During his long military career as an officer of the Army Ordnance Corps, General Vincent served with distinction in assignments of broad responsibility during World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and through all the intervening years. His technical experience in artillery design, proving ground administration, and rocket and missile development was unusual. No other officer in the long and memorable history of Army Ordnance served in such field with greater vigor or had more widespread responsibility.
As a young Field Artillery officer, he served during World War I at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and Fort Sill, Oklahoma, followed by duty in the Philippines. The Field Artillery of those days offered little opportunity for an honor scholar in engineering, so Lieutenant Vincent transferred to the Ordnance Corps in July 1920. After a brief indoctrination, he served at Frankford Arsenal, Philadelphia, and later as the Adjutant, Raritan Arsenal, New Jersey. In 1924, he was assigned to the important post of Ordnance Officer for the Camp Perry, Ohio, National Matches.
In 1925, the General launched on his advanced 2-year technical course at the Ordnance School at Watertown Arsenal, then under the famous Colonel Tracy Dickson. The greater part of the curriculum was conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, supplemented by practical work at Watertown. He remained at this arsenal for 4 more years as officer in charge of the Cold Working Division.
In 1931, General Vincent entered the Army Industrial College, Washington, D.C. After graduation in June 1932, he started his first assignment in the Office, Chief of Ordnance, being assigned to the Artillery Division of the Manufacturing Service. During this assignment, he directed the activity that pioneered in America the development of the process for strengthening cannon by radial expansion under hydraulic pressure. This process greatly improved the overall strength and endurance of the cannon tubes. After 3 years of concern over procurement of artillery with the meager funds available, the General was transferred to the Proof Division at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Following this, he returned to the Office of the Chief of Ordnance for a tour as chief of the Small Arms and Small Arms Ammunition Division, and then went to the Hawaiian Department as Assistant Ordnance Officer.
The gathering clouds of war abruptly curtailed the General's duty in Hawaii. He was recalled to the United States in December 1940 and given the task of building and commanding the Erie Proving Ground at Lacarne, Ohio, where practically all World War II artillery and tank armament received final acceptance tests. With Erie in full-scale operation the General was transferred back to the Office of the Chief of Ordnance in Washington in August 1942 for another long tour. He was successful as the Executive Assistant to the Chief of Field Service, Assistant Chief of the Production Service Division, and the Chief of Redistribution and Salvage. Thus, during World War II he carried a tremendous workload in connection with the heavy output of armament required by our armies throughout the world.
In February 1946, the General was appointed production manager of the Springfield Armory, followed by a detail in Europe as Special Assistant to the Chief of Ordnance, European Command, and later as Commander of the Ordnance Depot, Griesheim, Germany. December 1948 found him back in proving-ground activities, this time as Deputy Commander of Aberdeen. In June 1951 he was promoted to Brigadier General and given additional duty as Commanding General of the Ordnance Training Command just as rapid increases in trained Ordnance officers were demanded to meet the expanding requirements of the Korean War.
In June 1952, General Vincent was appointed Commanding General of Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama. Here, he was in the thick of development of the Army's first generation of Ordnance rockets and guided missiles, and saw the first two systems into the deployment phase--the NIKE AJAX antiaircraft missile in March 1954 and the HONEST JOHN rocket in June 1954. The missile systems then under development were the CORPORAL, LACROSSE, REDSTONE, HAWK, and NIKE HERCULES. In addition to directing the development of Army rockets and guided missiles, General Vincent oversaw the production of chemical artillery ammunition for the U.S. Armed Forces at the height of the Korean War.
From Redstone Arsenal, General Vincent retired on 31 August 1954, after 37 years of devoted commissioned service. In keeping with his vast interest in and knowledge of ordnance and his lifelong attachment to the American Ordnance Association, he became staff consultant for the Technical Divisions and Committees of the Association at national headquarters in November 1954.
In his brief 2 years as guide and mentor for the widespread American Ordnance Association Technical Divisions and Committees, General Vincent's friendly and tactful approach to the problems within the armed services continued to cement the close relationship of industry and the services.

If you are currently married with significant assets, you and your spouse have a very limited time to save a lot of money, because after that it’s very likely that Congress will change the rules now in existence and make dying much tougher on your loved ones in terms of federal estate taxes. That is, of course, unless you take this moment . . . right . . . now . . . to do some very creative planning that will lock in what’s called spousal portability.
What is Spousal Portability?
Portability is the ability to pass one’s unused estate tax exemption to his or her spouse upon death. It works like this:
The current estate tax exemption (at least until 2013) is $5 million. That means that if you die with less than $5 million, you pay no estate taxes. Five million is a pretty high number, so this exemption is very favorable. It gets even better. Since each spouse in a marriage has a $5 million exemption, the total exemption available to the couple is $10 million. If one spouse dies and has an estate valued at only $3 million, the unused exemption ($5 million – $3 million = $2 million) “ports” to the surviving spouse. He or she can now leave an estate of up to $7 million without incurring any estate taxes.
Portability Hasn’t Always Been The Rule . . . And It Could Very Easily Go Away
The benefits of estate tax exemption portability are obvious. In short, it means that even with little or no estate tax planning, a couple can very likely get away without paying any federal estate taxes (though without planning, your heirs will have to go through a lengthy and expensive probate process). All of these benefits will likely disappear in 2013, when it looks like the estate tax exemption will be reduced to $1 million and portability could very well disappear.
That means you have two choices if you want to take advantage of current laws: Do some planning that permanently takes advantage of the current $5 million portable exemption before it disappears, or plan for you and your spouse to die before 2013 (not the best option!).
There are a number of estate planning tools that allow for married couples to take advantage of the current estate tax laws without dying, and that’s our preferred method of operation. Of course, if you’re below the threshold of $5 million (or $10 million for married couples), you still need an estate plan that will allow your loved ones to avoid lengthy and expensive probate court proceedings.
A little bit of planning can go a very long way, and there has never been a better time to put a plan in place. It could literally be the difference between being taxed on millions of dollars and letting those dollars pass to your loved ones 100% tax free.
Understanding What You Need
That’s what we do best. Our estate plans are customized to meet your needs. Whether that means setting up a complicated network of trusts to avoid taxes or a more simplified plan designed to avoid probate, we have you covered from A to Z. And we want to get to know you. We share a wonderful sense of community with our clients, and it’s our goal to help you plan today so that nobody has to worry tomorrow.
Call our office today and schedule a FREE Family Wealth Planning Session™. Just mention this article by name, and we will waive our customary $750 fee. You literally have nothing to lose . . . except for all that money you could potentially spend on estate taxes if you don’t call us!

According to the statement made by ASELSAN, DÜFAS, developed in line with the needs of the Turkish Naval Forces Command under the leadership of the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB), enables the detection of underwater threats such as submarines and torpedoes from long distances.
DÜFAS adds strength to the Turkish Navy’s power in the Blue Homeland with its depth-changeable active and passive sonar capabilities and superior technology.
The first and only towed active sonar system designed and produced domestically, DÜFAS broadcasts acoustic signals through active sonar components.
DÜFAS, which creates an underwater tactical picture by collecting the reflections of the transmitted signal from the targets with passive sonar, enables the detection and tracking of underwater threats at long range and with high accuracy.
Enemy submarines are no longer a threat to the Turkish navy
Drawing attention with its sonar performance modeling capability, DÜFAS stands out with its architecture suitable for bistatic/multi-static operation. With the technical features of DÜFAS, enemy submarines are no longer a threat to the Turkish navy.
In addition to detecting threats such as submarines, the system developed by ASELSAN also detects threats such as torpedoes by listening to ambient noise in passive sonar mode. DÜFAS also eliminates the risk by activating countermeasure equipment when it detects a torpedo threat.
In his post on X, Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün, President of the Presidency of Defence Industries, said: “On the anniversary of the March 18 Çanakkale Victory, a tribute to our nation and the spirit of our glorious ancestors who said ‘Çanakkale is invincible’. DÜFAS, an important product of ASELSAN engineering, was developed to detect threats under the sea. With its 360-degree all-round scanning capability, DÜFAS, which can effectively detect submarines and torpedoes, will add strength to the power of our glorious navy.”

MEMORY OF MY BROTHER HENRY WARING LATANE THE HERO OF MY CHILDHOOD AND THE
INSPIRATION OF MY YOUTH A STRONG AND NOBLE LIFE CUT SHORT IN A CAREER FULL OF EARLY ACHIEVEMENT
AND OF BRILLIANT PROMISE
THE FORCIBLE COLLECTION OF Public Debts
'HIS, the last volume of narrative text in The
American Nation, takes up the story where it is left off by Professor Dewey's National Problems (Vol. XXIV.), at the point where, after the election of 1896, the country began to take an absorbing interest in the insurrection in Cuba. The main field of the volume is therefore the Spanish War of 1898 and its consequences on the spirit and policy of the American people; but it also includes the great administrative and economic questions which have pressed for a solution.
The first four chapters are wholly devoted to the preliminaries of intervention in Cuba, the war with Spain and the following Peace of Paris; with a fifth chapter on the Philippine insurrection. The perplexing questions as to the status of the new dependencies is treated in chapter viii., (which includes Porto Rico), and in chapter ix. on the progress of government in the Philippines. Another phase of the outcome of the Spanish War is the history of the Republic of Cuba (chapter x.). On the other side of the world the possession of the Philippines brought the United States into new relations with the Orient, and into the Chinese Boxer movement of 1900, described in chapter vi. The latest phases of the silver agitation are the currency standard bill of 1900 described in chapter vii., and the election of 1904 in chapter xiii. Five other questions of foreign policy: the Alaskan Boundary, Panama Canal, International Arbitration, the Monroe Doctrine, and the collection of public debts in Latin America, are the subjects of chapters xi.-xii., and xiv.-xvi. The volume closes with a study of the immigration problem (chapter xvii.), and of the economic problems of the time, particularly the regulation of corporations (chapter xviii.)
The special importance of this volume in the series is that it brings almost to the date of publication, and in many cases to a conclusion, questions which have arisen within the fields of other volumes. It rounds out the political and particularly the diplomatic history of the last half-century. Professor Latané's treatment is objective, and as far removed from prejudgment as is possible on questions so instant and so absorbing. The special service of the volume is to bring out clearly how the Spanish War and its results set the nation in a strong position among the world's great powers, and gave to the American people a new set of interests and purposes.
HE difficulties of writing contemporary history
can be fully appreciated only by those who have essayed the task. In employing a method, which, while progressive, is topical rather than strictly chronological, the first problem is the selection of those topics which best illustrate the progress and tendency of events and the exclusion of those that would unnecessarily burden or obscure the narrative. Many interesting and some important subjects have been omitted for lack of space. Another problem is that of proportion—the relative emphasis which each subject should receive. As the title of this volume would indicate, special attention has been given to questions of international and colonial policy, and the space devoted to internal affairs has been correspondingly reduced. A third and still more difficult problem is the treatment of the personal element, which enters as a prime factor into the history of every age. It is impossible to pass anything approximating final judgment on living men, for the real motives underlying their acts are rarely, if ever, fully revealed during their

What Are the Functions of Glycoproteins?
Glycoproteins are a form of protein that contain sugar residue. Glycoproteins are usually found at the surface of cells and assist with important processes in the body.
Glycoproteins are a form of protein that contains sugar residue. The different characteristics of sugar may change so that it attaches itself to a characteristic of the protein. Glycoproteins depend on sugar to function properly. Sugar helps them reach their destination in the organism of the cell. They play an important role in the body at the cell level. Glycoproteins are usually found at the surface of cells. Here, they work as membrane proteins sometimes facilitating some of the body’s important processes like reproduction. There are three different types of glycoproteins that are determined differentiated through their synthesis mechanism and structure. These glycoproteins are either N-linked, O-linked or non-enzymatic glycoproteins.
Understanding How Glycoproteins Work in the Body Glycoproteins aid in the development of tissue function when they adhere to the cells found in the body. Glycoproteins are found in connective tissues, cell walls and blood plasma. Depending on where they are located in the body, they will display structural differences. Glycoproteins play a major role in reproduction since they are located on the surface of sperm. Glycoproteins change the plasma membrane permeability making it easier for the attraction of eggs to the sperm cells.
N-linked Glycoproteins These types of glycoproteins are modified and synthesized inside the membrane organelles of a cell. The protein part of the glycoprotein is created on the surface by other amino acids. This creates a linear polymer chain of amino acids called a polypeptide. At least 20 different types of amino acids are used to create polypeptides. The order of the amino acids in the polypeptide chain is crucial to its function. This order is called the amino acid sequence. The import of this is found when one considers that if the amino acids were ordered in a different sequence, they would not have the same function.
Some of these N-linked glycoproteins contain carbohydrates. Carbohydrates do not attach themselves to polypeptides one at a time. Instead, carbohydrates that contain many different types of sugar residues attach to the translated protein. The carbohydrates that are inside the glycoprotein are modified by enzymes that also takes away some of the sugars. It then attaches other sugars so that it forms new glycoproteins.
O-linked Glycoproteins These types of glycoproteins are created by adding sugar to the hydroxyl chain and polypeptides. They are different from the N-linked glycoproteins because they are made by the addition of sugar one type at a time. O-Linked glycoproteins often become part of an extracellular matrix after it is secreted by the cell. This extracellular matrix surrounds the O-linked glycoproteins.
Non-enzymatic Glycoproteins This creates glycoproteins when sugar is added to polypeptides in a process called glycosylation. The concentration of sugar and time control glycosylation. People, who have higher amounts of circulating glucose, experience higher levels of glycosylation. Additionally, older proteins also have a higher incidence of glycosylation. This is the primary basis of the glycosylated hemoglobin diagnostic test that is used for checking on the blood sugar levels for diabetics. It is also used for their long-term maintenance and monitoring.

There are many different materials for bearings, and many of these bearing materials function more effectively in certain applications than others. Take a minute to learn about the many different types of bearing materials.
This is the most common bearing material for precision ball bearings, roller bearings, and tapered roller bearings. This still has a high level of carbon within it and contains about 1.5% chromium.
These rolling bearings have a high resistance to cracking and a hard surface, which helps them to resist wear and tear from rolling.
Use this type of steel to create precision miniature bearings. Process it with additional melting steps. The resulting bearing is extremely quiet. Most often, the hardening process is done in a controlled atmosphere furnace. The resulting product can operate at temperatures up to 120°C.
SAE 52100 is by far the best general-purpose steel for making bearings. It hardens to a very high level and has a long life when actually in use. However, the low chromium level of 1.5%means these bearings are not very resistant to corrosion.
This type of bearing has higher carbon content. The lower carbon content results in a softer material, however, it makes the bearings magnetic.
These bearings are slightly noisier than others, but they are able to operate at high temperatures of up to 250°C.
This material has smaller carbides in order to minimize noise, while also offering the same corrosion resistance as 440C. This is one of the most materials for bearings that have wide applications, and it can bear similar loads to that of chrome steel.
Bearing components made from this type of stainless steel have a high resistance to corrosion and are non-magnetic because they are made with low amounts of carbon. However, this material cannot be hardened, so it only works with low loads and low speeds.

text: How resilient we are has a significant impact on our ability to be happy. Life is in perfect balance of times of challenge and support, good and bad, helpful and unhelpful. We can’t stop bad things and bad people from happening, but we can change how we respond to them. You need to think less about what other people think about you, and more about what you think of you. The better you feel about you and your abilities, the less bothered you are about what others think of you. This is the first step in building resilience fitness. Being resilient is being able to change our perception of something if we cannot change it. It is also accepting and tolerating a situation. It builds over time and with experience, it builds every time we choose to respond instead of react. It builds when get better at accepting what happens no matter what it is. Resilience is a mental muscle, it needs to be worked and exercised to grow stronger.

How rich is Jonathan Kemp?
Jonathan Kemp Net Worth:
Jonathan Kemp Net Worth:Johnny Kemp (born August 2, 1959) is a Bahamian singer. He began singing in nightclubs in the Bahamas at 13. He moved to New York in 1979 with the band "Kinky Fox." His self-titled debut album came out in 1986 and he scored a minor hit with "Just Another Lover." True success came the following year, however, with the release of his Secrets of Flying album, which contained a pair of Top 5 hits on the US Billboard R&B chart: "Dancin' with Myself" and "Just Got Paid," the latter hitting #1. "Just Got Paid" also cracked the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1988, and went to top the Hot Dance Music/Club Play. It provided his only UK Singles Chart entry, peaking at #68 for one week in August 1988. His only other Hot 100 entry was "Birthday Suit," a tune from the soundtrack to the movie, Sing which climbed to #36 in 1989.Kemp appeared on the 2007 DVD release by Keith Sweat entitled Sweat Hotel Live. This DVD featured live performances by Sweat in a sort of reunion with other R&B/new jack swing era pioneers of the late 1980s, including Teddy Riley. Kemp appeared on the final track, an "all-star finale" rendition of "Just Got Paid," originally recorded at a February 2006 concert in Atlanta, Georgia. Incidentally, Sweat had initially passed on the instrumental track that would eventually become "Just Got Paid," when it was first offered to him in the mid-1980s. Kemp listened to it, added his own lyrics to the melody, and "Just Got Paid" was born.Kemp was the featured performer (singing "Just Got Paid") at the NJS4E event in New York on September 8, 2007. As the name implied, the show celebrated and commemorated 20 years of new jack swing, and took place at Ashford & Simpson's Sugar Bar.Kemp is married and the father of two sons.

MACtion is back.
Ohio will travel to Kent State Saturday, marking its first Mid-American Conference game of the season. The game is an important one and will likely set Ohio’s tone for the rest of MAC play.
It will also show how well Ohio can fare against a strong Football Bowl Subdivision offense. Kent State has averaged 27 points per game this season against some of the country’s best football teams.
Here is everything to know about Kent State before Saturday:
Sean Lewis’ fifth season as Kent State’s head coach has been nothing short of an uphill climb. Lewis has coached the team through two games against Top 10 opponents, as well as current No. 15 Washington. Even though the three games all ended in losses for Kent State, there were a lot of positives. It scored 20 points at Washington, and put up 22 points against the No. 1 team in the country, Georgia.
When Lewis was hired by Kent State in 2017, he was the youngest head coach in the FBS at age 31. Despite his young age, Lewis has had a good amount of coaching experience. Kent State is his first head coaching job, but the institution is happy with the work Lewis has done for the team so far. In 2021, he signed a contract extension with Kent State through 2025.
Collin Schlee has started in all four of Kent State’s games, with his most notable being against Long Island. In that game he completed 10 passes for 199 yards, averaging almost 20 yards per pass. Schlee also ran for 75 yards on four attempts.
Schlee’s passing statistics didn’t look all that different in Week 4 against Georgia. He completed 14-21 passes for 174 yards and one touchdown. However, his run game was far less successful against the Bulldogs, as he only ran for two yards on seven attempts.
Freshman Devin Kargman has also had some time at the quarterback position this season. He’s played in three of Kent State’s games, and even had a touchdown pass against Long Island.
Schlee has split his targets pretty evenly between redshirt juniors Dante Cephas and redshirt sophomore Devontez Walker. Cephas has 17 catches for 255 yards, while Walker has 15 for 246.
Schlee looks for Walker when throwing the ball deep downfield. His longest pass to Walker this season was for 56 yards. Walker also leads the team with three touchdown catches.
Stopping the Golden Flashes run game is going to be key for the Bobcats Saturday. The Golden Flashes utilize their run game more than almost anything else. They have 169 rushing attempts so far this season, the most in the MAC. The Golden Flashes also lead the MAC in rushing yards with 757.
Cooper Marquez has 270 of those yards and has been handed the ball 72 times. He also leads the team in rushing touchdowns with four.
Despite playing arguably the most difficult nonconference schedule in the MAC, Kent State’s defense is ranked third in the conference in scoring, only behind Miami and Toledo. However, that might not be saying much. Every team in the MAC has allowed over 100 points throughout their first four games.
If Ohio wants to win at Kent State, its offense is going to have to step up again like it did Saturday against Fordham. Despite its defense allowing 52 points, Ohio was still able to come out with a win thanks to Kurtis Rourke’s 537 passing yards and ability to not waste time in the beginning of the game.
Rourke and the Bobcats moved downfield quickly for back-to-back touchdowns on their first two drives. Those 14 points were their lifeline for the rest of the game as the Rams kept eating away at the Bobcats' defense.
Ohio’s defense is going to have to make some stops or its going to have another high scoring game.

- Faith: Unknown
- Career: Actor
- Birthday: April 07, 1964
- Accomplishments: Golden Globe Winner, Academy Award Winner
- Fun Faith Fact!: His parents didn’t baptize him as a child because they wanted him to make his own religious decisions.
Russell Ira Crowe is a musician, actor, director, and singer. He was born on April 7, 1964 in New Zealand and raised in Australia. His family relocated to Sydney when he was four. Most of his childhood was spent on film and tv sets since his parents were entertainment industry caterers. When he was six years old, Crowe landed the part of an orphan on the TV show “Spy Force”. That was the first of his many tv show appearances in his child actor career.
In 1978, his family moved back to New Zealand. Around that time, Crowe began his singing career as “Rus le Roc”. He released the single “I Want to Be Like Marlon Brando” in 1980. Next, he and his friend started the group “Roman Antix” which turned into “30 Odd Foot of Grunts” which Crowe was the guitarist, singer, and songwriter for.
In the early 1980’s, Crowe moved back to Australia to start an acting career. In 1983, he scored a part in the musical project “Grease”. He also got a role in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” production tour from 1986 to 1988.Crowe isn’t a part of any particular religion, but he has expressed his thoughts on different religions. His parents didn’t baptize him as a child because they wanted him to make his own religious decisions.
The actor has stated that he’s not a Scientologist, however he looked into the religion a few times over the years. He also revealed that he received advice from a celebrity friend.
“From a young kid, I was quite interested in religion,” the award-winning actor explained in an interview with “People” magazine. “When I met Tom Cruise when he was married to [fellow Aussie] Nicole [Kidman], we were spending a bit of time together so I thought I’d find out a little bit about what he was into. I never ended up putting my two cents down on anybody’s table. I’ve never graced [Scientology’s] doorway.”

Question - I'm a parent from Michigan... when should I seek a program for troubled teens?
As your teen is working on their identity they are progressing through a normal stage of adolescene. Naturally, they want to be their friends. Parents should not be alarmed with the amount of time their child wants to spend with their friends, especially if the peer group they are involved with is a solid group of kids. If your child is spending all their free time with friends, but still getting good grades, holding a job, and is respectful - then most likely there is no problem. However, peer groups can change. Good kids can become "bad kids". Meaning, the peer group can shift and change all at once, together. Together, they can start drinking, drugging, and participate in other negative activities (without notice). The entire group can change all at once. If this is the case with your child the answer is to remove him or her from the group of peers. One way to do this effectively is to look for a program for troubled teens. The chances are that your child will not leave this negative peer group on their own accord. The entire group can sink together. Our recommendation to parents is to act early, before the damage involves his or her education.
Your troubled teen may be seeking independence (which is normal), but are they ready to make decisions on their own? If your child was given the choice to go to school or to quit, what decision would he or she make? Would their decision be based on what is best for his or her future? Or, would it be based on "what I feel like doing today"? If your child hates accountability, is allergic to responsibility, and only wants to have fun (chillin with friends) and party, then they can't handle life on life's terms. Meaning, they are not able to make decisions on their own. If your child is rebelling against your authority, and defiant toward other adult authority, then you have a tiger by the tail. If your child is using drugs, hanging out with a bad peer group, staying out all night (or sneaking out), skipping school, etc... then our recommendation is to look into a program for troubled teens.
Why does a teen need a treatment program from Michigan?
Factors like sex, race, family status, and social-economic status can be foundational "causes" that lead teens into trouble. However, there are some professionals that believe that the number one reason teens end up needing a treatment program is due to "emotional immaturity" combined with a culture of "entitlement". Meaning, emotional immaturity is the foundational reason, and all the problems arise out of the poor personal decisions and choices made by an immature teen. Our recommendation to parents is to look at programs for troubled teens as early intervention options - before the entitlement problems cause permanent damage.

Welcome to the MD Glider for DAZ Studio. Make a render of the absolute freedom of gliding. The Glider is a vehicle prop for all your figures. It includes a lot of exciting features that will make the setting of the scene extremely easy. First of all, there are basic poses for your Genesis 3 and Genesis 8, Males and Females piloting the vehicle. The large canopy of the glider gives a very good view to your figure inside it. In addition to the traditional pose files, you can pose any figure in the scene by right clicking on the glider and choose the menu option to move the figure you want directly in the cockpit. The Cockpit and the Instruments come in three resolutions. 2K for your far renders, 4K for more precision and 8K for the best quality if your render has a scene inside the cockpit. The outer body of the glider can be decorated with any of the 7 nose Layered Image Presets (LIEs), 8 rudder LIEs, 14 tail LIEs, and 4 wings LIEs. That gives 5.400 combinations for your glider decoration (including the possibility not to have a decal on some part of the body), without calculating the registration number addition. There are 4 ready-LIEs for the registration number, but you can make your own registration number LIEs with the included script. Just type the code you want and the script will make the necessary maps, save them to the disk, and it will make a Layered Image Preset (LIE) for the body of the glider and 3 LIEs for the instrument panel (2K, 4K and 8K resolution). You can set the color of the LIEs with the included scripts but the easiest way is to right click on the glider in the scene, or to right click on its label in the scene tab, and choose to change the color of any decal (LIE) you want from the pop up menu. All instruments in the panel are rigged and you can turn any indicator you want to the desired position. There are also moving parts for all the other parts of the glider and a lot of morphs for the seat harness. You can also find the glider cable that needed for the takeoffs as a prop and as a wearable preset.
Happy landings uhh… renders

A year on from record-breaking lows in the UK manufacturing sector – the worst results since the Make UK and BDO Manufacturing Outlook began – all the key performance indicators are firmly pointing in the right direction.
Confidence is at its highest level since the metric was introduced in 2014, at a UK average of 7.2 points; growth has continued, despite still being below pre-pandemic levels; output growth is forecast to outpace the economy overall, while investment and employment sentiment is also up.
The sector is not without its challenges – let’s be very clear. But the resilience the market has shown to adjust and rebuild in the face of real adversity has resulted in performance outpacing expectation for the first half of the year – fuelled by orders and demand.
While UK manufacturing as a whole is extremely positive, when you drill down into the regions the picture is varied. On the one hand, you have the West Midlands which is mirroring national trends. Output, employment, and investment are all up, with confidence levels matching the UK average. On the other, the East Midlands has seen a slight fall in business confidence since the first quarter, despite remaining well within positive territory. The fall in confidence in the East Midlands is reflective of the performance of the industry in the region which reported slightly worse, but still strong, results compared to Q1. The only metric still negative for the East Midlands is employment, at -7% balance for Q2.
The East Midlands is the only UK region to show a decrease across the board. But, with soaring confidence elsewhere, what are the reasons for the disparity between the East and West?
One of the main reasons is due to the difference in sectorial composition between the two regions – the East Midlands’ largest sub-sector is food and drink, while the West Midlands relies heavily on transport equipment. In the case of output growth, the latest statistics indicate that growth in the West Midlands outpaced that of the East Midlands in Q2 2021 due to the automotive sector making a rapid comeback, after a significant loss in output over 2020. Food and drink did not suffer to the same degree, in terms of lost output in 2020 so, as such, its ‘rubber-band’ effect on the recovery side is less pronounced.
Despite renewed optimism overall, manufacturing still faces ongoing and emerging challenges around supply chain delays, shortages in key materials, rising inflation and logistical costs. The sector’s ability to adjust, rebuild and demonstrate resilience will hold them in good stead as they navigate the next six to 12 months. But while many businesses have overcome the initial hurdles placed in front of them by Trade Cooperation Agreement (TCA) – resulting in a 40% drop in exports to the EU in January – challenges will remain. So too will the additional pressures of UK and overseas COVID regulations and the continued disruption being felt in the supply chain.
As the market tries to circumnavigate the strains being felt downstream, effecting delivery lead times, container shipping costs, and demand outstripping supply, manufacturers will continue to take each quarter one step at a time – this time in the knowledge that the lessons learned in the last 12 months will make them more determined and adaptable than ever.
If you’d like to discuss the regional manufacturing outlook further, or you’d like to find out how BDO can help your business develop its own recovery plan, simply contact me on Jon Gilpin or call (0) 7970 115322.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India]: Amid a raging debate over loudspeakers, Karnataka Minister for Tourism, Environment and Ecology Anand Singh on Wednesday (May 11) said that appropriate action would be taken against all those found violating decibel standards while using loudspeakers.
Speaking to ANI, the environment minister said, “The special team will conduct surprise visits at sites where loudspeakers are installed to check violations. Appropriate action will be taken against all those found violating decibel standards while using loudspeakers.”
The minister informed that the state government has released the circular related to its implementation and state governmentused in masjids, temples, events, churches, and such programs.
“There will be no compromise in implementing the rule. If all directions are not followed by any organisations, mics will be removed and cases will be booked against such institutions and people,” Singh noted.
On Tuesday, the state government banned the use of loudspeakers between 10 pm and 6 am.
Karnataka government said that a loudspeaker or a public address system should not be used except after obtaining written permission from the designated authorities.
“A loudspeaker or a public address system shall not be used at night (between 10.00 pm to 6.00 am) except in closed premises for communication within e.g., auditoria, conference rooms, community halls and banquet halls,” the circular said.
Earlier in the day, Karnataka Home Minister Araga Jnanendra also said that action would be taken against the organisation and people for violating the rules while using loudspeakers.
“After 15 days, action will be taken as per the law if at all the permission has not been taken by any of the loudspeakers using authority on any premises. We will remove the loudspeakers and a case will be filed against such people,” Jnanendra said.
The circular cited the Supreme Court order, which has said that the noise level at the boundary of the public place, where a loudspeaker or public address system or any other noise source is being used, shall not exceed 10 dB(A) above the ambient noise standards for the area or 75 dB(A) whichever is lower.
The loudspeakers row started when the MNS chief on April 12 gave an ultimatum to the Maharashtra government to remove loudspeakers from mosques by May 3, failing which, he warned, MNS workers would play Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers.
A case was filed against Raj Thackeray on Tuesday when he appealed to people to play Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers in the areas where loudspeakers are used for ‘Azaan’. (ANI)

- Signs anti-grazing bill into law
Olakiitan Victor in Ado Ekiti
In a bid to curtail the activities of rampaging herdsmen in Ekiti State, Governor Ayodele Fayose has threatened to charge any erring cattle rearers found in the state with terrorism.
This followed his signing into law a bill recently passed by the state House of Assembly known as:the Anti-grazing bill, geared towards criminalising open and unbridled grazing in the state.
This came to the fore following violent attack on Oke Ako in Ikole Local Government Area in May by suspected herdsmen, which led to the killing of two indigenes with many others injured.
The governor made the statements in Ado Ekiti yesterday during a meeting with the traditional chiefs in Ekiti State to give a vivid account of the state of the state, where he also assented to the bill.
The bill was read to the congregation of all traditional chiefs by the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Hon. Kolawole Oluwawole, yesterday, saying the state government is already working with local government officials to allot portions of land for grazing to all local government authorities in the state.
The Speaker also gave the highlights of the anti-grazing law, revealing that “Grazing activities must be from 7am to 6pm on a daily basis.
“The government shall allot certain portion of land to each local governments for grazing. Anyone caught grazing on portions of land or any farmland not allotted by government shall be apprehended and made to face the law.
“Any herdsman caught with firearms and any weapons whatsoever during grazing shall be charged with terrorism. Any cattle confiscated shall be taken to the government’s cattle ranch at Erifun in Iworoko community.
“Any farm products destroyed by the activities of any caught herdsman shall be estimated by agricultural officers and the expenses of the estimate shall be borne by the culprit. Any herdsman who violates any of these rules shall be imprisoned for six months without option of fine.”
Fayose, while assenting to the bill, said that the purpose of meeting with them was the importance of interfacing with the traditional chiefs on security issues in the state, development of the state, and anti-grazing law among others.
Fayose said he recognised the need for his government to work with the chiefs to give valuable information on activities of those who plunder state resources such as trees, farmlands and others.
Speaking about the anti-grazing law, Fayose said: “My government took the bill to the House after what happened in Oke-Ako some months ago.
The House has passed the bill and I have to assent it, it becomes a law from today that if you do anything to the contrary you will be punished by the law. Any herdsman caught with firearms or any weapon while grazing in Ekiti now will be charged with terrorism.
“I solicit for your support for this government to succeed. This is not about party politics and Ekiti should be our primary concern. I’ll continue to call you for this kind of meeting every three months to give accounts of governance.
“ We want to involve stakeholders in the preparation of the budget, a bottom up approach, we want to maintain the lead of being ranked first as performing best in budget implementation as we did last year.”
The forum also gave room for the government to present achievements of the Ayo Fayose administration to the chiefs and also presented a rundown of all the federal allocation that came to the state treasury since last year, with an indication that the state was having developmental challenges due to the continuous reduction in allocation coming from the federal government.

Violet the Pilot in Canada
Flying high with Violet
This sweetly illustrated kid's book is quite cute and a good read for any child fascinated by flying and pilots. Told very simply and with brightly colored illustrations, readers follow Violet's actions as she gets her plane ready (handing out some safety advice on the way) and takes a family of tourists on a fishing trip in her floatplane.
Action words are highlighted in red and will keep kids involved in the story as they roar along with the plane and splash land safely. This is an easy read along book with little or no conflict (a threatening storm is really no threat at all), making it an uncomplicated, happy read.
I recommend this book for ages 4 and up.

Three family members killed when Dodge Challenger swerves onto sidewalk in Bloomington
Authorities are investigating a crash in Bloomington that left three family members — two of them teenagers — dead and a fourth relative injured, officials said.
The crash occurred about 8:30 p.m. Sunday on Slover Avenue in the San Bernardino County neighborhood, said the California Highway Patrol.
The driver, Leonardo Bravo, 19, was traveling in his Dodge Challenger eastbound “at a high rate of speed” when for reasons that remain unclear his vehicle swerved north across the westbound lanes and drove onto the sidewalk.
The vehicle hit four pedestrians — a 14-year-old girl, a 17-year-old boy, a 20-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman — the CHP said. Only the woman survived, said CHP Officer Brian Alvarez. The group were all family members but their exact relation was not immediately known, he said.
Bravo, meanwhile, stayed at the scene. He was not arrested and alcohol did not appear to be a factor in the crash, authorities said. An investigation is ongoing and the identities of the victims have not been released.

A six-month-old baby who received a new heart after a Europe-wide appeal, has died just months after his transplant.
Charlie Douthwaite was the youngest patient on the UK transplant waiting list, when he underwent nine hours of surgery in Newcastle late last year.
But despite the efforts of staff at the city’s Freeman Hospital, his father Steven posted on Facebook that “our little hero gained his angel wings”.
The hospital said Charlie died after a “long and brave battle” on Tuesday.
Charlie, who was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, had to have open heart surgery when he was three days old, after being born weighing 6lb 5oz at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle.
He spent 10 months waiting for a new organ.
In his post Mr Douthwaite’s said Charlie had died just after 23:00 BST on Tuesday.
He said: “After such a hard battle Charlie’s body just had enough.
“He passed quietly and peaceful.
“Charlie baby you have no idea how many peoples hearts you touched. You have changed me for the rest of my life. I know you will be with me every day.
“I will love you forever baby. See you soon little man.”
A spokesman for the Freeman Hospital said: “It is with heartfelt sadness that we confirm that baby Charlie Douthwaite has died after a long and brave battle.
“Despite months of dedicated and highly skilled care at the Freeman Hospital, Charlie was never able to go home to his devoted and loving parents and two older brothers.
“The thoughts of Charlie’s Freeman ‘family’ are with them at this sad time.”
In December it emerged Charlie had begun to reject his new heart.
After Charlie’s transplant, his mother Tracie Wright said the family felt like they had “won the lottery” and that they had been give a “one-in-a-million” chance for happiness.


Inside Pleasant Details’ 12,000 ft. service center, technicians set to work wrapping automotive parts in protective films and detailing rides big and small—from airplanes to motorcycles—with Meguiar’s products. The shop’s specialties include installing computer-cut window tints to ward off heat, safeguarding paint with 3M films, and fitting auto bodies with vinyl racing stripes and banners so drivers can advertise a local business or creatively ask that crossing guard on a date. Throughout each service, the detailing crew pulls from high quality product lines including LLumar, 3M, and XPel.
Speedee Oil Change first opened its doors more than 30 years ago, right around the time when corner gas stations began trading their garage bays for the wide aisles and refrigerators of a mini mart. With automotive service stations in decline, the first location in Metairie, Louisiana, stepped in to take care of car owners with simple lube jobs and general tune-ups. Speedee expanded to offer a full range of services including working on brakes, power steering, and transmissions, among other things. Locally owned franchises now service roadsters in 20 states, supplying drivers with ASE–certified technicians who pamper vehicles with 17-point oil changes and immunizations against rusty nails.
At Enigma Custom, technicians don't just focus on tweaking a car's appearance?they also change how it operates. They specialize in installing audio and visual equipment such as Kenwood Navigation Systems, fold-down DVD players, speakers, and subwoofers. They carry tires for all makes and models of cars, trucks, and SUV's. They also provide equipment for off-roading vehicles and Vortex spray-on liners to protect the bed of your truck.
The technicians at MasterCare Automotive have everything a busted car needs, from wrenches to the latest diagnostic technology. In addition to preventative maintenance services—such as oil changes, air-filter inspections, and tune-ups—they nurse ailing transmissions, brakes, and water pumps back to health. They back their services with 12-month or 12,000-mile warranties, which they ratify by burning a tower of tires.
The technicians at B&C Auto Glass keep glass damage on vehicles from turning into larger safety issues through services such as sealing cracks and replacing windshields. To repair small cracks in the windshield, the team injects acrylic into the fissure to help improve visibility and prevent further deterioration, and can perform full windshield replacements on the same day. The team also has a mobile unit to travel to clients and perform their auto glass services, perfect for when clients can't get away from their home or when a windshield tries to run away with a rearview mirror.


Illinois State Police continue to investigate a shooting that took place in DeKalb County Saturday afternoon which involved a sheriff's deputy.
Reports indicate that authorities received word of a man with a gun at Suburban Estates on Twombly Road in rural DeKalb a short time before 1.
When police arrived on the scene, 23-year old Hassan Colemen of DeKalb had gone into an apartment in the 2300 building of Suburban Estates.
Coleman did not live in the apartment, but knew the people who lived there. They were not being held hostage and were able to leave the apartment unharmed.
Reports indicate that Colemen allegedly threatened police and engaged in aggressive action for more than an hour. He was then shot by a sheriff's deputy in defense of himself and others at the scene.
Colemen was the only person hurt from the confrontation. He was first transported by ambulance to Kishwaukee Community Hospital in DeKalb and later to a Rockford hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Charges are pending against Colemen.
Assisting at the scene were DeKalb and NIU Police Departments.

The signs aren’t immediately obvious to the outside world. You become accustomed and accepting of my behaviour. I might be a little off, more reserved and quieter than usual but my results don’t change so you tend not to question it. I might appear stretched or stressed but you know I’ve always got it under control so you let me be.
You and I both put it down to me adjusting to the seismic shift of becoming a parent. Unless I admit that I’m struggling it’s not your responsibility to dig deeper. I’m accountable for the way I feel, my behaviour, my choices and I’m accountable for making you aware of the pressure I’m under. Your role, should I feel ready and willing to talk, is to listen. You might offer solutions or suggest I seek support but at the end of the day, I still need to choose to take the next step.
Now consider this for a moment: As a second time father am I going to openly admit that I’m struggling?
I’m not secure enough in my role as a new parent to show vulnerability and I don’t want to disappoint and let my partner or my young family down. It’s much easier to move past it and suppress the way I feel. Let's face it……. my priorities have changed! I must stay focused on the objective which is simple: To support my new family both financially and emotionally. I need to be there for my wife, she needs me to be strong, resilient and level-headed. After carrying our child for 9 months and bringing life into this world I can’t let her see how hard I’m finding this adjustment. Her mind is rightly on other things, she's facing much bigger challenges head-on on a daily basis and she has, after all, taken a step back from her career to raise our children. As I return to work from paternity leave, I have to be sure footed, clear of mind and ready to pick up where I left off. Even though I’m feeling overloaded, I need to stay strong.
As the pressure increases I retreat further into myself and begin to build barriers. On the outside I look calm and ready (I can feel 8 Mile kicking in). I must be composed and step up regardless of the pain I’m carrying. I don’t complain, my head is down and there is a smile drawn across my lips. I can't share how I'm feeling as too many people depend on me. What would they think if they knew of the battle that is raging internally? I need to silence this nagging doubt, push it deeper within and silence my biggest critic.
But why am I unwilling to accept help? This question plagued me and I'm sure others have grappled with this question too. Here's my take on it.
I must not look weak! It could cost me my relationship, my friends, my career and everything I've worked for! I’ve seen so many fathers and men struggle! Their behaviour becomes self-destructive as they push everyone they love away. I’ve seen grown men burst into tears because of the shame they feel, and that’s from those strong enough to admit they have a problem. Too often we’re lost to the struggle and the voice inside and too often we take risks with our health and those behaviours’ point of focus is to numb the pain. In reality our decision not to admit the struggle damages us, and the future of our young families. We think as new fathers it's our responsibility to push down the restless emotion bubbling beneath the surface as we repeat day in and day out "It's ok, I'll get through this."
As a new father I didn’t know where to turn, the support wasn’t immediately available and I wasn’t sure how to approach it. So I did what any dad does: I knuckled down, threw myself into work and bit down on the gum shield ready to take hit after mental hit.
The thing is I’m a dad of two (boys) and I knew deep down that this approach wasn’t going to work long term. I knew I’d only end up teaching them how to suppress their emotion, how to ignore the signs and how to push everything you care about away. It had to stop and quickly.
I’ll admit it. I cracked under the pressure! You didn’t see it as I’ve become quite the expert at concealing my emotion. It wasn’t the pressure of being a dad. It was everything around me. It wasn’t until baby number two arrived that I realised I had nowhere to turn. I was desperate and needed to unload. The pressure got too much and forced me into a corner and I finally admitted to my wife that I was losing the battle and needed to escape. Those words shocked her to her core. My decision to accept I needed help left her feeling scared, alone and confused. It wasn’t that I couldn’t cope with being dad, I just felt worthless; I was so fearful of the future!
I was ready to be a parent. As a couple we were more than ready to bring life into the world and love these little people unconditionally. That night her reaction showed me I had something to fight for. I knew It was on me and I had to find a way to teach and influence my kids from a position of strength and confidence. I had failed to see the toll my lifestyle and approach to work and life was taking on me, both mentally and physically. The beauty and emotional rush felt on the maternity ward quickly turned to fear. How could someone struggling to stay afloat cope with this new addition to our family? Within 24 hours your whole world is turned upside down. Everything you’ve worked for and the relationships you’ve worked so hard at, everything starts to creak under the pressure of fatherhood!
The balance you had is thrown into chaos! We tell ourselves it’s ok and we’ll get through it but do we really see it coming? Your role changes, but you’re expected to react like nothing happened. My eldest was born in 2017 and as this bright, beautiful little boy entered the world I sat back and took it all in. I breathed in the pride I felt. I settled into the role and we got on with it. It wasn’t hard to adjust at first!
Those two weeks paternity were perfect and then BANG! Back to work. I’d been pushing the limit of my body and mind for close to 5, maybe 6 years! And fatherhood changed my outlook overnight and I started to process things differently. I was restless. I’d crashed and burned in April (2017) just before Henry was born (a story for another day) and in all honesty, I never really recovered but instead, just pushed on. The pressure had been building and I felt it more so than ever as I lay on the floor next to my two week old son (Max, who was born in March of 2020). I felt a sense of energy surge through me. It wasn’t pleasant and I realised that I needed to make changes and fast.
As a new father you question the impact you’re having from the off and, under the stress of fatherhood and against a tide of raw emotion, you start to question the direction you’re taking. Your family come first and you’ll do anything to be there even at the expense of your own health. But once the dust has settled, do you ever really sit back and reflect on how the world has changed? Do you open a line of communication with your friends and partner on the importance of investing in what existed before baby arrived?
I’m sure, like me, you’ve tackled it all head on, focused on baby and mum and downplayed your need for a little self-care. But ask yourself this: how much are you willing to sacrifice before it starts to implode and destroy the things you care about most? In those early days are you ever really in control?
Despite the warning signs after baby number one I kept pushing on. My objective was simple: To be a positive influence on my young family. The problem was the strain had taken its toll and I was reactive in my approach. I was making short term decisions rooted in trying to ensure the financial security of my family. As a consequence I started to doubt my ability as a parent. I covered it up well but it gnawed away at me until it caught up with me on that fateful night in 2020.
When the snap came it hit me hard! It knocked me clean off my feet.
At the time I wanted nothing more than to provide for my kids and give them the life they deserve but to do so, I had to right the ship. Like a lot of dads I focused on the wrong things and stopped enjoying the things that make being Dad worth it. I let the world outside knock my confidence and I questioned my role and the impact I was having.
We all set out with the same objective: ‘To be the best dad we can be’. Some of you will have great role models and teachers and some of you won't and despite your past experience, honest, hardworking, stressed out dads will always give it their all!
As we enter fatherhood we’re unsure, we lack confidence and, too often, we let the voice of others dictate how we feel and allow it to knock us off track. We’re so caught up in providing we forget to reflect and celebrate the progress we’ve made. We forget to see the beauty in the simplicity that plays out in front of us and we conform to a way of thinking that limits our connection and potential. New fathers are regularly ignored and, as a consequence of this, the signs that a dad is struggling are all too often overlooked. In my experience the adjustment to fatherhood changed the way I saw the world. I questioned my worth and progress. What became clear once I'd finally admitted to my partner that I was struggling was that my struggle ran deeper than my role as ‘Dad’, and my entry into fatherhood had just pushed me to the edge.
As a dad of two it never stops! I love it! The ride is incredible, absorbing and delivers joy at every turn. My kids are my everything but it used to feel like I couldn’t catch my breath! It’s never going to be easy but who ever said it was going to be? As a dad who struggled, I understand that there is a darker side to it. It’s effortlessly beautiful and simple if you commit yourself to living in the moment but if you’re locked in the past and fearful of the future and unwilling to open up it’s a lonely existence made worse by your unwillingness to open up.
From one father to another, I encourage you to seek support. We both know you've accepted your struggle - after all it's what's keeping you awake at night. What you're fearful of is admitting it to someone and them ignoring you. You're fearful of the shame you attach to looking weak! What you've failed to acknowledge is that any admission of struggle is a display of courage. Others will admire you and those closest to you will love you no matter what. If not for you then look down and see the love in the eyes of your kids…. To them you are strong, courageous, confident, fearless and their Dad, the person they look to for guidance, love and attention.
No dad should ever feel alone or ignored. I believe every dad deserves to hit the pause button on the whirlwind that is fatherhood and get that shot at feeling like you’re back on track, full of confidence and ready to take on any challenge that’s thrown at you.

When submitting to a literary publication, it’s very easy for even the most creative and accomplished pieces to be thrown into the “slush pile.” Literary magazines range from niche webzines to university-funded print journals to renowned publications like Paris Review. The amount of slush published varies accordingly, but one thing is certain: acceptance is no sure thing as submissions far exceed quotas.
Unpublished writers who are looking for their first publications are often concerned about whether literary magazines or anthologies ever publish unpublished writers for good reason: all publications receive far more work that they can publish and far more work than the editors can read.
Every writer starts out unpublished, so we have to start somewhere. This workshop is intended for those who are starting out in their writing careers who need a strategy or a spark to getting their early craft accepted. Two editors offer their experiences and guidance on the inner workings of the often exclusive and opaque world of publishing.

Media personality Flavia Tumusiime and her sports pundit husband have finally, without saying a word, assured everyone waiting to see if there was a problem in paradise that they are good and enjoying each other’s company like two smitten, innocent teenagers. Sheebah Karungi must be running out of tears after taking a barrage of insults for standing with a woman who has decided to stand by her man.
Flavia first teased her fans with a short clip on Instagram of her husband seemingly composed with no worries. Then they showed up at Serena Hotel Kigo for Kabuura’s bestie, Joel Khamadi’s wedding reception where heads turned in awe. They carried their faith in the institution of marriage on their faces despite the threat of multilingual messages to their stay together. It was their first public appearance, just a week after it emerged Kabuura had dragged her into a sexual network with a one Mercy Twinomujuni who is also married.
Kabuura, who was the best man, in a viral video, asked his ‘beautiful wife’ Flavia to stand up for recognition, stating that he met her after meeting the groom, Khamadi.
Flavia revealed during the week on her YouTube channel that one of her happiness hacks is growing her circle of joy; getting people out of her circle of friends just for the sake of having a good time.
The wedding followed Khamadi’s traditional introduction ceremony last week on Saturday, September 11, 2021.
That said, on Friday, September 17, 2021, Flavia revealed to her concerned fans and followers via Instagram that the reports choked her a little making it a ‘tough week’, but that it was beginning to fall in shape and looked like it did, finally.

Collaboration is Crucial for a Burgeoning Music Scene
As we have discussed in a previous blog post, the New England Urban music scene and culture has been on the rise! Why? Because the artists and community are starting to show much more love and are working together to help bring the culture up.
This was something that had been missing in the New England scene for a long time—and the collaboration we are seeing in the region during the present day has been heads-and-shoulders above what it has been in the past. While other regions and cities made a strong name for themselves in the Urban music scene, New England was always pretty quiet—until now.
So why is this collaboration so important? Outside of the obvious cross-promotional pathways this creates for the artists, of course. This could be a philosophical dissertation for graduate school, but we’ll keep it simple and bring it back to the basics: human nature.
Human nature is to be collaborative and helpful to create a better situation for everyone involved. It is literally how human beings evolved into what we are today. Think about it: humans in nature without the ability to communicate and collaborate like we do? No way! We would’ve been extinct! We have two legs, are not particularly athletic compared to other species, do not have the best physical traits for being a predator or to avoid being prey without tools, and are altogether a little awkward! If it weren’t for the earliest collaborations of humankind, I wouldn’t be writing this blog, you wouldn’t be reading it, and you wouldn’t be sitting there wondering where
I’m going with this …
… so let’s bring it forward. We have all the tools, technology and cognisance to do great things individually—much more than the oldest human ancestors, and even much more than the generations that came before us. But we still have to contend with human nature and bias (both conscious and unconscious), which is why it’s especially important for the Urban music scene and culture to be collaborative and work to lift up in a positive way.
Since the formation of modern Western civilization, the cards have been stacked against Urban culture, people of color, and anyone deemed to be “different” from the norm. It isn’t pleasant to discuss, but it must be in order to understand why working together is so vital.
Urban music and culture always had to fight its way into the mainstream. Take the early days of rap and hip hop, for example. It took years to get the songs on the radio for the real masses to hear, but the scene had started to explode “underground” because artists and communities stepped up and worked together. New York, Los Angeles and Chicago led the way, other cities and regions would soon follow, and that’s how it rose to be so prominent in mainstream culture.
New England is up-and-coming, but we still have work left to do. No matter who they are, everyone has been involved in some difficult discussions about race, ethnicity, and how we move forward in a society that seems both eternally optimistic and completely broken at times. New England, Boston in particular, has never quite reconciled with the tumultuous past with racism and segregation.
Because New England has had such an enormous difficulty really letting go and moving forward, it makes what we’re working to do as a community and culture that much more important.
WE can be the change!
WE can show them the vibrance, diversity and humanity that is Urban culture.
So continue to collaborate through music, art and community. If we continue to strengthen our bonds and work together as a community, positive uprising is inevitable! We at New England Mic Check Radio are proud to be part of it.

Ford Sticking with Plans to Buy Electric Vehicle Batteries Made in Georgia
Thursday, April 29th, 2021
Ford still plans to purchase electric vehicle batteries made at a $2.6 billion factory under construction near Commerce, despite the automaker’s announcement that it will design and potentially manufacture its own batteries.
Ford said Tuesday that it will open a $185 million battery research and development center in Michigan. But, company officials said, that will not impact its agreement to buy batteries from SK Battery America. Ford plans to use those batteries in a new electric model of its F-150 pickup truck.

This song really fits me. Isaac Watts stated it far better than I could.
Thus for the Lord has led me on.
Thus far his pow‘r prolongs my days;
And ev’re ev’ning shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.
Much of my time has run to waste,
And I perhaps am near my home.
But He forgives my follys past.
And gives me strength for days to come.
I lay my body down to sleep.
Peace is a pillow for my head;
While well-appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations ’round my bed.

Douglas Ross said he shared the rage of general society over the unsatisfactory activities of the state head.
However, he said it would be inappropriate to weaken the UK government while the conflict in Ukraine was continuous.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak and the PM’s better half, Carrie Johnson, will likewise be fined over parties in Downing Street.
It isn’t yet known which occasion the fines are connected to, however every one of the three were accounted for to be at a similar social event for the state leader’s birthday in June 2020.
Scotland’s first priest, Nicola Sturgeon, and Labor pioneer Keir Starmer have both called for Mr Johnson and Mr Sunak to leave.
Yet, Mr Ross said in an articulation that eliminating the state head would weaken the UK government when we should be joined even with Russian hostility and the killing of blameless Ukrainians.
He said the general population was appropriately enraged at what had occurred in Downing Street during lockdown, adding: “I comprehend the reason why they are irate and share their wrath.
The way of behaving was unsatisfactory. The head of the state currently needs to answer these fines being given.
In any case, as I’ve made extremely understood, in battle in Europe, when Vladimir Putin is carrying out atrocities and the UK is Ukraine’s greatest partner, as President Zelensky said at the end of the week, eliminating the head of the state as of now wouldn’t be correct.
- Reports that gatherings had been held in Downing Street during Covid lockdowns previously arose in December of last year, with Mr Johnson at first demanding that the rules were kept consistently.
- He later apologized for going to a savors party the Downing Street garden, yet told Parliament he accepted he had been going to a work occasion.
- Mr Sunak was likewise asked in the Commons December in the event that he went to Christmas celebrations said to have occurred in 2020, and answered: No, I went to no gatherings.
