How Much is a FN FAL Rifle Worth?
How Much is a FN FAL Rifle Worth?
Why Do Gun Owners Like FN FAL Rifles?
The FN FAL stands out as one of the most iconic rifles of the 20th century. Designed by the Belgian arms manufacturer FN Herstal, the FAL (Fusil Automatique Léger, or “Light Automatic Rifle”) played a crucial role in conflicts across the globe and earned the nickname “The Right Arm of the Free World” due to its widespread adoption by NATO countries. Introduced in the early 1950s, the FN FAL was adopted by many nations during the Cold War era, serving in various conflicts from the Falklands War to the Gulf War.
The FN FAL’s design allowed for various configurations and adaptations, making it suitable for different roles and terrains, from the jungles of Africa to the deserts of the Middle East. The FN FAL is more than just a rifle; it’s a symbol of an era. Its iconic status, combined with its undeniable reliability and adaptability, makes it a coveted piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. From the standard infantry model to the compact paratrooper variants, each FN FAL tells a story of engineering brilliance, historical events, and the relentless evolution of military arms.
How To Determine The Value of My FN FAL Rifle?
Certain FAL variants are particularly valuable. Here are some of the most sought-after FAL models:
- FN FAL 50.00: This was the standard issue rifle used primarily by military forces. While relatively common, rifles in excellent condition or with unique markings from specific national forces can hold higher value.
- FN FAL 50.61 (Paratrooper): Featuring a folding stock for airborne forces, this variant is highly sought-after due to its compact design and limited numbers relative to the standard model.
- FN FAL 50.63: Another paratrooper model, but with a shorter barrel, making it even more compact. Its distinct profile and the shorter production run can make it particularly valuable.
- FN FAL 50.64: Similar to the 50.61 but with specific modifications, including different sights and bipods. Given its unique features, it’s of interest to many collectors.
- L1A1 SLR: The British/Commonwealth variant of the FAL, this model is semi-automatic and has specific modifications to suit British military requirements. Depending on markings and origin (e.g., Australian, British, Canadian), this variant can be of significant value.
As with any collectible firearm, the condition is paramount. FAL rifles in original, unaltered states, especially those with matching serial numbers and original finishes, command higher prices. Rifles with a high percentage of original finish, sharp markings and minimal alterations or repairs are particularly desirable to collectors.
If more usage is apparent, the value will lower with each imperfection. The more scratches and faded finish that becomes present on the gun from handling and usage can greatly diminish its value. The takeaway is that as the condition of the firearm worsens, the less it will be worth when re-sold. The value of FAL rifles is also influenced by market demand, which can fluctuate over time due to various factors.

Looking back to an incident happened in Kerala few days back a women bleed to death after slamming her head into a banks glass door and impaling herself onto the shredded glass. This incident has happened due to the usage of annealed glass in Kerala which has ended up in taking someones life .We never expect a material which is used for our protection turns out to be our enemy. In a framed partition or door the glass is normally 5 mm thick. An annealed glass door will not ensure the safety of your life as it will be a very thin portion of glass which is used. Once the glass door cracks it starts propagating, tension is further concentrated at the tip of the crack, causing it to propagate at the speed of sound in the material. Consequently, annealed glass is fragile and it breaks into irregular and sharp pieces this is what happened in Kerala.
We at Builttech assure you complete safety in all our projects without any compromise in quality and safety. Our experienced professionals will carve your dream project with ease and without a look back.
Builttech uses the best glass material for all our customers which ensure the complete safety when the project is designed from scratch. Tempered or toughened glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering puts the outer surfaces into compression and the interior into tension. Such stresses causes the glass and when it’s broken, it crumbles into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards as plate glass does. The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury. As we use Toughening glass for all our project which is 5 times stronger then other commonly used regular glass available in the market. The more you use Toughening in the glass the more safety is guaranteed the extra cost for Toughening is just Rs.25 per square foot. This will prevent injury in case of an impact, since toughened glass is 5 times stronger and in case if it breaks, it will disintegrate in to very small crystals and will be easy to clear without any harm to your fellow beings. The importance of safety glass must be acquainted and educated to all the customers in order to avoid such accidents in the coming future.
For any enquires or doubts related to Toughened glass please contact Builttech. We are always at your Service.

Quick service at Waikaka Hotel, the bar manager serves eight customers at a time
We visited Waikaka Hotel two days in a row over Labour Weekend and only noticed the spider on the second visit! We were amazed we’d failed to notice it the day before – just as well its not for real 🙂
Waikaka Hotel is at the heart of a small country village named Waikaka located about 20 minutes drive from Gore. I’ve previously posted pictures of Waikaka including the hotel in Out in the Countryside

Some dramatic New Zealand spider photos were posted today by Wendy from the North Island. Take a look if you’re interested in spiders. Its a native water spider…
“This native water spider, dolomedes aquaticus, sprinted across the surface of the stream and up The Man of House’s leg while he was working on the water wheel.” – see the photos at Meet the Residents: Water Spider

1. Opening Licks
* Mötley Crüe - "Shout at the Devil"
: Actually a pretty cool Crue song, for what it's worth. I played it, it's not too difficult, but it's way harder than "I Love Rock n Roll"
* Danzig - "Mother"
: Danzig's best song probably. It's kinda slow, but it's cool.
* Cheap Trick - "Surrender"
: Cheap Trick's best song probably. No that it says much.
* Wolfmother - "Woman"
: Don't know this song.
* Spinal Tap - "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight"
: YEAH! Putting Spinal Tap on this is a genius move.2. Amp-Warmers
* KISS - "Strutter"
: A pretty cool song as far as KISS goes, plus it has some entertaining guitar noodling. I've played it, the chorus, filled with three button chords, took a little adjustment.
* Nirvana - "Heart-Shaped Box"
: Not that Nirvana leads are incredibly complicated, but it's good to have some variety.
* The Police - "Message in a Bottle"
: Good on them not to pick the really obvious Police songs.
* Van Halen - "You Really Got Me"
: Not the ovbious VH choice, but a fine one nonetheless. I've played it, so far it's been my favorite.
* Kansas - "Carry On Wayward Son"
: A little prog to spice things up. Pretty good song, I guess.3. String-Snappers
* Foo Fighters - "Monkey Wrench"
: Don't know this one either.
* Alice in Chains - "Them Bones"
: Pretty sweet song.
* Iggy Pop and The Stooges - "Search and Destroy"
: One of the few punk songs on here, though I think that's a good thing. Let's face it, people don't idolize punk guitar playing.
* The Pretenders - "Tattooed Love Boys"
: Don't know this either.
* Black Sabbath - "War Pigs"
: Awesome, awesome song - though it will be tough to see if I can be interested for the whole 8 and a half minutes.4. Thrash and Burn
* Warrant - "Cherry Pie"
: I don't specifically remember this song, but Warrant kinda sucks
* Butthole Surfers - "Who Was in My Room Last Night?"
: Ha. Butthole Surfers.
* Matthew Sweet - "Girlfriend"
: Hm, this is the only one where I don't even know the artist. It sounds familiar (though gay).
* The Rolling Stones - "Can't You Hear Me Knocking"
: Whoa, they got the Stones. Not that I really love the Stones, but it's an accomplishment.
* Guns N' Roses - "Sweet Child O' Mine"
: Hopefully whoever sings this doesn't take the Axl Rose impersonation too seroiusly. Cool riff though.5. Return of the Shred
* Rage Against the Machine - "Killing in the Name"
: YEAH! Awesome choice. I wonder if they can get a good Zach de la Rocha impersonator though. But the solo is awesome.
* Primus - "John the Fisherman"
: It will be the original recording of the song. Though it has a pretty cool yet pretty weird guitar playing, this will most likely be about the bass.
* The Sword - "Freya"
: Another artist I don't even know.
* Thin Lizzy - "Bad Reputation"
: Thin Lizzy is pretty cool, though you wonder if maybe playing that little melody from The Boys are Back in Town would be cooler.
* Aerosmith - "Last Child"
: Another well-made, non obvious pick. Not that I really love Aerosmith either, but still.6. Relentless Riffs
* Heart - "Crazy on You"
: Some classic rock stuff.
* Stone Temple Pilots - "Trippin' On a Hole in a Paper Heart"
: Some alt stuff.
* Stray Cats - "Rock This Town"
: Some I don't know stuff. Wait now I remember, they're that awesome rockabilly group. Yeah!
* The Allman Brothers Band - "Jessica"
: Oh yeah, the Allman Brothers Band! Talk about a cool group of guitarists.
* Jane's Addiction - "Stop!"
: Notice the amount of funk-metal in this game as compared to the last.7. Furious Fretwork
* Anthrax - "Madhouse"
: Not really a band known for their guitar leads, but it's a good song.
* The Living End - "Carry Me Home"
: No idea.
* Lamb of God - "Laid to Rest"
: Modern metal. Not really my thing.
* The Reverend Horton Heat - "Psychobilly Freakout"
: This song rules though. It's pretty fast.
* Rush - "YYZ"
: The long instrumental, I'd say it's II's response to I's "Frankenstein". Played it, pretty tough, and not even that particularly fun. Maybe the Geddy Lee bass parts will be cooler.8. Face-Melters
* Avenged Sevenfold - "Beast and the Harlot"
: Don't like the band, but I guess for what it's worth it could be fun to play their solos.
* Suicidal Tendencies - "Institutionalized"
: Good band, and though most people love this song, I don't really. But obviously I'm in the minority there.
* Dick Dale - "Misirlou"
: You know, the surf song. Awesome choice.
* Megadeth - "Hangar 18"
: A real ass-kicker. The first installment had a Megadeth song, but it wasn't so awesome since it was probably their easist riff to play. This one is long with a huge amount of complex solos. It will be a challenge.
* Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Free Bird"
: I don't know. It's a bit of an obvious choice to stick in as the "boss song". I think it should be Hangar 18.Bonus Tracks
* The Last Vegas - "Raw Dog"
: They won the Be A Guitar Hero contest, so I'm sure it's shredding and pretty cool.
* Drist - "Arterial Black"
: Drist is pretty cool and Marcus Henderson tears it up.Final Comments:
Some overall nice variety and selection. Less punk, more rockabilly and more hair-metal. Moves which, in my mind, play up to the game's strengths. Some obvious things still missing:
- "Crazy Train" by Ozzy or really any sort of Randy Rhoads solos.
- Anything by Metallica or Iron Maiden (I'd love to play "Battery" or "2 Minutes to Midnight")
- AC/DC or Deep Purple. Specifically, I'd like "Highway Star".
- Some Run-D.M.C. maybe?
I guess we can still hope in the bonus songs. If not, well there's always III.

As you know I started this quilt way before the occurrences on Friday, but over the last couple of days I have become more aware the symbolism of the block. The red squares stand for the warmth of the fireplace and the love of home, as well as the cornerstones of our lives and society. The light side of the block represent the joys and happiness of our lives while the dark side is for sorrow and tragedy. But as long as the fires keep burning and the cornerstones stand there will always be more joy than sadness.
I do not have a fireplace in my flat, but will keep a candle burning for the lives cut short, those hurt and still missing, and all who experience loss and sorrow in the tragedy of this weekend.

GOOD MORNING: Basing emotions on early voting “exit polls” can be as dangerous as basing box office returns via “research” polls. It was producer — and longtime Kerry supporter — Mark Canton at the Boston airport Tuesday morning. He was heading back to the “Land of the Dead” (!) location in Toronto after spending the long night with the Demos at the Westin Copley Plaza. Canton has known Kerry since 1984 when introduced to him by Bob Daly and Jack Valenti. He has been friends with the Kerry family in Sun Valley and, as a board member of the AFI, he knows the directing talents of daughter Alexandra. After the cold night in Boston, Canton said he’ll be shooting 33 nights of “Land of the Dead” for Universal directed by George A. Romero and starring Simon Baker, Dennis Hopper, John Leguizamo, Asia Argento and Robert Joy. Bernie Goldman produces along with Canton. Their Atmosphere MM banner next films “300” for WB with Zack Snyder directing Frank Miller’s graphic novel. They follow with “The Spiderwick Chronicles” for Nickelodeon Movies … Robert Redford, who also had been involved in the Kerry campaign, is still planning his own presidential role in the next feature chapter of “The Candidate,” scripted by Larry Gelbart — who takes time off this bigscreener this weekend to contribute his priceless prose to tributes by the Thalians to Red Buttons and to Cy Coleman by the Actors Fund. Gelbart will also inimitably add to the celebration of the life of Tony Randall, Monday … David Paymer, who was another Kerry supporter, notes, “It’s good to be still working for a Democrat.” He’s playing FDR’s friend and adviser Louis Howe in “Warm Springs.” The HBO’er tells the story of Roosevelt’s battle to overcome polio from 1921 until his death in 1945. Kenneth Branagh plays FDR. Paymer’s political credit sheet includes, “Nixon,” “The American President,” “RFK” and “City Hall.” He segues to direct a seg of “Everwood” starring pal Treat Williams … Another showbiz-supported candidate was defeated Monday. Nick Clooney, George’s dad, lost in his bid for a Congressional seat in the fourth district of Kentucky — which went Republican.
ESTHER WILLIAMS, HUSBAND Edward Bell and Argus Entertainment’s Victor Bardack are readying an MOW version of her book, “The Million Dollar Mermaid.” Bell reports he and Bardack have screenplayed the book and plan an international search for the girl to play “The Million Dollar Mermaid.” Further, the pic’s star will also star in an extravaganza, “Aquaria,” to be built at the Las Vegas Flamingo hotel in 2005. Daniel Flannery will produce the live show with Esther as coproducer. “She has to look — and swim — pretty,” Bell advises the would-be mermaid aspirants … It’s family time on the WB lot for Emilio Estevez, father Martin Sheen and brother Charlie Sheen. They shoot their respective series on nearby WB stages: Charlie on “Two and a Half Men,” Martin on “West Wing” and Emilio on his new series, “Long Island Sound,” which he also produces with Eric and Kim Tannenbaum. Emilio admits, “This is a good time for me” as he also directs the seg of NBC’s “Cold Case” that airs Sunday.

Lee Foundation Theatre, NAFA
This review was published in The Straits Times on 7 September 2012 with the title "NAFA Orchestra buoyed by change".
Stranger things have happened, but long-time Singapore Symphony Orchestra former Resident Conductor Lim Yau has found himself appointed Head of Music of the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts at the age of sixty. While others ponder retirement, academic life has just begun for this indefatigable maestro.
His first task was to transform the NAFA Orchestra from a work in progress to something more definitive. Within six short months, the signs have been most encouraging. If its performance of Brahms’s Second Symphony earlier this year had displayed sincerity and promise, this evening’s Beethoven Third Symphony “Eroica” was a show of true stature and conviction.
From the two emphatically punched-out chords on the outset, the opening movement emanated a nervous tension that was edgy and fully cognisant of Beethoven’s restless spirit. Well-paced and brimming with brio, there was no compromise in sound production, which was always full-bodied and radiated warmth even at the high cruising speed taken.
Betrayal by Napoleon Bonaparte of his republican principles (by crowning himself emperor) set the tone for the ensuing Funeral March. The hero of the symphony’s title had not just died but Beethoven’s ideals had instead been crushed. And so this march was not so much a tragic procession but a statement of defiance.
The nobility of the playing was buoyed by Ukrainian student Vladyslav Shevchenko’s fine oboe solos which portrayed a solitary figure of pathos before morphing into the woodwinds’ swinging ringleader for the jocular Scherzo. Here the trio of French horns also distinguished themselves with their rousing rounds of whooping exuberance.
There were so many positives to draw from the symphony and an exhaustive list would be close to endless. The orchestra also played perceptive partner for violinist Foo Say Ming in Tchaikovsky’s ever-popular Violin Concerto. The leader-director of hip string band re:mix opened with uncharacteristic reticence and restraint in the first movement, and the spirit flagged like vodka losing its potent zing.
Thankfully, the slow movement’s Canzonetta found Foo in his heart-on-sleeve lyrical best, and boosted by this, all the fetters fell for the fiery finale. By now, caution was rightly committed to the wind by all concerned and the Russian rambunctiousness restored for all its worth. The next NAFA Orchestra concert will be something worth waiting for.

Tesla has made nearly $2 billion selling surplus greenhouse gas credits.
In the United States, automakers earn greenhouse gas credits — also known as zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV) credits — from the government based on the number of electric vehicles they sell. Each manufacturer has to pay a fine if they don't maintain a certain number of these credits, so the idea is that the system will encourage investment in EVs.
Since Tesla only makes EVs, it has a surplus of ZEV credits, so it's been selling them to other automakers. This has allowed Tesla to generate nearly $2 billion in revenue since 2010 — but it's also giving other automakers a pass to continue polluting the environment.
On Monday, Bloomberg published documents revealing two of the companies that have purchased ZEV credits from Tesla: GM and Fiat Chrysler. While Tesla's sale of the credits wasn't exactly a secret, this is the first time anyone had identified the buyers — and the fact that GM is one of them has raised some eyebrows.
It seems that while the company currently produces enough EVs to meet its credit requirements, GM is worried that it might not in the future if regulations tighten, so it's purchasing the credits as "an insurance policy," a GM spokesperson told TechCrunch.
That means Tesla is essentially providing GM with a way to avoid a speedy transition to EVs — which is supposed to be the point of the credits in the first place.

Digital advertisingis expected to outpace all other ad media by 2024 or 2025.
- Online gaming was the fastest growing M&E segment in 2020. The online gaming segment grew 18% in 2020 to reach INR 77 billion.
Digital media and online gaming were the only segments which grew in 2020 adding an aggregate of INR26 billion. Other segments have degrown by an aggregate of INR467 billion. While M&E as a sector has usually grown and often outperformed India’s nominal GDP, the sector fell three times (3x) India’s nominal GDP fall of 8% due to the discretionary nature of the spend. Subscription revenues however proved their mettle by holding up better than advertising revenues.
Sanjay Gupta, Chairman, FICCI Media & Entertainment Committee, said, “Digital is fuelling an unprecedented growth in content creation and consumption in almost every Indian language, creating new economic opportunities for both the media and entertainment industry and creative professionals across the country. We need to capitalise on this and unlock the full potential of India’s creative ability to power India’s economic engine.”
Ashish Pherwani, Partner and Media & Entertainment Leader, EY India, stated, “The M&E sector witnessed a shift in demand patterns as consumers actively sought alternatives and had the time to try new things. Consumption patterns shifted and increased across online news, gaming and entertainment. The supply side too transformed as companies took the opportunity to reinvent themselves. Every segment redefined itself across verticals by becoming medium agnostic and embedded video, audio, textual and experiential products to enhance their offerings. However, the compelling content created around news and escapism, and the passion to build some of India’s most powerful brands remained resolute.”
Key insights – Television segment revenues are expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% to reach INR847 billion by 2023 driven by increased base of subscribers as households continue to get televised. Growth will be driven by connected TVs which could cross 40 million homes by 2025 and free television could cross 50 million homes by then, thereby making core television a more massified product. The smart television will usher in an era of connected viewing which will enable viewers to interact with each other, as well as the broadcaster, through the content. The importance of regional and sports programming will increase, driving up both ad rates as well as end-consumer package pricing, subject to regulatory action.
- Digital media:
Key insights: Digital advertising is expected to outpace all other ad media by 2024 or 2025. The metrics that matter will change from monthly active users to daily active users, from audience numbers to engagement, loyalty and time spent, leading to platforms focusing on segmented audiences and community ownership. Newspaper digital products will increasingly go behind paywalls and it is expected to generate subscription revenues of INR4 billion by 2023. It is estimated that demand for original content will double by 2023 from 2019 levels to over 3,000 hours per year. The share of regional language consumption on OTT platforms will cross 50% of total time spent by 2025.
Key insights –Transformation in the print segment is expected to be in the areas of product realignment, revenue transformation, cost intelligence and digital demarcation. Print will need to focus on growing reach in its existing markets through a combination of identifying new micro-markets which are underpenetrated as well as forging bundle deals with direct to consumer aggregators like television, e-commerce platforms, OTT platforms, etc. Significantly, more industry-level shared services initiatives are expected to ensure cost efficiencies. Publishers can also implement process automation for productivity improvement across key business processes. The focus will remain on strengthening the print segment’s core capability to building communities but with a wider scope of offerings to them apart from just news.
- Online Gaming:
Key Insights: The segment is expected to reach INR155 billion by 2023 at a CAGR of 27% to become the third largest segment of the Indian M&E sector. Gaming will become all pervasive and will proliferate across our lives. The segment will grow across all its verticals viz, esports, fantasy sport, casual gaming and other games of skill, but revenue growth will be led by mobile-based real-money gaming applications across these verticals. A nodal agency is required to bring clarity in regulations and well as implement responsible gaming guidelines and monitor areas like minor game play, security, data protection, content guidelines and training.

The accurate measurement of Longitude
by Pete London
Sir Cloudesley Shovell was Commander of the British fleets during the reign of Queen Anne, a national hero who’d fought and defeated the Dutch, French and Spanish navies. But in terrible weather during the evening of 22nd October 1707, Sir Cloudesley and four of his ships were wrecked among the western rocks of Scillonia. The tragedy was caused by catastrophic navigational errors and its shockwaves led to demands for an accurate method of measuring longitude at sea, a challenge which for many years stayed unsolved.

HC Contractors grows to become familiar name in Fairbanks
Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
Sep 8, 2013
FAIRBANKS — When Bill Hoople walks through Fairbanks, he can point out building after building
he helped create — from the iconic, the Rabinowitz Courthouse, to the mundane, the state parking
Hoople is the sole owner and president of HC Contractors, one of the few construction companies
based in Fairbanks. Many Fairbanksans likely will recognize the company’s name from the number
of projects it is in the process of completing around town.
The contractors have been working this summer on projects on Wickersham Street, building bike
paths on Chena Pump Road and installing more than 100 handicap ramps throughout the city.
“That’s why you see us quite a bit,” Hoople said with a laugh. “When you do 104 handicap ramps
downtown, we’re on every street corner.”

The fractious debate over President Barack Obama‘s efforts to reform US healthcare has provoked a transatlantic split, as some critics from the American right ridicule the UK’s National Health Service, which some people view as a possible model for the US.
David Cameron, leader of the UK’s opposition Conservatives, on Friday added his voice to that of Gordon Brown, Labour prime minister, in defending the NHS from US criticism, saying Britons were proud of the service. Mr Brown’s intervention on the Twitter social networking site came as some Republicans used the NHS as an example of the potential pitfalls facing Mr Obama as the US president tries to push through a healthcare reform bill. Would you rather be sick in the US or in the UK? Click on the “comment” button to join the debate.
FT Editorial: US health reform is irresistible
The current system causes insecurity, ties workers to jobs they might prefer to leave, suppresses wages and encourages over-consumption of over-priced services. The case for change is irresistible.
Philip Stephens: Home truths about rationing healthcare
All models of healthcare, the American included, share one characteristic. They ration access, while pretending otherwise. In Britain, the state imposes the limits; in the US the market does much the same job. What separates them are questions of efficiency and equity.
Clive Crook: Obama took wrong turn on health
Despite independent analysis, the president is continuing to insist that control of costs is the principal reason for embarking on reform. This is worrying moderates, the very people whose support is needed to bring about change.
Video: Nicholas Timmins on fact and fiction in the health debate
As some on the US right ridicule Britain’s NHS in the discussion over US healthcare reform, Nicholas Timmins, public policy editor, looks at the pros and cons of each model.
Edward Luce: Healthcare paranoia is part of America’s culture war
To its surprise, the Obama administration is faced with a full-scale culture war over healthcare which has very little to do with arguments and everything to do with identity.

After a series of delays, Chapel Hill Transit is beginning to receive the new equipment needed to get Next Bus live bus tracking running again.
Chapel Hill Transit Director Brian Litchfield said as of last week, Chapel Hill Transit has received and installed 25 units of tracking technology from Next Bus, but it has yet to receive and install most of the remaining units.
Transit users have been without a real-time bus tracking system since 3G networks that supported Next Bus tracking were deactivated in February 2022.
“I can’t give a solid timeline as to when it will be back at this point, but the good news is, at the start of the year, we had zero units,” Litchfield said. “As of this week, we had 25. They're installed. So, we're hoping that the next 70 will be shipped soon and we'll be able to get them installed and that system back up and running.”
New modems were initially slated to arrive in 2021, but have been delayed several times. Litchfield said supply chain issues have made the last year difficult and frustrating for customers and Chapel Hill Transit as a whole.
The revamped Next Bus system will be using 5G modems, according to a Chapel Hill Transit news release.
Litchfield said even though it is bringing back Next Bus, Chapel Hill Transit is looking to replace it with a new system in the near future. He said it has finalized a contract with a new company, which uses different proprietary technology than Next Bus and will not be encounter the same issues.
“I think it's important for folks to know that there's also a new system that's going to be replacing Next Bus, hopefully, if not this spring, hopefully this summer and before students come back for the fall semester,” he said.
Carrboro Mayor Damon Seils said the absence of real-time tracking has been impacting him and other transit users, despite bus schedules being available online and in Google Maps transit directions.

Between 1890 and 1920 middle-class white and black Alabama women created a large number of clubs and organizations that took them out of the home and provided them with roles in the public sphere. Beginning with the Alabama Woman's Christian Temperance Union in the 1880s and followed by the Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs and the Alabama Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in the 1890s, women spearheaded the drive to eliminate child labor, worked to improve the educational system, up-graded the jails and prisons, and created reform schools for both boys and girls. Suffrage was also an item on the Progressive agenda. After a brief surge of activity during the 1890s, the suffrage drive lay dormant until 1912, when women created the Alabama Equal Suffrage Association. During their campaigns in 1915 and 1919 to persuade the legislature to enfranchise women, the leaders learned the art of politics--how to educate, organize, lobby, and count votes.
Women seeking validation for their roles as homemakers and mothers demanded a hearing in the political arena for issues that affected them and their families. In the process they began to erase the line between the public world of men and the private world of women. These were the New Women who tackled the problems created by the rapid industrialization and urbanization of the New South. By 1920 Alabama women had created new public spaces for themselves in these voluntary associations. As a consequence of their involvement in reform crusades, the women's club movement, and the campaign for woman suffrage, women were no longer passive and dependent. They were willing and able to be rightful participants.
Thomas's book is the first of its kind to focus on the reform activities of women during the Progressive Era and the first to consider the southern woman and all the organizations of middle-class black and white women in the South and particularly in Alabama. It is also the first to explore the drive of Alabama women to obtain the vote.

A fight among children caught on video led to the arrest of eleven Black students, charged for not stopping the fight. Kids as young as 8 were cuffed and booked into jail, even though Tennessee law says juveniles can’t be detained for minor infractions. Two attorneys were shocked to learn that over a decade officials in Rutherford County arrested hundreds of children for small violations and left them in jail cells for days. The police, the prosecutors, and the detention center all ignored the case law for one reason: the juvenile court judge told them to.
From Serial Productions and The New York Times comes “The Kids of Rutherford County.” Host Meribah Knight looks at a massive civil rights violation, reveals how it came to be, and follows the two juvenile delinquents-turned-lawyers who try to do something about it.

Beirut raises concerns as Israel plans to drill for gas near Lebanon’s territorial waters, saying its own potential reserves will be affected.
Lebanon said on Monday that it is seeking quick approval of draft legislation for offshore drilling during a parliamentary session on Tuesday before sending the measure onto the full legislature.
The move comes in response to a US-Israeli consortium’s announcement of the discovery of major gas reserves in Lebanon’s territorial waters.
Israel plans to drill for oil and gas in Lebanon’s sovereign territory, Lebanon’s An-Nahar newspaper reported on Monday.
After a parliamentary meeting, Lebanese Water Resources Minister Jebran Bassil said he expects the parliament to pass the measure quickly.
But it is important to demarcate the maritime border with Israel to prevent the Israelis from encroaching on Lebanon’s sovereign territory, he added.
Israel has said it is eyeing the Leviathan natural gas field near Haifa, which extends into Lebanese waters. The Leviathan field could hold as much as 16 trillion square feet of natural gas.
Lebanese officials hope that agreement on the law will open the way to international companies to bid for exploration rights in their country’s waters.


Fourth coldest game in NFL history sees 69 people aided by fire department, ‘close to 50%’ for hypothermia symptoms
Emergency services in Kansas City rendered aid to 69 people, many for “hypothermia symptoms,” during the Chiefs’ Super Wild Card playoff win over the Miami Dolphins on Saturday, a fire department chief told CNN.
Despite a travel ban in the Buffalo area, some fans walked to the stadium to help shovel it out as a lake-effect snow band buried the region on Jan. 14.
(CNN) — Emergency services in Kansas City rendered aid to 69 people, many for “hypothermia symptoms,” during the Chiefs’ Super Wild Card playoff win over the Miami Dolphins on Saturday, a fire department chief told CNN.
Conditions at Arrowhead Stadium during the Chiefs’ 26-7 win were tough for players and coaches to deal with, as well as fans: the temperature at kickoff was -4 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -20 degrees, making it the fourth coldest game in National Football League history, CNN has reported.
At the end of the game, the temperature was -9 degrees and felt like -28 degrees, according to the Peacock broadcast.
And while players could be seen huddling by pitch-side heaters and many made the most of heated benches in a bid to keep out the cold, fans had to wrap up warm as they watched from the stands.

However, emergency services in the area were required to look after a number of people for whom the below-zero temperatures were too much.
The Kansas City Fire Department (KCFD) gave aid to 69 people – “close to 50% … were for hypothermia symptoms” – during the game, KCFD battalion chief Michael Hopkins told CNN.
Fifteen of the patients seen were transported by KCFD, “seven for hypothermia symptoms, three for frostbite symptoms, and five for various other reasons,” said Hopkins.
The Kansas City “metro area has been plunged into the deep freeze with below zero temperatures for much of the past weekend, including the Chiefs game,” said a University of Kansas Health System news release.
The medical system, which provides first aid at Arrowhead Stadium, has not yet released data on the patients treated during the game.

“At this time, we are awaiting approval from The Kansas City Chiefs to release the numbers of patients treated at the seven aid stations at the stadium, and the various types of conditions treated,” said the news release.
“The Emergency Department at The University of Kansas Health System continues to see patients for weather-related problems,” according to the news release.
According to the hospital, since Tuesday, January 9 there have been 59 patients were treated due to the harsh conditions for “shortness of breath, exposure, heart attack from exertion, motor vehicle accidents, slipping and falling on ice.”
Eight of those patients were admitted to the hospital. In addition, there were also nine patients with frostbite admitted to the Burnett Burn Center, said the news release.
Saturday’s conditions are rivaled by the coldest NFL game on record: the December 1967 “Ice Bowl” in Wisconsin, when the Green Bay Packers beat the Dallas Cowboys amid -13 Fahrenheit air temperature and a -48 wind chill, according to the NFL.

Regarded as one of the best plastic surgeons in the San Diego area, breast reconstruction specialist Dr. Michael Halls and his staff focus on patient education so you feel confident about your decisions from consultation through your recovery and beyond. If you have any questions that are not answered below, please don’t hesitate to contact us online or call (858) 458-0100 today to request a breast reconstruction consultation at La Jolla Breast Institute.
Am I a good candidate for breast reconstruction?
The best candidates for reconstructive breast surgery are facing a breast cancer diagnosis requiring surgical treatment, or may have already undergone a mastectomy or lumpectomy previously and are only now pursuing reconstruction. You should be in good general physical and mental health, and have realistic expectations about your results. Although breast reconstruction can play a critical role in the emotional and physical healing process after breast cancer, the goal of reconstruction is to restore a symmetrical, feminine figure that helps you feel confident about your body rather than to recreate a perfect breast.
Will my reconstructed breast feel real?
The combination of today’s advanced surgical techniques and breast implants that look and feel more than ever like organic breast tissue mean a final breast reconstruction result that also looks and feels very natural. The texture of your reconstructed breast will vary depending on whether Dr. Halls performed implant based reconstruction or tissue based reconstruction, as well as how much natural breast tissue remains after your mastectomy. Most women are very pleased with the final results of their reconstructive breast surgery.
Can I schedule my breast reconstruction at the same time as my mastectomy?
Yes. Some women may prefer to begin the reconstruction process right away, which is known as immediate breast reconstruction. Immediate reconstruction can be tissue-based or may be performed using implants. Sometimes additional procedures may be needed after the initial surgery. For example, if tissue expanders are placed initially at the time of your mastectomy, you may need another surgery later on to exchange the expanders for your final breast implants. Immediate reconstruction allows for more control of the size and position of scars and can be used with skin and even nipple sparing mastectomies.
I’m not sure about breast reconstruction yet. Is it a bad idea to wait a little longer?
Choosing the proper timing for your breast reconstruction is a very personal decision that depends on your breast cancer treatment, your anatomy and your personal preference. Some women prefer to take immediate steps toward reconstruction at the same time as their mastectomy, while others may wait months or even years after cancer treatment before looking into their reconstruction options. Like immediate reconstruction, delayed reconstruction can be tissue-based or implant-based. There’s no one answer that works best for every woman; the best time for your own breast reconstruction is the time that feels right for you.
How “normal” will my reconstructed breast look?
As a reconstructive breast surgery specialist, Dr. Halls is familiar with every aspect of the reconstruction process, even pioneering a new technique that relocates the necessary scars after mastectomy so they’re not on the breast itself. Dr. Halls is completely committed to delivering superior results for your reconstruction that look as much like your natural breast as possible.
Which is better: implants or tissue-based reconstruction?
There isn’t one specific reconstruction technique that’s inherently better than another, only the option that may work better for meeting your particular goals and needs. Some women like the convenience of implant-based reconstruction, while others prefer reconstruction with their own tissue rather than using an implant. Dr. Halls will take the time to discuss your goals and your surgical options in great detail during your consultation so you’ll know that you’re making the decision that’s best for you.
What about nipple reconstruction?
Nipple reconstruction is typically performed a few months after your breast reconstruction has fully healed, or after further cancer treatment like radiation is completed. Reconstruction of the nipple is a 2-part process. First, the dimensionality of the nipple is formed using the skin and tissue of your reconstructed breast. Next, the reconstructed nipple and surrounding areola are tattooed a darker shade, just like a natural nipple and areola look. Both steps are very brief and minor outpatient procedures, but together they can help you feel as if your reconstruction journey is finally complete.
Will insurance cover my breast reconstruction?
The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA), enacted in 1998, made coverage of reconstructive breast and nipple surgery mandatory by federal law. This means that any health insurance provider that offers coverage of a mastectomy or lumpectomy is also required to cover breast reconstruction, nipple reconstruction and any necessary cosmetic procedures on the opposite breast to ensure symmetry. The job of coordinating insurance coverage for breast reconstruction can be complex and time-consuming, but Dr. Halls’ staff is happy to help gather all the documentation you need to ensure that the process becomes as streamlined as possible.

Mizzou Announces Men's Basketball Game at Sprint Center
KANSAS CITY, Missouri - Mizzou basketball announced today it will take on a former Big Eight and Big 12 rival this season in Kansas City.
The Tigers scheduled a tough out of conference date with the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The former conference rivals will meet in late December in the same arena they last played - The Sprint Center.
Of course, that game was the Big 12 tournament, where the Tigers crushed the Cowboys 88-70.
"We had this opportunity, though I looked at it and wondered how smart it was, playing a great team like Oklahoma State," said MU Men's Basketball Coach Kim Anderson. "I thought it was one that was great for our student athletes, one that is great for our fan base, and one that was great for college basketball in general."

Cost-Efficacy Analysis of the MONET Trial Using UK Antiretroviral Drug Prices
Andrew Hill and
Anne Anceau Additional contact information Brian Gazzard: Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London, UK
Andrew Hill: Pharmacology Research Laboratories, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK
Anne Anceau: Janssen-Cilag, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France
Background: In virologically suppressed patients, switching to darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r) monotherapy maintains HIV RNA suppression, and could also lower treatment costs. Objective: The purpose of this analysis was to calculate the potential cost savings from the use of DRV/r monotherapy in the UK. Methods: In the MONET trial, 256 patients with HIV RNA <50 copies/mL on current highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for over 24 weeks (non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor [NNRTI] based [43%] or protease inhibitor [PI] based [57%]), switched to DRV/r 800/100 mg once daily, either as monotherapy (n - 127) or with two NRTIs (n - 129). The UK costs per patient with HIV RNA <50 copies/mL at week 48 (responders) were calculated using a 'switch included' analysis to account for additional antiretrovirals taken after initial treatment failure. By this analysis, efficacy was 93.5% versus 95.1% in the DRV/r monotherapy and triple therapy arms, respectively. British National Formulary 2009 values were used. Results: Before the trial, the mean annual cost of antiretrovirals was £6906 for patients receiving NNRTI-based HAART, and £8348 for patients receiving PI-based HAART. During the MONET trial, the mean annual per-patient cost of antiretrovirals was £8642 in the triple therapy arm, of which 55% was from NRTIs and 45% from PIs. The mean per-patient cost in the monotherapy arm was £4126, a saving of 52% versus triple therapy. The mean cost per responder was £9085 in the triple therapy arm versus £4413 in the DRV/r monotherapy arm. Conclusions: Based on the MONET results, the lower cost of DRV/r monotherapy versus triple therapy in the UK would allow more patients to be treated for fixed budgets, while maintaining HIV RNA suppression at <50 copies/mL. If all patients meeting the inclusion criteria of the MONET trial in the UK were switched to DRV/r monotherapy, there is the potential to save up to £60 million in antiretroviral drug costs from the UK NHS budget.

Regal Springs leader calls for changing the way “by-products” are categorized
Amidst a lively discussion surrounding the value and potential of seafood by-products at the SeaWeb Seafood Summit in Barcelona, Spain this week, Regal Springs Group’s Peter Hajipieris noted the power of words – and suggested a revision to the way the industry refers to its “by-product” innovations and initiatives.
“By-product is an industrial term, it’s not a consumer term,” Hajipieris said during the Summit session “Maximizing the Whole Fish: How By-products Can Increase Food Production, Value, And Sustainability.”
Engaging consumers with “by-products” won’t be as effective using such a term, he said. A classification like “value-added” would serve to better encapsulate the product innovations created from fish parts that go beyond the fillet, which accounts for less than 50 percent of the whole animal.
“Stop calling it ‘by-product’ – it’s value-added,” Hajipieris added. “That is a key mindset change that I think we need to encourage.”
Regal Springs – which operates tilapia and fish farms in rural areas of Mexico, Honduras and Indonesia – aims to “reset the framework” regarding the way it approaches and discusses sustainable product innovations that incorporate discarded fish parts via its Zero Fish Waste Policy, explained Hajipieris.
The policy, which stands as “a classic sustainability value creation story lead by a good, commercial business,” ensures that fish parts not used in the company’s core product range – including fillets, loins, and portions – are innovatively repurposed into commodities such as animal feeds, bandages for the pharmaceutical industry, belts for the high-end fashion sector, and collagen for the beauty business.
These products created from the balance of Regal Springs’ core premium fish range have added considerable value to the business, and have informed the company’s innovative approach to sustainability.
“It’s a high cost material – why waste it? Just maximize it by innovating,” Hajipieris said. “And it’s the innovation piece that I think the sector’s going to get really focused on.”

That’s how many Senate seats Democrats would control if Democrat Cory Booker wins a special election today in New Jersey.
A victory by Booker, the Newark mayor who leads Republican opponent Steve Lonegan in polls, would allow the Democrat to succeed Republican Jeff Chiesa, who’s been serving the past four months as the interim appointee of Republican Gov. Chris Christie. Democrat Frank Lautenberg died in June.
That 55th Democratic vote could come in handy for Majority Leader Harry Reid as he seeks to advance the priorities of his party and President Barack Obama in the Senate, including a resolution to the partial government shutdown and the impasse over raising the $16.7 trillion federal borrowing limit.
A Booker victory would mark the 14th straight win for Democrats in Senate elections in New Jersey, a streak that began in 1976. Only in West Virginia and Hawaii have the Republicans gone longer without winning a Senate race, according to Smart Politics.
Democrats have won those 13 consecutive Senate elections by an average margin of 11 percentage points. A Booker win by at least 10 points would for the first time give Democrats three straight double-digit wins in New Jersey Senate races.
Booker led Lonegan by 52 percent to 42 percent in a Monmouth University poll conducted Oct. 10-12.

A further 438 cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed by the Department of Health.
There are 116 patients with the virus in hospital, including 43 in intensive care.
Data on deaths continues to be unavailable due to the cyberattack on the health service.
As of midnight, Saturday 22nd May, the @hpscireland has been notified of 438* confirmed cases of #COVID19.
43 in ICU. 116 in hospital.
*Daily case numbers may change due to future data validation.
— Department of Health (@roinnslainte) May 23, 2021
In Northern Ireland on Sunday, there were 77 positive cases but no deaths linked to the virus reported in the past 24 hours.
A total of 1,624,053 Covid vaccines have been administered in the region, latest figures show.
In the Republic, HSE chief executive Paul Reid provided an update on vaccine distribution on Sunday, as online updates remain unavailable due to a cyberattack on the health service.
He also indicated that people aged in their 40s will not receive Covid vaccines from AstraZeneca or Janssen.
Mr Reid told Newstalk radio on Sunday that close to 300,000 vaccine doses had been administered this week, as the rollout ramps up week-on-week.
“By the end of today, we’ll be approximately 300,000 – close to 300,000 vaccines administered this week,” Mr Reid said.
“And in total, we don’t have the GP data [but] judging by what we have dispatched and the great work by GPs, in total today we’ve probably well over 2.4 million vaccines completed, well over 1.7 million dose ones, which would be about over 45 per cent of the population.”
Around 290,000 doses were administered last week, with one million in total expected to be delivered in May.
All those aged 45 and older in the Republic are now eligible to register online for their vaccine appointment.

Top with freshly grated parmesan.
Cat Harrold ENJOY!
(fresh garden veggies make the difference)!!
- 2 pounds tilapia fillets, finely diced* see Cook’s Note
- 1 cup lime juice (about 8 large limes)
- 1/2 cup seeded chopped tomato
- 1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely diced
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup clam-tomato juice (recommended: Clamato), optional
- 1 tablespoon bottled hot sauce (recommended: Huichol), optional
- 1 serrano chile, optional
- Grilled Tostadas, recipe follows, or 6 purchased tostadas
- Mayonnaise, for spreading
- 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Put the tilapia in a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the fish and mix gently to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until the fish is white throughout, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove from the refrigerator and drain off the lime juice, gently squeezing the fish with your hands. Discard the lime juice. Add the tomato, cucumber, onion, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the clam-tomato juice and the hot sauce and chile, if using.
Spread the tostadas generously with mayonnaise and top with the ceviche. Arrange the avocado slices on top of the ceviche and serve immediately with the lime wedges alongside.
The fish is easiest to dice when it is partially frozen; this also makes for a much cleaner presentation. Use a very sharp knife.
- 6 corn tortillas
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Put the tortillas on the grill or grill pan, and let them dry out until they are crunchy. Purchased tostadas can be substituted.

Jose Altuve must like hitting leadoff.
After being given the job full-time this season, Houston's second baseman bunted twice, singling once as Houston scored five runs in the first two innings. Altuve talked to the media afterwards about wanting to bunt more this season.
Altuve plans to bunt more this season and believes increase in walks will occur over time. Trying to be more disciplined at plate. #Astros— Brian T. Smith (@ChronAstros) March 21, 2013
Last season, Altuve worked on taking more walks. While he improved on his rookie season in that regard, he still was not a walk machine. I'm sure the Astros want him to get on base more and have stressed that to him, but being able to bunt for base hits seems like a nice compromise.
Though it ended in a flyout, another Altuve bat showed how dangerous Houston could be with a good hitter in that top spot. Atluve's flyout in the third put another run on the board for the Astros and was a nice piece of hitting, from what the radio guys said.
After Altuve, the story of the game was Carlos Pena's bat waking up, as he crushed a home run in the first and then followed up with another RBI single later to give him three RBIs for the game. That raised Pena's meaningless spring average to .306.
Altuve also stole his first base of the spring before Pena hit his home run. Tyler Greene added his third steal. Other offensive players of note include J.D. Martinez, who went 2 for 4 with a run scored and a caught stealing and Brandon Barnes, who was 1 for 2 with a double.
Alex White got the start and pitched well enough at first. The right-hander breezed through his first two innings before giving up a home run to Collin Cowgill in the top of the third. He retired the side in order in the top of the fourth, but gave up a third run on Brian Bixler's triple in the top of the fifth.
White allowed seven hits and three runs while walking one and striking out three in 4 1/3 innings of work.
Left-hander Kevin Chapman took the loss, giving up five hits and four runs in 2/3 of an inning. He also struck out one, but gave up three consecutive hits to erase a 5-3 Astros lead. Chapman's meaningless spring ERA is now 12.60 and he lost for the first time this spring.
