If you were a physician and were trying to assess the health of a patient, you could run through their dietary intake regimen, ask about their activity level, listen to the lungs and check for symptoms, but you’d be missing a key element: the blood test. A blood test will tell a doctor a host of things that observation or a patient’s history can’t provide.
It’s the same with a plant.
Pat Purdy is a farmer and rancher located near Picabo, Idaho. In the 2022 growing season, he added a sap analysis to his crop management toolbox. This effectually reveals what nutrients are available to (and being used by) the plant compared to a soil or tissue test.
Sap analysis involves taking a closer look at the nutrients that are active in a plant. During a growing season, the crop nutrient demand can shift drastically. An in-season test can reveal any deficiencies and optimize amendment input costs. A sap test will analyze levels of zinc, sulfur, sodium, silicon, selenium, potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen, nickel, molybdenum, manganese, magnesium, iron, copper, chloride, calcium, boron, aluminum, electrical conductivity and pH.
Purdy offers this disqualifier, “I’m not a soil scientist, not a plant scientist, and certainly by no means an expert on sap analysis. This was really our rookie season, and we learned an awful lot in this process.”
He says, “Tissue testing is really a measure of the total accumulation of the nutrients in the plant tissue up to that time that you took that test; whereas sap analysis is a much more dynamic measurement of the nutrients that are moving through the vascular system or the circulatory system of the plant.”
A sap analysis measures all three forms of nitrogen – nitrate, ammonium and total nitrogen. Timely sap analysis will show nutrient deficiencies before they become visibly apparent in the plant.
Purdy used sap sampling on a field of brown mustard seed in three runs – one on June 13, one on June 29 and one on July 19. In his words, he is working with “pretty poor, sandy soil” that was taken out of desert ground many years ago.
The sap analysis process
When taking a sap sample, the preferred method is to take some old, lower leaves and some of the fully formed new leaves and place them in two separate sample bags. The next step is to submit the two samples together to the lab. These tests can show what is happening right now, along with what happened in the old leaves.
For their first test in June, Purdy says, “My nitrogen use efficiency in my new leaf was only 74.6 percent, and my old leaf nitrogen use conversion efficiency was only 58 percent. Ideally, it'd be 100 percent, and 58 percent is a good solid ‘F,’ and 74.6 percent is a good solid ‘C’. So we're not doing very well in our nitrogen use efficiency.” Purdy says the plants had quite a bit of nitrogen locked up in the ammonium and nitrate forms. He also noticed they were missing some critical micronutrients needed to convert the ammonium and nitrate forms into useful nitrogen forms. He had virtually no molybdenum, was critically low on iron and boron, and lacked copper, phosphorus and potassium. Essentially, the lack of key nutrients was blocking the ammonium and nitrate from being converted into plant-useable forms. Admittedly, the sandy soil undoubtedly contributed to not retaining water or nutrients well in general.
Armed with the results of the sap analysis, Purdy used a ground rig sprayer two separate times to apply an additional 15 pounds of nitrogen, 2.6 pounds of phosphate, 1 pound of potash, and varying amounts of zinc, iron, manganese, copper, boron, molybdenum, cobalt and carbon per acre. Traditional methods would have probably been to apply 100 to 150 pounds of nitrogen on a crop like this in total for the season. Purdy pre-planted with 30 units of nitrogen, sulfur and carbon.
By July 19, they pulled a final sap sample. Those samples showed significant improvement, moving into the “A” range for nitrogen use efficiency. The needle also moved dramatically in boron, copper, iron and manganese, and bumped up the molybdenum and sulfur.
“It takes some training and experience to learn how to read the sap results,” Purdy says. He strongly recommends working with an experienced person to help interpret the results.
The net result was that Purdy produced a mustard crop with above-average yields. He used less than 50 units of nitrogen and put a higher emphasis on micronutrients. “For half or a third of the typical nitrogen application, we were able to meet that plant’s nitrogen needs by focusing on getting the metabolism working in an efficient manner, versus just pouring more nitrogen on the crop, which is what historically would have been done,” he says.
“I think we had very real successful results with this,” Purdy says. “We're very happy with what we learned. We certainly understand a lot more now than we did when we first started. But we're still just one year through our rookie season, so … we've got a lot to learn. It's definitely a process.”

Federal Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit
Solar incentives are designed to make renewable energy usage more affordable through financial incentives for individuals who install solar panels on their homes. Incentives may include things like discounts, cash back or monthly utility bill credits. Some incentives are provided by the federal government, while others are provided by the Texas government or by your specific utility company, county or municipality. You might qualify for any of the following types of solar incentives:
- Net Metering: You can sign a net metering agreement with your Crane utility company, that may apply to all or a percentage of the excess electricity your solar panels generate. Your utility company will then subtract this value from your monthly utility bill.
- Tax Exemptions: Tax exemptions can come in two forms. The first is sales tax exemption, which is applied when you purchase solar panels. The second is property tax exemption, which allows you to exclude the value added by your solar system when calculating property tax for your home.
- Tax Credits: Tax credits lower, dollar-for-dollar, the total amount of tax you owe the federal government. Tax credits differ from tax deductions.
- Rebates: Some solar companies will help you claim a rebate, or partial refund of your purchase, for your solar panels. States or counties will also sometimes offer limited-time rebates. The value of a rebate will usually come off the total price before tax credits are calculated.
Federal Solar Incentives
When thinking about solar incentives, federal incentives are likely the first thing that comes to mind. The solar incentive that you're most familiar with is probably the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which provides a credit on your taxes equal to a certain percentage of the cost of your solar system.
The ITC is applied to the total cost of installing solar panels, including the panels themselves as well as accessories, equipment and labor. This credit can be claimed for panels installed after January 1, 2006 on a primary or secondary residence that you own, as long as it is located in the United States. From its original value of 30% of the total cost, the credit has fluctuated slightly between 26-30%, and you may qualify for varying percentages depending on when your project was completed. There is no maximum amount you can claim.
To know exactly how much money the ITC could save you, contact your local Crane solar panel installation expert.
The ITC was both renewed and expanded by the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022. It's also now called the Clean Energy Credit. The Clean Energy Credit bolsters the current credit, increasing it up to 30% for solar installation projects started after January 1, 2022 and completed by the end of 2032. After this, the percentage will be reduced slightly each year until the end of the program in 2035. Starting in 2023, the expansion to the program will also make it easier to get credit for energy storage systems.
More information about the new Inflation Reduction Act can be found here. Your local Crane solar panel company is the best resource for answering your questions regarding the new Clean Energy Credit and how it may apply to you.
State & Local Solar Incentives
Some solar incentives may be offered at the local or state level. As with federal incentives, these might include rebates, tax credits and more. The incentives — which may be handled by the state of Texas, or by your county or municipality — may be offered for only a limited time, or on an ongoing basis.
Next Steps for Installing Solar in Crane
Solar incentives may be offered by your local utlity company, the Texas government or the federal government. The growing number of solar incentives available has helped nationwide use of solar energy increase greatly in the last 15 years. We recommend talking to your local Crane solar installation expert to learn more about these incentives and to make sure that you're getting all of the money you can for your solar system.

Tomography is a technique for creating three-dimensional images of objects without taking them apart. Instead of making the image directly, it is computed from a series of projection images, recorded while viewing the object from a range of angles.
The most common example of tomography can be found in a medical CT-scanner. An assembly, consisting of an X-ray source and an X-ray detector, rotate around the patient, while acquiring X-ray photos from a full range of angles. This movie illustrates how a full CT-scan is made of a simulation patient (actually, a toy figure) in a micro-CT scanner. After recording all the X-ray photos, the series of images is then used as input for a reconstruction algorithm. The reconstruction algorithm computes a three-dimensional image of the internal organs of the patient, based on the two-dimensional projection images (the X-ray photos). When the 3D volume has been computed, it can be visualized in various ways. It is now possible to display slices through the patient's body, or display a 3D volume rendering.
Traditional reconstruction methods that are used in nearly all practical applications of tomography, such as the Filtered Backprojection method, are capable of computing accurate reconstructions quite fast. However, they require a large number of X-ray photos (many viewing angles), and a full 180 degree rotation. If few photos are available, or only from a limited angular range, they perform badly. Making many X-ray photos usually means a longer scanning time. In some applications of tomography, mainly in industry and science, it is not even possible to record many images.
In practice, we often have certain knowledge about the patient, or object, that has been scanned. For example, our simulation patient Bob is obviously not a real patient, but a toy. Therefore, we can expect his body to consist of plastic and air. If Bob were real, he would mainly consist of blood, bone and soft tissue. Traditional reconstruction methods do not use any of this knowledge at all. At our research group ASTRA, we develop new reconstruction methods that take this type of prior knowledge into account. For example, if we know that Bob consists of plastic, we can reconstruct his body from only a very limited number of X-ray photos, even if his arms stick out of the X-ray photo in some of the views!
Our computational methods that incorporate prior knowledge are very powerful, but they also have a major drawback. Computing a full 3D reconstruction, which is already a time-consuming procedure for conventional tomography, requires a huge amount of computation. Reconstructing a full 3D volume consisting of a billion volume elements takes several days, even on our small cluster, consisting of four quad-core PCs. The FASTRA allows us to perform these computations within an hour, which brings our techniques into the realm of real-world application opportunities.
The most common practical example of tomography can be found in the medical CT-scanner. Less known is the fact that tomography has many important applications outside the field of medical imaging as well. In fact, tomography can be used, and is being used, at all imaginable scales. It reaches from the reconstruction of individual atom positions in nanocrystals at sub-Angstrom resolution, to the determination of galaxy locations in astronomy. The entire spectrum of scales between these two extremes is covered fairly well by a range of other applications. Most research groups that deal with tomographic image reconstruction focus on a specific application domain, such as Medical Imaging or Materials Science. Yet, reconstruction problems at different scales share many common features and can often be solved using similar methods. In the ASTRA research group of the University of Antwerp we target the entire range of tomographic reconstruction problems, at all scales. By focusing on the underlying general mathematical problems, instead of a specific application field, we develop reconstruction methods that can be shared between the various application fields.

With branches in 30 countries, customers worldwide receive results they can trust. As such, an accurate method of measuring very small changes in resistance is required. Complete your measurement chain with our optical sensors and the matching software. One microstrain is the strain producing deformation of one part per million. In practice, the magnitude of measured strain is very small, so it is often expressed as microstrain (µε), which is ε x 10-6. One microstrain is the strain producing deformation of one part per million. They use interference fringes produced by optical flats to measure strain. For example, the change in length of a spring, \(\Delta L\) relative to the original length of the spring, \(L\) describes the strain of the spring, \(\epsilon = \Delta L/ L\). Strain gage inputs (quarter, half and full bridge) can be connected via the RJ45 connector and set up with the supplied software. 1.0-1. Strain gages are available commercially with the most common nominal resistance values of 120 Ω, 350 Ω, and 1,000 Ω. Optical Interrogators for Fiber Optic Sensing. Therefore, to measure the strain requires accurate measurement of very small changes in resistance. Basics and fundamentals of strain measurements with focus on electric strain gauges and Experimental Stress Analysis. These calculations are based on Hooke’s Law. Fiber optic strain sensors are also a significant solution offered by HBM. The internal quarter bridge resistance is fixed; three versions are available for 120, 350 or 1000 Ω inputs. All you need to know about strain measurements, selecting the right gauges, sensors and technologies, including valuable tips and tricks from the best strain measurement experts. Definition of Strain Strain can be positive (tensile) or negative (compressive). A strain is a dimensionless quantity and is usually expressed in percentage. An optional trend detection allows to track the linear trend of strain gauge signals with respect to the reference channel (e.g. An example is shown in Fig. At first cumbersome mechanical devices were used for strain measurement, which dis-played the strain using a lever ratio of one thousand or more. Whatever your application HBM has the right measurement data acquisition system or instrument for your needs. The strain is the ratio of two lengths, so it is a dimensionless quantity (a number that does not depend on the choice of measurement units). Because strain measurement typically requires the detection of very small mechanical deformations, and small resistance changes, the resultant magnitude of most strain measurements in stress analysis applications is commonly between 2000 and 10000me, and rarely larger than about 3000me. Since the changes of length are usually very small, the standard fractional prefixes of the SI system are used. Stress is the ratio of applied force F to a cross section area - defined as "force per unit area". Most strain gage-based transducers and load cells are assigned units of measure for weight, force, tension, pressure, torque, and deflection with a full-scale value measured in mV/V of excitation. Strain is a measure of the change in shape or size of an object relative to its original shape or size. Weighing Equipment. Please send a message and a representative will contact you shortly. For example, a load cell with a 10-V excitation supply and a 2-mV/V-gain factor generates an output of 20 mV at full load, whether the load cell was designed to handle 10, 100, or 1,000 lbs. Strain Gauge Measurement – A Tutorial What is Strain? 1. tensile stress- stress that tends to stretch or lengthen the material - acts normal to the stressed area 2. compressive stress- stress that tends to compress or shorten the material - acts normal to the stressed area 3. shearing stress- stress that tends to shear the material - acts in plane to the stressed area at right-angles to compressive or tensile … This value is dimensionless (the units of length cancel out). Divisions is the classification system for the units in Strain Tactics.A unit's Division determines their special ability or role in the squad, such as medic, decontamination, special forces, and more. Instrumentation m+p Coda supports our Ethernet-based m+p VibRunner and m+p VibMobile measurement hardware as well as the LXI-based EX1629 instrument from VTI Instruments for strain measurements and experimental stress analysis. In practice, the magnitude of measured strain is very small, so it is often expressed as microstrain (µε), which is ε x 10 -6. In practice, the strain measurements rarely involve quantities larger than a few millistrain. or mm/mm. Strain may depend on location. The most widely used characteristic that varies in proportion to strain is electrical resistance. Stress is defined as applied force per unit area It usually occurs as a result of an applied force but is often due to the effects of force within a material or within a larger system. Phone: +1 800-578-4260. Tutorials, applications, product presentations, etc. Measurement transmitters, strain gauge conditioners Process indicators and controllers Measurement acquisition units Wireless electronics Applications Force measurement Torque measurement Load limiting Strain measurement When this is written in equation form, = L/L, we can see that strain is a ratio and, therefore, dimensionless. From a geometric perspective, strain recorded during any test may be regarded as a distance change between two points on a test article. Stress 1. To meet the high standards of the company, optical sensors based on Fiber Bragg Grating technology are available through HBM FiberSensing. Strain is the amount of deformation of a body due to an applied force. Extensometers generally record a strain over a significant length of material, typically up to 25 mm, or greater. force). It is possible to configure the gauge to measure different values, for instance: strain, torque, pressure, or weight. See Figure 2. Thus, strain rate is in units of inverse time (such as s −1). ZET 7111 digital strain gauges with basic settings measure the magnitude of the relative deformation (when strain bridges are used) or the magnitude of impact forces (when a strain gauge is used). the effect of an applied external force (mechanical strain), the influence of heat and cold (thermal strain), internal forces from the non-uniform cooling of cast components, forging, or welding (residual strain). The units are typically mm/mm or in/in. A single optical fiber can hold various sensors (with different measurands) in complex sensing networks. Imperial & USCS Units of Measurement Are Different Because… In 1824 … Available in configurable versions of ready-to-install sensor chains, HBM optical strain sensors can be bonded, spot welded, attached, or directly cast in different materials, structures and components. Combine them with HBM's optical interrogators for a complete measurement chain. Typical measures for strain are less than 2 mm/m for steel and are often expressed in micro-strain units.

We are officially on the home stretch of our little literary venture—InDigest Magazine (at www.indigestmag.com coming Dec. 3)—and we are all feeling a little pressure. There’s a lot to be done, but all the hard work, we think (and hopefully you will, too), will be worth it in the end, as we have been extremely fortunate in the fact that some very talented people have agreed to be a part of this thing from the beginning. For the time being check us out on Facebook and at MySpace to get a feel for what we will be all about.
I really can’t express enough thanks to the people who, by allowing us to put their work in “print,” forced us to take this endeavor to a level already exceeding (even before the first issue!) the limits we had originally set for ourselves. A special thanks among this group must go out to Alex Lemon, a talented and accomplished poet who, from our very first request, has been helpful, responsive, and encouraging.

The Farmer's Kitchen spent more time opening then most restaurants stay afloat. Rumors of its impending arrival began years ago (I recall a large "Coming Sprint 2007" sign on the door for a long while), but now it is finally open for breakfast and lunch. The Kitchen is located at the corner of Selma and Morning Side Court, at the edge of the Sunday Hollywood Farmer's Market and makes its food from the wares of the market vendors. A testament to slow food, the Kitchen is a project of Sustainable Economic Enterprises of Los Angeles (SEE-LA), the nonprofit organization that runs the Hollywood market. The Farmer's Kitchen has limited hours; it's only open from 11am to 3pm, Tuesday through Friday, but on Sunday, market day, it's open from 7:30am to 2:00pm.
The Market menu varies, presumably based on what they find at the market. The day I was there, I had a nice version of Chilaquiles, though it was more of a scramble (or a migas) than a traditional Mexican chilaquiles. Along with chips from the Market's excellent chip vendor, the plate was loaded with eggs, chicken, juicy, fresh bell peppers and onions and topped with a very nice guacamole. My only complaint, which was true of much of the food, was that it was a bit underseasoned, but a few shakes of salt made up for that. The accompanying beans, a medley of black beans and black eyed peas were both underseasoned and a bit undercooked. The serving was huge for a mere $7.
Strawberry waffles consisted of a huge serving of four waffle squares with strawberry sauce and whipped cream. A nice enough if unexciting dish, and the waffles were a bit soggy.
I like the idea of the Farmer's Kitchen, but I'd like to see a little better execution. Using farm-fresh produce is a wonderful thing, but it's not the only element of a great dish. If they tweak their seasoning a bit and put a bit more effort into preparation, they could have a real winner. I know I'll be rooting for them.

2 Aristotle’s Traits of a Tragic Hero Common characteristics of a tragic hero according to Aristotle
3 Basic Definition of Tragedy A drama in which a character (usually a good and noble person of high rank) is brought to a disastrous end in his or her confrontation with a superior force (fortune, the gods, social forces, universal values), but also comes to understand the meaning of his or her deeds and to accept an appropriate punishment. (The Norton Introduction to Literature, 7th ed)
4 Aristotle’s Definition of Tragedy Tragedy depicts the downfall of a basically good person through some fatal error or misjudgment, producing suffering and insight on the part of the protagonist and arousing pity and fear on the part of the audience.
5 Tragic HeroThe tragic hero is a man of noble stature or high position. He is not an ordinary man, but a man with outstanding quality and greatness about him. His own destruction is for a greater cause or principle.“high position” usually means a king, duke, prince, company owner, etc.
6 The Tragic Hero: Trait One The tragic hero must be essentially admirable and good--usually of noble birthThe tragic hero is a man of noble stature. He is not an ordinary man, but a man with outstanding quality and greatness about him. His own destruction is for a greater cause or principle.The fall of a scoundrel or villain evokes applause rather than pity. Audiences cheer when the bad guy goes down. The nobler and more admirable the person is, the greater our anxiety or grief at his or her downfall.
7 The Tragic Hero: Trait Two HAMARTIA – a.k.a. the tragic flaw that eventually leads to his downfall.A fatal error or simple mistake on the part of the protagonist that eventually leads to the final catastrophe.The tragic hero recognizes his or her flaw and its consequences, but only after it is too late to change the course of events.
8 The Tragic Hero: Trait Three PERIPETEIA - a reversal of fortune brought about by the hero’s tragic flawOnce the transgression is realized, the character enters the stage of recognition and will undergo a reversal of fortune or fall from high to low.
9 The Tragic Hero: Trait Four ANAGNORISIS - tragic recognition or insightHis actions result in an increase of self- awareness and self-knowledgeA moment of clairvoyant insight or understanding in the mind of the tragic hero as he suddenly comprehends the web of fate in which he is entangled.
10 The Tragic Hero: Trait Five CATHARSIS - transformation through transactionA feeling of emotional purging on the part of the audience during a tragedy--The audience feels pity and fear at first, only to feel relief and exhilaration at the end through catharsis.The audience must feel pity and fear for this character. Pity and fear are the natural human responses to pain and suffering – especially to that which can strike anyone at any time.
11 In a true tragedy, the hero’s demise must come as a result of some personal error or decision. There is no such thing as an innocent victim in tragedy, nor can a genuinely tragic downfall ever be purely a matter of blind accident or bad luck. The tragic hero must always bear at least some responsibility for his own doom.
12 Characteristics of the Tragic Hero According to Aristotle:Usually of noble birthHamartia – a.k.a. the tragic flaw that eventually leads to his downfallPeripeteia – a reversal of fortune brought about by the hero’s tragic flawAnagnorisis - his actions result in an increase of self- awareness and self-knowledgeCatharsis - the audience must feel pity and fear for this character

Mike Lee is a saxophone master who has worked in the New York City area for almost two decades. His latest CD, a co-billing with trumpeter Ted Chubb, is an angular and daring affair. It's piano-less, modeled after the original Ornette Coleman Quartet; this is post-bop, not bop. Cleveland Heights native Lee is a big-toned player of great heart who hitches a decidedly modern sensibility to styling rooted in the showy tradition of Illinois Jacquet and the less R&B-influenced Johnny Griffin (a Lee inspiration). He and Chubb — his more laconic, tarter foil — make fine, sharp music. Check out YouTube to see this quartet in action; Lee is the elder statesman in this modern-jazz version of a jam band. On record, however, maturity isn't an issue. Chubb's clever "Out of Time," which launches the album, signals New Tricks' command of meter, punctuated by Shawn Baltazor's rock-star drums. Lee's affectionate "Old Dog" showcases the group's bonhomie and Lee's discursive, engrossing style. The tunes, including a passionate take on Charlie Parker's "Ah Leu Cha" and "In His Steps," Lee's complex homage to Coltrane, span a variety of mood and texture, all informed by wit and adventure. — Carlo Wolff

I love Batman, Star Wars, hard rock music, video games and dark television shows. My interests qualify me for the 'geek' or 'rocker chick' label, but romance author? When I began my publishing journey, my friends would ask what all people ask when they find out you're a writer: What are your books about? They always seemed surprised to learn I wrote quite a few romance books.
To be honest, I hadn't predicted that I would write romance. The first novel I wrote when I was just sixteen was a ghost story (The Lake). My second novel some years later was Young Adult (The Butterfly and the Moonbeam), my third novel was a police procedural (Secret Lives) and the fourth was women's fiction (Living with the Lights On). So, now you reach the Desert Pleasures Series, respectively the fifth - eighth book I've written. They were all romance novels, with crossover characters. And when I decided to publish, I chose to go with those first.
So where did they come from? I don't regularly read romance, at least not erotica. I have read Anais Nin and Henry Miller. That's the extent of my exposure to erotica early in life. My favorite authors are Robert McCammon, Stephen King, Anne Rice, Clive Barker and Joe Hill. They can all fit nicely in the 'horror/suspense' genre. So, why am I writing romance?
The reality is, those four books in the Desert Pleasures Series aren't much different from my other novels. The biggest change is that the sex is explicit and plays a larger part in the challenge and growth of my characters. All of my stories focus on relationships. Whether it's the relationship between two young sisters( Butterfly and the Moonbeam), or the professional and personal relationships in a detective's life as he is working a crime (Secret Lives), they are vital to the story. I am a firm believer that writer's should write their book, not their genre. Say what you want to say, because no one can say it like you.
Write your book, not your genre.
There are those who will advise new writers to stick to one genre. For some, they are happy in one genre, like comfort food. But for me, I like not knowing what my next book is going to be about. Hugh Howey, a successful science fiction writer, wrote and published a romance book. He wrote the story he wanted to write and it was well received.
The advice is based on the data that shows in general, readers don't cross genres. Liliana Hart is a best selling self published author who writes romance and dark suspense novels. She has said many times that her Mackenzie's are often too sexy for her suspense readers and her suspense novels are too dark for some of her Mackenzie lovers. But had she never written her suspense novels, she wouldn't be nearly as prolific and I am fairly sure she wouldn't be having as much fun as she is now writing what pleases her.
So yes, this 'geek' writes romance. This 'rocker chick' has also written over 100 short horror stories that will never see the light of day. They are better in the dark, away from public eyes. Too scary! The reality is you are very likely to see me write in several genres as time goes on and I still have something to say.
Be who you are, write what you want. That is what art is all about.

Washington (AP) – The terrorist branch of the Islamic State (IS) militia, active in Afghanistan, has claimed responsibility for the bombing at Kabul airport.
This was announced by IS-Khorasan, as ISIS calls itself in Afghanistan and Pakistan, in the evening with a message from ISIS spokesman Amak that was distributed over the internet.
Twelve American soldiers were killed in the single attack. The BBC reported a total of 60 deaths, citing a health services official. A Taliban spokesman told the dpa on Friday about 13 to 20 civilians killed. This emerges from hospital reports. The final number of victims will be published in due course.
Daesh appeared in Afghanistan in early 2015. It wants to establish a “province” called IS-Khorasan and on Pakistani territory and has carried out attacks mainly against Shiite targets. US and Afghan security forces have attacked its positions several times a week in recent years. Nonetheless, ISIS continued to carry out serious attacks, stepped up recruitment and also attempted to gain a foothold in northern Afghanistan.
Despite great ideological proximity, ISIS is hostile to the Taliban, who seized power in Afghanistan a good week ago. Previously, among others, US President Joe Biden specifically warned of an attack by a local ISIS branch in Afghanistan.
13 American soldiers killed
US General Kenneth McKenzie, who heads US Central Command Centcom, reported in a video link to Pentagon reporters 12 US soldiers killed. 15 American soldiers were injured.
The US armed forces are continuing the evacuation mission in Kabul even after the devastating terrorist attack at the airport in the Afghan capital. “We are continuing the work,” McKenzie said.
Attack by two suicide bombers
According to the US Department of Defense, at least two suicide bombers blew themselves up during the terrorist attack. After the detonations, a number of fighters from the Islamic State (IS) terrorist militia opened fire on civilians and soldiers, McKenzie said.
The US military expects more terrorist attacks. “We believe it is their desire to continue these attacks and we expect these attacks will continue,” McKenzie said. “We are doing everything possible to prepare for these attacks,” he said. There are also talks with the Taliban, who are responsible for security outside the airport. It was an “extremely active threat situation” in which further attacks were to be expected, the general said.
Reactions from Europe
Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) spoke of one or more suicide bombers and condemned the bloody act as “absolutely despicable”.
French President Emmanuel Macron also condemned the terrorist attacks “in the strongest possible terms”. The president expressed his condolences to the families of the American and Afghan victims and his support for the wounded, he said Thursday evening in a message from the Elysee Palace. At the same time, Macron underlined the “heroic commitment” of those who tried to ensure the success of the evacuation operations on the spot. “France will go all the way and will continue its humanitarian and protection efforts in favor of threatened Afghans.”
German soldiers, diplomats and police flew
Meanwhile, the German Air Force has transported all remaining Bundeswehr soldiers, diplomats and police officers from the state of crisis, as Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer (CDU ) after starting the last machine.
The exact number of victims of the attack was initially open. Many deaths have been seen on videos; it was therefore feared that the number of victims would increase significantly. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby spoke on Twitter of a “complex attack”. Merkel said the terrorists were targeting people waiting outside the airport gates. Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD) said: “We currently have no information on German casualties.”
According to former US President Donald Trump, the terrorist attack in Kabul “should never have taken place.” He expressed his condolences to the families of the killed and injured soldiers and the relatives of the civilian victims, Trump said Thursday. “This tragedy should never have happened, which makes our grief even greater and more difficult to understand,” Trump said.
Since the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan in mid-August, the Republican had sent statements almost every day in which he criticized his successor, Democrat Joe Biden. In his most recent statement on the attack, however, there was no overt political attack or blame.
Taliban condemn “cruel incident”
Taliban Politburo spokesman Suhail Shahin said the cruel incident was strongly condemned and everything would be done to bring those responsible to justice. He confirmed that two explosions occurred. According to initial reports, one took place at one of the airport gates and another at a nearby hotel.
Local television station Tolo-News posted images on Twitter showing how injured people are being carried in wheelbarrows. An eyewitness told the TV station that the explosion was very powerful. Some people fell into the water – there is a long ditch at a gate – and several foreign soldiers fell to the ground.
Well-connected Afghan journalist Bilal Sarwari wrote on Twitter that a suicide bomber blew himself up in a large crowd. At least one other assailant then opened fire. Sarwari cited several eyewitnesses in the area.
The security situation around the airport had deteriorated considerably again recently. The Bundeswehr had already reported on Tuesday that there were a growing number of potential suicide bombers from the Islamic State (IS) terrorist organization in Kabul. US President Joe Biden made a similar statement. A local branch of ISIS tries to attack the airport almost every day, he said. The terrorist militia is also a “declared enemy” of the Taliban. Among other things, Biden justified his adherence to the plan to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan by August 31 by this terrorist threat.
Dramatic conditions around the airport
Since the Taliban came to power, thousands of people have tried to flee abroad for fear of repression. For more than a week, they have gathered around different entrances to the airport to board an evacuation flight. The conditions around the airport were dire. The rush has escalated further, an eyewitness reported to the German News Agency. People stand in front of a door “as close to each other as bricks in a wall,” and they don’t move forward a yard.
After the explosion, US soldiers used tear gas at another airport gate to separate people, said a Kabul resident at the gate. He estimated that at the time, 2,000 to 4,000 people were waiting for an evacuation flight overseas. Several women and girls were injured by tear gas.
Several assassins intercepted
Some international partners had asked the US to extend the mission in order to have more time for evacuations. The military operation depends on American troops. Taliban fighters have already intercepted and killed several IS attackers at their checkpoints near the airport, according to military sources.
Bundeswehr Inspector General Eberhard Zorn said on Thursday that the Bundeswehr had transported 5,200 people from 45 countries since the mission began on August 16. Among them are 4,200 Afghans and 505 German citizens.
Kramp-Karrenbauer and Merkel stressed that the federal government will continue to try to allow people in need of protection to leave the country. “We are ending the airlift today,” Merkel said. “We are working hard to negotiate terms with the Taliban on how further departures will be possible.”
Guterres invites to crisis meetings
In view of the chaotic and tense security situation in Afghanistan, UN Secretary General António Guterres has invited the veto powers to a crisis meeting. According to diplomatic circles, the ambassadors of the United States, China, Russia, Great Britain and France will meet with the UN chief on Monday in New York to discuss the situation.
Belgium, Denmark, Poland and Canada, among others, have now stopped their evacuations, just like Germany, France planned to do on Friday. The US military again flew more than 13,000 people in 24 hours. According to the White House, the United States and its partners have transported more than 95,000 people. More than 14,500 evacuees landed on Thursday at the US airbase in Ramstein, Palatinate.
Merkel cancels trip to Israel
Chancellor Angela Merkel has canceled her trip to Israel scheduled for Saturday to Monday due to the dramatic developments in Afghanistan. The decision was taken in consultation with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennet, government spokesman Steffen Seibert said.
Meanwhile, more and more Afghans are leaving for Pakistan. At least 10,000 Afghans crossed the border at Spin Boldak / Chaman every day, a dpa border official said. Previously, there were about 4,000 on normal days. Most are on their way to relatives in towns and regions not far from the border. Pakistan has hosted millions of Afghan refugees for 40 years. There are currently 1.4 million Afghans officially registered as refugees and around 600,000 undocumented Afghans.
The Balkan countries, Albania and Kosovo, have also declared their readiness to welcome around 6,000 people, at least temporarily. EU interior ministers want to discuss the situation in Afghanistan next Tuesday. It should also be about migration to Europe.


Woody Durham: A Carolina Legend
Last week, award-winning sports broadcaster and long time voice of the Carolina Tarheels, Woody Durham, stopped by the ABC45 studio to appear on my “Triad Today” television program. It was the first time we had seen each other in 35 years, since hav ing worked together at WFMY-TV back in the mid 1970s.
Woody was in the Triad to promote his new book, Woody Durham: a Tarheel Voice, which is available from Blair Publishing, Amazon.com and most bookstores. His autobiography gives us a rare, inside look at Woody’s personal and professional life, and it is filled with great stories and a few revelations. For one thing, even though I worked with the man for several years, I never knew that his middle name is Lombardi. I suppose with a tag like that, Woody was destined to have a career in sports. But Woody was also destined to be a Carolina man from early on, as he told me on “Triad Today.”
Durham: “My Dad came back from WWII, we were living in Mebane at the time — I was born in 1941, and he and my mother had both grown up in the Carborro-Chapel Hill area. My dad had been a real football fan. He even told me about riding into Keenan Stadium on the running boards of Coca Cola trucks. So he and my Mom bought season tickets. They didn’t take me to every game that the Justice/ Weiner teams of the late 1940s played, but I really did become a football fan doing that.”
Woody himself was also a fine athlete in high school, but sports wasn’t the only thing on his mind. While attending a debate competition, he met his future wife Jean.
Longworth: “Jean said that it wasn’t love at first sight because you were arrogant. Is that true?” Durham: “Maybe I was trying to be older than 15. As a matter of fact, I told her that I was 16 so that she would think we were the same age, and she later found out that wasn’t quite the truth. I think that’s the only time I’ve given her an untruth.”
Truth is very important to Woody Durham, and so is having a good work ethic. Before I ever appeared on camera alongside Woody, I was a member of the WFMY studio production team, and it was my job to type in about a million high school football scores every Friday night, most of them on the fly, as Woody was delivering his live sports segment. Woody demanded perfection of himself, and he expected professionalism in those around him, so I was always anxious to do a good job for him. Ironically, it was Woody’s high standards that led him to retire as Carolina’s play-by-play man after 40 years in the broadcast booth.
In his book, Woody writes about the reason for his retiring as the voice of the Tarheels. It seems that, on occasion, he found himself starting to mispronounce the names of some visiting players. Those kinds of flubs are an everyday occurrence for us mere mortals, but not for Woody, so he stepped away from the microphone on game days. Truth is, Woody’s worst performance is still better than everyone else’s best, so no one wanted him to retire. In a sense, though, he hasn’t. He is now in constant demand as a public speaker, is promoting his book and actively supporting a number of charities, such as the Ronald McDonald House, for which he and Jean have raised millions of dollars. Speaking of which, you can purchase a special CD containing 25 Carolina moments, by visiting www. woodyremembers.com. Proceeds go to the Ronald McDonald House.
On last week’s TV show I understandably referred to my old friend as a “legend.”
But Woody quickly corrected me.
Durham: “I tell people who say I’m a legend, that I had 900 lettermen, about six different coaches, almost 200 basketball lettermen and four coaches, all who during their tenure at Carolina, were honored as national coaches of the year. They all made old Woody sound pretty good on Saturday afternoons and on cold winter nights.”
Perhaps so, but those players and coaches would have been a lot less exciting to follow had it not been for Woody’s distinctive voice and his unceasing enthusiasm. Today Woody still wears his UNC class ring with great pride, and he’ll tell you that Carolina made him better. Carolina can say the same thing about Woody.
JIM LONGWORTH is the host of “Triad Today,” airing on Saturdays at 7:30 a.m. on ABC45 (cable channel 7) and Sundays at 11am on WMYV (cable channel 15).

MOSCOW, July 30 (UPI) -- The head of Russia's Federal Migration Service has refused to comment on the petition for temporary asylum filed by U.S. secrets leaker Edward Snowden.
Konstantin Romodanovsky told the Russian news agency ITAR-Tass Tuesday Snowden's case is not "exclusive," adding, "The exclusiveness is only in questions of journalists."
Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor, has been holed up in the transit section of Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport for more than a month and is currently awaiting action on his request for temporary asylum.
A federal migration official said Snowden is safer at the airport, Voice of American reported.
Vladimir Volokh, who heads the migration service's public council, said Russia can't guarantee Snowden's safety if he leaves the airport.
"I don't think it is good for Snowden to travel freely in Russia, as he is wanted now," Volokh said.
Washington has promised Snowden won't face the death penalty for leaking information about spying by the NSA if he returns to the United States.
However, his father Lon Snowden told CNN he has urged his son to remain in Russia "until we have assurances that he would receive a fair trial."
"There has been a clear effort by those who have been threatened politically and/or embarrassed by these revelations to focus on the, so to speak sinner -- my son who has revealed these -- instead of the sins, the actual revelations," Lon Snowden told CNN.

This little hotel is perfect for me
Tốtthg 6 20197,1
Lovely duplex-style room.
No options for people with food intolerances/ some services that were advertised were not available. We were told we could book a massage on the day and then it turned out the person was on their day off. It didn’t come across as particularly well organised. For my Mum’s 60th birthday I asked for a special treat and they said they’d organise proseccco and a cake for breakfast but then we only got breakfast in the room (at an extra cost). Rather disappointing.

The whole area and the rooms were amazing. You have a small little house for yourself ( only the kitchen part is missing) downstairs living room w a private terrace and upstairs the bathroom and bedroom with a balcony. The room was so quite at night. Never and such quietness in a hotel room anywhere in the world. You couldn’t hear anything. Also the bed was very comfy and the shower great. The pool area and the jacuzzi area were beautiful and also very quiet. The beds to sun bath were very comfy and the jacuzzi amazing. The breakfast was good and had a lot of choices. The beach is a 20 min. Walk away
The dinner ( had half board) was not good at all. Had a variety of food, but it was either tasteless, watered down or ready made. It was a disappointment. I stayed the night in a different four star hotel and the food was amazing. Fresh and tasty.

I liked this property a lot more than I expected. For its price it looks very good. It has a nice and large swimming pool, very good breakfast and dinner options and the houses with duplex suites around the pool are amazing (clean, modern and with a lot of space). The surroundings were quiet and the pool area was not crowded at all, so you could always spend some hours relaxing in the pool or on a sunbed. Breakfast was included in the price and had many options. For dinner you could buy the entrance to a good buffet with 20 euros per person (drinks not included). You could always order some drinks from the pool bar and they seemed very reasonably priced.
The bed was the only bad part. We had two single beds joined together to form a single large bed, but they were on wheels and every time we turned around in the bed there was a lot of noise from the bed moving a little bit and also from the mattress. We couldn't sleep that well for the two nights we stayed there, because we woke up occasionally during the night.

We liked everything. The cleanliness and the location are excellent. We like the staff as well, they are fantastic and so friendly and helpful.

Why make a Light Switch
I needed a Wifi connected light switch for the workshop, something a bit more robust than the usual indoor white plastic type. It had to run Tasmota – none of that Tuya stuff. So I built one based on some metal push buttons, supposedly waterproof, that I bought in from China.
Thinking that I could use a few of these I didn’t want to manually wire each button and LED to a esp-32 module. A circuit board was designed. Due to the physical layout requirements of the buttons and the esp-32 module pin headers it became 2 circuit boards. This provided room for power supply regulator module and LED driver mosfets and a few header pins just in case we need a senor or two.
How Does it Work – a bit more technical
It fits into a standard NZ electrical Flush-Box. All it requires is a 10-20V DC power supply. You need to know a bit about Tasmota and what you want to d with it to get it working. I have it connected to Home Assistant which is then controlling seven circuits of LED lighting, about 200 watts in total, via a couple of H801 wifi LED drivers.
The buttons have 12-24V LEDs fitted. The power supply fed the LEDs directly and is regulated down to 5V for the esp32 module. The power supplied could be 10-20V without exceeding any ratings.
The knob is connected to an analog input of the esp32. The intention was to use it as a dimmer control but so far it hasn’t been used – it does register as a 0-1024 count which can be used for anything.
On the back are a few pins that could be used to connect sensors, maybe for temperature, humidity or light level. With a bit more programming the switch could operate stand-alone and a controller.
A sort of control operating system running on the esp32 module. The buttons and LED indicators are connected as I/O. Tasmota has some scripting ability or connects to something else like Home Assistant via wifi – it’s up to you.
There are probably other firmware options, like ESP Home, but I have only used Tasmota so far.
Be warned – there is a bit of a learning curve and setup required to make best use of the switch.
Would You Like One ?
It can be assembled with up to 6 buttons or with one potentiomenter, knob. Probably 3 switches is a good minimum to securely support the circuit boards.

Sometimes it’s hard to stay positive, when life is really getting you down and so many things are not going the way you would like them to its hard to ignore the problems you’re dealing with and put on a big, bright smile, even on an otherwise cloudy/rainy day.
What exactly does being positive bring though? It’s just a common, normal emotion. Well actually, it brings a lot.
Here are three ways positivity can improve the mind, the body, and the world around you,
1) Staying positive can actually increase your lifespan, yes you read just that. According to The Nun Study people who are generally more positive about life live longer, like, 10 years longer. And according to the Daily Mail staying positive lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
2) A positive work environment is more likely to succeed than a negative one. If you read the book “Gung-Ho” by Ken Blanchard & Sheldon Bowles(http://www.amazon.com/Gung-Turn-People-Any-Organization/dp/068815428X) it explains how respect and encouragement( positive energy) helped one struggling company improve its functionality and rose to the top by displaying The Spirit of the Squirrel( Having clear goals), The Way of the Beaver( Respecting employees’ different work ethics) and The Gift of the Goose( Encouragement) in their workplace. Before applying a more positive working environment employees were not ecstatic about their work and didn’t get along with each other or with their superiors.
3) The more positive you are the easier it will be to combat stress. It’s a simple fact that if you’re very happy a negative thought or concern can be easily ignored and your happy day will continue to stay that way most likely. This is especially helpful if you are making very difficult decisions regarding your profession or your family.

Camp Mather (map) was an important factor in shaping and creating the Strawberry Way. The camp is comprised of 350 acres in the Stanislaus National Forest, adjacent to Yosemite National Park. It is actually part of San Francisco, and was originally the work camp during construction of the Hetch Hetchy reservoir. The Strawberry Music Festival was proud to call Camp Mather its musical home, from 1983 until the Rim Fire of 2013.
Strawberry volunteers worked hard to develop and improve the camp over those 30 years, through volunteer labor and donations, such as removing accumulated fire fuels, renovating the Mather General Store and donation of the iconic sign which still marks the doorway of the Mather General Store. It is clear that Strawberry’s efforts to improve the camp were critical in providing a base from which to fight the Rim Fire and save Camp Mather.
Thousands of performers, artists, and customers think of Strawberry when they think of Camp Mather, and rightly so. The magic of Strawberry’s musical community will forever be intertwined in the memory of the camp’s trees and pathways. We hope that our paths might cross again at the rock in the road.

After what seemed like the longest eight-game losing streak ever, the Cavs finally got a win. On Thursday, the Cavs beat the San Antonio Spurs 117-109 in overtime.
In a game where Jerry Seinfeld possibly predicted its score, the Cavs managed to get the road win. This win came after their 116-110 loss to the Houston Rockets the day before. Cavs rookie Kevin Porter Jr. had a career-high 24 points, but former MVP James Harden was too much for the Cavs. Harden finished the game with 55 points, as his performance (and costly mistakes towards the end) caused the Cavaliers to lose. Their losing streak continued (and so did the headaches!), then the Cavs traveled to San Antonio.
Cleveland’s win over the Spurs was mostly due to the performances of three players. Their win came down to Kevin Love, Collin Sexton, and Jordan Clarkson.
Veteran forward Kevin Love had his best game in recent memory. He finished the game with 30 points and 17 rebounds. Love also shot 45.8 percent from the field and 44 percent from 3-point range. Love was the high point man for both teams, as the only player to come close for the Spurs was DeMar DeRozan (who finished with 21 points).
This was not only his highest scoring game of December, but it was also his highest scoring game of the season. His previous season-high was 29 points, which he had against the Dallas Mavericks in November. Otherwise, it has been a rough season for not only the Cavaliers but Love as well. In the midst of trade rumors, Love led his team to a win.
Love played well, but he was not alone. Sexton finished the game with 28 points, as he shot 52.6 percent from the field. On Monday, Sexton had his first game where he didn’t score in double figures this season. He finished that game with eight points, as he shot a horrid 29 percent. “Young Bull” may be back on track after his performance against the Spurs.
Jordan Clarkson moved to San Antonio at the age of six attended high school there. He had a chance to show out for his hometown, and he did just that.
Clarkson finished the game with 25 points off the bench. When Clarkson is hot, he’s hot. He is a crafty scorer that can knock down shots almost at will.
Clarkson averages 14.8 points per game this month (his best of the season so far), and if he continues to play well, he’ll be a valuable player for the Cavs bench.
The Cavaliers have a tough opponent today, as they face the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks are first in the Eastern Conference with a record of 23-3. They are on a 17-game winning streak, so the Cavs couldn’t have caught them at a worse time.
With the Cavs’ next opponent being the Bucks, Cleveland may not start a winning streak. However, after several heartbreaking losses(for me anyway), the Cavaliers have ended their streak. Now, let’s get some more wins.

Ernst & Young study favorable to Kasich’s oil and gas tax plan
An Ernst & Young LLP study on Gov. John Kasich’s oil and gas severance tax proposal has prompted a bit of a dust-up between the influential Ohio Business Roundtable and lobbyists for the oil and gas industry.
The new study, done at the request of the Roundtable, reached a number of conclusions favorable to Kasich’s plan, which would boost severance taxes on natural gas liquids and oil from horizontal wells that use hydraulic fracturing. The governor’s proposal calls for using that additional tax revenue to pay for a reduction in the state income tax, but state legislators have been cool to the plan that has been sharply criticized by oil and gas interests.
As you’ll discover by reading the study, Ernst & Young reported that Ohio’s overall effective tax rate for oil and natural gas operations is much lower than the average rate for seven other states that have or are embarking on significant horizontal drilling. It concludes that even with the higher severance taxes proposed by Kasich, Ohio’s overall tax rate would be 40 or 48 percent lower than the average in the other states depending on the blend of output from oil and gas wells.
The study’s findings impressed Richard Stoff, CEO for Ohio Business Roundtable, an association of top executives from the state’s largest corporations. Here’s what he wrote in an e-mail to me:
“Ernst & Young’s analysis confirms our belief that Gov. Kasich’s severance tax proposals constitute strong and responsible tax policy that will keep our state growing while building on the comprehensive business tax reforms enacted by the General Assembly in 2005 and capitalizing on this burgeoning sector of our economy.”

Rhode Island farmers are always looking for new crops to diversify their farming operations. Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world and could fit into the cropping cycle of many Rhode Island vegetable farms. The acreage needed to grow saffron is small, so it is a crop that could easily be grown on RI’s urban farms. However, farmers seeking to grow saffron need technical assistance in their efforts because growing saffron is very different from most crops.
A University of Rhode Island (URI) researcher has been researching saffron production at URI’s Agronomy Farm. After nine years of growing saffron in Iran and three years of saffron production in Rhode Island, he is ready to teach agricultural service providers (ASP) and local farmers about growing, harvesting, processing and marketing saffron.
With leadership from Rhode Island's state SARE coordinator, this project will extend the researcher's science-based knowledge into the farming community with the help of ASPs. Saffron production and marketing information presented at workshops, a conference, and during visits to commercial and research saffron fields.

Microbrew Font Family loved ones is an easy, easy to learn font. But its easy simplicity belies a deeper stage of element. Where suitable, the letters look like clarkson font were designed with refined notches that can be discovered at the intersections of lines.
This produces sharper right angles that make more elaborate characters better outlined. It is influenced by vintage lettering with lowercases and in addition a little of a victorian flair.
This percent also comes with a few alternate versions in both diminish and upper cases that add in swirl prospers, for extra flowery outcomes. It’s established on handwriting with an introduced experience of calligraphic flair. Hard and dependent at the same time.
Style Of Microbrew Font Family
That is a dependent typeface that may look appropriate on an interior design magazine cover. It points letters that incorporate a mixture of thick and skinny strokes. This outcome in a font that’s effortless to read.

Kathleen Hanna Announces Memoir Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk
Many a Riot grrrl books and documentaries have been made over the years, but now, Kathleen Hanna, one of the founders of the ’90s feminist punk movement, is ready to tell her story in her own words. Hanna’s memoir Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk arrives May 14th, 2024 via the HarperCollins imprint Ecco.
Rebel Girl traverses Hanna’s upbringing and introduction to feminism and recounts her groundbreaking formation of Bikini Kill, the band whose “Revolution girl style now” ethos inspired the likes of Ian Mackaye and Kurt Cobain while making Hanna peers with Sonic Youth. The book also details her relationship with husband, Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys, her work in later bands Le Tigre and The Julie Ruin, and her battle with Lyme disease. Pre-orders are ongoing.
Hanna’s memoir comes as her music career enjoys a renaissance of sorts. Bikini Kill re-formed right before the pandemic and have continued to play shows, while Le Tigre are about to embark on their first tour in 18 years (grab tickets here).
Last year, Hanna joined her Bikini Kill bandmate Erica Dawn Lyle and the Raincoats’ Vice Cooler on the song “Mirrorball.”

Twinkies have become more available in the UK in recent years, but despite some good competition they're still relatively overpriced, what with all the importing and whatnot. Twinkies are something of a cultural phenomenon, although I don't see what all the fuss is about. I find them pretty average, the cake isn't particularly great, and the cream is not as delectable as it looks. I mean, they're okay, but I'm not gonna pay loads for them. Thankfully Poundland are here to help, now stocking these Twinkie look-a-likes, a box of which will only set you back, you guessed it, £1! But how do they stack up against the cream filled cake giants?
Well, that doesn't look right. It's a good colour for a loaf of bread, but it's not the shade I expect a soft, golden cake to be. In essence, these are like slightly burned Twinkies, they're not particularly soft, but the cake is edible at least. The cream inside is firmer than in the official ones, but there's a decent amount of it, and it tastes alright for a cake that essentially costs 20p. Seeing as I'm not a big fan of Twinkies anyway, these Creamy Flurries may be a downgrade, but they're not all that bad. Clearly inferior to the original, and not exactly a fantastic treat, but if you're really into Twinkies yet strapped for case, you might want to give these a try.
My rating: 2/5


Choose your pellets very carefully.
I bought Barry's FTP900 and found it to be extremely pellet fussy. I don't know why this should be as Air Arms have been using Lothar Walther barrels for years and although you need to find the pellet a particular rifle 'likes' it has usually been pretty straightforward, but not with the FTP Barry and I had.
I would suggest if your groups have suddenly fallen to pieces, the first thing you need to do is clean the barrel, then take it to the chrono.
