Beach Cowboy Brian Kelley on Florida, Music & Loving Life
By Jordan Staggs | Interview by Lisa Marie Burwell | Photography by Ben Christensen
While some of us spent our “quarantined” months of 2020 learning a new skill, baking sourdough, taking up yoga, or binge-watching our favorites on Netflix, America’s number one beach cowboy, Brian Kelley, was happily at work on his debut solo album, Sunshine State of Mind. A seventeen-track instant Americana-country classic, the collection was released in late June 2021 and has been on repeat for fans across the globe. In fact, they have streamed the album online over 24 million times in its first two months post-release. Its summer anthems include the hit single “Beach Cowboy,” “Boat Names,” “Highway on the Water,” and fourteen more all-new tracks birthed directly from the heart and soul of the artist.
Putting pen to paper on the songs that officially sealed his nickname as the Beach Cowboy, Kelley says, was the moment that kicked off the entire project. Touring with the “Georgia” half of the Diamond-selling duo Florida Georgia Line, Tyler Hubbard, had been put on hold in spring of 2020. They had also just wrapped on recording their fifth album, Life Rolls On, and were taking some time off to celebrate. With the pandemic rendering travel mostly impossible, it created the pocket of time that Kelley never anticipated having to work on something of his own. He and his wife, Tribe Kelley fashion CEO Brittney Marie Kelley, traveled back and forth last year between their Florida digs along Scenic Highway 30-A and their Nashville home but spent the majority of their time by the beach, where inspiration seems to come naturally for them both.
BK, as his fans and friends call him, grew up on the East Coast in Ormond Beach, Florida, just north of Daytona, but was no stranger to the Gulf Coast he now calls home. “We grew up vacationing in the Panhandle every summer,” he recalls. “My dad was a distributor for Hawaiian Tropic back in the day, and he came all the way down to Panama City for his accounts. He would work half a day and meet up with me, my mom, and my sister at the beach or the pool for the second half of the day—a half-work, half-vacation situation.”
Brittney, too, grew up vacationing on the sugar-white sands of the Gulf with her grandmother, who often took her to the quaint fishing town of Apalachicola for getaways. When she and BK began vacationing in the 30-A area around 2013, they fell in love with the unique string of coastal communities there—and with each other. “It holds such a special meaning for us,” says BK. “It’s really a beautiful place. Florida, all the different parts of it, are so beautiful, from the Panhandle through the middle of the state, all the way down to Tampa, Naples, and the Everglades. I love all the history of the East Coast and I love going down to the Keys. It’s just such an amazing state with so much to offer.”
With their Tribe Kelley Surf Post lifestyle boutique located in Grayton Beach and a passion for watching the waves roll in as often as possible, the Kelleys have curated a well-lived life for themselves in the Florida Panhandle. “I’m a Florida boy, tried and true,” BK says, “so it was always a goal of mine to make enough money at some point after chasing some dreams to buy some dirt, live in Florida, and make it home base.” He is also a partner in Oyster City Brewing Company, a popular brewery with headquarters in Apalachicola.
It seems only natural that BK’s first album should be an homage to the Sunshine State and, of course, to his partner in life and love, Brittney Marie. “I had taken some time off last year to do some soul searching and was keeping myself busy and getting my arm back in shape,” BK recalls of late spring and early summer 2020. “Me and Brittney were just hanging out, fishing a lot. I was working on my mental health—getting up early, journaling, walking the dogs, and honestly trying to figure out what the next steps in this part of my life were going to be. I was taking it day by day with the pandemic, hoping someone would call and say, ‘Hey, this is a joke, we’re actually going to do concerts now!’ but that never happened. So I circled back to really finding myself, falling in love with music and songwriting and my artistry again.”
“Boat Names,” BK says, was the first song written for what would become Sunshine State of Mind. “Every song was less than a year old at the point of the album’s release, and they’re all sharing a certain season or chapter of life,” he shares. “The day I wrote ‘Boat Names,’ I think it was kind of the anchor and the guiding light toward what was to come for this whole project.”
As the hit single “Beach Cowboy” attests, this album was also about having fun for BK, doing what he loves, and being authentically and unapologetically himself. Although it contains ballads and love songs, the album doesn’t take itself too seriously and is perfect for streaming during a day at the beach or on the boat. His voice, which many fans have said they underestimated when listening to FGL’s music, is at once energizing and soothing, right up there with any of the country music greats.
“I wrote a couple of songs in Franklin, Tennessee, when me and Britt were there early in September last year, but the majority of the songs were written on 30-A or in Key West, at Jimmy Buffett’s studio,” BK says. “We were down there fishing, writing, and recording. Out of those seventeen songs, other than about two or three titles, all of the songs and titles were my ideas. I don’t say that to boast, just to share that I learned a lot doing this solo record. I kind of figured out the formula that worked for me. Titles would come to me, and I would write them down, journal about them, mess with them, write some ideas—anything that would come to mind about how I might write that song. Then I would just save it and pinpoint in my mind who in my little circle of writers I wanted to write it with.”
While not new to the songwriting game, BK says that once he achieved success as an artist, it became more challenging to cut songs for other artists to record. When writing for someone else, he says, “You wonder, ‘Would so and so say this?’ or you think, ‘I don’t think they’d say this,’ and so when it came time to write for myself, it felt like the easiest thing in the world. I could say something exactly the way I would usually say it because it’s my music. I just found a lot of joy, freedom, and new layers of songwriting and creativity that I’ve never experienced before; it’s like a whole new world.”
It takes a village, of course, and BK says he attributes the album’s success to all his collaborators and cowriters. “They really dove headfirst into the BK world with me, and we were just living these songs out,” he shares.
His favorite track, he insists, is the one that started it all.
“I would say ‘Boat Names’ is my favorite,” BK says, recalling again the day he wrote it. “It was the day before my birthday, and my publisher hit me up. I remember thinking, ‘Do I really want to write on the day before my birthday? I could be at the beach,’ or whatever. I had to sort of slap myself and remember that if I wanted this album to happen, if I wanted songs that I could sing that mean something to me, then I had to show up and be a part of writing them. So I went and made it happen, and we made a great song that day. Parker Welling Nohe and Casey Brown are great songwriters, and our worlds kind of collided when we wrote that song. It’s about Brittney, it’s a love song—but it’s an everyday man’s kind of love song or prayer, saying ‘Hey baby, I love you so much I’m gonna put your name on the back of a boat someday.’ I’m kind of a hopeless romantic, and I just think that’s the coolest thing. I spend a lot of time in Apalachicola, and they’ve got really cool boat names over there, just these neat old boats named after women. I think that a boat’s name says a lot about a person and tells a lot of stories. I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have that song; it’s a reminder to me to keep showing up and keep trying.”
That reminder is one he recommends for everyone, whether they are a struggling musician, an artist, an athlete, or anyone else with a dream about what they want to do.
“If you feel like you’ve got a dream or vision inside your heart, your soul, your mind, and things are churning, you’ve got to go for it,” BK implores.
“I know that’s not easy. Sometimes it seems like the hardest thing to do, but you’ve just got to go for it. Get past those moments of fear or anxiety and use them as motivation. I often think about this one scary thought—how different my world, or our world (me and Tyler both) and everyone touring with me, would be if I didn’t take a chance and move to Nashville.” Perhaps he’d be playing pro baseball, as he played at Florida State University before moving to Nashville to join the team at Belmont University, where he met Hubbard. “It’s those visions right there; we wouldn’t be having this conversation, probably. Maybe I would’ve ended up there somehow, but it’s all about following your gut.”
He continues, “There’s some anxiety among us as creatives, you know, about whether we will keep making great songs or having great ideas. We want to keep showing up and bringing our A-game, and I’ve learned that I just have to trust myself, trust the process, and go with the flow.”
A strong advocate of practicing self-care, meditation, and good mental health habits such as exercise, journaling, and being in nature, BK also believes that being at peace internally invites good vibes from the universe if you’re open to seeing and receiving them.
“There are little signs,” he explains. “It takes an army and a group of people sometimes to believe in you and make something happen, but it starts with you. If you can’t walk through a door that’s been opened for you, nobody else will. You’ve got to be able to see an opportunity or one synchronicity. I’m a big believer that if you dream of being something and you have little synchronicities in your life that keep coming up, maybe that’s the universe, or that’s God asking, ‘Hey, how bad do you want it? I’m teeing one up for you right here.’ And that’s what I’ve tried to see and accept in my career. I’m following my gut. Life isn’t always sunshine and butterflies; there’s a lot of grit and a lot of hustle and hard work that comes with it.”
Certainly, BK and Hubbard are no strangers to the grind. With both front-men also working on solo and side projects, other business opportunities, and spending time with their families, it can be challenging. It’s also rewarding.
“FGL is doing our thing, and I can’t wait to see what’s coming up for us with just a new chapter for the band, too,” BK says. “Over the years of our fan base growing and us getting to know them, we hear stories from people in meet-and-greet lines who meet each other there and begin lifelong friendships because of it. I think that energy and that vibe and positivity, those frequencies from all the people showing up at our shows, it’s all unreal. There are moments of our shows that feel like a worship service, the energy is just so contagious, and it’s so uplifting.”
That loyal fan base extends into Tribe Kelley, the ethical, American-made fashion brand of which Brittney is the founder and CEO. Its robust e-commerce platform and boutique located in Grayton Beach, Florida, have seen significant success and growth over the past few years, and BK couldn’t be prouder of his wife, he says. “She’s on fire with Tribe Kelley, and I’m thankful to be along for the journey of that one. Brittney’s got such a clear-cut vision of where she wants to go with that brand. I’m so happy to be alongside her and see her be a boss and just keep evolving and growing.”
This year, BK’s musical endeavors have also included launching his record label, Nashville South, in partnership with Warner Music Nashville. (He and Hubbard launched their record label Round Here Records in 2019.) In addition to music and Tribe Kelley, BK has his hands full with projects and partnerships such as Oyster City Brewing Company, Old Camp Whiskey, FGL House restaurant and bar in Downtown Nashville, Meet + Greet event venue, Tree Vibez Music publishing company, and a new casual eatery in the works on 30-A. It’s enough to overwhelm anyone, but BK says he’s excited about what the future holds and will keep teamwork and family in the foreground of all projects.
“We’ve got a great team for FGL, and all our people at Round Here Records are just great,” he says. “Even being part of the team at Oyster City, everyone there is absolutely crushing it and on fire. I attribute a lot of my success not only to my own chillness and taking care of myself but also just having an amazing team. I am doing what I know is going to allow me to stay clear-headed and focused, trying to stay mentally and physically healthy and just being happy.”
For the beach cowboy whose happiness is “Made by the Water,” that means stand-up paddleboarding, cruising along Scenic 30-A on a fat tire bike, spending quality time with his wife and pups, and, of course, creating music. We can’t wait to see what’s coming in the next wave of BK’s career.

After the 2008 election, Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and, of course, the presidency. They used that victory to push through an agenda as radical as any seen in this country since FDR—unprecedented deficit-financed stimulus spending, more regulations, a new health-care entitlement, etc.
In 2010, the Democrats lost control of the House of Representatives and seven Senate seats in a startling reversal of fortune. But instead of rethinking their agenda, Democrats in Washington have doubled down, marching in lock-step toward ever bigger government.
Well, the states are now starting to change the playing field. The latest shock to the Democratic agenda is Indiana's adoption of a right-to-work law that bans contracts that require private-sector employees to pay union dues. And there are many more such changes on the state level to follow.
Most high-school civics students would agree that no American worker should either be prohibited from joining a union or required to join one as a condition of employment. And no union member—or anyone else for that matter—should be required to contribute to political causes they oppose. Yet in 27 states, if more than 50% of workers agree to create a union shop, workers are still required to join the union and pay dues even if those dues are used for political causes they disapprove of.
As of Feb. 1, the day Gov. Mitch Daniels signed the right-to-work bill into law, that's no longer the case in the Hoosier State. That's progress, and part of a growing trend at the state level. Indiana is now the 23rd state to adopt a right-to-work law. The possibility for states to pass right-to-work laws was created in section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, which amended the FDR-era pro-union Wagner Act.
But just because it was the right thing to do, don't think it was easy for Gov. Daniels to do it. Not only did every Democrat in Indiana's House and Senate vote against the bill, but five Republicans in the House and nine in the Senate also voted against it, testament to the influence of union power in Washington and state capitals across America.
Passing the right-to-work legislation isn't Gov. Daniels's first success in Indiana. On his first day in office in 2005 he removed former Democratic Gov. Evan Bayh's executive order allowing collective bargaining for state employees. As a result, over the next six years the number of Indiana state employees paying union dues fell to fewer than 1,500 from more than 16,000. He also signed school voucher legislation increasing parents' choice for their children's education. And to top it all off, his approval ratings remain high.
The last state to pass right-to-work legislation was Oklahoma a decade ago, where a referendum led to the law's enactment in 2001. New Hampshire came close to passing a right-to-work law after the House and Senate approved the legislation in 2011, but a veto by Democratic Gov. John Lynch killed it. Although term limits do not exist in New Hampshire, Gov. Lynch will not seek re-election in 2012, making a push for right-to-work legislation once again likely.
The benefits to states having right-to-work legislation are overwhelming. As demonstrated by a number of economists, most notably Ohio State's Richard Vedder and Harvard's Robert Barro, the economies in states with right-to-work laws grow significantly faster than those in forced-union states. They also have higher employment growth, attract more residents, and have more rapid growth in state and local tax revenues than forced-union states.
But right-to-work laws are only one example of states taking on the Democratic agenda and public-sector unions. Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri are all preparing legislation to eliminate their state's progressive personal income-tax codes. Last year Ohio repealed its state estate tax, and the issues in Wisconsin surrounding Gov. Scott Walker's battle with state workers over budget constraints and collective bargaining are legend.
Gov. Walker is not alone. Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam has signed legislation ending public-school teachers' collective-bargaining rights, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has removed collective-bargaining rights on issues such as state-employee contributions to pension and health-care plans.
Meanwhile, Democrats, for better or worse, have staked their future on tight partnership with the unions. Unfortunately for them, not only is union membership a fraction of what it once was, but half of all union members today are public-sector employees—teachers, nurses, police officers, firemen, prison guards. In 1983, when President Reagan fired the air-traffic controllers for walking out on their jobs, two-thirds of all union members were in the private sector.
Not only is union membership declining, but in some of the most ardent pro-union states, such as California, the unfunded liabilities of public-employee retirement plans are pushing those states toward financial collapse and intolerably high tax rates.
The message from the states—and especially from Indiana—is that allying oneself too closely with unions is a losing strategy. President Obama and his Democratic allies should take note: They've hitched their fortunes to a falling star.

Discussion in 'Gun Project Questions & Gunsmithing' started by gsg5pk, May 12, 2016.
No anti seize for me.
Aint that the truth LOL
I like this stuff
OK! You guys put me to work doing a little research .I didn't find the consistent answers I wanted to hear on the internet so I called the boy's at Bat Machine,Since I shoot their action.Upon my beer memory they used anti-seize in the past but now recommend a synthetic grease for all uses on threads and bolt's.NOW as much as I relish my hard headed belligerence,I can recognize when that wonderful property is counter productive.That's the apology you guy's are gonna get!
The G-n Moly is good stuff. I haven't used it on barrels but use it in equipment at work. The equipment is fans at a power plant that run at 400 degrees in flue gas 250+ days a year. We haven't had any issues with disassembly when using the moly. The OEM said the copper based antisieze was not as effective and they have had disassembly issues on units where it has been used.
Contributors to this thread have added to my knowledge base & for that I thank you all.
As for what product I'll use on my barrel-to-action threads going forward?
That 4 oz. of Permatex was new last year so it's first up.
Important point though is threads should not be fitted dry. It seems grease - as long as it's properly formulated for the purpose - won't cause any harm.
My son the Mechanical Engineer, had a lab in school, where they repeatedly torqued a stainless steel bolt assembly to measure resistance, with an eye toward galling. The paste (expensive) Krytox from Dupont far exceeding all the other lubricants.
You mean like this
Yea James, that's pretty much the case!
A good synthetic wheel bearing grease works. Larry
Unlike almost any other threaded connection, in the case of the barrel tenon/action joint, there is also the issue of motion of one relative to the other that can happen as a result of firing. If one consults Harold Vaughn's research, published in Rifle Accuracy Facts, it can be seen that some materials that prevent galling can be unsuitable for this application. There is a whole chapter in his book devoted to the barrel action joint. I suggest that reading it a couple of times might be beneficial. Good luck finding a copy. I find that my paperback edition has appreciated considerably since I bought it.
I used to work with lots of 300 series stainlesses and the greases designed for oxygen service, as Krytox is, were head and shoulders above everything else in preventing galling. Copper never seize was the worst performer. Nickel Never Seize was only marginally better. However, nickel never seize worked great on the 400 series bolts. Which our actions and barrels are.
All my life I have work in automotive When you have tighting specifications it is done for a reason. I would think barrel should be the same. And lube is nessary . Larry
Yes, but the reasons can be different, and the nature of the joint, the stresses placed upon it, and the performance parameters can dictate different materials. That was my point. Have you read the chapter that I referred to?
I still have my autographed book. I use synthetic wheel bearing grease. Is it the best, I don't know but I've never seized or galled a thread.
Can you post the chapter you been referring to ?
Some of us got into shooting way after the book came out .
I few years ago I had a tool that I was having galling problems with. It was some gummy stainless. It would gall almost instantly. It was a good test for grease, so I tried everything I had on hand. The only thing that prevented galling 100% was called extreme fluoro from finishline. So thats what I now use on threads.
Have you gotten around to rereading that chapter yet? Based on my reading, I want that least slick lubricant that will prevent galling with the metals that I am using. For my Viper, and 416 stainless barrels I currently use a Permatex product called Versachem anti-seize. It is a semi-synthetic grease with copper flakes and some corrosion inhibitor. In the past I have used Pro Shot Gold, and some Permatex anti-antiseize that is gray colored. I have not seen any difference between them as far as accuracy is concerned.
Boyd, I did re-read that chapter. I really dont know how relevant it is. He was torquing the barrel to extreme levels, and still seeing movement. A lube with a low coefficient of friction allows more stretch of the fastener (clamping force) for a given torque. He didnt really test any thing like that. I agree with his point though. I do try to stabilize the joint by cutting a slight taper in my tenons like we talked about. This is an area we need to do more testing on for certain. The other issue at hand is when dealing with a gally (new term?) action like a Bat I am too scared to use something like 10w-30 in fear that the action and barrel may decide to become one.
I had some problems with his reasoning in the beginning of that chapter. He attributed most of what stabilizes the joint as "axial preload" and relegates "lateral friction force" to a secondary role. To me, it seems that the whole reason that a given amount of axial preload is needed is to create sufficient friction between the barrel shoulder and the face of the action to prevent their shifting from side to side relative to each other.
If I may digress, most structural iron in buildings is assembled with high strength bolts tightened to specific torque values, that unlike the rivets that preceded them, do not take the shear forces imparted to the joint. Those forces are carried by the friction between the faces of the parts that is a function of how tight the bolts are tightened. The axial load of the fasteners creates the friction between the parts that is sufficient to prevent movement.
To me the similarity is obvious. For that reason, I wipe barrels shoulders of anti-seize with my fingertip, leaving only a thin film of oil to lubricate between barrel shoulder and action face. I want just enough lubrication to prevent galling, and no more, because I believe, that it is the friction in this area that is a major component in joint stability.
At some point, I would like to do and experiment with a pair of washers that had interlocking, v grooves running around their faces, that were lubricated, and have dry flat surfaces where they touched the action and barrel. The grooves would slide when the washers were rotated one against the other, but be prevented from shifting laterally by their interlocking V grooves. I would leave the other sides of the washers as turned, or possibly glass beaded, and dry.

China will enforce a new law that prohibits users from using false names or remain anonymous in social networks, in a move to control the proliferation of sensitive information.
China, heading towards its once-in-a-decade leadership transition, is increasingly sensitive to public criticism that has recently found its way to online forums, blogs and microblogs.
Just last May, authorities ordered Twitter’s Chinese equivalent, Weibo, to control posts from its 300 million users, following public outcries on sensitive topics such as the political turmoil and the Tiananmen incident.
The new “Methods for Governance of Internet Information Services” tightens the government’s grip on cyberspace. Apart from the “real identity” requirement for users, microblog operators such as MicroSina Corp and Tencent Holdings will require a special administrative license. The draft of the new internet law will be posted on the State Council Information Office website for public comment, Asahi Shimbun reports.

Philippines was deliberately trying to frighten people by saying that China warned a small civilian plane flown by Manila close to a Beijing-built island in the disputed South China Sea, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Tuesday, according to Reuters. Hong’s comments came a day after Philippine officials said they received two radio warnings from Chinese navy when they flew the Cessna aircraft on Jan. 7 to Philippine-occupied Thitu Island in the Spratlys for inspection.
"The Philippines' comments are just frightening words to scare people, deliberately exaggerating regional tensions with treacherous intent, and its plots will not succeed," Hong said, according to Reuters.
Hong maintained that China has authority over the Spratlys archipelago and that the Philippines illegally occupied eight islands in the region since the 1970s, including Thitu. He also said that any activity by Manila on the islands was illegal, referring to the Philippines’ plans to set up a $1 million satellite-based system on Thitu to track commercial flights over the South China Sea, after Beijing landed its first test flights earlier this month on Fiery Cross Reef in the Spratly islands, according to Reuters.
China has laid claims to almost all of South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in international trade passes each year, resulting in territorial disputes with several countries, including Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia that have overlapping claims. Beijing is also involved in a separate dispute with Japan over islands in the East China Sea.
Earlier this month, retired major general Xu Guangyu said the Chinese military was expected to use a new airport on the reef to perform test flights. Xu said the military will patrol the South China Sea using the airport, which will mainly serve civilian purposes, such as rescue work and transport of goods.
In late December 2015, Chinese defense ministry spokesperson Yang Yujun said that the military was building a second aircraft carrier, which will be a 50,000-ton ship capable of holding the military’s J-15 fighter jets. The first aircraft carrier was commissioned from a former Russian vessel in 2012.

The Grove squad are coming off the worst season their history after they picked up just five points and finished ninth in the 2011 constructors' championship.
The team, though, are determined to bounce back next campaign and they have made various personnel changes with the most noteworthy being Mike Coughlan coming in as technical director.
Coughlan says development on their new car is going well and they are optimistic it will be ready for the first test at the Jerez circuit from February 7, while an upgraded version will be on display at the final test at the Circuit de Catalunya from March 1.
"As we stand at the moment our gearbox and engine installation programme has finished and been tested on the dyno, and will run twice more before Christmas to have covered in excess of 6,000km. All of the rear suspension has been completed so we'll also run that as well," he told Williams' iGNITION magazine.
"The first chassis is completed with a second one not far behind, and we'll shortly start our FIA crash test programme, and all of those tests have been passed already in private testing.
"We now have a fully-defined car that will be used for system checks, it has a reasonable improvement in downforce and will carry all of the systems that will enable us to go to the first test and be launched. Our aim is then to have an upgraded car for the final pre-season test.
"The car is slated to be delivered to the race shop in mid-January and we'll be ready to go to the first test in early February.
"The aim is that by the end of January, all the parts that can possibly have been verified have been, and the track testing is purely a verification of that work.
"There should be enough mileage on the major parts so that if the car stops on track with a fundamental problem, it comes as a surprise. Other than that the testing will focus on improving reliability and the overall aerodynamic performance of the car."
As for their 2011 troubles, Coughlan admits the team's gambles didn't pay off.
"I don't think it's just aerodynamic, I think we made some decisions where effectively we gambled on something which would have cost us performance from a vehicle dynamics point of view, but which would have been outweighed by the aerodynamic gain," he said.
"That obviously didn't pay off - had it done so we would have looked much better this season. You've also got to take into account that the blown floor became more and more prevalent.
"We spent a lot of development time in the wind tunnel looking at how much time a blown floor might have gained us, but ultimately we couldn't blow the floor, so we could say in hindsight that time would have been better spent working on an un-blown floor.
"It's a difficult one because you don't know at the outset what the gains will be, and a lot of time is spent getting to the answer, at which point it might turn out not to have been worth the effort."

Researchers from Trend Micro warned that a Locky ransomware variant was being delivered to targeted organizations using Microsoft Windows script (WSF) files in order to download any malware payload and to make detection more difficult, as WSF files are not engine-specific, contain more than one scripting language, and are not monitored by typical endpoint security solutions, thereby increasing the chances of bypassing sandboxes and blacklisting technologies. Researchers stated the cybercriminals were targeting companies and that the files delivering Locky were compressed in ZIP archives and attached to emails with business-related subject lines.

Commonwealth leaders committed themselves to the vision of increasing intra-Commonwealth trade to US$2 Trillion by 2030, and expanding intra-Commonwealth investment. This is to be achieved through the Commonwealth Connectivity Agenda for Trade and Investment.
The Commonwealth Connectivity Agenda is a platform for countries to exchange best practices and experiences in trade and investment and undertake domestic reform. This cross-fertilization will contribute to further reducing trade frictions among members.
The Action Plan contextualises and operationalises the work of the Commonwealth Connectivity Agenda. It gives practical expression to the Agenda by translating the Declaration on the Commonwealth Connectivity Agenda for Trade and Investment made by Commonwealth Heads of Government in April 2018 into ambitions, outputs and specific activities for action.

The first volume of the Ted Scott series was an obvious retelling of the first solo Transatlantic flight by Charles A. Lindbergh in May 1927. From time to time a reference is made to how quickly the story was rushed into print. An examination of the dates is interesting.
Charles Lindbergh departed from Roosevelt Field, Long Island, New York on May 20, 1927. Some 33 1/2 hours later he landed in Paris on May 21, 1927.
His flight was not the first time an aircraft flew over the Atlantic Ocean between North America and Europe. However, the solo flight of the U.S. Air Mail pilot was an historic first and the goal of a prize. It captured the attention of the world and did much to convince many that air travel was not merely a stunt or fad but something real that they might be willing to experience. This was a milestone following the Wright Brothers’ flight by less than a quarter century. In two decades more, an aircraft would break the sound barrier.
Producing the Series
Edward Stratemeyer saw the news about Lindbergh and within a couple days he and his publisher had made plans to issue an aviation series using the new pen name for the just-published Hardy Boys mystery series. Ted Scott would prove to be more popular than the Hardy Boys for the first five years of the two series. Only by 1932 did the sales of the Hardy Boys begin to surpass the aviation stories about the “Lone Eagle.”
Stratemeyer’s outline was dated May 27, 1927, less than a week after news of the milestone achievement was spread around the world. This outline was provided to a New York Times writer and prolific Stratemeyer Syndicate ghostwriter, John W. Duffield. He lived in Hollis, New York, and it was fairly common for Stratemeyer and Duffield to meet in person or speak on the phone so not every communication is preserved as a letter or telegram.
The first story was called Over the Ocean to Paris; or, or, Ted Scott’s Daring Long Distance Flight. The initial draft of the story was completed within four weeks. Stratemeyer wrote on June 21, 1927 to describe some changes that were made to the story, including the name of the plane (Hapworth instead of St. Louis) and the starting point for the flight (San Francisco instead of San Diego). The letter noted their telephone conversations. It also referred to plot threads to be used in the next two books in the series.
It is possible that the editing was done in the Syndicate offices so Duffield could begin work on the other volumes of the series. As was traditional for the Syndicate, several books were to be issued at once in what collectors call a “breeder set.” The other two books were Rescued in the Clouds and Over the Rockies with the Air Mail.
Illustration and typesetting were also done as quickly as possible. The frontispiece and dust jacket illustration were by Walter S. Rogers. His typical illustration fee for a halftone frontispiece illustration was between $12 and $15. The typical medium was color gouache, a water-based opaque paint, on illustration board. None of the original art for the Ted Scott series has been seen.
Publishing the Series
Once copies were published, the copyright application was turned in to the Copyright Office. The date on the form was August 10, 1927 — some 82 days from the landing in Paris. This span of two months and 21 days was shorter than the typical six-month production schedule. Two copies of the book were marked as received by the Copyright Office on August 12, 1927.
On a series like the Hardy Boys, the breeder set was issued at once (May 16, 1927). For Ted Scott, the copyright dates for the next two books was Sept. 15, 1927 and Oct. 20, 1927. The sample copies were recorded two days after each date. It is likely that the three titles were all known and part of the same title proposal sheet for the series but these first three books were issued one per month from August 10 to Oct. 20, 1927.
The series would continue for 20 published volumes and one phantom title. Cumulative sales figures are not available for the entire series.
The Ted Scott stories have some repetitive elements and don’t always follow the historical developments of aviation as do some other contemporary series like the Andy Lane series by pilot Eustace L. Adams which began in 1928.
A non-Stratemeyer Syndicate series book example with its own version of the Lindbergh flight was Trail Blazers of the Skies; or, Across to Paris and Back (Barse & Hopkins, 1927), volume 1 of the Aviation series by “John Prentice Langley” (St. George Rathborne).

The Flexibility of Online Gambling
One of the biggest issues people have with transferring from land-based to
is the flexibility factor. When you are used to wagering online, you have to put some strategic planning into it.
Let’s say you want to wager on a Friday night. You may have to wait until after work to plan you departure. You may need to get babysitters. You may need to run errands before. It could be something as simple as withdrawing the necessary funds, but the time it takes to prepare has to be factored into the player’s schedule. Though a player may plan on being at the casino at 8pm, it may take two hours to get there including all the prep-time and drive-time.
The biggest draw for gambling online is that there is little to no planning involved. You can log into an online casino within a few seconds and be up and playing in a few seconds more.
The convenience of online gambling is why so many players are flocking to the online market for their gambling needs. They understand that in today’s time-pressed market, it is easier and more convenient to just use the internet rather than plan an entire gaming session at a physical location.
Or even better, people are turning to the mobile devices to play casino
games and gamble on
right from their device.
There is a problem though. Many experts are citing the issue of convenience as being a gateway to wagering too much. Going overboard is a definite concern considering how easy developers are making it for gamblers to get in on games. This is why experts are also warning that every person has to take their own financial limits into their own hands. Still, some players are having a difficult time with this and jeopardizing their financial wellbeing by going overboard. Pundits warn that though online gambling is convenient, it isn’t for everyone. People who don’t have a strong amount of willpower may want to sit the games out and play only at land-based locations.
Still, if you do have the strength to be vigilant about what you pick, then online gambling could be a perfect option for you especially if you need flexibility to wager on your own time.

On this edition of Webkinz Tips and Tricks, we’ll take a look at some easy ways to get a better score playing Jumbleberry Fields!
The trick behind getting a better score is knowing how to “score your roll”. What this means is that you need to think about the best strategy for each round and each roll to help maximize your score.
Things to remember:
- There are 9 rounds with 3 rolls for each, and 9 different places to get a score for your rolls
- Each berry is worth a different amount:
- Jumbleberry: 2 points
- Sugarberry: 2 points
- Pickleberry: 4 points
- Moonberry: 7 points
- In the spots marked for the specific berries, you will only get points for number of that type of berry in your roll
- In all other spots (the baskets and “Free Roll”) you will get a score not only for the combined berries you need, but also for the other berries in your roll
- Make sure to lock down the lids for the berries you want to keep between each roll by clicking on the jars
- Moonberries and Pickleberries are harder to roll, but are worth more points, so try to lock down them down whenever you find more than 1 in your roll
- The “Mixed Basket” (1 of each kind) and the “Basket of 5” are the hardest combinations to fill, so try to go for them as early in the game as possible
- Your best chance at getting a “Basket of 5” is with either Sugarberries or Jumbleberries, but only if you get 3 of them on the first roll
- Try to make a basket of 3 or 4 using at least Pickleberries
- Remember that a basket of 3 or 4 using Jumbleberries or Sugarberries is worth more points if you have a Pickleberry or Moonberry in your roll
- You can use the “Free Roll” option to score your roll if you miss a combination, but it can also be used for a lot more points if you roll multiple Pickleberries and Moonberries, so try to use the specific berry spots for any missed rolls
- If you have rolled a “Mixed Basket” combination and still have rolls remaining, lock down your jars, but keep rolling the last jar to see if you can get another Pickleberry or Moonberry for more points
The higher your score is after 9 rounds, the more Pickleberries or Moonberries you’ll get to fill up your jam jars. Once you fill up your jar, you can trade it for a great prize! Don’t forget though—you can also feed berries to your pet for a chance to randomly win a special food prize! And the Berry Festival is a great time to collect extra berries to help fill up your jars faster!
What’s your highest score playing Jumbleberry Fields? Do you have any tips and tricks for this game that we forgot? Let us know in the comments below!

Former Congress President and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi on January 24 distanced himself from senior party leader Digvijaya Singh’s remarks over the authenticity of surgical strikes in the aftermath of the 2019 Pulwama attack and said the army doesn’t need to provide any proof as he combated the fallout of Singh’s remarks calling them “outlying” or views held by the fringe.
This comes after Digvijaya Singh said there is no proof of the 2019 surgical strike against Pakistan, while the Centre claims to have carried out the attack. Disagreeing with Singh’s remarks, Rahul Gandhi said that those were Digvijay Singh’s personal views.
Rahul Gandhi, who is currently in Jammu for the Bharat Jodo Yatra, said that Digvijaya’s views are outlying.
“We don’t appreciate Digvijaya Singh’s personal views. His views are outlying views. We are absolutely clear that the Armed Forces do their job exceptionally well and they do not need to provide proof of that,” said Rahul Gandhi during a press conference.
Earlier during the yatra an agitated Jairam Ramesh lashed out at the media, saying all that needed to be said about Digviajaya’s comment have already been done. The questions should now be directed at the Prime Minister.
A day after Singh stirred up the hornet’s nest and the Congress distanced itself from the leader, party MP in charge of Communication, Ramesh told the media while walking for the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Jammu and Kashmir that all queries related to the surgical strike uproar have been answered by his party and the media needs to aim its questions at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Digvijaya Singh trying to put an end to the row also said: “I have got the greatest regard for the Defence forces” as the leaders marched on along with other padayatris.
Taking to Twitter, Jairam Ramesh claimed that even the UPA Government had carried out surgical strikes.
“The views expressed by senior leader Digvijaya Singh are his own and do not reflect the position of Congress. Surgical strikes were carried out before 2014 by the UPA Government. Congress has supported and will continue to support all military actions that are in the national interest,” Jairam Ramesh tweeted.

This was most excellent. I was looking for something just a tiny bit different so I like the idea of the crust on the top and bottom. I made this recipe in two 8 inch square pans. I used 1 and 1/2 cups of the oatmeal mix on the botton of each pan. Didn't use nuts because of a family allergy. Using the smaller pans I cooked it for 30 mins. This will be my go to apple crisp recipe from now on.
I took this dessert to a Bible study last night and there was hardly any left. It was so good and moist. I halved the amount of sugar in the crust and topping and used only 6 medium apples as that was all I had; it took about 40 minutes to cook and the crust was perfect. It was delicious. I served mine with homemade whipped cream. YUMMY!
If Kittencal posted it - you know you can't go wrong! Another perfect recipe! Hubby doesn't eat nuts so I have to omit them but man, oh man you never miss them! Have made this with crust on bottom and also with tossing all the crust on top! It's just amazing either way! Smells the whole house up cooking and the aroma is to die for! Thanks again Carol!!!
Thanks again Kittencal for another great recipe. I used 1/2 cup of of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and substituted the regular flour for a gluten-free flour blend to adapt this for my daughter. Everyone really enjoyed it, I will definately make this one again.
You must have been reading our minds! We were both craving apple crisp but couldn't find a recipe w/ pecans ~ then I found yours! Loved it! We made ours w/ Honey Crisp Apples, can't wait to look through some of your other creations! Thanks - Tammy & Scott
wOw! Those of you looking for the Best Apple Crisp Ever, your hunt is over! I'm throwing all my other Apple Crisp recipes away. (Sorry Mom!!!)
Kitten..... first , thank you again for your help.... this was the best apple crisp i've ever eaten. Everyone absolutely loved it,..there was none left over,.. served it hot with ice cream.
OOOOOO-MY God, kit you have the best recipes, I urge everyone to make this, it's much better than boring apple crisp, it's the best served when it comes out of the oven with tons of vanilla ice cream, okay I'm off to make another one, TRY THIS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!
This is absolutely delicious! I used Macintosh apples, half the sugar in the filling, an extra half teaspoon of cinnamon and pecans. Oh my! This dessert has such great flavor, especially for autumn.
This was a nice treat on a cold fall evening. I could have stood a little more sugar on the apples, but then again, I used Granny Smith, since the sweet/tart flavors are appealing to me. Thanks for sharing.

One of the main debates happening now in Brussels is on the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), the EU’s main tool for managing its finances. The current MFF will last until the end of 2020, but the debate around its successor has already started and the final decision on the new priorities will be the result of a long concertation among European institutions, with the direct influence of Member States and external stakeholders. In particular, the financial allocations to the EU’s external relations will frame the role and the tools that Brussels will have globally in the next decade. The current debate, however, focuses on European interests more than values, and, therefore, there is a risk that development and peacebuilding programmes could be reduced or blended with other themes, such as migration and security. The recent high-level conference on the MFF has shown how development policy is not a priority at the moment for EU decision-makers, as it was one of the last things discussed. On the contrary, security and defence were among the most discussed issues.
In practical terms, the MFF defines the ‘ceilings’ for EU expenditures (i.e. the maximum amounts that the EU can spend each year), the ‘headings’ (i.e. the policy areas) and ‘programmes’ (i.e. policy instruments) under which expenditures should occur. In the current MFF, valid from 2014 to the end of 2020, all expenditures relating to the EU’s external action fall under ‘Heading 4: Global Europe’ and they represent 6% of allocations under the Framework. The main programmes related to development and peacebuilding under this heading are the Development Cooperation Instrument, the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI), the Instrument Contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP) and the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights. Over the last five years, the IcSP has in particular become the programme from which the EU has been funding its work in support of peacebuilding, including official mediation efforts but also interventions by civil society organizations (CSOs). This instrument has come to represent a positive evolution in how the EU has come to support civil efforts to build peace as a pre-requisite for sustainable development.
The discussions currently taking place in the EU around the new MFF might have enormous implications for how it supports peacebuilding in the future, charting a course that risks undoing much of the progress achieved so far. In particular, there is a concern that peacebuilding, which is a multi-faced long-term approach to dealing with conflicts, will be compressed in favour of short-term and ad hoc crisis management instruments. This might indeed happen if development, security and peacebuilding will merge into a single policy instrument, as some analysts say. Policy-makers and stakeholders basically agree that these three issues are tied, but until now they have been addressed through separate policies. As explained by CONCORD, the European platform of development NGOs, the difference between hard security and peacebuilding should be emphasised and clarified. In addition, peacebuilding and development presently constitute a fruitful and complementary nexus, policy-wide and also in budgetary terms.
The idea of European Added Value has also emerged as an important criterion for determining what will be included in the new MFF. This should have clear implications for keeping strong support to peacebuilding in the next MFF: one of the EU’s comparative advantage mentioned by the European Parliament is in fact that it “contributes to the establishment and support of peace and stability in the EU’s neighbourhood and beyond”. To date, however, the debate has dedicated little attention to supporting civilian conflict transformation, including civil society efforts and capacity in the areas of human rights, human security and peacebuilding. Instead, the discussion on creating a dedicated instrument for building the military capacity of third countries under the new MFF has gained traction, as the European Commission has been pushing for the “defence sector” to become a priority for existing funding. For instance, the Commission launched the European Defence Fund, through which it proposes to dedicate an extra €500 million from the EU budget for research and development of the arms industry in 2019-2020.
A grass-roots campaign mobilised against these decisions, but the majority of the EU’s Member States remain in favour of a new EU Defence structure. Certainly, this possibility deserves more attention. At the same time, the EU’s main added value is as a civilian actor. A dedicated instrument to support conflict prevention and peacebuilding, with a focus on human security and civilian action and excluding any military expenditure is desirable in the next MFF.
Finally, in discussions around the MFF to date, the role of civil society is conspicuously absent. This represents a daunting challenge that the development and peacebuilding communities should address head-on in their efforts to influence the new MFF. It will be a difficult task, given the institutional nature of the decision-making process, but one that finds an ally in Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goal 16, which specifically aims at promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development. Agenda 2030 is a key document that the EU has defined as an “anchor” for its internal and external policies, and should be used to reiterate the need for dedicated funds for peacebuilding in the next decade.
The article was authored by Bernardo Monzani and Bernardo Venturi. AP presented the status of the debate around the new MFF and development aid during an event organized by CONCORD Italy on February 8, 2018, in Bologna.

DILLINER, Pa. (AP) - A 70-year-old Pennsylvania man has been jailed on charges he hid his 29-year-old son while the younger man was wanted by the state police for allegedly helping another brother escape from a county jail.
Hodge Hanlan, of Dunkard Township, faces a preliminary hearing Wednesday on two counts of hindering the apprehension of his son, Shane Hanlan.
Shane Hanlan was arrested at his father’s home last Wednesday night. Police say Hodge Hanlan told them he didn’t know where his son was earlier in the day, but they returned to find him sleeping on a couch near his father.
Shane and two siblings, 21-year-old Clinton Hanlan and 23-year-old Vanessa are charged with helping a fourth sibling, Waylon Hodge Hanlan, escape from the Greene County jail on Dec. 27.
None of the Hanlans have attorneys listed in online court records.

As our client’s wealth expands we are sometimes asked to assist in the thought process, planning and then structuring of potential charitable giving. We firstly however help our clients to understand how much of their wealth they will need to ring-fence so that they will be secure for the rest of their lives and so that they can provide where appropriate a legacy for their children and beneficiaries.
The amount that any individual wants to gift is very personal to them and can range from a few thousand pounds to something much more substantial. Through careful planning we can help those individuals structure those gifts in the most efficient way for the recipient and also for the donor.
No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.
We will work with legal and tax advisers to then assist in the structuring and timing of any potential giving as well as taking into account the level of involvement that our clients require.

Rally to restore sanity "won't change anything"
Issued on: Modified:
INTERNATIONAL PAPERS,28.10.2010: The New York Times reports on the first ever appearance of a US President on the satirical Daily Show on Comedy Central. This comes just days ahead of a "Rally to Restore Sanity" organised by the host, Jon Stewart. We look at The Guardian and The Boston Globe's analysis of the event. Also, what costumes to avoid on Hallowe'en!


McDonald’s, probably one of the firm’s most often satirised (and with good reason I think) has stuck its corporate foot in its greasy mouth once again, demanding that the term ‘McJob‘ is removed from dictionaries such as the world-famous Oxford English Dictionary because it is derogatory and inaccurate. Obviously it isn’t enough for McD’s to use its corporate muscle on business practises, on farmers round the world, on protestors and others, it now wants to exert a measure of control over language. The OED and other dictionaries incorporate some modern phrases and colloquialisms when they become common in everyday speech for a decent period of time, hence why phrases like ‘McJob’ are included or ‘switch’ also gets included not only as a description of a debit card but also a verb, since the name of the car has become the verb to describe the action, “I’ll switch that, please.”
Launching this attempt is amazingly ill-advised – for starters it now raises the profile of the phrase the a far higher level than before, which rather defeats the purpose right away (that’s like firing someone because their blog allegedly brought the company into disrepute, thus launching the story into the world media and a far vaster audience – big companies seem utterly clueless about handling their image). The second is that by showing little understanding – or even a certain level of humour – over this McDonald’s has confirmed that the popular satirical image of them held by many critics (including me) is that they are an awful, monolithic, homogenous corporate entity that strictly enforces their ideology on staff but attempts to do so on the public. I suspect most people will more than likely side with a respected and loved institution of knowledge like the OED over Mickey D’s anyday of the week, although I also suspect most folks will be bemused at the whole thing and wondering why McD’s decided to make a mountain out a molehill that most folks never thought twice about before (way to go McDonald’s PR folks, you are really good at your jobs!).
Personally I haven’t been into one of this god-awful company’s dreadful eateries since the mid 80s. Long before I turned veggie and had nothing to eat there (I believe that’s different now, but back then it wasn’t) I stopped going to this lot because during Mayfest in Glasgow in the 80s there was a play by a small indy theatre group which satirised the fast food business. No company was named or identified, it was simply a play about life as a worker in a fast food joint, but McDonald’s threatened this tiny troupe with legal action because, as the world’s most successful fast food stuff-yer-gob emporiums they argued audiences would assume it was about them. I think had it gone to court they would have been laughed out since they had no grounds (they were never identified, no company was) and also because of a little thing called freedom of speech, but the small indy theatre group didn’t have a crew of high priced lawyers like McD’s and couldn’t afford to contest it – the play was pulled before the festival. It was a shameless and despicable bit of big biz bullying and I’ve never eaten in their stores (I refuse to call them restaurants) since then and never will. What I’ve learned over the years since in newspaper reports and books like Fast Food Nation have confirmed to me that they are not a business I’d ever give my money to and this latest pathetic attempt to control image adds to that feeling. Unfortunately masses of people will happily stuff themselves and their kids with their food several times a week, so they probably aren’t too bothered about me boycotting them for the last 20 years.
