Much has been said about the many custom guns of gun guy favorite John Wick. Throughout the film series, he uses an impressive variety of handguns. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th films all feature a ton of Taran Tactical Innovations firearms, and each film delivers us a new custom handgun. Lots has been said about the handguns, but what about John Wick’s shotguns? Yeah, no one talks much about those, but as the resident shotgun nerd, I want to do a deep dive.
John Wick 1 – KelTec KSG
The first John Wick hardly feels like a John Wick film. They’ve grown exceptionally in budget and vision. While he carried a custom HK P30, every other gun was fairly standard. Near the end, he gets his hands on a KelTec KSG. Like many of John’s guns, he liberates it from an enemy. His model is featured with a hand-saving vertical grip and an EOTech optic.
The KSG is a dual-tube pump action shotgun. It’s capable of holding 14 rounds of 12 gauge, and it certainly seems to be an advantage to Mr. Wick as he fights around vehicles. Striking firearms are a big feature of these films, and the KSG has enough space gun vibes to stand out in the relatively modest first film.
John Wick 2 – Benelli M4
Described as ‘something bold, John Wick carries a Benelli M4 in the second film. During his escape from the catacombs, we see a 3-gun-inspired scene where John switches his guns around to incorporate a handgun, rifle, and shotgun. The Benelli M4 is arguably the king of combat shotguns and has a proper place in the film. This was when Taran Tactical began outfitting Wick’s weapons, and M4 has the TTI package.
This gas-operated semi-auto shotgun gets a brilliant display of effectiveness throughout the film. One of the highlights is when Wick faces armored baddies and blasts their unarmored legs out from under them before delivering the coup de grace. Wick is constantly reloading the gun, famously using a match save to finish a pinned bad guy down. He certainly makes use of the gun’s more than-capable action.
John Wick 3 – Benelli M2
In the third film, John and Charon resist a siege by the High Table’s armed goons. As the situation evolves, he gets to meet heavily armored bad guys that can’t be stopped. He returns to the armory with Charon, and they grab Benelli shotguns. Charon takes the M4, and Wick takes the M2 alongside some armor-busting slugs. We suspend disbelief for armor-piercing shotguns here. Like the M4, the M2 gets the TTI treatment.
The M2 is an inertia-operated semi-auto shotgun, and John uses it to turn heads into mush. Along the way, we see constant and competent quad loads and plenty of 3-gun gear. The M2 was and remains a great shotgun, but it felt like a bit of a step back and excuse to use a different TTI gun than the M4.
John Wick 4- Genesis Arms Gen 12
The latest John Wick film had our titular hero cutting his way through an Army of assassins. One group preferred the Genesis Gen 12 shotguns. These are AR-based, semi-auto 12 gauge shotguns that use a short recoil principle to function. They are mag fed and of extremely high quality. They’ve received the TTI treatment and are the TTI Model Dracarys guns in the film. These are certainly different, and what makes them stand out is the use of Dragon’s Breath rounds.
John Wick has great gun handling, but we have to suspend disbelief. Mainly because the Dragon’s Breath rounds are shown to be effective man stoppers. To be completely fair, John’s suit is bulletproof, but it seems like an incendiary round would be more effective than just buckshot against it. I’ve only fired DB rounds once, and they don’t cycle in semi-autos either….but movie magic is, well…magic.
I love shotguns and also perk up a bit when Wick gets his hands on one. The films do a great job of letting John and his guns be the stars of the show. Typically when a new gun is introduced, it gets some serious screen time, even to earn an Academy nod for best supporting actor. Every scene with these shotguns present is memorable, and for scattergun nerds like me, they truly stand out.

PARIS / PRAGUE / LONDON / WASHINGTON / ZAGREB / BERLIN / HAVANA / MEXICO CITY – British drugmaker GSK said on Tuesday its antibody-based COVID-19 therapy with US partner Vir Biotechnology is effective against all mutations of the new Omicron coronavirus variant, citing new data from early-stage studies.
The data, yet to be published in a peer-reviewed medical journal, shows that the companies' treatment, sotrovimab, is effective against all 37 identified mutations to date in the spike protein, GSK said in a statement.
Last week, another pre-clinical data showed that the drug had worked against key mutations of the Omicron variant. Sotrovimab is designed to latch on to the spike protein on the surface of the coronavirus, but Omicron has been found to have an unusually high number of mutations on that protein.
"These pre-clinical data demonstrate the potential for our monoclonal antibody to be effective against the latest variant, Omicron, plus all other variants of concern defined to date by the WHO," GSK Chief Scientific Officer Hal Barron said.
GSK and Vir have been engineering so-called pseudoviruses that feature major coronavirus mutations across all suspicious variants that have emerged so far, and have run lab tests on their vulnerability to sotrovimab treatment.

Britain's health minister said on Monday there is now community transmission of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus across regions of England but it is too early to say if this will "knock us off our road to recovery".
Defending the introduction of stricter rules to slow the spread of the virus, Sajid Javid told parliament the government was "leaving nothing to chance" while scientists assessed the variant, which was first reported in South Africa last month.
Javid said there are now 261 Omicron cases in England, 71 in Scotland and four in Wales – a total of 336.
"This includes cases with no links to international travel, so we can conclude there is now community transmission across multiple regions of England," Javid said.
The number of hotel rooms available for international quarantine will be doubled this week and the government is "ramping up this capacity as quickly as possible", Javid said.
Javid said that at this stage the government cannot "say for certain" whether or not Omicron will escape COVID-19 vaccines, or if it causes a more severe illness.

Croatia confirmed two cases of Omicron infection on Monday, but the source of the new COVID-19 strain remained to be identified.
Both patients were interviewed in order to identify the source of the infection. However, the source was still unknown as the two patients did not travel outside of Croatia. They most likely got infected at one business meeting, said epidemiologist Bernard Kaic at a press conference.
There were foreigners among the participants and so it is possible that one of them was the source, Kaic said, adding that 13 participants of the meeting had already been tested.

Cuban health authorities on Monday began the massive application of booster vaccine doses against COVID-19 for Havana residents with the home-grown Abdala vaccine.
During the first phase of the campaign, people living in four out of the city's 15 municipalities will be offered booster shots.
According to the Cuban Ministry of Public Health, those who have been infected with the virus or vaccinated against COVID-19 within the past six months are not eligible for the booster shots at the moment.
So far, nearly 90 percent of people from Havana, home to 2.2 million residents, have been fully jabbed with Soberana-02, Abdala, and Soberana Plus COVID-19 vaccines.

The Czech government will order COVID-19 vaccinations for people working in hospitals and nursing homes as well as police officers, soldiers and some other professions and all citizens aged 60 and older, Health Minister Adam Vojtech said on Monday.
"Other countries are taking this path," Vojtech said. "It is a trend that will prevail across Europe."
Speaking to reporters through a video link, as he is in isolation after testing positive for the virus, Vojtech said his ministry would issue a decree adding the COVID-19 shot to other compulsory vaccinations this week, confirming earlier media reports.
Those who refuse would be barred from working in the selected professions, he said.
The order should take effect from March but may have a short lifespan, at least in its current form, because a new centre-right government which may take power as soon as next week has protested against compulsory vaccinations based on age.
Only 59.6 percent of Czechs are vaccinated, compared to an EU average of 66.4 percent, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).

European Union health ministers will discuss the coronavirus pandemic and the spread of the Omicron variant on Tuesday, but are not expected to make any decision on easing travel restrictions, three sources told Reuters.
Bloomberg News, citing one diplomat familiar with the matter, reported on Monday that EU health ministers at a meeting on Tuesday may agree on the need for a PCR test for vaccinated third-country nationals from that region, which could allow some travel bans to be eased or lifted within a week.
The travel ban "was meant always as a time-limited measure", one senior EU official told Reuters, adding however that there was no plan at the moment to lift it. "We are not yet working in that direction."
Another two EU sources familiar with the work of health ministers said no decision on travel bans was expected at Tuesday's meeting.
Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe are the southern African countries that have been targeted.

Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin has come under heavy media criticism after enjoying a night on the town knowing she had been exposed to the coronavirus.
Marin, 36, is being called out for a lapse of judgment after she failed to return home from the bar on Saturday night upon learning Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto had tested positive for COVID-19. The two had been in close proximity just a day earlier.
Marin, who is fully vaccinated, said she had not received instructions to isolate, prompting critics to counter that such instructions shouldn’t have to be given to a person in charge of efforts to combat the virus and that he behavior sets an example to the population on how to behave. Marin has since tested negative twice.
The prime minister broke no official rules on isolation, as Finnish authorities do not routinely quarantine fully vaccinated individuals, even though they can still transmit COVID-19.

France will close nightclubs ahead of Christmas and tighten social distancing measures in response to the emergent Omicron variant of the coronavirus but there is no need for new lockdowns or curfews, Prime Minister Jean Castex said on Monday.
Castex said a fifth wave of the pandemic was now surging through the country. But he said that with 52 million people now vaccinated – nearly 90 percent of those eligible – the situation is better than in previous outbreaks and there is no need for drastic measures to save Christmas.
Health Minister Olivier Veran said the combination of vaccination booster shots and more rigorous social distancing would allow France to avoid renewed lockdowns currently being imposed in several European countries.
"We want to get through this wave of the pandemic without new constraints on the whole of the French population, whether they are vaccinated or not," he said.
From Friday, nightclubs will be shut for four weeks and the government also called on citizens to voluntarily limit private and professional gatherings, while tightening requirements for mask-wearing in schools.

From Dec 15 children aged five to 11 who are overweight or who have a serious health condition will be offered access to vaccination. Children over the age of 12 can already be inoculated.
Veran said France would get its first deliveries of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines for children from Dec 13 and that he hoped vaccinations would be available to all children from Dec 20.
There are about six million children aged five to 11 in France, and 350,000 in that age bracket who are overweight or who have serious health conditions.
Veran also said France had identified 25 positive cases of the Omicron variant – 21 imported by people returning from southern Africa and the rest the result of local infection.
He said the infection rate had started to slow down, while remaining high. On Monday, the seven-day moving average of new cases was up by 44 percent compared to a week earlier, down from week-on-week increases over 80 percent seen two weeks ago.

After a slow start to Germany's COVID-19 booster jab campaign, vaccination rates are creeping up again, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) for infectious diseases and the Ministry of Health (BMG) said on Monday.
By Sunday, 13.9 million people in Germany, or 16.7 percent of the population, had already received a booster shot, according to official figures.
This past weekend alone, 940,000 people were vaccinated, "more over a weekend than ever before," acting Minister of Health Jens Spahn said on Twitter.
This means that more than one in four of the 55 million adults already vaccinated had received the recommended booster for increased protection.
At least 57.4 million people in Germany, or 69 percent of the population, have already been administered the second COVID-19 shot, the authorities said.

Mexico City officials will begin offering a third COVID-19 vaccine dose to residents over the age of 60 on Tuesday, officials said, part of a government plan to roll out booster shots.
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said last week the third doses would be made available as soon as possible, beginning with elderly people who are more vulnerable to the coronavirus.
The first booster shots in the massive capital of nearly 10 million people will be AstraZeneca doses given to residents of the southern Tlalpan neighborhood, officials told a news conference on Monday.
To be eligible, people must have had an initial two doses six months ago.
The health ministry on Monday reported 110 more deaths from COVID-19 and 752 new cases, bringing the death toll since the pandemic began to 295,312 and total infections to 3,902,015.
Two people recently returned from South Africa were diagnosed with Russia’s first cases of the omicron variant, the country’s health watchdog said in a statement Monday.
All citizens arriving from southern Africa will be quarantined in a special observatory, where they’ll face daily PCR testing, the agency said.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday advised Americans against travel to France, Jordan, Portugal, and Tanzania, citing COVID-19 concerns.
The CDC now lists 83 destinations at "Level 4: Very High" classification and also on Monday added Andorra, Cyprus and Liechtenstein to the highest travel advisory level.
The United States imposed new rules, effective Monday, requiring international air travelers arriving in the United States to obtain a negative COVID-19 test within one day of travel.
Meanwhile, New York City declared on Monday that all private-sector employers must implement COVID-19 vaccine mandates for their workers, as the highly transmissible Omicron variant has spread to at least one-third of US states.
The biggest US city set a Dec 27 deadline for all 184,000 businesses within its limits to make their employees show proof that they have been vaccinated.
In addition, children 5 to 11 years old must get at least one vaccine dose by Dec 14 to enter restaurants and to participate in extracurricular school activities, such as sports, band, orchestra and dance, Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
The requirements come at a time when new coronavirus infections are accelerating nationwide, especially in northern states, as colder weather has encouraged more mingling and socializing indoors.

A major British study into mixing COVID-19 vaccines has found that people had a better immune response when they received a first dose of AstraZeneca or Pfizer-BioNTech shots followed by Moderna nine weeks later, according to the results on Monday.
"We found a really good immune response across the board…, in fact, higher than the threshold set by Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine two doses," Matthew Snape, the Oxford professor behind the trial dubbed Com-COV2, told Reuters.
The findings supporting flexible dosing will offer some hope to poor and middle income countries which may need to combine different brands between first and second shots if supplies run low or become unstable.
"I think the data from this study will be especially interesting and valuable to low- and middle-income countries where they're still rolling out the first two doses of vaccines," Snape said.
If the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine is followed by a Moderna or Novavax shot, higher antibodies and T-cell responses were induced versus two doses of AstraZeneca-Oxford, according to researchers at the University of Oxford.

The study of 1,070 volunteers also found that a dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine followed by a Moderna shot was better than two doses of the standard Pfizer-BioNTech course.
Pfizer-BioNTech followed by Novavax induced higher antibodies than the two-dose Oxford-AstraZeneca schedule, although this schedule induced lower antibody and T-cell responses than the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech schedule.
No safety concerns were raised, according to the Oxford University study published in the Lancet medical journal.
Blood samples from participants were tested against the Wild-Type, Beta and Delta variants, researchers of the Com-COV2 study said, adding that vaccines' efficacy against the variants had waned, but this was consistent across mixed courses.
The results may inform new approaches to immunization against other diseases, he said.

Italy's New-Old Government
Chiara Oldani, University of Viterbo and G7 Research Group
December 21, 2016
Paolo Gentiloni is the new prime minister of a new-old Italian government. In fact, all but a very few ministers have been confirmed in their offices. Maria Elena Boschi, the former minister for constitutional reform is secretary of the government, while Angelino Alfano moves from internal to foreign affairs.
Other than Matteo Renzi, who left, only Stefania Giannini, formerly the minister of education, has been replaced, mostly because her party lost power in Parliament (Mario Monti's party Scelta civica). The appointment of Valeria Fedeli (Partito Democratico, and vice-president of the Senate) as the new minister of education has been heavily criticized since she does not hold even a high school degree.
Gentiloni joined the European prime ministers meeting on December 15 in Brussels, and declared that his new-old government would have the same priorities of the former: migration, social policies and growth.
The week before Christmas has brought an unpleasant gift to Gentiloni, since the oldest European bank, and the fourth largest Italian bank, Monte dei Paschi di Siena, was unable to raise the needed €5 billion. In the absence of adequate capitalization, the European Central Bank would not oppose to a public takeover of the bank, which would unfortunately negatively affect the results of the Italian budget law. On December 21, Parliament approved a €20 billion rescue fund to bail out the bank.
After Christmas, Gentiloni will manage changing the electoral law, as requested by the majority in Parliament and the Five Stars Movement, and the reconstruction of the area in central Italy hit by the recent earthquakes.

Kalonzo faces loss of multi-million property after Uhuru's tough order
Kalonzo in more trouble
President Kenyatta issued the directive yesterday while on a tour at the NYS headquarters along Thika Road.
While as the Head of State's directive appeared apolitical, it is likely to adversely affect the Wiper Leader as he has been accused of illegally acquiring a 4500-acre farm in Yatta from the NYS.
Musyoka was allocated the initial 4000 acres during President Daniel arap Moi's regime where he served as a powerful Cabinet Minister.
In November 2016, Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua went on record at the Senate's Public Accounts and Investments Committee and accused Musyoka of irregularly taking over a further 500 acres.
Mutua told the Senate that Wiper Party Leader had used his position as Vice President in the Grand Coalition government to allocate himself more land that belonged to the NYS and was adjacent to Musyoka's Yatta farm.
The NASA deputy leader did not issue a formal response before the senate but defended himself through the media, stating that he had bought the land from the NYS.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to write to the National Lands Commission to make his directive official.
"Land previously owned by NYS will be returned to the institution for active programmed that will help the youth in employment. The State will put all resources at its disposal to ensure that NYS succeeds in this," Kenyatta stated on Thursday.

In his Nov. 22 guest column on the Congress Blog, former FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell defends the current “retransmission consent” system as indicative of a healthy free marketplace. All signs point to “consumers winning big – if Washington plays it smart” and doesn’t change the retransmission consent rules, Mr. McDowell declares.
It’s ironic that a free-market champion like the former Commissioner is such a fierce defender of a broadcast carriage system nurtured by government regulation. As analyst Adam Thierer of the Mercatus Center has written: “When it comes to television programming, many layers of red tape still encumber this sector and prevent a truly free market in video programming from developing.”
Other layers of regulatory red tape favorable to broadcasters serve to hold together the so-called “free marketplace” of retransmission consent.
First, the “must buy” provision of the 1992 cable law requires cable operators to carry all broadcast signals on the most widely distributed tier of cable service and requires cable customers to buy that tier of service to access any other programming. To put it another way: A government-mandated requirement forces cable subscribers to purchase “free” over-the-air broadcast signals, even if they don’t want them. Are any two words less indicative of a free market than “must buy”?
Second, existing law prevents a cable operator from pulling a TV station during “sweeps” periods – four individual months when key audience measurements are taken to establish broadcasters’ advertising rates. Although cable operators are prohibited from pulling broadcast signals during periods of time financially important to broadcasters, broadcasters are free to pull their signals from cable at any moment and without notice to consumers. In fact, broadcasters depend on pulling their signals at times important to consumers, such as the Academy Awards or the World Series, in order to extract higher pay-TV carriage fees.
In a truly free market, a cable operator would be allowed to negotiate a carriage deal with any TV station. But under the FCC’s territorial exclusivity rules, stations affiliated with ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX in one market are shielded from competition by brethren affiliates from another market.
These network programming non-duplication rules use government resources to enforce private contracts that yield local monopolies for TV stations, with serious anti-consumer consequences. If a pay-TV provider in Kansas City wants to carry the Chicago CBS station, the Kansas City CBS station can block that action knowing the FCC has its back. Not surprisingly, TV station blackouts are at record highs because FCC rules deny pay-TV providers out-of-market alternatives, even on an interim basis. In a true free market, no agency would be charged with enforcing such lopsided rules.
Troubled by the status quo, some reform-minded lawmakers see potential solutions to the broken retransmission consent system. For example, under the Next Generation Television Marketplace Act, drafted by Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), reams of media regulations would disappear, clearing the path for a true free market. There are many other possible solutions – from both parties – that would help address our outdated video rules, including Rep. Anna Eshoo’s (D-Calif.) Video CHOICE Act.
Ultimately, one thing is clear: Today’s tilted playing field has led to a record number of TV blackouts and skyrocketing retrans fees. And consumers will continue to lose until we see new video rules that reflect the 21st century marketplace.

Hunter Valentine is from Toronto, Canada, and having been featured as the regular cast on season three of Showtime's "The Real L Word" series, Hunter Valentine's fame meter has ...
Since there were four bands listed, the show started exactly at 8pm and everyone ran on a tight schedule. Fuzzy Machete opened up, you can read (and hear) more about it, including full setlist, on W♥M152.
DEVIL BLUES BAND
Setlist: "Aurora", "See Me Go", "Requiem", "Kodachrome", "A Maraca", "Will I Survive", "Stilettos", "Find that Hooker", "Devil's Blues", and "Don't Belong."
Setlist included most of Slap On The Wrist EP and some odds and ends: "Bullet", "Mr California", "Let It Fall", "Oh No", "Mess", "Resilient Me", and "Undressed." I think they replaced one of the middle songs with something else.
Hunter Valentine came on pretty late to a room full of mostly women couples. It's obvious to me that the newfound audience was from Showtime's "The Real L Word" - and possibly because last night was also "National Coming Out Day."
Half their set was from 2010's Lessons From The Late Night ("Treadmills of Love", "Scarface", "The Stalker", and "Revenge") and the other half from the upcoming Collide and Conquer album ("Lonely Crusade", "Priscilla", "Little Curse (Shit Happens)", "This Bull Rides Tonight", "Liar Liar", and "Crying"). Rounding out the rest was the two "explicit" songs from their debut album The Impatient Romantic ("Staten Island Dream Tour" and "Jimmy Dean.")
Hunter Valentine is currently on tour for their upcoming album Collide and Conquer, which is coming out October 22nd. You can catch them live on tour or re-runs on "The Real L Word."

From two year’s of meetings with relatives of all assortments, a few subjects about what we need have risen. It is not gems or gadgets. It’s not by any means back rubs or great auto mechanics, despite the fact that that doesn’t sound so awful, isn’t that right? What we most need can’t be wrapped in a container or purchased on-line. It doesn’t cost cash. Anybody can give it, be that as it may, as is recommended in the second some portion of this article, we need to make the conditions that make getting what we need conceivable.
What We Want
1. TO BE LOVED: Just as little girls and children in-law need to feel esteemed and regarded, so too do relatives. We as a whole need to feel cherished.
2. TO BE INCLUDED: We would prefer not to get a handle on close, avoided from the stream of family life. We like having “insider status” and comprehending what’s new with our kids and their families. We detest discovering from others.
3. TO HOLD ON TO FAMILIAR TRADITIONS: We need to clutch a portion of the customs that we sustained when we were bringing up our own kids and that mean such a great amount to us.
4. TIME ALONE WITH AN ADULT CHILD: We adore, once in a while, to have time with our youngsters. We adore seeing them in their families, yet here and there we long for the closeness of just us. Time alone together is in some cases simpler to drop by with our little girls than our children, however we need it with both
5. TO UNDERSTAND WHY: It is hard not to offer guidance when that has been our employment for two or three decades. Relatives value being requested information. At the point when our recommendation is not tailed, we regularly feel better knowing why another choice was made. We jump at the chance to feel we were listened, if not complied.
6. TO BE TREATED AS SOMEONE WITH A BRAIN: We won’t not have the best thoughts but rather we do have thoughts, assessments, musings and many years of good experience. It harms when we are dealt with as a fuddy-duddy to be endured. On the off chance that kids think we can’t give a word of wisdom since we don’t have the full picture, well, paint it for us.
7. TO HAVE OUR NEEDS CONSIDERED: It’s actual that youthful families with occupied kids, influenced work plans and entangled lives requirement for us to adaptable. Our lives are typically less complex. In any case, we additionally have requirements, and we get a kick out of the chance to realize that others know about them.
8. TO HAVE FUN: As we age, we know that our time is becoming shorter. We would prefer not to waste it battling, doing uninspiring assignments or being with obnoxious individuals.
How Might We Get What We Want?
1. Quit JUDGING: We don’t get a vote; we don’t get a veto. Our youngsters get the opportunity to pick the lives they need to live, and our occupation is to love them and praise their achievements.
2. Decrease EXPECTATIONS: If we don’t expect things will be a sure way, we won’t be disillusioned when they are some other way. Here and there, we don’t know we have desires, yet we do and we feel hurt when they are not met.
3. BE INCLUSIVE: Include your kid’s accomplice in solicitations, messages, blessings, discussions. Try not to imagine his or her feeling doesn’t make a difference. It does.
4. BE FLEXIBLE: Sometimes we need to relinquish the past, of propensities and conventions we treasure to suit the new. Each darling convention was previously an untried thought.
5. Keep in mind THAT LOVE IS NOT QUANTITATIVE: Just when we may have additional time in our lives, our kids have less. Running a house, bringing up youngsters, dealing with work, working out, keeping up companions is a tremendous load. At the point when our youngsters and their accomplices don’t have as much time for us as we wish, it is useful to recall that time is constrained yet love is vast.
6. Surrender CONTROL: If we have made a decent showing with regards to bringing up our kids, it is sheltered to release them. Indeed, even the best of moms doesn’t get the last word on her kids’ decisions. Some of the time we don’t get a word by any means. Regarding our grown-up youngsters enough to trust them to settle on their own choices is the thing that they merit and, incidentally, what they need.
7. MOVE FROM SMART TO WISE: Smart means having clever responses, great arrangements, a word of wisdom. Insightful means knowing when our feelings can’t be heard and we have to stay calm.
8. Have a fabulous time: If we are having some good times, it makes us more alluring to everyone around us. We can’t depend on our youngsters to help us have a fabulous time. We have to “find something useful to do” for ourselves and welcome our kids to share it.

The Karabiner 98k, abbreviated as Kar98k, is a German bolt-action rifle featured in every game of the Call of Duty series set during World War II, as well as appearing in the Rezurrection map pack or the Prestige or Hardened version of Call of Duty Black Ops in Zombies mode, and in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It is used by German soldiers and is usable by the player, but is rarely seen in use by other troops of the Allied forces.
Call of Duty and United Offensive Edit
- "The Kar98k is the standard issue German infantry rifle. It's accurate and deadly at long range, but suffers from a slow rate of fire due to its bolt-action mechanism."
- — Call of Duty manual description of the standard Kar98k
- "The Kar98k outfitted with a scope is a formidable sniper rifle"
- — Call of Duty manual description of the Scoped Kar98k
This weapon is the Axis' primary weapon during the earlier levels in both Call of Duty and Call of Duty: United Offensive. It is very powerful and accurate, capable of killing in just one round, or three to the chest at long range in Call of Duty: United Offensive, but is very slow-firing due to its bolt-action nature. It is more common than the Allied weapons, and therefore can be a good replacement for such as the Mosin Nagant, Lee-Enfield, or M1 Garand. It is best used for medium to long range engagements, as it is not a very effective weapon in close range.
The German and British sniper rifle of choice is a scoped Kar98k, as there is no model for a scoped Lee Enfield.
There is a glitch where if you lean to the right and pull the bolt, part of the gun will show up though the left side of the screen.
In Call of Duty's multiplayer, its regular variant is issued to the German team, and its scoped variant is issued to the German and British team. It is the same as in singleplayer, a very accurate and powerful weapon, capable of killing one enemy with one bullet. However, its slow rate of fire makes it difficult to use in close quarters. In Call of Duty: United Offensive, it is much the same as in Call of Duty. However, at maximum distance, it will take up to three rounds to kill if the shots hit the limbs. Otherwise, it is the same as the previous version.
Call of Duty: Finest HourEdit
- "The Kar98 is the standard issue German infantry rifle. It's accurate and deadly at long range, but suffers from a slow rate of fire due to is bolt-action mechanism."
- — Manual description
The Kar 98 (also labeled "Kar98" sometimes) is the main weapon of the German military, and thus is the most common weapon in the game. It can be found in all levels, and deals decent damage and has a good rate of fire for a bolt-action rifle.
Call of Duty 2 Edit
This weapon is largely the same as in the previous installments. It is a powerful, accurate, but slow-firing weapon issued to the Axis soldiers, and common on lower levels. However, at long range, it can take two rounds to kill if the shots hit the limbs. Otherwise, it is a one-shot-kill at any distance. It is still much more common than some of the default Allied weapons, and the scoped version is still the standard German sniper rifle.
It is much the same as the singleplayer version. Issued to the German team, it is accurate and powerful, a one-shot-kill to the head or body, but slow-firing, making it less useful in close quarters. It can be fairly ammo efficient, provided the user makes every shot hit at least the body.
Call of Duty 2: Big Red OneEdit
- "The German Kar98k could be fitted with a telescoping scope, increasing its range to 850 yeards. 7.92mm caliber 5-round clip."
- — Bonus Materials Description
In singleplayer, the Kar98k (referred to as Karabiner 98k bolt-action in the Bonus Materials) is typically used by the German military. It can be somewhat easily found, but it is not nearly as common as the MP40. It can be a good idea to pick one up as it is usually a one-shot-kill weapon. It is especially effective in open areas and defensive scenarios. It should be accompanied by an automatic weapon, as the Kar98k's low rate of fire can fail in close quarters situations, despite the ease of hitting an enemy with the crosshair dot. However, it does have a powerful melee attack, though most weapons' melee in singleplayer can kill in a single hit. It can be found in both standard and scoped versions.
The Kar98k uses the same model as the one in Call of Duty: Finest Hour, but uses less-fluent reloads and cocks.
Call of Duty 3 Edit
- "7.92mm bolt action rifle. The standard German bolt-action rifle of WWII. Powerful and accurate, but slow firing. Five round internal magazine fed by stripper clips. Effective range of 500 yards."
- — In-game description
The Kar98k (listed as Kar 98k in the Bonus Materials) is used by the German Military. It can be found in every level, and is an extremely common weapon. The Kar98k is powerful, but cycling the bolt makes firing in rapid succession impossible. The Kar98k is generally outclassed by the M1 Garand, and should only be used as a backup weapon in case one of the player's starting weapons runs out of ammo and there are no other weapons at hand.
A Scoped Kar98k can be found in the level "The Island" inside the bunker to the left after the player dodges the tank shell. It is located in the far left of the bunker, behind a machine gun. It is very useful for this particular section, as the player can avoid close-quarters engagements and kill enemies at a long range. It is almost always a one-hit-kill.
The Kar98k is issued to the German Rifleman class. It is generally very accurate and has the highest damage per shot of all the bullet firing weapons available. Compared to the American Rifleman's M1 Garand, it is more powerful and accurate, but the bolt-action nature of the Kar98k gives it a disadvantage. The Kar98k also has a smaller clip capacity than the M1 Garand - a mere five rounds compared the M1 Garand's eight round clip - but unlike the M1 Garand, the Kar98k can be reloaded mid-clip.
The Scoped Kar98k is issued to the German Scout class. It is essentially the same as the regular Kar98k, with an added sniper scope meant for long range engagements. It is usually an effective camping weapon, as hiding inside a high area or in tall grass can give ample time to a player to align a good shot on a target. Compared to the regular Kar98k, the scoped variant suffers less from damage drop in proportion to range, hence, killing in a chest or stomach shot at a variety of ranges.
If the player manages to hold the regular Kar98k and the scoped one at the same time, they will not share ammunition, unlike in campaign.
Call of Duty: Roads to Victory Edit
- "The Kar98-k was a heavy German bolt-action gun that could also fire rifle grenades."
- — In-game description
The Kar98k is a weapon used by the German Military in Call of Duty: Roads to Victory. It is very common, but not nearly as common as the MP40. The Kar98k is one of two bolt-action rifles to have usable iron sights, the other being the Lee-Enfield. The Kar98k generally kills with two shots unless a scope is attached.
Call of Duty: World at War Edit
The Kar98k is found during the Soviet Red Army campaign and is usually used more common in the campaign because of the many German troops that use it, making ammunition more readily available. During "Heart of the Reich" it is used in the early battles. However, inside the Reichstag, the superior officers and Waffen SS Guards use Gewehr 43s and STG-44s. The Kar98k is also common in the mission "Eviction". Though it is powerful, the major flaw of this rifle is that it has a slow reload time compared to the Arisaka and the Mosin-Nagant.
The Kar98k is unlocked at level 41.
All bolt-action rifles have the same accuracy, base damage, reload time and range. Accuracy is entirely dependent upon: the user's ability, and when aim is steadied, if a sniper scope is attached. Bolt-action rifles only differ in fire rate and scope idle sway, although these differences are negligible.
When the sniper scope is attached, the Kar98k receives a large increase in damage. It moves the least while firing and rotating the bolt, making it easier to spot enemies. It could be likened, statistically, to the R700 or the Intervention. Only the Springfield has a faster bolt operation, by a few rounds per minute, which is negligible, but the Kar98k's iron sights are significantly easier to use, as they are open and unobstructed. This weapon can kill in one shot from the chest up without Stopping Power, and from the stomach up, with Stopping Power, when using a scope. Without a scope, at all ranges, a headshot guarantees a kill with one hit (using Stopping Power), but at most ranges a chest or neck shot will kill in one hit. If not using Stopping Power, without a scope, the Kar98k will only kill in one hit with a headshot. Hence, if not using a scope, the player should definitely apply Stopping Power.
Weapon Attachments Edit
Nazi Zombies Edit
The Kar98k is available on all Nazi Zombie maps except Shi No Numa, where its role is replaced by the Arisaka. It is typically found on the wall at the starting point for players and costs 200 points to acquire and 100 points for ammunition and 4500 for Pack-a-Punched ammo, making the non-Pack-a-Punched version the cheapest weapon (along with the Arisaka and the Springfield). It can also be found in the Mystery Box as a rare appearance. It is generally effective for the first three rounds, where it can kill in a single headshot. It will take two headshots to kill at round four, where it can still be used effectively. After that, it is quite useless with its mediocre damage and low rate of fire.
The Scoped version is only available on Nacht der Untoten. To acquire it, the player must first open the top floor. Then, on the far column at the back of the room, there will be a Sniper Cabinet that will cost 1500 points to open. It has a chalk arrow and question mark on the floor pointing to it. Opening it will give access to the Scoped Kar98k, that will cost 750 points for ammunition. It can also be found in the Mystery Box. Unlike its unscoped variant, the scoped Kar98k is much more effective. It can kill in a single headshot until around round 12. It can be considered a good alternative to the PTRS-41 if the player is looking for an effective sniper rifle. It does not have the powerful penetration of the PTRS-41, nor its rate of fire, but it has an arguably more precise reticule, less recoil and a faster reload, as well as being able to reload cancel. However, the scoped Kar98k is reloaded one bullet at a time, whereas the unscoped variant has all its rounds loaded at once, making for much longer reloads with a scope. When Pack-a-Punched in Der Riese, the Kar98k becomes the Armageddon. The Armageddon is similar to the scoped Kar98k in Nacht Der Untoten in terms of power. It has an eight round magazine and 60 rounds in reserve. It is advised not to Pack-a-Punch this weapon, as, ironically, any other weapon, even the M1911, is better when upgraded.
Kar 98k vs. The ArmageddonEdit
|Rate of fire||48 RPM||48 RPM|
|Extras||Higher damage (multipliers are also increased), more ammo, larger magazine.|
Call of Duty: ZombiesEdit
It is notable for being the only off-wall weapon available and used in the tutorial.
Call of Duty: World at War DSEdit
The Kar98k appears in Singleplayer as the starting sniper rifle for the Russian Missions. In Multiplayer, it is the sniper rifle for the Germans.
Call of Duty: World at War: Final FrontsEdit
The Kar98k can be found in the missions "The Race to Bastogne", "The Relief of Bastogne", and "The Battle of Bure" during the Winter Offensive campaign. On various European missions, the weapon can also be found with a Sniper Scope.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Edit
The Kar98k returns in the Call of Duty: Black Ops versions of Nacht der Untoten, Verrückt (replacing the Springfield), and Der Riese. It can only be obtained from its wall outlines for the same price of 200 points. The Scoped version remains in the Sniper Cabinet in Nacht der Untoten, also for the same price. Its Pack-a-Punched version remains mostly the same as its Call of Duty: World at War version. If the player really wants to use the Armageddon to in high rounds, the best strategy would be to buy Mule Kick to unlock a third weapon slot; this allows the player to use two powerful weapons while still being able to use the Kar98k.
Kar98k vs ArmageddonEdit
Call of Duty: WWIIEdit
- "Bolt-action sniper rifle that offers a generous one shot kill zone."
- — Description
The Kar98k returns in Call of Duty: WWII.
The Kar98k carries itself a unique ability, utilizing a quicker ADS time compared to other sniper rifles, but as of a patch, the Kar98k was nerfed to have a similar ADS time as the M1903, being increased to 400 ms. The Kar98k also sported the previously unique Iron Sight attachment in multiplayer. However, the usage of the Iron Sight will award the Kar98k immense amounts of visual sway, yet this can be mitigated with the Scoped basic training.
The Kar98k is a starter weapon, being able to be selected in the player's loadout after being unlocked. As The Final Reich and Gröesten Haus do not feature the Kar98k in any Weapon Lockers nor is it in the Mystery Box, the Kar98k only appears if the player spawns with it. The Darkest Shore, The Shadowed Throne, and The Tortured Path feature the Kar98k in Weapon Lockers and Waffenboxes. The Kar98k may be found in airdrops after wave 3 has been completed in The Tortured Path.
Damage is rather low, losing its one-hit kill to the body before wave 10. Headshots will cease to kill in one shot sometime after wave 12, being ineffective. Rate of fire is somewhat low, due to being bolt-action. The Kar98k is overall ineffective, but as a starter weapon it may be able to support the player until they get a more effective weapon.
When upgraded through the Ubersprengen, the Kar98k becomes the War Model, gaining more ammunition and damage. The iron sight is also equipped when upgraded, taking over the default scope or the 4x Optic if equipped. The Kar98k becomes more effective as close ranges due to the iron sight, but has diminished long range capabilities and higher idle sway. Although the War Model is much more attractive than the base version upgrading the Kar98k may not be an effective choice, other than being used as a novel weapon.

- In Call of Duty and Call of Duty 3, the Kar98k's front sight is a simple post. In all the other games in the series that it appears in, the Kar98k's front sight is shrouded.
Call of Duty 3Edit
- The Kar98k's bolt appears older and more rusted than the rest of the rifle, with the player having to pull it open and slam it shut rather than having the smoother action of the other versions.
- When aiming down the iron sights, the Kar98k's safety is on, yet the player can still work the bolt and fire the weapon.
- On the level, The Mace, Polish soldiers can be seen using the Kar98k.
Call of Duty: World at WarEdit
- In the Wii version of Call of Duty: World at War, when reloading the unscoped Kar98k, no rounds are seen being loaded into the rifle. This also applies for the Springfield.
- In Call of Duty: World at War (Nintendo DS), in singleplayer the Germans use Mosin-Nagants instead of the Kar98k, and the Russians use the Kar98k instead of the Mosin-Nagant.
- In the Wii version of Call of Duty: World at War, the iron sights are different than the other consoles.
- The Kar98k in Call of Duty: World at War: Final Fronts has a sling in third-person that is not visible in first-person.

Schweyer lauds $12 million in state investments to improve Allentown
ALLENTOWN, April 25 – State Rep. Peter Schweyer was instrumental in bringing $12 million in state funding back to the city of Allentown for three critical development projects that will boost jobs and improve the quality of life for city residents and workers.
“These projects will go toward community building, job security and the revitalization of Allentown. They will contribute to the betterment of our community, whether by educating the young minds of tomorrow or by providing safer and easier access to quality health care or redeveloping sites to increase the local economy,” said Schweyer, D-Lehigh. “I’d also like to thank Governor Wolf for recognizing Allentown’s need for the new DaVinci Science Center, which just recently broke ground for the new facility, by authorizing the funding.”
Schweyer said the funding, made possible through the state’s Redevelopment Assistance Program will benefit the following projects:
- The Da Vinci Science Center – received $10 million to construct a 67,300-square-foot science center which will be home to more than 30,000 square feet of STEM-based interactive exhibits, an 8,600-square-foot STEAM Learning Center, a 150-seat demonstration theater, a grand courtyard and exhibit space, and other amenities for visitors.
- St. Luke’s Hospital – received $1 million to connect the Sigal Center with the St. Luke's Parking Garage next to it. Parking garage improvements include a new vehicular access ramp from the parking lot at the Sigal Center and a new pedestrian bridge from the second floor of the parking garage into the Sigal Center. The project includes utility relocation/coordination, a new pedestrian bridge, the relocation of the parking garage entrance/ramp, and new lighting.
- The Allentown Economic Development Corporation – received $1 million for phase 1B of the Basin Street Redevelopment Project, which will construct the foundation of the building. Specifically, cast-in-place foundations, footings, and piers and the associated 6" stone base and 8" slab on ground. It will also be used to erect pre-cast wall panels.
The Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program is a Commonwealth grant program administered by the Office of the Budget for the acquisition and construction of regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational and historical improvement projects. RACP projects are authorized in the Redevelopment Assistance section of a Capital Budget Itemization Act, have a regional or multi-jurisdictional impact, and generate substantial increases or maintain current levels of employment, tax revenues or other measures of economic activity.

IP Insurance by BlueIron
All of your intellectual property - patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets - can be protected with affordable insurance products.
Enforcement insurance gives you the power to go after infringers who steal your patented invention or copy your trademarks. Defense insurance protects you when someone sues you.
Startup companies especially do not have the money to spend on patent enforcement, and could be put out of business with an incoming lawsuit. These insurance products protect the company and are essentially pre-paid legal fees for these special cases.
Many startup companies operate in very perilous intellectual property regimes. They may be unknowingly stepping on patents held by a big competitor or by a nefarious patent troll.
Disruptive startup companies who are breaking new ground WILL have copycats. That is why you get patents to cover your innovations.
Patent enforcement insurance will give you pre-paid legal fees so that you can go after those infringers. You have full control over the enforcement, and you can get a license, have them cease and desist, or do take some other action as you - and only you - decide.
Enforcement insurance is pre-paid legal fees so that you can enforce your patent against a competitor or other infringer.
Most startup companies wonder how they will ever be able to enforce their patents if a competitor were to start infringing. With patent enforcement insurance, all of that is taken care of. The insurance policy will kick in, paying for your attorneys, court costs, and other expenses to go after the infringers.
With patent enforcement insurance, you decide how to enforce your patents. This is critical, because you might want your competitor to cease-and-desist OR you might want them to take a license. Either way, you decide what is best for your company and all the legal fees are paid by the insurance.
This is a big difference from using contingency fee firms to assert your patents. Contingency fee firms will take a huge percentage of anything recovered (typically 40% or more), but this is paid AFTER attorney's fees and expenses. So if they spend $500,000 on attorney's fees and collect $600,000 total, you would only receive $50,000 for your troubles.
With patent enforcement insurance, you keep whatever you collect.
Defense insurance protects you from in-bound litigation.
Defense insurance protects you from competitors, patent trolls, or anyone else who thinks you infringe their patents. In many cases, these lawsuits are nuisance suits, where they light up a lawsuit to extract some amount less than the total cost of a lawsuit. A typical troll may want $500,000 from you to make them go away.
With defense insurance, you can choose to fight them or settle. Either way, your expenses, including settlement fees, are paid out of the insurance policy.
With either patent enforcement or patent defense policies, you control the litigation.
You also can use your attorneys - or use some of our vetted law firms. We require that your attorney have first-chair experience in these types of litigation, so we want only the most qualified attorneys representing you.

Grains finished higher on Thursday without a clear, market-driving headline behind the move. The weakness in the Dollar contract was likely a major catalyst. Also, the market has been coming off of an oversold situation which means many of these buy orders could be for technical reasons.
We maintain that now is a good time to be purchasing call options against previous hedges. There are a number of reasons we believe the market may have found a level of support. Many analysts have started to get bearish, old crop corn is starting to move, the dollar has started its fall from the highs, and higher end federal crop insurance policies could be close to paying out a revenue claim at normal yields.

Pretty good profit margin they have going on there. Hopefully people don't need to take them up on their offer. And you wouldn't think it would be that hard to spell it 'in store'.
Ugh, that's one of my pet hates...
Saw this myself a couple of days ago, thought the same thing. Low interest rates, eh?
Bad value but possibly cheaper than the bank charges for going overdrawn for a few days at the end of the month.

CORRECTION: REPLACE NAMP WITH NAMPA IN FIRST PARA
REPLACE onwer WITH owner IN EIGHTH PARA
WINDHOEK, 25 MAR (NAMPA) The Sefelana group of companies on Tuesday re-launched its Metro Hyper store in Windhoek after the group took over the Metro chain from Metcash Africa last year.
The Botswana-based company, Sefelana, spent an excess of N.dollars 2,5 million on improving the Hyper store in Windhoeks Kleine Kuppe residential area, just one its 13 outlets countrywide that operates under the Metro brand.
Speaking at the re-launch, Managing Director of Metro Namibia Bryan Davis thanked Namibians for extremely welcoming the Metro management, adding they are honoured to do business in Namibia.
We are currently looking at a number of expansion opportunities throughout Namibia and intend to grow our business substantially over the next number of years, he said.
He assured Namibians that they are prepared to be here for the long-term and Metro will soon have achieved progressive stability after a protracted period of instability that arose from previous management.
Our mission is to be a truly Namibian company and we strive to support local businesses, producers and suppliers, as Namibia is the place we generate and spend our income, he said.
He said the company's stock holdings have virtually doubled in all stores to ensure that they are able to satisfy the demand and secure the most competitive prices for the customers.
The Metro Hyper store in Windhoek has so far created 100 jobs and the company is in the process of establishing an internship program, which will create opportunities for promotion from within.
In 2014, the Sefelana Holding Company acquired all assets of Metro Namibia because the previous owner, Metcash Africa, was not only struggling in the country but their operations in neighbouring South Africa were being sold off to a number of independent cash and carry companies.
Metcash Africa was at one point present in more than 10 African countries and was considered a giant in the fast moving consumer goods market in southern, central and east Africa.
It was at this stage that Sefelana stepped in and showed interest in acquiring the chain.
Sefelana's entry into Namibia came about by acquiring an independent cash and carry in Katima Mulilo, namely Bhamjee Family Stores and Wholesale and Hardware in February 2014, which was soon followed by the acquisition of the Metro chain in July 2014.

That comment was made by Judge Mahesh Chandra Sharma who, on Wednesday, recommended that the cow be given the status of India's national animal. In his argument, the judge compared the cow to the national bird, the peacock, and described both the species as "pious".
This was his explanation for the piousness of the peacock - "The peacock is a lifelong brahmachari (celibate). It never has sex with the peahen. The peahen gets pregnant after swallowing the tears of the peacock".
Except that they do mate, as many on Twitter pointed out. Some even posted videos.
Twitter went into overdrive with their take on Mr Sharma's view with #brahmacharipeacock and #sanskaaripeacock appearing in many tweets.

Middlesbrough boss Gordon Strachan has revealed that he did his utmost to keep Emanuel Pogatetz.
The uncompromising centre-half officially broke ties with Boro on Tuesday, as his contract was terminated.
Fresh terms were put to the 27-year-old, in an effort to convince him to prolong his five-year association with the club, but he decided the time was right to move on.
He is now set to sign a three-year deal with Bundesliga outfit Hannover, taking him back to Germany where he has previously been on the books of Bayer Leverkusen.
Strachan admits he is disappointed to see Pogatetz depart the Riverside Stadium but accepts the club were unable to match the offer put to him from elsewhere.
"We did our best to keeper Emanuel at Middlesbrough but we cannot realistically compete financially with a Bundesliga club," he said in a statement released by Boro.
"It's disappointing but I respect his decision. He was a great servant to Middlesbrough and a great character who, despite his injury problems, I enjoyed working with last season. We wish him all the best with Hannover."

Dark Days: Soul Veg Inspired Kale Salad
I’m not in a rut–I’m just addicted to kale salads! Some beast awakened within me that yells “more kale” every day–and thankfully I can satisfy it with the locally grown stuff. The latest most-addicting kale salad since last week is this simple one inspired by Soul Veg, a vegan soul food restaurant in Atlanta (and other locations) that serves up the most craveable vegan mac n’ cheese, bbq rib-things (kalebone–i.e. seitan), and a simple salad with a dressing that will make you come back for more and more and more. I love the place so much that I went there with a ton of friends for my 21st birthday–even though they don’t sell alcohol. I love that place more than words can say.
But more than loving it, I miss it dearly–Roanoke has nothing on Soul Veg (and by nothing I mean nothing, there’s no semblance of vegan soul food here, just that hippy-granola-healthy stuff, which is good…but you know…) Back in the day there used to be a cookbook based off their recipes and one of my friends managed to get a copy–I’ve never seen or heard of another one out there, so who knows the story. In it was detailed the infamous salad dressing. I copied it down but then lost it in the move to Roanoke, and after moving to Roanoke, I promptly went into repression mode in order to forget the goodness that is Soul Veg.
And it worked, until a couple of days ago when I went to the kitchen to make a lovely kale salad with this dressing. But the blog was down and no bit of Googling was hitting the right note for me. Then I remembered–Soul Veg dressing. But how to make it? I could remember bits and pieces of the recipe, like that it required mostly nooch, but the majority of it was blank in my mind. Some more Googling ensued. And then I found it, the blog post I’d completely forgotten about, Lori’s 2007 conquest of the Soul Veg dressing as recorded on her fabulous blog, Pleasantly Plump Vegan, which I miss oh-so-much. Hope she’s doing well these days. Well hot damn, this kale salad party is bumpin!
The dressing is delightfully indescribable–it’s creamy and extremely garlicky, but tempered by the nutritional yeast which lends a rather cheesy but decidedly not cheese flavor. It’s got a bit, but it’s mellow. It needs to be poured on everything. Maybe even my breasts. (I don’t think G would like that, on second thoughts…) See, indescribable. The very definition. All I know is that it’s the most addictive salad dressing I’ve ever eaten and Lori’s recipe is spot-on–I felt like I was back in Soul Veg with the Atlanta folks I love mowing down on some kalebone and collards. Can I go back now?
Soul Veg Inspired Kale Salad
Adapted from Pleasantly Plump Vegan
1-2 handfuls kale, washed & deribbed, chopped into small pieces
1 carrot, peeled & shredded
1 handful sunflower seeds
1 c nutritional yeast
2/3 c water
2 tbsp Bragg’s Amino Acids
2 tbsp turbinado sugar
2 tsp granulated garlic
3 medium garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 c neutral oil (vegetable, canola, safflower, etc.)
In a bowl, combine the prepared kale and carrots. Set aside.
Place all dressing ingredients in a the bowl of a mixer or food processor. Process until completely smooth and creamy.
Pour ~1/4 cup (to sight/feel) dressing over the salad and use your hands to mix the salad with the dressing, massaging the kale a little to break it down.
Plate the salad or eat straight from the bowl and sprinkle sunflower seeds on top for crunch.
(Makes 1.5 c dressing)

SARASOTA, Fla. (WFLA) – COVID-19 isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. City leaders in Sarasota say concerned residents and business owners are seeking more local restrictions, but there’s only so much that can be done.
Sarasota Mayor Jen Ahearn-Koch tells 8 On Your Side she’s received several messages from concerned residents asking for city leaders to limit restaurants to take-out and dine-out only. She says even some restaurant owners want to see a ban on indoor dining until we flatten the curve.
“We don’t have the authority to do that. Since the Governor has already weighed in on the capacity of the restaurants, we don’t have the authority to override the Governor,” said Mayor Ahearn-Koch. “Businesses are asking, restaurants are asking,” she continued.
8 On Your Side spoke with two local restaurant owners who expressed concerns about their employees working in close quarters.
One of the business owners who asked not to be identified out of fear of choosing sides on what has become a political issue said, “I do believe any indoor seating in restaurants, especially the small ones, is dangerous to our staff”.
“As our chef saw the numbers increase so steadily, he just said, this is not worth it, this is unsafe for our guests, this is unsafe for our team,” said local server Lauren Jackson.
Jackson admits it hasn’t been comfortable wearing a face mask while working outdoors in the Florida heat, but she sees it as the best option to protect her livelihood and her health.
“We have a super small team. They’re only six of us front of house and four of us back of house, so we are a really small 10 or 11 person team. If one of us is down, the whole restaurant goes down,” said Jackson.
Downtown restaurant owner Michelle Schlingmann tells 8 On Your Side, it’s been a very tough balance navigating through the pandemic, but she’s confident customers at her restaurant feel comfortable with the safety protocol in place.
“I believe we absolutely have enough in place to keep it safe inside. We have a little buzzer that goes off where everyone stops what they are doing and they wipe the high traffic areas, doors, the ladies rooms, the counters, and the high touch areas. We are doing everything that we can to keep our employees and our customers safe,” said Schlingmann. “You never know. Nothing is a 100% guarantee, but we are doing all we can,” she continued.
Vice Mayor Shelli Freeland Eddie says she’s been receiving emails from residents asking for city leaders to consider another shutdown.
“If the numbers continue to spike, we have the right to go into special executive session and ask our City Attorney to research what our authority is. In my mind, nothing is off the table at this point if the numbers, unfortunately, continue to go in the wrong direction,” she continued.
