Devon residents have expressed their disgust as people are continuing to travel to Dartmoor despite the national lockdown restrictions.
According to the BBC, Dartmoor National Park authorities are "appalled and upset" that people from as far as London have been visiting during lockdown.
Ranger Rob Steemson said they had been liaising with the police about the number of visitors over the weekend, reports the BBC.
Last week, DevonLive reported that police had been turning cars around on Dartmoor, describing it as "busier than a summer's day".
One police officer on patrol in the area today said Burrator Reservoir was packed, and many cars were turned around - whilst others out and about were "educated" on what is expected of them amidst the restrictions.
According to the BBC, Devon and Cornwall Police and Crime Commissioner Alison Hernandez said: "They're [Dartmoor National Park] really concerned that they're seeing visitors from Exeter, even London, still coming down and using our outside space."
The national park said even though some popular car parks were "about 50% full" over the weekend and it was quieter than normal at this time of year, it was busier than "expected for the new lockdown".
It comes after the latest Government figures revealed that there were 2,029 new cases of Covid-19 recorded across Devon in the seven days to January 7.
According to the Government's website, you must not leave, or be outside of your home except where necessary. You may leave the home to:
You must not leave, or be outside of your home except where necessary. You may leave the home to:
- shop for basic necessities, for you or a vulnerable person
- go to work, or provide voluntary or charitable services, if you cannot reasonably do so from home
- exercise with your household (or support bubble) or one other person, this should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area.
- meet your support bubble or childcare bubble where necessary, but only if you are legally permitted to form one
- seek medical assistance or avoid injury, illness or risk of harm (including domestic abuse)
- attend education or childcare - for those eligible
If you do leave home for a permitted reason, you should always stay local - unless it is necessary to go further, for example to go to work. Stay local means stay in the village, town, or part of the city where you live.

Mack Allison has lived in his house since 1976. He has watched his property taxes increase every year. But he is fed up with recent appraisals. When Mack opened up his mail this week, he found out the value of his house jumped $6,970 from last year.
"We haven't done anything to the house. We put a new roof on it four years ago and we keep it painted. That's all we've done," he said.
Mack e-mailed Councilman Gary Boren to ask for direction. Actually, a lot of people have. "A cabinet full and that's not counting all the phone calls," stated Boren.
Boren answered Mack with this advice: protest. So he tried, but to no avail. "They just weren't going to do it," said Mack.
Mack was told by the Central Appraisal District that the houses in his neighborhood were selling for more and there was no basis to protest. But Mack feels there is more behind the story. You see, beginning October first, senior citizens property valuations will freeze. "Senior citizens of Lubbock they doubled the taxes so they can get their increase for next year. It's not discriminating, but they're picking on us," he said.
Mack's not giving up his fight. Boren suggests no one should. "This is something people don't do everyday. If it comes down to helping people save money, I 'm going to do everything I can to help them," says Boren
Dave Kimbrough with the LCAD said age is not a factor when appraising property values.

Can anyone help identifying these 7.9x57mm headstamps? I know Hirtenberger Patronen- Zundhutchen-und Metallwarenfabrik 0f Austria liked to use stars and asterisks. The 1914 one might be one of their products?? The
Phil - regarding the first headstamp you show, with two stars and a split 1914 date, it is always listed as unknown. I suspect, but cannot prove in any way, that it is a product of Louis Dieu & Cie, Paris, France. There is a variation of the 7.9 heastamp - two stars at approximately 10 O’Clock and 2 O’Clock, and 1914 at the bottom, that is certainly from the same manufacturer as the 7.9. Further, Louis Dieu made both calibers also with a headstamp of * L.D.P. * and a date at the bottom, which in the case of the 7.9, is “88” and certainly represents the model of the Mauser Rifle Model 1888, rather than the date of manufacture of the cartridge. We know this not just from the nationality, but from other L.D.P. headstamps such as 7 x 57 where the “date” is “93” the same date as the Model date for many 7 x 57 Mausers. This is just a guess and a gosh, as I have said. Officially, the headstamp is unknown.
Regarding your “21” headstamp, everyone wants to make this a code. In my opinion, it is the date of manufacture. Picture a four-place German headstamp with three places removed! I base this on several things, but one thing in particular. My first rounds with the “21” headstamp are empty cases, one primed with a very large, nickeled (? - silver in color) primer - much larger than any other primer ever used in a 7.9 cartridge to my knowledge. The other is the same case unprimed, showing the primer pocket formed as a step for a flange, and then bored straight through making a very large flash hole about the size of the diameter of a normal primer. Perhaps experimenting for a short range gallery load propelled only by the primer? Then I have a Model 88 (CNCS RN bullet - perhaps a full-patch sporting round rather than a true M88) with “21” also. My next round has a headstamp of “22” and that’s why I am sure it is a date. I discount the bullet in it, which is a spitzer FMJ because I believe these rounds to be German, and the bullet is GM (non-magnetic). However, I have to state that the neck crimp looks perfectly undisturbed, so…? My fifth and final round has a bullet exactly like the one you show, but the date is "22
John: The lower cartridge is utterly new to me and while I too feel the case is German and of probably 1921 manufacture, isn’t the use of gilding metal as jacketing material very atypical of German practice at that time? JG
My “21” is also a GM-SP, and that is all I have ever seen with that headstamp. As John mentioned, I also believe the bullets in most of the “21” or “22” cases are not connected to the original case manufacturer, but were loaded at a later date into available cases.
J.G. - you are absolutely right that a GM bullet is atypical for German manufacture. It should be GMCS. That’s precisely why I said that “I discount the bullet,” but did explain that the crimp didn’t look disturbed. While I don’t think it is an original bullet to the case - even to what happened to the cases later, since I think Jon is basically correct about these cases being loaded later - it was only fair to mention that the crimp looks o.k. since my opinion of the bullet is just that, opinion. Aside from the fact that most German bullets (not all) are either GMCS or CNCS, I have no documentation about these rounds so everything is an educated guess. Well, maybe in my case, not even “educated.”
John: I realized you weren’t absolutely convinced the bullet was loaded at the time the case was made. Even without the final word here, thanks to you and to Phil for the show and tell. JG
Thanks again for the comments. Back they go into the “Unknown” box.
I forgot to mention: the 19 * 14 * is CNCS and the 21 is GMCS SP.
John, let me precise that LOUIS DIEU & Co., Paris was only a retailer for cartridges made otherwhere, mostly from S.F.M., and never manufactured ammo by himself. He was active before WWI and probably some times after.
A funny connotation is an existing box of 32 ACP (7,65 mm Bwg) labelled:
“LOUIS DIEU, Paris” and " for DEMON pistol" !!!
(as you know, Dieu is the French word for God…!)
Phil - thank you for the information. Do you know what headstamp was on the L.D.P.-sold .32 Auto rounds you mentioned? Do you know who actually made the L.D.P. Cartridges in 7,9 Mauser and 7.63 Mauser? Do you have any opinion on whether or not the cartridges with just two stars and a 1914 date in 8 mm Mauser and 7.63 mm Mauser Pistol were made by the same company that made those two calibers with the L.D.P. headstamp?

Young ballet dancers are at risk of health issues associated with altered nutritional status and of relative energy deficiency in sport compared to the general population.
To evaluate the nutritional status and body composition in ballet dancers.
Materials and methods
The study group consisted of 40 young ballet dancers (mean age 19.97 years). Height and weight were measured and body mass index was calculated in all subjects (mean BMI value 19.79 kg/m2, SD: 2.051). Body composition was estimated using the bioelectrical impedance method.
The dancers’ fat-free mass was 47.33 kg (SD: 5.064) and, on the average, body fat represented the 15.92% (SD: 16.91) of their body weight.
Ballet dancers, who usually show significantly lower BMI values compared to the general population, also displayed body fat values under the suggested range. Some screening for altered nutritional status should be performed. In addition, education programs should be recommended in young ballet dancers, in order to inform about energy and nutrition requirements for health and training and to prevent malnutrition-related problems.
There is a strong need for a non-invasive measurement technique that is capable of accurately identifying the physiological condition change or heterogeneity of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) by localizing the abnormalities within the compartment. This paper aims to investigate the feasibility of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) to assess the interstitial fluid in subcutaneous adipose tissue as an enhancement method of bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS). Here, we demonstrate the preliminary result of EIT with a wearable 16 electrodes sensor. The image-based reference EIT with fat weighted threshold method is proposed. In order to evaluate the performance of our novel method, a physiological swelling experiment is conducted, and Multi-Frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (MFBIA) is also applied as a comparison with EIT results. The experimental results showed that the proposed method was able to distinguish the physiological swelling condition and effectively to remove the unexpected background noise. Furthermore, the conductivity variation in the subcutaneous layer had a good correlation with extracellular water volume change from MFBIA data; the correlation coefficient R2 = 0.927. It is concluded that the proposed method provides a significant prospect for SAT assessment.

Budapest mayor Gergely Karacsony on Saturday announced his bid to become the prime minister candidate for Hungary’s six opposition parties which are trying to forge an alliance to take on Prime Minister Viktor Orban in national elections next year.
Earlier this week, the Hungarian opposition said it would hold the country’s first ever primary elections this year to pick joint candidates to contest the 2022 ballot, a move that could threaten Orban’s more than decade-long grip on power.
Hardline nationalist Orban and his Fidesz party have scored three successive landslides since 2010 largely due to an election system that favours large parties as, until now, the opposition has been fragmented and unable to cooperate.
“Full of faith and hope, accepting the backing of the parties supporting me … I can declare that I will run for prime minister candidate in the opposition primaries,” Karacsony said in a video on Facebook.
“I have made this decision as I feel that my country is in grave danger,” he said. “We feel less and less that Hungary is one and indivisible,” the 45-year-old Karacsony said, adding that he would aim to reunite the country.
Karacsony, as the candidate of a small green liberal party, unseated the Fidesz incumbent in municipal elections in 2019. He has said that the opposition cooperation in those elections could serve as a blueprint to unseat Orban.
A survey by the pollster Median published earlier this week put support for Orban’s ruling Fidesz party at 40% of all voters, while the joint opposition party list was backed by 36% of the electorate. (Reporting by Gergely Szakacs. Editing by Jane Merriman)


It seems like every time I post pictures after a show and promise to write something the next day, I never do it. So in an effort to make this blog something other than a mediocre-concert photo blog, here are some quick thoughts about tonight’s early National show at the 9:30 Club.
Thought #1: I hope that The National isn’t falling into the same trap that Wilco has fallen into the last few years – i.e., playing nearly identical sets night after night and tour after tour. Yeah, they did play three new songs (all of which sounded great), but beyond that it was pretty much the exact same setlist we’ve seen them play for a few years now, with only one song that I can recall pre-dating Alligator (“All The Wine”). I’m fine if they feel they need to play “Abel” and “Mr. November” every night, but I sure would love to hear “Cold Girl Fever”, “Theory of the Crows”, or “Slipping Husband” at some point.
Thought #2: Speaking of songs I’d love to hear, I was really disappointed that they didn’t play either “Santa Clara” from last year’s Virginia EP or “So Far Around The Bend” off of the recent Dark Was The Night compilation. Personally, I think those are two of the best songs the band has written, and I’ve been looking forward to seeing them live for a while. Guess I’ll have to wait a while longer.
Thought #3: The band is currently touring with a full-time 3-piece horn section, which includes opening act Colin Stetson on saxophone. While it’s an interesting idea, it was a little uneven in execution. There were songs where I thought the horns sounded great (e.g., “About Today”), but there were far more where I found that they overwhelmed the rest of the music (e.g., “Slow Show”). I’m sure this was more of an issue with the mix than anything, but I do hope they work it out before too long.
Thought #4: Who’s in charge of the air conditioning at the 9:30 Club, and why haven’t they been fired? It was unbearably hot in the club tonight. It didn’t take a whole lot to figure out that a sold out club + 80 degree weather + 90% humidity would make things uncomfortable without A/C. Yet the A/C was either turned off or barely functioning. To be fair, I suppose I need to look at the 9:30 Club a long-term project – to their credit, I think they’ve improved the sound on the floor quite a bit in the last year, and they’ve also greatly increased sight-lines by moving the PAs. I can only hope that the A/C is next on the list of things to fix.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan High School Athletic Association is making it easier to build some teams with students from two or more schools.
The goal is to help kids compete if there’s a history of low participation at a school. The sports are baseball, bowling, competitive cheer, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis and wrestling.READ MORE: Amazon Scammers Stole Over $27M From Consumers In A Year

Is the Sony a7 II still worth buying in 2023? Getting into full frame photography can be expensive. So it’s well worth considering an older camera if it can still produce the goods. And whether this is the way to experience the wonder of the full frame for yourself.
So, let’s have a look at the Sony a7 II in more detail. Its strengths and weaknesses, and whether we think it’s still a good buy for you today. Read on to see what we think!

Sony a7 II Overview and Specifications
Sony a7 II
The Sony a7 II (ILCE-7M2) is a full frame
Sony designed this camera as an all-around, general-purpose camera. It is offered alongside the specialized a7R II and a7S II. In the Sony lineup, the R-series has a higher resolution. And the S-series features low-light performance and video.
Since the release of the a7 II, Sony has upgraded each of the cameras in this series at least once. The company has also introduced the a9 and a9 II cameras. These are designed for sports and action photography. The newest edition to the Alpha range is their flagship camera, the Sony a1.
All cameras in the Alpha series are professional or semi-professional full frame cameras. Cameras in this series use the E-mount system. You can safely invest in high-quality E-mount lenses. They’ll work on upgraded camera bodies like the a9 or the Sony a1.
Sony also offers a line of advanced amateur crop sensor cameras. These also use the E-mount system. This makes them attractive backup cameras. That’s because they use the same lenses as their full frame cousins.
But the APS-C bodies are not simply watered-down versions of the full frame systems. Sony often includes its best features in the crop sensor bodies. The newest crop sensor camera is the Sony a6600, released in November 2019. There are rumors there may be a new one released soon.
But is it worth comparing the a7 II with the upgraded a7 III? And what about the newest crop sensor, a6600?
Who Uses the Sony a7 II?
The Sony a7 II is a general-purpose, semi-professional camera. It is for the advanced amateur. It’s for those looking for an entry-level full frame camera. The availability of newer versions of this camera reduces the price.
You can use this camera in most travel, street, and family photography situations. As we will see in the review, the camera has limitations regarding action photography. And photographers who make large prints are better off with the higher resolution a7R II, III, or IV.
What about photographers who do a lot of concert photography or photograph in other low-light situations? They should consider the a7S II or III.
In terms of price, the a7 II is cheaper than the newest crop sensor, the a6600. And it is considerably less than the upgraded a7 III.
Key Features of the Sony a7 II Mirrorless Cameras
Let’s look at some key features of the Sony a7 II. This will help you decide whether this is the camera body for you. We pay particular attention to how this camera compares with the upgraded a7 III and the crop sensor a6600.
Sensor and Image Quality
Sony is one of the world leaders in sensor production. So it’s no surprise that their cameras feature some of the best sensors around. The a7 II has a full frame 24.3 MP Exmor CMOS sensor. This gives a maximum resolution of 4000 x 6000.
The sensor on the a7 III is similar in size (24.2 megapixels). But it uses an improved Exmor R CMOS sensor with back-illuminated (BSI) technology. The a6600 uses a 24.2 MP APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor.
It is easy to mistake more megapixels for better camera quality. But the 24 MP size is a good choice for many cameras. It balances image size with speed.
The flagship Sony a1 model increases sensor size to 50.1 MP. But Sony has kept 24.2 MP sensors on the more expensive a9 series for sports and action photography.
The camera can capture a wide range of light from dark shadows to bright highlights. The Sony cameras are some of the best on the market in terms of dynamic range. And this camera is no exception.
ISO on the a7 II ranges from 100 to 25,600. The results are good up to ISO 6,400. But Sony has improved ISO performance on the newer version of the camera. ISO on the a7 III is double that of the earlier model (100 to 51,200 expandable to 204,800).
In low-light situations, the a7 III gives good results up to ISO 12,800. The ISO performance of the a6600 falls between the two. The camera has an ISO of 100 to 32,000 and is expandable to 102,400.
The a7 II was the first of the a7 series to include in-body image stabilization. It includes 5-axis compensation. This has become standard on Sony cameras. It allows you to handhold the camera at slower shutter speeds. Even at 1/10 s, a good percentage of handheld shots are sharp.
On the a7 models, you can shoot in RAW, JPEG, or both. You can choose between three levels of JPEG quality (standard, fine, or extra-fine quality).
In RAW, you can select 14-bit compressed or uncompressed files. The a6600 creates both JPEG and RAW files, but RAW files are compressed.
In general, the a7 II creates good-quality images at a competitive size. This is even with the more expensive cameras in the Alpha series.
The camera will struggle more at the higher ISOs, but differences are minimal during everyday shooting conditions. The image stabilization is slightly better in the newer models. But the a7 II is almost as good.
Focusing System and Burst Rate
The autofocus system in the a7 II is an improvement from the previous generation. The fast hybrid AF system uses both phase and contrast detection points. This hybrid system is now standard on Sony cameras.
The a7 II includes 117 phase detection and 25 contrast detection autofocus points. Sony has continued to increase its cameras’ AF speed and tracking capabilities.
The upgraded a7 III has 693 phase detection points and 425 contrast detection points. It’s a hybrid AF system. This is a significant and noticeable increase in focusing ability. The newer model focuses faster in general. But it’s especially faster in low-light situations.
The a6600 also has an improved autofocusing system with 425 phase detection points and 425 contrast detection points. The a6600 also includes real-time tracking. This uses AI for faster and more accurate focusing. The camera analyzes colors, patterns, and depth, plus looks for faces and eyes.
Sony has made significant improvements in autofocus speed and tracking. But many photographers find that the autofocusing system in the a7 II is all they need. The extra AF points and tracking capabilities of the a7 III and a6600 are useful when photographing sports and wildlife.
Check out our Wonderful Wildlife e-book to learn how to capture breathtaking photos of animals in their natural habitats!
Face and Eye Detection
The Sony a7 II includes face detection and recognition. The camera’s autofocus works on both animal and human faces. Eye detection is also advertised as a firmware upgrade. But I have never been able to use it.
Eye detection works only in AF-S mode and with some lenses. None of my Sony E-mount lenses work with eye detection. But both the face and eye detection work well on my a7R III.
Continuous shooting frame rate is another area that Sony has improved in newer versions of their cameras. The a7 II has a burst rate of 5 frames per second (fps). This is similar to the frame rate of the original version of the camera. The a7 III increases the burst rate to 10 fps. And the a6600 can shoot at 11 fps.
The newer cameras also have larger buffers. The a7 II can handle about 20 RAW images or 50 JPEGs at full speed. The a7 III can handle 89 RAW photos or 177 JPEGs. The a6600 lies between the two models and can buffer 46 RAW files or 99 JPEG images.
The larger buffer means you can continue to shoot longer bursts on the newer models. The camera continues saving in the background. And you don’t have to wait for the buffer to clear.
This is really only an issue if you shoot wildlife or sports. You may be using the continuous shooting mode over an extended period.
The a7 II shoots Full HD video at 24, 30, and 60 fps in XAVC S format at 50 Mbs. It does not take 4K video like the newer Sony models or the a6600. Both of the a7 models are limited to 29 minutes of video recording. The a6600 records video for as long as the memory card and battery last.
You can use the camera to create short video clips in HD. But the a7S series was created to specialize in low-light photography and video. The a6600 is a better camera for video.
Body and Handling
Sony redesigned the a7 II from the original a7 body. It is slightly larger and heavier than the original. And it has a more substantial grip. It measures 126.9 x 95.7 x 59.7 mm (5 x 3.8 x 2.4 inches) and weighs 556 g (1.22 lb).
Sony largely modeled the newer generations of a7s on the second-generation bodies. But the grip is larger to accommodate larger batteries. The crop sensor body is smaller at 120 x 66.9 x 69.3 mm (4.72 x 2.63 x 2.73in) and lighter at 503 g (1.11 lbs.).
The feel is not significantly different between the a7 III and II. There are more function buttons on the newer versions. And you use a joystick to move focus points and AEL and AF-On buttons.
The more recent version moves the video record button from the side of the camera to a more convenient position near the right thumb. The C3 customization button has moved. And it is controlled by the left thumb.
LCD Screen and Electronic Viewfinder
The Sony a7 II has a 3-inch articulating LCD monitor. It has 1.23M dots of resolution. This is a slightly better resolution than the newer model.
The screen tilts 90 degrees to allow for high- or low-level shooting. There is a slight redesign in the LCD screen. And it makes the newer generation easier to tilt.
But the APS-C cameras’ screens allow for tilt and a 180-degree rotation. This is particularly useful when shooting videos.
Missing from the a7 II are touchscreen capabilities, which are now standard on the more recent a7 models. This is not necessarily a deal-breaker. But it is a sign that this camera is from an older generation of technology.
The a7 II has the same electronic viewfinder as the a7 III. But the newer model has a slightly higher magnification.
The a7 II has only one (UHS-1) card slot. Sony included two card slots in the Alpha series to be competitive with professional-level DSLRs.
The a6000 series continues to have only one card slot. And one card slot is fine for most photographers. Only photographers who need the faster UHS-II card slot or need to back up their images will notice the missing second card slot.
The limited battery life is a known problem with the early Alpha cameras. Using this camera means carrying more batteries and planning for frequent recharging.
Sony has made changes in response to customer experiences. Using the older a7 II means living with known issues. One example is a confusing menu system.
The a7 III improves the menu system. But there are still complaints. The addition of customizable menus in the newer models is helpful. These make finding frequently used features much quicker.
This camera cannot shoot in silent mode. But this feature is available in the a7R II, a7S II, and a7 III cameras. Sony added built-in interval shooting to the a7 III series with a firmware upgrade. The a6600 includes both silent and interval shooting.
For instance, you can take double exposures or simulate long exposures without ND filters. But the PlayMemories camera apps do not work on the newer camera version.
The Sony a7 II is still a good camera. This is especially true if you can find one at a reasonable price. I bought this model shortly after its release and continue to carry it with me as a backup body. The body has stood up to the wear and tear of travel photography with few build issues.
The image quality is good, even in direct comparison to my third-generation bodies. It has nearly the same dynamic range and image stabilization as the newer versions.
The feel is similar to the newer a7 III. The slower focusing system and burst rate do not impact my photography in most situations. But the focusing system struggles in low light. And you may find it challenging to track fast action. Let’s compare the specs for each of the three cameras:
- Sony a7 II: It has a 24.2 full frame sensor, 117 focus points, and a burst rate of 5 fps.
- Sony a7 III: This upgraded camera also has the same sensor. But it has 693 focus points, shoots 4K video, and has a burst mode of 10 fps.
- Sony a6600: It has a 24.2 MP crop sensor, 425 focus points, and a burst rate of 11 fps. But the a6600 is better for video. It shoots 4K and has a screen that rotates 180 degrees.
There are a couple of drawbacks to the a7 II:
- It uses the older, less powerful battery system
- There is only one card slot
- It does not have touchscreen capabilities
But buying a Sony a7 II on sale or used gets you a good, inexpensive full frame
But at full price, the older version may not be as attractive as the a7 III or the a6600. Instead, consider spending the extra money to get the Sony a7 III. Or, for about only slightly more, buy the crop sensor Sony a6600.

Every week, Boost brings you insights straight from the writers in our Creative Network. Writers share tips on how to inject more creativity into ads, best practices for writing ad copy, and more. This week, Dylan Barmmer, pen name “wordisborn” who has been an active writer in the Network for over five years, talks about getting your ads noticed on social media.
Just how “social” social media truly is can be debated for quite some time.
What cannot be questioned, however, is that social media continues to exert ever more influence over Americans’ daily lives.
Including how we receive, process, and consume news.
A recent survey conducted by the Pew Research Center and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation found that nearly two-thirds of Americans (some 62 percent) now get news from social media at least “occasionally.” That figure was also up dramatically from the 49 percent cited in a similar study in 2012.
The survey, entitled “News Usage Across Social Media Platforms 2016,” polled 4,654 respondents in January and February of 2016. It also revealed that 18 percent of respondents get news from social media “often,” 26 percent “sometimes,” 18 percent “hardly ever,” and 38 percent “never.”
When the survey organizers looked closer at specific social media sites, it was Facebook that reigned supreme among social newshounds. Some 66 percent of Facebook users said they get news from the world’s largest and most powerful social network. While this figure technically ranked behind Reddit’s 70 percent mark, the sheer number of Facebook users overpowers the more niche-oriented Reddit’s reach – by a wide margin.
In fact, since Facebook now reaches some 67 percent of all U.S. adults, the two-thirds of Facebook users who get news there amounts to 44 percent of the total U.S. population. Just four percent of U.S. adults say they use Reddit.
Twitter, long renowned for its impact and usage among news junkies, news makers, and reporters alike, clocked in at 59 percent, while Tumblr (31 percent), Instagram (23 percent), YouTube (21 percent), LinkedIn (19 percent) and Snapchat (17 percent) all ranked much lower.
More News. More Details.
The survey goes into much greater and more intriguing detail, including demographics, “active” vs. “passive” news discovery, usage of other news platforms, and social media channel changes over the past several years – including the rise of Snapchat and the waning of Google+ and Pinterest.
The study also found that women are generally more likely to get their news from social media than men, although these gender-specific splits varied by social media site.
The survey found little evidence of overlap between social media as news sources, with 64 percent of respondents saying they get news from a single social site. Some 26 percent said they get news from two social sites, while only 10 percent claimed to use three or more sites to find news.
Of the sites that have been tracked by the survey organizers since 2013, three of the eight showed an increase in the percentage of users who get news there – LinkedIn, Instagram, and, of course, Facebook (which has owned Instagram since early 2012).
Newsflash: Your Social Ads Must Also Stand Out
Though Facebook and other social media sites, communities, and apps continue to change the way Americans interact with one another, get news, and much more, many businesses and brands have yet to realize just how to optimize their ads for social networks. And because many advertisers don’t have the bandwidth or tools needed to constantly create and test new creative concepts, ad campaigns on Facebook can easily lose steam and plateau within just a few days.
That’s where all of us here at Boost Media – and the Boost Creative Network – come in. We’ve been in the game since the opening tip. We understand all the changing rules and players. And we can help you write, edit, optimize, and refine Facebook ads that attract attention – and compel sales.

How bourbon came to be, and why it’s experiencing such a revival today. Unraveling the many myths and misconceptions surrounding America’s most iconic spirit, Bourbon Empire traces a history that spans frontier rebellion, Gilded Age corruption, and the magic of Madison Avenue. Whiskey has profoundly influenced America’s political, economic, and cultural destiny, just as those same factors have inspired the evolution and unique flavor of the whiskey itself.
Taking readers behind the curtain of an enchanting—and sometimes exasperating—industry, the work of writer Reid Mitenbuler crackles with attitude and commentary about taste, choice, and history. Few products better embody the United States, or American business, than bourbon.
A tale of innovation, success, downfall, and resurrection, Bourbon Empire is an exploration of the spirit in all its unique forms, creating an indelible portrait of both bourbon and the people who make it.


“We are excited and proud to endorse this expansive group of pro-Israel champions who have consistently demonstrated a steadfast commitment to our Democratic values, including maintaining the United States’ alliance with Israel,” said DMFI PAC President, Mark Mellman. “This primary season has made clear that supporting a strong U.S.-Israel relationship is good politics, in addition to being wise policy.”
“We congratulate House Ways & Means Chairman Richard Neal on his primary victory tonight. Chairman Neal earned our support in this race by consistently advocating for Democratic values, including support for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship. We’re also delighted that another of our endorsees, Congressman Seth Moulton, also won re-nomination, while both of the serious anti-Israel candidates on the ballot in Massachusetts were defeated."

Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense of Turkey will determine the exact location of the Russian S-400 missile systems.

Convenient to take along w its collapsible design.
Easy to clean
Perfect size for my little guy to take in car with us! thanks
Love this travel dish!! Thanks for offering it!
Nice bowl for travel.
I do believe your company has put so
much work into this business. No junk in this Food. I want to thank you all for marketing such a great product. Keep up the great work
My dogs went crazy for this food! I still have a bag of good kibble made of brown rice and chicken and I gave them both and they prefer Wild Earth. I cooked for my dogs and gave them a vegetarian diet that was egg and oatmeal-based for about 30 years but the last few years I've been giving them high-quality kibble. I'm going to switch over to this because I'm a lifelong vegetarian and I always feel conflict buying kibble. I despise the animal products industries and factory farming. I am vegetarian for animals and now my dogs can be vegetarian and I don't have to cook. I have a 55 pound 10-year-old black Labrador mix, an Australian cattle dog 33 pounds six years old, and a mini pit four-year-old 45 pounds.

Lots of work and planning goes into assembling a brand new home or building. From interior to exterior a full list of workers and designers are needed. The garage is an especially important part of a building’s aesthetics and safety. Not only is the garage a primary entry for many homeowners, but it is sometimes a focus of the outside of the home. It’s crucial that you consider both safety and design when installing garage doors.
Garage is an important architectural part of your home. This space is a lot more than just a parking for vehicles. They are used for myriad purposes including lemonade sales, keeping unwanted equipment/appliances, entertainment rooms and much more. Since it’s a large open space, lots of energy is wasted on heating and cooling system of this space. Imagine saving a substantial portion of money spent on utility bills. Garage door insulation can make this occur effortlessly.
There are a few different types of garage doors you can have installed brand new. A steel garage door will be really reliable, easy to paint, insulates well, and will continue a lengthy time. This type of door will also be quite heavy, requiring a powerful motor and a strong track system.
The Advantages and Disadvantages of Automatic Garage Doors in Iliamna AK
Once you have finalized your purchase, you can already install it in the entrance of your garage area. Make sure you have already measured the width and length of your garage, so that your purchase can easily fit its measurements. Try seeing different sites that share information about estimating garage sizes.
After this, determine whether you need to install it by yourself. If you believe it’d be hard that you understand the whole installation process, ask your supplier if they offer installation services.
Many of our belongings need to be stored in the garages due to space constraints. So the protection of these garages is very important. Apart from the safety of the vehicle, the garages also gives protection to many of our cherished things.
Your overhead garage door is likely the biggest mechanical device in your home. It is important not only in protecting your cars from the components, but also in guarding them (and your house as well) from burglars and intruders. Care in using your overhead garage door will guarantee its continuous function for years to come.
Reasons To Install Vinyl Windows And Garage Doors in Iliamna AK
When you shop around for a brand new garage gate, each maker will vouch that their product is the greatest. Don’t be tempted by catchy ads or unrealistic promises. Always remember that your new garage gate should survive for at least 10-20 years, depending upon the use speed and maintenance frequency.
Apart from steel and wood, vinyl garage doors are also getting popular now. Vinyl garage gates are rustproof and are more resistant to scratches than their steel counterparts. A vinyl garage gate isn’t normally available off the shelf. It generally takes a lead time of 2-4 weeks. A vinyl garage door has the same outside fashion and insulation alternatives as a steel garage door.
Don’t be taken as a fool by cheap deals offered by some. If the price is too good to be true it probably is one. Be wary of contractors needing to see the inside of your garage. If he is too excited to observe your inside afterward he is probably just casing your house. There are cases that the materials are supplied by the contractor and installs it but he didn’t pay the supplier. You’ll be paying double for the materials.

- Travelling light by Tindersticks
8/10 Penrith Steve 23rd July 2015
Tindersticks have quite a lot of very good songs and "Traveling Light" is one of them. It was taken from their second album released in 1995, which like their debut was eponymous but unofficially known as "II". It is a duet between Stuart Staples and Carla Torgerson from Seattle band The Walkabouts. Torgerson has a beautiful, mournful voice which complements Staples low mumble rather well. The production takes it's cues from Scott Walkers' "Scott 4" whilst the cinematic sweeping strings are reminiscent of Ennio Morricone western soundtracks.

So I think that every vegan has a favorite tofu scramble recipe. I have to be honest and admit that I haven't always been too keen on tofu. In the past, it seemed like such a weird square of "nothing"? Does that make sense? Probably not. To this day I am not a fan of little blocks of tofu in my meals. I'd rather it be incorporated in a different way...not so tofu-ish. You follow? Some of my favorite ways to eat tofu are to make a ricotta with it, faux bacon bits, and of course, tofu scramble. The first time I tried tofu scramble it was at my favorite local vegan joint, The Fiction Kitchen. I ordered the No Huevos Rancheros and was a scrambler for life after the first bite! I soon recreated this meal at home and it became a regular for Sunday brunch and mid-week 'brinners'!
I think part of the reason I was so grossed out initially is because the texture is, um, interesting? While I am not a picky eater at all there are certain things I have to say HARD PASS to. Like mushrooms. Ya'll know how I feel about the fungus and that is, in large part, due to the texture. After I introduced myself to tofu and got all up in it, I realized it wasn't so bad. I'm not sure what I would compare it to, maybe a soft-ish cheese? Not quite as hard as feta but more like a goat cheese, I'd say. And the beautiful thing about it is that you can make it taste however you want! It's all in the seasonings! This bland block of fermented soy beans can be transformed into BACON BITS that taste like actual bacon! I used this method when making vegan twice baked potatoes and OH LORD IT WAS HEAVEN. So my point being: don't knock it till you try it, if you're like I was, which is straight terrified and disgusted. Even the most hardcore tofu-deniers can be converted.
One thing to note when you're dealing with tofu is that it contains a lot of water. So if you're going to be sauteeing it, like in this recipe, it's best to try and press as much of the liquid out as possible before you start cooking. You can buy a fancy-shmancy tofu press OR you can simple pile a bunch of heavy stuff on top of it and let it sit for 5-10 minutes and you'll be good to go. I prefer the latter. Next you're going to want to crumble the tofu up with your fingers, much like you would crumble the above-mentioned cheeses. Once it's nice and crumbly looking (see picture) you're going to add it to your pan with some oil that you've let get hot. After any liquid has been absorbed I like to add a bit of almond milk, because if you're like I was in my pre-plant based days, you like a soft scramble. Again, saute until most of the liquid is absorbed then dump in your spices.
The spices I add in are my absolute favorite combination for scrambles but you can totally tinker with this recipe and use what you prefer or what you've got on hand. I would not leave out the nutritional yeast as this is what gives any scramble a good cheesy flavor. After your spices are added and your tofu resembles scrambled egg, go ahead and add in a bit more almond milk. this is essential, in my humble opinion, in order to get that soft scrambly egg feel. You know what I mean?! Yes you do, I know you do.
And again, don't feel like you have to just pile this on a plate with some toast (although, yum!). I love to make breakfast tostadas, like above, I've made quiches, lasagna, sandwiches, burritos, etc.
An interesting fact: this is my little picky eater. He turns his nose up to most delicious things but his absolute favorite food that he DEVOURS? TOFU SCRAMBLE! I didn't know what tofu was until I was probably 20 years old. This 20 month old is like, hold my sippy cup!
Easy, tofu scramble for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Makes: 4 servings
- 1 Block of Extra Firm Tofu
- ½ Cup Almond Milk, separated
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- ½ tsp Onion Powder
- ½ tsp Cumin
- 2 TBS Nutritional Yeast
- Salt and Pepper to taste (*Black Salt can be purchased on Amazon or specialty food stores and has a sulfar-like taste/smell that mimics the flavor of egg. If you can get your hands on some I would highly recommend adding a bit of this to your scrambles!)
- Press the excess liquid from your tofu. Place your tofu block on a plate then place a heavy cookbook/frying pan on top and let it sit for about 10 minutes or so while gathering the rest of your ingredients.
- Once your tofu is drained and the excess water has been pressed off, crumble the tofu block with your hands (see picture).
- Heat a bit of oil in your pan and add the tofu. Stir until no moisture remains (about 4-5 minutes)
- Add in ¼ cup of your almond milk and all of your spices. Stir again until all liquid has been absorbed.
- Add in your final ¼ cup of almond milk. Stir until liquid is absorbed again or leave it a bit “soft” to resemble softer scrambled egg in taste, texture and appearance (this is my favorite!).
- Eat as is, add to tostadas, sandwiches, burritos, tacos, etc. The possibilities are endless!

This post will cover the specifics about NPIV technology when using Live Partition Mobility.
NPIV: N_Port ID Virtualization.
It’s a Fibre Channel hardware feature. Multiple Fibre Channel node port IDs can share a single physical N_Port.
Each client partition has dedicated wwpns.
Disk drivers are installed at lpar level.
Load balancing available at lpar level.
Easiest virtualization solution for lan free backup.
Most popular disk virtualization technology on Power systems.
The disk driver is installed at partition level.
Disk paths load balancing is performed at partition level.
Most common setup is 4 paths. It allows to access each fabric from each VIOS.
active and inactive wwpns
When an active LPM operation is performed, the fibre channel adapter will use the inactive wwpn on the destination system. It will keep using it after the operation.
Zoning by WWPN is recommended. See Brocade reference documentation :
When using lscfg command, you will only see the first wwpn on the virtual fibre channel adapter.
# lscfg -vl fcs0 fcs0 U8286.42A.06B7D12-V10-C4-T1 Virtual Fibre Channel Client Adapter Network Address.............C0507607A2550166 ROS Level and ID............ Device Specific.(Z0)........

Here it’s C0507607A2550166.
To see what is the current active wwpn, you need to use fcstat command:
# fcstat fcs0 FIBRE CHANNEL STATISTICS REPORT: fcs0 Device Type: FC Adapter (adapter/vdevice/IBM,vfc-client) Serial Number: UNKNOWN Option ROM Version: UNKNOWN ZA: UNKNOWN World Wide Node Name: 0xC0507607A2550167 World Wide Port Name: 0xC0507607A2550167 FC-4 TYPES: Supported: 0x0000010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Active: 0x0000010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Class of Service: 3 Port Speed (supported): UNKNOWN Port Speed (running): 8 GBIT Port FC ID: 0x01086F
Here an active LPM operation occured, so it’s C0507607A2550167.
valid zoning and masking configuration
To perform LPM correctly, both active and inactive wwpns needs to be zoned and masked to the appropriate storage.
2 solutions are available:
one host defined at storage level with all wwpns
2 hosts defined at storage level: one with active wwpns, one with inactive wwpns.
If done properly, both solutions are valid.
Defining two hosts at storage level works but if the configuration is not identical, the system can be missing disks after an LPM move.
It happens when:
disks are missing in LPM host masking
disks doesn’t have the same scsi id in both host masking.
Recommendation: define only one host at storage level with all wwpns or use san disks level validation(available with vios 22.214.171.124 and above).
SAN disk level validation
Before VIOS 2.2.4(Dec 2015), LPM validation was only validating if the inactive wwpn was able to connect on the same storage port than the active wwpn on each virtual fibre channel adapter.
If host mapping was not exactly the same for the inactive wwpn, problems would arise.
If it’s not possible to ensure the zoning and mapping recommendations are applied, use disk level validation. The validation will take more time but will ensure all disks are visible on the target system.
It need to be enabled on all source vios :

For the 2020 edition of Frieze Masters, Garth Greenan Gallery is pleaesd to present I See Red, an online solo-exhibition of works by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith. The eleven paintings in the exhibition provide an overview of Smith’s work between 1992 and 1998, a unique and innovative period in the artist’s practice. During that time, Smith began her famous series I See Red, further extending and elaborating her use of red as a signature of Native American identity. The saturated red of paintings, such as I See Red: Mutton Stew (1995), I See Red: Petroglyph Park (1996), and I See Red: Grandma! Grandma! (Red in the Hood) (1998), performs simultaneous acts of affirmation and resistance.
Each work in I See Red is distinguished by a unique mix of media and collaged text on canvas. I See Red: Grandma! Grandma! (Red in the Hood) (1998) presents the outline of a Christmas tree doused in dripping red paint—simultaneously recalling blood and fire. The urgent, sanguine scene is exaggerated by a panicked headline: “Grandma! Grandma!,” possibly alluding to Mother Earth in peril. A quote from Bill McKibben’s The End of Nature confirms the subject, “The greenhouse effect is the first environmental problem we can’t escape by moving to the woods.” Despite the frantic and serious subject, Smith makes space for humor, including a puzzling quote from Ronald Reagan, “Eighty percent of pollution is caused by plants and trees,” along with ads like, “If you can’t see every plot twist coming, rush to your optometrist now.” Obviously, the plot twist of the story referenced by the painting’s title, Little Red Riding Hood, is that grandma turns out to be a wolf. Such is the structure of our environmental crisis. In the end, it is not Mother Nature that is ultimately in peril, but us.
In I See Red: House II (1995) the artist depicts a clash of perspectives on that foundational human concept housing. A painted tipi is decorated with a polyphony of newspaper clippings— “Pssst! Need a Great Mortgage?” and “It’s the Lease You Can Do?”—foregrounding America’s runaway financialization of shelter. “Whose House Is This Anyway?” asks another headline, possibly alluding to the scant reservations to which the descendants of America’s first human inhabitants are now relegated.
Smith’s I See Red: Petroglyph Park (1996) juxtaposes pictographs with cartoons, found images, and newspaper clippings. A cartoon car traverses the canvas, and a news clipping reads “Making $ense of it all.” Beginning in the mid-80s, Albuquerque city officials and property developers fought to extend the six-lane highway Paseo Del Norte through the Petroglyph National Monument, a site sacred to Pueblo Indians. The pictographic figure in the center of Smith’s composition has its arms raised, as if in surrender, but Native Americans, environmentalists, and other protesters fought tirelessly to protect the site. Taxonomic drawings of flowers and fish show through the layers of paint, placing the battle for the park within a larger context of the Western conquest of nature. A prophetic headline reads, “An ‘Inevitable’ Conclusion.” Though activists’ efforts delayed the project for nearly two decades, the highway was eventually extended in the early 2000s. Smith’s I See Red series activates a racialized discourse that might otherwise go unquestioned by reframing a dominant cultural metaphor within Smith’s specific aesthetic and political critique.
Born in 1940 at the St. Ignatius Indian Mission on her reservation, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith is an enrolled Salish member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation, Montana. Smith received an Associate of Arts Degree at Olympic College in Bremerton, Washington in 1960, a BA in Art Education from Framingham State College, Massachusetts in 1976, and an MA in Visual Arts from the University of New Mexico in 1980. Since the late ’70s, Smith has had over 50 solo exhibitions, including at Kornblee Gallery (1979, New York), Bernice Steinbaum Gallery (1990, New York), Steinbaum Krauss Gallery (1992, 1995, 1998, New York), and Jan Cicero Gallery (2000 and 2002, Chicago). In 2004, the Milton Hershey School Art Museum (Hershey, Pennsylvania) opened Jaune Quick-to-See Smith: Made in America which traveled to Keene State College (Keene, New Hampshire).
Smith’s work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Quito, Ecuador; the Museum of Mankind, Vienna, Austria; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota; the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington D.C.; the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to represent Jaune Quick-to-See Smith.

Christophe Feutrier likes to talk about being on a journey, or a road.
He began his life in theater in his hometown of St. Etienne, France — where he says you either played soccer or made theater — but he has proved to be a difficult man to keep in one place.
This year Feutrier estimates he spent three months at his home in Paris, where he is the founder and director of the Trajectoire-ADM agency.
“ADM stands for ‘amour du monde,’ love of the world,” he says switching back and forth between Russian and French.
“I come home to unpack, make a few calls and argue with someone, usually a producer, before picking up and leaving again,” he adds with a laugh.
Over the last 20 years Feutrier has worked in China, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Germany, France and other countries. In Russia he staged 10 productions in Omsk, Tomsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Cheboksary, Zlatoust and Moscow.
His production of “Entre Nous” at Moscow’s Chelovek Studio Theater opened a decade ago and is still running in repertory.
Feutrier, who has an expressive face and is always quick to smile or laugh, is currently here rehearsing Valere Novarina’s enigmatic “The Imaginary Operetta.” The show opens Tuesday and Wednesday on the Manezh stage at the School of Dramatic Art.
Although the play only appeared 12 years ago, it is already “a modern classic,” the director informs me. Then he leans forward and asks, “Do you want to know what the play is about?”
Yes, I say, taking the bait.
“Nobody will ever know!” he declares quickly and laughs out loud.
“Actually, that’s a bad question to ask about this play,” Feutrier informs me suddenly in a more serious tone, at which point I realize that I’m grateful I didn’t really ask it.
“It’s about the end of civilization,” he declares. “Novarina says nothing about that in the play. He’s not preaching on a soapbox. But he imbedded the idea in the structure of the play.”
“Oh, and it’s a comedy,” he adds as an afterthought.
“The Imaginary Operetta” has delighted and baffled theater-goers ever since it was staged in Paris in 1998 by Claude Buchwald at Peter Brook’s Bouffes du Nord Theater. It uses seemingly nonsensical language and a lack of linear narrative to build a tale that has a tangible impact on an audience.
“As a philosopher,” Feutrier continues, “Novarina is convinced that we can no longer talk about the human being anymore. We have created so many sciences studying the human — anthropology, psychology, ethnography — that there is nothing more to be said or discovered. Novarina breaks all that down. He destroys the ‘I’ and all that’s left are words.”
Feutrier looks for an example to illustrate what he means and settles on the global financial crisis.
“It’s like Wall Street just before the crash,” he finally says. “Everybody’s shouting and yelling words, words, words, and then it all comes crashing down. Afterwards nothing is left but the words.”
In fact, there are more than words to “The Imaginary Operetta,” which is also a musical piece. The Russian production, however, will differ from the Paris production as a result of a reading that Feutrier staged in Moscow five years ago.
“Russian and French are so different,” he explains. “So I suggested composing new music to accompany the Russian text, and Novarina loved the idea,” the director explains.
Thus it is that this production will be performed to an entirely new score by Vartan Yeritsyan.
The show features actors who have been a part of the troupe or have collaborated with the School of Dramatic Art in recent years. Among them are Sergei Volkov, Sofya Yefimova and Oksana Mysina, who plays the role of the work’s author struggling to keep the characters in line.
Following the premiere of “The Imaginary Operetta,” Feutrier will continue his journeys. He is planning a new production of an as-yet undetermined Eugene Ionesco play in Germany, and he will oversee a French tour of Ionesco’s “Frenzy for Two,” which he staged in July in Avignon.
But Feutrier’s eyes light up most when he tells me what he’s planning for spring 2011 — a road trip from Chicago to Los Angeles on the famed Route 66.
“I want to see everything Kerouac wrote about,” he says, anticipating the pleasure that will bring him.
Who knows? He may just find a few theaters to work at on his way and spend the next 20 years working in the United States.

Erie County Farm Bureau membership campaign kicked off Jan. 18, 2012 and volunteers have been working hard ever since to encourage members to continue their support as well as recruit new Farm Bureau members. Several membership volunteers were rewarded for their efforts recently including co-membership coordinators, Greg Cumston and Jeff Belmont, and board members, Denny Weilnau, Becky Dickerson and John Hartman. Their dedication, along with other volunteers, helped Erie County Farm Bureau to achieve Pacesetter Award from Ohio Farm Bureau for this membership year. Erie County was one of 22 counties in the state to achieve this award. We would like to thank all of the volunteers who helped with the campaign.
Erie County Farm Bureau goals include continuing to educate the public about Farm Bureau and expanding its membership. Volunteers strive to inform consumers of the importance of supporting our local farming community by supporting Farm Bureau and becoming a member. Just as important they communicate to those involved in agriculture about Farm Bureau’s accomplishments at the local, state and national levels to encourage good policies in the interest of agriculture. Without the hard work and dedication of the many volunteers who work throughout the year for membership, Erie County Farm Bureau could not continue their work.
For more information about Erie County Farm Bureau, its goals and accomplishments, benefits of membership, or for a membership application contact the office at 888-216-5487 or e-mail [email protected]. You can also visit us at www.northcoastfarmbureau.org or ofbf.org/counties/erie/
