I’ve never been pro or anti-gun. I’ve just never had an opinion on it. It is a hot issue, but one I’ve never felt strongly about. I know that getting guns off the streets could mean less crime. I know that most gun crime is committed by guns obtained illegally. I don’t think you need semi-automatic or automatic weapons to hunt deer. I see both sides of the argument and dangle my feet on both sides of the fence. I’ve never wanted a gun but to each their own.
Lately I have been thinking more and more about owning one. Not because I’m afraid of crime or because I want to carry a concealed weapon (that’s legal in Missouri). It really comes down to the amount of nutjobs there are in the world right now. No, I’m not talking Tom Cruise believes aliens dropped frozen souls into volcanoes type of nutjobs. I’m talking about people who are so easily manipulated that they get whipped up into a frenzy even though what they are yelling about makes no sense. I’m talking about allowing people who don’t have the mental capacity to own guns suddenly buying them. Or people who have no problem burning people in effigy.
The point is, there are some crazy people out there and when people who are supposed to be responsible leaders shout fire and brimstone from their pulpit, nothing good can come. Look at the racist, bigoted, nonsensical things that have come about from the tea baggers and the birthers. Look at Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann, and Michelle Malkin. Look at the hatred in the last campaign from Sarah Palin supporters. It was disgusting. I know owning a gun isn’t going change these nutjobs, but if these people are armed and get in their heads there needs to be a revolution, why shouldn’t I be able to protect myself against these lunatics? The prospect of owning a gun is becoming more and more appealing.

Welcome to Year 4 - Wiltshire Class
YEAR 4 CONTACT DETAILS:
MR Gale (ASSISTANT HEADTEACHER) - firstname.lastname@example.org
MR MOORE (HEADTEACHER) : email@example.com
Our class name has been chosen this year by the children in year 4. They have chosen to name themselves after Stephen Wiltshire - an artist with an extraordinary memory who can paint detailed landscapes from memory.
He has travelled all over the world to draw landscapes and cityscapes and his work has become popular. Stephen embodies many of the values we hold at Downsview. In his childhood, Stephen found talking difficult and it was later found out he was autistic. He was mute until he was nine years old and consequently found making friends challenging. However, he loved drawing and would communicate through his art. In addition, it was discovered he had a fantastic memory and would often draw different places he had seen from memory. By the time Stephen was in secondary school, through his art being featured on a BBC program, Stephen had become famous.
He now gets invited all over the world to draw different cities and landscapes. This includes Hong Kong where he drew harbour city, America, where he drew New York and of course London where he has drawn multiple buildings and skylines. He has also been awarded an MBE for his contribution to art.
He was chosen by our class because, although he found communicating with others difficult, he did not let that stop him from following his passion of art. Through this determination to succeed he embodied our Downsview values of self-belief and excellence. In fact, he even has a motto, “Do the best you can and never give up.”

‘Businesses to ‘hibernate’ through coronavirus crisis’. We’ve read the headlines, watched copious news reports and together as a nation of thriving SME’s we are still trying to come to grips with the uncertainties of what the world is going to look like post COVID-19.
Aside from the government interventions that are being put into place to minimise the impact of this global crisis, the stark reality for many, if not all businesses globally, is that life as we know it, will never be the same again.
Sadly, the market place has taken a massive hit.
In just a matter of months, uncertainty, fear and panic have become the dominant market forces. Empty shelves and rising prices weave across an unsettled path of long-term sustainability as the world battles both a health and an economic crisis simultaneously.
Business for providers of essential services and products now stands at the mercy of government authorities, charged with managing the spread of COVI-19, whilst all other ‘non-essential’ providers face either forced or self-imposed ‘hibernation’ in response to declining economic forces.
None of us really know when this pandemic will end, however we have the confidence of global events of past decades to reassure us that it will.
Within our last insight, ‘Marketing through a Pandemic’, we looked at the importance of maintaining a healthy and realistic mindset for the future and acknowledged that as long as there are people with needs and wants, there will always be a market place.
How to be productive in hibernation
Preparing for how this market place is going to look and operate on the other side of COVID-19 is ultimately the key to long term survival and the goal behind utilising our ‘hibernation’ time effectively.
When living though times of uncertainty, forward movement requires preparation and flexibility. Those who have the capacity to tackle problems with a calm and strategic resolve, deploy the level of leadership needed to move beyond the immediate gloom and doom toward preparing strategies to hit the ground running as soon as the green light come on.
The NEW business as normal
What the NEW business as normal will look like, only time will truly tell.
What we do know however, is that the Coronavirus pandemic has dramatically changed the way that we live (be it temporary) which in turn has already impacted the way we do business.
With repercussions expected to be felt for weeks, months and years to come, life post hibernation requires a more fluid marketing approach, one that can move with the ebbs and flow of a global pandemic.
While none of us hold a crystal ball, all of us have at our disposal a set of marketing elements that ultimately work together to guide our customers buying/consumption journey. Understanding the changing dynamic of these elements in light of the current situation will help us to anticipate the needs and expectations of our customers though these unprecedented times.
Revisiting your Marketing Mix-the 4 P’s
Empathy with our customer is ultimately our best analytical tool when it comes to long term survival.
Anticipating their needs not just for the immediate short term, but for the mid to long term, will empower us to develop a successful recovery plan and build a sustainability long term business.
While the type of questions summarised below are not an exhausting list, our goal is to initiate a strategic thought process that will enable us to make the necessary adjustments to our marketing mix.
Product / Services
• How relevant are your products in this current climate?
• Do your products fall within the ‘essential’ range of consumer-packaged goods or are you marketing a non-essential ‘luxury’ item?
• Do they still offer the same benefits to the user?
• Has there been a dramatic shift in consumer demand and expectations?
• Has there been a measurable change to your market share?
• Are there modifications required to make your products more consumable?

• What impact has the current climate had on your product mix?
• Do you need to add additional product lines to maintain the current level of sales and profitability?
• Has there been a shift in the consumers perceived value proposition for your product in light of the current climate?
• Will you need to alter your pricing structure to remain competitive?
• Have you experienced a change in the cost of goods that will ultimately impact the price of your products?
• If required, will a price alteration be sustainable in the short to mid term during and following the COVID-19 crisis?
• Do you need to revisit your payment terms and offer more viable options?
Place / Distribution
• Have your product sales been impacted by the physical closure or a brick and mortar shop?
• Are you able to sustain the closure of physical shops during the short to midterm?
• Are your products available through direct online orders?
• Are your products supported with relevant and realistic delivery options?
• Is your return policy still relevant in the current climate?
• Are your products available through other distribution outlets?
• Do you need to extend your distribution channels to facilitate online purchases?
• Does your distribution strategy offer the consumer any advantage over your competitors?
• Have you had to suspend or alter your forecasted promotional activity in light of the current situation?
• Do you have the necessary marketing and communications resources backed by organisation leadership to navigate through the uncertainty of the forthcoming weeks and months?
• Have you been effective in communicating to your consumers (current & potential) during COVID-19?
• Does your online communications strategy require a boost?
• Is the market place requiring a different promotional mix with regards to your sales and advertising approach?
• Is your promotional strategy supportive of competitive activity?
• Are you working collaboratively with your peers to strengthen and build your specific industry?

Instagram, which is anticipated to have 1.2 billion users by 2023, provides a huge opportunity for small business owners to expand their marketing efforts, and marketers all over the world are aware of this. According to the Social Media Examiner’s social media marketing report for 2021, “78% of marketers are using Instagram.” Marketers regard it as the second most significant social media site behind Facebook, with 64% wanting to increase their Instagram participation in the following year.
Instead of a large number of active users, Instagram’s potential is built on user behavior: Instagrammers like communicating with advertisers. According to Instagram, ninety percent of users follow a brand on the network. According to Facebook-commissioned statistics from 2019, 54% of individuals have purchased after viewing a product or service on Instagram.
Instagram is ideal for small company owners that don’t have the time or money to invest in costly marketing initiatives. Without a specialized marketing staff or a large budget, you may increase your consumer base through unpaid social media marketing – all you need is a free account and a smartphone camera to get started. To grow your Instagram brand you could visit Skweezer.
Whether you own a small bookstore, an e-commerce store, a landscaping company, an auto repair shop, or a yoga class, Instagram can help you grow your business. You can be successful on Instagram if your clients are on it.
If you only have time to spend on one or two social media channels, make sure that Instagram is well-liked by your potential clients. Here are several options for finding out.
1. Consult your clients
The simplest way to find out if your consumers are active on Instagram is to just ask!
If you already have an email list, send a quick poll to your customers about their social media habits. Inquire about their favorite mode of contact and how they prefer to keep up with businesses.
For polling your audience, SurveyMonkey and Typeform are two free options. Typeform’s social media survey template may also inspire. Customize it with questions that will offer you information about your customers.
2. Make a comparison between your target audience and the Instagram audience.
On different social media sites, different groups of people are more engaged than others. Compare the demographics (age, gender, income, geographic area, and so on) and psychographics (psychological factors like interests, personality, and values) of your target audience to the social media platforms you’re investigating.
For example, the 18-29-year-olds are the most active on Instagram, while the 50-64-year-olds are the most active on Pinterest.
3. Evaluate your rivals
Clients who shop at your competitors’ stores are potential new customers for you. So, if businesses similar to yours are doing well on Instagram, it’s likely that your consumers are doing well as well. All that’s left for you to do now is start blogging!
If none of your rivals are using Instagram, it may not be the best platform for you. However, if enough consumers have indicated that they would like to follow your brand on Instagram, go ahead and create an account. You may be the first brand in your sector to uncover Instagram’s untapped potential.
As a small business, getting started with an Instagram strategy
Whether you’re brand new to Instagram and getting ready to publish your first post or you’re a seasoned pro trying to expand your reach, it’s critical to start with clear goals in mind to dictate the type of material you should share.
Small business Instagram objectives
You may upload a wide variety of content on Instagram. Setting goals can aid in the definition of your Instagram marketing plan and the narrowing of your emphasis, making it much easier to decide what to post!
Here are some frequent objectives for small businesses:
Boost your sales
Choose one or two goals for your Instagram page and create content around them.
Create content pillars or topics that are relevant to your target audience.
After you’ve established your objectives, selecting themes to drive your material might be beneficial. Your brand will be more consistent, and your audience will be more thrilled to connect with you since they will know what to anticipate. Behind-the-scenes content, for example, might be used as a content pillar (or theme).
To get you started, here are some examples of Instagram content pillars:


This pump reduces your home's energy demand

Watchdog: Driver baffled by intermittent stop/start
Mazda owner believes system is faulty but dealer and manufacturer don't agree
Stop/start is a piece of emissions-busting tech designed to kick in only when it’s beneficial. As you pull up to a set of lights, for example, the system makes a split-second decision about whether switching off the engine – then on again as the lights change – will use more energy than just leaving it running.
So how can you tell if the setup’s working properly? That’s the question frustrating Les Stone, of Salford, Gtr Manchester, who argues the i-stop system in his 62-reg Mazda CX-5 is suspiciously intermittent. Yet after repeated trips to RRG Mazda in Manchester, the dealer concluded there was no fault with the SUV’s stop/start.
Les told Carbuyer's sister site, Auto Express: “My dealer explained that anything which drained the battery, like the heated rear screen or the air-con, would affect whether it worked. Yet I noticed it would work first thing in the morning from cold, with everything switched on, but then not after a drive on the motorway. It didn’t make sense.”
We called Mazda for help, but it also argued Les’s i-stop wasn’t necessarily faulty. A spokesman said: “Myriad factors based on electrical loadings influence whether the i-stop works. It’s incredibly complicated. Ambient temperature will have an impact, for example, or even switching the cabin air flow from the windscreen to your face.”
The same journey, made on two different days, might therefore result in entirely different pattens of stop/start operation, the spokesman argued, adding: “If it hasn’t kicked in, it’s for a good reason. If it was faulty, there would have been a warning light and it would have been picked up by the dealer during diagnostic tests.”
If Les is still unconvinced, the consumer desk at Auto Express suggested he asks his dealer to make another CX-5 available for an extended test drive. He can then at least establish if the same intermittent pattern applies.
What should you do if it happens to you?
Comparing your car to an identical new model is a great way to test dealer claims there’s nothing wrong with yours. If you find it performs the same, you can assume it is a ‘characteristic’. If your garage refuses to offer a comparison test, however, we’d advise escalating the complaint to the manufacturer.

NBA 2K23 was released on Sept. 9, 2022, around the world, and with the release of the game, gamers are trying to find different ways to customize their player. One way to shake up the game is with virtual currency.
Virtual currency is a necessity in NBA 2K23 unless you do not plan to play MyTeam or other online modes. The currency is not that hard to come by, with players being able to earn it in-game or purchase it in the store
NBA 2K23 VC Prices
5,000 VC - $1.99
15,000 VC - $4.99
35,000 VC - $9.99
75,000 VC - $19.99
200,000 VC - $49.99
450,000 VC - $99.99
You can purchase your VC in the game itself or in the game store on whatever console you are playing on. VC can also be purchased at any store you buy your games at like GameStop or Target. This VC can help players earn different packs in game
For all those who preordered 2K23, you are in luck, as preordering the game rewarded players with 35,000 VC when purchased with a Amex Card.
Virtual credit can be used to help secure player packs in game. Some packs will give you different clothing items and other fun items that can allow you to customize your player to the max. Here are a list of a few of the brands that are being included in clothing items:
Canadian Goose Artic Program
Mitchell & Ness
You can find a complete list of different brands collaborating with NBA 2k23 on our site.
If you do not want to buy virtual credit on top of the money spent to secure the game, you are in luck. Players will earn VC just by playing the game. It will be earned at a much slower pace, but that still doesn't mean you can't earn some rewards along the way.
Other ways to earn VC involve completing the daily rewards, completing quickplay and opening up locker codes that 2K will release sporadically throughout the season. 2K23 has a lot of different ways to customize your character, and whether you buy VC or earn it in game, you will want to make sure you have enough to unlock different items throughout your time playing.

When you or a loved one goes through a traumatizing ordeal such as an accident, a heart attack, or illness, you might need daily therapy and round the clock nursing to get you back on your feet. Although a hospital is the first place someone should go for treatment, it might not be the best place to recover from especially when most of the critical procedures are behind you.
A great place to receive care is in a nursing home, where you or a loved one will receive rehabilitation to the point of going back home and resuming your previous healthy lifestyle. If your doctor proposes rehab care, here is what you can expect.
A rehab is a facility set up to help restore a patient's health to what it was before the patient underwent the ordeal that sent them to the hospital or to the rehab itself. Since the caregivers at the rehab want their patients to get better and leave when they are better, they have to assess every patient's condition to determine whether they have the means to take them through the appropriate treatment.
A caregiver comes up with daily care plans, which are informed by the patient's doctor or their current condition, a plan that they stick to for the period that they are in the institution. Each patient's care plan is unique since each condition, and its severity is unique.
Columbus has an abundance of rehabs, especially those in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. One way of identifying the best rehabs is by visiting SeniorAdvisor.com, which is a great resource for all senior related matters. Some of the top rehabs include:
Franklin Woods Nursing and Rehabilitation Center – This rehab provides outstanding therapy that goes beyond what other rehabs have to offer.
Wexner Heritage Village – This is the ideal rehab to enable patients recover completely.
Minerva Park Nursing and Rehabilitation Center – This rehab offers the full range of services a patient would need to recover completely.
You can ask your doctor or a close health professional to help you in your search or to recommend a rehab for you, or you could even ask friends and neighbors who are beneficiaries of excellent rehab services for advice.
You have to do your research so that you end up signing into a rehab that:
Accepts Medicare and Medicaid.
Has programs designed to meet your needs.
Has a good reputation.
Has qualified staff present in the facility any time of the day or night.
Encourages participation of family members.
Medicare and Medicaid are covers provided by the state and the federal government to help reduce the burden a patient has when paying their medical bills. The above covers have requirements that patients have to fulfill to benefit from them.
Patients and their families can use private insurance if they are regular contributors of a private health insurance package, or they can use their personal savings if they have enough money to clear the bill. Patients and their families can also borrow money from friends and other well-wishers to help them pay for rehab services.

Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has expressed dismay over the low turnout of voters at the ongoing House of Assembly poll in the State.
The governor who alongside his wife, Betty arrived his polling unit, Ijebu Owo ward in Owo Local Government Area of the State at 10:08am maintained that the turnout was critically low compared to what was witnessed during the Presidential and National Assembly elections held two weeks ago.
Akeredolu who attributed the low turnout to power supply of the BEDC which he said made the electorate stay back at home as they watched television, stated that the situation would improve if electricity is temporarily ceased for the purpose of the election.
His words, “The turnout in my unit here does not look impressive and I’m using this opportunity to appeal to our people to come out.
“I’ve been called from various quarters to instruct that the electricity should be put off for the while, in order for people to leave their television set and come out and vote, but I’m not going to do that.
“All I’m just going to do is to appeal for them to come out and vote massively.
The governor who also expressed dissatisfaction as regards the number of political parties listed on the ballot paper, emphasized that it could be confusing to electorate.
He called on the National Assembly to find ways of looking into the situation by streamlining the political parties to limited numbers of parties for a healthy electoral process.
“The ballot paper looks so much unwieldy and the National Assembly must do something about it,” the governor said.
Also at Ipele, which was also monitored by our correspondent, low turnout of voters was also witnessed, as most of the polling units visited were scanty as against what was witnessed two weeks ago.
According toHon. Tunji Dairo of the PDP in the state, the low turnout could be attributed to non adequate sensitization by both the political parties and INEC.

The Big Picture
- Best. Christmas. Ever! is a Christmas-centric feature that follows two old friends who have an unexpected reunion right before Christmas.
- The movie centers on Jackie and Charlotte, college friends with a frenemy dynamic, as Charlotte tries to prove that Jackie’s life isn’t as picture-perfect as it seems.
- Brandy Norwood, known for her music career, will have a chance to showcase her singing chops in the movie, with two songs including “Let It Snow” and “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.”
Christmas is coming a little early this year, as Netflix is gearing up to release Best. Christmas. Ever! next month. The Christmas-centric feature debuts on November 16 and follows two old friends who have an unexpected reunion. Earlier this month, Netflix offered a new look at the feature, and today, the streamer has finally released the trailer.
Best. Christmas. Ever! centers on Jackie (Brandy Norwood) and Charlotte (Heather Graham), college friends who have more of a frenemy dynamic going on. Every year, Jackie makes it a point to send Charlotte a newsletter that leaves Charlotte feeling less than. However, in the spirit of Christmas miracles, the pair reunite only a handful of days before Christmas. With Charlotte and her family now face to face with Jackie, Charlotte uses the opportunity to prove that Jackie’s life can’t be as picture-perfect as she makes it out to be.
Best. Christmas. Ever! was written by Todd Gallicano and Charles Shyer, the latter of whom previously penned the screenplay for The Noel Diary, another Netflix Christmas movie. Shyer is also known for movies such as The Parent Trap (1998) and Father of the Bride. Best. Christmas. Ever! was directed by Mary Lambert (Pet Sematary 1989, Halloweentown II). Brad Krevoy produced, with Shyer, Gallicano, Steve Berman, Bryan Bordon, David Wulf, Eric Jarboe, Jimmy Townsend, and Amanda Phillips as executive producers. Alongside Norwood and Graham, the movie stars Jason Biggs, Matt Cedeño, Wyatt Hunt, Abby Villasmil, and Madison Skye Validum.
Brandy Will Have a Couple Musical Numbers in ‘Best. Christmas. Ever!’
While Norwood has starred in a number of projects throughout her career — from leading her own series Moesha to playing Cinderella, and much more — she is also well known for her extensive music career. So, it’s only natural the singer will have a chance to show off her chops (again) in Best. Christmas. Ever!. When speaking with Netflix, Lambert shared that two songs viewers will hear are “Let It Snow” and “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.” According to the director, “Let It Snow” is meant to emphasize Charlotte’s jealousy especially when it comes to Jackie and her husband’s relationship, leaning into the romantic tones. The second song “is actually the narrative of the movie (!) and Brandy liked it.” Additionally, Lambert praised Norwood, stating that that actress and singer is “a consummate professional and when she sings she transcends. It was an honor and a treat to be so close to her performance.”
Best. Christmas. Ever! premieres globally on November 16 on Netflix. Watch the trailer below:

It was just before noon when I heard the first explosion. I rushed to my window and barely did I get there and look out when I was pushed back by the force and air pressure of another explosion. For a few moments I didn’t understand but then I realized that Israeli promises of a wide-scale offensive against the Gaza Strip had materialized. Safa Joudeh writes from the besieged Gaza Strip. Read more about "The amount of death and destruction is inconceivable"
Yesterday, after I finished my lecture at one of Gaza’s universities, my wife asked me to bring some bread from Gaza City. All bakeries in our area have stopped operating because of the lack of flour and cooking gas due to Israel’s 18-month siege of the territory. I drove throughout Gaza City to try to find some bread for my four children, instead finding a miserable scene.

Israeli politicians, in the run-up to elections, are promising to deal a severe blow to Gaza as this is how Israeli policy is made. However, every household in Gaza is already under siege. In Gaza you can only find pale, angry and frustrated faces. If you visit my house you won’t find power, while my neighbor is out of gas. Another neighbor seeks potable water as power outages have left him without for four days. A third neighbor desparately looks for milk for his child but does so in vain. Sameh A. Habeeb writes from the occupied Gaza Strip. Read more about Hunger before the storm
Leila pointed towards a lone tree and small house on a ridge above what appeared to be a vacant lot. “This was a great field,” she said, “filled with lime, guava and orange trees. They destroyed them, killed the trees,” she explained, referring to Israeli invasions over the years. “A few days after he learned his trees had been destroyed, the man who owned and tended to the trees passed away.” Eva Bartlett reports from the occupied Gaza Strip. Read more about "I was afraid they would destroy our trees"
On Saturday, banks in Gaza were thronged by lines of disappointed Palestinians who were expecting to receive part of their salaries before the Eid al-Adha holiday, which begins on Monday. Salam Fayyad, the Palestinian Authority’s appointed Prime Minister based in Ramallah, foresaw the cash crisis earlier in the week and urged Israel to allow the transfer of shekels to Gaza, citing a needed 250 million shekels ($63 million) to pay the salaries. EI contributor Eva Bartlett reports from the occupied Gaza Strip. Read more about No Eid celebration in Gaza
Israel has further tightened the screw on Gaza, where some areas have been completely plunged into darkness as fuel shortages shut down Gaza’s sole power plant 25 days ago. The power cuts affect all activities dependent on electrical power as the remaining power sources provided by Israel and Egypt cannot serve the needs of the whole of the Gaza Strip. Access to drinking and irrigation water is affected, as well as sewage treatment, risking disease. Sameh A. Habeeb reports from the occupied Gaza Strip. Read more about "We are slowly dying"
Israel’s 17-month siege, tightened over the past three weeks, has forced Palestinians to find other ways to meet their basic needs. Because Israel has closed border crossings into Gaza, the 1.5 million residents lack many essential supplies including food, medicines, fuel, cooking gas, and now, electricity. Rami Almeghari writes from the Gaza Strip. Read more about Gazan bakers cope under siege
Israel’s siege on Gaza, now in its 19th month, has wreaked havoc on all aspects of life and significant attention has been paid in particular to the economic consequences of border closures and blockade. However, an overlooked epidemic threatens the social and familial ties that bond the 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza. Living under a constant state of crisis in which their livelihoods have been denied, the people of Gaza’s once exemplary resilience and determination are giving way to an unfathomable sea of depression and psychological illnesses. EI contributor Safa Joudeh reports on one Gaza family’s story. Read more about A psychological siege
On Saturday, 22 November, I toured Gaza City and authenticated the bleak reality of people through my camera. The dark streets further demonstrating the physical and spiritual fatigue experienced by Palestinians, now enduring the 18th month of Israel’s siege while the world remains indifferent to their suffering. Sameh Habeeb’s photographs tell a story of Gazans living without power. Read more about Photo essay: A dark night in Gaza
Over the past two weeks, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have faced a sharply deteriorating humanitarian situation as Israel further tightened its closure of the border crossings. Virtually no food, medicine or other vital supplies have been allowed in to the territory that is home to 1.5 million people. Despite desperately needed medication, equipment, supplies, and spare parts, doctors continue to try to save lives and look after their patients at the European Gaza Hospital.

A woman often experiences cramps during her pregnancy and at 16 weeks it is no different. Pregnancy is a stressful time for a woman’s body and hence it goes through many hormonal and physical changes to make things easier for the mother and the child. In order to accommodate the growing fetus, the uterus increases in size and can cause pressure on the other organs, nerves and ligaments which leads to a lot of pain in the abdominal area.
There can be aches in the muscles, bone joints and pain due to swelling of limbs which is a result of excessive water retention, besides varicose veins cause pain too as the blood vessels increase in size and swell up. There can be many reasons for cramps during pregnancy and although there are still many weeks to go, it will be helpful if the mother has a healthy routine which will ease the cramps.
- Exercise: Exercise is necessary all the time, more so during pregnancy which will help to keep the limbs flexible and prevent you from putting a lot of weight which can also lead to muscle aches. Do mild exercise like yoga or walking regularly
- Diet: There are many kinds of foods which will help prevent cramps. Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, fish, certain spices and teas which have a calming effect on the body and flushes out toxins.
- Drink water: Drink water and cut down on oily or sodium-rich foods as this will prevent water retention and reduce swelling of the limbs and pains
- Sleep: Sleep on your side as the uterus creates pressure on the nerves on your back, or you can also go for warm baths and massages to ease the cramps
- Clothes: Wear loose clothes which are not restricting and that will remove pressure from varicose veins and make you more comfortable

Nearly every man wants to be a gentleman. He may not know exactly what that means, but his true desire is to be respected and admired in the way only a gentleman can be. He wants to be prepared and confident, certain that his judgment is shrewd and his behavior appropriate. A gentleman considers the weight of his words and the impression he is leaving. He knows when to ignore his iPhone in favor of a face-to-face conversation, and he understands that sometimes he should simply say nothing at all. He knows what to do with his sport jacket at the end of the day, and what color shoes he should never wear to a funeral. Snapping at a telemarketer calling from some far-flung place? A gentleman realizes that’s no way to communicate with anyone. He knows the difference between “I’m sorry” and “Excuse me,” and he doesn’t use them interchangeably. Being a gentleman is timeless; these are ideals that will never be obliterated by technology, the latest social ideology, or protests from men who are content to do less.

Ugh. Learn what a BOOK is :\
Possibly, if done in proper format. This isn't really a book to me. A book to me is defined as something consisting of paragraphs, a point, and structure.
This should be titled, "How to be a Gentleman: An Extremely Large Collection of Bulletpoints" as every sentence begins with "A Gentleman..." so hearing that, over and over and over and over can be extremely annoying. I got through about 15 minutes (or chapter 1) before wanting to turn it off. I didn't, thinking that this was like an introductory chapter and what I expected was to come, but EVERY CHAPTER is like this. I should have listened to the audio sample before buying. I was looking for a book on this importance of courtesy and manners and the tagline of contemporary courtesy intrigued me, ultimately to annoy me once I really started to listen.
There are no characters :\
It is extremely informative, if someone can handle it's only structure of hearing "A Gentleman..." every 5 to 10 seconds.
LISTEN TO THE AUDIO SAMPLE!!

Introduction to the 1st installment of The Combined Diary
This first installment (that you can download through the link below) narrates Baba’s inauguration, in early August 1924, of a phase that recalls — or rather, seems to anticipate — the opening of the New Life a quarter century later. With a small group of disciples Baba set off by train for Raichur in south India, with the stated objective of bowing down to 5000 sadhus and saints. At one point Baba even expressed the hope that He would be “rebuked and abused” in the course of this work, since this would “bring about the downfall of his d[i]vine pride”! The train trip was beset with difficulties and complications, some due to Baba’s sudden changes of plan, some to the monsoon (which was in full force at this time), and another because of a humorous accident.
The episode that begins in this installment is brought to a culmination in the second installment that will be sent out next week. The source of the information for this section of the Combined Diary was Baba’s disciple Padri.

Dream of: 26 January 2001 "Renoir"
My wife Carolina and I were in the house of a man for whom she seemed to be working as a housekeeper. The man wasn't home at the moment, and I was looking at three paintings which the man owned. All three were abstract works, and were rather small, each only about a foot square. All were the works of famous artists and quite valuable. I was familiar with all the artists Renoir was one and I repeated the painters' names over in my mind as I scrutinized the paintings.
Unexpectedly, the man returned and strolled into the room. He was probably about 50 years old, dressed in a suit, and he looked exactly likeDanny DeVito. He was quite friendly and he didn't seem at all concerned that I was in his home. He seemed interested that I had been looking at the paintings. He walked over to the wall where all three were hanging and admired them. Happy to have his attention, I excitedly blurted out, "How much are they worth?' He asked me how much I thought they were worth and I told him that I had looked in an art book and that the three paintings were priced at $40,000, $40,000 and $30,000. As I spoke out each amount, I pointed to the appropriate painting, and I even pulled out the book from which I had obtained my information. But I also added that the book was out of date, and that the paintings might be worth more, especially the one by Renoir. And when I thought more, I realized that according to my figures, all three paintings only totaled $100,000. When the man looked at me somewhat disdainfully, as if my appraisals were far too low, I realized my mistake and I gushed, "The Renoir alone should be worth $100,000."

Parenting a child is perhaps one of the most challenging tasks we will face during our lifetime. Whether we consider it a job, art, or craft there are few experiences in life that prepare us for the many ups and downs that come with this unique responsibility. Nonetheless, most parents manage to raise their children remarkably well.
In addition to the usual stresses and strains of parenthood, parents of children with special needs face other pressures and must learn to cope with problems in ways that will enhance, rather than, hinder the growth of their child.
Children are diagnosed at different ages. Parents may learn about a condition prior to a child’s birth, immediately after birth, or they may identify concerns more slowly as the child matures.
Regardless of when your child receives a diagnosis, your reaction may be strong and often traumatic. No parent is prepared for this news. Upon learning that your child may have special needs, most parents react in ways that have been shared with all parents before them who have been faced with this challenge.
The following is a look at some commonly reported reactions to parenting a child with special needs:
A common first reaction is denial. Denial, in fact, may act as a protective device, giving parents additional time to adjust to and absorb information. Denial quickly merges with anger. Anger may be directed at the medical professional giving the news, a spouse, family members, and the child himself. At times, the anger will seem so intense parents feel that the world is against them. Parents may avoid medical professionals, family, friends, and even neighbours who confront them with a reality they are not ready to accept.
Fear and guilt may also be present. Fear may arise if parents are unsure of the diagnosis, the implications of it, and what the future holds. When a parent is given information about a diagnosis, it is common to only take in bits and pieces of that information. Large chunks of a discussion can disappear. You are unsure of what you have heard, or what it means. A medical or developmental professional may use jargon or terminology that is completely unfamiliar to you. You may be overwhelmed and unable to ask questions or clarify the information you do not understand. You may fear the reactions of your family members to this news and you may fear that your child will be rejected by society.
Parents may also feel greatly alienated or separated from others. You believe that no one else is coping with a situation like yours. Guilt is often associated with feelings that you could have done something to prevent this. Parents ask “Why us?” and search for explanations. Much self-reproach and feelings of remorse, or sorrow can stem from questioning the causes of your child’s special needs.
Guilt may also lead to confusion during this traumatic period. As a result of not fully understanding what is happening and what will happen, confusion may reveal itself in sleeplessness, inability to make decisions, and general overload. As with fear, confusion is often related to being forced into a world that is unfamiliar to you. Medical or developmental terms are feeling like a new vocabulary and you find that you cannot make sense of it.
Feeling helpless to change what is happening can occur. You may recognize that you cannot change the nature of the diagnosis and it is very difficult to rely on the judgments and opinions of the professionals with whom you have had contact. You are interacting with people who are basically strangers to you and with whom no bond of trust has yet been established. Helplessness is often accompanied by disappointment. Disappointment related to your expectations being changed can create a roadblock or barrier to acceptance of your child.
Rejection may also be present. Rejection can be directed toward your child, a medical professional, or toward other family members. Rejection and depression are often linked to one another.
Many families reach a stage of adaptation where they can accept their child, the diagnosis, and themselves. At this stage, families begin to find, or pull together resources to adapt to the situation and to help cope with what is to come.
Not all parents go through these stages, but it is important for parents to identify with all of the potentially overwhelming emotions that can arise and know that they are not alone. The impact of a child’s diagnosis affects different families in different ways. Keep in mind that there are many actions that you can take immediately to help you and your child.
After the Diagnosis
- Request Information
Your first visit with the doctor may leave you emotionally drained and just not capable of taking in any more information. Try not to do everything
in one visit. Set up a second or third visit with the doctor who diagnosed your child.Before you go for the next visit, write down a list of questions you want to ask, or write down questions during the visit.A few questions to consider asking the doctor can include:
- Does my child need additional testing, blood work, and assessments by other specialists?
- If so, when will the tests be scheduled and when will we know the results?
- How do you know my child has__________?
- Are there other names for my child’s condition?
- How will this affect my child’s development?
- What needs to happen next?
If you do not understand the doctor’s response to your questions, ask him to explain in greater detail. Write down the responses, or bring a tape recorder. Don’t rely on your memory! This is an emotional time for you and you may forget key things the doctor has said. Ask the doctor to give you a list of books on the diagnosis and related support services in your community. Get the information in writing and if you need a referral to another doctor or agency, request that the doctor do it immediately in your presence.
- A Second Opinion
If you have any doubts about the diagnosis or the professional who gave it to you, seek out a second opinion. Do not feel that you have only one option when it comes to having your child assessed. If a medical professional is unable to answer your questions in a manner that you find reasonable and clear, move on. You need to establish a comfort level with a medical professional who may be involved with your child for some years to come. You want to develop a sense of trust with this person and be recognized as a contributing and valued source of information about your child. You are in the best position to observe and report what your child is doing. Be confident that you know your child better than anyone else.
- Parent and Family Counselling
This unique service can assist parents and other family members to help understand the meaning of a child’s diagnosis, and assist them in developing realistic expectations for their child.Counselling sessions also provide an environment in which parents can openly express and work through their feelings. Sessions offer coping self-help skills, group relaxation, self-praise, and self-instruction. Siblings (brothers and sisters) of a child with special needs are often included in counselling sessions. These sessions help siblings work through their feelings and emotions concerning their brother or sister with special needs. It is normal for your other children to feel resentment, fear, embarrassment, and guilt. These problems, if not acknowledged and expressed in appropriate ways, may cause long-term issues.
- Talk to Another Parent
Have your doctor provide you with contact information for parent support services. He should be able to connect you with another parent who has had the same experience as you.Pilot Parents is an example of a parent support group with chapters across Canada and the United States. The program was developed by parents of children with special needs in order to offer support to parents of newly-diagnosed children. You may also be able to locate a support group in your area through organizations dedicated to your child’s particular special needs.
- Talk to Your Family and Friends
When you feel comfortable, share the information about your child’s special needs with your family and friends. You may find that you have a support network already available that you did not expect. Keep them involved and up to date with any important information about your child and family. Family and friends usually want to assist, or help you any way that they can, so let them. For example, you could have them watch your other children when you take your child with special needs to an appointment.
As stated in the first point, get your doctor to make referrals for services that will provide support to you and your child. Ask for a listing of these resources and get a contact name of a person who can provide you with more information. Feel free to call them on a regular basis to inquire where your child is on their wait list and if there are other services you can access that will benefit your child. Keep a binder at hand to hold information that is sent to you and requested of you. Write down important phone numbers and appointments that your child may have. Get written copies of all documentation from doctors, early interventionists, and therapists regarding your child.Families often represent the only long-term, responsible, and caring people in the life of a child with special needs. The family is very important. Interaction with family members deeply influences the child’s opportunities and barriers, challenges and expectations, ambitions and frustrations, and general quality of life. Whether your family is two-parent, single-parent, or extended, it plays a powerful role in your child’s social, emotional, behavioural, and intellectual development.Getting help is a key step in understanding what your child and family needs during this time. Support from professionals and social services agencies can help you build a relationship with your child, and help you recognize your child’s individuality and unique contributions to the family.

Why is my plan not allowing me to contribute to my TFSA beyond a certain amount?
You can contribute up to $7,000 towards your TFSA in 2024. The platform calculates how much you will be contributing towards your TFSA per paycheque depending on your pay cycle (e.g. semi-monthly, biweekly, etc.). If the total amount exceeds the annual TFSA limit, the plan restricts you from contributing more. In addition to the $7,000, you may have contribution room from previous years, in which case you can set up a lump sum contribution from your bank account.

Fast-Setting Glue Guns
Saw Stand Accessories
Fast-Setting Glue Guns
When I was learning woodworking, many years ago, all power
tools had cords, and glue joints were clamped while drying.
Although I'm still a yellow-glue-and-clamps kind of carpenter,
I've tried to keep up with cordless tools and other modern
Two new glue guns recently caught my eye. The Weller Portasol
G200K (Weller Tools, 919/362-1670,
www.coopertools.com) is a cordless,
hot-melt glue gun, similar to the corded variety I've used to
hold tiny pieces of trim for pneumatic nailing. The HiPURformer
Advanced Bonding System (Titebond, 800/669-4583,
www.titebond.com) is a semi-corded,
electric glue gun that preheats in a separate base.
The butane-powered Portasol G200k is a new twist on the
traditional glue gun but uses traditional 1/2-inch glue sticks.
This professional tool has no cord and is shaped a lot like a
cordless drill, with similar dimensions. But, at 1.8 pounds, it
weighs considerably less. Instead of a battery in the grip, the
Portasol has a refillable, butane fuel tank. For testing, I
bought a 320-ml. can of butane (typically used to fill
Shaped like a cordless drill, the
Portasol G200K is a pro-duty, hot-melt glue gun. Powered by
butane, the high-temperature gun can melt the strongest glue
and run up to five hours on a fill-up.
Filling the gun was easy. Depressing an ignition button, after
turning on the gas valve, ignites the gun. A mild roar inside
the gun and a glowing "Ignition View" window confirm that the
gun is working. A thermostatic control cycles the gun off and
on as needed to maintain a 383°F working temperature,
reached in about four minutes. Among glue guns, 383°F is
on the high side of the temperature spectrum, allowing the use
of higher-strength glue sticks.
Various nozzles come with the kit, including a standard
applicator, a needle, a diagonal, and a spreader. The
supplemental nozzles install and remove easily with a 1/2-inch
wrench but, oddly, don't fit properly in the molded case. I
resorted to keeping them in a plastic sandwich bag instead. I
also had trouble stashing the 320-ml. fuel can in the case -- I
had to leave the cap off to make it fit and so had to place it
with its nozzle opposite the hinge to prevent it from leaking,
a dangerous situation. Next time, I'll buy a smaller canister.
The blow-molded case does accommodate about a dozen glue sticks
and holds the gun securely, even with a fresh, full-length glue
The manufacturer claims that this tool will melt glue at a
rate of 3 1/2 pounds per hour and will run up to five hours
without refueling. Although I didn't keep close track, the
claims seem reasonable. The instructions for use caution
against laying the gun on its side during operation; a foldout
stand built into the housing keeps it upright. The stand
operated easily and was reasonably sturdy.
Although its adhesive doesn't provide a permanent,
high-strength bond, this tool reached working temperature
quickly and functioned well at its intended use. Its merit lies
in its portability, but, at $160, portability doesn't come
cheap. Corded guns are comparatively inexpensive. Professional
models with detachable cords sell for about $40 -- I can use my
plug-in model for about five minutes unplugged.
Given the limited use of traditional hot-melt adhesives, I
can't justify the cost; but if portability is more valuable in
your work, you may be able to.
A smaller, more convenient version of industrial hot-melt,
polyurethane glue guns, the HiPURformer brings the virtues of
high-strength hot-melt adhesive to the job site. The gun is
scaled down to a dispenser that weighs less than a pound and,
with a 1.4-ounce cartridge installed, measures 14 inches long,
7 inches tall, and 2 inches wide.
Assembly work is where the HiPURformer
system really shines. The high-strength adhesive sets in as
little as 30 seconds, making clamps unnecessary. The joints are
strong, but the glue is expensive -- $8 for a 1.4-ounce
This gluing system is a collaboration between Steinel, a
German tool manufacturer, and Franklin International, maker of
Titebond wood glues. The whole system comes in a case slightly
larger than an old-style lunchbox.
There are three choices of glue for this tool: two for
woodworking and one multipurpose formula. The "fastest" glue
has a 30-second set time, is thinner than the others, and is
intended for general woodworking. The other woodworking glue
sets in 60 seconds and has a thicker, gap- filling quality. The
multipurpose glue has a 75-second set time and is formulated to
bond melamine, ceramics, metal, most plastics, marble, glass,
and brick. The manufacturer cautions against using it with
copper or copper-based alloys, like brass, however.
The glue is ready for use about 10 to 12 minutes after
plugging in the base station; an indicator lights when the
adhesive is ready. The gun is good for about 15 minutes of
remote use before needing to reheat.
Adhesive shelf life is listed as 12 months when the
polyurethane cartridges are left in their foil wrap, but they
should be used within four weeks after initial use. It's
important to keep the nozzle cap on during heating and after
use. I had good results following this recommendation,
restarting open tubes after a four-week break. But I've heard
complaints that some users have been unable to restart a
cartridge, even the next day. At $8 a cartridge, it isn't hard
to understand why reuse is desirable. I was careful to cap the
tube, disassemble the gun as it cooled, and generally baby the
tool, and I never had a problem.
A socket on the base station acts as a wrench for unscrewing
the cartridge cap (it gets hot). The cap can then be
transferred to a holder in the handle. The wrench worked well,
but the holder seemed a little weak.
I tested the manufacturer's claims of strength and ability to
eliminate clamps on a small drawer divider project, gluing
3/16-inch- and 3/8-inch-thick stock. Clamps would be too
cumbersome for such a project, making it an ideal test of the
adhesive and gun. Initially, I used too much glue and had to
remind myself not to wipe the hot excess away with my finger.
But, for this small project, hand pressure and a square block
for reference were all I needed.
Franklin claims that bonded materials can be machined or
planed after 1 hour; structural joints shouldn't be stressed
for 24 to 48 hours.
The gun is plastic, and at $100, one might expect it to be
sturdier. Most of the time it worked well for me, but I
occasionally had problems. It has to be heated thoroughly for
the plunger to work smoothly and consistently. I once neglected
to disassemble the gun while it cooled, and the plunger stuck
to the cartridge. If you're willing to baby the tool, it should
work for you. If you don't have the patience, you should
probably wait for the next generation.

Two-Way Laserby Gary Katz
With two separately rotating lasers on one tool -- one casting
a level line, and the other casting a plumb line -- the new
Toolz model RT-7690-2 self-leveling laser (Toolz, 800/984-0404,
www.robotoolz.com) is definitely out of the
ordinary. You can operate the laser functions separately or use
them together to cast a crosshair pattern.
Moving the laser and changing the beam
spread are easy with the intelligently designed remote
controldetector. But holding the detector horizontally
for horizontal lines takes some getting used to.
In brightly lit rooms or outdoors, dim laser lines hamper the
potential of rotating lasers. Although most makers provide
red-lens "beam-enhancement" glasses, they don't help much. A
good electronic detector is far more effective, and the RT-7690
includes one of the best remote detectors I've used. The
sensitive detector controls all functions of the tool after the
laser is activated. You can adjust the three rotating speeds,
change the six scan modes (150-degree chalkline, dot, and four
settings in between), and even rotate the dot or scan line to
precisely where you need it, all without assistance. The on/off
switch also acts as a pendulum lock, which protects the
sensitive instrumentation during transport.
Testing the tool against preset benchmarks, I found accuracy
to be within about 3/16 inch at 100 feet and 1/8 inch at 50
feet. Field calibration is easily done with a hex wrench;
calibrating the level-line laser automatically adjusts the
In general, the tool worked well; I was impressed with the
all-in-one remote controllaser detector. But I have a
complaint regarding the laser's out-of-level sensor: When the
laser is tilted to an angle that exceeds its capacity to self
level, it beeps and shuts down. However, if the laser is
accidentally bumped, but the tilt angle doesn't exceed the
tool's self-leveling range, the instrument restarts
automatically. The result may be a laser line that's off by
more than 1/8 inch from the original elevation, wreaking havoc
on your layout.
The laser base unit requires four D-cell batteries (an AC
adapter is available from the manufacturer); the remote
controldetector uses a 9-volt battery. The RT-7690-2
includes the laser with target-remote, a case, a rod bracket,
and enhancement glasses and sells for about $520 to
Saw Stand Accessoriesby Jeremy Hess
About a year ago, TracRac introduced its TracMaster aluminum
miter saw stand. Since then, the company has developed a couple
of new accessories meant to make the stand more versatile. I
recently had the opportunity to check these items out, testing
their practicality and performance on a couple of remodeling
Sturdy and low-tech, the heavy-duty
aluminum handle locks the router table to a TracMaster
miter-saw stand or to optional aluminum hardware that can be
mounted on a work bench or tailgate.
The aluminum TracMaster router table (TracRac, 800/501-1587,
www.tracrac.com) slides into the stand's
top rail and is secured by a sturdy, cam-type lock with a
heavy-duty handle. Mounting templates for the most popular
routers, plus a generic template for less popular routers, are
included in the package. Other than attaching the mounting
plate to my 2-hp Skil plunge router, no assembly was
The TracRac's wide stance and sturdy
legs give the router table stability. An integral, switched
outlet and 2-inch dust port make dust collection easier.
However, the table's unusually short power cord leaves a
connector or power strip dangling in the air.
Reference lines formed into the aluminum table are a good aid
to fence alignment. In addition to the table's ABS fence, an
aluminum auxiliary fence and various throat plates are included
with the kit, so you can use bits up to 2 3/4 inches wide
without making modifications. Plastic and aluminum seem like
sensible fence materials, considering the stand's portability
and potential exposure to humidity and temperature swings,
which could corrode or distort other materials. The clear
plastic guard covering the bit provides adequate protection but
keeps the line of sight clear and flips out of the way for bit
changes. A front-mounted remote switch makes starting and
stopping the router safe and convenient, eliminating blind
groping for the switch or trigger. An additional outlet is
energized by the power switch, which along with the integral
dust port molded into the fence, allows automatic dust
I tested the table on oak, pine, and poplar, using ogee,
round-over, and beading bits for shaping and straight bits for
dadoes. The fence held securely and TracMaster's wide footprint
provided good stability. The portability of this 20-pound table
gives the TracMaster a big advantage over other router tables.
At $179, it's priced only slightly higher than router tables
with less versatility.
Optional TracMount channels increase the
versatility of the accessories. The top-mounted TracMount
(above) can be mounted on a tailgate or sawhorse and is
included with the vise, or it can be purchased separately for
$34. The side-mounted TracMount ($58) provides a flush surface
that won't interfere with bench-top projects
The TracVise is an excellent job-site vise. Weighing under 10
pounds, the compact aluminum and stainless-steel vise is built
to take the weather. The 5 1/2-inch-capacity, smooth aluminum
jaws prevent marring of soft materials. Integral V-grooves in
the jaws will grip up to 2 1/2-inch-diameter pipe or dowel. At
$179, the vise could cause sticker shock to some, but this is
one well-made tool.
Lightweight and portable, both the router table and the vise
go from workshop to job site with ease and make smart additions
to the existing saw stand. When I tested saw stands (see
Stands," 8/02), I gave the TracRac's stand a lukewarm
review, but these accessories greatly increase its
Although both accessories are obviously targeted to TracMaster
miter-saw stand users, you don't have to own the stand to use
them. Optional TracMount hardware makes them available for

The prestigious Japanese tuner Wald International is working on Audi A7 these days, trying to enhance the appeal and swagger of the good-looking German saloon by giving it one of their classic Black Bison kits. Wald’s kits always stand out due to the unique design and the dark theme.
For the A7 Sportback, Wald proposes a revised front bumper with nicely-shaped intakes and chrome detailing, complete with a blacked-out grille – Audi emblem included. Then there is a pair of side skirts that play a major part in giving the car a bolder, more muscular presence, and then around at the back, we have a new diffuser and two pairs of new tailpipes. The diffusers could be a bit nicer, mind you, but it’ll do.
A set of large after market wheels, preferably in black, and you are good to go. Wald is still reluctant to do interiors or put together a power upgrade. they focus solely on the styling, which is probably why they are one of the best in their field.

Computer aided design and numerically controlled manufacture of a split mould for a composite model ship propeller , Southampton, UK University of Southampton 109pp.
(Ship Science Reports, 42).
A method is described of converting a standard table of offsets for a propeller design into a numerical description of the blade surface. This numerical surface description can then be used as a computer-aided design tool and also as a basis for producing data to drive a 3-axis numerically controlled (N.C.) machine tool for the manufacture of the blade or blade mould.
The report is divided into two main sections. The first section details the definition of the propeller numerical surface using quadratic parametric splines, and the elementary stress analysis and graphical output used in the development of a propeller design. The modified design was based on the Wageningen B4.40 propeller and was to be used for an investigation into ship propeller/rudder interactions. The second section covers the method by which the split female mould was N.C. machined for this modified propeller design.

Venezuelans are taking part in an unofficial referendum on government plans for a new assembly that could change the constitution.
Critics of the new assembly say it could herald dictatorship. Voters are also being asked if they want fresh elections before Socialist President Nicolas Maduro’s term ends in 2018.
Mr Maduro says the poll is not legitimate.
Nearly 100 people died in government-opposition unrest since April.
Opposition leader Henrique Capriles said on Friday that Venezuelans participating in the unofficial referendum would be voting for the country’s freedom.
The third question on the ballot paper asks voters if they want the armed forces to defend the current constitution.
Mr Maduro has called on Venezuelans to approve the constituent assembly in an official vote on 30 July, saying it was the only way to help Venezuela out of its economic and political crisis.
He has said that a new constitution would « neutralise » the opposition and defeat « coup-plotters » and thereby promote peace in Venezuela.
Opposition leaders fear that the process of setting up a new constituent assembly and rewriting the constitution would almost certainly delay this year’s regional elections and next year’s presidential election.
They also fear that the constituent assembly would further weaken the National Assembly, Venezuela’s opposition-controlled legislative body.
What’s happening in Venezuela?
Media captionYour video guide to the crisis gripping Venezuela
- The country is in a deep economic crisis, made worse by the falling price of oil, which accounts for about 95% of its export revenues and was used to finance some of the government’s generous social programmes. Forced to make cuts, President Nicolas Maduro has seen his support fall among core backers
- Also, as a result of the crisis, parts of Venezuela face severe shortages of basic supplies such as medicine and food
- The opposition accuses Mr Maduro of not only mismanaging the economy but also eroding the country’s democratic institutions
- In March, the Supreme Court decided it would take over the National Assembly. The decision was reversed, but Mr Maduro was accused by opponents of trying to stage a coup. That sparked almost daily protests calling for his resignation
- Meanwhile, Mr Maduro says the opposition is trying to overthrow his government illegally, and blames the country’s problems on an « economic war » being waged against him
