A cell tower lease is an arrangement between the mobile phone service providers ("provider" or "lessee") and a property owner that requires the provider to build and retain a cell service tower at a fixed lease rate for a defined number of years, usually with several renewal options. More than 300,000 such towers operate across the United States offering cellular service and data to customers across the world. The ever increasing demand for mobile phone and data coverage has led to almost 10,000 new cellular sites being built each year, with an average annual lease cost of $45,000.
Cell service lessees are responsible for the care, repair, improvement, and removal of the tower, giving the property owner responsible for lease care if any. The cell tower lease also adds value at the time of selling the house, in addition to producing rent for several years. The average cost of constructing a cell tower is around $175,000, but the cell tower lease will add to the property value of $600,000, or more.
In general, the fair market value of a lease is measured by the proximity of the location to the network of the cellular provider, or the value of the coverage given by the site. The availability of nearby alternative sites would also drive value. It is difficult for most landowners to assess the fair market value of a cellular lease because of a lack of available details. Lease rates for cell towers are not public knowledge, and those rates differ widely. However, in this highly specialized sector, there are companies which are specialized in providing information and assistance to property owners
There are two types of telecommunications leases in the telecommunications industry: a rooftop lease agreement, and a land lease agreement. Cellular sites are, in some cases, built on the roofs of industrial office buildings, and even residential living complexes. These rooftop installations take advantage of the height of the buildings on which they are installed to provide better cellular coverage. In comparison, land leases are usually arrangements between the cellular provider and the landowner of property for space at ground level where a cellular tower is built.
For certain landowners, there are some risks from cell tower leases. The tower occupies property that could be used for other uses of land such as parking lots or retention ponds. Towers establish long-term easements on the property, limiting the use of the property's land site to that or other sections. These leases may also postpone or stop the selling of a property if a seller can not find prospective buyers for the leases to the cell tower.
Cell tower demand is currently strong but this could change with many pending mergers in the cellular communications industry. What's more, one day the advancement of wireless technology could eliminate the need for cell towers, making the structures redundant. Some companies are currently designing smaller towers that can be installed on buildings to save land space and increase the number of possible cell tower locations.
A new study by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) shows that landowners may be able to get more of that rent - money from the rental prices of cellular towers. Cell tower lease rates exposed.
TowerLeases.com is offering landowners free advice on their current mobile tower rent. TowerLease. Com is in the process of offering the landowner "free advice" on its current Cell Tower lease, according to HUD.
Lease negotiations for cell towers depend on location, the size of the object, the type of cell tower, and other factors. Specialist brokers and lawyers can advise property owners who wish to rent a mobile tower on a variety of examples, including, but not limited to, mobile tower rentals for residential, commercial, and industrial purposes.
Cell Tower Leasing consultants use these factors to negotiate competitive lease rates for their clients. The size of the tower site is another property - based on a variable that determines the rental prices of the mobile towers. For example, leases are more expensive in the case of farmland than leases for residential and commercial properties. Also, tower sites are often located in densely populated areas, with a high concentration of mobile towers in urban areas.
The truth is that not all mobile tower leases are the same, and the value of your cell tower can fluctuate over time, depending on the size and location of a cell site. This creates a situation in which not all cell sites are equally valuable and the rental price for a mobile tower lease varies.

According to the Journal of Fishing and Aquaculture, nearly half the world’s supply of fish and shellfish is now farmed in tanks or ponds rather than being caught in rivers, lakes or oceans. One of the latest developments involves the cobia, a solitary predator usually only taken as bycatch. With its rapid growth rate and high quality flesh, cobia is tipped to become one of the most important marine fish for future aquaculture production.
However, like other high value fish such as the sea bream and striped bass, farmed cobia are fed on fishmeal and fish oils, which are produced from wild-caught fish. Since it can take five tons of wild fish to produce one ton of farmed fish, researchers have been trying for decades to replace the fishmeal and fish oils in aquaculture diets.
Some progress has been made. In Australia, for example, prawn farmers use Novacq, a product based on marine microbes, as a food supplement — with some success. Now for the first time scientists at the University of Maryland Centre for Environmental Science have developed a completely vegetarian diet for aquaculture.
In the vegetarian diet the fish oil, which has become scarce and expensive partly due to its popularity as a health supplement for people, was replaced with soybean or rapeseed oil, lipids from algal sources and amino acids such as taurine. Taurine, found in high levels in carnivorous fish and their prey, plays a critical role in the metabolism of fats, stress responses, and muscle growth. The fishmeal was replaced with a mixture of wheat, corn and soy.
In addition to the potential to make aquaculture more profitable and sustainable, while reducing the pressure on our rapidly depleting wild fisheries, a vegetarian diet also means cleaner seafood with much lower levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and mercury.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 1, 2020
Saint Paul, MN – Mayor Melvin Carter announced today the launch of a local consumer financial protection planning effort in partnership with the national nonprofit organization the Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund (CFE Fund), and the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Saint Paul will begin planning a communications campaign to raise consumer awareness of and protect residents from COVID-19 related scams and continue planning in the coming months for broader consumer financial protection capabilities within the City.
“We need a marketplace free from scams, fraud, and deceptive practices, especially amid this pandemic,” said Mayor Carter. “This effort will support vital consumer protections for our community as we continue our work to ensure no one is left behind during this public health and economic crisis.”
ABOUT CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION PLANNING EFFORT
The City of Saint Paul joins Chattanooga, TN; Detroit, MI; Philadelphia, PA; and Shelby County, TN as the second cohort of the CFE Fund’s Local Consumer Financial Protection Initiative, which supports local governments across the country in developing and enhancing their capacity to offer their residents consumer financial protection and empowerment. The City of Saint Paul will work with the CFE Fund to plan for the establishment of a local consumer protection agency, which will work to augment resident financial empowerment by protecting consumer assets through licensing, regulation, enforcement, mediation, and outreach and education.
The City of Saint Paul has received a $10,000 grant, paired with a nine-month technical assistance engagement partnership, to begin planning for a local consumer financial protection initiative. This process will include a structured approach to identifying critical local consumer issues, convening key stakeholders, and surveying the legal landscape that will inform the development of an actionable strategic plan.
“It is an unfortunate reality that predatory actors look to take advantage of vulnerable people during times of crisis like the current COVID-19 pandemic. Examples of scams, frauds, deceptive advertising, and price gouging are already occurring across the country,” said Jonathan Mintz, CFE Fund President, and CEO. “Local governments have a critical role to play in protecting residents’ hard-earned assets, and we are thrilled to partner with Mayor Carter on this important work.”
In 2017, with the support of both the Annie E. Casey Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the CFE Fund selected 4 cities through the Local Consumer Financial Protection Initiative to build out their own consumer financial protection offices within their mayors’ administrations. These cities (Albuquerque, NM; Denver, CO; Nashville, TN; and Salt Lake City, UT) have each successfully launched their efforts, developing consumer complaint infrastructure, identifying enforcement priorities, and pursuing legislative reforms.
ABOUT THE SAINT PAUL OFFICE OF FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT
Mayor Carter launched the Office of Financial Empowerment (OFE) in March 2019. The OFE works to ensure Saint Paul residents are economically secure and have pathways to community wealth building. The OFE advances economic justice strategies including CollegeBound Saint Paul, the city’s college savings account program, fines and fees justice, and fair housing, among other economic empowerment approaches.
ABOUT THE CITIES FOR FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT FUND (CFE FUND)
The CFE Fund supports municipal efforts to improve the financial stability of households by leveraging opportunities unique to local government. By translating cutting edge experience with large scale programs, research, and policy in cities of all sizes, the CFE Fund assists mayors and other local leaders to identify, develop, fund, implement, and research pilots and programs that help families build assets and make the most of their financial resources. The CFE Fund is currently working in over 80 cities and has disbursed over $42 million to city governments and their partners to support these efforts. For more information, visit www.cfefund.org.

There are those days when you are running low on calories but you still want something big and yummy to eat. Lemon Pepper Chicken Salad has become one of our favorite low calorie options!
The secret to making salad into a comfort food is what you add to it! Yes, this usually involves adding calories to your salad but when you start with as few calories as lettuce has, it makes it all OK! This particular salad has 292 calories a serving and always fills my very hungry husband!
(Disclaimer: This is not my salad 🙂
We eat it to fast to take a picture!)
What you need:
12 cups Romaine Lettuce
Tortilla strips (can be found in the salad isle, or make your own by striping up a corn tortilla, spray with a little non stick spray, salt and bake in the oven till crispy)
4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts cut into strips
1 1/2 TBSP Lemon Pepper
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
1) Marinate your chicken strips in the lemon juice for about 15 mins. Then sprinkle both sides of the chicken generously with the lemon pepper.
2) Place chicken and marinade in a skillet over medium heat and cook 10-15 min. until the chicken is cooked through and the lemon juice is almost gone
3) On each plate place 3 cups of romaine lettuce and half of a tomato cut for salad. Top it with 4 oz. of the cooked chicken, and 2 TBSPs of the tortilla strips. The tortilla strips make the whole salad in my opinion!
4) Finish it off with your salad dressing of choice. Don’t forget to add the calories for your dressing which is not included in calorie total for this recipe. We like Walden Farms Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing which has zero calories! I wouldn’t recommend any of their creamier dressings though- yuck.
You can add whatever sounds good to you, apple, cheese, croutons, olives, almonds, or bread on the side. Just remember to also add the calories.
This recipe serves 4. Happy eating!

It’s been 50 years to the day since it carried its most famous passenger to his bloody death.But for some, the four-door limousine on display at the Henry Ford Museum
will always be the automobile that president John F. Kennedy was riding inwhen he was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963
.“Nobody just walks past it. You have to stop and look at it,” says Matt Anderson
, the museum’s curator of transportation. “It’s a very compelling artifact.”Friday marks the half-century anniversary of the infamous shooting, and museum staff expect big crowds for Kennedy’s iconic Lincoln Continental — codenamed the X-100
by the Secret Service.
The vehicle has been a part of the Henry Ford Museum’s collection since 1978, and has been on display since 1981.
Possession of the X-100 came about via practical reasons that seem almost quaint by modern standards.
Due to the X-100’s exorbitant cost at the time, the White House never owned it. The Secret Service leased it from the Ford Motor Company for the bargain fee of $500 a year. Upon retirement from service, the vehicle was returned to the company.
“They didn’t have a budget that was big enough for it,” Anderson says. “It was an expensive car…. Ford basically saw it as an opportunity for advertising.”
These days, the majority of people who gaze upon the X-100 weren’t alive when those fateful shots rang out in Dallas, Texas.
For them, the grim spectacle of Jackie Onassis climbing over the car seat to pick up pieces of her husband’s brain is something that lives only in grainy film footage rather than memory.
But the car’s emotional power is undeniable.
“I wasn’t born yet, when the assassination took place. I don’t have those memories of where I was or what I was doing,” Anderson says. “But I recognize that moment — as does everyone — as a real turning point in American history. Everything changed. And when I look at the car, it becomes a link to that moment.”
Rather than a dark remembrance, the 50th anniversary is being treated by the museum as an opportunity to educate. Earlier in the week, the Dearborn complex hosted lectures by CBS newsman Dan Rather — who reported from the shooting scene — and Clint Hill — the Secret Service agent who can be seen in footage trying to shield the president and his wife from further sniper fire.
Anderson notes that the X-100 saw another 14 years of service under four more presidents after Kennedy’s assassination.
The main reasons for the continued use were, once again, practical. Anderson says Kennedy’s successor Lyndon B. Johnson needed a vehicle as soon as possible, and it was faster to revamp the existing limo rather than equip a new one. “It was just a matter of expediency,” Anderson says.
But Anderson says he sometimes thinks of the X-100’s post-Kennedy service as holding deeper significance. “If nothing else, it symbolizes the nation at least dealing with (the assassination), facing a new tomorrow,” he says.
“And there’s a little defiance. Something to say, ‘This won’t stop the United States. It’s a terrible tragedy, but we will go on.'”
Anderson also points to the X-100’s modifications over the years as encapsulating a change in how U.S. presidents are treated and protected in public spaces. “Prior to this car, they were all open convertibles. That’s how it was done,” Anderson says.
“It’s never been the same…. After (the shooting), every presidential car has been custom-built as an armoured vehicle. They’re really more like tanks than limousines today.”
At its core, the X-100 is a 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible — model 74A.
The vehicle’s stock price at the time was about $7,300. Presidential customization pushed the cost to $200,000 — a huge sum for a car in the early 1960s, equivalent to $1.5 million today.
The Ford Motor Company worked with Cincinnati-based car conversion specialists Hess & Eisenhardt to create the X-100. The limo arrived at the White House in June 1961.
Most of its initial modifications were cosmetic rather than security-based. The wheelbase was extended three and a half feet for extra leg room and seating. The trim included a sheepskin rug, hand-embroidered presidential seals, lap robes, plush lining, interior flood lights, twin flag staffs and steps for Secret Service agents.
The rear compartment was equipped with auxiliary air conditioning blowers. The president’s seat had a hydraulic system so that it could be raised almost 11 inches higher.
The original X-100 was not armoured. As a convertible, it had a variety of covers — including a bubble top and a formal hard top. However, even with the extra blowers, the rear compartment had a tendency to get uncomfortably hot when the tops were used in sunny conditions.
Thus, the car often went uncovered during parades — as it was in Dallas, Tex., on Nov. 22, 1963.
From Touring Car to Tank
Immediately following Kennedy’s assassination, the X-100 was impounded as evidence.
After it was released by investigators, the car was sent back to Hess & Eisenhardt to undergo major conversion. The goal of Project D-2 (a.k.a. Quick Fix) was to improve the limo’s protection of its presidential cargo. Work began in December 1963 and the revamped vehicle was delivered to the White House in June 1964.
Among the most notable new features: a permanent hard top, bullet-resistant glass for all windows, and titanium steel plating. All the extra armour made the car so heavy — close to 10,000 pounds — that other modifications were necessary, such as reinforced suspension, solid tires, and a more powerful engine.
Additional features included a second air conditioning unit, communications equipment, and complete re-trimming of the rear compartment.
In total, the rebuild cost an estimated $500,000. The plan was overseen by the Secret Service and the Army Materials Research Center.
The X-10o remained in use by the Secret Service until 1977, providing transportation for four more U.S. presidents: Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter.
Despite those years of service, and how much it changed since that day in Dallas, the vehicle never could quite shake its reputation as Kennedy’s “‘death car.”
Johnson disliked the X-100’s history so much that he had it repainted black — thinking that its original shade of midnight blue was too evocative of Kennedy’s assassination, replayed countless times on film recordings.
The limo was overhauled a second time in 1967, and there were minor alterations in ensuing years.
Nixon — in total disregard for the X-100’s expensive armouring — had the vehicle equipped with a hinged roof panel so that he could stand and wave during parades.
Driving PresidentialThe X-100 is one of five presidential vehicles
on permanent display at the Henry Ford Museum.Other cars near the Driving America
exhibit include Franklin D. Roosevelt’s1939 Sunshine Special
, abubble-top Lincoln Cosmopolitan
used by Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower, and a1972 Lincoln Continental limo
used by Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan.There’s also a horse-drawn carriage
that was used by Teddy Roosevelt.
The 1972 Lincoln has its own morbid history: Assassination attempts were made on Gerald Ford (1975) and Ronald Reagan (1981) as they were being escorted to the waiting limo. In Reagan’s case, a bullet ricocheted off the limo’s bulletproof exterior and lodged in his left lung.
Matt Anderson says it’s unlikely you’ll find more recent presidential vehicles on display anywhere. The Secret Service now destroys the cars upon retirement: They’re blown up in tests with live explosives to determine the effectiveness of the armour and security configurations.The Henry Ford Museum
is at 20900 Oakwood Blvd. in Dearborn, Mich. — about 20 minutes from downtown Windsor. Open seven days a week, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Regular admission is $17 US for adults, $12.50 US for kids ages 5 to 12. As part of a special promotion with Target, admission Friday is free. Visitthehenryford.org

Last night LW3 graced the Narrows stage with an astonishing display of storytelling genius that painted a series of complex lyrical portraits spanning modern day America, sketched by the passionate soul of an ever evolving man in a never static world. His raw vitality and candid honesty was humorous, sad, contemplative, and, in the end, hopeful that “his demographic” (and those who will so be), can be wistful, reflective and still walk down that uncertain road of adventures toward an ever nearer end. Do not miss this show when it comes to a town near you. [Received via email from an appreciative attendee]
Take cover: there’s a storm coming. With its lyrical thunderbolts, lightning-flash fretwork and ground-shaking grooves, Black Wind Howlin’ is a record to blow your roof off – and Samantha Fish has stood at the eye of the hurricane. ‘It has a rebellious streak,’ says the bandleader of her game-changing new album, ‘and a prevalent theme is, ‘I’m not gonna take your sh*t anymore.” Released in September 2013 on Ruf Records, Black Wind Howlin’ flips a finger at the clich?? of the ‘difficult second album’, firing off 12 classic tracks that chart Samantha’s evolution as songwriter, gunslinger and lyricist. ‘Since completing Runaway back in 2011,’ she reflects of her solo debut, ‘I’ve been on tour pretty much non-stop. I’ve spent a lot of time writing, playing and listening to music. I feel like the themes and the sound of my music have matured. To me, it’s about the human experience from my perspective, as well as people I’ve come into contact with over the last few years.’ While lesser artists work to a template or settle into a pigeonhole, Samantha shifts her shape across the Black Wind Howlin’ tracklisting. She can be brutally rocking on cuts like the tour bus snapshot of ‘Miles To Go’ (‘Twelve hours to Reno/ten hours til the next show’), the swaggering ‘Sucker Born’ (‘Vegas left me weary, LA bled me dry/skating on fumes as I crossed the Nevada line.’) and the venomous ‘Go To Hell’ (‘Oh, this ain’t my first rodeo/You hit yourself a dead end/Your voodoo eyes, ain’t gonna cast a spell/So you can go to hell!’). ‘I’ve become tougher,’ she notes of these head-banging moments, ‘and I think that was reflected in the sound we went for.’
Breaking every cliche associated with the blues while producing some of the most powerful music of the 21st century comes natural to Albert Cummings. The Massachusetts native learned the requisite three chords on the guitar from his father, but then switched to playing banjo at age 12 and became a fan of bluegrass music. Before graduating he heard the early recordings of Stevie Ray Vaughan, however, and was floored by the virtuosity. While in college he saw Vaughan perform and he returned to the guitar with a new outlook and resolve. Not until he was 27, an age when other musicians were either already established or had long ago put their dream aside for the realities of life, did Albert finally decide to go for it. An intense period of wood shedding resulted Albert sharing a bill with Double Trouble, the late Stevie Ray Vaughan’s rhythm section. So taken with Albert’s fire and passion were bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton that they volunteered to play on and produce his debut recording. In 2003 the aptly-titled From the Heart (Under the Radar), with the awesome power of a Nor’easter and the soul of a natural born artist. Tours and shows with blues legends B.B. King, Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy and others brought his music to an audience grateful for the opportunity to be rocked hard by a man possessed to play every song like his life depended on it. Albert Cummings is a man of his times and the man for the times. He has built his own musical edifice that expresses his thoughts and dreams. It is a vision that alternately excites and soothes while also clearly providing a glimpse of his unlimited future. The best is yet to come.
The Guitar duo of JULIAN LAGE and CHRIS ELDRIDGE is a collaborative effort founded in the roots of acoustic music, exploring the worlds of improvisation and composition. Born on Christmas Day 1987, Lage was raised in the Bay Area, where he was recognized early on as child prodigy. He became interested in the guitar at the age of 4, which inspired his father to take up the instrument. The two began playing together, learning the ins and outs of improvisation and exploring various musical genres, beginning with the blues. Lage’s chops evolved quickly, and he became the subject of the documentary Jules at Eight, which was nominated for an Academy Award. At 8, Lage was also asked to sit in with Carlos Santana. He made his debut on record at age 11, on David Grisman’s album Dawg Duos. Chris Eldridge has been at the vanguard of acoustic music for much of the past decade. Although initially drawn to the electric guitar, by his mid-teens Chris Eldridge had developed a deep love for acoustic music, thanks in part to his father, a banjo player and founding member of the seminal bluegrass group The Seldom Scene. Eldridge has worked with a diverse cast of musical luminaries including Jon Brion, Fiona Apple, Paul Simon, John Paul Jones, Marcus Mumford, Justin Timberlake, T-Bone Burnett, Elvis Costello, Jerry Douglas, Sara Watkins, Del McCoury and others. With Lage’s background in modern jazz and new music, and Eldridge’s deep relationship with bluegrass as well as his being a member of the widely acclaimed band, Punch Brothers, this duo lives at the nexus of improvisation, spontaneous composition, and virtuosic refinement, all performed on their respective 1939 Martin guitars.

Bob’s latest record ingeniously called ‘Bob Kendall’ features smart thoughtful rock and roll. Kendall describes his songs as ‘telling tales of recrimination and self-deception.’ In March 2014 Kendall released recordings by producer Paul Kolderie (Radiohead, Pixies, Fort Apache). Bob is a talented musician with a great band that knows how to rock. Smith and Weeden are local upstarts who just released their self-titled CD.
Forty years into his storied career, Garland Jeffreys is enjoying the kind of creative second wind most artists can only hope for the first time around, earning a swarm of critical accolades and experiencing his most prolific stretch in decades. ‘Truth Serum,’ his second album in two years, is a cri de cour, a stripped-down tone poem from an artist taking his rightful and hard-earned place in the musical pantheon. More than a dozen years had passed without an American album from Jeffreys when he came roaring back into the spotlight with 2011’s ‘The King of In Between.’ Hailed by NPR as ‘as good a classic roots rock record as you’re going to hear from anybody,’ the record-which featured an appearance by old pal Lou Reed-earned raves from The New Yorker to USA Today and led to a performance on Letterman, as well as appearances onstage with everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Levon Helm. The experience fueled a creative revitalization for the rocker, whose ebullient, late-stage creative energy colors every note of ‘Truth Serum.’ ‘The record is a kind of Rorschach, the boiled down essence of where I am today at seventy,’ says Jeffreys. Sung with the most relaxed, assured delivery of his career, the lyrics express a seasoned, hard-won acceptance balanced with an unflagging sense of optimism, while the music merges blues, rock, reggae, and folk into an infectious concoction distinctly his own. The result is an album that stands among Jeffreys’ very finest, combining the wisdom and perspective that can only come from age and experience with the passion and grit that have made him ‘one of the city’s rock and roll treasures’ (New Yorker). The record is a call to arms, a reflection on the world we live in and a vision of the world we owe it to ourselves to pursue. It’s the unvarnished declaration of a man whose time has come.
In 2013 Grammy nominated, From the Ground Up, Fullbright traverses an emotional and musical terrain that is extremely broad, showing equal acuity with tender ballads and songs that make you want to drive faster with the windows rolled down. Fullbright’s earliest songwriting heroes, Townes Van Zandt and Mickey Newbury, infuse this record, but so do Jimmy Webb, Randy Newman, and many of Fullbright’s songwriting compatriots from Oklahoma and Texas. Firmly rooted in a variety of musical styles, he draws on what has come before, but without imitation. Forget labels when you listen to John Fullbright. He is not folk, not Americana and not pop, but possibly the best fusion of them all.

Do you think you know everything about home improvement? Do you know the steps for making complex repairs on old or broken appliances? Read on for tips that can improve anyone’s knowledge of home improvement.
There are two easy things you can do if you would like your ceiling to look higher than it truly is. You can paint stripes on your wall or add a tall floor lamp. This will make a optical illusion that makes the room seem bigger. It makes your eyes focus on following lines and makes the room look higher.
Organize your garage by buying some clear plastic boxes and arranging items according to type and how often you use them. Even though the bins are transparent, it’s important to properly label them, too. This is a cost effective way of cleaning out your garage, as well as keeping rodents and bugs away from your things.
Don’t make the mistake of using doors that are of poor quality and look like it. Your guests will definitely notice your doors. You can lose a great deal of heat through a poorly fit and uninsulated door. Doors that are poorly constructed and have low quality hardware present a security risk.
When you improve your home, a smart homeowner spends on fixtures and materials instead of nice decor. This is because the furniture will go with the homeowner, if the home is sold. You want to add value to your home, and by buying durable products that remain there, you do that.
If you are caring for an older relative, think about what they will need when renovating your home. Step-in showers make it easier for them to bathe without slipping. Easy additions like grab bars also make your home safe and more comfortable for your parent.
Be certain to seal the grout once the tile has been laid. Be careful, because grout is quite porous. By not sealing your grout, moisture will sink into the grout. As a result, mold and mildew will develop. You also run the risk of staining your new floors more easily. If you seal the grout, not only will it save you time in cleaning your tiles, but it can potentially save you money in costly repairs resulting from mildew problems.
Expect to pay plenty for work you want done quickly. If you speak with the contractor and workers, they will be very eager to have work more quickly. Just keep in mind that more work in a quicker fashion usually means higher prices. This is very common with rush jobs.
You can make your home more valuable by refinishing hardwood floors. It is a lot of work to refinish floors but not hard. Take a local class to learn all the basics with this project. Doing it yourself can save you a substantial amount of money.
Another tip for making your landscaping look great when it’s time to sell your home is install fully grown flowers rather than seedlings. Mature flowers and plants add a quick pop of color and texture to the exterior of your home and boost curb appeal instantly. Seedlings on the other hand, require lots of time before you see any improvement on the decor of your landscape. Curb appeal will attract buyers.
It is shocking what a change to the look of your room some crown molding will make. Crown molding can add dimension and curves to a flat or boxy room. It is not hard or expensive to install crown molding.
Make a budget, and include every detail you can. Unplanned expenses are practically a given in home improvement, and it doesn’t take much to wreck an inflexible budget. This can be avoided through proper planning. What can go wrong? What if the materials you want are not available? When you ask these questions, you will be better prepared.
You may be pretty good at home improvement, but it takes years to gain the experience necessary to call yourself an expert. You should always be willing to learn new things and find ways to improve your home improvement skills. With the previous tips in mind, you are well on your way to becoming great at it.

16th-Century ‘Colossus’ Sculpture
Today I finally went to see Colossus! I have had so many people send me pictures of this statue telling me it is in Florence but for some reason I just haven't gotten around to actually going to see it. Well being my last week in Florence I made sure to make this happen. Villa di Pratolino is only open from Friday - Sunday 10am - 8pm so there is a short window to go. From my apartment it was only a 30min bus ride through the beautiful Tuscan hills (the bus ride was worth it on its own!). It was free to enter and we just wondered are way around until we came across this beautiful statue. The story behind Colossus is this:
The half man, half mountain was created in the late 1500s by Italian sculptor Giambologna. It was created as a symbol of Italy’s Apennine mountains. This mountain god, named Appennino, stands 35 feet tall. This statue has a wonderful secret, the interior hides several rooms with different functions that made this colossus come to life. The monster that his left hand holds spews water from an underground stream, and it is rumoured that space in his head was made for a fireplace which, when lit, would blow smoke out of his nostrils.

Casie, the owner at All Paws Retreat, wanted to give her clients a gift for the Thanksgiving holiday. We had a fun photoshoot of dogs eating PUP-Kin Pie that I made (pupper safe ingredients!)
It was a seriously fun afternoon as we watched them each devour their tasty treat.
One year ago, I joined one of my best friends in her labor room alongside her husband. I’ve been a part of many births, but being there for one of your closest friends is truly special.
I have also had a lucky job of being a Nanny for Chase, as well as his life photographer. I have watched him as he has learned to roll over, try out letters, teethed, and tried out new foods. He has learned that dogs are amazing and that he loves having a squad of dog to crawl after at full speed.
Basically, life for Chase is good.
Chase’s parents are both Journalists for prominent newspapers here in Ohio and Sports are a big part of their jobs.
Chase’s dad follows the Cincinnati Reds all season, for work and enjoys watching it as well, so what better way to celebrate his first birthday but with a baseball-themed Cake Smash session.
Education in the Twin Cities
My life has gone through many changes in the last two years. Two summers ago, my (then 13) niece, Lynden, moved in with us. It was a whirlwind last-minute transition that none of us planned. We welcomed her happily into our home, but as new parents of a teenager, we were in for some quick hard parenting changes.
Like most things though, as life changes quickly, we must adjust, and adjust fast. My business took a hard hit, I quit picking up my camera almost entirely. It was a shell shock.
A year later, however, I picked it back up and started photographing the Color Guard, that Lynden had joined. Doing so re-sparked me, and helped me feel normal after the year of chaos had started to calm.
Then, out of nowhere, I saw a random post in one of the many photography groups I am involved in on Facebook. Something new was happening. The first-time event of its type, a photography conference geared towards ANIMAL photography, Animal Image Makers.
I had to be a part of it.
Then as things progressed, I became more excited, I had purchased my ticket with no real idea what I was going to do there. I’ve only ever taken a class from Nick Fancher on lighting, and a film class in school to learn to develop film and am basically self-taught on everything else.
Boy was I in for the ride of my professional life.
I planned to arrive two days early just so i could get a feel for Minneapolis. I have never traveled alone so this would be a tiny vacation for me.
The weather had other plans though and a freak blizzard tried to attack the city, leaving it under many inches of unexpected snow. I made do and traipsed around the immediate area I was visiting, Bloomington.
What a wonderful little town. I found some amazing food and something else inspired me while I was there.
Ive wanted to honor Lola, my business namesake, and finally decided on an idea for a tattoo. I did some brief searching on the airplane ride and fell in love with Sarah from Minneapolis Tattoo She made a beautiful rendition of Lola’s ears and crinkled forehead. I am in love with it.
The first evening, I quickly made a group of friends, we all sat down and had drinks and got to know each other personally, instead of just the work we know of each other from online. This would be the core group of people I hung out with the entire time.
I even met the AMAZING and POWERFUL and INSPIRATIONAL Kaylee Greer of Dog Breath Photography. She was, in fact, our Keynote speaker, and stayed for the whole conference, and took classes alongside us.
She changed me. Her words were just so much, and her stories, and her struggles, and her rewards were so educational.
I wish I could write all the amazing things I learned there in one blog post, but it’s just so much. So I’ll leave you with what inspired me the most from Kaylee.
“Light yourself on fire and people will come from miles to watch you burn.”
My flame has been lit.
Why do I rescue?
I have always had rescue animals. I grew up with dogs that we saved from certain situations that were not safe or were not in the best housing conditions.
When I was 19, my first dog made her appearance to me as a 6-week old beagle puppy running down the street at 3am in downtown Dayton. I tried to find her owners or mom of her litter, but ultimately Mazey lived with me to the ripe old age of 15.
At 21, I adopted Lola. Lola as this fat round almost all black with floppy ears. The moment I met her, I knew she was my dog. She came home with me and Mazey. She was my dog-soulmate. She grew into this faithful dog, who did whatever I wanted happily. She was dramatic though. She hated car rides, which as an auto enthusiast, who loves road trips, was the bane. She would barf, and cry and whine… and eventually, cave into calmness.
She was brave though. She was happy. She wasn’t always the brightest. She lived to the very old age of 17. My life was forever changed by her.
Mazey and Lola made my life better. They were with me through thick and thin, and caused chaos and love. They were my rescues that started it all.
When Mazey passed away, Lola was very sad. They had been together since her whole life, and I knew I would want another dog. Fostering wasn’t in the plans for us, but I knew working with a rescue would be the best way for me to find our next dog, and thus began my next path as a photographer.
I have been working with PetPromise since 2013. I have photographed cats and dogs with them, as well as eventually fostering a couple of dogs.
How can I help your rescue?
My goal is to work with 501(3)c organizations who are fostering dogs in the Central Ohio area. My studio is in Franklinton, Ohio. I offer group sessions for multiple foster pets in a single day or one on one sessions with advanced scheduling.
Rescues should contact me directly, to discuss the needs that will benefit the animals in their rescue.
All Animals that enter my studio must be vaccinated, and be on flea and tick prevention.
Barb and David brought in Chase for his first Holiday photos. He’s grown so fast since August and his smile is infectious! Fergus and Henry of the #BrownDogSquad joined in for a few photos too!
Let the Chase begin! The birth of a new photographer.
Barbara Perenic (Columbus Dispatch) and David Jablonski (Dayton Daily News) are photojournalists. When they found out they were becoming parents, Barbara realized that even she wasn’t immune to her desire to be reported on. She has seen the nitty gritty in life, as well as the life-affirming stories out there in the world. She knew that she wanted her little one to be documented on his journey into life as well.
Barbara is a long time friend, asked if I would be a part of this journey. I felt so honored that she trusted me to be a part of such an intimate event.
Chase came into this world slowly and methodically, almost 32 hours of labor for his anxious mom and dad. Barbara, being a triathlete was no stranger to going the distance, but even this was something that came as a surprise to her. She knew he would be worth it though. With David by her side, and helping during the labor process. At one point, David took hold of a sheet at one end and tugged on it while Barbara tugged at the other end.
After many exhausting pushes, Chase clearly needed some coaxing, so the OB came in to have a conversation with him, in utero. She said all the right words, for in the wee early morning Chase made his first appearance.
Family Photography- Matt and Tiffany- Grange Insurance Audubon
Matt and Tiff are two peas in a pod. I met them 5 years ago and was quickly enamored with them. They had a spark and a little bit of crazy love going on. It’s 5 years later, 3 kids in, and I can still feel the love they have for each other and their family.
We met this weekend at Grange Audobon Society for some early morning photos. The cool August morning, a rare thing in Ohio, was amazing, and almost too chilly! The kids had fun though, and I can see their personalities really starting to shine through and can tell that the kids have that same zest for life that Matt and Tiff do

A two hour drive away from Tallinn, is the summer capital of Estonia: Pärnu. It’s a small seaside spa town that is full of fabulous villas and derelict shacks.
This was purely a family trip and the main reason we chose Pärnu was the waterpark. We stayed at the Tervise Paradiis which is close to the stunning beach, has swimming pools and offers spa treatments. My nieces and nephews are really into swimming at the moment, so Pärnu was the perfect choice for this. We were there for four days which was enough time to enjoy the town, the hotel and waterpark, the city centre and the beach.
The long sandy beach was a jogger’s dream and the perfect place to build sand castles and to find seashells. You can either walk on the beach admiring the smooth sand or the paved boulevard. The weather was too cold for a swim, but we dared to dip our toes in it. Just keep an eye on those magpies…
Pärnu’s city centre is small, but only a short walking distance or a cheap-ish taxi ride from our hotel. There aren’t many non-souvenir shops on the main street, but it is a perfect place to enjoy the cheap cafes.
If you are interested in shopping more than just souvenirs, head to Port Arthur.The second floor’s Mohito made a serious dent in my travel budget.
Pärnu offers all types of spa treatment. I ended up trying chocolate massage and underwater massage (the latter turned out to be a form of torture because you basically lie in a tub and this woman uses a pressure washer on you!). The treatmens are cheaper in Estonia, but I have been really unlucky with the customer service over the years. I have been treated as a nuisance instead of a normal paying customer. Two years ago I had a normal French manicure done in Tallinn and the whole time this woman was fixing my nails, she complained about my nails non-stop and sighed and rolled her eyes a lot. I rather pay more and leave happy. I hope you have better luck if you try any spa treatments in Estonia.

You would have read about a new low price for solar power every passing day.
Early 2017, there were news reports that the cost of solar power was less than Rs 3/unit.
Is solar power really that cheap?
Well, not really. The sub-Rs 3/kWh was quoted for a special case where the scales were quite large, some incentives were provided to the developers, and where in addition some costs were borne by the government. Such a low price/cost is not applicable to everyone.
But there’s no doubt that the cost of solar power had been decreasing dramatically.
What is important to users of electricity is whether solar power costs less than what they pay today to the electricity company. And here, solar power wins hands down for industrial and commercial establishments – in almost all regions in India, solar power costs much less than what industrial and commercial units pay for grid power.
This reduction in cost is not an overnight phenomenon, but had been happening for over two decades. Some trends in cost will be enlightening:
- Solar power cost over Rs 30/unit in early 2000s
- By 2010, it had come to about Rs 15/unit
- By 2014, this had further come down to Rs 6/unit
- By 2017, the cost is only about Rs 4-5/unit for small rooftops, and only about Rs 4/unit for large scale power plants. Compare Rs 4/unit with the price of electricity for industrial and commercial units in India – a minimum of Rs 6/unit for a lucky few, going all the way to Rs 12/unit for the commercial sector in states such as Maharashtra.
To illustrate the trends in solar power costs and grid electricity tariffs for the Residential and the Commercial/Industrial sectors, we have provided the following graph.
Taking residential power tariffs at Rs 4/unit, commercial and industrial tariffs at Rs 6.5/unit and the cost of solar at Rs 4.5/unit, and taking into account possible escalations in grid tariffs for residential and commercial sectors, what you see is a picture that will likely make finance managers jump out of their chairs.


While the debate on overall WMATA funding continues, there is a secondary debate about adding light rail to the current bus-heavy rail mix.
I am on the fence about light rail. I think the bus is a more efficient and much cheaper option, but I can see how the permanence of investment of light rail can attract much greater secondary investment than the bus at a cheaper cost than heavy rail.
Here in San Fran, where I am this week, light rail (called MUNI) is a great revitilizer of smaller retail districts and does an amazing job at incorporating suburban areas into city life without the need for more cars, highways or parking investment.
While riding it today I was lost in a dream – a light rail loop from H Street NE to downtown to SE Waterfront to Anacostia and back.
Crazy yes, but damn cool too. What’s your light rail dream?

Man missing after Tahoe boating accident
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE ” Rescuers could not locate the body of a 24-year-old Roseville man who went missing in 700 feet of water in Lake Tahoe Saturday afternoon. A four-hour search involved multiple law enforcement and rescue agencies.
Friends told police the man had been riding behind their boat on a towed water toy when he went into the water.
A 911 call was made, but the man had disappeared below the surface of the lake before the U.S. Coast Guard arrived, according to the South Lake Tahoe Police Department. The incident occurred about a mile north of Ski Run Marina.
The circumstances of the accident, and questions about whether the man was wearing a life vest, are still under investigation, said Officer Schyler Beaty. Witnesses initially told authorities the man was wearing a life vest, said Mike Faivre, petty officer with the U.S. Coast Guard, who was on the scene.
There were no indications alcohol was involved, Beaty said.
The water temperature stood at 62 degrees Saturday, and the air temperature at 57 degrees. Rescue personnel called off the search after four hours, determining through “survivability models” that the man was likely not recoverable, Faivre said.
The dive teams were not able to search for the body where it disappeared because of the water’s depth of 700 feet, Faivre said.
Also on the scene were South Lake Tahoe Fire Department, El Dorado and Placer County sheriff’s departments and dive teams, H2O Vessel Assist, and the CALSTAR 6 non-profit helicopter, which performed a grid search from the air.
Police withheld the man’s name pending notification of next of kin.

This must be one of the simplest, yet most helpful practice aids I have ever come across!
This teaching aid will greatly assist any golfer, not only with their alignment, but also provide an excellent visual image of what the swing path should be through impact.
If you are looking for a “high tech device” you are in the wrong place! All you need is a 8-10 foot heavy piece of nylon string available at any home improvement store and two golf tees. Attach the ends of the string to each tee by burning off or tying and place the tees in the ground as illustrated. There is no concern for a line that is 'parallel left' of your target here, as the string is placed almost directly on your target line. It cannot be bumped off line or cause damage if hit during a swing.
The golf ball should be placed a few inches inside the string. When hitting driver you can actually tee the ball up right on the string!
As you address the ball, not only will you be aligned correctly, but you will get a clear sense of what it means to swing "down the line." This handy device can be used for all shots, including work on your chipping and putting.
If PGA Tour players are using this, surely you too should give it a try!
Place the tee closest to the target in the ground first and then back up and align the string at your intended target.
Start hitting shots toward the front of the string and work the divots back along the inside of the string.
The clubhead should never cross the string, either coming into impact or exiting the hit. Feel the clubhead staying 'inside the wall' so to speak.
If you think you don't need this, trust me, you do!
Things to Ponder:
- What do Kenny Knox, Nolan Henke, Tom Byrum, Willie Wood and David Peoples have in common? Besides the fact that they all played in the 1988 Greater Hartford Open (?) they are all playing on the PGA Tour this week! There must be more competent golfers out there......
- Lance Ten Broeck (see above group) caddied for Jesper Parnevik in the morning and then played, shooting 71, in the afternoon! Never heard of that before...http://www.geoffshackelford.com/
- Hey, David Feherty, ever heard the joke about two bullets, Nancy Pelosi and Osama? Ever heard of a fellow CBS commentator called Ben Wright? BTW Feherty is working the Valero Texas Open this week although I'm surprised he's not playing!
- Michelle Wie still wants to compete against the men! And I want to drive down Magnolia Drive in a red Ferrari and win the Masters....
- My pick this week, Justin Leonard, is looking good so far. Go boy, go!
- I know of two teams in fantasy golf who picked Henrik Stenson and Ian Poulter! How's that for a $2.8 million pay day?

Premise liability cases can become very complicated, as they often involve businesses, public, or municipal entities. Some examples of premises liability accidents are slip and fall accidents; home accidents; stair injuries; injuries caused by animals; waterpark and amusement park accidents; campus injuries; matters of negligent security; elevator and escalator injuries; campus injuries; asbestos or lead-related illness (for renters); and construction site accidents. These all have different legal guidelines and insurance considerations, making each case unique. In far too many cases, injured victims fail to take the proper steps to protect their rights.

A look back at the four-division world champion's finest moments as he prepares to return to the ring this Saturday night against Jovanie Santiago on SHOWTIME.
Adrien Broner accomplished more before his 24th birthday than all but a few fighters do in their entire careers.
The trash-talking, but oh-so-talented Cincinnatian won a major title in a third division while he was still a tender 23 when he outpointed Paulie Malignaggi in 2013. At the advanced age of 26, he added fourth title when he stopped Khabib Allakhverdiev in 2015.
And, in spite of some disappointments in recent years, “The Problem” is far from finished 31. Broner will return from a two-year layoff this Saturday, February 20, as he faces Jovanie Santiago on PBC on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT), live from Los Angeles.
We’d like to take the opportunity of Broner’s comeback fight to look back on his remarkable career. Here is a look at five victories that have defined him.
5 JASON LITZAU
Date: June 18, 2011
Location: Tlajomulco de Zuniga, Mexico
At stake: No title
Records at the time: Broner 20-0 (16 KOs), Litzau 28-2 (21 KOs)
Result: Broner TKO 1 (2:58)
Significance: To understand the significance of this fight you have to go back to the one that preceded it. Broner defeated veteran Daniel Ponce de Leon but some believe he received a gift decision. His reputation was tarnished ever so slightly. Litzau, it turned out, would be the perfect remedy. The Minnesotan was a good, proven fighter, having outpointed Rocky Juarez and Celestino Caballero in his previous two fights. However, he didn’t get a chance to show what he could do against his gifted 22-year-old opponent. The fight was just getting started when Broner landed a right-hand bomb that hurt Litzau and followed with a brutal barrage the gave Curtis Thrasher no choice but to stop the fight. Broner never had a more sensational knockout.
4 ELOY PEREZ
Date: Feb. 25, 2012
Location: Scottrade Center, St. Louis
At stake: Broner’s WBO junior lightweight title
Records at the time: Broner 22-0 (18 KOs), Perez 23-0-2 (7 KOs)
Result: Broner TKO 4 (2:24)
Significance: Broner had won his first title by stopping complete unknown Vicente Martin Rodriguez in three rounds three months earlier. Perez was a different proposition. The Mexican-American was a slick, experienced boxer who some believed had the ability to give Broner significant problems. He didn’t. Broner put Perez down with a monstrous right hand and he was unable to get up, giving the high-flying champion his third consecutive knockout. Indeed, the champion made the most out of his last fight at 130 pounds and continued to build a sterling reputation. Meanwhile, Perez tested positive for cocaine after the fight, was cut by his handlers and never fought again. He died in 2019.
3 PAULIE MALIGNAGGI
Date: June 22, 2013
Location: Barclays Center, Brooklyn
At stake: Malignaggi’s WBA welterweight title
Records at the time: Broner 26-0 (22 KOs), Malignaggi 32-4 (7 KOs)
Result: Broner SD (117-111, 115-113, 113-115)
Significance: Broner, only 23, had already won major titles at 130 and 135 pounds when he made the leap to 147 to challenge Malignaggi in a memorable fight marked by vulgar trash talk in the lead-up to the fight. “Magic Man” won the title by stopping Vyacheslav Senchenko in nine rounds in April 2012, his fifth consecutive victory. Meanwhile, Broner was blossoming into a pound-for-pound star. Something had to give. And it turned to be Malignaggi. Broner started slowly – his opponent won the first two rounds on all three cards – but he picked up his pace, outboxed Malignaggi and landed the heavier blows to win a split decision and a world title in a fourth division at an age when most top fighters are just getting started.
2 KHABIB ALLAKHVERDIEV
Date: Oct. 3, 2015
Location: U.S. Bank Arena, Cincinnati
At stake: vacant WBA junior welterweight title
Records at the time: Broner 30-2 (22 KOs), Allakhverdiev 19-1 (9 KOs)
Result: Broner TKO 12 (2:23)
Significance: Broner had run into trouble the previous few years, losing for the first time against Marcos Maidana (UD) and again against Shawn Porter (UD) at 147 pounds. Any aura of invincibility he had was gone. However, he still had his elite ability. Allakhverdiev found that out the hard way in Broner’s hometown. Broner, who moved back down to 140 for the fight, thoroughly outboxed the rugged Russian (he had wide leads on all three cards after 11 rounds) and ultimately beat him up. He was pounding Allakhverdiev unmercifully when referee Harvey Dock decided enough was enough and stopped the fight. The end came only 37 seconds before the final bell. Broner was a four-division champion, an achievement that bolsters his credentials as a potential Hall of Famer. Allakhverdiev never fought again.
1 ANTONIO DEMARCO
Date: Nov. 17, 2012
Location: Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, N.J.
At stake: DeMarco’s WBC lightweight title
Records at the time: Broner 24-0 (20 KOs), DeMarco 28-2-1
Result: Broner TKO 8 (1:49)
Significance: Broner had been stripped of his WBO 130-pound title when he failed to make weight for his scheduled defense against U.S. Olympian Vicente Escobedo in July 2012, a fight he won by a fifth-round knockout. No problem. He simply moved up to 135 and challenged WBC champ Antonio DeMarco, the time-tested veteran who was coming off a first-round knockout of John Molina Jr. He was no match for Broner. The challenger overwhelmed DeMarco with his speed and power to beat him up, break him down and take him out at 1:49 of Round 8. Broner was only 23 but already a two-division champion and veritable sensation.

Newly collected testaments from two settlements in the jurisdiction of Metepec in the Toluca Valley reveal that, although scholars believed the great tradition of mundane records in Nahuatl to have lapsed by 1800, it continued on a large scale during the first three decades of the nineteenth century, the independence period so far hardly touched by examinations of indigenous social history. The larger corpus is from San Bartolomé Tlatelolco, which also happens to be represented by documents from about a century earlier in Pizzigoni's Testaments of Toluca, giving a perspective on the new materials. Surprisingly, a large majority of the testators were women. Nevertheless, we find continuity in gender roles and in structures and practices generally, as well as in specific traditions of San Bartolomé. At the same time, new aspects of naming patterns, testament and funeral conventions, land measurement, ritual kinship, and the role of lay sodalities emerge from the testaments.

Main Battle Tank - Iran
The Karrar (Striker in English) is a Main Battle Tank (MBT) fully developed and designed by the Iranian defense industry. This tank was unveiled for the first time to the public in August 2016. Video footage from Iranian Television "Telewebion" was published on YouTube showing the Karrar main battle during trials in the desert. In March 2017, the Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehghan has inaugurated the production line of the new home-made Karrar main battle tank at the Bani-Hashem Armor Industrial Complex in Dorud County, Lorestan. According to military experts, the Karrar MBT is based on the chassis of the Soviet-made T-72 but fitted with a new turret. The design of the tank seems to be very similar to the Russian-made T-90MS main battle tank. According to retired Major General Vladimir Bogatyrev, the Karrar is a copy of the Russian-made T-90MS, the most advanced modification of the T-90 family but it uses some features of American M1 Abrams and British Challenger 2. Russian military expert suggested that in terms of certain military capabilities the Karrar is unlikely to match the Russian T-90. In March 2017, the Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehghan has inaugurate the production line of the new home-made Karrar main battle tank at the Bani-Hashem Armor Industrial Complex in Dorud County, Lorestan. In July 2018, The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had announced a plan to procure almost 800 modern main Karrar battle tanks. In November 2020, the Iranian army has received the latest version of the local-made Karrar MBT (Main Battle Tank). The tank had completed all the final trial tests and is now ready to be delivered.
Karrar MBT variants:
- No variants at this time
The Karrar MBT Main Battle Tank is fitted with a new welded turret which is armed with a 125 mm smoothbore gun fitted with a fume extractor and a thermal sleeve. The cannon can fire all standard ammunition as the armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS), high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) and high-explosive fragmentation (HEF), and anti-tank guided missiles. At the base of the gun barrel is mounted a polygonal metal sleeve which has a series of small openings for air cooling of the barrel. This system could provide better stabilization of the main gun during firing on the move. The turret is equipped with a carousel automatic loader mounted on the turret floor and also on the rear wall of the turret. The second armament of the Karrar includes a remotely-operated weapon station armed with a 7.62 mm machine gun mounted at the rear of the commander hatch. It includes a day/night sight, a thermal imager, and a laser rangefinder. There are two banks of three smoke grenade dischargers on each side on the top of the turret.
|Design and protection|
The general layout of the Karrar MBT is similar to Russian tanks, divided into three compartments with the driver at the front of the hull, the turret in the center, and the power pack at the rear. In the turret, the gunner sits on the left and the commander on the right. The Karrar is protected with a new armor package with ERA (Explosive Reactive Armour) at the front of the hull and the turret, which gives protection against chemical energy and kinetic energy projectiles. The roof of the turret is protected with additional armor and each side is fitted with spaced composite armor modules. To increase the protection of the tank against RPG (Rocket-Propelled Grenade) threats, the rear part of the turret and the hull are covered by wire cage armor.
|The Karrar MBT is fitted with a new powerpack to increase speed and mobility in all-terrain conditions. The torsion bar suspension on each side consists of six road wheels with the idler at the front, drive sprocket at the rear and three return rollers supporting the inside of the track only. To increase the operational range of the tank, two 200-liter diesel fuel drums can be added at the rear of the hull.|
|Standard equipment of the Karrar MBT includes an NBC protection system, night vision equipment for all three crew members, an electro-optical fire control system, a laser rangefinder, and a ballistic computer. The crew members have digital control panels and a new battlefield management system to enhance combat effectiveness by integrating digital battle maps, situational awareness, communications, and sensor systems. The Karrar is equipped with a new independent sight for the tank commander. The gunner has a day sight and a thermal imaging fire control system that can be used both day and night. A camera is mounted to the left of the driver’s position. On the top rear of the turret, there is also a meteorological mast including sensors that automatically transmit to the fire control system the data about wind speed and wind direction, air temperature and atmospheric pressure. The font of the hull is fitted with new LED headlights.|

Kale strawberry salad that’s a perfect barbeque side dish or served with dinner! Just a few ingredients for a healthy salad with a dash of fruit.
Ok so we have a love for kale…yes, even my kids. We visited a local farm recently, picked our own kale and strawberries, and had an amazing kale strawberry salad that we just had to try and duplicate when we got home. Let us share this easy kale salad recipe with you! (originally published 5/17, affiliate links present)
Kale Strawberry Salad with Balsamic Dressing
Doesn’t this look ahhhhhhmazing??!!! So like I said, we went strawberry picking and you can even pick veggies at a local Southern California farm called Tanaka Farms and just had to recreate the salad they served us.
Kale juice and adding leaves into anything is so good for you. It does have a distinct and somewhat strong flavor though. Sweetening it up a bit with agave nectar is a great way to counteract that. If you’ve never had agave nectar you can use it in so many ways.
You can use it instead of syrup on pancakes, mix it up as a vinaigrette for salads or use it as is like in this salad recipe or in a fruit salad! Add diced fresh strawberries and sunflower seeds…and BAM. Serve it with or without air fryer croutons and it’s a great side dish.
You’ve got yourself a tasty, healthy, pretty, and inexpensive side dish!
Strawberry Kale Salad
It is always nice to have a tasty side dish you can just throw together with a few ingredients when you’re going to a barbeque or over to someone’s house.
Kale Strawberry Almond Salad
Another great one to make and serve along side this is this TikTok cucumber salad! Adding some sliced or almond slivers are a nice touch too. Brings some crunch and added texture to the dish.
This kale strawberry salad recipe is a great one to keep on hand! If you love kale too try our easy kale chip recipe here. My kids love these and our bacon pasta salad and shredded brussel sprout salad recipe too.
Want to see a few of my favorite things that I am totally obsessed with?? Take a peek and see how many you might already have…twinsies!
Kale Strawberry Salad
- 1 Bowl
- Wash kale and cut middle stem off. Dice into small pieces (almost like cole slaw size) and toss with dressing mixture. (you can use bottled vinaigrette too)
- Use as little or as much as your taste buds prefer, massage into kale. Dice strawberries and add those as well as sunflower seeds into your bowl. Toss gently and serve.
