If someone were to ask you, "What is the single, most unique part of a revolver?" you would have to answer "the cylinder". The cylinder is associated with all revolvers because it is the most unique part of the gun, a part which will not be found on any other pistol model. The cylinder is mounted behind the rear of the barrel and holds ammunition designed specifically for that gun. The cylinder is different from the semi-automatic pistol in the fact it holds ammunition that will send the bullet down the barrel. A semi-automatic pistol "chamber" is a widened section of the barrel that accepts ammunition which is placed into the barrel section. A revolver does not place ammunition into the barrel, therefore, the "chamber" is the "cylinder" which holds the ammunition. The cylinder rotates in a circular fashion and holds a varying amount ammunition, depending on its caliber. The design of having the chamber separate from the barrel creates a unique gap between the cylinder and the barrel known as the barrel-cylinder gap. This gap, which is typically between 0.004" and .008" allows the cylinder to rotate freely. While some gasses escape through the gap, it is not sufficient enough to lower the velocity of the bullet, however, it is sufficient enough to be seen and heard. Always keep the barrel-cylinder gap free from obstruction, especial your fingers or other body parts as the gasses are hot chemicals that can cause injury.
The "original", "grass-roots" cylinder gun rotated a set of barrels where the ammunition was loaded into the barrel chambers. As the chambers rotated, they came into a firing position, making the revolver of those day's an advanced weapon. The ability to fire successive shots without having to reload was an everyday miracle. The firearms were termed "pepperbox" firearms because they could deliver more than one round in succession.
There are two basic types of revolver pistols: Single action and double action. The single action revolver is an older style revolver and seldom manufactured in today's modern firearms plant.
The single action revolver requires the user to "cock" the hammer manually, which rotates the cylinder and loads a fresh round of ammunition behind the barrel. In the older "cowboy days" this was the pistol they needed to contend with--draw, cock, fire, cock, fire, cock, fire. In today's modern world of self defense tactics, drawing, cocking, firing, and then cocking again is an unrealistic proposal for personal self defense.
Before we move on to the more popular "double action" pistol, we need to understand the operations of the single action pistol.
The Single Action Pistol
To operate the single-action pistol, the hammer must be cocked first which places pressure in the main spring and retracts the bolt or cylinder stop out of engagement with one of the notches in the cylinder, allowing the cylinder to rotate freely.
As the hammer is drawn rearward, the pawl or hand, which is attached to the hammer, moves vertically in a slot located in the recoil shield portion of the frame. This engages an offset ratchet on the back side of the cylinder which produces the rotating action.
The ratchet and the pawl are carefully designed to align the chamber with the bore of the barrel after the hammer has been completely cocked.The cylinder bolt (or stop) snaps into the next notch, securing the cylinder in the proper position. Once the pistol is fired, the process repeats.
Double Action Revolvers
Double action revolvers are named for their ability to cock the hammer and to fire the shot (release the hammer) in one pull of the trigger. The double-action mechanism that allows the revolver to work is made possible by adding a separate double-action sear on the hammer which is engaged during the pulling of the trigger. As the trigger is pulled back, the hammer travels into the firing position and is then released once the trigger passes the designed breaking or release point.
Double-Action Only Pistols
The long, heavy, deliberate pull of the revolver trigger has always been considered a safety feature in-and-of-itself as the chances for an unintentional discharge is extremely unlikely. Modern revolvers may or may not have additional safety features built into them which are not directly controlled by the gun owner but are disengaged when the trigger is properly pulled. Revolvers which have the firing pin as part of the hammer, have an additional safety feature which prevents the hammer from closing completely unless the trigger is pulled. Some manufacturers will include additional safety features the gun owner may choose to engage or disengage manually.
Call 208-957-6970 To schedule your next class or Home Safety Inspection
Some double-action pistols are designed primarily for self-defense. These revolvers rely on the internal striker style mechanism. This style of revolver cannot be "cocked" in the same manner as the single or double-action revolver. The pistol is limited to the double-action only style of firing, hence the name of the triggering mechanism.

Living Way Pentecostal Church teams with Baton Rouge businesses for food distribution
LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - Food distributions are still happening all over Southwest Louisiana.
Living Way Pentecostal Church is keeping hope alive by providing 6,000 meals to the community with the help of some very generous businesses who traveled from Baton Rouge.
Pastor Brent Keating, says the destruction left behind by Hurricane Laura won’t stop Living Way Pentecostal Church from their mission of blessing the Lake Charles community.
“We’re excited just to be able to let everybody know we, as a church, have to rebuild together. Our church was destroyed. We have hope and we want to just distribute more than just food. We want to distribute hope.”
Hundreds of cars drove through the church parking lot Friday, where thousands of meals of jambalaya and sweet corn, or fried fish and french-fries were ready to enjoy.
Pastor Keating says this wouldn’t have been possible without the help of Torey Tubre, vice president of sales for Bengal Crane and Rigging, who helped organize the event.
“We thought that it would be good for the community, to come out and feed everybody and make them feel, you know, good to get a warm meal and take them feel at home again even though there’s all this destruction and what not.”
Tubre recruited almost a dozen other Baton Rouge businesses to come out and help too.
“This is actually our third stint out here and were more than happy to come back anytime.”
Tubre says there is a great chance they will be back again soon to feed the Lake Charles community.

With the New Year well underway we think it’s time to plan ahead and put some dates in the diary to look forward to throughout 2014! So, here’s our list of the top 10 BBQ and food events to attend this year to get your diary started:
Manchester, Bristol & London: Any BBQ enthusiast will know that Grillstock is the place to be when it comes to meat, music and mayhem! Running over 2 days in two locations across the UK, these events will be graced with some of the world’s greatest meat pro’s with entertainment from authentic british rock talent. Whichever date you attend, you’re sure to get all the music, beer and BBQ food you could desire, leaving you with an experience you won’t forget in a hurry.
Date TBC: Having landed in East London for the first time last year from USA soils, Meatopia festival took over Tobacco Dock with a suitably smoky atmosphere! With more highly acclaimed chefs than you could shake a stick at, Meatopia became yet another paradise for those looking to indulge in a little (well ok, a lot!) of grilled meat! Menu choices ranged from pulled pork tacos to confit of hog belly, and we’re very much looking forward to what will be on offer this year! No dates have been confirmed as of yet, but boasting an experience of ‘meat, drink, fire and music’, you won’t want to miss out on tickets!
30th-31st August: The brainchild of Jamie Oliver and Alex James, the Big Feastival offers a more family friendly experience in the heart of the Cotswolds. Combining a selection of the country’s top street food chefs with a range of well-known music acts including Basement Jaxx, Rizzle Kicks and KT Tunstall, the Big Feastival provides a more relaxed vibe for all ages. Justin from CBeebies even made an appearance in 2013 to keep the kids entertained! The festival works to raise funds for the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation making this an all round feel good event.
5 dates and locations available: With top chef demonstrations, hundreds of food producers from around the UK and the promise of ‘a feast of culinary inspiration’, the BBC Good Food Shows of 2014 are bound to be a great day out for all you food lovers out there. Whichever your nearest location (Harrogate, Birmingham, Scotland or London) you will no doubt enjoy a day full of great conversation, new cooking tips, delicious tasters and chance to brush shoulders with some TV chef ‘royalty’!
6th-7th September: Located in the Royal Pump Room Gardens of Royal Leamington Spa, and offering free entry for all, this event offers a ’fun filled weekend’ with plenty of activities, entertainment and tasting for all ages including a Cookery Theatre for the adults, a Kids Cookery School and (best of all!) a BBQ masterclass area. This event will be well worth a visit in September, so put the date in your diary and don’t miss out!
Available across a range of dates and locations: Boasting to be the ‘Number 1 summer food and drink festival’, the Foodies Festivals certainly offer an upmarket spin on food events for 2014.

Some events of this food festival require booking in advance so it’s worth checking out the website, but even without booking BITE has a lot to give when it comes to an all round food experience.
18th-21st April 2014: Looking for something a little different when it comes to choosing a food festival to attend? Then this one might be for you! Located in London’s Southbank, the World Street Food Festival showcases the best and most creative street food traders, celebrating London’s multicultural food scene and encouraging all to try something new!

NNPC Faults Auditor-General On Audited Accounts
… Says AGF statement Smacks of Hallucination
ABUJA, October 17, (THEWILL) - The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC on Monday stated that the Corporation has an up-to-date audited accounts and refuted claims made by the Auditor General of the Federation, Samuel Orkura that the Corporation has not audited its account since inception.
In a press statement in Abuja, Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division of the Corporation, Dr. Levi Ajuonuma described the comment credited to Orkura during his appearance before the House Committee on Public Accounts as ridiculous, unfortunate and a dangerous advertisement of ignorance coming from a person who should know better.
“The statement is totally different from verifiable official documents in the possession of the NNPC, the office of the Auditor-General of the Federation as well as the Public Accounts Committee of both the Senate and House of Representatives. I can confirm without mincing words that the NNPC as a responsible commercial entity with international connections has not only audited its accounts but have been sending the detailed financial reports to the Senate, House of Reps and the office of the AGF. As a matter of fact, the Corporation’s audited accounts have been submitted to the Office of Auditor General of the Federation up to 2010,’’ Dr. Ajuonuma stated.
The NNPC Spokesman informed that in addition to the periodic submissions of the annual audited accounts to the office of the Auditor General as well as the relevant Committees of the National Assembly, the AGF nominates auditors from his office to come to the NNPC at least twice every year for periodic checks on the Federation revenue and to dispatch their report at the end of each check to the National Assembly.
“How can the AGF say that the NNPC has never submitted its account since inception when officers from his office completed the last periodic checks on the Corporation about three weeks ago? Before then it is also on record that the AGF submitted his post mortem analysis of the Corporation’s audited accounts and that of the Federation for 2004, 2005 and 2006 upstream activities of the NNPC to the Public Accounts Committees of the sixth session of the National Assembly. The Committees in turn invited us for defence based on the content or observations made by the AGF,’’ Dr. Ajuonuma said.
He informed that for so long the NNPC has engaged the services of reputable and world class auditing firms with proven track records to audit the accounts of the Corporation on a regular and sustained basis as demanded both by law and international best practices.
“The claim that the NNPC has never audited or submitted its accounts since inception is not only false but smacks of hallucination on the part of the AGF. As I speak, we have copies of duly received forwarded NNPC Audited Financial Statements dispatched periodically to the Wuse, Zone 2, Abuja office of the Auditor –General of the Federation in the last 10 years from year 2000 to 2009,’’ Ajuonuma argued.
He called on NNPC Joint venture partners and the International business community and financial institutions to discountenance the statement insisting that the Corporation remains committed to international best practices in all its transactions.
The NNPC, which is under the direct supervision of the controversial Minister of Petroleum, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke has been accused of lacking transparency in its dealings and affairs. The National Assembly, some analysts, local media and even international rating agencies have accused the government backed corporation of swimming in monumental corruption.
The Auditor – General listed the NNPC alongside, EFCC and 39 other government funded agencies and departments as having failed to submit any audited report to the office of Auditor General of the Federation since inception.
Mr. Samuel Orkura who disclosed this at the weekend at a meeting with the House of Representatives committee on public accounts also expressed his frustration saying he lacks the legislative arm of government to get the defaulting agencies to comply.
Orkula lamented that “the problem is further compounded by the fact that we have no powers to sanction those agencies who failed to transmit their audited reports to us.”
He said the federal government ministries, departments and agencies have in the past treated auditors with disdain and in some cases refused to make available their records for scrutiny.
According to him, “Most of the time, those we audit do not take us seriously; they tell us to our faces that our report won’t change things; that we may go ahead to write whatever report we can write about them but it would not affect them because the National Assembly has not been acting on audit reports.”

When working in construction, you may find yourself needing an excavator more often than you think. When your excavating needs become more frequent, you may want to consider owning an excavator instead of renting one. But how much does an excavator cost per day to own? And are there sufficient opportunities to run a profitable mini excavator business?
EXCAVATOR USAGE AND COSTS
The main reason owning an excavator might be more profitable than hiring one is to avoid the costs each time your business needs this type of machinery. Of course, it all depends on how much you are spending to hire an excavator, which changes from one state to the next. Excavator hire, on average, can cost between $220-$520 per day in NSW, depending on the brand, age, and size. This quickly adds up if you need to use an excavator daily.
It’s also important to note that a well-maintained excavator should have a lifespan of around 10,000 hours, so you need to consider how long you need to rent an excavator for each job to gauge how long it will last.
You will have to do some maths using your own data, such as how much your current rental company charges, how often you rent an excavator and the cost of ongoing service and maintenance should you buy one. If you use an excavator frequently, the costs will likely stack up to own one. In the long term, owning an excavator can remove having to pay for continued hiring costs over the years, which in turn can remove any unnecessary hassle with scheduling hires.
HOW TO START AN EXCAVATION BUSINESS
There is another benefit when you own an excavator instead of hiring one. You now have additional opportunities to make money by hiring your excavator out when it isn’t required – a bit like having a mini excavator business. Contracting your excavator and operators to other companies needing this equipment become potential one-off jobs, generating additional work and profits on top of your core business.
Here are some examples of how to make money with a mini excavator from contract work:
- Preparing land for construction work
- Unloading and loading work
- Clean-up work
- Digging holes for garden ponds
- Mining site work
You have an opportunity to rent out your excavator when not in use, giving you the ability to make money again without actually doing anything! This comes with its own benefits and risks, so have a detailed look at this opportunity if it’s something you want to consider doing.
OWNING AN EXCAVATOR: THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
It’s important to consider all the possible costs involved with owning an excavator to protect your investment and ensure it stays as reliable as it was the day you bought it.
For one, regular and scheduled excavator maintenance is something that needs to be done by a qualified mechanic to check the vitals for any issues – and this comes at an additional cost. Of course, maintenance helps you avoid any unexpected repairs – saving on significant costs when you least need them. You’ll also need to perform routine checks yourself each time you use your excavator, which involves knowing your machine inside and out, and understanding how each part looks and operates.
Size is another factor you will want to evaluate. What size excavator best suits your needs now and long term? At YELLO Equipment™, we have mini, small, medium and large excavators in stock, so there is plenty of variety to choose from – but do your homework first before making a purchase.
One final aspect of excavator ownership to consider is whether you have the necessary skills to operate the machine. Likely, you won’t require training yourself since you’re considering buying a machine, but some of your employees might require training, and again, this costs you in time and money while they come up to speed.
To summarise, buying an excavator can be a profitable investment provided you have enough work coming in to maximise its use, or you are willing to rent it out. You must also be prepared to pay the maintenance costs required to keep it in good working condition.
Excavators are a great asset to any business, contractor, or construction team. Evaluate your needs and get in touch with us to take a look at our excavators in detail. We have brand new SANY excavators for sale in mini, small, medium, and large sizes, as well as high performing used machines.

First attention getter: historical fantasy aspect and Nazi occupied Norway setting
A girl with a telepathic gift finds a boy clinging to his last hope during the war-torn climate of Europe, 1940.
At fifteen, Kit Cavendish is one the oldest evacuees to escape London at the start of the Second World War due to a long term illness that sees her stuck in a wheelchair most of the time. But Kit has an extraordinary psychic power: she can put herself into the minds of others, see through their eyes, feel their emotions, even talk to them – though she dares not speak out for fear of her secret ability being exposed.
As Kit settles into her new life in the North Wales village of Bryn Eira Bach, solitude and curiosity encourage her to gain better control of her gift. Until one day her search for information on the developing war leads her to the mind of Henri, a seventeen-year-old Norwegian boy witnessing the German occupation of his beloved city, Oslo. As Henri discovers more about the English girl occupying his mind, the psychic and emotional bonds between them strengthen and Kit guides him through an oppressive and dangerous time.
There are secrets to be uncovered, both at home and abroad, and it’s up to Kit and Henri to come together and fight their own battles in the depths of the world’s greatest war.
Star Rating - 4
I found myself really intrigued with the mechanics and possibilities of Kit’s gift. Maybe it’s the fantasy geek inside but I think that was my favorite part of the book. I loved seeing the limitations of her gift (i.e. how far she could travel or the cost on her physically), the different ways she could gather information with it, and the possible role it could play in the war. I think that will probably be the carrier for my interest in the rest of the series.
I enjoyed Kit herself as well. She’s a well-rounded young lady who has some serious trials in life to overcome. Not only having to evacuate from bombed-out London, but dealing with a serious, debilitating illness that requires constant medical care and serious readjustment of how Kit goes through her daily life. She shows courage and fortitude in facing all her trials that I admired.
At times, Kit came off as very juvenile and immature. How she utilized her gift at times and her focus on herself for parts of the book were off-putting to me. Yet, as the story progresses, Kit shows more and more maturity in how she interacts with the world. I think all the trials of WWII and how her world was affected by it helped her to grow up and become a woman rather than a teenage girl. I loved that journey.
The secondary characters were as vibrant and three-dimensional as Kit. I think I especially loved Doc Bickerstaff. He’s irritating, condescending, and socially awkward. However, he’s also a very dedicated doctor, a sufferer of depression, and courageous soldier, stopping to rescue his fellows rather than run to save his own skin. He, along with the whole Price family, made this book even more of a joy to read.
The historical aspects of the book were more muted than I was expecting. We do see how evacuation to the countryside affected the various parties involved, some aspects of the battlefront in North Africa, and occupation in France and Norway. The author shows her research in these areas. But, I think I was expecting more, especially in Norway. One of the characters being from Nazi occupied Norway was one of the things that originally drew me as that area of WWII Europe isn’t explored in fiction as often as other areas. However, there was enough of a historical emphasis that I didn’t feel lacking in that regard.
An intriguing way of exploring WWII, this book combines great characterizations, good historical details, and a fantastic psychic system to draw the reader in. This is book one of a trilogy, and I look forward to exploring the rest of this series.

Wally Broecker is one of the world's leading authorities on abrupt global climate change. More than two decades ago, he discovered the link between ocean circulation and climate change, in particular how shutdowns of the Great Ocean Conveyor--the vast network of currents that circulate water, heat, and nutrients around the globe--triggered past ice ages. Today, he is among the researchers exploring how our planet's climate system can abruptly "flip-flop" from one state to another, and who are weighing the implications for the future. In The Great Ocean Conveyor, Broecker introduces readers to the science of abrupt climate change while providing a vivid, firsthand account of the field's history and development.
Could global warming cause the conveyor to shut down again, prompting another flip-flop in climate? What were the repercussions of past climate shifts? How do we know such shifts occurred? Broecker shows how Earth scientists study ancient ice cores and marine sediments to probe Earth's distant past, and how they blend scientific detective work with the latest technological advances to try to predict the future. He traces how the science has evolved over the years, from the blind alleys and wrong turns to the controversies and breathtaking discoveries. Broecker describes the men and women behind the science, and reveals how his own thinking about abrupt climate change has itself flip-flopped as new evidence has emerged.
Rich with personal stories and insights, The Great Ocean Conveyor opens a tantalizing window onto how Earth science is practiced.

Straub Brewery: Third oldest brewery in U.S. calls the PA Wilds home
Elk County | Elk Country landscape of the PA Wilds
Straub Brewery traces its roots all the way back to 1872 and continues to brew from it its original St. Marys location, part of the Elk Country landscape of the Pennsylvania Wilds.
The third oldest brewery in the United States, Straub is an international award-winning brewery founded by German immigrant Peter Straub. He left his family and homeland at the age of 19 in search of the American Dream.
Today, Straub Brewery is a member of the prestigious fraternity of American Legacy Breweries (ALB)™. The company is still owned by the Straub family, with its current President and CEO, William Brock, being the great-great-grandson of founder Peter Straub.
Glassware continues to serve up both Straub’s historical flagship brews, as well as its evolving lineup of craft beers, to the thousands of local, national, and international visitors. And while visitors can still receive a tour of the brewery and get a tasting from the Eternal Tap, they can now also enjoy an even fuller experience by grabbing a bite to eat at the new Visitor Center & Tap Room on site.
Completed in 2019, Straub’s Visitor Center & Tap Room offers tasty treats and a place to relax with friends and family in both indoor and outdoor settings. There’s also a gift shop that features Straub proud gear and some other treats from local makers.
In 2017, Straub Brewery won the PA Wilds Best Brand Ambassador Champion Award for its contributions toward promoting and developing the PA Wilds brand through product development and storytelling. One project highlighted as part of Straub’s Champion Award nomination was the Peter Straub Signature Brews Adventure Series craft beer campaign, which named brews after outdoor recreation destinations in the PA Wilds and highlighted the GPS coordinates for finding it.
Parts of this article were pulled from an article written by Ed Byers for the PA Wilds Are Calling blog. View the original article here.
Straub is an Experience Maker member in the Wilds Cooperative of PA. Check out Straub’s Wilds Cooperative of PA profile, where you can find contact information or leave a review/recommendation. Learn more here.

Enhanced antitumor activity and attenuated cardiotoxicity of Epirubicin combined with Paeonol against breast cancer.
Tumour Biol. 2016 Sep ;37(9):12301-12313. Epub 2016 Jun 7. PMID: 27272157
Epirubicin is widely used for the therapy of various breast cancers. However, it has serious adverse side effects, particularly cardiotoxicity, which can cause irreversible damage in patients. Paeonol, an active component from Moutan Cortex, enhances antitumor activity of antineoplastics and reduces toxicities induced by chemotherapeutics. In this study, we investigated the anticancer activity of Paeonol in combination with Epirubicin against breast cancer and the alleviated effect of Paeonol on cardiotoxicity induced by Epirubicin. The apoptosis results and the coefficient of drug interaction values suggested significantly synergistic in combination of Paeonol and Epirubicin to 4T1 and MCF-7 cells. We further examined antitumor activities of Paeonol or/and Epirubicin in vivo in BALB/c mice and found that co-treatment of Paeonol and Epirubicin had a synergistic inhibitory effect on tumor growth and enhanced apoptosis in tumors in vivo compared with Epirubicin alone. Increased apoptosis was associated with the activation of apoptosis-related proteins including PARP, Bax, caspase 3, and inhibition of p38/JNK/ERK MAPKs. Moreover, Paeonol exhibited a mitigative effect on Epirubicin-induced cardiotoxicity through suppressing NF-kB pathway. In conclusion, Paeonol (a) enhanced the antitumor activity of Epirubicin in a synergistic manner against breast cancer cells via inhibiting p38/JNK/ERK MAPKs and (b) alleviated Epirubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by suppressing NF-kB pathway. These findings suggest that combination of Paeonol and Epirubicin is potentially applicable for breast cancer treatment.

I was born in Gulfport, Miss., and am the oldest male of a family with five kids. I am a military brat and no stranger to moving. My dad is from Louisiana and I learned the Louisiana lifestyle at an early age. I have been married to Sandy for over 25 years and have one son and one daughter. I moved to Lake Charles in 1984 and spent five years at Bayou 104, then 11 years at LA 99 and two years at KQ-98. I also worked for Clear Channel in Beaumont, KQIS in Lafayette and Citadel Broadcasting in Baton Rouge. Most of my career has been spent along the Gulf Coast. I have worked on the air through seven hurricanes and an ice storm. I was very humbled when awarded the Allstate Insurance Good Hands Award for my efforts with the Clear Channel Beaumont team while covering Hurricane Rita. Only seven non-insurance agents have ever received that award. I love to fish (and have my secret spots in the lake and river system) and I'm a big baseball and football fan. I coached Little League Baseball for 10 years, and kids’ basketball for two years, producing a 22-0 championship team! I'm very glad to be back in Lake Charles, working with long-time friends.

Community conversation to address food security, personal health in Lawrence, Douglas County
At a community meeting Thursday at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, the Douglas County Community Foundation hopes to bring area partners, individuals and new voices together in one space to talk about the big-picture issues of food security and personal health.
“This session will largely revolve around the idea of health equity and how we can really move the needle for those who may be food insecure as well as who have issues related to the social determinants of health that affect them more greatly than others in our community,” said Chip Blaser, executive director of DCCF.
He referenced varied life expectancy across zip codes in Douglas County. There’s an eight-year gap from the rural western side of the county, where the average life expectancy is 83.9 years, to northern and eastern Lawrence, where it’s 75.7 years. In the middle, at 80.3 years, is most of the city of Lawrence and the northwestern and southeastern portions of the county.
Ahead of the meeting, Blaser and two of the scheduled speakers shared some background information on health equity, food insecurity and what’s going on at the local level.
“That health equity piece is kind of a backbone of what we’d like to accomplish,” Blaser said.
Health equity in Lawrence and Douglas County
Averages can be misleading, and further breakdowns of data can tell a very different story. One such statistic recently caught the eye of Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department Informatics Director Sonia Jordan.
According to American Community Survey data, Jordan said, the overall rate of poverty for Douglas County kids ages 0-5 is 15.7% — that’s below the 2017 national average, 20.1%, and the state average, 16.7%.
By race, however, the numbers are very different. Jordan said that the percentage of non-Hispanic white kids ages 0-5 living in poverty in Douglas County is 11.5%. For African American kids in the same age group, it’s 72.1% — a more than sixfold difference.
Out of all kids younger than 18 in Douglas County, Jordan said, 9.9% of non-Hispanic white kids and 30.1% of African American kids live in poverty; however, “That’s really the most vulnerable age in which we’re going to establish health habits,” she said of the 0- to 5-year-olds.
Jordan helped the health department compile its 2018 Health Equity Report, available in full online via ldchealth.org, and she’ll share further information about the report at the DCCF meeting.
Among some other notable statistics in the report is median household income. Douglas County’s overall is $52,698; for African American and Asian populations, the numbers are $31,042 and $28,313, respectively. According to prior research in the report, a Douglas County resident must earn $33,800 per year to afford a two-bedroom apartment in Lawrence, which means that on average, African American and Asian populations will likely struggle to find safe and affordable housing.
“These are huge issues — issues that can take generations to change,” Jordan said. “And when we look at how far we are removed as a society or as a country from things like the Jim Crow era, for instance, we are not that far removed from institutionalized, systematic horrors of discrimination and racism — overt discrimination, overt racism.”
From a public health perspective, she said, policy advocacy is one way of getting as far upstream as possible. Bringing community leaders, both traditional and nontraditional, together to talk about the issues is a good starting point to have a narrative about what these issues mean in the community and how to make it better, Jordan said.
She related an analogy that she thought fit the situation well: “Do we have to boil the ocean to start to see progress? Or can we just focus on our little area and try to work there and then hopefully over time, we see issues start to change?” she said.
That also means hearing different perspectives from different populations as policies are being implemented at the city and county levels.
“I would just advocate that the success of our community is really going to depend on how well we are able to support and strengthen our population so that we all have an equal opportunity for health over the course of a lifetime,” Jordan said.
“That, really, to me is what the crux of the matter is — that everyone should have those opportunities in place to live a long and healthy life within this community,” she continued, “and that’s just not the case right now.”
Meeting people where they are
Poverty and food insecurity are some of the top issues that have been highlighted in community health planning initiatives in recent years.
One of the most popular ideas to come out of a LiveWell Douglas County health planning meeting in July 2018 was a mobile food pantry, to bring fresh, perishable food to those in need. Less than a year later, that idea is close to becoming a reality, said Christina Holt, chair elect of LiveWell Douglas County.
Holt said that in conversations and focus groups with folks who are facing food insecurity and those in homeless outreach programs, she heard over and over again that transportation was one of the biggest issues. She said there are a number of vulnerable populations, including those with disabilities, seniors and households without vehicles, for whom trying to take a bus to visit a food pantry would be an extreme hardship. Transportation is also a complicating factor for those in communities outside of Lawrence, such as Eudora and Baldwin City.
“Many people who could benefit from Just Food were not able to do so because of transportation barriers,” Holt said, referring to the food bank at 1000 E. 11th St.
Efforts are underway to transform a truck into a mobile food pantry with refrigeration and to plan the truck’s routes, Holt said.
Even for those for whom transportation wasn’t a concern, oftentimes area food pantries’ hours were, Holt said. Just Food has adjusted from having evening hours just a couple of days per month to now hold them four days per week, and she said the Ballard Community Services food pantry has added Saturday hours.
Holt also mentioned efforts underway to reduce food waste. The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department and LiveWell have been working with Lawrence Public Schools and the University of Kansas to divert more usable, healthy food to be available to those in need, she said; also, area restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores and institutional partners are donating leftovers, and Holt said Just Food recovers 2,000 to 3,000 pounds of food each day.
“Having the mobile food pantry will be a great way to help disseminate that food to those in need,” Holt said.
In addition, as the Journal-World has reported, Baldwin City is offering a food program for the first time this summer to offer free lunches for kids.
“That is huge for reducing barriers to access to healthy summer meals for kiddos in that community,” Holt said.
There are other “Fuel Up 4 Summer” sites around Lawrence, plus one in Lecompton. More information is available at fuelup4summer.com.
Holt plans to share more information about these efforts and more news from LiveWell during the DCCF conversation.
More about the DCCF meeting
Thursday’s will be the second of three such convenings that DCCF is hosting this year; the first, in April, focused on affordable housing, and the third, in September, is on behavioral health.
The foundation’s goal is to bring community partners together along with individuals who want to help, whether they’re “charitably inclined,” they’re affected by the issues of discussion or they’re just interested in learning more, Blaser said.
Blaser said after speakers give short presentations, those who attend the community conversation will break into small groups to discuss the issues and brainstorm possible solutions, “as well as ways people feel like they can and want to be involved in trying to find solutions to really make our communities healthier as a whole.”
Holt said she hoped that even folks who are brand new to this kind of effort would come to the meeting to learn more.
The community conversation is scheduled for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, June 27 in Flory Meeting Hall at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 2120 Harper St.
“This is meant to be in a very inclusive discussion and call for ideas of how we as a community can address these issues,” Blaser said.

President Trump has suggested there's too much "unnecessary" technology in modern-day airplanes. In a series of tweets Tuesday, Trump said planes have become too complicated for pilots to handle and the technology "creates danger."
Trump's comments came after a plane crash in Ethiopia killed all 157 people on board. The same type of plane — a Boeing 737 Max 8 — was involved in another crash in Indonesia just months ago, and is now under global scrutiny. The recent crashes have raised questions about airplane technology and pilot training on new systems.
“Airplanes are becoming far too complex to fly. Pilots are no longer needed, but rather computer scientists from MIT," Trump tweeted. "I don’t want Albert Einstein to be my pilot. I want great flying professionals that are allowed to easily and quickly take control of a plane!”
But experts — including one at MIT — say technology has made planes safer.
"Airplanes have actually gotten much easier to fly and much safer," MIT aeronautics professor R. John Hansman told WBUR. "The automation systems that we have on airplanes have demonstrably made airplanes safer."
Hansman, the director of MIT's International Center for Air Transportation, said most new airplanes are flown through a computer, and "humans right now are on board in part to make sure that you can deal with ambiguity."
That "ambiguity" could be bad weather, a sick passenger or a problem on the runway, where a human is needed to step in and make adjustments during a flight, according to Hansman.
This isn't the first time Trump has questioned technology. In 2017, he suggested the Navy turn back to "goddamn steam" to power its catapult system on a new high-tech aircraft carrier instead of an electromagnetic system. Trump once again evoked Albert Einstein to criticize the technology.
"It sounded bad to me. Digital. They have digital. What is digital? And it’s very complicated, you have to be Albert Einstein to figure it out," Trump told Time magazine then.
Boeing would not comment on Trump's tweets about airplanes, but the company's website calls some of the technological features of its 737 Max planes "a pilot's best friend."
And the aerospace behemoth plans to push its technology forward by tapping into the local innovation ecosystem. Boeing is developing an autonomous aircraft center in Kendall Square that will focus on autonomous transportation, robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. The center is expected to be complete in 2020 and will anchor MIT's massive Kendall square development.
It could take months to determine the cause of Sunday's Boeing crash. For now, the company's 737 Max airplanes — its fastest-selling planes ever — have been grounded in the U.S. after an order by Trump Wednesday. The grounding follows similar decisions by several other countries.

“This undoubtedly is a major production. […] The pieces performed here are of great beauty and fully deserve to be recorded. It allows us to catch a glimpse of the brilliance of the music performed across Europe, in this case in the southern Netherlands. Lastly, the performances by Psallentes are superb. This is singing of the highest calibre. The voices blend perfectly and the singers use historical pronunciation. You won’t hear often such exciting performances […]. This is a splendid production which no lover of renaissance sacred music should miss.”

Texas alternative rock act Jon Car has dropped a new single and lyric video, “Wild Things“. Having started playing music at the early age of 4, self-taught vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jon Car has developed into a potent alternative rock act, led by an unforgettable vocal.
Having played over 900 shows with his band Hyde After Nine, Car made the decision to carve his own path and pursue a solo career, to optimize the impact of his unique songwriting style and captivating delivery. Led by July’s “The Danger”, Car’s upcoming material nods to a dexterous array of influences from across rock and beyond. The visceral accessibility of Hinder’s Austin Winkler meeting the lyrical elements of Ivan L. Moody (Five Finger Death Punch). The power of a Chris Daughtry juxtaposing luscious pop tones a la Justin Timberlake.
With Car’s resonating vocals and poignant lyricism catching the attention of Affiant Records, new single “Wild Things” sets a mouth-watering taste of what is to come on upcoming EP, ‘DREAM-119‘, out September 10th.

Awhile back I joined CrowdTap.
Well, I have recently decided to be more active and I am loving the freebies and goodies that I get to sample.
Recently, I was sent a kit of seasonings and spices to use while grilling.
The kit included:
Just opening the package made my taste buds begin to water!
My favorite has to be the brown sugar and bourbon barbecue sauce.
I refrain from licking it out of the bottle, but it's delicious on chicken and burgers.
It's even tasty on grilled veggies.
And leftover grilled meat that's made into a sandwich.
I just can't get enough of it.
I am loving all the fresh and local veggies that I can get this time of year.
Lucky for me, the kiddos like them, too!
The Spiced Brandy & Herb Marinate scared me at first, since we aren't 'spicy folk'.
But the chicken that I marinated and grilled turned out fabulous!
Thank you to Crowdtap and McCormick Grill Mates!
