I've been taking clay pigeon shooting lessons for a while and I'm pretty good at it. When I first started, I didn't even know how to properly operate a gun. I was afraid that I was going to shoot myself or someone else around me. Everyone else seemed so comfortable with the gun, but to me, it was something that I didn't even want to hold. Over time, with the guidance of my instructor, I became more comfortable around the gun and learned how to shoot with it. As I spent more time with the gun, I became better at aiming.
The moving targets are a little hard to aim at when you first start shooting. Even when you have a cue that the target is about to be thrown into the air, there's a bit of a moment between when you hear the cue and when you start to aim and fire at the target. Sometimes I would fire too early and miss the target, and other times I would fire too late. Getting the timing right comes with repetition and learning about how the target will travel, based on the environment. Wind can sometimes play a factor in the target's movement, and you have to adjust according to its direction.
I'm not completely perfect at shooting. There are times when I still miss targets, but now I hit way more targets than I miss. Even my instructor is impressed with the rate at which I've been progressing in the lessons. I'd love to try my hand at competing against some of the other shooters in the area. It would give me a chance to test my skills that I've learned so far and see how I stack up. If I lose, I would have something to strive for in the next competition.

When building a new family coaster you’ll find that most parks will settle for an ‘off the shelf’ steel coaster. Sometimes however, parks are inspired to build something new and unique. Gulliver’s World did just that.
In 1995, a major wooden coaster hadn’t been built for over 50 years – until the construction of Antelope. The ride was the UK’s first ‘new era’ wood coaster.
The figure-of-eight layout is designed to give the braver visitors to Gulliver’s a thrilling ride, yet it retains the park’s overall family feel with a modest overall height.
During an interview with us, the chains’s Managing Director Julie Dalton explained the story behind the construction of the coaster, “The Antelope was the brainchild of my father, who founded our company in 1978. It was my dad’s ambition to build a timber-framed roller coaster – that’s the ultimate dream for a man who loves wood! He initially went to America to buy a design but realised the best talent was here in the UK. He put a team together and they built the ride.”
Gulliver’s Valley, the chain’s latest venture currently under construction is also rumoured to feature a wooden roller coaster when it opens in 2020.

Farmscape for December 7, 2018
Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan has named the 2018 recipient of its annual Farm and Food Care Champion Award.
The Farm and Food Care Champion Award was established to recognize the efforts of an individual who has taken the initiative to educate consumers about agriculture in the province of Saskatchewan.
The 2018 award was presented yesterday in Saskatoon as part of Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan's 2018 Farms at the Table Conference.
Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan Executive Director Clinton Monchuk says this award stresses the importance of how we all need to get out there and make sure consumers understand what we're doing.
Clip-Clinton Monchuk-Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan:
This year's winner was Sherri Grant.
Sherri ranches in the Val Marie area with her husband Lynn.
She's been a very dedicated volunteer for numerous years.
We always see her at Agribition, she's always involved with kids, very active on the beef side promoting the industry and again promoting what their farm and their ranch is doing down in Val Marie.
She's really taken an active role with things like the educational portions of Agribition.
She's even authored a book called where beef comes from.
She explains in the book in easy to understand terms that a child can understand how that calf is raised and what ranch life looks like all the way to the feedlot and processing.
I think these are the truthful and transparent messages that we need to get out to consumers.
She really is a champion on the beef side of things and somebody that we need to celebrate.
She truly is a champion for agriculture here in this province.
Monchuk says we're in a state where less than three percent of the population has a direct tie to a farm or a ranch.
He says consumers are getting their information from other sources so we need to make sure we're active in sharing our stories so consumers understand the truth of what we do on our farms.
For Farmscape.Ca, I'm Bruce Cochrane.

- California Sen. Kamala Harris, an outspoken voice of the anti-Trump “Resistance,” ran for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and is now on former Vice President Joe Biden’s shortlist of potential running mates.
- After 25 years as a prosecutor and California’s “top cop,” Harris saw a rapid, dazzling political rise from San Francisco’s district attorney to presidential candidate in less than a decade.
Kamala Harris burst onto the national stage in 2016 when she was elected as the second-ever Black woman to serve in the US Senate, celebrated by Democrats as a bright spot in a dark period for the party.
After 25 years as a prosecutor and California’s “top cop,” Harris saw a rapid, dazzling political rise from San Francisco’s district attorney to presidential candidate in less than a decade.
After dropping out of the Democratic primary race last December, Harris has allied herself with former Vice President Joe Biden, now the presumptive nominee. Now, Harris is reportedly on Biden’s vice presidential shortlist.
Becoming California’s “top cop”
Kamala Harris was raised in Oakland, California by an Indian mother and a Jamaican father, both immigrants who met as young activists in the civil rights movement.
After attending Howard University, the historically black college in Washington, DC, and law school at UC Hastings, Harris worked for eight years in the Alameda County District Attorney’s office, where she prosecuted child sexual assault cases.
She served as San Francisco’s district attorney from 2004 to 2011 and California’s attorney general from 2011 until 2017.
Pursuing reforms, cautiously.
As California attorney general, Harris caught the attention of national Democrats, including President Barack Obama.
In her home state, Harris developed a reputation as a shrewd, but cautious “top cop.”
She championed some progressive reforms in her home state, including instituting a program in San Francisco that offered first-time drug offenders education and work opportunities instead of jail time.
But she also defended the state’s death penalty and fought to more harshly punish the parents of chronically truant school children.
Finding a national stage.
In 2012, four years before she ran for the US Senate, Harris drew national attention when she spoke at the Democratic National Convention. She was soon recognised as a rising star in the Democratic party.
Harris has already broken a series of glass ceilings. She was the first African-American woman to serve as San Francisco’s DA, the first woman of colour to serve as her state’s attorney general, and the first woman of colour to serve California in the US Senate. And she’s the second Black woman and first South Asian-American ever elected to the Senate.
A viral questioner
During her first few years in Washington, Harris has emerged as a strong, media-savvy voice for the anti-Trump “Resistance.” Clips of her grilling former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and CIA Director Gina Haspel on the floor of the Senate have gone viral.
And she’s secured a place alongside some of the most progressive members of her caucus with a voting record that matches other former 2020 contenders, including fellow Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand.
Can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body?pic.twitter.com/lDcXPZ56hX
— Vice President Kamala Harris (@VP) September 6, 2018
Making policy on the Hill
As a senator, she’s signed on to a host of progressive policies, including reforming the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, and legalizing marijuana. But she’s positioned herself as a more moderate, pragmatic alternative to leaders of the progressive left, including Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
One of her signature policy proposals is a tax credit that would provide lower-income families monthly cash payments of up to $US500. She’s also worked to advance bail reform legislation and policies that would fight maternal death.
A field full of women
Harris was one of several women who ran in the 2020 Democratic primary. She was joined by fellow Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Amy Klobuchar and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
A past that could hurt her presidential prospects
As a presidential candidate, Harris’ 25-year career in law enforcement – including her two terms as San Francisco’s district attorney and five years as California’s attorney general – faced renewed scrutiny.
Law professor Lara Bazelon accused Harris of upholding wrongful convictions, covering up prosecutorial misconduct, and pursuing only cautious reforms during her tenure as California’s “top cop.”
In a January 2019 New York Times op-ed, Bazelon argued that if Harris “wants people who care about dismantling mass incarceration and correcting miscarriages of justice to vote for her, she needs to radically break with her past.”
A 2020 campaign cut short by lack of funds and enthusiasm
Harris announced her presidential bid on Martin Luther King Jr. Day – a clear recognition of the historic nature of her campaign.
She abruptly dropped out of the race in December 2019 as her campaign ran short on both funds and enthusiasm.
Harris confronts Biden on racial issues in viral debate exchange
In one of her most headline-grabbing campaign moments, Harris notably criticised Biden’s record on racial integration efforts and his collaboration with racist colleagues in the Senate.
“It was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country,” Harris told Biden in a June 2019 Democratic debate. “And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing.”
She went on, “There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me.”
Harris embraces Biden
Harris endorsed Biden on March 8, when the race had essentially been whittled down to Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders and several days after Biden dominated on Super Tuesday.
“I believe in Joe. I really believe in him, and I have known him for a long time,” she said in her announcement.
Harris has since campaigned alongside Biden and risen to the top of his list of potential running mates.

First of all, you must know what is suitable for your pet, as many cats suffer from allergies and digestion problems. So, you must be sure about what you choose for her. To discuss it more, let’s categorize cat food and reasons to choose any of them:
Types of Cat food in Pakistan
Online pet store in Pakistan offers various types of cat food that have their benefits and are suitable for different cat breeds based on their dietary requirements and preferences. They are as follows:
Dry cat food:
It is the most commonly found cat diet available at any local convenience pet store. It’s less messy; therefore, most pet parents prefer it, and it can be stored for a long time. The significant advantage of giving dry food to the cat is that it promotes dental health by reducing tartar and plaque buildup. However, for some cats, it’s not a good choice because such type of food requires more water intake, and in case of carelessness, it causes urinary tract issues. To avoid this problem, it is essential to keep the body hydrated.
Wet cat food:
Wet food has a high moisture content, and the reason for producing such food is to hydrate the cats because they don’t drink enough water. Experts suggest wet food for cats with dental or any digestion issues. If your cat is a picky eater, she will love the texture and aroma of the food. It’s expensive but preferable for multiple advantages.
Those mentioned above are the two primary choices of cat food in Pakistan. It’s essential to look for a completely balanced diet for your cat and choose the food accordingly. Cats are different in breed, size, weight, activity levels, and length, so you must select the food according to their need and growth requirements.
Essential Components of Cat Food
Some cats have specific allergies and dietary needs, so it’s always convenient to consult your veterinarian and discuss the food and its quantity. For a balanced diet, the necessary components of cat food include:
The quality of the best cat food in Pakistan contains the right amount of vitamins A, D, E, and B-complex. All the vitamins help support the cat’s well-being and overall health.
High-quality animal-based protein is one of the essential components of cat food. Protein is required for muscle growth and maintenance, and the major protein sources are fish, chicken, and turkey.
If you have a big or bulky cat, don’t think fats are not necessary for her diet. Some essential fats must be in your cats’ regular diet. These Fats, such as omega-3 and omega-6, are sources of essential fatty acids that generate energy and overall health, which are important for skin and coat.
Some minerals like phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and potassium must be in cat food for metabolism, muscle function, and bone health.
Wet cat food already has a higher moisture content, so the cat doesn’t require water enough directly. But if your cat is on a dry food diet, you must add plenty of water to keep her body hydrated.
An amino acid called is essential in cat food for better reproductive function, heart health, and vision.
The best cat food always contains all the above-mentioned nutrients, and ensuring that these components are present in the routine diet will support your pet’s overall health.

If you need more knowledge of cat food, then you must consult an expert or go to the vet and change your diet accordingly.
Things to consider while choosing the best Cat Food in Pakistan
Cat food in Pakistan comes in various forms and qualities, with several brands offering different options. Here are a few things that you must consider while looking for the best cat food:
1. High-Quality Protein and Balanced Nutrition:
Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they need a diet rich in animal-based protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals to support your cat’s overall health. Look for cat foods with protein as the primary ingredient, such as chicken, fish, or turkey.
2. Limited Fillers and No Artificial Additives:
Avoid cat foods with excessive fillers like corn, wheat, or soy, as these provide little nutritional value and can be challenging for cats to digest. Moreover, always choose cat foods without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, as these can harm your cat’s health in the long run.
3. Good Reputation:
Look for online pet stores and brands with a good reputation for ordering high-quality, safe cat food. You can check online reviews or ask your veterinarian for recommendations.
4. Life Stage Formulas:
Kittens, adult cats, and senior cats have different nutritional needs; consider your cat’s life stage when choosing formulas tailored to your cat’s stage of life.
5. Grain-Free Options:
If your cat has food sensitivities or allergies, it is one of the most important factors you must consider. Many cats are allergic to grains, so check the ingredients first before ordering.
Ensure the cat food is easily digestible to avoid digestive issues and that your cat can absorb the nutrients effectively. Wet food is always preferable for cats with digestion issues.
Wet food is more expensive as compared to dry food, but price only sometimes indicates quality; extremely cheap cat food may not provide the best nutrition. Look for a balance between affordability and quality. You can buy food in minimal quantities to avoid budget conflicts.
8. Consult Your Vet:
New or old pet parents, it’s always a good idea to consult with your veterinarian before making any significant changes to your cat’s diet, especially if your cat has specific health concerns or dietary needs.
By considering these qualities, you can choose the best cat food in Pakistan for your feline friend, ensuring they receive the nutrition they need for a healthy and happy life.
Pets are part of our lives, and caring for your feline friend is essential as a pet owner. Provide them with a balanced diet full of nutrients that help them deal with physical issues, body growth, and development. Get the best cat food in Pakistan at a discounted price from authorized online pet stores like Epets.pk.

By Jon Dougherty @TheNatSent
(TNS) As the administration ramps up its response to the continuing spread of Wuhan coronavirus, President Donald Trump is becoming increasingly frustrated with the constant carping coming from (mostly) Democratic governors and mayors.
Despite the fact that the government has stockpiled pandemic response supplies in warehouses around the country, anyone who’s been in government at the state or federal level for any length of time knows that it takes time, thanks to bureaucracy, for ‘things to happen’ like getting those supplies distributed.
- Check out “Epic Duel of 21st Century: China vs USA – Trump Goes All In” — download for FREE in Crisis Reports
Not to mention the fact that America is a big place with 50 states and right now, pretty much of all of them are experiencing shortages of medical supplies like personal protective equipment (PPE) — those masks, latex gloves, and paper-like gowns worn by healthcare staffers to protect themselves from becoming infected.
Mind you, we are short of those supplies in the normal global supply pipeline because of decisions made for decades by past presidents, congresses, and American corporations to offshore the majority of U.S. industrial capacity to make these items in our own country.
Nearly all of that capacity has been moved to China, a potential adversary and country that is responsible for this outbreak. The Chinese government has forbidden those supplies to be shipped out of the country because the Chinese government needs them for its own people. Go figure.
So, given all of this, it isn’t as though the president can snap his fingers and magically ship all of the PPE requested by, say, the governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer.
But that doesn’t mean there aren’t a lot of good people working 24/7 to get the states what they need. Thus, as a governor, publicly whining about what your state doesn’t have yet isn’t helpful because you’re not alone, by a long shot.
Trump finally seems to have gotten his belly full of the bitching, especially from Democrats whom he feels — probably correctly — are using the outbreak for political advantage, to try and make coronavirus his “Katrina.”
To that end, the president went off (as he does) on Whitmer Friday in some tweets, claiming — probably correctly — that she doesn’t know the full extent of what is being done in order to get states the medical equipment they need.
“I love Michigan, one of the reasons we are doing such a GREAT job for them during this horrible Pandemic. Yet your Governor, Gretchen ‘Half’ Whitmer is way in over her head, she doesn’t have a clue. Likes blaming everyone for her own ineptitude!” he wrote.
I love Michigan, one of the reasons we are doing such a GREAT job for them during this horrible Pandemic. Yet your Governor, Gretchen “Half” Whitmer is way in over her head, she doesn’t have a clue. Likes blaming everyone for her own ineptitude! #MAGA
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 28, 2021
Earlier, during a Friday briefing on the virus, Trump admitted he’s urged Vice President Mike Pence, the head of the task force, not to call Whitmer and discuss anything with her until she shows some appreciation for what the administration is trying to do.
“I think they should be appreciative,” he said of governors like Whitmer. “Because you know what? When they’re not appreciative to me, they’re not appreciative to the Army Corps, they’re not appreciative to FEMA, it’s not right. These people are incredible. They’re working 24 hours a day. I mean, Mike Pence, I don’t think he sleeps anymore.
“These are people that should be appreciated. He calls all the governors. I tell him, I mean, I’m a different type of person. I say, ‘Mike, don’t call the governor of Washington. You’re wasting your time with him. Don’t call the woman in Michigan.’ … If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call. He’s a different type of person. He’ll call quietly anyway, okay? But he’s done a great job. He should be appreciated for the job he’s done,” he continued.
The president was complaining about Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, noting that “he leveled out at zero in the polls, he’s constantly chirping, and I guess complaining would be a nice way of saying it.”
The president himself probably isn’t sleeping much, either, else we would have seen someone leak that to the New York Times.
For her part, Whitmer claimed that her state has been blackballed (by the Trump administration) from getting the supplies they need.
Speaking on Detroit radio station WWJ Friday, she insinuated that medical supply vendors are being told by the Trump administration to not conduct business with her state.
“When the federal government told us that we needed to go it ourselves, we started procuring every item we could get our hands-on,” she reportedly said. “What I’ve gotten back is that vendors with whom we had contracts are now being told not to send stuff here to Michigan. It’s really concerning.”
“We’ve entered into a number of contracts and as we are getting closer to the date when shipments are supposed to come in, they’re getting canceled or they’re getting delayed,” she reportedly added during an appearance slightly later on CNN. “We’ve been told they’re going first to the federal government.”
A night earlier, the president told Fox News the government was “sending her a lot” in terms of supplies.
Speaking on Fox News tonight, Trump attacks Michigan Gov. Whitmer on her coronavirus response: “She’s not stepping up. I don’t know if she knows what’s going on.”
Trump adds: “I love the people of Michigan” and “I’m bringing back…many car factories.” pic.twitter.com/yxXpGuxv91
— Niraj Warikoo (@nwarikoo) March 27, 2021
Which begot this response:
Hi, my name is Gretchen Whitmer, and that governor is me 👋
I've asked repeatedly and respectfully for help. We need it. No more political attacks, just PPEs, ventilators, N95 masks, test kits. You said you stand with Michigan — prove it. https://t.co/FtWlTLZdqW
— Governor Gretchen Whitmer (@GovWhitmer) March 27, 2021
Maybe there is some blame to be shared by both.
Because of confusing directives from the federal government, “states are being forced into bidding wars to get medical equipment to combat coronavirus,” according to Forbes.
Then again Whitmer has reportedly been requiring “pharmacists to police — and potentially second-guess — the health recommendations of doctors” as it pertains to the potential coronavirus cure chloroquine, as reported by Breitbart.
And there is this: Whitmer has an honesty problem.
So look, the thing is, taking these fights public isn’t helpful. They never are. But what we do know is this: Thanks to factors well beyond President Trump’s control, which occurred years before he took office, there are delays in getting much-needed supplies to states and healthcare centers at a time of pandemic.
If our leaders don’t learn anything from this, they must be replaced on Election Day.

The Montgomery County Masterworks Chorus under Roger Ames opened its season recently with a performance of Handel's oratorio, "Solomon," at the Albert Einstein High School in Kensington.
We are grateful to Ames for having given us the opportunity to hear "Solomon." The Masterworks Chorus did valiantly under its spirited conductor. Alas, his spirit at times was more willing than the vocal technique of his choir was able. Choral settings such as the "Nightingale Choir" and the moving "Draw the Tear," demand a higher degree of dynamic sophistication and vocal articulation than the chorus could produce.
Beverly Benso sang the title role with skill and conviction. This writer prefers a baritone voice for this role in spite of the fact Handel had a male alto voice in mind. Martha Randall, singing the air "Bless the Day" with a touch of Victorian prettiness, let the true sensuous character of music escape her. Linda Mabbs gave a moving rendition of the true mother's lament. "Can I See My Infant Gored?"
David Beckwith did splendidly in his part as the Levite.Too bad Handel treated this part in such a cavalier fashion depriving us of the vocal presence of this fine singer during the rest of the oratorio.

In Vitro Cytotoxic Potential and Apoptotic Activity of Bufadienolide-rich Fraction from Leaves of Kalanchoe mortagei against Human HeLa Cancer Cells
Keywords:Bufadienolides, Kalanchoe mortagei, apoptosis, citotoxic
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition as well as to assess the cytotoxicity of Kalanchoe mortagei. Materials and Methods: The plant chemical composition was determined by HPLC coupled to mass spectrometer. The cytotoxicity of methanol extract from leavesÂ of Kalanchoe mortagei (KB) was carried out against human cervical cancer cells (HeLa), breast cancer (MCF-7), brain cancer (U373),Â breast adenocarcinoma (MDA-MB-231) andÂ umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.Â KB was added at various concentrations of 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 Âµg/ml. In addtion, cell morphological changesÂ and apoptosis were also evaluated. Results: A bufadienolides-rich fraction (BRF) containing nine bufadienolides was identified by HPLC/MS whichÂ to significantly reduce proliferation of HeLa cells. Bufadienolides identified included 3Î²-Acetate Hellebrigenin, Bufotalinin, 19-Oxo-bufalin, Hellebrigenin, Monohydroxy-bufotalin, 19-oxo-desacetylcinobufagin, 1Î²-Hidroxybufalin, Bufalin, and 3-Dehydroxy cinobufagin. Discussion & Conclusion:Â K. mortagei contains bufadienolides with specific cytotoxic activity on cancer cells without affect to normal cells, suggesting that its consumption could be considered as a potential therapy against cancer

New 3400mah 18650 from MecArmy. I’ve never seen this before with the USB charging built into the battery. Not sure what the charging current is. Has a red light when charging and green light when fully charged. I generally like to use dedicated chargers, but I prefer this method over having charging ports on lights that compromise waterproofing. What do you think?
The MecArmy battery might be the same colour as the Untrafire one, but there, I suspect, the similarities end.
HKJ’s review of the MecArmy was posted here when it first appeared, and he rated it “good”. Charge current iirc is 0.5A
I bought one a couple of years ago, and it fits most of my 18650 lights, apart from the Zebralight sc600 and a couple of others (length was an issue in HKJ’s review). Handy thing to have, rather than cart a charger around.
Yeah, since most people will have their cell phone with them, one power supply could charge both the phone and this battery, without needing a charger bay to stick it in. But, I will continue using a dedicated charger for now.

Iraqi MP Ahmed al-Salmani warned on Monday of attempts to make a "demographic change" in districts located in northern Babel Governorate by kidnappings, killings and population displacement.
Al-Salmani said that families living in northern Babel districts received threats of liquidation if they did not flee from their districts within 24 hours.
Residents are forced to leave their houses amid government dead silence, he noted.
He also stated that 61 citizens were kidnapped from northern Babel districts a week ago while one resident was killed and his body left on a roadside.
He added that four days ago 15 civilians were abducted.
1,000 citizens were kidnapped, hundreds were killed and 100,000 displaced Iraqis were denied the right to return to their liberated districts over the past three years in northern Babel districts, al-Salmani said.
On Saturday, residents of Musayyib City in northern Babel pleaded for protection from atrocities by Hezbollah Shiite militia.
These pleas came as Hezbollah militias kidnap civilians and demand ransoms from their families and relatives.

Firmware can be upgraded on most of the Kontakt.io devices. This way we can introduce new functionality and improvements to existing beacons. Firmware upgrades are free and available to all customers.
Since Kontakt.io devices are based on different chipsets and have different sets of features, they usually have different firmware that is designed specifically for them.
All devices that use nRF51 chipset (Smart Beacon SB16-2, Tough Beacon TB15-1, USB Beacon UB16-2) share the same firmware, since their hardware platform is identical. They all have the same firmware version numbers.
The only beacon based on the DA14580 chipset - Card Tag CT16-2 - shares the same firmware versions as nRF51-based devices. Underneath, of course, there is a separate firmware specific to the Card Tag CT16-2 functionality. However, the most important limitation of this beacon is that its firmware cannot be upgraded.
All nRF52-based devices have their own firmware, tailored to their functionality. Because of that, firmware versions are completely independent.
When a new firmware version is released, Kio Cloud and our legacy Panel cloud-platform will display information about the firmware upgrade for relevant beacons on the list of devices assigned to the logged in account.
Applying firmware upgrades requires the Kontakt.io Administration App. The upgrade procedure is documented in this support article.

Daily Star Sunday editor Gareth Morgan has been made head of digital at Richard Desmond’s Northern & Shell.
Morgan will take up the position of group director of digital content with immediate effect as the company seeks to integrate its print and online news operations.
Northern & Shell has yet to appoint a replacement for Morgan as Daily Star Sunday editor.
Morgan will work across the Daily Express, Sunday Express, Daily Star and Daily Star Sunday as well as the group’s magazine websites, OK, News and Star.
The appointment comes after Northern & Shell last month announced it was creating 40 editorial online positions.
“I have 22 years of experience as a journalist, 20 of those on national newspapers and ten as a tabloid editor,” said Morgan.
“But I have never taken on anything as important as this. The transition from print-focused operation to a combined digital and print newsroom is essential to ensure the future of journalism – the profession I love.”
Northern & Shell editorial director Paul Ashford said: “I am delighted that Gareth is bringing his experience and journalistic flair to this newly created position.
“His instincts and creativity will enable us to develop a new digital environment to complement our existing print operations and continue the integration investment we have already begun.”


Finding Dory Coming to Theaters
Since the early 20th century, Disney has been making cartoons and other films. In 2006, The Walt Disney company bought the computer animation film studio corporation, Pixar, for $7.4 billion. This was a transaction that resulted in Pixar being Disney’s largest single shareholder at the time. In other words, Pixar was the biggest company that was part of Pixar
Pixar has created and released fifteen films, and they currently have eight movies in production. Pixar’s films include Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, Toy Story 3, Cars 2, Brave, Monsters University, and Inside Out.
These movies also scored huge in boxoffices. All fifteen Pixar films have received well over $300 million in boxoffices worldwide.
In 2003, Pixar created their second most popular film according to worldwide boxoffices, which was Finding Nemo. The movie received over $900 million in worldwide boxoffices. After gaining popularity, people wanted a sequel. In June of 2016, fans’ dreams will come true.
The sequel, which is coming to theaters thirteen years after Finding Nemo, is called Finding Dory. The movie, Finding Dory, will feature Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) the forgetful fish, embarking on a quest to reunite with her mother (Diane Keaton) and father (Eugene Levy), with the help of Nemo (Hayden Rolence) and Marlin (Albert Brooks).
Ellen DeGeneres, who plays the role of Dory in the film, told People Magazine why she was so excited to reprise this role.
“It means a lot to me because it is a really sweet character. And she’s flawed, and I think that it’s important for kids to grow up and see flawed characters,” DeGeneres said. “And she has a relationship with all the other fish and even though they’re frustrated with her, they love her.”
Besides DeGeneres, other people are excited about the movie too. Arrowhead junior Bronson Esteves, is also one of those people who is hoping for the best with this movie.
“I hope it lives up to its expectations and it’s been many years since the original movie came out,” said Esteves.
Because the original film, Finding Nemo, came out thirteen years ago, a new generation of kids will witness a film full of fish and friendship, Finding Dory.
Finding Dory is set to come out on June 17, 2016.

This article is by Mark Rogers, the founder and chief executive of BoardProspects.com.
President George Washington once said, “Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.” More than 200 years later, these words of wisdom offer a moment of contemplation for the board of trustees of Natixis Global Asset Management, one of the largest investment management firms in the world. The Boston Globe recently disclosed that Natixis entered into a seven-figure settlement in 2011 after allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination were made by a senior saleswomen against the company’s well-known chief executive, John Hailer. Unfortunately, such allegations are not uncommon in today’s corporate world (and it is important to point out that Natixis denied the allegations). What is exceptional in this case is that Natixis’ trustees were completely in the dark about the matter, including the settlement.
Natixis is not unlike many corporations in that it is a subsidiary of a much larger corporation. Often the trustees of a subsidiary are merely a legal formality and have little to no input on the company’s strategic direction or operations. This certainly appears to be the case with Natixis, which is owned and controlled by Paris-based Groupe BPCE. In responding to the Boston Globe’s investigation, the spokesperson for Natixis stated that the corporate board of Groupe BPCE was “aware of this matter throughout” but had no obligation to inform Natixis’ trustees. This is likely an accurate statement in accordance with the corporate bylaws. Natixis, however, isn’t exactly your typical subsidiary entity. It is the thirteenth largest investment management firm in the world, with more than $931 billion under management and 3,400 employees—not exactly a mom and pop shop.
In response to an inquiry from the Boston Globe, Sandra Moose, the chair of Natixis’ board, stated that she was not surprised that the trustees were not informed of the Hailer matter, because it wasn’t part of their “duty”—leaving one to wonder exactly what is the duty that earns Natixis' trustees between $180,000 and $265,000 a year for part-time work. Let’s assume for a moment that per the corporate bylaws the legal responsibility for this issue is indeed strictly within the purview of the corporate board at Groupe BPCE. Wouldn’t you as a board member of Groupe BPCE want the trustees of the subsidiary entity to at least be aware of the allegations, and perhaps even ask if they knew of any claims of inappropriate behavior on the part of their CEO? More important, wouldn’t you as a trustee of Natixis want to know of any such allegations and related settlement?
Corporate governance has come a long way since the days of Enron and Arthur Andersen, particularly in terms of disclosure and transparency. Perhaps these principles have not yet fully evolved at Groupe BPCE. Or maybe this is simply an issue of an internal breakdown in corporate communications between the parent and subsidiary entity. Regardless of the reason, Natixis’ trustees should absolutely have been apprised of this matter concurrent with the disclosure to Groupe BPCE’s board.
Any conscientious board member will tell you that the due diligence associated with determining whether or not to accept a board appointment should involve an analysis of the potential liability exposure one may face. This usually involves an examination of the corporation’s directors and officers insurance policy to determine whether there is appropriate coverage. There is of course no such insurance policy that covers reputational risk, as must be all too clear to Natixis’ trustees at the moment.
Natixis’ trustees now have a pretty good understanding of where they stand in the eyes of Groupe BPCE’s board. As a result they must grapple with concern about what else Groupe BPCE’s corporate board may be failing to disclose to them. They should not in any way face criticism for being kept out of the Hailer settlement. However, they are now on notice and are certainly subject to public scrutiny if another incident should arise at Natixis in which they are intentionally kept in the dark.
The only course of action that Natixis’ trustees can take to minimize their reputational risk is immediate resignation from the board. Whether or not they realize it yet, their reputation is far more important than the compensation and prestige they get from their board service.

Netflix shares trying for a Comeback
Netflix Inc (NFLX) is creeping up slowly from its 12 month low, its now regained 9% from its bottom of $56.55. Recall Netflix fell from $80 a share overnight to the low $60 range just weeks ago after it disappointed the world on its Q2 earnings call.
The company's Q2 call came down to lowered expectations on subscriber growth and the slow death of its DVD business. In order for Netflix to get back its $300 share price, where does the growth come from? Is the future for Netflix's growth dependent on its breakout into Europe and abroad?
The quick answer: No one is willing to pay a high multiple on Netflix shares if they can't deliver the growth and add subscribers.
Netflix believes it will be at 7 million subscribers by the end of 2012. If they don't hit that number and if we get any more warnings its an instant 52-week low for Netflix shares.
At this point to go long on Netflix is a leap of faith that they are going to hit their numbers. If they don't, shareholders will lose.
MASTERY Bottom line:
Mastery is keeping an eye on Netflix and at this point its beginning to look 'Netflixy'. With a decent bounce from its 12 month low, its time to add it to your watch list.
However if you are going to hold Netflix get ready for a bumpy ride if they deliver any more bad news in the coming weeks.

The New Zealand Government is giving Samoa an extra $6 million in aid money to recover from Cyclone Evan.
In December the storm caused major flooding, wrecked buildings and destroyed crops before moving on to batter Fiji.
Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully said the additional funding will ensure buildings can cope with natural disasters in future.
The money will also help restore essential public services and infrastructure.
The extra funding takes New Zealand's overall contribution to the Cyclone Evan recovery to $12.6 million.

I had the pleasure of spending the second day at Art is You Petaluma taking a class with Laurie Mika, the brilliant polymer clay artist and instructor.
This is a sample from the instructor that was our inspiration for the class.
Here was a second piece by Laurie. So richly detailed. How does she do it...?
We started with 4 packages of clay, rolled out with a 10" piece of pvc pipe. I mixed two blues together (they look really grey here - but they were blue! Laurie had a plethora of rubber stamps and molds for us to use and play with. This is just for the back - so it didn't need to be perfect.
Next we used gold leaf, but not ordinary gold leaf - this was EASY gold leaf - and it was! each sheet is backed with paper - so you can place it without it flying around and sticking to your fingers.
We had templates to choose from for the size and shape of our triptych.
This is how FREAKIN AWESOME the gold leaf looks after being stamped into with a plastic mold. it cracks and looks all vein-y and vintage.
I centered the template and cut it out with a straight edge and a scalpel for the curves.
I trimmed away the excess and rolled it up again. Sure - the gold leaf will add flecks to the remnants - but so what? they look really cool.
I used all my scraps to make other shapes with stamps and molds.
Then we added colour. just a dab here and there using fingers. to create a shimmery stained glass effect.
Here is my finished triptych with the central medallion and face. We added gems and seed beads before baking.This was a second piece i made with some additional clay. The lions were earrings. The crown just cut from a stamp. I just love the gold leaf crackle on the deep blue clay.
Here are some of the other students' work. I asked Laurie if we were the best class she ever taught? And she replied that we were the best Triptych class she ever taught, since it was her first time teaching it! I think the results are pretty darn impressive.

Nagpur: A midnight fire in a wine shop sparked panic as a number of liquor bottles were reduced to melting glass coupled with explosions. However, no casualties were reported even though material loss was stated to be in thousands.
The fire broke out in Johri Wines situated behind Lahoree Deluxe, Coffee House Square, Dharampeth, around 2 am on Wednesday (March 15). As some passersby noticed smoke billowing from the wine shop the Fire Brigade was informed. Three tenders were rushed to the spot and the fire was brought under control. Had the fire taken monstrous shape it would have been a major tragedy. An eye hospital is situated in the upper floor of the building apart from a number of adjoining shops. The crackling of wine bottles due to intense heat caused explosions, albeit of lower intensity. But the phenomenon was enough to trigger panic among nearby residents. Thick smoke engulfed the area. As a precaution, a fire tender was positioned at the spot till the dawn. The firefighters were taking no chance even though the fire was brought under control in the night itself.
The morning saw a crowd of curious onlookers gathered at the spot and speculating over the cause of the fire which has not been ascertained by Fire Brigade personnel so far.

Donna D’Errico is proving haters wrong. The 54-year-old Baywatch actress shared a sexy video on Instagram on Friday, Jan. 6 to show off her toned physique and show haters that she’s not too old to wear bikinis. The stunning actress modeled a white, sequin-covered bikini and a skimpy red two-piece in the video as “Feeling Good” by Michael Bublé played over it. She made sure to twirl around to offer followers all angles of her fantastic figure.
“Someone please tell me again how I’m too old to be wearing bikinis. Next!” she confidently wrote in the caption. Her followers were quick to support her. “Haters gonna hate, do you and don’t look back,” one person wrote. Another added, “Donna, sorry, problem is: you are too hot for those bikinis! Girl, you are amazing!” Dozens of others shared similar sentiments in Donna’s comment section.
This is far from the first time Donna has hit back at haters who shame her for being confident in her body. In July 2022, she posted a sizzling photo of herself posing in a white bikini in response to the backlash she received for posting herself singing “God Bless The U.S.A.” while wearing a teeny bikini that was printed with the American flag on Independence Day. “Quite a few women complained about the 4th of July video I posted in a red white & blue bikini because they thought I was ‘classier than that’ and ‘too old to wear a bikini’ and, my favorite, ‘desperate’,” she wrote in the caption. “Let me tell you something that might surprise you. I can actually wear and do literally whatever I want. On that note, here is me in a bikini squatting on a coffee table.”
The next month, Donna defended herself after creating an OnlyFans account. “I obviously don’t take myself, or the fact that I’m on that site, too seriously. This post may upset some people. I don’t care,” she captioned a breathtaking photo of herself sitting on a toilet in a revealing bodysuit. “People think everyone on that site is doing raunchy stuff. And if anyone from decent society dared to start an account there, they could pretty much kiss their reputation and maybe even their job goodbye.”
The former Playboy model continued, “All these celebs posting nude and topless pics of themselves here on IG and Twitter all the time covering their important bits with their hands. Boom, thousands of likes & comments talking about body positivity and confidence and empowerment and you go girl! Hot! But take that same photo of that same celeb and put it on OF where she can control who sees it and now she’s gross and hard up. People kill me.”
Donna also took a moment to push back against negativity in the comment section of a Dec. 2022 photo showing her wearing a sexy Santa-themed dress and over-the-knee boots. In reply to a troll who called her “thirsty”, she wrote, “Well, let’s analyze this. This is a photo of me completely covered from head to toe in a Santa costume. The only thing not covered is roughly 3 inches of my legs above my boots. I captioned it with a funny quote from a classic Chevy Chase Christmas movie and invited everyone to share a quote from the movie as well. And you want to come on here and call me thirsty?”
“Because…what? Because my Santa costume is fitted? Because it’s not big and oversized and bulky dragging on the floor, making me look shapeless?” she continued. “If I want to take a photo of myself standing here nude and post it with strategically placed Frosty the f—king Snowman emojis and quote Nightmare Before Christmas, hold on to your hate hat because I can, and I sure as shit will. Now, fly away, little Starling.” Put ’em in their place, Donna!Click to Subscribe to Get Our Free HollywoodLife Daily Newsletter to get the hottest celeb news.

According to the Idaho Statesman, Idaho has been ordered to pay nearly $250,000 in legal fees for a case that could have been avoided.
In 2012, Mercy For Animals released findings of an undercover investigation at Bettencourt Dairies in Hansen, Idaho, where workers were exposed stomping, beating, dragging, and otherwise torturing the cows.
In response to the investigation, the Idaho Dairymen’s Association drafted and sponsored an ag-gag bill, which was passed by the Idaho legislature and signed by Governor Otter in February 2014. This law created a new crime: “interference with agricultural production. It essentially criminalized undercover investigations on factory farms.
A federal judge overturned this dangerous and un-American law last August for violating the First Amendment and Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. U.S. district judge B. Lynn Winmill stated in his ruling:
The effect of the statute will be to suppress speech by undercover investigators and whistleblowers concerning topics of great public importance: the safety of the public food supply, the safety of agricultural workers, the treatment and health of farm animals, and the impact of business activities on the environment.
The coalition of nonprofit groups that challenged the law has now been awarded $249,875.08 in legal fees. Clearly ag-gag laws are not only unconstitutional, but a huge waste of taxpayer resources.
Idaho is now appealing the court ruling, which will result in an even greater waste of taxpayer money.
The governor and lawmakers of Idaho should be ashamed. They clearly don’t value their hardworking constituents and will accept money from big corporations at the taxpayers’ expense.
We urge Idaho lawmakers to focus their efforts on improving animal welfare and rewarding the brave whistleblowers who uncover criminal activity in the state’s agricultural operations.

Burning sensation is a kind of pain, which is different from stabbing, aching or dull pain. Burning pain is most often related to problem of nerves. However, there exist multiple other causes too. Autoimmune diseases, infections and injuries may trigger pain in nerves and may even result in nerve damage in some cases. You should visit your physician if you have burning sensation in your neck and are concerned about a medical condition.
It is also called neck arthritis or cervical osteoarthritis. It is a condition related to age, which affects the discs and joints present in the neck. It results from degeneration or age related wear-and-tear of the bones and cartilage of the cervical spine.
The causes of cervical spondylosis are bone spurs, dehydration of spinal disks, herniation of disks, injury to the neck, stiffness of ligaments and overuse injury.
The symptoms of cervical spondylosis apart from burning pain in neck are pain in the arm and fingers, muscle weakness, which can make it difficult to lift arm or grasp objects. Other signs are stiffness in neck, headaches in back of neck and numbness and tingling in the arms and shoulders. Less frequent symptoms that require immediate medical intervention include loss of bowel or bladder control and loss of balance.
Treatment focus on relieving pain and helping you do your normal routine activities. The various nonsurgical methods used to treat cervical spondylosis are:
Another cause of burning sensation in neck is cervical radiculopathy or pinched nerve. Cervical radiculopathy occurs due to compression of a nerve root in the neck occurring as a result of changes in the surrounding cartilage and bones from injury or wear and tear. Due to compression, the nerve root may get inflamed. The causes of radiculopathy are spinal disc herniation, bone spurs, trauma and aging.
The risk factors of radiculopathy are: osteoarthritis, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, poor posture, repetitive movements, and abnormalities of the spine such as scoliosis, pregnancy and family history of radiculopathy.
Symptoms of cervical radiculopathy are burning, tingling, weakness or loss of feeling in arm, shoulder, hand and finger; sharp, shooting pain that may aggravate with some movements, numbness, loss of reflexes and change in sensation.
Treatment: Treatment includes home care, medicines or surgery.
The majority of the people improve with non-surgical treatment. People who undergo surgery also improve after certain duration of recovery period.
Another condition that can cause burning sensation in neck is shingles or herpes zoster. It is a type of infection, which is caused by the same virus causing chickenpox- the VZ (varicella-zoster) virus. Once the chickenpox gets treated, the virus lives in your system for many years before it reactivate as herpes zoster. It usually reappears as a line of blisters on any one side of your body particularly on the neck, face or torso.
The initial symptoms are burning and pain, which is on one side of the body and in small areas. Pain is followed by a red colored rash. The characteristics of the rash are:
In some people other symptoms may also occur. These are:
Risk factors for developing shingles include:
Treatment: Shingles has no cure; however, medicine is prescribed to relieve symptoms and signs of the illness and shorten the duration of infection. Medicines prescribed are anti-virals such as acyclovir to decrease pain and speed up recovery, anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen to relieve pain and inflammation, narcotics and analgesics to decrease pain, antihistamines to relieve itching, numbing gels, patches or creams such as lidocaine to decrease pain and capsacin or Zostrix to decrease the risk of development of post-herpetic neuralgia.
You should take proper rest during the illness. You can apply wet and cold compress to shingles rash to decrease itching and pain. Apply calamine lotion to decrease itching. Shingles usually clear up within 2-3 weeks and recurs rarely.
Whiplash is another reason for burning sensation in neck. Also called strain injury or cervical strain, it’s a type of soft-tissue injury affecting the neck. The most common cause of whiplash injury is a motor vehicle accident of rear-end collision type, which injures the ligaments and muscles of the neck, discs of the cervical spine, nerve roots going out of the spinal column and the joints between adjacent vertebrae (intervertebral joints).
Common symptoms and signs of whiplash injury are neck stiffness and burning pain in neck, dizziness, headache, memory loss, unusual sensations in arms, fatigue, difficulty in concentrating and depression.
Treatment: Usually over-the-counter painkillers such as aspirin or Tylenol are given for pain relief. Prescription pain killers may be given for more severe whiplash injuries. Physical therapy is also recommended. It is also recommended to apply ice and heat to the affected area. With proper care, the majority of the individuals who suffer from a whiplash recover within 3 months of injury.

Ransomware attacks have recently been reported by four healthcare providers across the country, which have collectively resulted in the exposure and potential theft of the protected health information of more than 49,000 individuals.
Jax Spine & Pain Centers
Jax Spine and Pain Centers in Jacksonville, FL has recently announced it was the victim of a ransomware attack that occurred on January 24, 2022. The attack was conducted on an inactive server that contained records of patients who had visited either its Jacksonville or St. Augustine locations prior to May 2018.
Jacksonville Spine Center said the attackers claimed to have stolen files from the server and threatened to publish the stolen data if the ransom was not paid but did not say whether a payment was made to prevent the publication of the data.
Monitoring software had been installed on the server which allowed the attack to be rapidly detected, and due to the prompt action taken in response to the breach, it was possible to prevent the encryption of data. As soon as the breach was detected the server was shut down, but it was not possible to prevent the exfiltration of a compressed file that contained patient information.
Jacksonville Spine Center said its current patient record system is based in the cloud and was unaffected and the only patient data obtained in the attack was demographic information – names, addresses, dates of birth, and a limited number of Social Security numbers.
Extend Fertility, a New York City fertility clinic, has recently notified 10,373 patients that some of their protected health information has potentially been obtained by unauthorized individuals as a result of a ransomware attack that was detected on December 20, 2022.
An investigation was launched into the attack and third-party computer forensics experts were engaged to determine the nature and scope of the security breach. The initial investigation concluded on January 28, 2022, and determined the attackers had gained access to its systems on or around December 15. 2021, and successfully encrypted files on its network and servers. While data theft was not 100% confirmed, Extend Fertility said it is likely files containing patient information were exfiltrated from its systems.
An analysis of all files potentially affected confirmed they contained the following types of information: First and last name, gender, home address, phone number, email address, date of birth, medical history, diagnosis and treatment information, date(s) of service, lab test results, prescription information, provider name, medical account number, health insurance policy and group plan number, group plan provider, and claim information.
Extend Fertility said it is unaware of any actual or attempted misuse of patient information; however, as a precaution, affected individuals have been offered complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services. Extend Fertility said it is working with external security consultants to identify ways that security can be improved and additional safeguards will be implemented based on the recommendations. The employee cybersecurity training program will also be enhanced.
Spine Diagnostic & Pain Treatment
Spine Diagnostic & Pain Treatment in Louisiana appears to have been the victim of a Conti ransomware attack. According to Databreaches.net, 3,351 files containing patient information have been uploaded to the Conti gang’s data leak site, which the Conti gang claims represents around 30% of the exfiltrated files. Around 4 GB of data was uploaded to the leak site and the files contained a selection of data including scanned driver’s licenses, patient records, insurance billing information, and other PHI.
Spine Diagnostic & Pain Treatment has yet to confirm that it has suffered an attack and there is currently no record of the breach on the Office for Civil Rights and state attorneys general websites, so it is currently unclear how many patients have been affected.
La Posada at Park Centre
La Posada at Park Centre, a retirement community in Sahuarita, AZ, has recently notified 812 individuals that some of their protected health information was exposed and potentially compromised in a cyberattack that occurred on December 10, 2021. La Posada said “a software virus” was downloaded onto its systems that prevented staff from accessing files and email. Assisted by third-party forensics experts, La Posada determined on January 24, 2022, that the attackers potentially had access to files that contained patient information.
The types of data in the affected files varied from patient to patient and may have included: first and last names, birth dates, driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers, direct deposit information, passport numbers, drug and/or TB test results, Member ID numbers, COVID vaccine cards, and information associated with explanation of benefits and self-funded medical plan participants.
La Posada said it is reviewing its security policies and procedures and will take steps to improve security.

Chicago’s freeway intersection of I-290 at I-90/I-94 was the most congested location for trucks, according to research conducted in 2010.
Ranking second most congested was I-95 at State Route 4 in Fort Lee, N.J., based on monitoring performed by the American Transportation Research Institute and the Federal Highway Administration Office of Freight Management and Operations.
Truckers in Houston face heavy congestion as the next three chokepoints in the ranking of 250 highway locations turn up in a tight bundle: I-45 at U.S. 59, I-10 at I-45 and I-10 at U.S. 59.
This annual report focused on “freight-significant highway infrastructure” and utilized GPS technology and trucking operation data. It measured truck travel speeds weekdays at various times in computing a congestion index for each location.
Kevin Knight, chairman and CEO of Knight Transportation, said “strengthening the efficiency of supply chains is becoming a critical component of U.S. economic growth. Challenge number one is identifying the freight bottlenecks. Fortunately, ATRI’s report goes far in using real-world data to tell us where the impediments lie.”

Does Asymmetric Information Drive Capital Structure Decisions?
Using a novel information asymmetry index based on measures of adverse selection developed by the market microstructure literature, we test whether information asymmetry is an important determinant of capital structure decisions, as suggested by the pecking order theory. Our index relies exclusively on measures of the market's assessment of adverse selection risk rather than on ex ante firm characteristics. We find that information asymmetry does affect the capital structure decisions of U.S. firms over the sample period 1973--2002. Our findings are robust to controlling for conventional leverage factors (size, tangibility, Q ratio, profitability), the sources of firms' financing needs, and such firm attributes as stock return volatility, stock turnover, and intensity of insider trading. For example, we estimate that on average, for every dollar of financing deficit to cover, firms in the highest adverse selection decile issue 30 cents of debt more than firms in the lowest decile. Overall, this evidence explains why the pecking order theory is only partially successful in explaining all of firms' capital structure decisions. It also suggests that the theory finds support when its basic assumptions hold in the data, as should reasonably be expected of any theory. The Author 2008.

LINCOLN -- Gentry (3-1) held off a 3-run Lincoln rally in the sixth inning to hand the Wolves a 7-4 nonconference baseball loss on Monday, March 6.
Gentry assistant baseball coach Josh Blew said building a 3-1 early lead was important in being able to hold on for the win.
"Our guys responded really, really well though whenever we got put in the same exact spot.They kind of came back up on us. They gave us a good adversity look that we haven't seen this year yet, and to build up to district, regional and state tournaments that's what you need to get your team better," Blew said.
A 5-1 Pioneer lead all but vanished as Lincoln accomplished some two-out damage.
Kase Ingram walked, then moved to second on Gauge Davis' single into center field. Freshman Kayden Job went down swinging for the second out but, with Jace Birkes batting, a "passed-ball" enabled the runner to advance, posturing two Wolves in scoring position.
Birkes reached a full count and calmly took ball four on a 3-1 pitch to load the bases. Traegan Pathkiller came up and battled his way into a 3-2 count before bashing a bases-clearing double that pulled the Wolves within a run at 5-4.
Gentry reliever Hayden Henry flirted with disaster. He fell behind 2-0 and just missed the batter, who turned to avoid the pitch, bringing head coach Michael Mullen out to the mound. Mullen declined to comment after the game but whatever he said to Henry, along with the confidence he showed by leaving him in, worked out with Henry escaping further damage with a strike-out.
"That's the opposite of what you want. You want to get ahead in the count, especially in high school baseball. When the count goes 3-0 usually that guys ends up on base or scoring, but Hayden Henry, he's a resilient guy. He did a really good job at center field for us, made a really good play, a diving play that saved a lot of extra bases for them," Blew said. "Then he comes up on the pump and does a good job coming back from being in tough spots."
Isaak Crittenden led off the seventh by singling and beating a throw to second when Pat Beeler hit into a fielder's choice. That became critical in the Pioneers adding a pair of insurance runs. Lincoln didn't help themselves with a dropped strike three, allowing Drew Nash to get aboard and load the bases.
Houston Nance produced a quality at-bat, with two runs scoring on separate passed balls before striking out. Bennett Roberts was hit by a pitch, but the Wolves threw him out trying to steal second and went into their last at-bat trailing 7-4.
The Pioneers staffed the mound by committee, with starter Crittenden working off a 50-pitch count in order to retain his services for a Friday game. Gentry took a 2-1 lead at the end of the first inning and tacked on another run in the second. In the third inning, Crittenden handed a 3-1 lead to Henry, who had just made a diving catch in the outfield to get Lincoln's leadoff man out.
Henry issued a pair of walks, sandwiched around Drew Moore's double into left center, but got out of a bases-loaded jam with back-to-back strikeouts, both on three pitches.
Lincoln starter Drew Moore beaned Gentry's leadoff batter in the top of the fourth before inducing a fly out and striking out Jared James on a called strike three to keep the margin at two runs.
Gentry added an insurance run in the top of the fifth against Pathkiller, who walked Riggs Harper. A throwing error allowed Harper to advance to second and he stole third, then scored on Crittenden's sacrifice fly to put the visitors up 4-1. Pathkiller got Beeler to hit a flyball into left center, then struck out Nash. The pitch was dropped but Nash had barely taken a few steps toward first when he was tagged out by the Wolves' catcher.
Lincoln got a runner on when Kellar Price drew a walk in the bottom of the fifth but couldn't move him around the bases.
Roberts reached on an error, going all the way to second with one out in the top of the sixth. Briar Mayberry beat a throw to first to record an infield single and James walked to load the bases for the Pioneers.
Pathkiller remained steady although he gave up a run on Brayden Feathers' groundout. With a runner at second, Pathiller eased out of the inning by getting Harper to hit a pop fly into shallow right center.
Harper pitched the seventh and got Gentry to within two outs of a win by fanning the first man he faced.
Harrison Coker-Gage walked and Lincoln got new life when the next batter doubled. Harper negated the threat with a strikeout, followed by inducing a groundout to second base to end the game.

Lake County is one step away from allowing recreational cannabis sales in its unincorporated areas.
The county’s Public Works, Planning and Transportation Committee approved the ordinance at their meeting Wednesday, sending it off to the full County Board for a final vote Tuesday.
This week’s meeting saw three comments come in. Two were from residents who were against the measure, and one was from a director at a cannabis-based organization advocating for its approval.
Cheryl Van Duyse of Antioch said she was opposed mainly to dispensaries for the sake of children. Van Duyse also took issue with some of the buffers laid out in the current ordinance. She cited the county’s map tool, and said it should be shown at the upcoming County Board meeting with the current buffers included for residents to see.
“I would argue that the experiment with the map tool provided an excellent demonstration that marijuana businesses, particularly dispensaries, do not belong in unincorporated Lake County,” she said.
Pamela Althoff, executive director of the Cannabis Business Association of Illinois, said Illinois has the strictest cannabis licensing regulations in the country. She also said the industry provides career opportunities.
“Cannabis business owners make good neighbors and excellent professional additions to communities,” she wrote.
Like last week’s meeting, much of the discussion Wednesday related to the specifics of the ordinance rather than board members giving their broad opinions on the subject. That was also the case in the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on April 21.
District 1 board member Linda Peterson, who cast the lone vote against the ordinance Wednesday, said she would not support it “for many reasons.” Peterson represents the areas of Antioch and Old Mill Creek, as well as portions of Fox Lake and Lake Villa.
The reasons she gave during the meeting included concerns about the impact on specific municipalities. She referenced the 25 municipalities that have legalized the sale of marijuana in Lake County.
She also said that due to the coronavirus pandemic, the yearlong moratorium passed last year didn’t give the county a chance to look into the subject enough. She also cited the increasing potency of cannabis in the past few decades, and said youths will have more access to the product if allowed.
“I personally think (25 possible dispensaries) is more than enough,” she said. “I just don’t understand why we would want more than that.”
District 18 Board Member Julie Simpson said many of the concerns brought up in the past against cannabis have been “unfounded.” Simpson represents Vernon Hills and Indian Creek, as well as portions of Hawthorn Woods, Long Grove, Mundelein and unincorporated parts of the county.
Simpson also said the youth are getting their hands on marijuana as it is, and through a dispensary it would be regulated with age restrictions and be “very expensive,” making it more difficult for children to obtain.
“For me … it’s more about the fact that it’s legal in Illinois,” she said. “We control segments of area, and we don’t regulate liquor. We don’t regulate tobacco. I just don’t see much of a difference.”
