Published by: Ultra Pro Entertainment
# of Players: 2 to 4
Ultra Pro Entertainment has acquired the Ascension series and with that brings up questions. Ascension has changed over the years in terms of art and card quality. I am happy to say that the card quality is very good in Gift of Elements. The art in Gift of Elements is some of the most detailed and eye catching in the series. Though some cards are very dark. The rule book is very detailed with huge illustrations that explain everything in great detail. I like how the rule book has a part that explains the parts that are new to the game for those who are experts in the series. This made reading the rules much more enjoyable because I did not have to try and find each new item in the rules. The box is the standard rectangle ascension box and has a plastic insert that works great for everything. There is also a board for the central play area. If there was no need for a board, this game could fit into a significantly smaller box. Overall the component quality has either stayed the same or slightly improved from previous versions.
Due to this being the 11th game in the series, I will not be going over basic game play, but wanted to focus on what is new. The biggest addition is 2 new keywords added to the cards. One is used with cards you purchase and the other is used on monsters you defeat. The "Empower" keyword allows players to banish a card that they have played that turn anytime they have acquired a card with the empower keyword. This is a great way to quickly get rid of the weaker cards in your deck and improving your deck at the same time. I love that you are able to use the card before banishing it unlike prior games in the series. The other new keyword is "Infest". Defeated monsters with the word infest will be placed in an opponent's deck instead of the void. The card clogs up their deck and is only useful if they have certain cards that take advantage of having infest cards in their deck. Returning from previous entries in the series is Events. This time the events are transforming. When an event is revealed from the main deck, it is not placed in the central buying row, but instead placed next to the main deck. The event will have a passive ability that affects everyone while the event is in play. Players can spend runes (money) to transform the event into a hero and place it in their discard pile. These heroes are very powerful and provide a good amount of experience points. Besides these 3 mechanics, Gift of the Elements plays like the other Ascension games in the series.
Gift of the Elements is a nice addition to the Ascension series and can be easily mixed with the early entries in the series. The 2 new keywords play well off each other and help pick up the pace of game. I really like how infest can be used to try and stop that person who has efficiently cleaned up their deck. I see it helping with a possible runaway winner. Also a big fan of being able to use a card and then banish it after acquiring a card with empower. The keyword loses some of it's power late in the game, but early game and getting rid of infest monsters is a great tool. The art in my opinion is some of the best in the series even though some are very dark and tough to make out. Transforming events are nice, but also add to the randomness in the game. In terms of feeling different than other entries in the series, I feel Gift of the Elements doesn't stand out as different. Rather I find it more of a complementary addition to the series that could mix well with the early games in the series. Others such as War of Shadows and Rise of Vigil have had more drastic changes and their own feel in the series. I would recommend Gift of Elements to anyone who is a fan of the Ascension series or deck building games. The only one who I would not recommend this to is someone who wants drastic changes in the series. I will be adding this to my Ascension collection and look forward to trying to combine it with other entries to find new and weird combos.
+New keywords work well together providing a smooth experience
+Art is some of the best in the series
+Will mix well with other early entries in the series
-Transforming Events add more randomness to the game
-No drastic changes to set it apart from other entries
-Lots of extra space in the box

Book of the Month
Book: Six Years
Author: Harlan Coben
May's Smooth Radio Book of the Month is Harlan Coben's Six Years.
Harlan Coben returns with a stand-alone thriller that explores the depth and passion of a lost love - and the secrets and lies at its heart.
Six years have passed since Jake Fisher watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd.
But six years haven’t come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd’s obituary, he can’t keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd’s wife he’s hoping for… but she is not Natalie. Whoever the mourning widow is, she’s been married to Todd for more than a decade, and with that fact everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his life - a time he has never gotten over - is turned completely inside out.
As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple either can’t be found or don’t remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in years. Jake’s search for the woman who broke his heart - and who lied to him - soon puts his very life at risk as it dawns on him that the man he has become may be based on carefully constructed fiction.

Check out any directory via its “VIEW IT” link and sign up via its “JOIN IT” link – all for free! And please share with every musician you know!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Who are these directories for?
These are for 1) a musician who needs to find a sub for a gig, 2) anyone who wants to look up the contact info for a particular musician, 3) a contractor, bandleader, booking agent, club owner, or a father of the bride looking to hire musicians, 4) a musician booking a regional or national tour who needs to hire capable band members in each community, 5) a music teacher trying to attract local or online students, or 6) a student looking for local or online lessons.
2. How big is this project – how many musicians altogether, and where are they from?
There are currently over 2100 musicians in the directories, from six continents. (I’m still trying to tap into the Antarctica music scene. 🙂 ) You’ll notice a disproportionate number of Seattle musicians in each directory. That’s only because I live in Seattle and began by reaching out to those in my community. But there are now hundreds of musicians from New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, as well as Canada, Argentina, Australia, Europe, and Asia. The project launched in October 2018 and very quickly went global.
3. Are there any musicians in here who I might recognize?
There’s a very good chance that some of your local colleagues are in here. Just scroll down to your metropolitan area in any directory and take a look. If you’re asking whether there are any musicians in here with national or international visibility, here are a few:
Vocalists: Jay Clayton, Dena DeRose, Denise Donatelli, Madeline Eastman, Hilary Gardner, Niki Haris, Sheila Jordan, Nancy Kelly, Johnaye Kendrick,Rebecca Kilgore, Kathy Kosins, Kitty Margolis, Greta Matassa, Stephanie Nakasian, Jackie Ryan, Cathy Segal-Garcia, Kendra Shank, Tierney Sutton, Roseanna Vitro, Judy Wexler
Keyboardists: Pat Bianchi, George Cables, George Colligan, Marilyn Crispell, Taylor Eigsti, Benny Green, Christian Jacob, Justin Kauflin, Bill Mays, Luis Perdomo, Roberta Piket, Otmaro Ruiz, Matthew Shipp. Michael Wofford
Guitarists: Bruce Forman, Mimi Fox, Jack Wilkins, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Steve Cardenas
Bassists: Ben Wolfe, Dave Friesen, Harvie S, Michael Bisio, Lynn Seaton
Drummers/Percussionists: Ari Hoenig, Bobby Sanabria, Ignacio Berroa, Todd Strait
Wind players: Bobby Shew, Jiggs Wigham, Pete Christlieb, Kim Richmond, Gary Smulyan, Terell Stafford, Holly Hofmann, Bob Mintzer, John Fedchock, Ray Vega, Clay Jenkins, Michael Rabinowitz
4. You emailed me to invite me to sign up. Just curious: how did you hear of me?
Either you’re as well-known as the above musicians, or someone recommended you, or I came across your website and decided to reach out to you. Frankly, I’m exploring every angle I can to expand the roster!
5. Have you vetted these musicians? How will I know whether or not they’re any good?
Well…yes and no. If I personally invited you to join a directory, it was either because I was already familiar with your music or after I listened to a sound file or two and determined that you’re serious about your music. But if you heard about the directories through the grapevine and signed up uninvited, I’m truly happy that you did, and welcome! Even if I had time to “audition” each and every musician, I wouldn’t want to. Think of these directories as modern-day phone books: anyone and everyone is in there – perhaps some musicians of questionable ability, but also an impressive array of the world’s finest, as you can see from the list in answer #3 above.
So how can you tell if the more “local” musicians are any good? That’s simple: visit their websites and read their resumes, listen to their sound files, check their endorsements, etc. If someone doesn’t have a website – well, that might indicate that he or she may not be the first one to call.
6. What must I pay to join?
These directories are and will always be free to join and free to use. At some point, I may solicit advertisers to help pay for my time and effort in maintaining the directories, but even then there will be no charge to the musicians.
7.Can I join more than one directory?
As many as you like. If you sing, play both piano and alto saxophone, write your own music and teach, there’s five directories right there that you’d be eligible to join.
8. Oops! I need to edit some of the info I just submitted. How can I do that?
9. Is there a search function?
Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Again, it’s in the works. The good news is that there are separate directories for each instrument and that musicians are alphabetized by last name and grouped by cities, which are also alphabetized. So looking up Tallahassee musician Pete Saxophone is pretty easy: just go to the Wind Player directory, then scroll down to the Tallahassee section: you’ll find him sandwiched between Tom Sanders and Fred Taylor. But I get it – it would be nice to do a specific search for, say, Australian tenor saxophone players. Not happening yet, but soon I hope!
10. I just submitted the form and then checked the directory, but my submission looks weird: the font is too big, the background colors are wrong, and I’m not alphabetized correctly. What gives?
You did nothing wrong. Google sends your info from the form to the spreadsheet unformatted, so I’ll take care of that, probably later the same day.
11. I noticed that while it’s optional to include my phone number, the email address is a required field – why? I’d like to join but am afraid that the spambots will be on me before I know it. Is there a way I can join without including my email address?
12. I just got some spam and I think it was because I’m on the directory. What can I do?


When I run a module I have open in an editor (Ctrl+F11), it brings up the 'Run As' dialog. This is expected on first run, so I select 'Python Run' for instance. But when I go to run the same module again immediately after, it brings up the 'Run As' dialog again. Shouldn't PyDev act like the Eclipse Java editor and remember the last run configuration? I'm not sure if this is a bug or if this is expected behaviour.
A workaround to this is to enable "Always launch the previously launched application" under Preferences > Run/Debug > Launching but is quite annoying; when switching between modules in the editor, PyDev will not launch the active editor. Any ideas? I'm using Eclipse 3.3.2 and PyDev 1.3.14.
Pydev can launch the current editor with F9 (python) or Ctrl+F9 (jython)... So, leave the "Always launch the previously launched application" enabled and use those shortcuts to launch the current editor.
F9 works, but is there also a key available to run as python unit-test?
Not really... usually what I do is that the test module has as its main:
if __name__ == '__main__':
....#import sys;sys.argv = ['', 'Test.testXXX']
That way I can run it as a regular run and it'll run the tests, and it also helps in choosing a single test to run when uncommenting the line that changes argv... (I put that in my default template for tests).

Te Hiringa i te Mahara
New Zealand has a long and rich tradition of poetry dating back to the pre-European oral histories of
Maori. James K. Baxter, perhaps our greatest wordsmith, left a legacy that continues to enrich our
literature as do the writings of living treasures such as Hone Tuwhare. The most notable addition to our
cultural vernacular must be Glenn Colquhoun and his musings on what it is to be a New Zealander. (Worth
a thought given the current climate)
Too often as teachers we tend to put poetry at the back of our programmes and yet it is an easy way to
introduce students to a wide range of literary and language features. It is also an easy non-threatening way
to encourage students to write creatively. ‘The Ballad of Footrot Flats’ by Murray Ball (See Year 10 Unit)
contains every figure of speech that juniors need to know including hyperbole, (Is it really possible that
horse the cat can send off a hardened fighting pig dog while in the middle of a romantic liaison?!).
Hone Tuwhare’s ‘No Ordinary Sun’, a New Zealand Classic every student should know, is a textbook for
theme and imagery. For Satirical verse read Witi Ihimaera’s ‘Dinner with a Cannibal’ or Allen Curnow’s
‘On the Tour’.
If you are interested in the female perspective examine Roma Potiki’s ‘A Chant for 19 women murdered’
or Momoe Von Reiche’s ‘Macho Games’.
Any of the poems in ‘White Feather. Poetry and Peace, An Anthology’ by Hazard Press, would serve the
thematic study of war as well if not better than, Wilfred Owen and Co.
It is hoped that the three units in this resource will encourage teachers to attempt poetry as a fun and
interesting way of teaching a variety of literary skills to students. As with anything that the class may not
be too keen on, enthusiasm and preparation is the key. Gather together a range of poetic texts, access
poetry online, check out magazines and newspapers, create a poetry wall and an environment that is
conducive to the sharing of their work with others for the students. Simple techniques such as ensuring the
class listens respectively and responds appropriately when someone is reading their work aloud.
Encourage them to question and discuss the topics of poems especially at senior level. Encourage them
also to enjoy reading and writing poetry. Poetry can lead to a wide and varied range of extension projects.
Investigate where these poems can take you and the class and follow them.
The poems used in this resource are a drop in the bucket. Your department will have texts you can use but
it is worthwhile searching further a field. Check out your local library; your own library, the best
bookstore in town, bail up colleagues and find out what they use and get on-line. If your department
subscribes to the Writers in Schools Programme, book ahead if there are any poets touring or better still, if
you have access to any poets – get them in to do a writing workshop with your class.
The most important thing is to generate interest and enthusiasm amongst your students and encourage them
to see poetry as an exciting and relevant genre in the overall study of English.
Unfortunately due to copyright limitations we could not include with the Year 9 and 10 units copies of the
poems the units are based on. They can however, be easily accessed from a range of poetry anthologies or
through your school or public library.
Have fun with these poetry units.

The last budget crafted by former Gov. Lincoln Chafee’s administration and the General Assembly seems to be holding up fairly well, according to the latest revenue assessment by the Rhode Island Department of Revenue.
The official state bean-counters say that adjusted total general revenues are up about $61 million more than expected in the current budget year, which ends on June 30. This is good news for a state that has been slowly emerging from the recession.
The 2.6 percent increase in revenues is fueled by increases in the personal income tax and the corporate tax.
Gov. Gina Raimondo is establishing a "RI Pay Equity Tip Line" so that Rhode Islanders can report employers who violate the state law that bans gender-based wage discrimination.
The tip line, at 401-462-9243, is run by the state Department of Labor and Training. DLT is the agency that enforces labor laws and investigates wage complaints and hiring discrimination.
"In Rhode Island we want to make sure work pays," said Raimondo in a news release. "Ensuring paycheck fairness is important for women, it creates opportunities for families, and it strengthens the economy."
So here’s another report that shows just how badly the General Assembly has fumbled the 38 Studios ball. Gov. Lincoln Chafee has released a financial consultant’s report that shows that it would cost less for the state to pay off the 38 Studios bonds than to default.
The finding, by the firm SJ Advisors, states that Rhode Island’s credit rating would take a significant hit if the state walked away from the $75 million in bond obligations to those who invested retired Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling’s folly, 38 Studios.

Mary Margaret Dreyer Spoerle
83, lifelong resident of Indianapolis, passed away on January 4, 2013. Mary was born on February 28, 1929 and was the daughter of the late, famed motorcycle and racecar builder, Floyd H. "Pop" Dreyer and Mary B. Holstein.
Mary was a leader, politician, antiques dealer, entrepreneur, and a fabulous wife and mother. Mary began her career as a foundry worker for Chrysler Motor Car Company and rose quickly to become one of the first women representatives, working with Walter Ruther, for Women Labor relations with the United Auto Workers (UAW). One of her most important speeches was when she spoke in front of the International Labor Forces at the United Nations. She started the philanthropic organization for Riley Hospital which is now known as the Riley Foundation. As a representative for the UAW, she also worked tirelessly on the presidential campaign to elect John F. Kennedy. Mary was a proud member of the "Million Miler Club," traveling all over the country, while working for the UAW. Mary ran for City County Council and was elected as the FIRST City Council Woman in Indianapolis. She served 3 terms. Mary helped build the first airport in Indianapolis, named Weir Cook Airport. Today, there is a plaque at the Indianapolis International Airport that has her name, along with others, who served on the specific council. She loved Indianapolis, and is proud in assisting in making it what it is today.
Mary met, and fell in love with, her husband of 53 years, Wilhelm T. (Bill) Spoerle. They have 3 children who loved her very much, Christina (Duane) Martin of Brownsburg, Anna Cook of Zionsville, and Kurt (Vickie) Spoerle of Carmel. Mary was an avid antiques collector and founded AK&M Antiques. She was an antiques dealer for 48 years. She was also a member and past president of the American Antiques Dealer Association. Ever looking for a great venture, Mary started AK&M Properties which established the first craft mall in Indiana, called Cedar Street Craft Mall in Zionsville, IN. She then opened another on her beloved westside called Avon Craft Mall. Mary was of Cherokee Indian decent and her biggest passion was collecting Native American artifacts, travelling all over the southwest to enhance her collection. Mary always had a zest for living and was blessed to be able to travel all over the United States and Europe with Bill fulfilling their mutual love for antique automobiles.
Mary will be deeply missed not only by her husband, and 3 children, but also by her 6 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren.

National Universities Commission (NUC), Nigeria, says the reform in the university system would focus on the development of a dynamic and robust infrastructure to support Information and Communication Technology (ICT).< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The commission said ICT was the weakest link in the system. NUC said that some universities like Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), University of Lagos (UNILAG) and University of Jos (Unijos) which had advanced ICT facilities, were well ahead of other universities. The focus would be on the development of a clean and updated web site for each university because ICT has a role in statistical generation, NUC said. It said the university website, edu.ng, needed firewall and anti-virus protection, adding that this would be pursued vigorously. ICT development was crucial for e-Learning because it would assist lecturers in teaching and students in learning through Internet, NUC stressed. The commission also said reform would focus on accountability and good governance as well as over-all quality control of programmes at undergraduate and post-graduate levels.

Hops, Kumquat, Mango, Mint, Parsley, Pepper, Lavender, Basil, Orchids
Anti-inflammatory, Anti-fungal, Antiviral, Antiseptic, Decongestant
Major terpene found in these cannabis strains:
Green Crack, Golden Goat, Strawberry Cough, Dutch Treat, Chernobyl, OG Kush, Durban Poison, Space Queen, Lemon Sour Diesel,
Ocimene is a monoterpene with a fruity, floral, herbacious and some even say wet cloth smell. Ocimene has exhibited anti-inflammatory effects in white blood cell through a variety of pathways. Antifungal effects are also seen with the human specific Candida species. And very interestingly Ocimene showed specificity and effectiveness against SARS virus.
Ocimene is an isomeric hydrocarbon found in a wide variety of fruits and plants. It’s sweet, fragrant, herbaceous, and woodsy aromas, which features prominently in many perfumes, and helps plants defend themselves in their natural environment. Ocimene occurs naturally in botanicals as diverse as mint, parsley, pepper, basil, mangoes, orchids, kumquats, and of course cannabis. The name is derived from the plant genus name Ocimum, from the Ancient Greek word for Basil.
Ocimene's effect and benefits
Just as different cannabinoids have different effects, so do terpenes. These unique attributes contribute to the overall composition of a strain, adding a dimension to each one’s “personality.” Some of Ocimene’s known effects and benefits include:
Melting point: 122°F/50°C
Boiling point: 212°F/100°C
Medicine Box: Terpene Spotlight: Ocimene
Apothecarium: Terpenes: The Essentials - Ocimene
Royal Queen Seeds: Cannabis Terpenes: Ocimene and Guaiol
As with all areas of study on the medical qualities of cannabis, more research needs to be conducted to better understand the interactions Terpenes create, like Ocimene, within the human body. Human trials might be in short supply, but the fact that Ocimene does not appear on Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (unlike THC, CBD, and cannabis as a whole), means it is easy to obtain and legal to use in a variety studies. Therefore, researchers have been more free to focus on its potential efficacy as an anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and degongestant agent.
An Italian study in 2008 found that one essential oil compound from a Lebanon plant specie L. nobilis produced an "interesting activity" on SARS and HSV, which most likely means it slowed the growth or hindered the viruses ability to be cause damage.
In Iran 2015, the Ferulago carduchorum plant was studied for it's ability to keep milk and ghee from spoiling as well as produced a pleasant taste for locals. It was found to be high in Ocimene (43.3% of total essential oils). This F. carduchorum essential oil was found to be an antimicrobial agent.
A 2018 study done in Thailand showed eugenol and B-Ocimene are effective mosquito deterrents, specifically to stop them from laying eggs. In bead form inside water, the effects lasted for up to 27 days.
Another 2018 study in South Africa concluded that Ocimene could be an alternative to anti-bacterial drugs in an age of antibiotic resistant viruses, as well as already being a good fungicide and antioxidant.

What a great little throw over this is. It all started when the Christmas Shopping began and I didn't know what to get for my one and only lovely Auntie. Feeling totally uninspired by the shops (I am the worlds worst shopper) I started thinking that a personal gift made by myself would be rather nice. I am not keen on making clothes for other people, often due to fit issues (taking the pleasure out of sewing) but also, as I have found in the past, you make something for one person, it starts to escalate and where do you draw the line at saying No? Has anyone else ever had this issue or are you happy to oblige?
This is Auntie's Poncho
Inspired by the poncho made by Meg from McCalls and rather chuft at how Auntie's turned out, I decided to make one for myself.
And so this one is mine!
I made View E again and following the tip from Meg I found the centre points in the front and back and cut diagonally across from there to the end of the shoulder seams (making a triangle).
I finished the edges by stretching the fabric as I overlocked (serged to my american friends!) it to create a lettuce (wavy) effect. Although this is a jersey knit fabric, it doesn't have a huge amount of stretch so it's not as wavy as I'd like, but hey, it works! And I likes it! No idea where the fabric came from exactly; it was a reduced remnant piece from eBay quite some time ago. It was meant for a dress but it turned into a poncho instead! I love its subtle colour mixes of blue, brown and white. Fabric for Auntie's Poncho came from Minerva Crafts

Military Matters – Poetry Review
This is just one of Tom Benson’s many books that I have a reviewed and each time I have I have been thoroughly impressed, though for very different reasons in this case. Tom Benson, he is a prolific writer whose works include a number of novels, short stories, flash fiction, and several poetry anthologies. For further information on Tom Benson, please see his blog at:
Poetry to break the heart and lift the spirits in equal measure…
Military Matters, by Tom Benson (available as an e-book on Amazon Kindle)
This is a substantial anthology of poetry by author Tom Benson. The poems themselves follow a broadly traditional style and format, covering the life and times of the British soldier during times of modern warfare and terrorism. Set amidst the backdrop of Northern Ireland, the Middle East, and Afghanistan, every poem tells a story, each one unique in its own way. The subject matter covers everything from frontline battle operations to the pride and dedication of those who serve, saddening tales of heroism, love, and its loss, and of loyalty and courage. You’ll not find the glorification of death and war as epitomised by Brooke or indeed the flowing prose of Owen in his vivid accounts of its horror. What the reader will find here are the hard, often tragic and brutal, but always true and honest observations of a man whose marched and trudged in the very same boots and in the same wars as the men and events he portrays in his poems. In comparison to these past writers, I would say Military Matters bears more relation to Owen than to Brooke, perhaps on account of, Like Owen, Tom Benson did indeed live and experience the things he writes about, whereas Brooke’s sonnets were borne more from the hopeful idealism with which Britain entered the first world war.
Tom Benson neither glorifies nor condemns, but with acute poignancy relates the thoughts, feelings, and accounts of a soldier’s life and the job he does. Whilst the author assures the reader that people and events in the poems are largely fictitious, there can be no doubt amongst the lines and verses there are real memories and experiences upon which some of them are based. I doubt if any serving or ex-serviceman or woman could help but be moved, and pause for thought whilst reading through this anthology. Military Matters also presents a unique and heartfelt glimpse to the non-military reader of a different world and one that helps protect and maintain the peaceful one in which we all hope to live and enjoy our lives.
Those readers who have read and enjoyed the works of Wilfred Owen and Rupert Brooke might well appreciate these up-dated, modern-day accounts of war and the military and how they compare.

Beyond The Law – Book Review
This is one hell of a good book by fellow blogger, Tom Benson, whose own blog, http://www.tombensoncreative.wordpress.com, features high in my list of ‘follows.’
Tom is a prolific writer of short stories, flash fiction, novels, and a number of poetry books. In addition to being a great writer and author, he also takes the time to offer advice and support to fellow writers and bloggers.
As well as reading this excellent novel, take a look at his blog, as there are some equally excellent short and flash fiction stories to enjoy too…
Beyond The Law, by Tom Benson
(Available from Amazon in Kindle e-book format)
A ‘can’t put down’ book that definitely hits the ground running. In an explosive opening chapter reminiscent of Andy McNab, we’re introduced to the central character, Phil McKenzie, and some of the background to his special skills and training. What follows is an equally explosive story of unofficial state-sanctioned vigilantism as he and his cohorts set about tackling the tough and violent criminal under-belly of a crime ridden Glasgow. But this is no simple story of good guys hunting down the bad; set against the murky backdrop of the military and British intelligence, Phil McKenzie and a select team of operatives are up against a criminal alliance that spans not only that of organised crime but also high ranking politicians and police officers. The book takes a number of different and dangerous turns, culminating in one hell of a conclusion.
Some of the characters have definite echoes of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher. The dialogue throughout is both fluid and natural, as is the writing and realistic portrayal of a world and characters that thankfully, most never get to see outside the pages of a book. The author’s attention to detail and plot-line are approached with the same deadly precision as that of a covert military operation.
This is a book that effortlessly combines the genres of military adventure with that of crime and justice, and one that would sit well in the company of Lee Child, Andy McNab, and Tom Clancy. Should Tom Benson ever decide to write a sequel, it will certainly leapfrog to the front of my ‘to read’ list. Highly recommended…

Jacobean (Blue) – Hand-printed Wallpaper
Jacobean (Blue) – Hand-printed Wallpaper
Dimensions: 53cm(w) by 31cm(h)
This pattern has a strong architectural influence and is In ‘Robert Adam’ style. It dates from the very end of the 18th century, and was popular again in the late 19th century when there was a resurgence of interest in this style. It is available in four different colours as standard.
Printed using fade-resistant inks on an archival quality paper with exceptional smoothness and a slightly off-white tone which does not look out of place in historical miniature settings.
Miniature Hand-printed Wallpaper © At Home with Mrs Hogarth Limited

Add To Cart
Quantity : The listing is for 1 sheet of miniature wallpaper.
Further Dimension Information : One of the photographs contrasts the paper with a metal rule so that the size of the pattern can be appreciated, and the size (shown in both centimetres and inches) is also clearly shown on a further ‘greyscale’ image. Please pay particular attention to the ‘repeat’ dimensions as this may influence the quantities that you require.
Scale : This miniature is in 1/12th or one inch scale.
Colour Variation : The photographs were captured in natural daylight. However there may be slight variations between the photographs and the paper that are beyond our control due to the representation of colours on your screen or monitor. Whilst every effort is taken to match inks used from batch to batch, it is advisable that you ensure that you have ordered all the papers you require for particular project so they match exactly.
Provenance : The paper has been hand-printed, one colour at a time, by AHWMH.
Packaging : The wallpaper will be carefully wrapped in acid-free tissue paper and despatched in a strong cardboard tube.
Additional Notes : Please note that no other items featured in the photography are provided – these are featured purely to provide context and inspiration. We would ask that you read our ‘Terms & Conditions of Sale’ and ‘Shipping’ and ‘Returns’ policies carefully before placing your order.
Method of Application for Hand-printed Wallpapers :
Your new Wallpaper will arrive rolled up. Be patient with it uncurling, and try not to force it flat initially: take it a step at a time.
The surface receiving the Wallpaper should be clean and dry, and if glossy the surface should be lightly roughened with sandpaper.
If the wall is new wood or board, previously untreated, then it is advisable to paint it with a coat of the paste you are using before allowing it to dry completely – this is to seal the wall, which would otherwise immediately absorb the paste from the Wallpaper, and the paper would then fall off!
The ceiling should be painted or papered in advance, and it is preferable to remove windows and door fittings. Dado and skirting should ideally be fitted retrospectively also.
You may find it useful to prepare a template using scrap paper prior to cutting the Wallpaper.
Use either sharp scissors or a very sharp craft knife with a new blade and a steel rule to cut the paper, and avoid 'dragging' the fibres of the paper. Exert a slightly lighter touch if this happens.
Wallpaper can be fixed to walls using a water-based wallpaper paste – which should be extremely thick – or alternatively a wheat-based paste (of the type used by bookbinders and archivists) is suitable, as is ‘YES’ glue. The paste can be applied to the reverse of the paper. Take care to ensure that the paper doesn't ‘curl in’ on itself. Paste can also be applied directly to the wall. Ensure that the spread of the paste is even and without lumps, and is ‘tacky’ rather than ‘wet’. Apply the paper and press carefully into position using a lint-free cloth or small roller or brush.
Be careful to ensure that no paste is transferred to the front of the paper as this may cause damage.
Be patient, and be 100% certain that your first piece has definitely stuck before moving onto the second wall.
It is recommend that you use a small scrap of the Wallpaper and your proposed adhesive in a ‘trial run’ before you commence the main fixing.
Please note that the Wallpaper should not be varnished or glazed.

In the year 2019, “media” covers a broad spectrum of platforms, companies, and individual influencers. From viral content to streaming video to traditional TV broadcasts to digital and print journalism, media affects our society on a regular and inescapable basis, and the leaders of this industry have considerable power over the way we as readers and viewers experience news, art, and culture.
While the #MeToo movement shed a harsh and much-needed light on the abuses perpetrated by male media moguls, we’re happy to report that the industry also features multiple high-powered female-identifying leaders, all working tirelessly to grow their brands, bolster their market capital, and make their messages heard to audiences worldwide. We’ve rounded up 5 powerful female media tycoons, all of whom are making major moves to influence informational and artistic dialogues around the world.
In no particular order:
A regular fixture on Forbes’ Most Powerful Women lists, media impresario (and potential 2020 candidate?) Oprah Winfrey continues her reign as an undisputed queen of TV, publishing, and film. After shuttering her landmark program “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 2011, Winfrey swiveled her focus onto her OWN TV network and O, The Oprah Magazine. Both properties became significant successes among Winfrey’s fanbase and allowed her to continue the autonomous career she launched when producing “The Oprah Winfrey Show” through her own production company. In addition to her network and magazine, Oprah takes time to guest star in films like “A Wrinkle In Time,” to actively involve herself in politics (estimates indicate that she generated upwards of 1 million votes for Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic primaries), and to lend her voice and image to product-promotion deals (like her massively-lucrative Weight Watchers endorsement and investment). According to Time, Oprah’s net worth hovers near $3 billion, making her one of the wealthiest self-made women in the United States.
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour boasts a reach extending far beyond fashion’s inner circles. After a long career in fashion journalism in her native United Kingdom, Wintour took the reins at Vogue in 1988 and has since gained legendary status as a tastemaker with an infallible eye for fashion trends and up-and-coming designers and models. In 2013, she became the artistic and editorial director of Condé Nast, giving her a say in the content appearing in all publications under the Condé Nast umbrella. Her trailblazing career and sustained influence landed her atop Forbes’ Most Powerful Women in Media list in 2017 and also nabbed her fictional immortality as the inspiration for “The Devil Wears Prada”’s iconic Miranda Priestly, played in the film to Oscar-nominated effect by Meryl Streep.
The daughter of broadcasting magnate Sumner Redstone, CBS and Viacom vice-chairwoman Shari Redstone began her media and business careers under high expectations based on her family’s long track record of success in the field. After rising to the highest leadership position at CBS parent company National Amusements, Redstone played an instrumental role in the #MeToo-related ousting of CBS CEO Les Moonves. Because Moonves represented a key oppositional voice to Redstone’s big-picture plans for CBS, his departure now clears the way for her to advance her desired merger of CBS and Viacom, a massive move that, if successful, will impact the media industry for decades to come.
Shonda Rhimes may have started her media trajectory as an unemployed Dartmouth graduate seeking a job as a screenwriter, but she’s since ascended to unprecedented heights as one of Hollywood’s most powerful (and highly-paid) showrunners and the head of her own successful production company. Rhimes’ Shondaland company oversees the production of hit series like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “How To Get Away With Murder,” and she recently inked a multi-year development deal with Netflix, giving the streaming platform exclusive rights to future Shondaland series. With a net worth of $135 million, Rhimes holds the position of the wealthiest female showrunner in the United States.
As streaming video becomes an increasingly significant facet of the media industry, platforms dedicated to that medium grow in prominence, with viewerships and user numbers that regularly eclipse those of traditional TV networks. One prime example can be found in YouTube, the user-video-sharing company with approximately 2 billion monthly users and a valuation of $90 billion. At the helm of this crucial media company is Susan Wojcicki, a former Google employee who encouraged Google’s parent company Alphabet to acquire YouTube and who has used her leadership role at the site to morph the platform from a mere sharing device to a TV network in its own right, with a line-up that includes broadcasts from ABC, CBS, NBC, and other prominent networks.
While women have played roles in media for centuries, the first major publication geared toward a female readership launched in 1693 with the London-based The Ladies’ Mercury. Although The Ladies’ Mercury ran an advice column addressing questions sent by both men and women, the editors answering the questions all identified as male, meaning that women would need to wait over a century for genuine female representation in media.
In 1825, writer Anne Newport Royall became the first woman to interview a U.S. president (John Quincy Adams) for publication. America saw its first female foreign war correspondent in 1848, thanks to the work of Margaret Fuller, who also penned the seminal feminist text “Woman in the Nineteenth Century.” In 1948, Katharine Graham became the first female publisher of a major national newspaper, taking the helm of her family’s journalistic landmark, The Washington Post.
While women would continue to grow their presence in the media throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the 1960s proved a critical decade for female representation; Vogue hired its first female editor, Diana Vreeland, in 1963, and in 1965, Cosmopolitan became the first major magazine geared toward women without the overarching theme of homemaking and “housewifery,” thanks to the work of its female editor-in-chief, Helen Gurley Brown.
In 1977, USA Network founder Kay Koplovitz became the first woman to lead a major television station. The ‘80s and ‘90s saw the rise of important media figures like Oprah Winfrey, Diane Sawyer, and Barbara Walters, and the 2000s and 2010s witnessed (and continue to witness) women continuously busting through the glass ceiling to make themselves both seen and heard in the media landscape.
Women hoping to launch careers in media have access to numerous networking groups, seminars, and streaming programs offering guidance and advice on entering this famously-volatile field. A couple of excellent examples:
Another organization aimed at creating networking possibilities and career-building events for women in this field, Women In Media provides numerous perks with membership, like mentorship match-ups, job listings, networking events, and discounted passes to film festivals and panels.

Methlick couple thanked for donation to medical group
A METHLICK couple who raised hundreds of pounds for their local doctors’ surgery have been thanked for their generosity.
Isabel and Peter Stuart of Mansefield, Methlick, presented their cheque for £600 to nurses Kathleen Taylor and Megan Smith on Tuesday at their home in the village.
The couple celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary on February 9, at a surprise party at the Beaton Hall thrown by friends and family. Money raised from the event was then gifted to NHS Grampian, in recognition of the family’s good relationship with local health practitioners.
The couple, who married in 1953 and have four children and five grandchildren, are ‘weel kent’ faces in the village.
Speaking on behalf of the recipients, nurse Kathleen told the Times that the donation would go towards new equipment for the local community’s benefit, including doppler technology for testing blood circulation in patients.
She told the Times: “This is the third donation from the Stuart family, and it’s hugely generous of them. The money will be put to good use.”
Mrs Stuart told the Times that the couple’s anniversary party had been a bolt from the blue, and that friends and family had done well to keep it a secret.
“Even our neighbours knew, but never let on to us,” she said. “It was a complete surprise.”
She added that she and husband Peter were pleased to see the funds raised go to the local surgery, and thanked their friends and family for the dozens of cards they had received.

In this book, twenty-eight contributors summarize the present knowledge of the natural or spontaneous diseases of the rabbit, guinea-pig, mouse and rat. These are the small animals that are used constantly in experimental and other work in the laboratory. Frequently the question arises whether certain conditions found in these animals are the result of spontaneous disease or are caused by the procedures to which the animals were subjected in the laboratory. This book will be of great help in determining this question and it will promote general interest in the diseases and abnormal conditions of these animals. The book has two parts, general and special. The general part covers the infectious and parasitic diseases, tumors, and carbohydrate metabolism. The bacterial and parasitic diseases and the spontaneous tumors receive thorough consideration. The special part, which includes about two thirds of the volume, discusses the morbid changes of the organs and constitutes

While making a recording of a mine explosion in South Africa, a DJI Mavic 2 Pro was hit by a piece of rock, which was thrust into the air by the explosion. This is according to a report from the South African Aviation Authority. The drone was flying at an altitude of 120 meters at the time of the explosion. The device could not be found. However, a final recording of the explosion was secured.
DJI Mavic 2 Pro disconnected
Film images of mine explosions are always impressive to watch. An aerial shot literally adds an extra dimension to this. But then it is important to maintain sufficient distance, according to a remarkable report prepared by the South African Civil Aviation Authority, following an incident that occurred on October 27, 2021.
With the help of a Mavic 2 Pro, images were made of mine explosions near the city of Middelburg. The conditions were perfect for Shooting Drones: little wind, sunny, good visibility, and well away from airports. But during the fourth flight that day, things went wrong: during one of the explosions, the connection was suddenly cut and the drone never returned.
Rock knocks DJI Mavic 2 Pro out of the sky
The drone pilot in question reported the drone incident to the South African Aviation Authority. It was concluded that the drone must have been hit by a piece of rock, which was thrown into the air by the explosion. That happened at an altitude of no less than 120 meters or 400 feet, the maximum allowed flying height for drones in South Africa (as well as in the US).
Although a search was launched by the company that carried out the explosions immediately after the loss of the drone, the unmanned aircraft could not be found. The DJI Mavic 2 Pro is believed to have been buried under the debris from the explosion. A final shot was secured from the cache of the app that controlled the drone, showing the explosion — and possibly the rock that knocked the drone out of the sky.
Based on the incident, the Aviation Authority issued the following safety recommendation:
“Drone operators must predetermine a safe distance (vertical and horizontal) from all potentially unsafe work areas.”
The authority emphasizes that the drone pilot is not to blame and that the recommendation was made purely to improve flight safety.

cleared AND removed. Even then, rocks,
tree stumps or large irregularities mean that the discs
do not always touch the ground.

roller system mounted on the front. Tanks with the KMT5 were once used to 'clear' a defensive
belt of AT mines in Angola.
picture was taken when a T55 tank and KMT5 rollers failed to detonate a pressure initiated AT mine, then drove over it. The tank's armour was breached
and an occupant killed. The system missed mines, and was
even unsafe for its operators.
fundamental problem with rollers is that they can never
let off anything but a pressure-operated device that
is orientated correctly and in good working condition.
Mines on their side or damaged, mines that are not pressure
fuzed, and all manner of unexploded ordnance will always be
left behind - and may be left behind in a more damaged
state. If the ground is uneven, anything could be left
behind, even by heavy roller systems.

turn up and expose mines.
are designed so that AP mine detonations do not disrupt operations.
A few claim that even AT mine detonations cause only minimal
damage. See what happened to the tank in the previous section
- AT mines are designed to disrupt armoured vehicles so the
claim of AT immunity always relies on the device detonating
in a conveniently 'harmless' place.

Tillers use tines or plough blades to break
up the soil and expose any shallow buried items that may
be there. In areas where there is friable soil without
dense tree roots, this can be effective - but the effect
may be to simply turn devices over, or to bury them more
deeply than they originally were.
protect the machines, some are designed to push rather than
pull the tiller. The machine above is the Mine Clearance Cultivator
(MCC). It weighs 32 tonnes (too heavy for the road bridges
in many countries) and pushes its tiller through the ground
with immense force. Needless to say the tiller blades tend
to be broken off by the pressure, especially when there any
large stones or roots for them to catch on. The only effective way
to use it is with a minimal cutting depth, so ignoring any
mines buried below 8cm. Given that its target is AT mines,
and it is normal for them to be buried more deeply, this is
a fairly significant design limitation.
the machine was backed by huge sums of US taxpayers
money and 'found' two AT mines in Angola.
It blew itself up with both.

of real clearance by a real demining team.

machines could really locate and break up the range of unexploded
ordnance common in mined areas, (which includes ordnance with
an armour piercing capability) they would blow themselves
to bits in the process regularly. What happened with the MCC
illustrates what can happen with simple blast devices. If
they reliably exposed everything that must be found in HD,
commercial demining groups might find them commercially viable
to purchase, but they do not.
ground tends to look smooth despite the original irregularities
- so items can be missed and buried more deeply than they
were before. Bed-rock, fibrous tree roots and soft ground
all lead to failures of coverage that means the whole area
must be searched again using reliable procedures.
If the machine has disrupted mine patterns or left damaged
devices behind, this can be slower and more expensive than
it would have been without the machine being involved. In
any case, the cost of using the machine must be added to the
cost of manual search and clearance - so it can never be cheaper than
manual clearance would be.

Wisconsin pregame -- Wednesday players
Iowa DE Broderick Binns talks about Wisconsin's size and how a defensive lineman can combat that size. It's something Binns is actuely aware of. He admitted to being decked a few times when the Hawkeyes traveled to Madison last season. "My sophomore year going against Wisconsin, I was put on my back a couple times here and there."
Iowa WR Colin Sandeman is one of Iowa's key special teamers, as the punt returner. You don't have to tell him how important special teams is in this game. The Badgers got a 97-yard kickoff return for a score right off the bat in their upset of Ohio State last week. "We're just trying to make as few mistakes as we can. . . . We've made some strides [since Arizona], but there are definitely areas we can clean up."
For Iowa DE Adrian Clayborn, Saturday shapes up to be a battle royale with Wisconsin left tackle Gabe Carimi. Believe it or not, the two don't trash talk out there. There seems to be a level of mutual respest between the two possible first-round NFL draft picks. "There wasn't much trash talking [in their meeting in Madison last year]. It was pretty much man-on-man. Two good players going against each other. No need to talk, just do it between the whistles."

NEW Controlled Food System Is Now In Place And They Will Stop At Nothing To Accelerate Their Control
“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.” This famous quote by Henry Kissinger is ringing more and more true by the week. The globalists already control the majority of the money, are moving ever so swiftly to convert the energy system over into systems they are all invested in, and have been taking drastic measures to control the food industry while running much of it under the radar. If they control the seeds they control the food, and if they control the food they can use the digital ID to control consumer access to the food. While a rash of fires suddenly destroy food processing, meat, and fertilizer plants, during a time where farmers are hurting and supply chain issues are kicking in, an entire traceable food infrastructure system has already been built in multiple cities and is making its way across the globe. Imagine a day where farmers markets no longer exist, you can’t drive over to your local farmer to buy produce or cuts of meat, and the only food growing outside of the globalists secured indoor vertical farming and lab grown meat facilities, is in your windowsill, garden, or greenhouse. • The indoor vertical farming industry was valued at $5.5 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $19.86 billion by 2026. Urban indoor farming controlled by the globalists is the future of food they have reimagined, and it’s already in thousands of grocery stores without people realizing it. Whereas the U.S. is leading in this industry, this is a global agenda with vertical farms popping up across the globe. • For perspective, Bowery Farming’s new facility in Alexandria, TX will be able to serve 16 million people in a 200-mile radius. This is only one of dozens of vertical farming companies with massive facilities across the country, backed by big investors. • AeroFarms, who has the largest indoor vertical farming facility in the world, co-developed the first CRISPR-Cas9 gene-edited produce product, now hundreds are following, while National Geographic believes that gene editing is the next food revolution. AeroFarms also worked on an NIH sponsored trial to produce proteins for the Covid jabs. • The University of California is developing a plant-based mRNA vaccine in the hopes that farms can grow edible vaccine heads of lettuce. • Monsanto/Bayer is creating gene edited seeds for vertical farm companies, while Bill Gates, the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, and the World Bank control 10% of the world’s germplasms and hold some of the world’s largest seed banks. Bayer and BASF, two of the world’s largest suppliers of seed, are both involved with the vertical farm industry. • The USDA and FDA have already approved lab grown meat, genetically modified cattle, and are funding the globalists to research and develop cellular agriculture as well as indoor growers and genetics companies, while they slack on regulations for gene-edited produce. • Well over a dozen major food processing and meat plants have coincidentally gone up in flames in the past several months. • Union Pacific is mandating railroad shipping reductions by 20%, impacting CF Industries Holdings, the world’s largest fertilizer company. Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street happen to be the top shareholders of Union Pacific, and BlackRock and Vanguard are in the top 3 shareholders of CF Industries Holdings. • By mapping some of the biggest vertical farms (below in this report), it reveals the crops, grocery stores involved, locations, and billions pouring in by globalist investors and shareholders. It quickly becomes evident that this is the global plan to control all produce – ingredients that go into all food products. How Did They Lock This in Under The Radar? Some Critical Points: The food industry is already monopolized by 10 companies, the majority of which include Vanguard and BlackRock as top shareholders. What happens when they control all of the seeds, produce, and meat too? What happens when produce and meat are all grown inside secured facilities after a gene splice or inside a petri dish, and farmland becomes dormant due to overreaching regulations, lack of supplies, and manufactured inflation? In 2014, during the Obama administration, congress established the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research Act (FFAR) through the Farm Bill, which ultimately created a non-profit organization outside of the government with a $200 million kickoff from taxpayer dollars and additional millions in support from Bill Gates as seen here, and here. USDA Secretary Vilsack announced its creation on July 23, 2014, stating that they were appointing a 15-member board of directors which unsurprisingly included deputy director Dr. Robert Horsch of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and high-ranking employees from Cargill and the Aspen Institute, among others. This new foundation would “leverage public and private resources to increase the scientific and technological research, innovation, and partnerships critical to boosting America’s agricultural economy.” On April 2, 2019, FFAR announced they were launching Precision Indoor Plants (PIP) Consortium, a public-private partnership consisting of indoor growers, breeders, and genetics companies including AeroFarms, BASF, Benson Hill Biosystems, Fluence Bioengineering, Green Venus, Japan Plant Factory, and Priva. Their focus is on five key crops: lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries, cilantro, and blueberries, with a goal to advance speed-breeding, and to alter chemicals produced in plants that impact flavor, nutrition and medicines. As quickly as Bill Gates was buying up farmland, money began pouring into the new future of food – urban vertical indoor farming where they claim the masses will all eventually migrate to. According to Research And Markets, the global vertical farming market was valued at $5.5 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $19.86 billion in 2026. These growing facilities are astronomical in size as far as their ability to serve millions of people. For example, Bowery Farming is in the process of building their newest “smart” facility in Arlington, just outside of Dallas, TX, which will be capable of serving 16 million people within a 200-mile radius. Bill Gates insists that droughts and climate change is destroying our ability to farm and that the future will consist of populations moving into metropolitan cities where indoor vertical farming is necessary to feed people. If this is the case, why has he acquired 242,000 acres of farmland over the past decade while simultaneously investing in indoor vertical farming? Who gets to sit at the table with healthy produce served up by Gates while the rest of the population eats gene-edited produce from locked-down facilities, delivered to their local grocery store, and accessed only through a digital ID? Meanwhile, the Consultative Group of International Agriculture Research (CGIAR) holds the world’s largest private seed banks consisting of 10% of the worldwide germplasm across the globe, which is controlled by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, and World Bank, managing 768,576 accessions of hijacked farmers seeds. Once the future of food through vertical farming took root, by August 2020, Monsanto/Bayer and Singapore’s sovereign fund Temasek launched a $30 million startup called Unfold which develops new vegetable seed varieties tailored to vertical farms. Bayer licensed the rights to seed germplasm from their vegetable portfolio. By 2021, they leased a 12,000 square foot laboratory research building in Davis, California. But don’t worry, rather than genetically modifying and inserting a gene into the DNA strand, like how Monsanto operated (acquired by Bayer in 2018), they only intend to cut a gene, still modifying its DNA. Perhaps this can be done in an effective and beneficial way, but at the hands of those behind all 2030 UN agendas, it gives one great pause. GMOs already account for 75-80% of food Americans consume. There are already over 100 companies in the Sacramento area working on seed development, so it should come as no surprise that the University of California is developing a plant-based mRNA vaccine in the hopes that farms can grow edible vaccine lettuce. Sounds deliciously perfect. As with so many exciting projects such as this, the National Science Foundation granted $500,000 for this gem. “Imagine walking into your local grocery store on a frigid January day to pick up freshly harvested lettuce, fragrant basil, juicy sweet strawberries, and ripe red tomatoes – all of which were harvested at a local farm only hours before you’d arrived.” That quote from the USDA’s article on Vertical Farming for the Future, published in October 2021, sounds so deliciously enticing and convenient, especially in anticipation of meeting the needs of 9 billion people by 2050, doesn’t it? But, yes there’s always a “but,” what’s going to happen to the farmers when these astronomically enormous indoor vertical farm facilities have taken over every major city, locked in contracts with all major grocery store chains, and are funded by some of the same billionaire globalists who are seeking to control human beings through every industry for their fourth industrial revolution? It’s a legitimate concern. Add “gene-editing,” “smart,” “traceable,” and “net zero” to the production of these facilities, and the fact that they are still moving full speed ahead on digital IDs and currency, and it becomes even more concerning. Sure, the idea of indoor vertical farming could be a great avenue for those with little land, those who live in harsher climates, and everyone who wants food security while these agendas against humanity continue to roll out, but wouldn’t it make more sense for communities to be doing this to meet their own needs, rather than relying on a digital ID to get access to a controlled food industry? The nutritional value from LED versus the sun likely removes some of the nutrients in the produce, but if faced with having difficulty accessing food, or not desiring gene-edited food, it might be a good idea. Whereas this provides a lot of explanation on the absolute intentional demolition to all of our farmers on the seed, vegetable, and produce front, people should also be aware of what’s been taking place with cattle ranchers and the globalists’ plan to take over the meat industry as well. Lab grown meat has already been approved by the FDA and USDA to move forward in the U.S. and labs are eagerly filling up their petri dishes to get this ball rolling. In fact, back in September 2021, the USDA was seeking comments on the labeling of meat and poultry products derived from animals cells – in a press release that no one ever knew about. Upside Foods lab grown meat facility just launched in California, funded by Bill Gates, Temasek Holdings, and 37 other investors. Meanwhile, the USDA is still pushing for RFID surveillance of cattle and doing everything they can to control ranchers. The USDA and FDA are fully on board with genetic modifications. First it was pigs, then it was salmon, now it’s cattle. Who knows what concoction will move from the petri dish to your dinner plate when it’s the same individuals behind every agenda. On February 1, 2016 the Good Food Institute was launched by Bruce Friedrich with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Open Philanthropy Project, and Y Combinator, with the goal to “reimagine meat production.” In October 2021, the Good Food Institute celebrated the USDA’s $10 million grant for the creation of the first-ever National Institute for Cellular Agriculture at Tufts University so they can back researchers in manufactured meat. To be certain all of these goals are locked into place and the UN 2030 agenda is achieved, disrupting the fertilizer industry, food supply chain, and a rash of coincidental fires to food processing plants sure would help to seal the deal, wouldn’t it? Since the start of 2022, over a dozen major food processing and fertilizer plants have gone up in flames, exploded, or been struck by a plane crash in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. Nothing odd about this at all. Some articles on these fires can be found here,…

The 12 gauge gatling gun episode that aired last week was our most watched to date. It was tough research and development project, but the rotary concept is one we are determined to tackle here at Red Jacket.
The plan was to mount three 12 gauge shotgun barrels onto a precision cut central rotor, which was then attached to an electronically driven firing mechanism. The biggest challenge was that we needed to design and manufacture all the parts for this gun. It would shoot at 1400 rounds per minute, literally creating a wall of fire. This type of build was a first for us, and it was the epitome of research and development.
But, as you saw on the show, we had some setbacks in the process. Turns out, the outer housing for the rotary version actually needed to be a 3/8 of an inch longer to give longer throw to the bolts, ensuring lock up. We actually had successful test fires with it prior to catastrophic one they showed on TV, but there was really no way to look at it and know for sure that the bolts were properly locked in. Our feeling was that it needed be longer, but we had no way in-house to know for sure.
I don't think ya'll have seen a more accurate depiction of the R&D process than the 12 gauge gatling gun build. We started with a concept for a client and worked toward bringing it to life. Sometimes we get exactly what we planned and other times, like with this project, we find a whole new direction for a build.
The format of the show is a one-hour stand alone segment, and it's not really a place to show the lengthy developments of our concepts. To be honest, the end of last week's show was the end of the rotary shotgun process for Red Jacket. But it was barely the beginning of our foray into the rotary gun systems.
We are actively pushing a couple of different rotary gun designs at the moment.
You saw on the show that the customer was ready to pull the 12 gauge saiga version and take home what amounted to a range toy. So, that was the end of the shotgun version. We have kept forward movement in the development of the rotary gun systems, but we have changed gears a bit. We moved away from the 12 gauge gatling gun and are working on a version in 5.56 caliber model as well as one in .50 BMG.
At the end of the day that 12 gauge was going to be nothing more than a toy for type 07 and 10s in a position to pay what it would cost and have someone to demo it for! It has a limited market and customer base, amongst those is the Department of Defense who is currently looking for a multi-barreled rotary gun in 5.56. So, we took some of our core rotary work for the shotgun and are moving it into a design with a true military application.
In the end, while it was a nice project for TV and to learn the Haas Machines, the main thing for Red Jacket was that this process got us going in a whole new direction.
Many thanks, I'll see ya'll next week.

The Role of Emotion in Managing Stress
Stress is an inevitable part of life, and its impact on our well-being is significant. While stress is a natural response to challenging situations, prolonged and unmanaged stress can have detrimental effects on both our physical and mental health. In the quest for effective stress management, understanding and harnessing the power of emotions play a crucial role.
There is a strong connection between emotions and stress management, which highlights the importance of emotional intelligence in building resilience and promoting overall well-being.
The Connection Between Emotion and Stress
Emotions are complex experiences that influence our thoughts, behaviour, and physiological responses. When faced with stressors, whether they be work-related pressures, personal challenges, or unexpected life events, our emotional responses can either worsen or alleviate the impact of stress. Recognizing and managing these emotions can significantly influence our ability to cope with stress in a healthy manner.
Emotional Intelligence as a Stress Management Tool
Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one’s own emotions, as well as the ability to recognise emotion in others, and being empathetic to that person. Individuals with high emotional intelligence are better equipped to navigate the challenges of life and effectively manage stress. Here’s how emotional intelligence contributes to stress management:
- Self-Awareness: Recognizing and understanding one’s own emotions is the first step in managing stress. By being aware of how stress manifests in ourselves emotionally, individuals can implement coping strategies before stress reaches overwhelming levels.
- Self-Regulation: Emotionally intelligent people have the capacity to regulate their emotions effectively. This involves managing impulsive reactions, controlling negative emotions, and maintaining composure under pressure. By practicing self-regulation, individuals can prevent stress from escalating.
- Empathy: Understanding the emotions of others develops empathy, which helps in creating a supportive social environment. Social support is a powerful buffer against stress, and having a network of supportive individuals can provide emotional validation and practical assistance during challenging times.
- Motivation: Emotional intelligence is linked to intrinsic motivation, which enables individuals to set and pursue meaningful goals. Having a sense of purpose and motivation can mitigate the impact of stress by fostering a positive mindset and resilience.
Practical Strategies for Emotion-Centric Stress Management
- Mindfulness and Meditation: Mindfulness practices, such as meditation, encourage individuals to observe and accept their emotions without self-judgment. This can enhance emotional awareness and help build resilience to stress.
- Positive Visualization: Engaging in positive visualization techniques, where individuals imagine successful outcomes or pleasant experiences, can evoke positive emotions and counteract stress.
- Healthy Emotional Outlets: Finding healthy ways to express emotions, such as through creative outlets, physical activity, or talking to a trusted friend, can prevent emotional suppression and promote emotional well-being.
- Cultivating a Supportive Environment: Surrounding oneself with supportive and understanding individuals creates a foundation for effective stress management. Open communication and shared emotional experiences can create and develop a sense of belonging and connection.
