Introduction to Crypto Currency Withdrawals in Hawaii
Cryptocurrency withdrawals in Hawaii are becoming increasingly popular. As more businesses and individuals are looking to take advantage of cryptocurrency’s convenience and security, they are exploring ways to withdraw funds from crypto wallets in Aloha State.
Cryptocurrency withdrawals in Hawaii are similar to traditional banking methods. You need to connect your crypto wallet to a cryptocurrency exchange and transfer the funds from the sale to your wallet. The process is relatively straightforward, although it does require some knowledge of the technology.
The first step is to find a reputable cryptocurrency exchange in Hawaii. Fortunately, there are several reputable exchanges available in the state. Once you have found a business, you must open an account and provide some personal information. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of the exchange before completing the registration process.
Once you have opened an account with the exchange, you will need to connect your crypto wallet to your account. This is usually done through a process called “API integration.” This process allows the exchange to secure your wallet to your account securely.
After connecting your wallet to the exchange, you can transfer funds from the sale to your wallet. This process is called a “withdrawal.” To initiate a withdrawal, you will need to enter the amount you want to withdraw, the address of your wallet, and any other information required by the exchange.
Once the withdrawal is complete, the funds will be transferred from your wallet to your exchange account. You can use the funds to purchase goods and services or withdraw them as cash.
Cryptocurrency withdrawals in Hawaii are becoming increasingly popular. With the proper exchange and a little knowledge, you can quickly transfer funds from your wallet to your exchange account and withdraw in Aloha State. Starting crypto funds in Hawaii is a safe and convenient way to access your digital assets.
Understanding the Basics of Crypto Currency Withdrawal
A cryptocurrency is a form of digital currency that is used to buy goods and services. Unlike traditional forms of money, cryptocurrency is decentralized, meaning any government or financial institution does not control it. As a result, cryptocurrency transactions are secure and anonymous, allowing users to make secure payments without worrying about their personal information being compromised.
When it comes to withdrawing cryptocurrency, the process is quite simple. First, select the cryptocurrency you want to remove, typically through an exchange or wallet. Then, you will need to enter the withdrawal address, which is usually a long string of numbers and letters. After entering the lesson, you must enter the amount you wish to withdraw. Once you have entered the amount, you must confirm the withdrawal, which will be processed.
Cryptocurrency withdrawals can be done instantly or take several hours, depending on the network. Once the withdrawal is complete, you will receive the funds in your wallet or exchange. Depending on the sale or wallet you use, you can withdraw the funds directly to your bank account or convert them into other forms of currency.
It is important to note that when withdrawing cryptocurrency, you should always double-check the address and amount before confirming the withdrawal. If the address or the amount is incorrect, the funds could be lost or taken by someone else. It is also essential to be aware of any fees associated with the withdrawal, as these can vary depending on the exchange or wallet.
Overall, cryptocurrency withdrawals are a simple and secure process. As long as you double-check the address and amount before confirming the withdrawal, you should have no problem getting your funds. With the correct information, you can take advantage of cryptocurrency’s secure and anonymous nature and use it to your advantage.
Tips for Withdrawing Crypto Currency in Hawaii on a Budget
If you are looking to withdraw cryptocurrency in Hawaii on a budget, there are several tips you can use to make the process easier and more cost-effective. First and foremost, research the various crypto exchanges available in Hawaii. Different businesses have different fees, so compare the costs and find the most affordable for your needs. Also, read up on the additional withdrawal and deposit methods available on each exchange. Some exchanges offer more options than others, so choose one that best fits your needs.
Next, make sure to consider the timing of your withdrawal. As with any currency, cryptocurrency values are constantly changing. Before withdrawing, check the market and ensure you get the best rate for your transaction. Also, some exchanges may charge additional fees for withdrawals and deposits, so consider these before executing any transactions.
Finally, consider using a crypto wallet. A crypto wallet is a secure, digital storage location for your cryptocurrency. Wallets allow you to store, send, and receive cryptocurrency with greater security and convenience than traditional exchanges. Many wallets are free to use and offer a variety of features, such as the ability to track your transactions, set up recurring payments, and even integrate with various exchanges.
Following these tips, you can easily withdraw cryptocurrency in Hawaii on a budget. With a bit of research and planning, you can maximize the value of your cryptocurrency while keeping your costs low.

Considering the Risks Associated with Crypto Currency Withdrawals
Cryptocurrency withdrawals can be risky, especially for those new to digital currencies. Withdrawing funds from a cryptocurrency exchange or wallet is not only complex, but it also carries the potential for significant losses if it needs to be done correctly. For example, if the user needs to learn the proper procedure for withdrawing funds, the funds could be sent to the wrong address or lost altogether. Additionally, the user could be exposed to the risk of theft or fraud if the exchange or wallet is not secure.
Users should take a few precautionary steps before initiating a transaction to minimize the risk of cryptocurrency withdrawals. First, verifying that the exchange or wallet is reputable and secure is essential. Additionally, users should ensure they have a secure backup of their wallet in case of a system failure or accident. It is also important to double-check the recipient’s address before sending funds, as sending funds to an incorrect address can result in a permanent loss.
Finally, users should know that cryptocurrency withdrawals are subject to varying fees depending on the platform and the currency used. For example, some exchanges may charge a flat fee for withdrawals, while others may charge a percentage of the amount being withdrawn. Therefore, it is essential to research the costs associated with a particular exchange or wallet before initiating a withdrawal.
By taking these precautions, users can reduce risk and ensure that their cryptocurrency withdrawals are secure, successful, and cost-effective.

When, at the end of the lecture, it was asked who would sign the pledge, the whole assembly started to respond to the call, and each one that night became pledged to total abstinence.
The next day a great excitement existed relative to the groggeries in town; a meeting was called, and a committee appointed to act in a manner they thought best calculated to promote the interests of the people at large.
This committee determined to present the facts to the keepers of the places in question, and request them to renounce the traffic.
The facts were presented. They saw that their customers had all left them, and why should they continue? It would be a losing business.
The effect of the moral suasion had been powerful; it labored with the very soul of the traffic, with those who put the pence in the dealers’ coffers. It was more powerful than all laws that could have been enacted. Forbidding them to sell while customers crowded their doors would have had no effect, unless to create riot; inducing their customers to leave them soon induced them to leave the business, for where there are none to buy there will be none to sell.
In view of all this, the rumsellers of Tapville gave up; and, strange to say, joined with the people that night in their rejoicing, and made a bonfire of their stock in trade.
By the light of that fire my friend and I left the town; and when far away we could see its glare, and hear the shouts of a disenthralled people.
After a few months’ travel in the south and west, I revisited Tapville, or rather the place where it once stood; but no Tapville was there. The town had regained its former sobriety and quiet, and became “Springvale.”
I called at the widow’s cottage; Tommy ran out to meet me, and I received a welcome I shall never forget. But Jenny was no more; with her last breath she had blessed the temperance cause, and then her pure spirit winged its way to that home where sorrows never come, and where the troubles of earth are forgotten amid the joys of heaven.
THE BATTLE OF THE RED MEN.
’T was cold, bleak winter,
on a rock-bound coast,
When bands of exiles trod its frozen shore.
Who then stood forth to greet the coming host
And shelter freely give when storms did pour?
Old Samoset-peace to his memory still!-
them welcome, welcome, with good will.
Then was the red man’s nation broad and strong-
O’er field and forest he held firm control;
Then power was his to stay the coming throng,
And back the wave of usurpation roll.
He might have crushed them on old Plymouth’s rock,
to this day have felt the shock.
Not so he willed it; he would have them sit
In peace and amity around his door;
The pipe of peace in friendship would have lit,
And, as its white cloud up towards heaven did soar,

Contract awarded for $3B water treatment facilities in three communities
DPI, Guyana, Wednesday, July 05, 2017
Over 50,000 residents are expected to benefit from a $3.977B project, which will see the construction of three new water treatment plants at Uitvlugt, West Coast Demerara, Diamond, East Bank, Demerara and Sheet Anchor, East Canje, Berbice.
During his weekly post-Cabinet press briefing last Friday, Minister of State, Joseph Harmon announced that Cabinet has given the green light to the project contract which will be executed by the Chinese company, Sinohydro Limited.
The project, which is funded by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), will provide for the procurement of plant design, supply and instillation of water treatment facilities and the upgrade of matriculation at these three areas, Minister Harmon said.
The facilities will be constructed under the water supply and sanitation infrastructure improvement programme of the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI.) It also includes a component for non-revenue water reduction in the areas where the treatment plants will be constructed.
Residents in the areas slated to benefit from the water plants will be issued with water meters in an effort to reduce water wastage.

A low-molecular-mass protein from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) is responsible for the regulation of formaldehyde dehydrogenase activity in vitro
UNSPECIFIED. (1999) A low-molecular-mass protein from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) is responsible for the regulation of formaldehyde dehydrogenase activity in vitro. MICROBIOLOGY-UK, 145 (Part 1). pp. 159-167. ISSN 1350-0872Full text not available from this repository.
An 8.6 kDa protein, which the authors call a modifin, has been purified from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) and has been shown to alter the substrate specificity and kinetics of NAD(+)-linked formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FDH) isolated from the same organism. Purification methods for both the modifin and FDH are presented which reliably produced pure protein for further analysis. Analysis of the molecular mass and N-terminal sequence of both FDH and the modifin indicate that they are unique proteins and show no similarity to alcohol or aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes isolated from methylotrophic bacteria. Substrate specificity studies demonstrated that FDH oxidized formaldehyde exclusively in the presence of the modifin; a diverse range of aldehydes and alcohols were oxidized by FDH in the absence of the modifin. No formaldehyde oxidation was detected in the absence of the modifin. Attempts to replace the modifin with glutathione or high concentrations of methanol to stimulate formaldehyde oxidation failed. With acetaldehyde as substrate, FDH showed standard Michaelis-Menten kinetics; interaction of FDH with the modifin using formaldehyde as substrate altered the kinetics of the reaction to sigmoidal. Kinetic analysis during turnover experiments indicated that the FDH may be associated with bound formaldehyde following enzyme isolation and that NAD may also be associated with the enzyme but in a form that is less tightly bound than found with the methanol dehydrogenase from Bacillus methanolicus. Data are presented which indicate that the modifin may play an important role in regulating formaldehyde concentration in vivo.

The long-time contribution of the Zionist Federation’s former president, Eric Moonman, was honoured in a warm tribute at Sunday’s annual dinner.
Chair of the ZF Paul Charney and the current president, Estelle Gilston paid tribute to Mr Moonman, a former Labour and SDP MP who died in December last year.
Succeeding him, Ms Gilston said, meant “filling some very large shoes”, and she and Mr Charney spoke at length about Mr Moonman, whom they described as a mentor in the ZF.
The two also praised Gillian, Mr Moonman’s widow, and said the couple had been a partnership in every sense, not least in supporting the Zionist cause. They presented Mrs Moonman with a picture of the couple together with Israel’s late president, Shimon Peres. Mr Charney announced that a plaque would be affixed in a museum on Jerusalem’s Mount Herzl in Eric Moonman’s name, on behalf of the Zionist Federation.

Heart disease remains the number one cause of death worldwide due to the limited regenerative capacity of the heart. After a cardiac event such as a heart attack, damaged tissue can lead to heart failure and sudden cardiac death. A potential solution to combating heart failure is to replace diseased and damaged tissue with engineered heart tissues (EHTs). We have previously shown that EHTs can be produced by encapsulating hiPSCs into microspheroidal hydrogels using a microfluidic device and later differentiated. However, CM differentiation is uncontrolled and yields various left and right ventricular CMs. This work will investigate using a newly acquired left ventricular reporter hiPSC line to produce scaffold-supported microspheroid cardiac tissues to later understand the CM cell types achieved in our previously established system. To assess CM features, contraction functionality and differentiation cardiomyocyte yield will be assessed. Microsphere tissues were produced using an encapsulation platform; briefly, hiPSCs were dissociated and mixed with poly (ethylene glycol)-fibrinogen (PF) and microspheres were formed using a microfluidic device. Microspheres produced were cultured for 3 days and differentiation was initiated. Phase contrast images were taken throughout differentiation and the size and shape of tissues were analyzed. Contractions were recorded on differentiation day (DD) 10 and analyzed. Cardiomyocyte yield was assessed using flow cytometry with cardiac marker cardiac troponin-T (cTnT) on DD 10. Tissues were successfully encapsulated using a new reporter cell line into PF hydrogels. After differentiation was initiated, tissues grew in size and began contracting by DD 8. HiPC’S were successfully differentiated and a CM yield of 50% was achieved. In conclusion, cardiac tissues using scaffold-supported microsphere platform were successfully produced using a newly acquired reporter hiPCS line. Future work will determine what CM heart fields are generated using this microsphere production method and cell line.

FOSTERING IN NEW ENGLAND!
From her Foster Mom
Cola is looking for love and pampering! She loves to cuddle and is a 75 lb pound lap dog! If you stop she leans and paws you until you give her continuous pets and she can look deeply into your eyes. LOVES kids. Loves to meet new people. Enjoys her walks and the smells along the way. Has huge prey drive so no kitties for this Mom. Really needs an at least 6 foot fence, very secure yard… I mean those bunnies and chipmunks, squirrels and even an occasional bird just call her name!! She’s smart too! Can open a door easy peasy. Very food motivated. She so deserves her forever where she can get all the love she deserves and the outdoor fun she craves.
A stunningly gorgeous momma dog who has done her duty and is ready to move on with her life….
This lady recently gave birth here in New England to eight gorgeous big babies who have just about all found their forever homes so we are turning our attention to Cola - she deserves the best home ever!
True to her breed, this girls seems to like the outdoors so we are asking for any applying for her to have at least a fenced yard that is large in size and at least a 6’ fence - we believe she’s an Anatolian Shep-Great Pyr Mix but we of course can’t be 100% sure - regardless we still feel confident given her size a good sized yard or farm type situation/horse barn is what she needs/
The breed mix is known to be protective of their family and can be barkers - apartment living is not for them and we unfortunately cannot consider anyone living in a city environment or an apartment situation.
Cola is somewhat of an escape artist and while her foster mother originally blamed her milkman for leaving doors open, she soon learned this lady could open a door and let herself out and she does love to be outside. When she went into labor, she went outside to deliver although she had a wondferful whelping box set up inside; nope, right outside and under the deck!
Cola is a gorgeous creature and we are so excited to find her a new home - we know whoever adopts her will be thrilled to have her in their home.
Name: Cola - Local Foster
Breed: Anatolian Shepherd/Crossbreed
Age: 1 - 1 ½ years (estimated)
Weight: 70 lbs
Spayed/Neutered: No but will be as soon as she is ready after giving birth
Vaccinations: Up to date
Heartworm: Negative on recent testing
BASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:
Good with Children: Yes she is very gentle with people.
Good with Dogs: Not formally tested as she was pregnant upon arrival. There is another dog in her foster home - they did not have too much interaction but it was not negative.
Good with Cats: No
Adoption Fee: $500.00
Location of dog currently: New England
IMPORTANT INFORMATION -
Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.
Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.
Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to pound Donald Trump as bad for women, but the GOP’s presumptive nominee isn’t taking it lying down. At a recent rally in Spokane, Washington, the New York billionaire fired back at the Democratic frontrunner. Trump cited Hillary’s husband, former president Bill Clinton, and his history of alleged philandering.
“She’s married to a man who was the worst abuser of women in the history of politics. She’s married to a man who hurt many women,” Trump told supporters in Spokane, Washington. “She’s married to a man who got impeached for lying. Nobody, perhaps in the history of politics, was worst to women or abused women more than Bill Clinton. And she’s taking negative ads on me.”
At another rally, Trump took aim at the candidate herself, calling her an “enabler” for trying to silence Bill’s accusers.
“She’s been the total enabler. She would go after these women and destroy their lives,” Trump said at the rally. “She was an unbelievably nasty, mean enabler, and what she did to a lot of those women is disgraceful.”
Trump Slams Hillary Clinton As ‘Enabler’ Of ‘Worst Abuser Of Women In The History Of Politics’:


Have you ever seen a rusty bridge in your neighborhood or while traveling? In addition to pedestrian bridges and highway bridges, corten-equivalent corten steel is commonly used as an alternative. While conventional steel bridges take advantage of the latest advances in automated fabrication and construction techniques to provide economical solutions, corten steel bridges offer additional benefits.
Corten steel provides practical advantages over other metals for structures exposed to the elements, such as bridges.
A bridge constructed from unpainted corten steel can have a design life of 120 years with only minimal maintenance because the corrosion rate is so low. A well-detailed corten steel bridge can provide an attractive, very low maintenance, economical solution in many environments.
Corten steel is slightly more expensive than ordinary structural steel, but eliminating the paint system offsets the price difference. As a result, the initial cost of a corten steel bridge is very similar to that of a conventional painted steel bridge. An analysis of eight bridges in the UK illustrated this.
Speaking of Corten Steel, specialized Corten Steel is used for proper functioning. Cortensteeltube.com Is one leading Manufacturer, Supplier & Stockist Of Corten Steel ASTM A588 Grade A Plate And Sheet.
Corten steel bridges, however, have the added benefit of a lower overall life cycle cost. The minimal need for future maintenance of corten steel bridges reduces both the direct cost of maintenance operations and the indirect cost of traffic delays during maintenance.
This publication highlights the benefits of corten steel bridges, describes the limitations, and comments on both the material availability and the appearance of such bridges. It also provides advice on a range of issues including design and detailing, fabrication, and installation, and Corrosion rates that are higher than those anticipated at the design stage and require inspection, maintenance, and remedial measures.
Steels of this type are high strength low alloy steels that under normal atmospheric conditions exhibit enhanced resistance to rusting over ordinary carbon manganese steels. Wearing steels are generally specified to BS EN 10025-5: 2004, and have similar mechanical properties to conventional grade S355 steels to BS EN 10025-2: 2004. The most commonly used grade for bridgeworks in the UK is S355J2W+
In corten steel, rusting occurs in the same way, but the specific alloying elements in the steel produce a stable rust layer that adheres to the base metal and is less porous. Under alternate wetting and drying conditions, rust develops a protective barrier that prevents oxygen and moisture from reaching the surface.
In order for corten steel bridges to be safe and durable, a sufficient layer of corrosion protection must be created. The microclimate around the bridge, the time of wetness, the structural solution of the bridge, and the location and orientation of the steel surface within the bridge all influence the development of protective layers.
In this article, the focus is on the microclimatic effects of road traffic under the bridge. Experiments in situ are used to evaluate the effect of chloride deposition on corrosion products. We selected two bridges made of corten steel and crossed different types of obstacles for this experiment.
The relationships and dependencies between the measured parameters (deposition rate of chlorides, corrosion rates, thickness of corrosion products, and amount of chloride in corrosion products) are examined and discussed.

Traverse City Man Arrested For Taking Part In January 6 Capitol Attack
By Beth Milligan | June 30, 2022
A 27-year-old Traverse City man was arrested Thursday in connection to the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Luke Michael Lints is facing multiple charges including obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, impeding passage through the Capitol grounds or buildings, and act of physical violence in the Capitol grounds or buildings.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Lints was "among rioters who repeatedly engaged in violence against law enforcement officers guarding the Capitol." The complaint states that "Lints participated in the confrontation with law enforcement officers in the Lower West Terrace and tunnel areas of the Capitol. He entered the tunnel on the Lower West Terrace at approximately 3:10pm, making his way towards the front of the police line. He held a police shield and pushed back against law enforcement officers. At one point, Lints used a police shield to prevent a law enforcement officer from closing a door to protect himself from the rioters. Lints also was part of the crowd directly outside the tunnel as a Metropolitan Police Department officer was being assaulted by rioters."
Lints made his inital court appearance Thursday in the Western District of Michigan. His case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section. "Valuable assistance was provided by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Michigan," according to the Department of Justice. "The case is being investigated by the FBI’s Detroit Field Office and its Traverse City Resident Agency, and the FBI’s Washington Field Office, which identified Lints as #261 on its seeking-information photos. Valuable assistance was provided by the U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department."
In the 17 months since the January 6 attack, more than 800 individuals have been arrested in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol, including over 250 individuals charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement. The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with tips can call 1-800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324) or visit tips.fbi.gov.Comment

In the past RAW we heard strong words between opponents seth rollins Y Matt Riddle, the legend ric flair has criticized WWE for crossing the line touching personal issues like the divorce of the Original Bro.
Ric Flair expresses his annoyance with WWE for involving Matt Riddle’s personal issues
In the last Monday Night RAW before the great Clash at the Castle event, the Original Bro and Seth “Freakin” Rollins had one last word exchange before his great fight, since they couldn’t be close to each other the face to face was virtually, but the final moments Rollins crossed the line and to defend himself from Riddle’s insults with which Becky Lynch is the man of the family of the visionary, this brought up the subject of the recent divorce from Matt Riddle which made him quite angry.
A legend who was aware of this segment was The Nature Boy Ric Flair who expressed his disgust about it, In a recent edition of his To Be The Man podcast Flair lashed out at WWE for putting Matt Riddle’s personal issues about his divorce which is something that happened not long ago, this was what the veteran said in the aforementioned portal.
“You know how I feel about personal things, I mean, Eric used to say things about me and mention my personal life, I didn’t like it back then and knowing full well that Matt Riddle can beat Seth Rollins, I don’t like it. , if they went backstage, you and I know what would happen. Hell, Matt Riddle isn’t afraid of Brock, so I don’t know how I feel about these personal comments.”
Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins have been waiting for their meeting for quite some time, they couldn’t have it at SummerSlam, but finally this Saturday in Cardiff they will be able to download all the anger they have accumulated towards each other.
Thank you for sharing this time and this passion with us. In PLANET WRESTLING we bring you the best information in the world of Wrestling and Wrestling in Spanish. In addition all WWE news and the next Premium Live Event, WWE Clash at the Castle.

The Chronicles of Moosa
“Suckle (thy child) but when thou hast fears about him cast him, into the river, but fear not nor grieve: for We shall restore him to thee, and We shall make him one of Our messengers.” (Quran, 28:7)
IMAGINE – Would you ever go against your natural maternal instinct and place your new born baby in the river only to obey Allah’s command with nothing but only absolute trust and reliance on Allah?
Moosa’s life is an immortalised memory of the struggle between Allah’s greatest creations against His most wretched of creation (Pharaoh). Allah took Moosa from his mother, only to return him with his safety guaranteed. He removed Moosa from Egypt, only to return as a Messenger. He cornered Bani Israel between the sea and pharaoh’s army, only to eliminate their enemy from existence.
It is not just a story of “conferring prophethood” or “fighting against Firaoun”, it is a story that reflects the nature of humankind. From weakness to strength and from failure to victory, Hadhrat Moosa’s life is a reflection of our everyday lives.
Azaan Institute presents a one-day certificate course “The Chronicles of Moosa” – A course that will equip you to battle your inner Pharaohs and walk you through the splitting seas in your life because this is not just the story of “Moosa”, it is the story of “YOU”!
- Relive and relate the tale of Moosa in the 21st century and within ourselves.
- Build a connection with Quran and its wisdom
- Learn the traits of redemption, forgiveness and endurance
- Learn the importance of Dua, Salah and tawakkul
- Discover the history of Bani Israel before, during and after the life of Moosa

This low carb, grain free, and sugar free granola is the perfect breakfast!
Low Carb, Grain Free, Refined Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Paleo, Vegan
For the past two months, I’ve been making my kids grain free breakfasts. This has included bacon and eggs and almond flour pancakes. While they love both of those breakfasts, I wanted to mix it up a little and come up with something really simple, something healthy I could make them, even when we’re in a rush to get out the door to school.
One of my favourite snacks used to be yogurt and granola. I used to make my granola with oats, but since going grain free, I wanted to find a granola recipe that didn’t have any grains. However, in my search, I found that many of them had a lot of sugar added. It’s not that I’m against raw honey or maple syrup as a sweetener, but I would prefer to keep them to a minimum.
Feeling tired all the time? Ready to heal your body with the proper nutrition? Then grab my *NEW* 55 page ebook, The Low Carb Beginners Guide to help you start feeling better. Comes complete with a 7 day low carb meal plan to help you get started!
Then I came across this recipe for Banana Granola! I thought it was a great idea to used mashed banana to sweeten and hold together the granola. I always have brown bananas hanging around since I personally don’t eat them anymore.
My boys love this granola! I’ve been giving it to them for breakfast with full fat Greek yogurt and blueberries. So delicious! And as a mom, I love that I’m giving them a healthy breakfast before school without all the sugars!
This granola is super easy to make and your house will smell amazing while it’s baking.

MAHANOY CITY, Pa. (AP) A Pennsylvania woman has been sentenced to up to 32 years in prison after being convicted in the suffocation death of her 14-month-old granddaughter.
Pietrina Hoffman still maintains her innocence after being found guilty of third-degree murder in the death of Neveah Doyle.
Prosecutors say Hoffman had taken several medications before she fell off a couch onto the baby, suffocating her.
Neveah was found dead on the floor in Hoffman”s Mahanoy City home in January 2016. An autopsy showed the baby was smothered to death.
Hoffman”s lawyer says she had no reason to kill the child and was distraught about what happened.
The Schuylkill County District Attorney said after the hearing Wednesday that she was disappointed Hoffman did not get the maximum sentence of up to 40 years in prison.

A significant portion of the new Mercedes-Benz C-class's weight savings have been made possible by a tiny 41-litre fuel tank, it has been revealed.
As much as 16 per cent of the average 75kg saved by the new W205 generation of C-class over its predecessor is attributed to its small tank. Industry sources say this move is an example of how car manufacturers are using every possible engineering and legislative tweak to reduce the CO2 ratings of their new models.
By shrinking the standard-issue tank by 18 litres, Mercedes has managed to shave almost 12kg off the official kerb weight. Under EU regulations, a model’s official kerb weight is calculated using a fuel tank filled to 90 per cent of its capacity, as well as an additional 75kg for the driver.
During official NEDC fuel consumption tests, the petrol-engined C-class was filled with just 36.9 litres of fuel at the start, compared with the 53.1 litres carried by the previous-generation C-class. Although the small fuel tank allowed the benchmark C-class to be lightened by less than one per cent, it was clearly considered a worthwhile move by Mercedes.

Channing Tatum and Amber Heard aren’t moving in together, despite a ridiculous tabloid report. For starters, the two aren’t even dating.
A headline in the latest issue of OK! reads, “Channing & Amber: It’s On!” It’s not. The magazine, however, claims the two grew close while filming 2015’s Magic Mike XXL, at which time he was still with estranged wife Jenna Dewan and she was still with ex-husband Johnny Depp. The outlet claims the former co-stars finally became romantic in April, immediately following the actor’s separation from his wife of nine years.
An alleged insider tells the outlet that Heard “always had a thing for Channing,” but didn’t pursue him on the set of their movie because he was married. “Amber struck” after the actor’s April split, according to the magazine’s supposed source. However, this premise is flawed from the start. Heard was spotted kissing Vito Schnabel at Wimbledon in July after first being linked to the art dealer in May. It’s not clear if the two are still together, but either way, the actress clearly didn’t jump into a relationship with Tatum back in April.
Still, an alleged insider tells the magazine that Tatum and Heard are “both really happy and have even floated the idea of moving in together,” adding, “Things are going really well.” The seemingly nonexistent source goes on to say that the two have been trying to keep their romance a secret, but they’re “to the point where they don’t care anymore. They feel they deserve to be happy, and if that’s with each other, so be it.”
first debunked the false rumors about Tatum and Heard dating back in April. Later that month, we corrected yet another bogus article about Tatum and Heard developing a romance. The phony storyline seemed to have died down for a while, but now OK! is once again insisting they’re a couple. Only, the two haven’t been spotted together since the red carpet premiere of Magic Mike XXL back in 2015.
Regardless, a spokesperson qualified to speak on Heard’s behalf confirms she’s not dating the actor. The magazine’s article is based on claims from an anonymous and untraceable “source,” but the actress’s rep is going on the record to dismiss it. The tabloids are just trying to couple up Tatum and Heard because they co-starred together in a movie three years ago.

Of the hundreds of visitors surveyed at the inaugural Food & Hospitality Africa expo held at Gallagher Convention Centre in early May, 99% said they would come back in 2017, 98% would recommend the show to their peers and colleagues, and 82% rated the show as very important to them and their businesses.
“We pulled out all the stops to ensure that this was a well-organised event, bringing two complementary shows – Hostex and IFEA – under one roof, and representing over 300 exhibitors from 27 countries in the hospitality, food and drink, catering equipment, and food service sectors,” says Nick Sarnadas, Food & Hospitality Event Director with show organiser Specialised Exhibitions Montgomery.
The show featured a wide array of local and international exhibits, displays, and activities that included a free-to-attend seminar, various culinary competitions, demonstrations, as well as participation by nine reputable associations representing the leading bodies in their respective industries who partnered with the expo, and the Department of Trade and Industry. It attracted over 7 000 visitors from South Africa, Africa, and further afield, giving them the opportunity to source products from local and international suppliers.
The independent survey also found that more than 96% of the visitors like the new venue, being Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand, and 78% said the feature attractions were part of the reason they visited the show.
Exhibitor Maxine Krief from LTA International Global Services, distributors of international grocery products into Africa, says the company exhibited at IFEA in November 2014 and was delighted at the improvement of this show over the past one – and that the number of visitors at their stand was good. Combining Hostex and IFEA “was a great decision. We can reach more people by combining both shows.”
Craig Elliott from Unilever Food Solutions, says the expo looked “”really professional. There has been a lot of effort and the organisers definitely raised the bar – which is fantastic.” He adds, “I like the space, I think it is really well designed and put together. It is nicely mixed, and I think the mix works better.” He also notes that the co-location of Hostex and IFEA is a brilliant idea.
Adam Penn from LKW, leaders in chemical dispensing, dosing, and dilution systems, says the show was “absolutely amazing” with a vast improvement on the last show. LKW was very happy with the great leads they obtained. “The quality of visitors to our stand has been pretty good. They have been industry-related people, which is rare. It has been positive and the quantity has been insane – we doubled on leads day on day.”
Darryn Lazarus from Sagra Food & Wine Merchants, South Africa, says the show was busier than expected, with a good mix of people from all quarters. About the co-location of the two shows, he adds, “It has been better; if you can attract more people for the same price then that’s fantastic!” Wesley Browne from Greenway Farms had a great time as an exhibitor at the show. “There was a good quality of visitors coming through – people from the hospitality industry, restaurants and hotels, which gave us good exposure to the market.” Richard Amlima from Frigo Glass says, “I have been standing the whole day; that should tell you something, we have been very busy on the stand.”
Visitor Avin Hirallal, a caterer, notes that the new show is “excellent” and adds that it gave visitors a broader perspective of what is out there, “and as chefs, that makes our lives easier.”
Says Sarnadas, “It was an exciting three days, with a high level of activity throughout the three days. Overall, the outcome is positive and augurs well for future Food & Hospitality Africa expos.”
Food & Hospitality Africa returns to Gallagher Convention Centre from 3 to 5 May 2017.

The European Union's top court has upheld restrictive measures adopted by the 27-nation bloc against Russian oil and gas companies in connection with Moscow’s actions in Ukraine.
The Luxembourg-based Court of Justice announced on September 17 that it had upheld a judgment by a lower EU court dismissing an action against the sanctions slapped on companies that are part of state oil giant Rosneft, saying the measures "have been duly justified and are suitable for putting pressure on Russia because of its role" in the Ukraine crisis.
Beginning in July 2014, the European Council adopted restrictive measures on the Russian bank and energy sectors in Russia in response to its annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and its support for separatists fighting in eastern Ukraine.
Those measures include prohibitions on the export of certain products and technologies to the oil and gas sector and restrictions on the access of certain operators in that sector to the EU capital market.
A number of Russian companies that are part of Rosneft had brought the action before the General Court and asked for the annulment of the measures.
The General Court dismissed that action in September 2018, prompting the companies to appeal further to the Court of Justice.
The September 17 ruling noted that the court "dismisses the companies' appeal in its entirety."
The judges said the companies in question “could not reasonably have been unaware of the reasons why the targeted restrictions at issue were imposed on them” and that both the export prohibitions and the restrictions on access to the EU capital market “clearly contribute” to achieving the objective pursued by the European Council: increasing the costs of the Russian actions against Ukraine’s sovereignty and promoting a peaceful settlement of the crisis.
The decision is also in line with two key international agreements: the 1994 EU-Russian Partnership Agreement and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, they said.
The European Council welcomed the ruling, saying it “demonstrated the legitimacy, legal robustness, and strength of the EU’s sanctions in place for Russia’s destabilizing actions in Ukraine.”
"The sanctions in place are a key element of the EU's efforts to bring a solution to the crisis in Ukraine that respects its territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence,” spokesman Peter Stano said.

Chocolate instead of vanilla. Kimmel is in fallon. Shake, don’t stir. Chances are, you feel pretty strong about most choices in life. While you may prefer a deep-fried mozzarella cheese stick to a low-fat string cheese, you know exactly which one is right for you. But when you like two foods equally – one looks as healthy as the other, things get tricky. For the sake of convenience, we invite experts to record directly. Because you spend less time getting rid of what you eat, you spend more time enjoying it.
Turkey burger and veggie burger
Winner: veggie burger
Turkey burger is a lean source of protein when it is made from the ground brisket. Reality? Prefabricated pie is usually a mixture of white meat and black meat, so they have five times as much fat as meat and 20 times as much cholesterol as non-meat. “Veggie burgers have about four grams of fiber and about half the calories,” says Lori Lieberman, a dietitian in South Weymouth, mass. They can get high sodium, but choose a brand of 300 mg or less.Tequila and honey
Victor: it’s a tie.
Nutrition center of New York harrison scarsdale medical group founder Elizabeth DeRobertis, said: “the agave syrup and honey has 64 calories, about 16 grams of carbohydrate, 14 to 17 grams each spoon of sugar. However, the type of sugar: tequila the proportion of fructose and glucose is higher, so it can make the blood sugar rise more slowly, but can also induce your brain don’t think your stomach like really full. Experts can recommend one before doing more research; Meanwhile, use what you think is a better sweetener, but only in moderation. “The best way to sweeten yogurt or even baked goods is to use whole fruit or puree because it contains fiber and nutrients that are not available for concentrated sweeteners,” says DeRobertis.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes
Winner: sweet potato
Sweet potatoes have the same amount of fiber as potatoes (4 grams), but have 60 calories. In vitamin A, where they really shine: A sweet potato provides 438 percent of your daily value, while A sweet potato doesn’t. They also provided a third more vitamin C, which was a surprise! – can help you score flat abs. Erin Palinski- Wade, author of belly fat dieters, said: “when your body’s stress hormone cortisol levels are chronically elevated, excess fat is transferred to your stomach. “Vitamin C helps to lower cortisol levels.”Instant oatmeal with steel-cut oats
Winner: steel cut oats
While both types of oats are good sources of cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber, “the immediate type is steamed and steamed before packaging to make it more quickly cooked,” says nutritionist Julie Kaye. New York City. However, cut oats are cut into two or three slices of whole oats, which are cut into about the size of a grain. Because they are less processed, they need more time to digest, which means they keep their blood sugar stable and help you stay full for up to three hours – twice as much as instant oats.
More food fights
Butter and butter spread
Each toast cap has about 100 calories and 11 grams of fat per tablespoon. But most Palinski – Wade warned that cream sauce (a buzzword used margarine) were made from partially hydrogenated oils, this oil is a kind of trans fats, can improve the level of cholesterol, lower cholesterol levels. Butter does contain more saturated fat, but new research suggests it may not be as damaging to your heart as previously thought, especially in small amounts.
Brown rice to quinoa
The winner: all five cereals contain fiber, but quinoa also contains 8 grams of protein per cup, says Julie McGinnis, a nutritionist in boulder, colo. More importantly, the protein is complete – usually found in animal sources such as meat and eggs – meaning it contains your body to repair cells and make all nine essential amino acids. Quinoa takes only 20 minutes to cook, while brown rice only takes 50 minutes. Quinoa, says Julie McGinnis, a nutritionist in boulder, colo
Wheat also contains 8 grams of protein. More importantly, the protein is complete – usually found in animal sources such as meat and eggs – meaning it contains your body to repair cells and make all nine essential amino acids. Quinoa takes only 20 minutes to cook, while brown rice only takes 50 minutes.
Frozen yogurt with soft ice cream
Winner: frozen yogurt
“Most frozen yogurt contains probiotics, which are found in conventional yogurt and are beneficial to the gut, helping to keep the digestive system functioning properly,” Kaye said. (to be sure, the chain’s menu or on the web site to find active and lively words) to our surprise, two kinds of desserts are 18 grams of sugar, but soft drinks containing 11 grams of fat per half-cup and nearly 200 calories, while frozen yogurt packaging about 115 calories, and usually no fat. To prevent the self-help chain from overshaking, please press the water fountain for no more than 5 seconds.
Potato chips and cornflakes
While potato chips are often considered off-limits, Palinski-Wade likes to make them with potatoes, oil and salt. You can say the same corn flakes, but many of them include refined flour, even sugar, nutritional duds, which can cause your blood sugar to kill. Opt for baked potato chips or fat-reducing types, which are flash Fried, so oil has less time to soak. Avoid “chips” because they usually use potato chips instead of whole potatoes.
Hummus and guacamole
The main ingredients in these plunged – garbanzo beans and avocado – contains fiber, and avocado heart healthy monounsaturated fats and potassium, a good source of “it has been showed stable stress levels and lower blood pressure,” said Palinski – Wade. “In addition, studies have linked monounsaturated fat to reduced abdominal fat.” Just stick to two tablespoons of guac and baby carrots or bell pepper instead of chip pairing to keep calorie count.

Tim here. For a director who doesn’t even have a movie in this year’s Oscar crop, this has been quite a full few days for Quentin Tarantino. First, the full cast of his upcoming Western (which hasn’t even started shooting yet), The Hateful Eight, was confirmed, and then he re-committed on Monday to his longstanding if vague plans to retire after his tenth film is completed (Hateful Eight will be his eighth... oh, I just got that). Calling film a “young man’s game”, Tarantino, who at 51 is less than half the age of currently active Portuguese director Manoel de Olivera, talked about wanting to leave them wanting more, and not wanting to lose his touch, and generally coming off like his own biggest fan in a way that’s kind of horribly off-putting. But what the hell, I’m looking forward to his next film, the last gasp of 70mm and extravagant widescreen as anybody.
So anyway, let’s celebrate Quentin’s ego with the following list of the Hateful Eight themselves, and a bonus guest star, ranked by Total Hatefulness. A totally subjective quality I came up with by combining the most hateful character the actor has ever played, along with the angriest photo of them I could find in a Google image search.
1. Channing Tatum as “Character Whose Name Hasn’t Been Revealed Yet, and Isn’t One of the Core Eight”.
Most Hateful Role: “Pretty Boy Floyd”, Public Enemies (2009)
When the only even slightly bad guy you’ve ever played is barely a cameo, and when I couldn’t find a picture of you actually looking mad even when I searched “Channing Tatum very angry”, you’re clearly not in it for the hateful long term. But I guess that’s why he’s out the outside of the group. Hatefulness (of 10): 0.5


Hundreds of prisoners escaped from a jail in Afghanistan’s south yesterday through a tunnel dug by Taliban insurgents, officials said, a “disaster” for the Afghan government and a setback for foreign forces planning to start a gradual withdrawal within months.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s chief spokesman, Waheed Omer, told a news conference the incident, in which many Taliban commanders were said to have escaped, exposed serious vulnerabilities in the Afghan government.
Tooryalai Wesa, governor of volatile southern Kandahar province, told Reuters that 488 prisoners escaped due to the negligence of Afghan security forces at the province’s main jail. He said the tunnel led to a nearby house.
General Ghulam Dastgir, the governor in charge of the jail, said the prisoners had all escaped through the tunnel. “The insurgents worked on it for some seven months,” Dastgir said.
“The Taliban have planted bombs inside the tunnel and it is hard to investigate until the explosives are removed,” he said.

New Rights present electoral register
Leader of the New Rights political party of Georgia presented the party`s electoral register at a briefing today.
Davit Gamkrelidze also commented on the statement made by Bidzina Ivanishvili regarding the 6-point ultimatum he gave to the government yesterday. Mr. Gamkrelidze said the 6-point ultimatum is a big mistake.
Bidzina Ivanishvili presented the 6-pioint ultimatum to the government yesterday. The demands included: suspension of the penalties imposed on the Georgian Dream Coalition in result of the address by the State Audit Office of Georgia; including members of the Georgian Dream Coalition into the Interagency Task Force; lifting restrictions from releasing satellite antennas for free among locals and assisting to emigrants` voting process, including changing the voting day.
If the demands are not met, Bidzina Ivanishvili will declare the parliamentary elections unfair and falsified. He said processes are going to develop in different direction if the terms are not carried out.


Custom watches are valuable and have special meaning to individuals; therefore, they need to be treated with great care. While many people tend to make sure that their timepieces are kept away from heat sources and tools that could damage them, they are less concerned about the weather. However, this is not only unwise; it can also put their beloved accessories at great risk. This is because weather conditions caused by seasonal changes can significantly affect the mechanics of a watch. Therefore, in order to protect them, they need to be ensured that they are properly maintained.
Ensure that they are kept in a dry, dark and temperature-controlled space
When it comes to a watch’s worst enemy, summer and wind can be devastating to a watch’s complex mechanism. The reasons behind this are increased humidity, sunlight and dust. All three of these can cause significant damage in a short period of time.
If the air around the watch is humid, moisture can seep into the watch and penetrate through small gaps into its internal mechanism. As a result, it can rust on the watch movement and damage the dial. In addition, dust can wear away at the crystal and enter the watch and cause damage. Finally, direct sunlight may cause premature aging of certain materials. If the temperature is too high, certain colors may fade and certain metals may deform.
Always have the watchmaker replace the battery or perform repairs
If someone has a personalized watch and wants to replace the battery or have it repaired, the safest option is to go to a specialist in custom diamond watches. They will use specialized tools and special techniques to make the necessary adjustments.
If a person tries to do it themselves, they could put the clock at risk. If the air is damp or cold and someone tries to replace the battery, moisture may form around the battery. If water seeps into the battery, removing the battery may be difficult because there is a safety valve that prevents the contents from being released. Attempting to force the valve open can further damage the component. Suppose someone inserts a damaged component into the watch. In this case, a short circuit could result and completely damage the watch movement.
If your watch has been affected by extreme temperatures, be sure to have your watch serviced by a professional.
This is especially true for mechanical watches. Since their internal movements include gears and oil, temperature differences may cause the chronograph to advance or lag. On the other hand, if the weather is too cold, the oil may freeze and the gears may inevitably stop running. Internal components may also expand and contract as a result of climate change.
If people go home without winding their watch or having it serviced, it can be permanently damaged. Therefore, professionals should be called in to check and adequately lubricate their watches.
Watches, if handled properly, will last for decades without any problems, regardless of the season. Likewise, decorative aspects such as custom watch bezels will remain intact, as will the important movements and mechanisms. Therefore, be sure to store and handle them properly.

At a Walmart Supercenter in Chesapeake, Virginia, where multiple fatalities have been reported, police are responding to a report of an active shooter.
At 10:12 p.m., according to a report by WAVY 10, the police were alerted to gunfire on Battlefield Boulevard. Tuesday.
Multiple fatalities and injuries have been reported, and according to Leo Kosinski, public information officer for the Chesapeake Police Department, police are evacuating the structure. The shooter’s death has also been officially confirmed by authorities.
At this time, it’s unclear how many people were killed and how severe the injuries were.


On Dec 2, 2017 I traveled to El Paso, Texas to take 1 day handgun class with legendary trainer John Farnam of Defense Training International. I used the class as an opportunity to train with my M&P Shield, running all the different magazine configurations I’ve been evaluating for the past few months. There are many ways to turn an M&P Shield into a practical 9+1 round carry gun.
Shield 9 round 9mm Magazine Options
There are a number of magazine basepad alternatives and replacement spring and follower kits available. I purchased several of them and have been using them all in practice, and during the Farnam class. This picture shows all of them, sorted by overall length.
The shortest one is the factory 7 round mag. This is handy when I pocket carry the Shield. With all the other variants, the grip of the gun is just too long for practical pocket carry, even in pants with large pocket openings like my favorite Propper pants. (I like the Propper pants because they are 4-pocket pants that can be worn anywhere dress pants or khakis can be worn, without the extra pockets that cargo or tactical pants have. They have larger pocket openings that make pocket carry of guns, larger phones, tourniquets and other stuff much easier.)
Another way to make a 9 round Shield magazine is to put the MagGuts +2 kit on a 7 round magazine. This option creates the slimmest 9 round magazine of all the variants I’ve been working with.
Next shown is a Glock 19 magazine for comparison. The Shield with an 8 round factory mag is basically the same length as a Glock 19, which holds twice as many rounds and is 0.8″ longer in barrel length but wider (thicker) than the Shield.
One of the first aftermarket solutions was the Plan B base pad made by the Safety Solutions Academy. It goes on the 8 round magazine and is a better option than the factory plastic sleeve. On SSA’s owner Paul Carlson’s recommendation, I purchased a MagGuts +1 spring/follower kit, making a 9-round Plan B magazine.
The Plan B magazine is basically the same length as the factory 8 round mag, which is shown to the right of the Plan B magazine.
Taylor Freelance makes a +1 base pad that uses the factory spring. It works on both the 7 and 8 round magazine. I put one on an 8 round mag, making another 9-round Shield 9mm magazine.
Next in line is a full size 17 round M&P magazine.
ProMag makes a 10 round magazine for the 9mm Shield. I bought a few of these thinking they might be handy to use as training mags in classes or loaner mags for students bringing Shield guns to classes designed for higher capacity guns. The first batch of 3 mags I got had feeding problems and I could not reliably get 10 rounds in them. The replacement mags I got back from ProMag were incredibly difficult to get 10 rounds in, but run reliably with loaded with 9. These mags are longer a full size M&P 17 round mag.
Running the 9 round mags in class
I had originally been scheduled to take a 2 day vehicle defense long gun class with John in Victoria, Texas in October 2017, but Hurricane Harvey disrupted my plans, and everything in Victoria. The hotel and the range were both damaged by the flood. John was returning to El Paso in December to teach a one day basic/intermediate pistol class, so I decided to divert my tuition to that course, which would give me an opportunity to see John teach the kind of students I frequently work with on the range. I’ve known John for years, as he’s attended and observed my sessions at the annual Rangemaster Tactical Conferences, and I’ve attended his classroom lectures. I had never seen him present his live fire curriculum, and as part of my Historical Handgun course development, I wanted to go to the “root of the tree” to see it the way he teaches it, rather than just reading about it in his books. John’s been a trainer for 40 years, and his ideas have been influential on many in the training industry.
The range was actually in New Mexico, just across the Texas/New Mexico border, and the US/Mexico border, not far from a large Border Patrol station. It was a public range out in the desert, with fine sand on the ground, so any mag dropped to the ground was likely to get sand in it. Because of that, John encouraged people to do reloads with retention. Mostly I let my mags fall to the ground to see if the sand would cause malfunctions. To my surprise and delight I had zero malfunctions in almost 500 rounds fired that day.
The class included a mix of drills shot on paper and rotating reactive steel targets.
The rotating steel targets were more challenging for those of us with lower capacity guns, as they often took more than 7-8 hits of 9mm to generate enough kinetic energy to rotate the target all the way around. The rotators are a standard target used in DTI classes, but I had never shot that particular target type before. Spinning the flipper requires accuracy and timing, as you have to assess the correct time to hit the plate, when it’s moving the correct direction. The mental challenge of target assessment this target provides was great, and I may get one of these for my own range.
In preparation for training with John I picked up copies of several of his books to add to my library. I collect signed copies of books written by firearms trainers, and this was my opportunity to get John to sign all of his books for my collection. One of the books I got (a 1st edition copy of his Farnam Method of Defensive Handgunning) had already been signed by him. It appeared to be a signed copy that had at one time belonged to his mother, based on the inscription. I brought the book with me to class, and he agreed that it likely was a copy he had given to her that had been sold in an estate sale. I gave the book back to him and he’s going to replace it with a signed copy of the most current edition.
He’s well known for the excellent content in his DTI quips column, which he’s written for more than 20 years. A collection of Quips from the late 90s and early 2000’s was collected in a book, Guns and Warriors, Vol 1. His wife Vicki is frequently a co-instructor in his classes, and has been an active trainer for many decades. Her book (co-written with Diane Nicholl), Teaching Women to Shoot, remains an important and useful book for those teaching defensive pistol skills.
I’ve shot my Shield a lot, but never 500 rounds in one session. The Farnam class required drawing, shooting on the move, lots of reloads, one handed shooting — a good test of usability and reliability of any defensive firearm. All the guns used by students in class worked well (a few SIG DA/SA guns, many Glocks, one Beretta APX, my Shield), and I had no malfunctions or problems with any of the magazine configurations I used, each providing 9 round capacity in the little Shield. By far my favorite for carry is the 7 round mag with the Magguts +2.
