Ukrainian crew of Valery Gorban and Vladimir Korsya is one of the competitors of WRC2 standing. They will meet strong competitors during this rally – such legends of the world rallying as Jari Ketomaa, Anders Grondal, Karl Kruuda.
Valery Gorban starts a new season in World Rally Championship with his MINI John Cooper Works RRC – the same he used the previous year. Thereby he can confirm that it is the reliable and competitive car so the crew can be sure in it’s technical base. The main news about Gorban’s crew is the change of the title sponsor which caused the replacement of the team’s name and the color of the car. Starting from Rally Sweden rally fans could follow Gorban in Eurolamp World Rally Team. The Eurolamp company was one of the official partners of the team during several last years but starting from this season TM Eurolamp will be presented as the main sponsor of Ukrainian crew.
Valery Gorban starts the fourth WRC year in his career, however, it will be his first Swedish Rally with MINI – he used to use Mitsubishi Lancer (Production). And despite the difference in the class of cars Gorban will use all his experience and snow-driving skills at these challenging and fast roads: four days, 24 special stages of 329 km and the total length of the race – 1582 km. Eurolamp World Rally Team has completed their test session and is ready for Rally Sweden.

Assembly Passes Legislative Package, Jaffee Measure to Curb Domestic Violence
Pearl River, NY – Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee (D-Suffern) announced the Assembly this week passed her resolution urging the New York State congressional delegation to reauthorize the federal Violence Against the Women Act (K.920). Additionally, Jaffee co-sponsored and encouraged her colleagues to pass several measures to provide more assistance and increase protections for victims of domestic violence.
Jaffee spoke out in support of her resolution on the Assembly floor, saying: “The Violence Against Women Act matters so deeply because domestic violence and sexual assault are pervasive, life-threatening crimes that affect millions of individuals across our nation – regardless of age, economic status, race, religion or education. In order to break the cycle of violence, we must continue to provide services that protect these victims, so they don’t have to live in the grip of constant, gnawing terror.”
According to a recent study, one in four women has experienced domestic violence, nearly three out of four people personally know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence, and three women on average are murdered each day by their intimate partners. Here in New York State, 450,000 incidents of domestic violence are reported each year.
“Victims of domestic violence experience physical pain, emotional trauma and financial hardships that can be especially severe since these crimes are committed by someone with whom the victim has a close, often intimate, personal relationship,” Jaffee added. “It is vital that we enact laws to ensure that victims of domestic violence have access to the assistance necessary to rebuild their lives.”
The Assembly’s package of bills would:
- prohibit employment discrimination against domestic violence victims (A.2348-A);
- prohibit housing discrimination against domestic violence victims by forbidding landlords and property sellers from denying an individual the right to purchase, rent, lease or inhabit housing because they are victims of domestic violence (A.9024);
- require criminal or family court judges to inquire about the defendant’s or respondent’s ownership or possession of a firearm when orders of protection are sought (A.2494-B);
- require the mandatory revocation or suspension of a firearms license for an individual against whom an order or temporary order of protection has been issued relating to certain domestic violence incidents (A.6406-A);
- make it illegal for an individual to possess a firearm if he or she has committed a family offense by adding “domestic violence offenses” to the list of serious offenses for which purchasing or possessing a license for a firearm, rifle or shotgun would constitute a class A misdemeanor (A.4488-A);
- establish the felony crime of aggravated family offense when a person has committed a specified domestic violence offense and has been convicted of one or more domestic violence offenses within the past five years (A.1986-B);
- require orders of protection issued in family court to be translated into the native language of the individuals involved (A.6113-A);
- expose individuals or parties who fail to obey or enforce an order of protection to joint liability for all non-economic damages sought by a claimant after a fact-finding by a judge or jury (A.2350);
- require hospitals to establish policies and procedures regarding domestic violence; establish ongoing training programs on domestic violence for staff, and designate a hospital staff member to coordinate services to victims (A.7585-A); and
- extend the maximum amount of days victims of domestic violence may stay in residential programs from 135 days to 180 days ensuring additional time for them to secure permanent housing (A.2651-A).
“This package of bills stands up for domestic violence victims by helping make sure they have better protections in place and the quality aftercare they deserve,” Jaffee said. “The legislation also sends a strong message to domestic violence offenders: New York State takes this crime very seriously and it won’t be tolerated here.”

Reservations for Wisconsin‘s Marathon County campgrounds are up this year as campers are looking forward to the upcoming camping season even as central Wisconsin is bound to meet cold temperatures.
“It’s hard to think of camping when there’s snow on the ground, but it’s looking really well,” Marathon County and Wausau Director of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Jamie Polley told a local report.
Marathon County campgrounds so far have 900 reservations booked for the 2022 season.
Polley explained that people can now reserve a camping spot at Marathon County campgrounds up to 365 days ahead. With many people considering camping, reservations are only bound to go up.
She noted that they witnessed an increase of 36% in new campers in 2020 and a similar increase in 2021. As campgrounds are being filled up, retailers like King’s Campers are attempting to replenish their inventory even as they witness campers and RVs getting sold quickly.
“The camping season is looking great,” King’s Campers Sales Manager John Gajewski said.
Gajewski shared that they had trouble with inventory last year but climbed back up this year.

TERRE DEI CONSOLI - 25th & 26th August -
Developed by the Leonardo Caltagirone Group, the 18-hole championship course at the Terre Dei Consoli Golf Club is located within an enterprising residential resort
which lies to the north of the capital and it´s a Robert Trent Jones Jnr design that first opened its doors to golfers in 2011.
The name Terre dei Consoli refers to a territory that was considered precious to Roman Consuls during the days of the Roman Empire and Via Francigena, the historical pilgrim route from France to Rome, cuts across the course behind the par five 8th hole.
Unusually for a modern layout, the course is set with an out-and-back routing as a result of this the 9th hole is located furthest from the clubhouse. With three par
five (including back-to-back three-shotters at holes 7 and 8) and only one short hole on the front nine, par is set at 38 for the outward half.
On the way home, three short holes and two par fives set par for the back nice at 35. The signature hole is regarded as the 150-yard 17th, played to an island green, but the 480-yard, downhill 15th- where a severely contoured green sits behind a small creek – also as much to commend it.
"It will be a great pleasure to host the Long Drivers European Tour this year.
When the famous architect Robert Trent Jones II, design Terre dei Consoli, his mission was to create not only one of the best courses in Italy, but the longest (7.600 yards) and “flexible” 18 holes in Europe.
I’m quite sure that all the participants will be very happy to compete here as well as the unique practice facilities with its academy.
I hope that all the contenders of the LDET will relax in our villas and apartments and they’d spend a day by discovering the Eternal City. Me and my staff are waiting for you" said Ascanio Pacelli, Certified Club Manager of Terre dei Consoli.

Thursday, the Health Minister of South Africa announced that the number of people infected by AIDS, especially among young girls, is on the rise. The latest study shows that a shocking 28% of school-aged girls are currently infected with AIDS. The numbers among boys of the same age group is much lower, only 4%. This suggests that it is not the fault of young boys having unprotected sex, it is much older men. A disturbing trend has emerged, with young girls prostituting themselves to much older “sugar-daddies,” as health minister Motsoaledi called them. Not only is the age difference and prostituting of young girls alarming from a moral standpoint, it is also contributing to the spread of a debilitating virus.
Although South Africa has the strongest AIDS treatment program in the world, the demand (about 6 million of 50 million are infected) may prove too great to support. Since the financial crisis began in 2008, countries have focused more and more on stabilizing their own economies, and are contributing less to charitable causes. Notably, the United States, who provides around 500 million dollars in support each year is enduring budget cuts that will force them to cut that number in half by 2017. Thus far, the South African government has been able to provide services such as voluntary testing and awareness presentation, while encouraging condom distribution in schools. However, it remains unknown what programs will be cut when funds drop so significantly in the near future.
In spite of the difficult situation that they find themselves in, there is an encouraging side as well. Since these services are readily available, it appears that students are taking advantage of them. The low number of infected males suggests that they are using protection, which has been backed by a recent study showing that 80% of males in the area and age group are in fact using condoms on a regular basis.
The problem remains in the cultural numbness to the idea that older men sleeping with young girls is wrong. If that were to change, the AIDS crisis would be cut off at its source and save a generation of suffering. However, with rising costs and demand, the outlook is not encouraging. AIDS remains the most common cause of an early death in Africa, causing nearly 50% of all premature deaths. 20 Years ago, it was the 12th leading cause, but it has dramatically increased since then and continues to do so today. The organizations combating the virus will have to bolster their resolve and find a way through the financial crisis and the falling contributions that it represents, but there is still hope for those affected by the pandemic.

UPDATE 10/15/13 @ 5:15 p.m.
SOUTH WEBSTER, Ohio (WSAZ) -- When it comes to Giovanni's Pizza in South Webster, all the buzz is usually about the pizza. But Monday, the Scioto County Sheriff's Department says the restaurant became the center of an armed robbery investigation.
"You never really know what to expect," Giovanni's General Manager Jeffrey Mullins said. "This has never happened to me, it's never happened to my employees. You just don't know how to react."
Mullins says sometime after 4 p.m. Monday, a man dressed in a large coat, ski mask and gloves came into the business looking for some quick cash.
"We were all back in the kitchen, working on cleaning up and getting stuff ready for dinner," Mullins said. "Next thing you know, someone hollers, 'someone just came in and stole the register'."
Mullins called police and gave them a description of the suspect and the getaway car, but he also noticed the robber dropped some type of weapon while trying to get away.
"it fell out in the parking lot right after he went out," Mullins said.
Scioto County Sheriff's Deputies say the gun was actually an airsoft pistol. Investigators began working to track down the suspect. Investigators say it appears the suspect used a t-shirt to cover the
tags on his car.
A short time later, deputies spotted the car driving down SR 140. They arrested the driver, Jonathan Bellar, 19, charging him with armed robbery and breaking and entering.
During the investigation, detectives learned Bellar had also broken into the Country Store just down the road. According to store employees, nothing was stolen thanks to the security alarm going off.
Tuesday afternoon, deputies returned Giovanni's stolen cash register that had been tossed into a nearby creek during the getaway, along with the clothing and masked used in the robbery.
As for Mullins, this situation has given him new persepctive on how far criminals are willing to go to steal some cash.
"Be leery," Mullins said. "Always keep your guard up. You never know what's going to come in. These are hard times for everyone."

New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan said in an interview that he has "no sense of judgment" on NFL prospect Michael Sam who announced in February that he is gay, and also commented on Pope Francis' recent remarks that he could be open to civil unions.
"Good for him. I would have no sense of judgment on him. God bless ya … Look, the same Bible that … teaches us well about the virtues of chastity and the virtue of fidelity and marriage also tells us not to judge people. So I would say, 'Bravo,'" Dolan said on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, when asked for his views on the issue.
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — The Left's focus on "political correctness" prevents Americans from speaking common sense about political issues, Dr. Ben Carson, former pediatric neurosurgery director at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center who shot to fame last year when he gave a politically incorrect speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, declared In a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
"It's time for people to stand up and proclaim what they believe and stop being bullied!" Carson said in his Saturday speech recalling attacks by people intentionally misrepresenting his views. "I'll let you know why I'm not a fan of political correctness, I hate political correctness, I will continue to defy the PC police who have tried in many cases to shut me up," Carson said.
The former doctor attacked left-leaning media for misquoting a statement he made last year at the Values Voter Summit about the Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare." "I said that Obamacare was the worst thing since slavery," Carson recalled. The media misreported him as saying Obamacare is the same thing as slavery, he alleged. "Of course they're not the same thing. Slavery is much worse," but he argued that this falsehood reveals the strategy behind political correctness. more >>
What do you do when you have no confidence that the party that holds to many of your core values will actually stand up for those values if put back in power? In the aftermath of CPAC, that's the predicament I find myself in when it comes to the Republican Party, and I'm sure I don't speak for myself alone.
Had I been a supporter of Barack Obama and had I been in agreement with the most recent Democratic Party Platform, I would have cause for jubilation.
After all, Mr. Obama held true to his historic, radical, pro-abortion position, one that was celebrated in shocking fashion at the DNC last year and one that was reinforced with the president's infamous "Thank you, Planned Parenthood, and God bless you." Not even the Kermit Gosnell trial could take the wind out of this administration's devotion to the slaughter of the unborn. more >>
In the past decade, many Evangelical churches across the country have increasingly had to wrestle with how to engage members of their congregation who identify as LGBT. But this dilemma has not remained only at the lay level.
In 2012, the leadership staff at the southern California megachurch, Calvary Community Church (CCC), had to grapple with their church's convictions on homosexuality, when Kevin McCloskey, one of the members of the executive team revealed that he was gay and that he would be also be divorcing his wife of 17 years.
Executive Pastor Curtis Johnson declined to speak specifically with The Christian Post about the McCloskey case but agreed to share a more general perspective about how church leadership approached the situation, which resulted in McCloskey's termination. Referring to his former colleague multiple times during the interview as a "friend" and "good guy," Johnson said that CCC leadership sought to make its decision through the lens of its mission. more >>
A Sharia law court in northern Nigeria ordered four men to be whipped after they were found guilty of homosexuality this week.
The court forced each of the four men, who ranged in age from 22 to 28, to lie on the floor of the room and receive 15 lashes from horsewhips, Dorothy Aken'Ova, the Executive Director of the Coalition for the Defense of Sexual Rights Network, told France 24. They were also fined $125, which could cause future problems for them, as if they are not able to come up the funds they could be forced to spend a year in prison.
"The court session was kept secret from the public and the judgment given and executed before the news filtered into the city," court clerk Abdul Mohammed confirmed. more >>
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. – A panel at the Conservative Political Action Conference on whether social conservatives and libertarians could cooperate was dominated by the debate over same-sex marriage.
Alexander McCobin, co-founder and president of the Students for Liberty, stressed during Friday's panel the difference between "a political philosophy and a personal lifestyle" and listed various conservatives who may personally oppose same-sex marriage yet accept its legal recognition.
"Just because you believe people ought to act a certain way doesn't mean you want the government to require them to be that," said McCobin. more >>


DENVER — The Colorado Economic Development Commission approved a package of tax incentives Thursday in hopes of enticing an unnamed global landscaping products manufacturer to build a robotics research and development center in Weld County.
The company, referred to in EDC and Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade documents as Project Columbia, will be offered $519,626 in incentives in exchange for the creation of net new jobs at an average annual wage of $106,889.
It is the commission’s practice not to identify companies OEDIT is recruiting until incentives are accepted.
Project Columbia is described by OEDIT as a “worldwide provider of innovative solutions for the outdoor environment including turf and landscape maintenance, snow and ice management, underground utility construction, rental and specialty construction, and irrigation and outdoor lighting solutions.”
In addition to Weld County, the company is considering building its robotics center in Minnesota, where it is headquartered. Project Columbia will “base its decision on cost of the markets it is considering and the relative value of economies of scale in its respective operations in Colorado and Minnesota,” according to OEDIT.
A commercial real estate site selector who was representing Project Columbia told the EDC that the mystery company has existing operations in Longmont.
Evidence suggests that Project Columbia is The Toro Co. (NYSE: TTC), a Bloomington, Minnesota-based global lawn-care and turf and roadway maintenance products company.
Toro in 2021 acquired Left Hand Robotics Inc., a Longmont startup that developed an autonomous snow-plowing robot and pledged to maintain a presence in the area.

Nearly all US business sectors were impacted in some way by the COVID pandemic. With 76 percent of paying workers no longer able to work, the financial impact was significant.
In response, the government brought in employee retention credit to mediate some of the damages.
This is a refundable tax credit that employers can use to recover the wages paid to employees who could not work during the last quarter.
Suppose your business was severely impacted by covid-19. In that case, you could recover up to 70 percent of the wages you paid up to $10,000 for each calendar quarter.
In this article, we’ll be explaining how to claim the employee retention credit. Let’s dive in!
Who’s Eligible To Claim The Employee Retention Credit?
You can make a claim under the following stipulations:
If your business operation was fully or partially suspended during any calendar quarter of 2021 due to orders from a governmental authority.
This includes restrictions on commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to COVID-19.
Or, if your business endured a significant downturn in gross receipts during the calendar quarter, you’re also eligible.
By significant decline, this means that your gross receipts were less than 20 percent of gross receipts for the same calendar quarter in 2019.
What Are The Benefits Of The ERC? What Does It Include?
The maximum claim you can make on any employee in 2021 is $7,000 per quarter per employee. This is calculated from the $10,000 allowance stipulated for any calendar quarter.
Since you can claim up to 70 percent of the amount paid to an employee during each quarter of 2021. This amount also includes allocable qualified health plan expenses.
How’s ERC For 2021 Calculated?
ERC is calculated according to qualified wages. For a salary to qualify, it must have been received when:
- An employee was not able to render services due to COVID restrictions
- During a time when the business’s gross receipts experienced a significant decline.
Such wages are calculated as follows:
Suppose a business has less than 100 full-time employees affected by these stipulations. In that case, it’s considered a ‘small eligible employer.’
This allows you to include seasonal employers, part-time employees, and employers not in existence in 2019 under your qualified wages. These businesses can also apply for an advanced payment of credit using a 7200 form.
Whereas, if a business has more than 500 affected employees, it’s considered a ‘large eligible employer.’
For large eligible employers, their qualified wages will include paid to both active (working) employees and those not providing services. Larger businesses, however, cannot request an advance.
Instead, they can opt to take their claim before filing their employment tax returns. This means their employment tax deposits are reduced in anticipation of the employee retention credit. (See below for more details).
How Do You Make Your Claim?
To apply for ERC, you’ll need to report your total qualified wages and the related health insurance costs for each quarter on your quarterly employment tax returns. You can do this using form 941.
You can retain the corresponding ERC amount, that is, the amount you would have deposited to your employment tax, as a tax credit without incurring any failure to deposit penalties.
Suppose you’ve already filed your employment tax credit form. In that case, you can file with a 941-X form which allows you to amend a previously submitted 941.
In other words, if you have passed the relevant ERC quarter but you did not make an ERC claim earlier in the year, you can use this form to update your old quarterly tax returns.
What’s The Deadline For ERC?
Form 941 must be submitted by the last day of the month following the end of the quarter.
The tax quarters are:
- Q1: January, February, and March
- Q2: April, May, and June
- Q3: July, August, and September
- Q4: October, November, and December.
For example, if you intend to file for the first quarter, you would have to submit by April 30th for wages you pay during the first quarter, January through March.
Suppose you were claiming ERC using a 941-X, in other words, making a revision to a previously filed quarter. In that case, you have up to three years from the date you filed your original return.
Alternatively, you have two years from the date you paid the tax to make your claim (all quarterly Forms 941 filed for a calendar year are considered filed on April 15th of the following year.)
Can You File ERC And PPP In The Same Tax Year?
No, you cannot include employee wages claimed under PPP forgiveness. Employers in receipt of the Small Business Interruption Loan under the Paycheck Protection Program are not eligible for the Employee Retention Credit.
Can You Include Sick Wages?
If you received a tax credit for paid sick and family leave under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, you will not be eligible for ERC.
The same is true for wages counted underpaid family and medical leave according to section 45S of the Internal Revenue Code.
Can You File For ERC If You Get Work Opportunity Tax?
Suppose you’re entitled to a work opportunity tax credit. In that case, your employees won’t qualify for ERC under section 51 of the Internal Revenue Code for the employee.
Are You Ready For The ERC Filing Process?
This may seem like a lot to take on. But, as with filing for any taxes, the rules around credits and reliefs can be confusing.
Filing the wrong documentation or losing track of a deadline can mean you miss out on opportunities you are eligible for.
ERC Today has all the information you need to claim the employee retention credit. We can help you get your tax retention credit fast with our accurate and speedy service. So, contact us today for more information!

Aside from watching the incredible mental gymnastics to reconcile an unsupportable ideology with raw reality (i.e. a woman has the right to walk naked into a biker bar and not be molested — well okay, well maybe that’s unrealistic, but she should! [Keep this in mind, you’ll see it again]) the reason this is funny is — as a marketing strategy — not only been there done that, but it’s crashed and burned.
When young women say no to feminism, feminists don’t accept no means no — Christina Hoff Summers.
About 10 years ago I had a saying, “Rape, domestic violence and WSD are the last bastions of rad feminism.” Overwhelmingly American women have rejected the direction that feminism has taken (i.e., “First, don’t tell me what I think. Second, you don’t speak for me.”). The core elements of why this rejection was covered nicely in Sherrye Henry’s “The Deep Divide” where 1,000s of women from different ages and social classes were interviewed about what they thought and felt about issues that second wave feminism claimed to represent them on. There was just a tiny little difference of opinion. (Hence the don’t tell me what I think or claim you represent me). Fundamentally, trying to tell women — who know what their lives are like –what their lives are like lacks a degree of credibility. It is only in the extremes, in areas where people do not have first-hand experience (or much experience), that wild ideas begin to sound plausible. Hence why the ‘retreat’ to these topics. While many women have experience fighting with their spouse/boyfriend/SIG they don’t have first hand experience with abuse so they can’t for certain say what is and what is not bullshit. Hey, maybe that is true…
That background is important to understand something … why WSD nearly died in the previous decade.
The rad fems HAD an almost total chokehold on the topic. And I am not bullshitting when I tell you “You have the right not to be molested when you walk naked into a biker bar” WAS the kind of thing being taught. Often it was kind of a rad fem boot camp promoting anger, aggression, self-righteousness and ‘hey diddle diddle straight up the middle’ fighting strategies against larger, stronger opponents. In speaking to many women who had taken this kind of training, their most common complaint was about the anger of it all and constant barrage of feminist rhetoric. They wanted to learn how to be safe, not be recruited. But they especially didn’t want to be taught how to ‘fight’ men under the guise of ’empowerment.’ Which unfortunately, that’s what they were being taught.
As such, WSD had a shit reputation. From a marketing and sales standpoint it was a complete and total Sisyphean task to get women to attend such classes. Those who had taken such training warned others about it and there was great resistance because of this. I had to specifically state we weren’t pushing the feminist agenda to get people to attend. A big reason for the expansion of WSD programs is exactly because other people are now teaching them rather than the rad fems. (Now are there problems with what’s being taught? Yes, but that’s another conversation.)
The thing that cracked me up about this article is the absolute certainty the author has about calling for the bad old days of WSD training. An approach that nearly bankrupted a whole lot of people who bought into it.
Now that shit’s funny…
Knowing what to do is not enough. What will kill you are all the things you don’t know not to do.
That is an extension of a meme found in EVERY survival based training I’ve ever encountered — that is: What you think you know will kill you.
I don’t care if it’s wilderness, desert, cold weather, ocean, or safety, the biggest danger is what you think you know to do (e.g. when attacked by a bear, throw your backpack away so it will go after that). The second biggest danger is not knowing what not to do. To someone who is untrained or inexperienced there are certain things that just seem logical and natural but will have negative results in certain environments. (E.g. while rock climbing, it is counter-intuitive to stick your ass out in the air. In this position your hands create a hinge/pivot effect that ‘drives’ your feet into rock face. Whereas the most ‘natural’ response, bellying up against the wall puts you parallel with it and you will just ‘plane’ off it and fall. Until you know not to do that, you will belly up, exhaust yourself and you will fall.) For safety sake, you need both lists — one of what ‘to do’ and ‘one of not to do’
This brings us to my first problem with the ‘don’t tell us what not to do’ position. Apparently, we can tell them anything except what not to do to increase their danger. Not decrease their danger, behaviors that actively increase dangers or all kinds are a verboten topic. They might as well be complaining about someone telling people not to throw light matches down a car’s gasoline tank.– because it’s interfering with their rights, oppressing them, trying to control them, victim blaming and we might trigger anyone who blew themselves up that way.
That list makes my teeth itch anyway, but where I hit the roof is with the last one. Wait a fuckin’ minute… You’re telling me I CAN’T warn people about throwing matches down a gas tank because of POTENTIAL self-esteem issues of someone who did?
They are in essence saying, because of their emphasis on ‘feelings’ and their beliefs, I have to remain mute and let other women get raped and sexually assaulted?That is to me manufacturing more victims to support their agenda, cause and careers. (There’s a reason I call it the ‘rape industry.) Sorry, I’ve seen too much pain and suffering to quietly sit there while this idea is promoted … and if they think they can intimidate and cow me into silence because of their anger and outrage … heh, They’re adorable.
My second problem is: They get to dictate what is taught?
For people — who are so concerned about oppression, censorship and forcing everyone to conform to accepted standards– them trying to shut down anybody with a different perspective (much less insisting on only one doctrine is allowed) … well, that isn’t exactly walking your talk is it? (That is unless your doctrine is “Oh no, we Ferengi aren’t against oppression. We just want to be the one’s doing it.”)
I’ve been told to my face that saying ‘an underaged girl sneaking into a frat house party with false ID and binge drinking herself into unconsciousness is not going to end well” is interfering with– and I quote — “A girls right to have fun.” And this BTW, by the HEAD of a university’s rape crisis center. (Once again, manufacturing future clients)
Yet, I am not allowed to tell people that such behavior is dangerous because it interferes with a girls right to have fun?That incident was ten years ago. Yet, just last year the woman who was pillared for daring to write an article telling young women not to binge drink into unconsciousness and incapacitation because — bad shit happens when you do — was also attacked for trying to suppress women’s rights.
I’ve heard the arguments you speak of; as well as the position that it is only through (highly funded and strictly controlled orthodox) education that this ‘social crisis’ can be solved. To this, I quietly respond, “bullshit.” The proof is in the pudding. These ideas have been being promoted for over ten years. If their approach worked, rapes would be going down. But according to them rape — especially on college campus — are going up. So by their own admission their approach is a failure… so why should we continue to let them dictate our approach to the problem?

The eastern fox squirrel (Sciurus niger) is one of 22 non-native species of mammals now successfully breeding in the wild in California. The focus of this study was to describe current and historical distribution of the eastern fox squirrel in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area (Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura counties) in relation to their initial point of introduction in 1904. Data were obtained through questionnaires, submissions to websites, direct observations, records of wildlife-rehabilitation centers, and specimens in the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History. Locations of eastern fox squirrels were geo-referenced on a map to ascertain the current distribution. A time-series distribution map was created to document expansion of the range from the point of introduction to distribution of the species in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area as of 2004. Distribution of the population in Los Angeles County was expanding at rates of 0.44–3.44 km/year during varying time periods over the 100 years since the introduction. By determining the periphery of the current distribution of the eastern fox squirrel and rate of expansion of the range in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, wildlife managers in surrounding communities may be able to anticipate locations where future expansions of the range may occur.

Yana Grant, a 24-yr-previous in Tulsa, Okla., says she created the conclusion previous year to stay little one-free of charge. (Yana Grant)
SAN FRANCISCO — Dyanna Volek was by no means anyone who dreamed of turning out to be a mother.
From an early age, she knew deep down that she did not want kids. Maybe it stemmed from seeing her mother sacrifice her aspiration of becoming a flight attendant and function a few positions to raise two young ones by itself. Or possibly it was that other endeavors fascinated her extra.
“I’m generally wanting forward to the following factor,” claimed Volek, who performs in regional governing administration in San Francisco. “Being a father or mother was under no circumstances a person of them.”
Nevertheless, the idea of not possessing children appeared taboo, so she didn’t dwell on it a lot. It wasn’t until finally a few decades ago when she started out receiving major with her associate that she definitely reckoned with her thoughts. By the time she and her husband bought married previous November, they experienced reached a conclusion: They didn’t want kids.
Volek is now 37 and doesn’t see herself modifying her thoughts.
Not obtaining little ones presents her a feeling of freedom that her good friends who are mother and father do not have. Now that they’re vaccinated, she and her spouse have been equipped to try to eat at dining places, go to live shows and vacation without worrying about jeopardizing their child’s protection.
They can do the job towards retiring early, a aim that would be in any other case unattainable in a metropolis as highly-priced as theirs. And in their day-to-working day existence, they have plenty of time for on their own.
Volek is 1 of a escalating quantity of ladies in the U.S. who are opting not to have children — portion of a craze that has been underway for more than a decade.
Since 2007, the nation’s start charge experienced been declining about 2% each individual yr on common. Even with early speculation about a pandemic child increase, the coronavirus disaster accelerated the decline even further more, with births falling by 4% final calendar year.
It was the greatest annual decrease in the amount of births due to the fact 1973, in accordance to the Facilities for Illness Command and Prevention.
Demographers issue to a range of aspects driving this phenomenon: economic insecurity, political uncertainty, shifting gender norms and a lessening stigma all over the option to continue being youngster-totally free. However the pandemic laid bare just how small assistance households in the U.S. acquire from the federal government when it will come to childcare and other obligations, some ladies had presently manufactured up their minds right before then.
Below are some motives why some gals are choosing not to have young ones.
They never want the accountability
Cecilia Sanders, a 32-12 months-outdated job supervisor in Chicago, was positive early on that she didn’t want little ones. It felt like far too fantastic of a duty, and the thought of pregnancy worried her.
Nonetheless, she stated she felt pressured to sense in another way, as however she would be disappointing other people by not owning young ones. For about a 12 months, she tried to power herself to transform her intellect, chatting to mates who had been mom and dad about their experiences and how they designed time for themselves.
As it turns out, her friends typically didn’t have time for on their own. Their youngsters, they claimed, arrived initially.
Sanders realized that sacrificing her have desires to fulfill her obligation as a mum or dad would be in particular taxing for her. She grapples with anxiousness and despair, and when individuals disorders flare up, even having treatment of herself gets to be tough.
The assumed of elevating small children when continue to preserving her psychological wellbeing seemed close to difficult.
“Following a 12 months of actually pondering about it, I was like, ‘No. If I do this, I am lying to myself,'” she reported.
They fear a deficiency of guidance
For some, how the U.S. treats moms is rationale sufficient not to have small children.
Amy Blackstone, a sociologist at the University of Maine and writer of “Childfree by Alternative: The Movement Redefining Household and Creating a New Age of Independence,” said the deficiency of spouse and children-friendly guidelines in the U.S. is one explanation guiding the declining birth fee in new several years — something that the pandemic built even more distinct.
In excess of the past yr, mothers and fathers have experienced to carry on operating, normally with no youngster treatment or though having to support their little ones discover remotely. The problem has remaining people today stressed and depleted, and maybe additional possible to delay or rethink having much more little ones.
“The pandemic has genuinely uncovered to us how badly we help mothers and fathers in the U.S.,” Blackstone mentioned. “We have come to see the truth that we have always recognized but never ever communicate out loud, which is that parenting is definitely tricky. And we really don’t truly assistance mothers and fathers in that position.”
That was undoubtedly a thought for Yana Grant, a 24-calendar year-aged in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who determined last calendar year to not have children. The U.S. offers no national, paid out parental leave plan. Boy or girl care can be high-priced or difficult to obtain. And women are continue to a lot more probable to shoulder the brunt of parenting responsibilities and domestic jobs.
“As before long as you find out that you might be expecting, you have to be a mother initial and then a lady,” Grant explained. “Adult men get to be gentlemen and then a father, it looks like.”
As a Black woman, Grant has other matters to stress about, way too. Black gals are extra likely than ladies of any other race to die of pregnancy-related complications. They’re also more probably to have their issues dismissed, their soreness untreated and their ordeals disbelieved.
For Grant, all those worries are rooted in truth. A couple decades in the past, she felt her heart beating fast and her throat inflammation, and went to see a professional medical experienced. She reported the doctor told her to stay hydrated and sent her house without examining her thyroid. When she noticed yet another medical professional for the identical indications about a 12 months later on, she was identified with Graves’ illness, an autoimmune condition that leads to an overactive thyroid.
If she got expecting and some thing were being to go mistaken, Grant fears her signs and symptoms and complaints may be equally dismissed.
“I truly feel like as a Black female, you don’t have a whole lot that is yours,” she stated. “And so me maintaining that section of me is the only issue I know I have handle of. (I can) say that I built that conscious choice to help you save myself simply because extra than probably, no just one else is heading to do it.”
They like their life as it is
When Jordan Levey centered on regulation college and building her job, she assumed a “maternal intuition” would sooner or later kick in. When she discovered a husband or wife, she figured, they’d settle down and potentially make your mind up to have children.
Now that she’s 35 and has been married for four years, Levey claimed she and her husband have understood they prefer their present life-style. They very own a condo and are loving parents to their dog. And even though they equally generate a relaxed residing, they’d instead spend their income on the items they appreciate.
“We are genuinely satisfied in our lifestyle. We appreciate to travel, we appreciate to cook, we both seriously benefit our alone time and that self-care,” she explained. “I assume we would be perfectly fantastic mothers and fathers — I just don’t think we would enjoy it.”
For Sanders, not having little ones makes it possible for her time to go after all of her pursuits: composing, enjoying guitar, climbing, touring and rescuing animals. It also indicates that she can target a lot more on her vocation, which for her is “the most essential detail.”
“I unquestionably sense I almost certainly wouldn’t be as significantly in my profession as I am now and (I wouldn’t be) capable to just are living my typical daily life and pursue my hobbies and passions,” Sanders reported. “I wouldn’t be residing my fullest life.”
That gals like Levey and Sanders experience empowered to choose a lifestyle without the need of youngsters is important, Blackstone stated.
In the past, gals who could have been inclined to keep on being childfree may have presented birth in any case due to the fact that is what society envisioned from them. In the latest decades, nevertheless, those norms and attitudes have changed.
“We are acquiring extra conversations about the actuality that parenthood is an solution, not anything that everybody has to do,” she said.
But they are still judged for their option
It is really perhaps extra socially acceptable than ever for girls not to have youngsters. Even so, gals who decide on to keep on being boy or girl-no cost say they however truly feel like they continually have to describe their possibilities to other individuals.
They have been known as egocentric, accused of hating little ones and told they are going to regret their selection afterwards in lifetime when they discover on their own by yourself.
Volek said she felt baby-absolutely free persons like herself ended up judged as superficial or not having grasped the enormity of the selection they are producing, when that couldn’t be additional from the reality.
“People today who pick to be baby-totally free feel a lot about it — I would argue even a lot more than folks who have young children,” she included.
The assumption that boy or girl-absolutely free ladies you should not treatment about youngsters only just isn’t correct both, some say. Volek enjoys playing with her friends’ little ones. Levey enjoys paying out time with her niece and nephew.
Grant is in a connection with a guy who has a son and is beautifully pleased to dangle out with the youngster 1 on just one.
“I will talk to if he would like to go see ‘Boss Newborn 2.’ I will consider him to some of the Smithsonians,” said the Oklahoma resident, who plans to shift with her associate to Washington, D.C. “But that is as significantly as I will go.”
Blackstone, who has interviewed numerous persons about their conclusion to continue to be kid-totally free, stated that the persons she’s spoken to admit that it can be achievable they may well 1 day regret generating the alternative that they have.
But she reported they’d instead not have young ones and regret it later than have youngsters and regret it later on.

Franklin Parrasch Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by New York- based artist Chris Churchill. Four large-scale paintings and 15 drawings focus on landscapes that reference aspects of Romantic painting – a tradition from which the artist freely borrows.
These densely composed images reveal a fascination with subterranean phenomena, volcanology, and unpredictable earthly forces. The artist’s approach to these phenomena, however, is pointedly non-scientific. Using discarded photographic imagery (including old travel magazines and catalogues of 19th century photography) as source material, Churchill alludes to wilderness landscapes of the past – from the ideal to the cliché. His use of color as line deliberately avoids any referential application of color theory. Random chromatic order in these images focuses the viewer’s attention upon the interior and composite structure of a vista. A mountain or a lake is painted in a chromatically random manner, though the structural organization of such a space depicts an imagined rendition of its interior.
Shapes within these landscapes implode with abundant overlapping lines. Clearly outlined forms often give way to looser brushwork that suggests rather than defines subjects. Churchill’s system of organization employs a non-palette that altogether eliminates a referential scale of hue or values, thus making the pictures appear spatially inverted.
Churchill describes his landscapes as “studies of form” and reveals “Looking at a glove one can either pull it off and maintain its shape or turn the glove inside out and create another space entirely. I look at a mountain as an object in this same way.”
For images, biography and further information on this exhibition please contact the gallery at (212) 246-5360, or log onto the gallery’s website at www.franklinparrasch.com.


A species badly affected by the Black Summer bushfires is making a comeback in the Mount Beauty region.
Seventy juvenile spotted tree frogs were returned to the area as part of a funded conservation and release program overseen by Zoos Victoria.
A further 300 tadpoles and other frog species have also been released across the river system.
This is the first release into the area since 26 frogs were taken from multiple sites in 2021 after the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires. They were placed into the program for a chance of rehabilitation and successful breeding to grow the population again.
The bushfires destroyed 50 per cent of known spotted tree frog habitat in Victoria.
The small green amphibians with bumpy skin are critically endangered, with the populations declining due to chytridiomycosis, a disease caused by fungus. Other factors of their decline include natural disasters and predation by non-native fish.
As part of the program, more than 800 amphibians have now been bred at the Bushfire Recovery Centre at Melbourne Zoo and Threatened Amphibian Biolab at Healesville Sanctuary.
The initiative is supported by many organisations including the Australian government.
Zoos Victoria chief executive Jenny Gray is pleased to see the frogs return to the region.
"Zoos Victoria is thrilled to return critically endangered spotted tree frogs to their wild home to bolster the species' resilience against the threat of bushfire," Dr Gray said.
"It's a privilege to introduce robust genetics to sustain local Victorian populations for years to come."

December 4, 2012 marks the one year anniversary for the sad loss of personal friend and Excel MVP Nate Oliver. This is my blog entry from that weekend after learning of Nate’s sudden passing.
During this past year, Nate’s name has come up countless times in Excel and Access forums by friends and Office users. Some posts were technical questions, redirected to an answer Nate has already provided. Other posts were simply made to recall Nate’s name, missing him in absence.
While I was at the 2012 MVP Summit last February, many MVPs, some of whom I’d never met of technologies other than Excel or Access, raised Nate’s name in conversation and fond memory.
I took this video on February 27, 2012 at the Rock Bottom Brewery in Bellevue, Washington, where Excel and Access MVPs had convened after hours, during the week of the Microsoft MVP Summit. Access MVP Duane Hookom recounts Nate’s memorial service that was held two months earlier in Minnesota, with the MVP award representation of lapel pins, guestbook insignias, and Nate’s MVP trophy. Duane also shared a picture collage of Nate, and led a toast in Nate’s honor.
Meanwhile, Nate’s Facebook page remains as active as ever.
And there have been several more tributes to Nate. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to express your comments at the bottom of my page here, or on the pages at these tribute links:

So tonight, I go my very first set of knitting needles (regular, double pointed, and those ones that make round stuff) and some yarn. I watched several videos on YouTube, and successfully cast on my first row, then knitted some very ugly rows.
I don't really know what happened, but I ended up with some very large loops hanging off the end of the rows, and some how I had some extra loops on my needles... I know this will come better with practice, but OY it is hard!
I am determined to learn, and Hubby has already requested a hat...
I wish I had a mentor!

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has spoken publicly about allegations he raped a woman in Sweden in 2010, releasing a statement and documents and claiming he is "entirely innocent".
Assange, an Australian citizen, has been accused -- but not charged -- of non-consensual sex with a Swedish woman. He has been fighting police requests that he be extradited to Sweden, claiming the investigation was politically motivated due to his Wikileaks organisation exposing numerous scandals around the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and publishing classified diplomatic cables. Assange has been holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London since June 2012, after seeking asylum to prevent him being taken back to Sweden.
Wikileaks claims Assange has been "detained" for six years, starting with his arrest in London in December 2010 and continuing through legal processes and his asylum at the embassy. A United Nations working group ruled in February that he had been arbitrarily detained by the United Kingdom and Sweden since his arrest, and called on the countries to end his "deprivation of liberty". To mark the six years, Assange on Tuesday released a statement and other documents he had provided to a Swedish prosecutor several weeks ago -- the first time, Assange claims, he had been formally questioned over the rape claims.
In the 19-page statement, released on the website Justice4Assange.com, Assange lists text messages he claims are from the woman involved in the rape claims, known as SW. Assange says he met the woman while he was in Sweden giving a talk, and they later went to a hotel and had sex several times. Later, he said SW asked him to take a test for sexually transmitted infections, and when he said he was busy, Assange claims SW said she would go to the police.
"I agreed to take the test out of goodwill and to reassure her, although I told her I could not do it until the following day, Saturday. We were in agreement and arranged to meet the following day in the nearby park around lunchtime when I would have time to get tested," Assange wrote.
"You can imagine my disbelief when I woke the next morning to the news that I had been arrested in my absence for "rape" and that police were "hunting" all over Stockholm for me."
Assange said that the Swedish prosecutors' claims that SW had been asleep during part of their sexual intercourse was also untrue.
"I am entirely innocent. I was already cleared of exactly this allegation in 2010 by the Chief Prosecutor of Stockholm, Eva Finne, who closed the case," Assange wrote.
"During the height of the Pentagon's conflict with me the following month, the allegation was resurrected by the current prosecutor, Marianne Ny. It was immediately seized on to extinguish my freedom of movement and harm my reputation."
He claimed his Swedish lawyer was excluded from the two days of questioning by Swedish authorities last month, "yet another breach of my basic rights."
"I am now releasing my statement to the public. The reason is simple. I want people to know the truth about how abusive this process has been," Assange wrote.
"Furthermore, in the past the prosecution has fed partial information to tabloids that politically oppose me. It is better that my statement, which I am happy with, and which makes it obvious to all that I am innocent, sees the light in full."
Assange's mother, Christine, told SBS News on Wednesday that her son was innocent.
"I'm angry, I'm sad, I'm grieving, but I'm also fighting," she told SBS News.
"This has been difficult for Julian's family, but we all support him because he's done nothing wrong.
"But he will fight to the last breath."


BERLIN — Making Berlin a more bikeable and walkable community continued this week when Lower Shore Land Trust (LSLT) representative Kate Patton met with the Town Council to brief them on an early concept plan to add trails to the area.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
The concept plan focuses on three efforts: traditional trails around town, a “greenbelt” trail circumventing Berlin, and a trail from Berlin to nearby Assateague Island. Due to the project’s ambition, Patton warned the council that it should think of developments in terms of years.
“This is a long-term process. We’ve looked at models from other communities that unfortunately, and I hate to say it, they often take decades because there can be obstacles,” she explained. “But each piece that you add to it is really something to celebrate and it adds recreational opportunities and maybe some conservational opportunities going along.”
The trail system will be an organic and constantly growing project, said Patton, but individual, short-term additions to the network will still have a measurable impact. With the immediate trails that would be clustered around town, she told the council that the aim is to be practical and safe.
“Potentially trails in and around Berlin which would include safe routes for walking to schools, making it more accessible from residential areas to our parks,” said Patton, “which has been a priority, and also to shopping and amenities throughout town.”
The greenbelt trail would serve to frame Berlin and connect local trails. Patton stressed the importance of interlocking biking and walking paths that would allow town residents to explore Worcester County and the Eastern Shore. Synching trails with other towns and counties should continue to grow easier with more and more people looking to head outdoors.
“There’s a lot going on and this is an opportunity to stay abreast and participate and be moving along at the same speed,” said Patton, “so that as these opportunities to connect Berlin to these other trails happen that we really are poised to do that.”
Likewise, the third project Patton’s group identified, a trail between Berlin and Assateague, would highlight the beach and wildlife. She called the potential trail a “gateway” for outdoors enthusiasts.
All of the projects were brainstormed with extensive community input, according to Patton.
“It has incorporated really what the community interests are, the health benefits, lifestyle, recreation, and conservation,” she said.
Half a dozen “community workshops” were dedicated towards considering a trail system around town. Public comments were frequent, said Patton, and grant funding allowed for the use of a specialist as well.
“With the support of the Maryland Heritage Areas we received grant funding of $11,000 to hire a consultant,” she said.
Numerous suggestions came out of those workshops, including the proposal to couple trail development with Berlin’s ongoing stormwater projects. Conservationism, Patton reminded the council, is a dual goal between both programs. The trails could also be used to promote environmental stewardship and to teach students about wildlife and local fauna, she added.
“Then you could use those as learning opportunities, teaching opportunities and interpretive signs,” Patton said.
After presenting what has been brainstormed so far, Patton reiterated that it is only a “concept plan” and will change to fit the town’s interests. Right now taking advantage of funding from the state and federal level is where LSLT has set its sights. On the town’s end, Patton asked that the council remember the appeal of a functional trail system heading into the spring’s budget session as well as the need to generate community interest. Branding could help with the latter, she suggested.
“Really the first point that we’d like to see happen would be a unifying logo,” said Patton, “something that visually gives it a name and a visual slogan that you would have as a sign.”
Just by adopting the concept plan Berlin would be opening doors for new funding.
“It does, by adopting it, give us the opportunities to secure additional federal and state funding,” Patton said.
A walkable and bikeable Berlin has a lot of potential, according to Mayor Gee Williams who added that he recognized that a functional trail system would take years though immediate improvements are also possible.
“We can start relatively small and get some very visible aspects of the trail started, as you say, a piece here and a piece there,” he said.
An important factor will be finding a way to incorporate trail recommendations into the town’s Comprehensive Plan, the mayor continued.
“We do need to figure out a way that we can incorporate this in the overall town management plan that it has some flexibility but that we can never be choking ourselves off,” said Williams.
The council will have the next two weeks to study the full recommendations and findings Patton presented them. She will return for additional review at their next meeting later this month.

And so it ends. I did not expect at all that the war with the Adversary would escalate so quickly or end before the run of the series, but here we are. We have war heros, super spies, crazy battle scenes, and sacrifices from the last characters we’d expect.
Man that’s a crazy story.
I expect after this we’ll be dealing with the fallout of suddenly disposing the power behind a hundred worlds, which should be quite the story all it’s own. Onward!
Cool scenes (spoilers):
The non-human fables are hilarious. Especially the idea that a talking turtle doesn’t want to go home because they won’t have cable.
Oh Boy Blue. War Hero with a lost love, but when he finds her again, it was all a lie. Finds love again… and when he tells her, she turns him down flat. Ouch.
Cinderella being this bad ass secret agent is hilarious and awesome. Especially with super strength.
It’s funny because they’re basically in a story. Which Jack of Fables, Vol. 1: The (Nearly) Great Escape has really been getting into so far.
Heh. It doesn’t help that she really puts the secret in secret agent.
The Arabian Fables going to war with an airship powered by flying carpets is a wonderful image. It would be interesting to see a spin off series focusing more on them.
That is one of the most epic scenes I’ve seen in a comic book. Granted, I haven’t read that many yet, but still.
Prince Charming was a hero after all. Dang.
And that’s it for now. It’s gutsy to sign Geppetto on as a citizen of Fabletown, but he’s not wrong. Just about all of them have skeletons in their closet. I expect adapting to a more mundane life is going to be … complicated.


Interview with: Paul Greeley, Manager at MediaJobCenter for tvnewscheck.com
“The recruiting landscape within the local broadcast industry has drastically changed over the past three to five years,” according to Ty Carver, founder of Carver Talent, a niche national recruiting firm specializing in the placement of media professionals.
Prior to starting Carver Talent, Carver spent seven years in broadcast recruitment holding titles like “director of talent acquisition” and “senior corporate recruiter” for Gray, Raycom and Scripps.
In a one-on-one interview with Ty Carver, I questioned him about his background, how his service works, why he thinks the recruiting challenges have changed, the impact of consolidation and why he thinks recruiting has gotten harder in recent years.
Greeley: Why did you open up Carver Talent?
Carver: I have about 30 years recruiting experience; the last seven or eight years I have been specific to the local broadcast media industry. I was the first dedicated HR recruiting professional in the history of Raycom, built a strong team behind me and following the acquisition by Grey Television, myself and my entire team was downsized. So I found myself out of work and a lot of contacts at my fingertips and went out and grabbed a couple of people from my old recruiting team and started Carver Talent which is a media specific recruiting firm.
Tell me how your service works.
We specialize in the placement of local broadcast professionals typically at the management level, so corporate executives, general managers, sales management which would be DOS, GSL, LSM, GSM, NSM etc., content news management, assistant news directors, news directors, executive producers and other department head levels in marketing, creative services, and research IT/engineering.
So how does your business work? Most agents, if I am placed somewhere, they get a percentage of my salary. Does your business work like that?
Yeah very similar. But we offer a couple of different business models. One would be as agent search whereas, if a company wants to reach out and basically pay us a retainer up front to go out and find their person and then we do that typically on a percentage against first year’s salary.
A contingency search would be a client would reach out and say, hey I have a need. We would then go out and find candidates and they would pay us only if they hire our candidate.
And then another option that we have what is called recruitment process outsourcing or RPO for short. That is basically they would make our firm an arm of their company. We would basically act like their recruiting firm for either a set number of positions or a specific style within their industry like sales or news, etc.
We also specialize in the placement of account executives within all levels of media be it digital, be it integrated, be it cable, radio, news print, television, etc.
So if I am a general manager and I call you and I say I am looking for an account exec, what do you do after that?
I send that hiring manager or media group a fee agreement, a contract spelling out our fee, spelling out our guarantees, spelling out our process etc.
We have a position call with them where we better understand what they are looking for exactly, years of experience, soft skills, technical skills, etc. Comp range of course, why the position open and then we talk about the process of the recruiting process, how we are going to do an on-site interview etc.
After that position call, IT goes out and starts looking for candidates if we don’t already have candidates in our pipeline immediately available. And we have over twenty thousand passive candidates in our data base at our fingertips. We have a lot of fire power. So we find a candidate, we submit them to the hiring manager. We keep our fingers on the pulse to make sure the candidate is moving through because I very much believe that time kills all deals in recruiting. And then if they hire our person then we charge them a fee.
Do you deal with certain broadcast groups specifically?
Yes, we are already on the approved vendor list for four large local broadcast media groups. (Carver said because of competitive reasons, he was not at liberty to name the companies.)
There has been a lot of consolidation in the business. Do you think that makes it easier or harder for people to get good candidates?
I think it is harder, to be honest. Obviously there are fewer large broadcast media groups now and it seems with many of these groups non-competes in contracts are fairly prevalent and the less groups and the more non-competes in place, the harder it is to move around, if you will. So we are seeing that it is a little bit harder with numerous mergers and acquisitions today.
Some of the larger broadcast media groups now are considering or have already done this, but they are not only putting non-competes in place for their specific market where they are located today, but also wherever they do business or wherever they have a station. So it could be across several markets.
Do you find that people are less likely to move than they might have been 10 or 20 years ago?
We are seeing that as a challenge today. What we are seeing with many millennial candidates today is that they are not willing to play the traditional local broadcast game, where you move down a market size to go up a position and then work your way back up to a larger market down the road. A lot of millennial candidates today are very particular about what market/city they will live in. They want the nice restaurants, the pro sports, the arts community, they want it all and they don’t want to go to a small market to gain that experience to one day get back to that larger market. So we are seeing that as a challenge today as well.
The small markets, do they have a disadvantage in recruiting compared to larger markets in your opinion? And how important is the attractiveness of the market?
Sometimes, yes, in that the compensation is at times going to be lower of course in the smaller markets. But the positive is, you could gain the experience, for somebody who is a local sales manager and they want their general sales manager stripe. They do have that opportunity to go to that smaller market and gain that. But we are seeing that the willingness to spend two to three years in a smaller market to gain that experience, we are seeing that harder and harder to come by today.
How much is pay important when people talk to you?
I see the market and the city and the things to do there as almost equally important.

If you like fixed-barrel rifles, then the Hatsan Torpedo 105X might be the right airgun for you. Plus, the synthetic stock won't be sensitive to rough use while you're hunting. This is a powerful rifle, and Hatsan's unique Quattro trigger will make it easy to fine-tune it to your needs.
Ideal in any caliber for dispatching small, pesky rodents at short distances. Also fun for plinking, shooting spinners and popping paper targets.

Things I liked: NOTHING
Things I would have changed: do away with the brass button it quit releasing after about 30 shots, tied 2 levers down inside groove on bottom of stock so we could keep shooting. do away with the button, it quit releasing after about 30 shots, had to tie 2 levers down in slot on bottom of stock to keep shooting. accuracy was terrible best group at 20 yds 2.5 in worst group at 20 yds 4 in. this is pathetic. these groups were shot after breakin and we confirmed no dieseling by shooting 20 shots over chronograph. and a message to all you arm chair experts who will think it was my technique, I hv been shooting off bench for at least 35 yrs, c.f. and r.f., and I know lots of hold techniques. I tried everything I could think of including loose artillery hold and nothing helped. this rifle was returned to Pyramid Air and I bought a Talon SS in 22. I know it is not fair to compare and piston gun to a pcp but so far I love the Talon. I will post a review after I hv done more testing
What others should know: I have a Gamo Accu in 177 that is accurate, trigger is acceptable and I have had no problems with it. It may be a little slower but at least you can hit what you're shooting at. if you want a underlever in this price range seriously consider the Gamo over the Hatsan. I purchased my Gamo at Pyramid Air.
Things I liked: Power with accuracy as expected. I also have a hatsan 125 vortex in .22. This rifle also in .22. Comparatively they're pretty close with a 10 dollar difference in between the models I have, only the power plant and barrel systems being different. Doing some research hatsan has either 5 or 6 variants of the vortex powerplants. This particular configuration they've underrated greatly. I don't have a chrony but shooting lighter pellets they make that low whistle sound my 125 does, breaking in that mid 850's low 900 fps range. Impressive since it's rated 800fps. Though my 125 hits a little harder. The stock doesn't have the ambi cheek rest, the nice adjustable buttpad or the extra bit of checkering , I gain swivel studs and a innovative bolt/free floating styles barrel design that works well. Optimum compromise between the two rifles in price.my 125 dropped a big 35 pound male coon with ease and this one has the ability to drop the other two smaller ones and I intend on it.
Things I would have changed: The retaining pin that holds the cocking arm in place sometimes unhindges from the recoil this rifle produces, maybe put a extra coil or two on the spring to tighten up the small amount of play maybe? And a ambidextrous stock!! I'm a south paw and I knew it was righty when buying it BUT it's be nice to have it across all your product line. Though I get by just fine so don't be discouraged about it you Lefties. The hindge pin unlatching is why I have 4 stars on the overall rating.
What others should know: For other hatsan owners out there I found the trigger on my particular rifle way, way lighter than the one on my 125. Whether hatsan made it as so or I got lucky with a good one I figured it's worth mentioning. I'd say my trigger is easily two pounds while the other rifles is as advertised 3 pounds. Don't let the free floating barrel design discourage you as it securely bolts shut. In my own stupidity I set the rifle in a way where it slid off the wall and landed bolt first on my concrete floor. My rifle merely laughed and hasn't been hurt what so ever that and a accidental dry fire all have been shrugged off. Very well built. The design also allows you to have a pellet loaded and ready to go without cocking the rifle for you hunters. No more pellet fumbling, cock and shoot. It LOVES H&N ammo. No surprise since I learned hatsan now distributes it. Didn't like any jsb ammo EXCEPT the monsters which have a 2 inch higher poi over any other pellet at 20 yards which I found very odd.
Things I liked: Under lever cocking, weaver type rail
Things I would have changed: Weight, and length, both the stock length, and barrel length. This is a heavy gun, reminds me of what they used to call a wall gun, you didnt carry it, you shot it from a mount on the wall! Lol. It would be better in a carbine size I think
What others should know: Unless you shoot from a bench, this probably is not the rifle you want. Way too heavy, and long to carry in the field For most people, unless you want a gun, club, combo

What's the cocking force please?
Not listed i would imagine 35 to 40 pounds at least?
Is this vortex or spring piston?

This is [fascinating]:
> People use imprecise words to describe the chance of events all the time — “It’s likely to rain,” or “There’s a real possibility they’ll launch before us,” or “It’s doubtful the nurses will strike.” Not only are such probabilistic terms subjective, but they also can have widely different interpretations. One person’s “pretty likely” is another’s “far from certain.” Our research shows just how broad these gaps in understanding can be and the types of problems that can flow from these differences in interpretation.
For example, below are probability distributions for some common phrases:
