While the Trudeau government has long boasted of employing a gendered lens to enact its policies, that analysis has certainly not applied to extradition.
In the wake of the Danforth shooting and recent mass violence in Toronto, might Canadians do better to approach violence as an issue of public health, rather than public safety?
The alleged perpetrator of Monday’s van attack in Toronto has ties to a powerful patriarchal institution that is Canada’s biggest purveyor of violence.
Linda MacDonald and Jeanne Sarson lobby for UN Committee on Torture to recognize sexualized violence as a form of torture.
With online platforms increasingly being a site of public discourse in democratic societies, gendered online violence silences and makes invisible a key sector of society in the public sphere.
Despite the daily barrage of patriarchal terrorism in our own neighbourhoods, the self-styled feminist government of Justin Trudeau acts in a manner inconsistent with the extent of the crisis.
Every December 6, we remember the women who lost their lives in the brutal and targeted attack at École Polytechnique. Have we learned from the past?
"Notes from a Feminist Killjoy" is an answer to what is needed now -- a self-consciously contingent rejoinder to the question of "who needs feminism?"
There are still no resources to speak of for girls with disabilities facing violence, even though they experience violence at higher rates and more frequently than any other group.
It's November 30, the last day of Woman Abuse Prevention Month in Ontario and the sixth day of the United Nations 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence.

ofxFaceTracker is openFrameworks addon for face tracking, based on Jason Saragih's FaceTracker library.
This addon breaks on OF 0.11.0 due OpenCV 4. Consider using ofxFaceTracker2
openFrameworks is an open source toolkit for creative coding.
All ofxFaceTracker code is available under the MIT license, while FaceTracker is provided free for non-commercial use. For commercial use of FaceTracker, please request a quote.
- ofxTiming (for some examples)
- ofxDelauny (for some examples)
First, download ofxCv.
Then, you need to make a copy of the
libs/FaceTracker/model/ directory in
example-*/bin/data/model/ of each example. You can do this by hand, or
python setup.py will take care of this for you.
Then you can generate project files with the OF project generator and run the examples. If you see the error
Assertion failed: s.is_open() when running your app, that means you forgot to drop the model files in the right directory.
If you would like to prototype an idea involving face tracking, I encourage you to download FaceOSC. Dan Wilcox has some great FaceOSC templates that will help you get started in environments like Max, pd, Processing, and openFrameworks.
If you're interested in using ofxFaceTracker for face substitution, check out the FaceSubstitution repository.
Getting the combination of ofxFaceTracker and ofxCv working on iOS can be complicated and confusing. Try using this ofxFaceTracker-iOS repo as a starting point. Scott Hawley has also made a FaceOSC iOS port to interface with Wekinator that may helpful.
Demonstrates how to get the image-space position of the face, and the 3d orientation (collectively, the face "pose") then applies these to the OpenGL context in order to draw an oriented face mesh.
An advanced example that shows how you might detect blinking from the extracted eye images. This is not necessarily a robust classifier for whether eyes are open or closed, but works well for blinks as events.
Fairly complicated example that demonstrates some advanced/experimental features of ofxCv and ofxFaceTracker for doing AR-style augmentation of the face.
Provides a minimal example of using an
ofxVideoGrabber with an
ofxFaceTracker, then extracts and draws the
ofPolyline representing the left and right eyes.
ExpressionClassifier, which can load, save, and classify expressions into pre-trained categories. Provides basic expressions (eyebrows raised, neutral, smiling) as examples.
Demonstrates how to use the mean face mesh to draw pose and expression normalized representation of the face currently being tracked.
FaceOSC sends as much data as possible from
ofxFaceTracker via OSC, including its pose/position and gestural data, and its raw points. It also streams the image over Syphon.
You can download a pre-built binary in the releases page.

“Shaaaaaarrrron” (as Ozzy calls her) burst into American living rooms in 2001 as the level-headed, but foul-mouthed matriarch on MTV’s The Osbournes – which also featured daughter Kelly and son Jack and scored the network its highest ratings ever.
She cashed in on her fame by hosting several talk shows and appearing as a judge on the U.K. version of “X-Factor”.
Sharon has also hosted VH-1’s Rock of Love: Charm School and appears daily with Sara Gilbert, Leah Remeny, Julie Chen and Holly Robinson-Peete on the CBS daytime series The Talk.
- Sharon is credited with reviving her husband’s heavy metal career by founding the Ozzfest Tour.
- She was ranked as the 25th richest woman in Britain on the 2009 Sunday Times Rich List.

3 Ways to Pass on Faith to the Next Generation
At The Gospel Coalition, Tim Keller writes about passing on the faith.
- It is impossible to lay blame neatly when one generation fails to pass its faith on to the next one. Did the first generation fail to reach out, or did the second generation just harden their hearts? The answer is usually both. Mistakes made by one Christian generation are often magnified in the next, nominal one.
Commitment is replaced by complacency—and then by compromise.
An interesting example is early New England. Nearly all the first settlers in 1620 to 1640 were vital, biblical Christians. But by 1662, the first generation realized that many of their children and grandchildren were only nominal—believers in name only.
They Said It Would Get Better
- I remember when we first moved back to California, and the nightly nightmares began. He’d scream at the top of his lungs, and I’d jolt awake with my heart racing; anger, frustration, concern beating fast within my chest. I’d rush into his room stressed, wanting to comfort but also curse him back to sleep. My motherly nurture wrestled with my human need for rest. What had happened to the days when he’d sleep through the night? The days and nights when it had been easy, good, peaceful? I longed for that season, wanted to will it back into existence. I was in a long nightmare of sleepless nights again, and I couldn’t see the end of it.
Books about the Olympics
- Has your family caught Winter Games Fever yet? It’s time to load up at the library with books about the Olympics!
Just in case you feel the Winter Games Fever symptoms coming on (excitement, anticipation and an urge to luge), we have a few related books to share with you today.
Counseling and the “Inconsolable Things”
Lore Ferguson Wilbert writes about discovering our weaknesses.
- If you ever get the chance to pay someone $100+ dollars to sit across from you and tell you all the things you’re doing wrong and call it counseling, I suggest you do. It sounds like a lose-lose, but I promise if the counselor is good (and mine is), it will be worth every penny. You would think you would leave a room like that poorer both in money and in strength, but the truth is the money is an investment for the aching muscles you’re exercising. It’s like the gym for your soul. You stretch, you grow, you ache, you get stronger. That’s the hope anyway.

Welcoming the Wandering Son
Scott James shares the story of his son’s encounter with The Yearling and what Scott himself learned in it.
- My son broke my heart the other day. He had just finished reading one of my favorite books, The Yearling, and he was telling me how the closing scenes affected him. If you’ve not yet read this classic, I’ll spare you the main spoilers but suffice it to say, the young protagonist Jody Baxter experiences significant family strife near the end of the story. Furious and feeling betrayed, Jody runs away only to find that life away from his family is even more difficult than life with them.
When I Give A Book
Helena Sorensen shows us what she considers when she gives a book.
- We’re spoiled around here. Though I’m sure there’s no shortage of used book stores in your town, in Tennessee we have the King of Used Book Stores, the Grand Pooh-bah of the Printed Word. We have McKay’s. This is the place that has allowed me to build a library for my children, that has occupied the family on many rainy afternoons, that has proven the perfect date night destination. This is the haven of bliss where I find new Buechner memoirs I’ve never heard of (how many did he write?), where I fight the temptation to replace my entire set of The Chronicles of Narnia (just because), where I pop my fiftieth copy of The Phantom Tollbooth into the cart “to give to a friend.” (I can’t stop myself.)
Sunny and Eve – Part One
We’ve got a Story Warren original coming your way in three parts over the next couple weeks. We’re so excited to present Isabel Chenot’s story “Sunny and Eve,” accompanied by Will Kelly’s illustrations.
- When she was seventeen, Eve found she could spin vapor thread from water, with a glimmer of light for a spindle. She could twist and filigree threads of vapor along her breath to patterns she saw in her dreams, and tether the apparitions to moonbeams – lighter than air and all the colors of stained glass. They were visiting the lake: she went out after Sunny and her father fell asleep to walk through its lapping hem, spinning white crests to prismatic clouds. And she knew that what people said about her mother was true.

No agreement on forming Bosnia Council of MinistersSource: Tanjug
Mostar -- The political representatives of the three peoples in Bosnia-Herzegovina have failed to reach an agreement to form the Bosnia Council of Ministers.
Elections for this body were held nearly a year ago.
The meeting in the town of Mostar on Monday was attended by leaders of six parties - Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNDS) Milorad Dodik, Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) Mladen Bosić, Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) Dragan Čović, HDZ 90 Božo Ljubić, Party of Democratic Action (SDA) Sulejman Tihić and Social Democratic Party of Croatia (SDP) Zlatko Lagumdžija.
At a joint press conference, Čović said that there are still huge discrepancies between the parties' positions on the forming of the Bosnia Council of Ministers and implementation of the verdict delivered by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg on the Sejdić-Finci case, based on which the minority peoples should be given the right to stand as candidates for highest positions in Bosnia.
He said that the participating parties will hold a continuous dialogue, which will include bilateral and multilateral meetings, until a new general meeting which is scheduled for September 15.
Ljubić, who hosted the Monday talks together with Čović, said that the talks represent the beginning of the recovery from crisis.
Dodik reiterated his earlier statements that the Bosnia Council of Ministers can be formed on the principle of rotation and consensus, while honoring the parities of legally and legitimately elected representatives of constitutive peoples in Bosnia.
Dodik said that Republika Srpska (RS) is entitled to four ministerial positions, including the position of Bosnia foreign minister.
Reiterating the united position of RS, Bosić said that result of these talks is that the dialogue between SNDS, SDS, HDZ, HDZ 90, SDA and SDA has been reopened.
According to the local media, the leaders of six parliamentary parties expressed readiness to take part in further talks so as to resolve the issue of elections and functioning of the Council of Ministers.

While we’re all likely spending more time at home, there is one thing we can all do right now that will positively impact the education and well-being of our students and families for the next ten years: fill out the 2020 Census ( https://my2020census.gov/).
Encourage ALLLLLL your friends and family to do it as well.
Advance College Counselor
Message from Superintendent Cruz
Dear AISD family,
Thank you for remaining vigilant in your efforts to minimize the spread of COVID-19 to ensure that Austin ISD and our greater community are safe and healthy.
While we’re all likely spending more time at home, there is one thing we can all do right now that will positively impact the education and well-being of our students and families for the next ten years: fill out the 2020 Census. To do this, look for your Census letter in the mail, which includes your Census ID number and further instructions to fill out the form online.
I know that many of our families, staff, and neighbors are struggling to adjust to the new ways of living that we are being asked to practice. I’m also aware and grateful for all of the individuals who are wanting to do something to help one another despite the limitations of practicing social distancing.
By filling out the 2020 Census, you can know that you’re doing your part to ensure that billions of federal dollars flow to where resources are most needed to help our communities. It also ensures that our communities receive sufficient representation. Filling out the Census also teaches our students a valuable lesson in civic responsibility and prepares them to participate in the future.
The Census is a great reminder that we are all connected. Thank you in advance for committing to complete your Census and encouraging others to do the same. I am fully aware that the situation we face is unprecedented and we are all coping in different ways.
Please know that we are here for you and your family.
Superintendent Paul Cruz, P.h.D.
What is the Census and why is it so Important to be counted?
Once every 10 years, every person living in the United States – regardless of origin or status – is required to fill out the Census. This is a requirement of the United States Constitution in order to provide an accurate count of all people in the country. When we respond, we help bring money to our community for schools, health care, libraries, roads and more.
Is it safe to fill out the Census?
It is important that you know, your Census response is private, protected and confidential. Your information can only be used to produce anonymous statistics and CANNOT be shared with landlords, immigration officials or any other agencies.
What is AISD’s role in ensuring everyone is counted?
AISD is collaborating with the city, county and non-profit partners in central Texas to ensure everyone is counted. Now, more than ever, our work must be rooted in equity, mutual support, and collective responsibility. Under these circumstances, we especially recognize the importance and value in drawing upon the strength of our school and family partnerships to reach more families, reassuring them that being counted is not only safe but benefits everyone.

‛This is my time’, says new St George’s Cup Match captain Onias Bascome
Onias Bascome says he is both excited and honoured to be appointed as the captain of St George’s Cup Match team and is confident he can be equal to the task.
“It’s an exciting moment in my career,” the 26-year-old all-rounder told The Royal Gazette. “St George’s have a good programme going right now and I am the head of that ship.
“I just feel that at the end of the day the club has installed trust in me and I feel as though I’m the right man to take this job right now and take St George’s to the next level.
“I just feel that is my time to step up and bring something to the table.”
Challengers and this year’s hosts St George’s was forced to look for a new captain after all-rounder Lionel Cann retired from top-flight cricket last year.
Bascome now joins a line of family members who have captained St George’s in Cup Match, including older brother Oronde, father Herbie Bascome, uncle Gregg Foggo and grandfather Gregory “Brutus” Foggo.
“It’s always been something that was in mind from young growing up playing cricket watching my daddy and brother captain,” Bascome added.
“It’s definitely an honour to be a Cup Match captain and probably one of the biggest honours you can have as a cricketer in Bermuda, leading either Somerset or St George’s in the field over those two days because of what the game means to the country.”
Asked will the role alter his approach to the game, Bascome said: “I don’t want to look at it as being different, but of course it’s going to be added responsibilities on you as being the captain.
“But you can’t take all that on to the field. You still have to play the game as it is and still have to do what you have to do.
“It’s a big step but I feel that I am in the position that I am in because I can handle it, and that’s why they have trusted me and gone with me to do this job.”
Bascome will make his debut as St George’s captain in front of his own fans at Wellington Oval next Thursday and Friday.
“It’s no better feeling to do it in front of all the people I grew up with in front of my home crowd,” he said. “I feel it gives me that much more confidence going into the game.”
As for his team’s preparations in the lead-up to the two-day classic, Bascome said: “Preparations are actually going good. We have a lot of youngsters out training now along with the experienced players.
“It’s been good numbers and I am excited having seen a lot of good things throughout training and even the trial matches.”
The challengers’ preparations have not gone without setbacks, having lost the services of former captain Macai Simmons, while opening batsman Treadwell Gibbons Jr remains doubtful.
Simmons fractured his hand playing against St David’s in the Twenty20 Premier League at Wellington Oval last Sunday and has been ruled out of Cup Match.
Gibbons suffered a hand injury in the same match, required stitches and has not been selected to play in today’s final trial match.
“It’s always going to be a hurt, especially with them being league players as well, so it’s not just impacting us for Cup Match but is also impacting our league team as well,” Bascome said.
“Hopefully they can recover as soon as possible and come back because they are players that give 100 per cent. Those players are always going to be a miss.”

What with being the Premier League’s oldest outfield player and all, it’s fair to say that Sylvain Distin has waltzed around the block a few times.
Unfortunately, it would appear that the 37-year-old Frenchman has picked up precisely nothing on the way, with the veteran Bournemouth defender proving as much in a quick trivia quiz with The Sun.
In fact, it seems Distin doesn’t know the first thing about the game he plays for a living – not that he cares in the slightest.
When asked which club finished third in the Premier League last season, Distin replied: “You need to ask that to someone else…I have no idea and it doesn’t matter.”
It was a similar response when Distin was pressed for the name of Stoke City’s stadium: “Don’t know. I’m not going to pretend to have football knowledge. It’s not about who plays where, it changes nothing to me.”
We now move into the quick-fire section of the quiz, which features some gems…
Question: How many titles has Jose Mourinho won?Distin: “Five?”Q: Where does Manuel Pellegrini come from?D: “Is it Italy? Yes. Somewhere in Italy.”Q: How much did Angel Di Maria cost?D: “About £2.50?”Q: Name a Watford player.D: “I don’t know”
Almost Assou-Ekottoian levels of disinterest in your chosen profession. Impressive.

The dog walkers had taken their eight dogs out across the Wirral beach when they found themselves in difficulty. They were unable to move in thick mud and with the tide flooding in, the UK Coastguard were alerted and requested that the Hoylake RNLI hovercraft launch to assist.

Hoylake RNLI’s volunteer crew were paged at 2.01pm and quicky launched their Inshore Rescue Hovercraft Hurley Spirit. The hovercraft and her crew headed to the scene and found the casualties sat down chest-deep in the water about 20 metres away from the sand, where their dogs were being looked after by a member of the public and Merseyside Police officers.
With the tide rising and the casualties stuck fast, hovercraft crew members entered the water and worked quickly to free the dog walkers from the mud. The casualties were supported in the water by the Hoylake RNLI crew and brought on board the hovercraft. The crew carried out a medical assessment and other than feeling the effects of the cold, the casualties fortunately required no immediate medical attention.
The dogs were understandably keen to be with the casualties and four made their way out to the hovercraft. They were brought on board by the RNLI crew while the others were secured with help from Merseyside Police. The hovercraft then flew the casualties and their canine companions to the shore, where they were transferred into the care of North West Ambulance Service paramedics and the Wirral Coastguard Rescue Team.
Hoylake RNLI hovercraft commander Harry Jones said, “This was a challenging rescue for the hovercraft crew, where every second counted to free the casualties from the mud. With the tide still flooding in quickly, it was lucky that the hovercraft could reach them in time for our crew to free them and bring them to safety – otherwise the outcome could have been very different.
“Leasowe Bay can be a dangerous stretch of beach so if you are heading out, please always check the tide times and local safety signage and know your route to safety. Keep an eye on your surroundings and always carry a means of calling for help. In an emergency, dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.”
Harry added, “If you get stuck in the mud, try to spread your weight as evenly as possible across the surface, avoid moving and stay as calm as you can. It’s also important to discourage others from trying to rescue you as they may become stuck too.”

It has been one of Hoylake RNLI’s busiest years on record for emergency call-outs, where the easing of Coronavirus restrictions saw many people heading to the Wirral and Merseyside coasts.
The RNLI advises the public to check safety advice and information about the risks around our coast, which can be found at RNLI.org/Safety.

The fear of match day problems involving Dutch and Welsh football fans has played a part in delaying confirmation of Cardiff City’s fixtures during their pre-season tour to Holland, we can reveal today.
Russell Slade’s Bluebirds were seeking to build towards their Championship campaign by playing games against two clubs in the top division of the Dutch game.
We understand Slade had verbally agreed contracts on the fixtures six weeks ago, with sources in Holland suggesting they would have been against NAC Breda and Willem II.
However, we have been told local town officials expressed concerns over the complications of hosting a high-profile British club.
Pictures: Cardiff City stars enjoy their summer break
Swansea City have experienced similar problems in the past, with a game – also against Breda – cancelled at the last minute when the local mayor refused to sanction the match.
It leaves Cardiff in limbo with their pre-season planning, with the squad flying out to the Netherlands on Sunday July 19 and not yet knowing who they will be facing.
Slade has also made it clear he is not keen for his team to play on artificial surfaces and possibly risk muscle strains close to the new Championship season.
That stand has meant a couple of other potential matches, against clubs with 4G surfaces, have not been possible to arrange.
But the Bluebirds boss said today: “The tour goes ahead as planned and we plan to confirm our fixtures over the next few days.”
One match looks certain to be against a Dutch side, while the other is likely to see City take on another European team on tour in Holland.
Former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took City to Austria a year ago and they played opponents from Germany (TSV 1860 Munich), KS Teuta Durres (Albania) and Amkar Perm (Russia).
Slade takes his players abroad the day after their pre-season fixture at Shrewsbury Town.
They are scheduled to play their first tour match on Tuesday July 21 and their second on the following Friday, before flying back to the UK the next day.

We’ve all heard people talk about specific wines and how they pair with certain meats, cheeses and other dishes. The rule of thumb is: red wines go with red meats and whites go with fish and poultry. Smoking meat with the right chips is just as easy to understand. And the results can be amazing. Especially with today’s wood chips containing fruit essence, rich flavors, and exotic combinations.
Whether you’re using an electric smoker, a charcoal smoker, or a pellet grill, there are chips that will work with your unit. When you smoke something, you’re adding flavor to the meat through the wood product you use. Your overall choices include pellets, woodchips, and sawdust.
Pellets are one of the most accessible choices. Best of all, they’re compatible with electric, gas, and charcoal grills and come in a wide range of flavors.
Woodchips also work with electric, gas and charcoal grills. By soaking wood chips for 30 minutes before using them, you’ll add flavor and moisture.
Sawdust can be used for hot and cold smoking in electric and gas smokers. It’s best for smoking fish and sausages.
Coastal tip: Be sure to use chips that are compatible with your grill to avoid damaging your unit or ruining a choice cut of meat.
Choosing Your Wood
Each type of wood gives the meats you smoke a distinctive flavor. Some of the more common types are apple, cherry, hickory, mesquite, and more.
Apple adds a sweet, mildly fruity flavor to beef, pork, poultry, and seafood.
Hickory is a very strong and pungent wood that can leave some meat with a bitter taste. But if you like that on your beef, pork, poultry, or lamb, then you’re in luck.
Cherry can be mild, depending on the age of the wood. It can also add a light color to your beef, pork, poultry, and seafood.
Oak is one of our favorites thanks to the rich flavor and coloring it leaves behind on beef, pork, poultry, seafood, lamb, and wild game.
Coastal tip: Oak is especially good with turkey.
Pecan is mild and easy to use with beef, pork, poultry, and lamb.

Questions are being asked over tiny holes appearing along the Grand Canal Greenway in Offaly.
These pictures showing possible subsidence happening near the boardwalk at Lock 26 on the greenway were taken by a user recently.
These fairly deep holes have appeared in the tarmac and may be a cause for concern for users who may walk into one unknowingly.
The Grand Canal Greenway has become hugely popular in the last few months in Offaly with thousands of users taking to it on foot and by bicycle.
Offaly County Council have been contacted by the Offaly Express on this issue but have not yet responded to requests for a statement on the holes.

The PX Ford Ranger 3.2L has cemented itself as one of the most popular dual-cab 4x4s on the market, but it’s not perfect. Here we explore some of its problems and their solutions.
BY DAVE MORLEY: Take a look around an outback roadhouse, a remote-area camping site or any of the long, straight highways that make up Australia, and you’ll see that nobody is going broke making caravans or camper trailers right now. The grey nomads continue to make their mark, and the availability of cheaper (albeit imported) camping gear has meant the big outback adventure is now a reality for a lot more Aussie families.
But what you’ll also notice is that an awful lot of those caravans and campers you see are being towed by the PX Ford Ranger. The Ranger hits a sweet spot for a lot of folks; it’s not too big to use every day, its road manners are pretty good, and it has the on-paper towing capacity people are looking for. But another big part of its appeal is that big, 3.2-litre, five-cylinder engine that makes towing less of a headache.
There are plenty of Rangers out there now (it was launched here in 2011) and while it seems to be showing up as a low-aggro ownership proposition, there are still a few things you must know.
Problem – Oil pump blues: Oddly enough, the biggest watch-out for Ranger owners is not exactly a fault, but more of a foible. But whatever you call it, being ignorant is going to cost you dollars, brain damage and maybe even an engine. See, the Ranger uses a variable-displacement oil pump, aimed at improving efficiency by not pumping more oil than is necessary at the time. As such, it uses a chain-driven design that is not self-priming. And there’s the big clue.
The problems start when an owner (or a workshop without the right service bulletin) drains the Ranger’s oil and goes off to make a cup of tea or answer the phone while the oil drains. Ordinarily, this is a great idea, but not with a Ranger five-cylinder. If the oil is left drained (or draining) for more than about 10 minutes, the pump can `bleed out’. Then, when the sump is refilled, and the mechanic hits the key, the dry pump won’t prime itself, and the engine is effectively running without oil pressure.
Run like that for any length of time, and the engine will be shrapnel before you can say `big ends’. But it can be even worse, because the first instinct of many a would-be mechanic, on seeing the red oil pressure light glowing, is to give the engine a rev to make the light go out. Bad idea. Very bad.
Solution: It’s simple: Don’t leave a Ranger with an empty sump for any more than 10 minutes. Tops. Less is better. A fast oil change is a good oil change, in this case.
Workshops we spoke to reckon it’s also a good idea to fill the new oil filter with fresh oil before fitting it. Oh, and change the filter before dropping the oil from the sump. But if you have been caught out, the pump can be re-primed, but it isn’t simple.
Home remedies we’ve heard of include filling (literally) the engine with 15 litres or so of oil, letting it sit overnight and then draining off the excess, and even using compressed air to pressurise the crankcase and force oil through the pump. But we wouldn’t try any of those at home, to be honest.
Problem – Injection failure: The Ranger is far from being alone on this one, but it’s a problem that owners of common-rail injected diesels can’t ignore. A lot is going on in a modern common-rail turbo-diesel, and it seems it’s that level of complexity that is causing injectors to fail at very modest mileages (like, less than 70,000km in some cases).
The enormous pressures involved in direct-injection mean that the injectors and the pump are continually working hard to keep the Ranger rolling down the road. Now, if you’re unlucky enough to combine that work ethic with a tankful of fuel that is even slightly contaminated with water (or anything else, but water’s the biggie) you’ll soon have dramas.
Because water doesn’t lubricate as diesel does, any H2O going through the high-pressure pump will make a mess of it internally. But contaminants won’t stop there and can quickly damage an individual fuel injector(s). At that point, you’re looking at a new pump and injectors at about a grand apiece (and there’s five of them in as Ranger 3.2, remember). And it only gets worse: Should a damaged injector stick open and pour fuel into the cylinder, that piston can actually get so hot it burns a hole in the slug’s crown. Ouch. Hello new engine.
Solution: Ford Australia, like many manufacturers, doesn’t like the idea of fitting auxiliary fuel filters. The official line is that the smaller-micron filtering of these units isn’t compatible with the pressures the injection operates on. But our expert spanner-twirlers reckon a finer filter is okay if it’s fitted upstream of the high-pressure pump (i.e.; between the pump and the fuel tank). It’s no guarantee that you’ll never get dirty fuel in the engine, but it’s a hell of a lot better than nothing.
Also, don’t ignore a check-engine light, as sometimes, a damaged injector-pump return valve can stick and overheat the fuel, sending the vehicle into limp-home mode. The other advice is to be a bit picky from about where you buy your fuel. And if the refinery tanker is on the forecourt when you arrive to fuel up, keep driving and find another servo. That’s because dumping a few thousand litres of fuel into an almost empty underground tank is a sure way to stir up whatever water and sediment are already in there.
Problem – Flywheel and clutch worries: While it’s a fact that the vast majority of Ranges 3.2s were sold with the six-speed automatic transmission, a small percentage of buyers went for the version with three pedals. There’s nothing wrong with the six-speed manual gearbox itself, but a few owners have found out the hard way about the standard dual-mass flywheel (DMF).
The DMF is an engineering solution for the vibrations and driveline shunt inherent in a lot of modern engines that produce big Newton-metre at grumbly-low engine revs. Fundamentally a flywheel within a flywheel with springs to join the two sections, the DMF allows for a bit of `give’ during gear changes to smooth things out. The problem is that in such a torquey beast as the Ranger (especially one with a driveline hitched up to 3.5 tonnes of trailer and Bobcat) the DMF cops a terrible hammering and can, literally, fall apart on the job. Some owners have also found that the harmonic-damping of the DMF has encouraged early clutch wear.
Solution: It doesn’t do anything (at all) for the smoothness of gear changes, but some Ranger owners have switched to a conventional, single-mass (solid) flywheel. It’s a gearbox-out job, and it requires a new clutch assembly, so it’s not a cheap fix, but it does get you around all those DMF durability worries. Various companies make a conversion kit for this exact application.
Problem – EGR coolers: Modern engines use pretty sophisticated methods for keeping their emissions clean, and one of those is the Exhaust-Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve. On the 3.2 (and 2.2) Ranger, this valve is water-cooled, using the same coolant as the engine itself.
The problem is that the cooler can split, leading to a loss of coolant from the radiator. In turn, that can cause the engine to overheat and the head gasket to blow. In a lot of cases, coolant from the split EGR cooler gets into the exhaust manifold, but we’ve also heard of the odd example where the coolant has got into the cylinders and hydraulicked the engine.
Solution: A specialist workshop will be able to test your EGR to see whether it’s leaking or not. The test involves pumping fluorescent fluid into the EGR assembly, pressurising the EGR to beyond its normal operating pressure and checking for leaks with fluorescent light. The test should be done with the fluoro liquid both hot and cold, as some EGRs seem to leak with the engine hot or cold but not both. It’s a pain in the neck, though, as the ERGR is right at the back of the engine behind the cylinder head, so it’s fiddly.
One switched-on workshop we spoke to reckon the problem is that the coolant for the EGR has to first pass through the heater matrix inside the cabin. The theory is that the heater slows the coolant too much, and it gets too hot, causing the cooler to split. A secondary coolant path to the EGR has worked in some cases where a vehicle has suffered multiple cooler failures.
The other thing to bear in mind is that this test will only tell you if your EGR is leaking now. It’s not a crystal ball for gazing into the EGR’s future and many workshops recommend replacing the EGR valve at regular intervals.

On the 20th of June 2017, Ethiopia inaugurated what is believed to be the first specialised, sustainable textile and garments industrial park in Africa. The opening of the Chinese-constructed Hawassa Industrial Park (HIP) marks a significant step in Ethiopia’s goal to become Africa’s leading manufacturing hub by 2025.
“The full operation of the Hawassa industrial park is the most evident and concrete example yet towards achieving our national vision and marks a milestone in our quest to industrialisation” (Sudan Tribune, 20.06.2017).
- For more than a decade, Ethiopia has been one of Africa’s top performing economies; but with a rapidly growing population, the government is keen to capitalise on its double-digit growth – largely through industrialisation and investing in the manufacturing sector in particular.
- The development of industrial parks is a key factor in Ethiopia’s efforts to transform the economy, and to create jobs for the country’s fast growing population.
- Despite the government’s concerted efforts to create an attractive investment environment, Ethiopia remains a challenging place to do business.
"Population growth…is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity…if it's linked with quite rapid economic growth" (BBC News, 24.08.2017).

MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson said this week that presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg (D) has a huge problem because even President Donald Trump is more popular than Buttigieg with the party’s most important voters—black Democrats.
Johnson, The Root’s politics editor and one of the most prominent pundits on racial politics and issues, made his remarks after two national polls (CNN, Quinnipiac) this week found that the South Bend, Indiana, Mayor has 0% support from black Democrats.
“At this point, Donald Trump is more popular with black voters than Mayor Pete,” Johnson said. “That is a problem if you are a Democrat running for office.”
At Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH conference on Tuesday, Buttigieg whined that the media keep pestering about his abysmal poll numbers with black Democrats, who will likely make up 60% of the electorate in South Carolina’s critical first-in-the-South primary that will make or break many candidacies.
“I am asked how I’m going to earn the black vote in the polls ten times more often than how my policies would benefit black Americans,” Buttigieg reportedly said. “It’s as if I’m being asked more about how to win than how to deserve to win.”
Then in what may have been another tone-deaf moment for an egghead candidate who has been criticized as being the epitome of a “briefing-book Democrat” who is unable to empathize with various constituencies, Buttigieg said that black Democrats “need to understand the details” of his Douglass Plan for black America.
After a white South Bend police officer, who did not have his body camera turned on, killed a black resident, Buttigieg, who had already lost the trust of many black residents when he demoted the city’s first black police chief because he secretly recored white officers allegedly making racist comments, was slammed for bungling the situation even though he left the campaign trail for a few days to address the police shooting. The Washington Post noted that “instead of showcasing Buttigieg’s ability to lead through a crisis,” the South Bend shooting “is exposing what has long been considered an Achilles’ heel of his candidacy: his frosty relationship with South Bend’s black residents.”
Buttigieg reportedly “alienated the family of the dead man, Eric Logan” when he spoke to the media before the family, “skipped a vigil at the scene of the shooting, and sought advice from outsiders, including the Rev. Al Sharpton of New York.” Buttigieg has been panned for not being able to name black activists in South Bend who support him, and the Post noted that to many of Buttigieg’s detractors, his actions after the shooting again showed that “he still doesn’t get it.”
Oliver Davis, “the longest-serving black member of the South Bend Common Council,” told the Post: “How’s he handling it?. Well, he talked to the media before the family. He skipped the family vigil, full of black residents. And then he then gave a speech to the police. So, how do you think that went over?”
While addressing protesters, Buttigieg seemed out of his depth and had another awkward interaction with activists while speaking with a bullhorn even though activists were just a few feet away from him.
“You’re running for president? And you want black people to vote for you? That’s not gonna happen,” a female black resident shouted at Buttigieg, who responded, “I’m not asking for your vote.”
“You’re not gonna get it, either,” the activist then replied.
When asked during last week’s debate why South Bend’s police department did not have more people of color, Buttigieg replied: “Because I couldn’t get it done.”
Buttigieg hauled in $24 million last quarter, but the South Bend mayor cannot win his party’s nomination if he continues to poll at 0% with black Democrats.

Vietnam’s leading mobile retailer The Gioi Di Dong has announced it will shut down its sportswear stores in Vietnam and electronics store chain in Cambodia.
A representative of The Gioi Di Dong confirmed to Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Friday that the company will close its AVASport and Bluetronics chains this year.
In the report on business results sent to investors, the firm stated the two chains do not have the potential to contribute significant revenue or profit in the future.
AVASport is a chain of authentic sporting goods stores in Vietnam, while Bluetronics is a chain of electronics outlets in Cambodia.
The Cambodian market is fairly small and the tax policy is complicated, Doan Van Hieu Em, CEO of The Gioi Di Dong, said during a meeting with investors.
If strictly complying with sales and tax policies, Bluetronics will have to sell its products at about 10-15 percent higher than market prices.
If the chain lowers its prices to compete with other brands, there will not be any profit.
The Bluetronics chain has been operating in Cambodia since 2017 and was expected to be a stepping stone for The Gioi Di Dong’s ambition to expand its operations in Southeast Asia.
This chain had up to 50 stores in Cambodia in 2021, of which only two remain open at present.
Meanwhile, the AVASport chain opened in Vietnam in early 2022 but it did not achieve the desired business results.
“The unfavorable macro-situation, weak demand, thrifty consumption trends, and high operating costs are expected to continue in 2023,” The Gioi Di Dong stated in its report.

text: "Isn't Mommy going with you?" Little guy Wei Qu Baba looks at her and looks forward to it. Xia Xinnian was motionless, and only raised his hand to touch his little face: "Mommy will pick you up later. I'll talk to your daddy today." In fact, the little guy is very smart. Seeing that he pretends to be aggrieved, he can't let mommy go, so he has to give up. "Well, Mommy must miss me!" The little guy nodded obediently. "Well, I've been thinking about you all day!" Xia Xinnian's mouth rises gently. Standing not far away in jimucheng, it's hard to see Xia Xinnian's gentle and watery appearance, because she looks at her son's eyes, full of the light of maternal love, just like the sunshine in early spring, which is warm. Jimucheng can't help thinking about it in the bottom of her heart. If this woman looks at herself with this kind of gentle eyes and doesn't know what it's like, it's not bad. Xia Xinnian comforts his son and drives away without saying goodbye to jimucheng. The man who has been neglected has a gloomy face for a moment. What is the quality of this woman? Xia Xinnian drove to the company. In the early morning, the company was already busy. Xia Xinnian is creating a new design in the office. Suddenly, she hears someone call her at the front desk. "Miss Xia, someone is looking for you!" Xia Xinnian thought that only when the customer came, she put down her work, took her mobile phone and went to the front desk. "In the reception room over there, it's a very handsome man!" The front desk winked at her. Xia Xinnian chuckles. No matter how handsome the man is, she has seen him, but also so. Pushing open the door of the reception room, Xia Xinnian's smile suddenly stopped and solidified on his face. "I haven't seen you for a long time!" The man on the sofa got up and threw a complex smile at her. Xia Xinnian almost didn't think about it. He turned around and left. "Mind, don't go!" He Jiaxuan stepped forward fiercely, extended his long arm and tried to hold her wrist. Xia Xinnian was disgusted. He threw him away and said with a sneer, "what do you want to do with me?" He Jiaxuan's handsome face flashed a flash of self reproach and his voice sank: "I'm here to apologize to you? Xinnian, I'm sorry. I've done a very bad thing to you before. I've been very guilty. I want to mend this mistake! " Xia Xinnian listens to his hypocritical words, only to his satire. Does he think he is wrong? Want to mend the mystery? What is she? Excuse me, can you erase everything? "I've seen your happiness and love. Please don't hit me again. He Jiaxuan, you're not wrong. Who makes you love?" Xia Xinnian said sarcastically, with a cold face. He Jiaxuan looked at the woman in front of her for a moment and found that Xia Xinnian did have some unusual aura. Before, she didn't even have the courage to look up and talk to him. She always looked shy and timid. But now, she can not only look him in the eye, but also say the sarcastic words calmly. What she has changed is not only that she has the courage to look up and talk to him Her appearance, and the pride in her bones. He Jiaxuan inevitably wants to make a comparison between her and his wife Xia shuran. At last, he finds that he even has a feeling for Xia Xinnian. This kind of feeling is very direct, also very strong. When he Jiaxuan reaches for her bright and moving eyes, he Jiaxuan wants to reach out and hug her, which helps him to understand his love for her when he dreams back at midnight for many years. However, Xia Xinnian is no longer the gentle flower in his memory. Now she has thorns all over her body, hot and gorgeous, which makes people itch. "Xinnian, how are you doing abroad?" He Jiaxuan continues his gentle attack. "It's none of your business!" Xia Xinnian listens, only feels nausea. "I've been very concerned about you. You're back home now. If you need any help, you can come to me at any time!" He Jiaxuan's face is thicker, he said with a gentle smile. Xia Xinnian really didn't want to see his false face again, but coldly said: "you come to me, that's what you want to say? Is not afraid to let Xia shuran know? " Hearing Xia shuran's name, he Jiaxuan's face changed a little. "I'm actually here to remind you of something!" He Jiaxuan said the point. "Oh? Are you so kind? If I had been reminded that year, I would not have today's results. " Xia Xinnian's resentful eyes are fixed on him. This man, she once loved, obsessed with, hated and cursed. Now, he appears again, but Xia Xinnian finds that those emotions are gone. She just wanted to think that she had never seen this person in her life. "Jimucheng is playing with you. Don't get trapped!" He Jiaxuan said directly. Xia Xinnian's face changed a little. He stared at him with cold hatred: "what do you say about him?" "On his birthday, please dance a dance, I can see that he intends to pursue you, you must be calm, his kind of man, will not be serious about feelings, he will only play you, tired of playing, kick you!" He Jiaxuan's boastful persuasion. Xia Xinnian really wants to look up and sneer three times. Where does this man come from to say these words? Isn't he talking about himself? "My relationship with him doesn't bother you. Even if I want him to play, it's my business!" In order to infuriate the man and trample on his kindness, Xia Xinnian said it deliberately. "Xinnian, I know you are not a casual woman. You are worth a better man. Don't practice yourself. It's not good for you!" As soon as he Jiaxuan thought that she might be defiled by jimucheng, he was too anxious to do so, because once she was wanted by jimucheng, he Jiaxuan would never touch her again. This selfish man, even now, is selfish. Xia Xinnian laughed sarcastically: "better man? Are you talking about yourself? He Jiaxuan, where do you come from to dare to say that you are a good man? " "Xinnian, I have already regretted. I know you are the woman who loves me the most. I am blind, and I have no choice to be with you." He Jiaxuan thought that she was the innocent girl in those days, so she would say this kind of affectionate words. Unfortunately, he was wrong. "You're not blind. You're very smart. When your family needed capital turnover, but I couldn't help you, you married Xia shuran. The next thing, you don't need me to say it. You know it!" Xia Xinnian said that his hatred and anger were more serious in his eyes. He Jiaxuan is frozen in place, handsome and mature, pale. Xia Xinnian slams the door and goes. He Jiaxuan's expression has changed for a long time, which is not willing to leave. Xia Xinnian sits in the office with his hands clenched into fists. She doesn't expect he Jiaxuan to have the face to look for her. It's a fake face. The mood of the day was affected by the scum man.

Farewell Plant Oxford, the birthplace of BMW’s Minis where the first batch rolled off the production line in 1959. And now it’s “Hello” China, where the manufacturing of the two most popular EV models including the electric hatchback and small SUV Minis will be commerce by the end of 2023. However, despite the move, Plant Oxford will remain “at the heart of Mini production”, a spokesperson for the German luxury automaker asserted.
The move occurred because “the Cowley plant in Oxford was running inefficiently by having to produce electric and petrol cars on the same line”, explained Stefanie Wurst, head of Mini in an interview with the Guardian, “Oxford is not geared up for electric vehicles. It will need renovation and investment,” added Wurst.
The inadequacy of its home factory is coupled with the global semiconductor chip shortage that has been hard-hitting for the automotive industry since last year, and resulted in the “temporary suspension” of Mini production in February, after several shutdowns in 2021 due to the same issue.
So, has BMW found the answer to its EV line challenges in China? Given China’s current dominance in the world’s EV market with the country contributing 53% of global electric vehicle sales in 2021. These products continue to be all the rage with China’s EV sector clocking up 4.71 million and 4.56 million units respectively in output and sales over the past three quarters in 2022, surpassing 2021’s total-year records. This momentum is coupled with the government’s carbon neutral pledge which favours the EV industry, the Chinese market seems to be the key to Mini’s global strategy.
With the EV market burgeoning, concerns have been raised following the “unprecedented” ban on chips and relevant products sold to China, as introduced by the Biden administration earlier in October, which has furthered the global chip crisis and debilitated China in the process.
However, analysts believe the EV industry is unlikely to be affected as the US ban is mainly expected to stunt China’s military and quantum computing sectors with curbs on advanced semiconductor technology, as observed by Yu (Frank) Du, China Research Lead at Rho Motion, a London-based EV market intelligence consultancy.
“However, the chip ban will have an immediate impact on the autonomous drive and AI-enabled functions. For the EV industry, the real question is: will the US ban chip exports to China 100%? Personally, I believe the possibility is low. China imported chips valued at about $400 billion in 2021, a new record in history. US chip makers simply cannot find an alternative buyer like China in the world at the moment,” Du told Dao Insights.
Right before the announcement of Mini’s relocation, BMW teased the world’s biggest EV buyer by bringing an Asian market debut of its first pure electric crossover concept car, the Mini Concept Aceman to China’s metropolis of Shanghai in September. The new model showcased the world’s first circular OLED central display which allows gesture controls, enabling an interactive and playful digital onboarding environment while also showing the brand’s commitment to levelling up EV products through forward-thinking technologies. However, a restricted high-end chip supply would turn the screw on the production and development of these new features.
Nevertheless, BMW has long been paving a way for the big move. Since as early as 2018, BMW Group signed a joint venture with the Chinese automotive manufacturer Great Wall Motor, giving birth to the “Spotlight Automotive Limited” project. A total investment of 5.1 billion RMB ($704 million) was injected into building a facility in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu province which is set to churn out an annual production capacity of 160,000 units upon its expected completion in 2022.
“BMW has deep roots in China’s automotive industry and has made significant investments,” Du continued, “the group is expected to further invest in its only overseas battery R&D and production centre in China…In terms of competition against China’s OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), the BMW brand is favoured by Chinese consumers thanks to its tailored strategies for the market. Therefore, BMW definitely stands a chance in the highly competitive Chinese EV market.”
“Mini’s relocation is a result of careful consideration by BMW rather than a random move to reduce electricity bills. Cost efficiency is very important for the brand. Thus, it is logical for BMW to relocate Mini’s production and leverage the mature EV supply chain in China,” Du added.


NEOMIR is an asteroid-spotter that shall be in orbit, positioned on the first Lagrange level between the solar and the Earth. This particular orbit, which is similar one utilized by the James Webb House Telescope, would permit the telescope to sit down in a location with a view of asteroids coming in direction of Earth from the course of the solar.
The telescope can even look within the infrared as a substitute of the seen mild spectrum, so it is going to be capable of see asteroids even when they’re darkish. Some are product of lighter materials, thus extra reflective, however others are darker and more durable to detect within the seen mild spectrum. By trying within the infrared, the telescope can see the asteroids’ warmth signatures it doesn’t matter what colour they’re.
Trying within the infrared additionally signifies that the telescope will be capable to see the warmth coming from the asteroids with out them being hidden by the brilliant mild of the solar. By inserting the telescope in house as a substitute of on the bottom, it is going to be capable of see these infrared indicators extra clearly as Earth’s environment will not in the best way.
“Being located exterior of Earth’s distorting environment and with a telescope observing in infrared mild, NEOMIR will monitor a detailed ring across the Solar that’s unattainable to look at from the bottom. The mission will detect asteroids passing between Earth and the Solar – any that pose a menace and that we can not at present see should go by this ring,” the European House Company explains.

We're having a new TV commercial made, so we uploaded a few of our past TV commercials to YouTube so the guy (Scott King) could see what we've done in the past. Here's one of them. Happy Viewing!


As the results of the tight New Jersey gubernatorial race poured in after Tuesday’s election, social media users began to falsely claim that real-time election results from news outlets showed evidence of fraud election in the most populous county in the state.
In reality, the publications misunderstood the real-time election reporting tags used in the Associated Press election data and reached the wrong conclusions about the Bergen County tally. Specifically, they focused on a label on those results that said 100% of ridings reported, not understanding that the percentage did not include mail-in ballots.
Even after incumbent Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy claimed a statewide victory over Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli on Wednesday night, baseless claims Democrats infamated ballots in the race in the dead of night have continued to spread online by the thousands.
Here’s a closer look at the facts.
CLAIM: Online election results presented on news websites show that by midnight after the New Jersey gubernatorial election, Ciattarelli had won Bergen County with 100% of constituencies reporting. By morning, Murphy had sort of taken the lead and over 41,000 more votes in total had been added, suggesting potential fraud.
THE FACTS: The results do not indicate fraud. Although 100% of constituencies reported their in-person voting results late Tuesday evening, those constituency-level results did not include the Bergen County mail-in ballots, according to an AP spokesperson. , whose data was used for live elections. results on various information sites. More than 41,000 mail-in ballots were added to the tally early Wednesday morning, explaining Murphy’s pre-dawn boost.
Screenshots showing election cards and news agency tables began to spread on social media on Wednesday morning, with users insisting the images showed evidence of wrongdoing.
“At midnight, Bergen County (the largest county) was marked 100% … and in red,” said a text overlay on a widely circulated screenshot of an Instagram story. “At 7:30 am, they ‘found’ more votes and it went blue?!?! “
“New Jersey Forensic Audit,” reads a tweet that has been shared thousands of times. “Something smells good in Bergen County. “
Despite the confusion, there is a simple explanation, according to PA spokesperson Lauren Easton: 100% of constituency reports do not mean 100% of all ballots were counted.
“For example, in New Jersey, mail-in ballots are generally not included with the results of individual districts, but are instead compiled by the county and added to the results separately,” Easton said in an email. “Bergen County had informed prior to election day that it had received over 42,000 mail-in ballots. When the county reported most of those votes early Wednesday morning, AP added them to its tally. “
“Reports in constituencies are usually an accurate measure of the progress of in-person voting in constituencies on election day, but in many cases they do not account for advance or mail-in ballots,” Easton said. . “In some cases, a constituency may signal its vote in multiple stages during election night. “
Bergen County Election Division Supervisor Sabrina Taranto has confirmed that 100% of constituency reports do not mean all the ballots have been counted. Instead, she told the AP in an email, it means that “70 of the 70 cities in the Bergen County Election Day machine vote have been received and counted.”
“These totals do not reflect any other type of voting such as postal voting, provisional votes, early voting, etc.,” Taranto wrote. “This is the standard method followed by our office for each election. “
AP called the governor’s race for Murphy on Wednesday night when a batch of Republican-leaning Monmouth County votes increased Murphy’s lead and made a Ciattarelli victory impossible.
This is part of AP’s efforts to tackle widely shared disinformation, including working with outside companies and organizations to add factual context to the deceptive content circulating online. Learn more about fact checking at AP.

Nora Archibald, of Alderbrook Road, stepped out of her Volvo station wagon after a fender-bender in which her car rear-ended another one as both headed north on Seven Bridges Road during the heavy snowfall at about 10:45 a.m., said police Chief Dan Shaffery.
The accident occurred near the intersection of Rumson Road.
As Archibald exited her car, however, it continued forward, and the victim became entangled in the seat belt, Shaffery said.
Archibald was dragged a short distance before she became free. Initial reports that she was run over by her own vehicle proved mistaken, Shaffery said.
The car continued across Rumson Road, jumped a curb and came to rest against a tree.
Archibald was transported by medics to Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch. No immediate information was available about her condition, Shaffery said.
The driver of the car that was struck, Ed Devine, also of Little Silver, was unhurt.

PIERRE, S.D. – The bridge within Randall Creek Recreation Area near Pickstown has been closed after sustaining structural damage during a flash flood in March.
Since the bridge is the only access to the park’s campground, the campground will be closed for the summer of 2019. Park officials have issued full refunds to campers with existing reservations.
“We are working to find a solution to get bridge replaced as soon as possible,” said district park supervisor, Jon Corey. “The good news is that the park still has a lot of recreational opportunities to offer, from boating to birdwatching. The day use facilities were not affected, and we encourage folks to come out and spend the day at the park.”
The day use area includes a picnic area with reservable shelters, a nine-hole disc golf course, volleyball area, and boat ramp access to the Missouri River.
For more information, contact the park office at 605.487.7046
Randall Creek Recreation Area is located one mile west of Pickstown, S.D. off US Highway 281.
