January means that it’s time for the annual SHOT Show, and that affords hunters and shooters their first look at the year’s brand-new firearms. This year’s class of new hunting rifles offers something for everyone, from rimfires for small game to hybrid hunting/target centerfire rifles that blend the best features of sporting and precision guns. There are also several new cartridge launches this year, including Hornady’s 22 ARC as well as Winchester’s powerful 400 Legend straight-wall round. Not surprisingly, there are several guns on display that are now chambered for these impressive new rounds. That doesn’t mean that your favorite firearm manufacturers have forgotten the classics, though. A handful of new lever guns are on the show floor this year, and there’s even a beautifully styled British bolt gun on display chambered in the classic .350 Rigby round.
Whether you hunt large or small game at home or abroad, you’ll find something on this list that suits your needs. Here’s a closer look at the most exciting new hunting rifles to hit the show floor in Las Vegas this year.
Ruger American Rifle Gen II
Ruger’s American Rifle is the best-selling centerfire hunting gun in America, but it’s over a decade old and was due for a refresh. The new Gen II version of the American Rifle comes with several upgrades including a splatter pattern stock, spiral fluted barrel and a Cerakote finish on the metalwork. One significant upgrade is the new three-position tang safety that allows the rifle to be unloaded with the safety engaged.
In the full safe position, the bolt is locked and won’t flop open when walking through dense brush, which is another benefit of the three-position layout. The Gen II rifles shares the same Marksman adjustable trigger as its predecessor, and like the Gen I version, it comes with a precision cold-hammer-forged barrel. It should come as no surprise then that the American Rifle Generation 2 is extraordinarily accurate, especially for a rifle with an MSRP of under $750. Standard and Ranch versions are available now in a large variety of calibers, and we’re excited to see this family of American-made firearms continue to grow. MSRP: $729; ruger.com.
Smith & Wesson 1854
Named in honor of the year during which company founders Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson patented their first lever gun, the 1854 is a smooth-handling rifle that’s chambered for the versatile .44 Magnum cartridge. Two 1854 models will initially be available: the standard model features a polymer stock with M-LOK attachment points and stainless-steel metalwork. There’s also a Limited Edition version with a more traditional satin walnut stock and black PVD finish on the metal. Both guns come with 19.25-inch barrel and a 9+1 magazine capacity. Both rifles also come with XS ghost ring rear and gold bead front sight, as well as a top rail that simplifies optic mounting. Other key features include enlarged lever loops, flat-face triggers, threaded muzzles and sling studs. At just 36 inches overall, these guns are perfectly suited for hunting from a stand or blind or in deep woods. They’re well-suited for whitetail hunters and they’re an ideal hog hunting rifle, especially when hunting in areas where the 1854’s nimble handling, prodigious knockdown power and relatively high capacity are required. Backcountry hikers, anglers and hunters will also no doubt adopt this lightweight, compact lever gun for defense against large predators. The 1854 allows Smith & Wesson to play in a different segment of the shooting market, and it’s also a fitting tribute to the company’s founders. MSRP: $1,279-$3,499; smith-wesson.com.
Beretta has offered hunting rifles in the past, but the BRX1 straight-pull is unlike anything we’ve seen from the world’s oldest firearms brand. Straight-pull rifles have long been popular in Europe, and they’re starting to gain traction among U.S. hunters. One advantage of the straight-pull design is speed. Unlike having to cycle a bolt up, back, forward and down, guns like the BRX1 allow for a lightning-fast front-back stroke that makes them almost as fast as an autoloader (which is also one reason that they’re so popular on driven hunts where fast follow-ups are critical).
The challenge, though, is to make straight-pull rifles that are strong enough to securely lock the bolt in position to ensure that it doesn’t fly back into the shooter’s face. Beretta accomplished this by designing the BRX1’s bolt with eight locking lugs (16 in magnums) that prevent the bolt from moving under pressure. The BRX1 has an easy-to-access three-position safety that allows you to operate the action with the trigger deactivated. A 0-MOA Picatinny rail makes mounting optics easy, and the crisp single-stage trigger is adjustable from 2.1 to 3.3 pounds. Fast-handling rifles must fit the shooter properly, and the BRX1’s polymer stock is adjustable. The design also allows for fast and simple barrel, bolt and magazine swaps. To truly appreciate this rifle, though, you must handle it and operate the smooth-cycling action. Doing so will probably cost you about $1,600 bucks, but it’s money well spent, and Beretta backs it with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. MSRP: $1,599; beretta.com.
Savage 110 Ultralite Elite
Savage continues to expand into the premium hunting rifle market with release of their 110 Ultralite Elite. Like their other 110 Ultralite rifles, this gun comes with a PROOF Research carbon-fiber-wrapped, threaded steel barrel that is precisely headspaced into the blueprinted 110 action for maximum accuracy. The barreled action is mated with an MDT HNT26 chassis with folding buttstock and carbon fiber forearm. You’ll also find carbon fiber in the pistol grip and the removable bolt knob. This abundance of carbon fiber gives the 110 Ultralite Elite a stylish, modern look but it also cuts mass substantially.
Even in magnum caliber the overall weight of the rifle is at or under 6 pounds, so this was designed with mountain hunters in mind. Other great features include a trimmed-down stainless steel action with Blackout Cerakote finish (which matches nicely with the Gun Metal Grey Cerakote chassis), adjustable stock, a 20-MOA Picatinny rail and OmniPort radial muzzle brake. The combination of precise headspacing, a precision cut-rifled barrel and Savage’s outstanding AccuTrigger (which is user adjustable from 1.5 to 4 pounds) makes this a deadly-accurate big-game rifle. It’s not cheap, but this is a lot of gun for the money. MSRP: $3,299; savagearms.com.
The Winchester name is synonymous with lever-actions, and this year, the company is rolling out an all-new rimfire lever gun called the Ranger. This tube-fed .22 LR comes with a tuned action that is smooth and sleek, allowing you to shoot this rifle quickly. It features a machined billet aluminum receiver with a durable black anodized finish and a round steel barrel with an adjustable rear and hooded front sight. The stock is made from well-figured walnut and the trigger is adjustable for overtravel. At just over $400, it’s an affordable plinker and small-game gun that retains the look and feel of a classic lever-action, and you can expect this one to be a winner for Winchester.
It also breaks down for easy storage and transport, and because the Ranger runs on affordable and widely available .22 LR rimfire ammo, it’s a gun that you’ll enjoy keeping around camp or in your truck. It’s also ideal for introducing new shooters to the sport, and the Range is plenty accurate for small-game hunting. I expect to see several hunters carrying a Winchester Ranger into the squirrel woods next autumn. MSRP: $419; winchesterguns.com.
Bergara B-14 Squared Crest Carbon
If you were building the perfect big-game rifle from scratch, the result might look something like the Bergara B-14 Squared Crest Carbon. This gun features CURE carbon-fiber-wrapped precision barrel that’s just the right length (20- or 22-inches depending on caliber) to reach the cartridge’s full potential and still maintain a manageable overall length with a suppressor in place. Couple this with a carbon-fiber stock with internal spine for added rigidity, and you have a deadly accurate bolt gun that weighs just over 6 pounds.
I’m a fan of the M5 cutout that allows you to swap between AICS-pattern magazines and a traditional floorplate, and the sponge-pattern stock comes with length of pull spacers, a near-vertical pistol grip, dual front sling studs and QD attachment points. The oversized bolt handle is easy to operate quickly, and the Sniper Gray Cerakote finish protects the metalwork from the worst elements. It’s available in six popular calibers from .22-250 Rem. to .300 Win. Mag., all of which are guaranteed to shoot MOA or better. This is a premium hunting rifle that’s suitable for just about any environment or game. MSRP: $2,099; bergarausa.com.
Browning X-Bolt 2
When Browning launched the X-Bolt in 2008 that rifle was an immediate success and has remained a popular choice for hunters for well over a decade. Times have changed, and the new X-Bolt 2 is an evolutionary step forward for Browning’s flagship bolt gun. It’s not a radical departure from the original, but there are significant upgrades including a reconfigured receiver for smooth bolt travel, a redesigned bolt handle, and perhaps most significantly a new DLX multi-lever adjustable trigger. Some of the eight new X-Bolt 2 models offered come with Browning’s upgraded Vari-Tech stocks which come with adjustable length of pull and comb height, interchangeable grip modules and overmolded surfaces.
Vari-Tech stocks feature Browning’s multi-purpose, multi-environment OVIX camouflage pattern, and half of the new models come with carbon fiber barrels. Prices range from $1,469.99 to $3,999.99, but even the “entry” level X-Bolt 2 Speed OVIX MB is a well-appointed rifle that’s just as reliable and accurate as the guns that preceded it. It’s available in 12 calibers from .243 Win. to 300 PRC, including classic chamberings like .30-06 and .270 Win., as well as popular long-range options like 6.8 Western, 28 Nosler and 7mm PRC. The outgoing X-Bolt was a very good rifle, and its successor looks to offer everything you loved about the original in a more versatile, modern package. MSRP: $1,469.99-$3,999.99; browning.com.
Rigby Big Game Lightweight
The Big Game Lightweight is the newest bolt gun offering from Rigby, and this London Best rifle truly is a work of art in walnut and steel. Engineered to mirror to look and feel of “classic pre-war safari expedition rifles,” this gun comes with gorgeous hand-oiled walnut stock, a 24-inch slim-profile barrel with express sights, and a red rubber recoil pad. The rear express sight is regulated at 65 yards and features folding blades for 150 and 250 yards. At the heart of this stunning rifle is a true M98 Magnum Mauser double square bridge action chambered for the iconic .350 Rigby round, which pushes a 225-grain .358-inch bullet at 2650 fps.
The richly blued metalwork features contrasting case coloring and an engraved Rigby logo. If the aesthetics of even this gun aren’t up to your standards you can upgrade the walnut stock, although even the “base” Big Game Lightweight is stunning. Not surprisingly, the Rigby’s price is commiserate with the quality of its construction (it is currently priced at 10,950 British pounds, or just shy of $14,000 US dollars). However, this gun is the Bentley of big-game rifles, and even though most of us cannot afford a Rigby this gun is worth appreciating for its beautiful styling and attention to detail. MSRP: $13,915; johnrigbyandco.com.
Hammerli Force B1
You may not immediately recognize the Hammerli name, but this firearms brand has been producing rifles and pistols for over 150 years, and this year, the company is launching their brand-new Force B1 rimfire rifle. This straight-pull rimfire allows for toolless barrel removal, allowing the owner to swap between .22 LR and .22 WMR barrels seamlessly. The adaptable magwell makes it easy to swap between the two calibers, and this rifle utilizes Ruger rotary magazines which are robust and widely available. The Force B1 is also compatible with Ruger 10/22 trigger groups, allowing you to further customize the rifle. The side-mounted bolt handle is easy to reach and allows for lightning-fast follow-ups, and the top rail makes mounting an optic easy. A threaded 16.1-inch barrel comes standard, and the adjustable stock allows you to customize the Hammerli to fit any shooter. Weight is a manageable 5.8 pounds, so you can carry this rifle all day in the squirrel woods. Not surprisingly, those who’ve shot these rifles report that they are amazingly accurate, and the robust and simple barrel lockup and crisp trigger are two of the primary reasons why these precision rimfires are already winning the attention of hunters and shooters. MSRP: $649; hammerliarms.com.
Uberti 1873 Hunter Rifles
Uberti has taken the century-and-a-half-old Winchester 1873 rifle in a new, more modern direction. I’m not certain who decided to add a forward Picatinny rail on the octagonal section of the barrel just in front of the receiver, but doing so makes great sense. The 1873, also known as the “Gun That Won the West,” is a slick-handling lever-action that has largely been hampered by the inability to mount a modern optic on these rifles. The Uberti Hunter rifles change that, and suddenly you can have a smooth-operating 1873 lever gun in .44 Magnum or .45 Colt that’s more accurate and versatile than any other 1873 in this gun’s 150-year history. Another nice (albeit not as noticeable) upgrade to the 1873’s original design is the Uberti’s soft recoil pad thar replaces the classic metal crescent butt plate. Both the .45 Colt and .44 Magnum versions of the 1873 Hunter come with 20-inch barrels and 10-round tubular magazines, making them ideal for hogs and black bear up close. Whitetail hunters is straight wall-only states can also use these guns, so if you need a practical reason to buy the Uberti I’ve just offered you one. If you’re interested in owning one of these rifles, you’d better get in line quickly, as they’ll probably be backordered once the general hunting and shooting public catches wind of what Uberti has been up to. Price was not yet announced at press time, but expect this gun to cost about $1,500 like Uberti’s other 1873 rifles. MSRP: TBD; uberti-usa.com.
Rock River Arms RRA .17 HMR
The diminutive .17 HMR is ideal for small game, pests and predator control, and Rock River Arms is now offering an autoloading AR-style rifle chambered for this versatile rimfire round. The gas impingement delayed blowback action is designed to reliably operate with .17 HMR loads from 15.5- to 20-grains, and the included RRA NM Ultra Match two-stage trigger helps make accurate shots on small targets easier. These rifles come with RRA A4 billet uppers and RRA forged A2 lowers, and the 18-inch chromoly vanadium precision barrel features a 1:9-inch twist rate. Other key features include Magpul furniture and a RRA free-floated, 15-inch handguard with M-LOK attachment points. These guns also feature RRA’s winter trigger guard, which is oversized to allow smoot operation with gloved hands. The six-position Magpul adjustable stock allows the shooter to fit the rifle to their body or to conditions; cold weather and layers of clothing often require a shorter LOP, which is not an issue with the RRA .17HMR. With lots of rail space up top you can mount any combination of optics on this gun including thermals and NV, but at just 6.75-pounds it remains manageable to carry all day. In addition to being a hyper-accurate small-game hunting gun, the RRA .17 HMR is also a great low-cost long-range plinking rifle that even the most recoil sensitive shooters can enjoy. MSRP: $1,300; rockriverarms.com.
CVA Cascade SR-80
CVA’s Cascade rifles offer excellent accuracy and quality materials at an affordable price, and this year the company is adding a Scout rifle version to the line. Known as the Cascade SR-80, the rifle generally follows Jeff Cooper’s recipe for a Scout gun. It features an 18-inch threaded barrel with a radial muzzle brake for fast follow-up shots and a three-lug bolt that allows for a short 70-degree bolt throw. A Williams Gun Sight rear peep and adjustable front post sights come standard, as does an extended Picatinny rail that’s well-suited for red dots and long eye relief scopes. The result is a rifle that is compact and manageable which makes it perfect for hunting in a blind or tree stand, and it’s the ideal truck rifle. The tan stock features black spiderweb accents and there are dual front sling studs. The included stock spacers allow you to adjust length of pull for a perfect fit, and the detachable box magazine allows for quick reloads. Chambered in either .308 Win. or 350 Legend, the $925 CVA Cascade SR-80 is a versatile big game rifle that’s suitable for a variety of pursuits. Weight is just 7.3-pounds, which means the SR-80 has enough mass to absorb recoil without making it a burden to carry on long hikes. MSRP: $925; cva.com.

Ten of the D.C. region’s best restaurants can be found in Fairfax County, according to a newly unveiled round-up by Washingtonian.
Acknowledging that “some of the year’s coolest spots…debuted in the Virginia suburbs,” Washingtonian ranked Joon at no. 23 on its 2024 list of the “100 Very Best Restaurants” in the region. Opened on June 13, 2023, the Tysons-based Persian restaurant was the only Fairfax County spot to be ranked.
Located in Fairfax Square (8045 Leesburg Pike), Joon is led by chefs Najmieh Batmanglij and Christopher Morgan, who blend traditional Iranian cuisine with contemporary western elements. It also contains the pop-up, The Kitchen Collective, which serves food from other concepts by Joon co-founder Reza Farahani.
Farahani says it’s “an honor” for Joon to be recognized less than a year after its launch in an area that boasts “a vibrant and innovative restaurant scene.”
“Our vision has been to showcase a modern approach to the ancient cuisine of Iran and the Middle East, while using local and seasonal ingredients and innovative techniques to create a one-of-a-kind experience,” Farahani told FFXnow. “Our wine list and craft cocktails have been developed with distinct Persian flavors such as saffron, rose and pomegranate and are an homage to Persia’s contribution to the earliest spirits and wines known in history.”
Washingtonian praised Joon for food “that’s both homey and beautifully presented,” singling out the “warm pita” offered to patrons when they arrive, dips and sour-cherry rice as highlights.
“Whole platters sized for two and up are stunners, whether a whole rotisserie chicken with apples, apricots, and honey or a strapping feast of kebabs,” the magazine’s staff said in a capsule review.
Joon’s inclusion on Washingtonian’s annual list continued a good day for Batmanglij and Morgan, who were also named semifinalists yesterday (Wednesday) for a James Beard award.
Other Fairfax County establishments that made the list, which is unranked after the top 25, include:
- A&J Restaurant in Annandale (4316 Markham Street)
- Aracosia in McLean (1381 Beverly Road)
- Ingle Korean Steakhouse in Tysons (8369 Leesburg Pike, Suite A)
- Kirby Club in Merrifield (2911 District Avenue)
- L’Auberge Chez Francois in Great Falls (332 Springvale Road)
- Mama Chang in Fairfax (3251 Old Lee Highway)
- Marib in Springfield (6981 Hechinger Drive)
- Padaek in Seven Corners (6395 Seven Corners Center)
- Parc De Ville in Merrifield (8296 Glass Alley)
Several restaurants — A&J, Aracosia, L’Auberge Chez Francois, Mama Chang and Marib — also appeared on Washingtonian’s “100 Very Best” list for 2023.
In the case of A&J, the family-owned dim sum eatery has been recognized every year that the list has come out since 2019, though the magazine paused the yearly round-up in 2021 and 2022 in response to the Covid pandemic. A&J originated in Rockville, Maryland, in 1996 before adding the Annandale location in 2000.

The export outlook for Swedish companies worsened successively during 2019, burdened by trade wars, Brexit, geopolitical uncertainty and signs of weakness in the manufacturing industry. Towards the end of the year, however, the outlook began to look slightly more positive. The agreement between the US and China to cool down the conflict over trade, and the fact that Brexit took place in an orderly manner, were positive signs for business. In other words, the new year looks as if it will have something positive to offer even though there are some new clouds gathering on the horizon such as China’s corona virus.
Business Sweden’s Export Manager’s Index, EMI, rose substantially in the first quarter by 5.6 points to 56.3, from 50.7 in the fourth quarter last year. The fact that the EMI is above the 50-mark – which is the dividing line between optimism and pessimism – indicates that the export companies have, on the whole, an optimistic view of export development.
The upswing in the EMI is explained entirely by the marked increase in the EMI forecast, which is the sub-index that monitors forward looking issues. The EMI forecast increased by as much as 11 points in the first quarter, to 62.1 from 51.1 in the fourth quarter last year. This is considerably higher than 50 and much higher than the historical average of 57.1. However, the EMI level that monitors current issues remained virtually unchanged at 50.4 in the first quarter.
Of particular note in this survey is that virtually all forward-looking sub-indices increased substantially and now are above 50. Even sub-indices relating to current issues recovered, with the exception of profitability in export sales which fell by 12.5 points, although still remained high at 55.9. This indicates that the companies continue to have an optimistic view. Despite the fact that the index increased, companies responding to current issues – precisely as in the fourth quarter of last year – expressed a pessimistic view of both export sales as well as export order stocks.
Looking at a three-month period going forward, optimism among the export companies increased across the board. This is particularly reflected in the synchronised upswing in the index for expected export demand, as well as for profitability of export sales.
During the first quarter of the year, the expected export demand increased strongly for all regions compared with the fourth quarter of last year. The index is now substantially higher than the 50-mark for all regions and is in line with, or above the historical average. Optimism has returned for both Western Europe and Central and Eastern Europe. The index for Western Europe increased by 10.7 points to 54.9 in the first quarter of this year, from 44.2 in the fourth quarter last year. Even the index for Central and Eastern Europe increased substantially by 9 points to 57.7 in the first quarter, from 48.7 in the fourth quarter last year. The index for other regions increased by between 10 and slightly less than 14 points. Taken together, we can say that the view of expected export demand is now well synchronised between the regions. The index is now clearly above the 50-mark for all regions which indicates strong optimism in relation to export demand in all regions.
Nonetheless, the uncertainty surrounding the corona virus makes the situation difficult to assess. China’s economy has already been adversely affected. The unexpected extension of the Chinese New Year holiday has affected supply chains and led to shortages of certain input goods, in, among others, the automotive industry. An increase in the spread of the corona virus can have major consequences for the world economy, the Swedish economy and Swedish companies. In such a scenario, we can expect to see the present optimism among export companies take a knock.
The next Export Managers’ Index will be published on May 14, 2020.

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) introduced a family of dual, 200-mA low-dropout linear regulators (LDOs) in a 2 mm x 2 mm SON package for portable, battery-powered equipment. The low-noise LDOs provide high power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) over a wide frequency range of up to 10-MHz, fast 160-µs start-up time and excellent line and load transient response, while consuming a very low total 90-µA ground current with both LDOs enabled.
TI’s new TPS719xx LDOs feature an active shutdown circuit to quickly discharge capacitors at the output voltage. Discharging the capacitors to zero during shutdown helps to manage power-up when sequencing applications. The TPS719xx devices are stable with ultra-small 1-µF ceramic capacitors, and leverage an advanced linear Bi-CMOS process technology to yield a typical dropout voltage of 230-mV at 200-mA output loads. The LDOs also use a precision voltage reference and feedback loop to achieve a three percent overall accuracy over all load, line, process and temperature variations.
The devices come in a 6-pin, 2 mm x 2 mm, SON package, which is targeted at portable applications, such as mobile handsets, digital still cameras and wireless LAN applications that require good thermal dissipation, while maintaining a small footprint.
Key Features of the TPS719xx Family:
- Dual 200-mA LDO regulators
- Available in multiple fixed-output voltage combinations from 0.9 V to 3.6 V, using factory EEPROM programming in steps of 50 mV
- Low total quiescent current: 90 µA with both LDOs enabled
- PSRR: 65 dB at 1 kHz, 45 dB at 1 MHz
- Three percent accuracy over line, load and temperature
- Active output pulldown
- Independent Enable for each LDO
- Low dropout: 230 mV at 200 mA
- Fast start-up time: 160 µS
Pricing and Availability
The TPS719xx family of LDOs is available today in volume from TI and its authorized distributors. Suggested retail pricing in 1,000-piece quantities is $0.75. Evaluation modules of the TPS719xx, design application notes and TI’s new Power Management Selection Guide are available.

Four years after 400 workers at a bottle manufacturing plant in Mexico were fired for trying to form a union, their wives released a documentary about their lives that recounts a bitter-sweet experience of worker struggle, family survival, and community empowerment and their ongoing case through the Kafka-esque bureaucracy of the federal labor authorities.
Just days after workers at the San Luis Potosi bottling plant, owned by Grupo Modelo, overthrew a longtime “protection” union, voted for true democratic union representation, and negotiated a 19 percent salary increase, the leaders and most outspoken supporters of the new union, Sindicato Unico de Trabajadores de la Empresa Industria Vidriera de Potosi (SUTEIVP), were fired and told they would never work again in their town. Thousands of livelihoods were on the line as families and their communities buckled under the stress of unemployment, discrimination, and intimidation.
Today, the 40 workers and their family members who have been able to hold out without accepting severance or other forms of buy-out from the company are optimistic that victory is in sight. Their cases are advancing at a torturously slow pace through the federal labor system, but the International Labor Organization recently called for an immediate legal resolution, and the factory has received a reinstatement order from the Labor Board in favor of one worker.
On January 26, the fourth anniversary of the firings, SUTEIVP launched a video produced by the wives of the men who had been fired. The day began as leaders and activists from Mexico’s largest independent and democratic unions traveled hundreds of miles to join SUTEIVP members in a rally outside the factory and ended in a gala presentation of the video, “The Other Face of the Resistance: Women’s Role in the San Luis Potosi Glass Makers’ Struggle.”
SUTEIVP leaders read a statement of support from United Steelworkers Union President Leo Gerrard. After that came speeches by Mexican unions representing teachers, municipal employees, tire workers, oil industry engineers, electricians, and power station and railway workers. The Solidarity Center’s country program director for Mexico, Lorraine Clewer, encouraged Grupo Modelo to do the right thing and break with protection unionism. Finally, the SUTEIVP leaders addressed the workers behind the heavily guarded perimeter fences of the bottle factory, letting them know that they are not alone in their struggle against workplace corruption and fear.
At the shift change, busloads of workers stopped to watch the rally, which transformed into a caravan of strength and solidarity as participants marched to the city center. Then at 5:30 p.m., the wives of the fired activists welcomed hundreds of guests from San Luis Potosi´s university, feminist, environmental, and other community groups to the premiere of their self-directed video. Supporters acknowledged in discussion afterward that by making visible the firings’ impact on women’s lives, livelihoods, and relationships, and by illustrating the positive transformation that the women and their families had gone through in order to get beyond surviving to fighting for their right to have a public voice in a male-dominated, classist society, the documentary provided a much needed example of female empowerment that should open doors for new alliances and new victories for working families in San Luis Potosi and other sites of conflict in Mexico.
Concepción López Pardo, the unofficial spokesperson for the wives, who admits she had never raised her voice to defend herself in public before her husband was fired, told the audience as she brushed away tears, “My son was hit by a pickup truck recently. As I rode to the hospital in the ambulance with him, I thought ‘why us?’ My husband said that he’d go and get his severance pay in order to pay the bills, but I said no. I’d rather sell our house than our dignity. I won’t accept any crumbs that the factory will throw to us.”
Another wife, Rosa Rodríguez, described a woman who offered to give the men free haircuts. until they had their jobs back and could afford to pay. “There are so many other stories like this that we could tell,” she said.

In 2019, aerospace senior Evan Agarwal teamed up with technology company Project OWL to test out a device that would provide cheap, limited Wi-Fi in disaster zones by launching it into space on a giant weather balloon — and now they want to do it again.
The device, or payload, which they are calling a “DuckLink” is designed to be attached to a weather balloon and launched up to 100,000 feet into the upper atmosphere, reaching temperatures around minus 51 degrees Fahrenheit.
Following the initial launch, the Cal Poly team and Project OWL have wanted to do it again, but were halted with the start of the pandemic.
“By the time we were about ready to say ‘okay we kind of got all the pieces in place,’ you know, eight to 10 months later, COVID[-19] happens,” Project OWL CEO Bryan Knouse said.
Since initially connecting with Agarwal, Project OWL has worked with two teams from computer science capstone courses, this year’s dubbing themselves the “Quackheads” team.
What started as a small team of about three to four Cal Poly students has become a “dedicated group” of 10 to 15, according to Knouse.
One of the big changes the team has made since the last launch, is transitioning from using “off-the-shelf” components largely from China, to making some of the electronics internally.
According to Knouse, the student team this year were able to build custom electronics for the device.
“This is the first custom electronics board we’ve ever had,” Knouse said. “And we’ve been trying to do this for years and this computer engineering group is the first team that actually pulled it off.”
By making the electronics in-house, Knouse said it can all be tailored to do exactly what needs to be done for their project — that is, if they work.
The launch, which is tentatively set to happen May 14 and May 16 depending on weather patterns that week, is acting as a field test for some of these electronics.
“For the Cal Poly team this is like the grand finale of their year-long effort designing this,” Knouse said.
According to computer science senior and self-dubbed Quackhead Kevin Nottberg, who is in charge of “hardware stuff” and designing the board, he believes they were able to accomplish the task due to a global chip shortage.
When they were unable to outsource the parts they needed, the team was forced to make the electronics in-house. The team in the course a year prior was tasked with the same job, but unable to complete it.
“Part of it I think was because the pandemic had shut a ton of stuff down with China, around end of February, March last year. So it totally screwed them over, but it actually helped us,” Nottberg said.
The board, which the team calls the “Quackerboard,” took them approximately five weeks once they started building it and three revisions to get right.
According to Nottberg, the stakes were high if they were not able to get the board to work in time and they would not be able to test their electronics on the payload device.
“Holy shit, this might actually turn out,” Nottberg said when they finished it.
Computer science senior and fellow Quackhead Kevin Dixson has taken charge of the “software aspect” and writing all of the code that makes the board work.
“We’ve yet to make a board that didn’t work, so props to Kevin [Nottberg] for that,” Dixson said.
When it comes to the May launch, Dixson said a perfect launch would be if it all went off without a hitch.
“If we never lose communication, and we know where it is the whole time, and it pops at 100,000 feet — that’s the ideal scenario,” Dixson said.
According to Dixson, the balloon will go into the air for about a two-hour duration, during which time they should be able to communicate with the device. When the balloon pops, the team should get a notification and it should remain in contact while descending. Finally, the team should be able to locate the device and it should be in-tact, if all goes well.
“And also we get cool pictures,” Dixson said.
For Dixson, he said he has learned more doing this project than he has in any class he has ever taken at Cal Poly.
“That’s kind of the best way to learn is just drop in the deep end and see if you swim, and I guess we swam,” Dixson said.
Quackhead and a founding member of the project Agarwal said that what they are working on has the potential to impact a lot of people in a really positive way.
The team, along with Cal Poly and Project Owl, has won a contract with the U.S. Air Force that is currently being approved by the University and provides the team with the funding they need to get the project off the ground — quite literally.
Right now, they are in a phase one contract, but if they can complete this “technology demonstration,” then they will receive a phase two contract and receive “a lot more money,” according to Dixson.
When asked “why balloons?” Agarwal said the balloons offer them an easy and effective way to test the range of their devices.
“If we really want to stress test these things and say, ‘let’s keep going and going and going until we drop out,’ the best way for us to do that is just to go up,” Agarwal said.
According to Nottberg, the payload devices could potentially be utilized as disaster relief networks, where they can build a network out of nowhere and provide connection where there might be hills or other forms of disruption in a provided area.
“So it’s cool and really exciting to be working on something that actually has real positive potential, and that was kind of the same feeling we had last time and it’s grown a lot since then,” Agarwal said.

Rwandan defense minister regrets recent killings
Rwandan Defense Minister Marcel Gatsinzi has described the recent killings of three jailed soldiers as regrettable.
General Gatsinz said here Monday that the incident was unprecedented and the army had launched investigations to establish the exact cause of the killings.
According to Chief of General Staff Gen. James Kabarebe, the deceased were shot by military police personnel as the inmates attempted to demonstrate.
However, the minister did not condemn the killers, and though he said he was still waiting for the findings of the inquiry by the army prosecution department.
"It is regrettable. In the first place, it was illegal for soldiers to demonstrate, leave alone their attempt to disarm the military police; even civilians are not allowed to strike without an authorization," he said.
"The military police personnel had been dispatched to the prison to restore peace after the inmates increasingly threatened to cause havoc," he added.
The deceased soldiers were found of writing letters and passing them under the doors threatening to stage a violent demonstration, the minister revealed.
The military prisoners also complained of harsh conditions inside the prison, a charge General Gatsinzi denied, saying that detained Rwandan soldiers enjoy the best treatment over civilian inmates and other incarcerated soldiers in the region.
He however refused to reveal the identities of the dead, only saying that some had been convicted of serious criminal cases.
"Some were on death row, and I believe it is these few with notorious criminal records that were inciting the rest," he said.

GVK Power and Infrastructure cleared to build Queensland coal terminal
CANBERRA: GVK Power and Infrastructure cleared a major hurdle for a A$10 billion ($10.2 billion) coal project in Australia, winning federal government approval for a new export terminal in Queensland state.
The green-light allows GVK and its Australian partner, the country's richest person, Gina Rinehart, to expand the existing Port of Abbot Point for the planned Alpha coal project.
The project, now awaiting a mining lease from the state, is key to meeting the coal ambitions of GVK, a conglomerate with interests in airports, hotels and transportation. The project could help meet India's huge appetite for coal, which feeds two-thirds of the country's power production.
Approval from Canberra had been seen as a big obstacle after environmentalists expressed worries about coal burning, port dredging and ship traffic along the Great Barrier Reef.
The Labor government had rejected a rail line and port proposal for a rival project, now owned by another Australian mining magnate, Clive Palmer.
The authorities cleared the GVK project after imposing 60 conditions to protect the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area and the marine area.
"We are the only coal developer in Australia to possess environmental approvals at a state and federal level that integrate the mine, rail and port...that will significantly assist in the facilitation of opening up the Galilee Basin," GVK Vice chairman Sanjay Reddy said in a statement.
The Alpha project in the untapped Galilee Basin in Queensland has a mine life of more than 30 years, and would produce 32 million tonnes a year, with first output targeted for early 2016.
Alpha is one of five major coal projects in the basin, together aiming to produce more than 180 million tonnes by the end of the decade and double Australia's current annual thermal coal exports.
All of those projects are seen potentially at risk of being shelved or delayed due to soaring costs and a weaker outlook for coal demand in the near term.

The much awaited ferry service from Tuticorin to Colombo is to dock at the Colombo harbour next Tuesday (June 14) the Ceylon Shipping Corporation (CSC) yesterday said.
The Corporation said that the Indian vessel would leave Tuticorin next Monday (June 13) and would arrive in the country after a 10-12 hour voyage. The vessel is expected to carry VIP’s as well as a limited number of passengers and would be leaving the same week. However, the CSC said that the date of departure for the vessel has not being fixed.
The CSC also said that Sri Lanka was yet to acquire a ferry to provide the weekly service. “We are looking into ferries that need to be approved by our technical team,” said Executive Director, A. D. K. Chandradasa.
He said that the tickets from India to Sri Lanka would cost USD 59 and stated that both countries had agreed to tickets priced below 60 USD, though the price is yet to be decided in Sri Lanka. “The ferry service will be a weekly service and visas for the respective countries should be obtained in the normal manner,” he said.
The ferry service was established on a MOU between the two countries was previously halted due to security threats during the war. The respective governments have however been attempting to re-establish the service since last year but has been delayed due to various reasons.
The service which is mainly established for pilgrims would be sailing once a week and would take 10-12 hours to complete its 280 mile voyage depending on the weather conditions. Vessels have a passenger capacity of almost 1,000 passengers with each being allowed to carry luggage up to 100 Kgs in weight.
While reports suggest that a warehouse in Tuticorin has been converted to a passenger terminal, such services would also be provided by the Colombo Port in Sri Lanka. Authorities say that a new service between Talaimannar and Dhanuskody in Sri Lanka would be established depending on the success of the service

As many of you know, the idea for the Thalia Capo originated with my daughter Thalia, who came to me with her big idea when she was just 8-years old. Music was inspiration in our lives then and it continues today, as both of my girls have grown and continue to play guitar and ukulele. There is nothing as fun or as satisfying as playing music with my wife and girls, watching them perform or sharing the crazy ride of running this business.
Last night on Britain's Got Talent, we got to see another beautiful story unfold that I just have to share with you... Tim Goodacre and his 12-year-old son Jack brought it home, as they both played guitar and harmonized with an original song that earned them a standing ovation and a golden buzzer from Simon Cowell.
We watched this video as a family during breakfast this morning. Everyone was glued to the screen as we fell in love with them and their song all over again. We all left for the day feeling touched by their story.

Following up on our discussion of yesterday's film and Engler's chapter on Latin America, respond to the following question:
At the end of the film, one of the U.S. political consultants says that leaders like Evo Morales represent a "dangerous form of populism." In the chapter "Latin America in Revolt," from How to Rule the World, Mark Engler describes how Morales and other new leaders in Latin America have been accused of "anti-Americanism," "populism" (260) and "demagoguery" (281). What do these accusations mean? What specific policies are these charges based on? Based on Engler's chapters, do you think these fears are justified? What specific policies has Morales implemented and how do they relate to these fears?


Metavers, bitcoins, NFTs, online concerts and fashion shows… in an ever-changing digital world, the possibilities are endless for users. So much so that sometimes we forget to address the question of what they want. This is exactly the subject of PayPal’s E-Commerce Index study.
Online consumption has become the norm in just a few years. Whether shopping, buying train tickets or paying bills, our lives are gradually being exported to a digital world and new habits are constantly being created. PayPal therefore looked at consumers’ online habits. For this study, almost 16,000 participants from 11 European countries aged 18 to 75 answered a questionnaire about their opinion and use of e-commerce. From means of payment to new virtual worlds like metaverse, traversing online consumption habits, immersing yourself in consumers’ concerns and desires.
Respect and ethics, strong values
Despite being in last place when it comes to online purchases, the French spend an average of €270 per month. Vice versa, Sweden ranks first with a monthly budget of €486. Whatever the budget, these purchases are increasingly driven by a desire to shop better and more responsibly. In fact, 46% of European consumers say that the brand’s values and ethical approach drive their purchase.
This approach is even more pronounced among Gen Z, as 71% of them base their purchasing decisions on the brand philosophy. But what are these famous ethical values? Above all, the working conditions of employees, which are questioned by 29% of consumers. Next comes respect for the environment for 27%, defending social concerns for 23% and finally diversity and employee inclusion for 18%. These criteria are part of the collective consciousness of a broader view of purchasing behavior.
Security at the heart of requests
50% of respondents prefer to shop and pay online using a mobile device such as a phone or tablet. It is therefore of paramount importance to ensure that online payment is as secure as possible. It is an essential concept of digital life, the limits of which are being tested on a daily basis. As the number of online transactions continues to grow, transaction security is being put to the test. While 48% of French say trust issues related to security make them less inclined to use an online site, it is becoming increasingly important for brands to offer a safe shopping experience. The study shows that PayPal is perceived as the most trusted payment solution by consumers for almost a quarter.
Security can be a criterion for canceling an order, but it is not the only one. A poor customer experience can also lead to a buyer abandoning the transaction. And that’s not all: 28% of consumers admit to abandoning their shopping cart when they can’t pay for it the way they want. Whether by credit card or through a third party, this criterion is at the top of the list. The way the products are shipped is also very important for the purchase decision. If the shipping costs are too high or the delays are too long, the customer can cancel his order. Vice versaif they are free and the return is free, this can encourage the customer to buy.
Combine business with pleasure
Beyond its lessons, the study also points to the emergence of a new trend, that of social commerce. Buying via social networks is a practice that is becoming more widespread: 43% of Europeans say they have shopped on social networks in the last six months. It is therefore a channel to be preferred, but which networks to choose? In France, 18% of consumers consume on Facebook, 16% on YouTube and 15% on Instagram.
What purchases are made on these social platforms? Clothing and accessories (29%) take the lion’s share ahead of beauty products (20%), online tickets (20%) and finally online games (18%) for an average shopping cart of €127 per month. And even though more than a third of consumers prefer to go directly to the website to make a purchase, social networks play an important role in the purchase decision, especially since the daily average of The time spent on social networks is 2h28.
The future of e-commerce
When the bank card appeared, merchants had to adapt to this novelty in order to suit their customers. In the digital sector, too, new channels mean new means of payment. BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) is an example of customization. PayPal’s e-commerce study shows that despite their ranking in online shopping, the French are the first to use this payment method. But it’s mainly Gen Z who use it the most. 42% of French use it and spend an average of €200 a month thanks to this method.
Additionally, the advent of Web3 and its multiple variations are helping to shape the new contours of online commerce. The study showed that 13% of consumers surveyed believe virtual spaces will be important future channels for e-commerce. And they don’t hesitate to take the plunge! 15% of French people have visited a metaverse, and Gen Z share rises to 40%.
The shift from digital to virtual worlds will undoubtedly allow brands to further innovate in online shopping. To do this, they need to build on the three pillars identified by the study: ethics, safety and the increased importance of social networks.

A new artificial intelligence flight combat system dubbed ALPHA has taken on one of the Air Force's top tactical experts and won. Retired USAF Colonel Gene Lee -- an experienced combat instructor with "considerable fighter aircraft expertise" -- was repeatedly shot down during engagements with ALPHA in a high-fidelity air combat simulation. Lee called his computerized opponent "the most aggressive, responsive, dynamic and credible AI I've seen to date."
The details of Col. Lee's showdown were published in University of Cincinnati Magazine and the ALPHA AI itself was developed by UC offshoot Psibernetix, Inc. as an autonomous wingman to a human pilot. After ALPHA shot down a range of other AI opponents, Col. Lee jumped into the simulator against a "mature" version of the ALPHA code last October. Lee, who has trained thousands of Air Force pilots and has been taking on AI opponents since the early 80s, was unable to score a single kill against ALPHA on multiple tries. In fact, he was shot down every time.
"I was surprised at how aware and reactive it was," Lee told UC Magazine. "It seemed to be aware of my intentions and reacting instantly to my changes in flight and my missile deployment. It knew how to defeat the shot I was taking. It moved instantly between defensive and offensive actions as needed."
Even when the researchers placed ALPHA at a severe disadvantage by limiting the speed, turning, and weapons and sensor capabilities of its simulated aircraft, the AI pilot was able to beat out other expert human pilots. According to UC Magazine, ALPHA's AI is fast and robust enough to actually coordinate a tactical plan in a combat situation "over 250 times faster than ALPHA's human opponents could blink." Going beyond current AI-Human combat teams, ALPHA will eventually be able to control a squad of Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles flying in support of a human pilot, constantly learning and adapting to opponents in the heat of battle.
"ALPHA would be an extremely easy AI to cooperate with and have as a teammate," UC researcher Kelly Cohen explained. "ALPHA could continuously determine the optimal ways to perform tasks commanded by its manned wingman, as well as provide tactical and situational advice to the rest of its flight."
Almost as impressive as ALPHA's piloting skills: the AI's algorithms actually require very little processing power to execute. According to UC researchers, the system was trained and tested on a $500 consumer-grade PC, but it could run on something as simple as a $35 Raspberry Pi machine. It does this using what's called a "Genetic Fuzzy Tree" system that distills data into key language-based variables and makes decisions the same way a human might. The difference, to make the inevitable Top Gun reference, is ALPHA flies "ice cold, no mistakes."

Last week I described the program for Sandro Russo's piano recital as organized around the theme of the art of embellishment. I argued that, taken on those terms, the recital was most impressive, the only weak point being the performance of a Haydn sonata which made heavier cognitive demands on puzzling out just what was being embellished and how. This week, for her "Musical Lunch Break" recital, Tien Hsieh chose a far more challenging theme and, unfortunately, was less successful in meeting the challenge. That theme is the title of this post. I use quotation marks because it happened to be the title of a recital that Earl Wild gave in Carnegie Hall in the fall of 1981, which was subsequently released as a recording. (As a footnote, that recital happened to be my first date with the woman who would later be my life; so I have very fond memories of it!) Wild was most judicious in his choice of title, because his performances made it clear that there was an art to both composing and performing transcriptions that was qualitatively different from the performance of works composed for solo piano. The problem is one of juggling multiple levels of interpretation of the "text." The "original text" is the work being transcribed; but the "text" of the transcription is a reflection of both that work and the impressions of the work by the composer of the transcription. The performer then has to establish his own impressions of how both the "original text" and the transcription can be presented to the audience. Needless to say, this requires as thorough an understanding of the original as of the transcription; and Ms. Hsieh was, for the most part, not particularly convincing in regard to either level of understanding.
This was most apparent in her performance of Liszt's transcription of Beethoven's only song cycle, An die Ferne Geliebte. Beethoven was rarely at the top of his game when writing for voice, but I happen to have a soft spot for this work, probably because in his play, Beethoven's Tenth, Peter Ustinov conjured up a scene in which Beethoven, having come back to life in the twentieth century and had his hearing restored (don't ask), coaches a soprano in singing the first song in the cycle. This scene was convincing enough to change the way I listened to Beethoven (whether or not its message was musicologically sound); and that is more than I can say about just about any of the scenes from Amadeus! Having said all that, I should also point out that Liszt was not at the top of his game for this particular transcription, either, particularly when it is compared against his transcriptions of Schubert Lieder that have been performed so well by pianists like Wild and Jorge Bolet. Still, Hsieh's performance left me wondering if she had ever tried to accompany a vocalist's performance of this cycle, since it invoked no understanding at all of what Beethoven had been doing, even to the point of ignoring where the commas were in the text. (That text is included in the Peters edition of this transcription.)
Things were somewhat better in Hsieh's performance of Liszt's transcription of Bach's G minor organ fantasy and fugue (BWV 542); but Liszt brought better understanding to this transcription, probably because of his own experience with playing the organ. There are a lot of "grand sounds" in both parts of this work. Liszt was clearly interested in capturing that grandeur, and Hsieh was not shy about accommodating his demands. At the same time she brought a delicacy to the exposition of the fugue subjects that treated all four voices (the fourth is a "late arrival") with the individual attention they deserved. Of the two Bach transcriptions she performed, this one was truer to its "original text," which had a lot to do with why listening to it was so satisfying.
The other was Rachmaninoff's transcription of three movements from the E major partita for solo violin (BWV 1006), in which there is a heavy element of Rachmaninoff trying to upstage Bach (fortunately without the blatant vulgarity that Lukas Foss invoked in the "Phorion" movement of his "Baroque Variations"). Nevertheless, I seem to recall that the recording that Rachmaninoff made of these transcriptions had the decency to recognize that the "Gavotte" and "Gigue" movements were dance pieces that benefited from a relatively steady tempo. Notwithstanding a Romantic "tradition" of pulling tempi like pieces of taffy, Hsieh's performances were far from danceable. The "Prelude," however, was suitably dazzling in the best Rachmaninoff tradition.
The only other transcription of a Prokofiev treatment of a Buxtehude organ prelude and fugue with which I was totally unfamiliar. As a matter of fact, until this concert I had been unaware that Prokofiev had attempted this "art of the transcription" (at least not for any music other than his own). This left me at a disadvantage with regard to both the "original text" and the transcription, and I fear that the performance did little for me. On the other hand what was I to expect? Was this meant to invoke the kind of interest that had motivated Bach to make a pilgrimage to Lübeck to hear Buxtehude at the top of his game? Also, if my recording of the complete organ works of Buxtehude includes this in the "Epiphany" section, does that mean it has a liturgical connotation? No such sense was evident in Hsieh's performance.
After all the transcriptions, Hsieh concluded with the first of Liszt's "Mephisto" waltzes. Once again, there was nothing particularly danceable in this performance; but this time it was Liszt at work (being "diabolic"). Unfortunately, the performance was more rambling than diabolic, doing little to invoke the elements of tension and suspense that give this piece all of its impact. The notes were all there, but Mephisto was absent.
