There was a time in this country when our elected leaders actually cared about protecting the innocent. But today, they don’t. Instead, they misuse and abuse the power of their offices to protect criminals. Because public safety isn’t their goal. Tearing down freedom and disarming you and me is all they care about. In their warped world, criminals are coddled, not punished.
And so violent felons terrorize our communities and prey on the innocent, thanks to a sinister revolving-door “justice” scheme that is purposefully designed to keep them on the streets and out of jail. You can see it everywhere you look!
Far-left political elites—from the President of the United States on down to governors, mayors and radical district attorneys—they fuel a raging fire of violence, murder and crime in our communities. And then those same elites blame you, me, our fellow NRA members and our constitutional freedom for the carnage they create. Their answer to violent crime is to render the innocent helpless against the deadly criminals they enable.
That’s why political hacks in federal agencies pump out propaganda designed to convince more and more Americans that lawful gun ownership, and the fundamental human right to self-defense, is a “public-health problem,” a disease that’s spread by you, me and all patriotic Americans who exercise their God-given right to protect themselves and their loved ones.
And what do they say is the cure for this make-believe illness? Gun registration. Gun bans. Ammunition bans. Not to mention the outright shaming and vicious persecution of law-abiding gun owners. Think about that.
Biden and his ilk go out of their way to make excuses for dangerous, violent and murderous criminals and to keep them on the streets. But when it comes to peaceful, hard-working, law-abiding Americans? We’re mocked, slandered and vilified every time Biden finds his way to a microphone.
My friends, in all our years fighting together, we’ve never witnessed this level of hatred aimed squarely at the principles and values that you and I hold dear. The same principles and values that made America the freest and most prosperous nation on earth.
Well, I’m happy to report to you today that your NRA isn’t only holding the line for freedom, we’re advancing it! Right now, 26 states have constitutional-carry laws on the books. And we won’t stop fighting until all 50 states recognize what you and I know to be true: Our right to carry a firearm is guaranteed by the Second Amendment, and no law-abiding citizen should have to ask for special government permission to defend him or herself or their loved ones.
Just last summer, NRA scored the biggest victory for our gun rights in a decade when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that law-abiding Americans have the right to carry firearms for self-defense outside our homes. And more recently, when Joe Biden’s ATF tried to force millions of law-abiding gun owners to register, alter or surrender their lawfully owned stabilizing pistol braces—it was the NRA that sounded the alarm and is leading the fight to stop them.
My friends—American freedom, once admired, revered, respected and emulated worldwide—is now under attack from within. Next year’s national election will not decide the future of our freedom for the next four years. It will decide whether our freedom, as we know it, survives at all.
Right now, we have a president who views each and every one of us as his enemy for the simple reason that we protect the fundamental, natural rights found in the Second Amendment–-and he wants to strip those rights away from us.
Right now, we have a president who said that law-abiding gun owners who own semi-automatic firearms are sick people. And that owning them has no social redeeming value.
Right now, we have a president who wants to reinstate Bill Clinton’s sweeping, crushing gun ban. Right now, we have a president who wants to ban all standard-capacity magazines and force everyone who owns them to either register them with the federal government or turn them in.
Right now, we have a president who wants to roll out a red carpet for trial lawyers to sue American gunmakers out of existence. And right now, the only thing stopping Joe Biden from completely gutting our freedom is a handful of votes in Congress.
From now until Election Day, you’re going to hear from pollsters and so-called experts that this group over here, or that group over there, is the key to this winning this election. One day they’ll say it’s women voters. The next day it’s men. The day after that it’s young voters or retirees, or this religion or that race.
But let me tell you something, and if you take away only one thought, I hope it’s this: If every NRA member does his or her part today, tomorrow and every day leading up to Nov. 5 next year, we can take back our country and our freedom! We can preserve our Second Amendment rights! We can rekindle a passion for freedom in the hearts of all Americans!
And we can do it all by kicking Joe Biden out of office and out to pasture!


Earlier this week we reported about a new bill being presented to the Georgia house to legalize guns on college campuses. Today the Georgia House passed House Bill 859 on a 113-59 vote but this doesn’t mean guns are legal on college campuses yet. With Monday’s House passage, HB 859 now goes to the state Senate for consideration.
Some of the Democrats said the bill would allow people to use weapons with “no instruction, no training, no supervision.” “We’re putting (students) in volatile situations with alcohol and hormones.”
On the contrary you have State Representative Rick Jasperse from Jasper, Georgia who took charge of this bill saying, “It’s a real world solution to a real world problem,” Jasperse said. “In today’s world, it’s a must.”
According to AJC:
HB 859 would allow anyone 21 or older with a weapons license to carry a gun anywhere on a public college or university campus, except for inside dormitories, fraternities and sorority houses, and at athletic events. It also would mandate that those weapons be concealed — something proponents say make it safer — since Georgia requires gun owners to apply for “concealed carry” permits that require fingerprinting and background checks.
Georgia’s Board of Regents have always expressed their disinterest involving guns on college and university campuses. Usually, they’re successful with blocking attempts to legalize guns on campuses. The most recent attempt came in 2014 when the state House voted to legalize campus carry as part of a broader effort dubbed the “Guns Everywhere Bill.”
The attempt to legalize guns on campuses has been an ongoing process. Here’s a video from GPB in 2014 about the “Guns Everywhere Bill”.

In a letter to the Office of Government Ethics and the Department of Justice on Tuesday, a watchdog group demanded a probe into White House press secretary Jen Psaki’s apparent conflict of interest.
Early in April, reports surfaced that the press secretary planned to leave her present role and host a show on MSNBC’s Peacock streaming platform in the coming weeks. Protect the Public’s Trust, a group of retired and former government employees, said her discussions with MSNBC from the podium raise major conflict of interest concerns.
Conflicts of interest are not new concerns when looking for new work, and the federal government has rigorous laws and regulations limiting how employees behave themselves. Willfully participating in any matter in which a company in which an employee is negotiating or has an arrangement for future employment has a financial interest is a criminal violation punishable by five years in jail, according to the letter.
NEW: Jen Psaki's use of her official position to disparage Fox News, the competitor of her prospective future employer MSNBC, warrants an investigation by the Office of Government Ethics and the Department of Justice, a watchdog group said Tuesday.https://t.co/JXKT25JEy1— Andrew Kerr (@AndrewKerrNC) April 19, 2022
“Ms. Psaki’s statements regarding Fox News appear to be a misuse of her official position that calls for further investigation,” the letter continued. “Fox News is a direct competitor of MSNBC and CNN, two companies with whom Ms. Psaki is or has been reportedly negotiating for future employment. Accordingly, Ms. Psaki’s statements regarding Fox News may be regarded as the use of her official positions for the private gain of Fox News’ competitors, such as MSNBC, with whom she is affiliated in her nongovernmental capacity.”
According to sources who spoke to Puck News in March, the press secretary and her agent, Jay Sures, had private meals with CNN and MSNBC executives, who, along with NBC and CBS News, had expressed interest in potentially hiring her.
According to the letter, once a government official, such as Psaki, begins negotiating future employment with a non-government organization, she must tell a supervising ethics authority. They are also barred from using their existing government position for personal advantage, according to the legislation.
During an April 1 press briefing, CBS News White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe and Weekend Today co-chief White House correspondent Kristen Welker both grilled Psaki on the ethical requirements of negotiating with a news network from the podium. She stated that she takes ethics very seriously and that she had spoken with White House lawyers about it.

text: To understand the molecular basis of sugarcane-smut interaction, it is important to identify sugarcane genes that respond to the pathogen attack. High-throughput tag-sequencing (tag-seq) analysis by Solexa technology was performed on sugarcane infected with Sporisorium scitaminea, which should have massively increased the amount of data available for transcriptome profile analysis. After mapping to sugarcane EST databases in NCBI, we obtained 2015 differentially expressed genes, of which 1125 were upregulated and 890 downregulated by infection. Gene ontology (GO) analysis revealed that the differentially expressed genes involve in many cellular processes. Pathway analysis revealed that metabolic pathways and ribosome function are significantly affected, where upregulation of expression dominates over downregulation. Differential expression of three candidate genes involved in MAP kinase signaling pathway, ScBAK1 (GenBank Accession number: KC857629), ScMapkk (GenBank Accession number: KC857627), and ScGloI (GenBank Accession number: KC857628), was confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis concluded that the expression of these genes were all up-regulated after the infection of S. scitaminea and may play a role in pathogen response in sugarcane. The present study provides insights into the molecular mechanism of sugarcane defense to S. scitaminea infection, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of sugarcane-smut interaction.

Players like Chipper Jones don’t come around very often. Jones is entering his 19th full season of an extremely productive MLB career — all of which has been spent in Atlanta. Just a couple months away from his 40th birthday, Chipper’s production has dropped off a bit over the past couple seasons. He was, however, one of the most consistent players in baseball from 1995 to 2007. What’s even more impressive is that he did it all in the heart of the steroid era and kept his name clean. That doesn’t mean the thought never crossed his mind.
“I mean, definitely,” Chipper said Monday when asked if he ever considered using performance-enhancing drugs. “You see peers doing it. You see contemporaries on other teams doing it and putting up (big) numbers. But at that point in my career, while I didn’t have kids yet, and I thought, I don’t want to jeopardize their lives (with the backlash) one day.”

The popular drama Good Doctor has aired its final episode on 8 October 2013. 1st Year Resident Park Shi On, who was an autistic savant, manged to overcome the prejudice of people telling him that certain things are out of his limits. The drama ended with Park Shi On entering the peak of not only his professional life but also his love life.
It is little known that when KBS was first writing the script for Good Doctor, it was in the same precarious situation as Park Shi On. There was no broadcasting station was willing to take on a mini series written by a relatively unknown and non established writer, actors who has the skill but no star power as lead actors and characters that constantly create trouble, Many were doubtful that this drama could ever succeed.
This worry was like a joke. From the start of its broadcast on 5th August 2013 to the final episode, Good Doctor was always first in viewership ratings. Although there was not even one scene of a passionate kiss between the main couple, the viewership ratings nonetheless continued to increase steadily. Just as Park Shi On managed to overcome the prejudice he faced, Good Doctor overcame all the difficulties it faced and proved that itself to be an experience worth remembering.
We take a look at several themes in the drama below.
1. Television Drama: The script is the life of the drama
In the extremely competitive drama production market, Good Doctor enjoyed an early streak of good luck when it managed to secure the Monday-Tuesday drama slot with KBS2. This drama had no star writer and no actor who could guarantee that he or she would be able to solely carry the entire drama and raise its quality. Good Doctor was an anti-stereotype piece of work that didn’t contain any of the usual elements of a hit drama.
What was especially of concern was the lifeline of dramas – the script. No one trusted writer Park Jae Bum to be able to handle the lifeline. Although he had written all three season of OCM’s God’s Quiz and had a lot of experience in writing for medical dramas, this was only his first attempt at writing for a 20 episodes mini series drama whichw as to be broadcast on the big stations. It was only natural that people were worried.
Despite the various concerns, the team behind Good Doctor had said confidently before the drama’s broadcast: “Good Doctor is a very excellent project. It will prove that our country doesn’t necessarily need to rely only on famous writers and actors to be able to produce a good drama. Good Doctor’s success reinforced the point that before a drama can succeed, a good and solid script is a condition precedent.
2. Regardless of what is said, success is also achieved through talented actors
As mentioned above, Korea’s dramas rely heavily upon A List male actors to carry the drama through. For an actor to be considered by the PD as a “Production Actor”, he had to be able to guarantee a basic level of viewership ratings and also had to have international marketability. In the early stages when Good Doctor was first casting actors, there were many discussions on using a “Production Actor” for the role of Park Shi On. However, these discussions came to naught.
Eventually, Joo Won was casted for the Role of Park Shi On. Joo Won had previously acted in several KBS2 dramas such as Baker King Kim Tak Gu, Ojakyo Brothers and noir drama Bridal Mask. Joo Won managed to bring to life each of his characters and his acting skills won wide recognition. However, for a lead role which even the writer, PD and actors felt was difficult to portray, many were of the opinion that Joo Won did not yet have the delicate acting skills needed for the role. Fortunately, this worry was swept away following the first broadcast of Good Doctor. Joo Won’s expression, posture, manner of walking and speaking were all perfectly mimicking the mannerisms the autistic Park Shi On should have, shocking everyone with his extraordinary acting skills. Joo Won once again proved that the most important qualification an actor should possess is acting skills.
A PD has said: “As one of the recent rising stars in their 20s, Joo Won has once again bested himself through Good Doctor.”
3. A drama without the usual cliche storyline can also be loved by the audience
In KBS2’s Gag Concert’s King of Drama segment, Park Sung Gwang parodies a production company CEO demanding for cliche storylines to be added to the plot when viewership ratings are dropping. Adding in scenes that are ridiculous and exciting will allow viewership ratings to rise. Although the parody is funny, many in the industry have said that the parody has accurately pointed out an unlaughable fact that exists in the industry.
The cliche storylines include dramas that always have a 2nd generation chaebol, birth secrets, villains who always torture the kind hearted lead character and many other exaggerated scenes built in to excite emotions. Even if the writing reaches the state where viewer are scolding the plot for turning out to be so cliche, they can’t help but keep on watching. Cliche dramas take up a majority of the drama market in Korea. On the presence of the large number of cliched dramas, an industry expert said: “It’s because the viewers like it so much. If you really want these dramas to vanish, all you have to do is to not watch it.”
Amongst the many dramas produced each year, Good Doctor which contained no cliche storyline managed to prove that a daram’s quality can affect viewership ratings. Good Doctor has thus been appraised as a “Kind Drama”. Good doctor’s success reflects the fact that Korea’s drama viewers preference for dramas is also changing. We hope that Good Doctor will be able to perform a butterfly effect and start the end of cliched dramas.
4. Medical Dramas will never be out of vogue
There is a saying in dramaland that “Medical dramas will never be dead”, which is proof of how much Koreans love this topic. This is evident in the success of dramas such as General Hospital, White Tower, Surgeon Bong Dal Hee, Golden Time and Brain. Good Doctor is no exception, gaining first place in viewership ratings for all 20 episodes aired.
Further, Good Doctor opened a new arena for medical dramas. As the first drama to build a framework aroun pediatric surgeons, an autistic main character, healing patients and adding a mix of, it has found success with the viewers. Good Doctor has managed to break the limits of a typical medical drama and is a boost to Korea’s medical dramas which are currently on the decline.
After Good Doctor, MBC’s new drama Medical Top Team will be the next medical drama to air. The first broadcast of Medical Top Team will be on 9 October. Will this drama be able to continue the Good Doctor “Medical dramas will never be dead” legend?
Following the end of Good Doctor, the drama that will air in its timeslot on 14 October is Marry Him If You Dare/Future’s Choice which co stars Yoon Eun Hye, Lee Dong Gun and Jung Yonghwa.

Too Young For Anything Serious
This is an issue that I recently thought about after a friend of mines broke up with her boyfriend. I asked her why she did it and she told me "well, we are too young for anything serious".I asked her did he do anything wrong and the only thing she could say was that he wanted to be too serious and they are too young(Both of them are 23). Some of you have been told this by someone you care about, some of you have said this to people. You could be in a relationship with someone you think is perfect, it is only natural to want to take the next step. But just when you put your guard down they will hit you in the head with the cliche saying "We are too young for anything serious". Just like that you can feel the walls caving in on you as you realize what you thought you had was nothing.The worst thing about the cliche is that people have said it so much that the masses believe it wholeheartedly so they say the words effortlessly and cling to them like gospel. The theory that you are "too young" for anything serious is something I can't subscribe to. In my humble opinion there is no such thing as being too young, only too late, not sure, or not the right one. The sad thing is the people you love don't have the heart to tell you this even when they know this in their heart.

Local court launches judicial mentorship program to promote diversity on the bench
The Ventura County Superior Court and two other nearby judicial districts have launched a mentoring program aimed at creating a more diverse pool of applicants to the bench.
The collaboration is part of statewide effort supported by Gov. Gavin Newsom, as well as prior elected officials, to ensure that the state's judges and commissioners reflect its rich, diverse population, said Ventura County Superior Court Judge Manuel Covarrubias.
"This program has been launched as an effort to incorporate this within the structure and provide a more coordinated effort around the state to encourage those individuals who are interested in seeking a judicial career to apply if they are qualified," Covarrubias said.
More:Gov. Gavin Newsom signs law to strip badges from bad officers in California
In Ventura County, such mentoring programs have existed in the past. The new effort seeks to build on that work. Covarrubias and judges from the Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo county courts held a virtual information session about the program on Sept. 21. About 40 judges and lawyers attended and have expressed interest in becoming a mentor or seeking mentorship, Covarrubias said.
The attendance wasn't exactly what the judges from the tri-county team had hoped for. But outreach plans are continuing, Covarrubias said, with program coordinators seeking out connections with local bar associations.
The program is not a vetting process for potential judges, who are either appointed or elected, he said. It is meant to help young attorneys or those seeking the next step in their careers to dispel myths about the application process. Common misconceptions include needing certain trial experience or having the right political connections, Covarrubias said.
Health-care vaccine mandate hits: County hospitals say staffing levels will survive
The effort was designed to be collaborative across the three courts to avoid ethical concerns. An attorney who regularly appears in court in Ventura County, for example, has a mentor from one of the other courts, Covarrubias said.
In light of the program's launch, The Star requested a racial and gender breakdown of the 31 judges and commissioners on the bench in Ventura County.
The majority, 22, identify as men, and the other nine as women. In terms of race, white judicial officers stood at 25. Two identify as Hispanic/Latino, three stated they were Asian and one judicial officer identified as both Asian and Hispanic/Latino, according to data from the court.

Oregon parents want more teen driving limits
Who knew that Oregon parents were so strict with their teen drivers?
A new poll from Seattle-based PEMCO Insurance shows that Oregon parents don’t think the state’s graduated license laws for teens go far enough. Some 58 percent of parents say they set further restrictions than Oregon’s minimum requirements. Another 52 percent believe penalties should be even tougher for teen drivers who violate the law.
Oregon has graduated licensing laws that restrict 16- and 17-year-old drivers from using mobile devices of any kind when they’re behind the wheel. The state also sets a driving curfew for teens and limits how many passengers they can transport.
New drivers also need a minimum of 50 hours of supervised driving time.
PEMCO, which expanded its insurance lines to Portland last summer, said half of the parents it surveyed limit the distances their kids can drive and put limits on driving in bad weather. About the same number say the state should make violations of the teen driving laws a primary, as opposed to a secondary, offense.
The Oregon Department of Transportation estimates that the crash rate for drivers aged 20 or younger is twice that of the population as a whole.

An estimated 1.6 million accidents occur in the workplace every year.
The new level one qualification has been created to benefit those who are starting a new job and is designed to slot seamlessly into induction programmes.
A key consideration in the design of the new qualification for the CIEH has been simplicity and their aim with this particular qualification was to ensure the entire workforce could achieve a basic level of understanding of health and safety.
This new qualification can also be applied in schools and can fit well into the curriculum.
With the call last week for health and safety training to become part of school life from MP Michael Clapham, MP for Barnsley West and Penistone and chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Occupational Safety and Health the introduction is very timely.
With over 15,000 young people being injured in the workplace in the past five years, there is a real need to educate students at school or at entry level to the workplace


OPEN LETTER FROM A FLORIDIAN TO FLORIDA MAYORS:
“My concern about Climate Change and Sea level rise”
By: Maria Mercedes Hernandez
Climate change is a pronounced environmental challenge that threatens us all equally, so I consider it of great importance, not only to read your open letter sent to Senator Marco Rubio dated January 21, 2016, but also to express my comments. In this letter, you expressed your concerned about Climate Change and Sea Level rise in South Florida and you call Senator Marco Rubio to acknowledge the problem and articulate a Climate action plan. As a Floridian, I share your concerned and I support your vision: I believe urgent actions have to be taken in order to mitigate the effects of Climate Change to protect the future of South Florida.
I agree with you, the next president of the United States must acknowledge the reality and urgency of climate change. Not only to propose solutions, but to project the US in a leading position on the new low carbon global economy of the 21st century. However, 2016 is a Presidential Election year, which means interest groups are constantly looking for and using any and all weaknesses to disqualify candidates. My concern, then, is that you are using an incredibly important issue as a political wedge – seeking to divide, rather than unite. Climate Change can’t afford to wait for a new President, the time is now; the solution is in your hands as community leaders to create awareness and also in the desire of each of his residents to provide solutions.
Combating climate change must be more than just a political buzzword; it is a global issue that requires an aggressive campaign to inform the public about the potential devastating consequences. There is no point having a Climate Action plan in our cities, or a policy of low carbon or participate in the COP21 meeting and sign a global treaty to keep global temperatures levels below 2° Celsius, if we are not first educating why such steps are necessary. The risk associated with energy waste, the terrible consequences of lack of recycling, the need to conserve water and the urgency about reducing our carbon footprint. The issue of climate change goes beyond a political issue; it is a problem that lies in the lack of awareness in our communities, schools and our own homes.
Allow me to take a moment to introduce myself, my name is Maria Mercedes Hernandez; my experience as a disaster inspector in NJ during the aftermath of Sandy awakened in me the interest to understand and find solutions to the problems of buildings destruction caused by severe weather events. At the same time to recognized the importance of creating awareness and educating homeowners about sustainable and resilient construction to mitigate the effects of climate change. This urgency to find solutions made me get my certification as a professional in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED AP ID + C) which allows me to understand problems related to the standard construction and the real and hidden value of efficient buildings.
Consider the following: 72% of buildings in the United States have been built inefficiently, without taking into account the relationship between energy use and environmental impact. 40% of total energy consumption in the US is consumed by residential and commercial buildings, which produces a lot of greenhouse gases (main contributor for climate change and in turn the rise in sea levels). As certified general contractor in Florida and LEED AP I’ve found lack of information in our communities, on the importance of implementation of energy efficiency, conservation or fortification in the properties to be a direct cause to inaction. The lack of information on programs that help its implementation such as the PACE program, among others, continues to be dismissed. This issue represents many challenges, but also a great opportunity for the State of Florida in their fight to mitigate climate change.
Humbly, I asked all of you to continue to encourage Senator Rubio & others running for President of the United States about the urgency of Climate Change, but beyond that I think it is necessary and proper for all of you Mayors to push the issue at a local level. Through information we can achieve greatness. Start the conversation about a PACE program in your city; create educational forums in libraries about property retrofit and sustainable construction as a solution to climate change, also, inform about tax credit, incentives, and financing available for implementation. Encourage citizens to support Floridians for Solar Choice; demand an end to fracking in the Everglades. Become certified as a STAR community, to lead in sustainability. Let’s start from the ground up with the people.
I congratulate some cities Mayors, who have taken this challenge of Climate Change as priority, but there are still other cities that have been left behind without seeing the need for urgency. The future of our state will be at risk until all the cities in Florida, support a Climate action plan and informed its residents about it.
It is my wish to see the State of Florida leading as the first state in solar energy nationwide with more buildings and schools certified LEED, with the highest recycling rate in the nation, as a state with the lowest carbon footprint and better quality of life. A leader in sustainability is not due to government policy but by the desire and the participation of each of its inhabitants to assume the challenge implementing solutions for a better life.

So I have a A1502 Late 2013 and Early 2015 with me at the moment.
If I unplug the battery they won’t power on without a 85 Watt charger? Is this normal?
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Be the love. Rise above any situation you encounter that tempts you to give away your power. Detach emotionally in order to see the bigger picture. Your pain was never as personal as it feels. It’s time to release it.
None of us can truly move forward without processing our pain and integrating it into our light. The shadow is as much a part of you as the light is, but at a cellular, soul level you are neither light nor shadow. Your divine essence is the awareness that light and shadow even exist.
Sit with that knowledge for a while and let it permeate.
There are issues of power and control playing out in our personal lives, as well as the collective. There is a need for you to find personal control and freedom among constricting mindsets. You’re not obligated to carry around the same mindset forever, and you’re not obligated to take other people’s mindset personal by having no boundaries.
You will do best when you remember life is not a race or competition. Right now you’re being asked to trust Spirit has a plan and to move slowly. If you are feeling uneasy and mistrusting of the world around you now is the time to go within and connect to your higher self. We tend to seek safety at all costs, but even our safety is temporary and subject to change.
Now isn’t the time for any of us to play it small. Yes, our moves should be calculated, but we shouldn’t shy away from being seen. You are worthy. I am worthy. We are all worthy. Each of us has something we can express to the whole that brings it closer together. We need all voices on deck.
Right now if we are honest not all of us are treated equally or worthy. It is going to take every one of us to stand up together and say enough. To demand that every single life, from every single background, from every country on this earth be seen as worthy, equal, and enough.
Now is a great time to start something new. Whatever you have had in mind it’s time to lay the groundwork and bring it to life. Write that book. Reach out to those clients. Whatever you’re most passionate about that would help other people it’s time to embrace it fully and step into your calling. Yes, you have a calling. We all do and insecurity keeps us from heeding it.
You don’t have to go it alone. It’s also a great time for creative collaborations. Sort out who in your life is a soul connection and who is not. If there is any deception around you clear it. Cut people off without apology. Understand they are not deceptive because you deserve that, but also that you can’t change them. We need more people ready to integrate and help others do the same. This isn’t the time for you to be a lone wolf.
When other people question your past or intentions don’t take that personal either. You are allowed to become a new person every second of every day. Your past does not define you unless you allow it. None of us are our authentic selves for the first half of our lives. Not even the ones talking shit about you.
Authenticity is a practice. It’s something we develop with time and intention. We must unlearn patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that were taught to us, in order to discover what we actually believe, how we actually want to conduct ourselves, and how to love unconditionally with healthy boundaries.
Never apologize that one hand is open to receive, if your other is constantly open to giving. Going forward we are to be only involved with relationships that are reciprocal. Maybe you give money, and the other person gives time, but the idea is you are both giving and receiving. Your encounters should provide you with something fulfilling or it’s time to cut them off.
Unconditional love says, “I see you. I hear you. However, your behavior is not acceptable to me, so I have to set you free for now.” It’s in recognizing that other people’s behavior isn’t about you. It’s about them not being able to shake the patterns, beliefs, and behaviors they were taught. It’s in understanding you can’t shake those things for them.
We are all being asked to make some difficult choices going forward. To open and expand our hearts in a new way. This is to say, we don’t keep opening it to people who will never fill us up. Instead, we learn to trust ourselves and expand into unions that have purpose and intention. Unions that have something valuable to add to the world around them.
Right now on the personal level and the collective everything done in darkness is going to be coming to the light. Prepare yourselves for this. Understand that whatever other people are doing that hurts you they are only doing because they themselves are hurting. Celebrate the ones who are ready to grow with you, and release the rest.
No matter what is happening it’s crucial we all do our best to remain expectant and optimistic about the future. There is going to be more understanding coming in about where your ambition should lie, and how to make those ambitions reality. Pay attention to the signs. They could come in repeating numbers, song lyrics, or something someone else says.
Today I ask you to tune in to the portal of your heart. To incorporate true devotion to a higher calling. Meditate, journal, start a new spiritual practice. You cannot hear the answers that are coming to you if you’re not tuned into the frequency from which they come. We are here to grow as souls, and if you’re not growing you’re wasting your own time.
We are all being called right now to break the chains of ancestral patterns, to heal, and to rewrite the future. It is time to release our personal trauma, and as we do that the collective automatically benefits from our higher vibration. We carry emotional trauma from seven generations back, trauma that isn’t even ours to carry.
When we don’t know another way we keep passing the same trauma down the line. Here is where it gets critical and bit repetitive. You MUST stop trying to heal other people, especially if you yourself are not healed. You simply cannot save them. Learn that and live that.
However, your own healing can inspire others around you to heal. Of course, it won’t inspire them all, and the sad part of healing is the people we end up leaving behind. Try to remember the lessons you learned while having these people in your life. The experiences, no matter how painful, taught you some beautiful lessons and none of it was a waste of time.
It is your own intuition that allows you to see beyond the mundane, the logical, and the analytical. It’s your sixth sense that you should be paying the most attention to. The healing, the path forward, none of it may seem logical, but you’re being asked to follow it where you are led.
There is no time for second-guessing anymore. You already know deep down the next step you must take. It’s time to take it. Like I said in the channeled meditation message, rise above every situation. You have the power to see beneath the surface of things and get a more accurate perception.
While I am saying you should collaborate with others I don’t mean just anyone. We must collaborate with people who appreciate independence as much as the interdependence. Our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings create our reality. All I am suggesting is you choose those things more carefully.
The world is at rock bottom. When we surrender and accept the truths, even the hard, difficult ones, we are granted the keys to freedom. We cannot keep going the same direction we have been. The old ways of doing things, personally and collectively, must be released and done away with. It’s time to do things in a new, fair, more balanced way.
If you are fighting against the right side of history you will keep running into brick walls. If you refuse to heed your calling you will keep wondering why life is not working out for you. What we want is often not what we need, and the stubbornness of clinging to what isn’t for you must be put behind you.
Let us all step into our power. Let us not abuse it, give it away, or blame others when we feel we lack it. We never lack it. Sometimes we just choose not to own it. Your empowerment is a gift that comes through you, not from you. You may have lived a lifetime of watching your ancestors feel powerless, and so you picked that up as an identity.
The beautiful thing about identity is that you can leave behind what you no longer resonate with and re-create yourself at any time.

You might want to switch out the extruder gear as well. Switching the stock one out and calibrating my e-steps helped a lot. This is the one I got.

I replaced the extruder gear on my i3 v2 with these. Helped with extrusion consistency a ton.

How hard/easy is it to replace?
Also, how do you even 'calibrate' the extruder?

Take the fan off the extruder, and then take the 2 screws out of of the stepper motor holding the pully. There is a tiny set screw on the gear that losens. The gear will come off with a little help and you can slide the new one on. The other link about e-steps is what you do next and your set.

I added that as well, bought it from another source than Amazon and they were slow to send the confirmation email. I got it and the hot bed.
I want to start from zero and try everything as it is and upgrade for there. I'm more "The journey" than "The destination" sort. Learning is my goal with this, and finally getting me to work on my 3D modeling skills and complete the work I've been putting off for ages.
I'm with you. I've done so much to this printer and it still surprises me how much more there is to go with it.

This is a wonderfull recording af the Pasadena Roof Orchestra at its very best. One highpoint is quickly followed by another. Some of my favoutites are "Tom Thumb's Drums" where John Sutton demonstrates to the rest of us drummers how simply, yet brilliant it CAN be done. This number is followed by my absolute favourite "Egyptian Ella" where James Langton not only masters the art of 30's crooning perfectly but also exels in "Egyptian Dance" together with Simon Townley in a hillarious dance routine.
If you don't know what PRO is all about this would be a good starting point if you know them allready you'll love this DVD.

If you are interested in making some extra money on the internet then I have two suggestions for you that can help you to achieve this goal. Both of these ideas have personally made me more money in the past so I know that they both work and neither one is a scam. You do have to put in some work, regardless of which route you choose to go, but that is going to be true of any sustainable income stream you find in life. Money flows to where value is being produced.
The first idea to make some easy money online is to write articles in a freelance environment for other people who are looking to pay for new content. This is always happening online and it is a huge market in itself. People who have published websites want or need new content for it, so they pay other people to write an article for them. If you write such an article you can make a few extra dollars by doing so. Not too exciting, unless you calculate your monthly earnings based on working hard at this for, say, 2 hours every single day. When you look at it like that, then you may be looking at over 500 dollars in earnings for putting in 2 hours of effort every day. Not bad if you can force yourself to actually work hard for those 2 hours and earn the money.
Now the other idea if you want to make money online is gong to take a bit more time to build up. With this approach, you would be writing articles and placing them on your own website, and then doing enough promotion to earn free traffic to that website over and over again. This method is more powerful in that the earnings you make later on become largely passive in nature. Once the money is flowing in it will tend to keep on coming, without you having to do additional work at that point.

"He explained to me why I should f--- my costar so that we could have onscreen chemistry."
Sharon Stone revealed several #MeToo moments she had to endure during her Hollywood career for her upcoming memoir, "The Beauty of Living Twice."
In an excerpt obtained by Vanity Fair, the actress detailed one alleged incident when an unnamed producer brought her into his office and discussed the idea of her sleeping with her male co-star to enhance the film they were working on.
"He explained to me why I should f--- my costar so that we could have onscreen chemistry," Stone wrote. "Why, in his day, he made love to Ava Gardner onscreen and it was so sensational! Now just the creepy thought of him in the same room with Ava Gardner gave me pause. Then I realized that she also had to put up with him and pretend that he was in any way interesting."
"You guys insisted on this actor when he couldn't get one whole scene out in the test.… Now you think if I f--- him, he will become a fine actor?" she continued. "Nobody's that good in bed. I felt they could have just hired a costar with talent, someone who could deliver a scene and remember his lines. I also felt they could f--- him themselves and leave me out of it. It was my job to act and I said so."
While she didn't take the producer's advice, she was offered the same suggestion from more big shots in the industry as well.
"I've had other producers on other films just come to my trailer and ask, 'So, are you going to f--- him, or aren't you? … You know it would go better if you did.' I take my time and explain that I am like the nice girl they grew up with, and get them to recall that girl's name. This leaves us all with a little bit of our dignity."
Stone also claimed an unnamed director -- whom she referred to as a "#MeToo candidate" -- wouldn't film her because she refused to "sit in his lap and take direction."
"Yes, this was a multimillion-dollar studio film, of which I was the star, and the studio didn't say or do anything."
As for the role that made her a huge star, Stone said she was finally cast in "Basic Instinct" after her manager stole the script, begged director Paul Verhoeven to screen test her for months and 12 other actresses declined.
She also repeated her claim that she was unaware the camera had captured her without underwear for the infamous "vagina-shot" when her character Catherine Tramell uncrosses her legs while being interrogated by police.

|Breakdown of the total, in red the overcharge|
The Association of Cubans in Toronto “Juan Gualberto Gómez” has received several complaints of fellow Cuban compatriots, travelling via Air Canada Vacations to the island, who have been overcharged $16 for a tourist visa, which Cuban nationals do not need to enter Cuba,
|Tourist visa Cubans have to buy unnecessarily|
We have contacted Air Canada Vacations repeatedly about this unlawful treatment asking them for a rationale on why this is happening and they have not been able (or willing) to provide one. They have admitted that in fact, Cuban nationals are not required to purchase a tourist visa when entering their country, but because the “cost for the tourist card (visa) is built into our fare construction”, then they just have to charge it, with no right to a refund. They continue with the flimsy argument that “the bulk of our clientele are Canadians, and unfortunately there is no way to isolate a client’s nationality when booking a reservation”. In other words: you are a minority and we just can’t bother.
Here are some questions for Air Canada Vacations:
How is this possible, that regardless the obvious violation, Air Canada Vacations continues to ignore our concern?
What has happened with all that money collected by overcharging Cuban nationals?
Why can’t a refund be issued?


.22 Long Rifle
Table of Contents
.22 Long Rifle (5.6x15mmR) is undoubtedly the most popular calibre to rid rabbits and hares in Australia and has been for a very long time. A rimfire cartridge coming from the USA where it was originally developed in 1887. Why is it the most common sporting ammo in the world today? It’s cheap, you can get it anywhere and has blow all recoil. Ideal for newcomers to the game.
Definition of the .22 Long Rifle
Developed in the United States of America the .22 Long Rifle cartridge, often known as the .22 LR or just the 22. A rimfire cartridge that is found in numerous rifles, handguns and more.
The .22 LR projectile or bullet is “heeled”, which means it is the same diameter as the case but has a thinner “heel” part that fits inside the case.
The .22 Long Rifle - Use cases
The cartridge was and still is, the everyday “go to” round in Australia for the European Rabbit. Everyone could shoot it with its almost non-existent recoil and it was dirt cheap. It was what I learnt to shoot with and typically every bunny within 100m was fair game.
With the right firearm the range could be extended to easily twice that range but ran out of stopping power rapidly. The round velocity drops at a massive rate once over 130-150m.
Overall, however, it has been used for foxes, rabbits, pigeons, snakes and more. While I would not recommend taking down a fox unless it is within 50m and ensured of a head shot. Used wisely, the .22 LR is a great cartridge for small game.
Likewise, the ammo is suited to plinking, target comps and an ideal novice round. I was happy to use the round out to 200m with my BRNO (now CZ) on targets, but others are putting holes in paper at over 500m.
A rimfire cartridge, the .22 Long Rifle originally had a 29 grain (1.88g) projectile which, in time, was modified to 40 grain (2.6g) (solid).
The muzzle velocity was measured at 320 m/s (1,048 fps) until 1930 when Remington upped the powder load. This was called a High Velocity loading and it increased the muzzle velocity to 396 m/s (1300 fps).
The variety of ammunition available now is broad, from bullets weights of 20 grains (1.3g) to 60 grains (3.9g). With differing powder loads the muzzle velocity can vary from 175 m/s (575 fps) to 533 m/s (1750 fps).
The projectile diameter is .223 inches (5.6642 mm) with a straight casing of .226 inches (5.74mm).
The overall length varies of course with the various projectiles but is usually around 1 inch (25.4mm).
The .22 Long Rifle was not the first self-contained metallic (copper originally) cartridge, but it is one of the oldest and the most plentiful sporting ammunition in use today.
The .22 Long cartridge and the 40-grain (2.6 g) bullet from the .22 Extra Long were combined by American firearms manufacturer J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company in 1887 to create the cartridge, which had its origins in the USA from the Flobert Bulleted Breech Cap (.22 BB) of 1845 through the .22 Smith & Wesson (renamed .22 Short after the introduction of the LR) cartridge of 1857.
The bullet was 29 grains and the case loaded with five grains of black powder.
Rifles that chamber .22 Long Rifle - a selection
As we said earlier in the article, everybody and their dog seems to make a 22LR. Here is but a few.
Pros and cons
- Versatile cartridge that is suitable for short to medium-range target shooting as well as small game hunting.
- Very mild recoil, making it a great selection for novice shooters.
- The .22LR is a very accurate calibre from short to medium distances with the right gear.
- There is no better selection of factory ammunition available in most gun shops (or sporting shops) across the country. Hand loading is simply not a thing with the low cost of mass produced ammo.
- Quiet, less chance of bugging the neighbors.
- Light, both rifle and ammo.
- It is a fun round to shoot!
- Although the .22 Long Rifle can carry a reasonable distance, the projectile mass lacks stopping power. Furthermore, the round velocity can decay rapidly after 130-150m. There can be a temptation to hunt game above the cartridges paygrade. If you want to go for game that’s bigger than your average bunny, then consider upping the ante with a better suited cartridge. Luke has put a guide here Basic Cartridge Selection.
- Due to the the fact that the 22LR is a rimfire can mean more misfires than it’s more centered counterparts. This is due to rimfire priming as the cartridge primer is packed into the rim and can fail to prime the round.
- They tend to be dirty as the round is softer and leaves the barrel fouled and needs frequent cleaning.
- The ammunition being made everywhere can lead to issues of quality. This can result in inconsistent performance in the field.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
The 22 Long Rifle with a standard off shelf at your local gun shop is good for small game out to about 130 – 150 meters (140 – 160 yards). Bench rest or plinking the average seems to be about 400 meters (440 yards).
Certainly the .22LR is reliable given a decent manufacturer. The only question mark that may arise is rimfire priming which may cause the odd misfire.
The .22 rifle is generally good for a humane kill of small game out to about 130 – 150 meters (140 – 160 yards). After that range the large drop in velocity robs it of stopping power.
A .22 Long Rifle bullet can travel 1800 meters or 1.8 km (2000 yards or 1.13 miles). Always be aware of your range template and keep the shot below ridgelines etc.

Hugh Hefner, don’t let it be so! No more nudes in Playboy???
It was announced this week after much thought and research that Playboy Magazine will no longer feature nudes. According to an article from the New York Times, “Playboy’s circulation has dropped from 5.6 million in 1975 to about 800,000 now, according to the Alliance for Audited Media.”
Thus, the days of stealing your dad’s or older brother’s Playboy is no longer a culture.
But do people under 30 know what Playboy is or was?
Scott Flanders, the company’s chief executive agrees that the Internet is a big deal for nudes.
“You’re now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free. And so it’s just passé at this juncture,” Flanders says.
Since 1953, the magazine has taken sex out of the bedroom and into our daily lives. But, selling sex does not mean sexy naked women, it’s the ideas. It’s very clear with Snapchat, Instagram and even Facebook we know what people “like” and in some ways more then you think. It’s time to revolutionize the concept of sexy and it’s the new direction, Editor in Chief (still) Hugh Hefner is going, “less is more.”
It may contradict what our society demands via social media, but what if Playboy is going back to its roots with actual articles, that’s what people always did with the magazine. That would make people drop their mouths instead. Imagine people reading articles the way people read Vanity Fair?
With Playboy’s new magazine coming 2016, people can see Playboy for once with its clothes on and learn that the word sex is just as sexy as the act.

Visiting Writer Intensive
Writing the Personal Sex Essay
with Katherine Standefer
How do we make meaning from our sexual experiences? What do our personal stories have to offer the world, and what is the best way to share them? In this bold, smart, and introspective 10-hour weekend intensive, writers will work towards a personal essay about an aspect of their sexual experience, learning to build strong connective tissue between individual sexual stories and the larger questions about sex that our culture is grappling with.
- We'll consider the sex culture we live in, exploring how it affects the way we write (or don't write) sex
- We'll observe how our sexual experiences fit larger social themes, in the process unlocking a wider range of sexual stories to tell
- We'll use published writing to examine the way reflection and essaying can help build out narratives about sex
- We'll think about sex as a problem that drives narrative tension, as well as how sex that's not a problem operates on the page
- We'll play with how authority works in our own writing about sex
- We'll look at how narrative distance changes the way we write about sex, writing and re-writing an experience
- We'll consider what it looks like to publish sexual work, including facing your mother, re-naming your partners, and seeing a very particular version of yourself head off into the world
On both days, we'll spend lots of time generating new material together.
