Buying a new watch can be an expensive task and there are some things you need to consider. One of these is the price. Fortunately, there are some great deals on Tag Heuer Carrera 43mm CAV5115.BA0902 Men’s Silver-tone watches that may help you save some cash.
Founded in 1860 by Edouard Heuer, Tag Heuer is known for its innovative chronographs. Its first chronograph was patented by Heuer in 1882. The company has rediscovered its horological creds and is regaining its place amongst horological connoisseurs.
The TAG Heuer Carrera is a highly regarded sports timepiece that has been refined and reborn. This prestigious collection includes the CALIBRE 360 Concept Chronograph. This is the world’s first 1/100th of a second mechanical chronograph.
The TAG Heuer Carrera has a slew of other innovative features, such as a metal crown and elongated lugs. Its case is solid, scratch-resistant and durable. It also boasts a stainless steel bracelet. The case measures 43 millimeters and fits a wrist of 7 and a half inches.
The TAG Heuer Carrera boasts a tachymetric bezel. This is a tad over the top, but it is an impressive feat of engineering. The bezel is made of stainless steel, which is extremely resistant to friction and pressure. The material is also abrasion and corrosion resistant. It is accompanied by a small, engraved buckle. The buckle is easy to find, and has a flattened TAG Heuer shield armor logo.
The TAG Heuer Carrera combines a refined design with a touch of opulence. It is a great choice for drivers and sport enthusiasts. It also offers a level of luxury that is unparalleled. It is available in both silver-tone and precious versions with diamonds.
The TAG Heuer watch is a large piece, but its overall size is balanced by a small, circular dial. It has a number of notable features, including an integrated caliper and a vertical cutout in the 9 o’clock quarter. The latter is a clever feat of engineering, because it allows black and red hands to be seen while keeping the time. The TAG Heuer watch is a hefty timepiece that wears like a dream, but it is also heavy.
The TAG Heuer Carrera also has a nifty feature, which is the self-winding rotor. This is an oscillating pinion, which eased the manufacturing process and helped increase efficiency. This rotor is decorated with rubies and blue steel screws, which are designed to display the movement better.
COSC Chronometer automatic movement
Whether you’re looking for a simple and understated timepiece or something with a more dynamic and futuristic aesthetic, TAG Heuer has the perfect watch for you. The company has a full range of watches to choose from, with models starting at just under $1,200.
For those who want a little bit more oomph, TAG Heuer has a variety of vintage inspired models. In fact, many of these watches reference the styles of the 1960s, when this brand was synonymous with auto racing.
Another popular series is the Formula 1 collection, which features bold numerals and a unique case shape. These watches also feature a variety of variations. You can opt for a men’s or women’s version of the watch, with either a 32 mm or 40 mm case. Some of the watches in this collection feature quartz movements, while others feature third-party automatic movements.
Some of the models in the Carrera collection use in-house chronograph movements. These chronographs are known for being accurate to within a tenth of a second. They also offer alternative timekeeping functions, such as a date display at 3 o’clock and a small seconds window at 9 o’clock.
Another of TAG Heuer’s iconic collections is the Monaco. This model pays homage to the famed Monaco Grand Prix. This watch features an automatic movement and hip, colorful accents. It is available in a two-tone gold and steel or a stainless steel design.
The TAG Heuer Grand Carrera is the sportiest collection in the Carrera line. It uses a rotating disc system instead of subdials. This makes it a great choice for people who travel between time zones. The caseback has a window that is equipped with a 24-hour disc. It also features a conventional date display at 4:30 o’clock.
The Grand Carrera Calibre 36 RS Caliper is the flagship model in this series. It is a COSC-certified chronometer. It has a 40 mm case and measures time to one-tenth of a second. The chronograph can be started with a push on the top button.
For a more affordable chronograph, you can look into the Grand Carrera Calibre 8 RS. This model has a 40 mm case and a rotating disc system. It also has a window that stretches from 5 to 7 o’clock. It is equipped with a self-winding rotor that is decorated with the TAG Heuer name.
New style of display
Designed to entice sports car enthusiasts, the new TAG Heuer Carrera 43mm CAV5115.BA0902 Men’s Silver-tone watch boasts an innovative design and a cool dial. This model is available in a variety of sizes, from the small 43 mm size to the larger 42 mm and 40 mm models. It also comes in either a two-tone stainless steel or titanium construction.
One of the more interesting features of this model is the rotating disc system. This is a great way to display subdials such as the seconds and date. This is particularly useful when you are traveling between time zones and need to measure the time to the nearest minute. The rotation is aided by the use of a sapphire glass window with anti-reflective coating.
The TAG Heuer watch has a recessed round dial, with visible hour markers and small markings for the first 0. Of course, the name TAG Heuer is on the dial and the company’s logo is on the crown. The small buckle is easily visible and engraved with the TAG Heuer shield armor logo.
The TAG Heuer Carrera’s name-worthy clockwork is its Calibre RS. This movement boasts a number of impressive features, including a unique CALIBRE 360 Concept Chronograph. This is the world’s first 1/100th of a second mechanical chronograph. The standard configuration of this model is daily waterproof, but additional waterproof service is required to reach 30 meters.
The TAG Heuer watch is large and heavy. However, the small buckle makes it easy to wear. The flattened TAG Heuer shield armor logo is easy to see, and the 316L steel case back is sturdy and scratch-resistant.
The TAG Heuer Carrera’s small-scale tachymetre isn’t as gaudy as its larger cousin, the TAG Heuer Carrera chronograph. The dial has a small cutout at 9 o’clock, which gives an asymmetrical look and allows the black and red hands to be seen. The smallest digits on the tachymetre aren’t that big, but the caliper is.
The TAG Heuer watch has many gimmicks, including a small rotor that cuts open to reveal the movement inside. Aside from this, it has a metal crown with a TAG Heuer shield armor logo.
Designed for the ultimate sports enthusiast, the Tag Heuer Carrera is the most recognizable sports watch on the market. Its uncluttered design and refined indexes, hands and lugs ensure optimal legibility at top speeds. Its innovative CALIBRE 360 CONCEPT CHRONOGRAPH offers the world’s first 1/100th of a second mechanical chronograph. The CALIBRE 360 CONCEPT CHRONOGRAPH combines a stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal and a tachymetric bezel. It also features an automatic self-winding movement and a 30 minute sub-dial at 3 o’clock.
The TAG Heuer Carrera is available in a variety of styles. Several versions are equipped with lab-grown diamonds. This prestigious collection embodies the elegance of pure form. Other versions are available in precious metals, including Platinum and Gold. The price range starts at $3,890 for the Stainless Steel version and goes up to $12,750 for the Gold or Platinum versions.
In addition to the standard configuration, the TAG Heuer Carrera is available in additional waterproof services to reach 30 meters. Its scratch-resistant case back ensures durability. Its small round dial has minute markers around the outer rim. The case back is made of solid steel, and it is also scratch-resistant. The material of the watch band is 316L, which is similar to real watch materials.

The Jedd Gyorko experiment is officially over. Once thought to be one of the most promising young prospects for San Diego, AJ Preller and the Padres have sent Jedd packing to the Cardinals and have to eat quite a hefty contract for the young second baseman. In return, St. Louis sends the 6-year veteran Jon Jay back to the Padres, yet another outfielder to clog Andy Green’s lineup.
Jedd Gyorko was off to a blazing hot start to his career in 2013, as he was in the Rookie of the Year conversation by years-end. Never a player admired for his batting average, Gyorko was projected to be a pure power-hitter, something not seen very often out of second basemen. As a rookie, Gyorko recorded 23 home runs, 26 doubles, and 63 RBI in limited playing time. As mentioned, his slash line of .249/.301/.444 was only acceptable because of his power numbers.
In year 2, Gyorko had quite the drop-off. His line dropped quite a bit to .210/.280/.333 in 2014. Instead of continuing to develop as a pro and taking the next step from a batting average perspective, it was quite obvious Gyorko was starting to head the other way. Even his power numbers fell dramatically, only recording 10 home runs, 17 doubles, and 51 RBI. Gyorko’s decline in productivity was exacerbated by the fact that former Padres GM Josh Byrnes signed Jedd to a lucrative deal in the spring before the 2014 season. His contract was worth $35 million guaranteed through 2019, with a 6th-year club option in 2020 worth an additional $13 million… ouch. Although quite a big contract for a young player, the way Brynes set it up will actually pay off for San Diego in the long run; Gyorko’s salary was set to increase 2-fold each year, paying him $2 million in 2014, $4 million in 2015, etc.. At the time, Gyorko’s contract was the 3rd largest for a player with only 1-year of MLB service, only trailing Ryan Braun and Andrelton Simmons.
Jedd had somewhat of a bounce-back season in 2015, but still did not live up to the standards the Padres may have hoped for. Pre-All Star break, Jedd was off to a terrible start posting a .228 batting average, only 3 home runs, and 14 RBI. Preller sent the 3rd-year pro down to the minors for about a month so he could re-tool his swing. It seemed to pay off quite a bit as he bounced back in the second half with a .259 batting average, 13 home runs, and 43 RBI. Interim Manager Patt Murphy even got Jedd exposure at short stop, and it seemed like things were finally turning around for the young slugger.
Reports say that the Padres had to send quite a bit of cash to the Cardinals for them to take on Gyorko’s contract. AJ Preller clearly was not a fan of Gyorko and was ready to move on as they swallow a lot of his contract. The move is also interesting considering the Padres really lack true middle infielders (and corner infielders for that matter) and have had a plethora of outfielders over the last calendar year. The move suggests that Cory Spangenberg will get more playing time at second base, a player that AJ Preller probably believes is a little more prototypical of a speedy second basemen with more range defensively. After the Yonder Alonso trade, it has been reported that Wil Myers will take over first base, which opens up center field for the Jon Jay/Melvin Upton Jr. combinations.
The Padres get a outfielder in Jon Jay who is coming off his worst season of his career statistically in 2015. Preller most likely saw this as an excellent opportunity to pick up a proven veteran and drop some salary commitments. The career-Cardinal batted a measly .210 with a .306 OBP and .259 slugging percentage in 2015. He has never been regarded as a power hitter, only hitting 10 homeruns once in his entire career. He is, however, highly touted as a hitter-for-average. Jay boasts a career .286 batting average (.354 career OBP) and has batted .297 or higher in 4 of his 6 professional seasons. The Padres have lacked anything close to a contact hitter in recent years and the front office has to be hoping that this gamble pays off. It is also fair to point out that Jon Jay battled injuries all last season and played in less than 100 games. Preller has gambled on a few injury prone players in the last year, and they are hoping this situation turns out a little better.
With Alonso and Gyorko now gone, Will Middlebrooks and Clint Barmes essentially out of the picture, and the clear ineffectiveness of Alexi Amarista last season, it seems like the Padres’ infield is due for quite the shake up. As previously mentioned, Wil Myers should get the nod at first base and it is plausible that Cory Spangenberg gets the bulk of starts at second base. The Padres lack a true short stop on the entire roster and many would speculate that AJ Preller will be looking to fill this void next. Spangenberg could also see playing time at 3rd base, and it is possible Yangervis Solarte may have won over the position at the end of last year. One thing for certain, Preller and company are not done yet.

As summertime inches closer, families are looking forward to some fun in the sun with annual beach vacations and seaside holidays. Although there’s no doubt that soaking on some vitamin D and splashing in the waves is a great way to enjoy the beach, packing some of these classic beach games is a great way to keep the whole family entertained all week long.
This classic beach game for up to 8 players typically comes with 4 sets of large colored balls and a smaller target ball known as a Pallino. Each player or team is assigned a color at the beginning of the game and a coin is tossed to determine which player or team will go first. The first player to go tosses the pallino out, and a circle is drawn around the target. The goal of the game is to get as close to the Pallino as possible without going out of bounds and points for each round are only awarded to the team with the most balls inside the circle. The first team to 13 points is the winner.
This classic beach game is a great way to stay active on vacation. All you need is a sports net and volleyball for the whole family to join in the fun. Players can keep the game simple by trying to keep the ball moving back and forth across the net as long as possible or get a competitive keeping score by following the classic rules of the game.
Over recent years, this bean bag toss game has risen to the top as a popular family game played at cookouts, the beach, and more. All you’ll need to play this game is a cornhole game set that consists of two incline platforms with a scoring hole carved in and 8 bean bags that generally come with four red and four blue bags each weighing one pound. The game is set up by placing the platforms 27 feet away from each other, with each player standing beside the board. When playing with teams of two, the players will stand at opposite boards facing one another. The goal of the game is to get the beanbag into the hole which counts as 3 points and getting a bean bag on the board counts as one point. The first team to 21 points wins.
Frisbee or Catch
For beachgoers looking for a laidback beach game, a simple game of frisbee or catch with a football is always a favorite pastime. Playing a game of catch is a great bonding experience for parents and children and a great way to teach teamwork, motor skills, and more. Keep it cool with special floating water footballs, or spice it up by playing games like Catch 500.
KanJam is a frisbee game that requires a great deal of aim and skill compared to traditional frisbee toss. This game requires a special game set that includes two lightweight barrels, each with a small opening, and a set of frisbee discs. Similar to disc golf, the goal of this game is to get the frisbee inside of the can through the small opening on the front of the barrel. The barrels are set up 50 feet apart, and two teams of two attempt to score while avoiding defensive maneuvers from the opposing team. This high-energy game is great for teens and adults and can entertain families for hours.
This simple family-friendly game consists of two pairs of standing three rung ladders and a set of 6 ropes with weighted balls attached to either end of the rope known as bolas which usually consist of 3 red ropes and 3 blue ropes. The ladders are placed about 15 feet apart as players or teams attempt to attach their ropes to the ladder’s rungs. Each rung of the ladder coincides with a different point value with three points being attributed to the top rung, two points for the middle rung, and one point for the bottom rung. Players alternate turns to throw and the first player to score 21 points is deemed the winner.
Spikeball is a fast-paced competitive game requiring a special spikeball kit that consists of a small net that is similar to a trampoline and three special balls for the game. To play, the first team will throw or spike the ball down onto the net so that it ricochets back into the air. The opposing team then has three hits to return the ball to the net, where it will bounce back for the next team to do the same thing. The first team that fails to return the ball back to the net loses the round and the opposing team is awarded a point and teams can choose the winning number of points.

School is almost out for summer, and now the real-life learning is about to begin. I’m not talking about the prestigious internship won by beating hundreds of other applicants. I’m not talking about the student leadership conference in D.C. Nor am I talking about the school trip to Tanzania working with orphans that gives all the kids a great topic for their college essay. No, I come to praise the hot, sweaty, greasy, mind-numbingly boring, low-skill summer jobs that have taught my kids more about real life in a few short months than they learn in nine months of school.
We have never been a fancy summer job type family. No siree—our kids have each enjoyed a succession of typical teen summer jobs that were really exciting for about two hours, and then became (surprise, surprise) just drudgery.
They have mowed lawns. They’ve scooped ice cream. They’ve been cashiers, bag boys, caddies, food servers, and strong young backs at a plant nursery.
Some of the things they have had to do were horrible: carrying a thirty-pound golf bag for six hours on a blazing, humid August day until vomiting as a result of heat exhaustion on the sixteenth green; scooping ice cream until their hand was curled into a claw for kids who drop their cone as soon as she handed it to them; lifting forty-pound bags of topsoil for eight-hour shifts and coming home too sweaty, sunburned, and sore to eat. They’ve cleaned up vomit, watched grown men throw tantrums and break their clubs over their knees, and been yelled at by crabby customers for failing to bag the different flavors of cat food separately.
What have these jobs taught them? A ton.
7 Life-Lessons Summer Jobs Teach Teens
I can’t even begin to catalog all the life lessons they have learned, some without even realizing it. But here are a few:
1. Work isn’t fun.
Your parents do it because they love you and you are very expensive. Say thank you.
2. Your education is a privilege.
Sometimes you may not feel like studying for Chem or reading The Merchant of Venice but school is a breeze compared to getting up every day and working hard at a demanding physical job. Be grateful.
3. Bosses can be demanding and unreasonable.
Employees need to either go along or figure out how to stand up for themselves when the need arises.
4. People can be terrible, rude, and demeaning to those with service jobs.
Be kind and courteous to everyone.
5. There are kind, generous, wonderful adults out there in the world.
They talk to the kid ringing up their groceries like a human being and treat them with interest and respect. Remember how that feels when you are an adult.
6. Needs and wants are not the same.
It takes 1.5 hours on your feet to pay for that $12 bottle of nail polish. Distinguish between need and want.
7. It feels awesome to earn your own money.
The things my kids learned at their summer jobs stuck with them in ways that surprised me. When it came time for my oldest son to write his college essay, he wrote about what he learned from watching the golfers for whom he caddied: patience, perseverance, humor, and how some handle adversity with anger and frustration while others opt for grace and good manners.
My daughter’s high school senior speech described what she had learned from her summer job working as a cashier at a grocery store: never to think she was better than anyone else and to treat each person she met as she herself would want to be treated.
Not many people remember Beowulf after tenth grade. Their summer jobs, however, have taught my kids things they will remember the rest of their lives: the value of money, the satisfaction of doing a job well, the importance of being neat, clean, and on time. And that their mother is not the only person in the world who cares if their shirt is tucked in.

FRANKLIN – From toy firetrucks and 150-year-old horse liniment to a 1931 Franklin-Simpson High School class portrait, the newly reopened Simpson County Archives and Museum is a potpourri of local artifacts.
There’s an old projector from the Franklin Drive-In, hand-stitched frocks, a 1930s fire engine and stained glass crafted by Max Doty of Gallery on the Square. There’s a flag with 15 stars and 15 stripes – Kentucky was the 15th state to join the Union – and there’s an operational 1,200-pound capacity elevator that once lifted Ford Model Ts.
“It’s unusual, a one-of-a-kind for the state,” said James Henry Snider, president of the Simpson County Historical Society, which launched the effort to expand its museum about 10 years ago.
The museum formerly resided across the street in the old jailhouse and former jailer’s residence, which now displays Civil War memorabilia, an ornate square piano and a vintage-modeled kitchen.
In June, the historical society officially picked up the keys to the space across the street – 10,000 square feet at 207 N. College St., which once housed a Ford-focused garage, a sewing factory and even dog shows. It required significant renovations. Eric Vaughn, the Simpson County jailer, helped oversee some of the building work, which was largely carried out by inmates at the Simpson County Detention Center.
For months, they installed drywall, sanded floors, painted, set up plumbing and wired electricity. While stripping the floors, the workers found car parts, buttons and needles from the facility’s previous lives. They’re now sitting in display cases.
“You name it, they did about all of it,” Vaughn said.
In the past decade, the detention center has been involved in countless community projects, which generally provide a multitude of benefits for the residents while saving the city and county potentially millions of dollars, according to Vaughn.
Vaughn thinks the museum was especially rewarding for the inmates to be a part of, and he’s confident the community will appreciate the facility.
“It is just years and years and years of our history,” Vaughn said. “It’s a very heartfelt tribute to our community,” which he described as an 18,000-member family that takes care of one another.
Essentially, the museum is a room full of donations from local individuals, companies and the charitable gaming industry. Many older folks have antiques or memorabilia that they don’t want to throw away – and that their children don’t want – so they seek out the historical society.
“Almost every day someone is coming in asking if they can drop off stuff,” Snider said. The amount of donations will easily allow the museum to store about a third of its belongings in storage for rotating exhibits.
Several pieces, including the collection of shiny toy firetrucks, belonged to Snider. “I’m not a hoarder, I’m just a saver,” he insisted.
The Simpson County Historical Society serves as a one-stop shop for the community’s investigative needs. In addition to the knickknacks, the museum holds local history books, newspaper microfilm, computers with access to the websites ancestry.com and newspapers.com and a meeting space. When folks need help researching heritage or local history, the city sends them to the society, whose members gladly assist.
The museum is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. It’s closed Sundays and federal holidays.
So far, Snider feels the museum has been successful. Just in this past year, people from 41 states and eight countries visited the archival site.
“I don’t know how they find Franklin,” Snider said.

An unusual cannon found underwater off the coast of Sweden in 2001 may be the oldest shipboard gun ever discovered in Europe, a new study finds.
Pieces of cloth found inside the object — thought to be the remains of a bag for gunpowder known as a cartouche — have been radiocarbon-dated to the 14th century, making the cannon one of the earliest of its kind and possibly the oldest shipboard cannon in Europe on record.
The analysis also revealed that the weapon was charged and ready for use, meaning it wasn't just being transported for use on land.
Rather than shooting metal cannonballs, the early cannon was designed to fire balls of rock against attackers, said study lead author Staffan von Arbin, a doctoral student in maritime archaeology at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.
"This type of early cannon most definitely fired stone shots," von Arbin told Live Science in an email. "The intention was not to sink an enemy vessel. These guns were 'anti-personnel' weapons — they were simply used to 'clear the deck' of an enemy vessel."
The authors of the study, published Aug. 3 in the journal The Mariner's Mirror, don't know if the early cannon was fitted to a merchant vessel or a warship, but they hope to solve the mystery by exploring the underwater location where it was discovered.
The cannon was found at a depth of about 60 feet (20 meters) and about 3 miles (5 kilometers) southwest of the island of Marstrand on Sweden's west coast.
The archaeologists suggest that the cannon came from a ship that had foundered at the location, possibly after hitting the skerry — a low rock — of Kleningen, which is a few hundred feet to the south. But they also acknowledged that it could have been accidentally dropped or thrown overboard from a ship in distress.
The cannon is almost 19 inches (47.5 centimeters) long and roughly funnel-shaped, with a narrow powder chamber at the back and a wide barrel measuring more than 7 inches (18.5 cm) across at the front. Other cannons of this type were fitted with a wooden gun carriage so they could be aimed.
Von Arbin said such funnel-shaped cannons were the first type used in Europe after the technology was introduced there in the 13th century, probably via the Middle East. The exact reason for the distinctive shape is not known, but it may have had something to do with the way they were loaded.
The researchers also examined the cannon's metal body with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), a technique that ionizes a tiny sample of a substance with a high-temperature plasma and analyzes the resulting gas.
They were expecting the cannon to be made of gunmetal, which is a bronze made from copper and tin with significant amounts of zinc and nickel to make it more durable. Instead, they found that it was made of a copper alloy with relatively small amounts of tin and high amounts of lead, which would have made it relatively brittle.
The researchers noted this alloy was unsuitable for gun-making, and they suspect it was used because better alloys were not known at that time.
Von Arbin noted that the Baltic was heavily trafficked by trading ships in the 14th century and that merchant vessels were often armed against pirates and the ships of enemy nations.
The location where the cannon was found is very exposed, and any shipwreck there is probably broken up, he said. However, he hopes that an analysis of the seafloor could find some remains of the cannon and that more dates and the origins of the ship could be revealed by dendrochronology, a technique that examines tree growth rings in wood to determine when and where it grew.

Somali officials survive Mogadishu attack
The official in charge of Somalia prisons has survived an explosion targeting his convoy in the capital, Mogadishu.
Gen Mahad Abdirahman and other senior government officials who were travelling with him escaped unhurt.
Death tolls from attacks like this are increasingly secretive in Somalia, as the country approaches next month’s elections, but a government Spokesperson confirmed two soldiers were killed.
What is not clear is the number of residents who were at the scene when the explosion happened, although there are believed to be many severely injured.
This blast is just the latest to target members of the federal government.
Earlier this week Somalia's police spokesperson, Sadiq Adan Ali Dodishe, survived a similar attack.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for either explosion, but the jihadist group al-Shabab are suspected of being behind both attacks.

About Detroit Locker
The Detroit Locker is a locking differential that allows both wheels on an axle to rotate independently. This allows each wheel to maintain traction while negotiating different terrain, making it ideal for off-road use. It is also helpful for towing and hauling, as it prevents the wheels from binding up and losing traction.
The Detroit Locker is not a limited-slip differential, which uses clutch packs or cones to provide resistance to wheel slip. Instead, the Detroit Locker uses a ratcheting mechanism that locks the two halves of the differential together when one wheel begins to slip. This provides 100% lockup, meaning that both wheels will receive equal power and traction.
About Detroit Truetrac
Detroit Truetrac is a leading manufacturer of differentials for a variety of vehicles. The company’s products are designed to improve traction and performance, making them popular among off-road enthusiasts and racers. Detroit Truetrac was founded in 1984, and its products are now available worldwide.
The company’s differentials use a patented cone-clutch design that allows for smoother operation and increased durability. This design also allows for increased traction, allowing power to be distributed evenly to all wheels.
Detailed Comparison Of Detroit Locker Vs. Truetrac
The Locking Mechanism
The locking mechanism of the Detroit Locker is a ratchet-type design that engages and disengages the Locker as needed. The Detroit Truetrac, on the other hand, uses a cone-type locking mechanism that is always engaged.
The ratchet-type design of the Detroit Locker means that it is less likely to engage when not needed, saving wear and tear on your drivetrain. The cone-type design of the Detroit Truetrac means that it is more likely to engage when not needed, which can cause wear and tear on your drivetrain.
If you are looking for a locker that is less likely to engage when not needed, the Detroit Locker is a good option, and a locker that is more likely to engage when not needed, the Detroit Truetrac is a good option.
Off-Road Capability/Terrain Suitability
Detroit Locker is better for extreme off-road conditions, such as rock climbing or mud bogging. At the same time, Detroit Truetrac is better suited for more moderate off-road conditions, such as sand or snow.
If you frequently find yourself in extreme off-road conditions, then Detroit Locker is the better choice. Detroit Locker’s locking mechanism is designed to keep both wheels locked together at all times, providing maximum traction and stability.
While Detroit Truetrac’s locking mechanism is not as robust as Detroit Locker’s, it is still more than adequate for most moderate off-road conditions.
The Detroit Locker requires no maintenance other than occasional lubrication of the cross shaft and bearings. The Detroit Truetrac, on the other hand, requires regular maintenance in the form of periodic checks and preload adjustments.
The Detroit Locker is a locking differential that uses a clutch system to lock the wheels together when losing traction. The average cost of a Detroit Locker is about $570.
The Detroit Truetrac is a locking differential that uses gears to lock the wheels together when traction is lost, and the average cost of a Detroit Truetrac is about $540.
The Detroit Locker is slightly more expensive than the Detroit Truetrac, but both are considered to be high-quality locking mechanisms.
Compatibility With Other Drivetrain Components
When choosing between a Detroit Locker and a Detroit Truetrac for your vehicle, it is essential to consider the compatibility of the locking mechanism with the other drivetrain components.
The Detroit Locker is compatible with all drivetrain components, while the Detroit Truetrac is only compatible with specific drivetrain components.
The Detroit Locker is a locking differential that uses a clutch-based locking mechanism. This locking mechanism is compatible with all drivetrain components, including axles, transmissions, and transfer cases.
The Detroit Truetrac is a locking differential that uses a gear-based locking mechanism. This locking mechanism is only compatible with specific drivetrain components, including axles and transmissions.
Detroit Locker is designed for off-road use and is built to be incredibly tough and durable. It is made from heat-treated steel for strength and durability, and it features a double-lip seal to keep out water and debris.
Detroit Truetrac, on the other hand, is designed for both on- and off-road use. It is made from cast nodular iron for strength and durability, and it features a triple-lip seal to keep out water and debris.
Both locking mechanisms are incredibly tough and durable. Still, the Detroit Locker is specifically designed for off-road use and features a few extra features that make it even more durable.
If you are looking for a locking mechanism for your off-road vehicle, the Detroit Locker is the better choice. If you are looking for a locking mechanism for both on- and off-road use, the Detroit Truetrac is the better choice.
The Detroit Locker is an automatic locking differential that uses a ratcheting mechanism to lock the differential. When one wheel starts to slip, the ratchet mechanism locks the differential, transferring power to the other wheel. The Detroit Locker is very efficient in off-road conditions and provides 100% lockup when needed.
On the other hand, Detroit Truetrac is a limited-slip differential that uses clutch plates to provide traction to both wheels. The Detroit Truetrac is less efficient than the Detroit Locker in off-road conditions but still provides good traction.
Ease of installation
The installation of a Detroit Locker or Detroit Trutrac is straightforward. The only tools required are a socket set and a torque wrench. The installation can be completed in a few hours, and the average do-it-yourselfer should have no problem completing the installation.
Detroit Locker or Detroit Trutrac are designed to work with your existing factory axle and suspension components. There are no special modifications required for installation.
Remove the old differential carrier, install the new Detroit Locker or Detroit Trutrac, and reassemble. That’s it!
Detroit Locker is one of the quietest lockers on the market, thanks to its unique design that evenly distributes power to both wheels. This results in a smoother, more consistent operation that is significantly quieter than other locker options.
Detroit Truetrac, on the other hand, uses a series of gears and clutches to provide traction rather than locking the wheels together. This results in a locker that is significantly quieter than its locking counterparts but can still provide the same amount of traction when needed.
There are key differences between the Detroit Locker and the Detroit Truetrac. The first is weight. Also, the Detroit Locker weighs around 9.5 pounds, while the Detroit Truetrac weighs around 11 pounds. This may not seem like much of a difference, but it can add up over time and make a difference in how the Locker performs.

Finally, Detroit Locker vs. Truetrac: Which is better?
This is a difficult question, as the Detroit Locker and Truetrac have advantages and disadvantages. Ultimately, your best choice will depend on your driving style and needs. The Detroit Locker is a good option if you are looking for a strong and durable locking differential. However, if you are looking for a locking differential that is more versatile and can be used in various terrain, the Truetrac may be a better option.
Eaton Detroit Locker vs. Truetrac: The Main Difference
As the names suggest, the Eaton Detroit Locker and Truetrac are two very different locking differential systems.
The main difference between the two is that the Eaton Detroit Locker is a mechanical locking differential, while the Truetrac is an electronic locking differential.
The Eaton Detroit Locker is a locking differential that uses a series of spider gears to lock the two wheels together. This system is entirely mechanical and does not require any power to operate.
The Truetrac, on the other hand, is an electronic locking differential that uses sensors to detect when one wheel is slipping and then sends power to that wheel to help it regain traction.
The Eaton Detroit Locker is an excellent choice for off-roaders who want a locking differential that is tough and reliable. The Truetrac is a great choice for those who want an electronic locking differential that is easy to use and provides excellent traction control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Detroit Truetrac a locker?
Not a “locker,” but a helical gear restricted slip differential; the Truetrac is a great option. Power is transferred from the spinning wheel to the wheel with the best traction through the Truetrac’s mechanism. Traction loss is transferred to the wheel with a larger traction capacity when one tire loses control.
What is diff locker best for the street?
With selectable lockers, people who require the traction benefit of an actual locking differential while commuting may have it both ways. Open-differential performance is predictable and steady when using these lockers, which may be activated and deactivated at will.
How well does the Detroit Truetrac work?
Medium-duty 2WD and 4WD applications benefit from Detroit Truetracs. There is little or no resistance in the steering wheel when using them in front-drive steering axles, and they perform effectively in both directions.
What is the difference between a locker and posi?
Using a clutch plate to keep the wheels together, a posi track differential is a limited-slip differential. Differential torque causes the clutch pack to release and the wheels to rotate at different rates. A locker mechanically secures the wheels.
How long do limited slip differentials last?
After 100,000 miles, most rigs will require their rear differential repaired. Before 60,000 miles, the limited slip will likely need to be repaired if the vehicle is often driven on sand, dirt, gravel, or snow.
Is a Detroit Locker streetable?
Even though the Detroit Locker may be used on the street, the Detroit Locker was initially designed for heavy-duty, off-road applications. Eaton has a wide range of applications for heavy-duty vehicles on the road as well.
How strong is a Truetrac?
Maximum continuous torque for the Truetrac designs ranges from 2,500 Lb-Ft to 25,000 Lb-Ft, depending on the model. More giant gears and additional pinion sets may be used to increase the machine’s capacity.
So, Which One Is For Your Automobile?
The Detroit Locker is perfect for vehicles that see much off-roading or need extra traction in slippery conditions. The Truetrac, on the other hand, is a limited-slip differential that sends more power to the wheel with more traction.
So which one should you use in your vehicle between Detroit Locker vs. Truetrac?
If you’re mainly using your car on the street and don’t do much off-roading, the Truetrac is probably the better option. If you spend most of your time off-road or in challenging weather conditions, the Detroit Locker is the way to go – it can handle any terrain or condition you might encounter.

This week (April 25-30), we are hosting a roundtable on Russell Rickford’s We Are an African People: Independent Education, Black Power, and the Radical Imagination (Oxford University Press, 2016). Several scholars will offer reviews of the book and Russell Rickford will respond on the final day of the roundtable. We invite readers to join the discussion by leaving your thoughts in the comment section of the blog or by sharing your feedback on Twitter using the hashtag #WeAreAnAfricanPeople.
We begin with an introduction by our moderator Reena Goldthree, an Assistant Professor of African and African American Studies at Dartmouth College. She completed her undergraduate studies at Columbia University, earned a M.A. and Ph.D. from Duke University, and studied at the Institute for Gender and Development Studies at the University of the West Indies-St. Augustine as a Fulbright fellow. Her research explores the history of the African Diaspora in Latin America and the Caribbean with a focus on nationalism, migration, labor, and gender. Her current book project, Democracy Shall be no Empty Romance: War and the Politics of Empire in the Greater Caribbean, examines how the dislocations of World War I transformed political loyalties, racial identifications, and imperial policy in the British West Indies. Her publications include a chapter in the edited collection Global Circuits of Blackness: Interrogating the African Diaspora and forthcoming articles in the Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History and Labor: Studies in Working-Class History of the Americas. Goldthree currently serves on the editorial board of interdisciplinary journal, PALARA: The Publication of the Afro/Latin American Research Association.
In We Are An African People: Independent Education, Black Power, and the Radical Imagination, historian Russell Rickford chronicles the black independent school movement during the late 1960s and 1970s. Deftly combining intellectual history with a rigorous attention to the local, national, and international currents that spurred the movement, Rickford illuminates the role of autonomous educational institutions in the quest for black liberation. By 1970, at least 60 Pan-African nationalist schools existed across the United States, principally concentrated in urban locales in California, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, and the District of Columbia. Founded by veteran activist-intellectuals—many of whom were former members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)—these grassroots institutions included private preschools, K-12 facilities, and post-secondary campuses. Rooted in a “thoroughgoing critique of white cultural hegemony,” independent black schools combined academic instruction with robust political education, seeking to imbue students with a militant black consciousness and a deep commitment to black self-determination.1 As Rickford explains: “Pan African nationalist schools were far more than vessels of formal education. They were cooperatives, collectives, cultural centers, organs of community action and agitprop, and laboratories for a spectrum of ideas—from anti-imperialism and Third Worldism on the left to patriarchy and racial fundamentalism on the right.”2
Deeply researched and brilliantly argued, We Are An African People draws on archival materials, private papers, newspapers, pamphlets, and interviews to uncover the theory and praxis that shaped independent black schools. As Rickford acknowledges, black activists have often established “movement schools” as a component of mass struggle, including important earlier efforts by the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), Nation of Islam (NOI), and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Yet, the creation of Pan-African nationalist schools in the late 1960s and 1970s, Rickford writes, “signaled a strategic and philosophical shift from the pursuit of reform within a liberal democracy to the attempt to build the prospective infrastructure for an independent black nation, an entity that many activists imagined as a political and spiritual connection to the Third World.” 3 Indeed, while the activist-intellectuals who founded Pan-African nationalist schools drew inspiration from some domestic antecedents, they were most inspired by the writings of revolutionary figures from Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. As Rickford reveals, Che Guevara’s concept of the “New Man,” Julius Nyerere’s socialist vision of education as a tool for self-reliance, and the “bush schools” founded by guerilla fighters in Mozambique inspired and animated the political visions of independent school operators and teachers.
For the founders and administrators of Pan-African nationalist schools, the creation of independent educational ventures was not simply a means to secure educational autonomy. Rather, as Rickford insightfully argues, Pan-African nationalist schools functioned a form of prefiguration—an opportunity to enact “black cultural and political sovereignty” in anticipation of liberation. Drawing on theories of prefigurative politics, Rickford reveals that institution builders characterized African Americans as an internal colony and “viewed the classroom as the placenta of a nation.” Educational facilities thus served as a creative space for instantiating the new black nation—what Rickford deems the “African-American postcolony”—while living in the physical and legal borders of the United States. These institutions also served as local arenas to debate and deploy Black Power-era theories of internal colonialism.4
We Are an African People joins a rich body of scholarship that foregrounds the educational arena as a crucial site of black self-activity, consciousness raising, and collective struggle. The fight to control educational institutions, as Rickford reminds us, had implications far beyond the schoolhouse door. Recent studies of African Americans’ campaigns to remake educational institutions during the 1960s and 1970s—including work by Martha Biondi, Crystal Sanders, Komozi Woodard, Stefan Bradley, Ibram X. Kendi, and Richard D. Benson II—have linked battles for emancipatory education to campaigns to address the urgent material needs of black women, men, and children. Collectively, these new studies demonstrate the range of objectives black activists and intellectuals pursued in regards to education during the 1960s and 1970s, moving beyond the longstanding focus on desegregation.
This roundtable brings together leading scholars of African American history and Black Power Studies to assess the arguments and implications of We Are An African People. Rather than provide a critical overview of the entire work, each contributor will offer a focused analysis of a particular aspect of the book’s argument and consider how it contributes to our understanding of African American intellectual history, Black Power, and the Black radical tradition. In tomorrow’s post, Fanon Che Wilkins explores the dynamism of Black Power during the 1970s, calling attention to the changing ideological and political positions held by the cadres of activist-intellectuals who founded Pan-African nationalist schools. He situates We Are An African People in the burgeoning literature on Black Power while also raising new questions about the relationship between Pan-African nationalists and the black masses. On Wednesday, Ashley Farmer examines how patriarchal gender ideology shaped the movement to create and sustain independent black schools. She concurs with Rickford’s claim that patriarchy undermined black activists’ attempts to build schools for liberation, yet she also calls for a more detailed treatment of black women’s efforts to challenge gender constraints within the movement. On Thursday, Ibram X. Kendi interrogates the debates about African-American culture and folkways among the administrators of black independent schools. Kendi applauds Rickford for challenging the claims of Haki Madhubuti and other school operators who suggested that African Americans suffered from a degenerate culture and critiques the notion that the African American masses require rehabilitation as a prerequisite for liberation. On Friday, Derrick E. White highlights the contradictions between Pan-African nationalism as a political ideology and Pan-African nationalism as a guiding principle for building independent schools. As White points out, the pragmatic concerns of funding, staffing, and administering private educational institutions often stood in tension with the ideological aims of self-determination and self-sufficiency. Given the short existence of many of the independent schools examined in We Are An African People, Rickford’s work prompts important questions about the necessary preconditions for sustaining autonomous black institutions and the limits of prefigurative politics.permission.

Should they find themselves replaced by machines in the workplace in the future, 49% of Londoners have indicated they would not be happy to stop working and have their income provided for via a Universal Basic Income scheme, a Museum of London commissioned survey has found.
Universal Basic Income is a form of social security in which all residents of a country receive a regular, unconditional sum of money from the government, regardless of any other income and in theory would ensure a reasonable standard of living for recipients. This year, Finland became the first European nation to begin trialling the scheme.
The YouGov conducted study also revealed that only slightly above half of Londoners (51%), would support the introduction of a Universal Basic Income scheme should it become possible for robots and machines to do their jobs.
These remarkable findings contradict any notion of Londoners being ‘lazy’ and further suggest that despite the negative outlook on technology replacing jobs in the future, Londoners are prepared to source alternative means of supporting themselves rather than relying on the government.
The survey was commissioned by the Museum of London as part of City Now City Future, the museums first ever year-long season of over 100 events, exhibitions, displays, debates and creative commissions exploring urban evolution in London and around the world.
Running until April 2018, City Now City Future aims to discover what it means to live in a truly global city, with more than half of the world’s population now residing in urban areas.
As part of the season visitors can also see the museum’s major exhibition The City is Ours, which looks at the challenges and opportunities of urban living through a range of digital and physical interactives, films and models. The exhibit is also the first ever at the museum to be presented in both English and French.
Foteini Aravani, Digital Curator at the Museum of London, said:

Here is an interesting article that I helped in translation:
The large-scale emigration of physicians from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to high-income nations is a serious development concern. Our objective was to determine current emigration trends of SSA physicians found in the physician workforce of the United States.
Methods and Findings
We analyzed physician data from the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Health Workforce Statistics along with graduation and residency data from the 2011 American Medical Association Physician Masterfile (AMA-PM) on physicians trained or born in SSA countries who currently practice in the US. We estimated emigration proportions, year of US entry, years of practice before emigration, and length of time in the US. According to the 2011 AMA-PM, 10,819 physicians were born or trained in 28 SSA countries. Sixty-eight percent (n = 7,370) were SSA-trained, 20% (n = 2,126) were US-trained, and 12% (n = 1,323) were trained outside both SSA and the US. We estimated active physicians (age ≤70 years) to represent 96% (n = 10,377) of the total. Migration trends among SSA-trained physicians increased from 2002 to 2011 for all but one principal source country; the exception was South Africa whose physician migration to the US decreased by 8% (−156). The increase in last-decade migration was >50% in Nigeria (+1,113) and Ghana (+243), >100% in Ethiopia (+274), and >200% (+244) in Sudan. Liberia was the most affected by migration to the US with 77% (n = 175) of its estimated physicians in the 2011 AMA-PM. On average, SSA-trained physicians have been in the US for 18 years. They practiced for 6.5 years before US entry, and nearly half emigrated during the implementation years (1984–1999) of the structural adjustment programs.
Physician emigration from SSA to the US is increasing for most SSA source countries. Unless far-reaching policies are implemented by the US and SSA countries, the current emigration trends will persist, and the US will remain a leading destination for SSA physicians emigrating from the continent of greatest need.

South Fire District budget approved by voters
MIDDLETOWN — Voters casting ballots at the South Fire District budget referendum for the 2012-13 fiscal year Tuesday approved the measure by vote of 619-475.
Chief Edward Badamo said there are approximately 6,500 registered voters in the district, representing an approximate 16.8 percent turnout for Tuesday’s referendum.
Badamo said he was pleased at the outcome.
“Now we will be able to focus on our day-to-day affairs, our regular efforts,” he said.
Voters approved a $4.6 million budget for the district, a $243,000 or 5.56 percent increase over current year spending of $4.36 million.
The increase calls for a proposed two percent mil rate increase, from 3.57 currently to 3.65 mils.

Retro designs updated with modern technology
Despite their distinctive '50s look, Brandish says these sets are outfitted with modern technology such as DVD and stereo hookups. Pictured here is one of the more eye-catching versions, which it describes this way: "The Meteor, the quirkiest of the models, is designed by Mike L. Scott and has aircraft/UFO inspired legs, a hand-built hardwood cabinet and a 24-inch screen, which pivots on a polished brass collar."
Just pop in a black-and-white Godzilla movie, and the effect will be complete.

A leaked early draft of the Supreme Court’s opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health has spurred abortion supporters to stage loud, but so far peaceful protests, not just outside the Supreme Court building on Capitol Hill, but in front of the private homes of several of the Court’s justices. This is clearly meant to intimidate and harass the justices who support overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that declared abortion to be a constitutional right.
When does protest become intimidation? Should we condone it when the same political harassment that presidents, senators, and congressmen must sometimes endure is directed at the nine lifetime-appointed justices of the Supreme Court?
Someone, possibly a clerk, leaked a draft of the Court’s majority opinion, written by conservative justice Samuel Alito, to Politico, which published it. Within hours, angry mobs formed at the Supreme Court building to protest a decision that had not yet been made. Within days, similar pro-abortion mobs began appearing curbside in front of the suburban homes of justices Kavanaugh, Thomas, Alito, and Barrett. The protests have so far remained peaceful, but this kind of political expression that happens occasionally to senators and congressmen in public is unfamiliar to the Court’s members. Extra security measures have been approved for the justices in light of the protests and the Court’s impending decision announcement, expected next month.
Eric Eggers and Peter Schweizer explore the topic in the latest episode of The Drill Down.
Eric notes that congressional representatives are elected and answerable to the people who elected them, whereas the US Constitution deliberately insulates Supreme Court justices from public pressure. As one example, Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was screamed at while dining with his wife by organized protesters who trespassed into the Washington, DC restaurant to do it. No arrests were made. Most veteran politicians become accustomed to such attempts at intimidation, and Cruz himself shrugged and said, “it goes with the territory.”
It is rare that it happens to judges, but not unknown.
Eric tells a story many might not be familiar with, of federal judge in Virginia named Robert R. Merhige, Jr. In the early 1970s, Merhige’s orders to integrate dozens of Virginia’s school systems made him “the most hated man in Richmond in the early 1970s and required 24-hour protection by U.S. marshals. Segregationists threatened his family, spat in his face and shot his dog to death after tying its legs. Protesters held weekly parades outside his home. A guest cottage on his property, where his mother-in-law lived, was burned to the ground,” according to the Washington Post.
Another federal judge in Alabama during the civil rights era, Frank M. Johnson Jr., had experienced so much intimidation for his rulings that federal marshals provided him round-the-clock protection for almost 15 years, beginning after a cross was burned on his front lawn in December 1956 following the Supreme Court’s final order to desegregate the buses in Montgomery. Without complaint, he endured social ostracism, death threats, and the bombing of his mother’s home in the mistaken belief that the home was his. In 1965, Johnson’s ruling allowed Martin Luther King’s Selma-Montgomery march to proceed.
Peter and Eric criticize the response from the White House under President Joe Biden as seeming to encourage the protests at the homes of the justices. A White House spokeswoman said, “We know the passion. We understand the passion. We understand the concern. But what the president’s position is, is that that should be peaceful — the protests.”
There is a law that would seem to apply to this. Federal US code 1507 says, any individual who “pickets or parades” with the “intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer” near a US court or “near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer” will be fined, or “imprisoned not more than one year, or both.” No arrests or fines have been issued to the protesters at the justices’ homes.
Peter says this activity amounts to a veiled threat against the justices. “They’re saying, ‘I know where you live. I’m going to make your life miserable if you don’t vote the way I want.’”
Continuing, Peter says of the Biden administration, “They wanted to energize Democratic voters and there’s no question that Joe Biden and a lot of Democrat leaders are encouraging these protesters because they see this as a way of keeping Democratic majorities in the House and the Senate by angering their voters over Roe v. Wade.”
While the Supreme Court is not used to having their home addresses made public, they are used to criticism. President Obama actually called them out during his State of the Union address in 2010, for its decision in the Citizens United case. After the Court’s famous decision in Brown v. Board of Education, Chief Justice Earl Warren was threatened with impeachment. But the justices have not yet had to endure anything like what happened to Arizona Democratic Senator Krysten Sinema, who was followed and filmed last year in a public women’s bathroom by an organized group of protesters angry over her vote on, of all things, an infrastructure bill.

On the advice of a colleague and a few others, I signed up for HBO Max streaming. A bit pricey, but dang, do they have an amazing catalog.
One of the shows that caught my eye is an adaptation of Caleb Carr’s outstanding novel, “The Alienist”. Produced by TNT, it is a period piece, set in New York city circa 1896, and has a cast of characters that reads like a who’s who of the times.
I read the book when it first came out, and loved it. It is a dark tale of an Alienist (precursor to psychologists) who was asked by the Police Commissioner (Teddy Roosevelt) to investigate a disturbing series of murders of young boys who ply their trade in the dens of iniquity (boy whores).
There are key divergences from the novel, and some embellishments that greatly add to the production, and the enjoyment of the show.
I am about three quarters done, and will finish it shortly, but I HIGHLY recommend this show. 10 episodes, about 45 minutes each, and the production value is off the charts good. They capture the grittiness of New York at the turn of the 20th century perfectly.

With a warren of thin, cobbled paths running down to a wide, bluff upheld shoreline, Nazaré is Estremadura’s most pleasant waterfront resort. The sands are stuffed one end to the other with kaleidoscopic umbrellas in July and August, yet the gathering climate isn’t constrained to the late spring shoreline scene – Nazaré is one of Portugal’s top draws for New Year’s Eve and Carnaval festivities too.
The town focus is stuck with fish eateries, bars and nearby ladies in customary dress selling spaces for rent, particularly close seafront Av da República. To get an alternate point of view, take the funicular up to Promontório do Sítio, where picture-postcard seaside sees develop from the bluffs.
Nazaré has hit the features as of late for the creature waves that come in only north of town and the record-breaking accomplishments of the gutsy surfers that ride them.
Lately, Nazare has been famous around the world for it’s massive, huge, enormous waves, where the World Guinness Records stands, for the biggest ever surfed wave in the world, with more than 30 meters (100 foot).

It will be up to Debbie Stabenow and her colleagues in Congress to design smart programs, so a small amount of seed money yields a large crop of urban-ag successes.
By Urban C Lehner
The Progressive Farmer
(Must see. Mike)
Deciding whether urban-agriculture legislation makes sense requires pondering two questions. The first and most fundamental: Does urban agriculture make sense?
It’s tempting to say the jury is still out. Urban agriculture is an infant industry — industries, really, for there are many urban-agricultural models. There are restaurants growing their own fruits and vegetables on their rooftops and community groups growing them on vacant lots. There’s Ed Horton’s vertical farm on an eighth of an acre inside an Irvine, California, office building. There’s A.G. and Matt Kawamura’s 40 parcels, 1,000 acres total, dotting the southern Los Angeles suburbs.
For urban agriculture to make sense does not require that cities grow enough food to feed themselves. That will never happen. But they need to grow enough to make a difference — and provide jobs and environmental benefits, as well. That will require some of the models to demonstrate sustainable business success.
Time will tell, but enough of the models look promising that there’s reason to hope this will happen. The odds will improve if government provides some strategic support for urban farming is in its infancy.
Which raises the second question: What, if anything, can the government sensibly do to promote urban agricultural success? What kind of support will prove “strategic?”

One week after the killing of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini by so-called morality police in Iran sent shockwaves throughout the country, Iranian authorities continue systemic efforts to oppress thousands of fierce protesters who condemn the authorities for their role in Amini’s death and their strict enforcement of the country’s mandatory hijab laws. Authorities have responded to the nationwide protests in Iran with intolerance and brutality, in many cases attacking protesters with batons, tear gas, water hoses, and even firing shots into crowds. The Center for Human Rights in Iran reported on Thursday that at least 36 people had been killed by security forces during the protests, though those numbers could be much higher given the state’s attempt to cover up and shut off Iranians from the outside world. One report indicated another young woman, 23-year-old Hannaneh Kia, was killed on Thursday night during protests in the city of Nowshahr in Mazandaran Province.
The Islamic Republic has responded to the growing unrest by issuing messages of intimidation and threats against those who participate in the protests. The military vowed on Friday “to confront the enemies’ various plots in order to ensure security and peace for the people who are being unjustly assaulted.” Iranian leaders have attempted to suppress anti-government sentiment by organizing counter-demonstrations in several cities in Iran on Friday, where protesters could be heard chanting slogans such as “Death to America” and “Offenders of the Koran must be executed.”
The Iranian government has also been using Telegram — a messaging service used by over 65 percent of the Iranian population — “to identify and harm” those who have participated in the protests. The government’s channel called Setade114, which currently has more than 20,000 subscribers, has been referred to by activists as a “snitch line” where Iranians can share photos and videos to expose the identities of anti-government demonstrators. The information acquired by the government through Telegram places in jeopardy the safety and freedom of many Iranians who have criticized the Islamic Republic’s violations of human rights in recent days.
Among the journalists and activists who Iranian authorities have arrested are Fatemeh Rajabi, Ruhollah Nakhaee, Mohammad Reza Jalaeipour, and Majid Tavakoli. Activist Atena Daemi’s sister was also beaten by authorities for refusing to wear a hijab and arrested with her husband.
The ongoing crackdown on protesters in Iran provides further confirmation that Iranian authorities are continuing on a path of flagrant authoritarianism and cruelty that could fan the flames of internal unrest. In the face of criticism, Iranian leaders have only doubled-down on their unjust policies and escalated their tactics of violence and intimidation against the people of Iran. NIAC stands with the Iranian people and with people around the world who have rightly and strongly condemned the Islamic Republic for its brutality and its refusal to acknowledge the right of Iranian protesters to air their grievances without fear of reprisal.Back to top

When thoughts and feelings are interfering with your daily life, counselling can be very helpful. Navigating trauma, depression, and anxiety, or other strains on mental health is complicated. Doing it alone makes it even more so. Reaching out for help from a professional doesn’t mean you’re weak; it means you’re ready to start getting stronger.
Counselling has, unfortunately, had a stigma attached. The medical model was developed to fix what was “broken.” People receiving counselling are not broken. Human beings are malleable and can rewire themselves. A professional counsellor can help with this plasticity by allowing the release of painful or unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
The major benefit of the counselling services we provide is to help people deal with mental health challenges such as but not limited to;
