Biden's Luck Finally Has Changed. Will It Hold?March 11, 2020
I’ve known and covered Joe Biden since 1987 and written many stories about him. He appears at length in my book about American politics. In the fall of 2018, he came to lecture in the seminar I was teaching at the University of Pennsylvania.
“You’re in the Ivy League,” he told the students. “You’re smart; you’re going to do well. But, folks, there is no amount of money you can make – no wall you can build high enough – to protect yourself from changes in society. You have to get involved and be part of that change for the better.”
He charmed the kids, of course, and stayed to sign copies of his own book for each one. Afterwards, we chatted outside the classroom. Several things were apparent. One was how he looked. He was trim and wiry as always, but his skin was pale, almost translucent, and his eyes had faded to a lighter shade of sky. Over the decades, he’d had the gift of seeming younger than his age. No more.
The second: his still-burning ambition, powered, in part, by resentment at what he regarded as the way snooty people had underestimated him over the years. He was Delaware and Syracuse, not Harvard and Yale – or Penn. It bothered him. When I complimented him on his teaching, he reminded me that he had taught law school. When I told him he had framed the media and constitutional issues well, he told me that he had designed complex courses in law and policy.
The third: He refused to accept as final the judgment of fate that had burdened him with bad, even catastrophic, fortune over the decades. He had lost a wife and two children, embarrassed himself in two earlier presidential campaigns and, in his view, had been left to molder by Barack Obama’s decision in 2016 to back Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.
“That was it for me,” he said. “There was nothing I could do.” Had things gone otherwise, in Biden’s view, he would have beaten Donald Trump in 2016. Looking ahead to 2020, he believed he was actually going to do it. It finally was his time.
It certainly appeared that way Tuesday night after he swept to crucial primary victories in Michigan and Missouri (and added two more in Idaho and Mississippi). Timing and context are everything in politics. Suddenly, all that bad kismet had been replaced by a run of good luck: Elizabeth Warren had taken out Mike Bloomberg; Bernie Sanders’ second run was proving less compelling than his first; Donald Trump’s presidency had made both rank-and-file Democrats and party elites eager for a reassuring, familiar figure in the White House; the coronavirus made everyone cherish a guy with government experience.
All of which made Biden confident and at ease in a way I have never seen. He has come to think of his own career as a metaphor for the downtrodden of American society, because “the pundits” and pols had left him for dead politically after Iowa and New Hampshire – and indeed had scoffed at him for decades as just a small-state backslapper of no substance.
He always had the gift of attracting smart, capable people as staff. It was as if he and they understood the drill: He would empower them with his charm and salesmanship; they would educate him on the policy and legal details. Some of these political veterans had publicly kept their distance as his campaign floundered; now they are back -- literally dancing in Philly Tuesday night.
Still, he will need more than a change in the political wind to get where he wants to go. Biden thinks of himself as a skilled diplomat. He will need all of that skill and more to deal with Bernie Sanders and, just as important, his crew. Bernie and his voters will decide whether Biden’s road to Milwaukee is smooth or not – and whether the convention there will be a show or a shambles.
Sanders’ agenda may seem “pie in the sky” to Biden, but it is a meat-and-potatoes hope for millions, especially the younger voters Biden will need to defeat Trump. Wooing Bernie’s “Bros” in 2016, Hillary Clinton made a passing effort to meet Sanders partway on “Medicare for All” and free college. Biden will have to take the effort to incorporate that agenda more seriously. He touts himself as a unifier; his first test is his own party.
As centered and serious as he was Tuesday night, Biden will have to be more so as TrumpWorld comes after him. The former vice president and Delaware senator has a 48-year-long record to defend, and his instinct is to fight to defend it all. “Personal” does not begin to describe how invasive it will be, not only about his votes, speeches and decisions, but his family and son Hunter.
Biden, who has a history of garbled speaking and trouble explaining facts and sticking to them, will have to show that he can be as eloquent as he was Tuesday night in more challenging settings – notably one-on-one debates. The next will come Sunday night in Phoenix with Sanders, a cornered candidate who has little to lose. Down the road will be face-offs on stage with the incumbent president. It’s hit-or-miss at any moment. But that’s true of Trump as well.
It’s four months until the Democrats’ Milwaukee convention; eight months until Election Day. A week is a month in politics; a year a lifetime: a long road still. But Tuesday night, in Philadelphia, Joe Biden had finally gotten to where he wanted to be.

Tasmania is getting ready to rev its engines, with the announcement that the Tasmanian Liberal Government has secured a spot on the Australian Rally Championship calendar for the next five years.
The Tasmanian Government, through Events Tasmania, is investing $500,000 across the five years to host an annual round of the CAMS Australian Rally Championship (ARC) in the North of the State.
ARC is an established national series of motor sport events, with rounds expected to be held in four other states as well as Tasmania in 2018.
The Tasmanian Liberal Government is a strong supporter of major sports events like Targa Tasmania, the V8 Supercars and now the CAMS Australian Rally Championships, with the State continuing to reap the major tourism and economic benefits.
This event alone is expected to inject millions of dollars into the regional economy over the span of the five year contract.
The rally will be staged in Launceston in July, with the four day winter event attracting all the major factory teams, their entourages and support crews as well as spectators to our region. With the North home to great food, wine and tourism experiences this event will encourage all visitors, to explore the region and wider Tasmania.
Winter has traditionally been a quieter time for tourists, however this major motorsport event will boost Tasmania’s winter appeal and add to our reputation as a year round destination.
It is expected, based on events elsewhere, that an extra two and a half thousand bed nights in the Launceston region for the duration of the championship will be enjoyed by the northern economy.
Not only that, but Northern Tasmania will be thrust into the nations tv spotlight, with CAMS announcing it will produce a tv show set to air on Foxsports that will showcase local tourism hotspots.
The Government has a target of attracting 1.5 million visitors to Tasmania each year by 2020, and the global exposure an event such as this provides will assist us to achieve this goal, while also providing more reasons for visitors to stay longer in our regional areas and see more of our state.

Restaurante Julita, a Perfect Example of Rural Restaurants in Honduras
It is a fact that small rural restaurants in Honduras have a special taste to their food. Perhaps it is because they serve authentic organic meals. It could also be because the use of local herbs. Many are actually cooked with wood ovens or stoves, and may get their unique taste from that. It is common for Hondurans to stop on the roadside restaurants to enjoy a country style meal.
During my recent trip to Copan Ruinas for Christmas, Soledad, my wife insisted on a visit to Sesesmil. This is a small village in the mountains to the North of Copan. The road is a dirt mountain street that was in good condition. The area has many coffee farms in the neighborhood. Because of this, the road is kept in good shape for the coffee harvesting season. This is the same road that travelers take to get to the Luna Jaguar Spa and Hot Springs at Aguacaliente, Copan. It is also the same road that they take to go to the Finca El Cisne or Hacienda Rosalila, two of the most visited farms in the area.
The road takes you through two small villages that are part of the municipality of Copan Ruinas. They are Sesesmil 1 and Sesesmil 2. This is the same road that takes you to the Macaw Mountain Bird Park, one of the top things to do in Copan Ruinas. Sesesmil 2, which is approximately 14 km from Copan Ruinas. This is roughly halfways to the Hot Springs, you will find a nice restaurant known as Restaurante Julita. There is a small sign on the right side of the road if you are coming from Copan Ruinas.
Travel Tip: Visit the Luna Jaguar Spa and Eat at Restaurante Julita in Sesesmil 2!
The restaurant is popular with the locals from Copan Ruinas, who like to head out of town on the weekends. The idea of having a delicious “sopa de gallina” is motivation enough for the trip. Many combine the day out with the visit to the hot springs, which are approximately 28 km outside of town.
At Restaurante Julita you will find a clean, inviting setting. The menu is basic, and the more popular dishes are the “Sopa de Gallina” (Hen soup) and the parrillada. They do not serve any alcoholic beverages, which is a good idea. Driving on the winding mountain road after several beers is not a good idea anyway! Try their delicious horchata drink. Made with rice and peanuts, it is a refreshing local beverage. The coffee is fresh from the farm and tasty.
If you are around Copan Ruinas and would like to taste the food in typical rural restaurants in Honduras, consider a trip to Sesesmil 2 and have a bite at Restaurante Julita. If you do not have a car, arrange a tour to the the Luna Jaguar Hot Springs. Let the tour guide / driver know that you would like to stop to eat at Restaurante Julita on the way back.
I am sure you will love the taste of food at typical rural restaurants in Honduras!

It’s the 100th season of the National Football League. The greatest sports season is here—and of course, there are drama llamas making headlines. It’s not Odell Beckham, Jr., who at times, had his antics overblown in the same fashion the liberal media hyperventilates about anything President Trump says. In fact, OBJ and even newly inducted Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens look like altar boys compared to all-pro wideout Antonio Brown.
He was traded to Oakland after his locker room drama became too much. We all know this, folks. When your star wide receiver gets into it with the franchise quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, things aren’t going to go well. And all of this after he was made the highest-paid wide receiver at the time. That’s been eclipsed by the Atlanta Falcons’ Julio Jones contract extension which was inked last week.
You saw HBO’s Hard Knocks. The dude arrives at training camp in a hot air balloon. He got frostbite on both his feet due to a cryotherapy treatment gone awry. And then decided to straight-up cause trouble about a helmet. He filed two grievances. He lost both. Then, he was fined $54,000 for skipping practices. If this was a marketing ploy, it worked. Scores of companies offered to make the wideout a custom helmet to his liking and would pay him millions to wear it on the field. Then, there was the $215,000 fine for conduct detrimental to the team. That also came with his $29 million in guaranteed money being voided. Brown wanted to be released. He unfollowed the Raiders and their quarterback Derek Carr on social media. You all saw the video of his delight when it was made official. He always wanted to go to the New England Patriots. And that’s exactly what happened hours later, agreeing to a one-year $15 million deal that was accompanied with a cozy $9 million signing bonus. Let’s be honest. With Tom Brady, a good offensive line, Sonny Michel at running back, and Josh Gordon, Julian Edelman, and now AB in the wide receiving lineup—the Patriots are probably going to be Super Bowl champs again. Winning back-to-back titles…again. But then came the rape allegations (via ESPN):
Antonio Brown has been accused of sexually assaulting his former trainer, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in the Southern District of Florida.
In the lawsuit, a copy of which was reviewed by ESPN, Brown's former trainer, Britney Taylor, accuses the newly signed New England Patriots receiver of sexually assaulting her on three separate occasions in 2017 and '18.
"We are aware of the civil lawsuit that was filed earlier today against Antonio Brown, as well as the response by Antonio's representatives," the Patriots said in a statement on Tuesday night. "We take these allegations very seriously. Under no circumstances does this organization condone sexual violence or assault. The league has informed us that they will be investigating. We will have no further comment while that investigation takes place."
The first alleged incident came in June 2017, with Taylor saying Brown exposed himself and kissed her without consent at one of his Pittsburgh-area homes. A month later, while at Brown's home in his native Miami, Taylor alleges in the lawsuit, Brown masturbated near her without her knowledge and ejaculated on her back, then later bragged about it in a series of text messages. In May 2018, after a night out at a Miami-area club, Taylor says she went back to Brown's home in Miami to use the bathroom and grab some food, and the receiver "forced her down onto a bed, pushed her face into the mattress, and forcibly raped her."
The response from Antonio Brown’s legal representation https://t.co/EWthra5Fvp— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) September 11, 2019
We’ll keep you updated, but the AB show just took a violent turn.
UPDATE: NFL considering placing AB on paid leave (via WaPo):
The NFL will give serious consideration to placing Antonio Brown on paid leave via its commissioner’s exempt list, according to multiple people familiar with the situation, after he was accused in a federal lawsuit in Florida of rape and sexual assault.
The wide receiver would be ineligible to play for the New England Patriots if he’s placed on the exempt list by the league.
Placing Brown on the exempt list is “possible” and something that the NFL “is going to have to focus on,” said one of the people close to the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic.
The league is investigating the allegations but it’s unclear whether a decision about the exempt list will be made this week, before the Patriots are scheduled to play again. Brown has not been charged with a crime, so the NFL does not have to be concerned, at this point, about interfering with a criminal investigation. It is not clear yet if or when the league’s investigators will be able to arrange interviews with Brown’s accuser and other potential witnesses.

Moammar Khadafy is dead — and his unlikely pen pal, a retired Jewish florist from Brooklyn, never got to say goodbye.
Louis Schlamowitz, 81, had been writing to Khadafy since the late ’60s and over the years amassed a pile of letters and autographed pictures from the Libyan dictator.
“He was a good pen pal,” said the lifelong Canarsie resident. “I felt it was very nice of him to take the time to write back to me, because I’m nobody special.”
Schlamowitz, who as a hobby has corresponded with everyone from President Harry Truman to Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini, wrote his first letter to Khadafy shortly after Khadafy seized control of Libya in 1969.
“I wished him well and congratulated him on being the new leader of Libya, hoping for many more years ahead of him,” Schlamowitz said.
“At end of letter, I said I’d be very grateful if he would send a personal picture of himself to add to my Middle East collection.”
About a month later, Schlamowitz received an autographed picture of Khadafy in the mail — and a note thanking him for his “kind message.’’
And a strange, long-distance friendship was born.
“We kept corresponding with each other. I’d send Christmas cards and letters to him about my different viewpoints about the United States and Israel. I said the state of Israel would never be split because it’s the homeland of the Jewish people,” Schlamowitz said.
Khadafy wrote back with his own views — bashing both countries in a two-page diatribe in 1981.
“America practices terrorism against the Palestinian people through providing Israel with the planes and weapons for attacking the Palestinian camps,” Khadafy wrote to Schlamowitz.
“If America carried out an act of aggression against us, we will become a second Vietnam.”
Schlamowitz took the remarks in stride.
“I don’t go along with what everybody sends me,” he said.
He said the correspondence did cause headaches for him with the CIA, which sent agents a few times to quiz him about the notes, as well as those from Khomeini.
But once he’d pulled out his photo album and they saw it was a hobby, they backed off, he said.
But when Schlamowitz learned of Libya’s role in the 1988 Pan Am bombing that killed 270 people over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, he cut Khadafy off.
“[Khadafy] committed crimes against humanity. I didn’t want to get mixed up with him or his organization, so I backed out,” he said.
Six months ago, hearing about the uprisings in Libya, Schlamowitz decided to check in.
“I wanted to give him a lift, with all he was going through. So I wrote him a letter saying, ‘If you don’t take care of your people, your people will take care of you,’” he said.
The letter was returned to him unopened.
On Oct. 20, Khadafy was beaten and killed by Libyan rebels.
“I felt bad about how he was slaughtered. They really gave him the one-two-three,” Schlamowitz said. “But that’s politics.”

Malaysia's Human Resource Minister, M Kulasegaran has advised parents to give support to their children to join programmes in TVET (Technical, Vocational Education and Training), and to counter negative perceptions towards the field.
He was reported saying this by Bernama at the pre-launch of the TVET Conference 2019 at KL Sentral.
He noted that countries like Australia, Germany and Singapore have emphasised on producing skilled TVET graduates demanded by the industry. As such, he said TVET graduates could easily find jobs with high pay compared to academic graduates.
"We want our children to believe that TVET creates skilled workers who get higher pay," he affirmed.
At the event, the Minister also announced the appointment of singer Yusry Abdul Halim, popularly known as Yusry KRU, as the ministry's TVET Icon in an effort to attract young people into the field.

Introduction: RGB LED Moodlamp (sitting Dog Lamp)
That was just an idea but I still needed a design. After spending few hours on the internet I have found really cool lamp - sitting dog lamp. I was really impressed by that simple but very nice design, so I decided to make it. Just one difference: mine had to be RGB mood lamp.
And finally, here is the video!
Step 1: Tools and Materials
Before starting any work you need to do a list what you will need. Of course it's almost impossible to write down everything, but most of tools and materials can be easily predicted.
I have made a list where I wrote what you will or might need while making this lamp. You will find it in pdf file.
Step 2: Drawings
The work begins! I have to say, pencil is the best invention ever. Don't make a mistake and don't draw with ballpoint pen. At least while you are not sure about the shape and other details. Later you can make those lines clearer with pen.
So I was thinking how my "sitting dog" should look like. I have searched photos, how real dogs look like when they are sitting. After few sketches I had my sitting dog drawing. Just only thing...that dog had no head
Step 3: Sides
After cutting out paper dog shape, take 4mm plywood and outline that shape on it. I highly recommend to cut this thin plywood with a jigsaw.
Be sure you have made two sides of full body shape. After this, take your paper dog shape and trim its legs. Don't throw those paper legs away. You will need them later.
Step 4: The Body
Now it's time for main body part. Take your 12mm plywood and draw four body shapes. Be sure that all of them will fit. When you cut body parts, try to cut as close the line as you can. It will be easier and you won't have to sand as much as I had.
As you already have all four parts, take them and align all edges as close as possible. Then take the clamps and press them firmly. Then take two wood screws and screw all four layers together. Now the clamps can be released.
Step 5: Sanding
A lot of work was waiting for me. Because my cheap electric jigsaw doesn't cut very straight. I had to spend a lot of time sanding all the bumpings. And worst of all was that I had to sand all the body manually just with sandind paper. But well, I am very proud of myself, because body turned out very smooth.
Step 6: Assembling the Body
After sandind, while dog's body is still screwed together drill four holes for wooden furniture plugs. I had 8mm plugs, so I have used 8,5mm drill. You need to use a little bigger drill bit because those plugs have to remove easily. Before removing screws, number all four layers. After this, you can remove them.
When you have all four layers ready, take the second and the third layers. Mark the place where you will place your electronics and cut it out.
Now you can glue second, third and fourth layers to the right side, and first layer to the left side. Don't forget to glue wooden furniture plugs on the left side. Let it dry for 12 hours.
Step 7: Preparing for Wiring
Okay, now we have two parts of body. When you put them together it looks very well but it can fell apart. So I decided to drill three holes in the body which also goes through firniture plugs. So when you put wood screws there it holds all body together.
Then I marked place on the neck where i had to drill a hole for all wires. I have used long 8mm wood drill bit. Be sure that drill you are using is long enough to go through all the neck up to place where electronics will be placed.
Step 8: The Collar
Collar was made from three 4mm circles which were glued together. Of course you can cut one circle from 12mm plywood. It makes no difference. How you can see, one circle is marked with sixteen lines. Those lines helped me to maintain equal distances between holes. Also I had to cut out the center of the collar to leave the place for wires.
Step 9: Painting
Now it's time for painting! First I have glued the collar and then painted it, which was really a big mistake. But small brush helped me to avoid painting the body with red paint.
Before applying decorative wood impregnator, sand the body with fine grit sanding sponge. Don't forget to clean all the dust after that. When I applied first layer on the body, I didn't like the color. It wasn't dark enough. So I have applied two more layers to get proper color. What I liked about this wood impregnant, it was with wax. So after few days dog got shiny.
Step 10: Electronics
Electronics isn't very difficult and doesn't cost very much. The most expensive parts are RGB 1W LED and power supply. What I like about these electronics is that it don't have too many parts, electronics "heart" PIC12F675 is cheap, the PCB is very small and it is controlled just with potentiometer and one button.
Before attaching electronics in dogs body, mount DC jack, momentary push button and potentiometer in the collar and take all wires through the neck to the body center, where electronics will be placed. Then connect everything to the PCB and mount it in the body.
Step 11: The Cone
LED mountig pad is made from two different sizes, 4mm plywood circles. The bigger one is with hole in the center for LED. Before mounting the heatsink, don't forget to paint this pad with wood impregnant. While pad is drying, cut out diffuser holder from 3mm plexigalss. Be sure that holders center hole is big enough for diffuser to fit easily. After you have done this, you can glue the heatsink in mounting pad. Don't forget to drill holes for LEDs mounting. Now all the mounting pad can be fully assembled and put in the cone. Put the cone on dog and screw it tightly.
Step 12: Finish and Enjoy!

text: Objective: This longitudinal study aims to evaluate the effect of psychological counselling on quality of life, marital satisfaction and need for parenthood in couples undergoing fertility treatments (ART). Background: Recent guidelines on the ART suggest that psychological counselling should target both members of the infertile couple in order to improve their conjoint management of the infertility-related stress. However, studies on the dyadic outcome of couples are scarce. Methods: 262 patients were originally considered in the study and completed questionnaires on quality of life, need for parenthood and marital satisfaction, before treatment (T1) and at the day of intrauterine insemination/embryo transfer (T2). For the purposes of this study, 34 counselled couples were then matched to 34 non-counselled couples by propensity scores. The Common Fate Model (CFM) was used to examine dyadic changes. Results: Couples receiving counselling had higher dyadic quality of life and lower dyadic stress due to the need for parenthood at T2 compared to non-counselled couples. No differences were found on marital satisfaction. Conclusion: The findings provide support for the effectiveness of counselling on interpersonal outcome. The CFM allows researchers to examine how the dyad as a whole responds to counselling, highlighting the change in the couple’s relational dynamics.

A very traditional—often thought of as old-fashioned—way of preserving fish and wild game is canning using the pressure of steam.
Unless you have a friend to lend you a pressure canner, the start-up cost can be between $100 and $200 to purchase the necessary equipment and accessories.
In olden times, cans were used even at home, but in recent history jars made for canning have simplified the process.
Being careful and following the instructions are key, as the process uses boiling water and steam pressure to produce the final product.
After a thorough wash and rinse, you basically just boil the jars, sealers and screw-on lids to sanitize them. This part only takes a few minutes and then the jars etc., are removed with sterile (boiled) tongs and stood upright to dry.
Some of the water is then poured off because the product-filled jars will raise the water level until it is too deep. When the jars have cooled, add the fish or meat chunks up to about 1/2inch from the top.
Exercise caution here. The lip of the jars must be kept clear of fish or meat bits as that will prevent proper sealing.
Follow the pressure canner instructions to get it up to pressure, then just hold it above 10 pounds for 100 minutes. Follow the canner instructions afterwards while reducing the pressure to the point the canner can be opened and the sealed jars removed.
It is important to follow the instructions carefully, or serious injury can result from too much heat or premature opening of the canner.
Lift the jars out with rubber-covered tongs and stand aside to cool and seal.
After a period of time you’ll hear each jar make a “ping” sound as the cooling causes it to seal. Sometimes an occasional jar will not seal and you cannot see that.
Tap each lid with a dinner knife. The sealed ones will make a sharper “ping” sound, while the unsealed ones will make a “pong” sound. The ones that did not seal are fine to eat, but that should happen within a day or two and they need refrigeration.
Use any sized jar, but these ingredients are for quarts/litres.
1/2 cup tomato soup (or ketchup)
1/4 cup vinegar
1 teaspoon salt (added to each individual jar before soup/vinegar mix)
Fillet the fish, making them boneless. Cut into 1 inch chunks and pack into quart jar until about 1/2 inch down from rim. (Put in salt first, then fish, then liquid.)
Process for 100 minutes at above 10 lbs pressure.
NOTE: for safety sake, if it drops below 10 lbs, restart the 100 minutes.
Jackfish Stuffed in Pita Pocket Halves
I pint of canned Jackfish
3 tablespoons finely chopped onion.
3 tablespoons mayo or sandwich spread
Seasoned salt to taste
Seasoned pepper to taste
1 pkg of small pita pockets.
Drain the liquid from the fish and break it up, mixing the onion, sandwich spread, salt and pepper.
Open the pita pockets and fill with fish mixture.
You’ll be surprised how many people will think it is salmon.
Try it; you’ll like it.

ORANGE – Police are asking for the public’s help identifying a man who they say exposed himself to a girl inside a Walmart store.
Officials said they received reports of indecent exposure at the store at 2300 N. Tustin St. on Thursday.
A 13-year-old girl was inside the store when a man exposed himself to her, officials said. When the girl left the area to find her grandmother inside the store to report what happened, the man fled, police said.
The man is described as Latino, between 30 and 40 years old, about 5feet 10 inches tall, with a medium build and dark, short hair. He is believed to have been driving a silver or gray four-door sedan similar to a Honda Accord, officials said.

▷ The best telescopes. Comparison
Spyglass – Opinions, Analysis and Buying Guide
The telescope is an instrument that has always fascinated young and old and modern versions are much more powerful and performing compared to those of the past. In the guide you will find more interesting information and review of eight of the models most popular with consumers. In the list there is also a telescope for kids, but the most popular are the Celestron Ultima 80, the optics quality and affordable price, and the Celestron Regal 80ED M2, a device much more expensive but professional level.
The 8 Best Spotting – Ranking 2020
1. Celestron telescope Last 80
More than a real astronomical telescope, the Last 80 is an excellent all-rounder device manufactured by a leading company in the sector, Celestron, and for this reason, according to the opinions of buyers, is one of the best telescopes of 2020 among all models currently being sold online.
In fact it is very versatile and can be used both to observe the Moon and the brightest stars, both for terrestrial observations; mounts an optic 80 mm with a 45 ° field angle, as in the best tradition Celestron Furthermore, the optics is of high quality with antireflection coating and the type refraction, with a roof prism to 45 ° inclination.
It features zoom eyepiece with magnification of 20 to 60x and its excellent compactness, light weight and completely waterproof, making it ideal for hunting and sports use, especially the shooting.
Optics: Celestron Those are of excellent quality, specially treated to disappear ghost. That the Last 80 also has the advantage of being particularly bright since it is of the type with refraction.
Compact and resistant: The compact size and low weight make it also very easy to carry, the shell is also durable and completely waterproof, so as to protect it from rain.
Price: Hardly able to find a high-quality telescope at a similar price to that of the Last 80; for this reason it is considered the best telescope and is one of the best selling models.
Nothing Accessories: The package includes only the telescope and soft carrying case and pouch, tripod and adapter for SLR camera must be purchased separately.

2. Regal Celestron Telescope Zoom
Among the different models that have undergone a comparison, it is no surprise to come across it again in a Celestron product, specifically the professional 80ED telescope, which belongs to the Regal M2 series.
At the same way as the Last 80 discussed above, even the Regal M2 80ED is equipped with a similar perspective, namely a lens 80 mm in diameter with a refractor roof prism. The fundamental difference, however, is that the roof prism of the Last 80 is a basic pattern, while the one mounted on the Regal M2 is BaK-4 type, then qualitatively superior.
The eyepiece has a magnification factor of 20 to 60x and is not intended for the use of filters, but the range of accessories, apart from the soft bag, it also includes the fitting for DSLR SLR, which, however, requires a ring T optional. The only flaw, unfortunately, is the price, which is three times that of the Last 80.
Versatile: How the Last 80 Regal M2 is also a handyman telescope suitable for both ground-based observations of the night sky is, for hunting, sport and especially for the shooting.
Professional quality: Thanks to the roof prism BaK-4 and the multilayer antireflection treatments, able to drastically reduce the flare and chromatic aberrations, Regal M2 offers a professional made to all intents and purposes.
Accessories: Unlike the Celestron Ultima 80 also Regal M2 has also fitting for DSLR cameras, although still requires a T optional ring.
Price: Unfortunately, the cost is considerable, especially compared to the Last 80, so it is accessible only to a small niche of users, very demanding.

Powerful Terrestrial telescope
3. Telescope Bresser 4322000 25-75 × 100
If you are wondering where to buy a powerful spotting scope, perhaps at a good price, then the BRESSER 4322000 is the ideal answer to your question. It is in fact a refractor telescope equipped with a 100 mm lens diameter and an eyepiece with a magnification factor of 25 to 75x.
It is recommended especially for nature observation and for hunters, since its powerful optics allows for clear enlargements even in the worst lighting conditions, namely the dawn and dusk. The lens is mounted in accordance with the configuration and the Porro prism is BaK-4 type.
According to buyers its main value lies above all in the excellent value for money. The yield is excellent up to a radius of 10 kilometers, beyond which begins to blur, but in spite of the optics has good characteristics remains lower than that of Celestron.
Value for money: Given the specific characteristics, the powerful optical and type of prisms, the value of BRESSER telescope is among the most favorable that there are.
Powerful: The lens of 100 mm diameter with magnification factor of up to 75x, allows to clearly see and focus up to a distance of about 10 kilometers.
Prepared for the cameras: Even the BRESSER offers the advantage of being able to be connected not only to cameras but also the cameras, thanks to a special adapter manufactured by the same company.
Magnification: As you increase the magnification, the focus returns to focus decreases, and at the highest factors you can not achieve complete clarity.

Telescope for air rifle
4. Konus Ottica da Mira Konuspro-Plus 5-24 × 50, 7274
The Italian company KONUS is known and appreciated especially for its optical riflescopes for hunting and target shooting, but its production also extends to outdoor equipment and scientific.
The PRO-PLUS 5-24 × 50 is in fact a telescope for high quality air rifle, bolstered by a very competitive price. The optic is lit and particularly suitable for shooters over long distances, and adjusting to 1/8 inch M.O.A. also it makes it compatible with tactical rifles. The grating is optimized for air rifle marksmanship, of course, and the lens is suitable for throws up to a distance of 300 meters.
According to buyers, however, the maximum effective distance of yield is 200 meters, also the parallax correction does not fall below the 15 yards value, then the focus on short distances is impossible to perform.
KONUS: The Italian brand is considered a real guarantee, and is synonymous with high quality, especially with regard to the optics for hunting and target shooting.
For long distances: The KONUSPRO-PLUS 5-24 × 50 is the ideal fiber for shooting over long distances, with an effective range of 200 meters and a maximum of up to about 300 meters.
Also suitable for tactical use: The M.O.A. adjustment to 1/8 of an inch and the military-type lattice, suitable also for rifles tactical.

From toy models to optical precision
The telescope is an instrument that has always fascinated children and adults, whose origin is very old and whose applications are different, earth observation at the astronomical, or as an aid to navigation, such as sports instrument and even as a weapon of war .
Understanding how to choose a good telescope, therefore, is not as simple as it sounds, especially taking into account the wide range of models offered by the market, and especially from the price difference, which varies from a few tens of euro of toy models for children up 1,000 Euros and beyond of the most high-end models, which include both telescopes by observation both the precision optics for hunters and marksmen.
Which telescope buy, then, given the choice? The answer to this question is simple, just be aware of their needs and the use you intend to make.
The mid-range scopes
The most market economic band, for this particular type of optical instrument, is represented by the toy telescopes; these are suitable especially for those who want to make an original gift, pleasing and at the same time also educational, stimulating the curiosity to know the child. As mentioned above, in this range the prices are very low and the spending range may vary from 10 to 40 Euros or so, depending on the model chosen.
In the middle segment of the market, however, they include a wide range of models for which the price can vary from 200 to 800 Euros, depending on the manufacturer and owned properties.
Most of the copies sold are located in this segment but in fact, for this very reason, we must make distinctions necessary. There are in fact telescopes that are very versatile and can be used both for the observation of the sky for Earth observation; Others, however, tend to be more specific as specifically designed to offer the best in certain fields of application.
As just one example, so if you want a telescope just to go birdwatching, or to use to follow in a close sporting events such as horse racing or football matches, it will be better to turn to a specific model.
If you pose no limits on the type of application, then better to focus on the generic scope that offers the best performance in its category.
The size and weight can influence the choice; if the telescope is very heavy and bulky, in fact, it will be more difficult to carry compared to a compact and lightweight model, and therefore less suitable for outdoor use.
The high-end telescopes
When it comes to telescopes, the mid-range and the high end of the market tend to merge together because there are no substantial differences in instrument types, but only in the quality of manufacturing materials, the lenses and prisms, the focal length that can reach , performance in the eventual offers and accessory equipment.
The same, of course, also applies to the optical target, which represent another type of telescope destined mainly to hunters and marksmen. The models at the top of the range, then, are available at a price ranging from 800-900 euro to rise, depending on the manufacturer, the type of instrument chosen and its features.
Who invented the telescope?
Unfortunately it is not possible to attribute with certainty the exact authorship of the telescope to a specific person; according to historical records, in fact, the first samples of the telescope appeared in the West date back to the early 1600s, in hindsight, however, by further archaeological finds in Mesopotamia, it is clear that already Assyrian and Babylonian had developed rudimentary tools astronomical observation.
In a publication of 1618 becomes the name of a German optician, Johannes Lippershey noted as the inventor of the telescope, but it is also specified that Lippershey had learned the secrets and techniques of construction of this fortuitously instrument, a traveler who was He arrived in his shop.
Subsequently, the physicist, astronomer, philosopher and Italian mathematician Galileo Galilei, was able to obtain one of the telescope specimens made by Lippershey, one coarse tool characterized by a low magnifying power and an equally poor image resolution.
Galileo sensed immediately that further improving the characteristics of the scope of the latter offered considerable potential as a tool to be used in the field of war and military. After managing, using empirical methods, rebuild and also improve the yield of Lippershey telescope, therefore, Galileo quickly produce different specimens with the intent to offer them to the Doge of Venice as instruments of war.
In 1609, in fact, Galileo wrote a letter to Doge where, attributing the authorship of the invention, offered to the Serenissima the telescope for military purposes, demanding in exchange for a chair. The Doge of Venice, fascinated by the instrument, and then attributed to Galileo the chair to life is an annual salary of 1,000 guilders, thereby tying the name of the astronomer Pisa to that of indissolubly telescope.
How does a telescope?
The telescope is an optical instrument used for the close observation of objects that are located at a great distance from the observer, and its principle of operation is based on the refractive properties of the lenses, so it can vary depending on its type. The telescope, in fact, can be of three types: Galilean, Keplerian and prismatic.
The Galilean telescope is constituted by only two lenses, a convergent, plano-convex or biconvex, which acts as a lens and a diverging, plano-concave or biconcave, as a function of eyepiece. The magnification level, therefore, can be varied by changing the focal length between the two lenses, by lengthening or shortening the tube in which they are inserted.
The same principle applies to the Keplerian telescope, but the latter adds a third lens, or even a group of lenses, in an intermediate position between the objective and the eyepiece. Depending on the convexity of the lens, in fact, this can postpone the eyepiece an inverted image; the intermediate lens precisely serves to straighten the real image formed by the lens, and this lens is defined straightening.
The prismatic spotting scope, however, is analogous to that Keplerian with the only difference that for the straightening of the image is not used but a lens precisely a prism, whose configuration can be roof or Porro, from the name of its inventor: Ignatius Porro .
How to build a telescope
Wanting grapple nell’autocostruzione of a telescope, it is advisable to choose the Galilean type since it is the easiest to realize. The material to be found for the construction of a Galilean telescope with a magnification factor of 6 to 6.5x is as follows:
– Two eyeglass lenses of 60 mm diameter, a converging from 0.75 diopters, the focal length of about 133 centimeters, and a diverging from -5 diopters, with focal length of about -20 centimeters, both easily available at an optician’s shop .
– Two cardboard tubes of approximately 5 mm thickness, the first with an inner diameter of at least 60 millimeters and 90 cm long and the second with a smaller outer diameter of 60 mm and length of 60 centimeters. On call without spending as a waste of fabric rolls, rolls of cloth or paper to clean the house.
– A cardboard with a thickness of about 1 millimeter.
Despite the simplicity of design of the Galilean telescope, however, the cutting and assembly of the various components require an accurate work and a lot of patience, as well as the aid of scissors, saw and measuring instruments such as rulers or a gauge, for those who were outfitted as well as a diagram that helps to visualize the different parts to be made and the manner in which to put them together, which is why we refer to a file with specific instructions.
How to adjust a telescope for rifle
A correct adjustment of the telescope is essential for obtaining the utmost precision; before executing it, however, it is important to first verify that the telescope is installed on the weapon so as to be perfectly aligned to the barrel, with a stable coupling and completely devoid of games in the mechanical parts.
For verification, please contact your gunsmith or, if you are in possession of a rifle with a rotating bolt, run yourself pulling the shutter and placing the gun in a stable position of aiming at the target and then, without touching the ‘weapon, alternately sighting the line of sight from the barrel and the telescope to see if they match.
The optical calibration, however should be done via the two adjustment rings placed about halfway down the length of the tube; the operation is obviously performed with the weapon locked on appropriate supports and pointing toward a target located at least 100 meters away.
Acting on nut dell’alzo you will adjust the horizontal axis of the grating, whereas the ring nut of the rule tilt the vertical axis; aiming the target, therefore, necessary to act on both ring nuts until they coincide with its center.
This, however, is only a preliminary calibration which will have to follow a test firing, with the type of projectile usually used. The whole procedure is quite long to explain, given the many technicalities, so we refer to specific documentation on the calibration of the optics.


History: Resolution 17-0207, adopted on June 13, 2017, approved the assumption of certain unpaid funding commitments for the Southwest Light Rail Transit (METRO Green Line Extension) Project (CP 1005876) (the “Project”), the assumption of the 2017 Capital Grant Agreement (Counties Transit Improvement Board #01-2017-01/Met Council #17I007) (the “CTIB Grant Agreement”) with the Metropolitan Council (the “Council”) for the Project, and the imposition of the 0.5% sales and use tax and $20 motor vehicle excise tax that are the primary sources of funds for Hennepin County contributions to the Project. Through these and other actions, Hennepin County agreed to take responsibility for the remainder of the 30% share of project funding formerly committed by the Counties Transit Improvement Board and the remainder of the 10% share formerly anticipated from the State of Minnesota. The CTIB Grant Agreement was subsequently amended various times -- to increase the not-to-exceed amount, to extend the expiration date, and to attach other conditions -- by the following resolutions: Resolution 17-0436 (October 24, 2017); Resolution 18-0091 (March 13, 2018); Resolution 18-0221 (May 31, 2018); Resolution 18-0344 (August 21, 2018); and Resolution 18-0439 (October 25, 2018).
The Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority (“HCRRA”) provided funding for the Project, as well, under a separate grant agreement. This agreement was first authorized by Resolution 16-HCRRA-0037 and subsequently amended by Resolutions 17-HCRRA-0029, 18-HCRRA-0012, 18-HCRRA-0026, 18-HCRRA-0039, and 18-HCRRA-0054 R1.
During this time, the Council was seeking a Letter of No Prejudice (“LONP”) from the Federal Transit Administration (“FTA”) related to the Project. An LONP was needed to allow the Council to begin construction activities prior to the execution of a Full Funding Grant Agreement (“FFGA”) with the FTA, with the potential for those construction expenditures to be treated as part of the local match required for future federal funding. On November 14, 2018, the FTA provided the LONP (“LONP1”), authorizing the Council to award its civil construction contract and to begin work under that contract, pursuant to a defined scope of work. This scope of work was expected to allow the Project to proceed with civil construction under a Limited Notice to Proceed (“LNTP”) to the contractor through the end of August 2019, by which time the Council expected that the Project would have received an FFGA. This LNTP authorized the contractor to perform work costing $216,000,000.
Resolution 18-0499, adopted on November 15, 2018, gave Hennepin County approval for the work and expenditure of the amounts authorized under LONP1. It also authorized negotiation of a new grant agreement (“the LNTP Grant Agreement”) to replace the amended CTIB Grant Agreement and to be the sole funding source for all Project activities through the end of August 2019. On the same day, HCRRA adopted Resolution 18-HCRRA-0056, likewise approving the work under LONP1, and likewise authorizing the negotiation of the LNTP Grant Agreement to replace the existing HCRRA grant agreement.
The LNTP Grant Agreement was then negotiated and executed, with a not to exceed amount of $434,901,943 in total funds from the County and HCRRA. The funded activities included the civil construction work authorized under LONP1, any pre-award activities requiring and receiving prior approval by the County and HCRRA Boards, and ongoing overhead expenses and other professional services related to the Project.
The LNTP Grant Agreement established a number of conditions on this funding. One such condition related to any future requests for Letters of No Prejudice from the FTA. Specifically, the LNTP Grant Agreement provides that “Grantor will only authorize Grant funds to be expended on LONP activities if Grantor has provided its prior approval for the submission of a request for a LONP to the FTA.”
Following the adoption of Resolutions 18-0499 and 18-HCRRA-0056, the Council awarded the civil construction contract to Lunda-McCrossan Joint Venture (“LMJV”). The Council provided LMJV the expected LNTP to perform work through August 29, 2019, and LMJV began work on the Project. As of the end of May 2019, the County and HCRRA have paid $16,658,389 for work performed by LMJV, out of a total contract amount of $799,514,338.22.
The Council now wishes to request another LONP (“LONP2”) from the FTA. The Council has determined that an FFGA will not be forthcoming prior to the end of August 2019, at which point the LNTP to the civil construction contractor will expire. The civil construction contractor is expected, by that point, to have completed the work authorized by LONP1. The Council wishes to give the civil construction contractor a second LNTP, so that it can continue working past August 2019, thereby avoiding a project shutdown and significant delays and cost increases. Receipt of LONP2 would ensure that the work under the second LNTP is eligible for federal match at such time as the FFGA is received. The additional work by the civil construction contractor to be authorized under LONP2 is further detailed in Exhibit A.
The Council also wishes to request a Letter of No Prejudice authorizing award of another major Project contract – the “systems” contract – and the commencement of work on that contract under an LNTP. A delay in proceeding with this contract would likewise lead to project delays and cost increases. The bids for the systems contract will be opened on June 6. If the Council receives a valid bid on that date, the Council would intend that LONP2 include the required authorizations for work under the systems contract, further detailed in Exhibit B.
This Resolution provides the County’s prior approval, as required by the LNTP Grant Agreement, for the Council’s submission of this request to the FTA. The first resolving clause authorizes the Council to request a Letter of No Prejudice for the civil construction contract. The second resolving clause authorizes the Council to request a Letter of No Prejudice for the systems contract. This Resolution provides authorization related to both contracts, regardless whether the requests are combined into a single submission to the FTA or submitted separately. The Council believes that the work proposed to be authorized for these two contracts will be completed by the end of March 2020.
Current Request: Approval of the submission to the Federal Transit Administration of a request for a Letter of No Prejudice for the Southwest LRT Project.
Impact/Outcomes: This Resolution will allow the Council to request a Letter of No Prejudice for the Southwest LRT Project from the Federal Transit Administration, which is required to ensure that Project expenditures past August 31, 2019, qualify for federal matching funds.


Texas Power Grid This week it broke another record as homes and businesses keep their air conditioners on alert for a scorching heat wave across the Lone Star State.
On Monday, Texas power demand was more than 76,600 megawatts, He broke the record last week More than 75,000 megawatts.
The Electrical Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which operates Texas Power Grid For more than 26 million customers – or about 90% of the state’s power load – they say it still has enough spare capacity to meet the growing demand. It had enough spare capacity to handle record demand just over a week ago.
Record-breaking is likely to continue this week with AccuWeather forecasting temperatures to exceed 100 degrees this week.
Demand is also likely to rise amid overall economic and population growth in Texas. ERCOT expects that new wind and solar power plants added over the past year will increase resources this summer to more than 91,300 megawatts. Texas produces more natural gas than any other state, According to EIAIt also responded to the historic 2021 freeze by adding natural gas and renewable generation capacity.
Energy prices at ERCOT North Hub – which includes Dallas – fell to a two-week low of $81 per megawatt-hour Tuesday – from $100 on Friday, Reuters reported.
One megawatt can power about 1,000 American homes in an “ordinary day.” But that number drops to about 200 on hot Texas summer days.

Corbyn: Labour's Brexit position not confusing
The Labour leader says he accepts the UK will leave the EU but he will not allow the country to "go off a cliff in March 2019".
Jeremy Corbyn has denied that Labour's position on Brexit is "confusing" as he ruled out support for a second referendum.
The Labour leader said his party accepted the UK was formally leaving the European Union but it would not allow the country to "go off a cliff in March 2019".
"Our position is that we are not advocating a second referendum," Mr Corbyn told the i newspaper.
"We have had a referendum which came to a decision. The negotiations are still ongoing, albeit well behind schedule, and we've set out the kind of relationship we want to have with Europe in the future."
On Labour's Brexit stance, Mr Corbyn said: "I don't think it's confusing.
"We are formally leaving the European Union of course - that is the position - (but we want to) develop a good economic relationship with Europe and recognise the interdependence of our industries."
The same unsuccessful amendment was opposed by two Labour MPs.
A group of 70 London-based Labour councillors also reportedly wrote a letter asking shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer to commit to provide the opportunity for "people to change their mind".
Lib Dem Brexit spokesman Tom Brake said Mr Corbyn's latest remarks showed Labour was "nailing (its) colours to the mast in support of hard Brexit".
"The party of opposition has again shirked their responsibility to oppose Theresa May's Government," he said.
Meanwhile, Mr Corbyn said he believes he can maintain momentum behind his party even if there is no general election until 2022.
"I've got loads of energy," he told the Independent.
"I'm fine. I eat porridge every morning. Porridge and energy bars and I keep off alcohol and meat."

A Tory MP has labelled the Government's attempts to write the Brexit date into UK law as "madness" - warning that it would increase the risk of Britain leaving the EU without a divorce deal.

Johnny Depp performed with the Black Keys at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards for the Keys' track "Gold on the Ceiling" on Sunday, June 3.
Depp was awarded the MTV Generation Award at the ceremony and was introduced by Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry.
"This is the get out of the business award. Based on watching all of those clips there is clearly something wrong with me," Depp quipped as he accepted the award.
After the performance, MTV News caught up with Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney to ask how they were feeling after the performance:
"Super normal, that's a normal moment for us," Auerbach joked. "Yeah that's our normal lives, hanging out with rock stars and movie stars, you know. It was actually a little boring."
"I was trying to hold back yawns," added Carney in jest.

LIFESTYLE: Healthy Cooking Class With LV
Earlier this week, I was invited along to a cooking class at the Smart Cookery School with LV who are promoting healthy living. I've called this post "Healthy Cooking Class" although it was more like - watch your healthy dinner be made and then eat it class. In my case, I was happy to just sit and watch since I was exhausted from my first day at work - as you can see in the photo, I look pretty lively haha. Although, in my opinion there were far too many people there for everyone to get a chance to cook, it was very crowded.
We started with Prawn or Courgette Skewers, of course I went for prawn since I love them, they were big and juicy and their thai flavours came through, all the lime reminded me of last summer!
Then we had an Asian noodle soup which was tasty, although the the dishes started off being filled to the top, piled high with noodles, and by the time they got to our end of the table there were scraps left and we ended up with half a bowl of soup with a couple of noodles floating about, again, I think there were just too many people there.
For the main we had Chicken or Chickpea curry with sticky rice. All the food tasted great so I definitely enjoyed the eating aspect!
Thanks LV for having me along!

Nov. 27, The Hamilton Spectator
Transportation: Alternatives required
widening of Highway 403 through Hamilton and Ancaster for the proposed
mid-peninsula corridor isn't our definition of responsible planning.
It's hard to imagine how such a concept can be treated seriously
given the formidable environmental and financial obstacles involved.
think of what Hamilton's panoramic western gateway would look like
after the 403 had been doubled to 12 lanes from six. Another 30
metres would have to be excavated from the face of the Niagara Escarpment.
Part of Cootes Paradise would in all likelihood have to be filled
in. The bridges on King and Main streets over the 403 would require
rebuilding. Chedoke Golf Course and the Desjardins Canal would be
negatively impacted. The project would be devastating for Hamilton's
image and its hopes of building a reputation as a city that cares
about sustainable planning.
403 idea is so far-fetched, and problematic, as to be a non-starter.
Hamilton city council should not hesitate to say so. As much as
councillors see the mid-peninsula project as important to Hamilton's
growth, they should draw the line at a concept that would almost
certainly ignite tremendous -- and well-founded -- opposition among
concerned citizens. Opposition began to mobilize as soon as the
idea was unveiled, and the government should listen. There are better
ways to use scarce public funds than to waste time and money on
a proposal whose feasibility is openly questioned by transportation
ministry officials and senior city planners. The government could
do taxpayers a favour by shelving its full evaluation of the "environmental,
economic and social impact" of the 403 alternative.
403 idea is so dubious that it begs the question of why it's being
included in what the government is portraying as a broadening of
studies into the mid-peninsula corridor. We suspect, as Burlington
councillors do, that opposition to the much-debated idea of building
the superhighway around the urban periphery of Hamilton and across
north Burlington to Highway 407 is at play. It would be politically
expedient, to put it mildly, if the ministry were to use the 403
option as a straw man in order to make the 407 route appear more
palatable in comparison. If that proves to be the case, the government
can brace for more criticism.
ministry is at least including the alternative of connecting the
mid-peninsula corridor to Highway 401, west of the escarpment. If
the corridor is inevitable, this option merits evaluation. Nonetheless
we share the concern of Burlington Mayor Rob MacIsaac and other
observers who believe the ministry should slow down and study overall
transportation in Hamilton/Burlington, with more emphasis on "smart
growth" alternatives such as upgrading GO Transit and improving
the existing road network.
wide-ranging consultation exercise would be much better received
than evaluating an ill-conceived, undesirable and highly unlikely
12-lane Highway 403.

Gel blasters are becoming popular with more individuals wanting to join this sport. The game is rather simple, but you need to research on the details of the gear, best practices, etc. There are even some unwritten rules to know. If you are new to buying gel blasters, the following can help you out:
Variety of equipment
Gel blasters are available in different types. You can get rifles, shotguns, pistols, SMGs, as well as machine guns. If you are aiming to get the perfect first gun, you may be confused with the wide variety of information on these.
Think about the type of gun to get and then look at the different brands which offer the best guns. You need to remember that the first gun you get may not be perfect, as you are new to the game. You will probably require time to find the best one for you.
Take care of the equipment
If you want your gear to last, you need to take care of it. You must carefully store the batteries and employ quality chargers so that they last.
Gel blaster appear similar to proper guns, however, they will not be as resistant to adverse conditions. You need to carefully search for the best places to get the gear from. For instance, you can search for gel blaster ammo in Australia or the place you are in so that you can find the best.
The ammo tends to be cheap but the kind of gel ball that you get matters when it comes to blaster performance. If you want the blaster to fire 220-260 feet per second, you should consider getting medium-strength gel balls. When firing above 280 FPS, get the super hard/extreme gel balls.
Do not get confused about accessories
Beginners often feel tempted to try out different accessories. Plate carriers, combat belts, as well as costly G2 uniform clones are some items that you will find. However do not try and built the perfect kit immediately. It may be a better idea to build the kit slowly as you learn the sport.
Set a budget
Gel blasters range dramatically when it comes to their price. There are different factors that contribute to this. You should keep in mind that retailers try and maximize profits. The descriptions of the products are going to make the particular product seem amazing. You also need to know that everyone’s preferences tend to be different. You should set the right budget so that you can get a good kit for yourself.
There are many points to keep in mind when buying a gel blaster. It is important to know what you want so that you can get the right stuff. Research the variety of equipment available so that you do not make a wrong decision. You will be investing in this stuff and you will definability want it to be the best. Compare prices of different sellers if you want to get the best deal.

Chris brings with him over 25 years’ experience in the information assurance and security domain and is currently working at C-Suite level leading with several cyber, information protection and resilience challenges.
In his role as advisor to the KCS Group Europe team, Chris will specifically support our Cyber Team to raise awareness of current trends and appropriate steps that can be taken, in the areas of cyber security and cyber risk prevention and mitigation.
