Army May Consider Buying Weapons Parts in Advance to Avoid Delays
The service should look at weapons buying “in a nonlinear way,” Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville said
The Army should consider stockpiling critical weapons parts to avoid replenishment delays in the event of a conflict, the service’s top uniformed leader said Wednesday.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine last February, the United States has pledged some $24.9 billion worth of weapons to Kyiv, from 155mm howitzer rounds to missiles, which, coupled with supply chain problems, has raised concerns about defense companies’ ability to restore stocks before the next conflict.
The Army could consider buying weapons “in a nonlinear way” from their “supply network” ahead of a potential conflict, Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville said during an Association of the United States Army event in Arlington, Virginia. An example would be purchasing in advance—and stockpiling—parts that take longer to get and cause delays.
“We may need to do things differently in the future. If it takes two years to build a certain missile…and we think we need a thousand of those systems, we need to take a look at how they're built,” McConville said. “So, the fact we have those long lead items, we actually reduce the resupply to three months rather than two years, you know just sitting on the shelf… So when something happens when you have the money, you can reduce the amount of time to stand up your organic industrial base or to start producing at the level you need.”
Because of the great need for artillery in the Ukraine war, the Pentagon has had to dip into its overseas stockpiles in South Korea and Israel, the New York Times reported.
Congress has been providing funding to help the Army ink contracts with defense companies to replenish their stock piles; however, that will take years. But McConville believes defense companies will respond to the increased demand.
“Industry is going to invest in areas that they think there's going to be a return on their investment. Many of these systems is going to have to be a long-range investment,” he said, adding, “My sense is if they see resources being put in, investments being made, and contracts being signed, they gotta get after that.”
Replenishing weapons and equipment is also an opportunity for the Army to buy the latest version of the system. For example, McConville said the Army would like the M113 armored personnel carriers it gave to Ukraine to be replaced with the newer armored multi-purpose vehicle, he said.
“So we're actually improving the readiness of the Army rather than buying or replenishing with old type things. So that's the philosophy… there is cost associated [with] that, but that is the intent of what we're trying to do when it comes to those systems.”


text: I’ve been reporting here for a while that tracking seems to indicate that “Speed Racer” looks like it’s in trouble, and Steve Mason’sprediction is that it will come in well behind the second weekend of “Iron Man,” which he prognosticates at around $45 million. Mase figures “Speed Racer,” which has received dreadful reviews (half a star from Kyle Smith, a rotten 33 percent positive at Rotten Tomatoes) will sputter into the marketplace with just $30 million over three days. Since family audiences are notoriously difficult to track, Mase says it’s possible that when the dust settles, “Speed Racer” could trail the dreadful “What Happens in Vegas” (1.5 stars from yours truly, 30 percent at RT) which he pegs at $21 million for the weekend. Mase is confounded that Sony Pictures Classics is expanding David Mamet’s “Redbelt” on a thousand screens. He expects it will come at No. 7 with $2.7 million, behind holdover comedies “Made of Honor,” “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay.” Check with Mase at Fantasy Moguls for box-office results over the weekend. I’ll be traveling and most likely will not return to blogging until Tuesday or Wednesday.

Gucci Spring Summer RTW 2017 at Milan Fashion Week
The sun descending in the west
The evening star does shine
The birds are silent in their nest
And I must seek for mine.
And so begins Gucci’s Ready to Wear Spring Summer show in Milan this week. An ever enigmatic Florence Welch recites William Blake’s Night over anthemic, pulsing strings. Lush pink banquettes line the Gucci striped carpet, and models emerge onto the catwalk through a 70’s inspired beaded curtain comprised of hundreds of mirrored tiles. A pink haze envelopes the theatre, the air is thick with rosy white smoke, obscuring the impossibly ornate pieces in this collection.
Alessandro Michele continues his reinvigoration of the Gucci brand since his appointment in early 2015. The pairing of William Blake and Florence Welch matches this season’s aesthetic perfectly-as Michele continues to embrace the dark romantic.
Tiered, tulle frocks emblazoned with glittering sequins bridged the gap between Victorian macabre and 1980’s opulence. Over half of the models had their solemn faces obscured by those enduring, oversized Gucci glasses, so favoured by the street style set. A few more were equally shrouded beneath voluminous hats of thick silk brocade. With most of the decision’s Michele makes one can only assume this was deliberate, perhaps to further represent the titular theme, “Magic Lanterns”. This title, paired with the Romantic era poetry and florid lighting suggests a pair of rose-coloured glasses unto the viewer, a skewed perception of reality only appreciable in dreams.
Certain pieces highlight the reason behind the brand’s popularity with today’s street style It girls and boys. An orange fur coat embellished with symmetrical zebras stands out-sure to make an appearance during the New York winter.
Structured bags featuring the classic GG jacquard alongside embroidered flowers, chains and snakeskin perfectly embody the brand’s unique meshing of styles in one statement piece.
An endearing secret is visible only upon close inspection of a Mandarin collared dress. Hidden amongst the Asian silkscreen inspired embroidery is several images of Disney’s Donald Duck.
In the show notes Michele invites us to “cultivate the unexpected”, a coy soundbite that aptly sums up the Gucci aesthetic under his reign. Sweet cotton candied coloured silk bows are paired with muted menswear inspired separates, black tied men are adorned in pink flowered trench coats; velvet platforms festooned with gold dragons and cherry blossoms are matched with mirror tiled pencil skirts.This eclecticism continues throughout the show as flowing dresses are nestled between androgynous suits, and 1980’s silhouettes march beside 1970’s denim flared jeans. Presented out of context these pieces may seem dissonant, chaotic even, but under Michele even the most dichotomous themes appear harmonious.
Is it this synchronicity that so inspires the fashion set to invest in Gucci pieces? It cannot be denied that Alessandro Michele’s whimsy has proven profitable for Kering, with registered sales of €3.9 billion euros last year, an increase of 11.5% over the previous year. In June, CEO Marco Bizzarri announced plans to grow the brand by double the market average, forecasting revenues to a staggering €6 billion euros in the undetermined future.
With such coveted, Instagrammable pieces present in this collection it is likely Bizzarri’s forecast may prove correct for this exciting brand.

Travel Channel’s ‘Ghost Adventures’ visits old home in New Castle
NEW CASTLE, Ind.Travel Channel producers have visited an old home in eastern Indiana to film a segment for a program called “Ghost Adventures” that explores paranormal activity.
Production manager Joe Mustachio tells The Courier-Times (http://bit.ly/14PQQ93 ) the Henry County home is of interest because it may have been a stop on the Underground Railroad and a murder may have occurred there in the early 1900s.
Show production coordinator Dan Rohn says, “The history of this place made us want to find out more.”
But County Historian Richard Ratcliff says the producers might have visited the wrong house. He believes the family murder the producers believe happened at the home actually occurred at another residence down the road.
Ratcliff also expressed skepticism about whether the house played a role in the Underground Railroad.

School restructuring raises alarms at Dist. 116
More than 250 spectators listen Monday to Round Lake Area Unit District Superintendent Constance Collins discuss a need to restructure due to poor academic performance.
Bob Susnjara | Staff Photographer
Round Lake Area Unit District 116 Superintendent Constance Collins says something must be done to bolster student academic performance -- and fast.
More than 250 spectators gathered at Round Lake High School's theater Monday night to hear about restructuring plans for the district.
Possible options include converting school buildings into "theme schools" or instituting a new literacy curriculum.
Collins said the state must have a plan by Feb. 1.
"The option of not doing anything is not an option," Collins said.
Collins said District 116's consistently poor performance on the state's annual report card and failure to meet federal No Child Left Behind guidelines are driving the need to drastically improve student achievement.
She said state officials recently had demanded a turnaround plan to be finalized by Friday, but she received an extension to Feb. 1.
District 116's deputy superintendent for teaching and learning, Veronica Lake, said possibilities include converting neighborhood elementary buildings into "theme schools" or grade-level centers. She said a theme school could be a building that focuses on fine arts, for example.
Collins said District 116's standardized test scores have been flat and below the state report card's annual yearly progress targets. She said all schools are on the state's academic warning status.
Collins said she does not favor options such as the state taking over District 116's academics or launching all charter schools. She said she also opposes the idea of having an outside company operate the schools or replace all teachers.
District 116 would try to "reset" the elementary schools, Lake said. She said a restructuring plan would include an aligned literacy curriculum, extensive data use and increased parent engagement.
Some of the speakers at Monday night's meeting questioned why they suddenly learned the restructuring was needed in such a short time and asked the district to not break up neighborhood schools.
Resident Joseph Ward gave his perception of how officials are handling the situation: "'Let's pass it, let's put it through and let's move on.'"
District 116 board members are expected to vote on the plan Jan. 28.

President Barack Obama said Wednesday he’s encouraged that the Syrian opposition has formed a new, more representative leadership council, but the U.S., unlike some other countries, isn’t ready to recognize the group as a “government in exile” or to arm it.
Obama told a White House news conference that his administration had been consulting intensively with foes of Syrian President Bashar Assad to broader their base, a step they took over the weekend a conference in Qatar.
“I am encouraged to see that the Syrian opposition created an umbrella group that may have more cohesion than they have had in the past,” Obama told reporters.
“We consider them a legitimate representative of the aspirations of the Syrian people,” Obama said. “We’re not yet prepared to recognize them as some sort of government in exile. But we do think that it is a broad-based representative group.”
France on Tuesday became the first Western nation to recognize the new opposition group as the only legitimate representative of the Syrian people.
Obama said the U.S. needed more time and wanted to make sure that the group “is committed to a democratic Syria, an inclusive Syria, a moderate Syria.” He also said the U.S. isn’t considering sending weapons to the opposition because of concerns the arms might fall into the hands of extremists.
“We have seen extremist elements insinuate themselves into the opposition and one of the things that we have to be on guard about, particularly when we start talking about arming opposition figures, is that we are not indirectly putting arms in the hands of folks that would do Americans harms, or do Israeli harm or otherwise engage in actions that are detrimental to our national security,” he said.

What have you been eating? Are you exercising enough?
These questions were easily drowned out amid waves of COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions. While maintaining healthy habits may seem unimportant compared to our other worries, it deserves more attention than you think — many of us are still battling unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lifestyles we developed during the lockdown. As the virus becomes less prevalent in our lives, it is time for us to focus again on leading healthier lives for greater happiness and productivity, and gamification can help with that.
Gamification is more than just the games that ordinary teenagers are addicted to these days. It is also not just the integration of game elements like points and scores into our everyday lives. Rather, as the early gamification pioneer Yu-kai Chou puts it, gamification is a design that uses all the “fun and engaging elements found in games” that motivate players and “applies them to real-world or productive activities.” Essentially, gamification is a human-centered design that focuses on motivating our core drives. If effectively applied, gamification can make being healthy not something you have to do, but something you actually want to do.
Gamification has become increasingly prevalent in our smartwatches as well as fitness and nutrition apps: think Fitbit, MyFitnessPal, Apple Health App, to name a few. Since people naturally struggle with sticking to and completing long-term goals, gamification helps you create a plan and tackle the long-term goal of maintaining good health by rewarding you for your short-term accomplishments and motivating you to consistently reach milestones and earn progress badges. For instance, if you are trying to build a running habit, being able to see your run completion data, collection of streaks and receive badges serves as empowering short-term rewards that may motivate you to maintain the habit.
Instead of browsing through the internet for workout and nutrition videos, you can follow engaging guided programs offered by these apps. The Fitbit app offers one to three weeks of personalized programs to help you develop better sleep habits, mindful eating and weight training. Depending on the types of goals you set, such as improving sleep quality or learning weight training, the app comes up with the best strategies to help you achieve your desired outcome, such as meditating before going to bed and suitable workout videos. It also engages you and keeps you on track by sending reminders throughout your day and shows your progress bar and streaks. The personalization aspect of gamification appeals to people’s desire for ownership over their health journey, and may drive more commitment to improvement.
Users can also connect and share their progress with friends, family or public groups with shared interests such as running or meditating to motivate each other. While people who are more driven by competition can join and create challenges with friends to engage in fun competition, others can join supportive online groups and collaborative challenges. These social features are just a few examples of how gamification can motivate us through social influence, by encouraging competition and collaboration.
A common concern may be that gamification encourages a toxic competitive culture where people are primarily driven by numbers and rankings, instead of truly appreciating the benefits they would gain from exercise. While there are people that are better motivated by competition—which is not necessarily toxic and can be friendly—other people can join supportive online communities and collaborate with friends and family to complete challenges. For example, Fitbit’s All for One and Custom Challenges allow up to 100 people to collaborate and reach a customized common goal, such as 100 combined hours of exercise over three weeks. These teamwork challenges are intended to make people feel bigger than themselves, since they are part of a group effort to achieve better health.
The potential and positive influence of gamification in healthcare have plenty of room for growth. While it may not be the only or the best way to motivate everyone to develop healthier habits, it is certainly one of the most promising and easily accessible.
In the coming years with technological advances, health apps may be groundbreaking tools that can transform our relationship with health and motivate people to engage in healthy behaviors. Take charge of your and your family’s health by giving gamification a shot.

I read with interest a UVA Today article about Andrew Ashcraft, a fourth year architecture student who has had the privilege of exploring attics and other hidden spaces at the University as an intern in the Historic Preservation team. Having been an inveterate explorer of the University’s nooks and crannies myself (with a particular fascination for Old Cabell Hall and the roof of Clark Hall), I envy Ashcraft his job. However, one paragraph caught my attention:
“His favorite view so far has been from the attic of Old Cabell Hall, where he could look down through an ornate false skylight into the building’s grand two-tiered theater.”
It may be a “false skylight” today, but it certainly didn’t start out that way. The evidence, as always, is the University’s collection of the photographs of Rufus Holsinger. In a collection of views of the Grounds dating to 1914 we get the photo below, showing the view of the stage but also the ceiling above:
That sure looks like a working skylight to me! The Library’s online exhibit on the work of McKim, Meade, and White (the designers of Old Cabell Hall) indicates that the skylight was eventually enclosed “to accommodate modern lighting equipment,” and from the stage you can see the lighting in the space that would originally have let natural sunlight in.
The University has a small tradition of enclosing skylights, apparently, or at least doubling them up. As an undergrad I learned from some of my older neighbors how to enter Clark Hall (originally the home of the Law School) at night and climb up to the dusty hidden room enclosed by the outer skylights and the inner skylights of the building. Yes, there are two layers of skylight. I haven’t been able to determine if this was the original design or a concession to weatherproofing. (You can see a hint of the double-layered design in this photo.)

545 & Co. // Rabbit, Rabbit Exhibitions – The Mount Desert Island area is home to hundreds of dedicated working artists: painters, actors, woodworkers, musicians, photographers, printmakers, poets, and filmmakers, to name a few. 545 & Co. is supporting our artists by organizing art shows, screenings, workshops, concerts, plays, and readings. Our inaugural event begins a series of art shows on the first of every month, which we’re calling Rabbit, Rabbit, after the old British superstition that for good luck, one should say “Rabbit, Rabbit” upon waking up on the first day of the month. Our larger goal is restore and renovate an old building, in order to offer artists’ studios, classrooms, equipment, and gallery and event space.
How are you making Maine a better place for young people?
I myself am not making Maine a better place for young people. I am giving young people the opportunity to make Maine a better place for themselves, and for their community. Since moving to Mount Desert Island in 2006, I knew at once that this place was undeniably, unmistakably unique. However, the seasonal nature of the town, as well as the local College of the Atlantic, makes for a transitory youth population. Many want to stay year-round, and many have skills and ambition to offer, but few are able to find the economic stability. I have met more talented, inspiring people on this island, and in this state, than I could even begin to count, but have seen the majority of them move – to New York, to Boston, to San Francisco, to Portland – where an established community of artists and musicians already exists. Last year, I followed suit and moved to Boston, lamenting that fact that Mount Desert Island could never be a mecca for young artists. Of course, Boston offered everything I could have wanted – any kind of music whenever I wanted to hear it, an abundance of artists to collaborate with, galleries at every turn, performances in the streets – but I just wasn’t happy. Within 9 months, I was back in Bar Harbor. Homeless, yes. But happy.
Soon after, with a small, dedicated group of ladies, the generosity of local businesses, and a whole bunch of anxious, excited artists, 545 & Co. was born, with two pairs of rabbit ears.
What challenges in your community are you addressing?
Our most palpable, pressing challenge at this moment would be a lack of available studio and practice spaces for artists and musicians, and few community gallery spaces downtown. An unfriendly housing market provides limited opportunities for year-round renters, which generally leads to frequent moving from place to place. Most artists that I know work out of a tiny little corner in their bedroom, or a suitcase, or a cardboard box. It’s really not very conducive to creating anything. Trust me. I’ve tried it. And like many small, seasonal towns in Maine, we rely heavily on summer tourism to make a living. Hectic summers and hard winters are strangers to few, and all too often our art and music ventures are the first to suffer. We are waiters, bartenders, line cooks, landscapers, gardeners, cashiers, housekeepers. We work in the summer and we try to survive the winter, because we refuse to leave. We are a demographic of artists that does not fit aesthetically into the niche art scene, so popular among summer tourists, which perpetuates a stereotypical, idealized representation of life in Maine, and which excludes us from our own community.
Who will benefit from your idea? How will people access and learn about the work you are doing?
545 & Co. aims not only to establish a space for artists to create their art and express themselves, but also share their work with our community through classes, events, and collaborations with other non-profit organizations and schools, both in the surrounding county and throughout Downeast Maine. Through our monthly art showcases, or Rabbit, Rabbit exhibitions, we are bringing artists, local businesses, schools and community members together on the first of every month, for the first time ever, in order to premier works of up-and-coming artists, who otherwise might not have the opportunity to show. Furthermore, through these events, as well as donations and grants, we intend on restoring and renovating an old, dilapidated space in downtown Bar Harbor, not only improving the overall aesthetic of our town, but also redirecting summer foot-traffic towards businesses on the outskirts.
What major successes would you like to see at the end or apex of your project?
At the summit of this project, I want to look upon this island and see, somewhere amidst an abundance of hotels and tourist shops, a dusty, decaying space finally remembered and restored. It’s a mid-summer night, and the air is mild and refreshing after a hot day. The doors of our gallery are swung wide open, with string lights and lanterns illuminating the gathering, and the sound of live music swirling through the air. Among the faces, I see college students, perhaps still new to the community and unfamiliar with many of the other guests, I see locals, many of whom moved here decades ago and have raised families, I see 20-somethings, 30-somethings, 40-somethings, some I know, some I have yet to meet, I see kids chasing each other, I see local businesses owners, and I see friends. On the walls, I see art everywhere – hanging from the ceiling, adorning the walls, residing in the corner, or the center of the room. I see a cocktail waiter with a tray of complimentary drinks, and appetizers made by enterprising and creative young caterers. Perhaps most importantly, though, I see passers-by wandering by, and welcomed in, where they experience our community from the inside out, not through a lens, or a postcard, or a t-shirt, or a table at a restaurant.
This is a night in the life of our project. This space will give our islands’ artists the ability to work for themselves, and contribute their creativity and skills to our community, bolstering our economic independence, our population, and our spirits.


I just updated to Dorico 4.3 today and was dismayed to find out that when I open the mixing window I can no longer resize it!!! What gives? Please, please, tell me you are going to fix this. As you can see the bottom of the instrument names are chopped off. But the chopped off is besides the point. WHY take away the ability to resize the mixing window? I just don’t understand why something so simple has been taken away.
You took away the min/max/restore button so don’t ask me if I’ve tried clicking that. That’s just wrong. EVERY Windows window should have min/max/restore button!
I have no trouble at all resizing the mixer window in Dorico 4.3 on my computer.
Are you auto hiding your taskbar? The mixing window shows up for me fully ONLY if I auto hide the task bar. But I don’t want to hide the task bar. Also, the title bar for the window does NOT show up if I don’t auto hide the task bar.
Are you using Windows 10?
fyi, the title bar is the part of the window with the min/max/restore and close button.
Click on my name and you’ll see my setup.
Ok, you are using a Mac. We are talking apples and oranges. It’s not a fair comparison. The code for Dorico on the Mac is different than the code for Dorico on Windows.
Please find a Windows machine that has Dorico 4.3 installed and try it.
Looks like this is a bug that should get fixed like yesterday.
The Dorico team would be in the best position to comment on that. Dorico is developed within the Qt framework for both platforms, and to the best of my knowledge the Dorico team ensures that things work the same on both.
In short, the steps to replicate my problem are in Windows 10 and Dorico 4.3:
- Disable auto hide of the task bar
- Open the mixing window (not the panel)
- The instrument names at the bottom of the faders are chopped off AND the title bar doesn’t even show up (the bar at the top of the window with the min/max/restore/close buttons).
Well, I’m here to tell you it’s not working on Windows 10 when the task bar is set to not auto hide.
I’ve worked as a developer for over 20 years for banks and other types of companies and I can tell you no matter what, something about the software has to be different to be able to speak to two completely different machines (Mac vs. Windows PC).
Note to developers: I appreciate all the hard work that went into this update, but it appears that the last couple updates have left out vital features, most notably tool tips, which were absent for the most part from 4.0 to 4.3; I did notice some starting to show up in 4.3. Please stop rushing these features, albeit very cool, to production without finishing them. I would rather pay for incremental updates, than get them for free but not fully completed.
- Tool tips (and I did get one response that it’s something to do with the IDE for your dev work, but that’s not my problem. Tool tips are a basic feature of modern software. Ok, in all fairness some tool tips are starting to show up, so thank you.
- Please note the issue with the mixing window I’ve outline above.
- It appears the grid at the bottom for note editor still doesn’t remember the horizontal and vertical size settings.
After some more experimenting, what I found that temporarily clears up the problem until you shut down Dorio and open a project again: Turn the auto-hide feature for the task bar on and off or off and on, depending what mode you had it in to begin with. Then show the mixing window and it comes up normally. But it will not come up for me normally without the extra setup of turning on/off auto hide for the task bar and then again turning off/on auto hide for the task bar.
After more testing, now if I even just click the mixing window button and then click it again, the issue with the task bar/title bar shows up again, and then I have to go through and show/hide the task bar again. This is maddening.
I’ve just checked this myself on Windows, and I have no problem resizing the Mixer window. I think it might be a good idea for you to take the following steps, to see if this resolves the problem you’re experiencing:
- Quit Dorico completely.
- Type Windows-R to bring up the Run prompt, enter regedit and hit Return.
- When the user access control prompt appears, confirm that you do want to allow Registry Editor to make changes.
- In Registry Editor, navigate to
- Delete the
dialogGeometry key, and all of is subways.
- Close Registry Editor.
- Restart Dorico.
Hopefully what you should now find is that all of Dorico’s windows and dialogs appear at the default size and position, including the Mixer.
Let me know how you get on.
Unfortunately, that did not fix the problem. I still don’t see the title bar; however, I do see things look better at the bottom of the window, that being, the instrument names are not cut off now.
Daniel, what version of Windows are you using? It’s not working for me and I have all the latest updates.
I’m using Windows 11, possibly not the very latest update because I rarely turn my PC on (it’s mostly for gaming, and I don’t get a lot of time for that, unfortunately).
However, no other Windows users – and they make up a sizeable minority of Dorico users – have reported this problem so far, so I think the issue is still going to be soluble on your system.
How many displays do you have connected to your PC? If there’s more than one, are they both the same resolution and pixel density, or do they differ?
The update just came out. I’m sure not everybody has updated to the newest version. does anyone on your team have Windows 10 and can confirm that it’s working on their machine?

Ten actors who became actors by accident
10. Anya Taylor Delight
Numerous entertainers at first entered the universe of acting through the demonstrating business. Yet, Anya Taylor Happiness’ entrance into the displaying scene was coincidental; truth be told, she entered this industry unintentionally. The US-conceived English entertainer is the star of the Netflix series ‘Gumby Pastor,’ and the as-of-late delivered legendary film ‘The North Man’; however, those open doors came thumping on his entryway when he entered the universe of MedLink.
During a meeting, Taylor Delight once made sense that when she saw a primary dark vehicle following her while she was strolling on the walkways of London, she got her canine and took off. However, this vehicle was the vehicle of unbelievable model Sarah Ducasse, who assisted her with starting as a model and at last became a commonly recognized name.
9. Hugh Jackman
To specify one of the leading entertainers in Hollywood, the primary name that strikes a chord is Hugh Jackman, who had the option to assume the part of the notable and focal person of the “X-Men” film Wolverine for over ten years. Before Jackman grabbed the eye of those engaged with the film “X-Men,” he showed up in certain shows and assumed parts.
However, somewhat later, he was offered the fundamental job in the film “X-Men.” He acknowledged showing up in this job, and this occurrence made karma thump on his entryway, and he turned into an extraordinary entertainer. Russell Crowe was initially scheduled to assume the part. Yet, he had recently shown up as Warrior, so he was eager to allow a more youthful ability to take control over the steerage of an expanding superhuman establishment.
8. Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence is one of the top abilities who has been the star of blockbuster establishments like The Appetite Games and featured in blockbusters like Mother and Don’t Turn Upward, so assuming you know she’s in any case, it’s by some coincidence. You will be astounded by the acting field.
In a new meeting, Lawrence made sense that he was on holiday in New York when one of the delegates of the displaying business requested that he be his model so he could take some photographs of him, which began his excursion into the universe of Hollywood. Sooner or later, she understands that she needs to be an entertainer over a model. Since she is the most lovely lady in the displaying field, she effectively enters the universe of Hollywood.
7. Carey Mulligan
Carey Mulligan has shown his acting ability since entering the acting field. Afterward, he had the option to turn into a renowned entertainer by playing in different movies, for example, “The Incomparable Gatsby” and “The Consuming Young Lady,” however the initial occasion when He entered the field of acting was totally by chance, and afterward everything became smooth for him.
The English entertainer conceded during a meeting that Carrey was expelled from 3 different acting schools when incredible entertainer and essayist Julian Fellowes talked at her school. Consequently, he jumped all over the chance and requested that Julian assist him along these lines. This gathering made Carey, at last, decide to play in the film “Pride and Bias.”
6. Joseph Pesci
As one of the entertainers who has turned into an unbelievable entertainer because of working with Martin Scorsese in films like “Goodfellas” and “The Irishman,” it isn’t business as usual to see him close to an entertainer like Robert De Niro. Peshi had just acted in one film before, a low-financial plan criminal film called “Sharkhar.”
This entertainer needed to leave his acting profession and begin his café. In any case, around then, Robert De Niro saw his film in the film and requested that he work with him in the movie “Seething Bull.”
5. Henry Golding
Even though Netflix’s “Consolation” got a ton of negative surveys recently, what numerous pundits couldn’t blame was the presence of exceptional entertainers like Henry Golding as Mr. William Eliot. Many have brought up that Golding has forever been a star, and this capacity has permitted her to sparkle in many movies and television series.
The English Malaysian entertainer recently functioned as a moderator on a BBC travel show and afterward facilitated an honors occasion, which got the attention of one of the casts of The Asians. They were searching for a new ability to play Scratch Youthful, so he was projected.
4. Harrison Passage
The tale of how Harrison Passage turned into an entertainer could become Hollywood’s most unbelievable story. This excursion made him the leading man in Indiana Jones and Cutting Edge Sprinter. It is expressed that, at first, this entertainer couldn’t get a decent line of work and filled in as a craftsman to help his loved ones.
During one of his meetings, he said that this drove him to meet George Lucas during the 70s, and afterward, he tried out for the Han Solo in Star Wars job and did so well that he, in the long run, got the job. Fortunately, the primary film he featured in turned into an establishment hit. Afterward, he became the main man in the Indiana Jones motion pictures.
3. Michael K. Williams
The awful and less-than-ideal demise of Michael K. Williams last year made many individuals notice his specialty in acting. The craftsmanship he displayed by assuming the part of Omar Minimal in the series “Shood” and Albert Pasty White in “Footpath Domain” astounded the crowd. Also, his demise caused many individuals to recollect how he incidentally entered the acting field.
The story goes that Williams wanted to land a job in a music video, so she took photographs of herself. Tupac sees pictures of Williams and quickly understands that she is ideally suited for the film he needs to make, and Williams gives a fantastic presentation.
2. Charlize Theron
Most would agree that Charlize Theron is viewed as one of the notable entertainers in Hollywood. Yet, she was extremely fortunate to have the option to enter the acting field. In a meeting with Oprah, Theron said he went to the bank to cash the check, yet the bank wouldn’t acknowledge out-of-state checks. Luckily, somebody ventures forward to help him. This individual was, honestly, one of the Hollywood headhunters who caused Theron to become a conspicuous entertainer.
This headhunter was named John Crosby, who additionally brought individuals like John Hurt to Hollywood, so he was undoubtedly the person who assisted Theron with becoming a significant entertainer. Lately, this entertainer has shown up in real-life movies, for example, “Frantic Max: Rage Street,” “Nuclear Blonde,” and the “Quick and Irate” establishment.
1. Chris Pratt
From playing parody in front of an audience to turning into a depicted famous whiz character in “Gatekeepers of the System” and “Jurassic World” and will before long sparkle in the new “Mario Siblings” film, Chris Pratt’s ascent in Hollywood is likewise was very unintentionally, albeit the main film wherein he seemed was not exceptionally effective.
In a new meeting, the entertainer made sense that when working at the Migosazi organization, his energy and steadiness pulled in the consideration of Commando star Ri Wear Chang, one of the chiefs who around then needed to make his most memorable component film. To coordinate, even though this film was not a fruitful film using any means, the presence of Chris Pratt in it made him show his acting ability well and, before long, become a famous entertainer.

Shaheen’s proposal comes as Democrats and Republicans continue to debate how to best overhaul the tax code, even as both parties acknowledge that the 4 million-word tax code needs to be simplified. The National Taxpayer Advocate, an in-house watchdog of the IRS, has also long called on Congress to make the tax code less complex.
At the same time, IRS officials have also complained that recent budget cuts have hurt the agency's ability to assist taxpayers, and to collect revenue. The IRS has also said that staffers could face furloughs after the completion of the current filing season.
Shaheen says up to 40 percent of people in the U.S. could be helped by her bill – to the tune of up to 225 million fewer hours spent on compliance, and as much as $2 billion in fewer payments for tax preparation.
According to the New Hampshire Democrat’s office, unmarried taxpayers who claim the standard deduction would at first be able to use the “simple return,” with eligibility to later expand to those with more complex returns.
Under the bill, the IRS would tell taxpayers if the “simple return” is an option, and send the one-page return to those who accept. Eligible taxpayers could then file electronically, after ensuring their information is correct.

I come to praise Kepler, not to bury it…
The Kepler Mission is one of the little NASA spacecraft that so frequently comes along, exceeds all expectations and changes our perspective of the universe.
There is a good Quick History of the transit method and Kepler Mission concept on the website.
Otto Struve noted in his seminal 1952 note that planetary “eclipses” of their parent stars ought to be detectable by photoelectric methods, a proposal that some two decades later was quantified by Rosenblatt, and then explored in detail (including development research) by Borucki and collaborators at NASA Ames.
A space based transit mission was first proposed more than 20 years ago, and was highly rated, IF the detector technology could get to the point where very low transit amplitudes could be measured and small radii planets detected. The review also noted that there would be significant secondary astrophysical science accomplished by any such mission.
A decade later, Kepler was finally selected, the fourth time it was proposed to the Discover class medium size NASA mission. By that point the detector technology was mature, a testbed demonstrator had been built, and the concept of transit observations of exoplanets had been demonstrated both from the ground, and from space, using the Hubble Space Telescope. The latter demonstrated that very high precision relative photometry was in fact achievable from space.
Kepler launched in March 2009, just over 4 years ago.
It had a nominal mission life of three years, and a main mission goal to find earth size planets in the habitable zone of solar like stars.
After the nominal mission, Kepler was given a three year mission extension to 2016, to continue the continuous monitoring of the 150,000 or so stars in the Kepler field.
Kepler has discovered almost 3,000 planetary candidates, of which about 100 have been confirmed through a variety of techniques, and, statistically, most of the rest are likely to be real planets.
Kepler has not quite found earth like planets in the habitable zone, yet.
It is heartbreakingly close to doing so.
More time for observations is needed, primarily because the stars being observed are a little bit noisier than expected. The periodic signal from the planetary transits can be dug out of the noise, but more observations of repeated transits are needed to get the signals out as you approach the limit of detectability.
Six years of observations ought to get Kepler to its goal of detecting earth size planets orbiting stars similar to the Sun at a distance where liquid water can persist on the planet’s surface.
To operate, Kepler’s orientation has to be held very stably to view the stars it is looking at. To do that it uses reaction wheels:
Kepler needs three reaction wheels to stay on target.
Any less and the spacecraft drifts, losing lock on the stars.
It has thrusters but cannot use those to stay on target for any length of time before they run out fuel.
Kepler carries 4 reaction wheels. They are heavy and expensive.
That is one spare.
One reaction wheel, wheel #2, failed in 2012.
A second reaction wheel started to show symptoms of degradation a few months ago. Twice in the last few weeks the spacecraft has safed, gone to a rest pointing, while the reaction wheels were despun with the thrusters, and diagnosis tests runs.
Reaction wheels are moving parts, they wear and tear, and have finite life expectancies.
Since the reaction wheels are all the same, they are vulnerable to common mode failure.
Then, last night Kepler went into a safe mode, again.
Switching back to reaction wheel mode the diagnosis showed reaction wheel #4 had seized.
That is the end of Kepler’s primary science mission.
The data is in the archives available for analysis. There will be no more.
It is just short of finding the other Earth.
So very very close..
Kepler can do some stuff with only three reaction wheels, basically driftscan observing. It is a wide band wide field optical telescope with a 1 m mirror.
Whether it is worth doing so to keep the spacecraft going will be an interesting decision.


INDO PUMP was born out of the necessity of a forward integration of its mother company MARUTI SEALS, manufacturing high quality mechanical seals of all varieties for all capacity ratings of pumps, since 1990. Maruti Seals have wide experience, not only in their own product lines, but also in allied lines of pump manufacturing and maintenance. This prompted the company to go for a forward integration to special pump manufacturing - Indo Pump.The setup at Indo Pump is self sustaining and starts with the premise that basic quality of any product is hidden in its design. Thus, Indo Pump has a full fledged design department, engaged not only in new pump designs, but also in continuous upgradation.

If you’re into music, you may know that the band DNC-N is best known for their music video for their song “Spectral DNC-N”. However, the band’s most recent album, “DNC-N”, has been released and it is well received. It includes such hit songs as “Spectral DNC-N”, “Spectral DNC-N” (and more recently “Spectral DNC-N” (feat.
Spectral DNC-N is a bit of a departure for the band, though in general they are known for their more pop-oriented songs. From what we can tell, Spectral DNC-N is a more mature album, with a more mature sound on the songs. We think the band has matured since Spectral DNC-N, and are even more excited to hear what they will do next.
The band has also appeared on a few shows that have been well received, including one that brought the crowd to their feet, and another that had the crowd laughing. We can’t wait to see what other bands that will do.
When we say that we look at each song with affection, that’s a little like saying that you’re going to buy a brand new set of watches, or that you’re going to watch a series of movies that you don’t think are going to be good. We don’t want to say that, either. We really like the way the band has turned out, but we’re also excited to see what the future holds.
Just think what kind of album would be on a digital CD. It would have to be a really good album that would have a good sound, music, and really good lyrics, plus some of the most popular songs by artists, some of the best lyrics, and some of the most memorable moments that we’ve seen in a long time.
You could think about what makes a good movie, or a good album, or a great song, or a great video game, and compare it to what you think your favorite band would sound like if they were to record them in the future. But in that case, we would be comparing a band that was as popular as the Beatles to a band that was as popular as a band who just happened to be a former pop band.
When we were all growing up, there was a pop band called the Beatles. They were a band made up of Beatles. It was a pop band, but it was also a Beatles. That’s a very subjective thing, but that’s what people think. But the Beatles were the most popular pop band of all time. They were a hit for several decades, in the seventies, in the eighties, and even now.
One of the biggest reasons for their success was that they came up with catchy songs, and could play multiple instruments. They were also a really good musicians, and they knew how to play the guitar like they were a rock group. They also had a great sense of humor, which made them popular with people who like quirky music. They also had a really interesting attitude about life, and they were willing to put in the extra effort to get their act together.
They definitely had a reputation for being pretty strange, and that reputation has been used to their benefit throughout their career. They were also pretty good at coming up with catchy songs, good musicians, and good songs, which makes them a perfect candidate for the second part of this list. They had a great sense of humor, and they could play multiple instruments, which makes them a perfect candidate for the third part of this list.
Their sense of humor is definitely a must in this list. They were funny little guys with big ideas, but they also had a tendency to throw their ideas at people that they found irritating. That’s because they had a tendency to use their ideas to get others to laugh at their own idiocies. They also had one of the more unique personalities in the game industry, and that’s probably why they got so much love from the gaming press.

For this purpose, I first analyse the so called Great Speech of Plato's Protagoras as a source for Protagoras' ethical and political ideas (Chapter II). In the light of this, I suggest that an alternative reading of the Man Measure Doctrine is possible in a political ethical context (Chapter III). My interpretation of Protagoras' peri then ('on the gods') fragment suggests a new understanding of the sophist's epistemological views (Chapter IV).

ASHEVILLE – A pair of projects administered by N.C. Department of Transportation will result in big dividends for Buncombe County.
Together, the projects will create a new connection from Smokey Park Highway to Sandhill Road, complete the bridge to nowhere and provide roadway access for new Buncombe County industries.
NCDOT crews will build a 0.2-mile extension of Walk Off Way in Enka to provide access to the new Haakon Industries facility. Construction will start when weather permits this month and be completed later this spring.
This $1.3 million project is funded through the NCDOT Economic Development Program, which creates funding for the expressed purpose of providing roadway access to industries.
Haakon Industries manufactures large air conditioning units and plans to add approximately 100 jobs in its first five years and invest more than $12 million at the site.
The second project is slated to start in April and finish this fall. The new road will connect Walk Off Way to the existing bridge over Hominy Creek and will include a new signal at the Smokey Park Highway intersection. This $3.2 million project is funded by Buncombe County, the developer and the Appalachian Resource Commission.
“We are delighted to help create economic development in Buncombe County,” Division 13 Engineer Mark Gibbs said. “These two projects will provide beneficial jobs to the community as well as better traffic flow for residents in the surrounding area.”

Donald Trump is ramping up his campaign for the 2024 election.
And he has identified the Governor of Florida as his main competition in the Republican Primary.
But Trump’s latest left-wing attack on Ron DeSantis left Christians scratching their heads.
Former President Donald Trump’s third Presidential campaign can be categorized the same as his past White House runs – unorthodox.
Generally, candidates play to their party’s base of voters in the primary, then try to move somewhat to the middle in the general election.
However, Trump has oddly chosen to run to Governor DeSantis’s left in the Republican primary, much the same as an establishment RINO or outright Democrat would.
Though DeSantis has not yet officially announced his candidacy, all signs point to the Florida Governor hopping in the race soon.
Trump tried to sell the argument that the Governor somehow mishandled COVID, and that Florida is somehow worse off because of DeSantis’ policies – even though they were supposedly his policies just a few months ago – both nonsensical Democrat talking points.
Now, Trump is running to DeSantis’ left on abortion.
Recently, Governor DeSantis signed a bill banning abortions in the state of Florida after six weeks, joining other states that have adopted a more pro-life position in light of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
But Trump called DeSantis’ pro-life bill “too harsh.”
Trump told the press that DeSantis “has to do what he has to do… If you look at what DeSantis did, a lot of people don’t even know if he knew what he was doing. But he signed six weeks, and many people within the pro-life movement feel that that was too harsh.”
That is a strange tack for Trump to take considering he has touted himself as a resolutely pro-life President.
He used to boast about just how pro-life he was – the most pro-life President ever, was his claim.
“For 50 years, they’ve been trying to get rid of Roe v. Wade,” Trump previously claimed. “I was able to do it. Nobody else could have done that but me. And I was able to do it [by nominating] three excellent judges on the Justices of the Supreme Court.”
“What it did more than anything else is it gave us a tremendous power of negotiation, which we didn’t have, the pro-life movement, a tremendous power of negotiation,” he added. “Now the pro-life movement has the power to negotiate a deal that’s acceptable for them.”
A lifelong New York Democrat, true conservatives had always been skeptical of Trump’s position on abortion, but his record as President was solid.
However, Donald Trump’s attacking Ron DeSantis as if he’s too pro-life is a strange strategy that could certainly hurt him in the Primary with social conservatives.
Stay tuned to Conservative Underground News for any updates to this ongoing story.

30 years since the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope
Thirty years ago today, the Hubble Space Telescope took to the skies aboard STS-31 and Space Shuttle Discovery. Commander Loren Shriver, Pilot Charlie Bolden, and mission specialists Bruce McCandless II, Steven Hanley, and Kathryn Sullivan made up the five-person crew of this historic liftoff. STS-31 had been plagued by numerous delays and launch scrubs; an initial launch attempt was foiled 14 days earlier due to a faulty valve in Discovery’s auxiliary power unit which needed to be replaced, resulting in the need to recharge Hubble’s battery.
On launch day, the countdown was halted just 31 seconds prior to liftoff when Discovery’s onboard computers failed to shut down a valve line on the launch pad’s ground support equipment. Luckily, launch controllers were able to identify and troubleshoot the issue, and the historic launch proceeded. The launch marked the culmination of nearly twenty years of research, design, and development.
A true modern marvel of engineering, Hubble features a 2.4 meter diameter mirror and gathers as much light in 1 minute as a 160mm (6.3”) telescope would require 3 hours and 45 min to gather. When first launched, scientists monitoring the telescope discovered a problem with its mirror’s optics and noticed the images being sent back down to earth were blurry. Once news of the flawed images reached the public, the nation believed the telescope (and subsequent tax dollars) was an enormous failure, and that NASA was incapable of tackling such an enormous investment. However, in late 1993, seven astronauts embarked on a bold mission to install “flaw correcting” equipment along with a new camera known as WFPC2, hopefully saving the space program’s reputation.
On December 2, 1993, STS-61 lifted off. Aboard space shuttle Endeavor were astronauts Richard Covey, Kenneth Bowersox, Kathryn Thornton, Claude Nicollet Jeffrey Hoffman, Story Musgrave and Thomas Akers, tasked with the critical mission of correcting the telescope’s vision. Spending more than a week in orbit, they completed a record-setting five consecutive days of spacewalks during that mission. Scientists on the ground held their breath. If the telescope could not be repaired on a spacewalk, the agency would have to concede to the fact that Hubble was a failure. However, once the telescope sent back its first images after the spacewalk, scientists were stunned by the clarity and depth of the images it provided. The spacewalk was a success and would mark the first of ultimately five missions that would be undertaken specifically to service Hubble.
Hubble’s camera provides deep, detailed views of the universe, which represent a small sample of the heavens but which on a grander scale are considered to be representative of the typical distribution of galaxies in space. This gives scientists a snapshot of what our universe looks like. The Hubble Telescope has also led to breakthroughs in astronomy and astrophysics, such as determining the rate of the universe’s expansion and by characterizing the atmosphere of alien planets.
Hubble also played an important role in connecting the sometimes-separate worlds of human space exploration and scientific study. In a 2013 Space.com article dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the historic STS-61 repair mission, NASA Astronaut Richard Covey is quoted as reminiscing at a crew reunion in November 2013 that “In my mind, there’s the human spaceflight program, and there’s the space science stuff — and occasionally, they had to deal with each other because the science guys needed a ride, or there were some shuttle missions that were dedicated to science.” Continuing, “But still, there was a lot of ‘them’ and ‘us.’ This mission bridged that gap in a way that I had not seen before in the space-shuttle program.”
Early skeptics of the Hubble project questioned why the same images could not be produced using ground-based telescopes. However, in order to obtain the clearest images of the universe, the telescope needed to be above earth’s atmosphere to avoid blurry images. The atmosphere filters out some of the wavelengths of light in ground-based telescopes that scientists are interested in seeing. The obvious solution came in the form of an orbiting telescope.
Launched on a space shuttle, the telescope was limited to the size of the cargo bay, which is roughly the size of a Greyhound Bus. Hubble flies about 340 miles above earth and completes an orbit about every 97 minutes. Due to the hypersensitivity of its lenses, Hubble cannot point toward the sun, meaning it can only look at half of the sky at any given time. Whenever Hubble is not actively capturing images, scientists use that “down” time to do calibrations and routine work that can be completed from the ground.
Hubble was designed to be refreshed by astronauts on service missions flown on the space shuttle. In order to properly service Hubble, the shuttle had to connect directly to the telescope via the Canadarm. From there, astronauts would perform a spacewalk to install new parts or repair broken parts. Some components were modular and easily replaced while others required servicing the telescope from the inside, using special tools designed to make the necessary repair. These service missions took years of preparation, but played a significant role in making Hubble more scientifically productive today than ever.
The final update to Hubble in 2009 included the installation of two brand-new instruments, the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) and WFC3. The astronauts on Servicing Mission 4 also performed on-site repairs for the telescope’s two other instruments, the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), both of which had stopped working. Crew members additionally replaced Hubble’s 18-year-old batteries with new ones, installed six new gyroscopes, and added a brand-new Fine Guidance System to point the instrument.
Thanks to these critical service missions, Hubble is expected to last well into 2020.
So, what happens after Hubble? Scientists at NASA are currently planning for the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST or Webb), planned to complement and extend the discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope with longer wavelength coverage and greatly improved sensitivity. The longer wavelengths will enable JWST to look much closer to the beginning of time and to hunt for the unobserved formation of the first galaxies, as well as to look inside dust clouds where stars and planetary systems are forming today.

Game show "Jeopardy" was sharply criticized Friday evening after the answer to a question identified a famous church in Bethlehem as being located in Israel.
The final question of the night's first round came under the category, "Where's that Church?" The clue stated, "Built in the 300s A.D., the Church of the Nativity."
Contestant Katie Needle first answered, telling host Alex Trebek, "What is Palestine?" But Trebek told Needle her answer was incorrect. Contestant Jack McGuire then followed up, telling Trebek, "What is Israel?" McGuire's answer was the correct answer, Trebek declared.
In response, "Jeopardy" was slammed on social media because Bethlehem, the city where the Church of the Nativity is located, is technically under control of the Palestinian Authority.

Indeed, both the Church of the Nativity and the city of Bethlehem are under the direct control of the Palestinian Authority since the signing of the Oslo II Accords in 1995. However, Israel maintains total control over access points to popular tourist areas in the West Bank, including Bethlehem.

Jeff Gordon has never been one to want to share records with anyone. Sunday the four-time champion was able to break a tie with his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson by winning his fifth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In doing so Gordon becomes the all time NASCAR winner at the famed speedway.
Gordon took the lead with a determined drive on the last restart with 17 laps to go as he powered by Kasey Kahne entering turn one . From there Gordon, who won the first Brickyard 400 20 years ago was able to stretch out his lead and cruise to victory. It was his second win of the season and the 90th of his long Sprint Cup career.
Kyle Busch was second nearly two seconds behind, Denny Hamlin was third, Matt Kenseth fourth and Joey Logano fifth.
“I don’t think there is a greater feeling for a race car driver and a race team,” an emotional Gordon said. MORE>>>

The Norway pad has won more championships all over the world than all other pads combined. Waterproof cover fabric with optimal surface texturing render the pad “fast”, but effective, while the “peak and valley” pattern both polishes and cleans the pebble.
More Slams, national championships, international championships and Olympic medals have been won by Norway pads in the past three years than all other pads combined. These points explain why.
- The fine textured cover fabric balances ease of motion and surface friction – the result is faster sweeping speed and optimal effect of pad on pebble.
- The cover fabric is waterproof, hence the underlying foam stays dry and light; further, the fabric itself retains it’s intended friction with the ice surface.
- The “peak and valley” pattern not only polishes the pebble, but also cleans frost and dirt in the rock path.
