RITA Ora is no stranger to flaunting her svelte body, and now shes flaunting it as the face of underwear brand Tenzenis.
The singer posted a photo to her Snapchat and Instagram wearing some of the cute underwear, with all the fruit in the right places -JUST!
Rita has been busy building a name for herself again, following her epic public battle with Jay-Z's record label.
The singer posed in another one of the brand’s saucy bras a few weeks ago – this one covering her nipples with cupcakes.
She wrote: “New @tezenisofficial I love creating underwear with you guys!! Why wear anything else... design your own. Yup.”
The singer is so far keeping schtum on whether she'll be appearing as a judge on X Factor this year.
There have been a whole load of rumours about who could possibly be on this year's panel but, so far, nothing from Rita herself.
We're waiting, Rita!
Rita and Nick were meant to inject a bit of youth into the show but after falling ratings, Simon seems to have gone back to his tried and tested formula and re-hired X Factpr veterans Louis Walsh and Dermot O'Leary.
The sexy star had rave reviews when she joined the line-up last year and even managed to win the series with Louisa Johnson.
So far only Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh have been confirmed for this year’s series, with original judge Sharon Osbourne tipped to return.
We'll just have to wait and see...

Residents at Heather View have got their binoculars at the ready and are gearing up to participate in the annual wildlife survey, which will be taking place from Saturday 27th until Monday 29th January.
The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch is the world’s biggest garden wildlife survey. Every year, over half a million people nationwide take part by counting the birds, as well as other garden species such as badgers and hedgehogs, that they spot in their garden in one hour. This important survey allows the RSPB to monitor species population and trends year to year.
Residents at Heather View have been using the Birdwatch to take part in all sorts of feathered friend-related activities, including a bird themed quiz to test their knowledge and a variety of craft activities all related to the local wildlife. On Friday 26th January, residents and guests will be joined by the RSPB who will be presenting a short talk on birds and how to look after wildlife living in the garden.
Home manager, Natasha King, explained why taking part in the Birdwatch is important for residents at Heather View: “Spending time outside and connecting with nature has great benefits for both physical and mental wellbeing which is important for older people, particularly for those living with dementia. Birdwatching is a peaceful activity that has a calming effect on residents, with vibrant colours and distinctive bird songs also providing sensory stimulation.
“We are delighted to be taking part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch again this year and look forward to welcoming the local community to the home for a fun and informative afternoon learning about wildlife in the surrounding areas.”
Beacon Road, Crowborough, East Sussex, TN6 1AS

Participants will hear directly from their local government leaders, including King County Councilmember Kathy Lambert. Representatives from Local Services and other departments that serve the unincorporated areas will discuss how they are delivering services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The events will run from 7 to 9 p.m. Users can join via Zoom at https://kingcounty.zoom.us/j/9074762461. They can also join via phone by calling 253-215-8782 and providing the meeting ID number: 907 476 2461.
These are two of five Town Hall events that King County Local Services has scheduled for the unincorporated areas in October. The full schedule is below:
- Oct. 1: Bear Creek/Sammamish
- Oct. 6: Skyway
- Oct. 15: North Highline (White Center)
- Oct. 22: Vashon-Maury Island
- Oct. 26: Snoqualmie Valley/NE King County
As with just about everything in 2020, Local Services had to think creatively about how to deliver these popular, usually in-person events while COVID-19 limits public gatherings. Last year, hundreds of residents turned out to hear directly from King County leaders and officials, explore government services, and more at these events in their communities.
Even though the pandemic has all but eliminated the in-person format, King County continues its commitment to inform and hear from the residents of the unincorporated areas.
“Ensuring that unincorporated King County residents can easily access their local government is vital, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Lambert said. “This virtual town hall is just one of the ways the Department of Local Services and King County are working to serve you, hear from the community, answer your questions, and keep you informed.”
“We hear every day how the lives of unincorporated King County residents have changed because of this pandemic,” Local Services Director John Taylor said. “And while we had to adapt our jobs in the age of COVID-19, our dedication to inform and hear directly from our communities remains strong. This year will be logistically different, but the spirit of these events is the same.”
Local Services is hosting 10 of these events in September and October throughout the unincorporated areas.

This is just about the wildest thing I've ever seen in my life.
This leftist journalist mocked the Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams because Adams predicted a rise in crime under the Biden Administration way back in 2020 using hyperbole:
Yes, the same Josh Kruger who was on Saturday mocking the idea that crime would rise under Biden and that people need to seriously consider moving away from cities, was shot 7 times and killed in a home invasion Sunday night/Monday morning.
Yep. Literally, the wildest coincidence I've ever seen in my life.

His work built on his own personal experiences living with HIV and experiencing homelessness, according to his LinkedIn profile. In his profile, he described himself as a "destroyer of stigma and bureaucratic silos" and a "believer in the common good." He also used social media as a platform to write about his own experience surviving addiction and continuing to work with people dealing with addiction in Philadelphia.
The irony is that the "destroyer of stigma" and "believer in the common good" was gunned down in his sleep at 1:30 AM by a criminal he would have so loved to cover in a positive light.
It's a tragic irony. But the insane timing is hard to ignore.

AG Office Statement on Events in Eureka Last Night
TOPEKA -- (October 15, 2013) -- The Office of Attorney General Derek Schmidt today issued the following statement regarding events last night in Greenwood County:
"Last night law enforcement searched several locations in Eureka, Kansas, seeking suspect Kevin Robert Welsh. Welsh was not located. Welsh is believed to be in Eureka or close proximity. He is considered armed. Governor Brownback has authorized a $5,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension of Kevin Robert Welsh. Any person with information is asked to call 911 or (800) KS-CRIME."
EUREKA, Kan. (KAKE/KWCH) - Authorities in Greenwood County were releasing few details Monday night on a major law enforcement action in the town.
KWCH-TV reported just after 10 pm Monday that several blocks in Eureka, which were barricaded earlier in the night, had re-opened, and most law enforcement had left the scene where they were hoping to apprehend murder suspect Kevin Welsh.
Witnesses say they saw Welsh in Eureka earlier in the day.
KAKE-TV reports that, just before 9 pm, witnesses heard three loud bangs and more law enforcement vehicles arrived on the scene.
KAKE-TV says that the sheriff did confirm whether Welsh was in custody or still on the run. He did say that any updates would have to come from the Attorney General's office Tuesday morning.
Police say Welsh is wanted for an October 2nd shooting near Eureka that left his ex-girlfriend injured and her mother and step-father dead.
Authorities have offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to his capture.
WIBW sister station KAKE and CBS affiliate KWCH will update information as it becomes available.

In 1996, R.A. Dickey was the Texas Rangers' much-heralded No. 1 draft choice. Then, a routine physical revealed that his right elbow was missing its ulnar collateral ligament, and his lifelong dream?along with his $810,000 signing bonus?was ripped away. Yet despite being twice consigned to baseball's scrap heap, Dickey battled back. Today, he is the starting pitcher for the New York Mets and one of the National League's premier players.

AUGUSTA, Ga.---Some business owners in south Augusta say they are being targeted by burglars.
The break-ins are happening at urban clothing stores within close proximity of each other. The latest burglary happened last night at Jones' Urban Wear and More.
Business owners say they're planning to do something about the crime instead of being victims.
"Before we got the bars, they just came directly through the front door...and all of this was completely shattered when they came through the front door," said Denise Bedford, describing what happened during one of the four times her store, Urban Wear on Barton Chapel Road, was hit by thieves. The store was broken in a week ago, and hundreds of dollars of merchandise was stolen.
"We've now had to chain up our doors...to secure it," she said. "It's a terrible thing when you're trying to get started and you have to go through hardships like this."
And she's not the only one. Just last night, Jones' Urban Wear and More was the target. It's believed the thieves broke the glass and climbed into the store over the security bars.
Bedford says it's a store owner's worst nightmare.
"We received a phone call from that particular business owner about 2 am this morning, and of course they were very upset, and we got up and came up here to make sure everything was all right up here," she said.
Bedford says insurance will usually cover some of the damage, but the loss of merchandise has to be a certain amount...and if it's not covered, they suffer the loss. That's why a few of the businesses are getting together to look out for one another.
"We're all definitely partnering up looking out for each other," Bedford said. "This has got to stop....It's hard. We hadn't been in business a year and to have stuff like this happen, it's just a terrible thing. It's a terrible thing when young African Americans are trying to establish business here in our neighborhood and then we've got suffer such tragedies like this."
Bedford says they could have opened their business anywhere, but chose to stay near home. She has this message to whoever is breaking in and stealing from them:
"Plain and simple: stop. We are trying to provide a service here in our own neighborhood for our people who live in this neighborhood," she said. "All I can say is whoever is doing this, stop. You're making it hard for us and everybody in the community."
There have been other burglaries in the area too, but this is the fifth time the other store we mentioned, Jones' Urban Wear and More, has been burglarized. They've only been in business for two months.
There is a cash reward being offered for any information leading to arrests.


The Control Yuan yesterday censured state-owned Taiwan Power Co (Taipower) over its changes to the design of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant by up to 1,000 items, demanding the government not allow the plant to start operation unless it is safe.
Control Yuan member Huang Huang-hsiung (黃煌雄), in charge of investigation into safety issues at the plant, said Taipower had made more than 1,000 arbitrary design changes without permission from General Electric Co (GE), which originally designed the plant.
“That Taipower only partially followed the original design and stuck with its plan to make the changes in defiance of orders from the Atomic Energy Council showed that it ignored nuclear security issues at the power plants,” Huang said.
Following the crisis at Japan’s Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant triggered by the March 11 earthquake and tsumami, the safety of nuclear power has resurfaced as a public concern, prompting the government to consider postponing the original scheduled opening of the fourth nuclear power plant by one year, to the end of 2013.
Huang urged the central government to push Taiwan’s participation in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and related non-government organizations to enhance the country’s nuclear inspections and its inclusion in a nuclear incident information system.
The Control Yuan also said the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) had committed serious errors in its solar energy promotion program.
The ministry encouraged farmers in Pingtung County to abandon their fish ponds, which had been blamed for serious land-subsidence problems because of overuse of underground water, and switch to solar energy production following Typhoon Morakot in August 2009.
However, earlier this year it changed its subsidy policy. It decided that the subsidies would not be disbursed from the day the contract was signed — as originally indicated — but on the day construction is completed. The move triggered complaints.
Control Yuan member Chao Jung-yao (趙榮耀), who initiated the motion to censure the ministry, said the ministry had violated the principle of good faith by arbitrarily changing the subsidy plan, which in turn damaged the government’s credibility and image.


The three I saw were the Hwasong (a SCUD variant), the AG-1 (A Seersucker anti-ship variant) and the KN-02 (A short range ballistic missile based on the old Soviet SS-21 Scarab). These are shown below, in that order.
The lack of NoDongs and TaepoDongs was intentional; no need to give the foreigners too much to be concerned about. But each KCNA press release on the parade made sure to include a line about the missiles: “Columns of rocket units also went past the tribune of honor, demonstrating the invincible might of the KPA equipped with modern offensive and defensive means.”
What is interesting is that these were battlefield missiles, not the strategic ones used to shape foreign perceptions, but actual, useable weapons. And they are also for sale.
On a side note, for some reason this picture of the reviewing stand reminds me of the intro to the Muppet Show...

My creative component was designed to help government officials (local and state), city planners, local businesses, and other local organizations identify the main causes of the water crisis in Flint, MI, as well as find appropriate solutions to restore the community into a safe and healthy sustainable environment. In accomplishing this goal, hours of research was developed in analyzing periodic catastrophic events linking to the creation of the water crisis, to cause the weakening of the economy, natural resources, and local government in deeming the community as unlivable. In resolution, community development models and strategies are determined for Flint in getting the community shifted in the right direction towards sustainable livelihoods.

If you are interested in something a little longer and more challenging, I put together a planning guide for a complete traverse of the Arthur Range in February, 2018. Beginning at Scotts Peak Dam and finishing at the Farmhouse Creek trailhead, it includes both the western and eastern sections of the Arthurs.
Distance : 44.7 miles (72 km)
Avg.Time : 5 days
Start / Finish :
- The Western Arthurs Traverse is a loop route that starts and finishes at the Scotts Peak Dam trailhead.
- The starting point is three hours by road from Hobart. Unfortunately at the time of writing (2013), regular shuttle bus services to Scotts Peak Dam from Hobart are no longer running. Click here for transport options.
- February and March are your best chance of fine (relatively speaking) conditions. That being said, snow and heavy rain are possible at any time of year.
Maps / Info :
- TASMAP 1:100,000 Old River covers the entire route. It can be purchased at outdoor stores throughout Tasmania.
- John Chapman’s South West Tasmania includes maps and trekking notes. Highly recommended. Now in its 5th edition (2008).
- The Arthurs Range is subject to some of the wildest weather imaginable. This place makes Scotland seem like the Sahara. I kid you not, it is not uncommon to have sunshine, heavy rain, wind and snow……..and then sunshine again…………all on the same day.
- Good wet weather gear is a must. A sense of humour will also come in handy.
- The Arthurs plains are very muddy (see photos below). Gaiters are useful, however, chances are the mud will occasionally be up over your knees.
- Walking along the jagged crest of the range is often exposed, and there are sections in which extreme care must be taken. Some scrambling required. Suffice to say it can be slow going at times.
- Bring a tent. Be sure it holds up well in a storm.
- Due to the increasing popularity of this trail, timber tent platforms have been built at some of the more frequently used campsites.
- Fantastic hike. Arguably the most spectacular in Australia.
- Not recommended for the inexperienced. If this is your first time hiking in this part of the world, the South Coast Track may be a better initial option.
- Keep your base weight as low as possible (see Going Light). With all the scrambling and mud-slogging involved with hiking in the Arthurs, the last thing you want to be doing is carrying an excessively heavy pack.

In promoting the sanctity of human life, the Qur'an-e Shariff says that good health, like knowledge, is a divine gift. The family unit nurtures the lives of its members, assisting them in their physical and spiritual endeavours. The wellbeing of individuals, in-turn, contributes to the overall health of the family, and that of society at large.
Last month, young members of the Jamat in Pakistan had the opportunity to tour interior Sindh and Karachi on a journey to reflect on and understand the importance of cultural heritage. The trip was organised as part of the Heritage Discovery Tour (HDT), a flagship programme of the Arts and Culture portfolio of the Aga Khan Youth and Sports Board for Pakistan.
With the arrival of our 46th Imam Hasanali Shah in India in the mid nineteenth century from Iran, there was a turning point in Ismaili history. The Imamat base shifted from Iran to India, and remained here till our 48th Imam Sultan Mahomed Shah shifted base to Europe in the early 20th Century. Various structures and monuments were established and maintained during this period in India. ’The Heritage walk’, one of the programs by the Communications team of the National Council for India aims to make our community and particularly the youth aware of the importance of our cultural and historical heritage and inculcate a sense of pride and appreciation of our historic cultural heritage. It also aims to help the community develop a harmonious relationship with our historical past. In pursuit of this objective, the Communications team has been regularly conducting walks in three historic areas of Darkhana, Agahall and Hasanabad in Mumbai since June 2017.
Burnaby — The Honourable Judith Guichon, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, presided over an inspiring ceremony at the Ismaili Centre, Burnaby where 47 young adults were awarded their Duke of Edinburgh’s Silver Achievement Award.
Burnaby – Dr. Brett Finlay, Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies (UBC) Distinguished Professor and Senior CIFAR Fellow (Canadian Institute for Advanced Research) discussed how microbes play a central part in early childhood development, why some germs are good for our immunity and disease prevention and how to balance hygiene with microbial exposure in schools, hospitals, and at home. Providing a unique perspective on quality of life from a microbial perspective, Finlay discussed the role of microbes in human health and disease.


An album by consummate jazz musicians for consummate jazz fans.
John Lennon said "Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans." And while this statement is usually used as a metaphor for love, it seems particularly apt when it comes to great jazz. The vast majority of the world’s best jazz musicians aren’t famous. They aren’t playing at prominent jazz festivals in picturesque seaside villas or "premiere" urban music venues whose walls drip candid photographs of Monk, Mingus and Miles. No, for the most part, you’ll find these musicians in the background: giving masterclasses to distracted students; playing to half-hearted wedding attendees; or (sadly with less and less frequency) accenting table conversation at back-alley nightclubs and cafes. And so most great jazz doesn’t happen at the Newport Jazz Festival or the Village Vanguard or during a Blue Note recording session. It occurs at the anonymous places where you’ll find most great jazz musicians playing: solo gigs at the Holiday Inn lounge at the airport; a 1 a.m. trio set that unexpectedly (and serendipitously) turned into a duo when the drummer’s kid got sick and he had to leave early; the café where the band is snuggly sandwiched between the entrance and the espresso machine.
Now Was the Time, the new album from veterans Harvie S and Kenny Barron, captures the magic and intimacy of the great everyday jazz moment as experienced by the true working jazz musician and the most attuned jazz listener. It is filled with subtle moments of brilliance that would otherwise be lost in the shuffle of shopping bags or the bursts of conversation that accompany most jazz great performances. To further serve its cause as an unintentional ode to the anonymous jazz musician and typical great jazz moment, it turns out Now Was the Time was actually recorded back in 1986 and forgotten until Harvie S unearthed it recently and, thankfully, gave this session the light of day.
The album starts off with a playful version of Charlie Parker’s famous tune "Confirmation". The musicians forego the traditional jazz idiom of playing the melody first as Barron begins the song with a bubbly solo that would make Art Tatum smile and will show young jazz listeners just where Brad Mehldau got some of his pizzazz. Harvie S takes over with a bluesy solo that ends with a quote from "Body and Soul", a jazz standard, all too well known to the everyday jazz musician, which is covered beautifully later in the album.
Another highlight is the Harvie S-penned song "Take Your Time", which is as soulful as anything either musician has ever done. Barron’s solos are reminiscent of Sonny Clark and Duke Jordan’s legendary Blue Note recordings.
The "everyday" quality of Now Was the Time is enhanced by its duet setting. Without a crackling snare drum or blaring horn, the musicians, with only piano and bass at their disposal, are forced to create tension through two of the most basic elements of music: harmony and rhythm.
Songs like Rodgers and Hart’s "Isn’t it Romantic?" and Arthur Altman and Jack Lawrence’s "All or Nothing At All" showcase Harvie S and Barron’s command of harmony and rhythm and exemplify why each musician is such an in-demand accompanist. Harvie S’s bass slithers through Barron’s solos while Barron’s piano voicings are a natural compliment to Harvie S’s bluesy phrasing.
The danger of recording a duet is that the two musicians often feel obliged to fill all the space normally occupied by a quartet or quintet. Harvie S and Barron only fall into this trap once, on the Wayne Shorter tune "Miyako". The solos are less adventurous and the musicians sound like they are going through the motions at times, biding their time between chords. But these moments are few and far between.
The downside of having inadvertently created a tribute to the everyday jazz moment is that, like everyday jazz, the majority of Now Was The Time is bound to be lost on the casual listener, who will most likely dismiss its subtle harmonies and duet setting as mere background noise or mood music.
Nonetheless, while most new jazz releases seem to be watered down to cater specifically to the casual listener, it’s refreshing to hear jazz that, like everyday jazz, is aimed largely at the audience listening while the music is being created—in this case, the musicians themselves. Harvie S and Kenny Barron have created an album that will no doubt echo most loudly with their peers, true working jazz musicians, and those who recognize that great jazz moments "happen when you’re busy making other plans."

In the 1500s in Morocco, Mustafa ibn Muhammad is a kind older brother to his twin brothers and a successful merchant. But when he loses his position due to difficult times, he is forced to sell himself into slavery so that his mother and brothers will not starve. After several years he becomes part of an expedition to New Spain (today’s Southern U.S.A.) led by de Narvaez who plans to capture the land for the Spanish crown and become as famous as Cortes. But once they land in New Florida starvation and disease force the contingent to steal and plunder whatever they can from Indian tribes. Within a year only four have survived: Mustafa (who was reassigned a new name — Estebanico), his master, Dorantes, Cabeza de Vaco and Castillo. Will they ever be able to return to their native countries or will they too, die from disease or at the hands of Indians? This is a fascinating account seen through the eyes of Mustafa/Estebanico a desperate survivor who only hopes for his freedom from bondage.
Forced to retire for her out dated French lessons, Miss Webster is a cantankerous old woman living alone in her English cottage. After she recovers from a serious illness, she holidays in Morocco. Within weeks of her return, she is confronted with a handsome young Arab on her doorstep, the son of a woman she befriended at her North African hotel. When she allows Cherif to stay overnight before he finds accommodation on campus, it is the beginning of her transformation. Cherif is introducted to a different world from his desert upbringing, while he hides a lie until he can no longer conceal the truth.
This book is set after 9/11 and during the Iraqi war. I loved Duncker’s tongue in cheek humour and her take on the small mindedness of the villagers when they meet Cherif.


Winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Eleven Tony Awards, including Best Musical
Lin-Manuel Miranda's groundbreaking musical Hamilton is as revolutionary as its subject, the poor kid from the Caribbean who fought the British, defended the Constitution, and helped to found the United States. Fusing hip-hop, pop, R&B, and the best traditions of theater, this once-in-a-generation show broadens the sound of Broadway, reveals the storytelling power of rap, and claims our country's origins for a diverse new generation.
HAMILTON: THE REVOLUTION gives readers an unprecedented view of both revolutions, from the only two writers able to provide it. Miranda, along with Jeremy McCarter, a cultural critic and theater artist who was involved in the project from its earliest stages--"since before this was even a show," according to Miranda--traces its development from an improbable perfor-mance at the White House to its landmark opening night on Broadway six years later. In addition, Miranda has written more than 200 funny, revealing footnotes for his award-winning libretto, the full text of which is published here.
Their account features photos by the renowned Frank Ockenfels and veteran Broadway photographer, Joan Marcus; exclusive looks at notebooks and emails; interviews with Questlove, Stephen Sond-heim, leading political commentators, and more than 50 people involved with the production; and multiple appearances by Presi-dent Obama himself. The book does more than tell the surprising story of how a Broadway musical became a national phenomenon: It demonstrates that America has always been renewed by the brash upstarts and brilliant outsiders, the men and women who don't throw away their shot.

Our Wolves fans here in the Transfer Tavern really have enjoyed this summer so far in the transfer window.
Indeed, after it initially looked as though the club was going to have a difficult period, things have quickly been turned around with the likes of Nuno Espirito Santo coming in as manager and Ruben Neves being signed as a player.
For sure, then, Wolves are dark horses for promotion this coming season in the Championship and another new player has recently been signed – Will Norris – as competition for John Ruddy in goal.
Norris, then, has tweeted about the move, too, and he’s already trying to get in the club’s good books:
— Will Norris (@WilllNorris) July 11, 2017
Calling Wolves a big club, then, shows Norris understands the club’s heritage and that will surely go some way to help him settle in at the Midlands side.
Thoughts, Wolves fans? Let us know below!

Well, that didn't take long, did it?
Perhaps you recall that in our November 1999 issue -- still readily available in dentists' waiting rooms all across the continent -- we indicted the otherwise lovely Audi A8 for its "less generous" rear-seat room and its squirmy, howling Continental tires. Those shortcomings relegated the A8 to third place in "The Dowsters" comparison test of five high-lux cruisers. And now, just months later, those problems have been resolved with the introduction of the new Audi A8 L 4.2 Quattro.
The "L'' indicates a 5.1-inch stretch of the wheelbase, which in turn results in nearly four more cubic feet of stretch-out space in the back seat. This modification to the length of the car does not, however, spoil the classy proportions of this understated but elegant all-aluminum sedan. In fact, without a glance at the rump-mounted badging, you may have trouble picking out the longer model.
Curiously, rear-seat legroom only increases by 2.7 inches, as the rear seat is relocated about 2.4 inches forward in the car and lowered a bit. The move boosts rear headroom by 0.3 inch (and shoulder room by a smidge), and it should reduce the degree to which rear-suspension inputs perturb those occupying the heated rear thrones. Among its chief rivals, only the stretched BMW 7-series trumps the A8 L for leg-crossing spaciousness.
All stretched A8s come standard with rear-seat sunshades, a navigation system, heated seats, and Audi's electronic stability program (ESP) -- all of which stretches the base price by $6195 to $69,946. This year all A8s get new Sideguard curtain airbags, a third shoulder belt in the rear seat, new softer Valcona leather upholstery (were the old nappa hides considered tough?), electroluminescent gauge lighting, and a mild restyling of the bumpers, headlights, and decklid. And despite all of that, the price of the base A8 4.2 Quattro is down $3519 to $63,751 (the 3.7-liter front-drive model has been retired).
Our A8 L was 119 pounds porkier than the Audi contestant in our November comparo, but at the track, the L did the 60-mph dash in just 6.6 seconds, besting the shorter car by 0.4 second. Our test car's $1050 optional 17-inch Goodyear Eagle LS tires helped halt 70-mph progress in just 180 feet, and they glommed onto the skidpad with 0.81 g of grip. (The squeally ContiTouring Contacts employed on our last A8's 17-inch wheel upgrade took 202 feet to stop and generated only 0.77 g.) Longtime readers will recall that we've hurled abuse at previous Audis shod with Eagle LSs. Come to think of it, we can't recall a single A8 that didn't need a tire-ectomy. But the Goodyear folks have tweaked the rubber chemistry and construction, and the result is that these new ones are quiet and grippy at the limit without compromising ride quality. An 18-inch wheel package is also offered.
Stability-enhancement technology is added this year to help wring the maximum dynamic benefit from those new tires. ESP is standard on L models and a $550 option on base A8s. We only managed to engage the system in a few extremely overcooked sharp turns. In each case, it curbed the inevitable understeer quite effectively.
Hustling down any less-traveled byway, this newly shod Audi seems much better equipped to compete with the likes of BMW's 740iL. It still lacks the Bimmer's bionic steering feel, but it responds to the helm almost as eagerly, and it can be placed with a similar degree of accuracy. It's considerably faster than the 740iL we tested last November, and with all four wheels scrabbling under the watchful eye of ESP, one can summon more power on corner exits with greater confidence, especially in wet conditions.
Our biggest gripe is with the A8 L's $735 Acoustic Parking System, which could be quite an asset when mooring such a long car. But the system is calibrated way too conservatively. As the car creeps toward an obstacle, urgent beeps rise in frequency, culminating in a solid tone when the gap shrinks to eight inches in front, or a whopping 16 inches in back. Consequently, we tuned it out as we would the shrill ranting of a nervous back-seat driver. Tell us when we're three or four inches away, or skip it.
The Audi A8 has always seemed special. Precious. From its aluminum construction to its tiny sales volume (just 2481 sold here in 1999), this is no people's luxocruiser. Now it's more comfortable and better to drive. That's progress.

The British are coming to Turkey. In recent years, more and more foreigners have been buying properties in the country -- from 73,000 in 2008 to 104,000 today. And Britons make up almost a third of the number, more than any other group.
A record 32,000 own, in total, 6 million square metres of the 63 million square metres of foreign-owned property in Turkey. They are followed by the Germans, who own 3.5 million square metres.
There are several reasons for Turkey's popularity among Britons, among them the sandy beaches on the Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Sea coasts and the country's accessibility from the UK. Another point in Turkey's favour is that as it is not yet in the eurozone, many property prices are fixed in sterling. House prices are generally more affordable and the cost of living is lower.

Today marks the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month, and what better way to celebrate than getting fresh with some new footwear. Thankfully, the adidas SPEEDFACTORY has teamed up with Foot Locker’s new Greenhouse sneaker incubator program to release a limited edition set of AM4 colorways designed by three creatives representing Latinx culture.
The shoes were designed by M. Tony Peralta of The Peralta Project, conceptual artist Lucia Hierro and Bryan Avila who many may know as The Producer BDB. All three creatives have their own specific style, with Dominican-bred Peralta paying tribute to the Lechones of Carnival in Santiago where his mother was born, Hierro who’s also of Dominican heritage opting for a traditional dish of platanos as inspo and finally Avila representing for his Mexican roots with a design inspired by the blue agaves that famously only grow in Jalisco, Mexico.

We left Will & Lindsey (still bickering) at Bridge Camp and drove about 250km east to Chipata (30km from the Malawi border). The first 100km or so was typical African wide sky, forested landscape.
For the latter 150km the landscape changed to undulating hills with the occasional peak to the south east. Lovely. What makes it even more picturesque is the quality of the light and the cloud formations.
Even if the roads were good enough to travel at more than 50mph / 80kph, why on earth would you rush through a landscape like that?
The few small towns we pass are typical of the region. People just getting by – entrepreneurs wherever you look, making a living out of anything they can sell. Grateful that someone (usually a telecom company) will pay to paint their store in corporate, sponsored colours.
And still, everywhere at the roadside, bags of charcoal being sold as the only fuel available to the everyday man.
It’s easy to say that it needs to be stopped, but it has provided a livelihood for generations of families and unless an alternative source of income is demonstrated, people aren’t going to give it up for some do-gooder, sanctimonious, ‘tourist’ passing through.
There has to be a way of getting Fuel Briquettes to work here.
After 5 hours driving we stopped overnight at Mama Rulah’s campsite in Chipata since South Luangwa (where we were headed) was another 120km on roads that we had heard were notoriously bad. The camp was cheap and clean enough, but nothing to write home about.
In fact, the next morning, the 120km road to the Park gate at South Luangwa was probably the best road we have traveled in Africa (12 months old, new tar, 10m wide).
The only marks on it are the discarded sugar-cane stalks from the school-kids who walk 6-10km each way to school every day with a 500mm stalk of sugar-cane for breakfast / lunch.
If it hadn’t been for the fact we needed cash and fuel (and Chipata is the last place before Mfuwe to get either) we could have just continued the previous day.
South Luangwa was beautiful.
We intended to stay overnight and in the end stayed 4 days. We tried Flatdogs Camp (Flatdogs is a local term for the low-slung, ground-hugging crocodile around here) but they have gone up-market as a lodge and stopped camping a year or two ago.
Very welcoming though. We stopped there for a chat and a coffee and they recommended Wildlife Camp, a project where 60% of accommodation income goes to the local community.
We lucked-out. What a great spot.
Panorama view downriver from The Penthouse after sunset from our camp on the Luangwa River.
An equally fabulous view from the roof-tent up river…
How could you not sleep peacefully nodding off to that?
Most of the tracks in the park are impassable at this time of the year (tail-end of the wet season ) but the all-weather roads are still ok and allow good sightings of waterbuck, hippo, elephant, springbok, occasional leopard, etc.
That said, from our pole-position camping pitch on the river we saw most of that without moving a muscle. Buffalo who set out across the river then turned back when they saw crocs…
…and fishermen who use the most primitive of hollowed-out logs to fish (then take the catch to market on their bikes)…
For a bit of added excitement, the quiet, traditional bar at the Lodge…
…is a 3/4 mile walk along the unfenced riverbank from the the campsite (far right of the picture below)…
That means a walk along the same river-front that elephants walk daily, crocs sneak about, hippos spray shit, giraffe gallop and lions patrol.
You’ve got to really need a beer to consider walking it at dusk. In broad daylight it still keeps you on your toes.
Actually, it’s just as good to sit at camp and watch the world (and the weather) go by. The world may not change quickly round here, but the weather certainly does. In no time, good dirt / sand tracks can become impassible for weeks.
11am on our 3rd day…
Eleven minutes later…
Since we’d had the car checked over by Foleys in Livingstone I’d noticed a whining noise, that appeared to be coming from the transmission (rather than the passenger seat).
Given my acknowledged mechanical expertise, I just hoped it would go away (or we’d get it sorted out once we got to Malawi). Helene convinced me to get a chap from the local workshop to look it over.
It turned out that the Universal Joints on the prop shaft were (technical term) ‘buggered‘ according to Moffat.
We took Moffat and his pal in the car to his village at the back-end of Mfuwe (most of the way spent driving sideways in the mud after the rains), where the guys went to work removing the propshaft and replacing the UJ’s.
Naturally, I supervised the delicate operation.
Helene did her normal amazing job of entertaining the village kids…
Ninety minutes of ‘Old McDonald‘ and ‘Hands, Knees & Toes‘…
She really is exceptional with people (especially kids).
She was exhausted
She has eyes they trust not to be cynical or patronising.
Worthwhile keeping them entertained though. As Moffat said, “If someone doesn’t keep them amused they’ll steal your tools – I should know, they’re my kids“.

When it comes to residential pumps, you can't afford to be stuck with the wrong one. You might think that all pumps are created equal, but that's not the case. This is especially true where your home is concerned. If you're not sure that you need new pumps on your property, you'll find important reasons to invest in new pumps as soon as possible below.
Your Pool Pump Isn't Effective
If you've got a swimming pool on your property, you know how important it is to maintain the water. The best way to ensure proper maintenance is to start with the right pump. The wrong pool pump can leave you with some serious problems. First, pump problems can leave you with dirty water. Unfortunately, dirty water increases pest activity, especially where mosquitoes are concerned. Second, the wrong pump might operate too loudly, which can interfere with the quiet enjoyment of your pool. That's where a quality pump comes into play. The right pump will keep your pool clean and sanitary. It will also provide quiet operation, which will eliminate the unnecessary pump noise.
Your Home Is in Bushfire Territory
If your home is located in an area that's prone to bushfires, you've got to be prepared. Without proper firefighting precautions, you might not be able to keep the flames away from your property. That's where a new pump comes into the picture. When you have the right pumps on your property, you can transfer the water you need to battle the bushfires. To make them more effective, you should include underground water storage containers, as well. That way, you have access to the pumps and the water you need to keep the flames away from your home.
You've Got a Lot of Water to Move
If you operate a farm or ranch, you need to be able to move water around quickly and efficiently. That's difficult to do when you don't have access to the right pumps. Unfortunately, without access to water, your crops and your animals will suffer. That's why you need to invest in the right pumps for your property. High-performance pumps will move water to the areas you need it the most.
You're Worried About Floodwater
If you're located on a floodplain, or in an area that's been affected by the recent fires, you need to be concerned about flooding. Torrential rains can send floodwaters flowing right towards your home. Unfortunately, without the right preparations, your home and property may be destroyed, which is why you need to invest in residential high-performance pumps. Once you install pumps on your property, you'll be able to remove the floodwater before it has a chance to destroy your home.
To learn more about pumps, including Davey pumps, talk to a local plumber.

Religious solitaries were a feature of the English spiritual landscape ‘from the dawn of Christianity in England until the sixteenth century’ but, since Rotha Clay (who wrote those words) attempted her overarching survey almost a century ago, coverage of their history has been decidedly patchy.(1) It is less so now, thanks to Tom Licence’s important new book.
Nuremberg in the later Middle Ages was one of the most prominent cities in central Europe: a free Imperial city, the location of the imperial regalia and the place where Imperial Diets were held, it was also a wealthy centre of economic life, one of the largest cities in German-speaking Europe, and an important manufacturer of many industrial products, in particular weapons.
Michel Foucault famously described sodomy as an utterly confused category. The same could be said for marriage, especially during the Middle Ages, as the two studies under review demonstrate. Like sodomy, marriage is a category traversing several fields – law, culture, religion – that bites into people’s flesh.
David Nirenberg’s Anti-Judaism: The Western Tradition is an impressive scholarly accomplishment that matches a dauntingly large subject matter with a vast vault of personal knowledge. At 474 pages and 13 chapters covering more than 3000 years, it is thorough without being exhaustive.
The work of Mary Carruthers is well known to students of medieval culture. Her Book of Memory charted discussions of memory from antiquity to the late Middle Ages, treading in the footsteps of Frances Yates in arguing that memory was not just another concept in the minds of medieval writers, but a conceptual motor for the organisation and motivation of thought.
The period of medieval intellectual history covered by this book, primarily the 12th and 13th centuries, is one that has received considerable attention for well over a century. The main question, then, is what does Ian Wei bring to this subject that has not been done before, or how has he reshaped it? The answer is he has done much in both respects.
Contemporary interest in the period of the Crusades has intensified in the last decade or so, partly because of the inflammatory invocations of holy war and jihad made immediately after the traumatic events of 9/11.
Many scholars regard the history of magic as peripheral to mainline history, a lunatic fringe of the past which can be overlooked without sacrificing any understanding of past societies. This study demonstrates that, on the contrary, knowledge and study of magic formed part of scientific study in medieval England.
As this book begins (p. 1), the author marvels how the art of the Wycliffite Bible, one of the most popular books in late medieval England, has not been studied systematically. The answer lies in the historiography of the Wycliffite Bible. Kennedy suggests that the ‘Shadow of the Reformation’ has created a binary view of Wycliffite Bibles, linking them to heresy and illegality.
In a time of prolific and revolutionary authors Hugh of Saint Victor lit up the 12th century with a particularly unique voice, combining an intense passion for teaching with a pragmatic and systematic mind. Out of his large body of work his Mystic Ark has always provided more questions than answers.

music insauga: Huge Cosmic
Published February 11, 2014 at 5:08 am
With such powerful and large songs it’s surprising that Huge Cosmic only consists of two guys that like to make sound with instruments. But it’s really much more than that.
Huge Cosmic combines elements of gritty alternative rock noise with synth and electronic sounds that creates an atmosphere for the listener, or can takes one on a journey.
Wavelengths starts out calmly enough with a soft guitar riff and quiet vocals. The song slowly builds with more sounds being added and mixed together and features a unique form that doesn’t follow the typical verse-chorus flow. It subtly moves from one idea to the next, but the progression is seamless.
Among a few other electronic sounds, Wavelengths brings listeners back to the past with the use of that irritating, dial up connection thing that sounds like death. Remember that thing? They actually make it sound good.
Zzz is similar in that it uses new mediums to get its message across while slowly progressing into something huge. Spoken word is implemented in this song, as the speaker’s emotion and dynamics match the constant overlapping of musical textures.

Hy-Vee starts downtown Des Moines store
Construction has begun on downtown’s long-awaited Hy-Vee grocery store.
Knapp Properties erected construction barriers this week around the 2.3-acre parking lot at 420 Court Ave. The store is scheduled to open in November 2016, said Knapp CEO Gerry Neugent.
The $30 million project will include a 35,000-square-foot grocery store, 82 apartments above the store, a two-story parking ramp and space for a possible second phase of housing.
Offering the only full-service grocery store in downtown Des Moines, the project has been a flashpoint in real estate and downtown circles.
Many downtown residents have cheered the project, while restaurant owners and other stakeholders have questioned the wisdom of placing a chain grocery store in the historic Court Avenue entertainment district.
The project also adds to buzzing construction activity in the area. Sidewalks are closed across the street from the Hy-Vee site, where the Hotel Randolph and two adjacent buildings are being renovated into apartments.
Neugent said the team behind the Hy-Vee project intends to keep the sidewalks and street lanes open during most of construction.
The development has eliminated a parking lot used during the Downtown Farmers’ Market, but should not otherwise affect market vendors whose stands border the lot, he said.

NEXT MEETING IN BELGIUM
Arts for all?
The role of arts schools in current society
Arts4all meeting: Sunday, 8th November to Tuesday, 10th November 2015, Diest, BE & Pre-Opening: Saturday, 7th to Sunday 8th November 2015, Mons, European Capital of Culture, BE
The last EU youth report has come to many positive results. The rate of youngsters between 15 and 29 years who reached higher education degrees, for example increased from 33.8% to 37.9%. Also are 82% taking part in social networks, 50% are members of organisations, 25% are engaged in voluntary work. On the other hand there are 13.7 Mio. youngsters in Europe who are neither in education nor in work. The risk of being unemployed for youngsters with migration backgrounds, health problems and lower education is 50% higher than it is for others in the same ages. The report states that those youngsters are also participating less in politics, culture and voluntary activities. It describes an increasing gap, which is connected with the European crises. There are well-educated youngsters, taking part in society on the one hand and on the other, there are young people with less chance to participate and to live the life they want to. Those young people are threated to be discriminated and marginalized.
Arts education strengthens the subject and helps children to find their own talents. Arts schools and centers of creativity as part of the infrastructure of arts education in Europe ensure cultural education for young people beside the formal school sectors. The societal changes stated above influence questions of participation, accessibility, educational goals, content, diversity politics, learning methods, cooperation partners and digital strategies of arts schools. Remembering the UNESCO development goals on arts education, we will ask, if our institutions are fit for contemporary challenges. What frame conditions do we need to support the right to learn arts for and with everybody on high levels of quality? What are good concepts and examples that might be able to be models for other art schools in Europe?
The voluntary pre-opening meeting in Mons, capital of culture 2015 will be connected with the youth exchange “I is another”, that had been developed within the Arts4all network. Youngsters from Mons, Brugge, Riga, Aachen and Munster will present their results after one week of art workshops. There will also be time to explore the Capital of Culture together.
Accomodation & Costs in Mons
7th November, 14.00 o’clock to 8th November 14.00 o’clock (train to Diest leaves 14.20)
There won’t be founding for the pre-opening in Mons. Hence, we ask you to take care for food, accommodation, entry fees and so on yourself. The journey from Mons to Diest (by train) is 7.60 Euro per Person.
Accomodation & Costs in Diest,
8th November, 17. 00 o’clock to 10th November, 14.00 o’clock
Thanks to a cooperation of several (art)schools and a socio-cultural organisation of Diest – coordinated by OVSG – we can accommodate you in host families in the center of the city of Diest, provide breakfast at host families, an opening dinner, sandwich lunches and conference drinks.

Meeting Point for the Pre-Opening in Mons is on Saturday, 7th November, 14 o'clock at the reception of Les Auberge des Jeunesse, Rampe du Château 2.
70 participants at Arts4all meeting in Riga
70 representatives from eight different nations attended the last arts4all meeting from 3rd to 5th October 2014 at the new national library of Latvia "Castle of Light" in Riga, which has been built on the occasion of the European Capital of Culture Riga 2014. That was the highest number of participants since 2005, when the network had been established. Besides international lectures, best practice presentations and discussion about intercultural perspectives in European arts schools, participants discussed the European capital of culture Riga 2014 with program director Aiva Rozenberga, visited three arts schools in Riga and took part in 9th international children’s and youth art exhibition "stories of today" and it’s opening ceremony.
The conference "About wall and bridges. Arts education as intercultural education" had been organized by Maras Muižnieces Arts School Riga, the Federal Association of Youth Art Schools in Germany, the State Association of Youth Art Schools in North Rhine-Westphalia and the Finnish Association of Art Schools for children and young people.
For the very first time, the Arts4all meeting also inspired the youth arts exchange project "Walls and Bridges. Stories of Love and Hate, Likes and Dislikes" of Arts Schools in Minster, Aachen and Riga. Founded by the Ministry for Family, Children, Youth, Culture and Sport of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and planned by the State Association of Youth Art Schools in North Rhine-Westphalia Latvian and German youngsters met in Hellenthal/Eifel and in Riga in order to work out together their likes and dislikes within different artistic disciplines.


Minutes ago, the Bruins announced that Charlie Coyle would not be playing in tonight’s game against the Washington Capitals due to COVID Protocols.
Charlie Coyle will not play in tonight's game (COVID-19 protocols). #NHLBruins— Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) March 3, 2021
As for what that means to the lineup, there has been no announcement made yet on who will replace him. Coyle is the second player on the B’s to get dinged for the ‘Rona, as Karson Kuhlman began the season with it. COVID testing has been a round-the-clock measure for the league, and has especially been a major concern in the East Division, where at one point the Devils shaved several days off the B’s schedule by failing to contain an ongoing outbreak that has since been handled.
Whether or not it’s a false positive or not, we wish Coyle all the best and a full, safe recovery.

**Update on story, 05/26/2011:
Disney has decided to withdraw its trademark filing for SEAL team 6. After pressure from the military and realizing it was a stupid idea, Disney did the only thing it could.
Never let an opportunity go buy to capitalize on something.
The Walt Disney Company is taking this to the extreme.
Disney is planning on trademarking the term "seal team 6."
Are we kidding? If this is allowed to go through, what's next? Any military or government run organization? The whole idea is ludicrous and is completely disrespectful to our men and women in uniform. That somehow a company can make millions of dollars off of a military outfit's name.
This is completely different than making movies or selling clothes resembling the military. This will be the first time in memory where a United States military name was allowed to be trademarked.
Shame on Disney for even thinking about doing such a thing. All they have is dollars signs in their eyes, thinking nothing of the pain and sacrifice that the real SEAL Team 6 has gone through.
We hope this money-hungry grab at a name and current event by Disney is denied.
We urge you to write your congress representative to oppose such a willful disregard for the United States military!

One By One, Companies Cut Ties With The NRA
Updated at 6:35 p.m. ET Saturday
As a groundswell grows against the National Rifle Association in the aftermath of last week's school massacre in Parkland, Fla., several businesses say they are ending their partnerships with the gun advocacy group.
The brands — ranging from insurance companies to airlines to rental car agencies — announced their decisions on social media, many apparently in direct response to tweets demanding change under the trending hashtag #boycottNRA.
Activists are seeking to name and shame business affiliates of the group.
On its website the NRA says, "It pays to be a member! Get back hundreds of dollars more than you pay in dues" and offers "benefits" running the gamut from home and auto insurance to prescription drug discounts to the "Official Wine Club of the NRA."
By Saturday, Delta and United Airlines both joined a growing list of companies distancing themselves from the NRA. Both said they would no longer offer discounts to members.
Delta is reaching out to the NRA to let them know we will be ending their contract for discounted rates through our group travel program. We will be requesting that the NRA remove our information from their website.— Delta (@Delta) February 24, 2018
United is notifying the NRA that we will no longer offer a discounted rate to their annual meeting and we are asking that the NRA remove our information from their website.— United Airlines (@united) February 24, 2018
First National Bank of Omaha got the ball rolling on Thursday when it announced via tweet that it "will not renew its contract with the National Rifle Association to issue the NRA Visa Card." It was responding to a tweet saying "Please END your relationship with the @NRA. #NRABloodOnYourHands." The bank said "customer feedback" spurred it to review its relationship.
Customer feedback has caused us to review our relationship with the NRA. As a result, First National Bank of Omaha will not renew its contract with the National Rifle Association to issue the NRA Visa Card.— First National Bank of Omaha (@fnbo) February 22, 2018
A day later, Symantec, the cybersecurity company, said it had halted its NRA discount program.
Symantec has stopped its discount program with the National Rifle Association.— Symantec (@symantec) February 23, 2018
About an hour after that, insurance company MetLife followed suit, tweeting, "We value all our customers but have decided to end our discount program with the NRA."
We value all our customers but have decided to end our discount program with the NRA.— MetLife (@MetLife) February 23, 2018
Then rental car companies hopped on board. Enterprise Holdings, which owns and operates car rental agencies Alamo, Enterprise and National, announced via tweets Friday from each brand's account that by March 26, it would sever its NRA member discount program.
Thank you for contacting us! All three of our brands have ended the discount for NRA members. This change will be effective March 26. Thank you again for reaching out. Kind regards, Michael— EnterpriseRentACar (@enterprisecares) February 23, 2018
Hertz's move came later in the day.
We have notified the NRA that we are ending the NRA’s rental car discount program with Hertz.— Hertz (@Hertz) February 23, 2018
And the list went on.
On Tuesday, ThinkProgress, a project of the left-leaning Center for American Progress Action Fund, published a listof some two dozen "corporate partners" that offer incentives to NRA members. ThinkProgess says it asked all of the corporations "whether they plan to continue their relationships with the gun lobby. A growing number of those companies have ended their relationship with the NRA since this list was initially published."
By their count, more than a dozen have already ended their relationships.
Company spokespeople reached by NPR would not elaborate on the announcements.
In a statement released Saturday, the NRA said the companies were punishing NRA members, "in a shameful display of political and civic cowardice. In time, these brands will be replaced by others who recognize that patriotism and determined commitment to Constitutional freedoms are characteristics of a marketplace they very much want to serve."
The statement went on, "Let it be absolutely clear. The loss of a discount will neither scare nor distract one single NRA member from our mission to stand and defend the individual freedoms that have always made America the greatest nation in the world."
Many social media users have maintained their support for the group, which says it has 5 million members. Some said they would boycott the companies severing ties with the NRA.
The Huffington Postreports that several companies are continuing to stick by the NRA.
But it is not a novelty for companies to distance themselves from the group after mass shootings.
ThinkProgress reports Wyndham Worldwide stopped offering NRA discounts after a pressure campaign in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012.
But the parent company of major hotel brands including Travelodge, Howard Johnson, Ramada and Days Inn emphasized the distance by tweeting Friday that it "is no longer affiliated with the NRA."
Hello Elaine. Please know, Wyndham is no longer affiliated with the NRA.— Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (@WyndhamHotels) February 23, 2018
NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre addressed the annual Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday and spoke of "the breakneck speed for gun control laws," following the Florida shooting. "As usual, the opportunists wasted not one second to exploit tragedy for political gain," he said.
Meanwhile, some teachers in Florida were unsettled to learn earlier this week that the retirement funds to which they've been contributing invest in the gun company that produced the weapon used in the Parkland attack. Bloomberg News reports the Florida Retirement System Pension Plan held more than 41,000 shares in American Outdoor Brands Corp. (formerly Smith & Wesson), maker of the AR-15 rifle used by the shooter.
The president of the Florida teachers union has called for the fund to divest itself of shares. But The Washington Post reports that a spokesman with the state pension fund said that is unlikely to happen anytime soon.
On Wednesday, at a CNN town hall, Florida Sen. Marco Rubiobroke with an NRA stance when he announced he would support raising the age from 18 to 21 for "buying a rifle." He was responding to a question from student survivor Cameron Kasky. However, during the same exchange, Rubio refused to say he would renounce NRA donations. (Rubio has earned the NRA's highest rating, A+.)
Demonstrations by Stoneman Douglas survivors have mobilized students across the country, who have been protesting, staging school walkouts and calling on legislators to act.
"March for Our Lives," a national rally, is planned in Washington, D.C., on March 24.
