Along with their sweeping ocean view have come sweeping changes in the lives of Bill Warf, his wife, Christa McKimmy, and their 6-year-old-daughter, Rachel.
This past October, they moved from a comfortable home in East Sacramento to a cabin without electricity or running water near Ferndale in Humboldt County. Their three-room cabin, on 80 acres that they purchased in 2003, perches on a 1,300-foot-high ridge. Through their large windows, they can gaze at the Pacific Ocean, the mouth of the Eel River and Humboldt Bay.
But life often gets in the way of idyllic ocean gazing. Just getting to their cabin is a chore: Driving three miles from Ferndale on a steep, twisting stretch of road known locally as The Wildcat, they must turn onto a dirt road and travel a quarter-mile, then hike the last 150 yards to their house by foot along an often-muddy trail. Once they’re home, the work doesn’t stop: They have to generate their own heat and power and supply their own water. How do they do it? They warm the cabin and cook their meals with wood, finding an abundant supply on their land. Gathering wood is really a lot of work, says Warf, 50. But hey, I’m in better shape now than when I was going to Alhambra Athletic Club.
Water comes from a spring that Warf dug himself. Around Thanksgiving, an old septic tank on the property failed; they now use what Warf delicately describes as alternative waste-handling approaches that include composting. This simple system works great for us, he says, and it feels good not to waste the water used to flush.
They get hot water from a small gas water heater powered by propane gas. To refill the propane tank, Warf drives to Fortuna, about 20 minutes away. The family also generates its own electricity, using a system of spinning wind turbines and rooftop panels that absorb sunlight and convert it to electricity that then is stored in batteries.
McKimmy family lives off the grid, going without connections to public utilities such as electricity, water and sewage. Unlike the vast majority of power-hungry Americans, they make conscious choices all day, every day, about their energy consumption. They can’t afford to leave lights heedlessly burning when no one’s in the room, or to throw a half-load of laundry in the washing machine. To paraphrase Kermit the Frog, it’s not easy being green.
Why would anyone give up the conveniences of modern life to become a power pioneer? We wanted to slow things down and simplify, explains Warf, who left a job as a project manager for the Sacramento Municipal Utility District to start his own consulting business helping others live off the grid. (McKimmy, a 42-year-old attorney, hopes to open a yoga studio.) Our vision of an ideal lifestyle also involves realizing very low levels of energy and resource consumption. The downside? Everything is more work, explains Warf, and there is less time available to earn money. But they don’t seem to mind. We kind of enjoy going into â€˜energy conservation mode’ to avoid wasting, he says.
A Growing Movement
Warf and McKimmy are on the leading edge of a going-green movement that is picking up steam here in the Sacramento region and throughout California. Alarmed by concerns over global warming and deteriorating air quality, and horrified by $60-a-barrel gasoline, more and more people are striving to cut their dependence on fossil fuels and leave a smaller footprint on the environment.
A very small number, like Warf and McKimmy, go off the grid&emdash;cutting their ties entirely to municipal utilities in order to live largely by their own wits and grit. A much larger number of people take a variety of smaller, less extreme steps to live a greener lifestyle.
Take, for instance, Michael Proulx and his wife, Susan Borowczyk. The couple lives with their two children in a two-story, 2,800-square-foot, passive-solar house near Shingle Springs in El Dorado County. Their rooftop sports three sets of solar panels that feed power into three inverters, which convert the DC power generated by the solar panels into AC power usable by most household appliances. A swimming pool draws its heat from tubes that loop through a concrete deck. Their home is a showcase for responsible energy use: The family’s PG&E bills are virtually zero. (They pay just a small hookup fee to be connected to the grid.) Once you start solar, you get addicted, says Borowczyk.
In addition to retrofitting the 1980 house with a passive-solar system, the couple takes other measures, both big and small, to reduce their energy consumption and live an environmentally responsible life. They have replaced energy-sucking incandescent light bulbs with fluorescents, and their water heater sports a timer. We don’t have garbage service, says Borowczyk. We recycle 95 percent of our trash.
And they don’t just live the green life; they work it, too. As owners of A 2 Z Solar, they install solar systems for other homeowners. They’re not in it strictly for the money; as Proulx says, I don’t know any rich solar installers. Adds Borowczyk, We are rich timewise with the kids, not moneywise.
On a recent chilly day, sun shines into their children’s playroom, which is filled with bright furniture and the babble of toddlers’ voices. On one side of the warm room, opposite huge windows, five 12-foot-tall black metal cylinders hold water that stabilizes the room temperature. Floor tiles absorb warmth. The cozy room was a big selling point when the family moved here from smaller quarters in Carmichael.
Soon after they moved into the house, Borowczyk was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. During her recuperation, she spent much of her time in the playroom. I did my recovery here, because it is so healing, she says. Committed to raising their children to be environmentally responsible, she also found their green lifestyle energized her. It helped to know we’re not destroying nature.
Government and Business Warm to the Color Green
If asked, most Americans would probably agree with Borowczyk&emdash;that they’d rather not destroy nature. But until recently, it was nearly impossible to have it both ways: to live an energy-efficient, environmentally responsible lifestyle without having to really work at it.
Now, however, in the Sacramento region it is becoming easier to have your cake and eat it, too, thanks to help from utility companies and state and local governments.
In 2005, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger pushed for passage of a 10-year, $2.9 billion solar initiative to encourage homeowners, businesses, farmers and governments to install solar systems. Approved by the California Public Utilities Commission in January 2006, it is the largest solar investment of its kind in the country.
Realizing the cost efficiency of incorporating energy-saving technologies in homes before they’re built, some electrical utilities and local governments are working hand in hand with developers to encourage the construction of energy-efficient homes.
SMUD and Roseville Electric have been on the solar bandwagon for a while. SMUD is nationally regarded as a leader in green energy, with large-scale solar arrays at Rancho Seco, windmills at Montezuma Hills in Solano County, extensive support for energy-efficient subdivisions and a generous solar rebate program.
In Yolo County, the communities of Woodland and Winters are thinking green. Woodland requires that at least 5 percent of the 4,000 homes in the new Spring Lake Community development be solar; additionally, all the homes must meet stringent energy-conservation standards.
In Winters, City Manager John Donlevy says, All new subdivisions must be at least 50 percent solar, and 100 percent plumbed for solar. For Donlevy, striving toward energy efficiency is a no-brainer. The costs of installing energy-efficient features are negligible compared to the overall costs of building a home, he says. The average person could find himself saving thousands of dollars in utility bills. Typically, he says, new solar homes give a return on the extra investment in seven to 12 years.
Making Energy, Not Just Consuming It
Premier Gardens in Sacramento is a long way from the Warf-McKimmy cabin in Humboldt County. In 2004, Kurt and Margy Gonzales moved with their three children into a 2,200-square-foot new house in this cutting-edge, 95-home subdivision. There, all the houses are Zero Energy Homes, designed to produce as much energy as they use.
At first, the Gonzaleses were skeptical about the ZEH concept. But the price of our home, per square foot, was the same as the nonsolar homes built at the same time in neighboring subdivisions, says Margy. John Ralston, vice president of sales and marketing for Premier Homes, points out that the cost of the energy and solar upgrades was built into the Premier Gardens development; homeowners in other Premier Homes developments typically pay an extra $18,000 for the option.
From the outside, the only clue that the Gonzales home differs from a traditional house is the roof: What look like black rectangular tiles actually are solar panels.
The rest of the home’s technology is less obvious. Spectrally selective windows block the sun’s heat in summer and retain indoor warmth in winter. Fluorescent light bulbs replace energy-guzzling incandescents. In the garage, a gas-powered, suitcase-sized tankless water heater provides on-demand hot water. We never run out, brags Gonzales.
The rooftop solar panels send energy to an inverter, also in the garage. If the panels generate more power than the Gonzaleses use, the power feeds back into the SMUD power grid. By state law, the Gonzales family benefits from net metering, receiving a credit on their utility bill for the extra energy they produce. Factoring in excess solar generation, our spring and fall usage is about 50 to 60 percent lower than what we had in our old home, says Gonzales. During summer and winter months, our usage is about 70 to 80 percent lower. Their gas usage is about the same.
Still, Gonzales doesn’t consider herself a greenie. Rather, she’s just a happy consumer. I think just about everyone we know has heard about our electricity bills&emdash;or lack thereof, she says, and their friends are keeping a lookout for these homes as they go on the market.
In addition to Premier Gardens, Ralston says, the company is offering solar as an option on the 65 houses it’s building in Live Oak, north of Yuba City. He figures about 25 percent of the subdivision will be solar. The company also plans to build ZEH developments in Lincoln and Wheatland. We hope to do those entire communities as ZEH homes, he says.
In North Natomas, Treasure Homes, which is building a new infill subdivision of 32 single-family homes near Garden Highway, takes the ZEH concept even further. Sales broker Jake Allen walks around a plushly appointed model home. This is a house with a brain, he says. The â€˜smart vent’ brings cool air in when the temperature outside is 6 degrees lower than it is inside. High-tech roof barriers provide better insulation so that heat stays in during winter, out during summer. Solar panels, tankless water heaters and inverters are all part of the package. Of the new technology, says Jim Bayliss, president of Treasure Homes, It just works. It does its job. You go about your normal life.
Sacramento’s ZEH homes have gotten plenty of national and local media attention. ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS News, PBS, Newsweek and local TV stations all have given coverage to the innovative neighborhoods.
In Humboldt County, people like Warf haven’t attracted much notice from the media as of yet. Still, he wouldn’t mind if others decide to follow his family’s example. I am not asking anyone else to do this, Warf says. But, he adds, I do think that everyone should be aware of their own consumption and should judge for themselves if their consumption is appropriate to the circumstances.
Before buying a Zero Energy Home, Gonzales hadn’t given much thought to how much energy she consumed. I have never been involved in environmental issues, she says. Yet now, she says, I feel very blessed to be in our home. At the time of purchase, I did not believe how well the energy-saving features of our home would work. But as they say, â€˜Seeing is believing,’ and now I’m a believer!


The court did not address the Second Amendment implications of the law because the plaintiffs’ waived this claim at trial.
In a 4–3 decision, the Supreme Court of Illinois upheld the state’s ban on “assault weapons” and “large capacity magazines.” The plaintiffs argued the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA) violated the Illinois constitution by denying them equal protection of the law and because of procedural deficiencies in PICA’s enactment.
“I am pleased that the Illinois Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of the Protect Illinois Communities Act,” stated Illinois Governor JB Pritzker in a press release. “This is a commonsense gun reform law to keep mass-killing machines off of our streets and out of our schools, malls, parks, and places of worship.”
Plaintiffs made two equal protection claims challenging exemptions from PICA
The plaintiffs’ equal protection claims stem from two types of exemptions in PICA: the law enforcement exemption and the “grandfather” exemption for current owners. Plaintiffs qualified for neither exemption, which they argued denied them the equal protection of the law.
The law enforcement exemption allowed current law enforcement officers, who must undergo firearms training, to possess assault weapons, including when off duty. The exemption also applied to retired law enforcement officers who had served for at least ten years and “maintain[ed], at their expense, training on the standards for qualification in firearms for active law enforcement officers.”
The plaintiffs argued PICA’s law enforcement exemption denied them equal protection because no meaningful distinction between the plaintiffs and law enforcement, all of whom possessed an Illinois firearm owners identification (FOID) card.
The court rejected this argument because obtaining a FOID card required no firearms training, and the plaintiffs had no law enforcement duties:
A FOID card holder does not have a duty to maintain public order; to make arrests for offenses; or to prevent, detect, investigate, prosecute, or incarcerate a person for a violation of law. By contrast, each of the seven categories of trained professionals must undergo specialized firearms training pertaining to their employment to maintain their exempt status under the Act. This training supports the presumption that they exercise greater responsibility in the safe handling and storage of firearms.
PICA’s grandfather exemption allowed individuals possessing an assault weapon or large capacity magazine before PICA’s enactment to continue possession lawfully. The exemption also provided that “[t]hose who inherit a lawfully owned assault weapon may retain it.”
The plaintiffs argued that because they wished to possess assault weapons and large capacity magazines after PICA’s enactment, an exemption for individuals in possession before PICA’s enactment constituted preferential treatment for grandfathered individuals.
The court rejected this equal protection argument because the plaintiffs and grandfathered individuals were not “similarly situated.” Grandfathered individuals had a “reliance interest” in keeping their assault weapons and large capacity magazine, an interest plaintiffs lacked.
Plaintiffs waived their Second Amendment and procedural deficiency claims
The court declined to address PICA’s Second Amendment implications because the “plaintiffs expressly waived in the circuit court any independent claim that the restrictions impermissibly infringe the second amendment.” Because of the waiver, the court “express[ed] no opinion on the potential viability of plaintiffs’ waived claim concerning the second amendment.”
Neither of the dissenting opinions challenged this finding or argued the court should have considered PICA’s Second Amendment implications.
The court also declined to address the plaintiffs’ procedural deficiency claim. The plaintiffs argued the legislature enacted PICA in violation of the Illinois constitution, which requires three readings of a bill on three different days.
At the trial court, the plaintiffs prevailed on their equal protection claim but not their procedural deficiency claim. The state appealed its loss on the equal protection claim, but the plaintiffs did not cross-appeal their loss on the procedural deficiency claim.
Because the plaintiffs failed to cross-appeal their loss, the court found it lacked jurisdiction to review the claim on appeal: “plaintiffs’ failure to cross-appeal is a jurisdictional bar to renewing their three-readings claim.”
One justice, in a dissent, criticized the majority’s reasoning, noting, “a reviewing court can uphold the decision of the circuit court on any grounds which are called for by the record.”DONATE

Hero launches premium bike Achiever 150
New Delhi: India’s two-wheeler manufacturer Hero MotoCorp on Monday launched its premium motorcycle Achiever 150 priced at Rs 62,800 for the disc variant and Rs 61,800(ex-showroom Delhi) for the drum variant.
‘As the dominant market leader in both 100cc & 125cc segments in the domestic market, we are now looking at expanding our presence in the premium segment as well and the New Achiever 150 is a move in that direction,’ said Pawan Munjal, Chairman, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Hero MotoCorp.
Currently, the two-wheeler manufacturer dominates the 100cc and 125cc segments—with over 65% and 55% market share, respectively.
Achiever 150 comes with a new BS-IV compliant engine that also features the Hero patented i3S technology. It is powered by a BS-IV compliant 150cc TOD (Torque on Demand) engine. The air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke engine produces a maximum power output of 13.6 PS (10 kW) at the rate of 8,000 rpm and maximum torque of 12.8 Nm at the rate of 5,000 rpm.
The new motorcycle is able to accelerate from 0-60 km per hour in only five seconds.
Besides, the bike features a new analogue digital speedometer with side stand indicator, larger fuel tank and new seat profile and texture.
The company added that it has reached the unparalleled feat of producing 70-million two-wheelers, in the process becoming the only Indian two-wheeler manufacturer to achieve this milestone.
‘The 70-million cumulative production is special because this has been possible due to our sustained leadership performance,’ Munjal said.


Conflicting reports are emerging about Celtic's interest in winger Fabio Sturgeon.
According to Portuguese newspaper Record, Celtic have submitted a bid for Belenenses winger Fabio Sturgeon – despite claims from The Express that the Bhoys aren't interested.
The Bhoys have made just the one January move so far, as Ivorian midfielder Kouassi Eboue has joined the club from Krasnodar, pending a work permit being granted.
Belenenses winger Fabio Sturgeon (R) in action against Benfica
Whilst Celtic are coasting to the title, having dropped just two points so far this season, manager Brendan Rodgers may still be keen on new additions.
Earlier this week, The Express reported that Celtic weren't pursuing a deal for Belenenses winger Fabio Sturgeon – but Portuguese press are adamant that the Bhoys have made a bid.
Newspaper Record report that Celtic have submitted an offer worth just shy of £700,000, and the wide man could head to Glasgow after a long-term pursuit from manager Rodgers.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers
Back in October 2014, The Mirror reported that Rodgers was keen to take Sturgeon to Liverpool, but the conflicting reports about Celtic's interest mean that it's unclear whether a deal will actually go through this month.
A skilful right-sided winger who can also play up front, Sturgeon has hit two goals and one assist this season, and if Rodgers has had a re-think about his interest in the player, it could be a smart move.
With Patrick Roberts scheduled to return to Manchester City at the end of the season, another right-sided winger will be needed in his place, and landing Sturgeon now would give him time to settle in before Roberts leaves, and before the Champions League qualifiers start.
At 22, Sturgeon is already talented but still has real potential, and he fits into Celtic's strategy of signing cheap youngsters with the intention of selling them on for great profit; at just £700,000, Sturgeon is certainly worth a gamble from Rodgers, but it remains to be seen whether Celtic really are interested in signing him.
Would you like to see Celtic sign Sturgeon?

MATTHEW Langridge is set for an Olympic medal.
The oarsman and his crewmates in the British rowing eight will contest the Sunday morning final (8.30 BST), taking on world champions Canada for the gold medal.
They won their heat on Monday – a race delayed 24 hours because of rain in Beijing – in comfort and in a faster time than Canada won theirs.
But the British crew are refusing to get carried away by their prospects.
Northwich Rowing Club product Langridge, 24, said: "I am quite pleased. We had the race under control and we are quietly confident and relaxed."
Dad Steve was lakeside and added: "Matthew never gives much away, but there is a good feeling in the crew. They know they rowed well. They were excellent and I think Matthew was pleased with his own performance.
"They were worried about the American boat who, for them, were an unknown quantity."
Langridge Jnr rowed at two as Britain clocked 5mins 25.89 and were a length up on the US, who won the event in Athens.
How significant were the times will be seen on Sunday, for favourites Canada were nearly two seconds slower.
They may have been under less pressure but it still points to a Canada-GB showdown for the gold – unless the Americans find a sudden surge of form in today’s repecharge. They remain a danger, while other countries do not seem in the same class.
At 500m Britain were half a second down on the US and China, but from about 650m Langridge and co flew into a lead and dominated the race.
While Canada may have under-performed, Britain too seemed to have more in reserve.
Assuming a first three place, former world junior sculling champion Langridge would be the first Mid Cheshire athlete to win an Olympic medal since hurdler Shirley Strong, who won a silver at Los Angeles in 1984.

Corneal transplantation is the oldest, most common, and arguably, the most successful form of organ transplantation. In the United States alone, over 45,000 corneal transplants are performed annually. Less than 10% of first time, uncomplicated keratoplasties will fail. By contrast, the rejection of second corneal allografts or keratoplasties performed on vascularized graft beds rises to over 65%. The leading cause of corneal graft failure - whether it occurs in the low risk keratoconus patient or the high risk host who has rejected a previous corneal transplant - is immune rejection. Understanding the immune mechanisms of corneal graft rejection and developing strategies to prevent alloimmune responses are of paramount importance in preserving vision and preventing blindness in a very large population of patients. These two goals will be pursued by addressing three specific aims.
The first aim will determine the immune mechanisms of corneal graft rejection that do not involve the participation of CD4+ T cells. The roles of interferon-gamma, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and CD95-induced apoptosis will be explored prospectively. The second specific aim will ascertain the immune effector mechanisms that culminate in corneal graft rejection in """"""""high-risk"""""""" hosts. Based on previous studies from our laboratory and others, we predict that the mechanisms invoked to reject corneal allografts in """"""""high-risk"""""""" hosts are fundamentally different from those mediating rejection in normal, first-time hosts. The third specific aim will further characterize the clinical parameters of oral immunization as a strategy for reducing the risk of corneal graft rejection. Oral administration of alloantigenic cells from corneal allograft donors induces the down-regulation of immune responses to donor alloantigens and as a result, enhances allograft survival. This phenomenon is termed """"""""oral tolerance"""""""" and holds promise for reducing the risk of corneal allograft rejection in the """"""""high-risk"""""""" patients. All three of these aims will be addressed in a well-characterized mouse model of penetrating keratoplasty.

Tola Navarro, born in 1984 in Caracas, Venezuela, is the grandson of a sculptor and the son of a Chilean poet. He has a degree in Architecture with a minor in Art History from the Universidad del Desarrollo. In 2016 and 2018 he participated in contemporary art research residencies in Lima and Sao Paulo respectively. Tola has exhibited at Galería Arte Espacio, ArtStgo and Faxxi. In 2019 he is invited to a residency in Contemporary Art in Sao Paulo, and in 2020 after his father passed away, he decides to build a permanent workshop in Batuco, Chile. My grandad once told me "You just have to see, beauty is everywhere." My work comes from a need to search for beauty in everyday stuff. In studying Architecture, some concepts really stayed with me; first the concept that a building must "belong" to a specific site, buildings must be part of and have a relationship with their environment. I search for materials that are common in construction sites. In architecture, light is everything, space is constructed by light, so I try to find the light or shadows that make up spaces.
In his series “Paper & Spray,” Tola wrinkles and folds paper, paints on the folded paper, and then finally irons the paper flat. This unique process allows the canvas — usually a passive foundation for paint — to become an acting agent in the creation of the work. Inspired by the manipulation of paper to create three dimensional forms, Tola’s work captures shapes the history of the paper, like a fossil or a photograph, creating a geometric yet organic record of its past form. The abstract lines and shapes create a variety of visual paths for the eye to follow, so each viewer can make their own way through the composition. Tola’s work stretches the possibilities and potential of a medium to express ideas around color, architecture, and technology. His innovative treatment of simple raw materials transforms them into inspiring new structures, forms, and expansive landscapes. He engages in deep research into his materials, allowing him to create a relationship with the medium and thus be able to bring out its essential characteristics, enhancing its existing qualities and inspiring new creative horizons.
Paper light is an exploration of the spray on the volume, a volumetric embodied on a flat surface. I use origami techniques and volumetric stencils to create patterns of light that gives the paper itself. A work that was three-dimensional, like a sculpture, which falls on the plane. Paper light is the exploration of an objective art, in the sense that it is a visible and understandable object as such. They are a series of works whose creation is especially specific, in that the work can only be created in this way. A work that does not lie, does not try to be anything more than what it is. The wrinkle is that which breaks the order, it is that imperfect and chaotic in a world of order and control, that gives it dynamism and complexity. That is life itself, it is those things that we cannot control that irritate us, but at the same time they are the things that give meaning to our lives. In the same way that the wrinkle is something unique to the paper, our imperfections are what show us our own humanity.

In particular, according to Reclaim the Net, YouTube is now arbitrarily banning hunting and fishing channels or otherwise demonetizing them:
A YouTuber who has a channel dedicated to fishing and has made the money he earns from it his main source of income has been demonetized, with animal cruelty cited as the reason by Google’s video platform.
Gideon Mettam’s “Gido’s Fishing Adventures” channel with some 100K subscribers that’s been on YouTube since 2014 has now been demonetized for a month.
"The case once again highlights YouTube’s volatility in interpreting its own rules and a lack of clarity or interest in explaining decisions to ban or demonetize content," the site noted further.
Mettam, of Albany, Western Australia, has noted that in the first place, he disagrees that his videos all of a sudden now fall under the platform's definition of "animal cruelty," adding that he's not really certain either way because he can't get anyone from YouTube to get back in touch with him and tell him what he needs to do to fix the issue.
Also, he said that the demonetization notice did not cite any specific videos that actually showed 'animal cruelty,' but rather said that "a significant portion" of them were violations.
"YouTube’s lengthy violent or graphic content policy section of the Community Guidelines also deals with animal abuse, distinguishing between videos of animals suffering made maliciously for the purpose to shock and disgust, but note that the platform 'may' make exceptions when it comes to the following activities: hunting, trapping, pest abatement, food preparation, medical treatment, or animal slaughter," Reclaim the Net reported.
And as usual, the guidelines are intentionally vague so that gives the YouTube censors the ability to say, at whim, what is and is not a violation of policy.
"The rules do explicitly say that videos of dog fighting and similar are prohibited, while showing animals fighting in the wild are not, etc; when it comes to hunting, illegal practices like bombing and poison in order to catch prey are mentioned," says Reclaim The Net.
Mettam, who often is shown going to great lengths while also putting himself in danger such as climbing down steep cliffs just to catch fish, does not agree with YouTube's characterization that he's "doing nasty stuff" to animals just to cause others to be shocked, disgusted or outraged.
“I just dispatch fish for feed and do it humanely," he explained -- perfectly normal, given that humans have fished for thousands of years without it ever being described as 'animal cruelty' by anyone other than a fringe leftist.
Other YouTube creators who focus on manly (and womanly) sports of fishing and hunting and the like have also reported having their videos limited, removed or demonetized in recent months. One of them is the creator behind “BeefCake FLAIR,” who has said that he had been impacted with demonetization for nearly five years. To get around it, he has set up another that already has about 250,000 subscribers (the original channel, “FLAIR” has 2.4 million subscribers).
He's now been left without an income and with a child on the way. And though he has launched a second channel, “the end goal is to find another platform.”
"It's clear that YouTube's assault on America's freedoms will only accelerate. Those who enjoy the great outdoors need a place to go where their God-given right to celebrate nature won't be oppressed by evil tech giants. We welcome outdoors sportsmen and women to our free speech platform, Brighteon, and we fully support the Second Amendment and the right of self-defense as well," he said.

% CONVERSION 59 J. J. DIETRICH 3,437,648 PROCESS FOR POLYMERIZING VINYL FLUORIDE IN AQUEOUS SUSPENSION-FREE RADICAL SYSTEM WITH 1 l B -TRICHOROTRIFLUOROETHANE AS AN ACCELERATOR Filed Oct. 5, 1964 REACTION TIME (HOURS) INVENTOR.
JOSEPH J. DIETRICH US. Cl. 26092.1 15 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Preparation of polymers by an aqueous suspension process includes polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated compound in the presence of a free radical catalyst, water and a lower chlorofluoroalkyl hydrocarbon containing at least one fluorine-substituted atom acting as a reaction accelerator.
The present invention relates to a process for the polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated compounds. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved process for the polymerization of vinyl halides. Specifically, the present invention relates to an improved catalyst system for use in the polymerization of vinyl fluoride-containing compounds.
There are several methods for polymerizing ethylenically unsaturated compounds now known and practiced commercially. In general, these methods include emulsion, suspension and bulk polymerization techniques. In each of these polymerization systems the catalyst functions in the polymerization process as a free radical generator. As is known to those skilled in the art, a free radical initiation mechanism involves dissociation of the catalyst into free radicals which can then initiate polymer radials by reaction with the polymeriza'ble monomer to form new free radicals which, in turn, combine with more monomer molecules to form still other free radicals. In this manner, long polymeric chains are propagated. This reaction continues until either the free radical-bearing polymer fragment encounters another free radical or the monomer is exhausted or inhibitors are added to the system causing a cessation of the polymerization reaction.
Exemplary of free radical-type catalysts generally employed in a suspension polymerization system are the water-insoluble organic peroxides, e.g., benzoyl peroxide, diisopropyl-benzene monohydroperoxide, acetyl peroxide, di-tertiary-butyl peroxide, a,a'-azo-bis-isobutylnitrile, pmethane hydroperoxide, lauroyl peroxide, acetyl benzoyl peroxide, succinyl peroxide, peracetic acid, m-bromobenzoyl peroxide, persuccinic acid, urea peroxide, dialkyl peroxy dicarbonate, ascaridole, cyclohexanone peroxide, and the like.
Exemplary of free radical-type catalysts useful in emulsion and bulk polymerization methods include the following water-soluble catalysts: water-soluble salts of inorganic per acids, e.g., ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate, potassium perphosphate, potassium percarbonate; organic peroxides which contain hydrophyllic groupings of sufficient effect to render them water-soluble, e.g., beta, beta'-biscarboxypropionyl peroxide, t-butyl hydrogen peroxide; alkali metal salts of carboxylic azonitriles, e.g., alpha, alpha'-azobis (alpha-methyl-gamma-carboxybutyronitrile), alpha, alpha'-azobis (alpha, gamma, gamma-trimethyl-gamma-carboxybutyronitrile), etc.; and inorganic acid salts of azoamidines, e.g., the dihydro chlorides of 2,2'-diguanyl-2,2'-azopropane, 2,2-diguanyl- 2,2-azobutane, 2,2 bis (N-phenylguanyl) -2,2-azopropane, etc.
While generally the use of the free radical-type catalyst 3,437,548 Patented Apr. 8, 1969 has proved in most instances satisfactory, it has now been found that polymerization in systems susceptible to free radical initiation is effected at a faster rate than heretofore feasible without a reduction in molecular weight by conducting the polymerization reaction in the presence of a halogen-substituted alkyl hydrocarbon, preferably a lower alkyl of about one to four carbon atoms, containing at least one fluorine-substituted atom.
Exemplary of suitable halogen-substituted alkyl hydrocarbons containing at least one fluorine-substituted atom include the following: dichlorofiuoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, trichlorofiuoromethane, tetrachlorodifluoroethane, trichlorotrifluoroethane, monochloropentafluoroethane, and mixtures thereof.
The amount of the halogen-substituted alkyl hydrocarbon employed in the polymerization system may vary Within the range from about 0.01 to 40, preferably about 1 to 25 parts, by weight, per parts of the ethylenically unsaturated compound. The amount of the free radical catalyst employed may vary within the range from about 0.01 to 10, preferably about 0.1 to 5 parts, by weight, per 100 parts of the ethylenically unsaturated compound. The quantity of water employed is generally within the range from about 0.05 to 10, preferably about 1 to 5 times, by volume, of the total quantity of the ethylenically unsaturated compound present in the reaction zone. While specific reference is made herein to an aqueous polymerization system, water does not need to be present to produce satisfactory polymer. Polymer can be produced when the halogen-substituted alkyl hydrocarbon is employed as the sole reaction medium. In such cases the halogen-substituted alkyl hydrocarbon may be present in an amount from about 0.5 to 10, preferably 1 to 5 times, by volume, the total quantity of the ethylenically unsaturated compound present in the reaction zone.
Besides the presence of the unsaturated compound, catalyst, the halogen-substituted alkyl hydrocarbon and water, a surface-active agent may be employed in amounts ranging from 0.01 to 10, preferably about 0.1 to 1, parts, by weight, per 100 parts of the ethylenically unsaturated compound. Illustrative of suitable suspending agents are methyl cellulose, e.g., as disclosed in US. Patent 2,538,051, gelatin, polyvinyl alcohol and the like. Also, chain transfer agents may be used to control the polymers molecular weight. Such chain transfer agents include water-miscible organic solvents which may be present in the system in amounts from about 1 to about 30% by weight of the water employed. Suitable water-miscible organic solvents include the lower aliphatic alcohols of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g., methanol, ethanol and isopropyl alcohol. Other suitable chain transfer agents include ketones, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons as well as halogenated hydrocarbons.
The process of the present invention is applicable to the polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers and comonomers capable of being polymerized by a free radical mechanism. The present process is particularly applicable to polymerizable compounds which contain the CH =C group, especially to vinyl fluoride-containing compounds, i.e., monomers and comonomers, wherein vinyl fluoride is present in substantial amounts, i.e., at least about 25%, preferably about 50% of the total by weight. Examples of ethylenically unsaturated compounds are ethylene, propylene, isobutylene, pentenes and styrene; halogen-substituted monoethylenic hydrocarbons, e.g., vinyl fluoride, vinyl chloride, vinyl bromide, 1,1-dichloroethylene, 1,1-difluoroethylene, difiuorochloroethylene, trifiuorochloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, triiluoropropylene, difluoroiso'butylene; vinyl esters, e.g., vinyl formate, vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl butyrate, vinyl benzoate, vinyl pivalate, vinyl stearate, vinyl salicylate, and vinyl esters of inorganic acids; vinyl ethers, e.g., vinyl ethyl ether, tetrafluoroethyl allyl ether and vinyl dioxolane; vinyl ketones, e.g., methyl vinyl ketone; N-vinyl imides, e.g., N-vinyl succinimide and 4 water. The reaction mixture is continuously agitated with a mechanical stirrer. The concentration of the reactants, expressed as parts by weight, and processing conditions are given in Table I.
Inherent viscosity, 2. measure of molecular weight, is

At the lower part of the concentration of the halogen-substituted alkyl hydrocarbon, polymerization is slow unless the higher temperature range is used. In general, polymerization time is between about 1 hour and 10 hours, preferably between 2 and 5 hours. The polymerization can be carried out using either a batch or continuous technique with controlled agitation of the reaction mixture generally necessary.
Polymers of ethylenically unsaturated compounds, especially the vinyl fluoride-containing resins, have found extensive uses in the lacquer and coating fields because of their combination of desirable properties. For example, coatings and lacquers of polyvinyl fluoride exhibit resistance to atmospheric elements, to chemicals, water and most solvents; they are free of odor, taste and toxicity. They are strong, flexible and tough and they also possess a high finish and good durability.
In order that those skilled in the art may more completely understand the present invention and the preferred methods by which the same may be carried into effect, the following specific examples may be oflered.
Example 1 Into a 2-liter high pressure-stirred autoclave are charged lauroyl peroxide, an aqueous solution containing 4.95%, by weight, Methocel 65-I-IG50 (a methoxylated propoxylated cellulose) and select polymerization aids. The autoclave is then brought under a vacuum at which time water and vinyl fluoride monomer are introduced into the autoclave. The reaction mixture is heated to 65 C. and the pressure is brought up to 5000 p.s.i.g. and maintained at that pressure by the continuous addition of For purposes of comparison, the percent conversion after 3 hours of the vinyl fluoride monomer to the polymer employing the various polymerization systems are set forth in Table II. Also presented in Table II is a As can be readily seen from a comparison of this data, the polyvinyl fluoride prepared by the polymerization system containing 1,1,Z-trichlorotrifluoroethane is produced at a faster rate of conversion than the other systems without a decrease in its molecular weight.
The figure is a graphic representation of the results of Example 1.
Example 2 Into a 2-liter high pressure-stirred autoclave are charged 2 grams of lauroyl peroxide, 20 grams of the Methocel solution and 5 grams of n-allyl morpholine. No halogensubstituted lower alkyl hydrocarbon containing at least one fluorine-substituted atom is present in this system. The autoclave is then brought under a vacuum at which time water containing another 20 grams of the n-allyl morpholine and 450 grams of vinyl fluoride monomer is continuously introduced into the reaction zone as the reaction proceeds. The reaction temperature is 65 C.
and a pressure of 5000 p.s.i.g. is maintained by the continuous introduction of the Water as the reaction proceeds. The mixture is continuously agitated. The reaction is continued for a period of 19 hours after which time conversion of the comonomer to the copolymer is about 15%.
Example 3 Example 2 is repeated except that the amount of n-allyl morpholine utilized is 15 grams, 14 grams of which is dissolved in 350 cc. of 1,1,Z-trichlorotrifluoroethane and continuously added to the autoclave during the run. The reaction is permitted to proceed for 22 hours and a 50% conversion of the comonomer to the vinyl fluoride-nallylmorpholine copolymer is effected.
Example 4 Example 2 is repeated except that 50 grams of Z-methyl pentene-l is copolymerized with the vinyl fluoride. The reaction is allowed to proceed for 17 hours after which time a conversion of approximately is achieved.
Example 5 Example 4 is repeated except that the amount of Z-methyl pentene-l utilized is grams, 14 grams of which is dissolved in 350 cc. of 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane and continuously added to the autoclave during the run. The reaction is allowed to proceed for 17.5 hours and a conversion to the copolymer of between 80 and 90 percent is achieved.

The Story of Adele H.
Adèle Hugo (1830-1915) was the second daughter of the great French poet and novelist Victor Hugo and a poet and composer in her own right. After her older sister Léopoldine drowned in an accident, Adèle believed that she could communicate with her via séances. During Victor Hugo's years of exile following Napoleon III's 1851 seizure of power, Adèle met and fell in love with the British lieutenant-colonel Albert Andrew Pinson on the island of Jersey, part of the Channel Islands. The Hugos later moved to the island of Guernsey, where Adèle apparently met Pinson again, though he refused to return her affections. In 1863, when Adèle was supposed to have traveled to Paris to join her mother, she instead followed Pinson to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Her erratic behavior toward Pinson included faking both a pregnancy and an engagement announcement. Still pursuing Pinson despite his rebuffs, Adèle wound up in Barbados, dressed in rags. Her father had her brought back to France, where she lived in an asylum for the rest of her long life.
The Story of Adèle H. (1975) was Truffaut's most complicated production to date. Not only did he have to receive permission from Victor Hugo's great-grandson Jean Hugo, he had to talk Frances Vernor Guille down from a very high permissions fee to use material from the published diaries. Jean Hugo specified that Victor Hugo must not be shown onscreen, though Truffaut himself also stated in a memo that the presence of Hugo would detract from the viewer's focus on Adèle's story. The script went through numerous drafts; production was delayed even further when Truffaut took a break from all filmmaking activities in 1973 and 1974. Instead of Halifax, the crew shot most of the film in Guernsey--including the front of Hauteville House, Victor Hugo's actual residence-in-exile, for one brief shot. The Barbados sequences were filmed on Gorée, an island off the coast of Senegal. The initial budget was set at five million francs, but in order to secure funding from United Artists Truffaut trimmed some of the more expensive historical scenes and shortened the script in general, tightening the focus on Adèle H.'s behavior.
In real life Adèle Hugo was in her thirties at the time of the events, but Truffaut cast the twenty-year old actress Isabelle Adjani. Fascinated by her stage presence, he convinced her to leave the Comédie Française despite her success in the lead role of Molière's L'École des femmes. Before discovering her, he had considered Jeanne Moreau, Catherine Deneuve and even Stacey Tendeter, one of the leads from Two English Girls (1971). While Adjani was initially concerned that she was too young for the role, she threw herself completely into it, going so far as to scream in the shower at night before shooting in order to deliberately strain her voice. Truffaut relied heavily on close shots of the actress to emphasize her performance, even at the expense of setting; various critics have noted the overall lack of sky in many outdoor shots because of this. In a 1984 interview Adjani recalled, "[Truffaut] had manias he held on to: with my right hand, I was supposed to squeeze my left arm obsessively. He did that in life and he repeated it each time he played a role."
Considering his emotional investment in the project, Truffaut was disappointed in the film's mixed critical reception in France and its tepid box office. Fortunately it fared better abroad, especially in the United States. Vincent Canby considered it the highlight of the 1975 New York Film Festival, noting the "extraordinary grace" of Adjani's performance, the usual mastery of Nestor Almendros' cinematography, and the richly textured soundtrack. In her review for The New Yorker, Pauline Kael wrote: "Adèle H. is a feat of sustained acuteness, a grand-scale comedy about unrequited love, and it's Truffaut's most passionate work."

Creating music is an art that lives in certain people. Our friend Acousticmaddie has this gift. She is storytelling lyricist and songwriter from Sweden that studies songwriting and performs and writes in the Folklore genre. We caught up with Acousticmaddie to get behind the artist’s mind. Enjoy the interview here:
First off, what made you decide to go with the moniker Acousticmaddie?
I am, as my son would describe it, in love with acoustic guitars. Can’t help myself if we are invited somewhere, or at a cafe and there is a guitar, I have to touch it …and then I am stuck and music just takes me to another dimension. Oh and well it blended perfectly with my name.
How would you describe your unique sound?
I base my music and lyrics on feelings and try to draw the listener in with a minimalistic touch. And well, an instrumental should also draw you in and tell you a story. Make you become the moment and part with the music. I am not afraid to upset people, which, I think, is the main point in art. I Live by Eminem’s words; “Music is not suppose to be nice it’s suppose to make you feel.” and if I get a reaction that is good.
What draws and motivates you to create music?
It is something indescribable in the creational phase of music that makes the world disappear. I think any guitarist will agree that every damn time you grab the guitar for “Just a few minutes” suddenly some hours has passed. And when you create you embrace that feeling and flow in an almost sensual passionate moment where nothing else matters.
Who are your biggest musical influences?
Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Jan Johansson.
What is your songwriting process?
First of all I don’t believe in inspirational writing. It’s art but it is also work and to keep it up I write something every day (But I don’t produce everything) I sit with my guitar and ask my family or a friend for a prompt. Or I use a word generator to give me a word to write around or sometimes book where I decide something like “Today it’s chapter 10, 5th line” (or similar) in beforehand and then I have to write something from whatever there is.
Then I grab my guitar (I always write with the guitar) try to get a sense for the feeling. Sometimes it becomes just a melody, sometimes the story just flows out.
Enjoy the dark “My Last Will” by Acousticmaddie
Tell us how your recent album Anxiously Awaiting came to be?
It came to be through a school project where we had to get to know different DAW’s and I got stuck into the experimental phase and instead of adding sound, I took instruments of. As Jan Johansson does in his series of “Jazz på ryska, Jazz på svenska etc” where it’s just a piano and a cello. I thought can I create a story of this?
What is next for Acousticmaddie?
A produced EP about Trafficking, which will be free of charge but we will ask you to remember the organisation Talita instead of paying and next year an acoustic album with 10 Urban legends songs. Some of them written during the 50 songs in 90 days challenge.
What advice would you give to other artists pursuing their passion?
Be humble and work with and always help out others. The intern that makes your coffee might be the next super-star so treat everyone equal and nice.

When you think of berries, the strawberry is most likely the first one to come to mind. Therefore, it might come as a surprise to find out that, botanically speaking, they are not actually a part of the berry world. “True berries are simple fruits stemming from one flower with one ovary and typically have several seeds,” according to Greta Lorge’s article “Bananas Are Berries?” The strawberry comes from a flower that carries more than one ovary, in addition to not having seeds on its body – the little dots on the outside of the strawberries are actually a type of dry fruit (achene), which carries its own seed inside it, according to Lynn Parrucci and Amy Eubanks’s article “The Strawberry: A Multiple Fruit.” This makes the strawberry an aggregate or accessory fruit, but not a berry. This is not the only interesting attribute about this little fruit. The most popular type of strawberries that you see and buy every day at grocery stores are not all-natural grown fruits. They are considered a hybrid species, created by the marriage of two other types of wild strawberries: the Chilean Fragaria chiloensis, and the North American Fragaria Virginiana, according to the book Strawberry – History, Breeding and Physiology.
The first knowledge of this hybrid species was in the early 1700’s, in France, when the only type of strawberry in the country’s existence was the wild Fragaria vesca. This varietal was very small but incredibly sweet and flavorful. The French found in the American strawberry what they didn’t have in their native one: size. The idea of creating a perfect combination of flavor and size gave modern society the strawberries it knows today. As time passed, in order to maintain the look, shelf-life, expectancy and flavor, a new cross-breed was needed to remedy it. Wild strawberries are considered species without any type of cross breeding; they are grown from the soil without any human intervention. These carry a stronger and sweeter taste, much like the very first French species, but they also have a short shelf-life after picked, which makes them more rare.
Wild or not, this fruit will always taste sweeter when picked right off the plant. The natural sugars in strawberries starts to convert into starch as soon as they are picked off of the plant – that is why grocery store strawberries tend to taste tart with a grainy texture, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
Still, strawberries are one of the favorite and most popular fruits of them all. In today’s market, there is strawberry flavored everything: cakes, ice cream, pies, sauces, lipstick, toothpaste, and so on. The United States Department of Agriculture affirms that Americans each consume 4.85 pounds of fresh and frozen strawberries per year. California is responsible for 75 percent of the strawberry crops in the country, according to Ron Wolford and Drusilla Banks’s dedicated study “Strawberries & More” for the University of Illinois Extension. And speaking of favorites, the same study shows that 53 percent of children between 7-9 years old name strawberries as their favorite fruit.
All the love devoted to this fruit is understandable. Aside from its deliciousness, strawberries have numerous health benefits. For starters, they are the second most efficient fruit type for preventing breast cancer, losing only to grapes, as Dr. Michael Greger M.D. mentions in his article “Breast Cancer and Wine.” Strawberries are also loaded with vitamin C, are sodium free, fat free, cholesterol free, saturated fat free and are high in folate, according to the Fruit & Veggies More Matters® Initiative. No matter the type of strawberry, wild or hybrid, this is one of the heathiest and most delicious fruits in the world.

Environmental contamination and assessment of doses from radiation releases in the Southern Urals.
The Southern Urals in Russia was contaminated by radioactive discharges into the Techa River (1949-1956), the Kyshtym accident (1957), and the current releases and discharges from the Mayak Nuclear Materials Production Complex.
In this paper, the consequences of radioactive contamination of the Ural region are analyzed.
The current content of 90Sr in the components of food chains is as follows (Bq kg-1 wet weight) :
potatoes, 0.2-6.7 ;
grain, 0.5-12.6 ;
milk, 0.2-6.3 ;
beef, 0.2-1.7 ;
lake water, 0.12-1.0 ;
river water, 0.2-8.5 ;
fish, 7-480 ;
mushrooms, 400-1,100 ;
and berries, 700-16,000.
The content of 137Cs is as follows :
potatoes, 0.5-3.8 ;
grain, 0.3-2.9 ;
milk, 0.2-4.5 ;
beef, 0.3-2.6 ;
lake and river water, 0.002-0.019 ;
fish, 2-32 ;
mushrooms, 110-1,600 ;
and berries, 150.
A major fraction of the dose to humans comes from the consumption of local food products, including natural ones, which have higher contamination levels than agricultural products.
The average annual dose rates in contaminated areas are (0.5-4) x 10-4 Sv y-1, which is lower by a factor of 102-104 than in the periods of « acute » exposure (1950-1951 and 1957-1958).
Natural organisms received very high doses up to 200-800 Gy resulting from radioactive discharges into the Techa River and the radiation accident in 1957.
In all cases, including the « acute » exposure followed by the chronic irradiation, the doses to biota were by a factor of 10-103 higher than those to humans.

THE man suspected in the weekend bombings in New York and New Jersey is in custody after a dramatic shootout with police.
Ahmad Khan Rahami was apprehended in Linden, New Jersey, after firing at police officers, according to multiple US media sources. He has since been charged with attempted murder.
He is alive but injured, and two officers were injured in the gunfire, Christian Bollwage, Mayor of Elizabeth, New Jersey confirmed. TV footage showed Rahami on a stretcher being loaded into an ambulance. He was sporting a bloodied bandage on his right arm.
The mayor confirmed one officer’s vest was struck, and the other was shot in the hand.
“Mr Rahami is currently under arrest. This occurred on Elizabeth Avenue in the city of Linden,” Mr Bollwage said Monday afternoon.
“One police officer in the city of Linden was shot in the chest and one was shot in the hand. Mr Rahami also sustained shots,” the mayor added.
The 28-year-old Afghan-born American was wanted in connection with twin bomb attacks in New York and New Jersey over the weekend.
Rahami, a naturalised United States citizen of Afghan birth, was identified with the help of a mobile phone left behind with an unexploded pressure cooker found near to the New York bomb blast, according to officials.
He is believed to be the same man seen rolling a duffel bag in black and white surveillance video taken at the site of Saturday night’s bombing in the Chelsea neighbourhood of Manhattan which injured 29 people.
Police also believe Rahami was behind a pipe bomb that exploded in a trash can on the route of a Marine Corps run in New Jersey.
Authorities released a photo of Rahami on Monday. His name was added to key terror watch lists to prevent him from trying to leave the country, CNN reports.
An emergency alert was sent to all New York smartphones on Monday morning, notifying users of the manhunt for Rahami.
US authorities said Rahami was not on their radar before he was linked to bombings. It is not known if he acted alone.
