Fun with AirForce and Firebird: Part Two
by Ian McKee
This report covers:
- The course of fire
- The rules
- Final event
- The RAWs made the day
Today we will recount the second day of the AirForce and Firebird fun shoot.
Again, AirForce and Firebird personnel fed us a hearty breakfast as shooters started arriving. A few from the previous day returned, but many new faces attended day two.
As Ton Jones, Rick Rehm and the AirForce crew were setting up the equipment and filling tanks, the gremlins came out of the woodwork and started gumming up the works.
First the utility outlets at the firing line we had been using for the high pressure air compressor were not working, so we moved to an alternate outlet. After we had two of the tanks topped off and the third tank filled to about 3600 psi, the compressor shut down for some reason. The ambient air temperature was in the low 70’s so overheating was not the problem.
Being unable to resolve the problem and taking into account the number of shooters that turned out for the event, the limited air supply on hand demanded an executive decision to alter the day’s planned events. Instead of a short range speed event with .22 caliber RAW Micro Hunters, and then a long range event with AirForce big bores and RAW HM1000X .25 caliber rifles, the decision was made to just have head-to-head competitions, two prizes were chosen at random from the table, the winner gets to choose between the two prizes, and the loser gets the other prize.
While the course of fire was being reset to accommodate the new plans, it gave us time to meet each other, and some of the people behind the scenes such as the local sponsors — GSM Outdoors, AirForce Airguns and Firebird Targets, and others that donated prizes for the competitors.
Many fine prizes were donated for the event. There were several UTG scopes of various models, plus scopes from Lucid Optics, Athlon Optics, and Crimson Trace. There were also Shokz (formerly AfterShokz) bone conduction headphones. If you haven’t tried these you need to. They transmit the sounds through your skull, not through your ears. There were also a couple of quality shooting mats, and some self-sealing reactive targets.
Some of the prizes to be awarded during the event.
The course of fire
They eventually settled on a set of steel 2 inch flipper targets (the auto reset kind where you shoot the lower targets and they flip up onto a steel bar and you shoot the top target to reset them), at an unknown distance, then the first three KYL (Know Your Limits) targets, also at a further unknown distance.
The KYL targets start at 2 inches in diameter and reduce in size by ¼ inch until the smallest target is only ¼ inch wide.
Then two Texas Star targets were placed at well over 100 yards. Shooters had to activate the Firebird target on each target to move to the next one. The Firebird targets were on opposite sides of the Texas Stars, so after you hit the first target, the star started swinging, you had to either time your shots well, or wait for the target to stop swinging to connect with the last Firebird target.
The first person to clear the course wins. Simple right? Well, not with the help of another gremlin, a 10 mph gusting crosswind.
The shooters ranged from 12 years old and up. The 12 year old boy was shooting against his 17 year old sister. Their parents were competing as well. It is great to see the sport being carried on by younger generations..
The Shive family with Trick Shot Rick Rehm, and Dan Meeker, the owner of Firebird Targets.
The contest started with a literal bang! I was in the first pairing, and since the ranges to the targets was unknown, I started with the near targets first and worked out my holdovers as the ranges increased.
The person I was shooting against was thinking outside of the box and, after cleaning the close targets, he shot one of the exploding disks on the far Texas Star, making it unbalanced and spinning. He would come back to it after it had slowed while he shot the intervening targets.
The problem (for him) was he shot MY star instead of his own. I looked to the RO (Range Officer) and he said it counted in my favor. Keep shooting!
I actually own a set of the flipper targets that were closest, so I estimated the distance to them as about 60 yds, and cleaned that target with no real issues. The KYL targets I figured to be a little over 80 yards, and once I found the correct hold over, they fell relatively easy as my friends and I have been shooting the KYL at 75 yards lately with both pellets and .22 rimfire.
It took me several shots to walk my hits to the base of the Texas Star, then use that hold over for my aim point. The star was WELL past 100 yards and I normally don’t shoot .25 caliber, much less shoot that far. After several misses from error in judging the flight time of the pellet to my still swinging star, I was finally able to connect with the Firebird target that went off with a resounding boom, and huge plume of smoke.
My opponent and I congratulated each other, chose our prizes, and readied the equipment for the next shooters.
The rules were the shooting continued until someone connected with their last exploding target. Some relays took longer and more shots than others. To save time, we decided to start loading magazines for the shooters so they didn’t have to stop shooting and take time to reload the magazines themselves. That sped things up considerably.
Reloading magazines for the competitors in the two shooting houses as darkness approaches.
After the prizes were handed out, and the sun was starting to set, one last event was announced. Each shooter got one magazine of 12 shots. We competed head-to-head to see who could score hits on two separate eight inch steel plates with Firebirds attached. These were both at unknown distances (well over 150 yards to the first plate, and close to 200 yards plus or minus a few feet for the second plate). The prize was an Accu-Tac bipod, which is about a $400 value.
We ran the relays as fast as we could, several shooters were able to connect with the first exploding target, finally after a couple of shooter rotations someone finally connected with the single far target.
The RAWs made the day
Luckily the gremlins only sabotaged the support equipment. The two RAW rifles just kept pounding away, shooting everything we could put through them as fast as we could hand shooters magazines. No maintenance, no lube, just loading, filling and shooting. A true test of their robust construction.
I think everyone had a great time, and made new friends. That’s what this hobby is about. And as a side note, everyone brought home some nice prizes.
Shoot safe, and have FUN!

RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA – The Saudi Export-Import Bank (EXIM Bank) has entered into an agreement with Obeikan AGC Glass Company for an export credit insurance policy.
This strategic partnership will enable the company to secure their international sales against non-payment risks posed by global buyers.
It significantly amplifies the prospects for growth and penetration into new regional and international markets.
The agreement was formalized by CEO of Saudi EXIM Bank Eng. Saad Al-Khalab, and CEO of Obeikan AGC Glass Company Ahmed Al-Hashimi, during the signing ceremony held at the Saudi EXIM Bank’s headquarters in Riyadh.
Emphasizing the significance of the agreement, Eng. Al-Khalab said, “This alliance with Obeikan AGC Glass aligns with the bank’s ongoing commitment to bolster the Saudi non-oil economy and enhance its contribution to the gross domestic product.”
He said, “The bank focuses on encouraging companies to broaden their export operations and venture into new international markets.”
He added, “The export credit insurance is one of our key offerings providing Saudi exporters with protection against the risk of non-payment by international buyers.”
Echoing similar sentiments, Al-Hashimi said, “The export credit insurance policy provided by the Saudi EXIM Bank will play a pivotal role in driving our expansion endeavors to export products internationally.”
He said, “It imparts strength to our ambitions in realizing strategic objectives and multiplying investments, considering the growing demand for our products in global markets.”
He added, “At Obeikan AGC Glass, we are committed to contributing to the objectives of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, which focuses on augmenting the share of non-oil products in the Kingdom’s gross domestic product and promoting the ‘Made in Saudi Arabia’ initiative.”
The Saudi EXIM Bank plays a significant role in strengthening the Saudi non-oil economy on the global stage.
The bank focuses on bridging financing and insurance gaps and mitigating the risks faced by exporters.
This approach aligns with the objectives of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, which aims to elevate the share of non-oil exports in the gross domestic product.

We sometimes need to work overnight for upgrades and Maintenance of the city’s infrastructure.
Because of the need to keep Auckland City traffic flowing during the day, CSI sometimes needs to work overnight on upgrades and maintenance of the city’s infrastructure.
So it was with this busy Auckland bridge in the city.
CSI needed to work after hours and perform controlled breakouts at specified locations to reveal the extent of corrosion in existing reinforcement. Scanners were used to identify the location of the steel for these breakouts.
In situ carbonation testing was to be carried out in the proximity of each breakout location to establish the degree of carbonation within the concrete; which in turn, can be an indication of potential corrosion of reinforcing bars.
CSI was also asked to conduct chloride contamination tests. Chloride can potentially attack the passive layer of reinforcement if Oxygen and Water are present.
CSI followed up these tests by taking core samples to check concrete composition back at the lab.
Due to the location, there were some challenges to ensure the work was completed to the highest environmental standards and controlled all slurry, dust and other waste material. CSI also had to prevent anything falling on the motorway below and repair breakouts to the highest possible standard.

The money will be available immediately for nearly every river east of Raleigh.
Not only will wildlife benefit, but it will help clean up the drinking water supply for more than half a million people. $220 million federal dollars and $50 million state dollars will help farmers keep nutrients and sediment from leaking into the water.
"You can protect everyone. Why pit food against water when not one of us can live with either? Why not seek a sustainable balance," said Dan Glickman,U.S. Department of Agriculturesecretary.
Selected farmers will be paid to stop growing crops near nutrient sensitive waters. They would also be partially reimbursed for planting trees and shrubs to protect rivers and streams.
In the light of increasing water quality regulations, farmers say it is about time that the government helps growers comply.
"The government in recent years has come up with so many regulations and asked us to do it. With this program, the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, is the first time that the government has really said 'we're here to help,'" said farmer Bryant Worley.
Growers say they want the feds to remember that while this will help, farm run-off is not the only form of pollution. Sources like fertilizer in city sewer systems must also be addressed before the rivers are truly restored.
"What we need to have is a coming together of environmentalists, farmers, developers and any folks involved with the Neuse River basin. If we all join together, we can make this happen ," said farmer Tony Jones.
One farmer says he will believe it when he sees it. He says the government tends to have a few more strings attached.
Farmers can sign up as early as March 15 to find out more.

WST Chairman Barry Hearn believes that keeping elite sport going during the coronavirus pandemic has helped to protect the mental health of the nation.
Hearn was awarded an OBE in the New Year’s Honours for his services to sport, in recognition of his achievements in sports promotion for more than four decades.
Despite the challenges created by Covid-19 restrictions, the World Snooker Tour has staged 20 events this year, while other Matchroom sports such as darts, boxing and pool have also kept the action coming for television and online viewers.
While crowds have been missed at most events, the World Snooker Tour has been watched by many millions of television viewers around the globe this year
“This year has shown us the things that matter most in life. But sport is also very important, I would say essential,” Hearn told Hector Nunns. “I like to use the analogy that the defence budget protects the country, and sport protects the mental health of that nation.
“It provides so much inspiration and aspiration. We have become even more aware of that this year with all the behind-closed-doors events. But we have tried to keep people entertained and keep people working. Sports men and women are self-employed athletes.
“And I am particularly proud this year of the job snooker and darts have done, as well as boxing and all our other sports to keep it alive in these troubled times. It has been a brilliant effort and I am hopeful that we can come through this pandemic stronger as a country and as a sports-loving country.
“When you get used to having things and suddenly you don’t have it, you appreciate it more and Covid-19 has done that with sport.
“And everyone in Matchroom, World Snooker Tour, the PDC and the other organisations have risen to the challenge. We have tried to create and innovate. And it has sent out a good message about the resilience of British people and what we are like when we are up against the wall.
“With the battle against Covid, we could have given up and gone away for a year. But that is not in my mentality, or the mentality of my organisation.”
The snooker circuit gets back underway on January 4th with the BetVictor Championship League, followed by the Masters which starts on January 10th at Alexandra Palace.

In general I prefer not to watch films in 3D. It is almost never an improvement and the glasses can be a distraction, especially for someone like me who already wear glasses. But The Walk was an exception. Here the 3D was more fulfilling than I have ever experienced before, almost the raison d’être for the film. In every scene the space has been designed and shot to take advantage of the possibilities of 3D, making everything integrated, every brick, every tea spoon, every leaf. It was not just for special moments but as a constant presence. However this might also be why the film often felt like it was animated. It was perhaps the first film I have seen were I experienced the uncanny valley, even though that is only to be experienced when digital creations feel too real. Here it was real people who sometimes felt like digital creations. It was not necessarily a bad thing, only peculiar. Also, as it happens, it was the first time when the 3D effects actually made me move my body so as not to be hit by hurling objects. Yet it did not feel like a cheap gimmick either, but essential to the film. Gravity (Alfonso Cuarón 2013) is often singled out for its 3D, like the single tear floating in the space craft, but I felt it much more strongly here, in The Walk. Not something attached to it at the end to enhance the sale of tickets but as an original ambition to enhance the artistry of the film. And not just of the film but of its subject matter and of its main character, the high wire walker Philippe Petit.
The walk of the title is Petit’s walk between the twin towers of the now demolished World Trade Center (which can be seen being built in the background in Alan J. Pakula’s Klute (1971)). Petit’s performance had been on obsession for him for six years, from the first time he read about the towers being built to his actual walk, on August 7, 1974, and the walk itself took 45 minutes. Or rather, the event took 45 minutes because it was not just a walk; he walked back and forth several times and even paused on the middle of the rope and performed there. Then it started to rain and he returned to the roof of one of the towers.
This obsession of Petit is what made this event happen, but it makes him uncompromising and occasionally unpleasant. He is always pushing himself and the people around him and since what he is doing is highly dangerous and illegal it might be worth considering whether he should be condemned or celebrated. Some consider his acts, and those of others who do similar things, to be narcissistic acts of public masturbation, but I prefer a world in which there are people like Petit; people who do outrageous things, be they scientists, artists or performers, and by their imagination and their acts enhance our sense of ourselves and our understanding of our capacities and the possibilities that exists above and beyond our everyday lives. Robert Zemeckis, who co-wrote and directed The Walk, seems to feel the same way, and is himself also a visionary. He does not make ordinary films about ordinary lives, he make films about the extraordinary. He is also constantly pushing the medium, not least technologically, to bring it forward and make it do things not seen before. Unfortunately he is not an altogether great director; too many of his films have noticeable weaknesses, whether it be the dialogue, the acting, unfocused scripts or a foregrounding of techniques in a way that gets in the way because the technique is not yet good enough for such a prominent place. Yet I still appreciate and admire Zemeckis because of his imagination and visionary mind-set. And I do really like Romancing the Stone (1984), Back to the Future (1985), Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) and Cast Away (2000).
So it is not a surprise that Zemeckis would want to do a film about Philippe Petit, nor that the film is such a bold undertaking. While the characters are at times annoying, as is the sometimes strained efforts to breeziness, the film moves swiftly along towards the last part, i.e. the actual event, which is when the film really comes alive. The enactment seems to take as long as the actual event and it is a breathtakingly unsettling, beautiful and moving spectacle. The look, the sound, the nervous tics of the characters, the editing, the light, the texture of the material, it all blends together to an astonishing achievement.
Petit’s walk has been said to have change the New Yorkers perception of the twin towers, from ugly monsters to something worth cherishing and be proud of. Now that they are gone the film emphasis this loss in subtle ways, trying to bring back the first sensation of them and the feelings they once aroused. In a way they too embody the same kind of ambition, passion and obsession that Petit’s walk does. An effort to reach higher, to go further, to reach beyond the ordinary. It that way it would seem to be a perfect match: Petit, the towers and Zemeckis.

2 medium baking potatoes (650g), cut into cubes (skin on) and well cleaned
90-100ml whole milk
Salt and black pepper to taste
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes in and cook until soft, around 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan or oven proof dish. Add your lamb and brown a little. Add the 2 sauces from the packet and beef stock and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered until the lamb is soft, around 20-25 minutes. Give the pot an occasional stir and check that the pan is not too dry. If so, add a little water in. Add the peas a couple of minutes before taking off the heat.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain, quickly take off the skin and place back in the pan to cook off excess water. Add the milk, butter and seasoning in and mash well as the milk comes to a boil.
Meanwhile, take the spices out of the packet and grind to a powder in a good pestle and mortar. The chilli is harder to grind and will remain coarse. Stir into the lamb.
When you are ready to eat, place the lamb in a smallish deep baking tray and level out. Place the potatoes on top and level again.You can make it prettier if you are in the mood,I like to quickly swirl the potato with a fork. Place in an oven preheated to 190C and cook until tinged with some brown tips. Serve hot.

STOCKTON — In just her second year of coaching, Nayeli Moreno will take over the reins for Weston Ranch girls volleyball and lead a young coaching staff into Valley Oak League competition.
And although new and young, the coaching staff will have battle-tested and seasoned mentors to draw upon for advice.
“My coaching staff and I are excited to see what is to come this upcoming season,” Moreno said. “But we know we have some big shoes to fill. The other coaches and I are still young and have a lot to learn, but luckily we still have Coach (Eddie) Menzel to support and guide us in the right direction."
After a 6-1 non-league start in 2018, the Cougars stumbled and went 8-14 the rest of the way, finishing 1-11 in the VOL and 14-15 overall.
“We hope to see a positive change in our girls’ mindset going into this season,” Moreno said. “And also see them reach their fullest potential.”
After a six-year playing career, the 2018 Weston Ranch graduate became an assistant coach for her alma mater’s junior varsity girls team and assisted on the junior varsity boys team this past spring.
Last season’s captain Senecia Patten leaves a big void in the middle as she was the starting middle blocker. Looking to pick up the slack with be senior libero Julianna Lassiter and junior outside hitter Janelle Ico returning.
The Cougars start the season on the road Friday, Aug. 23, traveling to Mountain House at 6 p.m. On Tuesday, Sept. 10, Weston Ranch hosts defending league champion and Sac-Joaquin Section Division III runner-up Central Catholic of Modesto at 6 p.m. to start the VOL campaign.

The days are short, the weather is awful, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to crawl under the covers and wait for spring. Take on the chilly months with these activities that will keep your pet in good spirits, not to mention looking and feeling good.
THE COLD WEATHER GUIDE
On boring winter days, it’s hard to get too excited about tossing around a ball. That’s when you break out the cool interactive toys. Many have different difficulties built in so your pet can level up from one challenge to another.Shop now
BRAVE THE OUTDOORS
Yes, it’s cold. But you and your pet both need fresh air and sunlight, so just remember to gear up. Dogs with short hair or short legs especially need a warm sweater or jacket and every canine needs paw wax or boots to protect them from cold, salty sidewalks. Since it gets dark so early, stay visible with a reflective harness, light-up collar attachment or even a neat glow-in-the-dark toy.Shop now
PLAY WITH THEIR FOOD
Pets, like humans, go looking for snacks when they’re bored. But you can actually use this food focus to entertain them. Adding kibble to a treat-dispensing toy turns mealtime into playtime, plus it stops them from gobbling their food in one gulp. You can even give them a tasty treat to savor by freezing food in a Kong — this works for raw, rehydrated or freeze-dried meals or kibble with bone broth/goat milk added. Just be sure to feed it to them on a hard, easy-to-clean surface.Shop now
KEEP THEM IN SHAPE
Extra winter weight can really slow your pet down. Keep belly fat in check with a Weight Loss Bowl. It’s the perfect recipe for preventing pounds from piling on — lean proteins for building muscle, low calorie bone broth for extra nutrients, fiber-rich pumpkin to fill them up, and hip and joint supplements for extra support.Shop now
SOOTHE THAT ITCHINESS
Hear that scratching? It’s the sound of your pet hating winter. Cold weather dries out their skin and coat, leaving them super itchy. Try skin and coat supplements to nourish and comfort, not to mention reduce pet dander.Shop now
BUT SOMETIMES, IT’S JUST TOO COLD
There’s nothing fun about going to the bathroom in a blizzard or endless rain. On super unpleasant weather days, accidents can happen. Be prepared with a supply of pee pads for indoor use as well as pet-safe stain and odor removers.Shop now

In terms of powertrain electrification, multiphysics simulation is speeding up the design and development of electric vehicle motors.
Volkswagen Kassel in Germany has developed an efficient modeling process for electric motors that balances both the electromagnetic and mechanical design requirements of this important engine component. By optimizing their development process, they can set their sights further down the road to new vehicle tech, like digitalization, autonomous driving, and electric drives.
Illinois Tool Works (ITW), the largest commercial food equipment company in the world, is using multiphysics simulation to optimize the design of a “smart” solid-state convection oven for the even and rapid heating of food.
Multiphysics simulation is also enabling engineers to investigate brand new ways to experience physical phenomena. Researchers at HARMAN International are designing audio infotainment systems for luxury vehicles and have even started experimenting with an interactive car-buying experience based in virtual reality.
A professor at Virginia Commonwealth University is using simulation applications to teach undergraduate students the building blocks of electromagnetics and is already thinking of ways to incorporate virtual or augmented reality into upcoming lesson plans.
From developing electromagnetics technology that helps the environment to inspiring the next generation of electrical engineers, multiphysics simulation is helping today’s companies and organizations visualize a brighter future for tomorrow.

At the age of sixty, Cory Taylor is dying of melanoma-related brain cancer. Her illness is no longer treatable: she now weighs less than her neighbor's retriever. As her body weakens, she describes the experience--the vulnerability and strength, the courage and humility, the anger and acceptance--of knowing she will soon die.
Written in the space of a few weeks, in a tremendous creative surge, this powerful and beautiful memoir is a clear-eyed account of what dying teaches: Taylor describes the tangle of her feelings, remembers the lives and deaths of her parents, and examines why she would like to be able to choose the circumstances of her death.
Taylor's last words offer a vocabulary for readers to speak about the most difficult thing any of us will face. And while Dying: A Memoir is a deeply affecting meditation on death, it is also a funny and wise tribute to life.

Australian writer Taylor, who found herself out of treatment options for melanoma-related brain cancer, reflects on the end of her life in this unflinchingly honest memoir. Taylor, who died in 2016, shares her emotions of anger, sadness and worry, especially for her loved ones, as well as her acceptance of the inevitable. She looks back on her childhood and family and recalls the fractured relationships of her parents and siblings, the joy of motherhood, and the unlikely and fantastic life of a writer. Taylor, who wrote the book in just a few weeks, considered the emptiness a nonreligious person such as her might face, and came to terms with it, providing a blueprint for those struggling with the same questions. This slender volume brings a fresh point of view to end-of-life care, the concept of having a sense of control over the unknown, and the role of chance in life. This deep meditation is beautifully written and destined to be an important piece of the conversation surrounding death. Taylors last testament to life is a welcome departing gift from a thoughtful and inspired author. (Aug.)

The ward Congress will hold on May 5, local government, May 12 and state congress for May 19.
The new date for the national convention has not been fixed but will hold in the month of June.
The new dates became imperative following the objection raised by the Governors that the earlier dates fixed by the National Working Committee did not consider the interest of all.
The APC Governors and the NWC had last Monday agreed to come up with new dates on Friday(today).
The NWC had earlier fixed between May 2 to 14 as dates for the Congresses and Convention.

Harvey D. Ferer, chairman and CEO of Aaron Ferer & Sons Co., Omaha, Neb., died in late August. Ferer, who was 75, is survived by three sons, one daughter and four grandchildren.
For several decades, Ferer ran or helped run the family scrap processing and trading business, which was founded by his grandfather Aaron in 1886.
At one point the company grew into a global trading firm with $500 million in annual sales, although it later retreated somewhat from the copper trading market. The company has also long specialized in the scrapping of military ordnance.
The company employed as many as 50 people at its long-time headquarters and processing facility in Omaha. A civic development plan forced the company to sell its long-time home earlier this year.
In an interview with Recycling Today in the mid-90s, Harvey Ferer credited his family's hard work and pride for the company's 100-year existence. "That's our name over the door," he remarked.

Yes, but the sea might beat them to it. In 2015, the California Coastal Commission adopted the Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance. This Guidance document discusses a number of potential measures for responding to sea level rise, including "managed retreat." As explained in the Guidance document, "[r]etreat strategies are those strategies that relocate or remove existing development out of hazard areas and limit the construction of new development in vulnerable areas." Examples of retreat strategies include the acquisition and buy-out of "threatened" properties. While many ...

Four ideas to journalists for reporting climate change
If journalists think there is little they can or should do to help people deal with climate change, they should think again. In a thought-provoking talk at the conference, professor Susanna Priest came up with four simple ideas for actions that journalists can undertake without offending professional norms of objectivity and the economic restraints of the news business.
Simply furnishing people with enough information is not enough, Priest said and referred to recent research she had done amongst people in Louisiana about what made them decide to leave their homes when the hurricane Katrina hit the area.
She and the other researchers wondered if the media had failed to give people information about the severity of the approaching storm, but the 114 people interviewed said that they knew the hurricane was going to be bad. But the decision to actually leave their homes was only made when somebody in their community - a neighbour or a relative - had said: Hey, it is time to get out.
This rhymes with findings from research on the social psychology of persuasion. Priest pointed out that appealing to fear is not enough to induce action.
“Gloom and doom messages can lead to paralysis and inaction, avoidance of the issue or even denial of the threat.”
What people need are stories about the actions they can take themselves which can help build a feeling of “you can control climate change.” Part of that is to appeal to community norms with stories where people can see others with whom they identify take action. People also need to feel as though they themselves are expected to take action.
A third option for journalists is to look at their ability to legitimize social movements through media coverage. Media has been legitimizing movements for change in many important areas over the years such as women’s rights, gay rights and the abolition of slavery. Now media can bestowe legitimacy on the climate movement by taking it seriously.
Finally, Priest pointed out that research shows that people actually do care about issues of social justice. Therefore climate change should also be covered as an issue of social or distributive justice.
The debate after Priest’s presentation showed that some conference participants were wondering whether it would appealing to community norms would be enough to get through to people. Those needing inspiration for what this kind of journalism could look like, should take a look at the companion site to the conference website.
On the website Climate Changers, journalists enrolled on an Erasmus Mundus programme have written stories from their respective home countries about people or organisations taking action on climate change. The overall feeling from the stories is what Priest is looking for: Hope and in some cases also empowerment of the individual by knowing that other people are taking action with success.


Obama warns of financial catastrophe
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama warns of catastrophe if US lawmakers failed to act quickly on a plan to save America's collapsing financial sector.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama warned on Tuesday of catastrophe if US lawmakers failed to act quickly on a plan to save America's collapsing financial sector, a day after the stock market chalked up a record one-day point decline when Congress rejected a $700 billion rescue effort. Obama said Congress should not start from scratch as lawmakers mulled a next move in putting together a rescue plan but should build on the bill rejected by the House of Representatives on Monday.
Obama's statement proposed one addition to the proposal: Raising the amount of federal deposit insurance for bank accounts from $100,000 to $250,000. The first-term Illinois senator said that would help small businesses and make the U.S. banking system more secure.
Republican rival John McCain, lagging in the polls, also pushed a similar proposal while urging lawmakers to pass a deal. The measure died in the House mainly at the hands of McCain's own Republicans "By the way, the first thing I'd do is say, 'Let's not call it a bailout. Let's call it a rescue.' Because it is a rescue. It's a rescue of Main Street America," McCain said on "American Morning" on CNN.
McCain said he recommended to President George W Bush on Tuesday morning that the Treasury's Exchange Stabilization Fund of $250 billion be used to shore up institutions, that the limit on federally insured deposits be raised to $250,000 and that the Treasury exercise its ability to buy up $1 trillion in mortgages. After voting down the Bush administration proposal, lawmakers poured scorn on one another then took a break for the Jewish New Year. They were expected later this week to resume negotiating a way out of the United States' worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Monday's turmoil found both Obama and McCain each trying to deflect blame to his opponent.
Obama said McCain had been opposing needed financial regulation for years.
McCain declared Obama was putting his political ambitions ahead of the good of the nation, saying the presidential contest comes down to a simple question: "Country first or Obama first?" McCain on Tuesday was meeting small business owners in Des Moines, Iowa, a Midwestern swing state where most polls show him trailing Obama. The Democratic contender was holding a rally in Reno, Nevada one of several Republican-leaning Western states where Obama is locked in a tight race with McCain. The vice presidential candidates, Democrat Joe Biden, the veteran Delaware senator, and Republican Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, had no public campaign events scheduled as they prepared for their nationally televised debate Thursday night.
The stunning negative vote in the House of Representatives on Monday only fueled what has become an increasingly bitter race between McCain, a 26-year veteran of Congress and Vietnam prisoner of war, and Obama, a first-term Illinois senator who is seeking to make history as America's first black president.
More than two-thirds of Republicans President George W Bush's own party and 40 per cent of Democrats opposed the rescue bill. The House vote sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average into a 777-point tailspin its biggest point drop ever. "This bill failed because Barack Obama and the Democrats put politics ahead of country," McCain senior policy adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin said
McCain later added his own dig, accusing Obama and his allies of injecting "unnecessary partisanship" into the effort to steady the economy.
"Now is not the time to fix the blame, it's time to fix the problem," McCain told reporters in Iowa.
Obama said McCain's long advocacy of deregulation contributed to the crisis and that allowing his Republican rival to continue those policies as president would be a gamble the country cannot afford. McCain has "fought against commonsense regulations for decades, he's called for less regulation 20 times just this year, and he said in a recent interview that he thought deregulation has actually helped grow our economy," Obama said.
"Senator, what economy are you talking about?" he asked. Voters are consumed with the flailing US economy and McCain and Obama are pounding the issue, portraying themselves as the candidate best prepared to steer the country out of its financial morass. McCain has anointed himself the candidate who can restore financial oversight while slashing wasteful spending and cutting taxes on individuals and businesses. Obama, McCain says, would usher in an era of big government spending programs and high taxes. But McCain's record as a proponent of deregulation has worked against him and helped Obama, who has sought to tie his opponent to Bush's unpopular Republican administration.
Obama has topped McCain in the polls since the financial crisis took a sudden turn for the worse with the bankruptcy of venerable Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers two weeks ago. The Gallup Poll daily tracking survey on Monday showed Obama with a 50 per cent to 42 per cent lead over McCain.
McCain also has been dogged by gaffes, starting with his statement on the day that Lehman went bankrupt that the US economy was fundamentally strong.
Last Wednesday, he suspended his campaign and tried to delay his debate with Obama to get involved in the bailout effort. The measure died in the House on Monday with help from McCain's own Republicans as lawmakers worried about spending such a vast sum of taxpayer money to prop up the failing financial industry with many of them facing re-election in just five weeks.

Practicality has always triumphed over other car-buying aspects in the Indian market. People look for ground clearance, mileage, etc, while buying new cars. This is why sporty cars have never found their footing in the country. However, things are changing as seen by Hyundai’s attempt at bringing N Line cars. Now, in 2024. we could see 2 upcoming sporty petrol cars. What are they? Let’s find out.
Attention Readers! Join us on Whatsapp Community for daily auto news updates.
Hyundai Creta N Line
Hyundai is going to diversify its N Line lineup with the Creta N Line. The Creta N Line has been spotted in the AD shoot hinting that the launch is just around the corner. It comes with a new grille, new 18-inch alloy wheels, thick side skirts and more. Under the hood, it will come with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine. Being a N Line model, don’t expect any changes in the power figures. However, for enthusiasts, we could see a manual gearbox along with a DCT option. Hyundai could give it a sportier suspension, louder exhaust and better handling like it does with other N Line models. In the interiors, expect red stitching and some added features. The Creta N Line is expected to be launched by February or March 2024.
Upcoming sporty cars – Tata Altroz Racer
The Altroz Racer is back in the news as Tata showcased the car at the Bharat Mobility Show. Recently, an Altroz test mule was spotted with an emission testing kit, hinting that the Racer edition could become reality soon. Unlike the Creta N Line, the Altroz Racer comes with a much more powerful 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine under its hood. This is the same engine that powers the Nexon. Along with that, the Racer edition also comes with subtle interior and exterior changes. Feature-wise, it is expected to come with ventilated seats, 6 airbags, reverse parking sensors and a 10-inch infotainment system. The Altroz Racer is expected to be launched by mid-2024.

Morocco has long placed youth “at the center of its efforts to accelerate the implementation of sustainable development," the country’s permanent ambassador to the UN said.
Rabat – The Permanent Mission of Morocco to the UN in New York stressed the important role of youth in climate action on Tuesday.
Morocco co-hosted a virtual event on the role of youth in climate action to support the 2019 Global Youth Climate Action Declaration on the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate action.
Young leaders and parliamentarians representing several countries attended the event, along with the ambassadors of Costa Rica and Portugal to the UN.
The Permanent Ambassador of Morocco to the UN, Omar Hilale, stressed that the country has always believed that young people hold a key role in the implementation of the UN’s 2030 Agenda. He highlighted innovative youth-led solutions to protect biodiversity, preserve the environment, and promote sustainable production and consumption.
“As a globally committed country, Morocco has, for several decades, systematically placed young people and citizens at the center of its efforts to accelerate the implementation of sustainable development,” Morocco’s state media quoted Hilale as saying.
He added that Morocco intends to boost its engagement with youth as “engines of constructive collaboration.”
During the 2019 Climate Action Summit, world leaders vowed to promote the empowerment of young people, particularly in the climate field. Morocco manifested this commitment with the launch of the “African Youth Climate Hub” in September 2019.
Morocco’s Princess Lalla Hasnaa, the president of the Mohammed VI Foundation for Environmental Protection, spearheaded the initiative that aims to promote the ideas and solutions of young African leaders in the fight against climate change.
The African Youth Climate Hub is a virtual space for exchange and support among young Africans regarding issues of climate change. The hub aims to contribute meaningfully to climate action through inclusive, youth-based projects with a focus on measurable impacts across the continent and on a global scale.
At the Climate Action Summit in September 2019, Princess Lalla Hasnaa also emphasized Morocco’s support for the African Youth Initiative on Climate Change. The project aims to empower African rural communities through a youth-led, collaborative initiative that encourages effective implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The initiatives offer “young Africans the opportunity to establish and foster a generational movement to fight climate change,” Hilale underlined.
Looking forward to Wednesday’s UN Biodiversity Summit, the Permanent Mission of Morocco to the UN reiterated the country’s faith in young leaders who are “engaged in real actions sharing experiences and supporting local initiatives,” deeming them “instrumental” in making political pledges to SDG 13 “a reality.”

Seventy-four percent of fixed-contract workers such as part-time and temporary employees earned less than 2 million yen a year, according to a recent survey, up 16.7 percentage points from the last survey in 2009, the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry said Sept. 14.
Of those fixed contract workers who performed the same jobs as permanent employees, 60.3 percent made less than 2 million yen, up sharply from 40.7 percent, reflecting the aggravated labor market
While 60.3 percent of fixed contract workers doing the same jobs and shouldering the same responsibilities as permanent employees settle for an annual income of below 2 million yen, 43.5 percent of contract workers utilizing more advanced skills than permanent employees also earned less than 2 million yen annually, up from 32.1 percent.
The survey also found that 76.5 percent of contract workers engaged in the same type of jobs also made less than 2 million a year, up from 62.0 percent.
By type of employment, contract workers accounted for 47.2 percent, up from 38.6 percent in the previous survey, and temporary workers totaled 56.7 percent, up from 45.7 percent.
Asked to cite up to three reasons for becoming fixed-contract workers, 43.6 percent of contract employees and 43.1 percent of fixed-term workers said they could not find regular jobs.


Eamcet answers raise a chuckle
Efforts of the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad JNTUH to keep up standards of the engineering education are yet to yield positive...
Hyderabad: Efforts of the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTU-H) to keep up standards of the engineering education are yet to yield positive outcomes. Several evaluators going through the answer scripts are baffled with the kinds of answers the students are giving to questions in their examinations.
Explaining the woes of the evaluators, a senior professor from the Computer Sciences Engineering (CSE) said that the students from the CSE were asked to write about 'Array' in a recently held examination of the JNTU-H. The response of students turned out is the most shocking and yet hilarious.
The answer from one of the students was: 'Array' is related to how people call others with words like 'Arei", 'Ore', 'Eera' in the Telugu language. (Array is a type of data structure. It stores a fixed-size sequential collection of elements of the same type. It is used to store a collection of data).
These answers gave quite a laughing time for the evaluators. But, on a serious note, these are the answers of the students, who had qualified in the Telangana State Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (TS EAMCET) and entering the portals of the technical education.
Besides, coming across such a comedy show in numerous answer sheets, the one evaluator pointed out what is worrisome is that the students do not know even the basics, after studying the entire semester or a year. When we come across such answers in a good number of answer scripts from the same college then it was not only students but there is also something amiss in the case of those who are teaching them, he added.
For example, when the students were asked to distinguish between the concepts of 'Hardware' and 'Software', the answers turn out to be one of its kind classic example for the evaluators. The answer was 'Hardware is hard' and 'Software is soft,’ and 'software is made in India' and 'Hardware is made abroad" said another evaluator.
Taking the hilarious answers to the next level, some students, while answering a question on the 'Cascading Style Sheet'(CSS) said that ‘the sheets can be purchased from any stationery shop, underlining, there would be several kinds of style sheets sold.
That apart, some students give wings to their creativity in answering question filling the pages by writing filmy stories. This was to gain the sympathy of the evaluators in one way or the other and to get at least minimum pass marks, said another senior evaluator engaged in correcting answer sheets of the JNTU-H.
"This is the case with different colleges under the JNTU-H in which many of the students are studying under the fee reimbursement scheme. What is happening in the case of autonomous colleges is not known," he said. Adding to this, recently, the JNTU-H had withheld the results of a college suspecting mass copying took place in the examinations.
Speaking to The Hans India, a senior official from the university said that what was written in one answer booklet is the same in several answer scripts of other students. And, even after a month of the university withholding results, the college did not approach the university to inquire the reasons for withholding declaration of results of their students. This reflects the sorry state of affairs of engineering education.
"It is against this backdrop that when the university has been putting in place stringent measure it is getting targeted for being unreasonable and strict, the official said.


i installed a new alternator and it still stays on
Toyota Q&AAsk Your Question
1990 Toyota 4Runner Question: why does the alternator light stay on after cranking
Answer #1euromech December 05, 2011, 16:56Journeyman
Have you checked the voltage at battery positive and negative terminals while engine running.
Reading should be between 13.2-14.4 voltage. Either lower or higher reading indicates bad battery; bad connection(to ground)
or shorting in wiring.
Answer #2PARTS GUY December 05, 2011, 21:04Master
The required voltage at the batery is a minimum of 13.5 volts and a maxium of 14.5. At idle with lights, A/C and wipers on it has to mantain 13.5 volts. You need to have the battery check and clean your terminals good.
Answer #3patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, December 05, 2011, 23:12Master
Just to add if the alternator is not charging on that cat the brake light and battery light will stay on (even if the brake fluid level is OK and hand brake is off.)


An attorney says Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston’s student code of conduct hearing has been scheduled for the week of Nov. 17.
John Clune, a lawyer for the woman who says Winston sexually assaulted her, confirmed the time frame Tuesday to The Associated Press.
Winston is facing a university hearing to determine whether he violated four sections of the code of conduct – two for sexual misconduct and two for endangerment.
The former female student said he assaulted her in December 2012.
Baine Kerr, one of the woman’s lawyers, said, “It’s gratifying to our client for sure. Essentially nothing’s happened for almost two years, now something may be happening.”
A university spokeswoman and the adviser to Winston’s family did not immediately return phone messages.

More and more Art Appreciation classes are embracing the hands-on experience when it comes to the in-class experience. Gone are the days of lecture and unengaged students. I have never considered myself a “lecturer.” I teach this class more like a studio class and it makes it more interesting for all of us. My class is at 8am and you bet there are plenty of students that don’t want to be there, so every week we conquer a new hands-on assignment. I think its a great way to engage the student’s creativity. Many professors have embraced this since my first sharing of hand-on exercises back in 2010 and the interest has grown. Now, there have been listings in the school catalog for Art Appreciation classes that say “hands-on.” It is nice to think that I had a hand in this trend.
These images are from the Printmaking week. Political Art, stencils and spray paint. Oct, 2016 I believe. Posters made and put up around campus.
144 Instagrams, September 2010, 30×30″, giclee’ print on enhanced matte paper
My wife and I joke that “if you didn’t Instagram it, It didn’t happen”. This printed work catalogs about a years worth of Instagrams. Not everthing was used, but in this piece you can make out my love of type, movie screen captures, pottery, and common icons/architecture/fixtures that go unnoticed daily. Instagram captures images in a square format. I wonder why they decided that. Maybe it is nod to the instamatic…the Polaroid. Either way, its difficult to capture things visually within this format as we have become accustomed to a wider format and even wide-screen. Squares remind me of grids and grids remind me of architecture. My first introduction to drawing was in a Drafting class so many years ago in high school. I still remember how I “got it”. So much so that I won the award for that year. It wouldn’t be until 10 years later that I would pursue an art education in college. I get the square, but it’s tough to be square all the time.
Four Walls Poster: November 2013
Simple and to the point. I could have skewed the type in program (either Illustrator or Photoshop), but the romantic notion of “hands-on” tempted my heart. Four Walls is a concept for an exhibition whereby 4 student artists are chosen to create a work of art on one of our four gallery walls. Lakeview gallery, Tarrant County College Northwest.
Though simple, this is probably the poster I am most proud of. Yes, it is up there. I think because it is an elegant solution to what could be a complex problem if you were to use software only. As you can see, there were a number of configurations for the foam-core walls. I chose to a configuration that honored the same placement in the gallery. After importing the photo in computer, I had to sell the type as transparent. So, the foam-core became like a maquette of sorts–guiding type I would create in program (Illustrator).
I was loads of fun to do and I am so pleased with the outcome.
Mandala Project: November 2015
I teach Art Appreciation from a studio perspective. I believe it makes what might be a boring class into a class that is exciting and interactive. In this, we cover artists and materials artists use. This is one of those projects that you have in your head, but haven’t road tested it in class. The students are guinea pigs in essence. I get excited in these situations and even more excited when the projects turn out better than expected. Students handed in designs on folded paper (pic 1). Then I used Illustrator and Photoshop to help crop(pic 2) and clean up/finalize(pic3). As we also covered basic color theory in the same class, we will color the mandalas next time. Looking forward to it.

Why a Small-Town Record Store in Rural Pennsylvania Was My First Library
Jolene McIlwain on Rural America, Songwriting, and Oral Storytelling
At Gene’s Music City, albums covered in sagging plastic wrap lined three walls. Behind the counter 45s hung on a massive peg board and hundreds more LPs seemed to be waiting on the shelves, readying to be flipped through. Gene was a near-twin to Wolfman Jack, the well-known thick-haired, bearded disc jockey of the 70s, but Gene was quieter, more contemplative. He’d play a tune if you asked for a sample, handling the vinyl like blown glass.
Though my blue-collar family struggled between layoffs, we owned a stereo console cabinet with good solid speakers. We might not have been a reading family with shelves of books, but we had a modest yet amazing collection of records. We were a music family. I spent hours memorizing lyrics of my dad’s favorites, “Boy Named Sue” from Johnny Cash’s At San Quentin album, all of Hank William’s hits, Patsy Cline’s.
After I learned to read, I pored over liner notes, transcribing lyrics, gingerly lifting the needle to replay and replay until I got the words just right as this was important work, learning this kind of storytelling. I knew it then, and in countless ways I’m sure of it now.
Neuroscientists and researchers, studying neural pathways with the help of music and MRIs, have proven that in adolescence, the effect of listening to music is particularly powerful: we are laying down the tracks along which we’ll respond to music for decades to come. So, bookstore owners, music store owners like Gene, and librarians hold the keys to powerful experiences for Americans who are cut off by geography.
Recent studies of rural communities and education have also shown that rural America, like urban America, is diverse in economics, race, and lifestyle, recognizing there are categories of rural—“fringe,” “distant,” and “remote”—with unique needs. Librarians are doing their best to clarify the specific needs of those in rural America and then developing ways to meet them despite lack of funding and support, but there is still much to improve.
Like many young kids in urban settings, those from my rural western Pennsylvania community had limited library exposure; some of us never stepped foot in a real library until junior high. Elementary schools shared a traveling librarian who’d cart books in her car. A bookmobile showed up each month, depending on the weather, but it’s nearly impossible to learn the art of browsing stacks when others are waiting for their turns, when there’s no lingering allowed. And those who lived too far out didn’t have access to free public library cards; only kids in town did. Instead, it was music that made me a writer.
Through songs, I built my lexicon as well as my early story craft. Back then, I hadn’t yet heard of so-called “high” and “low” art, of pop culture and the cultured elite; back then, no one knew Dylan would win the Nobel or they would teach his lyrics at the Ivys. I just knew that with one Carly Simon song, I not only learned the meanings of “vain,” “yacht,” “gavotte,” “eclipse,” “naïve,” “lear jet,” I found, on our spinning globe, the Saratoga and Nova Scotia she mentioned in “You’re So Vain.” And I was obsessed.
I can’t remember many paragraphs from books I’ve loved, ones I’ve read and taught time and time again. I may not have been able to memorize lines from the Canterbury Tales or The Declaration of Independence or Poe’s “Annabelle Lee,” but I still remember the entirety of “Devil Went Down to Georgia” and “Hotel California.” Songs like The Eagles’s “Hotel California” taught me the effectiveness of place, concrete detail, metaphor. Was the hotel actually Hell? What is that “warm smell of colitas” and what are those “mission bells”? My siblings, my friends, and I deconstructed the lyrics together, making attempts at meaning. Sometimes I’d go for days wondering … It was my first taste of literary analysis, of understanding the elements of story. This curiosity led to my first desire to write my own stories.
I studied pathos in songs—didn’t have the word for it until I was in college, but I could feel it. I wanted to learn how to bring on that aching like Elvis singing “Old Shep,” Michael Jackson singing “Ben,” (from the movie of the same name—good gravy, a young musician with a rat as his pet, and yes, spoiler alert, in the movie the rat dies), and Henry Gross singing “Shannon” written about Beach Boy Brian Wilson’s dead dog (Yes, I had a thing for songs written about dying animals, still do!).
The legends I learned about through songs were also endlessly compelling—some from real life (Gordon Lightfoot’s “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”) and some entirely fictional (Bobby Gentry’s “The Ode to Billie Joe”). Also, many “legend” songs had twist endings and I’d studied them long before I knew of O’Henry. Vickie Lawrence sang the ever-confusing “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia” with an ending that Tarantino’s characters discuss in the opening scene of Reservoir Dogs.
Powerful endings were another element I learned from songs like “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” which reveals in the end that the man stopped loving his former lover “today” only because he is dead! It was one of my dad’s favorites and I remember Dad whispering, just before the last verse began, “Here’s the kicker, listen.”Songs, like books would later do, gave me an opportunity to walk into worlds I wasn’t allowed to venture into.
I’d overhear Gene mentioning how he was “digging” the bridge in a song. And once I learned what he meant, well, yes! movements into the bridges (as in Springsteen’s “Born to Run”) or choruses (James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain”) highlighted these concepts so well that I could easily recognize this same work in non-songwriting.
Meatloaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” and Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” give us the elements of mosaic writing, contrasting styles of story telling, and the infinite power of juxtaposition I would later cherish in literature, such as Elizabeth Wetmore’s Valentine and George Saunders’s Lincoln in the Bardo.
Songwriters know their audience, and writers must, too. Some songs make the listeners do the hard work of translation with their oblique references: Was “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” code for LSD? I so badly wanted to ask Gene. He’d know. I always eavesdropped on his conversations listening for these small details, keeping my eyes on the albums and not on the Day-glo blacklight posters of cobras that led to the back room because I was warned by friends that if I stared at them too long I might get high. There was so much to learn, and songs, like books would later do, gave me an opportunity to walk into worlds I wasn’t allowed to venture into, worlds of sex and drugs and worlds beyond my working class life.
Words from artists’ native languages found their way into my house, and my dad, the son of an Italian immigrant, loved songs that bridged these worlds. I can’t hear Don Ho singing “Tiny Bubbles” without hearing my dad’s deep baritone voice attempting to sing those Hawaiian words. My mom sang “Que Sera, Sera” just like Doris Day, and we kids sang ABBA’s “Chiquitita.” Rod Stewart’s “Georgie Boy,” introduced me to the reality of violence against the gay community. Helen Reddy’s “I Am Woman,” led to discussions about female empowerment. Dolly Parton’s message in “Coat of Many Colors” taught me that the shame attached to being poor can be overcome if we just learn how to celebrate our vast creativity.
These songs taught lessons I couldn’t have learned as effectively in a formal school setting. Words from a textbook or lecture wouldn’t necessarily stick like those in the strong voices of Stewart, Parton, and Reddy. As a teenager, The Eagles’s “The Last Resort” led me to seek out more information about how not just my own state of Pennsylvania was affected by industry, development, greed—what I would later learn was the concept of manifest destiny—but about how many more places were affected similarly. I remember sitting in the living room listening to the skip, skip, skip at the record’s end, lifting the needle and playing it again—the delicate piano notes in the middle maybe symbolizing how delicate our Earth is.
Kids like me are still held back, still internalizing the message that the way they’ve come to stories is not up to par with the way it should be done. You won’t find the stories my neighbors tell in the literary canon. By certain measures, it could seem we were limited by place, by culture, by language, by economics.
When ABBA’s Mamma Mia hit the broadway stage in 2001, there was no way I could afford to see it. But I try to remember that we always had music on the radio and we had Gene’s Music City, and when I write my stories I work to honor those artists who taught me pacing, character development, pathos, sense of place, by including the titles of their songs in my tales every chance I get. I may not name-drop Shakespeare and Dostoevsky but you’ll definitely see the names of singer-songwriters and their beautiful work.
When I met the boy who would become my future husband, we sat in his mom and dad’s old Buick Skylark, in the middle of the western Pennsylvania woods, looking out for red fox and whitetails, watching the snow fall on the windshield, hoping the tires would get us home safely on the dirt roads, and we listened to Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” and Rush’s “The Trees” and an honest-to-goodness love story was born. I’d found yet another person in this small town who’d analyze songs with me.

The Maharashtra government has envisaged a plan to modernize 150 State Transport depots across the state. Speaking to TrafficinfraTech, Transport Minister Anil Parab, said, “The whole idea of depot modernization is to explore how the transport department can commercially leverage its landbank.”
Considering the transport department has huge landbank across Maharashtra, such modernization will shape the department revenue-wise, which are facing losses. Under this [modernization] plan, the government will design the depot on a PPP model keeping in mind the essence of the state to maintain the uniformity. Besides, said Parab, “we would like to see all our depot digitized with video walls which can generate revenue for that particular depot.” The ministry has already awarded three depots in the state for modernization.


AZ Alkmaar striker Vincent Janssen scored goals for fun to earn a big money move to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2016. In total, the Dutchman hit the net 31 times in all competitions during his debut season in the Eredivisie – though all but four came in the league.
As well all know, Dutch football is not the most accurate barometer of a striker’s talents and perhaps Janssen’s record in European football should have been a cause for concern. Janssen started all six group stage games in the 2015/16 Europa League and scored just once in games against Augsburg, Partizan Belgrade and Athletic Bilbao.
Consequently, while Spurs fans may be a little fearful that Cenk Tosun, like Janssen, has not proven himself in a major European league, at least the Besiktas striker has plenty of pedigree at the continent’s top table.
Not another Janssen
The Premier League trio certainly timed their trip well with Tosun scoring twice in a 2-2 draw. And though prolific form in the Turkish league doesn’t exactly guarantee success in a much more competitive league, the 26-year-old’s form in the Champions League should give Spurs hope that he is not another dud.
Tosun inspired a victory over Porto in September with a laser-like long-range finish before setting up a goal in the 2-0 win against RB Leipzig. Last season, the striker scored the UEFA Official Goal of the Group Stages with a sunning bicycle kick against Benfica before netting three in three Europa League starts after Besiktas finished third in their group.
Janssen never managed that.

Even though Prince William and Kate Middleton have cemented their place as royals, it wasn't always the case as they were formerly considered naïve for the responsibility.
Royal commentator Victoria Arbiter said that the Duke of Cambridge was somewhat equipped with the way royal life works hand-in-hand with the media his wife Kate however, had no clue of what was to come.
“I think perhaps they may have both been a little naïve about what was to come.
“William understood how the media works but Kate would have had no idea what it meant to be on the receiving end of the tabloid press.”
However she added that the couple were thought to be more down to earth though they were rather protected from the harsh reality of the media.
“Going to university, by undertaking gap years, by spending time with regular people, doing regular things in a very ordinary fashion.
“That is really going to set William and Kate up for a future as King and Queen Consort in which they can relate to the people that they are supposedly governing.
“Graduation for William and Kate was their last moment in that protective bubble."
