Weapons 10/01/20 Some foreign weapons used by Russian special forces
In 2015, according to the Stockholm Institute for peace studies (SIPRI), Russia is the last time I bought foreign weapons – several aircraft and ships. And the L-410 Turbolet was taken from the Czech Republic for training pilots, and three pre-owned boats purchased for the delivery of military supplies to Syria. Since then, other countries had not taken any gun – at least on the official state level.
nonetheless from the watchful eyes of journalists, acknowledging that in some very exceptional cases – and not just anywhere, but in the Russian special forces foreign weapons still in use, although the trend of import substitution in the stronger army, wherever it was.
When individuality is important
According to the website of the Ministry of defense of the Russian Federation, small arms in the army are 15 samples. It is well-known Makarov pistol, as well as alternative him “rook” and “Gyurza”, and Kalashnikov machine guns “Pecheneg”, sniper rifle Dragunov and Vintorez””, grenade launcher “Flame” and RPG-7, of course, AK-74 and others. In a short time in the army may have finally fully appear and AK-12.
All of this staff weapon. With conventional AK-74 ordinary soldiers of the armed forces and Regardie go to the guard, are on combat duty and trained Ratna case. Such machines are passed from hand to hand, from generation to generation and from call to call and generally do not differ from each other.
Quite different things are in elite units, such as “alpha”, “Vympel” or, for example, the special operations Forces (SSO). Here the men have a space for creativity – they can choose what kind of reflex sight – Russian or American – installed on your AK, decide whether you need to machine additional handle Israeli-made and need makelanny France laser designator. And in some cases – whether to use all the AK?
In numerous reports about the MTR staff who took part in operations in Syria, observers repeatedly noticed that the soldiers use Russian and foreign weapons, but every time is a deeply modernized under the specific tasks. So, in April of 2019, the network appeared the picture “pumped” AK-74M one of the commandos. As writes Lenta, the weapon was installed retractable stock and trim shop American firm Magpul, developed in the USA multi-function designator AN/PEQ-15, red dot sight Aimpoint CompM4s, pistol grip G47 Israeli CAA tactical grip-bipod T-POD G2 FAB Defense from Israel, the muzzle brake-compensator “Bulgarian”, as well as domestic components — the forearm B-10 and arm overcharge RP-1 from “Zenith”.
later, in July, users found the footage from the competition, which took place on the occasion of the 45 anniversary of the “alpha” that some members of elite units of the tssn FSB also prefer foreign weapons. For example, one of the soldiers used by the German rifle NC-417 and the other – between the “Glock-17” and “rook” gave preference to the Austrian pistol: the foreign, the sample was placed on his hip, where it is easier to get, while domestic – under his arm. As explained by experts, the location chosen in case one of the guns is failing. And, unfortunately, the “rook” with the army controversial reputation, was not a priority.
Freedom commandos in the choice of weapons is understandable, because for professionals it is bread, and the confidence it affects their lives. So, when selecting equipment, they are likely to be guided not by patriotism, but the quality and convenience of products. It is worth considering that the vast majority of cases, members of the special forces are forced to “man up” at his own expense.
Often they have dokupats, in particular, the elements of protection and clothing. In many pictures from Syria MTR staff dressed in American camouflage colors MultiCam and use a field form, produced by the firm, Propper is one of the suppliers of the U.S. Army. This outfit is one of the best, but in Russia now there are decent analogues. And, importantly, manufacturers are willing to adjust their products to meet the needs of soldiers.
a Similar situation – with body armor. For the employees of the elite units often don’t fit the bulky chest plate, so they prefer modular ballistic systems. So far, the most popular manufacturer of such products – American Crye Precision. But there is something to meet the competition and the Russian firm “the RAID” – now the division MTR buy their system in droves.
Harder just to compete with foreign counterparts on the domestic electronics. Headphones, cameras, night vision devices – all inconspicuous, but very important in the work of professional fighters devices. And while it is recognized that the specialists give preference to foreign models. For example, special forces prefer headphones with active hearing protector by the American company 3M, instead of the regular GSS-1.
Another significant work of the special units thing is the drones. More recently, the American military publication The National Interest has come to the conclusion that Russian special forces lags far behind the American level of technical equipment. The first such conclusion was made due to the fact that our troops, according to observers, the media, lacking the shock drones, whereas the Americans have in abundance reconnaissance and strike vehicles MQ-Predator and MQ-Reaper.
Indeed, until recently, the “shortage” of drones was one of the sore points of the Russian army. In particular, their absence greatly affected the course of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict, which is even called the first war drones. And, of course, is the influencelo on the actions of special operations Forces – because they are primarily engaged in bringing aviation and exploration.
Not surprisingly, one of the last foreign purchases of Russia in the arms market were the drones: from tel Aviv, Moscow in the period of 2009-2014 was bought eight of average intelligence device I-View-150 and 12 aircraft UAV. However, since our country made a qualitative leap in this direction.
Purchased from Israel’s drones was the prototype for the development of Russian UAV “Outpost”. Active work on creation of a heavy attack unit type “Eagle” in August last year he made his first flight. Completed work on a secondary reconnaissance aircraft “Le Corsaire” – for five years is scheduled to begin its delivery into the Armed forces.

It's made using a:
25 -20mm reducer
Now unfortunately I don't have Pictures of the creation process but I'll explain it as best as I can.
I've stapled the suction cup on to the rubber washer creating a "flap" which was then nested in the 25mm PVC and covered with a doughnut shaped piece of plastic.
This is then in turn pushed into the reducer.
The 20mm end is sanded out as well as the outside of your 15mm coupler then just hammer it in as far as you can.
While this is a bit chunky it's not much larger than a ball valve and it's incredibly fast to load.

Emergency officials were searching Monday for survivors after tornadoes tore through parts of Arkansas and Oklahoma overnight, killing at least 14 people and leveling entire neighborhoods.
"We don't have a count on injuries or missing. We're trying to get a handle on the missing part," Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe said at a news conference Monday. "Just looking at the damage, this may be one of the strongest we have seen."
Mississippi's only abortion clinic is fighting to remain open in the face of ever-tightening state regulations. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans hears arguments Monday in a dispute over a state law that requires abortion providers to have hospital admitting privileges.
The current conservative Supreme Court majority has a well-earned reputation for protecting the First Amendment right to free speech, whether in the form of campaign spending or protests at military funerals.
But in one area — the First Amendment rights of public employees — the conservative majority has been far less protective of the right to speak out. Now the court is revisiting the issue, and the result could have far-reaching consequences for public corruption investigations.
Men seek it out to combat low energy and decreased sex drive. Prescription testosterone has become so popular that so-called "low T" clinics are becoming common sights in cities and suburbs.
The number of testosterone prescriptions written in the U.S. more than tripled in the past decade. But researchers suspect that much of the testosterone dispensed at low-T clinics isn't tracked, since it's often bought with cash. This unfettered flow of testosterone — officially a controlled substance — has raised concerns among doctors who specialize in hormonal problems.

Contributions Made To Legion Ball Field Rebuild
© Jamie Heap-The Citizen-Record
District 9 county councillor Mike McLellan, acting on behalf of the Municipality of Cumberland, presents River Hebert Legion Branch # 14 member Bob Hoeg with a cheque for $5,000.00 on Tuesday, August 20 at the River Hebert legion ball field.
RIVER HEBERT-For nearly a generation, the River Hebert legion ball field lay dormant. That all changed this past spring when some volunteers from the local area started removing trees and cutting grass that had overgrown the ball field.
“We played baseball here all of our lives,” stated River Hebert legion member Bob Hoeg recently. “We wanted to get it going again,” he added. “That is why the legion and community are getting together to restore the ball field. The legion is community-oriented; what’s good for the community is good for the legion.”
“At one time, we used to have twenty to twenty-four teams here for tournaments,” said Hoeg. “We used this field and the one (that used to be) in Joggins too.”
The River Hebert legion ball, which has not been utilized since the mid to late 1990s, was also the site of T-Bar, Mosquito and Bantam baseball games as well.
RHDH softball teams have travelled to Maccan and Amherst for home games.
Today, the only sport that children are playing on the ball field is golf, something two local area children were doing on August 20 on the recently cleared ball field.
This past February, District 9 county councillor Mike McLellan submitted an application on behalf of the River Hebert Legion Branch # 14 Ball Association to the Municipality of Cumberland for some money for general ball field upgrades.
On August 20, McLellan presented Hoeg with a cheque in the amount of $5,000.00 from the Municipality. Less than 48 hours earlier, River Hebert, Joggins & Area Development Association chairman Wayne Ulch presented Almira Wood of the River Hebert legion, acting on behalf of its Ball Field Association, with a $200.00 cheque from the Minudie Music Festival.
In addition, such volunteers as Ron Baker, Harrison’s Home Hardware, Bruce Hebert, Chris Berry, Harry Dowe, Doug McAloney, Jack McLellan, Mike McLellan, Jim McNeil and Wayne Ripley have all contributed in some way to the legion ball field rebuild, a rebuild that is still very much in progress. To date, the only infrastructure that the ball field contains are its dugouts, have been swept out by Chris Berry, and its bleachers, which were painted green by Gornall Belliveau.
“Gornall Belliveau supplied the paint while Harrison’s Home Hardware donated the lumber used to make the bleachers,” said McLellan. “Ronnie Baker did all of the ditching for the field, in addition to providing some top soil,” he added. “Thank you to everyone who has helped out with the field.”
“The association is planning a family fun day at the legion ball field in September for kids and families,” said McLellan. “We want to make it playable by then.”
“It will be nice to see how many boys and girls come out to such a family fun day so I could see how much interest there is for next,” stated coach Doug McAloney.


Here at Lost Little One we only ever use ethically sourced, premium veg-tanned leather to create all of our designs. For those who are unfamiliar with vegetable tanning, it is the ancient, traditional method for producing beautiful, malleable leather.
This technique is slow fashion in motion and uses natural resources and artisanal skill to turn hide into a soft, workable material. All of our products are created this way, with no harmful chemicals or machinery used!
Although a much longer and more intricate process, vegetable tanning is environmentally friendlier as it produces no chemical waste, which means it’s biodegradable in the right conditions. Due to the natural tannins, vegetable tanned leather ages very well. It changes and softens, forming a unique patina. This method of tanning is associated with tradition and craft, but in reality very few tanneries have the capability to produce vegetable tanned leather.
Approximately only 10% of the world’s leather is still created in this way, and it takes almost 30 times longer to create.
Here at Lost Little One we refuse to take the easy route at the expense of heritage, humans and the earth. The more I’ve learned about the art of vegetable tanning and the caretakers of this venerable trade, the more amazed and enthralled I’ve become. I’m humbled to be a small part of this world.
Purchasing a veg-tanned product for you means that the leather will soften and change as you use it, it will get supple and form a unique patina. I create our pieces with this ageing process in the forefront of my mind as I need to ensure that I think about how the bag will look in a year’s time once the leather has had an opportunity to wear and age, getting better like a fine wine.

On the special occasion of his 52nd birthday, Akshay Kumar announced Prithviraj, his first ever historical film. The mega project will see the superstar playing the titular role. It will be produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi of Mohalla Assi fame.
Making the big announcement on his Twitter account, Akshay wrote, “Humbled to have the opportunity to play a hero I look up to for his valor & values- Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan in one of my biggest films” He also shared the logo-reveal video of the film in the same post.
Below, see it:
According to the actor, the film is an “attempt to bring to light Chauhan’s valour and daredevilry.” “It is truly an honour that I will be playing one of the most fearless and courageous kings of India. As a nation, we should always celebrate our heroes and immortalise what they did to propagate the values that Indians lived by,” he told Hindustan Times.
“Prithviraj was the only person standing in front of a merciless nemesis [Muhammad of Ghor] and the bravery he showed, made him a true Indian hero, an inspiration for generations and a legend. The news of the film breaking on my birthday has made things all the more special for me,” the actor added.
Interestingly, it is after a long hiatus of 11 years that Akshay is collaborating with Yash Raj Films. His last film with the Aditya Chopra-backed production house was Tashan (2008). Prithviraj is slated to hit the screens on Diwali next year, one of the top three release slots of the year. The other two, Eid and Christmas, have also been booked by Akshay for the release of Laxmmi Bomb and Bachchan Pandey, respectively.

Product Review by Cheryl,
I recently purchased Apple TV and of course; no cable with it. Checked all the usual retail outlets, with the cheapest being $39.95. Too much for 50cm of cable! So I checked the internet, stumbled upon Cable Chick, and got my 50cm HDMI High Speed Cable with Ethernet, for $11.95 - and that included shipping! It was here in a flash and I am blasting out my songs on Apple TV with $18 extra in my pocket. Why would you pay retail?

Six charged after causing explosions at cash points
Six men have been charged with conspiracy to commit burglary and cause explosions after multiple attempts made nationwide.
A total of 16 burglaries, 14 attempted burglaries and three vehicles thefts (subsequently used in the attacks) took place in just over a 32 week period. The offences happened in Cheshire, Derbyshire, Gloucestershire, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Manchester, Merseyside, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Suffolk, West Midlands and Warwickshire. With a total amount stolen coming to approximately £1,000,000 not including the hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage.
A complex combined investigation took place, which involved a specialist Matrix team at Merseyside, West Mercia’s Serious Organised Crime Unit, West Midlands Regional Organised Crime Unit and the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit (Titan) which resulted in the identification of these six offenders. Five warrants were executed at linked addresses in Coventry, Huyton and Merseyside and a further search took place at Newton-le-Willows.
The gang was brought to a stop after a bug was planted in a cash cassette which was subsequently stolen and traced to their hideout in Sandy Meadow, Huyton.
Police uncovered a “quartermaster’s store” of criminal equipment at a lock up in Elm Street, Huyton, which contained burglars’ kits of black clothing and masks, a stolen and re-sprayed Audi, printers for false licence plates and axes, crowbars and gas cylinders.
A month long trial took place at Liverpool Crown Court which resulted in Anthony Bushell, 29, and Thomas Whittingham, 28, being found guilty by a jury’s unanimous verdict of conspiracy to burgle and conspiracy to cause explosions.
Craig Cartwright, 40, Kurt Beddoes, 31 and Ian Ellis, 30 pleaded guilty at an earlier stage, while Gary Keating, 30, will face a retrial after jurors were unable to reach a verdict on him despite more than 19 hours of deliberation.
Detective Chief Superintendent Daryn Elton from the West Midlands Regional Organised Crime Unit said: "We work closely with the National Crime Agency and wider law enforcement agencies to target criminals, disrupt their activities and bring them to justice.
“The West Midlands ROCU is the national lead for ATM crime and this operation is a great example of joint working between West Midlands and North West forces.”
Merseyside’s Detective Superintendent Chris Greed adds “The public are our eyes and ears when crimes like these occur and I would ask that if anyone sees anyone acting suspiciously near a bank or ATM we would urge them to contact the police, as their information could be vital in bringing offenders to justice.”

So here you have it, a very long list of all the theatre I've been lucky enough to see this year. One caveat before I begin: I rarely have anything bad to say about anything I've seen. I'm a very easily pleased audience member, which is probably why I'll never manage a career as a theatre critic. Imagine a weekly column filled with, "This rocks! Go see it!" Yeah, I'd be fired in five minutes. So this is probably an overly-sunny list.
Courtesy of a friend who won the tickets in a giveaway and didn't want to use them herself, I went to see Once knowing absolutely nothing about the show at all, except that the actors all play their own instruments on stage. I don't know that I've ever gone to see anything without at least some knowledge of the plot. So, it was a delightful surprise to me when they started playing Irish music. I shot off a text to my friend at intermission that was basically "!!! Irish music FTW OMG thank you thankyouthankyou!!!"

This was my first time seeing Annie live, and as we waited for it to start, I said to Denise, "How does this show even end? It's a happy ending, right?" She said, "Haven't you seen the movie?" Well, I have (the old one, not the new one with Quvenzhané Wallis, which I'm anxious to see but haven't yet), but apparently it wasn't that memorable. I do remember my high school drama coach being really unimpressed by the movie version, so maybe that's why I never bothered remembering it. Anyway, the tour was excellent, and as I followed all the actors on Twitter afterwards, I saw Gilgamesh Taggett (Mr. Warbucks) retweeting all the stage door photos, and that's when I decided that it's pretty dumb not to go to stage door. (I never did until I went to Broadway. It takes me a while to catch on to things that are smart.)
Confessions of a Prairie Bitch
Alison Arngrim, better known as Nellie Oleson from Little House on the Prairie. When I was little and obsessed with Little House, my mother often suggested that I should be more like Mary Ingalls. Hahahaha. I was forever destined to be somewhere halfway between Laura and Nellie, but after reading Alison's book and now seeing her show, I'm thinking that being more like Nellie wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world. Got a signed book afterward, which is currently sitting on my shelf like a shining pink beacon. Incidentally, Alison is probably my favourite celebrity on Twitter. She's super-responsive to fans and fun to watch even when she's not interacting with strangers. And seeing her and Melissa Gilbert (Laura Ingalls, back in the day) tweet to one another is priceless. Yes, they are friends in real life, and have been since the day they met, which anyone who's read Alison's book can tell you.
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)
I convinced my sister to see Love's Labour's Lost with me by telling her that it was fun! And they used body language! And Austin jokes! To make it more understandable for those who don't really do Shakespeare. She is still insisting that I'm a liar. Yes, being my sister is hard work. So, we went to this one with even more promises that it was mostly in modern English, and while she was less than delighted that Romeo and Juliet was mostly Shakespeare's language, she was even madder that I didn't warn her about the audience participation.
|So much free Shakespeare in this|
city. I love it.
So after that, Denise was absolutely not going to see Henry IV, especially when she heard it has more than one part. Instead I teamed up with a slightly more like-minded friend for this one, and was delighted to recognise a bunch of the actors again. That's definitely an upside to seeing so many local shows the past few years-- I've seen nearly every actor in Austin at least once. (That may be a bit of an exaggeration.)
The Importance of Being Earnest
For someone who loves the theatre as much as I do, I seem to have been the last one of my friends to see this show. How have I missed it all this time? I don't know. And wow, how many zingers did Oscar Wilde manage to cram into this show? The only downside to this show was that since the actors had to have English accents, for some of them it seemed to get in the way of their acting. (And I've seen some of them before--they're great. The accent just seemed like it gave a couple of them too much to think about.) Still, it was very fun and kept me giggling all evening.
It Shoulda Been You
It shouldn't have closed! Eagerly waiting for the cast album to be released next week. Read what I thought here.
|Ramin Karimloo's face on the marquee. If you've ever seen him on YouTube, |
or on the 25th anniversary Les Mis concert, or anywhere else on the internet:
Yes, he really is even better in person.
I've seen the 1988 movie, but never the musical version until now. And wow, have I ever been missing out. Turns out I knew a bunch of the songs, but had never seen them in the correct order. This cast is crazy-good, and I once again feel super-lucky to live in a place where I can see lots of low-cost, high-quality theatre. The trip to New York was totally worth it, but it's not like I had to wander far away (as you can plainly tell) to see some great shows.
And that's it so far! Ten shows, eleven trips (since I saw Love's Labour's Lost twice). I have tickets to this year's Broadway in Austin series; the first one is The Little Mermaid, arriving at the end of September, and the national tour cast must be some kind of industry secret because I sure haven't been able to find it anywhere. Before that, I'm plotting to see West Side Story in San Antonio (another one I've never seen live, so I hope it works out), and a friend of mine is in Love Alone, which is also coming up in September.
It remains to be seen whether theatrical therapy works (I have moments, like during Les Mis when I turned to say to Chadwick, "Did Enjolras really just hand Grantaire a gun? Is he insane?" only Chadwick obviously wasn't there-- I have these moments when I think too much theatre may be making the grief worse), but I don't see me stopping any time soon. It makes it better for two or three hours at a time, and that's not a lot to ask.
Do you go to live theatre? What's your favourite show?

Policing alcohol misuse
Cliff Mann, head of an A&E doctors' group, wants police to take a “zero tolerance” approach to alcohol-related antisocial behaviour, to stop drunks clogging up emergency wards, reported the Independent.

For the client with a substance abuse problem, which of the following would be most helpful to aid the client in dealing with feelings and concerns related to alcohol and drugs?
1. Individual therapy.
2. Group sessions.
3. Solitary activities.
For the client with an alcohol or drug problem, group sessions are helpful in dealing with emotions and concerns about alcohol and drugs. Clients with substance abuse problems identify with each other’s similar experiences and can best help each other deal with these feelings and emotions. Additionally, the members of the group are able to support and confront each other. Individual therapy is not as helpful as group sessions because group members offer peer support and confrontation when needed. Solitary activities and recreation lead to increased avoidance of the issues that must be faced and dealt with by the client. These are often areas that the client must learn to develop and manage while in recovery.

12th May, 2021, San Francisco, California — Spring (formerly Teespring) and Bondly, premiere NFT solutions provider that empowers the next generation of NFT creators, announced today their new partnership to enable Spring’s platform for creators to sell both digital and physical product creation, unlocking a new wave of digital potential for the creator economy. Content creators will use Bondly technology on the Spring platform to create, mint and market NFTs.
In addition, Bondly will provide expertise to develop new digital experiences between creators and fans. More than $2 billion was spent on NFTs during the first quarter of 2021 — representing an increase of about 2,100% from Q4 2020*, so there is a lot of revenue that can be generated for individual creators. These new NFT capabilities will empower the creator to be the authentic creator of the initial digital product as well as rewarded for its creation.
Creators will now be able to simultaneously leverage Spring’s industry leading social integrations and combined with Bondly’s creation technology to sell NFTs, all accessible to fans globally at just the click of a button. Much like what they offer with their Digital Products, Spring will provide creators with a place to sell their NFTs, using their distribution channels to present fans with the opportunity to purchase them.
Bondly will power this next generation of digital collectibles and turn year-round fan engagement into a revenue center for influencers and others wanting to maintain ongoing fan interaction through embedded NFT perks and utilities. With the arrival of Web 3.0 which has been framed as the new ‘internet of value’, this value transfer has never been more clear than with the relationship between fan and creator. The partnership between Spring and Bondly will bring creators and fans closer together, as fans are now able to engage in a fandom that is exclusively between them and the creator via the sale of NFT’s on the platform.
Bondly opened the floodgates earlier this year, for mass NFT adoption by being the first to market with unique products in partnership with influencers and musicians and collaborations with gaming/collectibles creators. Bondly created and distributed YouTuber/Influencer Logan Paul’s first-ever limited-edition series of NFT collectibles for fans, generating $1.3M in NFT sales in the first 30-minutes.
And through Bondly’s core product, BONDSwap, singer, songwriter PelleK released and quickly sold out the first-ever NFT music album, earning $160,000. Two-time GRAMMY award-winning group and reggae royalty Morgan Heritage was the first reggae artist in history to introduce one new song and two digitally remastered titles via an NFT, along with rare digital art.
Spring’s platform enables creators to launch ‘social stores’ which allows creators to sell products via the social channels which have given them fame and followers, including TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. These successful partnerships resulted in explosive growth for the platform, with more than 450,000 verified creators signing up to the platform to build their socially integrated ecommerce stores as of January 2021.
2020 saw a spike of activity, with new creator growth exploding by 135%, alongside a 92% growth in the number of creators who are actively selling their products through the platform. Spring has seen more than 30 creators become millionaires as a result of selling on the platform.
CEO of Spring, Chris Lamontagne says:
“NFTs give creators the ability to produce and more importantly, own their digital creations. At Spring our goal is to put the power in the hands of the creator and that begins with ownership. This is an opportunity for creative people to sell their products on the internet in a way which has not been done before. Partnering with Bondly has been excellent, we have a shared vision of a creator economy combined with NFT capabilities at scale and both understand how truly powerful that can be.”
CEO of Bondly, Brandon Smith, said:
“Spring and Bondly are perfect partners because we see NFTs as a fan engagement tool and work to create tailored, perk-enabled NFTs to increase the market value for creators. We focus on quality first, so that each NFT will stand the test of time and maintain its value to the fan, ensuring their perception of each creator not only remains as good as before the sale, but also actually enhances how they feel about them.”

MESSAGE FOR THE CELEBRATION OF WORLD YOUTH DAY
8/10/2012 11:52:31 PM -
Sunday 12th August 2012 marks International Youth Day. The day has been set aside by the United Nations Assembly to recognize the importance of the youth in building a sustainable national development.
As this important day is marked, Youth Alliance for Development wishes to draw the attention of stakeholders in the development of young people in Ghana of the need to invest and harness the potentials of the youth considering that they form the most sustainable development base of the country.
Currently, the youth are confronted with so many challenges, among which are education and health. We find it unacceptable that more than half of our Junior High School graduates do not continue their education beyond the basic level. We urge government to immediately take steps to rectify this anomaly in our educational system to save many more of our youth from an uncertain future. It is our considered opinion that those who are not able to make the transition to Senior High School are located and placed in technical and vocational institutions, whiles those bent on learning a trade are also placed in skill development centers. While acknowledging that the Local Enterprise and Skills Development Programme (LESDEP) that has been established by government is a way of addressing these problems, it is our considered opinion that the programme should be properly communicated to ensure that a lot more Ghanaian youth, particularly those in rural areas have the benefit of this programme.
The issue of immorality which has taken center stage among the youth must be a major concern to all, especially parents and religious leaders. It is our view that parents should become more responsible in the upbringing of their children and instill Ghanaian values such as respect for authority, decency in dressing, use of decent language, among others.
It is our expectation that government and the society at large find lasting solutions to these problems. We further call on the youth to occupy themselves in productive ventures which can add value to their lives to enable them build a better future.
Regrettably the numerous challenges confronted by the youth are glossed over and are unfortunately missing in the media's lively discourse. It is on this score that we appeal to media owners and host of programmes to create a special platform to discuss youth development issues.
Finally, we call on all politicians to be decent and decorous in their speech at political rallies and campaign platforms in this election season to serve as a model for the youth and children to emulate.

DEVELOPMENT MAP & GUIDE DESIGN SERVICES REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP)
The mission of the Lampasas Economic Development Corporation is to enhance economic opportunities and quality of life for our citizens through strategic business retention and attraction.
The Lampasas Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) is requesting proposals in order to identify a professional and experienced company qualified to plan, execute and deliver a new design for the 2021-2022 Lampasas EDC Development Map & Guide. The company must have demonstrated experience in mapping and graphic design, with a track record of working with economic development organizations to deliver exemplary service in content, design and customer service.
The Lampasas EDC is located in the City of Lampasas, Texas, (pop. 7,291) 65 miles north of Austin and 121 miles north of San Antonio. It is a Type B Texas Economic Development Corporation funded by a ¼ cent local sales tax.
Over the last several years Lampasas has seen steady growth due to our proximity to major employers, reasonable cost of living, accessibility to metropolitan areas and excellent school district. Lampasas is committed to preserving its historic past while embracing a progressive future of commercial and residential growth.
Historically, the natural spring-fed waterways attracted people, railroads and highways to Lampasas and as a result the City is located at the intersection of three major US Highways- 183, 281 and 190, which provide alternatives to I-35 and easy access to San Antonio, Dallas, Austin and Killeen/Temple. The City is located 21 miles west of Interstate 14, and is part of the Killeen/Fort Hood MSA. The City operates electric, water, sewer and trash utilities; and manages the Hancock Park Golf Course, Hancock Spring fed pool and the Lampasas Municipal Airport. The City’s economic base includes a strong medical, manufacturing and banking presence. The Lampasas Independent School District serves 3300 students at 5 campuses.
The goal of this development map & guide design project is to support Lampasas’ continued success of commercial/industrial real estate development interest, as well as serve as a resource to small/large businesses, developers and residents. The new map & guide should attract site selectors, investors and decision makers by delivering attractive, efficient and up-to-date information regarding demographics, target industries, key development areas, community growth/amenities and capture the unique characteristics and high quality of life Lampasas provides. The aforementioned features and goals will be measured through attractive design and creative writing skills that will ultimately brand Lampasas as a destination for business and employment.

MAP & GUIDE COMPONENTS__________________________________________

development. The guide should feature aerial mapping, information on target industries and premier sites, along with infographics and an overall appearance that is modern in color and appeal. The map & guide, at many times, is the first impression the real estate and business community will have of the community. Therefore, it is expected the design and content of this site will reflect the character of the community with ease of access in delivering relevant development information.
At a minimum, the Development Map & Guide should:
1. Attract site selection consultants, business executives, commercial/industrial real estate brokers, developers, investors, entrepreneurs and other decision makers;

CHOPPER COPS ‘SPIED ON SWINGERS’ COURT TOLD
POLICE HELICOPTER USED FOR PERSONAL PLEASURE, COURT HEARS
A “SEX-OBSESSED” cop used a hi-tech camera on board a police helicopter to record footage of his swinger pals having sex in their garden.
Adrian Pogmore, 51, formerly of South Yorkshire Police, used his position as an air observer to film his swinging friends having an eight-minute sex romp on their patio.
He also used a powerful lens to focus on a nude mum-of-three and her bikini-clad daughters in their garden as his crew mates allegedly watched.
Serving South Yorkshire officers Matthew Lucas, 42, and Lee Walls, 47, retired South Yorkshire Police pilot Malcolm Reeves, 64, and former South Yorkshire pilot Matthew Loosemore, 45, are currently on trial accused of being a part of Pogmore’s set-ups.
Sheffield Crown Court heard Pogmore has already pleaded guilty to the charges after he admitted he pre-planned with his swinging buddies for them to have sex while the helicopter was hovering over so he could film them.
Prosecutor Richard Wright said: “On three separate occasions they filmed a couple having sexual intercourse in their own garden.
“They recorded what they saw using the recording facilities that the helicopter was equipped with.”
The court heard there was ‘ no legitimate reason’ for the officers to film them and ‘no basis’ for flying over people’s homes, selecting them as targets.
The police helicopter, usually used for helping to capture fleeing criminals and also to patrol groups after football games, was even flown over a naturists campsite called Candy Farm.
Pogmore decided to zoom in on a naked couple sat outside their caravan.
Mr Wright said: “Although naturists expect to be seen naked by other naturists they do not expect to be monitored by the crew of the police helicopter, less still that they should be recorded by them.
“Not only is there an invasion of privacy, but there are wider issues at stake, both in terms of the waste of a valuable police resource and also in terms of confidence that the public expects the police helicopter to be used appropriately and for good reason.
“Not to be used for filming citizens in a state of nakedness for the amusement of the crew.”
A jury were shown footage of a woman being spied on by the same helicopter. She was sunbathing fully-naked in her private garden with her three daughters, all wearing bikinis.
The middle-aged mum was sat with her legs arched together with her hands on her head.
He added: “The camera has a powerful zoom function and the operator used that to zoom in on the naked body of the woman and in particular her genitalia.”
Graphic content was also played to the jury when the same crew spotted a couple having sex in their garden in South Yorks.
A brunette, who is fully naked, starts touching a man wearing a Manchester United football shirt as she then performs a sex act on him as a poodle dog sits just a few feet away.
The court heard the presence of the helicopter spurred the couple on and they “brazenly put on a show” by performing sexual intercourse in a variety of positions.
The footage used as evidence in the trial was later found in a drawer belonging to Mr Pogmore in his desk at a police station.
Mr Wright added that the recordings were “not simply the product of one swinging and sexual obsessed air observer Adrian Pogmore but were made with the connivance of the other members of the crew”.
He said Pogmore, who did not appear in court, had pre-planned the meeting with his swinging friends to be hovering over their home at the same moment the couple appeared.
Pogmore pleaded guilty to the charges and does not stand trial alongside his former colleagues.
Walls, of Sheffield, denies one count, Loosemore, of Doncaster, South Yorks, denies one count, Reeves denies one count and Lucas, of Sheffield, denies three counts of misconduct relating to watching and filming naked people without their consent and observing and recording people performing sexual acts.
The trial continues.

My first motivation to read came from my parents. When I was only two years old, they began a ritual of reading to me at bedtime, taking turns each night. This habit made bedtime a pleasure for me and then for my younger brother and sister. Bedtime stories read aloud became things we looked forward to and provided a peaceful bond between us and our parents. After I reached the age of two, Mom and Dad took us to the public library, where we were able to choose books in the children’s section. At that early age, I began by picking books for the pictures and then for the stories. Next my parents would ask us to tell the stories based upon what we remembered of the books, often using illustrations as guides. Then came the words we began to recognize and repeat.
Dad said that if we liked books, we need never be bored or feel lonely. That wisdom was proven true over and over again as I was growing up and is still as accurate as it ever was when I was a child. On every summer trip we took with us in our station wagon a selection of books to read en route. I will always be grateful to my parents for hooking me and my siblings on reading. A new book to read was the one thing we were never denied as kids. There might not always have been money for new bikes, but there was always money for new things to read. My brother David, my sister Connie Lynn, and I could often be found curled up in a cozy corner with books we loved. Winnie the Pooh, The Wind in the Willows, Charlotte’s Web, Dr. Seuss, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Aesop’s Fables were among these.
My grandparents bought us the Young Folks Shelf of Books, a set of ten volumes published in the 1940’s by Collier. There were earlier and later editions of these books, but I still have the ones given to us when I was still in diapers.
When I taught high school, I tried hard to find books that interested each kid, even though we also had a roster of books in the required reading curriculum. I knew that once a kid found a book he or she loved, a life could be changed forever.
It saddens me at times to see kids constantly using their thumbs to text mind-numbing and uncreative messages instead of challenging themselves with good books. I was delighted by the Harry Potter revolution. I still love seeing teenagers and younger kids carrying books that are their own choices, books that enrich as well as entertain. We can all be sensitized and made better by reading. It’s a private joy but also one that can be shared in our discussions of why we liked what we have read as we pass on books to friends and relatives. It doesn’t matter if the book is old with yellow pages that smell of the distant past or electronic Kindle Readers. Reading is a window to enhance our curiosity and sense of wonder about everything around us. I urge all the parents out there to make reading a pleasure you share with your kids. They will be forever enriched by it and grateful for your loving efforts. JB

Re: Anyone have any good salmon recipes
ONe of my favorite easy ways to do salmon is to spread pesto over the top and bake. YUM!
Of course lemon, salt and pepper is simple and good. You can add a sprig of rosemary or thyme to the packet while you bake it (I usually do parchment packets).
You could do an asian flair with soy, ginger, garlic, honey and lime - just whisk together to taste and pour over while you bake - or even marinade in that for a while before you bake it.
Honey mustard is a good topping.
I 've tried an orange juice/soy/honey one that was pretty good.
This time of year, blackberry sauce is supposed to be a great match for salmon. I still haven't tried it yet, but here's the recipe I am planning to try as soon as I pick some blackberries and find a nice piece of salmon!
Yum, yum - can ya tell we love salmon?

Washington 70, UCLA 63
Date: March 3, 2011
Venue: Hec Edmunson Pavilion
A desperate Washington team dug down and played tough defense to hold off automated UCLA 70-63. Most of the shooting was ugly. Enter C.J. Wilcox. The redshirt freshman scored 24 points in the second half, putting together what coach Lorenzo Romar called one of the most remarkable halves in the history of the program. Wilcox needed just 10 shots to score his 24 points. The win was Washington’s 20th and likely sealed an NCAA Tournament bid.
Star of the game
C.J. Wilcox Scored 24 points, all in the second half.
Play of the game
With the shot clock running down, Wilcox hit a deep leaning jump shot and was fouled by Jerime Anderson. Wilcox made the subsequent free throw to push Washington’s lead to 61-53 with 2:05 remaining.
Misplay of the game
Aziz N’Diaye lost a chance at a sure dunk when the ball slipped through his hands and up into the air.
- Matthew Bryan-Amaning slammed an alley-oop in the first half.
- Aziz NDiaye Scored six points and grabbed eight rebounds while battling UCLA’s Josh Smith.
- Terrence Ross Was just 0-for-1 in four minutes of play.
- C.J. Wilcox Scored a career-high 24 points, all in the second half.
- Darnell Gant Scored five points and pulled in two rebounds in 23 minutes.
- Venoy Overton Scored 10 points and was a key to pressuring the UCLA ball-handlers out top.
- Scott Suggs Returned from knee injury and helped stabilize things defensively. Was 1-for-3 from the field.
- Justin Holiday Was 1-for-8 from the field but held talented UCLA forward Tyler Honeycutt to an 0-for-6 performance. Added five rebounds and five assists.
- Matthew Bryan-Amaning Struggled to finish at the rim once again, but finished with 13 rebounds.
- Isaiah Thomas Had an abysmal day from the field, shooting 3-for-12. Had as many assists (3) as turnovers (3).
- “You rarely see a freshman take a team and put a team on his back like he did in the second half.” Lorenzo Romar, Washington coach, on C.J. Wilcox
- “Yeah. You always want to win when you come home.” Josh Smith, UCLA center, on his first game back in Seattle
- “Tonight it was me, it could be anybody tomorrow.” — C.J. Wilcox, Washington guard, on his big night
- 41. Number of points Washington scored in the last two first halfs at home combined. Seventeen against Washington State, 24 against UCLA.
- 70. Percentage C.J. Wilcox (7-for-10) shot from the field against UCLA.
- 40. Rebounds for each team.
- 7. Three-pointers attempted by C.J. Wilcox.
- 8. Three-pointers attempted by the rest of the Huskies.
Hopefully this win, along with the clutch play of C.J Wilcox, will wake up the slumbering duo of Isaiah Thomas and MBA. These guys appear to be locked in a tight battle to see who can contribute the least during crucial home games.
Art, you are the prototypical downer Seattle sports fan. I’m glad you’ve been banished to this dark corner of the internet.
I think you meant “typical” rather than “prototypical,” which implies that Art is the prototype of the “downer Seattle sports fan.” I am sure there were downer Seattle sports fans before Mr. Thiel. Now go back to your brightly lighted corner of the internet, and leave us alone here in the darkness.
I gave up on reading Thiel’s articles when he was at the PI (or was it the Times? … same thing.) because his Husky articles were so mean-spirited. Unlike Jim Moore who loved to bash the Huskies, but did it with humor and tongue-in-cheek.
So I figured I’d give Thiel a 2nd chance now that he’s working someplace new. Nope … same ol’ bile from Thiel. This is the last article I will read from Thiel.
No it is not. Say something original.
Great column. You are right-on. And, nothing will happen.
Mark Emmert reminds me of Gorbachev who, after becoming the leader of the Soviet Union, helped to bring it all crumbling down, basically ending Communism in Russia and Eastern Europe. I doubt that Gorby had that intention when he came to power, but he facilitated it with his personality, his relative youth and his new school attitude. Communism was already falling apart, but it needed someone like Gorbachev to help kick it down the stairs. Emmert might be in that same position as far as the NCAA goes.
He is younger than most of the senior citizens who ran the NCAA before, so he is probably more open to new ideas and new ways of looking at things. This could open the door to paying athletes — not like professional football players, but on a scale perceived to insure college players won’t be as tempted to accept illegal payments. This will be the beginning of the end of the NCAA. It will come crashing down faster than any bust of Lenin ever did. Once the cash begins trickling down, every thing will change. The athletes might benefit, but the entire landscape will go through a radical makeover. The loss of the NCAA is no great tragedy, but Saturdays will never be the same.
OK, pay the athletes to make up the difference between expenses covered by a scholarship and actual costs. But can you pay them enough so the kid won’t still be tempted by a big-money sleaze ball agent who can put the kid’s family in a nice house rent free or set up anything goes weekends at a resort? The problem is still there whether you pay them or not. Effective enforcement and penalties will still be needed.
“The likeliest solution, which is already on the drawing board in some
form, is for the top 64 schools to break away from the NCAA and form
their own professional association of four super-conferences, with
limited connections to the universities and the old rulebook.”
They can call it the Premier League.
[Oops, that name’s already taken.]
Come on Art – If the coaches are liable with JAIL TIME as the consequence, this whole issue becomes moot.
You know it, I know it and Emmert knows it.
The NCAA only needs to establish rules that result in jail time – it’s not that tough.
End of strory.
The NCAA rules are not law, and the NCAA is not the government so they can not make their rules have the power of law.
am incomparable to enjoy myself when i appreciate your beautiful article from
my deep heart!
i miss casual posh very much. Getting tired of her mature/professional style.

VERI researchers often require participants for research projects.
Freelance broadcaster Tom Walker talks to VERI's Dr Jasleen Jolly and Dr Andrew Mitchelmore from Oxford Brookes University, who has the eye condition choroideremia and has participated in research which he hasn’t directly benefited from.
We are recruiting adults with sensory loss to investigate experiences of healthcare appointments and services since the COVID-19 pandemic.
This involves an online survey taking approximately 15 minutes. Participation is entirely voluntary and you can drop out of the survey at any time.
If you have a vision and/or hearing impairment, we would appreciate your help by completing our accessibility of healthcare services for adults with sensory impairment survey.
We are recruiting female carriers of X-linked inherited retinal disease to investigate their opinions and knowledge about being a carrier, and the effects of being a carrier on their vision and overall lifestyle.
Female carriers are mothers, sisters, and/or daughters of people with an inherited retinal disease, such as retinitis pigmentosa and choroideremia.
This involves an online survey taking approximately 15-20 minutes. Participation is entirely voluntary and you can drop out of the survey at any time.
If you're a mother, sister, and/or daughter of a person with an inherited retinal disease, we would appreciate your help by completing our vision and lifestyle questionnaire for female carriers of X-linked inherited retinal diseases.
We also require females who have normal vision and are not a carrier of an inherited retinal disease for our control group. We would appreciate your help by completing our vision and lifestyle questionnaire for healthy controls.
We are recruiting healthy young adults aged 18-30 years to investigate visual short-term memory binding.
The study involves an hour and a half single testing session with short rest breaks. You will be asked to look at visual items presented briefly on a computer monitor.
Your memory for these items will be tested immediately by showing an item and asking you whether the item was shown previously.
All the tests are non-invasive. You will be paid £7.50 for your time.
To participate in this research, you should have no visual or hearing impairment (you are still eligible if you wear glasses or hearing aids), and no known history of:
For further information or if you are interested in taking part, contact Monika McAtarsney-Kovacs at firstname.lastname@example.org
We are recruiting people who experience visual hallucinations secondary to vision loss (Charles Bonnet Syndrome).
We will ask you to come to our Cambridge campus to do a short computer vision test and have an EEG.
This involves having electrodes stuck to your head using a special cap so we can measure how the activity of the brain changes before, during and after the hallucination. This is painless.
We will also ask you to describe details about your hallucinations.
The test will take a maximum of three hours. Travel expenses will be refunded.
If you would like more information, contact email@example.com
During the COVID-19 pandemic we ran a number of surveys to find out about people's experiences. While the surveys are now closed, you can see all publications related to our COVID-19 research.
We are currently running a trial of a highly anticipated spectacle lens which is understood to slow down short-sightedness (myopia) in children.
Check this page for future opportunities, or contact firstname.lastname@example.org if you would be interested in getting involved as a participant.
