Keep reading to learn about the best military surplus rifles for hunters.
Military surplus rifles have been popular among hunters, especially in the United States, for many years. Generally speaking, military surplus rifles are often rugged, reasonably priced, and relatively easy to obtain. They are also usually chambered in high powered cartridges suitable for hunting most species of big game. While they may not be capable of matching the performance of some of the more modern hunting rifles, a good military surplus rifle is still a great choice for a hunter on a budget. Read on to learn about the best military surplus rifles for hunters.
No list of the best military surplus rifles is complete without including the M1 Garand. The semi-automatic M1 Garand was a revolutionary rifle that served American Soldiers well in World War II and Korea. It has also performed capably in the hands of thousands of hunters in the United States since then. Since it is chambered to shoot the mighty .30-06 cartridge, a hunter carrying a Garand is well equipped to pursue many species of North American big game.
The M1 Garand has a few disadvantages though. First off, it’s heavy and it’s tough to mount a scope on a Garand (though it is possible). Another thing to keep in mind when hunting with a Garand is that many modern .30-06 high pressure hunting loads are not safe to shoot in it. Either get an adjustable gas plug or only shoot ammunition that is within the pressure range that the Garand can safely handle. As long as you keep the limitations of the rifle in mind, the M1 Garand is an excellent choice for hunters.
The Lee-Enfield rifle is one of the best military surplus rifles for those living in areas with lots of British influence, like Canada, Australia, or parts of Africa. There are thousands of sporterized Enfields floating around in many of the former British possessions and they have been used for water buffalo hunting in Australia, moose hunting in Canada, plains game hunting in South Africa, and everything in between.
They have a well deserved reputation for accuracy and reliability. Indeed, the Enfield is such a rugged and reliable rifle that they were used by the Canadian Rangers in the Arctic for decades until the government recently decided to replace them. Most Enfields are chambered in .303 British, which is a very capable cartridge that has been used by hunters to take nearly every species of big game on Earth.
If you are really on a strict budget but want a decent hunting rifle, then the Mosin-Nagant is probably the best military surplus rifle for you. The Mosin-Nagant is not an elegant rifle and is instead the very definition of rugged and simple. They aren’t as cheap as they used to be, but it is still possible to find one for less than $300.
The Nagant is chambered to fire the potent 7.62x54mmR round, which is powerful enough for hunting most species of big game. Most specimens are more than accurate enough to ethically hunt big game at reasonable ranges. It is also possible to sporterize them by installing a new stock, mounting a scope, or even doing some work on the trigger. Even if you don’t want to make any modifications, a Mosin-Nagant will still make a very good hunting rifle.
To learn more about the 7.62x54R cartridge and how it compares to the 7.62x39mm and the .308 Winchester, check out the article below:

It’s tough to go wrong with any Mauser, especially the Mauser K98, which is one of the best military surplus rifles available. The Mauser revolutionized the way we look at rifles when it was first introduced and is still the standard by which bolt-action rifles are measured. Millions of Mauser K98 rifles were produced by Germany and many of them are now in the hands of collectors and hunters all over the world.
While the 7.92x57mm Mauser round is more than capable of ethically taking down many species of big game, hunters have also modified a large number of Mauser rifles to use other cartridges like the .35 Whelen over the years as well.
They aren’t as cheap or as easy to find as they used to be, but surplus Mauser rifles are still great choices for hunters.
Another contender for the title of the best military surplus rifle for hunting is the 1903 Springfield. It was designed to incorporate many of the features that made the Model 1898 Mauser such a great rifle. The designers were perhaps a little too successful in this regard because Springfield ended up paying royalties to Mauser for patent infringement!
As a result, the 1903 Springfield has many of the same strengths as the Mauser. It is also chambered in .30-06 Springfield, which is a definite plus. If you’re going to be hunting big game in North America, the .30-06 Springfield is almost never the wrong answer. It’s wonderful for use on game like whitetail deer and black bear and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using it for moose and caribou hunting either. The Springfield is also extremely accurate. Unfortunately, they aren’t as cheap as they used to be. However, they are still a great rifle and are a worthy choice if you’re looking for a good military surplus rifle for hunting.

That 1903 Springfield is a great rifle. Great post :)
Thanks for the guide, that is what i’m looking for!
Should i get a mosin nagant or Lee enfield and which variant for hunting game?
For most hunters, it probably won’t make much different which variant of which rifle you buy. Both are plenty accurate and more than powerful enough for hunting deer, bear, hogs, etc. at 50-150 yards. The Nagant will probably be cheaper, but the Enfield will probably be a little more accurate.
Personally I’m a fan of the Lee Enfield for a couple reasons. They are one of the few millsurp rifles that need neither the safety or bolt handle modified to work with a low mounted scope and unlike Mauser sporters they are not prone to developing major cracks in the stock around the action. The iron sights on these rifles are pretty good and an un-scoped No1 in sporter form generally weighs in around 7.5 lbs, which is a pretty good weight for a hunting rifle. Here in Canada it is not hard to find a serviceable sporter for under $200 Canadian… so IMO they are a clear winner. I would also put in a good word for the Mauser 96, they are generally much cheaper than the 98’s, and every 96 I’ve ever shot was a tack driver. As an added bonus the 6.5×55 is possibly the best deer hunting round ever invented IMO.
Hey john I’m looking for a Lee Enfield prefeley a later model like a No 4 mk 1 or 2. I heard that they were some rifles brought back from grease that were supposed to be new in original wrapping .. Also i heard that there are still some floating around from long branch, but i don’t know who to contact. can you help. Thanks
The most classy and stylish is Mosin, Russians make perfect firearms and Mosin is another great example, of course you won’t go wrong with either rifle, Enfields, or superior K31, but absolute winner here is Mosin.

Savannas cover more than 10% of the world´s land surface and more than 50% of the African continent. They are a mixture of trees and grasses, where the former are discontinuous and the latter are continuous. They provide important habitat for a large range of animal and plant species. The tree-grass balance of the savannas make them socioeconomically important for the large human populations that live within and earn a livelihood by exploiting them.
“Despite their importance, the driving factors behind them are still poorly understood,” says PhD candidate, Erik Francis Acanakwo.
“We are uncertain of the response of woody plants to the loss of ungulates in the savanna.”
Examining the interactions
Erik has spent the past three years researching how termites and large herbivores, such as zebra, warthog and various antelopes, affect the savanna’s plant communities.
“A particular focus of mine has the interplay between biotic factors, in this case the effect of termites and large mammalian herbivores on woody plants .”
His results show that ungulates amplify the differences of tree community properties between on- and off termite mound habitats.
Vital part of savannas
Termite colonies are well-known structures of tropical savannas, where they can reach a height of up to 9 meters, and contain millions of termite individuals. With some species, like the ones in Erik’s projects, there are also plants growing on top of the mounds. The termites are very important when it comes to nutrient cycles, earth formation and quality, and as food for other animals
“Even though the termites are small, the collected biomass equals the one of large mammals in many areas,” Erik says.
“Understanding the interactive effects between termites and ungulates on woody plants can contribute to improved natural resource management strategies for savannas.”
The aim of Erik’s study was to investigate how tree species composition, species diversity patterns, and seed removal varied on- and off-mound with and without ungulates. He also investigated wood decomposition rates on active and inactive mounds with open and closed canopy vegetation microhabitats. He then compared these results to wood decomposition rates off mound.
Habitat types determine species composition
Erik’s results show that habitat types determine tree species composition.
“Species composition depended on whether tree communities are located on- or off termite mound, but in 10 years, the period 2005-2015, the exclusion of herbivores did not affect composition.”
In the absence of ungulates, stem density markedly increased both on- and off-mound. Ungulate exclusion determines species diversity patterns off-mound.
“While exclusion of ungulates made little change in species richness on-mound, richness was markedly increased off-mound in the absence of ungulates.”
No ungulates, less seed loss
Seed removal rates did not differ in the presence or absence of ungulates off-mound, but on-mound, seed removal rates were marked lower in the absence of ungulates.
“Smaller native seeds were removed more than larger seeds.”
Smaller native seeds experienced higher rates of seed removal relative to larger seeds, suggesting that all seed removal agents likely fed on small seeds, while a few larger agents removed the bigger seeds.
Wood decomposition rates
“Wood mass loss was more rapid in the closed than open vegetation microhabitat,” Erik comments.
“However, while wood decomposition rates did not differ much on active mounds, wood mass loss was higher in the closed than open vegetation microhabitat of inactive mounds.”
Termite mounds are refuges
“My findings suggest that although termite mounds act as refuges for woody plant species, in the absence of ungulates, stem density and diversity of woody plants increases in the landscape.”
While an increase in stem density would enhance carbon sequestration, the tree-grass balance is altered and this would affect organisms that depend on grass biomass

or Who Stole The Carrot?
I’m a photographer. I’ve been one for 50 years now. Photography is what I’ve done since I was 12. It’s what I studied in college and received a degree in. I’ve made ads, annual reports, portraits, three books, and numerous mistakes. I’ve taught, mentored and spoke numerous times on photography. I’ve had solo shows worldwide and am in some nifty collections. My peers have awarded me over 100 times for my pictures, and for that I am most appreciative. I never lie, but have been mistaken. Most importantly though, I’ve been able to do what I am passionate about with my life. There, that’s my resume.
I share my resume to help you understand who this tiny essay comes from. That being not a writer, analyst, critic or curator, but rather a practitioner, one who supported his family by his art. As you may imagine, I have some insight and observations garnered from 50 years of photographic history and I make it a point to speak with a lot of folks who have something to do with photography, decision makers who affect our craft like picture editors, curators, gallerists, publishers, critical writers, managing editors and researchers. Some of them I am friends with. Some, maybe not so much….Did I mention I never lie?
This short essay addresses an issue that is infecting our art, one I am quite concerned over and that I regrettably feel will have serious repercussions for the future of the medium. I have always believed in content over craft, but the two are not inseparable as we all know. It’s apparent the magic of the silver image is now relegated to the past, utilized by practitioners who desire the process for presentation of their content, some unfortunately letting the process dictate content. The masters are those who integrate the process into the final image allowing technique to support and enhance the content. I have great respect for those few who accomplish this symphony of blending aesthetics with content. To those I present my kudos and say thank you. You are the keepers of the light.
Unfortunately there are not many of these masters left in our medium. What we do have is an abundance of ill prepared “practitioners” creating a barrage of images presented daily to an apathetic audience, specifically the 1,800,000,000 photographs a day posted to the internet sucking the air out of our craft and creating a visual vacuum. This may be great for Facebook, Instagram, Tumbler, Pinterest, Twitter, and the milieu of other platforms encouraging this visual maelstrom in return for advertising dollars, but not so much for the serious photographer. Unfortunately, this visual barrage of vacuous pictures created a visual apathy which lead to visual atrophy and ultimately the current state of visual illiteracy. Simply put; people just don’t see any more. Oh sure they spend nanoseconds looking at pictures social media platforms, and they look at hundreds if not thousands of pictures a day. But they do not truly see. I don’t blame them, they simply don’t know how to look. They need to be informed, but good pictures are not easily accessible on a smart phone, tablet or computer screen. They may be there, but are well hidden within the 1,800,000,000 other pictures posted that day.
It’s apparent that now the “Medium is the Message”.
Not seeing photographs has become a serious issue for those of us in the “seeing” business. We need trained eyes to assure our existence as viable artists. We now rarely get experienced eyes on our pictures, and the vast majority of those few visually literate viewers we do get are sadly other photographers in search of eyes for their own work. This becomes an incestuous formula for failure. Any economist will tell you the market for your product won’t be your competition. The outlets we had as photographers are also suffering from this blindness. The print media is in it’s death throes because people are now too impatient to flip a page or hold a magazine. Add the fact that the magazine and newspaper experience has diminished because the quality of those media have so drastically declined. Less readership means more cuts and further decline. It’s an accelerating downward spiral towards oblivion for conventional print media if they do not act to set themselves apart from social and internet media. One way to do that is to improve the experience for readers by printing high quality pictures, writing, and design. Make a magazines special newspapers smart.
Journalism and visual documentaries are available on the internet immediately, stacked tens deep and proliferated with poor pictures. This visual void is filled by picture editors selecting content supplied by the masses or, even worse, stock agencies. This practice serves only to visually dumb down the readership. Many gallerists and curators have sacrificed the good for the novel in an attempt to stop untrained eyes long enough to make a purchase. Many gallerists attempt to remain vital by selling bad pictures to the blind, but the good gallerists know they are best served by engaging and educating their clientele. Unfortunately there is little of lasting import to most “novel” work. To that I say “But, the king has no clothes!” I told you about the not lying thing.
So what’s a person in our business of seeing to do? Despair is not an option. I believe we should work towards increasing visual literacy. We need to bring back the magic of our medium and the best way to do that is to set an example and encourage others to do the same. We need to help people see again and foster the interaction and enlightenment which seeing brings. The best way to do that is to only do good work. We should slow down, look longer, post less, post better. We should fight for our craft and the integrity it deserves. We should respect good pictures, the photographers who make them, and those who support good photography. We should be supportive of our peers. Those of us who are more experienced should mentor younger photographers by encouraging them to find their purpose and respect their craft. We should share our passion. We should set the bar higher and learn from our failures. We must persevere. If photography as a viable art form is to survive we must create a new visual literacy. And if you want to truly see, pull up a chair.

Bird Island Science Manager
I am the Science Manager for Bird Island. I joined the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in January 2021, and prior to this have been working in Ireland for the last eight years undertaking a variety of research on seabirds and marine mammals.
Ash specialises in the spatial ecology of higher predators. Movement is a trait shared by all life on Earth, and Ash’s work looks to understand how the behaviour of individual animals can inform the distribution of species. Ash’s doctoral research focused on seabirds, primarily Northern gannets and puffins, and used tagging technologies to track the movement paths of animals. He has also worked on sharks, sea bass and cetaceans.

"Like so many child-prodigy narratives, Home Before Dark finds it most expedient to have Hilde act, think, and talk more or less like a miniature adult (albeit with a kid’s stringent sense of right and wrong)," says Jesse Hassenger of the drama inspired by child journalist Hilde Lysiak. "Even a child actor as good as Brooklynn Prince can seem stilted and smarmy when handed self-consciously elevated child-genius dialogue. A character like Veronica Mars can at least make 'unrealistic' quippiness a window into her personality, sensibility, even her pain. A character like Hilde Lisko isn’t telling us anything about her character except that she’s ridiculously advanced for her age—over and over, with hacky laugh lines."
The tone of Home Before Dark deliberately swings from that of a family drama to an effervescent tween adventure and back again: "Whenever Hilde’s on-screen, the show is a gumshoe adventure, sometimes even with lovely animated interludes to explain backstory, or Hilde closing her eyes to remember a clue in her apparently photographic memory and applying Sherlock Holmes-style deduction," says Caroline Framke. "Whenever the spotlight is on (her father) Matt, it turns into a grittier tale of faded dreams, childhood trauma and corruption. It’s The Goonies by way of Serial, a no doubt attractive pitch that nonetheless has trouble establishing a steady voice of its own until deep into its first 10-episode season."
The contrast between precious girl Hilde and the dark story she’s reporting can at times feel out of whack: "Home Before Dark is both a bit scarier and more casually profane than the family-friendly experience suggested by its heroine," says Alan Sepinwall. "The show stumbles in other areas. There’s not quite enough to the mystery to fill 10 hours, which leads to doubling back over certain ideas — drink every time there’s a slo-mo montage of Hilde and her sister, Izzy (Kylie Rogers), arriving at school after Hilde has published another article. And (Jim) Sturgess is a bit too genially bland in a role that’s supposed to be the emotional core of the story, since Hilde is looking into this case to try to 'fix' her dad."
"Astonishing" Brooklynn Prince saves a show that can feel off-putting: "You will have noticed by now that script rewriting is evidently one skill that does not, alas, figure among Hilde’s multitudinous talents," says Lucy Mangan. "If the uncritical idolisation of Hilde is not offputting enough, there is also the dual-stranded plot that gives you the feeling of being in two not-great programmes at once. If it were just Hilde, Juvenile Reporter on her gumshoe adventures, it might just about function as a passable teatime show (as they used to be able to be called) – a sort of Veronica Mars for a younger demographic. But the apparent involvement of her father with missing child cases past and present mean his scenes appear plucked from a darker, more grown-up show. What saves it from simple tedious schmaltz (notwithstanding the clambering-on-tabletops-in-solidarity scene in the cafeteria as Hilde reads out – so fearlessly! So maturely! So driven-by-the-truthly! – the online comments from under her murder report) is Prince’s performance. She is simply astonishing. You wouldn’t believe her character in any other hands. Prince rises above the premise, the script, everything. She gives it her all and it is a mighty thing. It feels like a privilege to be there to witness the unfurling of such a vigorous talent. If she turns out to be able to write scripts too, that would be great."
Creators Dana Fox and Dara Resnik are trying to force two different wildly shows together: "But just because the two parts should work — a precocious pre-teen investigative journalist would necessarily have a family capable of carrying its own dramatic storyline — doesn’t mean they do, and Home Before Dark’s strange disconnect is a prime example," says Kevin Yeoman. "The trouble seems to be the show wants to appeal to a wider audience, to pull in those for whom the adventures of a nine-year-old proto-journalist don’t sound appealing. In doing so, Home Before Dark pits its raison d’être against its own supporting cast and necessary subplots. For whatever reason, the two simply don’t mix as well as they should."
Home Before Dark shows potential: "More often than not, what bonds the audience to Hilde is her tenacity and that puts her in a weird stage of being an adult in a child’s body," says Kristen Lopez. "The series goes the C.S.I. route of zooming in on bits of evidence only Hilde can see or presenting certain flashbacks as child-esque cutout drawings. There’s a lot happening within the series, and at over 40 minutes per episode there are elements that are superfluous, as though built to appeal to all family experiences."
Jim Sturgess and Brooklynn Prince easily bonded: "It's really sort of indescribable," Sturgess says of his chemistry with his TV daughter. "Luckily she's very confident and very fun, and actually she was putting me at ease more than me putting her at ease in the screen test. She was kind of auditioning me. But she was very giving with her energy and her time."
Home Before Dark creators wanted a show that was a throwback that felt relevant to 2020: “When we were talking to Apple, we were careful to talk about tone constantly, because we wanted it to feel a little Amblin-y, a little throwback, but through this modern day lens," says co-creator Dana Fox. "We live in a world that tries to tell us that truth can’t be known, that is attacking journalists, that is attacking the first amendment. We’re lucky to have Hilde as our North Star. No matter what’s going on in the world she says, ‘The truth matters, let’s go find it."
How Home Before Dark combined a real story with fiction: "As we were trying to figure out how to get into the story creatively, because obviously there was so much that was true, but we knew we had to fictionalize certain elements of it, we just kept saying over and over again, 'Let's take this character as seriously as she takes herself. Let's give her the treatment that is normally reserved for male movie stars. Let's let her be taken that seriously,'" says Fox.

Creating a space of Māori whānau, hapū, iwi wellbeing
Suicide is a major issue that is of real concern to New Zealand communities. The 2015 provisional suicide toll has risen to its highest figure since the coroner's office started releasing the statistics. From the year June 2014 - May 2015, 569 people died by suicide or suspected suicide. The Chief Coroner releases national provisional suicide statistics each year to help suicide prevention efforts and initiatives undertaken by other agencies.
The prevention of suicide is both complex and challenging, and no single initiative or organisation can prevent suicide on its own. A comprehensive and coordinated approach is required across government and non-government organisations, and in partnership with the community.
Rates of suicide among Māori are disproportionately higher than for any other ethnic group in New Zealand. The Māori suicide total (130 deaths) and rate (21.74 per 100,000) are the highest since the provisional statistics were first recorded. Male Māori continue to be disproportionally represented in the provisional suicide statistics with 93 deaths last year.
New Zealand also has the highest rate of rangatahi suicide in the world. Over the ten years from 2003 to 2012 Māori rangatahi suicide rates have been at least 1.7 times the non-Māori rangatahi suicide rates. While the causes of suicide are many and complex, it is clear that a collective effort will be required to reduce rangatahi suicide rates as well as a targeted approach that is culturally and generationally appropriate.
The New Zealand Suicide Prevention Strategy 2006-2016 directs cross-government suicide prevention and continues to work toward the goals of the Strategy and sets clear objectives to:
- support families, whānau, hapū, iwi and communities to prevent suicide, and reduce the impact of suicide
- improve the range, coverage and targeting of suicide prevention services, and
- lift the quality of information and evidence for effective suicide prevention.
The plan includes actions to build the capacity of Māori whānau, hapū and iwi, Pacific families and communities to prevent suicide, supported by stronger leadership and culturally relevant education and training.
Te Rau Matatini and Le Va are partners in the delivery of Waka Hourua, a National Suicide Prevention Programme for Māori and Pacific Communities. Waka Hourua is funded by the Ministry of Health.
Over the past 10 years, Te Rau Matatini has been actively engaged in the design, development and delivery of community suicide prevention and postvention programmes across Aotearoa New Zealand. A key learning over the past 10 years is that “one-size does not fit all” when it comes to community suicide prevention and postvention planning. Through identifying community champions and building rapport to gain their trust, confidence and support encourages the development of essential components to assist the progression and delivery of tailored community suicide prevention and postvention plan initiatives.

The Wisconsin police department that had one of their own accused of planting drugs in a Black man's car says the claim is BS -- and they say they got the full video to prove it.
The Caledonia Police Dept. posted an update into their investigation -- which they say isn't done yet -- but based on what they've found so far ... they feel confident saying the officer who was caught on video tossing a baggie into the back seat is being wrongly blamed.
Village of Caledonia Police Department
The Chief of Police, Christopher Botsch, says the car was pulled over for speeding in a 45 MPH zone, and after the front seat passenger refused to ID himself -- and finding the rear passengers weren't wearing seat belts -- the cops apparently decided to conduct a search.
CPD uploaded portions of two body cameras from what appears to be 2 different officers -- the first shows the cop in question being handed a little baggie -- which the department says was an empty "corner tear" -- by another officer who was checking it out and then going back to the car and throwing it back in ... which is where the OG video picks up.
The police say that little baggie -- which, again, they say was not illegal in and of itself since it was empty, albeit indicative of drugs -- was found when they searched one of the rear passengers, something they say you can see in a second body cam video they uploaded.
Since there was nothing in it, CPD says the cop essentially discarded it back into the car, which they say probably wasn't a great idea, but note ... nothing sketchy happened. Their video also shows the convo that happened after ... something GlockBoy Savoo's didn't.
Caledonia Police say there's over 6 hours of footage to review since there were four officers present -- so they say they're gonna need more time to get the full picture. However, they reiterate that thus far ... it doesn't appear as if anything criminal was done -- on either end.
They also point out that no arrests were made from this stop ... only a speeding ticket was issued. GlockBoy Savoo, meanwhile, doesn't appear to have responded to the cops' story.

That’s what is happening in California as a result of liberal reforms, according to this story from CBS Los Angeles.
STUDIO CITY (CBSLA.com) — New findings are raising additional concerns over Proposition 47, a law designed to cut prison sentences for many nonviolent offenses.
“He got out early and he was able to do more crime and we were the victim of that,” said Allesha Jeffries of the man who’s accused of stealing her son’s specially-made bike.
Jeffries says it’s hard enough caring for her 13-year-old with cerebral palsy, but when his bike was stolen, her heart dropped.
She said though when she learned from prosecutors that the suspected thief was a repeat offender released early by Prop. 47, she was livid.
Passed by voters in 2014, the proposition reduces some felonies to misdemeanors and limits jail time for many crimes.
The Association of Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs and Association of Deputy District Attorneys has come out in opposition of the law.
Deputy District Attorney Marc Debbaudt says a new study shows, because of Prop. 47, more criminals are on the street.
In Los Angeles County last year, there was a 31 percent drop in bookings for property crime and 68 percent fewer bookings for drug offenses, according to the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC).
Why? Debbaudt says, if there’s no punishment, law enforcement has no reason to arrest them.
“They have no motivation since nothing is being done to these people,” he said. “In fact, they are committing crimes with virtual impunity because there are no consequences.”
Another study shows violent crime in Los Angeles County increased 54 percent last year and property crime is up by 145 percent, also according to the PPIC.

Video: Lions WR Marvin Jones Jr. notches second TD catch of the first quarter vs. Vikings
Matthew Stafford has built a decent rapport with Marvin Jones Jr. since they’ve been together on the Detroit Lions. Their connection continued with Jones notching his second touchdown catch of the first quarter versus the Minnesota Vikings.
— NFL (@NFL) October 20, 2019
The play was a simple three-step drop for Matthew Stafford, who immediately looked in Jones’ direction. The veteran wideout made a subtle but effective move on Xavier Rhodes and was able to create some separation.
As a result, Jones brought the ball to his body and got both of his feet inbounds to give Detroit the lead. Jones has just three receptions on the day but two of them have accounted for both of the Lions’ touchdowns.
Coming into this game, Jones only had one touchdown to his name this season. There is still plenty of game to be played for him to continue his impressive game.

Rogue sold in two weeks! Congrats Jess :)
This dude is 12 years old standing 15hh with a super nice build and sweet kind eye!
He was broke and was a kids camp horse, he's had a couple years off so I am restarting him!
He's doing great with his groundwork, leading, good ground manners...just a real easy guy to be around :)
(Pics of Rogue with Jess, his new owner! :) )
When a horse understands what youre asking from them, theyre confident to work for you..
When training a horse you exercise their mind, when conditioning a horse you exercise their body.You don't exercise their body until you've trained their mind.
Each horse learns at their own pace and time...if you push them past their thinking point they don't have the chance to learn, that's when you get a horse that explodes (rear, buck, bolt, etc) Some though, need to be pushed and are bored so they will entertain themselves by doing funny things (playful buck or nip, etc). Find that happy medium and you're good to go!
A horse either reacts out of fear or attitude, but either way they will react if they aren't taught to respond. And whether they react out of fear or attitude will determine how you deal with it and help them overcome it.
The key to trust is respect, and to get respect you need to create trust.
A good trainer can get the job done but a great trainer will make a lasting impression.
Everytime I hear someone say, "that horse is so stupid" I figure the horse has simply outsmarted them ;)
It's not about the strength you have but how you use the strength you do have.
Training is about teaching a horse to grow into their own independence to create a confident horse that desires to hit the trails, not turn around a run home like a coward...that is not confidence.
As soon as you buy a horse you might as well think of it as yourself buying a training license...you're officially a trainer from that day on.
I want two eyes, two ears, and four feet ready to move when I say move so when we're stuck in a situation my horse doesn't just panic, he thinks. Yes, it could be your life on the line or you break a bone. And if that should be the case you'll think "if only I took 5 minutes to have taught my horse that then I wouldn't being lying in bed 5 days". Safety is of utmost importance...they have a mind and a react or respond kind of system. If you don't train more respond and less react their herd instincts will take over telling them to react rather than respond.
Below are a few stories of horses I've worked with and the outcomes:
This Paint dragged her owner, stepped on her and reared up at me...all in the time of leading her to her corral. After 5-10 minutes this gal was as sweet as pie. Real sweet mare with a kind eye :)
This mare was known for bucking and "didn't have a chance"...she now is a first time owner's horse :)
This paint gelding "wasn't going to make anything more than a 3D barrel horse". I'm proud to say he made a nice 2D horse and was sold to Alberta were a young gal is going to learn to run barrels on him! And he absolutely loves being a trail horse!!
This beautiful pony I bought very green broke...she now is running against tough competition with an 8 year old jockey, they're placing 1D barrels and poles!
The Trouble With Frost "Strider" is an 9 month old registered Appaloosa gelding, buckskin in color. He is an own son of TROUBLED MEMORIES who is off of Leaving Memories! Other greats on his papers include Frenchmans Guy and Bugs Alive in 75, Easy Jet, Dash for Cash, First Down Dash (leading paternal grandsire) plus more! With this kind of breeding, need I say more??
This cool dude amazes everyone who stops by to say hi with his sweet personality and friendly easy going nature. Show him something once and he's got it, this kid is smart! You can hang over him, rub him everywhere, he moves his hindquarters and forequarters, breaks at the poll...has the right start in his groundwork!
He is eligible for futurities and will make a nice futurity horse to haul down the road!
His siblings are going for $4000-$4500.
SOLD!!! I'm glad he's just what you were lookin for Alicia! I'm sure he will enjoy his new home in SK :)
Montana is a coming 4 yr old registered QH gelding, about 15.3hh. ***Two Eyed Jack breeding***
This guy may be the normal brown but is absolutely gorgeous with his long mane and tail and beautiful stocky build!
He Has some groundwork done: moves shoulders and hindquarters, lunges, leads, ties, picks up feet, good for haltering. Previous owner put a few rides on him, I've only started him with my method of groundwork using natural horsemanship.
This sweet dude has has a nice and friendly personality and is respectful of his owner!
He will make a great all around horse whether he's used on the ranch sorting cattle, roping, barrels, trails...and he will be able to do it all!
SOLD! Glad you're loving him, I'm sure he's lovin his new home too :) Good luck!
SOLD!!! Have lots of fun with her Laurel! And happy birthday, how neat is that that you pick her up on the exact day at the exact time when you turn 13! :D
UPDATE: I recently hauled Cricket to a friend's place where we stayed overnight. She handled everything well. I took her around the barrels a couple times and she's proving to know her stuff in the the barrels and poles department. I think she's gonna be great to haul to some gymkhanas/jackpots or make a fun trail horse! She improves with every ride and her price will increase as she learns and grows more. She's just a bundle of fun in this sweetheart!
CRICKET- Miss Cricket is a 9 year old Paint mare standing about 15hh.
She has a quiet personality but is a lot of fun with her "up for anything" attitude! She is started on barrels and poles and doing great! She's gonna be one fun gaming horse!! So far she's been worked with in an outdoor and indoor arena and been ridden down the road. Walks, trots, lopes and has a pretty nice stop! She's got a beautiful build and is just a sweet heart!
I've had friends from confident to nervous and experienced to beginner on her as well!
Recently we had the vet come out to check a cough that she had and found she has symptoms of heeves (which is now treated and she's doing awesome). The vet didn't even want to call it heeves because it's so mild. He said to just make sure she has good feed. It has been no problem to manage, just give her good hay.
Asking $2500 but am open to reasonable offers as I'm reducing my herd so I can take on outside horses for training.
I offer riding lessons specifically towards fixing issues/problems, barrel racing or pole bending, groundwork or furthering both horse and rider knowledge. Whether you want to learn how to use leg signals/seat movement or start hauling your horse to jackpots, I can help you prepare for success!
I offer lessons on YOUR horses, so you can haul em down and we can work with both you and your horse to make a champion team! The key in a successful team in starting from a good foundation from the ground up to gain respect and trust.
I love seeing horse and rider click and start working towards their goals, this is my aim with every student!
I charge $25 an hour. We're located in Altona, MB.

While Van Eyck was fulfilling a delicate commission to paint a likeness of the Portuguese princess Isabella, so that Philip of Burgundy could decide whether or not to marry her, a young French girl was embarking on a military career which would tip the balance of power between France and England.
As the New Year, 1429, dawned, France was in a turmoil. The French crown was claimed for the English boy king, Henry VI; and the claim seemed likely to be made good. Leaving their Burgundian allies to guard the north-east, the English were pressing south and had besieged the important town of Orleans. The French had become demoralized by a string of English victories, and the dauphin, Charles (last Charles VII), was still uncrowned; his legitimacy was in doubt and he was only recognized as king south of the Loire. But the next few months were to see one of the most remarkable phenomena of the late Middle Ages, the brief but spectacular career of Joan of Arc, whose convictions changed history.
In January, 1429, Joan was 17 years old, a simple farmer's daughter from the village of Domremy in Lorraine. But from the age of 13 she had seen visions and heard voices she identified as the Archangel Michael and Saints Catherine and Margaret. Her voices told her that it was her mission to lead France to victory and see Charles crowned at Reims.
The previous summer, in 1428, she had tried to persuade the local French captain at Vaucouleurs, 12 miles away, to help her in her mission. The captain did little, and when the news of the siege of Orleans came through, she dressed in men's clothes, had her hair cut short and, in January, 1429, set off to find the dauphin herself. Early in March, she presented herself at the Chateau of Chinon, where she proved immediately that she was either heaven-sent or extremely intelligent. For Charles had told one of his courtiers to take his place on the throne before Joan entered the room, but she had no trouble in picking out the true king at first sight which may or may not have had something to do with his notoriously unprepossessing appearance. At any rate, Charles was won over, and after a thorough investigation into her religious credentials, Joan was given a suit of white armour, a black charger and her own banner and pennon, and sent to Tours to join the army. Joan is said to have supplied her own sword, miraculously indicating the spot where one lay buried behind an altar.
Whether inspired or simply fanatical, Joan had immense charisma and even greater courage. Where she led, the soldiers of France would follow. She was absolutely convinced that God was on the side of France. The three letters she dictated and sent to her enemies reflect her confidence 'You Englishmen, who have no right in the kingdom of France the King of Heaven commands you by me, Joan the Maid, to leave your strong-holds and return to your own country!'. By May, the French had driven the English besiegers from Orleans and, as the French overran the English bastilles, it was Joan who planted the first scaling ladder. A series of brilliant victories followed. With the enemy badly shaken, Joan spurred on the dilatory Charles to enter Reims, and in July he was finally crowned in the Cathedral with 'the Maid of Orleans' standing by his side.
By the end of the year, Joan's run of success began to falter and in the autumn she was wounded in the thigh with an arrow though her fellow soldiers had to drag her by force from the battlefield. But she remained an enormous inspiration to the French and when the English captured her the following year they tried desperately to have her discredited with a show trial, before allowing her to be burned at the stake as a dangerous and influential heretic.
The English dislike of Joan was understandable. At the beginning of 1429, they were poised to overrun all France. By December, they had been pushed back into the region round Paris and the alliance with Burgundy was less sound than it had been before the maid intervened.

TOPE OMOGBOLAGUN writes about ways parents can train kids who steal
It will naturally break any parents’ hearts to learn that their kids grow into adulthood to become thieves. It is for this reason that a Yoruba proverb counsels that children should be trained in the early years so they don’t become monsters at adulthood.
Speaking about the issue, an Osun State-based businesswoman, Mrs Taiwo Oni, urged parents to make necessary things available for a child exhibiting tendencies to steal to check the behaviour.
She said strict parents might push their children to steal because of the fear of asking them what they needed.
She said, “Parents should not be too strict on their children as it will create a big barrier between them and their children. Children should be free to ask for what they need. If you put money on the table for them to have access to it, the money will not mean much to them whenever they see it. Give them access to the kitchen if it is food they are always stealing. It is also wise to occasionally speak with them on the behaviour.’’
Another parent, Mrs Bola Solaja, told SUNDAY PUNCH that knowing the cause of why a child steals would help the parent to manage the situation quickly.
She said, “It is better to caution the child early enough so that the situation can be managed. Also, it is wise to interrogate the child; ask questions in a loving and pitiful manner. Don’t shout or beat the child, be calm with such a child so that you can get information from him or her. Then, you can now act on the information.”
Solaja also advised parents to seek the face of God in handling the situation at infancy.
Like Solaja, Mrs Gladys Joel, urged parents to be mindful of age in handling theft in children, identifying exhibition of love as one of the best ways to help such a child.
She said, “A child below age five can be saved but a child above the age is a big issue that will take the grace of God to be saved from the habit. Your reaction as a parent towards the affected child will determine the child’s fate.
“When a child admits stealing, counsel and encourage him or her to stop the act and probably punish him by withdrawing his favourite hobbies. Counsel him to always seek owner’s permission before taking anything that is not his or hers.’’
The housewife said parents could sparingly use the rod depending on the severity of the offence, noting that it was vital to also let the child know the danger of stealing.
In his contribution, a teacher and father of three boys, Mr Henry Asuquo, said peer pressure was on the rise so children could steal for various reasons.
He stated, “It is best to always assess a child that steals by checking the history to ascertain the best approach to tackling it. Some children steal because of peer pressure, jealousy, financial demands from home or even because of boredom.
“Some children also steal when they feel something is missing in their lives; when they feel vulnerable, or unable to control their desire. Managing a child that steals should involve a multidisciplinary action with a firm approach in mind. Beating will not help.”
He said if the habit was caused by a financial burden, then with good support from schools, teachers and extended families, the child might stop stealing.
Asuquo said, “Children, especially those that are a bit older, can also benefit from seminars/webinar on self-control, managing peer pressure and understanding the implications of stealing later in life. There is no justification for stealing, but with good history and understanding of the situation, there can be help for appropriate therapy to check the habit.’’
Also, a doctor, Mr Lawrence Olusola, advised parents with stealing kids to put such children in charge of things.
He said, “If the child steals money, tell the child to keep some money for you. Tell the child that you trust him or her to be accountable for the money. You will be surprised the child won’t steal again.
“Also, from time to time, buy the child things that he or she steals. For example, if the child stills meat, you can give the child two pieces of meat.’’
Commenting on the issue, a pastor, Mrs Olusola Ade, said parents must first provide the children with basic necessities before accusing them of stealing.
She said, “First, I think parents should provide the child with basic necessities they can afford because hunger can make children steal. If that is the case, one cannot blame the child even though that is not a good excuse to steal. But mind you, we are talking about children. Besides, parents need to teach their kids actions and consequences early. Parents often overlook or pardon dirty acts.
“But if the case is caused by greed and lack of contentment and not hunger, I advise parents of such children to keep items in the custody of such kids to make them accountable for things early enough.’’
In her contribution, a developmental psychologist, Prof. Grace Adejuwon, said parents should first know that kids steal for different reasons.
She said, “A child can steal not because it is the child’s character but because they just want to explore things for different reasons. The reasons children steal can be classified into two: Deprivation or entitlement.
“For example, a parent can place a cake on the table and a child already given a piece of it will return to it to take more without seeking permission from his or her parent. The child would keep going back to the cake to take more until the cake is almost finished.
“The other part is when the child is deprived; either of food or other things. If the child is hungry but denied food, such a child will go ahead to steal food and damn the consequences.”
According to the lecturer, deprived children should be catered for through the provision of good food and other necessities.
She said, “For the other category of children, the parents should have conversation with them. Make them see the consequences of their behaviour. Once you make a child see the consequences of such behaviour, the child is not likely to repeat the behaviour. Talk positively to the child by saying you are confident that he or she is not a thief.’’
Adejuwon, who teaches at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State, said parents should also set punishment for light-fingered kids which they would both agree to enforce whenever the act was repeated.
She stated that before a child could begin taking things from outsiders, the child must have started doing so from home.
The lecturer noted, “The parents should check the child if it has become a habit done with the expectation of reward from it. A child who steals from people outside must have been doing so from home.
“That is why parents need to deal with stealing once and for all. There should be consequences for a child who steals, but not with physical abuse.’’

General Motors is preparing for a Presidential visit to Factory ZERO, an assembly plant charged with building the company's all-electric vehicles. During the visit, President Joe Biden is expected to get behind the wheel of the new GMC Hummer EV, reports the Detroit Free Press.
The visit will occur on Wednesday, with sources telling the Detroit Free Press that the President will "walk the line and see what the workers are doing" in the factory. The unnamed source also stated it was anticipated that Biden will drive one of the first production 2022 GMC Hummer EVs off the line at the Factory ZERO plant.
Naturally, the visit will also serve as a opportunity for the President to discuss policy. With the recent signing of the new $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill having implications for EVs, the factory visit provides a perfect opportunity to relate that policy to real work happening on the ground. The much-discussed Build Back Better plan could also involve electric vehicle tax credits and consumer incentives, and may be a topic of discussion during the event.
It is rare for sitting presidents to actually drive themselves around, particularly on public roads. For reasons of safety and security, those tasks are usually delegated to specially-trained personnel. Biden, however, hasn't hesitated to drive when the opportunity presents itself. In May, Biden took a tour of Ford's new factory set up to build the new F-150 Lightning. At the event, the President took the electric truck out for a drive on a test track, spilling the beans on the 0-60 figures that had not yet been released to the media.
Biden has long been known for his love of cars, and the Corvette specifically, featuring one in a campaign ad ahead of the 2020 Presidential election. At the time, it was notable for Biden claiming that GM was working on a electric Corvette capable of reaching 200 mph.
Hopefully, someone at the event yells "DO A DOUGHY, JOEY!" and the President of the United States responds with fat, smoky donuts. Regardless, if Biden does drive the new Hummer EV, form suggests the President may just drop a few soundbites or hints as to the specs and performance of the new electric off-roader. As always, The Drive will be waiting and ready to report on any such news that drops. Don't touch that dial!

Stainless Blade Steel - Items tagged as "440c stainless"
Stainless blade steels were once maligned as inferior to tool steels. That is simply no longer the case. Modern proven stainless blade steels such as CPM 154, CPM S35VN, AEB-L, 440C, 154CM will provide a wide array of superlative qualities.
The knife maker no longer needs to choose between edge retention and corrosion resistance in a steel. Blades made from these steels, and properly heat treated can have it all.
All of our blade steel is sold per linear foot so you don't have to buy a whole bar to make a 9" knife. The quantity box is the number of feet you want. It will NOT come as individual 1 foot pieces unless you request it to be cut to 1 foot lengths! The exception is 6" widths which are only sold as full 6 x 36" sheets.
Our stainless bars come to us in 36 inch lengths, so that is the longest we can send you in one piece. (Except AEB-L & Nitro-V which come in at 48 inches)
If you are going to order more than 36 inches..... multiples of 36 will be sent as 36 inch bars. 48 inches and 60 inches will be sent in as a 36 inch and 12 inch or 24 inch.
If what you order is an odd number or if the above doesn't work for you, please let me know in the comments box at checkout what size pieces you would need for your projects.
AEB-L and Nitro-V at 48 inches will incur an oversize charge from Canada Post. Our store is not able to calculate this surcharge, so if you NEED the full 48 inches in one piece, or anything over 38 inches in one piece, we would have to bill you separately for this. Again, please let us know in the comments box when ordering if you need the full length or if it is ok to cut it in half.

DOH: Child abuse can turn victims into future abusersUPDATED 8:07 AM HST Jun 02, 2014Video Transcript
Naeem Williams may learn this week his sentence for the part he played in the beating death of his 5 year old daughter. One of the defense arguments is that he was a victim of child abuse himself. KIT4V's Paul Drewes takes a look at the common causes of abuse and if this violence turns victims into abusers. Little Talia died after months of vicious beatings. Her father, Naeem claims part of the reason for the attacks was that he had been beaten by his dad. graphic #1 According to the Department of Health's most recent data, parental history of abuse IS one of the factors identified as contributing to the abuse or neglect of a child, but it only makes up a very small percentage of the total number of 1361 confirmed cases. Reported cases of abuse have been going down in recent years, but experts believe many more are happening they never hear about. 5:35 "for every one case of child abuse reported, another 5 go unreported" Williams expressed anger over Talia's inability to be potty trained. Frustration by parents, IS the number one reason cited and found in the majority of abuse cases here in the islands. 2:05 "parents cannot cope with their parenting responsibilities, they can't handle the stress" 21:08 "when we get really stressed or have power struggles with your child, that's when you get really angry and sometimes you lash out in ways you wouldn't normally because you are frustrated and don;t have the tools to be an effective parents" nat@12:46 "if we kind of know what to expect it sometimes makes it a little easier" At this Parents Inc. Class, moms and dads have come to learn additional skills to make them better parents, better prepared for the challenges of raising a child. 25:50 "i thought it was going to be a whole lot easier than it is now " nat@19:15 "they are going to understand that things aren't so permanent all the time" Parents not only listen, they also get a chance to share their own experiences with one another... offering support over their challenges. 25:18-25:32 "the ones that have 5,10,15 year olds I can see what is going to happen with my 3 year old as she gets older what to look forward to, and not to get over excited that this seems weird or something like that like, I'm learning what's actually normal when kids are being raised. " show mom with baby shot from 5/28/14 pkg "healthy start" Many new parents may not be prepared to deal with the physical and emotional fatigue of caring for children especially crying, fussy babies and young kids. graic #2 And the ji abuse cases happen to babies and children up to 5 years old. Parents play a big part in caring for their children, but everyone can have a hand in cutting down on the number of child abuse cases. 2:21 "reach out to your neighbors to young families that are having a hard time, offer to watch their kids once or take over so food to help them handle the stresses, they need time out" Paul Drewes KITV 4 news. Abuse can also take the form of threatening harm, neglect, or psychological abuse. Those who works with children are required by law to report suspected cases of child abuse. Those who fail to report abuse can be prosecuted.

Any other company would be charging at least $20 for such excellent content. It evokes sense of wonder without being "gonzo," conjuring a sense of myth and a sort of "Fey wilderness/woodland" setting with interesting situations and encounters, mini-sceearios, fascinating characters and ambience.
A lot of RPG products offer encounters and settings, but all too often they feel like they're from a generic fantasy land. This product drips with atmosphere; the author doesn't just develop generic situations -- he is immensely creative and gifted at creating places that burst with story potential.
I was so pleased that I purchased all the available Rosethrone products and will be keeping an eye out for anything else from the same company.

- a group consisting of two parents and their children living together as a unit.
- all the descendants of a common ancestor.
Ahmed never wanted to talk about what was bothering him. Rather, he preferred calling it the void. I thought we’d be really good friends when he took the dust off me; guess my lonely self mistook an act of basic kindness as friendship.
Isn’t that what long period of isolation and despair does to you?
Anyway, it’d be unfair to progress into this story without introducing myself. I am a part of every family: Rich or poor, progressive or orthodox. I am the silent witness to all family drama: Where boundaries are unclear and mindsets are grubby. I’m the curtain hanger.
In my long life full of enlightening and often depressing experiences in this room, Ahmed was like the Sahara: A river that had dried into a vast desert. Yet that night, as the world slept, someone tried intruding into the sandy tales he had guarded all his life: One page at a time.
The next morning, the sun was nowhere to be found. His mother was standing right at the door, a glass of milk in her hand. As he put on his glasses, Ahmed could see the heavy clouds of misery on her face. Another fight. He gestured to the study table and seemed glad when the uncalled shadow had passed by his doors. He was used to being alone. It was not what he wanted, but what he had to live with: An adult with no motherly love.
He put the thought aside and settled himself in the trusted corner of his former study table, ready to indulge himself in a bit of reading while gulping down the dairy. The howling wind made me creak, my spine aching with age and service. Ahmed pressed between pages he had hardly marked the day before. He leaned his head back and placed the book over his eyes, allowing them the solace of affection. He seemed to be in the introductory pages of The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. A smile crept and the air grew thick with a tenderness that couldn’t help but make him breathe slower, deeper, and happier. So, someone was after his heart again.
Things weren’t flowery, I figured from his antics up at midnight. He’d scrolled through previous messages but made no effort to reignite the flame of connection they felt on the very first day. Quarantine was getting tougher. The next few days were a whirlwind. He was angry — repressed teenage angst bubbling along the hard surface. It all went south on the day he dreaded the most: Mothers’ Day.
His mother was there, always in the house, mostly grumbling about the lack of money. His father was everything a woman might want, but yet, he was not enough for her. His mother wanted more, she would stop at nothing. Ahmed craved the love his peers would get when their mothers came to their graduation and cheered loudly; he was a valedictorian, yet no claps or pats on the back. Instead, his mother would rebuke him for not being a source of income already.
Family was what Benazir, the girl whose name he had carved on me, lived for — it seemed Ahmed couldn’t wait to escape. Her parents seemed supportive, loving, and understanding, everything that he had never experienced in his life. He was jealous of her and everyone who was loved. Yet, it was Benazir who made him feel loved and wanted: The alluring light at the end of his tunnel of misery.
That night, he avoided her calls and texts. He didn’t call back, and felt guilty; guilty of not being there, guilty of somehow being happy that he didn’t call back because he was increasingly afraid of becoming attached to her. It was a new feeling, not entirely foreign, but somewhat forgotten. His life was so full of variables that he couldn’t make space for a constant. He drifted back to Roy’s book for comfort, but he had delved too deep and the book had lost its magic. He checked his phone again. No messages.
His sleep was already scarce when his ringtone blared at 3am. He didn’t bother checking the name because his intuition told him who it was. He, however, wasn’t prepared for what followed. Benazir had had a fight with her dad, my frail brain can’t remember the details, but as Ahmed kept comforting her, he found himself in her. He told her how no family was perfect and it seemed to echo in his mind.
“Humans, the most intelligent creatures, often underestimate how fragile and vulnerable we are. We do not realise that the notion of being ‘perfect’ is inherently incorrect, as it means ‘without a fault’; and you know who’s flawless? God.”
Chuckles from the other side.
“And so,” Ahmed continued in a hushed but audible voice, “there’s nothing called a ‘perfect family’. We, humans, love using our imagination to bring out the best and worst of every circumstance, because it feels better to be the best, even though it’s just in feeling miserable. Family is an intimate, domestic, resilient group that has survived and adapted the torments of time. The sharing of a common blood line is, indeed, an excellent incentive to stay together as a ‘unit’, and it works, well, most of the time. But it’s our responsibility to take control when we realise that family isn’t our strongest suit, and sing a song or two about the inevitable feeling of despair.”
Benazir doesn’t reply. An awkward silence prevails until she softly speaks, “So, Ahmed, do you want to meet me after quarantine?”
I could feel, I swear, I could see his spirit waver for a split second, but he soon followed up with a simple and sweet, “Yes, baby,” and like the character in Roy’s book, he too realised that there was nothing rewarding in inflicting trouble upon oneself for arbitrary things people had no control over. What better way to feel that than through the complex dynamics of a family, where sometimes love is scarce and at other times bountiful?
Sarika Saiyara likes to describe herself as “a glowing ball of passion and persistence”, and devours conversations on anthropology and physics.

The common house mosquito, Culex pipiens s. l. is part of the morphologically hardly or non-distinguishable Culex pipiens complex. Upcoming molecular methods allowed us to identify members of mosquito populations that are characterized by differences in behavior, physiology, host and habitat preferences and thereof resulting in varying pathogen load and vector potential to deal with. In the last years, urban and surrounding periurban areas were of special interest due to the higher transmission risk of pathogens of medical and veterinary importance. Recently, surveys of underground habitats were performed to fully evaluate the spatial distribution of rare members of the Cx. pipiens complex in Europe. Subterranean environments and their contribution to mosquito-borne pathogen transmission are virtually unknown. Herein, we review the underground community structures of this species complex in Europe, add new data to Germany and provide the first reports of the Cx. pipiens complex and usually rarely found mosquito taxa in underground areas of Luxembourg. Furthermore, we report the first finding of Culiseta glaphyroptera in Luxembourg. Our results highlight the need for molecular specimen identifications to correctly and most comprehensively characterize subterranean mosquito community structures.

VIDEO: Big mamma hippo shows off adorable new calf Paula by taking her for a swim
It is the ultimate in swimming lessons as Paula the baby hippo struggles to keep up with her mother Kathi.
Born at Berlin Zoo just 18 days ago, the little cub weighs 6st 4lbs and is approximately 50 inches long. Fully grown she will weigh as much as two tonnes - like her mother.
Scroll down for video
Child-bearing hippos: Little Paula follows her massive mother Kathi around the pool at Berlin Zoo
Hippos swim from the moment they are born underwater and must immediately propel themselves to the surface to take their first breath.
Contrary to belief, adult hippos cannot actually swim - but travel through the water by pushing themselves off the bottom.
Paula, on the other hand, is rather more buoyant and able to move along by kicking her back legs in a running motion. If the water becomes too deep, then she will rest on her mother's back - surfacing for air roughly every four minutes.
Mother daughter moment: Kathi nuzzles her adorable calf Paula
Zoo keeper Ragnar Kuehne explains: 'Hippos really gallop around underwater. There, they can do everything they can't on land - where they can only trot. But they can't swim, they run under water. They have to jump up to breathe.'
Despite only being able to 'trot', a fully-grown hippo can reach speeds of up to 40mph on land.
Hungry hippo: Paula is pint-sized now but she won't be for long
Paula's arrival has been especially important for Berlin Zoo as she is the first hippo to be born at the zoo for three years, the second cub for 33-year-old Kathi.
A hippopotamus has a life expectancy of about 50 years - a long time to spend running around underwater.

Carpet and Upholstery manufacturers apply “protectants” during the manufacturing process this helps your carpet and upholstery stay cleaner longer. However, with foot traffic, constant use, vacuuming and other day to day wear and tear on your carpets and furniture these protectants wear off over time. If these protectants are reapplied after cleaning, they will help the stain resistance on your carpets and upholstery.

NEW ORLEANS — Today, the City of New Orleans, Department of Public Works streetlight contractor, AllStar Electric, LLC, began trenching in the Jefferson Davis Parkway neutral ground to prepare for the installation of 60 new pedestrian lights, which will enhance public safety by illuminating the bike and pedestrian path between Orleans Avenue and the foot of Jefferson Davis Parkway bridge over I-10.
Safety is the City’s top priority. Residents, cyclists and commuters should plan to travel at reduced speeds while construction crews are on site.
The new streetlight poles are scheduled to be installed in early December; crews will be working from Monday through Thursday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. The installation will be completed by mid-December, weather permitting.
Questions about this project may be directed to RoadworkNOLA at RoadWork or 658-ROAD (7623).

SocGen’s Yao Says China Rate Cut Shows More Accommodative Policy
“This move comes before the weekend release of China’s May data, which might imply negative data surprises.”
“The further liberalization is more significant than the cut itself. Given the new floating band, deposit rates may actually rise to 3.575 percent. The lending rate can move to as low as 5 percent.”
“It is a very strong policy signal in two-fold. One, monetary policy definitely turning more accommodative to restore market confidence. Two, Beijing is not forgetting structural reforms.”

BREAKING: Biden Campaign Manager Says No Way He Concedes on Election NightNovember 3, 2020
We’ve been told for weeks now that Americans likely won’t know the results of the presidential contest on Election Night.
Between all of the mail-in ballots and states that will allow them to be returned days after the Tuesday election date, there’s just no way the country will be able to determine the outcome for days or maybe even weeks later.
But wait – what happens in the event of a blow-out landslide reelection victory by President Donald Trump?
There are people who believe that may actually happen, and one of them is no stranger to politics, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
The former Georgia Republican lawmaker who masterminded the GOP takeover of the House in 1994 after being out of power for four decades has repeatedly predicted a good old-fashioned butt-kicking of Joe Biden by the president on Tuesday.
"I think Trump is going to carry 324 electoral votes,” Gingrich told Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “And I think it will be an enormous shock—a bigger shock to the Establishment than 2016—because the country, the average American, is fed up with these politicians.
"They’re fed up with being told, ‘You have to be locked down, but the politician and his family don’t have to be.’ [Americans] are also sick of being told, ‘You should be frightened!'" he added.
So, if that prediction comes to fruition, it’s over, right? The Biden camp will have no choice but to concede and allow the peaceful transition of power take place like they’ve claimed for months Trump would never allow happen.
Not so fast.
As reported by the Post Millennial, the Biden camp has other plans:
Jen O'Malley Dillon, Joe Biden's Campaign manager, considers a Trump victory an impossibility so much so that even were he declared the winner on election night, Biden would not accept it.
While giving an update on the status of the campaign's chances for victory on Monday, Dillion and the Biden campaign outlined Biden's path toward 270 electoral votes and the Oval Office. Dillion warned against possible assertions on election night that might make Trump look like had gained the upper hand. That, she suggested, would be misinformation.
"Just because Donald Trump says something on election night or suggests he might be winning, that is not going to be based in fact," she said. "Under no scenario will Donald Trump be declared the victor on election night."
Even if Trump appears to be the winner on election night, Dillon suggests that there's no reason Biden would concede even were Trump to be named the winner, or to appear as though victory is within his grasp.
That's outrageous, of course, because Dillon is saying her candidate will do exactly what he and she have said that President Trump would do. But that's Democrats; they always accuse their political opponents of what they themselves are doing.
But remember, this was always part of the plan (which leads us to believe Democrats never really thought that Biden had much of a chance).
Remember "Crooked Hillary Clinton" said over the summer?
***Love Trump? Stay Informed With Our FREE Trump News App***
"Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances," Clinton said in an interview, excerpts of which were published in late August. "Because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually, I do believe he will win, if we don't give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is."
'Eventually I do believe we win' sure sounds like code for, 'Biden and Democrats are going to drag out the election results long enough to steal them.'
Marxist Democrats are hell-bent on gaslighting our country into another civil war. What the Biden campaign is planning is just more proof of that.
