Who Is Responsible For A Dog Bite?
Who is responsible for a dog bite? Under Arizona law, an owner of a dog is strictly liable (absent provocation) for injuries his/her dog causes when the victim is on public property or is lawfully on private property. Arizona law defines an owner as “any person keeping an animal other than livestock for more than six consecutive days.” A.R.S. § 11-1001(10) . So what happens if the dog owners’ brother or friend is taking care of the dog for more than six days, does that make that the person the dog owner for purposes of the dog bite statute? The Arizona Court of appeals recently answered that question this past October. The Court held that in order for a person to meet the definition of “keeping” under the statute, that person must exercise care, custody and control over the dog and that merely housing a dog is not “keeping” under the statute.
The Court also found that it will always be a question of fact as to whether a person has exercised sufficient care, custody, or control to be a statutory owner of a dog will and will depend on the facts and circumstances of the particular case. Even if the victim cannot establish this meaning of keeping for purposes strict liability, the homeowner could still be found responsible if the victim can show the home owner knew the dog was dangerous and did nothing to protect the general public from the dog. This however is a much harder to prove than the strict liability under the dog bite statute.
So who is responsible for a dog bite? As you can see, as with many legal issues, that question is not always easily answered.

In a Swiss system tournament with 16 teams, each team will play up to three games in the group stage, but to qualify for the upper league playoffs, a team must win at least three matches. This could be achieved with a record of 3 wins and 0 losses, 3 wins and 1 loss, or 3 wins and 2 losses, depending on the outcomes of the team's matches.
The initial pairings will be determined randomly for the first round, and then teams will be paired against opponents with the same or similar records in subsequent rounds. This helps to ensure that teams are matched against opponents of similar skill levels throughout the event.
After the group stage, the top eight teams with the best records (including at least 3 wins) will advance to the upper league playoffs, while the bottom eight teams will play in the lower league playoffs. In the playoffs, teams will be matched against opponents with the same or similar records, based on their performance in the group stage. The group stage results will be used to determine the matchups in the playoffs to ensure fair and balanced competition.
The Swiss system is designed to provide a balanced and fair tournament experience, ensuring that teams are matched against opponents of similar skill levels throughout the event. This helps to prevent any one team from having an unfair advantage or disadvantage due to the luck of the draw.[/font]

I've been seeing these videos cropping up on other blogs. Here are the YouTubes featuring Peter Schiff that will remind you of how wrong a lot of conservative economists were. Peter Schiff seemed to have been dead-on right, in retrospect, over 2 years ago about where the economy would end up today:
Peter Schiff is also afraid that Obama will continuing down the same failed path that the Republicans went down, borrowing from countries like China, letting foreigners produce everything that we consume, and spending, spending, spending. He's predicting the collapse of the US dollar and warns against trying to spend our way out of this recesssion:
It's important to realize that Peter Schiff was one of Ron Paul's economic advisers and he wasn't the only one making the prediction. Back in 2006 Nouriel Roubini, an economics professor at New York University, made a similar prediction before an audience of economists at the International Monetary Fund. He predicted a housing bust, an oil shock, sharply declining consumer confidence and, ultimately, a deep recession.
As for me, well, I'm not yet ready to credit Schiff with too much and prefer to listen to Robert Reich and Paul Krugman. Krugman is, of course, advising just what Schiff fears -- spending lots and lots of money on public works projects, repairing highways and bridges, and getting jobs for people that way so they can spend money.
Krugman alludes to seeing ahead too:
A few months ago I found myself at a meeting of economists and finance officials, discussing — what else? — the crisis. There was a lot of soul-searching going on. One senior policy maker asked, “Why didn’t we see this coming?”
There was, of course, only one thing to say in reply, so I said it: “What do you mean ‘we,’ white man?”
But did Krugman ever express it as clearly as Schiff or Roubini did? I don't know, but if any readers can find what Krugman and Reich were saying back in 2006, then drop a link into my comments.
The Great Wealth Transfer ia an article from Paul Krugman for Rolling Stone which dates from 2006. It actually predicts a much larger problem not yet fully realized, but there is a vision of what was coming down the line today.

Tattoos have developed well in the United States. They began in the 17th and 18th centuries when the Pacific Group’s colonial scouts: Captain Zhanmusikuke was a pioneer of North American tattoos. He and other explorers first arrived in Tahiti, and then on other Pacific islands, local tattoos were present. The locals ‘tattoos were mainly based on lines and served as the identity and protection of family members.
In the 18th century, sailors brought Bosnia’s tattoos to the United Kingdom and brought back tattooed Bosnians. During the colonial period of the 17th century, tattoos were used as a symbol of barbarism. The real American tattoo began with the invention of the first electronic tattoo instrument in 1891. From the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, American tattoo customers came from all walks of life. Most come from the military, especially the Navy, which has been the best customer of tattoo artists for many years.
Since its development, tattoo culture has become one of the indispensable cultures in the United States. Skull represents death, but also represents a new beginning. It can also be understood as a change of fate in the pursuit of a new life. In some places, skull is also a symbol of power, the eternal life.

A new mouse study provides clues as to how the brain processes sensory information from internal organs, revealing feedback from organs activates different clusters of neurons in the brain stem.
Study reveals how lipids interact with grape tannins, masking the unfavorable taste of certain wine compounds and altering taste perception.
Study demonstrates the importance of a specific type of connection between neurons and may also explain how ketamine shows promise in treating depression.
Rats fed either a diet of soft or hard foods showed differences in jaw activity and muscle control when a chewing-related region of the brain was stimulated. Findings reveal the anterior cortical masticatory area strongly influences the regulation of chewing and is influenced by sensory input during development.
According to a new study, babies' brains respond not only to the presence of visual stimuli, but also the expectation of the stimuli.
An asymmetric coupling between the peripheral visual and olfactory sensory systems allows for enhanced steering response to discrete objects in mosquitos.
Single neurons conveying visual information about two separate objects in line of sight do so by alternating signals about one object or the other. However, when the two objects overlap, brain cells detect them as a single entity.
Researchers say the order in which your senses interact with food items impacts how much you enjoy your meal.

Fire on ‘ITV period drama’ set at Goodmayes Hospital
PUBLISHED: 13:29 29 October 2012 | UPDATED: 13:39 29 October 2012
(c) copyright citizenside.com
A small fire damaged part of a film set at Goodmayes Hospital on Tuesday.
Television crews are believed to be filming a Second World War period drama in the hospital’s disused Victorian buildings.
Ilford firefighters were called to the hospital in Barley Lane around 1pm on Tuesday and put out a small electrical fire started by equipment.
Officers at the scene said a small part of the set received minor damage. No one was injured.
Dharam Sahdev, of The Crescent, Gants Hill, was killing time before an appointment when he saw film crews in the hospital car park.
He said: “It was an unusual scene so I asked the people what was going on and they said it was a World War Two period drama for ITV.
“I didn’t see any actors but they had vans for food and costumes.”
A spokesman for the North East London NHS Foundation Trust said patient care was not affected by the filming.
As reported in last week’s Recorder, the original Victorian buildings no longer house patients and may be sold off for residential development.
ITV have not confirmed if they are filming on the site.

Families with less than 25000 dollars monthly income are at greater risk in the pandemic, said Ambassador Deborah Birx, in the International COVID Conference happening today.
The whole day virtual conference, organized by International AIDS Society and sponsored by Gilead, brings the who’s who of the scientific fraternity, public health experts, economists, and administrators in order to discuss the ways of tackling the pandemic
In a session titled “Making Sense of the Science” 3 scientists including Professor Salim Abdool Karim from APRISA, South Africa, Dr. Anthony Fauci from National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases, US, National Institute of Health and Ambassador Deborah of Pepfar highlighted several ways we can deal with the situation.
Underlining the necessity of community-centric pool testing, Ambassador Deborah showed how specific communities and people with comorbidities is driving the pandemic
4 STATES ACCOUNT FOR 50% OF THE CASES IN THE US, SAYS AMBASSADOR DEBORAH.
Florida, Texas and other southern states are the worst hit.
The reason behind this is the demographic predominance of comorbidities like obesity and diabetes in the Southern states.
THE KEY TO DEAL WITH THIS IS TRANSITIONING FROM INSTITUTIONAL ACTION TO COMMUNITY ACTION,SAYS DR. KARIM
Professor Karim underlined how churches, coupled with activists and community centres played a crucial role in containing AIDS in South Africa. The same community wise mass movement is needed especially in the severely affected communities
You can check the full guideline in this paper https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/expert-us-panel-develops-nih-treatment-guidelines-covid-19
Moving Businesses Outdoor
On the business front, the scientists stressed the need for easing lockdown. Professor Karim said lockdown is crucial but it can’t go on forever.
BEFORE LOCKDOWN CASES DOUBLED IN EVERY 2 DAYS IN SOUTH AFRICA, WHICH DECLINED TO 15DAYS UNDER THE LOCKDOWN AND 12DAYS AFTER LOCKDOWN EASED, SAYS PROFESSOR KARIM
So, despite rising cases, lockdown had worked, and easing restrictions is crucial.
WHAT LOCKDOWN HAS DONE IS LOWERING SEVERE CASES, GIVING US TIME TO TEST THE ASYMPTOMATIC.
Karim also outlined how lockdown posed a problem for low-income families who couldn’t reach healthcare facilities in time.
So, as we enter the next phase of the pandemic, with more than 12 million people affected worldwide, the strategy is to return to normal life powered by science.
OUR STRATEGY SHOULD BE COMMUNITY ACTION, MULTIPLE DRUG VACCINE TREATMENT, AND MINIMIZING INDOOR ACTIVITIES.
Restaurants should limit indoor sitting, outdoor sitting with proper social distancing is the way to go, says Ambassador Deborah
Any kind of gathering and meetings should move outdoors or at least be done in a well-ventilated surrounding with fewer people.
WHO Director General, Tedros Adhanom said that other diseases or on the rise as supply chains are being affected and countries aren’t getting adequate medical supplies. He further highlighted how health is treated as a cost rather than being an investment. He urged all countries to ensure proper medical supplies. As many as 73 nations are fighting with shortages of medicines, vaccines and preventive measure equipment while several others are affected.
Multiple Shot Treatment
Dr. Fauci said that the government has tied up with several companies so that we can manufacture billions of doses of multiple vaccines and drugs. It’s just like AIDS and tuberculosis where you need a cocktail of drugs to treat the disease.
A single medicine or vaccine isn’t a cure. The point is to treat you with multiple medicines and vaccines. The US is using its trial facilities to scale up these large scale trials and production.

Observation of the presidential election is carried out by the Belarusian Helsinki Committee and the Human Rights Center “Viasna” in the framework of the campaign “Human Rights Defenders for Free Elections”.
- the 2020 presidential election in Belarus was announced against the background of an adverse geopolitical situation in the region, and in the conditions of certain progress in the relations between Belarus, the EU and the U.S.;
- the election was preceded by the process of negotiations between the leaders of Belarus and Russia on the ratification of the so-called “roadmaps for advanced integration”, which caused a crisis in relations between the two countries, hampered by problems with Russian oil and gas supplies to Belarus;
- the election is taking place against the background of the coronavirus pandemic, which is a serious challenge carrying enormous risks for lives of both the direct participants in the electoral process and other citizens of the country as a whole;
- the authorities have disregarded the WHO recommendations to take measures to minimize the spread of the pandemic in the country: no quarantine has been officially introduced, many public gatherings have not been banned, including sports events, the nation-wide social labor day and the military parade on May 9;
- proposals to amend electoral procedures aimed at minimizing the risks of the coronavirus disease during the election were ignored by the Parliament, the Central Election Commission and the Supreme Court. The proposals were prepared by experts of the campaign “Human Rights Defenders for Free Elections”;
- in the period leading up to the election, the authorities failed to demonstrate significant progress and systemic changes aimed at improving the human rights situation in the country. Basic civil and political freedoms are still hampered by significant legislative restrictions. Human rights activists report numerous facts of human rights violations; four people were called political prisoners;
- the authorities have not taken steps to implement the OSCE ODIHR recommendations made following the observation of the previous presidential election in 2015, as well as last year's parliamentary elections;
- the general human rights situation deteriorated shortly before the election. Between May 7 and 9, police arrested more than 120 people who took part in peaceful assemblies in various cities of Belarus. Of these, more than 50 were sentenced to short terms of detention for participating in unauthorized rallies, and 20 more were fined. Among them were journalists and human rights activists, including members of the Human Rights Center “Viasna”. These events provoked a negative reaction from international human rights and journalistic organizations, as well as the OSCE and the EU;
- 55 people applied to the CEC to request the registration of their nomination groups. At the moment, 11 applications are known to have been rejected.

Dementia is a heartbreaking condition that affects millions of people worldwide, with the elderly being the most vulnerable. Sadly, West Chester, PA is not immune to this epidemic. As the prevalence of dementia continues to rise, healthcare professionals are turning to innovative solutions to diagnose, manage, and treat the disease. Enter cognitive assessment tools.
Cognitive assessment tools are a game-changer in dementia care, providing a host of benefits for patients and healthcare providers alike. Early detection of cognitive decline is critical to developing personalized care plans, slowing disease progression, and improving patients’ quality of life. By monitoring cognitive decline over time, healthcare providers can adjust treatment plans accordingly, ensuring patients receive the best possible care.
Cognitive assessment tools have revolutionized dementia care by providing accurate diagnoses of cognitive impairment, which is essential for developing effective treatment plans. By identifying the type and severity of cognitive impairment, healthcare providers can develop a personalized and comprehensive care plan that addresses specific symptoms, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.
What are cognitive assessment tools?
Cognitive assessment tools are game-changing tests that evaluate a person’s cognitive abilities, including memory, attention, language, and executive function. Widely used in clinical settings, these powerful assessments are vital for diagnosing and monitoring cognitive impairment, particularly in patients with dementia. Administered by healthcare professionals, these tests take various forms, from questionnaires to puzzles and timed activities, and play a critical role in the early detection of cognitive decline. They provide healthcare providers with a clear understanding of the type and severity of cognitive impairment, enabling them to develop effective treatment plans that address specific symptoms.
Moreover, cognitive assessment tools are also useful in distinguishing between different types of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Accurately identifying the type of dementia allows healthcare providers to prescribe appropriate medications, therapies, and lifestyle changes that slow the progression of the disease and improve patient outcomes.
Common cognitive assessment tools used in dementia care in West Chester, PA:
- The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE): The MMSE is a widely recognized cognitive assessment tool that healthcare professionals use to quickly and easily assess an individual’s cognitive abilities. Using a series of questions, the MMSE evaluates orientation, attention, memory, language, and visual-spatial abilities, making it a comprehensive and practical tool for dementia care.
- The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA): The MoCA is a state-of-the-art cognitive assessment tool that evaluates a broad range of cognitive abilities beyond what the MMSE can measure. With 30 questions, it assesses attention, memory, language, visuospatial abilities, and executive function, providing a sensitive tool for detecting mild cognitive impairment and facilitating early detection of dementia.
- The Clock Drawing Test (CDT) is an ingenious non-verbal cognitive assessment tool that can provide valuable insights into an individual’s visual-spatial abilities and executive function. By asking the patient to draw a clock face from memory, healthcare providers can swiftly evaluate cognitive function and identify any potential issues. Its simplicity belies its effectiveness, making the CDT an essential tool in any comprehensive dementia care evaluation.
- The Mini-Cog: The Mini-Cog is a game-changing cognitive assessment tool that enables healthcare providers to quickly and accurately assess an individual’s memory and executive function. The Mini-Cog employs a combination of a three-item recall task and a clock-drawing task, allowing primary care providers to gain valuable insights into cognitive function within minutes. By detecting early signs of cognitive decline, the Mini-Cog can help healthcare providers develop tailored care plans that promote better patient outcomes, increasing the chances of maintaining independence and a higher quality of life. Its practicality and efficiency make the Mini-Cog an indispensable tool in dementia care evaluation.
Benefits of cognitive assessment tools in dementia care:
- Early detection: Cognitive assessment tools play a critical role in detecting cognitive impairment at its earliest stages, enabling healthcare providers to intervene and manage the condition promptly. Early detection leads to better outcomes, as patients can receive appropriate treatment before their cognitive impairment progresses, and healthcare providers can develop personalized care plans tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
- Precise diagnosis: Cognitive assessment tools offer a critical advantage in providing accurate and objective information about a patient’s cognitive abilities. By evaluating a range of cognitive domains, from attention and memory to language and visuospatial abilities, healthcare providers can precisely diagnose dementia and other cognitive impairments. This precise diagnosis is crucial for developing tailored treatment plans that address the patient’s unique needs and facilitate better patient outcomes. With cognitive assessment tools, healthcare providers can approach dementia care with greater precision and effectiveness, empowering patients with the care they deserve.
- Monitoring cognitive decline: Cognitive assessment tools enable healthcare providers to closely monitor the progression of cognitive impairment over time, providing valuable insights that inform decisions about the patient’s care. By tracking cognitive decline, healthcare providers can adjust treatment plans as needed and ensure patients receive the best possible care at every stage of their dementia journey. This ongoing monitoring is critical for improving patient outcomes and enhancing their quality of life.
- Personalized care plans: Cognitive assessment tools facilitate early detection and accurate diagnosis of cognitive impairment, allowing healthcare providers to develop personalized care plans that cater to the patient’s specific needs. These plans are based on objective and precise information gathered through cognitive assessment, ensuring that patients receive targeted care that addresses their unique challenges. With effective treatment plans, patients can enjoy a better quality of life and greater independence, slowing the progression of cognitive decline and improving overall outcomes. This ensures that patients receive the best possible care, empowering them to live fulfilling lives despite their condition.
Some of the most common cognitive assessment tools used in dementia care in West Chester, PA include the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and Clock Drawing Test. Each test has its unique strengths and weaknesses, and healthcare providers will choose the most appropriate test depending on the patient’s specific needs.

PIERRE, S.D. (KELO) — Based on estimates shared by Gov. Kristi Noem Monday morning the equivalent of nearly the entire population of Sioux Falls and Rapid City could get COVID-19.
Noem said at Monday morning’s news conference that up to 30% of South Dakotans could get COVID-19. That’s roughly 265,398 of the state’s 884,659 residents.
The 2020 estimated population of Sioux Falls is 190,750 and 76,000 for Rapid City.
The state has 28 positive cases which include one death with 762 negative tests and 265 pending tests, according to the South Dakota Department of Health. Noem said the virus may not peak with cases until May or June in the state.
Of the 30%, or 265,398, of South Dakotans who could get COVID-19, about 80% would have mild symptoms or have no symptoms, Noem said. At 80%, about 212,318 South Dakotans would have mild or no symptoms.
The World Health Organization says that about 80% of people recover from the disease without needing special treatment.
But what about the 20% of of the 265,398, who get COVID-19? That’s 53,000 people.
The older the person, the more the risk of serious illness and hospitalization increases. The risk of serious illness and hospitalization also increases for those of any age with underlying medical conditions, according to the Center for Disease Control and WHO.
About 1 out of 6 people who get COVID-19 become seriously ill and develop difficulty breathing, according to the WHO. That’s about 17%.
About 31 to 70% of adults 85 and over with COVID-19 and 31 to 59% of adults 65 to 84 with COVID-19 will require hospitalization, according to the CDC. Intensive Care Unit hospitalization will be required for 6 to 29% of those 85 and over and 11 to 31% for those 65 to 84, according to the CDC.

'Chase and Run' Cell Movement Mechanism Explains Metastasis
News Jun 20, 2013
Published in Nature Cell Biology, the new study focuses on the process that occurs when cancer cells interact with healthy cells in order to migrate around the body during metastasis. Scientists know that cancer cells recruit healthy cells and use them to travel long distances, but how this process takes place and how it could be controlled to design new therapies against cancer remains unknown.
Now, using embryonic cells called 'neural crest cells' (which are similar to cancer cells in term of their invasive behaviour) and placode cells which are the precursors for cranial nerves (the equivalent to healthy cells) researchers at UCL have started to unravel this process.
They have found that when neural crest cells are put next to placode cells they undergo a dramatic transformation and start 'chasing' the placode cells. At the same time placode cells exhibite 'escape' behaviour when contacted by neural crest cells. The chasing behavior depends on the production of small chemical molecules by the placode cells that attracts neural crest cells toward them.
The authors of the study are confident that the process whereby cancer cells attached to healthy cells in order to migrate around the body is comparable. Healthy cells of the body try to escape from tumor cells, but are followed by malignant cells because the healthy cells produce an attractant for the cancer cells.
Dr Roberto Mayor, UCL Department of Cell and Developmental Biology and lead author of the research, said: "We use the analogy of the donkey and the carrot to explain this behaviour: the donkey follows the carrot, but the carrot moves away when approached by the donkey. Similarly the neural crest cells follow the placode cells, but placode cells move away when touched by neural crest cells."
"The findings suggest an alternative way in which cancer treatments might work in the future if therapies can be targeted at the process of interaction between malignant and healthy cells to stop cancer cells from spreading and causing secondary tumours."
He added: "Most cancer deaths are not due to the formation of the primary tumor, instead people die from secondary tumors originating from the first malignant cells, which are able to travel and colonize vital organs of the body such as the lungs or the brain."

UAE to now enforce rulings by UK courts
The choice by the Ministry of Justice will certainly cover monetary instances as well as possession department disagreements in between pairs or member of the family
Adhering to a choice by the UAE’s Ministry of Justice, reasonings released by English courts will certainly currently be applied in the nation.
A resolution released on September 13 by the International Participation Division of the Ministry of Justice demands courts in the nation to take all the lawful actions needed to recognize as well as impose orders by English courts.
” If a British deportee ran away the UK to prevent applying a court choice, they might see the judgment versus them being applied below in the UAE,” claimed Dr Hasan Elhais from Al Rowaad Supporters.
The choice covers monetary instances as well as possession department disagreements in between pairs or member of the family. Prior to being sent to a court at one of the nation’s civil courts, an English court judgment have to be last as well as unalterable.
This choice might indicate a couple of obstacles, nonetheless– among which would certainly be safeguarding the enforcement of a UK court judgment if the individual versus whom the situation was being submitted remained in the UAE on a house visa at the time.
In this situation, UAE courts might be the authority of territory, as well as the situation might have been submitted in among the UAE’s pertinent courts, Dr Elhais discussed.
He included that of the needs to impose an international court’s order is that UAE courts do not have territory in the event or disagreement. In order for UK judgments to be performed in the nation, they have to not remain in problem with a reasoning released by any type of UAE court.
” This notes a massive action in maintaining the concepts of reciprocity– [particularly] taking into consideration that a previous treaty authorized in between both nations did not consist of enforcement of reasonings released by UK courts,” claimed Elhais.
He claimed the UAE– UK Treaty on judicial help does not have any type of arrangement pertaining to the enforcement of one nation’s court reasonings in the various other nation.
” The choice suggests that UAE’s Civil Treatment Rules regulation does not need a treaty remain in area for the enforcement of international court reasonings,” he included.

Thirty years ago in May, Philip Johnson was awarded the first Pritzker Prize, an honor often called—need I say it?—the Nobel of architecture. But which Nobel? The prize for literature, a solitary pursuit? Or peace, which sometimes goes to individuals, but just as often to organizations?
It’s an important question, because it gets to the heart of the problem plaguing the Pritzker. The prize, worth $100,000, is narrowly constructed to recognize the singular genius of the designing mind—so narrowly that in 1991 it went to Robert Venturi but not his partner Denise Scott Brown, with an explanation that the prize could only go to one person.
Presumably this glitch was fixed by 2001, when it went to Pierre Herzog and Jacques de Meuron. But the fact remains that by highlighting a single architect—rather than a team, or a building—the prize grossly distorts the reality of the architectural endeavor. As the country goes through all sorts of economic and social tumult, architecture should clean house, too, starting with the Pritzker.
The prize’s well-intentioned namesake, the late hotel mogul Jay Pritzker, believed, according to his son, “that a meaningful prize would encourage and stimulate not only a greater public awareness of buildings, but also would inspire greater creativity within the architectural profession.”
But what do those goals mean? In a way, architecture is perfectly, even banally, visible. We live in houses and work in office buildings. Granted, that’s not what Pritzker meant. He meant architecture as a practice and an art—though more the latter than the former. No points for building a successful firm; what counts in the Pritzker race is aesthetic vision. Picasso was a great and famous painter, but Álvaro Siza, a great architect, is hardly known outside the profession. The Pritzker tries to rectify that (not that it always works—sorry, Sverre Fehn).
Is this the right way to look at architecture? According to the Pritzker (and its older cousins, the AIA Gold Medal and the Royal Institute of British Architects’ Gold Medal), architectural excellence is one and the same as individual vision. But is it? Especially today, architecture is a collaborative undertaking; we maintain a collective illusion when we say the name on the front door is also the wellspring of a firm’s ideas. Some firms recognize this, which is why we have UNStudio instead of van Berkel & Bos.
Moreover, by treating architectural excellence strictly as a question of vision, we make architecture an end in itself, like art, when it’s just as much a means to an end. We don’t just build structures to look at, but to live in and use, and that utilitarian function brings with it a slew of social and moral questions that a narrow focus on aesthetics so often avoids.
Yet the Pritzker—and, let’s be honest, most of the profession—draws no distinction between luxury condos and homeless shelters. And because high-rent condo projects pay better, that’s where the talent, and the recognition, go. Which is the real tragedy of the Pritzker. It’s an award with a big name and a lot of money behind it, but instead of correcting for architecture’s flaws, it reinforces them.
Compare it with three other prizes. The Aga Khan Award goes to buildings, not architects, and to qualify, a structure has to be at least three years old, so judges can evaluate how well it functions. The premium is on utility and strength as much as beauty.
Or consider the Vincent Scully Prize, which sometimes goes to architects but more often to teachers and activists and emphasizes scholarship, preservation, and advocacy. It places architecture within a social and moral context, and it recognizes that shaping the built environment is about more than crafting pretty objects. And there’s the AIA Firm Award, which honors a firm’s collaborative skills as much as its final products.
Unlike its 20th anniversary—accompanied by books, galas, and exhibits—things are pretty subdued on the Pritzker’s 30th. The economy is down, architects are going jobless, and everyone is reflecting on why they got involved in the field in the first place. There’s a real opportunity to reorient architecture toward more humane, socially engaged goals. Getting rid of the Pritzker—at least as we know it today—would be a good start.

Monetary Policy Operations and the Financial System (Hardback)Ulrich Bindseil (author)
- We can order this from the publisher
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Number of pages: 338
Weight: 654 g
Dimensions: 240 x 173 x 26 mm
For a long time, monetary policy operations used to be a rather boring subject. But since 2007, central banks worldwide had to engage in a wide range of unconventional policy measures which are hard to understand and evaluate for non-experts. Written by the person in charge of monetary policy operations at the ECB, this book provides an excellent account of the conduct of monetary policy during times of crises. It introduces the basic theoretical models needed to understand the driving forces behind liquidity crises and outlines adequate policy responses. At the same time, it carefully addresses the risks involved in these measures. The interaction between monetary policy and financial stability being of key relevance for the next decades, this book comes just at the right time. It provides invaluable insights both in the theory and the practice of non-conventional monetary policy. * Gerhard Illing, Professor at LMU University of Munich *
Any monetary economist, central banker, or central bank watcher should read this. If only a treatise like this had been available when I joined the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England: rigorous, aware of historical and institutional realities, and directly and operationally policy-relevant. * Willem H. Buiter, Ph.D., Global Chief Economist, Citi *
Ulrich Bindseil's book provides a consistent framework to understand central bank action, including the related trade-offs and dilemmas. It is both principle-based and deeply rooted in the ECB experience in the European crisis. It is a must read for central bankers, in sunny and in rainy days. * Benoit Coeure, member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank *

Lalit Modi recently revealed his relationship with Sushmita Sen (Photo Credits: Instagram/lalitkmodi)
Last week there were some interesting developments both domestic and international.
While the U.S retail inflation became the talk of the financial markets globally, an interesting picture became a prime Page 3 discussion point not just in India but possibly everywhere Indians live.
The picture in question was a tweet from Lalit Modi, the former commissioner of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
What caught everyone’s attention was the presence of Sushmita Sen, a former Miss Universe and actor in the picture. Modi, however, cautioned his lakhs of followers on social media that he hadn’t tied the knot with the former Miss Universe.
The Court Case
While the former IPL commissioner is undoubtedly having moments of bliss with Ms Sen, in other more worldly matters, Modi wants the estate of his late father, KK Modi, the man who owned numerous businesses but built a fortune in the tobacco industry courtesy Godfrey Phillip Limited (GPL), to be sold.
Lets talk about what exactly is the issue with GPL and other KK Modi assets. Remember, KK Modi passed away in November 2019, but prior to his demise, he executed a trust deed with himself being the settlor or managing trustee, while Bina (his wife), Lalit, Charu and Samir (sons and daughter) were named as the trustees. An oral family settlement was in place since February 2010.
However Lalit Modi’s contention has been that there is lack of unanimity among the trustees and hence the assets of the trust should be sold and the proceeds distributed among the trustees. This was the subject matter based on which he approached the Singapore International Arbitration Centre.
What exactly is GPL?
Do remember GPL is no pushover. It is the second largest in terms of market capitalisation in the organised Indian cigarette market and was worth ₹5,605 crore (based on July 15 stock price) though it clearly pales in comparison to the big daddy, ITC, which towers with a market capitalisation of ₹3.62 lakh crore!
The smallest is VST Industries (in which ITC is also a shareholder) with a market capitalisation of ₹3,076 crore. Though GPL had only ₹854 crore of consolidated net sales in the January-March 2022 quarter it is clearly a crown jewel for the family of late KK Modi.
The SC Order
In fact it was Lalit Modi who approached the Supreme Court appealing against the division bench order of the Delhi High Court which had ruled in favour of Bina Modi, Lalit’s mother. The mother had opposed Lalit Modi’s plan to approach the Singapore International Arbitration Centre to seek settlement of the estate of late KK Modi.
The Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice NV Ramana approved the names of former SC judges, Vikramjit Sen and Kurian Joseph to be mediators between Lalit and his mother, Bina.
Bina Modi is backed by her daughter, Charu and son, Samir.
The 2020 issue
But the SC order came only in December 2021, though in November 2020 there was high drama when Ruchir Modi, Lalit Modi’s son went public seeking a probe by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office or SFIO into the affairs of GPL.
Ruchir also said that his grandmother, Bina, continued to head the company although the shareholders of the company had rejected a resolution seeking her appointment.
The SC case
While a two-member team of former SC judges mediate to amicably resolve the tussle on the KK Modi trust involving Bina Modi and her kids on the one side and Lalit Modi on the other, the SC has barred the two sides from talking to the media or airing their views in public. It remains to be seen how the matter will be resolved as literally millions of dollars are at stake.

Scientists studying the effects of so-called Global Warming have said that the Earth may become so hot, that it will be impossible to stand on its surface in bare feet.
The claim, made in an article in the monthly science journal Hubble Bubble Toil & Trouble, has been made by the team of Professor Zebulon Zirconis, a lecturer in Hokus Pokus at the University of Wichita Lineman.
"Globe warming", says Prof. Zirconis, "is a very dangerous thing to be doing, and we would be foolish to warm it any more. That would be asking for trouble."
In the article, he goes on to highlight the dangers of utilising the world's resources in such wasteful ways as he says we are doing at the moment.
"Leaving a light bulb on for a year (in scientific terms a 'light year') uses enough energy to leave a second light bulb on for exactly the same amount of time. It's scandalous!", he writes.
"What with increasing carbon emissions and all that crap, the surface of the Earth will be unbearably hot, and special protective footwear will be needed to walk on it."
Prof. Zirconis and his team of nutters have now abandoned their studies, and, in his workshop (The Kitchen) in the kitchen of his home in Eureka, have started to develop the 'wonder shoes' that will be required to deal with the planet's extreme heat.
Although the team have attracted criticism after it was revealed that the development process was creating millions of tonnes of CO2 waste, the mad Professor was unrepentant:
"If you can't stand the heat, get out of The Kitchen!", he laughed.


The first true production Ducati “cafè racer”, it is an evolution of Italy’s – and the world’s – best loved racing motorcycles from Ducati.
The basic design that has made the Ducati Monster such a huge year-after-year success has been retained, but now – for the first time in the history of this motorcycle and after ten years of undisputed leadership – every aspect of the S4R has been given a decidedly aggressive look.
The most important developments regard the set-up and the engine, now equipped with the championship-winning, electronic injection, water-cooled Ducati 996 engine.
New Ducati 996 engine – New exhausts – New high mufflers “two in one in two” – Aluminum muffler cover – Aluminum exhaust cover – New aluminum single-sided rear swinging arm – New Showa fully adjustable rear shock absorber – New fully adjustable Showa front fork with TIN (titanium nitride treatment) – New mirrors – New separately forged rider and passenger foot-rests – New aluminum stand – Front mudguard, side panels, radiator cover, belt covers in carbon – Oil radiator – New rear disc 245 x 6 – Variable cross-section aluminum handlebar – New lighter steering head – Electronic instruments with new racing design.
The Ducati Monster S4R thanks to 113 HP, 12 more than the S4, is the most powerful Monster Ducati ever made! A bike that is unbeatable on a fast blend of curves, thus giving you a bike that is perfect for every road and track situation.
The introduction of the 996 eight-valve water-cooled desmodromic engine, a derivative of the 996 racing engine, makes the S4R a motorcycle for riders with extensive motorcycling experience.
The set-up has been improved considerably, both in absolute terms and with respect to the previous version. The mechanical component that stands out the most, enhanced by a unique design inspired by the MH evolution, is the single-sided aluminum rear swinging arm: a solution that is sure to be big hit with fans of the Monster concept.
Other elements which highlight just how attentive Ducati is to set-up are the fully adjustable front Showa fork with TIN (titanium nitride treatment), and the rear shock absorber. Changes in this area regard the rear braking system, which features a modified disc brake, the thickness of which has been increased from 5 mm to 6 mm.
As requested by Monster owners themselves, the S4R has a riding position that abandons the semi-handlebar solution derived from the ST and now features an elegant, practical, variable cross-section aluminum handlebar. Thanks to the new, separate rider-passenger foot-rests, the new stand and the new exhausts, ground clearance has been increased so that the rider can lean into the bend at even more extreme angles. The foot-rests have not only been repositioned: they are narrower too, thus reducing the front cross-section of the Monster S4R. The mirrors have also been re-designed.
The multi-functional electronic dashboard has been given a new racing-look design with black-and-white background. The digital display allows the rider to switch from water temperature to clock at the touch of a button, even when riding.
The rider can also adjust the intensity of dashboard illumination should it bother him/her during night riding and the display is programmed to inform the rider when it is time to have the motorcycle serviced. The partial and total odometers are of the liquid crystal type and the immobilizer, fitted as standard, is integrated into the dashboard with an automatic default setting.

Director Sun Chung was the first Shaw Brothers’ director to use the Steadicam and in the mid-70s was one of the most productive directors Shaw Brothers ever had. His action films had strong tension, snappy editing and slow motion, the things that influenced up and coming martial arts director John Woo. Sun Chung joins forces with kung-fu comedian Wong Yue, a ballistic kid on a mission to clear his father's name, in The Kid with a Tattoo which also features plentiful ripsnorting martial arts at the hands of Liu Chia-liang's 10-year, exceptionally creative, choreographer partner Tang Chia. Jackie Chan's long time kung-fu classmates Yuen Hua and Yuan Pin along with best martial arts fighting villain Wang Lung-wei, add wickedly wild altercations to the melees of death.

The difference between intuition and psychic development
Like so many words, the word “intuition” is used differently by different people. One way of looking at the intuition is as the “voice” of the Divine Spirit within manifesting through the mind – the highest part of ourselves “speaking” to us. As such, the intuition is inherently spiritual in nature – whereas psychic powers are not necessarily spiritual at all.
Viewed in this light, the intuition is the most valuable faculty we have, because it is through intuition that we recognize spiritual truth. It is intuition above all which will tell you whether or not the content of this website is true. The difficult part is “hearing” the intuition, amidst the din of worldly clamor we fill our minds with every day. And once heard, the intuition has to be recognized for what it is. All too often people mistake what they want to be true for the voice of intuition telling them that it is true.
Here is a video of student instantly becoming Clairvoyant with a Psychic Attunement
Intuition and psychic development Everyone can be psychic with the School Of Universal Core Healing
Psychic and intuitive abilities, like the ability to give spiritual healing, should not be regarded as the gift of the few – they are the birthright of everyone on Earth. These abilities are latent within us all – and intuition and psychic development can occur through spiritual practices, such as yoga breathing and mantra, and by various forms of service to others, such as prayer and spiritual healing.
Certain techniques are specifically oriented towards developing these abilities, while others are oriented towards some other goal, but nevertheless result in psychic and intuitive development, as a side effect, so to speak. For example, if you practice yoga breathing very intensely over a long period of time, with a view to gaining enlightenment, with no interest whatsoever in psychic abilities, you will nevertheless become psychic as a result. more info

Now you can literally fill an entire library with information on the chakras, but for the purpose of this book we will only briefly describe them. Chakras are spinning wheels of energy generators inside of our bodies. We cannot see them because they are on a different higher finer vibrational scale. Unless you are a very good clairvoyant you cannot see them. It takes developing your clairvoyant skills to a very high level to see them.

The aura, chakras and kundalini
Psychic development, The Aura, and Kundalini with the School of Universal Core Healing. Explains our celestial body and how it works. We all have an aura – whether we can see it or feel it or not. The aura is made of a more “subtle” substance than is the physical body, but this does not make it any the less real, or in fact any the less physical – it is simply physical in a different way. The aura is affected by all kinds of things: the way we think, who we talk to, our environment and so on.
A skilled psychic, or clairvoyant, can see the aura, and tell a lot about a person from what they see. But even people who do not consider themselves remotely psychic can sometimes sense what a person is like by tuning in to the person’s aura instinctively. More info schoolofuniversalcorehealing.com

What is Hip Dysplasia?
The hip joint is made up of a ball and socket; the femoral head of the thigh bone (femur) is the ball and the acetabulum of the pelvis is the socket. Loose ligaments around the joint can allow for misalignment of varying degrees to occur. The hip joint is classified as displaced when the ball and socket do not fit together in their 'normal' position. Sometimes this is due to abnormal development and/or lack of growth.

Mushroom Stroganoff over Fettuccine
This hearty stroganoff is made with seitan, a fat-free, high-protein meat alternative made from wheat. Seitan is sometimes called “wheat meat” because of its amazing ability to mimic meat in taste and texture. It is sold in the refrigerated section of natural food stores and many large grocery stores.
1 1/2 cups plus 2 T water
1 small onion, diced
1 lb cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
6-8 garlic cloves, minced
8-12 oz seitan, cut into strips or small pieces*
1 cup roasted red bell peppers, chopped
3 T unsalted tomato paste
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 cup raw cashews
1 1/2 cups cooked or canned white beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup bean cooking liquid, water, or vegetable broth
2 T red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
2 tsp soy sauce
12 oz fettuccine
Heat 1/2 cup of the water in a large nonstick skillet. Add the onion and cook and stir over high heat for about 5 minutes, until translucent.
Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the mushrooms, garlic, and 2 more tablespoons of the water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the seitan, bell peppers, tomato paste, paprika, and pepper. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
Combine the cashews and the remaining cup of water in a blender. Process on high speed until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the beans and the bean cooking liquid and process on high for about 1 minute, until completely smooth. Pour into the skillet with the mushrooms. Add the vinegar and soy sauce and stir until evenly mixed. Heat gently, adding additional water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, to achieve the desired consistency.
Cook the fettuccine in boiling water until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water. Top with the mushroom mixture and serve immediately.
Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Mushroom Stroganoff over Fettuccine will keep for up to 2 days.

The Sport, Leisure and Public Services Curriculum Area is a strong department within the college and has a highly committed team of 9 staff who have a vast array of experience both within education and the Public Services and Leisure industry. Both Public Services and Sport offer BTEC qualifications, at levels 2 and 3. These courses use a mixture of theoretical and practical approaches. All BTEC Sport students also complete the CSLA course as part of their BTEC.
Liaison and enrichment opportunities are an integral part of this curriculum area, with excellent links established with local feeder schools, the Gosport School Sport Partnership and the uniformed services. Trips, visits and helping run local sports festivals play an important part of enhancing the students’ experience. The resources for the BTEC Sport and Public Services courses are excellent, and include 3 sports hall spaces, an ATP, netball courts, football pitches and a newly-refurbished fitness suite, new sport-based IT rooms and an 85sqm climbing wall. We have a strong commitment to the use of interactive IT and therefore we make good use of Moodle, IPads and an Apple TV in our lessons.
All staff are encouraged to participate in regular training updates and attend local curriculum network groups, both at pre- and post-16 to share good practice and keep abreast of changes in specialisms. We have excellent links with our feeder schools and regularly go into the schools to help deliver some of their BTEC Sport programme.
St Vincent College has a Sports Academy, focusing on Football and Basketball, and there are also teams for badminton, ultimate Frisbee, netball and mixed hockey. We also have a College Sports Maker who helps promote cross-college participation within sport and this has led to various lunchtime and after college activities being set up, including a table tennis league, Team 19 football, No Strings badminton and Zumba.
We have recently become a 1st4sport centre and currently offer a L1 Football Referee’s course to our sports students and we are looking to develop this further with other L1 coaching qualifications. In September 2013 we will be running a L1 Fitness Instructors course as part of our Y2 BTEC Sport provision and we are in the process of investigating HNC/HNDs and L2 Fitness Instructors for Y3 students.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing a rule requiring States to have a formal plan for the pesticides atrazine, simazine, alachlor, metolachlor, and other pesticides of concern in order to continue using them.
The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA), the lead agency for a pesticide plan for Washington, will need an assessment of ground-water vulnerability to pesticides in agricultural areas of the state in order to finalize the plan.
To help the WSDA with its plan, the USGS evaluated the feasibility of using a process-based model to determine areas in which ground water is vulnerable to contamination from pesticides.

Manglam Biomass Gasifiers serves as a simple and reliable solution for bringing down the fuel cost by over 50%. It can convert the solid biomass, such as, wood, wood-waste, corn wastes, coconut shell, rice husks, agriculture residue, etc. into the clean combustible gas (producer gas) by means of a process known as Thermal Gasification.
Manglam Biomass Gasifiers provides all the advantages associated with using gaseous and liquid fuels, such as clean combustion, compact burning equipment, high thermal efficiency and a good degree of control just like a conventional diesel burner.
The supply of gas from the gasification system can be conveniently isolated from the combustion system. The producer gas can be piped out from the Gasifier (which can be physically installed outside the plant building, as per the convenience of the user) to the ovens, furnaces, etc. located in the plant building. So the process of fuel handling and the ash removal can be kept isolated from the actual working area, which adds to the overall safety and enhances the working conditions of the place.
The producer gas produced by Gasifier can be burnt in specially designed burners, in place of fossil fuels like L.D.O./F.O./CNG/LPG/Diesel/CNG. Thus, expensive liquid/gas fuels can be effectively replaced by low cost wood/biomass without any changes in operations, temperature profile, temperature control and cleanliness in the plant area.

Lloris believes the battling display in their goalless draw against Manchester United on Sunday showed their new-found resilience under Mauricio Pochettino.
Spurs have been stung this season by fierce criticism about their mentality and character from a number of pundits.
Gary Neville delivered the most brutal assessment when he accused the Londoners of having a long history of being never ready and weak.
Lloris also criticised his team-mates' character last season after a string of big-game collapses.
But after holding United to a draw Lloris said: "We didn't play a great game with great football, but we were still in the game because we were fighting a lot, so that's very positive.
"I think we are improving. Defensively, we are stronger than at the beginning of the season.
"We didn't play great football but we showed a lot of character because we were fighting a lot and until the end we were believing that we could get the three points.
"I remember we had some bad games last season and we had the feeling that we gave up a bit."
Spurs are on a four-game unbeaten league run and face another huge test when they host league leaders Chelsea on Thursday.
The Blues ran out 3-0 winners in the return fixture earlier this month despite a promising Spurs start at Stamford Bridge.
Lloris said: "I think the Chelsea performance was not so bad.
"We started the game well and then we made a couple of mistakes, and they punished us.
"But we know it's high-level football against Chelsea.
"They can let you have the ball and give you confidence with the ball but if you make one mistake they have the players to punish you."

I’ve been dabbling in instruments for a few years now and I’ve gotten pretty decent at the drums/guitar, and I decided to try my hand at recording music for song covers, and creating my own music. I was told Cubase was probably the best option for a DAW and I even bought the UR 22 mk2 Audio Interface. I got the trial version of Cubase to test it out and see if it was what I wanted. For some reason, I can’t get my guitar to pickup in the application at all. I tried every driver in the studio setup page, and none of them produce sound. The “peak” light on my interface lights up when I strum so that seems to me working fine, but the program doesn’t pick it up.
I followed every tutorial and fix video I could find to no avail. Nothing works. It’s also worth mentioning that the UR22 mk2 driver isn’t present in my drivers list. The only drivers that show up are “ASIO4ALL v2”, “Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver” and “Yamaha Steinberg USB Audio”. I downloaded the yamaha driver and I downloaded the UR22 mk2 drivers and made sure it’s all up to date, but still, the driver doesn’t show up in the list and none of the other options produce sound. Yes, I did create an audio track for the guitar and selected the correct input. I’m pretty sure I’m doing everything right but I just can’t figure it out.
This might actually be your interface, UR22 mk2. (I have the Steinberg UR28M interface, and that’s how Cubase identifies it).
What happens if you choose it?
PS: You may also know, you have to set up the VST Connections, which tells Cubase which outputs on your interface it should route its music to). You can access the VST Connections dialog window by hitting F4 on the keyboard.
Without doing this, Cubase won’t know how to get the music to your ears!
When I choose the yamaha driver, I managed to create a track that showed activity in the app, as if the app was picking up my guitar when I strummed. However, I still heard nothing… I also couldn’t hear any other tracks. But when I switch the audio driver to ASIO4ALL I can hear every track EXCEPT my inputted guitar, and furthermore my guitar track no longer was getting picked up at all. I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong haha

The 20 Practical (Left) next to a .223 Rem (Right). The 20 Practical has the power and capacity to drive many of the 20 Cal bullets 500+ fps faster than the .223 Rem can drive its comparable varmint weight bullets.
Shooting the 20 Practical in an AR-15
We Are Accepting Orders For 20 Practical AR Uppers - Call (215) 348-8789 for details.
Please Note: We do not sell lowers or complete rifles.

- Premium Stainless Match hand lapped barrels to assure maximum accuracy
(1:11" twist - will adequately stabilize 20 Cal. bullets up to 40 gr)
- Heavy Walled Rigid Upper Receivers For Maximum Rigidity and Accuracy
- Rigid Free Float Hand Guards with Bipod Stud
- Clamp-On Gas Blocks to eliminate barrel stress and for maximum accuracy

Samples of 5 shot groups at 100 yards:
The rifle below was set up with an upper chambered in 20 Practical, it features a side charging handle upper using the thick walled very rigid DPMS Low Pro upper receiver and a 24" 1:11" twist barrel which is perfect to stabilize the larger 20 cal. bullets (around 40 gr.).
The 20 Practical - easy to make!
The 20 Practical cartridge is easy to make, just take .223 Remington cases, run them through your resize die, load them and shoot them - No neck turning - No Trimming - Not Complicated!
See Video Below On How Easy It Is!
You can use a Redding Type S FL Bushing die
for the neck down of .223 brass to the 20 Practical
and day to day re-sizing of fired 20 Practical brass.
Check out our Dies and Reloading tools page for Info on purchasing all the components you need to reload for the 20 Practical
To make 20 Practical cases, you first need to obtain a 20 cal. decapping rod and expander ball assembly (Redding Part #14206) to use with the .223 Remington sizing die. This assembly is inexpensive and readily available from Redding and other commercial sources. Along with that you also need to obtain .233" and .225" diameter bushings for use in the sizing die to size down .223 Rem. brass (a .226" bushing may be good to have too). Once you have replaced the decapping rod asssembly and added in a .233" bushing, you lube the 223 Rem. cases (either new or brass that has been previously fired and re-sized) and do a partial neck down of the brass by running them through the re-size die. When you are done that you leave the lube on the cases and then use the .225" diameter bushing (sometimes a .226" bushing depending on the brass) in the sizing die and run your cases through the sizing die a second time to complete the neck down to a 20 Practical case. After that, just load and shoot the cases and use a .225" (or .226") bushing for day to day re-sizing.
Note: Whether you use a .225" or a .226" bushing, depends somewhat on the neck thickness of your brass. With some brass a .226" bushing may be a better bushing for sizing down and day to day re-sizing. The .226" bushing seems to work well with reprocessed military .223 brass that is made into 20 Practical cases. With the Winchester brand .223" brass, a .225" bushing seems to work well with some lots, and other lots seem to be best with a .226" bushing. If you use the .225" bushing and the back pressure is a lot when the expander button comes back through the neck after re-sizing the brass in your press, then you may want to try the .226" bushing instead.
Domestic Brass vs Imported Brass: The 20 Practical set up we have and the related instructions is generally for use with domestic .223 brass (Winchester, Remington, U.S. Military brass, etc.). Some of the imported brass has very thick neck metal and may not be ideal for use with the 20 Practical.
For a seating die for the 20 Practical you can use a Redding 223 Remington Competition Seating die without any modification.
20 Practical cases feed and function 100% in AR-15
There are a number of powders that have been tested and work well with the
20 Practical, among them:
Accuracy is Excellent!
Above = Three 5 shot testing groups with 20 Practical - Each one can be completely covered by a dime!
Close Up of 20 Practical side charging handle option with rigid heavy walled DPMS
Low Pro upper receiver
Uppers feature our special clamp-on gas block for best accuracy!
The clamp-on gas blocks are more expensive than other gas blocks but there is no question they are the best for accuracy, ease of installation, servicing of the upper, adjustability, etc. The blocks we use are designed and made to our specifications for our uppers and provide a perfect gas seal with the barrel and do not deform or stress the barrel like many other cheaper gas blocks typically used by others.
Chrono Testing (11/14/2008)
We were working with the project rifle for the 6mmBR.com website that was to be sold to a customer so we did not put a lot of rounds down the barrel of the rifle for chrono testing but to give an idea of some velocites based upon some very limited testing we did:
25 gr. H335 with Berger 40 gr. BTHP bullet - 3575 fps.
26 gr. H335 with Berger 40 gr .BTHP bullet - 3740 fps.
27 gr. H335 with Berger 40 gr .BTHP bullet - 3846 fps.

Who said that nothing in life was free? Well, we disagree and so do many of our friends.
That’s because we are proud and privileged to have some talented professional musical artistes, that have generously agreed (no arm twisting honest) to put on a musical extravaganza for your pleasure, absolutely FREE.
Where you ask? – Dont’ know is the answer, but we will know eventually and it will be somewhere in the southend, Benfleet, Basildon, wickford, Thorpe Bay, Ashingdon area.
When you ask? Not sure of that either, sometime this summer, but we will certainly let you know, well in advance so that you can cancel everything else and attend our party. However what we do know is that you will be treated to musical afternoon and evening from some of the finest musicians and vocalists that Essex has to offer. It will be a day and night that you will remember for a lifetime, in fact you will be telling stories about this event to your children, children’s children and your children’s childrens’ children.
Why you ask? Because sometimes in life things are just meant to be, plus any donations that are received on the day will be going to the charity of the artists choice. That’s 100% of the monies raised, in fact the musicians, bands and singers have actually donated money themselves to play! Now how generous is that. More on this later, all you will need to do is register your interest for the event here there is absolutely no commitment on your behalf, this just gives us, the organisers an idea of scale.
Children are welcome (but no pets -sorry). We want you to bring your own picnic, party bits and drinks. Chairs and fold away tables are most welcome. A sense of generosity and well being is mandatory and a love of music a must. This is a casual event with some planning involved. Washroom facilities will be available on the chosen site.
