31st Annual TFAS Scholarship Dinner Recognizes Examples of Honorable Leadership
TFAS supporters, alumni and friends gathered on Sept. 14 at the 31st Annual TFAS Scholarship Awards Dinner to recognize the 2021 TFAS students and prominent leaders in the business and government relations community.
TFAS presented the Congressional Leadership Award to U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska and the Business Leadership Award to Suzanne Clark, President and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, for their contributions to free enterprise and building up the next generation of leaders.
In his acceptance speech, the senator shared insight from his experience and explained the importance of the work TFAS does for the world’s youth. He elaborated on the meaning of good leadership and thanked the exceptional leaders who helped him along the way, including Judge James Buckley and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
“One of the things I admire most about The Fund for American Studies,” Sullivan said, “is that in the teaching of the principles, the focus all of you have is not just on limited government and free enterprise, but also on the need for what you call ‘honorable leadership.’”
Sullivan continued, discussing the value of service to one’s country, the importance of democracy, and the growing need for educational programs like TFAS. He noted the current inflection point in the battle of big ideas, particularly those relating to government. Democracy can be messy, he explained, but it remains the best governance system. For that reason, faith in it must remain.
“We need all of you, your commitment to American ideals of limited government, free markets and honorable leadership now more than ever,” Sullivan concluded. “And I really, really am honored by the award I received tonight.”

My internship experience coupled with my economics and public policy classes has really allowed me to build my skills not only as a writer and a leader, but as a citizen of this country.” – Mickaela Ramos ’21, Biola University
“I came to TFAS looking for the opportunity to hone my skills in leadership in Washington, D.C., and explore my future career,” Ramos said. “My internship experience coupled with my economics and public policy classes has really allowed me to build my skills not only as a writer and a leader, but as a citizen of this country.”

Presenting The 2021-22 Robert Novak Journalism Fellows
TFAS is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2021-22 Robert Novak Journalism Fellowship: Kevin Daley, Emma Freire, Sonner Kehrt, Nate Hochman, Micah Meadowcroft, Oliver Wiseman and Kenny Xu.
The annual Fellowship provides early-career journalists the opportunity to pursue year-long projects on topics related to the principles of a free society through grant funding.
This year’s cohort of outstanding journalists from across the U.S. will dive into serious reporting on today’s most pressing issues. Fellows will explore several topics, including the background and effects of affirmative action, the rise of privatized and personal security, young conservative voter sentiment, how online connectivity affects humanity, the effects of classical education on civic responsibility, a study of “urban Republicans,” and race in American institutions.
TFAS Continuing Education Program Manger and new Novak Fellowship Program Manager Ryan Wolfe says this year’s Fellows are working to seek the truth in the spirit of the Fellowship’s namesake, Robert Novak.
“The Novak Fellowship provides a unique opportunity for young journalists to rise above day-to-day media fights and engage in deep reporting on important, yet overlooked, trends affecting our country,” Wolfe said. “Through this work, Fellows will exemplify the kind of journalism that Robert Novak practiced throughout his career: fearlessly questioning the dominant media narrative to get to the truth.”

Misleading headlines appeared in newspapers this week, claiming that global deforestation was increasing. In fact, the report on which these headlines were based reluctantly admits that net deforestation is actually decreasing, as more felling is offset by new forest being restored or planted.
In Britain this is especially true. A century ago, our island was less than 5 per cent woodland. Today woodland covers nearly three times as much land, at 13 per cent, and is probably almost as wooded as it was in mediaeval times. In this we are like other wealthy countries. Europe as a whole is steadily becoming more wooded. New England on the American east coast went from 30 per cent to 75 per cent woodland a little over a century, even as its population rapidly increased.
Pressure groups like the Woodland Trust would like to see Britain still more heavily forested and complain that we are not planting enough trees every year. Maybe, but it is time to stop obsessing over the number of trees planted and start thinking about the quality, not the quantity, of our woodland.
There are about 3.8 billion trees in Britain. Far too many of them, especially in the uplands, are sitka spruce or lodgepole pine trees: alien species planted here in straight lines by the Forestry Commission (FC), or by private landowners with grants from the FC. They were established with subsidies from the taxpayer during the heyday of the failed policy of trying to develop an internationally competitive timber industry in windy, cool Britain. These blocks of even-aged trees are an eyesore, poor in wildlife, bad for flooding and often established by digging trenches in peat, which is bad for carbon storage.
By contrast, ancient, semi-natural woodland, rich in birds, toadstools, butterflies and flowers, was ravaged during the 20th century by the FC itself. Astonishingly a patch of such ancient woodland was far less likely to survive if it belonged to this arm of the state than if it was in private hands. Even as private property, much of this kind of woodland was often “commercialised” with conifers at the behest of the FC. Belatedly, the commission has tried to turn itself into the guardian of ancient woodlands, but it still encourages the planting of exotic species rather than regeneration of native trees.
This needs to change. The woodlands we want are not closed-canopy forests of trees all the same age, but patchy woods with glades where oaks can spread their branches, while scrubby birch, hawthorn and rowan jostle with bracken and heather for sunlight, views can be glimpsed from hill tops and butterflies dance in the sunny clearings.
I walked through a gorgeous woodland in Scotland last month: old Caledonian pines scattered across a hillside, cep mushrooms bursting around their roots, crossbills calling from the tree tops, deer browsing on juniper shrubs and wide views of distant peaks. It was not thickly enough planted to qualify as “forest”, but it was magnificent woodland. This is what nature most likes – and the human spirit too.

WASPS TEAM TO PLAY HARLEQUINS
Wasps Director of Rugby Dai Young has named his team to take on Harlequins at the Ricoh Arena this Sunday (2pm kick off), in Round 14 of the Aviva Premiership.
Wasps are boosted by the return of Welsh lock Bradley Davies, who is named in the starting line-up, having been released back to the Club by Wales before their RBS 6 Nations match against Scotland.
There are also returns for England Saxons Joe Simpson, Christian Wade, Matt Mullan and James Gaskell after a week off during the LV=Cup, who join fellow Saxons Elliot Daly and Jake Cooper-Woolley in the side.
James Downey, who arrived this week on loan from Glasgow Warriors for the remainder of the season, is set to make his Wasps debut in the centre, alongside Elliot Daly. Downey arrives as injury cover for Chris Bell and Alapati Leiua.
Thomas Young, Ed Jackson and Will Helu retain their places in the side after impressing in the LV=Cup, with Helu moving from the centre to the wing.
Dai Young said: “We are looking forward to a return to the Aviva Premiership this Sunday at the Ricoh Arena and we all know how important the next block of games is. We have worked really hard to get ourselves into a pretty reasonable position, sitting in fourth spot in the league table, at this time of year.
“I believe the next month, starting today against Quins, will determine whether we cement ourselves in the top six, or whether we end up chasing our tails towards the end of the season.
“It’s so tight that two losses and you could end up in 9th or 10th position in the table, two wins and you could cement yourselves in the top four or five.
“We’ve already played Quins three times this season and we expect another intense match. Both clubs know how important this game is.
“Results have probably gone against the grain in the last three encounters. They beat us at The Stoop in the league and Adams Park in Europe, but then we went to the Stoop and won there in our European match, so it shows how close these games are between the two sides.
“It’s very much about the performance on the day. The team who is in the best position emotionally on the day and makes less mistakes tend to come out on top, regardless of whether it’s home or away.
“We’re unbeaten at the Ricoh in the league and Europe and we are determined to turn the Ricoh into a fortress. The only way to continue building that fortress mentality is to carry on winning. So it’s up to us to put in a performance we can be proud of, to get the result we want.”
Unavailable for selection through injury are Phil Swainston, John Yapp, Joe Launchbury, Sam Jones, Charlie Davies, Jack Moates, Sailosi Tagicakibau, Chris Bell, Ben Jacobs, Josh Bassett, with Ashley Johnson suspended and James Haskell and Andrea Masi away on international duty.

Frenzy and panic ruled the day in Port Harcourt and Akure Tuesday morning especially at the schools.
It was replica of the same incident witnessed in the South East states last week.
Tuesday before noon, parents had besieged schools in Port Hacourt and Akure to take their children home.
Our reporters at the cities said frenzy took a better of the day and stopped school activities as news circulated that people in military uniform had come to the schools to immunize the children by force
In panic response, parents swooped on the schools to stop their children from taking the vaccination as the rumours spread that such vaccination is poisonous and causes Monkey Pox.
This rumour has however been denied severally by the military

Future Actions towards Climate Change: The Role of Threat Perception and Emotions
This work explores the emotional activation (anxiety, fear, and anger) resulting from the cognitive-emotional process related to the perception of climate change: a) when climate change is considered the result of human action (anthropogenic) and b) when climate change is considered the result of the planet’s natural activity. An experimental study was conducted with 104 participants exposed to two types of messages about the causes of climate change. The results showed that exposure to the anthropogenic influence led to greater perception of threat to humans. Moreover, the participants in the anthropogenic sample expressed more anxiety and anger (negative emotions) than did the participants believing that climate change was due to the planet’s natural activity. Fear was not significant. Additionally, we verified the differential role of emotions, depending on the type of future behavior intention: emotions act as mediators between the perception of future climate threats and future collective pro-environmental behavior action, while the perception of threat acts directly on future individual pro-environmental behavior intention.
Keywords: Global warming, negative emotions, threat perception, pro-environmental behavior intention.

Indian paper suggests that New Delhi discards deep-rooted perception the Island nation is simply an extension of India.
The writer in the Indian Express article says Mauritius is not just an extension of India. India calls Mauritius’Chota Bharat’.
For non-Hindi speakers, ‘Chota Bharat’ means ‘Little India’. New Delhi refers to Mauritius as such since the days of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
C. Raja Mohan reminds India that Mauritius is a sovereign entity “with a unique national culture and an international identity of its own.
He says Delhi needs to change the lens through which it sees the country.
He speaks about the diaspora with which India relates to Mauritius and certainly the strategic significance of Mauritius. India is renewing the power game in the Indian Ocean.
Mauritius is said to have granted the grand ally an Island on its own to build a ‘defence’ system. More or less it is like a miniature landmark compared to the Diego Garcia power base occupied by the Americans.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi saw Mauritius as part of India’s neighbourhood and invited its leaders to join his inauguration along with other South Asian leaders.
“It was during his visit to Mauritius in 2015 that Modi unveiled an ambitious policy called the SAGAR (security and growth for all).
“It was India’s first significant policy statement on the Indian Ocean in many decades. Delhi has some ways to go before it can translate the logic of SAGAR into effective outcomes on the ground.”
Not everything was well between Mauritius and India since 2014. But the victory of Pravind Jugnauth, though tainted with claims of electoral fraud, is seen by New Delhi as a sign.
NEW GENERATION OF LEADERS
It says to India the country has found a replacement to the elderly statesmen who were once the mighty political animals on the Island.
The defeat of the Labour Party (PTR) and the MMM of Paul Berenger in the recent poll is revealing.
And the writer is right on this point, that is India should now look at Mauritius as a matured partner.
“Its leaders are also conscious of the island’s special place in the Indian Ocean as a thriving economic hub and an attractive strategic location. Although it is quite small with just 1.3 million people, Mauritius has been punching way above its weight.”
He calls on India to explore the immense possibilities for elevating India’s strategic partnership “with an island that is looking beyond sugar plantations to financial services and technological innovation.”
The writer calls Mauritians geniuses and its location is crucial as it is is a stepping stone to multiple geographies.
He talks of new investments that are pouring into Africa. Hence Mauritius can be the fulcrum for India’s own African economic outreach.
His advice is that India should look at Mauritius as the leading nation in a collectivity of Islands.
This will make Mauritius the pivot of New Delhi’s island policy. But provided this pivot can facilitate a number of Indian commercial deals.
He suggested activities such as banking gateway, the hub for flights to and from Indian cities and tourism.
“India could also contribute to the evolution of Mauritius as a regional centre for technological innovation. India has not really responded so far to the demands from Mauritius for higher education facilities from India like the IIT.”
Besides IT and strategic involvements, he thinks climate change and sustainable development or the blue economy are challenges for Mauritius.
Henceforth, Mauritius could be the right partner in promoting Indian initiatives in these areas.
In short, he is saying India should not take Mauritius for granted and urged the creation of an office for a defence adviser in Mauritius to serve the Islands demands and that of East African states.

In a typical gas-powered car, the engine generates a lot of heat, which is then used to warm the cabin. An EV doesn’t have an engine, and so must rely on other devices to produce that hot air—“and those are a direct drain on the battery,” he says.
How are electric cars heated in winter?
Modern day electric cars have powerful electric cabin heaters that can heat the interior quickly, even in the coldest conditions. However, that comes at a cost: after the power used by the motor, the cabin heater is the biggest drain on the batteries.
How do electric cars generate heat?
But while an internal combustion engine generates its own heat, which warms the engine and the car occupants, an EV has to find that warmth somewhere else, either scavenging the small amount of heat that motors and inverters make or running a heater.
Do electric cars need to warm up?
Electric powertrains get no benefit from being any warmer than that; in fact, warming up too much can reduce performance and accelerate battery pack degradation. Hence, the active thermal management found in most systems. … No oil in an electric vehicle so you can just get in and go.
Can you drive an electric car in the snow?
Electric vehicles are also fun to drive in the winter. … If one side is on a more slippery surface, electronic traction control will move more power to the wheel that has more traction and electronic stability control keeps the car nicely in control in low traction driving conditions.
Do electric cars work in extreme cold?
DETROIT (AP) — Cold temperatures can sap electric car batteries, temporarily reducing their range by more than 40 percent when interior heaters are used, a new study found. The study of five electric vehicles by AAA also found that high temperatures can cut into battery range, but not nearly as much as the cold.
Are Tesla’s good in the snow?
Even if your Tesla is all-wheel drive, winter tires will add a layer of security for snowy and mountainous driving. The vehicle we tested was the Model X P100D “Performance” version equipped with winter tires. Its grip and traction were excellent even on off-road trails covered with several inches of snow.
Do electric cars lose range over time?
Battery Thermal Management Systems
Just like most people, electric cars thrive in moderate temperatures around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If the weather is too cold, the battery’s range and performance declines; however, the longevity of the battery is typically not affected.
How do Tesla’s heat the cabin?
Tesla has regular air heater to heat the cabin. As it has large battery heating takes only few percents of the whole battery. It uses AC compressor to cool the cabin and even battery while supercharging. … You get about 3kWh of heat or cold with 1kWh of battery power using compressor.
Are electric cars reliable?
Last month, a Consumer Reports study showed that electric vehicles (EVs) generally cost less to repair and maintain than their gasoline-powered counterparts. However, CR’s latest reliability survey reveals that some new electric cars have significant problems that will be covered under warranty.
How good are electric cars in snow?
The flip side is that they are less capable in the winter as they’re not as ‘sticky’ as those made with softer compounds. Cold weather affects cars’ battery performance and this will cut into its electric range. The American Automobile Association suggests an EV’s range may be reduced by up to 40% in very cold weather.
How do you warm up a Tesla battery before driving?
If the battery is cold, heating will happen as you drive, but requires some extra power. Notably, regenerative braking will be limited or off when the battery is even moderately cold. Use the app to turn on the cabin heat for 30–60 minutes before you leave so that the car and battery are warm.
Does a Tesla need to warm up?
Warming your battery before each trip can conserve energy. The ‘Scheduled Departure’ feature on your touchscreen allows you to select a time for when you want your car warmed and ready to drive. You can also preheat your car by activating preconditioning or defrost in the Tesla app.
Why do electric cars have less range in winter?
The cars use energy to heat the battery coolant in cold weather, as well as for heating the cabin, Hughes said. Range would take a hit mainly for short trips, and the decrease wouldn’t be as large on longer trips once the battery and cabin are heated, Hughes said.
At what temperature do you need to plug in your car?
Most experts say that you should plug in your car when the temperature gets to about -15° or -20° degrees Celsius. Your car, if it’s a newer model that is fuel-injected, will start when it’s -30° C. It may just throw a bit of a hissy fit, which makes plugging in your car in colder weather a good idea.
Do electric cars have heaters and air conditioning?
Like IC engine-powered cars, electric cars have ACs too, but instead of using an engine to power the compressor, they use electricity. … The incoming air is heated as it passes through a heater matrix (a small radiator) which holds the hot engine coolant.

I once saw a photograph of my friend lounging in a chair with a MacBook on her lap, an iPad in one hand, texting on her iPhone with the other, all while listening to music on her iPod. Aside from being a picture-perfect promotion for Apple, this photo is indicative of what has quickly become the norm in youth culture—constant interaction with technology.
I’d be willing to bet that most parents are familiar with this scenario and at one time or another have asked themselves, “Is all this technology good for my child?”
The answer is, Yes, it can be if there is balance.
Having grown up in a world driven by technology, today’s youth are digital natives. As technology has become so universal and is used largely as a tool for socializing, it is no wonder that teens connect emotionally with their devices. Through technology use, many teens express creativity, interact with friends, and educate themselves on new topics. These are all good things, right? Again, the key to success in the digital environment is balance.
Balancing Screen Time is the first pillar in the BEaPRO™ index (Balance, Ethics, Privacy, Reputation, Relationships, and Online Privacy). This index was developed to help youth become responsible digital citizens and ensure that their digital interactions are positive.
As a parent, what should you do to help your child balance real life with screen time? First, recognize that a healthy interaction with technology is beneficial for your child. So, don’t just go throwing out the baby with the bath water. Simply confiscating your child’s technology because it’s ‘too much’ would be akin to you throwing my microwave out the window, and then justifying it by arguing that my great-grandpa cooked over a fire. Even if such frequent interaction with technology personally feels a bit foreign, it can be positive for your child. The truth is technology is here for the long haul—that’s why it’s so important to balance time on and off the screen.
Spending too much time with technology can affect sleeping habits, lead to gaming and social media addictions, and interfere with personal interactions. Spending all day in front of a screen can also affect emotional development and spur feelings of depression, anxiety, irritability and social phobias.
So how much is too much? The National Institutes of Health recommend that children under age 2 should have no screen time. For children over 2, screen time should be limited to 1-2 hours a day.
Remember, balance. When deciding with your child how to best spend their time on and off the screen, be sure to consider that not all screen time is equal. An app that teaches your toddler how to spell is not equivalent to a graphic video game. Optimize positive screen time by helping your child choose productive activities.
In taking steps toward balancing time on the screen vs. time off the screen, you may consider these options:

DID CHRISTOPHER TAYLOR HARPIN CAUSE YOU INVESTMENT LOSSES?
Christopher Harpin Of Lincoln Financial Securities And Formerly With Samuel A Ramirez & Co. Has 2 Customer Complaints For Alleged Broker Misconduct
Who is Christopher Harpin of Lincoln Financial Securities?
Christopher Harpin (CRD #2329016) who is currently registered with Lincoln Financial Securities and located in Essex, Connecticut is a subject of one of our many securities industry sales practice abuse investigations. Prior to Lincoln Financial Securities, Christopher Harpin was associated with Samuel A Ramirez & Co. and other investment advisory and brokerage firms with a history of customer complaints and securities industry regulatory problems.
Christopher Harpin Customer Complaints
Christopher Harpin has been the subject of 2 customer complaints that we know about, one of those complaints was filed in the last year to recover investment losses. Both of Christopher Harpin’s customers’ complaints were denied and, to date, the customers have not taken any further action.
Allegations Against Christopher Harpin
A sample of the allegations made in the FINRA reported arbitration claim settlements and/or pending complaints for investment losses are as follows:
- Based on allegations of fraud, deceit, untrue statements, omission of material facts, and schemes to defraud, the client of four brokerage accounts established in January 2017 and June 2020 demanded a rescission of all securities purchased plus statutory interest of 10% per annum from the date(s) of purchase allegedly committed by Christopher Harpin.
- Client purchased stocks in a non-discretionary account on an unsolicited basis and claimed that Christopher Harpin allegedly did not get him out of these stocks in time to avoid losses due to market correction.
Christopher Harpin Red Flags & Your Rights As An Investor
Of course, Christopher Harpin did not admit to any of the allegations. But regardless of whether an arbitration award was entered, a settlement occurred, or the customer complaint is still pending, the allegations made by customers are red flags which should put all current and former customers of Christopher Harpin at Lincoln Financial Securities and Samuel A Ramirez & Co. on alert to review carefully the activity and performance of their accounts and question whether Christopher Harpin has engaged in any stockbroker misconduct that may have caused them investment losses. The large number of customer complaints at Lincoln Financial Securities and Samuel A Ramirez & Co. also raises questions about the brokerage firms’ supervisory practices. If these red flags raise questions, call us and we will inform you of your rights as an investor.

Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX
This is the primary lens I use when shooting Portrait Photography. At the moment I favor the Nikon D3200 and 5200 because of the fact that their sensors make them comparable to the Canon 5D Mark III when it comes to portrait photography, this lens performance very well with those DX format cameras.
The Nikon D3200 is part of Nikon’s newer line of entry level DSLR cameras and is not just an incremental upgrade to the D3100, the D3200 has a completely new sensor and processor making a power house. In fact the Nikon D3200 is on par with the Canon 5D Mark III in terms of its image sensor according to DXoMark.

Crucial Differences: Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises | Captain John Whale Watching & Fishing Tours – Whale Watching In Plymouth
Many individuals who are fascinated with marine life have difficulty distinguishing between whales, dolphins, and porpoises. All are members of the taxonomic order Cetacea. The terms are inconsistently applied, but generally “dolphin” refers to cetaceans of the familes Delphinidae (ocean dolphins) and Platanistoidea (river dolphins), and “porpoise” refers to members of the family Phocoenidae. “Whale” is a catch-all term for all other cetaceans, including remaining members of the order Odontoceti (toothed whales), of which the dolphin and porpoise families are a part, and all Mysticeti, or baleen whales.
There are a number of significant differences between these three species that can help whale watchers distinguish between them.
Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises
The most noticeable difference between these three classifications is their size. If you see a cetacean that is greater than a dozen feet long, it is most likely a whale. Porpoises are smaller than most dolphin species.
This may be more difficult for people on whale-watching or fishing excursions to notice from a distance, but the presence of teeth or baleen is the major taxonomical difference between cetaceans. Larger whales typically do not have teeth, but instead use fringed plates made of baleen that extend from their upper jaws to filter their food from the water they take in when their mouths are open. Smaller whales and dolphins have cone-shaped teeth, whereas porpoises feed using spade-shaped teeth that are designed to catch smaller fish.
Dolphins and Porpoises
- Dorsal Fins
Dolphins have larger dorsal fins than porpoises do, and porpoises’ dorsal fins tend to be triangular, while dolphins’ dorsal fins are curved.
The rostrum, or snout, is more beak-like in dolphins, while porpoises tend to have a more nose-like rostrum.
- Social Movements
It is common for participants on a whale watching cruise to see porpoises swimming or feeding in solitude or in small groups. Dolphins, on the other hand, almost always move in large and complex pods.
The next time you are in Plymouth, Boston, or Cape Cod, explore the great Atlantic on one of Captain John’s whale watching tours or deep sea fishing excursions. We guarantee sightings on every whale watching tour! Call (508) 746-2646 to find out more!

Stem Cell Therapy and Sarcoidosis
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells. They are capable of differentiating to form any cell in the body. Apart from this, they also have some unique abilities. For example, they can repair injured tissues, self-regenerate, and multiply. In addition to this, they also regulate inflammatory reactions in the body.

Paradox Interactive has stopped developing several unreleased games in order to put more resources into safer bets for the benefit of the company.
Publisher announced cancellation at Thursday press release.. Paradox says he’s still working on 15 new games, including Victoria 3, Vampire: The Masquerade-Bloodlines 2, Crusader Kings 3 on the console, and Shadowrun Trilogy on the console. Paradox is also working on many new DLCs.
Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox, said the company will focus on its reputation for strategic games and will make the game last longer after launch.
Best latest PC games (summer 2020 update)
Have you played Crusader Kings III?
Paradox released two games in 2020: Empire of Sin and Crusader Kings III. Crusader Kings III received critic praise 11th best review game of 2020 on Metacritic.. Paradox specifically states in a press release that Royal Court DLC is still under development for Crusader Kings III.
The publisher also released the strategy game Surviving the Aftermath in October 2020, which remains in Early Access at the time of writing.
This change in paradox direction may have been a creative difference that led to Eva Lungeldo resigning as CEO of Paradox in September due to the company’s new direction.
According to 10 out of 10 reviews of IGN’s Cruiser Kings III, the game “takes the throne as the new king of historic strategy.” Crusader Kings III was announced for the Xbox Series X / S and PS5, but has no release date at this time. Until then, read more about the upcoming Royal Court DLC.

Sometimes it’s hard to be a young man…
A track sung by some guy (no idea who) with his guitar. More than the lyrics, its the balls to come up with something as creative as what he did.
I guess its the male adaptation of the female version song ‘Stand By Your Hand’.
Have a listen..for the guys (the young men)


A cat has appeared to fall out of the sky, knocking an old man out while his dog watched in shock.
It’s a tale as old as time, really. When they’re not with the fiddle, cats are constantly falling out of the sky and onto OAPs. We shouldn’t laugh really – the man was hospitalised – but thankfully he’s okay now (more or less).
In surveillance footage, Gao Fenghua can be seen having a leisurely stroll in the city of Harbin in the north-eastern Chinese province of Heilongjiang, when a cat falls out of the sky (presumably from a building) and lands straight onto his head, knocking him clean out.
That’s when Fenghua’s dog – who is wearing shoes – begins to panic and tries to check on his owner, clearly distressed that he’s incapacitated. Following that, the dog then corners the cat up against a building so it can’t scamper off.
What’s perhaps most shocking is that almost no-one goes to help the man. Someone in green has a full view of what happened and all they could do is slowly back off while looking shocked and confused.
Not helpful at all.
Fenghua spent the following 23 days in hospital before being discharged last week. He’s not completely mended though, as he still has to undergo physiotherapy treatment, according to Harbin TV.
The cat allegedly belongs to Fenghua’s neighbour, identified as Mr. Yu, according to the old man’s son Gao Zhengzhong. The two families are now working together to reach an agreement on compensation for the incident, although it’s unclear whether the authorities are involved in the discussions.
Let’s hope that Mr Gao Fenghua recovers as speedily as possible, and that no further cats fall from the sky.
Not a lot to ask, is it?

This is an RIT Only Event


Tinking is the best option when you need to undo a few stitches or even a row. It is slow because you undo each stitch one at a time, which certainly takes more time that knitting a stitch. What’s more, you have to deal with the accumulation of working yarn that comes from undoing your stitches.
Can you undo knitting and start again?
Rip out your mistake, turn your work, and start knitting again! Using a needle several sizes smaller to pick up the last row of your ripped-out knitting makes it easier to snag the stitches.
Can you undo knitting from the bottom?
If the project is worked from the bottom up, that means you will need to turn it upside down. This is the fun part. Take your scissors and snip the yarn in the marked row one stitch away from the right side of the work. Carefully undo the yarn from the first stitches at the right side of the work.
Is it possible to undo knitting from the cast on edge?
Yes’m, you can undo the cast-on edge or just pick up stitches. If you undo the cast-on, be aware that your new stitches will be moved half a stitch over.
How do you flatten curls in knitting?
To do this, lay it on a padded ironing board, pull at the edges so the whole piece lies flat and pin it in place. Spray a linen towel or dishcloth with water until it is quite damp, and lay the towel on top of the scarf.
Why is it called frogging in knitting?
Frogging gets its name from “Rip it, rip it,” which sounds like a frog’s croak. Sometimes it’s a little tricky to get all the stitches back on the needle, especially with lace. … That way, if you make a mistake and have to rip back, you only have to rip back to the lifeline and all your stitches are caught for you.

John’s Note: A couple of weeks ago I hunted ducks and feral pigs in Texas. Zane Fudge, a 19-year-old, from Longview, Texas, has been guiding duck hunters for Kent Outdoors (www.kentoutdoors.com) for 3 years. He also guides for turkeys, hogs, deer and doves. He’s furthering his education by studying corrosion technology at Kilgore College.
I plan to continue to be a guide for a while, and some day work in the oil and gas industry. But if at all possible, I want to also be a hunting guide. To get a corrosion technology degree, I have to spend 2 years in college, and I’ve almost finished my first year. I hope to find a job around where I guide. Then I can guide and work in the oil and gas industry, however, I’ll go wherever I can to find work.
I hunt almost every day of duck season. If I don’t have clients to guide, I’ll hunt around my house with a buddy. One of my biggest challenges is going to school and guiding duck hunters. My first class is usually at 10:00 or 10:30 am. Usually, we can be through duck hunting by that time, and I go straight to class from the hunt. Although I try to wipe my face paint off, I wear my camouflage to class. I’m generally the only person in class wearing camo hunting clothes.
I have two types of school friends. Some of them know that I duck hunt before I come to class. My other school friends just think I’m crazy. My girlfriend likes to hunt. So, I guess the camouflage does help me get girls. When I’ve been asked, “How do you find time to date?” my answer always is, “By having a very-understanding girlfriend.”
If we have clients who want to hunt hogs, we hunt hogs after lunch when the duck hunting at Kent Outdoors is over. We have some clients who come in and just strictly want to hunt hogs. I also enjoy spring hunting out here. We hunt turkeys early in the mornings, and if we have to, we’ll hunt them in the afternoons. If we get on a good gobbling bird, and he refuses to come in, sometimes I just have to be late for class. I enjoy every part of hunting, and I do the best I can to work my schooling in and around my hunting.
At Kent Outdoors, we hunt all year long. We usually start off with dove hunting in the early fall and then move into deer and hog hunting. At the same time that’s happening, we’re offering duck hunting too. Later into the winter, we still have plenty of hog hunters, and we transition into spring turkey hunting. But we still have hog hunters on the property just about all year long.

01/19/2007: Well, I finally had some time on my hands, so I decided to add the light sensor to the LEGO Mindstorms robot arm. This allows the processor to distinguish between different colors.
Adding the sensor was quite simple. Total time elapsed: less than 60 seconds. That sensor mounts on the servomotor right behind the clamps, as shown in the following pic:
The programming for the light sensor was mostly trial-and-error, as I attempted to determine the threshhold for which the sensor would distinguish the red ball while ignoring the blue ball.
To handle this, I used a switch object, and had a set of instructions to process for the red ball with other instructions in the event that the red ball was not detected.
The program is shown below.
