Our redesign is done, and soluble support, at long last, is here! After months of design work, redesign work, extruder drama, supplier drama, and several garbage bags full of failed prints, we've finally gotten it to work. We're saying it's in beta for now, given that the adhesion between PVA and PLA is not quite as good as we'd like it to be, but we're working on an entirely new support material, designed from scratch to solve this problem. More on that later. It's been quite a journey getting to where we are now, and we'd like to fill you in on it.
First, some background. Soluble support, or the lack thereof, has long been the single biggest factor holding back consumer 3D printers. Present in one form or another in enterprise-level FDM and polyjet machines, soluble support enables 3D printing to be freed from the constraint of requiring one layer to be built atop another beneath it, meaning you can actually print anything, not just objects with flat bottoms and no overhangs or unsupported features. It takes us a long way toward fulfilling the promise of additive manufacturing of designing without constraint. It's something we've been excited about for a long time, and we're thrilled to finally bring it to market.
There are a number of reasons soluble support has taken so long to happen, not the least of which has been a lack of will. The pack of consumer 3D printer companies, led by the esteemed competition in Brooklyn, has taught the world that 3D printers are toys, useful for making plastic trinkets and tchotchkes, an application that excuses the glaring lack of ability to create unsupported geometries. The technical hurdles were also formidable. Making soluble support work requires shrinking the extruder, increasing its reliability, solving the nozzle leveling problem while circumnavigating the Stratasys rocking extruder patent, and coming up with a suitable support material that adheres consistently to PLA. Thus far we've conquered all of these problems with the partial exception of the last.
The first issue is the design of the extruder itself. Although our initial idea involved a modification of the old Budaschnozzle to accommodate two separate channels, it became clear early on that this would simply be too hard to machine. We needed an extruder with a clean sheet design. It had to be more reliable (two extruders means twice the chance of failure), it had to be reasonably lightweight and compact, and it needed to be able to sit hot for extended periods of time without jamming. It also had to be minutely adjustable so as to be able to get the two nozzles absolutely level, so that one nozzle would not be dragged through the material laid down by the other.
We got really excited when we saw QU-BD's then new X-truder, a design featuring a small stepper motor geared down by 3:1, and geared into two separate feed wheels, but we were disappointed when we ordered one and found that it didn't actually work. It jammed left, right, and center. Its plates suffered from alignment problems, which ate up power from its already under powered motor. Its barrel, under siege from the notorious PLA swell problem, jammed consistently. And its poorly designed feed wheels wasted way too much of the motor's torque biting into the plastic. Still, the concept was sound, and we used it as a taking off point.
We spent October to January going through numerous iterations of our extruder, ending up with something that bears only superficial resemblance to the X-truder. We increased the size of the motor to a NEMA 17, adding 100 grams but tripling the power; we redesigned the feed wheels to have smaller but sharper teeth, such that they wasted less energy biting into the filament; we added spacers to fix the alignment issues; we lined the barrel with PTFE and tweaked its heat sinking to solve the jamming problem; we changed the mounting to accommodate our vertical X carriage; and we added a captive nut mechanism to permit precision adjustment of nozzle height. We've gotta say, the result is fantastic. It's the best thing on the market, bar none. Our new printhead never jams. The twin feed wheels hold the filament so tightly that it never slips or strips. True, nozzles still occasionally clog, but they're inexpensive and easily replaceable. We're releasing our design on under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 4.0 International License; you can view all of the source files at downloads.isis3d.net.
The next problem was choosing a support material and making it work. There were two options already on the market: polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and high impact polystyrene (HIPS). Neither was ideal; PVA was expensive, and HIPS looked like a nonstarter, dissolving in limonene instead of water. Lacking the timeframe to develop something new from scratch, however, we tried both. Neither blew us away at first. More specifically, neither worked at all. Nothing adhered well enough to PLA.
After a month of fighting with settings and nozzle geometry, and a lot of time wasted barking up the tree of my brilliant (not) "blunt nozzle" idea, we got PVA working reasonably well. It's still not perfect. Most prints work, but in some cases the object will delaminate from its support, causing the print to fail. Right now, our success rate for soluble prints is around 70%, compared to 95+% for single extruder prints. Certainly we're not done yet, but when you consider that the industry average success rate for single extruder prints hovers around 70%, I'd say we're doing pretty well.
The next step, required to get soluble support out of the land of beta and into the realm of things that truly, reliably work, is to create a new support material. It needs to stick really well to PLA, it needs to be water soluble and nontoxic, and it needs to be cheaper than PVA. We're aiming at a retail price of $40/kg, the same as PLA. We've got some ideas, and we've begun work. Hopefully, we'll have something to market in the next couple months. Every one of our fabulous and patient pre-order customers will get a free kilo.
That's all for now. Check back next week for more, and as always, feel free to email us questions you'd like us to address here.
On Final Approach! Feb 18 2014
We have been working feverishly for the past few months to get this redesign done, and we are pleased to say we are finished! The Isis One now has two independently adjustable extruder/hotend assembles of a completely new design, and is capable of soluble support. We've also added dynamic bed leveling, which lets us get first layers absolutely perfect every time, even with two extruders. What started out as a relatively simple hotend redesign turned into a total overhaul of our machine, linear systems and all. It's been quite an adventure, and it's certainly taken quite a bit more time than we planned to spend, but we're very happy with the results we're getting, both in terms of print quality and reliability. We think you will be too.
Pictures, video, source files, and tons of other information is forthcoming in the next few weeks, as we formally launch the new design. We can't wait to fill you in on all the details, but in the mean time we are furiously busy with production.
We would like to thank our awesome, patient, and incredibly loyal preorder customers for bearing with us through the redesign. You've been wonderfully supportive, and we are more grateful than we can express. We have the first batch of our new printheads arriving from the machine shop on the imminently, and should have machines shipping shortly thereafter.
Thank you all so much! More to come soon.-Marc
P.S. The picture above is a test print of 160 mm (6") birdcage for a youtube commenter who was concerned about overhang on large objects. It came out beautifully and is a fun addition to the birdcage collection!

With gratitude from Chicago,The Isis3D team
Dual Extruder Update Oct 15 2013
A quick update on the dual extruder/soluble support front:
One thing has led to another, and our dual hotend project has turned into a somewhat more extensive redesign. Amazing how changing one thing necessitates changing half a dozen others, isn't it? If you give a mouse a cookie...
Anyway, we've been hard at work on this project for the past few weeks, and are pleased to report that (barring further occurrences of Murphy's Law of Engineering) we're almost done. We don't want to say too much about the improvements we've made until we're done testing everything, but they're substantial. It's a good story, and we'll do justice to it soon, along with pictures of the redesigned machine, video, and a few awesome prints with soluble support. Be excited!
Isis One Birdcage Print Video! Sept 24 2013
Hello, Isis3D fans!
Today I'm happy to share with you a video of the Isis One in action, doing one of our favorite prints, a 40 mm birdcage (the medium size pictured here). It's a great, fast print that really shows off the printer's overhang capabilities and resolution; my favorite part is the closing of the birdcage at the end. Enjoy, and be sure to share with your friends!
It's an exciting time at Isis3D, and we'll have some more updates to share soon, so stay tuned. In the meantime, click over to follow us on Facebook and Twitter!
The Isis One Linear System Design Story Sept 10 2013
Today's post will share the story of our linear systems: what we tested, what we discovered, and why our machine works so well.
Our experience began with the first scratch-built MM1.5 we made last summer. It used the old 8 mm rod/SDP bushing system off the Prusa. The linear motion didn't work well, and the bed was nearly impossible to level. We tried replacing this with a dual makerslide system involving laser cut wood, but this somehow managed to be worse rather than better. In January, we tried MTW's Igus rail upgrade kit. It was a huge improvement at first, although it still wasn't perfect. One central carriage in the center seemed a little insufficient. It seemed slightly less than rock solid, and the layer stacking was good but not perfect. We ran the machine for hundreds of hours in this configuration, and began to notice powder on the rail. The bearings were wearing down, and the slop was increasing. The bed began to wobble noticeably side to side. It developed this weird vibration we dubbed the "Igus shimmy," which manifested itself in horrible looking wobbly perimeters.
We figured that maybe the one central carriage was insufficient, and that perhaps the torsional loads on it when the bed reversed direction were too much. We switched to a dual rail system--I believe we were using the Igus WSQ-10 rail at first--so as to get better support closer to the corners of the bed. This helped the wear situation, but the layer stacking just wasn't great. There was too much slop. We ended up going through several other dual rail configurations on our Y axis--WS-10 and N27, with different combinations of standard, preloaded, and floated carriages. At this point we also tested a number of rail options on the X: single N27 (we were trying a Bowden extruder at the time), double N27, double N17, single N80, and the minirail from PBC. Nothing worked well, and everything was expensive.
At this point, we took a step back and looked at a number of commercially available products that involved linear systems. We looked at inkjet printers, scanners, and optical drives. We noticed that all of them--even DVD drives that had to read tracks spaced several hundred nanometers apart--used rod based systems. We figured that everybody couldn't be wrong, and that perhaps we, and the Reprap community in general, had been doing something wrong with rods.
The breakthrough for us came when we were repairing our old MM1.5's x carriage. It was binding terribly, worse than it had been before, and we were skipping steps way too often. We decided to replace the SDP bushings with LM8UUs (foolish in retrospect, but we didn't know) but since our only working printer was down and we couldn't print a new X carriage, we decided to make the smaller new bearings fit in the old holes by filling the gaps with hot glue. Hacky, I know, but desperate times called for desperate measures. Amazingly, though, it worked. Really well. The hot glue served as a float system, eating up the hundred or so microns of inevitable misalignment, and thus allowed the carriage to move freely and accurately.
The community moved away from rods in the first place because (I'm assuming) they were too flexible and they were prone to binding. Both these problems are fixable, however. If you use 12 mm rod, flexibility is not an issue on a machine the size of ours. If you use precision ground rod (available from McMaster) and SDP teflon filled acetal (quieter than sintered bronze, and going strong at 700+ hours) bearings, you have very smooth movement and no detectable slop. And if you use a float system whereby the bearings on one rod are fixed and the ones on the other are free to move a few hundred microns, the binding issue can be totally solved. The float system we use on our Y system uses a printed floated bearing holder (see the STL) that allows flexing in the X direction, but not the Z. On the X, we use the simpler expedient of putting the top bearings in short pieces of rubber tube. This does provide some Y flexibility, but gravity provides an effective preload that prevents this from being a problem, and this allows the printer to compensate for too-thin first layers.
Expect an update on the progress of dual extruder/soluble support project in the next few days. Our experiments have led us in a fairly different direction than the one we originally had in mind, but I think we've almost got it cracked.
Stay tuned! Team Isis3D
Hello World! / Soluble Support Aug 26 2013
It's been an exciting week. We've heard from all sorts of interesting people and organizations from all around the world, working on all manner of awesome projects. We've heard from architects, engineers, designers, artists, artisans, makers, educators, and entrepreneurs. We are humbled to be able to provide a machine that can facilitate such a broad and fascinating range of human endeavor.
We're starting this blog so that we can keep people posted on the latest developments and so that we can explain some of the engineering behind the Isis One for the benefit of the open source community at large. In the coming weeks we'll discuss our bed leveling system, how we got prints to stick reliably to the bed, why we like PLA so much, and why we think our linear systems are so great. But first we want to talk about support material.
In the past week, we've gotten a number of sample parts to print from prospective customers. Although for the most part our prototype Isis Ones are doing an admirable job, one problem has become clear: support material. Our KISSlicer-generated breakaway support makes use of a gap—0.5 mm by default—between the support interface layer and the supported surface. This is, on the whole, a pretty effective method, allowing for relatively easy removal. It is ideally supported to prints like Michelangelo's David, who's elbow and chin need just a touch of support, and it also works pretty well for prints like the velociraptor skull, although in this case support removal took a solid half hour. It's a huge improvement on the status quo of no support material at all. But for a number of the sample prints people have been sending us—curvy sorts of things with large supported areas—it's appearing to be inadequate, requiring too much effort to remove and leaving a messy surface.
This isn't good enough for us, so here's the plan: we're going to have a shot at making soluble support work over the next three weeks. If we can pull it off, we'll ship the new dual extruder Isis One at no additional cost for all pre-orders. Those of you who've already bought an Isis One will have the dual version free of charge, or keep the original design as ordered. We hope the new soluble support design will be hugely helpful to our customers and can set the new standard for extrusion-based printers.
The design we have in mind involves a single hotend of a novel design, featuring two separate nozzle orifices a few millimeters apart in the same heater block. The support material used will be polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), which melts in a similar range to PLA, dissolves in water, and is nontoxic. Rather than removing support material manually, you'll simply take the print off the bed and soak it overnight in a bucket of water, in which the support material will dissolve. This will allow us to omit the support gap, allowing perfect supported surfaces and much more elaborate supported prints. Eventually, when we get the software updated, you'll even be able to print complex mechanical systems at once, the moving parts separated by thin layers of PVA.
Helping us with this new endeavor will be a newly hired mechanical engineer named Megan and a beastly new lathe (yet to be named)*. Megan met Marc a year ago on the BJ Scav team, where they worked together on item #111, for which they built a fully automatic pipette tip machine gun.
Stay tuned. This will be interesting, and updates will be available here.
That's all for now, Team Isis3D
*Update: The lathe has been named Rosie. :)

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis on Wednesday signed a decree appointing Finance Minister Dan Vilceanu, MP of the ruling liberal PNL party, said the president’s office, according to See News.
The new finance minister will be sworn in officially Wednesday evening, stated the president’s office in a press release.
Vilceanu, 42, holds a PhD in economy, according to data posted on the chamber of deputies website.
His appointment comes after in July Prime Minister Florin Cîţu dismissed Finance Minister Alexandru Nazare because of delays in the implementation of several important projects. Shortly after, Cîţu took over as interim finance minister.
The prime minister’s decision came ahead of an internal election within PNL at which he will challenge the current party leader Ludovic Orban.
The coalition cabinet comprising PNL, the centre-right alliance USR-PLUS and the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians received the parliament’s confidence vote on December 22.

Roberto Merigi (Anthony Steffen) has been hired by Count Montebruno to restore an infamous statue recently recovered from a local lake. The statue of a beautiful woman has a curse attached that takes immediate effect when the boatmen who brought Merigi to the village drown on their return trip across the water. The statue is about 200 years old and portrays a beautiful female ancestor of the present count. She's also a spitting image of the count's daughter, the English-educated Harriet (Steele). The legend relates that the original model had an ugly sister, a failed rival for a man's affections, who placed a curse on the statue, which was originally mounted on a bridge, and promptly tumbled off the bridge with the statue, which remained submerged until the film's 19th century present.
Will Belinda's curse on the statue (above) doom its model's descendant (Barbara Steele, below)?
Before long, predictably enough to the superstitious, Harriet begins behaving strangely. She plays the sexual predator, seducing and flogging an imbecile gardener while simultaneously seducing her pretty maid (Ursula Davis, the vampire from Crypt) and compelling her to break off her engagement with the local schoolteacher. Her scheming has fatal consequences for many. She seems to be possessed, not by the spirit of her precursor but by Belinda, the wicked sister who cursed the statue. It's up to Merigi, who started to fall for Harriet before the curse kicked in, to get to the bottom of her strange, dangerous behavior and figure out what power has changed her so drastically.
An Angel for Satan is provocative adult entertainment!
Angel reunites Mastrocinque with his Crypt cinematographer, Giuseppe Aquari, and the team again milks an atmospheric location for all it's worth. If anything, Angel has even more gothic sweep than Crypt, thanks to moody shots of boats on the lake and Barbara Steele riding her horse through the landscape. Going black-and-white was probably a good idea, since it makes the film less the Pop Art anachronism it could have been and more of an honest evocation of the 19th century we know from photographs. Barbara Steele is as good as you could want in her split-personality role, which sort of merges her two Black Sunday characters in one body. No matter how often she played depraved women, she could always convince you that her character at least starts out innocent.
What disappoints a little is the film's ultimate resolution, which undercuts Steele by reducing her character to little more than a puppet. Somehow the way she changes becomes less plausible once you eliminate the supernatural element, and it becomes hard to believe that the real villain of the piece could manipulate all the victims (the motive being hatred for "all who love") so effectively and so indirectly. You can still believe in the curse when all is said and done, but the story complicates things in a manner that doesn't necessarily enhance the horror of the piece. Angel isn't as effective or impressive as the still-underrated Crypt. but it's still an attractive and interesting effort that probably looks older now than it actually is. That seems appropriate somehow.

BEIS Committee calls on government to retain close association with EU atomic community after Brexit, as Michael Gove releases letter on environmental governance regime
With the next stage of Brexit negotiations set to grapple with a raft of environmental issues, the complexity of unpicking the UK from EU green agencies and legislation was again laid bare this week in a series of developments.
The controversial decision by the government to quit the Euratom regime as part of the Brexit process will come under the microscope today when the BEIS Committee of MPs publishes its long awaited report on post-Brexit nuclear arrangements.
The MPS will say the UK should stay as closely associated as possible with the European Atomic Energy Community after Brexit in order to minimise the risk of disruption to the domestic nuclear industry's research and trade.
The report today by the BEIS Committee will urge the government to retain a close association with the EU nuclear body, including its delivery of existing nuclear safeguards requirements in the UK, arguing that a 'no deal' option would be "highly risky" in the absence of any transitional arrangements.
When signing Article 50 back in March this year, the UK government signalled its intention to exit the Euratom nuclear body, much to the concern of the domestic nuclear industry which has warned it could undermine efforts to build new clean power capacity and meet the UK's climate goals.
But government insiders argued that the separate decision to end the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice over the UK meant there was little choice but to quit Euratom.
Today's report counters that without nuclear cooperation agreements and an international safeguards regime - currently delivered by Euratom - the government will not be able to guarantee access to materials essential to the running of domestic nuclear power stations, which currently provide around 21 per cent of UK electricity.
Moreover, the BEIS Committee believes the benefits of the Euratom regime should also not be put at risk by sticking strictly to the government's 'red line' on the ending UK jurisdiction of the ECJ after Brexit.
The report follows plans announced by the government last week to drive development of both additional small and large nuclear projects in the UK, and comes ahead of a planned Parliamentary debate on the EU (Withdrawal) Bill this week.
Labour MP Rachel Reeves, chair of the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Committee, said that throughout the Committee's inquiry not a single contributor was in favour of the UK leaving the Euratom community. Yet the UK now faced the prospect of having to set up its own nuclear safeguarding regime in its place "which falls short of Euratom standards", she added.
"The government should, as a matter of urgency, be seeking to retain as close as possible an association with Euratom and secure its ongoing delivery of existing safeguards requirements in the UK," said Reeves. "Any delay will increase investment in contingency arrangements which may ultimately not be required."
She called for an extended transitional period for the civil nuclear industry, or the continuation of Euratom support, in order to ensure standards are maintained and risks to trade are reduced. "The industry needs more clarity about our future safeguards regime and what regulatory equivalence will actually mean in practice," Reeves explained.
BEIS was considering BusinessGreen's request for comment at the time of going to press.
The report comes a day after Environment Secretary Michael Gove wrote to MPs regarding his plans for green governance, trade and chemicals regulations after the UK leaves the EU, having recently committed to setting up a new independent, statutory body to safeguard England's environment.
In the letter, Gove writes that leaving the EU provides a "unique opportunity to design a set of policies to drive environmental improvement with a powerful and permanent impact, tailored to the needs of our country".
Defra will consult "as widely as possible" on the specific powers and scope of the green governance body, Gove said, as there are "significant questions to answer" about how the new body should operate.
But he signalled that the new green watchdog should only cover England and environmental areas that are not devolved, adding that UK regional governments will have the option of either making use of the new body "as they already do with the Climate Change Committee" or set up their own equivalents.
"A new independent, statutory body and a strong statement of environmental principles will ensure that outside the EU, the UK becomes the world-leading curator of the most precious asset of all: our planet," Gove's letter states.
Gove also said the continued validity of business registrations to REACH chemicals regulations was one of the government's Brexit negotiation objectives, and he urged companies to ensure they are compliant with regulatory requirements in the EU while the UK remains a member.
And, on environmental legal principles, Gove said the government would be consulting on a new policy statement regarding those principles that will apply in the UK after Brexit, but that it would be important to gather a wide range of views before coming to any decisions.
"I want to reassure the Committee that we want to ensure that economic growth, development and environmental protection go hand in hand, and it is in everyone's interest to avoid any 'race to the bottom'." Gove writes. "We will have the opportunity to promote our values around the globe in the areas that are of the greatest importance to us as a country."
The intervention came as the Chemicals Industries Association reportedly wrote to Gove last week urging him to ensure the UK remains part of the REACH regime and the European Chemicals Agency. The chemicals sector has repeatedly warned that exiting REACH could result in major trade barriers with the EU as chemicals firms are forced to separately register chemicals for import to the bloc. The group told Gove exiting REACH - as would occur under a no deal scenario - would "make a mockery" of claims Brexit would lead to regulatory simplification.
From nuclear to chemicals to environmental regulatory enforcement, the complex issues that need to be addressed to deliver a successful 'green Brexit' are steadily becoming more apparent.

We hit on two out of three betting tips in UFC 226 last month for a profitable event. UFC 227 will be held this Sunday AEST live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles and is headlined by a massive Bantamweight title fight between T.J Dilshaw and Cody Garbrandt. We take a look at some of the key fights of UFC 227 and give our betting tips below.
Bantamweight Title Fight
T.J Dillashaw won the Bantamweight title from Renan Bareo in one of the biggest upsets in UFC history back in July of 2015. He defended his title successfully twice against Joe Soto and Baao again before losing it to Dominick Cruz in January of 2016. Since then, he has fought on just three occasions, due mostly to injury, and won all three fights including a November 2017 matchup against Garbrandt to win back the Bantamweight title.
Garbrandt was undefeated throughout his first 10 fights in the UFC before eventually winning the Bantamweight title off Crus in December of 2016. He lost the title to Dillashaw in November of 2017 and while a rematch has been in the works for the majority of this year, injuries to both men have stalled the fight until now.
When the two fighters met for the title in UFC 217, it was one of the more interesting fights in recent UFC, even if it did end in the second round. At one point, Dillashaw looked out of the fight when one of his opponents counters landed, however, the Round 1 bell rang and Dillashaw was able to compose himself and come out swinging in Round 2, eventually catching Garbrandt and ending him in the eighth minute.
The rematch will be an interesting one to say the least. Garbrandt has the better fight ending striking ability and will need to get a little lucky but Dillashaw is just the smarter fighter in my opinion. With over eight months to prepare for this fight, it’s hard to see Dillashaw coming in unprepared for this fight. I think the fight goes longer than the November edition did, but Dillashaw claims the win by TKO/KO in the late rounds.
Flyweight Title Fight
Demetrious Johnson first won the UFC Flyweight title in September of 2012. Since then he has successfully defended the belt on 11 times and is now the UFC record holder for the most ever title defences. He has been completely untouched in the division for the better part of six years and will now be having his second crack at Henry Cejudo, whom he defeated via TKO back in UFC 197 in 2016.
Cejudo was impressive in his MMA career in the lead up to his big shot at Johnson in 2016, winning his first 10 fights, the first four of which all came via TKO. However, after losing the title fight to Johnson he suffered another loss to Joseph Benavidez in 2016 before winning both of his fights last year to set up a rematch with Johnson.
Cejudo provides probably the toughest test that Johnson has had to face in the his last few title defences. At 31 years old, it’s almost a life or death fight for Cejudo here. If he loses, he will have no where else to go in the Flyweight division, having climbed to the top on two occasions only to lose the title fight. His background as an Olympic gold medallist in freestyle wrestling will throw something different at Johnson. In the past, Johnson has been so skilled at taking anyone in the Flyweight division to ground, however, with Cejudo’s grappling skills, it’s likely we see this fight stay upright for the majority.
Sooner or later the king has to fall. While Johnson is definitely still the favourite for this fight, I think Cejudo definitely has the best chance of any of the last few contenders to come across Johnson, and we are picking an upset here.

Discussion in 'Media' started by chanel, Jul 19, 2010.
For some strange reason, this does not surprise me. They hate the military more than hate groups.
Thanks for the link. I've rarely seen such a bullshit site.
No wonder cons are so misinformed.
Share it with your friends. I do.
Why would you title this LEFT WING MEDIA GROUPS? Sheesh chanel
the article in the stars and stripes states MEDIA GROUPS and there are CLEARLY RIGHT WING media groups in the list that are trying to safeguard FIRST AMENDMENT rights????
Media groups side with Westboro protestors in court case - News - Stripes
Gee, chanel, I have read up on this and all that seems to be fueling anyone is a desire to preserve the right to freedom of speech and freedom of association. That almost always means defending speech which is repugnant, and none of these groups is defending the message of the Westboro Church. The willingness of lefty organizations to step up and defend the rights of those they find utterly repulsive should be a reason to applaud them, not criticize them.
I think you have better critical thinking skills than this. Did you also think the whole ACLU supported the Nazis when they defended their rights?
Did you read the brief? The issue has ZERO to do with the military, and the brief is replete with admonitions of what Phelps et al. do. It has to do with First Amendment protections, PERIOD, something you folks yammer about 24/7.
The brief also cites every single First Amendment lawsuit based on "repugnant" material and the right to publish it which establish the existing precedent.
Only idiots would side with that group!!! I con;t claim any Christian brotherhood with them at all. I do love the people, and would certainly not mind having a chat with them, but their organization has brainwashed them and they need help.
The media... well, they are a lost cause anyway.
Care - I titled it as such because that's what the article says. It seems like a list of lefties to me.
And Madeline - filing a brief on their behalf goes beyond protecting free speech. This man won his judgment and it was reversed. Read the case. They should have kept their stinkin hate to themselves for once.
BTW - Bill O"Rielly is picking up the legal bills. This is what this is about. Stickin it to Fox.
WRONG as usual chanel...and your 'news' source is either purposely lying or obtuse, like you. IF you read the brief, those media organizations are filing to protect THEMSELVES from lawsuits that could be filed every time they report controversial or incendiary comments or positions made by a 3rd party.

I am using DRV8825s for my 2A holding torque stepper motors.
I have noticed that the current setting via Potentiometer doesn’t correspond to the measured current
through one coil (Multimeter with RMS current measurement) when the motor is turning.
I know the RMS current divided by sqrt(2) lower than the max. current.
I know that the max current is only 70% for full step mode ( I used 1/4 and 1/8 step mode)
I know it is only possible to set these drivers to 2A max current with a sufficient cooling, but the measured current doesn’t correspond to low values either.
The shunt resistor ist 0.1Ohm for both H-Bridges (both coils).
I would expect the max current to be 2A when setting the Potentiometer to 1V. However, I can only measure 1.4A (max. current) / 1.0A (RMS current).
I have tried both RMS measurement (when the motor is turning) and DC current measurement when only one coil is energized (0° electrical angle). Both values correspond to each other but don’t correspond to the adjusted voltage on the Potentiometer.

President Uhuru Kenyatta is mourning the death of his father, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta's tailor, Dhanji Liladhar Parmar.
Mr Parmar, who made Mzee Kenyatta's coats passed on on Monday.
Announcing his demise, his daughter Simran Parmar stated: "He was full of life yesterday (Sunday). We had dinner together and he was fine. This morning (yesterday), he woke up early as usual but died a few minutes later. It is very painful for the family."
Posting on his Twitter account, Uhuru exclaimed: "His life was a testimony that as long as you serve & do what you do with passion, there is no limit to what you can achieve. We pray that God strengthens his family.
[caption caption="Dhanji Liladhar Parmar at his compound in Nakuru "][/caption]
"Yes, my father, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, loved his Leather jackets. We celebrate the talent and skill of Dhanji Parmar," Uhuru added.
Parmar's daughter also described the renowned tailor as a loving father, who despite his old age, always checked on his family and remained active.
Mr Parmar, who was 85 years old, collapsed in their home opposite Nakuru State Lodge and was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
"He woke up at around 7 am and collapsed while having a shower. Doctors told us that he suffered a heart attack," his nephew Rakesh Prenji explained.
Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui also mourned him, describing him as a true patriot who was committed to serving the less privileged through his charity
"Mzee Parmar displayed utmost patriotism and diligence. He will particularly be remembered for his compassion to the poor through the Lion’s Club and attendance of all national holiday celebrations even in later years when his health was failing," the county boss stated.
Parmar rose to fame in the late 1960s when he made President Jomo Kenyatta a leather jacket at his father's shop, then located in Nakuru.
After he made Kenyatta the coat, he became a household name as other senior government officials sought his services.
Government officials who sought his services included former Rift Valley Provincial Commissioner Isaiah Mathenge, Cabinet Minister Mbiyu Koinange, and provincial engineer Kim Gatende.
The Kenyan of Asian descent also received recognition from former President Daniel arap Moi, who awarded him a Head of State Commendation in 1995 and let him become a frequent visitor to State House.

Jun 04 2016
Hi everyone, I’ve been missing in blog land (again). I’ve been so busy with Guild exams that I haven’t had a spare moment to photograph my cards until today.
I absolutely love this June Rose pattern. The designer is Linda Williams, a Master Pergamano Instructor. Linda designed the pattern for the Parchment Craft Magazine based in the UK. Linda embossed her card for the magazine using the shadow embossing technique, I painted it with Faber-Castell polychromos colored pencils and added a touch of shadowing with water color (felt tip markers). To paint with felt tip markers I scribble color onto a palette and then pick up color with a moist (but not wet) water color paint brush and paint directly onto the colored pencil work.
This card would make a beautiful wedding card or a very beautiful birthday card for a mom with a birthday in June.
It was a joy to paint the card and a fun challenge to do the lace work. I traced the border, the lace and the word “June” with white lead on the front side of the parchment. After embossing those areas on the back side of the parchment, I removed the white lead with Dorso oil (very carefully, as I didn’t want to remove any of the painting which was done first). I perforated the lace with a 2-split perforating tool and perforated the border with a 2 needle perforating tool. The cutting took a bit of time, but was well worth the patience as the lace work is so realistic in appearance.
I adhered Swarovski 1mm garnet crystals on the lace, as well as on the letter “J”.
And now for my exciting announcement:
I have been so blessed on my parchment craft journey. Six years ago I first started learning this beautiful craft and I could not have imagined where the journey would take me.
I am so excited to announce my appointment as Vice principal for the USA for The Academy of Independent Parchment Craft Tutors, co-founded and owned by Linda Williams and Patricia M Murphy from The United Kingdom. The Academy’s mission is to bring about the growth and development of parchment craft around the world by creating a network of qualified tutors worldwide to teach and share our passion for parchment craft.
I’m thrilled to be working alongside Heather Attwater, Vice Principal for Canada and Elizabeth Willey, Vice Principal for Australia. Heather, Elizabeth and I have the honor and privilege of being chosen to represent our respective countries to help fulfill The Academy’s mission.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions about The Academy and how I may assist you in learning parchment craft, or if you already know parchment craft and would be interested in becoming an academy tutor and sharing your love of parchment in your area.
If you’re interested in giving parchment craft a try and want learn to make cards like you’ve seen on my blog, I have a small starter kit, available here. I bought this kit six years ago and haven’t looked back.
Thank you so much for your visit, I very much appreciate you spending a bit of your day visiting with me.
Wishing you the very best,

Quarto (ca. 25x19 cm). 21 card stock leaves. With 35 mounted gelatin silver and albumen photographs, including three large photos ca. 15x24 cm (5 ¾ x 9 ½ in) or slightly smaller; the rest of the photos are from ca. 10,5x16 cm (4 x 6 ¼ in) to ca. 8,5x13,5 cm (3 ¼ x 5 ¼ in). All but three photos with period pencil captions in Spanish on the mounts; two photos captioned and signed in negative by Marc Ferrez. Period style dark brown half morocco album with cloth boards. Mounts slightly age-toned, a couple of photos mildly faded, one photo with minor damage to the right lower corner, but overall a very good album of strong interesting photos.
Interesting collection of original studio photos of Chile including Valparaiso harbour and port; interesting portraits of Mapuche chief (cacique) Juan Catrileo Colipi, a Huazo (cowboy), indigenous Patagonian and Mapuche people, and Chilean potato vendors; views of the railway bridge over the Maule River near Talca; Llay Llay station of the Santiago-Valparaiso railway, Baños de Caugnene (Colchagua Valley), Selkirk’s Cave on Juan Fernandez Island, Salto del Laja waterfall, the ports of Lota (Concepcion province) and Corral (Valdivia province), &c. There are also views of the urban landmarks of Valparaiso (masonic hall, National Bank, Fiscal Mole, Sacred Hearts church, a funicular elevator) and Santiago (Puente de Cal y Canto, Santa Lucia Hill, Galeria de San Carlos, National Congress building, La Moneda palace, Parque Cousiño, La Alameda avenue, the monument to Bernardo O’Higgins, etc). A photo of an oil painting shows a scene of Chilean traditional dance cueca.
Although the photographer has not been identified, two photos from the album were found in Chilean public collections. The portrait of Cacique Juan Catrileo Colipi from the collections of Chilean National Digital Library (very similar to ours and evidently taken during the same photography session) was printed as a postcard by a Valparaiso company of Burmeister & Cia (http://www.bibliotecanacionaldigital.gob.cl/bnd/629/w3-article-613793.html). A photo of the Maule River railway bridge can be found on the website of the “Memoria Chilena” project of the National Library of Chile (http://www.memoriachilena.gob.cl/602/w3-article-68325.html).
Overall an attractive collection of original photos of Chile in the early 20th century.

The Finance conference which took place this morning at the Fairmont hotel with film director Brett Ratner and UTA’s Rich Klubeck revealed insights on the Chinese film market and how Hollywood is looking at foreign territories to make local investments. During the conference, Ratner also announced that Warner Bros had acquired RatPac Entertainment’s ‘The Water Diviner’.
Below are some of the highlights at the AFM from Brett Ratner and how RatPac got its name.
Brett Ratner at the film finance conference:
“RatPac wasn’t really a plan. My dream was always to be just a film director, and as a film director, most filmmakers tend to develop their own project and sometimes they’re developing multiple projects and then as the movie goes they have these other projects that are just sitting around, so by default a lot of the time directors end up being producers”
“The way it happened is an interesting story, he [James Packer] called me up, he’s an old friend of mine and he said to me “Brett, your name is Ratner, my name is Packer – we’re the only two guys who could ever have a company aside from Frank Sinatra called RatPac.”
“I went to China a few times, did some due diligence – I analyzed what was going on in the marketplace and realized that what the Chinese want is for the local films to thrive. So we decided internally to finance local Chinese movies and that’s what we did.”
“Meanwhile I’m still a filmmaker, so if anyone has a job for me, I’m interested.”
“There’s so many buyers out there right now – that’s why content is king. Being in the content business is incredible business.”

Is The Temperament Ruining Your Very Own Connection?
“Holding onto anger is just like grasping a hot coal with the intention of putting it at other people, yet you’re individual who gets burned up.”
Frustration in dating is noticeably similar to the way, if in case it goes unchecked for very long plenty of, the harm could become permanent.
I’ve always been a pretty peaceful and accumulated person, but just the past year evaluated myself in a variety of ways that I had been perhaps not prepared for. I happened to be getting work done in a very poisonous ecosystem (this is the concept of activity) with ridiculous extended hours, and ended up being worried as all break. So when i got to my home some times nearer to night time, i might getting overtired and operating on epinephrine, with an ever shortening fuse.
Grounds for rage in a connection
Persons can go through a diverse set of sorts of anger. Some of the most popular are as follows:
- Passive outrage. Rage which is not always obvious and can even feel “bottled upwards,” therefore tough to determine
- Bogged down frustration. Anger that results from an exhausting or stressful lifestyle
- Chronic outrage. Continuous, constant rage, may influence one’s bodily and mental overall health over the years
- Self-inflicted rage. Outrage this is inclined to one’s personal through thoughts of pity or guilt
- Volatile fury. Fury might come to be aggressive with extortionate, typically volatile symptoms of fury
- Judgmental frustration. Rage that is due to anger that is pointing towards other individuals
Can Fury Obliterate a connection?
The shorter answer is yes, frustration can destroy a relationship, or at least result in some destruction which can be permanent.
Sometimes nevertheless, anger itself is not the situation. Quite, exactly how business partners overcome each other’s rage, along with their personal, is often difficult. When you are getting swept up in a moment of frustration, somehow or do something you’ll inherently feel was wrong, however experience helpless to your symptoms. A person say or do things a person instantaneously be sorry for, but an individual can’t capitulate and back. You can create offers to all of them or even yourself to changes, however you can’t find a way that really works.
And that means you manage down a path that ends up being more violent each time you obtain annoyed, with risks that make it more and more difficult to repair the destruction your own anger is causing.
4. enjoy what your companion has got to talk about.

Enjoy what they do have to say, or find out if they’ve got any pointers to help you manage better.
5. relax or “time out.” Once you get irritated and have the emotion designing, ask your spouse for a rest while having all of them perform some the exact same when they are furious or annoyed, as well. At times the better to hesitate the chat until such time you’ve built-up your ideas and https://datingranking.net/biggercity-review feel peaceful adequate to speak about they.
6. contemplate just what outside aspects are arriving into games. Back when we continually lash down with rage for seemingly no reason, it is actually probably since there are other activities guiding our well being. Has to be your job too demanding? Have you sense weighed down with the rest transpiring in your life? It could be that you are really maybe not actually resentful at your partner, but alternatively the circumstances that feeling away from controls.
7. Realize that nobody otherwise has the power to “make” an individual upset. A lot of the full time when we are annoyed, we all attribute they to someone else that “made” people angry. While it’s correct that a person can tell or make a move that annoys or frustrates us all, the reality is that you’re enraged because that’s the way you taken care of immediately all of them. Not one person pushed you to receive upset, though. In the same way you may decide to get annoyed, you could also prefer to become frustrated.
8. After your very own rage settles, think about, “just what performed I study from this?” Any time you mess-up or obtain crazy, it is the opportunity to improve ourself by learning from the feeling. Determine the thing you may have completed differently, and exactly what you’ll does so when an equivalent situation occurs. There’s often a chance to enhance our potential behaviour, but highlighting on our very own past demeanor is the vital thing.
9. accept concern. At times the most effective way to break down the fury is actually by going beyond yourself, and to the shoes or boots for the other individual. Just how do believe that about pretty much everything? Exactly how has to be your tendencies impacting them? Series kindness and focus, even though you may experience enraged.

TAMPA, Fla. -- A Florida woman finds a way to include her husband in their Christmas photo during his deployment.
Danielle Cobo will spend Christmas away from her husband. He deployed in early 2019.
He is serving overseas as a Black Hawk helicopter pilot. He closed his own medical marketing company to join the military six years ago.
"Every time you go to bed, you're constantly reminded that they're not here. Every time you have a tradition you normally do and they're not there," said Cobo.
Cobo loves Christmas. Her twin boys are old enough to enjoy family traditions.
She did not want her husband to skip the holiday photo for their Christmas card.
"I said 'can you take a photo of you in your uniform with your hand out?' He really had no idea what I was doing," said Cobo.
Her Christmas cards feature a photo with her and her twin boys. The other half of the photo includes her husband in uniform as he serves our country.
"Even though we're miles apart, we're still close together. We're still a family unit and our hearts are in the right place," said Cobo.
"I wanted to find a way for us to capture a photo of us together even though we can't technically be together," she added.
Cobo wants others to be mindful that soldiers make sacrifices and so do their families.
"We're just holding it all together. It's a sacrifice amongst everybody," she added.
She also encourages people to be kind to one another because you never know the battles someone is fighting.
"I remember the day when I dropped him off with his unit to leave. I remember driving home. No one had any idea what I'm going through right now. It made me look around at all the other people around me. People go through so much in their lives and you would have no idea," said Cobo.

- Mr. Holness said the Task Force’s establishment follows Cabinet deliberations over the past two weeks on Jamaica’s recovery from the prevailing and projected economic fallout from COVID-19.
- In his remarks, Dr. Clarke said he is “highly confident” that the task Force “will be able to put together the contours around Jamaica’s economic recovery.”
Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Andrew Holness, has announced the establishment of a Cabinet-approved multi-sectoral Task Force to oversee Jamaica’s economic recovery from the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Speaking at a digital media briefing at the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) on Monday (April 27), Mr. Holness said the COVID-19 Economic Recovery Task Force will be chaired by Minister of Finance and the Public Service, Dr. the Hon. Nigel Clarke, who is one of several Cabinet members on the team.
The others are: Minister of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries, Hon. Audley Shaw; Minister of Tourism, Hon. Edmund Bartlett; Minister of Science, Energy and Technology, Hon. Fayval Williams; and Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation, Hon. Daryl Vaz.
Other stakeholder members are: Port Authority of Jamaica (PAJ) President and Chief Executive Officer, Professor Gordon Shirley; National Road Operating and Constructing Company Chief Executive Officer, Ivan Anderson; Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ) President, Keith Duncan; Jamaica Chamber of Commerce (JCC) President, Lloyd Distant Jr.; Jamaica Manufacturers and Exporters Association (JMEA) President, Richard Pandohie; and Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association (JHTA) President, Omar Robinson.
Also on the task force are: MSME Alliance President, Donovan Wignall; Jamaica Confederation of Trade Unions (JCTU) President, Helene Davis-White; Jamaica Agricultural Society (JAS) President, Lenworth Fulton; Business Process Industry Association of Jamaica (BPIAJ) President, Gloria Henry; former PSOJ Presidents, Joseph M. Matalon, Christopher Zacca, and William Mahfood; gender activist, Nadine Spence; hotelier, Adam Stewart; tourism attractions operator, John Byles; and member of Partnership for Jamaica, Professor Alvin Wint.
Mr. Holness said the Task Force’s establishment follows Cabinet deliberations over the past two weeks on Jamaica’s recovery from the prevailing and projected economic fallout from COVID-19.
This, he noted, has become imperative in light of the fact that “every measure that the Government has put in place to slow down movement [and further spread of the virus]… every curfew measure, every stay at home measure… slows down our economy.”
“It means that people will be out of work and out of a job [and] out of income…. frustration grows and then people [will eventually] say [that] the medicine is worse than the illness,” the Prime Minister said.
As such, Mr. Holness emphasised that “we have to figure out how to put in place measures that slow and control the [COVID-19] spread… whilst, at the same time, not doing irreparable damage to our economy.”
Against this background, he praised the private sector for being “an outstanding partner” and “very forthcoming” in wanting to be a part of the national recovery planning and efforts.
This, Mr. Holness noted, through the provision of resources and other forms of support to many Jamaicans, citing their involvement and pivotal role in the national partnership mechanism, Partnership for Jamaica.
“Last week, I had a discussion with the Partnership for Jamaica… and they too have said that they would want to play a critical role. So, the Cabinet has decided to put that mechanism together… now [that] we’re going to be shifting some attention to the economic recovery,” the Prime Minister said.
Mr. Holness said, however, that the Task Force’s engagements will have to be done in conjunction with the Ministry of Health and Wellness.
This, he indicated, “because all the economic activities that we are going to do should be viewed through the prism of the Ministry.”
In his remarks, Dr. Clarke said he is “highly confident” that the task Force “will be able to put together the contours around Jamaica’s economic recovery.”
Reiterating the health and economic impact and implications associated COVID-19, he emphasised that “we want to make sure that the decisions that are made… don’t have long term or permanent economic damage.”
“We want to ensure that we can always recover economically… even [as] we [are instituting measures] to deal with the health effect of the crisis,” the Minister said.
Additionally, Dr. Clarke said “we want to position ourselves to be able to take advantage of the opportunities that a post-covid-19 global economy offers, as well as to ensure that we take account of the realities of post-covid-19.”

One of the options that homeowners consider when selling their house or flat is to list it for auction. This can seem an attractive prospect because of the potential for competitive bidding, where eager buyers keep trying to outbid each other with ever-higher prices. If you’re looking to sell for a market competitive price, pursuing an auction can be a viable choice.
However, auctioning your property can also be a risky move because you are effectively gambling that you will get more for your home than the minimum opening bid that you choose. That means there’s no guarantee of a high sale price (or indeed a sale at all), which can be a concern for some home owners.
Before deciding to sell at auction or pursuing another route to sale – for example through an estate agent or a property buying company – it’s useful to know exactly how the often-lengthy auction process works, as well as more about its pros and cons.
What’s the process for selling a house or flat at auction?
Auctioning begins by contacting a licensed property auctioneer and having one or more conduct a free appraisal on your house or flat. They will assess the property and tell you a suggested minimum opening bid price, or reserve price, and should also disclose their fees for auctioning.
After you decide on an individual auctioneer to handle your property, you’ll be required to sign terms of engagement – the initial document that gives the auctioneer the right to oversee selling your house. Once this is signed the auctioneer will enter your home into their catalogue of available properties that will then be distributed to potential buyers. They will handle all the marketing of the listing, such as placing ads in newspapers, property websites, and more (if appropriate).
While the marketing is happening, your solicitor will put together a legal pack of documents with important legal details about the property.
Once the auction date is set you will have to confirm the reserve price, and this could change from the initial suggestion depending on how much interest your listing is generating.
At auction, buyers will be able to make bids either in-person or off-site by phone or the internet. The auctioneer will ask for a bid on the reserve price, and then hopefully other buyers will make higher bids until nobody offers any more bids. At this point the auctioneer will bang their gavel, and this marks the creation of a binding legal contract to buy your house.
All that’s left after the auction is complete is for your auctioneer and solicitor to work on the necessary legal paperwork on the sale, which can take about 28 days. However, this schedule can potentially be shortened or lengthened depending on your needs.
Is auctioning my home the right choice?
The most enticing aspect of auctioning your home can be the potential for a final sale price that is higher than whatever opening minimum bid you set. When a property is particularly attractive to prospective buyers it can lead to competitive bidding. This happens when at least two buyers have strong interest in buying, outbidding each other with ever-increasing purchase bids. In this regard auctioning can be a great move.
However, auctioning does not ensure that you’ll get competitive bidding (you may receive no bids at all). Some homeowners set the reserve price at a level lower than they really want to accept, because they hope that the low price will lure many bidders who will then try to outbid each other for a much greater final sale price. But if that doesn’t happen you could end up accepting a lower value than your financial goal.
Another pro of auctioning a house is the fact that you’ll be given a fixed date for when the auction will happen, giving you certainty on the date that it will sell.
But, as described above, the auction process for properties can be very lengthy, so it might not be ideal if you are looking to sell your house or flat quickly. You’ll also have to pay the auctioneer fees for handling the sale, which will subtract from the overall amount of money you receive once the sale is complete.
What alternatives are there to auctioning my home?
You could try selling your house through the traditional route of working with an estate agent. This has the benefit of having a professional handle the listing and viewings of your property, which can help to significantly reduce the hassle of selling.
Selling through an estate agent means you will also have to pay also pay fees when the home sells, which is not the best choice if you want to make the most money possible from selling.
Another alternative is working with a property buying company like LDN Properties to sell your house or flat directly to them. This cuts out the middleman, because with this option you’ll be given a quick and competitive offer for selling without having to pay any fees.
Every home sale is unique and depends on a host of factors, including whether the owner of the house or flat needs a quick sale, or their financial needs when selling. Therefore, deciding whether auctioning is right will depend on consideration of these factors.

Out now is a new, energetic street-anthem contender titled “718”. The song is by rapper Brad Hester. It was produced by Blasian Beats.
With lines like “future still bright even when they cut the lights/”, the song takes on his personal struggles while also remaining at least remotely motivational.
“I wanted to be descriptive about my hardships in the hope that it could help someone else get through their own, knowing someone was in that same spot before“, Brad says of this record.

By WILL WHATLEY, Alabama Daily News
When Alabama Republicans meet Saturday for their annual summer meeting, party members will consider whether to change the way delegates for presidential candidates are decided.
Currently, delegates are elected by voters during the GOP primary leading up to a presidential election. The proposed bylaw would instead give the authority of choosing delegates to the Alabama Republican Party’s State Executive Committee.
In an email obtained by Alabama Daily News, ALGOP leaders say the change will be advantageous in a number of ways. Joseph Fuller, chairman of the Alabama Republican Party State Executive Committee Bylaws Committee, said that only a handful of states use the same primary ballot system that Alabama does.
According to Fuller, the proposed amendment will de-clutter the primary ballot, provide verified, accurate vote totals and make campaigning easier for those running to be a delegate. The change “gives those who work hard in our party a great opportunity to be rewarded,” Fuller said.
The amendment was proposed by ALGOP by-laws committee member Elbert Peters. The by-laws committee unanimously approved the proposal.
Not all party members are happy with the change, though. Recently, a flyer was mailed to the 467-member executive committee criticizing the proposal, saying it will allow “a select few” to “hand pick the delegates for the Presidential Convention, eliminating your right to cast a vote or be elected as a delegate.”
Fuller and party chairwoman Terry Lathan pushed back against the flyer in an email to party members this week. About the flyer, Fuller said “[t]his information is completely false, and frankly — it’s a lie. Do not listen to or believe information from this anonymous source.”
Lathan said, “The author, or authors, sent you a card of misinformation.”
“Any registered voter that would like to run for a delegate may qualify without party if the bylaw is amended or not. Someone has purposely shared misinformation. Also, the chairman has no authority to stop any submitted changes going to the body. The state party members make the full decisions and always have — not a select few which is another falsehood. It will be thoroughly explained at our meeting.”
According to an internal poll conducted by Lathan, 56% of the State Executive Committee support the change while 44% oppose. For the amendment to pass, 67% of committee members must approve the amendment.
In 2016, Alabama sent a total of 50 delegates to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Of those 50, 47 (26 at-large delegates, 21 congressional district delegates) were elected in the state primary on March 1, 2016. The three remaining delegates were members of the Republican National Committee.
Any qualified, registered voter in Alabama can run to be a delegate and there are no limits on how many people can run to be a delegate. Before the primary, each potential delegate pledges their support to a presidential candidate. Alabama GOP rules state that delegates must vote at the convention for the candidate they pledged their support to unless that candidate releases them to vote for another candidate.
Lathan goes on to say the decision on how the party elects its presidential delegates “is 100% in your hands and always has been. The will of the body will rule, not a single person or select group. The unknown authors of your card know this as well. I regret that someone has tried to manipulate our members by purposefully sending you inaccurate information.”

Assistant A&E Editor
Post Theater Company will be beginning its season with Suzan Lori-Parks’ play “Venus.” The play focuses on the true-life story of Saartjie Baartman, known as Venus, who was part of the Hottentot tribe in Africa, which scientists in the early 1800s thought was the missing link between humans and apes.
Being a part of this tribe meant that she had a really big bottom and because of this, she is bought and put on display in a freak show in London, leading her to fame, said Assistant Director of the play, Ben Brinton, a junior Musical Theater major. The play follows her experience from Africa to her death in Paris, in and out of chronological order.
This play has been in the works from as early as last semester. “We had auditions in the spring,” Brinton said. “The director and I have been preparing all summer and we started rehearsing on the third day of classes.”
Brinton said that rehearsals are going great and that working with director Melissa Crespo, who currently works as a director for ABC Television Networks, has been “amazing.” “She is a genius and uses a lot of stuff that is taught in the school to put the show together in a very unique way,” Brinton said.
Oya Bangura, a sophomore Acting and Musical Theater sophomore, will be playing the lead role of Venus. Bangura claims she is very excited to star in this show and she is hoping it will let her grow as an actress. Emily Banks, a junior Musical Theater major, will be playing one of the other lead roles in the play.
Not everything is perfect though; Brinton admits that it’s been hard, particularly for juniors, to get into the swing of rehearsing constantly.
“The junior year in the theater department is the hardest year,” he said. “We are rehearsing five days a week, four hours a day sometimes even eight hours, so trying to handle classes and jump directly into a show at the same time has been a little hard for some.”
When asked what Brinton liked most about working on this show as the assistant director, he stated that he enjoys the artistic freedom that directing gives him.
“I enjoy how you get to make your own parameters really and make the script yours,” he said.
With an extremely busy schedule, Crespo didn’t have much time to sit down and talk about the play but she claims to be extremely content wit directing this play and she can’t wait to see the final result.
Venus will be showing at the Little Theater on Oct. 9 to 11 and on Oct. 15 to 18. All shows will be at 8 p.m. except for Sunday, which will be at 3 p.m.

Weak Gun Rules “Kill Our Children,” as the Saying Goes
St. Louis Mayor Jones and Representative Bush highlighted the issue of lax gun laws in Missouri and the US, emphasizing the need for stronger measures to prevent gun violence. Missouri’s high rates of gun deaths were cited, and the failure to restrict minors from carrying guns was mentioned as a common-sense solution.
The legislators criticized lawmakers who prioritize the interests of the NRA over the safety of children. The Gun Violence Archive recorded over 310 mass shootings in the US this year.
Despite limited political momentum for gun safety legislation, the officials called for action to save lives and protect children. The mayor expressed condolences and urged parents to hold their children close in the wake of the tragedy.

Imagine that you want to park your car into a very tight spot. Feeling nervous already? Now imagine that you have a trailer attached to your car and you don’t have a parking assistant? You’re also trying to park in front of a group of horses, but they’re not just a regular group of horses — they laugh maniacally at your every move. Is that too much to imagine? Watch Volkswagen’s hilarious recent ad released earlier this year.
It’s Thursday, and that means #ThrowBrandThursday delivers yet another dose of amusement that you might need to get through a day so close to the weekend. Titled “Laughing Horses” (or “Lachenden Pferde” in German), the automaker’s spot, made by Grabarz & Partner, promotes VW Tiguan‘s optional Trailer Assist system in a very funny way. Although the ad was created to present a useful feature, the Hamburg-based agency decided it would use a band of weird horses as parking judges, only for them to burst out laughing in the center of the campaign.
A man failing to reverse into a parking space with a trailer attached proves to be the trigger for silly and contagious animal laughter. While the driver’s frustration intensifies, the animals become more and more amused. But what happens to their epic fun party once a Tiguan driver arrives up the driveway and tries his maneuvers? See for yourselves!
Even though the ad presents plenty of reasons for the viewers to have a good laugh, VW was worried that this hilarious video might not be such a good idea, especially because of the emissions scandal the company was involved in. Taking these concerns into account, the brand decided to first test the video before publishing it.
Since the results came back positive, the ad was officially released, and became unexpectedly viral on Youtube.de. As the most successful German VW viral advert of all time, it gathered more than nine million clicks in the first three days of its launch, and over 40 million views in total. Its viral success made Volkswagen re-distribute the commercial to TV.
This isn’t the only stunt in which VW featured peculiar animals with human features. Besides the horse video, the agency’s portfolio includes yet another witty ad, only this time it depicts sheep, which are quieter than those crazy loud horses.
