THE LIGHT IN THE DAY
Released July 1st, 2016
The Light In The Day was recorded live in the Studio in one day. Recorded on April 9th, 2016 at Soundmine Studio in East Stroudsburg, PA, it is LEEDS' first full length studio album. While they continue to showcase "the LEEDS' Sound", they are exhibiting a broader musical and emotional vision , which provides the listener with a more satisfying experience.
Although the themes may have grown with the band, they still deliver the message with a straight ahead, no compromise style, and that indeed is The Light In The Day!
LIVE AT THE BITTER END
Released August 1st, 2015
In January of 2015, LEEDS played a live show at the legendary Biitter End on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. Whenever LEEDS has crossed the river into NYC they have played a memorable show., so deciding to record this show for their first live album was an easy choice.
With 10 songs, this album gives the listener enough heart pumping rock to get you through the day.
SYMMETRY AND SIN
Released August 1st, 2014
LEEDS' second studio release showed their growth as artists without compromising their no-nonsense punch-in-the-gut style. With 5 strong songs, this EP showcased their ability to make you bang your head one minute and then shake your fist the next.
"Symmetry and Sin is one you won’t want to miss." -Ted Rogen, The Equal Ground
Released June 1st, 2013
LEEDS' first studio release surprised many listeners. Although the influences of AC/DC and the Ramones could be heard, the sound was vibrant, fresh and energetic. In a time when so many Modern Rock bands seem bored with themselves, LEEDS made a record you can't help but have a good time to.
"...this was incredibly fun to listen to and I highly
recommend giving it a try." - The Equal Ground

XTRATUF boots are now only made in China.
From 2008 to 2021, Honeywell manufactured XTRATUF boots in a China-based production plant. After the acquisition, Rocky Brands started manufacturing these boots in China.
Before 2008, XTRATUF boots were made in the USA, particularly in a Rock Island, Illinois production plant.
Following the acquisition, the company closed its American manufacturing plant and moved to China as part of its business expansion strategy. Hence, the currently available XTRATUF boots in the market are made in China.
Although Alaska Senator Mark Begich wrote a letter to revive the XTRATUF production plant in the USA, the company remained unresponsive due to its global business expansion.
XTRATUF boots were originally designed for commercial fishermen. These boots are waterproof and slip-resistant on boat decks. Besides, their neoprene lining effectively keeps fish oils from penetrating the boots.
What are Xtratufs made of?
XTRATUFS boots are mainly made of neoprene.
It is much softer, lighter, and pliable than ordinary rubber. Neoprene is the key material for the longevity of XTRATUF boots.
However, the company did not disclose details about all materials used and the boot manufacturing process publicly due to their business confidentiality.
Norcross Safety Products LLC first manufactured XTRATUF boots in Rock Island. Later, these boots were commercially manufactured and marketed by Honeywell. Now, XTRATUF boots are widely made by Rocky Brands in China.
XTRATUF is currently a leading supplier of neoprene boots in the United States, particularly for commercial fishermen in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.

What happened to XTRATUF quality?
Customers have observed a mighty change in the quality of XTRATUF boots after moving the production plant from the USA to China.
They claimed that China-made XTRATUF boots are not as much as high-performance and durable as US-made boots. The quality of the footwear has suffered following the relocation of the production plant.
Why do Alaskans wear XTRATUF boots?
Alaskans wear XTRATUF boots because the boots align well with the demands of Alaska’s diverse and challenging environment. XTRATUF boots provide a combination of durability & functionality and perform exactly as Alaskans expect for daily use.
The unparalleled quality, comfort, and excellent grip make XTRATUF boots different from other rubber footwear available on the market. XTRATUF boots have protected the people of Alaska since the 1950s against harsh weather conditions.
They are a great option for waterborne athletes and commercial Alaskan fishermen seeking protection and the convenience of ready-to-go styling features.
Keeping multiple generations safe and dry on the boat decks, XTRATUF boots have become a reliable partner to the Alaskans. These boots are really well-suited for Alaska’s people who live & work there in challenging weather conditions.
XTRATUF boots are especially popular in coastal areas and among fishermen. These boots became a symbol of unparalleled resilience for the people of Alaska.
Who owns XTRATUF?
Rocky Brands, Inc. currently owns XTRATUF.
It has acquired Honeywell International Inc., including The Original Muck Boot Company & XTRATUF for $230 million in 2021. Due to the acquisition, the portfolio, sales, and profitability of the XTRATUF footwear brand significantly increased.
XTRATUF has been sold a couple of times since the 1980s. Norcross purchased the footwear brand in 1985 from Goodrich. Later, Honeywell acquired XTRATUF in 2008 from Norcross Safety Products LLC.
Finally, XTRATUF was acquired by the Ohio-based footwear company Rocky Brands, Inc. In that case, Rocky Brand has owned XTRATUF footwear for the past two years.

Outdoor Power Equipment magazine’s sister publication Landscape and Irrigation recently asked a wide range of equipment manufacturers and other industry experts to share their insights regarding the equipment market, and how the trends they are seeing will impact potential equipment-purchasing decisions (https://outdoorpowerequipment.com/2016/08/10/equipment-trends-2016/9736/).
The respondents also shared the following information on their new equipment offerings for 2016, as well as new products/upgrades that are coming soon.
We have a new Ranger EV Li-Ion. The Ranger EV Li-Ion Polaris Pursuit Camo offers more than three times the total battery lifespan of traditional acid batteries and more than twice the range on one charge (up to 50 miles) to ensure the vehicle spends more time in use. Due to having fewer, lighter-weight Lithium-Ion batteries, the vehicle is 462 pounds lighter, and accelerates faster than Polaris’ lead-acid battery option. To complement the Lithium-Ion battery technology, the pure electric Ranger EV Li-Ion Polaris Pursuit Camo features a refined electrical architecture and a single 48-volt, high-efficiency, AC-induction motor. The driver can select from three modes of operation: High for everyday use, Low for hard work and Max Range for greatest distance.

The S725TX has a 750-pound SAE-rated operating capacity with a 2,145-pound tipping capacity. A 24.8-horsepower Kubota Tier 4 Final engine features four cylinders, producing more torque than models with three-cylinder engines for improved productivity in tough ground conditions.
Its compact size and choice of track width makes the S725TX ideal for landscape professionals and do-it-yourself homeowners who need the ability to maneuver through gates and other tight spaces. The S725TX is available with either the standard 9-inch track or the narrower 7-inch track option.
— Matt Hutchinson, product manager, tree care/rental & landscape at Vermeer

New for 2016 season, Hustler introduced the Super S, a stand-on commercial mower with 36-, 48-, 52-, and 60-inch decks with Kawasaki engines as well as Kohler EFI.
The Raptor Limited was also introduced. The Limited is a feature-enhanced version of our popular Raptor 52-inch entry-level zero turn mower. For a few more dollars, the Raptor Limited offers wider tires front and rear, high-back deluxe seat with a thicker cushion, rear bumper, and hour meter.
The full commercial Hustler Super Z models are now offered with Kohler EFI engine options.
The Hustler Hyperdrive Super Z, our premium performance commercial mower, also introduced a 5 + 5 industry-leading warranty. This is an industry first as well as industry best. All Hyperdrive Hustler mowers now carry a 5-year engine warranty (with no hour restriction) and a 5-year/3,000 hour transmission warranty. The Hyperdrive Super Z now comes exclusively with Vanguard Big block engines offering 36-hp. and EFI 37-hp. and carries the Hustler-exclusive 5-year engine warranty. The Hustler Super 104 wide area mower also is using the Vanguard Big Block engine options and will also carry the Hustler-exclusive 5-year engine warranty.
— Frank Nuss, marketing and product specialist, national accounts, Excel Industries Inc. (Hustler)
Briggs & Stratton
We’ll continue to innovate in the area of enhancing productivity. In the past two years, we’ve been able to deliver a complete line of Vanguard EFI engines with an automotive-style closed loop EFI system that delivers up to 25 percent fuel savings over our comparable carbureted engines, in addition to providing better starting, load governance, and stale fuel resistance.
I feel like the next wave of innovation will center around extended maintenance intervals and reduced downtime. We already have an extensive network of support that includes everything from on-engine service information to a dealer network dedicated to servicing commercial cutters, and some of the best service education in the industry, all of which contributes to reducing downtime. We’ve got some really innovative productivity-based products and features in queue that we think will really make a difference for commercial cutters.
— Jim Cross, marketing manager for Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power
For 2016, Rayco is introducing the new RM27 Multi-Tool Carrier to the landscape and rental markets.

Kohler fuel-injected gasoline engine and a powerful hydraulic system for powering work tools, the RM27 is a highly effective and lower-cost alternative to mini skid-steers. Rayco offers a variety of attachments, including a stump cutter, brush mower, tiller, trencher, power broom, and more.
— J.R. Bowling, vice president, Rayco Mfg. Inc.
Cub Cadet has taken the direct feedback and requests from hundreds of landscape contractors to design and qualify every component on the PRO Z 100 series. Cub Cadet has given the small-to-medium landscape contractor a better understanding that industry-leading features like durability, comfort and performance don’t always come along with an outrageous price tag. With the options of lap bar or steering wheel control, a contractor can equip his mowing crews with the right mowing machine for all types of jobs, whether it’s challenging slopes and hillsides, or bagging grass on a ribbon-smooth lawn.
— Allen Baird, product marketing manager (professional products)
New developments in the Terex compact equipment line, which includes excavators, wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders, include four ‘rental-ready’ excavator models, an owner/operator excavator model and two Gen2 compact track loaders:
Terex’s four ‘rental-ready’ models TC16-2, TC22-2, TC35-2 and TC35R-2 compact excavators incorporate the Schaeff heritage, conventional design, Knickmatik cylinder and top-mounted cylinder. New exterior design, operator-focused workstation and modern excavator controls are also highlights of these new excavators. The results are in these machines’ digging performance, workstation features and productive operation.
The new Terex TC85 compact crawler excavator is built for demanding excavation jobs and space-restrictive trenching work, featuring the perfect combination of a short radius tail-swing and a Knickmatik boom offset that allows operators to dig alongside the machine’s own tracks. This new model’s deep digging capability makes it an ideal machine for landscaping, general construction, water and sewer, electric and utility, as well as municipal applications.
Featuring a 120-hp, turbocharged Tier 4 final Cummins QSF3.8 diesel engine, the new Terex Generation 2 (GEN2) R350T and R350T Forestry compact track loaders offer operators powerful productivity and quick cycle times. Boasting 360 foot-pounds of peak engine torque, high-flow auxiliary hydraulics, a high-capacity cooling system and a two-speed hydrostatic drive system that allows travel speeds up to 10 mph, these models are ideal for demanding site preparation, construction, infrastructure development and demolition applications, including brush cutting, mulching, cold planing and more.
— Gregg Warfel, division sales manager, compact, Terex Construction Americas
Honda Power Equipment
Honda Power Equipment is excited about our award-winning lineup of lawn and garden and industrial products for 2016.

— William Walton, assistant vice president of Honda Power Equipment Operations
In 2016 Billy Goat continues to promote and educate customers on the benefits its recently introduced full line of reciprocating aerators. This new aeration technology features reciprocating cam-driven tines vs. tradition drum-style drum aerators that not only improves hole quantity and quality, but also allows for in-ground turning for unmatched operator maneuverability, operator ergonomics (no lifting) and improved productivity. The machines feature only a fraction of the tines found on traditional drum machines, which saves money and drives fast tine service. In addition, the hydro-drive machines can create variable hole patterns up to 10 times more dense than standard drum units, depending on speed, for better quantity, as well as quick patch and repair opportunities. Commercial customers are seeing significant productivity improvements and happier operators with this new technology — a game changer for commercial aeration.
— Pierre Pereira, director of sales, North America, Billy Goat Industries
New for 2016, select 100V mowers will be equipped with 61-inch cutting decks capable of mowing up to 4.5 acres per hour, making the V Series the perfect entry point for commercial contractors looking to step up from walk-behind or stand-on mowers. In addition, all 2016 100V Series models (including 48- and 52-inch decks) feature single-fill, 6.5-gallon fuel tanks located under the seat for a lower center of gravity, enhanced traction and longer mowing intervals between fill ups. For added convenience, the fuel gauge is located in a visible location in front of the operator seat. These compact power units are powered by professional-grade engines and feature fully hydraulic, “no gears” pump-and-wheel-motor drive systems for smooth operation, powerful performance, long-lasting durability and lower operating costs.
— Mike Simmon, communications specialist, The Grasshopper Company
For 2016, Altoz offered more engine packages from the 4 major brands — Honda, Kohler, Kawasaki, and Briggs & Stratton — than any other manufacturer. We know professional users have preferences, and we wanted to be able to provide the engine they want. 2017 will be an exciting year for Altoz with the introduction of new models in new segments targeted specifically to the commercial cutter.
— Karl Bjorkman, director of sales and marketing, Altoz
New to John Deere’s line of commercial zero-turn mower offerings is the Z960M ZTrak mower. Launched in January, the Z960M provides professional landscape contractors with a powerful, reliable machine at an affordable price point. Boasting 31.0 horsepower, the Z960M is available in three deck offerings — 60 inch, 60 inch Mulch On Demand or 72 inch.
Additionally, the existing Z970R is now available with two additional deck options — 60-inch side discharge or 60-inch Mulch On Demand, offering more deck options on the most powerful machine in the Z900 Series lineup.
We also introduced two new Gator models, the XUV560 and XUV590i in both two-passenger and 4-passenger configurations. Both Gator offerings provide landscapers with a solution for tasks that require a vehicle, like moving materials, spraying or carrying items through difficult terrain. The four-passenger versions are a great way to transport crews to difficult-to-reach worksites. Additionally, more than 75 attachments are available that transform the utility vehicles, offering contractors an unparalleled balance of performance and work capability.
— Nick Minas, product manager, John Deere Commercial Mowing
Earthway Products, Inc.
The SideSpred-Control is a new innovation that eliminates the need to use a side deflector, which can adversely affect your application rate, to prevent material from being spread into flowerbeds, on sidewalks, or driveways. Instead of just hitting the deflector and falling straight down or trying to steer the material back into your path, the SideSpred-Control not only limits the area being covered but also the amount of material flowing to ensure proper spreading rates.
— Bob Petrungaro, director of sales – North America, Earthway Products, Inc.
Schiller Grounds Care
We’re always looking to innovate and improve on our products throughout all of our brands, which is why this is an especially exciting year for Schiller Grounds Care. We have all-new products hitting the market, like the Ryan Lawnaire ZTS stand-on aerator, and we’ve upgraded some of our core products as well. The new Lawnaire ZTS is a first from Ryan, but it has decades of expertise built into it. It brings productivity, quality, and efficiency to aeration projects from lawns to golf courses.
We’ve also added exclusive Zero-T drive tires to our commercial Bob-Cat mowers, enhanced our DuraDeck cutting systems, and added key features like a trim side deck guard, and a larger discharge chute for improved grass disbursement.
We are continually working to develop new attachments for Steiner tractors and make our tractors with the quality and versatility Steiner is founded upon.
We stand behind all our new products and updates in our continued effort to make the best equipment we can. Nothing is off limits or too “tried and true.” If we can make it better, we do.
And that’s not just a sentiment. On our entire line of Bob-Cat mowers, we stand behind them with a new industry-leading Mow With Confidence limited warranty on all our commercial mowers — 6 years or 2,750 hours on our larger zero-turn Predator-Pro and ProCat models, and 3 years or 2,500 hours on our walk-behind models.
— Ron Scheffler, product manager – Bob-Cat Mowers, and Anne Marie Sanicola, product manager – Ryan and Steiner
In 2016, Bobcat Company released two new loaders in its equipment lineup — the S595 skid-steer loader and T595 compact track loader — increasing the number of Bobcat compact loader models to more than 20. Both new machines are the largest and most powerful skid-steer and compact track loader in the Bobcat 500 loader frame-size class. The new loaders feature a 74-horsepower, non-DPF diesel engine and a 2,200-pound rated operating capacity to help increase loader performance and improve operator productivity in landscaping applications.
The S595 and T595 are 68 inches wide when paired with a standard Bobcat construction/industrial bucket. The machines’ narrow widths allow them to work in confined or tight spaces, move confidently within a congested worksite or travel between homes.
The S595 comes standard with 2-speed travel, while the feature is available as an option for the T595, helping landscaping professionals transport materials faster to work more efficiently. In addition, the T595 is designed with the new Bobcat compact track loader undercarriage for improved operator comfort and simplified maintenance.
Also available for the T595 in landscaping applications are non-marking turf tracks. Non-marking turf tracks minimize marks left on finished concrete as the loader is lifting and carrying landscape supplies from a street to a jobsite. The tracks also cause minimal ground disturbance to help reduce damage to established yards and repairs when a landscape project is finished.
— Christopher Girodat, marketing manager, Bobcat Company
We’re always looking at ways that we can improve our drills to make our customers more profitable. A key component is having the infrastructure in place so we can continue to innovate. We recently completed an upgrade and expansion project to update our turning machines and software systems to replace outdated equipment used in the manufacturing process. This new equipment means we can produce new earth drills and trenchers 25 percent faster, getting customers the machines they need more quickly and leaving more time for innovation.
— Mike Hale, Little Beaver sales and marketing manager
For the professional space, we’re very excited about our professional battery series. Battery technology has gotten to the point where it can provide the power that pros need without the long-term costs of buying fuel, and we’ve brought that innovation to a line of battery-powered handheld products.
We’re also planning to provide a new fleet service technology in 2017 that will help landscaping businesses optimize the performance and profitability of their operations.
— Pete Love, director of sales at Husqvarna
Earlier this year, JCB introduced new MyChoice operating software, which provides operators with three operating modes for travel, as well as for loader functions. Mode 1 is precision, for operation in very tight, confining areas. Mode 2 is for general operation, and Mode 3 is for fast, high-duty cycle/high-production applications. The operator can select whatever mode they prefer in travel, as well as for loader functions, thereby satisfying a wider range of operator preferences.
— George Chaney, sales manager, skid steer & compact track loaders, JCB
We’ve got a significant new product launch that we’ll make at GIE+EXPO 2016 that fits in line with general market trends we’re seeing, but we can’t announce the specifics yet.
In the last year and a half, we’ve brought our entire line of skid-steers and compact track loaders (CTLs) up to Tier 4 Final compliance. In some cases, this has included maintenance-free emissions solutions and the first industry skid-steers and CTLs with selective catalytic reduction technology available to the landscaping market. We also introduced a lower horsepower (74 horsepower) version of our popular 580N backhoe, the 580N EP. This model features a maintenance-free Tier 4 Final solution and a base model setup that is ideal for landscaping and residential construction contractors who have thought about getting into a backhoe in the past, but didn’t need that extra horsepower and all the bells and whistles.
— Andrew Dargatz, brand marketing manager, Case Construction Equipment
For 2016, we’ve had a lot of good response so far on our new product launches. We launched the redesigned Gravely Pro-Turn 200 and 400 zero-turn lines and the Pro-Stance stand-on zero-turn mower, which are not only great-looking products, but also include significant enhancements to performance. They’ve been received really well so far, and we’ve pressed our operators to keep pace with the high demand.
— Matt Medden, vice president of marketing, Ariens Company
We will have a major new product launch coming later this year, but that’s about all we can say right now. Our new 72v product lines, the Hauler Pro is really changing the way operators think about electric vehicles. The all-day charge and power output are causing a lot of companies to look again at electric.
— Raven Honsaker, director product strategy, Cushman
Green Pro Solutions
Our new Sprinter models for turf and/or trees are getting great reviews. With different configurations, they can carry up to 500 gallons of liquid, a pallet of fertilizer, a ride-on spreader/sprayer and any other tools you may want, along with a surprising amount of storage. It combines fuel savings of 25 mpg with excellent maneuverability. The sprayer still has all of the flexibility and efficiency of the larger units plus the marketing options and risk management benefits of a fully enclosed spray system, and at lower cost.
We have also redesigned all of our spray systems to provide optimum performance out of a pump, which typically translates into at least a 10-foot gain in spray height.
— Gary Maurer, president, Green Pro Solutions, LLC
Kubota recently introduced its new SVL95-2s compact track loader. The new model offers greater multi-tasking capabilities, more powerful hydraulics and more class-leading comfort upgrades than ever. The SVL95-2s takes the place of the SVL90-2 compact track loader in the Kubota product line-up, and is currently available at Kubota dealerships nationwide. With its more powerful engine, 3,200-pound rated operating capacity and quiet, radio-ready interior, the new SVL95-2s offers customers unparalleled levels of utility and refinement.
With five hydraulic flow presets available for the operator to choose via an in-cab control, the SVL95-2s, when equipped with the optional high flow, is ideal for landscaping jobs that require running more than a single attachment. Furthermore, with is closed center hydraulics and a parallel loader control valve, operators can utilize up to three hydraulic circuits in parallel, which control the loader, the bucket and an auxiliary device such as an auger or drill, making the SVL95-2s capable of performing all three functions at once without sacrificing performance. Pushing down or pulling up with the loader arms while spinning the auger won’t be a problem. Opening and closing grapples or 4-in-1 buckets while exercising the loader or bucket circuits will also be very user friendly.
Kubota recently introduced three new commercial walk-behind mowers: a 36-inch gear drive model (WG14-36), a 48-inch hydrostatic drive model (WH15-48), and a 52-inch hydrostatic drive model (WHF19-52), each powered by reliable Kawasaki V-twin gas engines. The WG14-36 uses a five-speed gear drive transmission, while the WH15-48 uses proven Hydro-Gear variable displacement pumps with Parker wheel motors. All models feature fabricated welded steel decks, maintenance-free spindles, electric clutches and adjustable cutting heights ranging from 1-3/8 to 4-5/8 inches, making them ideal for all common grasses. With this introduction, Kubota is now an all-under-one-roof turf equipment provider.
In addition to introducing the commercial walk-behind mowers, Kubota also introduced the all-new ZD Series zero-turn diesel-powered mowers — the ZD1000 Series and the ZD1200 Series — featuring Kubota’s latest patented innovation, an Aerodynamic Cutting System (ACS), which provides for more efficient use of power resulting in better fuel efficiency and faster cutting performance.

Last fall, we welcomed the lightest and most powerful handheld blower into the Stihl family of products. The Stihl BGA 100 battery-powered blower was designed for professionals, boasting higher quality and better ergonomics than many other battery products on the market and performance superior to many gas-powered models.
We have also introduced an assortment of gas-powered products to our ever-expanding line of professional equipment. The Stihl BR 450 C-EF backpack blower is the world’s only professional backpack blower with electric start.
We also upgraded two of our professional gas-powered chain saws, Stihl MS 201 C-EM and MS 201 T C-M with the latest in intelligent engine management technology, Stihl M-Tronic. This intelligent engine management system results in a reliable and fuel-efficient machine that performs optimally in a variety of conditions.

Paul McGuire, a respected veteran PR executive, is leaving the world of corporate communications after 33 years. Known for his professionalism, honesty and sense of humor, McGuire is not retiring and says he plans to open his own shop, aptly named Last Resort PR.
For the past 10 years, McGuire was at Warner Bros, serving as SVP Worldwide Corporate Communications. He became the studio’s go-to person for crisis management, handling lawsuits, internal investigations and any kind of controversies involving the studio, handling even unseemly matters with grace.
McGuire, a longtime favorite of trade journalists, had been mulling a departure for quite a while and made his decision to leave early this year.
His association with Warner Bros dates back to 2001 when he became EVP Network Communications for the studio’s broadcast network, the WB. He led the net’s communications department until the CW and UPN merged into the CW in 2006, holding the same top PR post at the new network until segueing to the studio in 2010.
“It’s been a privilege to play a small role the last twenty years in the great production that has been Warner Bros.,” said McGuire, who gave a nod to his mentor, fellow veteran PR executive Brad Turell, and his signature style of wearing sneakers with any outfit. “I was lucky enough to join the company thanks to a questionable decision by the same sneaker-clad man who made a similarly suspect move when he brought me inside the wall to Fox in 1987, and it’s been an adventure, from The WB to The CW to the Studio. I have had the good fortune not only to work with a long list of terrific colleagues and leaders but also the many fine journalists who still distinguish the fourth estate with honor, integrity and a sense of fair play. You know who you are.”
“As for the future, I plan to continue producing my weekly rock ‘n’ roll radio show, The Funhouse, Sunday nights on KHUG-FM/Internet Radio, spend more quality time at the batting cage and open my own communications outfit, Last Resort PR.”
Before joining the CW, McGuire did stints as SVP media relations for UPN and VP primetime program publicity for NBC. Some of the series on which he has worked the years include Gossip Girl, Supernatural, Smallville, Beauty and the Geek, Dilbert, ER, Friends, Law & Order and Homicide: Life on the Street.

Character, Values, and Interactions in Weigl's Opera "L Amor Marinaro"
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
A pirate captain who wants his son to marry a respectable girl, an opera singer masquerading as a countess, her conman boyfriend, and a deaf Kapellmeister who is constantly hungry: these are not the comic relief, but some of the central figures in Weigl's 1797 opera L'Amor Marinaro. This story clearly deviates from the model that theater was intended to convey narrow moral lessons, but what messages does it convey instead? One answer might be that there is a type of moral lesson here, one about tolerance and diversity. Most comic operas used a judicious blend of high and low character types; L'Amor Marinaro cheerfully tosses out the high and leaves us with a comic but endearing set of social misfits. A famous trio, with a jaunty A section and a completely confused middle section, provides another answer. Both the trio and the final scene portray a world of crossed lines, miscommunication, and solipsism. While it may not offer moral edification, this work is perhaps a forerunner of the deliberate Absurdism of the twentieth century. This talk grows out of a primary-source-based project that led to a new English-language adaptation of the opera.

THE CHORD COMPANY Sarsen Speaker Cable
A discreet cable with a big performance.
Speaker cables don’t get much more discreet than the new Sarsen from The Chord Company. Sarsen uses a clever mix of materials to produce a high performance speaker cable with a diameter of less than 4mm. This is ideal for use with speaker stands and brackets that have cable management, as most quality cables are too large to fit through the holes provided.
The conductors are built from multi-stranded oxygen free copper and like other Chord Company speaker cables, are arranged in a twisted pair configuration. Insulation is FEP, a form of PTFE.
The Chord Company uses PTFE insulation extensively - particularly with cable designs featuring silver-plated conductors. FEP however, has slightly different electrical characteristics, felt by the company to be better suited for use with un-plated copper conductors.
The two conductors are covered with a special PVC outer jacket, chosen for its excellent mechanical noise damping abilities.
Don’t let the diminutive size of Sarsen fool you. Bandwidth - and particularly bass, is influenced just as much by materials as it is by diameter. The combination of oxygen free conductors and FEP insulation means that Sarsen will turn in a remarkable performance. Even when used to connect an affordable/budget lifestyle home cinema system, Sarsen will surprise with the extra detail, dynamics and transparency it brings.
Sarsen is more than just a discreet cable for use with lifestyle home cinema systems. The Chord Company’s extensive test and development procedures mean that Sarsen has been used with some seriously revealing systems and with some seriously big and transparent speakers. In fact, the performance characteristics of Sarsen clearly show the influence of their longest running speaker cable, Chord Rumour - a design so right that it has remained unchanged for almost fifteen years.
So wherever there is a need for a truly discreet cable, but one with the performance of a heavier gauge product, there’s Chord Sarsen - speaker cable that’s hard to see but easy to hear.
The benefits are obvious even if the cable isn’t....
The cable is sold per meter and come without plugs fitted. High quality banana plugs can be fitted on request.

OAKLAND PARK -- The City Council is expected to adopt an ordinance establishing a drug-free workplace policy for its 300 city employees when it meets today.
In a memo to the City Council, Joel Kolford, Oakland Park's director of management services, said substance abuse is a national problem with local ramifications.
"Further, substance abuse should be considered a treatable disease," Kolford stated.
The program, if adopted when the council meets today at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall, would establish pre-employment physicals and disciplinary guidelines for dealing with city workers who use, abuse or sell alcohol or illegal drugs during working hours.
The program will allow employees with drug or alcohol problems to seek professional treatment without jeopardizing their jobs.

Adalimumab (Humira) restores clinical response in patients with secondary loss of efficacy from infliximab (Remicade) or etanercept (Enbrel): results from the STURE registry at Karolinska University Hospital.
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) antagonist adalimumab (Humira) can be efficacious after secondary loss of efficacy (i.e. loss of clinical response in patients who had initially demonstrated clinical response) to infliximab (Remicade) or etanercept (Enbrel). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We studied 36 patients from the Stockholm TNF-alpha follow-up registry (STURE) who received adalimumab after secondary loss of efficacy to infliximab (group A, n = 27) or etanercept (group B, n = 9), and 26 patients who were started on adalimumab as the first TNF-alpha antagonist (group C). RESULTS: In group A, the baseline disease activity score 28 (DAS28) at infliximab institution was 5.5+/-0.2. During infliximab treatment, the mean best DAS28 was 3.7+/-0.2 (p
The internalizing monoclonal antibody BR96 was conjugated to the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) using an acid-labile hydrazone bond to DOX and a thioether bond to the monoclonal antibody. The resulting conjugate, termed BR96-DOX, binds to a tumor-associated Lewis(y) antigen that is abundantly expressed on the surface of human carcinoma cells. BR96-DOX binds to RCA, a human colon carcinoma cell line, and BN7005, a transplantable colon carcinoma induced in a Brown Norway (BN) rat by 1,2-dimethyl-hydrazine. BR96-DOX produces cures of established s.c. RCA human colon carcinomas in athymic mice and rats. BR96-DOX also cured both s.c. and intrahepatic BN7005 tumors in immunocompetent BN rats. Unconjugated DOX, given at its maximum tolerated dose, and matching doses of nonbinding IgG-DOX conjugate were not active against RCA or BN7005 carcinomas. An anticonjugate antibody response was produced in BN rats treated with BR96-DOX. However, this could be largely prevented by administering the immunosuppressive drug deoxyspergualin. These results confirm the concept of antibody-directed therapy in models in which the targeted antigen is expressed both in normal tissues and tumors. The findings in BN7005 further demonstrate efficacy of BR96-DOX therapy in a model in which the tumor is syngeneic and the host is immunocompetent.
AIM: Palivizumab (Synagis) was registered in Sweden in 1999 for prophylaxis against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in premature infants. The high costs and the limited knowledge of the efficacy of this substance have led to debate about how and when it should be used. National guidelines for the use of palivizumab in Sweden were constructed in the year 2000. The aim of this study was to evaluate the guidelines. METHODS: A nation-wide prospective study was conducted during the two RSV seasons of the years 2000-2002. The paediatric departments in Sweden reported the use of palivizumab, the indication for its use, and the number of infants born preterm before 36 wk of gestation and less than 2 y old who were admitted to hospital for RSV infection. RESULTS: During the two seasons, 218 (3.8%) children who were born before 36 wk of gestation, and 97 (5.4%) who were born before 33 wk, were hospitalized because of RSV infection. Five children were treated with mechanical ventilation. No death caused by RSV was reported. A total of 390 children were treated with palivizumab, and 16 (4.1%) of those who received prophylactic treatment were admitted to hospital with RSV infection. CONCLUSION: We consider the comparatively restrictive Swedish recommendations to be safe and recommend that palivizumab should also be used very restrictively in the future. In our opinion, palivizumab in preterm children could be recommended only for those with chronic lung disease younger than 1 y of age, and with active treatment for their disease.
To estimate the risk of tuberculosis (TB) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) both with and without exposure to biological therapy and to directly compare the risks between therapies.
Data from the Swedish National Population Registers, Tuberculosis Register and the Swedish Biologics Register were used to conduct a prospective population-based national cohort study (2002-2011). We estimated the rate of incident TB in the general population and in a cohort of biological-naïve and biological-exposed patients diagnosed with RA. Cox models were used to estimate HRs with particular attention to risks by calendar and follow-up time and individual biologics.
Compared to the general population, RA patients not exposed to biologicals had a fourfold increased risk of TB (HR 4.2; 95% CI 2.7 to 6.7), which did not decline over calendar time. In contrast, the risk of TB in the biological-exposed RA population decreased since 2002 compared with biological-naïve; from HR=7.9 (95% CI 3.3 to 18.9) in 2002-2006 to HR=2.4 (95% CI 0.9 to 6.1) in 2007-2011. The HRs for most recent exposure to adalimumab and infliximab compared with etanercept were 3.1 (95% CI 0.8 to 12.5) and 2.7 (95% CI 0.7 to 10.9), respectively, and the HR for etanercept compared with biological-naïve RA was 1.7 (95% CI 0.6 to 4.6).
In the past decade, the risk of TB has decreased among biological-exposed RA patients but remains higher than in biological-naïve RA patients. Most cases of TB in RA occur in biological-naïve RA patients, underscoring the elevated risk also in these patients.
The N. Blokhin National Cancer Research Center is one of the few Russian scientific institutions in which hybridoma technology of monoclonal antibody (mAb) production has been successfully established. Using this technology, several dozens of mAbs to various antigens of human leukocytes have been elaborated. These mAbs are widely used for immune status evaluation and for differential diagnostics of leukemias. Two mAbs were used to develop therapeutic drugs. Imuteran is a pharmaceutical form of mAb ICO-25 against a mucin-like antigen of human milk fat globules and proposed for treatment of epithelial cell-originating cancers (breast, intestinal, ovarian, lung cancer, etc.). ThePhase II clinical study of this agent is now nearly completed, and preliminary results suggest Imuteran to be a promising anticancer agent with tumor-stabilizing activity, but patients should be carefully monitored for signs of allergic reactions. mAb ICO-90 against the CD3 antigen of human T lymphocytes was used to develop the therapeutic agent Atemonate proposed for treatment of acute transplant rejection. At present, the Phase II clinical study of this agent is over, and the results confirm the drug safety and efficacy for this indication. The drug is being registered at the Ministry of Healthcare and Social Development, and transfer to serial production is expected shortly.
A population-based study of the impact of palivizumab on confirmed Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) hospitalizations over a 7-year period within and between two similar health regions . Clinicians in Calgary implemented palivizumab prophylaxis for high-risk infants during the last four RSV seasons; clinicians in Edmonton did not. The two cities are part of a unified health care system and similar sociodemographics. Infants
Biopsy-verified response of severe lupus nephritis to treatment with rituximab (anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody) plus cyclophosphamide after biopsy-documented failure to respond to cyclophosphamide alone.
The monoclonal anti-B cell antibody rituximab (Rituxin, Mabthera) may be of benefit in antibody-driven diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) nephritis.
Two female patients with biopsy-confirmed severe and active SLE nephritis despite treatment with cyclophosphamide (CyX) were given four rituximab infusions plus two additional CyX infusions.
Both patients tolerated the treatment well and SLE activity improved. On repeat kidney biopsy after the combined treatment, Patient 1 showed a profound reduction of nephritis activity, and she was maintained on low-dose prednisolone only. A repeat biopsy after 1 year confirmed the sustained reduction of lupus nephritis activity. In Patient 2, rebiopsy after combined treatment also showed a significant reduction in disease activity.
These cases provide histopathological documentation of a significant treatment benefit from rituximab plus CyX in two patients refractory to CyX alone. This combination is being explored further as salvage therapy for such CyX-resistant patients.

users who find using Facebook stressful are at higher risk of becoming addicted to the site, according to new research.Researchers from Lancaster University and Friedrich-Alexander Univeristät in Germany studied 444 Facebooks users and discovered that the more frequently they logged in to the platform, the more likely they would be to remain on the site. Users also reported switching between activities on the same site, including chatting to friends, playing games , reviewing news feeds and posting updates.
We’ll tell you what’s true. You can form your own view.
From 15p €0.18 $0.18 USD 0.27 a day, more exclusives, analysis and extras.The researchers, whose study was published on Tuesday in the Information Systems Journal, warned that using different elements of the platform over a longer timeframe led to an increased likelihood of technology addiction, which they nicknamed "techno-stress".
Different forms of techno-stress identified by the team included feeling that the sites were invading users’ personal lives, experiencing excessive social demands and social information and being confronted with frequent changes and updates to the platform.Professor Monideepa Tarafda of Lancaster University Management School, who co-authored the study, said: “While it might seem counter-intuitive, social media users are continuing to use the same platforms that are causing them stress rather than switching off from them, creating a blurring between the stress caused and the compulsive use.”
Your dirtiest foot forward. If your ankles, knees, and hips ache from running on pavement, head for the dirt. Soft trails or graded roads are a lot easier on your joints than the hard stuff. Also, dirt surfaces tend to be uneven, forcing you to slow down a bit and focus on where to put your feet – great for agility and concentration.
The study investigated the two separate ways Facebook users coped with the stress, noting that some would log off social media, while others chose to divert their attentions elsewhere on the same site.Professor Sven Laumer of Friedrich-Alexander Univeristät said: “We found that those users who had a greater social media habit needed less effort to find another aspect of the platforms, and were thus more likely to stay within the Social Networking Site (SNS) rather than switch off when they needed to divert themselves.
”The stronger the user’s SNS habit, the higher the likelihood they would keep using it as a means of diversion as a coping behaviour in response to stressors, and possibly develop addiction to the SNS.“ Christian Maier, an assistant professor at the University of Bamberg, collected the data from the study’s participants with Professor Laumer and stated that as social media platforms have a spectrum of features, “users can find they act both as stressors and as a distraction from that stress". “Even when users are stressed from SNS use, they are using the same platforms to cope with that stress, diverting themselves through other activities on the SNS, and ultimately building compulsive and excessive behaviour," added Maier.
Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the healthiest fat on the planet. It is loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and powerful antioxidants that can fight inflammation. Extra virgin olive oil leads to many beneficial effects on heart health, and people who consume olive oil have a much lower risk of dying from heart attacks and strokes.
”As a result, they embed themselves in the social network environment rather than getting away from it, and an addiction is formed.”

Bankers today require a broader understanding of technology issues, especially cybersecurity, while also needing deep grounding in core leadership principles, says former bank executive and current business school teacher Greg Smith on the latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast.

With the London Interbank Offered Rate — which underpins more than $350 trillion in mortgages, commercial loans, bonds and derivatives worldwide, including $200 trillion in U.S. dollar-denominated financial instruments — not guaranteed to be sustained after 2021, what should banks be doing now to prepare for a transition away from the widely used benchmark?
The U.S. economic outlook, while positive, is a tale of two stories, says Comerica Bank Chief Economist Robert Dye on the latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast.
Charlie Schmalz talks about policy issues facing community banks in 2019, the persistence of the mutual banking model, community bank technology plays — and the best place to get Wisconsin cheese curds.
“Innovation doesn’t have to be in technology,” says Julieann Thurlow. “Innovation can be rethinking about a problem and really thinking about what consumers want and where the need is.”
Key regulatory changes and business trends will drive bank mergers and acquisitions in 2019, two top bank deal lawyers say on the latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast.
In this episode, employment law attorney Steve Greene and ABA senior counsel Jonathan Thessin discuss operational and compliance considerations that banks may want to consider before offering or expanding telework options.
Small cities, small towns and rural areas are facing a variety of structural headwinds, from demographic declines to globalization to the digital transformation of the economy. But locally owned community banks remain a strong countervailing force to help these communities navigate the transition.
The latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast features interviews with the winners of ABA’s 2018 Community Commitment Awards.
With less than a week before comments are due on the OCC’s August advance notice of proposed rulemaking on the Community Reinvestment Act, ABA VP Krista Shonk follows up an earlier podcast interview with tips on how to complete a comment letter and key points ABA will be making in its own letter.

Im so sick of you being a condescending prick to my mother. You’re the one who always demands respect and has all of these old fashioned morals, but you’re one who doesn’t follow them. I don’t understand how belittling my mother equals respect.
If everyone around you see your actions as being condescending theres probably a good chance that you are actually being a dick. I don’t care if that not your intentions or motives. if everyone around you is seeing it then you need to change you’re actions to match them.
Don’t you dare tell me that my opinions are based on nothing. Ive been through more than most people my age and because of it have had to grow up at like 8. I despise the fact that you are still trying to play the “i’m the adult and you’re the child” bs. I’m almost 20.
You told me that I should find another place to live, i just might. prick.

The company recently completed a 24,000 sq. ft., purpose-built, state-of-the-art cultivation facility in Nova Scotia that's capable of producing more than 4,000 kilograms of cannabis per year
CFN Media Group the leading agency and financial media network dedicated to the North American cannabis industry, announces publication of an article discussing Creso Pharma Ltd. and its unique position with near-term production, existing supply agreements, and an established European cannabidiol (CBD) line of products. With its international presence and clean balance sheet, investors may want to keep a close eye on the stock over the coming months.
Canada's cannabis industry is projected to reach C$22.6 billion over the coming years, according to Deloitte analysts, driven by the legalization of adult-use cannabis in October of last year. While many licensed producers have been scaling up their production, the market continues to experience a shortfall in supply that has created an opportunity for investors in companies with near-term production coming online.
Canada's Supply Shortage
Canada legalized adult-use cannabis late last year, but many consumers haven't been able to partake. With persistent supply shortages, the government has been forced to shut down or delay the opening of many retail locations. Quebec's government-owned stores have been closed three days per week; Alberta has stopped issuing new retail licenses; and, Ontario will initially open just 25 stores in the country's most populated region.
Many cannabis executives believe that these supply shortages will persist. Auxly Cannabis Group Inc. CEO Chuck Rifici predicted that it could be at least three years before the market hits equilibrium. These sentiments were echoed by Organigram Holdings Inc. CEO Greg Engel and Valens GroWorks Corp. EVP Everett Knight, who both believe the supply shortage will last a couple of years or more.
These supply shortages are largely due to over optimistic projections from many licensed producers. In addition to failing to deliver, these rosy forecasts have caused a decline in the price of many LP stocks. Investors are concerned that LPs that have over promised on production could fail to meet their production, revenue, and profitability goals, while potentially compromising their relationships with the retail side of the industry.
Creso Pharma is uniquely positioned to capitalize on these developments with its near-term production capacity. While many licensed producers have overcommitted, the company has strategically focused on building a diverse global enterprise with a commercial presence in both Canada and around the world. The company is one of just a handful of cannabis companies with existing commercial operations in Europe.
In January, the company signed a three-year supply agreement with TerrAscend Corp. to provide premium cannabis product to help meet the significant consumer demand following legalization in October. Creso Pharma committed to selling 100 kilograms of cannabis flower per month to TerrAscend.
The company recently completed a 24,000 sq. ft., purpose-built, state-of-the-art cultivation facility in Nova Scotia that's capable of producing more than 4,000 kilograms of cannabis per year. In addition to the new supply agreement, the company is in talks with the Nova Scotia Liquor Corp. to receive preferred placement at the government-run store due to its standing as one of just a handful of local producers.

MOBILE—Governor Robert Bentley on Monday celebrated the inauguration of operations for first ever Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility in Mobile.
“We were honored when Airbus announced their plans to come to our state and show confidence in Alabama as a great location for aviation manufacturing,” Governor Robert Bentley said. “To Alabama, the new Airbus manufacturing facility means progress for our state and the promise of great things to come. The company’s investment in our state and in the local community will have a great impact for years to come. We are excited that soon the world’s best aircraft will be made by Alabamians in Sweet Home Alabama.”
Airbus announced plans for the $600 million U.S. Manufacturing Facility in 2012, and construction began at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley the following year. The first U.S.-made Airbus commercial aircraft – an A321 – is scheduled for delivery next spring. By 2018, the facility will produce between 40 and 50 single-aisle aircraft per year. Airbus’ market forecast indicates a demand over the next 20 years (from all manufacturers) for some 4,700 single-aisle aircraft in North America alone.

Sociology (Culture & Immigration) - Essay Example
Immigration is a way that local communities become globalized. It is a method of connecting communities externally and also transforms them from within as immigration draws on the global culture and integrates in into the local culture. Traditional consideration of immigration was that it was a process that needed to maintain local and national identities, by way of excluding or completely absorbing people from other states and cultures (Robinson, 2001)…
Increasingly, the rights of groups such as immigrants (transnationals) came to the forefront of sociological discourse, and the "politics of identity" were at one time seen as constraining the solidarity of the welcoming states sense of citizenship and democracy. New ways of understanding the world were emerging (Mills & Wright, 1992; Robinson, 2001).
However, a contrasting viewpoint approached globalization as a positive change in the concept of democracy, and a positive end to the nation-state. At the same time multiculturalists advocated that minority rights were of importance and integrationists lobbied for solidarity of values and national aspirations, regardless of a citizen being an immigrant or a person born into the state. The argument focused on the concept of national identities being outdated. This approach stated that states will become less able to influence and regulate its immigrants, and in turn the groups will cease to consider themselves, and to be viewed as disadvantaged minority groups. ...

Food for thought
To the Editor:
Political comments of current interest include:
A. How are the childhood arrivals going to climb Donald Trump's Mexican Wall following their birth with their families?
B. Don Trump's personal loan to Mexico (with tons of interest) for his wall to line his pockets.
C. Submarine-type periscopes on Trump Wall would facilitate peeking over the Trump Wall to spot drug dealers.
D. Homeland Security may include razor wire along the top of the wall to discourage the use of ladders.
E. If all threats are made by Donald Trump without much of the White House staff, why do we need Congress when we have a dictator running the whole show by himself?
F. The former TV show star enjoyed firing everyone all the time. That show has not changed much as it has no way of improving with a dictator at the helm. Any comments?
Richard Bernard LaBonte, Somersworth


Israeli drones are loaded with bombs that fall freely on the target, and can carry weapons weighing a ton. Such drones navigate from afar, drop bombs or carry out surveillance. The drones do not destroy themselves but return to their home base after the operation is done.
Israeli drones are armed with bombs that do not produce noise or smoke when they fall, making it difficult for enemies to observe or prepare for them. The largest model of the drones can carry up to a ton of ammunition.
Such drones navigate remotely, drop bombs or conduct surveillance and return to home base. They are different from the suicide drones used in the weekend attack on a weapons factory in Isfahan, an incident that Israel has declined to comment on.
The Reuters news agency, which reported on this, quoted a senior officer in the IDF as saying that the armed drone fleet includes the passenger plane-sized Heron TP, manufactured by the Israeli Aerospace Industries, and the smaller Elbit company Hermes.
"The first," said the officer, "is the heaviest drone the IDF has, which can carry weapons, with an effective payload of around a ton.
The officer, whose name was not published, given the sensitivity of the issue, said that any sale of drones capable of carrying of bombs is sold from "government to government" without intermediaries, which negates the need to advertise the drones in the arms market.
All the drones' ammunition is Israeli-made, the officer said, and explained that the bombs drop from it by free fall and the landing speed can reach the speed of sound. Such bombs will not have propulsion systems, and thus they do not cause noise and no smoke.

Can you think about your state or country making cryptocurrency a legal lender? But there are countries like El Salvador which has made cryptocurrency a legal tender. Now Texas and Arizona are trying to make it a legal tender. Will they do it? Here in this blog, we have discussed a few points from the segment of “The Crypto Show”. The contributors were Jon Quast, Chris MacDonald, and Travis Hoium.
These three contributors have some recent and great news to discuss Texas and Arizona trying to become the big players in the crypto market. So, let us hear it from their point of view:
Job Quast says that he has some great news from Texas and Arizona. Greg Abbott, the current Governor of Texas is good pro-Bitcoin mining and he is trying to attract people to Texas for mining. He is offering them power at low cost or promising a lower-cost power.
There are already power issues in the state of Texas and they are working on it. The Governor is indicating that if there is another issue related to power in Texas, then you need to pull all your stuff offline. The power will always be available for the most important tasks first and then the rest. This is something done for attention-grabbing, Abbott also added that Texas will be the next to lead the entire world.
Abbott along with Alan West is trying really hard to make Bitcoin a legal tender. Bit it is a bit insane to understand or accept that, one individual state is trying to make it legal tender. El Salvador has done it last year, but that was a country. Even Wendy Rogers, which is the Senator of Arizona has also submitted a bill to make Bitcoin a legal tender in their state. That means Texas is the first one to do so.
Here the states are trying to differentiate themselves. Did you see Miami? It was trying to become the center of the crypto, to a space of development. This is the space where many companies have planned to build their world of crypto. Some of them are working on it, while some of them have already started doing it. Now it is the turn of Arizona and Texas that are planning to become the center of cryptocurrency.
According to Chris McDonald, a couple of weeks ago, Elizabeth Warren was looking for some interesting information. Even some of the regulators were looking for this information. The information includes the mining process of cryptocurrencies, crypto miners, how much energy does cryptocurrency mining consumes, how is this energy consumption affects the energy grid of the country, and information about the regulations on crypto across the world.
At this point, this bill or proposal by Texas and Arizona is getting very interesting every single. Some politicians are looking at it as a game to gain some votes. But what do you think that the population of Texas and Arizona want? Are they looking for a stable and regular power supply in their state? Or are they more interested to get mining into the country?
How is this going to help the government? What are the risk factors involved or what are the benefits that the government can enjoy?
From the regulatory point or from the political point of view, it is surely an interesting point to discuss. But it comes to making cryptocurrency a legal tender, we will have to wait and see. Everybody is waiting to know what the governments of both the states are going to decide.
But there is other news that states that even the White House is looking to set some policies that will help in making Bitcoin legislation. It is not just for Bitcoin but also for other cryptocurrencies. The enforcement of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will be distributed across different agencies and sectors.
So, this is all something that we will have to wait to know what will happen. We cannot predict now whether it will become a legal tender or not, as the proposals are still being examined. We will have the results out soon. But if you want to start investing in crypto you need to visit the bitcoin bot crypto exchange.

A recent military court decision to imprison a Lebanese journalist for 13 months for "insulting the military", over remarks he had made in connection to the Beirut port blast.
Lebanese journalist Radwan Murtada who works for Al-Akhbar newspaper has been reporting on the prosecution since the beginning of 2021.
The military court issued a judgment in absentia to imprison the journalist Radwan Mortada for the offense of insulting the military establishment through his articles exposing the army's responsibility, through criminal negligence, for the Beirut port explosion. pic.twitter.com/jpYZXGKEH7— Lebanese News and Updates (@LebUpdate) November 26, 2021
Last January, Murtada appeared in a TV interview in which he criticized the government's approach following the Beirut explosion, naming the Lebanese armed forces for what he described as "a donkey-like failure to prevent the explosion".
In Lebanon, criticizing the military is considered a criminal offence that is punishable by up to three years in jail. However, Murtada's case prompted questions over whether or not journalists should be prosecuted by military courts for expressing their own views.
Today, #Lebanon’s Army Intelligence surrounded leading news channel Al Jadeed & searched cars going in/out— Timour Azhari (@timourazhari) January 15, 2021
The reason? They were trying to arrest Radwan Mortada, a journalist critical of the army’s conduct relating to the #BeirutBlast
He’s still there, says will try to go home. pic.twitter.com/0QQOYdAKBI
Information Minister George Kurdahi has issued a statement Sunday commenting that Al-Akhbar reporter Radwan Mortada's case should have been dealt with by the Publications Court, not the Military Court. @TalaRamadan reports:https://t.co/dloYDPKGmn— L'Orient Today (@lorienttoday) November 28, 2021
The Lebanese Minister of Information George Kordahi expressed hope that Murtada would receive justice, agreeing with people who think journalists should not be summoned to military courts and showing support for freedom of speech.
Online, many commentators tweeted in sympathy with Lebanese journalist Radwan Murtada, saying that authorities should invested more in investigating the August 4th, 2020 explosion and delivering justice to victims instead of attempting to silence the press.

It’s official, kind of: More conservatives than liberals don’t “get it.” At least when it comes to The Colbert Report, they don’t. And who do we have to thank for this juicy but foregone conclusion? The Ohio State University. And Daddy Reagan, of course.
The Huffington Post reports that an OSU faculty member's study determined that most respondents found Comedy Central’s faux-conservative Stephen Colbert to be funny, but “conservatives were more likely to report that Colbert only pretends to be joking and genuinely meant what he said while liberals were more likely to report that Colbert used satire and was not serious when offering political statements.”
More succinctly: “Conservatism also significantly predicted perceptions that Colbert disliked liberalism.” If you’re a conservative, and still don’t get it, we’ll break this down even further for you: The joke’s on you. — Dan Harkins

Austin will welcome FC Dallas to the Q2 Stadium in their MLS Western Conference fixture on Saturday.
Bragging rights in this Texas derby will be at stake in this match and Austin will also be looking to secure their first win against their northern rivals. Both sides have enjoyed decent spells in league fixtures this season and are separated by just two points in the Western Conference standings.
Austin are in third place with 27 points while Dallas, fourth, have 25 points to their name. The home team have outscored the visitors 29-24 this season but Dallas boast a better defensive record, conceding three fewer goals than Austin (18).
Austin returned to winning ways with a 1-0 win against Montreal while Dallas suffered a 2-0 defeat against the Vancouver Whitecaps last time around.
Austin vs FC Dallas Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- The two Texas-based rivals have locked horns three times in the MLS so far, with Dallas having a 100% record in this fixture.
- The fixture has been a high-scoring affair with 13 goals scored in just three games, with Dallas contributing nine of those goals.
- Austin's 1-0 win over Montreal on Saturday was their second win in its last six MLS matches (D1 L3) and helped end a run of six straight matches without a clean sheet.
- Austin, on average, win the fewest aerial duels per match in the MLS (9.4) while Dallas have also not fared much better in this aspect winning 10.1 aerial duels per match.
- Only Western Conference leaders LAFC have recorded more wins (9) than Austin (8) in the MLS this season.
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in FC Dallas's last four away games in the MLS.
Austin vs FC Dallas Prediction
Austin have had just one loss to their name at home this term and have scored in all but one of their games on home turf. The odds of them scoring and avoiding a defeat in this match look good.
Dallas have just two wins in their travels this season but their away form has improved slightly in recent fixtures. After failing to score in the first three away games of the campaign, they have scored nine in the last four.
Given their superior record in this fixture, they are likely to score in this match. But a fourth win in a row against the hosts seems unlikely and a high-scoring draw might ensue here.
Prediction: Austin 2-2 FC Dallas.
Austin vs FC Dallas Betting Tips
Tip 1: Result - Draw.
Tip 2: Goals - Over/under 2.5 goals - Over 2.5.
Tip 3: Both teams to score - Yes.
Tip 4: Both teams to score in the second half - Yes.

Standedge Tunnel is 5,029 metres (over 3 miles) long, and is the highest, longest, and the deepest canal tunnel, and we went through it yesterday! Can’t say it was the most relaxed journey, John looked shell shocked at the end of it, and Rusty had to be medicated!
We should have had an inkling when John was handed a hard hat by the chaperones who took us through the tunnel, the hat was scratched and scuffed on the top.
Rusty and I were down stairs, with all curtains open, and all lights on. Poor lad (Rusty) was shaking, panting, and his ears were back; he wasn’t happy. To help him I gave him a dose of his Metacam medicine, it’s a painkiller, with the effect of relaxing him and making him sleepy. If I’d have thought; I should have walked him over the top of the tunnel, and met John on Cyan at the other side; risking being called ‘chicken’.
After breakfast we stripped down Cyan’s roof, took off the chimney, dismantled the canopy, and the cratch cover, removed the flowers. and filled up the water tank. Cyan was measured to see if she was too big to get in the tunnel, luckily we passed the test.
Because I was downstairs, pacifying Rusty, I didn’t see much of the journey. Though I did hear from John that at certain times in the tunnel he was steering Cyan on his knees.
We moored up just before the first lock on the ‘East Side’ (Yorkshire), and put Cyan back together again.
There is abundant history surrounding this magnificent engineering achievement by our Victorian ancestors. The image is of ‘Leggers’ walking a boat through the 3 mile tunnel.
As the tunnel was excavated by hand it is not precisely straight and the interior changes from raw exposed rock face to beautifully constructed brick arches. From cathedral like caverns to almost impassable sections were the headroom is almost nil!
We will take time out today to take a look into the Visitors Centre before heading off towards Huddersfield.
Navigation note: While out walking Rusty last evening, the pound below lock #41 was almost empty.
In general the Eastern section has a serious water level problem.
WiFi is pretty good! 3 miles and no locks
