A Brilliant and laugh-out-loud story of an ordinary boy with an extraordinary secret radio show (broadcast from his shed)
When Spike gets fired from hospital radio, he decides to launch his own show from a makeshift studio in his dad’s shed, under the secret identity of Radio Boy.
Spike quickly becomes an underground hit. But will he handle his newfound fame well? Is calling a homework strike a good idea? will he impress Katherine Hamilton, the girl he wants to marry? Can he keep his identity a secret? the answers to these questions are inside this book. (SPOILER ALERT: mostly the answers are ‘no’).
“Sensei Terry was about to attack!”
Radio Boy is a real page turner with an engaging plot. It tells the story of a boy who longs to be a DJ. Spike is an inspiring character who, despite lacking potential and talent, perseveres. I delighted in reading this book because it is really funny and the author has been really clever. I would highly recommend this book because it makes you laugh out loud. It would appeal to those who love getting engrossed in a great book.
It made me feel like I could do anything
Spike Hughes is an aspiring DJ whose dreams, unfortunately, get crushed. He decides to set up an internet radio station, but will it all go to plan?
The author used cliff hangers at the end of the chapters to make you want to read on. There were lots of different emotions in the book: happy, sad, worry. This book made me feel like I could do anything, even though I am only a child. I feel I can make the world better, just like Spike made this school happier.
Listen to your friends and follow their advice
The plot of this story is when Spike and his two friends set up a radio station. I like this book because it really makes you keen reading. My favourite part was when the pupils went on strike and ignored the teachers - it was really funny. In fact, almost everything about the book was funny. I learnt that you should always listen to your friends and follow their advice.
He follows his dreams
This is a story about when Spike gets fired from hospital radio and decides to create his own radio station in his Dad's shed under a secret identity. This book is really fun to read because Spike keeps following his dreams even when he gets into big trouble.
Who would think of a radio station in a shed?
I thought Radio Boy was great! I mean, who would ever thought of a radio station in an old shed? When Christian described the shed, I felt very jealous and really wanted to have all that equipment (it sounded really cool!). I loved how he thought of having to include "fish face" (the Headmaster) in the children's history homework. The illustrations were very good too. I loved this book and would really recommend it.
Adventurous and funny
I loved the part in Radio Boy when they started to make their own radio channel. I found the book very adventurous and funny. I laughed aloud when the fire alarm went off!
I plan to read it again
Radio Boy was a very good book. It was very sad that he got fired from his radio show but I liked that he put three stink bombs there. It was funny that the bike was neon pink and that he had to ride it to Artie’s house.
This book was the best and, as I have the book, I plan to read it again. I will miss reading Radio Boy.
I didn’t want to stop reading
The book is about a boy called Spike who has a dream to become a radio DJ and him and his friends Artie and Holly and Spike’s dad help him to pursue his dream by running a secret shed radio show without Spike’s overprotective mum knowing.
My favourite part is when Spike gets his secret radio show running and it’s going smoothly.
I liked this book because it was really funny and interesting. Whenever I read it, I didn’t want to stop reading.
About a boy who fulfils a dream
Radio Boy is the best book I’ve read in my life because it’s such an exciting book and it’s about a boy my age who has a dream and fulfils it.
When I read the book it made me feel happy because when I read the first chapter it dragged me to read it because it was exciting and I read the book until the moment I went to bed. Because I enjoyed the book so much, I found out that there is a new Radio Boy book and I bought it straight away. I can’t wait to read it.
Everyone has a power
When Spike Hughes gets fired from his radio job and doesn't get chosen for his school radio, he decides to make a secret radio station of his own. With the help of his two best friends, Artie and Holly, he sets one up and becomes Radio Boy. I liked the character of Spike because he was confident and he made me feel confident too. I learned from this book that everyone has a super power, and this power can take away fear and doubt. I liked this book because it funny and easy to read.
Hilarious and fabulous
Radio Boy is a hilarious novel about an ordinary boy called Spike with a big dream to become a famous radio DJ. Personally, I thought Radio Boy was a very good book. The story line was creative and the characters really made it come alive. My favourite was probably Sensei Terry due to his quirky personality, strange combination of jobs and the fact that he popped up when you least expected him to!
I highly recommend the book to anyone, especially children between the ages of 8-11. I am very much looking forward to reading the sequel, Radio Boy and the Revenge of the Grandad.
I couldn’t put it down
Spike’s radio station is a success until he gets a bit silly and makes jokes about his Headmaster and his son, Martin. Luckily, Mr Harris does not know that Spike runs the radio station, because he works under the identity of “Radio Boy.” Mr Harris announces that whoever tells him the identity of the Radio DJ will get a week off homework. Will any of the pupils tell on Spike? I really recommend this book to people who like a laugh and a brilliant book. I couldn’t put it down, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Will six month period deliver affirmative action in Parliament?
Women wait with abated breath after High Court ruling on gender two thirds principle
Women leaders and human rights activists have been forced to go back to the drawing board and lobby their supporters in the National Assembly and the Senate following the recent High Court ruling on the gender two thirds rule.
Indeed, the clock is fast ticking towards the six month deadline given to Parliament to pass it or stand dissolved as Kenyans brace for one of the most fiercely contested General Elections where six elective seats are up for grabs. These are the presidential, gubernatorial, Senator’s, County Women representative, Member of Parliament and Members of the County Assembly.
In his ruling, Justice John Mativo noted: “Our system is based upon a secular democratic faith, which in the words of former American President, Abraham Lincoln, is that the government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from this world.”
The historic ruling as Kenyans are set to nominate candidates for various political parties was filed by Kenya Human Rights Commission and Federation of Women Lawyers in Kenya (FIDA), which are both non-profit, non-partisan public benefits organisations whose mandate is to create a society that respects and upholds human and women’s rights. The National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) and the Law Society of Kenya were enjoined in the case as Amicus curie (friends of the court).
The three respondents were The Kenya National Assembly, The Senate and the Attorney General.
Justice Mativo noted that having heard and read the petitioners’ submissions, his conclusion was that the petition has merit and that the reliefs sought are warranted.
“I am satisfied that the first and second respondents failed, refused and or neglected to perform their constitutional mandate as prescribed in the Constitution. Consequently this petition succeeds. I allow the petition and order as follows: a declaration be and is hereby issued to the National Assembly and the Senate have failed in their joint and separate constitutional obligations to enact legislation necessary to give effect to the principle that no more than two thirds of the members of the National Assembly and the Senate shall be of the same gender.”
The judge further declared that failure by Parliament to enact the legislation as per the Constitution amounts to a violation of the rights of women to equality and freedom from discrimination and a violation of the Constitution.
“An order of mandamus be and is hereby given directing Parliament and the Attorney General to take steps to ensure that the required legislation is enacted within 60 days from the date of this order and to report progress to the Chief Justice. That is further ordered that if Parliament fails to enact the said legislation within the said period from the date of this order, (March 29, 2017), the petitioner or any other person may be at liberty to petition the Chief Justice to advise the President to dissolve Parliament.”
The basic tenets of that faith are embodied in the Constitution which specifically provides Article 2(1) that: “This Constitution is the supreme law of the Republic and binds all persons and all State organs at both national and county government levels.”
The Judiciary has a special role in our system with respect to constitutional interpretation.
The judge noted that the petition resolved around the interpretation and application of the provisions of Article 261 of the Constitution which provides that: “Parliament such enact any legislation required by this Constitution to be enacted to govern a particular matter within the period specified in the Fifth Schedule, commencing on the effective date.” It also provides that despite Clause (1), the National Assembly may, by resolution supported by the votes of at least two-thirds of all members of the National Assembly, extend the period prescribed in respect of any particular matter under clause (1), by a period not exceeding one year.
But a provision of Article 261 is categorical that: “If Parliament fails to enact any particular legislation within the specific time, any person may petition the High Court on the matter. The High Court in determining a petition under clause (5) may make a declaratory order on the matter; and transmit an order directing Parliament and the Attorney-General, Githu Muigai, to take steps to ensure that the required legislation is enacted, within the period specified in the order, and to report the progress to the Chief Justice David Maraga.
In case Parliament fails to enact legislation in accordance with an order under clause (6) (b) the Chief Justice shall advise the President to dissolve Parliament and the President shall act as advised.
If Parliament has been dissolved under clause (7), the new Parliament shall enact the required legislation within the periods specified in the Fifth Schedule beginning with the date of commencement of the term of the new Parliament.
And if the new Parliament also fails to enact legislation in accordance with clause (8), provisions of clauses (1) to (8) shall apply afresh.
In his ruling, the judge noted that in this case the clear provisions of Article 100 of the Constitution was relevant on the promotion of representation of marginalised groups named as follows: women; persons with disabilities; youth; ethnic and other minorities; and marginalised communities.
Said Mativo: “I find myself obliged to emphasise that the Kenyan judiciary must guard against the development of a two-tracked system; one that looks like the old cases influenced by the common law, on the one hand, and cases that are decided under the 2010 Constitution’s principles governing exercise of judicial authority.”
In his view, those two tracks are likely to undermine the establishment of a vibrant tradition of judicial review as required by the 2010 Constitution.
“My strong view is judicial review and the exercise of judicial authority is now entrenched in our Constitution and this ought to be reflected in the court decisions and any decision-making process that does not adhere to the constitutional test cannot stand court scrutiny.”
On December 11, 2011, the Supreme Court delivered a majority decision that the realization of the two-thirds gender principle under Article 81 (b) is progressive. In its ruling, the Supreme Court directed that Parliament is under an obligation to have a framework on realization of the two-third Gender Rule by August 27, 2015.
By then the Attorney General had filed a request in the Supreme Court for an advisory opinion as to whether the gender two-thirds principle was to be realised by the first General Elections under the new Constitution, in March 2013, or over a longer period of time progressively.
Parliament failed to meet the deadline stated in the advisory opinion but extended it by one more year, which also lapsed before the required legislation could be passed and that the said period cannot be legally extended, so that window closed.
In his ruling last week, Mativo said: “In my view, having failed, refused and or neglected to implement the measures contemplated under Article 27 and 100, Parliament has failed in its obligation under Article (210 (1) which indicates that the State and every State organ have an obligation to observe, respect, protect, promote and fulfill the right of men and women to equality under Article (27).”

This letter provides an experimental assessment of surface-roughness- scattering-limited mobility (μSR) under process-induced uniaxial strain and compares the strain sensitivity between mS Rand phonon-scattering-limited mobility (μPH). By an accurate split &C-V mobility extraction method, the &mSR of short-channel pMOSFETs was extracted at an ultralow temperature to suppress the phonon scattering mechanism. Our result indicates that μSR has stronger stress sensitivity than μPH. Furthermore, the surface roughness mobility enhancement tends to increase as the vertical electric field increases. Our experimental findings confirm the previously reported results based on simulations.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will be in Indianapolis Wednesday for a policy forum focusing on "micropolitans" in Indiana. The event aims to help smaller communities expand their economies and innovation-led job growth. Indiana University Public Policy Institute Director Tom Guevara tells Inside INdiana Business it is a "rare opportunity" for Indiana to learn from the nation’s premiere research institute.
Guevara says the event will talk about how Indiana’s smaller cities and towns can do a better job of being connected, utilizing their talents and abilities, and focusing on what might work better for them. He says often times, communities focus more on bringing in big business rather than growing business from within.
"Growing businesses can be done as well as bringing businesses in and sometimes we focus too much on recruitment and retention," said Guevara. "Those are both very important, but it’s also important to figure out what do we currently do well and how can we add more value to what we’re doing? In creating more value, then we can sell more product and create more jobs."
Micropolitan areas are defined as those with populations between 10,000 and 50,000 people, such as Noblesville, Jasper, Greenfield and Martinsville. Guevara says Wendesday’s forum will talk about some of the potential solutions to growing the economies of these smaller communities, such as utilizing the state’s university system and creating networks of cities and towns or regions.
Guevara says Indiana has a lot of assets, but we need to learn how to use them differently and more productively. "We have to think about, for example, what the latest research tells us about this, what are people who are at the forefront of innovation are doing, and we’ll bring those kinds of experts here to us in Indianapolis and we’ll need to sit there and take what we learn from (the forum) and begin to apply it."
The forum, "Advancing Economic Development and Workforce Readiness in Micropolitan Areas," will take place at Hine Hall on the IUPUI campus. Governor Eric Holcomb will kick off the event, which you can learn more about by clicking here.

According to a report in the New York Times, Democratic strategists and Never-Trumper conservatives fear Donald Trump will refuse to leave office should he lose in November and are making plans and figuring out their legal options should such an unprecedented state of affairs come to pass.
The report, by the Times’ Reid Epstein, begins with one such possible scenario.
“In October, President Trump declares a state of emergency in major cities in battleground states, like Milwaukee and Detroit, banning polling places from opening. A week before the election, Attorney General William P. Barr announces a criminal investigation into the Democratic presidential nominee, Joseph R. Biden Jr,” he suggested. “After Mr. Biden wins a narrow Electoral College victory, Mr. Trump refuses to accept the results, won’t leave the White House and declines to allow the Biden transition team customary access to agencies before the Jan. 20 inauguration.”
Admitting that his suggestion sounds “far-fetched,” he added, “Not to a group of worst-case scenario planners — mostly Democrats, but some anti-Trump Republicans as well — who have been gaming out various doomsday options for the 2020 presidential election. Outraged by Mr. Trump and fearful that he might try to disrupt the campaign before, during and after Election Day, they are engaged in a process that began in the realm of science fiction but has nudged closer to reality as Mr. Trump and his administration abandon longstanding political norms.”
According to Rosa Brooks, a Georgetown University law professor, no one should put anything past the unpredictable Trump who has played by his own rules for the past three and a half years.
“In the eight to 10 months I’ve been yapping at people about this stuff, the reactions have gone from, ‘Don’t be silly, that won’t happen,’ to an increasing sense of, ‘You know, that could happen,’” she explained.
According to Marc Elias, a Washington lawyer who leads the DNC’s legal efforts to fight voter suppression, it’s more likely “the Trump administration could act in October to make it harder for people to vote in urban centers in battleground states — possibilities, he said, that include declaring a state of emergency, deploying the National Guard or forbidding gatherings of more than 10 people.”
Saying it would depress voter turnout, particularly among Democrats, he added, “That to me is that frame from which all doomsday scenarios then go.”
According to Joe Biden adviser Bob Bauer, Americans should be prepared for the president to pull out all the stops to stay in the Oval Office where he is also protected from lawsuits.
“Since 2016, Donald Trump has shown that he is always ready to sacrifice our basic democratic norms for his personal and political interests,” the attorney explained. “We assume he may well resort to any kind of trick, ploy or scheme he can in order to hold onto his presidency. We have built a strong program to plan for and address every possibility to ensure that he does not succeed.”
A spokesperson for Trump 2020, in turn, attempted to make the case that Democrats have a history of questioning election results, before stating that the election will go off on the appointed date.
“Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams and the entire Democratic Party refused to accept the results of their elections and pushed the Russia collusion conspiracy theory for years,” explained Tim Murtaugh. “Now Joe Biden’s allies have formed actual conspiracy committees where they’ll work up new hoaxes to further undermine our democracy. They are wasting their time. As President Trump has repeatedly said, the election will happen on Nov. 3.”
Edward B. Foley, a law professor at Ohio State University, suggested there is one historical precedent for a highly contested election.
“The 2020 election could resemble the contest of 1876, which nearly split the country a decade after the Civil War,” The Times reports. “That election was not decided until Gov. Samuel J. Tilden of New York conceded to Gov. Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio two days before the inauguration. The departing president, Ulysses S. Grant, had made contingency plans for martial law because he was concerned there would be simultaneous competing inaugurations.”
Added Foley, “We’re setting ourselves up for an election where neither side can concede defeat. That suggests that the desire to dispute the outcome is going to be higher than ever.”

This 2016 Trump voter lost his wife to COVID-19 — now he’s switching to Biden
An Arizona man who voted for President Donald Trump in 2016 is now switching his allegiances after he lost his wife to the novel coronavirus.
Local news station ABC 15 reports that lifelong conservative Dave Dahlstrom, a retired Air Force veteran who backed the president in 2016, has since soured on the president over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic that took the life of his late wife, Cindy Dahlstrom.
According to Dahlstrom, his wife contracted the novel coronavirus over the summer and quickly grew very ill and was put on a respirator within days of first exhibiting symptoms.
Kayleigh McEnany: DOJ targeting New York Times over Trump tax leak ‘is a fair investigation to have’
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Tuesday said that she supported a "criminal investigation" into The New York Times for publishing details of President Donald Trump's tax information.
During an interview on Fox News, host Sandra Smith asked McEnany about Rep. Kevin Brady's (R-TX) call for the Department of Justice to open an investigation into the paper's reporting.
"The president hasn't pressed for that [investigation] but, look, that is a fair investigation to have," McEnany replied. "We've seen the politicization of taxes before. We've seen the IRS targeting Tea Party groups and its an unacceptable proposition for that to happen."
Fox News floats conspiracy theory that Biden is using listening devices at Tuesday’s debate
Fox News reported that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden may be planning to use listening devices during Tuesday night's debate.
During a discussion with Fox News anchor Bret Baier, host Bill Hemmer relayed information from one of his colleagues, which was likely planted by the Trump campaign.
"The Trump team asked to inspect the ears of each debater for electronic devices or transmitters," Hemmer announced. "The Biden team has not consented to that."
"The Biden team wanted a break every 30 minutes, the Trump team said we will not have that," he added.

Harvest House was a small English-language publishing house established in 1960 by Maynard and Anne Gertler in Montreal. The Directors of the company were Ann, Maynard and Leonard Gertler. At one time it was the most important English-language publishing house in the province. The publishing house operated along the lines of a one-person university press with an initial focus on Québécois literature in translation. Harvest House produced English-language translations of the works of Québécois intellectuals, academics, novelists, and poets, fostering a significant cultural exchange within Canada at a time of significant cultural division. The Gertlers were not only unique for the type of material they chose to translate, but also for the manner in which they approached the production side of the business. Although they received some funding, much of the early translation work was carried out prior to the inauguration of the Canada Councils translation grants program in 1972. Harvest House also made a determined effort to produce inexpensive editions of translated works, intended for the mass market and not as specialty items. Each of their books came out in both cloth and paperback version simultaneously.
The production of literature in translation was later accompanied by books about science, the environment, history, urban planning, and biography, as well as reprints of classics produced by authors such as Henry David Thoreau and Emile Zola. Harvest House also ventured into bilingual publications in collaboration with the French Canada Studies Programme at McGill, producing books such as Bilingualism as a World Problem (Mackey) and Canadian Society During the French Regime (Eccles) continuing with their philosophical stance of helping to create and foster a knowledge base for all Canadians across language divides. Throughout the 1960's and 1970's the Press produced an average of four books a year. This rate of production decreased in the 1980's and ended when Harvest House sold its assets to the University of Ottawa Press in 1995. The sale included 100 titles, 31 of which were still in print. Maynard Gertler passed away in April of 2011.
Some of this material was transferred from the Gertler farmhouse to the Archives on a temporary receipt in 2008 for use in a book history project. The remainder of the material was transferred, and the entirety of the fonds was gifted, in 2010.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of predominantly textual records created over a 35 year span reflecting the operations of Harvest House Ltd. Publishing and includes correspondence, manuscripts, galleys, book covers, cover art, promotional material, book review clippings, contracts and financial information. The material has been arranged by the archivist into the following series: Published projects; Administrative files; and Unpublished materials.
There are documents that may appear mouldy, they have been treated by the conservator and pose no further threat to the papers or the researcher.
Immediate source of acquisition
The filing scheme of the donor has been respected in most series. Each book or manuscript project was boxed individually and labelled with the name of the publication. Unpublished manuscripts constituted their own series. In some cases multiple files were condensed into one file if they were similarly titled.

In April I posted the obituary from the Dresden Enterprise and the funeral notice for John W. Moran. Today I came across a copy of The Martin Mail dated April 16, 1912. I knew right away that it could mean just one thing, it contained an obituary for John W. I would correct only one thing about it. Near the end it says he left behind two sons and two daughters, he actually had three daughters.
Capt. J.W. Moran, aged 73, died Friday night at St. Thomas Hospital, at Nashville, after an illness of some two years' duration. He was a son of James H. Moran, an early settler of Weakley County, and had been a prominent and leading citizen in the social, financial and religious affairs of the county for many years. In the first days of the Civil War he joined Company "I," Thirty-first Tennessee Infantry, C.S.A. He remained in service during the entire war and participated in the battles of Perryville, Murfreesboro, Franklin, Missionary Ridge, Chickamauga, Kenesaw Mountain and Atlanta, finally surrendering with Johnston at Greenville, N.C. Returning home from the war he entered the mercantile business, and was soon the leading financial citizen of the county. Upon the organization of the Dresden Bank in 1889 he was elected its first President, and continued to occupy that position until the time of his death.
He was a member of the M.E. Church South, and of Dresden Lodge, No. 90, F & A. M. The following children survive him: James H. Moran, Dresden; Harrell Moran, Newsom Station, Mrs. W.G. Timberlake, Jackson; Mrs. James B. Ezzell, Newsom Station; Mrs. Chas. H. Cobb, Union City. The remains were interred at the family cemetery, near Dresden, on Sunday.
In the death of John Moran the county has lost one of its very best, most wide awake citizens, a Christian gentleman; a gentleman of the old school, with that hospitality that Southern people are so noted for. Dresden loses a fine citizen, a good man, and his children a devoted and lovable father. John Moran will be missed by a large number of people all over Weakley County who loved him for his many noble traits of character.
In speaking of the death of Mr. Moran, our Dresden correspondent says: His remains were brought home Saturday evening, and a large crowd of citizens of Dresden were at the depot when the train arrived, who expressed their sympathy and sorrow. The funeral services were had Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Methodist church, conducted by Rev. R.C. Douglas and assisted by Revs. J.W. Irion and G.,T. Mayo. Mr. George Martin, of Martin, gave a short eulogy on the life of Mr. Moran, and Judge Jones read an appropriate poem, which was one of Mr. Moran's favorites in his lifetime. Not near all the people who attended these funeral services were able to get in the church. Many of Mr. Moran's friends from Martin, Greenfield and Sharon were present, and many others from a distance paid their last respects with their presence. Interment was had at the old family graveyard about a mile north of Dresden. Mr. Moran leaves two sons and two daughters, to whom we express our sympathy, and with whom we share their sorrow. Every citizen of Dresden and all who knew him can truly say that a good and noble man has departed from among us--that a chieftain has fallen. He was aged seventy-two years, was a member of the Methodist church, and died in the triumphs of the faith of a devoted Christian.

Competing against the year-round influx of imported produce from the United States and Mexico, BC’s Greenhouse Growers needed a way to stand out in an overcrowded field. Particularly because their product has limited availability.
Greenhouse Growers in BC wanted consumers to realize locally grown vegetables can be enjoyed as early as March, long before the traditional outdoor growing season begins. We asked ourselves ‘what if people had a day on the calendar to look forward to like Christmas?’ Then we set to work.
Local + Limited
With research showing that consumers are craving storied products made and consumed locally, we focused our strategy on a celebration of local produce and people. We used their seasonal availability to our advantage, proclaiming their arrival as note-worthy. And people took note.

Nvidia has partnered with Epic Games to help shift some of its older graphics cards.
The GPU manufacturer is the latest company to bundle its hardware with Fortnite freebies, following a slew of console bundles. Nvidia has put together bundles of 1060, 1070 and 1070 Ti cards in the hope that Fortnite fans might be tempted to up their PC power with a few goodies.
Each contains 2,000 V-bucks (roughly $20 worth of currency), alongside a rare skin, glider, pickaxe and back bling. These bundles range from $299 to $499 - a little lower than the launch price for each card.
According to Venture Beat, this partnership may come in part thanks to an oversupply of 10-series cards still sitting in Nvidia warehouses. Extra cards were pumped out in anticipation of a cryptocurrency boom - a boom Nvidia now believes is firmly over.
The company failed to meet Q3 targets, in part as the company adjusts forecasts in the wake of the crypto craze. Nvidia is currently working on shipping it’s new RTX 20-series cards, which hope to kickstart a push into affordable ray-tracing.

The National Rifle Association has an EPIC response to Obama’s Gun Control
Chris W. Cox, the executive director for the NRA, gave a statement on Tuesday regarding Obama’s Executive Order on Gun Control.
In it, he affirmed “We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be harassed or intimidated… nor will we allow them to become scapegoats for President Obama’s failed policies.”
Cox asserted that the President’s dramatically emotional speech was part of “an ongoing attempt to distract attention away from his lack of a coherent strategy to keep the American people safe from terrorist attack.”
Though he probably could have dropped the mic right then, he continued.
He went on to add “The American people do not need more emotional, condescending lectures that are completely devoid of facts.”

And, really, he’s right. How many times do we, the people, need to be told that Obama doesn’t think that we are smart enough or mature enough to handle firearms? This marks, at least, the 17th time Obama has called for more gun control.
Chris Cox is not looking to put anyone in harm’s way. In fact, he said “The men and women of the National Rifle Association take a back seat to no one when it comes to keeping our communities safe. But the fact is that President Obama’s proposals would not have prevented any of the horrific events he mentioned.”
One thing the President fails to realize is that laws only effect law-abiding citizens. The people committing the acts that Obama routinely refers to are criminals. Criminals, by definition, do not follow the law. Passing more will simply give them more to ignore.
“The proposed executive actions are ripe for abuse by the Obama Administration, which has made no secret of its contempt for the Second Amendment,” Cox went on to say.
Not backing down from his stance, the NRA exec reassured “The NRA will continue to fight to protect the fundamental, individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms as guaranteed under our Constitution.”
On a side note, no tissues were needed during Chris Cox’s response.

President Donald Trump is seen on a screen speaking to supporters during a rally to contest the certification of the 2020 U.S. presidential election results by the U.S. Congress, in Washington, January 6, 2021.

A federal judge ordered ex-President Donald Trump’s former aides, including his ex-chief of staff Mark Meadows, to testify before a grand jury in Washington, D.C., investigating Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss ahead of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, NBC News reported Friday.
In a sealed order, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled against Trump’s bid to block his aides from speaking to the grand jury on the grounds of executive privilege, people familiar with the matter told NBC. Executive privilege is the legal doctrine that allows for some executive-branch communications to be kept confidential.
NBC’s sources said the other aides affected by the ruling are former White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino, former national security advisor Robert O’Brien, former senior aide Stephen Miller, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, former deputy Homeland Security Secretary Ken Cuccinelli, former assistant Nick Luna and former White House Presidential Personnel Office director John McEntee.
Trump is expected to appeal the ruling, which was filed in secret because it involves grand jury matters, according to NBC.
Howell delivered the ruling last week, according to ABC News, which first reported the sealed order.
Meadows and other aides were reportedly subpoenaed earlier in the year by Jack Smith, the special counsel appointed by the Department of Justice to oversee two Trump-related criminal investigations, including the Jan. 6-centred probe.
Smith also is leading a probe into the classified documents that were sent to Trump’s private residence in Florida, as well as the possible obstruction of that investigation.
The developments in the special counsel’s case came as Trump railed against the Manhattan district attorney, whose separate probe of the former president recently appeared to enter its final stages. Trump wrongly predicted he would be arrested Tuesday on charges stemming from the probe, which centers on a 2016 hush money payment to a porn star who alleges she had an affair with Trump.
Trump is also facing a legal threat in Georgia, where a Fulton County grand jury is investigating efforts by him and his allies to interfere in the 2020 election in that state. Trump narrowly lost that contest to President Joe Biden.
Days before Congress convened to confirm Biden’s overall presidential victory, Trump called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and urged him to “find” enough votes to reverse the outcome.
Meadows was on that call, and was close to Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, when a violent mob of the then-president’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol and temporarily halted the peaceful transfer of power.

FreeBSD installation images come with “Live CD” option. If you choose it, the installation image will boot in live cd mode. This is really useful if you want to explore core system from the command line or do some fixes on already installed system.
If you want to install more applications to have a better test drive you’ll be in trouble because root file system is mounted as read-only. The root file system also takes up 100% of space due to how installation image is setup leaving you no room to add new software.
There’s a very simple workaround that lets you put FreeBSD live cd into writable configuration. Boot up into usb image and enter live cd. Then run these commands:
mount -uw / touch /firstboot # edit (vi) /etc/fstab and change ro to rw sysrc root_rw_mount=YES sysrc growfs_enable=YES
Reboot the system when you’re done. When you boot it up next time, your root will be writable and will expand to the remaining free size of your USB stick.

I'm not the biggest fan of Apathy I've we're being one hundred, but the kid does have bars, a great ear for beats and gets some great guests on his record (just check the entire album he did with OC last year for example). On the first Friday of March (2/3) he is releasing "The Widow's Son" and based on the singles and credits this one will be worth to hear at least a couple of times. For the love of Hip Hop I'm posting all of the singles including the latest joint which features none other than Lil' Fame and Billy Danze over the appropriately titled self-produed "Stomp Rappers".
The real winners are the three earlier singles, produced by Nottz, Pete Rock (and featuring Pharoahe Monch) and DJ Premier's "The Order". Looking at the tracklist, it seems that as far as outside credits we have gotten all of the best shit aisde from the AG and DJ Mekalek-assisted "Never Fall Off".

In 2006, when the water level of Little Manitou Lake set a record of 495.65 metres above sea level, it wasn’t a major cause for concern for residents. In the past decade, the water level has risen an additional two metres, and concern has turned to dire urgency.
“It is a closed basin with no natural outflow,” said Patrick Boyle with the Water Security Agency. “We would have evaporation in a normal year but with the past few years, it has seen increased precipitation and the precipitation has outpaced evaporation.”

In August, after receiving three times the usual amount of rain, water levels rose and threatened the historic Danceland building, as well as several lakefront structures.
A commitment of $3.8 million in funding from the provincial government to help with flood mitigation measures will help, as will a recent $150,000 donation from The Mosaic Company, but it is short of the total funding needed. It is estimated that the berm will cost $4 million, while a water diversion plan will cost $1.2 million.


Palestinan leader challenges Hamas with call for elections
Gunfire and an assassination try fuel threat of a civil war among the Palestinians
Published 6:30 am, Saturday, December 16, 2006
The Hamas government, which has drawn crushing international sanctions over its militantly anti-Israel stand, accused Abbas of carrying out a "coup" against the Palestinian people, who voted the Islamic group into power just 11 months ago. Hamas leaders, including Foreign Minister Mahmoud Zahar, called on Abbas to resign.
The decision puts the Palestinian political situation into limbo, paralyzing attempts to build on recent efforts toward peace with Israel.

Abbas' dramatic announcement — made after he despaired of persuading Hamas to form a more moderate coalition government with his own Fatah Party — further hardened the lines between the two political rivals, at a time when factional fighting threatens to escalate.
Later today, in Gaza, thousands of Hamas supporters marched in protest and three Palestinians were wounded in clashes between the two political camps.
Abbas, elected separately in 2005, is taking a big political gamble by trying to end his power struggle with Hamas through new balloting. His call for early elections could intensify factional violence.
The balloting could also be deprived of legitimacy if boycotted by Hamas. Also, if Abbas does not run — he has said he would not seek another term — Palestinian moderates would not have a strong candidate and could easily lose the presidential vote.
His Fatah Party remains in disarray, and might lose to Hamas again in parliamentary elections.
Aides said the vote would be held as early as March, and that a date would be set within a week.
In Cairo, British Prime Minister Tony Blair praised Abbas for "signaling his determination to move on without them (Hamas) if they are unwilling or unable to play a constructive part."
"And I think this is the moment for the international community to come behind him to help build his authority and his capability," said Blair, who is on a tour of the Mideast.
Abbas' announcement, in a speech at his West Bank headquarters, was met by loud applause from hundreds of supporters.
"I ... decided to call for early presidential and parliament elections," Abbas said, after outlining months of failed coalition talks with Hamas. "Let us return to the people, to hear their word, and let them be the judge."
Hamas, which swept Fatah from power in January parliamentary balloting, vehemently opposes new elections.
"We are not going to allow elections to take place," said Zahar, the foreign minister from Hamas. "This is a real coup. He (Abbas) has never accepted this government."
Hamas' supreme chief, Khaled Mashaal, and other Palestinian faction leaders rejected Abbas' decision from their base in Damascus, Syria.
In the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis, dozens of Fatah and Hamas supporters traded fire and hurled stones at each other. Three people were wounded, hospital officials said.
Although the shooting quickly subsided, masked Hamas gunmen from a nearby refugee camp came into the town to reinforce Hamas armed men already there, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
A Hamas legislator, Mushir al-Masri, said Hamas considers early elections illegal, and independent experts agree that disbanding the government would put Abbas on shaky legal ground.
Abbas' speech dashed any hope for a coalition government, he added.
"Such a government needs a miracle after what President Abbas said today," Yousef said.
Abbas has said repeatedly that his goal is to form a government recognized by the West and to restore badly needed foreign funding, not to topple Hamas. Hamas rejects the international community's conditions for resuming aid, including recognizing Israel and renouncing violence.
Still, imposing a new election on the Islamic militants risks further inflaming tensions between the bitter political enemies. Months of talks on a Hamas-Fatah coalition had held factional violence in check, but after they broke down earlier this month, tensions flared, culminating with a shooting attack on Haniyeh on Thursday.
In a statement, Hamas said Abbas would be the one to "bear responsibility" for any outcome that might emerge from his "inflammatory, irresponsible speech."
Saeb Erekat, an aide to Abbas who referred to the Palestinian president by his nickname, said the president took a brave step.
"I think he saved his people from the prospect of civil war," Erekat said. "We have a crisis. We have an authority with two heads. So what do we do? Bullets or ballots? Abu Mazen said ballots."
Another Abbas aide, Yasser Abed Rabbo, said the president would set the date within a week, and that new elections would be held within three months. Erekat said he did not expect elections to be held before June.
Abbas was elected in January 2005. Parliamentary elections were held a year later, with Hamas handily defeating Fatah, which has never really recovered. The next scheduled vote for parliament is in 2010.
Israeli government spokeswoman Miri Eisin said Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert "respects Abu Mazen and hopes that he will have the capability to assert his leadership over the Palestinian people, and to bring about a government that will comply with the international community's principles."
