My favorite destination in the world is Moran State Park, on Orcas Island in Washington State. I first started going with my best friend and his family when I was in 6th grade. I am never more relaxed and happy than when I am hiking, fishing in Cascade Lake, or just gazing at the various water views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. My most memorable vacation was a three week tour of South Africa which included Zimbabwe and Botswana with my 86 year old uncle. I am now fascinated with elephants because they seem so intelligent and the mothers are so attentive to their calves.
We are looking forward to having you as our guest. We would like to share our beautiful city of Tucson with you. The winter weather is spectacular and the views are incredible. If you are an outdoor enthusiast, this is the place for you. 9100' Mount Lemmon is 1 hour and 20 minutes away with many hiking trails and a ski lift. Many world class triathletes train here. The Desert Museum is a must see as are Kartchner Caverns and Old Tucson. And let's not forget the Gem and Mineral show in February and the Tucson Festival of Books in March.
Hope to see you soon.

Number of children alone at border sets record
WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. government picked up nearly 19,000 children traveling alone across the Mexican border in March, authorities said Thursday, the largest monthly number ever recorded and a major test for President Joe Biden as he reverses many of his predecessor’s hard-line immigration tactics.
A complex mix of factors in the United States and Central America drove the increase. It has coincided with the Biden administration’s decision to exempt unaccompanied children from pandemic-related powers to immediately expel most people from the country without giving them an opportunity to seek asylum. Children are instead released to “sponsors” in the U.S., usually parents or close relatives, while being allowed to pursue their cases in heavily backlogged immigration courts.
The Border Patrol encountered 18,663 unaccompanied children in March, well above previous highs of 11,475 in May 2019 and 10,620 in June 2014. The agency started publishing the numbers in 2009. Before then, adults made up the vast majority of those crossing the border.
March’s count was roughly double the number of unaccompanied children encountered by the Border Patrol in February and more than five times the number in March 2020.
The huge increase in children traveling alone - some as young as 3 - and families has severely strained border holding facilities, which aren’t allowed to hold people for more than three days but often do. It’s left the government scrambling to find space and hire staff to care for children longer term until they can be placed with sponsors.
For many, a hurricane that hit Central America in November added urgency to endemic poverty and violence that have led people to flee for decades. Changes in U.S. policy under Biden also have guided their decisions, whether real or rumored.
Amid the growing numbers, more than 4,000 people at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection holding facility have been jammed into a space designed for 250 at a tent complex in Donna, Texas. They lay inches apart on mats on the floor with foil blankets.
CBP must transfer unaccompanied children within 72 hours to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, whose facilities are more suited to longer-term care while arrangements are made to release them. More than 2,000 children were held longer than that at the Donna facility one day last week, with 39 there at least 15 days.

Mariana Fruit-dove (Ptilinopus roseicapilla) - Wiki
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mariana Fruit-dove, Ptilinopus roseicapilla also known locally as Mwee’mwe in the Carolinian language, Totot on Guam or Paluman Totut in Northern Mariana Islands is a small, up to 24cm long, green fruit dove native and endemic to Guam and the Northern Marianas Islands in the Pacific. It has a red forehead, greyish head, back and breast, and yellow belly patch and undertail coverts.
The female lays a single white egg. The chick and egg are tended to by both parents. Its diet consists mainly of fruits.
Culturally, the Mariana Fruit-dove is a very important symbol of the region. This species is the official bird of the Northern Marianas Islands. In 2005, the Mariana Fruit-dove was originally chosen as the official mascot of the 2006 Micronesian Games in Saipan. However, the official website for the games shows a tropicbird as the official symbol instead of the Mariana Fruit-dove.
The species faces extinction due to habitat loss throughout its range. A larger threat to the Mariana Fruit-dove has been the accidental introduction of the Brown tree snake to Guam during World War II. The snakes decimated the native bird populations of the island, which were unaccustomed to predators. They are extinct on Guam and the Mariana Fruit-dove is highly endangered on other islands in its range. The spread of the snakes to other Northern Marianas Islands could be devastating. Several zoos have started captive breeding programs. The St. Louis Zoo, in St. Louis, Missouri, has one of the most successful captive breeding programs. The program began in 1993.
Due to ongoing habitat loss, limited range, small population size and invasive alien species, the Mariana Fruit-dove is evaluated as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Bombs away ...
The US, for all that the Taleban played a major part in confusing the issue, got it wrong in early May when it launched a series of airstrikes on compounds near the village of Granai in western Farah province.
Despite the recent savagery of the Taleban, killing 25 people, including at least 15 school children, in a bomb attack in the central province of Logar, the Americans have belatedly realised that their killing of Afghani citizens is doing significant damage to the "hearts and minds" effort.
Thus, one of the first moves by newly appointed Army General Stanley McChrystal was to issue "revised guidelines" on the use of air support, telling commanders "to scrutinize and limit" air strikes against residential buildings and other targets that are "likely to produce civilian casualties." Such injuries and deaths, he says, can "turn the Afghan people against us."
According to The Times, this has had a significant effect. Since the guidelines came into force the proportion of contacts that resulted in calls for close air support has dropped from 35 percent of all engagements to 17 percent.
Since the US provides in the order of 90 percent of fixed-wing air support for British operations, this tighter control of air power will inevitably impact on our forces, with fears that this will result in a higher mortality rate amongst our troops.
This has been picked up by the British media, notably The Daily Telegraph which choose to focus on the negative, declaring: "Troop deaths are a risk worth paying, says Nato leader in Afghanistan."
The line here is that McChrystal believes that if civilians began to support the Taliban, it would make the war unwinnable. "In the long run it is more economical in terms of loss of life to operate this way because we can gain the support of the population," he thus says.
Putting that in perspective, he adds: "We want to protect the lives of civilians, but I believe that risks we accept now save coalition soldiers in the long run. If you create antipathy in the population, you are going to create more insurgents."
The Times focuses on that particular aspect, headlining its report with: "Troops in Afghanistan could defeat themselves, says new commander."
It has McChrystal "determined to end the costly bombing errors that he believes have threatened the entire success of the Afghan". It then has him saying: "The Taleban cannot defeat us militarily, but we can defeat ourselves ... We will not win based on the number of Taleban we kill, but instead on our ability to separate insurgents from the centre of gravity — the people. Following this intent requires a cultural shift within our forces."
His own fighting philosophy, we are told, is unwavering. "One thing I would want the British public to know," he says, "is that there are multiple ways to do this and one of them is to use overwhelming firepower."
"We could use artillery and airpower and that would do tremendous damage to the infrastructure and cause a tremendous number of civilian casualties — and in so doing we would probably seal the fact that we would lose the fight over time, because we would convince the Afghan people that no matter what we said, we are not much concerned about their wellbeing."
He adds: "Even if all our good intentions say we are here to save them it goes back to the old cliché of 'we destroyed the village to save it'. If you own the village you feel differently about that. If we operate in a way that creates damage or that actually, God forbid, kills innocents, it is pretty hard to see how the population could do anything but associate our arrival with something that hurts them."
The Times notes that, during the summer of 2007, British and other Western forces operating in Helmand called in an average of 22 tons of bombs per month - almost half the bombs that fell on Afghanistan at that time. Some of that dependency on air power, it says, would appear to have come from the under-resourcing of the British mission.
It is certainly the case that there is a tendency to over-rely on air power, not least by sending out poorly supported or ill-equipped detachments which need air support to enable them to extract if they are confronted by a sizeable number of Taleban.
Elsewhere, we have argued precisely that point, also arguing for the greater use of heavy calibre mortars, a point that is taken up on our forum.
With developing technology, there is also becoming available laser-guided mortar bombs which give ground commanders their own "surgical strike" capabilities over a range of nearly eight miles. With newly available, high performance mini-UAVs commanders can have their own air surveillance, giving them the capability to adjust and direct fire, offering a genuine alternative to air strikes for certain operations.
Even under the current state of art though, it is interesting to note the comments of a serving US soldier who noted that "the Air Force could never hit small groups of personnel." He watched and called corrections on numerous sorties and they could never hit the targets. "My verdict," he concluded, "is if you want it killed use you mortars."
On balance, therefore, it is probably fair to say that, with an adjustment in tactics and the better use of available weaponry, fears of increased casualties through a more restricted used of air power need not materialise.

Whoa there, a Truckin' that lives up to its name. Just like the DooDah Man, this acoustic version just lopes along, perfectly sung in a show with some of the best singing I've heard from the band. NRPS members pop up in the mix. Very different from those wonderful 1973-74 extended jammed out versions. This song just trucks along,more or less in line. JOY!


The above picture is of a forsythia bush that I saw blooming on December 15th and again today, March 7th.
Although I lived away from Kansas City for most of my adult life, I remember the winter weather of my childhood, and let me tell you: What we have in K.C. now isn’t it. When I was a kid, winters were cold and drab. The ground in early March was generally covered with patches of ice and dirty snow, all shades of gray. This year, we’ve gone from roses and forsythias blooming in mid-December to magnolias and forsythias blooming in early March. As for snow, we had a couple of dustings, but they melted swiftly away.
On a walk this afternoon, I saw crocuses, daffodils, vinca, spirea, magnolias and forsythias in full bloom; crab apples and redbuds a day or two away from blooming, and yellow-green baby leaves on many of the trees and shrubs.
Unfortunately for the rest of the world, weird weather events aren’t confined to Kansas City; they’re occurring all over the planet. Did you see, for example, the story about the organizers of the Iditarod having train-loads of snow sent to Anchorage for the start of the annual dog-sled race?

Gustin: I think because of the talk that Barry has with Joe after that fight and everything, I think he’s not necessarily down on himself. I think he’s ready to move forward. Cisco has come up with new ways for Barry to train and Barry’s kind of refocused his energy on being ready for the next time and not really beating himself up too much for losing the first battle. He also gets distracted, as usually happens - he’s distracted by other villains coming in and other personal things in his life. Barry isn’t really weighed down by anything. I talked about it a lot earlier on, but in general with Barry -- Geoff Johns said it best -- is with an anchor you don’t cut it off and leave it at the bottom of the ocean, you pull it up and carry it along with you. He lost that battle with the Reverse-Flash but it’s not going to stop him. He’s going to keep moving forward and he’s going to be ready for the next time.
What did you think?
Have you watched The Flash?
Gustin: Yeah, when we come back with episode ten, it’s still 100%. Barry has no other option or reason for anything else at this point. Wells has been there for him. They’ve had their moments and they both can be emotional characters but Barry still trusts Wells with his life at this point, when we come back. IGN: The next episode is the one I was on set for back in October, with Heat Wave’s introduction. Barry faced Captain Cold on his own and found him pretty formidable. Now that Captain Cold’s come back with a partner, how does Barry deal with that?
Gustin: It changes things. it’s unexpected, first of all, initially. It does prove to be too much in some ways and Barry needs some help, some back up, and many more people are about to find out about the Flash’s existence and not just the rumor of ‘The Streak’ but that there is this superhero protecting the city. And that is because there is, as you saw, a very public battle that’s going to take place.
IGN: Have you started filming the episode with Mark Hamill yet?
Gustin: No. I haven’t even read that script yet.
IGN: Are you excited about that though?
Gustin: It’s unbelievable, kind of. All the guest stars have been really amazing. Victor Garber, the fact that we got him blew my mind. Clancy Brown, who’s been in so many award-winning films and Tom Cavanaugh is a series regular, and Jesse L. Martin I’ve been a fan of my whole life. But Mark Hamill, that’s kind of a different type of holy s**t, you’re one of the most legendary iconic characters of all time. So it’s really f**king cool and I’m really excited to meet him and his storyline has some really cool twists involved that are connected to his stint from 25 years ago on the Flash which is cool that we’re doing that nod. It’s really exciting.
IGN: You mentioned Victor. I was talking to Greg [Berlanti] earlier and he mentioned there’s a big two-parter that’s firestorm related. Obviously Ronnie is an important person in Caitlin’s life but how will it affect Barry and what’s Victor’s role in it all?
Gustin: We don’t really know what’s going on with Ronnie at this point. He saved Barry’s life but then he said don’t try and find me and he flew away. So at this point, we don’t know what’s going on with Ronnie. He’s clearly on himself at this point and as we introduce Victor’s character, it’ll start to become more clear why he’s not himself and what exactly is going on. They’re both, first of all, a joy to work with. Robbie [Amell] and Victor they’re just two of the sweetest, nicest men and they’re so excited to be here and it’s great.
Continue to Page 2 as Gustin discusses Barry elevating his powers, the escalation of supervillains and if he'd like to see The Flash team-up with Supergirl.

In case you want to download this game because it looks good, but to remind that it is an idle RPG game.
After clear level 55 I have the following views on this game:
+ Game effect is doing pretty well, and the skills are cool, especially being able to use both weapons' skills at the same time
+ Not 100% non-controllable, you can still control the character and dodge the boss's AOE attacks
+ You can reincarnate and get relics to strengthen your character, which increases playability
+ Support offline to get coins & EXP
- The content is too monotonous. It gets me bored quickly after playing for a while. The new systems unlocked like upgrading skills, buying or pulling better equipment are all about increasing your character attributes. I think such a game still needs to add more gameplay and fun to keep players interested
- Need better optimization, the FPS during the battle is relatively lower, sometimes stuck
It is a sophisticated idle RPG, but I'm not particularly impressed with its overall quality.

Pipeline strainers protect your pipes from damage due to dirt and sediment that can be carried through your piping. This video will explain various types of strainers than can be used in your piping.
Y-type strainers remove foreign matter from your pipelines and protect associated equipment like pumps, valves, meters, etc. They can be used in pressurized, steam, liquid, gas, or suction pipes. The only drawback is that they cannot be installed in piping with upward flows.
Strainers can take out dirt and other objects that you don’t want in the fluid. It can be very helpful to catch things, like a ring, that may fall into your sink. They can be installed in horizontal pipelines with high flow capacity.
Duplex Basket Strainer
You can get a dual basket strainer. It is made up of two parallel basket strainers with diverting valves to guide the flow of water. It’s good for chemical and abrasive applications, and there is no interruption in the straining process by altering the flow of fluid once the first is full.
Pipeline strainers come in a variety of designs depending on the application they are being used for. To learn more about the strainer designs and the metals that they can be made out of, click the link on the video above.

Watch & Listen
On July 4th, 1997, Paul Ryan and Jeremy Turner, acquaintances through mutual friends, had a conversation that would change their lives. Shortly thereafter, the two guitarists/vocalists got together and started jamming with the intent to create a band embodying blistering speed, total brutality, technical proficiency, and the utmost in quality musicianship.
In October, 1997, they convinced long-time friend Clint Appelhanz to put down his guitar, pick up a bass and join them. Coincidentally, Paul was also good friends with vocalist Mark Manning, who possessed an unbelievably monstrous voice of unmatched ferocity. After hearing the damage the existing members had rendered, Mark aligned himself with the nascent group. In January, 1998, the quartet found drummer George Fluke, who enabled the artists to push the boundaries of their music even further.
Finally, after deciding on a moniker that best represented their vision, the unearthly entity known as ORIGIN was created. Four months after formation, ORIGIN landed a high-profile gig opening for SUFFOCATION, and unleashed on the unsuspecting crowd a torrent of unbelievably technical, pulverizing death metal. The band then entered the studio and recorded a four-song, self-financed and self-distributed demo entitled "A Coming Into Existence," which received rave reviews. During the summer Origin played a couple more shows with bands WORMWOOD, DISASSOCIATE, DOWN BY ANGER & THE HEAVILY CREATED.
In October, 1998, Origin secured an opening slot on the Death Across America Tour which included NILE, CRYPTOPSY, OPPRESSOR and GORGUTS. In February, 1999, drummer John Longstreth (ex-ANGEL CORPSE) joined ORIGIN, replacing George Fluke, furthering the thunderous ORIGIN assault. Longstreth also brought with him bassist Doug Williams, previously of CEPHALIC CARNAGE, who would also join ORIGIN, replacing Clint Appelhanz. The revamped lineup immediately began writing new material and injecting more life and vigor into the old material, while playing many shows in Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, New Mexico, Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa and Arkansas.
After obtaining the "A Coming Into Existence" demo, Relapse Records quickly welcomed ORIGIN to its family. Referencing everything from ATHEIST to SUFFOCATION, ORIGIN can only be described as a relentless musical war. Exploding forth with the intensity of a second Big Bang, ORIGIN launch cranium-collapsing projectiles of extremely fierce deathgrind, merging technicality with utter brutality.
A devastating live set at the 1999 November To Dismember (Tx.) hinted at the contents of ORIGINs self-titled debut. Their debut delivered a punishing concussion, fusing merciless staccato guitar riffing with a homicidal vocal triumvirate and a rapid-fire percussive attack that shatters the space-time continuum. Menacing tracks such as "Lethal Manipulation (The Bonecrusher Chronicles)," "Vomit You Out," "Mental Torment" and "Inner Reflections" were but a few examples of ORIGIN's extremity. ORIGIN performed at all the major 2000 U.S. festivals including the Milwaukee Metalfest, March Metal Meltdown (Nj.), November To Dismember (Ca.) and the Midwest Metalfest (Kc.), allowing many newcomers to witness the phenomenon. The buzz on the band quickly grew as word of their uncompromising live performances spread rapidly.
ORIGIN was invited to take part in Contaminated 2000 (EXHUMED & CEPHALIC CARNAGE) and the high profile Death Across America 2000 Tour - joining forces with Poland? VADER and labelmates CEPHALIC CARNAGE and DYING FETUS - further annihilating the metal masses. Soon after, ORIGIN embarked on yet another tour, this time alongside mathcore titans CANDIRIA, Canada's CRYPTOPSY and hardcore upstarts POISON THE WELL. Other tours included acts with SKINLESS, IMPALED & VADER plus a headlining tour of their own before beginning work on the next CD. Merciless, enormous and all-encompassing, ORIGIN delivered a sonic barrage of inhuman proportions with their next album. Introducing two new members James Lee on vocals (ILL-OMEN) & Mike Flores (ONCE LIVING) on bass, the mind-eroding "Informis Infinitas Inhumanitas." was faster, darker, and more complex than anything the death genre has issued to date. "Informis Infinitas Inhumanitas" showcased ORIGIN's otherworldly musicianship while delivering heinous amounts of the band's unique "aggro-tech" extremity.
Immediately following the release of "Informis Infinitas Inhumanitas," ORIGIN hit the road as part of the largest metal tour of the summer; with NILE, ARCH ENEMY and HATE ETERNAL. Following the tour Jeremy Turner resigned from the band and Clint Appelhanz returned to do a tour with IMMOLATION, VADER & the BERZERKER followed by another tour with ALL THAT REMAINS, SCAR CULTURE, and CREMATORIUM. Unforeseen problems forced ORIGIN to cancel the tour with NUCLEAR ASSAULT in January 2003 and shortly thereafter John Longstreth resigned from the band. The search was on for a new drummer and luckily enough James King (UNMERCIFUL) was the man to fill the spot.
The band played its first show with the new lineup in September 2003 in Topeka Ks., where the ORIGIN ?ortal?video was filmed courtesy of Ryan Caddell and OPTIKULT films. The band then proceeded with a headlining tour in January 2004 with UPHILL BATTLE up and down the West Coast. Summer 2004 saw ORIGIN touring throughout the Midwest, hitting the Milwaukee Metalfest 2004 and The Texas Death & Grindfest with labelmates SOILENT GREEN and KILL THE CLIENT.
In 2005, ORIGIN returned with the absolutely mind-confounding album "Echoes of Decimation," which immediately stunned the metal community and catapulted ORIGIN back amongst extreme music's elite acts. Numerous U.S. tours immediately followed including headlining featured performances at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival and Ohio Deathfest. The band then joined forces for a summer North American tour with MALEVOLENT CREATION and ANIMOSITY blowing the doors off of every venue along the tour trail. The tour for ORIGIN was 52 days long with only 3 shows off due to cancellation. ORIGIN drove through over 30 states, 1 show in Mexico & over 16,000 miles were put on the odometer.
In Spring 2006, James King and Clint Appelhanz left ORIGIN. John Longstreth rejoined to fill the drummer position and the band headed out on a headlining North American tour during the Summer of '06. In early 2007, ORIGIN embarked on their first ever European tour with labelmates MISERY INDEX and NECROPHAGIST. The band was met with overwhelming praise from new- and old-fans alike as well as press who were all seeing the band? destructive live set for the first time. In June 2007, Jeremy Turner rejoined ORIGIN, thus re-forming the "Informis Infinitas Inhumanitas" line-up, which is widely considered to be the band's strongest line-up.
The band began writing and recording for a new full-length for the remainder of 2007. The resulting brand new album, "Antithesis," was engineered by Rob Rebeck at Chapman Studios and mastered by Scott Hull at Visceral Sound. Antithesis is marked for an April 2008 release date and explodes out of the box at breakneck speed, with guitars and bass shredding wildly behind a beastly 3-vocal attack, slowing only for the virtuosic soloing of emerging guitar heroes Paul Ryan and Jeremy Turner. Faster, heavier, and decidedly more advanced than anyone could have ever envisioned the genre becoming, Antithesis is a modern day death metal classic, which proves ORIGIN stand head and shoulders above their peers.

For the recent successes of technical death outfit ARCHSPIRE to come into fruition, certain variables must align. Talent, drive, creativitiy, and absolute dedication are only a few characteristics one may notice about the group, and indeed many have experienced the bi-product of these characteristics:
A tight live performance, where impressive speeds come grinding to a halt, and in even less time twist and contort into complex passages rife with beautiful harmonies, juxtaposed against insidious melodies. An attention to songwriting, focusing not only on technicality, but originality as well, take this sub genre and put it on it's ear. And the combination of musical backgrounds, which is apparent in much of ARCHSPIRE'S music, showing itself through catchy rhythms, interesting riffs and arrangements, and progressive passages.
Pushing boundaries of speed and endurance set only by the genre's top artists, while remaining accessible and interesting is no small feat. These Canadians have proven themselves worthy of touring and playing with bands like Origin, Decapitated, Hate Eternal, Abysmal Dawn, Vomitory, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and Aborted.
When all the elements required align in such a way that they form something original, and interesting, it becomes a catalyst for something new... and in the case of ARCHSPIRE, All has indeed, Aligned.
For fans of : Origin, Spawn of Possession, Obscura, and Immolation.

German death metal band, formed in 1994 by Wolfgang Teske and Lille Gruber, since then the band has recorded numerous demos and split-releases and have extended their line-up to a full roster of musicians.
Cited as “one of the best death metal albums to come out of the UK in the last twenty years” by Metal Hammer’s Dom Lawson, Dyscarnate’s devastating new record ‘And So It Came To Pass’ has been met with an unprecedented reaction from both international press and fans. Like the 300 Spartans, Dyscarnate show what effect a small, but elite force can have when focused on a common goal; annihilating everything that stands before them. In 2012, the band will do just that, bringing their blitzkrieg of a live show across the face of the earth; leaving smoking craters and shell-shocked audiences where stages once stood.
Following the release of the debut EP ‘Annihilate to Liberate’ in 2008, Dyscarnate were met with overwhelming feedback from national magazines, record labels and fans alike. This resulted in a multi-album deal with the UK’s Siege Of Amida Records, which provided the band with the perfect platform to release their debut full-length album 'Enduring The Massacre', which asserted them as “the best new death metal band in the UK, without question”, according to the British press.
Having toured extensively and internationally with such high profile names as Cephalic Carnage, Psycroptic, Despised Icon and The Black Dahlia Murder, the band then decided to follow up the success of their debut album, losing no time as they composed their uncompromising sophomore effort, injecting even more catchiness into their highly infectious strain of brutality. The new record which was
recorded once again at Foel Studios with Chris Fielding, and mixed and mastered in Denmark by Jacob Hansen (Aborted, Destruction, Xerath, Trigger The Bloodshed) is a far more mature, varied offering, and officially asserts Dyscarnate as luminaries of the new wave of british death metal on the worldwide extreme music scene.
Three men. One purpose. One sound.
Always outnumbered, never outgunned.
From the violence-ridden bowels of Baltimore emerges VISCERAL DISGORGE vomiting forth their debut album INGESTING PUTRIDITY. Serving up 9 bloody cuts that will captivate the enthusiasts of brutality everywhere
The Kennedy Veil
In 2009 the world bore witness to a whole new brutality, sure to brace the metal scene for years to come. Ascending from the depths of the Northern California Valley, The Kennedy Veil unleashed upon the scene their own fanatical perspective of American Death Metal.
The Kennedy Veil started as a quartet composed of Casey Childers (ex-Forktung), Gabe Seeber (Alterbeast, Decrepit Birth, ex-Wretched Dawn), Cody Walker(ex-Skribble) and Shawn Peterson. The ensemble recorded their first album “The Sentence of Their Conqueror” with engineer Josh Williams at Metal Works studios and released a compilation of 8 visceral tracks which quickly grabbed the attention of the west coast. With the release of this album, The Kennedy Veil played shows relentlessly with legendary acts such as Cephalic Carnage, Exhumed, Cattle Decapitation, Macabre, Decrepit Birth, Origin, Divine Heresy and Abysmal Dawn.
In 2011, The Kennedy Veil came in contact with Unique Leader Records and was added to their devastating roster of modern death metal acts for a multi-album deal. With the departure of their vocalist Cody Walker, The Kennedy Veil auditioned dozens of vocalists and stumbled across local front man Taylor Wientjes. With his diverse vocal range and will to decimate the masses, the covenant was sealed.
In 2012, the band went to work on writing the follow up to “The Sentence of Their Conqueror” and prepared 11 dynamic and hostile tracks which would come together to form as the “Trinity of Falsehood” – a doctrine that will enslave the ears of the lawless and govern the damned into a frenzy of panic. “Trinity of Falsehood” is set to be released worldwide on January 21st 2014.

Tapflo pumps - long life design and robustness.
Back in 2004 Tapflo delivered more than thirty diaphragm pumps to a hot dip galvanizing plant in Sweden. At that time this plant was one of the world’s most modern of its kind, with one manual and two fully automated facilities.
It was an explicit demand of the plant’s maintenance manager to use diaphragm pumps from Tapflo: - “ Because I know it works !”
The pumps are used to pump wastewater, acid, lye and flux to various parts of the treatment plant. All pumps are made of polyethylene (PE) with diaphragms in PTFE, a proven solution in the surface treatment industry. They have lived up to the expectations and most of the pumps are still running since they were put into operation more than 14 years ago.

According to The Detroit News
, the Supreme Court has let stand a ruling that Ford
Motor Company is at fault for a 2002 rollover crash involving a 1997 Ford Explorer
and the Dearborn, MI-based automaker must pay $55 million in punitive damages. Benetta Buell-Wilson's Explorer rolled over four-and-a-half times
after she swerved to avoid debris. When the roof collapsed on her neck, it severed her spinal cord and left her paralyzed.
Ford unsuccessfully argued that it shouldn't be punished due to the fact that the Explorer complied with federal safety standards when it was built. Buell-Wilson was originally awarded $369 million in damages, but a pair of California courts cut down the total value of damages to $82.6 million.

However, distributing green space throughout cities, or “land sharing”, may still be necessary to maintain services such as human well-being.

The body hasseveral systems that work together to make it functional. These include the respiratory system, the digestive system, the circulatory system, and the immune system among others. The immune system is a system in the body that is responsible for protecting the body from diseases. When an individual is immune to a particular disease, even if the person is exposed to the factors that cause that disease, the body will be able to fight off the disease before the body even feels it. Hence, the person doesn’t fall ill. Now, imagine a situation where you are immune to every disease. It means you will be able to live a very healthy life without the need to visit hospitals or the inconvenience and pains that come with illnesses.
The immune system entails a complex proteins and cells network that defends the body from infections. One of the major ways that the immune system operates is that it stores the record of every germ, also known as a microbe that it was able to defeat in the past. This way, when the microbe finds its way to your body again, it will quickly recognizethe microbe and destroy it. However, many factors contribute to the effectiveness of your immune system. This article will discuss why it is advisable to protect your immune system during the winter as well as how to protect your immune system.

A disagreement between Presidential staffer Sam George and Joy News Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni over whether government has retrieved all public funds illegally paid to the AGAMS Group in the GYEEDA scandal was escalated to a banter on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show.
Sam George had claimed on Newsfile Saturday, AGAMS group composed of subsidiaries like Rlg, Asongtaba and CraftPro, had paid ‘every dime’ owed the state.
“Every money RLG owed the government of Ghana has been recovered. The only subsidiary of [the AGAMS Group] that is still owing government is Craftspro. But RLG has paid, Asongtaba has cleared its indebtedness and so this is a government that is not just speaking, but is walking its talk.”
Treating his announcement with caution, Manasseh Azure replied on facebook, the staffer may be correct if he was referring to only interest-free loans.
More than 48 hours after Sam George’s claim, Manasseh Azure whose investigations unearthed the scandal at GYEEDA has found out there is more to be collected.
Government has only retrieved some 50 million cedis in loans it illegally paid to AGAMS group but has not collected money paid for work not done or partially done.
“It is in accurate to say they have finished paying everything there is to pay” Manasseh Azure stated on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show Tuesday.
But Sam George insisted his comments have been misunderstood. The presidential staffer had earlier responded to Manasseh Azure’s doubt.

ND Women’s Tennis
Irish look to make strides this fall
Molly Murphy | Wednesday, September 7, 2016
This season, Notre Dame begins its fall practices and invitationals looking to build on last year’s successes.
“We had a really tight match with chances to beat UCLA in the first round of the NCAAs, so I think that’s something we really took a good feeling away from that loss knowing we were right there with UCLA,” Irish head coach Jay Louderback said. “I think that’s something that’s going to really help us as we go into this year.”
Close matches were a theme throughout the previous spring season for the Irish, and that will be a motivating factor for the team as they move ahead, Louderback added.
“Of our 14 conference matches, nine of them were 4-3 either winning or losing, and all the other matches were all 5-2, so every match we played, we were right there with them,” Louderback said. “I think our kids are looking forward to playing some of those teams again this year.”
With these difficult, close losses fresh in the team’s mind, Louderback said he believes it is the group’s work ethic that will set them apart this season.
“I feel like that’s our biggest strength. The kids are working hard not just on the court but in conditioning, and they’re doing everything to be ready for the spring,” Louderback said. “Right now, our main thing is to make sure that we’re physically in shape for the spring. Our main goal is to be healthy and ready and ready to compete when the spring comes along.”
As always with the beginning of a new season, adjustments must be made, and this season is no different with the loss of two senior doubles players from last year’s team, according to Louderback.
“We’re going to probably have all new doubles teams because two of our seniors who graduated were in the doubles lineup, so there’s a good chance of having three new doubles teams,” Louderback said. “So that’s a big thing, us working and seeing what are good pairs to put together and who will compete well together. That’s probably our biggest thing right now — looking for our doubles teams.”
Louderback is optimistic, however, about this year’s team’s ability to pick up slack left over from last year’s seniors, he added.
“I feel like our group of freshmen that have come in have really good doubles skills plus our kids returning,” Louderback said. “All of those players will have a chance to fill in. We should be fine, I feel really good about what I’m going to see tomorrow.”
With players and coaches alike excited about the beginning of fall practice, Louderback said he welcomes the new atmosphere that accompanies each new season.
“It always makes it more enjoyable for me when you have new kids coming in,” Louderback said. “As always, we’ll miss our seniors, but it helps you revive with new kids coming in. They come in and everything’s new to them, and they love everything.”

Child Sponsorship helps children,
families and communities in poverty unlock a brighter future.
Education provides children the opportunity to escape poverty and improve their quality of life. At present 1 in 4 Ugandans do not complete their secondary education.
Sponsorship keeps girls safe from child marriage and premature pregnancies.
Nutritious food is a vital building block for children’s growth and development. Did you know the growing brain of a five-year-old requires 44% of their total energy consumption? Poor diets steal this energy away, but a daily school dinner combats this for sponsored children.
Sponsorship brings knowledge into a deprived household. How? A child can read the back of a medicine bottle, for example.
In case of strong winds, fire or storms, the programme has a fund to support affected families.
Every year thousands of children in Uganda die before their fifth birthday. Your sponsorship helps children gain access to essential healthcare treatment.
CARE FOR HIV AND AIDS
Share Love Africa is currently providing support to children affected by HIV and AIDS through counselling and access to testing.
Dirty water is one of the biggest killers of children under five. Through the Child Sponsorship programme we help communities gain access to clean, safe water and good sanitation.
Your sponsorship can help families to protect their children from sexual and/or commercial exploitation.
Education increases the opportunity for a child to acquire a job. Increased household income can provide support for the next generation of school-aged children in the extended family.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - For 250,000 low-income children in San Diego County, a healthy breakfast and lunch are provided by their schools. In most cases, that stops during the summer, and now more than ever, that's a problem.
"For all too many San Diego children, summertime brings about hunger," says Vince Hall.
Hall is the CEO of Feeding San Diego, and this is where his organization steps in partnering with the state's Pandemic EBT program. This summer, each eligible child receives a one-time payment of $365 for groceries from the State of California. And for a school like Lexington Elementary in El Cajon, this program is a necessity.
"98% of our students are socioeconomically disadvantaged," says Lesley Ezop.
Ezop is the interim principal at Lexington Elementary. It's one of 11 food distribution points that Feeding San Diego partners with to offer children much needed nutrition throughout the summer.
"Just so that kids can have the basics so that they can learn and can function," adds Ezop. "When kids have what they need, they're going to succeed, right?"
But the program doesn't stop there. The children aren't the only ones facing hunger. Feeding San Diego knows if the student needs food assistance, then the entire family needs it. So the organization partners with local schools to provide meals for the whole family.
"If we provide food to youth and not to the adults, that food is just going to be divided, and the effect of our initiative is going to be diminished," says Hall.
Feeding San Diego is there, providing 25,000 meals per week to San Diego County students and their families to ensure that no one goes hungry during this pandemic.
"Until we reach that level of normalcy," says Hall, "Feeding San Diego will be there every day all across San Diego County feeding those families."
When you give to Feeding San Diego, ABC 10News will match donations up to $12,000.00. Donate here.

On the March 27 broadcast of MBC's 'I Live Alone', comedian Jang Do Yeon introduced viewers to her newest family member - a pet hedgehog named Gochu!
The comedian shared, "I've been thinking of adopting a pet hedgehog for about 3-4 years. Hedgehogs sleep a lot, so I think that even when I am out working, I won't have to worry about him. It's been about 9 days since I adopted him. His name is Gochu."
After waking up in the morning, Jang Do Yeon greeted her new pet hedgehog and took him out to try to take a 'walk' together inside the house. The comedian fitted a tiny collar on Gochu and followed him as he roamed the living room - forcing the tall comedian to scrunch down.
Determining that the baby hedgehog was still too young and unfamiliar with his surroundings for a 'walk' with a collar, Jang Do Yeon removed the collar from him. But as soon as the collar was off, the hedgehog disappeared under the sofa!
In the end, Jang Do Yeon had to spent over 40 minutes trying to retrieve Gochu from under the dusty sofa, getting herself stuck between the sofa and the wall several times. Afterward, Jang Do Yeon's mother visited for a mini celebration of her mother's birthday.
Check out some clips from this week's 'I Live Alone' above and below!

Sadly, there aren’t many “perks” associated with my line of work—terrible hours, constant deadlines—I know, “Boo, hoo. Welcome to the real world!” However, every now and again—if you’re a good boy and are in the right place at the right time—nice people will let you drive their cars. OK, who I am trying to kid? It’s likely one of the best jobs this side of being Pamela Anderson’s plastic surgeon.
Last weekend was one of these rare times when it appeared that the heavens had aligned properly. I ventured out to Southern California’s Willow Springs Raceway for an annual historic race weekend which features a 2-Hour Twilight Enduro. I’m not sure what it is, but there is something about an Enduro that I find irresistible. On the one hand, there is something special about endurance racing —perhaps it’s the pace, the teamwork or just the plain challenge of it, but I always find myself drawn to these events like a moth to flame. On the other hand, it might also have something to do with the fact that because they usually require two drivers, there is almost always a driving opportunity for an editor who is down on his luck. With this in mind, I made my way to the track with my racing kit in the back of the car…just in case (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).
As I made my way around the paddock and caught up with old friends, I ever-so-slyly worked the enduro into the conversation, “So, do you need a co-driver for the enduro?” That’s me, Mr. Sub-rosa. Surprisingly, this smooth line wasn’t getting me to far as most of my friends had made co-driving arrangements long in advance. However, my luck was about to change at midday when I was called up to the timing tower to see one of the race organizers. “I’ve arranged for you to co-drive in a 289 FIA Cobra, if you are interested?” the club major domo asked. Like a character out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon, my jaw smacked to the floor and my tongue rolled out far enough to be tripped over. “I woob wove to! Fwwaanks!!,” was my Loony-Tune reply. I don’t entirely remember how I got down from the timing tower, but I’m fairly sure it involved my feet not touching the ground. As I stumbled back through the paddock somewhat in a daze, the significance of the moment finally hit me…I was going to race a Cobra! Visions of Gurney and Miles and Bondurant and Holbert floated in and out of my mind. Like these great drivers of the glory days, I was about to become a Cobra Man!
Soon I met the Cobra’s owner and was given a chance to drive the car around the paddock to get acquainted, seeing as I wouldn’t get a chance to run it before that afternoon’s race. Even after just a few minutes of toodling around the paddock, I was hooked. The car’s seductive, lithe shape belied the ferocious power that was lying in wait under the hood. This was going to be an incredible experience.
As the 6:00 PM starting time approached, I got suited up, grabbed my helmet and made my way out onto the 45-car grid. As friends spotted me in my driving suit they invariably smiled and asked what I was going to be driving, to which I worked up a self-deprecating grin and responded, “The red Cobra.” As one would expect, my good friends were very happy for me, “You bastard!” or “You F—ing git!” Ah, the love of one’s peers.
On the grid, we were slotted into the third row behind a couple of big-block Camaros and a NASCAR stock car, of all things. As I helped the Cobra’s owner get strapped in for the start, he informed me that he would drive the first stint and that I would take the last. He further added that he wasn’t sure if we could win overall, but he felt confident that we could take our class if we kept ahead of the Corvette gridded next to us. I asked him if he wanted me to take it easy, to which he replied, “Well, it’d be nice to win.” I told him I could live with that!
When the green flag fell, my co-driver made a great start and immediately picked up several positions on the front straight, moving us up to 4th position. While it was exciting to see that our car was competitive enough to run at the front of this 45-car field, it was also becoming a little intimidating knowing that the car was probably going to be handed over to me and that, with no previous experience in the car, it was going to be up to me to try and hold our position to the end. While this sudden realization gave me the urge to run off to the “facilities,” I resisted and told myself to remain calm and that I’d rise to the occasion…after all I had big shoes to fill…I was about to become a Cobra Man!
After about 10 minutes of close battling with our Corvette rival, the Corvette made an unscheduled pit stop that resulted in the plastic fantastic pulling behind the wall and retiring. Hot damn! We now had a strangle hold on the class lead and a lot of the pressure would be off of me during my stint. Whew! Now, I could gradually ease into it and really have a chance to enjoy the experience.
For the next 30 minutes the Cobra ran like a freight train, turning quick lap times, lap after lap. Then I noticed an optical illusion of the sort not uncommon in the California desert—as funny as it sounds—it appeared that our car was slowing on the back straight. At first, I was sure it was my eyes playing tricks on me until one car, then two passed it. Even then I might have convinced myself that everything was still OK, were it not for the fact that we were passed by an 850 cc Fiat-Abarth. Considering the Abarth had about as much displacement as two of our four carburetors, the grim reality of the situation settled in and my heart sank. Eventually, my co-driver drove straight back to his trailer, where I caught up with him. “The clutch went,” he said. “I can’t believe it, we’ve never had a clutch go, nevertheless a DNF. Sorry, you didn’t get a chance to drive.” Not to worry, I said, I appreciated the opportunity. But as I headed back to my car to change clothes, I couldn’t help but be disappointed…after all, the opportunity to become a Cobra Man just doesn’t come along every day.


Gotye's Making Mirrors at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, which was part of the Graphic Festival. We had pretty incredible seats in the fourth row with a great view of the stage and screens. The show started with Shaun Tan's Oscar winning animated short film The Lost Thing with a small group of musicians playing a live score.
After the stage was rearranged Gotye and his 10 piece mini-orchestra came out. They were lucky to make it after also getting caught up in the flight delays/cancellations in Melbourne this morning due to the fog. The set started with "Making Mirrors" and then launched into "Eyes Wide Open." Wally played nearly all of Making Mirrors and many of the songs had animations to accompany them. It made it hard to know where to look because you would get absorbed in the animations but also want to watch these songs being created live on stage by the musicians.
"State Of The Art" was my favorite clip of the show, directed and animated by Greg Sharp and Ivan Dixon at Rubber House.
Another great clip was for the song "Bronte," which was directed and animated by Ari Gibson at Mechanical Apple with background art by Jason Pamment.
The biggest reaction of the night was for the current number 1 single in Australia, "Somebody That I Used To Know." As the song reached the verse that is sung by Kimbra, we wondered if she would be there to sing it and she was! There were huge cheers when she walked on stage. The video for this song has become a huge viral hit worldwide.
Besides the songs from Making Mirrors, we also got a couple of classics from Like Drawing Blood: the haunting "Hearts A Mess" and "Learnalilgivinanlovin," which was the last song of the night. This show was amazing, and we are so happy for all the success that Wally is having at the moment. I'm sure the album is going to debut at number 1, and all his Australian shows for the tour have sold out in record time.

in The Bible
Barack Obama is a wicked ruler. He has abused the authority of his office domestically and has used his authority to commit war crimes internationally. He is a usurper and should not only be impeached but should also be arrested and put on trial for his crimes. The Bible calls for justice for the poor and oppressed yet the Christian leaders in the America have been very tepid in specifically calling out the President. This week Gary Fox makes the case regarding how Barack Obama does exemplify the qualifications of a wicked ruler and why he should be impeached.

On this January 10, 2016 edition of Team Liberty Radio, we will be looking at the subject of the rumblings that Obama is maneuvering behind the scenes for a third term for President of the United States. This plan has been in the works since 2013 and we will be discussing how this will effect us if it does happen. Join us live at 6pm for your Weekly Dose Of Truth.
Leon Panetta argued that for all of Barack Obama’s strengths, he is missing an essential ingredient of leadership. He lacks “fire,” wrote Obama’s former CIA director and Pentagon chief. “The president relies on the logic of a law professor rather than the passion of a leader.”Obama has proved Panetta right again and again during his presidency, but never more dangerously so than with his shoulder-shrug approach to ISIS. Obama called it a “J.V. team” before it started beheading Americans. He said it was “contained” before it attacked Paris. Now he’s calling it “a bunch of killers with good social media.”Ron Fournier
President Obama is tired of all the critics who say his strategy to destroy Islamic State isn't working."The only thing that they're doing is talking as if they're tough," he complained last week. "If folks want to pop off and have opinions about what they think they would do, [they should] present a specific plan."What the rest of us need, Obama counseled, is more patience. "It's going to take time".Obama was right on one count: ?LATimes
Obama: Economic self-destruction would save terrorists the trouble; Pope Francis calls Christians & Muslims "brothers"; WaPo smears Pro-Life community with blame for Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shootings; Obama caves on key elements of Iran Nuclear Capitulation; Still no governmant shutdown likely over Planned Parenthood funding; Ben Carson blows his socon cred on Colorado Springs shooting; Hillary Clinton & the power of vaginas; Obama: Destroying the global economy an economic and security imperative; Obama military aid to Ukraine was - and is - garbage & scrap; Ted Cruz: GOP is not the “condom police”; Obama: Mass shootings just don’t happen outside the United States; and Raum Emanuel fires Chicago police chief to placate the black mob.
Let's recap some of the things that the president has done during his tenure.
Captured Osama bin Laden
Killed Muammar Ghadafi
Opened up relations with Cuba
On the next edition of the Ray Starmann Show, Ray discusses President Obama's State of the Union speech, which could also be titled, the State of Denial speech.
"We have to understand that an attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths, the mosque outside of Baltimore, received threats twice in the past year. When any religious group is targeted, we all have a responsibility to speak up.Think of your own church or synagogue or temple, and a mosque like this will be very familiar,Our television shows should have some Muslim characters that are unrelated to national security" President Obama

In sports, the African-American experience is constant rollercoaster. Does racism have a huge role to play from a marketing and professional opportunity standpoint?
Hurt’s House radio show host Bryan Carr, and Washington, DC Sports Fanatic Destin Banks join the Konscious Vibe panel to discuss African-Americans in sports and the legacy of President Obama.
The panel discusses whether rapid technological changes, economic woes, and high-profile violence in the media are causing Americans to unravel at the seams.
The panel discusses racism, decision making, or skill sets play the most important role on the level of success for African-Americans. President Obama’s legacy from a historical and social perspective will also be a topic of discussion.
Tonight, I talk about Donald Trump's recent statements about banning Muslims from coming to America. His followers love the red meat and keep asking for more. Some say he's going to destroy the Party. Others think he'll run 3rd Party. He's the front runner, Ted Cruz is closing in, and others like Ben Carson and Marco Rubio are still in the hunt. Today I got to experience the vitriol of the fanatical Trump supporter. I'll talk about their tactics and how they try to attack anyone who speaks ill of their leader. Plus, we have hi-lights from Obama's Speech about guns and terrorists. I'll share some thoughts in this as well. Call in and voice your opinion.
