Golden Rule / Ethic of Reciprocity.
Universal Internet unaccountability is the problem RUI addresses.
This unaccountability problem stems from the common purpose of 1990s U.S. Internet policies and tech designs being an “absence of government” — the definition of ‘anarchy’ and maximal unaccountability – and the antithesis of Constitutional rights, limited government, and rule of law.
For 26 years, the American people have suffered unprotected from harms, crimes, and dangers that they cannot protect themselves against — a dereliction of Government’s duty and fidelity to the Constitution, the authority for all government accountabilities.
Universal Internet accountability is the solution RUI proposes.
Our goal and solution is to fully restore U.S. Constitutional authority over the U.S. Internet to restore its sovereign authority, accountabilities, checks & balances, rights, and rule of law, online.
An Internet accountability coalition and public education campaign to restore Constitutional accountability online can generate the needed public accountability for Government, technology and corporations to protect people from online harms.
The solution is good government doing its duty. Protect people online like offline, equal protection under the law. ‘Same rules’ is the only reasonable, universal, and time-tested Internet accountability solution that most can support with intended consequences.
- Sovereignty, borders, the social contract, ‘We the People’ Constitutional authority, limited government, individual rights, rule-of-law, due process, and a duty of care, exist for the common good.
- Limits, checks, balances, laws, rules, processes, procedures, rights, properties, and moral/ethical responsibilities are necessary and reasonable accountabilities for the common good.
- Freedom with responsibility and power with accountability are necessary and reasonable common goods.
- Online anarchy’s extreme impunity to do whatever one wants to others is tyranny not liberty or equality.
- When one side, government, breaks the reciprocity of the social contract with universal Internet unaccountability policies, it naturally causes a breakdown in the ethic of reciprocity by the other side, i.e., society and the common good of its lawfulness, good behavioral norms, morals/ethics, and humanity.
- The Ethic of Reciprocity/The Golden Rule is among the greatest common goods because it discourages the worst in us and encourages the good in us: e.g., love, respect, responsibility, compassion, humanity, mercy, forgiveness, tolerance, reason, self-preservation, prudence, self-control, patience, honesty, integrity, civility, fidelity, dignity, decency, and a conscience to do right not wrong and good not evil.
- An offline/online conduct double standard is inherently counterproductive, bipolarizing, and a nation divided.
- Inputs drive outputs; one gets the universal conduct one universally tolerates, incentivizes, and rewards.
- People and their rights are precious warranting reasonable government, technology & corporate protections.
- It is necessary and reasonable to fully restore U.S. Constitutional authority over the U.S. Internet.
RUI’s Research and Education asks/answers key questions, to advance Internet accountability and protect people from online harm. RUI embraces the Socratic Method.
For Government and Technology
- Are anarchy and America compatible?
- Are people and children worth protecting?
- Should morals, ethics, and human rights matter online?
- Who should govern us, people or technology?
- Is Government captive to technology elites?
For The American Public
- Should the Wild West Internet ever be civilized?
- Should Government continue to ban protecting people from out-of-control, cybercrime, cyberattacks, cyberfraud, and cyberbullying?
- Has Wild West Internet policy made America less: Safe? Secure? Stable? United? Prosperous? Free? Equal? Fair? Honest? Good?
- Do you want an out-of-control or in-control America and life?
- Do you want a better life and America for the next generation?
RUI’s evidence-driven research holds government policymakers and self-regulated technologies and corporations, publicly accountable for reasonably protecting people from online harm.
RUI is pioneering new research tools to address the many unaddressed, Wild West Internet, macro questions and problems that warrant answers and solutions.
MacroInternetics Research: is the study of the Internet and its policies/designs’ unusual systemic dynamics — i.e., incentives/disincentives; causes/effects; scale/scope; and help/harm — to understand their impacts on humanity, values, society, government, technology, and the economy.
Help-Harm Analysis: complements static, quantitative, and economic, cost-benefit analysis, with dynamic, qualitative, and people-centric, Help-Harm analysis. Together they can assess if an Internet policy/design helps people via prevention, protection, service, improvements, remedies etc.; and/or if it harms via endangerment, injury, damage, impairment, corruption, suffering etc.
RUI is organized to provide educational materials, programs, and events, for and to the public, Internet Accountability Coalition stakeholders, and the Government, primarily online via a variety of media and methods.
RUI’s educational efforts will complement public policy analysis with RUI’s pioneering MacroInternetics Research and Help-Harm Analysis; the Socratic Method of asking thought provoking and ethics evoking Key Questions; and reason, logic, common sense, conscience, and documented evidence and statistics.
RUI’s public education subjects include but are not limited to: Internet unaccountability/accountability; U.S. Internet public policy and technology designs; macrointernetics; pluralistic ignorance; how anarchy inverts incentives; The Tragedy of the Internet Commons; winner-take-all wealth transfers; the overall problem of America’s Weakening; the universal solution of restoring Constitutional authority online; practical Internet accountability solutions; humanity, moral/ethical, and rights dilemmas online; and Institutional capture vs. public accountability.

Hornady's .17 Mach 2
January 04, 2011
Hornady (Dept. ST, P.O. Box 1848, Grand Island, NE 68803; 308-382-1390; www.hornady.com) has developed a brand-new rimfire cartridge. To announce the new .17 Mach 2, Hornady teamed up with 15 other ammunition and firearms makers for the largest industry-wide product introduction in firearms history.
Based on the .22 Long Rifle rimfire case, the new .17 Mach 2 (.17M2) is necked to seat a 17-grain, .17-caliber Hornady V-Max bullet and is powered to a nominal 2100 fps velocity from a standard SAAMI-reference 24-inch rifle barrel. (That's nearly 70 percent faster than a standard-velocity .22 LR.) Observed velocities from a 5.5-inch auto pistol barrel, incidentally, run about 1640 fps. From a rifle at 175 yards the .17M2 is still going faster than a .22 LR at the muzzle. The muzzle energy of the .17M2's 17-grain bullet (166 ft-lbs) is 18 percent greater than a 40-grain .22 LR (140 ft-lbs). Its trajectory is flat! Zeroed at 100 yards, the .17M2 has only a 0.7-inch mid-range rise at 50 yards; a .22 LR has a 2.9-inch rise.
The overall length of the new .17-caliber load is the same as the .22 LR cartridge, although the length of the necked-down .17M2 case is longer than a .22 LR case, to accommodate the smaller .17-caliber bullet. Still, the matching overall length and case-body dimensions of the .17M2 and the .22 LR will allow the .17M2 to function in standard .22 LR magazine configurations of all types, so any existing .22 LR rimfire firearm manufacturer in the world can adapt any of its existing .22 LR gun models to the new load simply by fitting them with .17-caliber barrels with the .17M2 chamber. Yes, that's what I said: any existing .22 LR rimfire firearm--any bolt-action rifle or pistol, any semiautomatic rifle or pistol, any single-shot rifle or pistol, any revolver, any pump-action, any whatever. The only engineering/mechanical tinkering necessary to the conversion for any of these designs is that the recoil-spring timing of some .22 LR semiautomatic mechanisms will need to be adjusted to take account of the .17M2's different time/pressure curve. The transition will be even easier for gunmakers who are already offering product chambered for the .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (.17 HMR), as the .17M2's bore and rifling specifications are also the same.
Taking The Gun World By Storm
The new cartridge was announced simultaneously by Hornady and all other participating manufacturers at the 2004 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, on February 11th. It was the culminating moment of an unprecedented development arc that began soon after the original introduction of the wildly popular .17 HMR in 2002. Hornady engineer Dave Emary, who had conceived and guided the .17 HMR to reality, had actually begun tinkering with the .17M2 concept almost before the final specification and performance proofs for the .17 HMR had been completed. The .17 HMR was based on a necked-down .22 WMR case, and its impressive 2550 fps velocity, incredibly flat trajectory, and superb accuracy immediately led Emary to experiment with the same 17-grain V-Max bullet in a smaller, necked-down .22 Long Rifle case.
Considering the size disparity of the two cases, the results were initially surprising, even to Emary. Using what were essentially traditional-type .22 LR propellants, he had no problem reaching velocities averaging 2100 fps (almost twice the speed of sound; hence, the eventual ".17 Mach 2" name) within pressure levels compatible to the .22 LR case. And the little load's 0.7-inch trajectory profile was in fact quite reasonably close to the bigger .17 HMR, which has a 0.1-inch mid-range rise with a 100-yard zero. In essence, Emary's new invention was 70 percent hotter and 2.2 inches flatter than the parent .22 LR, and only 18 percent slower and 0.6 inch less flat than the faster .17 HMR. By any standard it absolutely "hummed."
The new .17 Mach 2 (L) is based on the .22 Long Rifle rimfire case (R) but is necked to seat a 17-grain, .17-caliber Hornady V-Max bullet.
A design group headed by Emary and Hornady Project Development Engineer Mitch Mittelstaedt then coalesced around the cartridge. The basic development work for the new load was actually completed within six months of the announcement of the .17 HMR--more than two and a half years ago. They decided to call the cartridge the .17 Hornady Mach 2 (because it "hums too," get it?). Hornady took out patents on the design and trademarked the name and then sat back to consider what to do with it.
There were some very practical issues to consider. The most important being the immediate, amazing, unprecedented, overwhelming, and absolutely unexpected success of the .17 HMR--which, as every shooter in America knows, took the entire firearms world by storm. Hornady readily admits it was absolutely unprepared for the .17 HMR monster it had created.
The .17M2 (L) is 70 percent hotter and 2.2 inches flatter than the .22 LR and only 18 percent slower and 0.6 inch less flat than the faster .17 HMR (R).
To date, Hornady has manufactured in excess of 147 million bullets for the .17 HMR, and the ammo is still backor- dered. The .17-caliber Hornady V-Max bullet is not easy to make. Just like a bigger centerfire bullet, it involves a carefully assembled drawn copper cup, lead core, and polycarbonate tip insert, perfectly balanced and concentric. The tiny components are difficult to work with from a manufacturing point of view. And the tolerances are much more critical than with larger caliber bullets: The slightest imbalance will cause massive losses in accuracy and round-to-round consistency. And rimfire shooters simply devour bullets.
So when the developmental work on the new .17M2 was completed, .17 HMR customers were still waiting, sometimes for months, to buy .17 HMR ammunition. Therefore, it didn't make sense for Hornady to introduce yet another .17 rimfire cartridge, using the same bullet as the .17 HMR.
Two things happened. First, Hornady embarked on a crash program to increase its .17-caliber bullet production capacity. Second, Steve Hornady decided to make the .17M2 available to the industry as a whole from the outset.
Beginning just over a year ago, Hornady began providing cartridge specifications and prototype .17M2 ammunition loads to a long list of SAAMI-member U.S. firearms and ammunition manufacturers and selected other companies and overseas ammo and gunmaker
s. Many prototype firearms were quickly developed, and several other rimfire ammunition makers signed on to produce the load.
On the ammunition side, under agreements established thus far, .17M2 ammo will be loaded by Hornady, Remington, and ATK/Speer in the U.S. and Eley in Europe. On the firearms side, Hornady initially supplied specifications and ammo samples to Ruger, Marlin, Thompson/Center, Taurus, Savage, Remington, North American Arms, Browning/Winchester, and Smith & Wesson. In Europe, under the continent-wide shooting industry organization C.I.P., Eley has shared the specifications with Anschutz and CZ, which will also soon be offering .17M2 guns.
A Marlin prototype rifle carried an impromptu barrel stamping of the new .17M2.
Along the way, there was a slight name change. New ammunition under the Hornady label will have the trademarked .17 Hornady Mach 2 designation, but so as not to impose his name on the whole industry, Steve Hornady, in a generous gesture, agreed that the official SAAMI designation should be simply .17 Mach 2. The .17HM2 loads from Hornady will carry red-tip V-Max bullets. Bullets loaded in Remington .17M2 ammo will have green tips. The V-Max bullets in Eley's .17M2 loads will have blue tips, and the loads will be marketed as "Blue Streak." The ATK loads will feature the TNT hollowpoint bullet. Part of the whole deal, as you might surmise, is that Hornady will remain the sole .17 rimfire bullet supplier for these other ammomakers, at least initially.

At the SHOT Show .17 Mach 2 unveilings in February, production-ready .17 M2 rifles and handguns were shown by Taurus, T/C, Browning, Marlin, and Anschutz. Eley displayed its Blue Streak ammo. Several other manufacturers announced intentions to join the parade in the coming year, including Ruger and Remington. Spokesmen for the major-name companies involved in the .17 Mach 2 project, including Hornady's competitors, are uniformly delighted with Steve Hornady's decision to make the new load available industry-wide and expect it to be a significant addition to the shooting sports community worldwide.
Tony Aeschilmann of Marlin (which officially unveiled two Marlin bolt-action rifle models plus a single shot in the New England Firearms line) says, "We regard this as a major introduction. We have worked closely with Hornady since their development of the .450 Marlin cartridge for us, and we expect additional Marlin models will follow soon."
Taurus had a snubnose .17 M2 revolver all ready to go, and Taurus COO Bob Morrison observed, "The huge success of the .17 HMR is clear evidence the even-more-economical .17 Mach 2 will be a huge success. Its place in history is assured. It will become the rimfire of choice for anyone interested in velocity and power."
Scott Grange from Browning, which added the .17 M2 to its Buck Mark semiautomatic line, says, "This is a natural evolution of the .17 HMR the same way the Winchester Super-Short WSSM centerfire cartridges have been a natural evolution of the WSM line. There's already as much excitement over the Mach 2 as there was over the HMR; we expect it to be a tremendous success."
A Hands-On Look
In late January, Hornady invited Shooting Times to visit the Hornady plant for an advance look at the .17M2. Editorial Director Jim Bequette, writer Wayne van Zwoll, and I had the opportunity to shoot the new load with a variety of prototype guns. It was an illuminating experience. Under the guidance of engineers Emary and Mittelstaedt, along with Hornady marketing executives Wayne Holt and Steve Johnson, we received a full briefing on the history and development of the load and fired the .17M2 in prototype rifles and handguns from Browning, Marlin, Ruger, and Thompson/Center. We also were able to fire the tiny round into ballistic gelatin to assess its penetration and expansion characteristics.
The weight of the recovered, deepest penetrating lead core and heel jacket was 9.50 grains, a retention of 56 percent of its original weight.
The first thing I noted is that the .17-caliber V-Max bullet is phenomenally accurate in the .17M2 loading. The first five-shot group I fired through a T/C G2 Contender rifle at 25 yards punched a single hole. Van Zwoll's best five-round groups were 0.98 inch for the T/C Contender rifle, 1.17 inches for a T/C Classic semiautomatic rifle, and 1.06 inches for a Marlin Model 795. That's exceptional 100-yard accuracy for any rimfire rifle, particularly considering that these were rough, function-proving engineer's prototypes and not tuned for final-production performance.
The terminal impact performance of the little 17-grain V-Max bullet also exceeded my expectations. Fired into 10-percent gelatin at 15 yards, the bullet expanded explosively, with large jacket fragments cutting wicked channels to the side of the primary wound channel line and the main core and jacket heel penetrating bonded together to 8.5 inches. The total weight of the recovered fragments came to 12.92 grains, with the weight of the recovered, deepest penetrating lead core and heel jacket at 9.50/9.49 grains. A fragile bullet at high velocity that still retains 56 percent of its weight at its farthest penetration is a good bullet by any standard. And with that level of observed penetration and a retained velocity of 1530 fps at 100 yards from a rifle, it will be excellent medicine on any small varmint well beyond normal .22 LR rimfire range.
There's never before been a product introduction like this in the history of the shooting sports, and I agree with all those cooperating industry leaders who believe the .17M2 will be one of the most instantly popular firearms and ammunition inventions of all time--even more so perhaps than the .17 HMR. And that's saying a lot. After all, it has nearly the same level of performance as the .17 HMR, and at a guesstimated street-level, real-world retail price of about $5.50 to $6 per box (of 50), it will cost a lot less. Hornady says it expects to begin quantity shipments of .17M2 ammunition in September. The other ammunition makers will follow quickly; all are projecting quantity shipments before the end of this year. The gunmakers will doubtless have rifles and handguns ready and waiting, as they did for the .17 HMR. If this cartridge interests you (and how could it not?), I'd say you should all be emailing, calling, and writing to your favorite
.22 LR firearms maker and telling them which of your favorite .22 rimfire rifle and handgun models you want to see chambered for the new .17 Mach 2!
According to Dick, there has never before been a product introduction like the .17M2 in the history of the shooting sports.
Steve Hornady deserves immense credit and thanks for the way he has handled and guided the .17M2 product development and introduction. Yes, he'll make a lot of money from it.
But for any ammunition manufacturer to enthusiastically share an exclusively patent-protected and trademarked invention with the entire industry, including his direct competitors, from the starting line is totally unprecedented.
I asked him to share his thinking: He said, "The concept for the Mach 2 was really there at the same time as the HMR, which was kind of an experiment. We didn't really know how successful it would be, but its extra performance compared to the .22 WMR has clearly justified its extra price. The Mach 2 is also a lot more cartridge than a .22 LR. As for reaching out to other manufacturers, we realized that the installed base of .22 LR guns is far more vast than it is for the .22 WMR, and look what happened there. So we wanted to give them a heads-up:--'Hey guys, here's what's coming, you can be ready if you want.'
"We worked closely with ATK on the HMR, and we also wanted Eley to know about the Mach 2 so they could make a choice about pursuing any independent development--other ideas about a little .17 have been around for a long time. Everybody agreed it would be very difficult for two different cartridges of this type both to survive, so everybody sort of naturally coalesced around the Mach 2, built on the proven success of the HMR.
"One thing to realize about the price of the Mach 2 is that you'd actually have to pay more to get a box of ultramatch-grade .22 LR ammo to get the same level of accuracy to 50 yards that the Mach 2 gives you all the way out to 100 yards. So in performance terms, the Mach 2 is cheaper than the .22 LR. Together, the .17 HMR and the Mach 2 have truly doubled the number of high-performance options available to rimfire shooters. I feel kinda good about that."
So do we. Bravo, Steve.Untitled Document

To ensure a good fit and top performance, the shock absorber mounting kit is created to be compatible with a select group of vehicle makes and models. To endure the pressures and strains of the vehicle's suspension system, the kit is often composed of high-quality materials like steel or aluminum.
The parts of the shock absorber mounting kit are typically made to fit variously sized and shaped shock absorber or strut assemblies. Additionally, the kit could include several bushings or inserts to fit various shock or strut types.
Additional parts like brackets and spacers may also be included in some shock absorber mounting kits. To ensure optimum alignment and handling of the vehicle, these parts are utilized to change the height and position of the shock absorber or strut assembly.

We report on the change of structural and electronic properties while depositing Hf atoms onto the graphene epitaxially grown on Ir(111) substrate. We find that the Hf atoms intercalate between the graphene and its iridium host. This intercalation induces a new interface superstructure, as confirmed by scanning tunneling microscopy and low energy electron diffraction. Raman spectra reveal that the Hf-intercalated graphene shows the prominent features of intrinsic graphene. Our study suggests that the Hf intercalation acts as a buffer layer between the graphene and the Ir(111) substrate, restoring the graphene's intrinsic electronic properties.

The solution lies in the quality of the assessment, and the quality of the questions being asked on behalf of the asset manager, or owner. In other words, from undertaking and reviewing many energy audits over the years, we believe that asking deeper and better questions is yielding far more productive results for building owners than the traditional energy audit alone. It is also important to understand that sustainability auditing is not a proxy for energy auditing. Sustainability auditing explicitly brings into question the accuracy of all data and its analyses upon which retrofit or refurbishment recommendations are based.
At present, there are three levels of energy audits (Levels 1, 2 and 3), and these vary significantly in accuracy (from +/- 40 per cent in Level 1 to +/- 10 per cent in Level 3), and, accordingly, in how much they cost a client to commission (ranging anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000). While it is common to find that all three different levels of audit types to the same building can be similar, in that they may well produce the same final ‘kilowatthour or megajoule figure’ for annual consumption, they can differ greatly in terms of how much energy was being used, by what, and when – the really useful stuff for project managers and building owners. Very rarely do we see anyone ask why energy was being consumed ‘by the building’. This is where we believe the accurate auditing of energy requires looking beyond energy.
A good example from a project can be used to show what we mean here, and there are many others besides this one. A multi-residential apartment building had previously had two energy audits undertaken, with the main recommendation being to replace the building’s gas domestic hot water system with a gas microturbine. This was because the building’s annual energy use for hot water was almost 300 megawatt-hours (just over one million megajoules) – equivalent to 40 per cent of the total annual energy consumption of the building. We asked why this much hot water was being used in this building.
Surprisingly, in neither audit was the question addressed. Both audits had simply understood there to be a large requirement for hot water, and proposed a technological solution to delivering that large requirement in a ‘more efficient’ way.
Our conversations with 22 residents from 15 different units revealed the same responses several times in this building – thermal comfort was by far the biggest complaint by the occupants. We returned to the previous audit to look at the heating system (which was electric) to find that there were no problems identified in the report. In fact, it suggested that heating accounted for just 2.3 per cent of the total annual energy consumption – and therefore any upgrades to deal with space heating demand would provide no payback.
Further investigation was warranted, so with the collaborative effort of the very engaged building owner, we measured (not assumed) what people were using electricity and gas for, how much they were using, and why. The following is what we found:
- The heating system actually accounted for eight per cent of the total annual energy consumption, and not 2.3 per cent as had been estimated.
- Sixty per cent of residents had brought their own plug-in heaters to replace the inadequate existing heating system, taking the real heating load account to 12 per cent of the total annual energy consumption – yet people were still thermally uncomfortable.
- General plug loads accounted for 30 per cent of all electricity consumed – with south-facing apartments consuming up to double that of the apartments facing north.
- Half of all the mains water consumption in the building was being heated by the gas hot water system. The configuration of the hot water system accounts for some unnecessary gas consumption, as we found that around one-quarter of gas used in the system was reheating a portion of previously heated hot water that was being recirculated, but not used.
- Internal air temperatures in rooms without self-bought plug-in heaters tended to closely track external conditions; meaning that the building fabric was doing little to buffer external conditions.
- We discovered excessive condensation and mould in southfacing ground floor bedrooms. This was a result of: a. low internal air temperatures (due to a thermally poor building fabric and inadequate heating) b. poor natural ventilation (due to the perceived security risk of opening ground-floor windows) c. high relative humidity levels (due to low air temperatures, inadequate ventilation and a lack of clothes-drying space).
- The air permeability of the apartments was approximately 24 air changes per hour at 50 Pascals of pressure, explaining, in part, why the apartments feel draughty and track external conditions. The test also uncovered a non-BCAcompliant smoke shaft.
- In overcast conditions, natural light levels at occupants’ working planes (for example, study desks) reached 500 lux in the northfacing apartments and only 80 lux in south-facing apartments .
- Across 30 occupants over the month of October, the average shower time was 16 minutes, with the longest recorded time being 41 minutes. People were doing several quite unexpected, yet understandable in context, things to keep warm; taking long, hot showers was one of them.
None of the data mentioned here were uncovered in any of the previous audits, and naturally there were no recommendations to improve any of the issues. Rather than providing a list of technical recommendations to make one problem ‘less bad’, the key to this project was not technological, but rested on the quality of the investigation, and the right combination of technical building knowledge, lateral thinking, and enthusiastic investigation. This resulted in a more accurate suite of retrofit works, such as insulating the walls, installing draught-stripping and removing the ill-placed solar shading on the south side of the building, and then assessing the inadequate heating.

Sure, I thought you said you built the tower though. On the upper half of the motherboard usually to the left of your RAM, sits your CPU fan/heatsink. You need to remove it, clean off your CPU and the heatsink surface (I believe Isopropyl alcohol is recommended here), reapply a dab of thermal paste to your CPU, and reset the heatsink onto your processor and reapply the fan
Ah; I did build it. For some reason, when you said "reset" CPU cooler, it sounded to me like you wanted me to reset software or settings rather than physically "re-setting" it onto the CPU itself.
Thanks, I appreciate your answer, as well as Timop's. I'm going to go ahead and order some new thermal paste today.

When the Texas summer starts cooking, my favorite form of relief is to dive into the largest body of water I can find, which is often the Gulf of Mexico. This is where Port A comes in—with its near-endless beaches, historic appeal, and laid-back attitude. Port Aransas is one of my favorite places to hit the Texas coast, and with its ongoing recovery from Hurricane Harvey, it’s got more Texas grit and personality than ever.
Texas Surf Camps
Anyone can splash in the waves, but can you surf on top of them? If not, the folks at this year-round surfing school will be happy to get you up and hangin’ 10 in no time with private or group lessons. While Texas surfing often gets a bad rap, these beaches are the perfect place to learn—with shallow water, reasonable waves, and no rocks to grind against your face.
230 N. on the Beach
Irie’s Island Food
If you’re looking for seafood beyond the deep-fried platter, this place blends coastal cooking with Mexican and Asian cuisines to create some of the most inventive plates on the island. Don’t miss the panko mahi fish taco on a pillowy homemade tortilla or the Asian-inspired beef bowl, best covered in their spicy “dragon sauce.”
503 N. Alister St.
San José Island
Let me share an islander secret. Instead of hitting up a typical beach-going souvenir shop (and there’s plenty of those), go hunting for your own souvenir on a private island. “Saint Jo” is accessible via a short ferry trip, and if you start out early, you’ll hit the beach before the rest of the tourists and are sure to find some amazing shells that washed up overnight. Keep your eye out for a lightning whelk—the state shell of Texas.
The Tarpon Inn & Roosevelt’s
Since 1886, the porch at this inn has been the place to sit, take in the ocean breeze, and share Texas-size fishing stories. In the lobby you’ll find walls covered with tarpon scales that have been caught by hotel guests ever since it opened, most notably the scale signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937 when he visited and caught his own Texas tarpon. When you get hungry, don’t miss the upscale seafood at Roosevelt’s in the adjoining courtyard.
Farley Boat Works
Since 1915, the folks at this shop have been handcrafting incredible boats, some specifically designed for catching tarpon. Visitors can take a class on boat building and learn the ways of the masters. Some spend months at the shop creating their own seafaring vessel. Personally, I wouldn’t trust anything I built on the open ocean, but that’s just me. So if boat buildin’ doesn’t, well, float your boat, stop by the Port Aransas Museum, which runs the shop, and dive into more history.

A rights-based approach to development is a conceptual framework for the process of human development that is normatively based on international human rights standards and operationally directed to promoting and protecting human rights. Essentially, a rights-based approach integrates the norms, standards and principles of the international human rights system into the plans, policies and processes of development (The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights).

Helping the planet may seem like a Herculean effort, but it’s not beyond our reach.
And if support for Earth Day (April 22) is a measure of commitment to the task at hand, then the momentum seems to be strong.
EARTHDAY.ORG claims its mission is to diversify, educate and activate the environmental movement worldwide.
It claims to be the world’s largest recruiter for the environmental movement, working with more than 150,000 partners in nearly 192 countries to build environmental democracy.
This year, Earth Day’s Tom Cosgrove collaborated with Mart Drake-Knight, co-founder of UK-based company Teemill, to share the top five practical ways to make a difference not just on the day, but throughout the day. ‘year.
Here’s how to support this year’s theme “Investing in our planet”:
1 Calculate your plastic pollution
We may have become more mindful of our use of plastic and are making sure to reduce, reuse and recycle where possible, but do you know where you really stand when it comes to your use of plastic?
In line with investing in our planet, the second thing to consider is investing in trees. It can be hard to feel like we’re making a change around the world, but thanks to The Canopy Project, Earth Day has planted tens of millions of trees through donations.
You can see where the trees are planted on its reforestation map (https://www.earthday.org/campaign/the-canopy-project/) and find out how you can donate. Funds raised through donations can help reforest areas in need of rehabilitation to strengthen and support local communities as well as our planet.
It’s time to think about what you put in your wardrobe.
This year, Earth Day organizers have teamed up with British company Teemill to create a range of sustainable, circular t-shirts, the proceeds of which support the movement.
“Most fashion products are made on a mass production conveyor belt for mass consumption which results in massive amounts of waste,” said Mart Drake-Knight, co-founder of Teemill.
“If pollution is not quantified, there are no consequences, and therefore consumers today have only one choice: linear consumption and waste. For real change, we must change this model and operate with a circular process.
“In a circular process, products are designed from the start to come back and be remade. This means that the materials go back to the manufacturer and the new product is remade from the old product. It’s different from recycling or upcycling, where the material is turned into something different before being thrown away.
“Forty percent of all production in the fashion industry is never even used because it is produced speculatively. The solution is simple: we have to produce what people need, when they need it. Changing the design to mass production scale eliminates massive amounts of waste.
4 Check your ‘foodprint’
Choose your food wisely. These are calculators ready again because by using a handy “foodprint” calculator (https://www.earthday.org/foodprints-calculators/) you can find out how to invest in more sustainable food options, whether using more organic ingredients or consider plant-based alternatives.
Food production is responsible for a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions, with consumption of meat and dairy products in the West mainly fueling global warming, so it has never been more timely to think about what is is in your fridge.
5 Become a citizen scientist
Looking for ways to use your free time to make a change? To advance environmental research, you can become a citizen scientist and report on environmental concerns such as plastics, air quality, insects, climate, food safety and water quality in your region to help promote better environmental policies as part of the Global Earth Challenge.
For example, to better understand plastic pollution, you can help identify the sources of pollution near you and the areas most affected by it.
