Cancel Culture Is Officially Canceled, According to This Eye-Opening New Documentary From Monica Lewinsky
In June 2020, just days after the murder of George Floyd, a photo of Emmanuel Cafferty started to circulate on Twitter. It featured a clear shot of Cafferty's hand, which appeared to be forming a white supremacist hand signal, as he drove his San Diego Gas & Electric Truck. You might recall seeing the image recycled on your feed a few times, each post featuring several angry comments. Or perhaps you saw the headlines where Cafferty lost his job for the seemingly racist gesture. But as it turns out, the media got the story wrong. And now, in HBO Max's eye-opening documentary, 15 Minutes of Shame, Cafferty is sharing his side of the story.
It's just one of many cases of online public shaming, but in this sobering film, we get a deeper look at four people who were either disproportionately shamed for their mistakes or cyber-harassed by racist trolls. Directed by Max Joseph (Catfish) and executive produced by Monica Lewinsky, who calls herself "patient zero" of having her reputation destroyed by the internet, 15 Minutes of Shame also takes a deep dive into the history of cancel culture, featuring interviews with social media experts, psychologists, authors and professors.
For some, the 90-minute film may feel like a sort of cop out for those who've made mistakes and are seeking redemption—but that's certainly not the goal here. Rather, it carefully examines why society revels in public humiliation and, more importantly, tries to understand how the world got to this point. It also does a phenomenal job of humanizing those who've been "canceled," making sure to differentiate their actions from who they are. As author Jon Ronson describes it, people tend to "rid the story of nuance and context, treating someone as this monolithic aspect of their personality."
As for how this phenomenon became so popular, the film traces its origins all the way back to the pillory (a wooden tool that was used to imprison offenders while being exposed to public abuse). But it was after the invention of the printing press and the introduction of tabloid culture when public shaming really blew up. Cultural historian Dr. Tiffany Watt Smith offers some fascinating insight about why this has been the case, explaining that it's all due to "schadenfreude," a term for the pleasure people get from seeing someone else's misfortune.
"Studies show dopamine is released when we see a transgressor being punished," Smith says in the film. "People talk a lot about moral outrage, they talk about injustice. What they're not really talking about is the pleasure."
Professor and activist Loretta J. Ross also speaks to this, noting that there's a tinge of sadism in call out culture. As she recalled doxxing certain offenders in the past, she said, "I cringe thinking about how much satisfaction I got out of that."
15 Minutes of Shame also acknowledges the good side of public shaming, saying that it can be used for good when it comes to giving marginalized groups a voice, fighting injustice and calling out big corporations. But over time, these hashtag movements have turned into opportunities to call out normal people for making even relatively small mistakes. Ross says, "Public shaming of people is never effective. It doesn't really take into account the humanity of the person being called out, it doesn't set up any kind of opportunity to actually achieve accountability. It's a way of trying to hold people accountable, theoretically, but doing it in such a publicly shaming way that you actually achieve another goal, and that is to blow up somebody else's life."
It's enough to make anyone stop and think twice before canceling someone on their feed, but perhaps the most memorable takeaway comes from Dr. Mary Aiken, who manages to sum up the entire movie's message in her statement. While discussing the internet's role in decreasing levels of empathy, she said, "The most important thing is that we remember what it is to be human. If, however, we see the rise of narcissists, the rise of sadists, the rise of those who have no empathy, then we are going to live in a very ugly society going forward."
Perhaps Lewinsky and Joseph's documentary can help steer us back in the right direction.
Purewow Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

The Royals on Thursday activated OF Rick Ankiel to the big league roster. Craig Calcaterra of Hardball Talk has one simple question: Why?â†µ
The Royals are about to call up Rick Ankiel from Omaha, where he has put up a batting line of .270/.281/.556 in 63 at bats while rehabbing. Meanwhile, Alex Gordon is batting .315/.442/.577 in 260 at bats since being sent down, presumably to learn left field.â†µ
Query: given Ankiel's injury history and his own defensive limitations,
Maybe the Royals are trying to move Ankiel, he suggests. This would give them an opportunity to "showcase" him even that scenario is a little hard to believe considering Ankiel has missed three months of the season.â†µ
Calling up Ankiel could potentially hurt the Royals in the long run if it's holding back at-bats for Gordon. Ned Yost has previously suggested Ankiel is likely to stay in the minor leagues for a while. It's possible he's a September call-up.â†µ
There are reports that most teams are looking at David DeJesus at the MLB trade deadline as a corner outfielder and not a center fielder so perhaps the motivation was to get Ankiel back in center and move DeJesus (pre-hand injury) to right field where teams could get a better look at him.

In the tranquil coastal town of Michoacán, Mexico, nestled along the shores of the Pacific Ocean, a serene day turned into a scene of sudden chaos on September 15, 2023. What began as a leisurely day at the beach for many locals and tourists swiftly transformed into a harrowing experience when lightning struck with unprecedented ferocity, leaving a trail of destruction and disbelief in its wake.
As the sun cast its warm glow upon the golden sands, families and friends gathered along the shoreline, seeking respite from the summer heat. Laughter echoed against the gentle rhythm of the waves, and the salty breeze carried with it a sense of tranquility. But rain started to foam and little did they know that nature’s fury was about to disrupt their idyllic day.
With a deafening crack, a bolt of lightning descended from the darkened skies above, illuminating the horizon with its brilliant intensity. In a matter of seconds, chaos ensued as panic rippled through the crowd. Two unsuspecting individuals, caught in the path of the electrifying bolt, bore the brunt of its force.
The first victim, a young man enjoying a leisurely stroll along the water’s edge, felt a searing jolt course through his body as the lightning struck him directly. His anguished cries pierced the air, sending nearby beachgoers scrambling for safety. In a state of shock and disbelief, they watched in horror as the electrical discharge continued its unpredictable trajectory.
Unbeknownst to the onlookers, the lightning’s journey had only just begun. With unparalleled force, it surged through the damp sand, conducting its deadly energy with alarming efficiency. In a cruel twist of fate, a second individual, mere meters away from the initial strike, found themselves in the path of imminent danger.
As the bolt traversed the sandy terrain, it unleashed its destructive power once more, striking the unsuspecting beachgoer with unforgiving force. The impact was instantaneous, sending shockwaves through the surrounding area and leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.
Amidst the chaos and confusion, bystanders rushed to the aid of the injured, their instincts driven by a collective sense of urgency and compassion. Emergency services were swiftly summoned, their sirens wailing as they raced against time to provide much-needed assistance.
In the aftermath of the lightning strikes, the beach lay eerily silent, the once-vibrant atmosphere now tinged with an air of solemnity. Paramedics worked tirelessly to stabilize the victims, their expertise a beacon of hope amidst the despair.
News of the incident spread rapidly, capturing the attention of the local community and beyond. Questions swirled as to how such a tragedy could have occurred, prompting authorities to launch a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the lightning strikes.
In the days that followed, experts sought to unravel the mysteries of nature’s wrath, analyzing weather patterns and atmospheric conditions in search of answers. Their findings shed light on the rare phenomenon that had unfolded on that fateful day, offering insights into the unpredictable forces at play.
As the community grappled with the aftermath of the tragedy, a sense of resilience emerged, uniting neighbors and strangers alike in a shared resolve to overcome adversity. Fundraisers were organized, and support poured in from far and wide, offering solace to those affected by the events at Michoacán Mexico Beach.
In the midst of tragedy, stories of heroism and compassion emerged, reminding the world of the indomitable human spirit. From the quick thinking of bystanders to the dedication of first responders, acts of bravery served as beacons of hope in a time of darkness.
As time passed, the scars left by the lightning strikes began to heal, though the memories of that fateful day would forever linger in the hearts and minds of those who bore witness to its fury. Yet, amidst the lingering echoes of tragedy, there remained a glimmer of hope—a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of community in the face of adversity.
In the tranquil coastal town of Michoacán, Mexico, the sands of the beach bore witness to a moment of unimaginable chaos, forever etching September 15, 2023, into the annals of history as a day when nature’s fury collided with the resilience of the human spirit, leaving an indelible mark on all who were touched by its wrath.

Julian Alvarez, a prominent striker for Manchester City, has been taken aback by the underwhelming rating given to his teammate and compatriot, Enzo Fernandez, in the upcoming EAFC video game. This revelation surfaced through an Instagram post where Alvarez voiced his surprise and disagreement with Fernandez’s assigned rating of 83. According to Alvarez, Fernandez’s contributions on the field warrant a much higher rating, and he is not hesitant to express his opinion on this matter.
Fernandez, a notable star in Manchester City and part of the Argentine national team, has been displaying exceptional performances, particularly during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, where he played a pivotal role in securing victories for his country, ultimately contributing to their triumph in the tournament. His commendable form and accomplishments with Chelsea during the season have further strengthened his case for a higher rating in the EAFC video game.
As the highly anticipated annual EA Sports video game, “Club Football Returns,” approaches its release, the gaming community eagerly awaits the complete set of player ratings ranging from 1 to 99. In the buildup to the game’s launch, EA Sports has strategically unveiled certain player ratings as part of their promotional strategy. However, the disappointment stemming from Fernandez’s lower-than-expected rating has resonated not only with Alvarez but also within the gaming community.
Alvarez, a discerning gamer himself, took a critical look at Fernandez’s assigned rating and expressed his dissatisfaction by stating, “They came up short.” This candid remark signifies Alvarez’s belief that Fernandez deserves a higher acknowledgment of his skills and abilities within the virtual gaming realm. The discontentment voiced by Alvarez serves as a plea to EA Sports organizers to reconsider and potentially revise Fernandez’s rating, aligning it more accurately with his real-life prowess on the football pitch.

Note to those Newark Public School youngsters who for one reason or another have yet to wear their uniforms to class -- time is up.
Starting today the district's approximately 30,000 elementary school students are expected to arrive wearing uniforms.
Superintendent Clifford Janey unveiled the new policy earlier this year, but state statute required school officials to give parents at least three months' notice before implementing dress-code changes. The grace period is over.
"We understand that Dec. 1 is nearing the middle of the year, but it was vital that we notified parents prior to implementation to get their buy-in and support," Janey said. "Based on the attendance at several community meetings ... parents are in favor of school uniforms."
Guidelines for the uniforms have been set, but the specifics of the style and color of the plaid jumpers, polo shirts and khaki cargo pants kids are wearing were decided by principals, staff and parent groups at each school.
At Maple Avenue School, boys wear slacks, button-down shirts and sweaters, while girls wear plaid skirts, blouses and sweaters in the school's signature burgundy and gray. To accommodate parents' pocketbooks, two vendors were chosen, and there are lower-priced variations of the standard outfit, Principal Deneen Washington said.
So far students are embracing the change, and nearly 100 percent of the school's 500-plus students are participating, she said. The change can be seen in the students' attitudes, Washington said.
"The students are more focused, expectations are different," she said. "On days when they wear their uniforms they walk and talk and sit a certain way. We can get down to learning."
Cleveland School began enforcing a school-based uniform policy two years ago because students' focus on clothing was distracting them from learning, Principal Zakkiya Razzaq said. The first year 30 percent of the school participated, the next year it increased to about 60 percent and this year roughly 90 percent of the pupils are complying with the policy.
"We can now tell parents this is not just a Cleveland School initiative, it is a district-wide mandate," she said.
The yellow tops and navy blue bottoms her students now wear to classes mean less competition over who is wearing what designer, and the result is they pay more attention to their studies, Razzaq said.
"If they come in focused on learning and aren't distracted, the academic progress will increase," she said. "There is a difference in school climate, things are more orderly and our children understand we are preparing them for life."
Although some parents voiced complaints about the chosen colors, or said the district should have just waited until the next school year, the majority at Fourteenth Avenue School were on board with the change, said Amy Aracena, PTO president and mother of two sons in second and fourth grades.
"There are some parents that say they don't want to do it, but for the most part, most parents are for it," Aracena said. "It is nice to look out and see them all wearing the same thing, and there's not so much competition with brand names."
Leveling that playing field makes it worth the grumbling, said Carol Dunnell, another parent.
"Sometimes the kids (say), 'Mom, I'd rather wear jeans, this and that,'" said Dunnell, whose daughter Malaysia is in first grade at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. School. "But I think the uniform is a good thing for the kids. It gives kids self-esteem -- they don't have to worry about this kid has on $90 jeans and I have on $30 jeans."
Malaysia said her beige and burgundy ensemble just makes her life easier.
"I can wear it to school all the time, and I don't have to look for clothes," she said.
In the weeks leading up to the deadline, the district increased publicity around the policy change by posting advertisements on the sides of NJ Transit buses, distributing bilingual fliers at schools and handing out fact sheets at parent-teacher conferences. Three community meetings were held around the city, and a billboard is displayed along Route 21.
Based on the response from elementary school parents, the step will be to implement the policy at the city's high schools next school year.

The Royal Osteoporosis Society (ROS) is pleased to announce the appointment of Craig Jones as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Craig, who is currently Director of Communications for the Advertising Standards Authority, will take up his new position in March 2020.
He has held leadership roles in membership and regulatory bodies over the last decade and sits on the Board of the Royal College of Anaesthetists. He also serves as a Lay Member of the National Organ Donation Committee at NHS Blood and Transplant.
Craig practised as a government lawyer in the Home Office and, in 2006, he applied his experience of advocacy to leading a children’s charity’s successful campaign for new investment in socially excluded young people. Following that outcome, he was invited by a Cabinet Minister to oversee stakeholder engagement for the Equality Act.
His new appointment as CEO of the ROS was made after a thorough and competitive recruitment process during 2019.
Chairman of the ROS Board of Trustees, Professor Neil Gittoes said:
“Craig’s experience in the public sector will hugely benefit the charity’s strategic direction, helping focus on the prevention of osteoporosis, and working towards finding a cure.
“We as a charity are extremely excited about the future and our vision of a future without osteoporosis. Craig’s appointment as our new CEO will be key to delivering this.
“The launch of our new Osteoporosis and Bone Research Academy, which followed on from our charity being awarded a protected Royal title in 2019, will drive us towards achieving a cure for osteoporosis.
“Putting our beneficiaries at the heart of everything we do means our priorities include improving the bone health of our nation and influencing healthcare providers and professionals to deliver high-quality healthcare. We want to ensure that people are assessed and treated for osteoporosis much earlier. The ROS aims to provide the best information, support and services to help people with osteoporosis live well.”
Craig Jones said:
“The Royal Osteoporosis Society has a great story to tell. The charity has a record in supporting people with osteoporosis to live well, leadership in services to diagnose people more quickly, and plays a major role in the research effort to develop new forms of treatment and a cure.
“It is a privilege to join the ROS’s committed staff, volunteers and partners as they continue to make a difference in the lives of the ROS’s beneficiaries.”
Craig takes over from Claire Severgnini, who retired from the ROS in December 2019 after 13 years.

After spending 100 days paddling down Alaska’s Yukon River in 2006, Canadian Brett Rogers contemplated his next move. Returning to a life of normalcy was not an option, so he began planning a project called “Old Man River.” Years later, using past connections through actor, Dan Aykroyd, Rogers and crew funded a 2,400-mile paddle down the storied Mississippi River on a 32-foot York boat. They endured fierce storms and a month of rain. They portaged their 1,000-pound vessel over 15-plus miles and came face-to-face with some of the world’s most intimidating industrial landscapes.
The end result is a 10-part web series with new episodes being released every Tuesday. Intrigued by Rogers’s expedition, we asked the adventurer about leading such an epic river journey.
How were you guys able to escape the responsibilities of daily life like jobs and family for 100 days?
Everyone on the crew was at a crossroads with their lives and so the timing was perfect. Everyone had just graduated from school or was in between jobs. For me, I had been doing some freelance work in television and was teaching documentary part-time at a college but my focus had always been (and still is) to build a career on storytelling around water, so for me it was a no brainer.
How long did it take to build the York Boat?
The boat build was over a 3-month span but we built 90-percent of the boat in 6 weeks. We had a boat builder give us guidance, but Cliff (my first mate) and myself did 90-percent of the labor.
Was there a time during the expedition you were worried about the boat falling apart?
We really believed in our wooden boat. That said, the headwaters for the first 500 miles were extremely shallow and our boat was taking a beating. We knew at some point we would have to undertake major repairs or risk causing major damage to the hull, which would jeopardize the expedition.
What was going through your guys mind as it rained for a month straight?
F@#k this! It was probably the biggest mental battle I have ever endured. Not only did it rain everyday but it was an extremely cold, one of the coldest falls on record. Every night we set-up camp our sleeping bags would be damp from the day before.
As the saying goes; it’s not a true expedition until someone from the crew reaches a breaking point. How long did it take for a crew member to question the trip?
In St. Louis one teammate found out his parents were splitting up while another broke off a long distance relationship with their partner. Not easy things to deal with on the river. I of course was very stressed with leading the expedition and directing the production of the documentary. Yet with it all, no one reached a breaking point. That said, by the time we reached Baton Rouge, with over 100 days of river behind us, and only 230 miles to go before the Gulf, I think we all began to breakdown both mentally and physically as is evident in the film.
What were the biggest challenges along the way?
There was one common challenge that did not change from day 1 to day 110 and that was finding drinking water. Every 3 days we had to resupply our drinking water and yet for the entire expedition the river was too polluted to drink. This was both a major pain, and a major revelation into understanding how most people in the world deal with something most of us in North America take for granted.
Talk about the interesting characters you guys met along the way.
Ike Hastings– a World War II veteran who fought in the Pacific and married five times– at 85 years young lived on a paddle wheeler he built himself and hammered home why river life is the best when he said, “I’ve always liked it on the river because it’s the last place where you don’t have someone running the radar clock on you or telling you what you can do. If you don’t like your neighbors you can always cut the line and drift on down a ways.”
Reflecting back on the trip, what’s the one experience you’ll never forget?
The River was more beautiful than I had ever imagined. I think most people around the world would assume that the Mississippi River is this open sewer– sometimes this is true. But the truth is the good far overshadows the bad. We camped on countless deserted sandy islands located in the middle of nowhere that would rival any beach in the world.

Ice Machines for Construction Sites
Portable ice machines are a great option for construction sites. They can be used to keep workers cool in the summer heat and to provide ice for first aid kits. There are a few things to consider when choosing an ice machine for a construction site.
First, you need to consider the size of the machine. Portable ice machines come in a variety of sizes, from small personal models to large commercial units. Choose a machine that will fit your needs.
Second, you need to think about power. Some portable ice machines run on batteries, while others need to be plugged into an outlet. If you’ll be using the machine on a construction site, make sure you choose one that can be powered by a generator.
Finally, you need to consider the price. Portable ice machines can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Choose a machine that fits your budget.
Building Site Lunch Room Ice Machines
When you are working on a building site, the last thing you want to worry about is where your lunch is going to come from. If you have an ice machine in your lunch room, you can easily keep sandwiches and drinks chilled until it’s time to eat. Ice machines are a great option for building and construction sites.

The report, I Could Not Survive Another Day, found that every year more than 10,000 women suffer from the same form of hyperemesis gravidarum as Kate Middleton has reported experiencing during her current pregnancy. The BPAS say that despite in resulting in extreme nausea and vomiting, many are not offering the full range of treatments.
BPAS director of external services Clare Murphy said: "Kate's [Middleton] experience has dramatically raised awareness of HG but many sufferers are expected to put up with it or have an abortion.
"No woman should ever feel stigmatised or judged for doing what is right for her or her family. But misplaced concerns about the impact of medication on the foetus should not prevent a woman accessing care she needs to continue a wanted pregnancy."
It is crucial to educate both pregnant women and healthcare professional on the difference between HG and 'normal' morning sickness in light of the findings according to Dr Daghni Rajasingam from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
Nearly half of the women surveyed described difficulty obtaining appropriate medication, with specific treatments refused. In particular, women reported being denied some of the more effective treatments because of concerns about cost but also the impact on the foetus, even though there is a broad body of evidence indicating these treatments are safe.
BPAS suggests that nearly 60 years on from the Thalidomide disaster, some doctors remain hesitant about offering pregnant women medication, and women in turn anxious about whether such drugs are safe in pregnancy.

Texas A&M defensive end Damontre Moore’s offseason hasn’t been very helpful toward his NFL future.
With a disappointing performance at the NFL Scouting Combine that was coupled with a so-so pro day at A&M, Moore’s draft stock has done nothing but fluctuate.
Once a sure-fire top-10 pick, Moore is now in danger of falling out of the first round and beyond.
At least one mock draft though does still have Moore in the first round and where he might land could be a game changing situation for the young pass rusher.
Nate Davis of USA Today Sports has released his “Mock Draft 3.0″ and Moore’s A&M teammate Luke Joeckel remains the consensus No. 1 overall pick.
Moore on the other hand is seen by Davis landing at the No. 28 position to the Denver Broncos which would pair him up with his former teammate and mentor, Von Miller.
“His stock has taken a beating ever since a horrid showing at the scouting combine,” Davis said. “Still, Moore managed 12½ sacks for the Aggies last season, and the Broncos could use a young pass rusher in the wake of the Elvis Dumervil debacle. Perhaps a reunion with former A&M teammate Von Miller would be a needed boon to Moore.”
Denver would be the perfect fit for Moore who established a strong relationship with Miller and his parents as a troubled young defender at A&M.
Going through many of the hard-headed troubles Miller did, Moore was able to make a turnaround in character and saw his game sore to the next level upon confiding in Miller and his family.
While Moore has watched his draft stock plummet, he could be on the rise if picked up by the Broncos and under the tutelage of his former teammate.

Articles from Alabama
Nations Energy Solutions had filed a motion to dismiss the case, saying the claims were speculative. The motion was denied on Friday. That got the company’s leaders asking why they were in the lawsuit, Tracey said.
There is a group of people opposed to a proposed wind farm sight on Turkey Heaven Mountain in Cleburne County they have shared their feelings several times with the county commission.
The proposed legislation passed unanimously by the Cleburne Commission is based on the Cherokee County law, Commission Chairman Ryan Robertson said. The legislation includes regulations such as a 2,500 foot setback from adjacent property, a 40-decibel sound limit and safety features including fences at least 6 feet high surrounding the turbines.
Opponents of a proposed wind farm on Turkey Heaven Mountain have brought up concerns that the development might hamper emergency communications in the county, and a communications expert supported their warning. Mark Truett, one of the the dissenters, brought information on the potential for interference to a Cleburne County Commission meeting earlier this month.
The lawsuit, filed on June 2, had dismissed all the defendants but Oklahoma-based Nations Energy Solutions and Terra-Gen Power from Delaware, so the defendants asked that the case be transferred to federal court. Anniston attorney Christopher Hopkins, who represents the defendants, filed the notice of the move to federal court Dec. 4.
Plaintiffs attorney Chad Hopper said he requested the rest of the residents named in the case be dismissed because he discovered they did not have contracts with Nations Energy Solutions, the company exploring the possibility of building the wind turbine farm. Terra Gen, the other company named in the lawsuit, and Nations are the last two defendants in the case.
GADSDEN, Alabama -- The lawyer for a Texas-based company abandoning plans for two windmill farms in northeast Alabama said today that recently approved state regulations on wind energy led to the decision.
Attorney Charles Stewart, representing Pioneer Green, said the project has been canceled in both Etowah and Cherokee counties. He said after legislation was passed establishing parameters for any wind turbine project, including setback lines and permitting through the Public Service Commission, “they couldn’t make the project work.”
According to a document filed July 9 in Cherokee County Probate Court, Pioneer Green Energy President Andrew Bowman signed a memorandum terminating a lease to about 1,889 acres of property. ..."The residents are ecstatic. It was only when we learned that the leases had been terminated that we knew it was really over."
Three communities, Gadsden, Ala., Kokomo, Ind., and Tipton, Ind., all with an identical problem, separated by miles and in a seemingly hopeless situation, have prevailed in a common effort. Voices of concerned citizens ended projects detrimental to many and beneficial to the few.
The lawsuit was filed June 2 by neighbors of the properties being explored as possible sites for wind turbines. The lawsuit states that the project “will destroy some of Cleburne County’s most scenic areas,” as well as diminish area property values, and cause irreparable harm to the adjoining landowners due to flashing blades, low frequency noise, wind turbine syndrome and space and motion discomfort.
If Etowah politicians allow wind farms — maybe not now, but later after all residents have experienced the social damage these monstrosities cause — political careers will be in jeopardy. ...The citizens of Kokomo and Howard County have seen the enemy and do not like it. Gadsden and Etowah County have yet to witness these prodigious Frankenstein monsters.
Now, a proposed wind turbine project atop Turkey Heaven Mountain may alter those views, adding spinning blades atop large towers that turn wind into electricity. ...The proposal has drawn heated opposition from some residents at public meetings, and left at least one family split on the issue.
Commissioner Benji Langley created the proposal, which among other things would have directed Chairman Ryan Robertson to write a letter to the governor and local legislators to ask for a three-year moratorium on wind energy projects in the state. It additionally asked the commissioners to state that they would not now or in the future close or re-route County Road 852, the main road up Turkey Heaven Mountain.
Opponents of wind farms in Cleburne County say they will not give up their fight to keep them out of their area. Many of them attended a county commission meeting on Monday.
Arguing on the House floor, [AL state Rep. Becky] Nordgren said she considers the wind resources in Alabama to be too low to support wind turbines. She also says the turbines are noisy and dangerous. What’s more, the wind industry needs to be regulated like other industries, she said.
Rep. Nordgren said that her bill, H.B. 106, never got on the agenda in committee and she was not invited to the negotiations. She lives on Shinbone Ridge in Etowah County where the wind turbines are located and the Committee version of the legislation would not have prevented the Turbines from being built in her neighborhood, but her substitute bill would.
A bill going through the Alabama Legislature that would regulate wind power might put an end to two wind turbine projects that have been in the works in Etowah and Cherokee counties for more than three years. There are also two local bills that have been passed by both chambers of the state Legislature that Williams described as “backstop” bills to stop the projects in case the state bill doesn’t pass.
The bills regulate the permitting and process, the setbacks from property lines needed for construction, decibel limits and bonding and land restoration regulations for the removal of wind turbines when a project ends, whether through the end of its life or abandonment.
An Oklahoma-based developer has been studying Turkey Heaven Mountain in Cleburne County as a potential site for a wind farm since early 2011.

Russian investors and Montenegro officials are heading to arbitration over an aluminium plant.
By Nedjeljko Rudovic for Southeast European Times in Podgorica -- 03/03/14
Kombinat Aluminijuma Podgorica has been bankrupt since 2013. [Kombinat Aluminijuma Podgorica]
As the sale of the assets of Kombinat Aluminijuma Podgorica opens, the conflict between officials in Podgorica and the Russian investors who initially bought the plant has been taken to Brussels.
On February 20th, bidding opened to sell the company's infrastructure at an initial price of 28 million euros, which will be used to pay off part of the company debts.
Russia's Central European Aluminium Company bought 65.4 percent of Kombinat Aluminijuma Podgorica in 2005, and it fell into bankruptcy last year.
Due to accumulated debts of 350 million euros, the Montenegro Commercial Court opened bankruptcy proceedings in July 2013, and ordered the sale of the assets of Kombinat Aluminijuma Podgorica, which were estimated at 52 million euros.
Kombinat Aluminijuma Podgorica, as the country's largest exporter, represents 15 percent of the country's GDP.
Earlier this month, the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling for Podgorica to quickly resolve the dispute. The EU emphasised the need for a transparent process in resolving commercial disputes without any political interference and based on the rule of law.
The EU Delegation in Podgorica said it will closely monitor what is happening.
"If there are systematic problems in the area of rule of law and public administration, we will address these issues in the context of Montenegro's EU accession negotiations," Dragan Mugoša, spokesperson for EU Delegation in Montenegro, told SETimes.
The investor group claims its interest has been harmed, and that the bankruptcy proceedings took place in violation of regulations. The group is seeking to recover its investments in the Montenegrin company, in the neighbourhood of 120 million euros. The group has launched arbitration proceedings in Vienna.
Matias Menke, the Central European Aluminium Company representative for arbitration proceedings, said the aim of the group was to make Kombinat Aluminijuma Podgorica the leading producer of aluminium in Central Europe.
"To achieve this goal, the company has invested huge funds in Kombinat Aluminijuma Podgorica and Montenegro. However, all the efforts of the Central European Aluminium Company have been thwarted by the activities of the government of Montenegro. Upon purchasing the factory [in 2005], the government submitted unsound financial testimony for Kombinat Aluminijuma Podgorica. Then [the investment group] was unreasonably deprived of the possibility of building energy capacity to provide their own source of electricity for Kombinat Aluminijuma Podgorica," Menke said.
But a government spokeswoman said officials have done nothing wrong.
"Each state is required to provide a legal framework for the effective implementation of foreign investment, but the government cannot be responsible for their work or their losses. Given that the government has fully complied with the legal requirements in relation to the Russian company, arbitration or litigation cannot affect negotiations between Montenegro and the EU," Marina Zivaljevic, a spokeswoman for the ministry of economy, told SETimes.
Complicating the issue is the fact that Montenegro has given millions of euros in state aid to the company, which could be the subject of additional problems with the EU.
The state has been subsidising electricity for Kombinat Aluminijuma Podgorica since 2009, which costs tens of millions of euros per year, because the company is unprofitable. The company is responsible for 40 percent of the nation's energy consumption.
"The European Commission's current assessment is that a continuation of the electricity subsidies, outside of any restructuring plan, would constitute operating aid, which is in principle prohibited under EU state aid rules," Mugosa told SETimes.
How should the Montenegro aluminium plant dispute resolved? Join the conversation below.


First of all, congratulations to Shin-Shin, a panda who recently had her last day on public display as keepers at her Tokyo zoo suspect she may be pregnant. I'm not exactly sure what pregnancy in a panda looks like, but judging from this video, I may be pregnant, too. She just looks so darn happy living her panda life. Check her out:
Shin Shin has been stuffing her face with bamboo like she just started her cheat day, eating every stick in her enclosure, and she looks happier than a kid in a candy store as she downs limitless amounts of food. Seems she's prepping for a little something eh?
Basically, we can all relate to Shin Shin:
Meanwhile, the city of Toronto just welcomed some new babies onto the scene. They don't look anything like Shin Shin's prospective fetus, except for being very small and cute. On May 18, three snow leopard cubs were welcomed, five days after two clouded leopard cubs were born at the Toronto Zoo. That was two weeks after the birth of five cheetah cubs, making 53 born on the compound.
But, lest we get too caught up in the positive news about babies and adorable animals, the Toronto Zoo is currently dealing with a strike from its zookeepers. Apparently, taking care of all these animals isn't the respected job it should be. Members of CUPE Local 1600 started forming picket lines in early May, saying they don't have the job security they deserve:
While most of us would probably play with the zoo animals for free, it probably wouldn't be good for them. These babies deserve the best care in the world, so hopefully the zoo meets their worker's demands soon. Shin Shin is fine, though right.

The recent momentum generated by Indiana and New York’s approval of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact may not be enough to convince a few lawmakers in Ohio and Wisconsin to follow suit. Legislators in the two states, currently a battlefield for the democratic presidential nominating process, are also stymieing the compact over last minute legalistic arguments. At stake is the ability of the Great Lakes states to keep the water in the Great Lakes, as well as limit invasive species and ecological devastation.
“This is a shortsighted move that places the special interests of a few over the water security needs of more than 40 million people and the economic vitality of the region,” Molly Flanagan, the National Wildlife Federation’s Great Lakes water program manager told the Toledo Blade. “This amounts to a hijacking of the compact that jeopardizes the region’s ability to protect the Great Lakes.”
But some Ohio Senators feel that former Gov. Bob Taft, who led the four-year long Great Lakes governors’ compact negotiations, signed off on a flawed agreement, according to the Associated Press. They fear that by including tributaries and streams in the Great Lakes basin they are opening up their Northern border counties to Big Government. Their fears are unfounded and their solutions misguided. The Senators would like to change the wording of the compact in the Senate version before agreeing to it, but the Ohio House overwhelmingly (88-3) approved the original and formerly agreed to version of the Compact today as have half the state legislatures in the region.
Last week the Indiana House agreed with the Senate and passed the Compact that will prevent water from being diverted from the region and aid in efforts to stem pollution and invasive species. Now, Governor Mitch Daniels has ten days to sign the compact and Indiana will join Minnesota and Illinois whose lawmakers previously approved the agreement.
The week prior, the New York legislature also approved the Compact -one week after the state Senate- and it is now sitting on Governor Eliot Spitzer’s desk awaiting his signature. Once pen is put to paper, we are half-way to having the compact adopted by all eight states. Legislation is pending in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Michigan. It is mind boggling that states are stalling on this – as it will give them the negotiating power they need to manage the Great Lakes and prevent outsiders from taking the water.
Once all eight states approve the Compact, Congress will have to ratify the decision and make it law. The right decision would send a powerful message to the leading candidates vying for Wisconsin and Ohio’s primary votes that this is an issue of utmost significance to each state’s lawmaking bodies and public.

CFM International (CFM) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) have signed a commercial settlement agreement concerning CFM’s MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) policies and activities.
Under the terms of this agreement, CFM reaffirms its commitment to maintain and foster robust and open competition within the MRO market, as well as the competitive nature of its MRO model, which serves as a reference in the jet engine industry and has been a key element in the ongoing success of the CFM product line.
As part of this agreement, CFM has published its Conduct Policies and associated Implementing Measures, specifying its product support policy and guidelines related to such aspects as licensing, warranties, servicing, technical support, repairs, communication, and contracting. These documents help to confirm, clarify, and complement CFM’s aftermarket practices.
CFM expects that the resulting publication of the Conduct Policies and Implementing Measures will facilitate the awareness of CFM’s principles with its customers and support IATA’s intent to expand the application of such policies to other stakeholders in the aerospace industry.
“This agreement reflects CFM’s strategy to promote competitive MRO services and its continuous commitment to customer satisfaction,” said Gaël Meheust, President and CEO of CFM International.
“Airlines spend a tremendous amount of money on the maintenance and repair of aircraft and engines to ensure we are always operating to the highest levels of safety and reliability. This milestone agreement with CFM will lead to increased competition among the providers of parts and services related to the servicing of CFM engines,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO.
“We expect increased competition will reduce airline operating costs and help to keep flying affordable. And we hope that this agreement will be an example for other manufacturers to follow,” he added.

In a first for Canadians, a river in Côte-Nord, Que., has been granted legal personhood by the local municipality of Minganie and the Innu Council of Ekuanitshit.
The Magpie River, (Muteshekau-shipu in the Innu Coet) is an internationally renowned whitewater rafting site, winding nearly 300 kilometres before emptying into the St. Lawrence. The river has one hydroelectric dam managed by Hydro-Québec, and environmental groups have long sought a permanent solution to protect the river from further disruption.
It is unclear how this will affect attempts to build developments on the river, including dams, moving forward, as legal personhood for nature doesn’t exist in Canadian law and could be challenged in court. Minganie, Innu council and several environmental groups — collectively called the Alliance — hope international precedents set in New Zealand, Ecuador and several other countries will help pressure the Quebec government to formally protect the river.
“This is a way for us to take matters into our own hands and stop waiting for the Quebec government to protect this unique river,” explained Alain Branchaud, executive director of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, Quebec chapter. “After a decade of our message falling on deaf ears in government, the Magpie River is now protected as a legal person.”
In accordance with Innu customs and practices, the Alliance has granted the river nine rights: 1) the right to flow; 2) the right to respect for its cycles; 3) the right for its natural evolution to be protected and preserved; 4) the right to maintain its natural biodiversity; 5) the right to fulfil its essential functions within its ecosystem; 6) the right to maintain its integrity; 7) the right to be safe from pollution; 8) the right to regenerate and be restored; and perhaps most importantly, 9) the right to sue.

Installing Top Plate for Basement Walls
With the Ridgid Framing Nailer out of the box, it was time to try it out on the Top Plates for my walls. I must admit, there is a bit of a learning curve with using a tool like this, being that I've never used an air nailer before in my life.
One thing I quickly discovered was that I was jamming up quite frequently. I've fixed it now, but in this video (and the next couple) I just wasn't comfortable enough to play with the tool. Once I became comfortable enough to look at how it actually works, I did locate where my problem was and fixed it.
The descriptions on the instructions wasn't really a help to fixing this issue. Didn't even see a YouTube video showing me how to resolve it (so I might make one). Just an hour of me sitting there, looking at the tool and trying to figure out what everything does, and I found what I was confident the fix was. After making my adjustments, all it did was jam, this told me I was on the right path, I had just turned it the wrong way. Turned it the other way, and no more jams, issue resolved, problem fixed and the rest of that went up without a single jam.
Absolutely loving this tool.

And one lonely daughter never fully accepted that she was in darkness, and clung to the smallest things she could find to stay in belief of this. Darkness is something that holds onto every life, and every life has a different way to overcome it, adjust to it, and most never fully accept that it is apart of their lives, and go on believing that everything is okay. If one does not accept that darkness is within that, surrounding them, or apart of their lives in some way, then they will always live in constant misery, whether knowing or
Curley's Wife begins to talk about how Curley ignores her and only talks about what he is going to do to other guys and how she sits there and listens to him all day as if she does not matter to him (Steinbeck 78). When they are together he only talks about himself, she does not have someone else to talk to, someone to tell how her day was, no one to share stories with. Curley does not care about her he is always out but does not want her talking to anyone else, he expects her to be lonely. Curley's wife has a husband but she does not have a friend, she is left with someone who doesn't care about her at all. Curley's wife is the loneliest character because her husband does not pay attention to her.
Another factor is that her old husband was healing Dimmsdale, her ‘illegitimate’ lover. Hester and her daughter Pearl lived with mistrust, the townspeople were disgusted by her, and would never trust her even after her sentence was lifted. Relationships can stand on the grounds of mistrust and isolation, but they may never thrive on it due to the fact of trust and companionship being the key factors in a relationship. This was shown throughout both The Scarlett Letter and Ethan Frome in a variety of ways, including the lack of true companionship in both novels and also the complete lack of trust held by some characters in both
In “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the female narrator is greatly troubled by the suppression of her imagination by her husband and her ultimate isolation due to this subordination. These feelings are reflected through the author’s use of setting as the narrator’s dreary and malicious descriptions of the house and the wallpaper mirrors her emotional position. Throughout the reading, the reader is exposed to the narrator’s in-depth loss of touch with reality as she sinks further and further into her own reality. As she becomes more isolated, her descriptions of the house become more abstract as she begins to focus on the wallpaper and starts to see herself as being hidden behind it. In the beginning of the story, she describes
In William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily,” the protagonist, Miss Emily Grierson, is faced with challenges that leave her no choice but to find a way to escape the internal struggle of loneliness created by her own actions, leading to self-inflicted destruction. Looking in on the surface, the female character is imprisoned by the repressiveness of her father. While he played a huge role in causing Emily’s mental state to deteriorate, it was ultimately the consequences of her own self-control that confined her mind. Because of her poor choices, Emily lives in misery instead of rescuing herself from such damaging chains of sorrow. Throughout the text, it is evident that the overall conflict in “A Rose for Emily” was driven by self-deprecation
This theme is subtly shown throughout the story, but becomes more apparent after the main event, the slaughter. After Date Bed is presumed missing, Mud, despite the fact that she is not of She-S blood, shows concern for her friend and adopted family member throughout the story – “It is just as well that Mud’s thoughts can’t be heard because what she is thinking is, “I’m the one who loves her. None of you loves her as I do,” and the uselessness of her love arouses her to such a pitch of anguish that she thinks of returning to the plain and searching for Date Bed on her own” (Gowdy, 105). The other She-S’s feel the same way as well – She-Snorts states, “I would not go to The Safe Place…knowing that Date Bed might still be alive and lost” (Gowdy, 249). If the She-S’s didn’t care for their family as much, they would have abandoned all thought of Date Bed and wouldn’t bother searching for her.
Curley’s wife ‘can’t talk to nobody but curley. Else he gets mad.’ Being lonely all the time, she wants to have someone to talk to instead of just taking care of the house. Moreover, this characters foreshadows the ending of the story. In the beginning, George and Lennie left Weed as Lennie scared a woman by touching her dress. The way Curley’s wife treats George and Lennie leads to the ending of the story.
She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved anyone except me" (130). Myrtle on the other hand is having affairs with Tom in order to feel the satisfaction of being in the upper class. Myrtle loved her husband Mr. Wilson when they got married, but she got very disappointed by her husband’s lack of money and the social status that she is suffering in for eleven years. Now she is regretting the day she married with him, her sister Catharine says “She really ought to get away from him.
In the second paragraph of the story the author states that she is suffering because she doesn't have the things she wants by saying, “She suffered endlessly, feeling herself born for every delicacy and luxury. She suffered from the poorness of her house, from its mean walls, worn chairs, and ugly curtains.” (Guy de Maupassant 2) “She had no clothes, no jewels, nothing. And these were the only things she loved;” (Guy de Maupassant 2) The author included this to let the readers know what kind of “Poverty” Matilde was living in. Mathilde doesn't seem to love her husband as much. He thinks different about her.
However, at some point she becomes dissatisfied with what society has placed on her. She looks outside her family for the fulfillment of her personal needs. Perhaps her marriage became empty and passions faded with the increasing duties of motherhood. Maybe Edna was not a nurturer and motherhood left her feeling lonely and unfulfilled. Her husband compares her to the women he sees, particularly Madame Adele, who dotes on her children and worships her husband.
Accused of being a “tart,” the lonesome woman felt trapped and forlorn in a loveless marriage with no friends or family by her side. Furthermore, she experienced distress because of the lack of support from her mother and the absence of hope for a joyful, extravagant future. As the only woman in the story, many readers can relate to her pain and
"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!--prophet still, if bird or devil! Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate, yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted-- On this home by horror haunted--tell me truly, I implore: Is there--is there balm in Gilead?--tell me--tell me I implore!" Quoth the raven, "Nevermore." "Prophet!"
Restricted in movement and stripped of her opinion by her husband, the narrator forms an obsession with the obscure background pattern that “skulks behind that silly and conspicuous front design” (80) on the wallpaper. As the dim shapes become more distinct, she ultimately deciphers the true figure to be a woman. This is a metaphor for the realization of her mental and physical entrapment as she proceeds into a state of insanity. The intensive need for helping the woman escape reflects the need for her own liberation. As the woman quickly flees upon her release, the narrator refuses to follow as she is so unaccustomed to the “green instead of yellow” (89).
“She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved anyone except me” (Fitzgerald 116). Fitzgerald wrote Gatsby with language that gave the reader the attitude that Gatsby was not willing to accept any other truth about his love for Daisy. This language allowed the reader to infer that Gatsby did not want to accept the reality that she loved somebody else. Fitzgerald did this to show how “Gatsby” or society was ignorant of reality because
(Marchetta, 95) The Italians judge her as she is already a disgrace for going against their values and beliefs. She feels restricted from the pressures and that her life doesn’t belong to her. She is pressured to make a good impression that will reflect on her family, in return she never is able to be happy will her life for she never wants to make another mistake again. Therefore Christina is affected by obligations and expectations of her family and culture, which in return influence her life and decisions and make her feel alone and isolated without a voice. Secondly, John Barton faces stress, depression and commits suicide from the pressures of having to uphold his reputation, achieving his parents’ expectations, and being perfect to society.


A second comprehensive, statewide survey has found only minimal amounts of pesticides in North Dakota rivers. “The 2010 surface water monitoring program shows North Dakota’s rivers and streams have minimal pesticide contamination – just trace amounts of nine commonly used products,” said Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring, who released the survey Monday.

The Senate Agriculture Committee will hear public testimony on a bill that would prohibit state funding from being used to match federal dollars without the approval of the state legislature for the Northern Plains National Heritage Area. The hearing is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 21 at 10 a.m. The session is set for the Roosevelt Park Room at the State Capitol.
An editorial by Stewart Truelsen - What a difference the right adjective makes. Put the modifier “family” in front of “farm” and the words mean more than just a farm that is family owned-and-operated. “Family farm” evokes warm, nostalgic feelings with farmers and non-farmers alike. You can just picture yourself as a child running across a farmyard to a big white house because mother is ringing the dinner bell.
Asserting that the Environmental Protection Agency is “implementing an aggressive regulatory program that burdens the nation’s farmers and ranchers,” delegates at the American Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting urged Congress to “pursue vigorous oversight” of the agency.
A group of North Dakotans headed to Atlanta, Georgia, for the 92nd American Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting last week. Some of them are still trying to make it home due to the big freeze that hit the area on Sunday morning and pretty much closed down the city.

Q. What boats are welcome in the SCMBC?
A. Boats of all types are welcome into the club, unfortunately internal combustion powered craft are prohibited by the lake management so they can't be used on the lake. Members of the club own a variety of scale craft including tugs, trawlers, warships, steamboats, sailboats, speedboats and many others.
Q. How do I join the club and what does it cost to join?
A. Refer to how to join and fee structure in the membership drop down file. The membership fees cover the provision of rescue boat, public liability insurance, etc.
Q. Where do I start?
A. Visit the model boating club, have a look at what’s going on, look at the different types of models and talk to the members. Ask questions and gain information from the members from their trials and tribulations. Read some of the model boating magazines that are available. Research is the key to success. When you have a good idea of what you like, style and size, construction type. Now the battle is half over.
Q. How do I get started?
A. You can purchase a completed ready to run boat from a model retail outlet or purchase a second-hand model. If you want to build your own boat there are two options, there are various kits or scratch build from plans. Building your own is getting easier with a large range of model kits available from a range of designers. There are now many companies where you can purchase plans, accessories, tools and materials to get you started into model shipbuilding.
Q. What is the difference between scale models, model yachts and speed boats?
These are always of interest because they represent "The Real Thing" and their movement can be re-created as a model boat on the water. Present club members have a large variety of scale models ranging in size from a 1/72th scale battleship to a 1/6th scale runabouts. Many of the club’s models are based on the real boats
For a newcomer there are several ways to start building a scale model;
1) Buying a complete kit and adding radio gear and motors.
2) Buying a fibreglass hull and a set of plans and completing the boat by buying or making the superstructure and individual fittings.
3) "Scratch" building a boat from a set of plans; some modellers even draw up their own plans and build the engines to power their models.
Model yachting is one of the oldest "hobbies" around. Its origins go back to the late 19th century and has had many highs and lows over the years. At present interest is reviving in both vintage boats and the modern radio-controlled yachts.
There are two main categories of sailing vessels. The scale models which range from early gaff-rigged craft, schooners, square riggers through to modern scale model yachts, then there is the racing style of sail craft which come in many forms also. If you wish to progress further there are clubs and events that cater for all types of competitive yachts, whilst these other locations have "Class Racing" which means all the boats in a race must meet certain rules.
Speed fascinates most people at some time, although generally in the younger age range in the first instance but once bitten, you "Get the Bug". The club has a few of these "speed merchants" with fast electric powered models. The speed boats themselves vary in styles from pleasure launches, runabouts, true scale speed vessels through to the full-on racing hydroplanes and catamarans. These can be bought as a complete ready to run commercial package including all RC equipment or kits, scratch builds or a fibreglass hull to which you add your own drive-line and electronic systems.
Q. What does it cost to build or buy a boat?
A. That depends on several factors:
1. Size and style.
2. If you want to start with a commercial Ready to Run model.
3. Your own building skills; you can make several fittings yourself;
4. Are you building from scratch?
5. Are you building a kit?
6. Are you buying second hand?
7. Are you building a class boat?
8. Do you have R/C gear already?
9. What power source Steam, Electric or Sail?
10. How serious do you intend to get?
Kits, both power and sail, start at prices under $200, some with or without radio gear and sail boats can go up to $1000’s. To this add the cost of a two-channel radio, about $100 and batteries, etc. In most cases you can be on the water for well under $500 and scratch-built boats for under $200 all up.
Used boats often come up "fore sail" in clubs, and don't forget the classified adds, the Trading Post Newspaper and, if you are willing to risk buying sight-un-seen, the internet.
Q How long does it take to build a boat?
A. This depends on a few things:
1. The type of boat;
2. The amount of detail you want to use and functions installed;
3. Scratch building;
4. Building a kit.
If you are scratch building, you can spend years building something like the QE2 or a couple of months building something that floats and looks good on the water, from ten metres away. Kits take less time and can be assembled in a few days or weeks depending on the number of hours you have spare in a day. Some kits have so much work already done for you they can be put together over night.
Q. Can I do this?
A. If you can read basic instructions, you can build any entry-level kit boat. These would be on a par with some of the more complex plastic kits most people build as kids. As your skills improve you can acquire more challenging kits or begin scratch building models from plans or your own imagination.
Q. Where do I get information?
A. Be a sponge, go to club days and regattas, ask questions, take photos and ask for advice, most members are willing to help or point you to someone who can. Google and YouTube can be a good source of information also. Take your boat with you and have club members critique your work. Most modellers will remember when they were in your shoes and will give you the benefit of their experience. Go out, get started, and have fun thats what it is all about.
