Came with a domed lens which does not allow for clear GoPro video when used under water. The case must have a flat lens for underwater video.

Homeward’s “no disruption is the best disruption” strategy is picking up steam with $50M in Series B funding to rearchitect healthcare for the 60M Americans living in rural communities by augmenting local providers rather than replacing them.
It’s the company’s second capital raise in the five months since it debuted under the leadership of former Livongo execs Amar Kendale and Jennifer Schneider, bringing its total funding to $70M.
Homeward is an in-network provider with the ambitious goal of evolving both payment models and care delivery models in rural communities hardest hit by the hospital closure crisis.
- To accomplish this, Homeward utilizes telehealth services, in-home visits and mobile clinics for physical exams, as well as cellular-based RPM technology to monitor patients in areas without broadband.
- The Series B follows shortly after a partnership with Rite Aid to send Homeward’s mobile clinics to rural locations and provide primary care services to Medicare members, referring patients to regional health systems and local specialists for complex needs.
The fresh funding will help Homeward scale its on-the-ground and virtual care teams while expanding into new markets through value-based contracts with health plans, the first of which was just announced with Priority Health out of Michigan.
- Priority’s 30k Medicare Advantage members will have access to Homeward’s full suite of services, including its physicians and mobile clinics.
Homeward is one of the first comprehensive providers to take on full risk in rural markets, and its Series B will allow it to reach these populations even faster through new partnerships. This expansion will likely be focused on only a small handful of payors, with Homeward reporting that seven health plans cover 90% of Medicare-eligible beneficiaries living in rural communities.

Bank of Canada keeps policy rate on hold
The Bank of Canada kept its policy rate on hold at 1.75 percent today, as expected. The policy statement of BoC noted that its global outlook stays intact, but further expounded on the rebound in financial market confidence and “waning recession concerns”.
The statement noted that the economic growth of Canada decelerated in the third quarter, but the remainder of its characterization noted underlying strength, especially in housing investment and “unexpectedly” in business investment spending. It added that “the Bank will be assessing the extent to which this points to renewed momentum in investment”.
Moreover, the central bank hinged future policy decisions on its assessment of “the adverse impact of trade conflicts against the sources of resilience in the Canadian economy – notably consumer spending and housing activity”.

Some people trying to derail campaign against graft: Bihar CM
Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar
on Friday said some vested interests were trying to derail the
Anna Hazare`s movement against corruption but they would not
"Attempts are being made to derail the crusade against
corruption... The movement will continue till its logical
end," he said referring to a slew of charges against eminent
lawyer Shanti Bhushan, the co-chairman of the committee for
drafting of Lokpal bill.
Kumar asked the MLAs to declare their assets annually
for probity in public life.
The MLAs should declare their assets as the law is
applicable to all public persons comprising both elected
representatives and officials and the NDA government had made
it mandatory for council of ministers, government officials
from grade I to grade III to declare their assets annually,
he said at a function held on the eve of Veer Kunwar Singh
Vijayotsava to be held tomorrow in the state.
Since the declaration of assets by ministers, government
officials and employees have been made mandatory on an annual
basis, it was for the people to report their hidden wealth and
file cases against them, he said.
Claiming that his government had introduced transparent
governance in Bihar, Kumar said it had got the Right to
Service Bill passed to fix the accountability of government
officials in the discharge of public works.
The state government had also enacted a legislation for
speedy trial of corruption cases by a special court in a
time-bound manner and confiscation of properties amassed
through illicit means.
The next general election, he claimed, would be fought
on corruption issue as people are fed up with the vice and are
keeping a close watch on the government vis-a-vis its will to
deal with it.
"I can sense the public anger against corruption and
their desire for a clean and transparent political system in
the country ... The people`s desire to rid the system of
corruption is very palpable," he said.

Mossberg makes handguns now? Yes!
Well, more accurately, Mossberg is making handguns again (more on that below).
For now, we’d like to announce their newest handgun: a semi-automatic polymer striker fired pistol called the MC1sc. Mossberg seems to have released the MC1sc right… it’s already available in 5 different models and it appears that accessories are already ready.
We had a great time shooting this gun. It would’ve been easy for us to scoff at it, but this was the biggest surprise we saw at SHOT Show 2019 – this little gun punches way above its class.
Mossberg Pistol Background
Until this new MC1SC pistol from Mossberg, their latest pistol offering was in 1932! This prior handgun, a pepperbox derringer-style handgun with 4 barrels and chambered in 22 lr, was called the Mossberg Brownie.
The $100 year old Mossberg Brownie goes for about 5 times more than the new MC1sc – we found an auction listing for this nickel-plated Brownie valued at around $2,000.
The old pepperbox isn’t really practical today. This newest Mossberg handgun, the MC1sc, almost a hundred years after the last, is a much more practical handgun and it is an exciting (and completely unexpected) move in our industry.
Although a polymer striker fired handgun isn’t exactly novel, it’s pretty cool that Mossberg went after it. Let’s see if their shift from long guns to a hand gun goes better than Remington’s attempt (hint: it was about as good as Taco Bell coming out with Hamburgers).
Mossberg MC1sc Features
Flat Trigger w/ Blade Safety
The MC1sc has an aggressive trigger design – we didn’t expect this from Mossberg. It is debatable whether a flat or curved trigger shoe is “better.” Honestly, it is a personal preference. However such a “cool” trigger design is usually available only as an aftermarket upgrade part.
"Safe Takedown System"
Mossberg is very proud of the MC1sc’s “safe” method of takedown. They explain that, although it has a similar striker design to a Glock, unlike a Glock, the trigger doesn’t need to be pulled prior to disassembly.
Unique Magazine Design
Mossberg thought outside the box with their magazine (good on them!). First, they made a clear magazine so that it is easy to see the magazine’s capacity/condition. Second, they made the magazine compatible with Glock 43 magazines! More manufacturers should consider these things.
A. Safe Takedown System ensures no trigger pull required during disassembly.
B. Mossberg signature multi-angle slide serrations for positive slide manipulation.
C. Standard snag-free dovetail white three-dot sights for easier target acquisition, windage adjustment, and after-market customization.
D. Stainless steel slide with upgraded Diamond-Like Carbon Coating.
E. 3.4″ barrel with upgraded Diamond-Like Carbon Coating.
F. Extended trigger guard for easy access.
G. Mossberg flat-profile trigger with integrated blade safety.
H. Reversible magazine release.
I. Aggressive signature Mossberg grip texturing.
J. Palm swell and grip angle provide superior ergonomics.
K. Glass-reinforced polymer frame for enhanced durability.
L. Mossberg Clear-Count™ polymer 6-round flush-fit and 7-round extended magazines offer low friction and high wear-resistance.
Mossberg MC1sc Review – Our Take
We’ll say this again…this little gun really surprised us!
Here are some of our first thoughts…
There are well-established brands the dominate this space: Glock, Smith and Wesson, Springfield, FN, Beretta, H&K, Ruger, SCCY, Kahr, etc. This means a couple things:
- The market is FLOODED with product and marketing, and
- These other established companies have a lot more experience with these products.
Of course, this isn’t to say that Mossberg can’t be successful here. In fact we hope they do. However, if Glock came out with a pump-action shotgun, they’d have an uphill battle to compete with Mossberg regardless of how well Glock can make pistols.
Second, the design doesn’t appear to be revolutionary nor innovative. However, that’s not exactly fair. Let me explain.
The MC1sc from Mossberg doesn’t offer anything fundamentally different from other similar handguns and, in fact, is a bit behind on size for capacity (see Sig’s P365).
This MC1sc is on par with and good competition as an alternative to the Glock 43. However, with Glock’s newest G43x and Sig’s P365 from last year, this configuration (size and weight for 6 rounds) leaves something to be desired.
Here’s what’s great about the Mossberg MC1sc: Mossberg takes its reputation for quality and reliable, although budget and sometimes “no-frills,” firearms and applies it to this pistol.
In our book, Mossberg firearms have never been the nicest available nor the prettiest, however they usually represent a good value and they have their eye on quality control (which is very rare these days).
The magazines are really pretty neat! We’re really proud of Mossberg here. So many companies have a proprietary size to their parts simple because they want to be different. Mossberg designed the MC1sc to accept Glock 43 magazines! (a clear nod to this pistol’s intended competition).
Also, the magazines are clear. In this day and age, I don’t know why more manufacturers don’t do this. I’m very excited to try them out and see how they work and hold-up.
The magazines do, however, feel cheap. We’re not saying that they are, but there’s something a bit weird about the clear plastic magazines by any company. We’re looking forward to seeing how well they hold up – the magazines at SHOT Show were seeing a lot of rounds and the mags were holding up great.
The striker looks very Glock-like but it takes down (disassembles) without needing to pull the trigger. This is advertised as a safety feature, and I’m sure it is, but we’re not sure it’s necessary. If you’re going to be unsafe with a gun, then you’re going to be unsafe…regardless of how the pistol was designed.

You all are going to think I’m crazy, but I really like the Mossberg MC1sc. Here are my first shots out of the gun while having some fun with a friend that I haven’t seen in years. Link to full review on GunUniversity.com (link in bio) #mossberg #mc1sc #pew #pewpew #pewpewpew #shot #shot2019 #shotshow2019 #shotshow
We have to applaud Mossberg on their ingenuity here – the back plate of the slide has a button that, once depressed, allows the plate to easily be removed followed by the striker. Then, the slide can be released and it comes straight off the frame – it is not held in place with a takedown lever/block. The slide is held on the frame by the rear plate.
The MC1sc doesn’t appear to have an external safety (other than the safety on the trigger). However, they have also released a model with a cross-bolt safety (something VERY unique for a handgun). This proved fairly practical because it was easy to ignore if not wanted. However, a grip or thumb safety is much easier and faster to disengage when needed.
The Mossberg MC1sc exceeded expectations! Check out the 5 models below.
One thing we’d like to see changed…the texturing. It’s not “bad,” however, the good stippling is on the sides (where it’s not as useful) and the front and rear (which receive the most pressure when we shoot) has horizontal lines instead of the stippling/checkering on the sides.
Also, we’re guessing that the “sc” in the MC1sc pistol’s name stands for “sub-compact” – this may mean that we can expect larger versions of the MC1 pistol from Mossberg.
Overall, this gun is a GREAT value and you can’t go wrong with it for the price.
Mossberg MC1 Pros and Cons
Low capacity for size
Not the prettiest
Little experience by manufacturer in this space
|Reliability||This little workhouse ran without a hitch!||
|Accuracy||The gun was accurate enough for us, but we didn’t shoot groups to measure.||
|Operations||This gun is very Glock-like in it’s operation. It has a unique takedown and a functional, although not intuitive, safety option.||
|Ergonomics||This gun felt great in our hands and was easy to use and takedown. Some different stippling would’ve bumped up the score.||

He didn’t sleep all night. Content creator MyBetterSelf (603k on Insta) organized the first fashion show for lingerie brand “Je ne sais quoi”. A rite of passage for all body types. 18 women of all sizes parade in front of spectators in a sunny courtyard in Paris.

Opportunity for women to say no to the measure and exceed beauty standards. Louise Aubery, “From 34 to 48!” indicates women. Nothing on Louise Aubery’s face on the morning of the event gave away her difficult night. “I’m still excited!” she confesses with a smile on her lips.
A counter fashion week
The overwhelming majority of these young women have never walked. Commenting on the parade, Marie S’infilter supports them in her own way: “bring out your tough bitch side!”. We also find creators like Amal Tahir or Louise Chabat.
Louise Aubery also parades. “There is no hierarchy between bodies. During fashion week, only one type of physique is valued and therefore taken into consideration, which creates complexes. “I want the women watching to understand that they are at least as valuable as the models at fashion week,” the entrepreneur assures.
A responsible and educational message
The designer also talks about his own story in his acceptance speech. “At the beginning of my career in the network, I was thinner than that, I was following fit girls, I found them beautiful. But when I started following other profiles, my perspective changed. As a creative brand, I need to show the diversity of bodies for everyone to see.”
It’s also a responsibility as a well-followed content creator: “Eating disorders are on the rise. 80% of young people aged 12-18 have difficulties with their image, this is linked to social networks and the fact of showing only one body type. We have a responsibility as content creators; “We have to show these bodies from everyday life,” he insists.
Louise Aubery also sent a guilt-free message to young girls: “The problem is not your body, but society and its view of the female body. When we separate ourselves from it, we become comfortable in its own skin.”
Haters dressed up
Louise Aubery also wanted to teach a lesson to the haters, who were so many, so cruel, and so anonymous… For this, the designer turned to her friend Marie S’infiltre for her transgressive and taboo-free side. The actor takes the haters’ comments into the microphone while commenting on the parade. Thereupon, citizens hung banners saying “Mind your own business”.
Marie S’infilter is as crazy as she is in her videos and show “have you ever seen girls as hot as the ones parading?” she shouts. Then it gets (somewhat) serious again. “Haters are truly the most cowardly phenomenon of the 21st century! But the initiative is positive! This is the freedom to liberate your body, the freedom to finally take responsibility for finding yourself beautiful when it comes to going against convention, breaking certain taboos, breaking down complexes. This is courage and daring and it looks like me!”, the actor assumes.
Pink October in the background
Among the young women participating in the parade is Alice Detollenaere. The actress, a former model, had to take a break from her career on the catwalk due to breast cancer. After undergoing double breast reconstruction, she became one of the sponsors of the Pink October awareness campaign.
In addition to this message of prevention, the young woman parades with another message of regret: ” For me, first of all, it is important to take back all the messages I sent in the past when I was a model. Beauty is for everyone and it’s not just about pelvis or breast size. Fashion should make women feel good “.
A new studio for more premium content
Louise Aubery, who produces videos, podcasts and books from home, says she recently invested in a new “more professional” studio. Even if he is not unhappy at home. “Gad Elmaleh still came to my couch to do the podcast!” he jokes. It was time to move up to promoting his content and focus on his second book.
Following the success of his first work, “Mirror, mirror, tell me what I’m really worth.” In it she attacks the commandments given to women and especially how to abandon them. The author is now preparing a second book on the illusion of happiness around personal growth, which “sometimes does more harm than good.” “And yes, deconstruction is really my thing! » Louise Aubery concludes with a burst of laughter.

After the Lions' victory in the first header, this second encounter scheduled today, June 8, 2021 will be a good occasion for both sides to show their worth.
The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon will today June 8, 2021 face their West African brothers the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Austria. This is within the framework of their second friendly encounter this June. The match is slated for 4 p.m. at the Weiner Neustadt Stadium, the same ground where the Lions got their revenge on the Super Eagles during the first encounter of the double-header friendly meant to make use of the June FIFA window. This first encounter ended on a 1-0 score in favour of the Lions thanks to a 36th minute strike from Fulham's midfielder, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa. Cameroon's victory last Friday ended the Super Eagles' three-game unbeaten run against the Indomitable Lions. This clearly shows the tight competitiveness of the duo whose football strength in Africa cannot be undermined. Goalkeeping sensation, Simon Omossola had a great show last Friday guarding the goalpost as a Lion would do with its cubs. With Omossola demonstrating his goalkeeping prowess, it is clear that making the goalkeeping choice for today's encounter will be tough. Fabrice Ondoa was declared injured for the first game but we were hinted that he would show up in the second game. The ball is in the court of coach Antonio Conçeicao to make the right picks for this decisive game. Would he try new players like he did in the previous encounter or clear the stage for veterans? These questions would only be answered when the line-up will be made public.
However, Conçeicao though victorious in the first game has not relented his efforts. He took the boys back to the training fields with the objective of correcting the mistakes of the last game and picking a victory again. A difficult task given that the Nigerian team currently harbours some of the best players in Europe. This is the likes of Moses Simon, Kelechi Iheanacho, Chidozie Awaziem amongst others. Cameroon could however compensate in today's game with its vibrant midfield and defensive set-up managed by the likes of Frank Zambo Anguissa, Kunde Malong, Fai Collins and Michael Ngadeu capable enough to produce fireworks. Talking during one of their preparatory sessions, Stéphane Bahoken and Kunde Malong said they were preparing today's game in good spirit and with the same motivation. The Lions were expected to have a Covid-19 test yesterday and proceed with their preparations for today's game.


The hype surrounding 3D printing has become a reality that is being felt across different fields, architecture included. This rapid expansion has come about because businesses constantly find ways to streamline their operations. By all accounts, 3D printing is a welcome disruption.
Without 3D printing, architects create models using wood or foam. This takes a huge amount of effort and takes up a lot of time. Here in the Philippines and perhaps in many other countries, this is still heavily practiced. But that’s only because their architects and companies haven’t explored 3D printing yet and how it benefits their practice.
To the increasing number of professionals and organizations that have embraced the technology, one thing is for sure: they have chosen the path to 3D printing because of its unmistakable benefits to their practice. Among them are the following:
As aforementioned, this is a clear benefit of 3D printing. As compared to traditional methods, the use of 3D printers in creating architectural scale models is way faster. Leave this job to our experienced team at 3D2Go and consider it done in a precise manner. You don’t even have to worry about cleaning and post-processing.
3D printing works autonomously that allows you to focus on other important aspects of your practice as the model is being created. If your design is intricate, our service is even more useful. At 3D2Go, we binge on complicated design elements all day.
An architectural scale model is a tangible tool that gives your potential clients a better look at your project. It is easier to impress them because you are able to present your design ideas well, no matter how complex they may be.
Sometimes, selling projects is a game of visualization especially when design features are similar. In cases like this, visual communication is king. If you intend to pitch an idea in front of colleagues, you are clearly a step ahead with 3D printing.
If your client wishes a change in the design, you can easily do so with 3D blueprint modeling. All you need to do is edit the file, present it to your colleagues, print, and show the model to your client. No matter where you stand in the entire process, you are always in control.
3D printing isn’t something you readily entrust to any provider. The danger lies in getting a scale model that is rough-looking and pixelated. At 3D2Go, we use state-of-the art equipment along with the finest materials to produce the model that will get your client’s nod.
We have successfully created 3D models of the Chimes Summit Hotel by Robinsons Land, Sto. Niño Church in Leyte, even the Empire State Building in New York. If you want to learn more about 3D prototyping here in the Philippines, contact us now!

DJ Mara & Sebastian Ledher take their remix down an alternative route, the classic house stabs and pads of the original complemented by intricate percussive rhythms. The standout package is completed by Bulgaria’s DJ Diass, the rolling hi-hats pushing the track forwards alongside a now trademark groove-laden bassline.
David Tort is one of the most influential Spanish artists in the electronic music scene thanks to his studio work and powerful DJ sets around the world. David is a regular fixture in the Miami club scene, and his dynamic style and technical ability has taken him to festivals including Tomorrowland, Summerland and Summerburst. Now adding his own label to his already formidable résumé, David continues to go from strength to strength.

Most of the chlorine in plants is present in the form of the anion, chloride. However, more than 130 natural chlorine-containing compounds have been isolated from plants (11). They may include polyacetylenes, thiophenes, iridoids, sesquiterpene lactones, pterosinoids, diterperenoids, steroids and gibberellins, maytansinoids, alkaloids, chlorinated chlorophyll, chloroindoles and amino acids, phenolics, and fatty acids. Although the functions of naturally occurring chlorine-containing compounds in plants have not received much attention in plant nutrition, the fact that these compounds often exhibit a strong biological activity suggests a need to investigate their potential importance. Some chlorine-containing compounds may behave as hormones in the plant, or they may have a function in protection against attack from other organisms.
The amount of chlorine accumulation required to prevent deficiency symptoms in most crops however, is much less than that which is typically accumulated (Table 9.2). A laboratory study (7) that determined the chlorine requirements of 11 different crop species estimated that plants require 1 lb of chlorine for each 10,000 lb of dry matter produced, or a concentration of about 0.1 g kg-1. On a land area basis, large crops may need about 2.24 kg ha-1 or more of chlorine. This estimate for plant chlorine requirement is presumed to be for biochemical functions (2). The benefits that are sometimes observed from higher concentrations of chlorine are likely due to its osmoregulatory role in plants (36).
Distribution in Plants
Most of the chlorine in plants is not incorporated into organic molecules or dry matter, but remains in solution as chloride and is loosely bound to organic molecules. Chloride concentrations expressed on a tissue-water basis may typically range from 50 to 150 mmol L-1 (4). A study (25) that determined chloride in the tissue water and the dry matter of whole corn plants at 35 days after emergence found a concentration of 66 mmol Cl L-1 (1.83 g kg-1 dry matter basis) for corn grown on soil fertilized with 200 kg Cl ha-1 applied as KCl and only 10 mmol Cl L-1 (2.5 g kg-1 dry matter basis) for corn plants grown on unamended soil. In general, chloride concentrations are higher in tissues that have high water content. Chloride concentrations are presumably highest in the rapidly expanding zones of root and shoot tissue. Pulvini and guard cells also have higher concentrations of chloride than the bulk tissue (4).
Vegetative plant tissues usually accumulate increasing concentrations of chloride with increasing supply of chloride, but plants parts can also exclude chloride (4,25,63). Corn seed may have only 0.44 to 0.64 g Cl kg-1 on a dry weight basis, and chloride accumulation in the grain is not influenced by chloride supply (45). In many crops, chloride transport from roots to shoots is restricted by a mechanism that resides in the roots (4,64,65). Soybean cultivars that exclude chloride from the shoots are more salt-tolerant than cultivars that accumulate chloride (57).
Reports on critical tissue concentrations of chloride for crops grown in the field are few in number (Table 9.2). Studies conducted in the Great Plains of the United States have examined the relationship between tissue chloride concentration and relative yield of wheat. In wheat plants at head emergence, a critical chloride concentration of 1.5 g kg-1 was given in a 1986 report (66). In a more recent and larger study (67) that was based on an assessment of 219 wheat cultivars, three zones of chloride status were identified: (i) a deficiency zone with a plant chloride concentration <1.0 g kg-1, (ii) an adequate chloride status zone with concentrations 4.0 g kg-1, (iii) and a transition, or critical range, between these two zones. A study (45) of corn grown in high-yield environments in New Jersey suggested a critical ear-leaf chloride concentration of 3.2 g kg-1, derived from a comparatively small database.
Chlorine Concentrations in Crops
A review (4) of chlorine nutrition tabulated the concentrations of chloride in a wide variety of crops. The compilation of data in Table 9.2 shows that concentrations of chloride classified as deficient, normal, or toxic vary widely among plant species.

South Africa v Wales: Dan Lydiate hopes to feel buzz of victory again in Cape Town
|Venue: DHL Stadium, Cape Town Date: Saturday, 16 July Kick-off: 16:05 BST|
|Coverage: Live radio commentary on BBC Radio Wales Extra – available via BBC Sounds, 882 MW and BBC Sport Online, Radio Cymru plus live text and match report on the BBC Sport website|
If anybody can capture the agony and ecstasy of international rugby, it is Wales flanker Dan Lydiate.
Seeing the Ospreys back row return to the international stage this summer and chopping down South African giants with his trademark tackling technique has been a sight to behold.
Lydiate’s return road has been long. He had battled back to the international stage by being picked in the Six Nations against Ireland in February 2021.
But that comeback was ruined as he suffered a serious knee injury early in the game which would rule him out for a year.
Yet at 34, Lydiate again fought his way back onto the international stage for the trip to South Africa.
It is a tour made for him, and he made a telling impression on the second Test with 18 tackles.
His contribution helped set up victory – and brought back a feeling that Lydiate says he last experienced 10 years ago.
That was when he helped Wales to the 2012 Grand Slam with victory over France and was named Six Nations player of the tournament.
“There has been 10 years since but it just shows you how far apart those massive highs you can get in rugby [can be],” said Lydiate.
“It is something you always cherish. If you could bottle that feeling and sell it you would not have to work again.
“It is hard to put into words until you are in that moment. It is not just that moment in time, it’s what you have worked for as a kid, with all those sessions you have done that nobody has seen.
“It’s every ounce of your being that you have put into your career and an instant reward as that final whistle goes.
“I guess it is like a drug, although I have never done drugs before.
“You can’t compare it to anything else. I am passionate about farming but it’s completely different.
“The only other thing you get that much emotion out of is family with your kids and your wife and things like that.
“It is difficult to compare, apples and pears, but in the same breath it’s all intertwined because they sacrifice a lot for what you do as well.”
Lydiate has seen the highs and lows and shared that with fellow Ospreys players George North and Dewi Lake after the trio spent a lot of time in the self-styled ‘rehab club’.
They have all contributed for Wales in the two Tests in South Africa. Lake scored a try in the first, while North will become Wales most-capped back in his 105th international for his country in Cape Town this weekend.
A matter of months ago they were rehabilitating together from long-term injuries.
“It was nice on the weekend because we made sure we had a picture after the game because there were times when we were on crutches going into work in the mornings,” said Lydiate.
“It was a good vibe because we pushed each other, especially in the gym where we are all a similar strength, so there was a bit of competition.
“We worked hard during those times when we were injured but enjoyed each other’s company, which was perhaps more important to keep each other going.
“Having banter and fun along the way is half the battle because a knee injury is a long process.
“It can get boring and tedious because you have to do the same thing every day to build things back up.
“Dewi was the first out of our trio to get back on the field and was called up to the Six Nations. That spurred us on to try and get back for Ospreys and here we are now.
“It’s been a tough road, I am not going to sugar coat it. It is not just the boys, it’s the medical and strength and conditioning staff at Ospreys.
“They deserve massive credit because they are a big part of getting us back to where we are now.
“You have to be a special type of person to do that role because when the boys are feeling a bit low, they need to bring the energy as well.
“We all have our off days so that’s when we needed each other.”
No pain, no gain
Lydiate admits the Tests in Pretoria and Bloemfontein have taken their toll.
“It does hurt, I am not going to lie,” said Lydiate.
“That is what I have been picked for for years, to try and be physical. It does take it out of you but if that’s what you are picked to do, that’s what I have to do.
“It’s all worth it. I have been sore for a few days after that Test last weekend but if we had lost, I would have been a lot more sore.”
Lydiate will put himself through the pain barrier again in order to try and become part of an historic series-winning side in South Africa with victory in the third Test in Cape Town.
“I am probably going to have to go a lot harder again this weekend because they will be seething after that loss,” he added.
“They have got a lot of pressure with it being in their own backyard so it will be tougher again.”
You sense Lydiate would not have it any other way.

It is important to determine the thickness of magnetic steel in motor? Why? Today, the supplier of motor magnet will tell you how important it is.
We all know that the magnetic field of the motor is mainly generated by the magnetic steel of the motor (Arc magnet, Multi-pole magnetic ring). The working magnetic flux generated by the magnetic steel is more lager,the total number of armature conductors of the rotor can be reduced accordingly. This is very beneficial to the motor.
Motor magnetic tile
On the one hand, the armature resistance of the motor can be reduced accordingly, In this way, the copper loss of the motor can be reduced accordingly too, and the efficiency is correspondingly increased.
On the other hand, the total number of conductors required for the rotor of motor is correspondingly reduced, the slot slow rate of the motor is correspondingly reduced, this make it easy to wire the motor rotor. If the magnetic flux of the motor is increased under the premise of the same magnetic steel, the volume of the magnetic steel is increased. The volume of the magnetic steel is determined by the thickness and length of the magnetic steel. The length of the magnetic steel is determined by the length of the rotor. So the main thing is to determine the thickness of the magnetic steel. When the thickness of the magnetic arc is thin, the magnetic steel is easily demagnetized and the processability is not good. When the thickness of the magnetic arc is thick, the magnetic properties of the motor cannot be greatly improved. Instead, it consumed more material of magnetic steel, and the cost is greatly improved. Therefore, the thickness of magnetic steel must be determined.
The above is about the article ” It is very important to determine the thickness of magnetic steel in the motor”, If you have requests for motor magnetic steel, welcome to contact us.

GPS dog collar usa: Just like when you bring home a baby, there are a few things you need to keep handy before your pooch arrives home like the Puppy Crate, Dog Beds, Kennels, Food & Water Bowls, Toys, Chews, Stain Removers and Deodorizers Shampoo, Brush and Comb, and Toothbrush/Paste, ID Tags and Dog Collars, Chains etc.
Dog owners want to keep their four-legged best friends safe. That is why they train them to stay in their yard, keep them on leashes when going for a walk, and take them to the vet regularly for checkups and care. But, let us be honest. Even the most loving dog owners have lost their pet at one point of time and experienced nearly unbearable fear and anxiety. Indeed, one of the worst feelings in the world is not knowing where your dog is or if he is safe after he escapes from your yard or gets loose when visiting family and friends. Thanks to today’s advanced technology, dog owners can keep their dogs even safer by purchasing a GPS Dog collar (or dog tracker). Now, you will be able to locate your dogs and bring them home much more quickly.

Owners can set up a safe zone through an E-fence while using the iOS app. Alarm sound if the pet enters a danger zone. Tracker emits colorful lights, and users can customize a voice speaker to sound.
•TKStar Anti-Lost GPS Pet Tracker
TKStar GPS pet tracking device that uses cellular and GPS networks to track a dog wearing the device on its collar. It sends information directly to a dedicated application on the owner’s phone.
Features: GPS tracking provides accurate location, shown through Google Maps on the phone app. Users can also set Geo-fencing and track history of locations for up to 180 days
Any GPS powered trackers will incur or cost a monthly fee to power their location services. A lot of these GPS trackers will also work over WiFi networks as well, so the average device-wearing pet will not need a large amount of cellular data use. If there is adequate cellular service in a given area, GPS trackers can provide a high rate of accuracy and real-time location.
With GPS pet trackers, one will be able to view the history of a pet’s every move. You also can monitor the pet’s health, physical activity goals, and even pet temperature through a mobile application or via an online browser. This information can be made available to multiple family members, friends, and dog walkers.
At the end of the day, the purpose of the tracker is to keep your pet safe. Smart collars and dog pedometers are a pretty new technology. When you’re shopping for these devices, make sure you try to choose the latest models so that any bugs or kinks may have gotten wrong. Smart collars and devices for our dogs can help us get a peek into their world when we are at work and give us the peace of mind on road trips, hiking trips, and hunts. Pick one up and find out what you’ll learn about your dog.

Yes, I mention him everywhere and on a regular basis on my blog, he is really my idol of these days. Tortu is undoubtedly on of the most famous florists of XXth century in France, even in the world.
I just want to share some quaotations of this book “Sensational Bouquets” (“Au-delà des fleurs“, name of the French version) :
“A flower wilts, a life begins.
A flower can also be beautiful once it loses its petals.
It’s beautiful because it’s without pomp and artifice.
It is beautiful because it doesn’t suggest an end of a life, but the beginning of another one…
Beauty is a matter of seeing.”
“A bouquet is like a reflection of the soul. It takes shape through a natural act.
It announces the weather, reflects the mood of the moment, and expresses joy ans sorrow.
But the same bouquet will never be made from the same flowers.
It all depends on the hour, moment, place, and time.
A bouquet can do without motifs. It needs nothing more than what it already has.”
“Extreme simplicity is the peak of sophistication.
Whether round, square, angled or spindly, the bouquet has to reveal emotion, balance, and grace.
If it doesn’t, it is nothing. Without a soul, it doesn’t exist.”

This lovely Night of Navy and Seaside Spray card began with an extra lighthouse stamped in Sea Spray ink. I had the Beautiful Layers dies sitting on my desk next to it and saw the lovely geometric-like accents, which I added to a Night of Navy Stitched Rectangle.
|Once in awhile, it's nice to have a card with no sentiment! You can always add one when you are ready to give the card.
Next I added the pearl accents. A rope seemed appropriate, cut using the Smooth Sailing Dies. I added it to a Night of Navy Stitched Rectangle. My Denim Ribbon knot is between layers, the bottom layer being Subtle textured piece of Seaside Spray card stock.
Thanks for visiting today. I hope you are inspired to create!

Now that we’ve made it through Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there’s nothing left to do but admit it: Holiday season is officially here.
Over the next month, expect to see the streets, parks and even ships of Vancouver come alive with millions of multicoloured lights in celebration of the season. Here are the top five holiday light displays around town:
Festival of Lights at VanDusen Botanical Garden: Every year, the stately botanical garden in the heart of Vancouver is decorated with thousands of strings of coloured lights. The centrepiece is a “dancing lights” display over Livingstone Lake, a choreographed light dance set to seasonal music that illuminates every half hour. Also on hand are roving elves and food vendors serving holiday treats. Dec. 7 – Jan. 1, 4:30 p.m. – 9 p.m. Closed Christmas. Adult $14.25; Senior and Youth $10.50; Child $7.75.
Canyon Lights at Capilano Suspension Bridge: The iconic, 137-metre suspension bridge is decked out with lights every December – forming a glittering string of pearls over the Capilano River. Walk across and step into an enchanted rainforest, bedazzled with hundreds of thousands of lights. There’s also a scavenger hunt, gingerbread cookie decorating, glass blowing demos and sing-along carols. Dec. 1 – Jan. 5, 4 p.m. – 9 p.m. Closed Christmas. Adult $31.95; Child $12; $65 per family (2 adults and 2 kids).
Bright Nights Train at Stanley Park: Vancouver’s 1,000-acre Stanley Park is decorated with two million twinkling lights every December as part of Bright Nights. Hop on the miniature train and chug through a dazzling display of lights hung in the pristine coastal rainforest. Then grab a warm cocoa and some roasted nuts and listen to holiday classics in the plaza. Nov. 29 – Jan. 1, 3 p.m. – 10 p.m. (11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays). Afternoon matinees Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Closed Christmas. Adult $10; Child and Senior $7; Matinee train $5.50.
Lights of Hope at St. Paul’s Hospital: Every year, the facade of the downtown hospital is covered with 10 kilometres of lights – enough to stretch the length of the seawall. The display is some six stories high and includes nearly 200 rainbow-coloured stars. Built by volunteers using donated materials, Lights of Hope aims to inspire the community to donate to the hospital. Nov. 15 – Jan. 7. Free.
Carol Ships Parade of Lights: Throughout the month of December, more than 50 brightly decorated boats will troll the waters around Vancouver on nightly excursions, carrying more than 30,000 people. The route of the floating parade varies nightly, ranging from the Inner Harbour, Outer Harbour and False Creek to as far as West Vancouver, Port Moody and Deep Cove. Different cruise ship companies offer varying types of excursions, which usually include caroling, dancing and holiday dinners. Dec. 1 – Dec. 23.

The smart aquarium devices can be utilized to increase stability of the tank, reduce the amount of time spent in regular maintenance or all three.
The AWES system guards your floors against water damage and protects the aquarium from changes in salinity by using its liquid level sensor as well as pc software and apps for smartphones. The AWES system can automate many other aquarium aspects.
Technology is changing the way aquariums are designed and constructed. Aquarium technology, from smart lighting to automatic monitoring systems, helps aquarium owners maintain their tanks in good health.
Monitors of water quality are among the top aquarium technologies. They monitor important water parameters like pH, temperature, and oxygen dissolved. These devices can detect abnormalities and send you an alert when they are detected.
light source for LED aquariums is a popular option. LED lighting systems are energy-efficient and has programmable options such as night and day setting. These lighting systems can help to improve the health and color of your fish and corals. They require less power than traditional metal halide lighting. Modern LED lighting systems come in a wide range of colors.
Automated Feeding Systems
They automatically feed a certain amount on a preset timetable. They fit into the 2.8L tanks that are used to raise killifish (Aquaneering). These feeders make use of two holes built into the lid of the tank for feeding.
Automated feeding systems must be used in conjunction with continuous monitoring to be sure that the fish follow their preprogrammed schedules and the system functions properly. An untrained farmer may to chase the feeder, shutting it off only to return to feeding one day or not enough another.
They stay in the power saving mode until they’re fed. After that, the noncentral feeders rotate the acrylic disc, between the food hopper and a photoresistor and LED array and then back to the drop location, to verify that 5 mg of food has been taken. (Figure 1 and figure Supplement 1A). The resistance of the photoresistor is measured by an onboard stepper motor and it is reported as a confirmation of a feeding event.
Smart Monitoring Systems
To properly care for many aquariums, complex equipment is required. Aquarists are able to monitor and manage their devices using a smartphone. This reduces the amount of time that is spent testing waters, monitoring lighting and even feeding fish.
Monitors and controllers are the two main types of intelligent aquarium equipment. Monitors are devices that track a parameter such as pH, temperature or turbidity. While a controller does not simply monitor it, but also manage equipment based upon that information.
The temperature control is an illustration. It will automatically turn off the heating system if temperatures get too hot. A programmable doser can deliver Fertilizers on schedules you specify along with Trace Elements as well as Balling Salts. There are also devices which keep track of tank levels and evaporation and notify you via apps for your smartphone or computer application.
WiFi-Enabled Aquarium Controls
If you are the owner of your own fish tank or saltwater terrarium there are numerous things that need to be monitored. Temperature of water lighting intensity, water temperature, the pump’s function, etc. are only a handful aspects that have to be monitored.
Using an aquarium controller is the most effective option to automate these monitoring. A safety feature can be programmed to shut off the lighting if the temperature reaches unsafe thresholds.
An intelligent aquarium system built on IoT will monitor all of these parameters. It can be tracked from anywhere with a mobile application. It will reduce the time and effort for maintaining a healthy and happy aquarium and help prevent fish deaths that are not expected. A good aquarium controller can allow you to immediately expand as your aquarium grows by offering a variety of equipment and modules.
Automated Water Change Systems
Water changes are an essential component of keeping fish in a aquarium. They replenish vital minerals, eliminate waste and toxins, maintain water temperatures and salt levels as well as ensure that your tank remains at a proper temperature. A smart water change system will automate the process of siphoning and replacing tank water in order to reduce time, energy, and strain on your aqua life!
They are usually made comprising a controller and tubing, which connects your aquarium to the reservoir, and also an intermittency pump. The be ca nuoc man water flow can be controlled by connecting the tubing to the valve.
It is the Neptune Apex DOS is an perfect choice for an automatic tank water changing system since it can be used as a Reef Controller and offers many additional options, including an aquarium water level sensor, a sump water level sensor, a float switch for the reservoir and many more!


The Internet hasn’t made Frank Gregory rich.
But it has improved his travel schedule. He gets to sleep in his own bed more often, especially in the busy weeks before Christmas.
Gregory and his wife Claudette Ouimet run Livewire Puzzles out of their Edmonton home. Gregory, a forensics expert with the RCMP by day, handcrafts the intricate wire puzzles with jigs in his basement workshop. Prices start at $10.
“We used to do 11 craft shows a year across Western Canada,” says Gregory. “We now do two. The rest of the sales are from the website.”
And sales, the bulk of which come from the U.S., are up this year. October orders were four times what they were in 2001. Gregory is hoping for a banner Christmas season.
Ipsos-Reid, a marketing research company, recently released a study predicting online holiday sales in Canada will top $1.1 billion for 2002. Online shoppers are most likely to purchase books, CDs, toys or games.
But there are a few online retailers who wonder where all that money is going to go.
Despite selling online for five years, egolf.ca makes more than 90 per cent of its revenue from a retail store in north Edmonton.
“Like lots of people, we jumped on the Internet bandwagon. We thought it was going to take off,” says manager Gord Hayward. “It didn’t turn out that way.”
To keep costs down, Hayward and his store staff do all the updates to the website, including scanning photos of the clubs, bags, balls and clothes, as part of the daily routine. They also pack and ship online sales, which go mostly to Canadian addresses.
“I think the online business will expand over time,” says Hayward. “It’s a small part of our business now, but every little bit helps the bottom line.”
Unlike Americans, who are used to mail-order shopping, Canadians have always liked the personal experience of going to a store.
“Your average 55-year-old executive is not going online to buy. That’s not their typical buying pattern,” says Carolyn Guichon, who teaches marketing at the University of Calgary and owns a retail business.
She says most online shoppers are young people, including teenagers, who have grown up with the technology. But they aren’t typically the types who spend a lot of money at Christmas.
“I think there is a future for online shopping. We’re just a long way from it now.”
While Canadian Tire, Sears and The Bay have stuck with their online business, other retailers such as Sport Chek and Holt Renfrew have abandoned it because costs far outweighed returns. Guichon says the online businesses that have succeeded often already have a mail-order catalogue and shipping system in place.
“The Internet is just another way to promote a business or product. It’s not a new business paradigm,” says Guichon, who owns Riley and McCormick, a chain of three western clothing stores in Calgary.
Riley and McCormick launched its online shopping site realcowboys.com in 1998.
“The web is still just a fraction of our business,” says Guichon, who ships items around the world. “We get a lot more orders from the paper catalog than the web.”
BearSt.com has been around since 1995, which makes the company about 52 in Internet years, jokes Juanita Tavares, who co-owns the Calgary-based online retailer of cuddly Gund animals.
“Every year there are certainly fluctuations in sales,” says Tavares, who gives online shoppers a choice of up to 400 new and discontinued stuffed creatures. “We take it as it comes.”
Most of BearSt.com’s business goes to the U.S. and overseas. In fact, it sells more animals to Australians than Canadians.
While the Canadian dollar makes U.S. and overseas sales attractive because of the price, there are charges for duty and shipping. More customer interaction is required to explain it all. Plus, there are challenges confirming credit cards from remote parts of the world.
“Retailers also aren’t prepared for the return rate. For every 10 orders, you can get three back,” says Guichon. For Tavares, Canada Post’s new shipping regulations are eating into the bottom line. Instead of basing shipping costs strictly on weight, the new system, introduced in October, factors in the size. That hurts when what you’re shipping is lightweight but big, such as a cuddly teddy.
And the web can bring its own heartaches, too. Last year, Gregory’s puzzles.ca received an order from the U.S. for 2,000 puzzles. But the buyer needed them delivered before Christmas – only two weeks away.
“It was hard saying no to $20,000, but I just couldn’t do it,” says Gregory. “This is a labour of love. But I won’t do things at the expense of my sanity.”

When the cornea of the eye dissolves, most commonly secondary to infection or trauma, the ventral wall of the anterior chamber of the eye is no longer supported and thus bulges forward, enlarging the anterior chamber volume. This is referred to as a corneal melt, and it has a unique CT appearance that has not been previously described.

Some albums are considered sacred — legendary releases so widely revered by listeners that for another band to cover the tracks would be akin to blasphemy.
The Black Jacket Symphony’s mission is to provide an accurate, live rendition of some of these iconic albums and the Birmingham-based band has performed the entirety of classics ranging from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” to The Beatles’ “Abbey Road,” all the while boasting precision. Many seasoned music lovers would scoff at their claim. Numerous bands have performed entire albums but added their own touch. Black Jacket Symphony is not that kind of band, and its recent performance of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” at The Hangout’s Oyster Cook-Off & Craft Beer Festival Weekend was truly amazing, especially considering the respect Pink Floyd fans have for the work.
Those in attendance might as well have been listening to the studio recording. As the band made its way onto the stage, the heartbeats that bring listeners into the album began. They were soon joined by a vocalist lacing the various monologues on death that open the album, climaxing with the initial swell of “Breathe.”
Within the first few minutes of its set, Black Jacket Symphony had proven it has the talent to duplicate this album with the utmost precision. Their vocalist for “The Great Gig in the Sky” delivered all the power and emotion that was laid down on the studio tracks, and Black Jacket Symphony’s keyboardist filled the set with all the old-school effects Pink Floyd scattered throughout the album.
After their performance of “Dark Side of the Moon,” the band did a Pink Floyd greatest hits set that was just as appealing. They opened with “In the Flesh” and closed with “Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2),” which featured a children’s choir singing the iconic lyrics.
With the exception of a few sound issues that were out of the band’s control, Black Jacket Symphony’s claim of precision was totally justified by the evening’s performance. If they can take on the music of Pink Floyd with that much skill and accuracy, future audiences have much to look forward to.

First Published 6-15-09
Last week while checking various news sites, because there is nothing wrong with being informed (And no MSNBC was not one of those sites, I said I wanted to be informed, not brainwashed), I came across an article that made my blood boil so hot, I had to slander it. That’s what people do when they don’t like something, right? They make fun of it. However, simply mocking the ideas presented in this page I felt weren’t enough. I just had to ridicule the idea behind it, and expose it as the further declination of Average Joe American’s worth. And I thought people were worthless before…
The original article’s text can be found here
It is titled “For the ‘funemployed,’ unemployment is welcome”
Look out everyone, there’s a new buzzword in town. That would be “funemployment,” or the idea that because you were too worthless and or stupid to keep your job, you are somehow entitled to blow off responsibility. The article talks about how people, unemployed by the recent recession, are worrying less and less about finding a job and earning money, and spend more and more time doing leisure activities. They claim to be “taking advantage of their forced time off,” but the truth of the matter is, they are living their dream of not doing shit. The article states: “Buoyed by severance, savings, unemployment checks or their parents, the funemployed do not spend their days poring over job listings.”
You quit your fucking job, or more likely got fired from it for being a smug, spoiled bitch, and instead of being responsible, useful, and otherwise un-ragingly douche baggish, you leech off of the government, or even your fucking parents, rewarding your vapid laziness and lack of job skills by going to the beach, masturbating frequently, travelling, or just being a fuck and bragging about how you weren’t good enough to keep your job on Twitter. What the fuck is the big deal with Twitter? Why the hell would any random person be interested in you “tweeting” a play-to-play about your stupid life? Your life isn’t so interesting as that I absolutely have to know when you plan on going to the mall to pay absurd prices for ugly clothing at stores like American Eagle, so shut the fuck up. Even the word “Twitter” is stupid. It sounds like an onomatopoeia for jacking off. The internet has empowered absolutely everyone who doesn’t deserve to be empowered, and the fact that you are reading this only proves me right.
Back to how god-awful the concept of “funemployment” is, it just defies a common moral sense of self duty, apparently not so common anymore. The article expounds on the concept of it as the younger generation’s way of “thumbing their nose” at Corporate America. How mature. Pop Punk music and Rage Against the Machine (worst band ever) taught you to hate “Big Business Fascists,” and your way of sticking it to the man is to have him stick it to you. Have you ever stopped to consider that all of this New Age empowerment bullshit is nothing but an extreme (and extremely stupid) way of compensating for your inherent worthlessness? What’s the matter; did your place of business not award you enough “Effort” awards? For those of you who don’t know, an “Effort” Award is something rewarded to someone too worthless to actually accomplish anything so they won’t feel worthless and continues working. No it isn’t an evil of Corporate America;
It’s an unfortunate necessity these days, because people feel they need to be motivated to do what they should be doing in the first place. Or maybe your parents were stupid hippies in the 60s, and their “carefree (read: irresponsible)” lifestyle prevented them from learning about real life and passing it on to you. Here is an actual “tweet” from a jobless prick who obviously didn’t get enough “Effort” Awards or morale from his hippie parents, reveling in his irresponsibility: “Averaging 3 rounds of golf a week plus hockey and bball. who needs work?”
Who needs work?
How about people who aren’t self-centered burdens to society? How about people who want to feed their kids? How about people who don’t have 99 weeks of unemployment benefits and parents to mooch off of? How do you pay rent without your job? How the fuck do you pay to keep your internet connection so you can keep socially masturbating yourself and others via Twitter in the first place? I swear if I find out a single one of my tax dollars is going to some chud that lost his job and began to play golf instead of trying to provide for himself, I’m going to find him and beat the shit out of him. My money is paying for his welfare check, so I think I’m entitled to it.
Here’s another wonderful quote that every American should be embarrassed about:
“You figure out how much . . . you miss when maybe you’re tied to your BlackBerry all the time or, in my case, traveling for work all the time. I can’t imagine doing that again and sacrificing everything I want to do for me. . . . I think it is a new way of thinking.”
A new way of thinking… A new way of thinking what? Unemployment is a new way of thinking? I hope you still feel that way when you live in a ramshackle ghetto, or in your parent’s basement because sudden you realized that not working is the way life should be. Unless “everything you want to do for you” involved prostitution to pay your bills, sleeping in/eating out of a trash can, and walking everywhere you go, I really don’t see how you aren’t sacrificing everything you wanted to do for you. Designer clothing, Spring Break in Mexico, and being a general selfish burden tends to cost money. Unemployment checks are meant to carry over the needy BETWEEN jobs. It’s not a form of retirement pay for those who can’t keep a job enough to earn a real retirement check.
Audacity Alert: “Recession gives people permission to be unemployed,” said David Logan, a professor at USC’s Marshall School of Business.
Permission to be unemployed? How can you even justify something like that? How the fuck can you sit there, a well-educated and well-paid college professor, and say that people have “permission” to be lazy? What kind of professor are you? What the hell do you teach, “Philosophy 101?” If you aren’t good enough to keep your job, you get good enough, or you flip burgers your entire life. There is no acceptable other option there. No one wants to coddle to the lowest common denominator, especially if that person is at the lowest rung of the latter because they choose to be. Who wants to take care of someone up to their neck in “the country’s cultural narcissism — and attitudes of entitlement and self-centeredness.” That’s exactly what the problem is. People these days are self-centered, lazy, and narcissistic. How did a plague like this mindset spread in the first place? I’ll tell you why, it’s because shitty parents raise shitty kids, and almost the entire generation responsible for raising today’s up-and-comings are all burnout hippies who were too big of pussies to correct their children when they were wrong. Whatever happened to beating your kids? I bet if half the parents that refused to hit their children when they acted out actually disciplined their little shits, they wouldn’t have grown up to be huge shitsack burdens to society. The term “funemployment” wouldn’t exist, my general anger levels wouldn’t be hovering around “Blind Fury,” and who knows, maybe some of them would have been good enough to keep their fucking jobs.
If you read the linked LA Times article and weren’t ashamed of your species, or were happy that Mexicans are no longer the only ones acceptably unemployed, or if you are offended by my racial comparison, then you too are a mark of shame on your species. I have a bit of advice for all of you: Go die in the wilderness.
