Different results using the same markers, just different papers.
Check out the newest Paint-A-Flower stamp set from Altenew.
|Paint-A-Flower: Rosa Floribunda|
Welcome to my stop on the Paint-A-Flower: Rosa Floribunda Outline Stamp Set Release Blog Hop starting at the Altenew Card Blog. You should be arriving from the blog of Jenny Colacicco...I have the full HOP LOST at the end of this post.
I enjoyed a couple of relaxing coloring sessions using Artist markers and the Paint-A-Flower: Rosa Floribunda. I was testing out different papers to see how different brands blended as well as checking the vibrancy of the markers. To keep the game fair, all markers colors were the same for both papers. The results were very interesting!
This first card has a strip of Staples Ultra Premium Matte Photo Cardstock (sent to me by ENNA @RITZYHAG, a dear IG friend), which I stamped and colored the PAF: Rosa Floribunda... The BOLD colors was appealing, however, I found it difficult to blend the colors. My blending is never smooth, but the color wasn't moving at all.
Ink Sprays: Pure White, Iridescent
This next one is stamped and colored on Neenah 110# Classic Crest...Not as vibrant, and still having trouble with my color blends, HA! Must have been off my color game :)))
So which cardstock is your go-to for Alcohol Marker coloring?
Your next stop on the hop is Virginia Lu

It's fascinating to see the difference between the two different papers, and thank you for showing us your results. It's helpful to realise that even someone as experienced as you has times when you aren't entirely happy with your results - even when they look fantastic to me!
A beautiful set and card!
Such fun colors and designs!!!!!
Wonderful way of incorporating neutral colored pattern paper with the vibrantly colored roses. Thanks for the inspiration!
Marisela Delgado said: So pretty. email@example.com
Great card. Thanks for the inspiration
Like the bold flowers and backgrounds!
Gorgeous cards Laura Jane! Gorgeous colours and wonderfully clever designs to showcase these beautiful roses!! Thanks so much for the grat inspiration. Stay safe! :)
Gorgeous cards. I love the vivid colors and I love this wonderful PAF Rosa Floribunda set.
Very pretty and bright cards
I actually like the paper Ritzi sent you better. I am not so much a student of art that I can point out exactly why but the coloring feels smooth like polished stone.
Those luscious flowers look great with the blue backgrounds firstname.lastname@example.org
Both cards are equally as lovely however I like the one colored on Neenah..partly because that's what I primarily use, unless I have Spectrum Noir paper.
Pretty designs! I love the bold colors on your cards!
Such bright vibrant colors on your wonderful Altenew inspiration.
Such bright colors! Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoy your happy, colorful cards. Fabulous roses!
I love how bright and bold your cards are. Thank you for inspiring me to work outside of my comfort zone.
Nice layers and combination. Great project shares for the set.

Jim McInally was left disappointed following Peterhead’s 2-0 loss to play-off rivals Queen’s Park on Saturday, saying afterwards that he could ‘rant and rave’ at his side in the dressing room, but hinting it would be far better to pick themselves up and move on.
The Blue Toon’s home form, which has seen them fail to win any of their last five at the Balmoor, was a talking point post-game for the manager, but he said that he felt it just was not the North-east club’s day.
“We did shoot ourself in the foot, especially with the first goal. We gave them all the encouragement they needed,” he admitted.
“I kind of got the feeling early doors when we missed the first chance that it might be one of them days, and it certainly turned out to be that because how we can get through the game and don’t score is beyond belief really,” he said.
“I know that they were the better side, but we never gave ourself any chance of any encouragement because we never gave ourself that goal to try and give us a wee’ lift – and we had players that just didn’t play well either,” McInally added.
In their last five fixtures at home, the Blue Toon have also only converted one chance, something that the boss is not overly concerned about, saying after the game: “It’s not as if we’re not making chances.”
He, however, conceded that some of his players need to be offering more consistency on the pitch.
The result means that the Blue Toon find themselves in fourth place, the last of the play-off spots, but two games ahead of fifth place Elgin, who will look to overtake the Balmoor club when the sides meet in what could be a decisive game on March 9.
Ahead of that, though, the Blue Toon will travel to bottom side Clyde to get their promotion race back on track.
“We just need to get on with it,” McInally said.

National Pie day was perfect for a group celebration. Seven of us get together every other month for a dinner party, so we turned this month’s dinner into a pie party! They were sports when I made them pose with their yummy pies. We had three savory pies and four sweet pies. Perfect for dinner and dessert! We were all stuffed by the end of the night!
1. ME: Barefoot Contessa’s Apple Crisp (I turned it into a pie) / 2. LAUREN (also the host): Mocha Fudge Pie (e-mail me for the recipe) / 3. LAURA: Mini Blueberry Pies (e-mail me for the recipe) / 4. TOBE: Modified version of this Ricotta Spinach Pie (added cherry tomatoes and zucchini) / 5. MORGAN: Martha Stewart Chicken and Kale Hand Pies with a Flaky Pie Dough recipe and add cheddar / 6.

MORGAN Aero 8
Generations Timeline, Specs and Pictures
Classic-styled open top roadster with modern tech underneath, that’s what you get from the fifth generation Morgan Aero 8, which got unveiled at the Geneva International Motors Show 2015, 15 years since the launch of the original model.
Styling wise, the 2015 Morgan Aero 8 remained quite conservative, coming with the same long, fast and low shoulder lines, a slightly bigger grille, Mini headlights, slightly reshaped bumpers, LED lightning and clam shell boot lid that hides the luggage compartment as well as the fuel filling cap.
The reshaped interior comes with a new dashboard arrangement, wood trimmings, fine leather upholstery and a new air conditioning unit. Optionals include a touchscreen infotainment system, low slung carbon fiber seats as well as bespoke detailing packs.
Mechanically, the 2015 Morgan Aero 8 gained a stiffer aluminum chassis, all new suspension, an anti-roll bar and a new BMW limited slip differential. ABS, power steering, cruise control and airbags are also present to ensure more comfort and safety.
In 2008, Morgan Motor Company celebrated a century of existence and car manufacturing with an upgraded Morgan Aero 8.
When Morgan introduced the Aero 8, it was a revolution for the small British carmaker. Its chassis was no longer entirely made out of wood. The engineers decided to give aluminum a chance and bonded to the old-school frame made out of real ash wood. In 2008, the carmaker decided to take a step further and improve the vehicle.
From the outside, the car’s curved retro-style look remained almost unchanged, but an important change was made at the front. Morgan’s designers re-positioned the headlights so they won’t look like they were cross-eyed. There were some larger air-scoops when compared with its predecessor and a restyled back. On the front fenders’ sides, the designers cut six vents to release the air trapped in the wheel well and decrease the aerodynamic lift of the front end. The side exhausts remained in the same place. In the rear, the trunk lid was slightly lifted and enhanced with a duck-tail. These resulted in a larger trunk and increased downforce.
The interior featured the same old-school style with the dials mounted in the dash panel, not into a separate cluster. Depending on the options, the panel could have been made from aluminum or covered with leather. Morgan offered the Aero 8 as a luxurious roadster or a more spirited one.
Under the hood, the British engineers installed a 4.8-liter engine from BMW, which replaced the previous 4.4-liter V8 from the German carmaker. It was paired to a 6-speed manual or to a 6-speed automatic.
Morgan made another step into the new technological era and introduced a facelifted version for the Aero 8 in 2004.
In 2004, the British manufacturer decided to set foot in the U.S. market. It introduced the Aero 8 facelift at the Los Angeles Auto Show and promised to deliver 50 cars per year. It was a unique vehicle for a market where the retro-design theme started to catch-up and made more customers happy.
Despite its cross-eye look, the Aero 8 featured a unique design on the market. Its recessed grille, behind the front fenders, was unusual for any car. But the carmaker didn’t take its inspiration from the world outside its factory but from the past British roadsters. The car was available as a coupe and an open-top roadster.
Inside, the manufacturer took its inspiration from the past. It installed the instrument cluster in front of the driver, not in the middle of the dash panel. The carmaker didn’t want to use plastic to mimic wood and installed a solid wood trim at the upright windshield base. Some naturalists would scream against the use of genuine leather. The designers sacrificed some cows for the sake of the luxurious, yet sporty, bucket seats. Morgan Aero 8 was not only a luxury car; it was a fast one.
Under the hood, Morgan installed a 4.4-liter BMW V8 engine used on vehicles such as the BMW X5 SUV. Since the car was very light, it could smoke many high-performance cars such as a Porsche 911 or a Mercedes-Benz SL500.
With a liquid-metal looking bodywork, the Aero 8 is arguably one of the best retro-future looking sports cars out there.
Primarily notable for being the first new Morgan design since the 40’s, the Aero is built on a lightweight resistant aluminum alloy chassis unlike Morgan’s previously released vehicles which sport a flexing steel base. The 2-door convertible was launched with a BMW-supplied 4.4-liter V8 power unit linked to a 6-speed manual transmission made by Getrag. The new Aero 8 got criticized for its “crosseyed” headlights, with the automaker saying it wasn’t a design error but a solution to decrease air resistance.

If your love for Italian sportscars isn’t confined to four wheels, ditch the car altogether and ride on two wheels, without sacrificing the style that made Lamborghini famous. I’m talking about the official Lamborghini hoverboard made by TwoDots, which could rank as one of the best hoverboards on looks alone. It’s sleek, it’s fast and it goes with the car in your garage. (Hopefully)
Look at that beauty of a hoverboard. Those sleek lines look amazing.
The Lamborghini Hoverboard is a sleek 8.5-inch wheel off-road hoverboard with some decent specs to match those good looks. I love that Lamborghini hoverboard look. I can easily say that it’s the best-looking hoverboard I have ever encountered. Plus, it wouldn’t be Lamborghini if it wasn’t the fastest hoverboard you’ll come across.
It’s got dual 400W powerful motors, a comfortable max speed of 9 miles per hour, and several other nice features that are worthy of a hoverboard that bears the Italian auto maker’s brand. You really feel the power of those dual motors on this performance hoverboard with Bluetooth.
Spoiler alert: This hoverboard surpassed my expectations. Read on for my Lamborghini Hoverboard review below to see why.
Plastic Shell Scratches Easily
Considering The Speed, I Expected A Faster Charge
Low Maximum Speed
This cool hoverboard is durable and built to last; however, that plastic shell, as pretty as it looks, gets dinged up easily. Because of that, I would recommend this hoverboard for users who are already experienced and not likely to scuff up the shell as much. Aside from that, the build quality here is solid, and this vehicle will stand up to a lot of tough riding. Weighing in at 43 pounds, you can carry it when you need to, but at that weight, it feels a bit too heavy.
You have to give TwoDots credit. It’s not easy to capture that Lamborghini style in off-road hoverboard form, but somehow they did just that. This is a self-balancing hoverboard that stands out from the crowd, making heads turn. It has bright, stylized lights modeled after the headlights on a Lamborghini Huracan and all of the other detailing is just right. It’s probably the coolest designed hoverboard online.
Getting a hoverboard with Bluetooth speakers and other nice features was a real surprise as well. It sounds amazing. Connecting to your smartphone with a mobile app or Bluetooth is super easy. using your smartphone, you can control the maximum speed, driving force, steering sensitivity, and more. This self-balancing scooter is a bit pricey due to the Lamborghini branding, but you get a lot for your money. This hoverboard has a nice large platform so that you can get the best foot position possible.
The motors are responsive and fast, which, again, is what I would expect from a showy vehicle like this one. Those 8.5-inch tires make the height perfect for riding. The dual 400-watt motors kick in from the moment you climb on. It has a max speed of 9 MPH, which may not seem like a lot, but when the wind is in your face, with that power underneath you, it’s all you need. It has a cool self-balancing mode that is great for those who are still getting to know hoverboards. This means that this performance hoverboard balances itself when you turn it on, giving you a stable platform to step onto.
This hoverboard delivers just the right amount of power, ease of use, and stability. It’s a smooth and comfortable ride that users of all ages are going to enjoy. On flat surfaces, this model performed excellently. And since those 8.5-inch tires are made for off-roading, we had to test them out in nature as well. It did not disappoint. It performed well on grass and uneven terrain full of sticks and twigs. It has a bit of trouble on wet ground, but that’s not unexpected. You’ll be impressed at the quality of the ride here, whether you are on the sidewalk or in the forest. With this self-balancing scooter, you get both a smooth and stylish ride.
The LED lights will light your way at night, and it can’t be understated how cool they look. It was a good choice to model the lights after the Lamborghini Huracan. It gives this hoverboard a serious attitude.
This vehicle’s self-balancing mode is great for beginners and allows the hoverboard to self-level, making it easier to get on and ride. It’s a nice feature that means that riders of any skill level can enjoy this hoverboard.
The Lamborghini hoverboard has a maximum speed of 9 miles per hour and a range of about 9.32 miles. That’s fast enough to have fun and far enough to collect your friends and have a great time. If you want a longer range, check out our Tomoloo Self-balancing hoverboard review,
With a charging time of 3.5 hours, that’s not the best, but I’ve seen worse as well. It’s nothing to complain about, considering all of the other features this hoverboard packs in.
The Lamborghini hoverboard has large 8.5-inch hoverboard alloy wheels that handle great in both on and off-road conditions, gripping the terrain nicely. This 8.5-inch wheels off-road terrain hoverboard just plain performs. This model has no LEDs on wheels, but it doesn’t need them. It’s already a stunner. And if you prefer a more off-road experience, the 10.5-inch tires on the Segway Mini Pro should help with that.
The maximum weight capacity is 265 pounds, which is the same offered by the Halo Rover Hoverboard. At this weight capacity, it can handle most riders.
This is an 8.5-inch Lamborghini hoverboard with Lamborghini branding. So it wins you over from the start with that amazing style and design. We can say with confidence that it has a feature set and performance worthy of the name. This self-balancing scooter is a lot of fun, and even though the Lamborghini hoverboard price is a bit expensive, it is well worth it. You get a hoverboard for kids with a Bluetooth speaker and led lights, plus a lot of other great features. You have to be able to play music, after all.
You can expect a smooth ride and a great off-road experience. This is, in fact, the luxury sports car of hoverboards. It may even be better than an electric scooter or an electric skateboard, just for the design alone, if you love Lamborghini. It is one of the better-performing models that we have tested lately. I wouldn’t go so far as to call this Bluetooth hoverboard a racing performance hoverboard, but it feels like one, even at only 9 miles per hour.
If this isn’t enough, they make a version that is a gold hoverboard with Bluetooth as well. Who knew that Lambo hoverboards were this cool?
And it won’t explode, so no worries there. It is UL 2272 tested and certified, meeting the latest safety standards. Hoverboards are great gifts for kids. You can check out our Best hoverboards For Kids buying guide to learn more. Then check out our Best Hoverboards list for all of the best vehicles on two wheels. Always make sure to buy a UL 2272-certified hoverboard. That way, you know that your hoverboard is safe.
The Lamborghini hoverboard is a brand cooperation product from Lamborghini and Twodots. ASIWO is the authorized seller via Twodots and their factory is also the manufacturer of the Lamborghini Hoverboard.

This is a bone of contention for No Kill and shelters. Merritt Clifton has the explanation. May not be what we want to hear but reality often is that way.
The common element may be simply that agencies have insufficiently explained to rescuers how shelter space is allocated.
The trick, for animal control shelter management, is to have adequate capacity to handle whatever crisis comes. This is often complicated because many animal control shelters are too small for their communities––even with more nonprofit humane societies, no-kill sanctuaries, and shelterless rescues helping to house impounded animals than ever before. The total capacity of every dog and cat shelter and rescue in the U.S. today is under 500,000. Total shelter arrivals run close to eight million, 16 times the available cage and run space.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - The adoptive parents of a missing Rowan County teenager have pleaded not guilty to several fraud charges.
The Charlotte Observer reports (https://bit.ly/1lB7aDy) that Casey and Sandy Parsons entered their pleas in federal court in Greensboro, during their arraignment Wednesday on charges of tax fraud, mail fraud, theft of government funds and identity theft.
Court records show their jury trial is scheduled for Sept. 8 in Greensboro.
According to court documents, the couple continued to collect government benefits, more than $12,000, to help raise Erica Parsons, even though she was no longer living with them. No one is sure exactly how long Erica has been missing. When her 20-year-old brother reported her disappearance on July 30, 2013, he said she actually had gone missing a year and a half before that.

Brad and I stopped at a Thrift Shop this week-end because I was looking for plastic hangers...and this one spot I visit usually has them for $0.05/per.
Well, they didn't have any hangers this time....but they did have this wonderful basket which I am so in love with and loads of embroidery thread for SALE.
I was seriously on my way to Michael's to buy embroidery thread because I needed new colors for my TWIG CROSSES. We've started CHRISTmas crafting over here :)
And our avocado pits have roots and are ready to plant.

ENGLEWOOD — Antioch Community Social Service Agency will bring trick-or-treating to Kennedy-King College this year.
And this year’s fest will include “trunk or treating.”
Trunk-or-treat serves as an alternative to traditional trick-or-treating — instead of kids going door-to-door in their neighborhood, pre-approved community members will fill the trunks of their cars with candy at Kennedy-King College, 6301 S. Halsted St., for kids to select from with adult supervision.
In addition to the treats, there will be a petting zoo, games, storytelling from the Chicago Public Library and more.
Joe Cook, youth pastor at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, said Kennedy-King College was their preferred choice because of its central location within Englewood. This year they are anticipating 750-1,000 participants, a significant increase from their typical 500.
“We’re just creating a safe alternative from going door-to-door in the Englewood community.” Cook said. “With the recent violence in Chicago, especially in the Englewood community, we don’t even want to risk it if we can. If we can reduce everything to a single location that is what we are going to do.”
Cook said the cars filled with candy are from volunteers from the church, Residents Association of Greater Englewood and other community organizations. He estimated 50 cars will be have candy for kids. People interested in volunteering can call Cook at 773-592-6550.
Providing kids a safe, fun outlet as opposed to less desirable options is one of the underlying goals of the event as well.
“I feel like we have to reach the young generation and get them early on and keep them on a good path. And we also want to find an alternative to the street life,” Cook said. “My main focus is always to ignite, excite and just give the kids something to run and grasp for.”
Asiaha Butler, president of R.A.G.E., said growing up in Englewood she used to trick-or-treat on South Aberdeen Street. But in recent years, she hasn’t gotten any visits from trick-or-treaters and understands some parents may be “leery” about going door-to-door in the neighborhood. She said R.A.G.E. will be partnering with the church for the third time this Harvest Fest.
“This is just an opportunity to show our young people that we understand that Halloween can be scary for a lot of families in Englewood and this gives them an alternative,” Butler said.

East and West Deadlock in Syria
What took place in Geneva? Has there been any special development in the US and Russia's positions with regard to Syria? What are the components of differences in the views of Moscow and Washington regarding the transitional government in Syria?
Contradicting reports have been published about the Geneva Conference. Lakhdar Brahimi, the UN special envoy to Syria, stated that no agreement was made between Moscow and Washington about Syria. This is while the spokesperson of the US State Department and also some western sources talk about progress in the Geneva talks.
To clarify this point, it must be added that Lakhdar Brahimi, in the first stage, stated that no agreement was made, but at the same time he added that other countries, especially the US and Russia, reiterated the need for a political solution in Syria. Considering Brahimi's interpretation of the Geneva agreement, it can be comprehended that this position is more inclined towards the interpretation of the western countries and not Moscow's. It means that a government must come to power in Syria that should have complete authority and under such circumstances Bashar Assad might symbolically remain in power or resign. No word has been said in this regard. If Moscow has agreed with a transitional government with complete authority, then it has, in fact, separated its position from the government of Syria.
In the statement issued by Russia following this conference, contradicting issues were proposed; first that the people of Syria should decide on Bashar Assad remaining or resigning from power which means no change has been made in their position. Secondly, the diplomatic efforts made by Lakhdar Brahimi were defended and supported. Under such circumstances, an analyst might speculate that explicit agreements have been made between Moscow and Washington, but they have agreed not to discuss them or reflect upon them.
What was on the agenda of yesterday's Arab League meeting?
Yesterday, the ministers of the Arab League, upon the invitation of Lebanon due to the pouring of Syrian refugees into this country which has created financial, political, and social problems there, met in Cairo to decide about methods for Arab governments to give aid in this regard. Under these conditions, the issue of Syria would certainly be discussed. But it does not seem that this meeting would make any special decision until a major solution is achieved.
Qatar has talked about the necessity of dispatching Arab peace-keeping forces to Syria. Is there a possibility of such a measure being taken considering the fact that Bashar Assad is still in power? What are the differences between these Arab forces, which Doha has proposed, and the UN peace-keeping forces?
It seems that considering the problems in Syria, no decision has yet been made in this regard. But most of the analysts state that the flood of Syrian refugees has exerted pressure on many countries like Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, and to some extent Iraq. In line with Qatar, Jordan has also made a new statement which is significant. Although the King of Jordan has attempted to remain neutral with regard to Syrian issues, he has recently stated that all possibilities, including the overthrow of the government and the issue of the fate of chemical weapons, are on the table.
Based on the latest reports, the number of Syrian refugees has reached 600,000. Could you explain the political and financial damages caused by this incident for neighboring countries like Turkey and Lebanon?
The issue of the refugees contains many humanitarian dimensions. These refugees are present both inside and outside of Syria. Based on statistics, the number of refugees outside of Syria is between 600,000 and 800,000. This number only includes those who have been registered and many of the refugees are not registered for they are financially well-off and can afford to stay in hotels. The number of refugees inside Syria is one million to 1.5 million who have migrated from one region to another. From a human rights perspective, this issue has created many problems, so much so that even Switzerland intends to present a proposal to the UN asking this organization to deliver the matter to the war crimes tribunal. But considering Russia's right of veto, it seems impossible that this issue will seriously be considered until an agreement is made.
Have the efforts made by the Arabs led to negative results and the unaffiliated militias coming to power? What is your prediction of the status of the Alawis in Syria after Bashar Assad?
Many issues in Syria, like the protests and the terrorist acts, have been mixed together. One of the problems that the world is faced with is that it doesn’t know who will replace Assad and in the hands of which opposition faction the political and military power will be. These vague issues have caused this trend to continue as it has.
The Alawis have different positions. Many of them support the government and some move alongside the opposition. The West stresses the rights of minorities. The Christians, the Alawis, and the Druzes generally support the government (of course, Walid Jumblatt, who is a Lebanese Druze, always sends messages to the Syrian Druzes advising them to stand with the revolution and the people against the government).

A recent national survey commissioned by TeleNav examined Americans’ attachment to mobile phones and the results showed that we are willing to give up many joys in life over our beloved mobile devices. So just how attached to mobile phones have we become?
According to the study, guilty pleasures were among the higher rated items that people would be willing to give up for a week over their mobile phone such as alcohol (70%), chocolate (63%), caffeine (55%) and even sex (33%).
As a PR professional, I consider my mobile phone to be a luxury item that allows me the freedom to step away from my computer while still remaining connected to my clients, family and friends, and the world-at-large. In the ever moving fast paced world of PR, I hold my cell phone in high regard and consider it a necessary tool to perform my daily tasks. But would I give up some of life’s greatest pleasures to in order to keep it? Chances are, probably not.
Others, however, seem to place their iPhone, Blackberry or Android higher on the priority list. In fact, they are even willing to go as far as to give up exercise (54%), shoes (21%) and their toothbrush (22%) all before parting ways with their mobile phone. Health and hygiene is now second to mobile phones? Maybe it’s time to draw the line.
But it doesn’t stop just there. The impact of mobile phone on our lives is becoming personal. From deciding who would make a good match for us (83% of iPhone users thought other iPhone users would make the best romantic partners) to the way we communicate an end to a relationship (18% of smartphone users have ended a relationship via voicemail, text message, email, Facebook update or Twitter post), it’s seemingly apparent mobile phones have become as important to us as our loved ones. Or perhaps even more so as 22% of smartphone users even said they would rather go a week without seeing their significant other than surrender their phone. And they say chivalry is dead.
Advancements in technology have allowed us many things, including our cell phones. And there’s no denying that they have become a part of our daily lives. But before you read another email at the dinner table, or reach for your mobile phone before stepping foot out of bed in the morning, consider this: just what would you be willing to give up. You make the call.

What's the difference between the FOTRIC 346A and FLIR E8XT handheld infrared thermal cameras?
|FOTRIC 346A Thermal Camera
|FLIR E8XT Thermal Camera
Key Feature Differences
Both FOTRIC 346A (384x288) and FLIR E8XT (320x240) are the high-resolution models of handheld industrial thermal cameras with durable rugged, durable, accurate and portable design. Same specifications include an accuracy rating of ±2°C or ±2%, thermal sensitivity of 0.05°C (50mK), picture-in-picture feature, adjustable level and span. a 2-year warranty on the cameras.
The top key difference between these two thermal cameras is the infrared detector resolution - Fotric 346A has 384x288 resolution compared to 320x240 resolution on the Flir E8XT (44% more pixels on Fotric 346A thermal camera). Fotric 346A also has better spatial resolution. It means the Fotric 346A thermal camera will provide higher quality and larger radiometric images, and can reveal more details.
The second key difference between them is the adjustability of the lens focus. Flir E8XT has a fixed focus lens which means you can only get a clear picture at a certain distance from the object. When the object is further away or closer to the camera you will get a blurred or vague thermal image. Fotric 346A thermal camera has an auto and manual adjustable focus lens and you can easily adjust the focus to get a precise view of the object of interest automatically or gently rotating the lens' ring. An adjustable focus lens is preferred by most professional inspectors to supply high-quality images to their customers. Some inspectors like the FLIR MSX feature on E8 which overlaps the objects' profile lines from the built-in visible light camera to the thermal image. The infrared image looks clearer with MSX, however, MSX has nothing to do with the focus. You may get an out-of-focus infrared image behind MSX. Sometimes the MSX can create misleading information, such as seeing through a glass window with a thermal camera.
The third key difference between them is the temperature measurement range - Fotric 346A thermal camera has -4°F to 2192°F compared to -4°F to 1022°F on the Flir E8 thermal imager. This means Fotric 346A can cover more application tasks, especially the inspection high-temperature objects.
The fourth key difference between them is the camera sensor frame rate - Fotric 346A has 30Hz compared to 9Hz on the Flir E8. This means you can see a smoother thermal image and video on Fotric 346A without ghosting.
The fifth key difference between them is the screen size - Fotric 346A has 5-inch full touch-screen 720P displayer compared to a 3-inch screen 240P on the Flir E8. This means Fotric 346A has a larger screen display and you can see the details better and easier. You can get a high-resolution thermal image display with Fotric 346A.
The sixth key difference between them is the laser light spot - Fotric 346A has the built-in laser pointer while Flir E8 doesn't. FLIR put the laser pointer on some of their expensive models, but not the Ex series. Laser point can be very helpful sometimes to show the customer whether the camera is observing. Fotric 346A thermal camera can measure the distance and area size with the aid of the laser.
The seventh key difference between them is the voice annotation function - it is available on Fotric 346A while not on Flir E8XT thermal camera. Instead of taking note by hand and write down the image file name number, it is sometimes very convenient to just record short audio as the note to the infrared image taken. The audio note is saved along with the thermal image and can be retrieved in the post-processing. Fotric 346A supports up to 200 seconds of voice annotation, and text annotation as well.
The eighth key difference between them is the video recording capability. Fotric 346A support both radiometric video recording and non-radiometric video recording while Flir E8XT thermal camera doesn't. FLIR supports video recording on some of their expensive models, but not the Ex series. Video recording can be very useful to quickly document the thermal condition of the objects, such as roof scan. Fotric 346A thermal camera can record hours long of non-radiometric video saved in *mp4 file and up to 3GB fully radiometric video at up to 16 frames per second.
Other Important Features
Both cameras have interchangeable Rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. While Flir E8XT thermal camera provides 1 battery per camera, Fotric 346A includes 3 Li-ion batteries ensure enough power for one-day job.
Visible light camera
Both Fotric 346A thermal camera and Flir E8 have a built-in visible light camera and can take picture-in-picture fusion image. A 13MP industrial grade HD digital camera is included on Fotric 346A while a 0.22MP digital camera is included on Flir E8-XT thermal camera. Fotric 346A also has the flashlight which can be helpful when you are inspecting in a dark or low-light environment, such as the attic. The flashlight can help shot a bright visible light image too.
Flir E8XT Wifi has a Wi-Fi connection with a smartphone or a tablet so the image can be streamed. The WiFi support on Fotric 346A will be available soon.
Movable Measurement Spot, Box or Line
While Flir E8 provides 1 center spot and 1 area box measurement tools. Fotric 346A thermal camera offers 8 spots, 8 area boxes, and 8 lines measurement tools, and all the spots, boxes and line can be movable to the area you desired. This can be very helpful when multiple areas are inspected simultaneously.
Internal memory in Flir E8 can store at least 500 sets of images. Fotric 346A provide 32GB memory SD card which can store over 2,000 sets of images. You can also change the memory SD card to larger storage for your Fotric 346A.
3 color palettes, Iron, Rainbow, and Gray, are available in Flir E8-XT. 15 standard color palettes and 15 inverted palettes are available in Fotric 346A thermal camera.

The jury decided not to award a Grand Prix in the Integrated category, and just four Titanium Lions were handed out with no UK winners among them.
Bartle Bogle Hegarty picked up a Silver Integrated Lion for the Guardian "three little pigs" spot.
Grey London was the only other UK winner, picking up a Bronze Lion in Integrated for the British Heart Foundation work "Vinnie".
The two front runners in the Integrated category R/GA’s Nike+ and Droga5’s Prudential spot "day one" both got Gold Lions. They were "exceptional" entries but did not merit a Grand Prix for Integrated, the jury president Rob Reilly, Crispin Porter & Bogusky’s worldwide chief creative officer, said.
One jury member explained that Nike+ was Grand Prix standard in Titanium but not in Integrated because "it didn’t feel like the entire case was as good as the idea, in the end".
Jury president Rob Reilly praised the Titanium Grand Prix winning entry, describing "fuel band" as an "incredible product, with incredible design and communications around it".
The US dominated the Titanium category with two Lions, alongside the Grand Prix, while Japan and Colombia also picked up a Titanium Lion.
Jury member, Fred Koblinger, the chief executive, BBDO Group Austria, defined the Titanium category as awarding work that is not purely advertising and which can be seen as "a game changer".

Melaka Butterfly & Reptile Sanctuary
The Melaka & Reptile Sanctuary has been in existence for more than 27 years. It houses more than 20 butterfly species as well as reptiles and some other species.
The sanctuary is built on 11 acres of land. It is divided into four sections namely butterfly park, reptile park, koi fish park and photo spots. The visitors can take the opportunity to photograph hundreds of beautiful butterflies, among them are Brooke and Malayan Birdwing species.
Besides butterflies, there are reptile animals like snakes from various species that can be found in this park. And when tired, the visito can relax the mind by looking at hundreds of koi fish swimming in the pool.

During my visit, I had the opportunity to get close to an iguana, monster toad, and a snake. The park exhibits the largest collection of reptiles, including more than twenty different species of snakes.
It looks a little shabby from the outside and some of the exhibits before you get into the main area are a bit run down. However once you walk into the butterfly area it improves quickly. It’s very nice to be surrounded by the butterflies (though you do have to watch your step!), and there are some really rare and beautiful ones including the Rajah Brooke. They even land on you.
The Portuguese settlement in Ujong Pasir is home to the Kristang (Serani) community in Melaka. The community is the descendants of the early Portugal settlers who intermarried with the Indians in Goa and then assimilated with the Malays in Malacca.
The Shore Sky Tower is the tallest building in Melaka. it has 43 floors. The roof top offers a view of up to 50 kilometers in every direction. You can see the entire Melaka town from here.


Police have responded to a shooting at Frederick Douglas high School on Gwynn Falls Parkway. Early reports say One adult male has been shot and one person is in custody. No report yet on the condition of the victim.
Unconfirmed reports say it was between 2 adult men in the school , the victim may be a coach. No reports of any children hurt

When the Covid-19 pandemic began in early 2020, no one knew the large-scale effects it would have on businesses, the economy, and everyday lifestyles.
One of the major pieces of legislation passed as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). These loans were offered to qualified small businesses and nonprofit organizations to help them navigate the economic uncertainty of the early pandemic while still paying their employees.
Many organizations are now finished spending their PPP funds and looking forward to what’s next. This article looks ahead for businesses and organizations operating in a swiftly changing business landscape, addresses PPP forgiveness, and highlights some recent legislation and regulations that will impact the coming months and years.
Business Operations in an Unpredictable World
With so much disruption in so many industries and aspects of business, planning for future operations can be a daunting task. Throw in the new government business incentive programs with the related uncertainties and it can seem impossible.
The new, and sometimes not well understood, incentive programs, like the PPP, present opportunities and pitfalls for organizations that take part in them. Most organizations benefit by focusing on making decisions that make the most sense from an operations standpoint, even if that means not maximizing an incentive program like the PPP or the refundable payroll tax credits.
By running your business or organization to maximize its effectiveness and profitability first, you will be in no worse condition than you would have been if the incentive program didn’t exist. This doesn’t mean that incentive programs should be ignored.
As always, organizations need to plan and act on what makes the most business sense, then weigh and integrate the incentive programs to move the strategy forward. Preparation, planning, and research are key.
Planning for the Unexpected
The businesses that are able to plan and effectively manage their cash flows during these unprecedented times will be well positioned for a quicker recovery and may also be able to capture market share from their less-prepared competitors.
Proper financial planning and analysis can not only help businesses survive the downturn, but also empower business leaders to make better-informed decisions regarding growth initiatives, cost/expense controls, staffing decisions, investments in capital expenditures, and financing, among other key financial decisions—not only during these times, but as a best practice in any environment.
One crucial aspect of sound financial planning and analysis is to consider a variety of potential outcomes (not only a “most likely” scenario—which is a good start—but also alternatively, less likely scenarios that could push your business to its limits).
Much of this can be illustrated through a scenario-based cash flow modeling exercise, in which the impact from a variety of outcomes—e.g., how customers, employees, and the economy as a whole are able to cope with and recover from the challenges brought about by the pandemic—can be estimated in terms of cash flow.
For those businesses that have received PPP loans, and specifically loans in excess of $2 million, it is probably in your best interest to be proactive in terms of scenario planning and documenting scenarios that support the need for the PPP funding, in connection with the need certification required by the Small Business Administration (SBA).
The SBA continues to develop procedures and forms related to organization’s certification of economic need from the original PPP loan application. There are forms circulating online specifically related to this. However, as of Nov.19, 2020, the SBA has not released new official information on their website related to the upcoming audits of the needs certification. While the no official information has been released, there is expectation that additional guidance will be published related to this area and borrowers should consider preparing ahead of time. Preparing a document that discusses the economic condition and outlook of the organization at the time of application for the PPP may be strengthened through financial modeling and should be considered as part of a well prepared loan file.
PPP Loan Forgiveness
The Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act was signed into law on June 5, 2020. It provided a new set of rules that impact forgiveness and is a positive development because most borrowers should now be seeking close to (if not 100%) forgiveness. This is due to the flexibility of when and how to file for forgiveness.
In addition, the application is not a simple check-the-box form. For those that do not qualify for the EZ application, the actual calculation and supporting documentation requirements present a daunting task and can be extremely time consuming.
But even for those filing an EZ application, the documentation supporting the business certifications will need to be gathered, analyzed, and maintained.
The most time-consuming part of the entire standard application is on the Schedule A worksheet. This is where borrowers list out every employee that was employed during the loan period.
The borrowers have to split the employees into two groups: The first being any employee making over $100,000 on an annualized basis during any pay period in 2019, and the second being all other employees (apart from owners).
This allocation of employees forces borrowers to comb through all of their 2019 payroll files to ensure that any employee making more than $1,923 in any given week is flagged and listed on the correct table on the schedule A worksheet.
Just as everyone started to get a handle on how forgiveness was going to work and were ready to move forward, the waiting game started over as applicants awaited the time when lenders and the SBA would start taking applications.
On Aug. 10, 2020, the SBA officially opened up their portal to begin accepting applications; however, many lenders were not ready to start processing and submitting the SBA applications and continued to work through their internal platforms while waiting for further guidance from the SBA.
Entities Welcome Guidance on How to Account For PPP Loans
Once forgiveness is applied, another accounting aspect of how to record the loan and its forgiveness on financial records moves front and center. The expedited way in which the PPP was developed led businesses to have questions related to many aspects of the program.
Among those areas was how to actually account for the loan proceeds once they were received. Not surprisingly, U.S. GAAP contains no specific guidance on the accounting related to forgivable debt provided by a government entity.
Fortunately, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) collaborated with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) staff to develop non-authoritative guidance in the form of TQA 3200.18, Borrower Accounting for a Forgivable Loan Received under the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program.
This TQA provides non-governmental entities with several approaches that are acceptable to use when accounting for PPP loan proceeds along with the related forgiveness. There are two outcomes for accounting for the PPP. One holds the balance of the loan as debt until the outcome is known (forgiveness or paying back the debt). The other writes down the loan as qualified expenses are incurred.
The first option is to account for the proceeds as debt. In this scenario, the loan is reflected as a liability of the entity and interest is accrued in accordance with the loan terms until such time as the debt has been legally forgiven by the SBA or repaid by the borrower.
Another available option under the TQA, which results in a similar outcome for recognition of loan forgiveness, is to utilize the available guidance on gain contingencies.
Other approaches provided by the TQA utilize guidance from international standards as well as the rules related to conditional contributions that were originally intended for use by not-for-profit entities.
The use of either of these approaches may allow an entity to recognize a reduction in the PPP loan liability prior to formal forgiveness if certain criteria are met. The full text of the TQA provides additional details regarding the timing of this income recognition.
These latter two approaches are generally considered more complex, so borrowers should consult with their CPA prior to year-end so that any unique issues can be discussed. While the multiple options that exist can add complexity to accounting for the PPP loan proceeds, they also provide entities with more flexibility than is typically seen in U.S. GAAP.
The Potential Tax Impact of PPP Loan Forgiveness
Now we have forgiveness, and multiple ways to account for it, but what about the tax impact? Section 1106(i) of the CARES Act provides that any amount that would be includible in gross income of the recipient by reason of forgiveness of a PPP loan “shall be excluded from gross income.”
Thus, the CARES Act excludes from the gross income of a borrower any income that may arise from PPP loan forgiveness, regardless of whether such income would otherwise be properly characterized as income from the discharge of indebtedness.
In Notice 2020-32, the Internal Revenue Service addressed the effect of PPP loan forgiveness on the deductibility of payments of eligible expenses made with forgiven funds. In the notice, the IRS applied tax code Section 265 to expenses paid with PPP proceeds.
This provision provides that no deduction is allowed to a taxpayer for any amount that is allocable to one or more classes of tax-exempt income.
The IRS concluded that to the extent that Section 1106(i) of the CARES Act operates to exclude from gross income the amount of a PPP loan, Section 265(a)(1) disallows any otherwise allowable deduction for the amount of any payment of an eligible expense to the extent of the resulting PPP loan forgiveness (up to the aggregate amount forgiven) because such payment is allocable to tax-exempt income.
Thus, if a taxpayer paid $80,000 of otherwise deductible expenses with PPP proceeds that were subsequently forgiven, while the forgiveness would not trigger $80,000 of taxable income, the borrower would be denied a tax deduction for the $80,000 of expenses paid.
The IRS recently confirmed in Revenue Ruling 2020-27 that regardless of when an application for forgiveness is submitted to the SBA (in 2020 or 2021) if at the end of the 2020 tax year, the borrower “reasonably expects” that forgiveness will be granted, the borrower may not deduct the expenses paid with the PPP proceeds on the 2020 tax return. If, however, the taxpayer receives a decision on forgiveness prior to filing a timely 2020 tax return and part or all of the forgiveness is denied, Revenue Procedure 2020-51 allows the taxpayer to deduct the allowable expenses on the 2020 return.
As of the time of this writing, members of Congress remain determined to overrule the IRS by adding to future legislation the requirement that expenses paid with forgiven PPP funds be fully deductible.
In summary, many organizations have spent their PPP funds and looking towards the future. Recent regulations, new legislation, PPP forgiveness rules and the ever-changing landscape are sure to keep businesses guessing as to what comes next.

Introduction: How to Build Your Own Desktop Computer
Whether you want to build your own computer for video gaming, graphic design, video editing, or even just for fun, this detailed guide will show you exactly what you will need to build your very own personal computer.
1.PC Case of Your Choice
7.Power Supply Unit
Step 1: Installing the Power Supply Pt.1
1. Place the power supply at the bottom of the PC case, there should be an open spot in the back of the case next to a mesh layer cutout for the power supply's exhaust as shown on the left in the picture.
2. Align the power supply box so that the screws on the side of it line up with the screw sockets around the mesh outer layer of the PC case.
3. Screw the power supply into place and make sure it sits firm in the case.
4. Double-check to make sure that the power supply's exhaust is facing towards the mesh outer layer of the case so that hot air does not blow onto vital components.
Step 2: Installing the Power Supply Pt.2
1. The power supply comes with many cables labeled with different names, plug the cables into the corresponding sockets of the power supply matching the name.
2. Now plug the other end of the cables to the components of the PC, since this is the only thing in your case for now, just plug the "fan" labeled cables into the PC's built in fan system.
3. You are done installing the power supply! Later on you will need to plug the other cables into they corresponding sockets for the PC's components as I will mention later.
Step 3: Installing the CPU (Central Processing Unit) Pt.1
1. Begin by making sure your motherboard is outside of your PC’s case, on a study surface to make sure no bends or cracks will occur in the motherboard. Release the motherboard's CPU retention bracket (the small metal piece as shown in the picture on the motherboard).
2. Now it is time to install the CPU chip. Line up the two guiding notches on the socket with the ones along the edge of the CPU chip to prevent wrong installation. After you carefully lower the CPU into its socket, lower the retention bracket back into its place.
Step 4: Installing the CPU (Central Processing Unit) Pt.2
1. Now it is time to add the CPU cooler on top of the CPU itself. Your CPU will most likely come with a syringe of thermal paste along with the CPU fan cooler that comes with the CPU. Apply a small, rice grain sized dot of the thermal paste from the syringe on top of the CPU chip.
2. Next, place the CPU fan cooler directly on top of the CPU chip making sure the black pins on each corner of the CPU fan cooler go into each of the four holes around the CPU chip as shown in the picture.
3. Once the CPU fan cooler is in place, push the pins into each one of the holes and twist them according to the diagram on top of the pins to lock the CPU fan cooler into place.
Step 5: Installing the CPU (Central Processing Unit) Pt.3
1. You are done installing the CPU! The final step is to connect the fan cable to its corresponding spot in the mother board as shown in the picture above so that the cooler can work and run properly.
Step 6: Installing the Motherboard Pt.1
1. Place your motherboard into its spot as shown in the picture.
2. Align the motherboard's screws with the screw sockets in the pc case.
Step 7: Installing the Motherboard Pt.2
1. Make sure to check if the motherboard's IO shield is in place, this is basically a plastic covering that will give you the ports and sockets you need without leaving a hole leading into the inside of your machine.
2. Make sure that your motherboard does not touch the wall of your PC, this may cause damage to it in the long run.
3. Screw in the motherboard very carefully, screwing all the screws in equally and at the same speed to reduce damaging the board.
4. Plug the SATA cables from the power supply in. Double-check that all of the internal cables in your PC are connected correctly and that everything is seated firmly in place.
Step 8: Installing the Motherboard Pt.3
This is the final product, make sure your motherboard is firmly in place with no wobbling.
Step 9: Installing the RAM (Random Access Memory) Pt.1
1. Once you choose how much RAM is right for your computer, it is time to install them into your motherboard. This is the easiest part of this build.
2. Locate the RAM sockets on your motherboard as shown in the image above.
3. For optimal performance, you will be placing the sticks of RAM in corresponding colors if you only have two, for example, in the image above you will be inserting the RAM in only black and leaking the grey sockets empty. If you have four sticks of RAM, then you can put all of the sticks in all of the sockets.
Step 10: Installing the RAM (Random Access Memory) Pt.2
1. Unlatch the hooks on the end of the sockets as shown in the first picture, then gently insert the sticks of RAM. The sticks of RAM should be gently pressed into place.
2. After you have place your RAM into the correct sockets, click the hooks back into place and the RAM should fall into place.
3. If the RAM is firmly in its sockets, you are done! The installation should look like the second image above.
Step 11: Installing the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) Pt.1
1. Now it is time to install the GPU. This will give your computer all the power it needs to run graphic intensive programs such as video editing softwares and video games.
2. Begin by locating PCIe slot on your motherboard as shown in the picture above. This is where your GPU will be installed.
Step 12: Installing the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) Pt.2
1. Locate the metal brackets shown above next to the PCIe slot, this will be an opening for your GPU's ports to be accessable from the outside of the PC case.
2. Unscrew as many metal brackets as you need for the GPU's ports to fit through.
Step 13: Installing the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) Pt.3
1. Just like the RAM, the GPU slot has a hook that you need to unlatch before you insert the GPU.
2. Once unlatched, carefully place the GPU and plug it in with the fans facing up and insert the part of the GPU shown above into the PCIe slot.
3. Once inserted, latch the hook back into place and the GPU should fall into place.
Step 14: Installing the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) Pt.4
1. Now that the GPU is firmly in place, take the screws you unscrewed from the metal brackets and screw the GPU in the same spot to ensure it does not move when you plug any cords or cables into it.
2. Finally, Find the Cord from your power supply that is larked GPU and plug it into the GPU.
3. The cables and GPU should look like the images above.
Step 15: Installing the SSD (Solid State Drive) Pt.1
Locate the block labeled M.2 and unscrew the block from the motherboard.
Step 16: Installing the SSD (Solid State Drive) Pt.2
Locate the small screw across from the SSD slot as shown above and unscrew the top (do not lose this). This is where you will secure your SSD in place.
Step 17: Installing the SSD (Solid State Drive) Pt.3
Carefully plug the SSD into the now open slot at a slight angle that is not directly perpendicular to the motherboard like in the image above.
Step 18: Installing the SSD (Solid State Drive) Pt.4
1. Push down the SSD so that the end of it is directly aligned with the screw hole.
2. Take the screw that you unscrewed earlier and screw the SSD in place.
3. You are done!
Step 19: All Done!
You just built your own PC, now you can enjoy your brand new machine!

When Australia-based casino operator Crown Resorts announced Monday that 18 of its employees were detained in China for undisclosed "gambling crimes," its shares slid, along with those of its peers such as Las Vegas Sands (LVS) - Get Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) Report and Wynn Resorts (WYNN) - Get Wynn Resorts, Limited (WYNN) Report .
Then, suddenly, their luck reversed as stocks quickly rebounded as though the threat of a Chinese corruption crackdown is not looming. (Las Vegas Sands and Wynn Resorts are both members of Real Money's Vice Squad watch list.)
The reason: Macau-focused stocks such as U.S.-based Las Vegas Sands and Wynn are far less exposed than other foreign operators to the types of Chinese regulations that led to the detainment of Crown employees. Those employees most likely were arrested for illegally soliciting Chinese citizens to gamble at overseas resorts.
As Real Money reported, Wynn and Las Vegas Sands pull in roughly 60% and 50% of their respective earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization from Macau sales, and the region could be stabilizing to the benefit of gaming operators as tourist-friendly projects, including a monorail system and more efficient border checkpoints, are rolled out.
"Near-term sentiment will be unfavorable for the Macau gaming stocks," Morningstar's Chelsey Tam said in a Monday note, highlighting the temporary selloffs that resulted from the detainment of Crown employees. "However, we gauge that marketing activities in mainland China will resurface as the dust settles, though casinos will take a lower-profile approach," she added.
Morningstar maintains a $122 fair value on shares of Wynn resorts and $50 value for Las Vegas Sands. Wynn was trading at about $93 and Las Vegas Sands was at $57.60 in Tuesday trading.
Shares of Las Vegas Sands and Wynn Resorts have been climbing in recent months as the Macau gaming market has accelerated sharply. Macau's August gaming revenue showed positive year-over-year growth for the first time since May 2014, according to the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau, and July was the fourth straight month of year-over-year visitation growth.
Las Vegas Sands and Wynn have also unveiled new resorts in the region, which is controlled by only six operators that hold Macau gaming licences. In addition to Wynn and Las Vegas Sands, there are Melco Crown Entertainment (MPEL) , MGM Resorts (MGM) - Get MGM Resorts International (MGM) Report , Macau's SJM Holdings and Hong Kong's Galaxy Entertainment. Wynn's high-end Palace opened in late August, and Las Vegas Sands' Parisian opened in September.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A pair of Democratic senators introduced legislation Wednesday that would overturn a recent Supreme Court ruling that defended the rights of private for-profit employers to opt out of providing insurance coverage for abortifacient drugs on religious grounds.
Sens. Patty Murray (D-WA) and Mark Udall (D-CO) held a press conference Wednesday morning to announce the introduction of the bill, dubbed the “Protect Women's Health From Corporate Interference Act.” The bill would force for-profit employers to comply with the Obamacare birth control mandate, which requires business owners to provide employees and dependents with full, co-pay-free coverage for contraception, sterilization and abortion-causing drugs, regardless of their religious objections.
The legislation was reportedly crafted after consultation with the Obama administration, which originally issued the mandate through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The mandate has spawned hundreds of lawsuits by religious employers, including the infamous Hobby Lobby case that led to last week’s 5-4 Supreme Court decision ruling the mandate unconstitutional.
“At a time when 99 percent of sexually active women in the U.S. have used birth control, five justices decided last week that a CEO's personal views can interfere with a woman's access to this preventive service,” Sen. Murray said. “They're tired of being targeted and are looking to Congress to right this wrong by the Supreme Court.”
While it would normally be impossible for Congress to simply “overturn” a Supreme Court ruling, Senate Democrats are pinning their hopes on the fact that the high court struck the HHS mandate down on the grounds that it violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) of 1993, without explicitly mentioning the First Amendment. The RFRA bars the government from “substantially burden[ing] religious exercise without compelling justification.” Murray’s and Udall’s bill would explicitly prioritize the birth control mandate above the RFRA, making it clear that religious rights are secondary to the law.
Murray and Udall were joined at the podium by Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards and NARAL president Ilyse Hogue, who both praised the legislation.
“With this bill, Congress can begin to fix the damage done by the Supreme Court's decision to allow for-profit corporations to deny their employees birth control coverage,” said Richards. “The Supreme Court last week opened the door to a wide range of discrimination and denial of services. This bill would help close the door for denying contraception before more corporations can walk through it.”
Hogue warned legislators that failure to support the legislation could have electoral repercussions. “Not only are women mobilized. Men are mobilized. Families are mobilized,” Hogue said. In an earlier statement, Hogue said company owners who fail to facilitate free access to the full range of contraceptive options, including abortifacients, are guilty of “discrimination against women in the workplace.”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) vowed to take quick action on the bill.
A companion bill will soon be introduced in the House of Representatives, but chances of it coming to a vote are slim. The Republican leadership in the House supported the Supreme Court’s ruling in Hobby Lobby, with House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) calling the decision “a victory for religious freedom and another defeat for an administration that has repeatedly crossed constitutional lines in pursuit of its Big Government objectives.”
The Senate version of the bill may also face an uphill climb, if enough Republicans decide to fight it. Although Democrats are the majority in the upper chamber, they do not have enough votes to break a filibuster.
In their 5-4 ruling the Supreme Court had dismissed arguments that businesses can be forced to pay for coverage for abortifacients.
“We must next ask whether the HHS contraceptive mandate 'substantially burden[s]' the exercise of religion,” the justices wrote. “We have little trouble concluding that it does.”
