Best Scope For 450 Bushmaster: Buying Guide
Your chances of hitting your targets accurately, whether close, medium, or long distances, are greatly affected by your magnification level.
A 450 Bushmaster scope with variable magnification is widespread among shooters because it provides sufficient magnification levels regardless of yardage. Having a higher magnification when shooting long distances will be more useful and dependable.
For most hunting applications, a range of 3-9x magnification is sufficient. A variable optic or a red dot sight is ideal for short to medium-range shooting. It gives you a wider field of view, making sighting easier and faster.
It’s best to choose a Bushmaster scope with variable brightness settings and illuminated reticles so you can shoot in low light.
The Leupold scope, for example, has a light management system for producing impeccably bright and clear images in any lighting conditions.
There are scopes or red dot sights that can automatically adjust their brightness. The scope automatically adjusts the illumination based on the current lighting conditions, so you don’t need to click any buttons to adjust it. There are also some scopes that support night vision.
The cost of accessories for a 450 Bushmaster such as a red dot or rifle scope can be high. A rifle scope’s price depends on several factors, including brand, model, construction, yardage, and technological features.
You can find scope for a 450 Bushmaster at a reasonable price with excellent quality and performance. It is wiser and more economical to choose a scope that is guaranteed to be durable and reliable even if it is not from a luxurious manufacturer.
It is much more important to have good shooting skills and a quality firearm than the cost of your scope to hit targets dead-on.
Many scopes have electronic components that batteries must power. Generally, the more electronic features a scope has, the shorter its battery life.
Battery life may last for more than a hundred hours with simple and basic scopes or red-dot sights, but battery life may only last for several hours with more technologically advanced scopes.
With a more advanced hunting scope, you should carry some extra batteries while on the field so that extending your shooting time won’t be a hassle.
Considering buying a high-tech scope for your 450 Bushmaster, you should consider one with an auto-off mode or a shake-to-wake feature that will extend battery life.
Gun accessories are valuable investments that we want to last as long as possible. Choose a scope for 450 Bushmaster made of high-quality materials. Aluminum is often the material of choice for durability and ruggedness.
Durable scopes should be able to withstand powerful recoils. Many well-known, tough, and highly rugged scopes have lifetime warranties. It’s best to opt for them.
450 Bushmaster scopes can be exposed to harsh environments and weather conditions. Pick the best one with multi-coated lenses and high-quality optical components. With a waterproof and fog-resistant scope, you can acquire targets in any weather.
Scopes can be beneficial for increasing your accuracy and confidence while taking a shot, especially when shooting down big games at long distances.
450 Bushmasters are regarded as medium-to-long-range scopes. In this case, it is best to use a hunting scope that can function well at varying distances and handle potent recoils without losing zero.
It can be overwhelming to select the proper scope for a 450 Bushmaster because there are so many options on the market. You should consider several factors and read online reviews or consult a few gun experts to narrow your selections.
Eye relief is the distance between the scope and your eye that allows you to see the entire target without distortion. 450 Bushmasters have heavy recoils, so you need a scope with generous or broad eye relief.
It’s best to go for scopes that offer unlimited eye relief. Nonetheless, many of these scopes aren’t as good as those tested so far for a 450 Bushmaster.
The scopes in this review have consistent and generous eye relief at 100 yards, which is sufficient for any shooting or hunting scenario.
Rifle Scope Maintainance Tips
- Powders and solvents used to clean guns can damage the lenses and the waterproof seals. That’s why you should keep the scope’s cap on while cleaning the gun.
- Microfiber cloths and water often clean lenses well, but not always. You might need something stronger in these situations. This isn’t Windex since it can damage the lens coating. It would be best to try lens or eyeglass cleaner, but do not spray them directly on the lens.
- If you use toilet tissue, paper towel, or Kleenex to clean your lens, you may scratch the coating. To clean your lens, use a microfiber cloth. Consider using one.
- Please don’t lose the cap while walking in a hunting spot or getting out of it. Otherwise, the scope might pick up a lot of dirt. Additionally, this protects the scope from rain as well.
- The turrets will also need attention. When hunting in wet or windy conditions, keep them clean to avoid rusting.
- If the scope has any dirt, don’t use your shirt to clean it. You should always keep a microfiber cloth or LensPen in your pocket for instant cleaning.
- Keep the battery compartment clean when you have a battery-powered scope. If water gets in contact with the battery in any way, it can start corroding sooner or later.
- There are times when microfiber cloths can’t reach every nook and cranny. To clean them, use Q-tips.
- The lens should not be cleaned frequently as overdoing it can also scratch it.
What distance should I sight in my 450 bushmaster?
Hunters and tactical shooters widely prefer the Burris Fullfield E1 3-9×40 Rifle Scope because of its pinpoint accuracy and functionality. This is a great scope for the Bushmaster 450.
How much does a 450 Bushmaster drop at 200 yards?
At 100 yards, sight it in 1.5 inches high. Using this method, you can be sure to hit the point of impact. Without worrying about what BDC reticle to use or how accurate the distance is, you can hold the reticle dead on. At 200 yards, the bullet will be about 4.5 inches low. You can hold the scope higher for longer shots, and the round will still hit the kill zone.
What scope should I put on my 450 Bushmaster?
A high bullet velocity results in a flat trajectory of 200 yards for the 450 Bushmaster. If your firearm is zeroed at 150 yards, a drop of 4.9 inches can be expected at 200 yards.


PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins' goalie debate will continue until at least Tuesday morning.
Penguins coach Mike Sullivan did not announce if Marc-Andre Fleury or Matt Murray would be the starting goalie in Pittsburgh's must-win Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final when he met with the media before boarding the charter flight to Tampa on Monday.
The Tampa Bay Lightning lead the best-of-7 series 3-2 and can close it out in Game 6 at Amalie Arena on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVA Sports).
"I'll have a decision in the morning," Sullivan said.
Sullivan called the decision a "tough one" to make.
"It's just a tough circumstance," he said. "We believe in the guys that we have. We think we have quality people. But it's an imperfect situation so all things considered we're trying to make the best decisions that we can, that we think give the best chance to win. That's what we do and that's what we go with. We'll continue to do that."
Video: Picking Pittsburgh's Game 6 Goalie
Sullivan thought Fleury gave the Penguins the best chance to win Game 5 on Sunday, but he allowed four goals on 25 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss. It was his first start since March 31.
Sullivan balked when asked if the time off was too much for Fleury to overcome.
"That's a tough question to answer," Sullivan said.
Sullivan said he felt Fleury had a strong start to the game, but he felt the game "got away from him a little bit" as it wore on.
Fleury allowed the four goals on the last 14 shots he faced.
"To Marc's defense, it's a tough situation when you haven't played in a long time and you get thrown into a high-stakes environment like that," Sullivan said. "But I thought early on in the game he looked really strong, he was tracking the puck well."
Fleury's teammates came to his defense.
"I think he played well," center Evgeni Malkin said. "I mean, he saved it two times for sure. Yeah, I think it's a tough game for everyone [Sunday], but I think Marc-Andre played very well."

Murray, 21, started the previous 13 games before being benched for Game 5. He is 3-3 with a .892 save percentage in his past six starts after going 6-1 with a .944 save percentage in his first seven starts of the playoffs.
Sullivan said before Game 5 that his confidence in Murray has not wavered and he would expect a strong performance if he had to go back to him.
"We've got a resilient group here that's shown a lot of resolve through a ton of adversity throughout the course of this season," Sullivan said. "I don't know that there's a team in the League that's faced more adversity than this team from the start of training camp until where we are today. And so these guys have shown their resilience time and time again. Probably now it'll be tested more than ever, but I certainly believe in this group we have. I think we've got a great group that's going to respond the right way."

The interchangeable parts between the 1st gen Frontier and 1st gen Xterra are infinite. For the body and interior, imagine a line drawn along the back of the front seats and and everything forward is the same or interchageable. Engine and drivetrain is all the same and front suspension is the same. We also have like drivetrain and suspension parts with all the hardbody years(pickups and pathfinders) and the tailgate is interchangeable with the hardbody tailgate too. 3rd generation Pathfinder with the 3.3L also has like engine components and few like drivetrain parts.
Please note when I say parts are interchangeable there are a few exceptions, the biggest being that most drivetrain parts are not the same between the 4cyls and 6cyls. The difference in engine components goes without saying.
I don't know if you have seen my project but I think you would enjoy this, the Nissan Fronterra... I did an Xterra front end swap and then went with fiberglass all around.

Nicolas Sarkozy, the former president of France, has been re-convicted and sentenced to prison.
On Thursday, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was found guilty and sentenced to a year in prison for violating campaign financing laws during his unsuccessful re-election effort nearly a decade ago — his second conviction this year.
Sarkozy infringed campaign finance laws by exceeding a tight cap on political expenditure during his 2012 campaign, according to a French court.
Candidates could only spend a certain amount on their campaigns under French legislation at the time. Sarkozy allegedly spent about twice the legal limit, according to prosecutors.
He was also accused of using a public relations firm to conceal his genuine spending.
Sarkozy’s lawyer announced immediately after the judgment and sentencing on Thursday that he will appeal.
Most experts believe that Sarkozy will not have to serve his sentence in prison. He could be able to serve his sentence under house arrest.
Sarkozy has denied any involvement in the logistics or finance of his campaign, claiming that those responsibilities were outsourced to others on his staff.
However, the judge in the case dismissed such argument.
According to CNN, Nicolas Sarkozy stated, “Nicolas Sarkozy knew the spending limit.” “He knew he shouldn’t go over.”
Sarkozy was convicted of a crime and sentenced to prison for the second time this year on Thursday.
In March, the former French president was sentenced to three years in prison, with two years suspended, for attempting to bribe a judge to pass over sensitive material in a legal investigation. In the case, he also denied any misconduct.
Sarkozy is the first and only French president to be convicted of a crime twice, and there may be more. Prosecutors in France are looking into allegations that former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi illegally aided Sarkozy’s presidential campaign in 2007.

What indeed of the "trans take"
some recommended resources on understanding Dr. James Barry as a trans man
To start us off I decided to put together a short list of good posts and a podcast that discusses Dr. James Barry as a trans man. Even now people actually taking a trans reading of Barry seriously are few and far between but this is a good place to start.
Dr. James Barry and the specter of trans and queer history by David Obermayer (EE Ottoman)This is the article I wrote on interpreting Barry as a trans in 2015. It looks at Barry's life and goes into why I think Barry had largely not been talked about as trans up until now.
“The Trans Take”: Towards a Transgender Public History by Jack Doyle This article is, in part, about E.J. Levy who, while announcing on social media that she was writing a book about Barry, misgendered him multiple times, insisted he was a woman and refused to interact seriously with any of the trans scholars who tried to engage with her. Jack Doyle however also lays out why Barry is important to trans history and how his life shines a spotlight on the limitations of our current historical methodologies.
Down With These So-Called “Gender Categories”! by Grace Lavery Lavery looks at the way that Levy, along with other writers, has talked about Barry and his gender and what that tells us about the ways we think about trans people in the past. Overall I think she makes a good argument that the language of 'resisting gender categories', which are often used by cis scholars when talking about Barry (and other historical figures like him) actually plays strongly into modern gender categories instead of resisting anything at all.
Dr James Barry and the Erasure of LGBTQ+ History by Sara Westrop This is a solid basic look at Barry from a trans perspective but it's really on this list because Jeremy Dronfield, who co-wrote an incredibly transphobic biography of Barry and often deadnames him, actually tweeted about how much he hated this article in particular.
Lady Science Podcast Episode 9: Trans and Queer Histories of Science by Anna Reser, Leila McNeill, and Rebecca Ortenberg This is a really good podcast episode on Dr. James Barry. Reser, McNeill and Ortenberg are very careful to be respectful of him as a queer trans man. They also use his story as a jumping off point to have a very thoughtful conversation about doing queer and trans history, the history of medicine and how to respect historical figures privacy and agency as we do it.
Monstrous regiment: how should we talk about those who dressed as men and went to war? By Catherine Baker While not only about Dr. James Barry Baker does mention him specifically as someone who should not, necessarily, be read as a cis woman. Mostly though this article is worth reading because Baker makes a strong argument for why trans history is NOT a threat to women's history and why these two branches of history should be working together to create more complex and nuanced historical methodologies.

Here’s What You Can Really Expect as an American
- by Lizabeth Paulat
- October 6, 2014
- 7:00 am
A new report shows America is one of the most overworked nations in the world with the fewest social benefits.
While most developed nations enjoy things like caps on the hours they have to work, paid vacation leave, paid sick leave and paid maternity leave, the United States does not mandate one, not one, of these benefits for American workers. We are literally the only country in North and South America combined that does not demand that companies pay when workers take parental leave.
On average, Americans work 134 more hours per year than Japan. When compared to Europe, that figure shoots up, ranging at 300-500 more hours per year.
In terms of schooling, more than 70% of students in America will go into debt while attending college. That debt average is $33,000 dollars.
Let’s compare: In Mexico, education costs around $5,077 per year. England hits around the $5,000 mark. New Zealand is around $3,000, Finland is around $1,000, Germany is about $930 and Norway is a measly $500. Watching American’s abroad compare their student loan debt with their new European friends is a sight to behold. Their mouths drop open in anger when they hear, “My debt? What debt?”
It’s a good thing we have all that employment to help us pay off all our loans. Except for those incredibly poor job prospects that have been facing graduates for years.
But hey, if you’re so lucky as to get a job, you better prepare yourself to devote the vast majority of your life to that job. After all, studies show that more than 85% of men and 65% of women work more than 40 hours a week. In return for this, you may or may not get a measly 2-3 weeks paid vacation (rarely allowed consecutively).
Other basics in life, such as healthcare, fail to benefit the average working American. America has some of the most expensive healthcare in the world. However, we rationalize this by praising the amazing quality of our healthcare. Well, this is not actually the case. In fact, when compared to Australia, Germany, France, Canada, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK, the United States ranked last in areas such as efficacy, access, efficiency and overall healthy lives.
Of course, healthcare isn’t just “free” in other countries. That money is taken out in taxes and Americans tend to have higher median incomes than Europeans, so there is some trade off, right? Well I guess so, providing a 33% wage hike is more important to you than overall quality of life.
Because when counties are ranked by quality of life (which uses around 10 factors to determine quality such as life expectancy, political freedoms, job security and gender equality), we see that in 2013, the United States ranked at #17. For comparison, The United States was actually #1 in 1988.
Then there is that pressing concern about the ever-growing wage gap. As much as we lament it, studies actually show most of us have no clue how bad it actually is. A new study funded by Harvard Business School asked thousands of people around the globe what they thought CEOs made yearly in comparison to the average worker.
Most in the USA guessed CEOs out earned average workers by 30-1. The real number? 354-1. This means that the average CEO income is $12 million/year compared to the median American worker salary of $34,000.
Yet how can American workers and citizens combat these disparities? Well one answer starts with government. Electing and supporting officials who are in favor of workers rights and paid leave is one answer. Creating independent workers unions, so employees have far more power, is another. Yet this is a complex problem that has taken decades to create, and will likely take decades to iron out.
This will also take an overhaul in American socialization. The idea that we’re all going to make it rich because hard work will lead to prosperity is a commonly held belief. This, by the way, has almost no factual basis in reality because the vast majority of wealth in America is inherited.
It’s called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it — George Carlin
Chances are, you will simply lead an average life with little to no significant wealth. Most people around the globe are pretty okay with this. Which is why instead of focusing on 80 hour work weeks to achieve a million dollar pipe dream, they focus on ensuring their government mandates vacation hours, fair employment, healthcare support and family leave for its people. You know, stuff that will actually benefit the vast majority of citizens in their average, daily lives. Something Americans should be far more concerned about than, say, the death tax taking 8% from our imaginary 5 million dollar estates.

Animal based fats are essential for dogs. They need fat for energy, to absorb fat soluble vitamins (vitamins E, A and D), protect the nerve fibers in the body and to protect the body from cold. Fat is also the ingredient found in food that makes it tasty for dogs.
Fat also contains essential fatty acids, such as omega 6 and omega 3. These help with healthy skin and coat. Dog’s deficient in these fats (most often omega 3) may show skin problems, seborrhea, dermatitis and poor hair coat. It is always important to add EPA fish oil capsules to any dog’s diet.

It’s become fairly obvious to most observers that the Israeli ploy as far as the Gaza is concerned has been to pressure and provoke the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to the point that their fighters react to the Israeli aerial and ground attacks and the ghettoising of the Strip. This will then provide an excuse for the Israelis to invade with the aim of ostensibly destroying Hamas, who the Israelis see as a ‘terrorist’ organisation, and ultimately driving all Palestinians from the Gaza on the basis that any Palestinians there will always be a security threat to Israel.
The Israeli propaganda and rhetoric places the blame for the suffering of the Gazan people on Hamas claiming that Israeli actions against the Gazan people is as a result of Hamas attacking Israel. The reality, however, is that Hamas is attacking Israel in an effort to stop Israel from attacking the Gaza in the first place and to get the Israelis to lift their blockade of the Gaza.
But the endgame for the Israelis is not just the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza; indeed, the invasion of the Gaza will only be a prelude to what Israelis see as the final confrontation with their arch-enemy, Iran. The Israeli hope is to coordinate their invasion of the Gaza Strip with an attack on Hezbollah which will be provoked by some action, real, or far more likely, imaginary or false flagged, that Hezbollah undertake against Israel. All-out war between Israel and Hamas and Hezbollah, so the Israelis hope, will then draw in Syria, then US, and then, hopefully, Iran who will be accused of supplying and arming Hezbollah in Lebanon.
As each stage of their march toward their final confrontation with Iran progresses the Israelis will, as always, present themselves as the victims; a role which has now become transparently obvious to the entire world. But, despite the transparency, Western governments will, as usual, acquiesce to Israeli demands that the rest of the world rush to protect Israel’s interest.
For years Israel has been playing a waiting game; a game whereby they simply bide their time waiting for all of the right circumstances to align in their favour and at that moment they will then strike. The George W. Bush administration with its massive neoconservative sub structure has provided the best opportunities yet for the Israelis to get their way in the Middle East but as yet the administration has failed to provide the Israelis the ultimate prize – the destruction of Iran as a competitive Middle East power that has so far prevented Israel from being able to vanquish their foes, Hamas, Hezbollah and Syria who are supported by Iran. There have been a few false starts, with the Second Lebanon War having been one of them, but time is now running out.
Despite now being a lame-duck president, Bush, one should be reminded, is still the Commander in Chief of US armed forces and he still has powers to wage war against anyone he sees as an enemy. Bush regards Iran as an enemy and Israel are keen to finalise their endgame with a final confrontation with Iran. The Gaza ploy may well be the springboard that Israel is looking for in order to realise that final confrontation.

Brave Benjamin and the Day of Reckoning
In a cozy town painted with the colors of laughter and whispers of adventure, there lived a spirited young boy named Benjamin. He had tousled chestnut hair that danced in the wind and a constellation of freckles scattered across his nose like tiny, brave soldiers. Every day, Benjamin wore a vibrant red cape that flowed behind him, and he believed with all his heart that this cape was the source of his courage. Greta, his wise old cat with grey-whiskers and enchanting green eyes, would often follow him around, her tail swaying like a graceful banner.
One sunny afternoon, as the birds sang songs of freedom and the trees rustled secrets to one another, Benjamin decided to embark on an adventure to the local park. Greta padded silently beside him, her eyes reflecting wisdom as old as time. The park was Benjamin's favorite place in the whole wide world; it was where he became Sir Benjamin, defender of playgrounds and champion of swing sets.
As Sir Benjamin climbed to the top of his beloved jungle gym fortress, he felt invincible looking out over his realm. His red cape fluttered like a flag claiming victory over his fears. Greta sat at the base of the jungle gym, her gaze fixed on Benjamin with pride shimmering in her eyes. She didn't need to meow; her presence alone spoke volumes to him.
But even in this land of make-believe bravery and fun-filled quests, there lurked a shadow that could chill any child's heart: Rufus—the local bully—a towering figure among boys with a perpetual scowl stitched upon his face and arms always crossed in challenge. Today was no different; Rufus approached the park with steps as heavy as thunderclouds threatening rain upon everyone's parade.
"Hey Red Cape!" Rufus bellowed across the playground, making other children pause their playtime chatter and look on with widened eyes. "What silly game are you playing today? Think you're some kind of hero?" His voice drilled into their ears like an unwelcome noise breaking into a beautiful melody.
Benjamin felt his heart skip beats like stones across water—ripplingly fast at first but sinking heavily soon after. He gripped onto one rung of jungle gym tighter than he'd ever held anything before; it seemed even Sir Benjamin could come face-to-face with fear so large it threatened to swallow him whole.
Greta sensed her friend's distress from down below and let out a soft purr—faint but filled with warmth—reminding Benjamin that she was there for him as she had always been. Even without words or grand gestures, Greta’s support was like an anchor in stormy seas for little Benjamin.
Drawing in the deepest breath he could muster through trembling lips, Sir Benjamin turned to face Rufus head-on—the way knights square off against dragons in stories told by flickering firesides at night. "I am playing at being brave," said Benjamin boldly but calmly too because true courage doesn’t always roar loud.
To everyone's surprise—including Rufus himself—a smile cracked through Rufus' tough exterior like sunlight piercing through clouds after rain. "Brave? I don't know what that feels like," replied Rufus softly—maybe too soft for anyone else to hear but just right for Sir Benjamin's ears.
Now something shifted in the air between them—a bridge being built plank by plank where there once stood only walls tall enough to cast shadows over hearts both young and old alike. "Would you… Would you want me to show you how?" asked Sir Benjamin gently extending out not only an invitation but also friendship disguised cleverly as words.
From then on magic happened—not the kind you read about or wish upon stars for—but real tangible magic woven from shared laughter open dialogues understanding hearts crossing divides thought too big ever to breach before they simply tried talking instead fighting; And slowly yet surely what began as confrontation became camaraderie personified fully real life entirely new friendship growing roots deeper every passing day play together-side by side instead apart adversaries no longer more profound companions each learning lending strength another ways large little unexpected same time teaching

ANNA, IL (KFVS) - Members of the Healthy Southern Illinois Delta Network met with the executives at Short Enterprises to talk about healthier food options in the children's menu at the Short family's nine McDonald's locations throughout Southern Illinois.
HSIDN wants the nine McDonald's to give apple dippers and white milk with every child meal instead of automatically giving fries and soda. The parents would then have to specifically request the higher calorie option.
"Making the healthy choice the easy choice is the first step in the right direction," says Toni Kay Wright, Registered Dietitian with SIUC Head Start. "McDonald's is a trend-setter and has the potential to start something extremely beneficial to children and their health."
The nine locations are in Anna, Carbondale, Murdale, Murphysboro, Du Quoin and Vienna.


Cargo Volume (All Seats Upright)
Cargo Volume (Utility Mode)
When it comes to cargo space, most drivers think in terms of raw numbers. Still, it goes without saying that most of the things you have to transport may not fit cleanly into a standard cargo bay or trunk! The Magic Seat was designed to meet just these challenges. With a few simple motions, you’ll be able to configure your HR-V’s interior into Utility Mode, Long Mode, or Tall Mode.
Utility Mode: Both portions of the HR-V’s 60/40 Split 2nd-Row Magic Seat can be folded flat to dramatically expand your available cargo space. With each portion laid flat, the HR-V LX 2WD offers 58.8 cu. ft. of storage space.
Long Mode: In contrast to many competing crossovers, the HR-V’s interior flexibility extends to its first row of seating. The front passenger’s seat can be folded forward, and it sits flush with the rear seats when they’re collapsed as well. Long mode creates a space where equipment like surfboards and skis can be stored safely.
Tall Mode: When the HR-V’s rear seatbacks are upright, both rear seat-bottom can be folded upwards and locked into place. This transition gives you access to up to four feet of vertical space—enough room to transport an adult-size bicycle, even when your cargo bay is full!
Drivers who choose the HR-V will be able to transport a whole lot more than cargo alone! When both portions of its 60/40 Split Rear Seat are folded upright, this 2-row crossover SUV can seat five passengers in perfect comfort. LX and Sport models offer a total of 100.1 cu. ft. of passenger space, while EX, EX-L, and Touring builds provide 96.1 cu. ft. of the same.
Its rear Magic Seat is a standard feature on all five HR-V trim levels, but it’s not the only available interior feature that makes the HR-V so comfortable! Heated Front Seats come standard on the EX trim and up, and Leather-Trimmed Seats have been included on EX-L and Touring models. A Driver’s Seat with Manual Height Adjustment is standard across all models, and drivers who upgrade with this crossover’s Touring trim will be able to take advantage of 8-Way Power Adjustment.
When you take the time to explore the HR-V’s available accessories, you can make the vehicle you purchase even more valuable. The interior and exterior options we’ve laid out below can be equipped on any trim.

Oncologist Rudolph M. Navari, M.D., Ph.D., FACP, associate dean and director of the Indiana University School of Medicine-South Bend and an adjunct professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame, has received a $2.1 million grant for a national study to address chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV).
The four-year study, funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), will determine the efficacy of the anti-psychotic olanzapine to assuage both nausea and vomiting among patients being treated with highly emetogenic chemotherapy.
The study builds on groundbreaking clinical trials done by Navari that demonstrated that olanzapine—now available for about 45-cents a dose— is highly effective in mitigating the often debilitating effects of chemotherapy. The impact is positive both immediately after chemotherapy, and two to four days after treatment, when some patients experience breakthrough nausea and vomiting. Patients in the early trials experienced no negative side effects from the olanzapine.
In the NCI study, the physicians of breast and lung cancer patients across the country will administer a protocol that pairs olanzapine with other antiemetics to be given prior to the administration of the chemotherapy treatments. The study will screen for nausea and vomiting experiences the day chemotherapy is administered and the four days following treatment.
Navari is the principal investigator of the four-year study, in partnership with Charles Loprinzi of the Mayo Clinic and Steven Grunberg of the University of Vermont. The grant will support a multi-institution, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Navari is a fellow and former co-director of the Harper Cancer Research Institute, a joint effort between IUSM-SB and Notre Dame.
If the study bears out the positive effect of olanzapine, prescribing it will become a standard in cancer treatment, Navari said.
Cancer researchers have identified anti-nausea and vomiting agents such as aprepitant and palonosetron, but nothing has addressed both nausea and vomiting as effectively as olanzapine, or as inexpensively.
Eliminating the nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy is considered a high priority in cancer research because of the debilitating nature of the side effects. Post-chemotherapy illness has been known to impact a patient’s decision to pursue a full course of treatment, or force a physician to decrease the potency of treatment.

Of the nineteen states Hilary Clinton won, only six do not have oceanfront property. (I have cheated a bit by including Connecticut in the ocean frontage states.) The only four ocean property states she lost are all south of Virginia: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The point? The Big Sort. Democrats are now clustered in cities and along the two coasts. The big switch in this election, of course, was that the mid-western states–Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin–went for Trump. Only Illinois (home of our second largest city) and Minnesota (by a thread) stayed blue. The middle of the country has been emptied out of the educated and the affluent for the most part. The exceptions are a few big cities. Given the way that the Electoral College, since it gives two freebie electoral college votes to match senate seats, is configured, winning only 19 states (as Clinton did) is a recipe for disaster. That’s how you win the popular vote, but lose the election.
But there is also the social impact of segregation–of the fact that Democrats don’t live near or interact with Republicans.
“The revolt of the elites” thesis basically comes down to this: the affluent have built a very nice bubble for themselves on the two coasts and have left the rest of the country to go to the dogs. That those left behind have focused their resentment on the chattering classes, the politicians, immigrants, blacks, and gays instead of on the business elites is one way to characterize the failure of the left. It’s an old American story that race animosity undermines potential class solidarity. I have no original thoughts on that conundrum.
When the civil rights movement created a black middle class, a new form of segregation–economic segregation–destroyed the earlier black communities where doctors and lawyers lived cheek by jowl with janitors. Now a similar same (economic not racial) segregation is true of white America–a product of growing economic inequality. The top 10% have created their enclaves–a fact reflected in property prices in those coastal cities–and non-affluent whites, those moving down the economic ladder, have been shunted to the Staten Islands and exurbs of our country, condemned to long commutes on clogged highways.
I don’t think you can ever overstate the evils that attend economic inequality.
2 thoughts on “Oceanfront Property”
I ultimately agree with your larger point here, articulated at the end. But the rural versus urban analysis that has been much touted before and after the election strikes me as simplistic and overall inaccurate. No doubt, Trump won because he convinced white, blue collar workers without college educations in the midwest to vote for him. But that includes more people in Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee, to name but a few.
In addition, this analysis misses the complexity of the exurbs, some of them went the way of Trump but some shifted more Democrat than ever before (like in Texas and Utah, of all places). To supplement your analysis (about income and mobility), I’d be really interested in seeing polling data overlaid on top of population growth data. My sense is that where population is growing (and hence there seems to be more economic opportunity) Clinton performed well and in some cases better than Obama. But in those places where population is declining, former Democrats voted for Trump.
I have no doubt–and I have long argued–that Democrats need to provide a more compelling case to the rural poor. FDR and Johnson recognized the importance of doing so not just for political reasons, but also for civic/moral reasons. I place some of the responsibility for this on Bill Clinton and Obama both. Clinton because he pretty clearly empathized with these populations and then did little to help them, reconfiguring the Party in fairly significant ways. As for Obama, these are voters he never resonated with (which is of course is not entirely his fault) and, I suspect, didn’t care as much about as he did other issues (which is more his fault as the Party leader and arguably as the leader of the country, too). The Party has not done much by way of fighting for unions, either, for example, in many years. Biden helped shield Obama from a lot of these effects, I think, and Clinton didn’t have any such buffer.
There’s a kind of “old school Democrat” that’s been lost in recent years, and it’s not clear to me what type will replace that figure. I suspect we will end up talking about Trump Democrats like we’ve talked about Reagan Democrats for years. I expect that we’re in for the same level of devastation as we experienced in the Reagan years, as well, which of course did nothing to help those blue collar workers who rallied behind him. Good times ahead.

Elizabeth: you raise a slew of important issues here. The one that strikes me most–because I haven’t seen it bruited elsewhere–is the distinction between places where the population is growing and places where it is declining. Don’t know if the post-election data will be fine-grained enough to capture that.

On Friday 10 February, the London Philharmonic Orchestra under conductor Marin Alsop performed Kodály’s Concerto for Orchestra, Dvorák’s Symphony No. 7, and Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with soloist Lukáš Vondrácek.
Reviewed by Nick Breckenfield, Classicalsource.com:
Alsop whipped the LPO players into a frenzy, alert to every turn of tempo and Dvorák’s melodic profligacy. The horn solo in the second movement typified the quality of the whole (and mention must be made of top-notch contributions of the third and fourth horns too) … As all good concerts should, this one sent me out into the night with a much-changed mood. And an impatience for Alsop’s programmes next year with the LPO – American-themed as part of ‘The Rest is Noise’.

“The PERF report includes a comprehensive set of 84 recommendations that will serve as a roadmap to reform the (police department’s) culture, policies and practices around use of force,” the department said.
The recommendations identified for immediate action in the 91-page report include the following:
• Prohibition of any type of neck restraint, or shooting at or from a moving vehicle.
• Restricting the use of police K-9s to “serious criminal offenses.”
• Ensuring police sergeants respond immediately to difficult situations, such as calls involving people with mental illnesses, “in which a use of force might be necessary or when a well-managed response might result in compliance without use of force.”
• Training and requirements that lieutenants who conduct reviews of critical incidents consider the event in its entirety, which should include looking for ways to improve communications, tactics, policy, training and use of equipment.
• Ensuring use-of-force reports are reviewed by each level of the police department’s command, up to the assistant chief.
The final, immediate recommendation is meeting with the community to discuss the changes. Officials here and nationwide have been on the receiving end of an unprecedented call for policing reform, Vancouver City Manager Eric Holmes said.
“We have listened to the concerns from our residents, recognize the need for change and are committed to serving the public safety needs of all of our communities in a more just and equitable manner,” Holmes said in a statement.
“We want to improve equity, accountability and transparency, promote higher standards, and increase public trust and confidence,” he added.
NAACP Vancouver Vice President Jasmine Tolbert said the organization is still looking through the use-of-force review.
Tolbert said police should take action as soon as possible on the immediate recommendations to improve for the community.
“When they’re taking those actions, we’ll react accordingly, whether negative or positive,” Tolbert said.
Southwest Washington League of United Latin American Citizens President Ed Hamilton Rosales said the organization’s council is reading the review and plans to discuss the particulars in a conference call this weekend. Rosales said he and the council want to better understand the numerous recommendations.
“We’re looking forward to help put the recommendations in place, and hopefully there will be a more effective plan for doing so moving forward,” Rosales said.
Surge in incidents
Between 2017 and 2019, the Vancouver Police Department’s number of use-of-force incidents increased by 65 percent, according to PERF’s findings. The report states that there doesn’t appear to be any policy or reporting changes that explain the increase. During the same time frame, the department had nine officer-involved shootings.
“PERF found that a relatively small number of officers were involved in a disproportionate number of force incidents,” the report reads.
Of the 178 officers involved in 720 use-of-force incidents during that time period, 93 were involved in one to five incidents each; 72 were involved in six to 15 incidents each; nine were involved in 16 to 20 incidents each; and four were involved in 26 to 34 incidents each. The report notes, however, that it doesn’t necessarily mean those officers acted inappropriately.
The department’s data shows that 78.1 percent of the involved subjects were male, 21.1 percent were female and 0.8 percent were unknown. As far as ethnicity and race, 75.1 percent were white, 11.6 percent were Black, 2.8 percent were Asian, 1.8 percent were Pacific Islander and 0.5 percent were Native American. However, about 50 percent of the subjects’ ethnicities were reported as “unknown,” the report states.
In reviewing officers’ reports, PERF found that nearly half of subjects involved in use-of-force incidents were perceived to be under the influence of intoxicants. Nearly one-third of subjects had at least one “mental health indicator,” according to officers, but they didn’t consistently identify specific indicators.
“The team found that a higher percentage of subjects in ‘serious’ incidents were perceived to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as compared to overall subjects of force. In addition, a higher percentage of the subjects in ‘serious’ force incidents were thought to have a mental illness, as compared to subjects in the overall use-of-force data,” the report reads.
Of the total subjects in the force incidents, 38.2 percent suffered injuries, PERF found. It recommended that the department start including more detailed data about the injuries.
The department has already started to improve its use-of-force reporting by adopting new protocols for data collection, according to PERF.
Task force planned
The police department said it will convene a community task force to help implement the recommendations laid out in the review. The group will help ensure transparency and accountability as the work continues, police said. It will also advise on establishing a body-worn camera program for the department, in time for the Vancouver City Council to consider it as part of the 2021-2022 biennial budget this fall.
The task force’s members will include representatives from the city council, the city manager’s office, the police department’s Diversity Advisory Team and “communities affected by police,” among others. The city reportedly has started reaching out to people to join the task force.
Vancouver Police Chief James McElvain said he wants to ensure the recommendations are put in place, which involves bringing new voices and perspectives to the table.
“We are embarking on a new era of American policing, one that is more responsive to what all communities expect from their police department,” he said in a statement.

The SRAM RED AXS™ Powermeter throws tradition overboard and breaks through to a new level of performance in the process. By the product designers of SRAM reduced the chainring size and increased the transmission range of the cassette, they have redefined the gear gradation on the road bike from scratch and designed. This design innovation hears on the name X-Range. At the same time, the 13-tooth gear jump between the chainrings was retained to guarantee precise shifting in any setup. The result is a more usable gear ratio in all configurations and fundamentally better shifting. The RED AXS™ powermeter also features DZero™, Quarq's premium wireless power measurement system integrated into the crankset. Thanks to a professional performance-tuned training you are ready to climb the cycling Olympus.
The SRAM RED Carbon crank arms are completely hollow thanks to Exogram technology. The X Range Direct Mount chainrings harmonize perfectly with the Yaw technology of the RED eTap AXS derailleur and thus offer an outstanding and low-friction shifting. Like the current SRAM MTB cranks, the SRAM RED crank is equipped with the universal DUB (Durable Unified Bottom Bracket) crankshaft, which can be used in all standard crankcases. It additionally increases the stiffness. The bearing clearance is adjusted via an adjustment ring.
AXS™ is SRAM's integrated wireless platform for connecting electronic bike components with software. The SRAM AXS™ app allows riders not only to check battery levels, influence shifting behavior and configure controls according to personal preferences, but also to create maintenance schedules and update firmware.
Hollow carbon construction starts in the crank arm and extends into the crank spider. It provides an optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio.
The derailleur cage rotates and is thus in a constant angular relationship with the chain. The Yaw technology enables trim-free shifting. The shift transitions are thus more direct and precise and in combination with the new Red crank and Red chainrings, the Yaw forms a perfect unit with the chain. Thus, the Yaw technology provides unprecedented performance when shifting forward.
Road bikes are faster and more powerful than ever before, and riders continue to show what bikes with road handlebars are capable of. X-Range™ is the gear ratio for the modern way to ride a road bike. SRAM has completely redesigned the road bike transmission, for more gear range, a more pleasant and more usable gear gradation and thanks to AXS™ also smarter shift settings. With X-Range™ you are always in the right gear.
DUB™ technology features a sophisticated bottom bracket design and a new crankshaft design. Together, they allow for a more unified approach to bottom bracket fit and a better seal against contamination. Now everyone can benefit from unprecedented durability.
Crank incl. chainrings, without bearing shells.
Note: A bottom bracket is not included and must be purchased separately.
