Having never been to a Fan Club show, I didn’t know what to expect from the Saturday’s Tilly and the Wall concert at the Alice Cook House. Holding a concert in a dining hall seemed a bit weird to me, but somehow, everything just fit together perfectly.
Despite starting late, which I probably should have expected since the show was slated to start at 9:00 even though Cook’s dining hall closes at 8:30, the members of Fan Club managed to put on a very professional show. They transformed Cook into something that actually could have been a real venue, with a professional lighting rig, huge speakers and an impressively large (and excited) crowd.
The most important part, however, was the music. Fan Club brought three very different performers: two virtually unknown openers, Golden Shoulders and Devin Davis and the headliners, Tilly and the Wall.
Golden Shoulders, a guitar and banjo/tambourine-playing duo from California, started the show, and while nearly the entire crowd sat through their set (which I found somewhat surprising), the audience seemed to enjoy their folk sound. When I think of Fan Club’s musical taste, I don’t picture something that I would hear in a coffee shop, but Golden Shoulders was exactly that.
Their songs were surprisingly catchy, and they had an entertaining (and quirky) stage presence, joking with the crowd while fixing their guitar troubles and ending their set with a humorous cover song. Their set progressively improved as they seemed to become more comfortable with the crowd, and their penultimate song (an upbeat anthem about joining the protest) was by far the highlight of the performance.
Devin Davis, a singer-songwriter, followed, and he proved to be equally as enjoyable. The crowd seemed to be getting more anxious for Tilly’s performance and actually stood and danced around during Davis’ set. The highlight of his set was his looping, a technique in which he played assorted instruments such as guitar and drums as well as records, and replayed them on stage in order to create a layered sound in his one-man performance.
Both of the openers gave fantastic performances and, in fact, my only complaint about this portion of the concert regarded the crowd. I know it can be hard to really enjoy someone’s set when you know none of their songs, but in a venue as small as Cook’s dining hall, it is kind of obnoxious (and frustrating to the performers and the rest of the audience) for people in the crowd to hold loud conversations during the entire performance. That has always been one of my concert-going pet peeves, and since it was particularly evident Saturday night, it kind of detracted from the show.
Luckily, the excessive talking finally stopped when Tilly and the Wall’s set began. Tilly’s poppy, upbeat performance was simply exciting. I have never seen so many people in the audience dance in such an animated way during a concert, and honestly, if I had any rhythm at all, I would have found it hard not to join them because Tilly’s music had such a fun sound.
Tilly and the Wall is a five-member band, with a guitar player, a keyboard player, two tap-dancing vocalists and an additional tap dancer. Their dancing serves as their percussion, which makes for a very high-energy show. However, to really appreciate the performance, you need to be able to see the stage, which was a slight problem. Cook’s stage is very low to the ground, making it hard to see the tap dancing, but the show was so full of energy that no one really seemed to mind (and a lot of the people even stood on chairs to gain a better perspective).
In regard to the music, I was impressed with how the band blended its upbeat, high-energy songs like “Rainbows in the Dark” and “You and I Misbehaving” with more mellow ones, such as “Slow Song.” They knew exactly when to calm things down to prevent the show from becoming dull.
Also, I found it surprising how talented Tilly and the Wall actually were. Sure, plenty of bands have catchy songs, but how many of their lead singers can actually sing? And how many of those do you think could tap dance at the same time? Actually, how many could tap dance in general?
Overall, with its tap dancing, talented musicians and catchy songs, the concert was amazing, and in all honesty, the band’s performance needs to be experienced because words just don’t do it justice.

On August 4th, Huawei released HarmonyOS 4, which includes added features such as personalized space, various productivity tools, and an AI assistant for smartphones called “Xiao Yi” with significantly improved intelligence.
1.Xiaoyi AI Upgrade
Richard Yu, a Huawei executive who took the stage first at the press conference, said that Xiaoyi, the AI assistant built into HarmonyOS, will be empowered by the underlying capabilities of PanGu’s large model. It will provide assistance to users in knowledge acquisition, logical reasoning, task planning, memory expansion, tool utilization, and creative support.
Due to being based on a large language model, Xiaoyi can understand complex languages and complete many tasks according to the user’s needs, such as extracting core summaries from documents and scheduling appointments.
At the same time, Huawei also promises that the new Xiaoyi will be a “more responsible AI”, prioritizing security and privacy protection as its first principle, ensuring that AI serves as an assistant rather than a replacement, bringing about enhanced experiences rather than fabrications.
This fashion catalog has added an AI feature that allows you to select portrait or pet photos in the album and choose corresponding theme styles. With HarmonyOS 4, it can automatically complete tasks such as image cropping and theme design, transforming your photos into stunning wallpapers in seconds.
In addition, HarmonyOS 4 has upgraded and enriched the existing Emoji system. Currently, there are 12 major categories including sports, people, animals, etc., with over 1800 compatible expressions. With the rich Emoji system, users can create personalized mood wallpapers.
There is also a panoramic weather theme, where the wallpaper can automatically switch between 3 different perspectives of weather images based on the current weather and how the user holds their phone.
The new notification center has abandoned the traditional logic of sorting by time and instead classified notifications based on their importance. Live updates, social communications, and other important notifications are prioritized at the top, while marketing information is displayed in a unified area to reduce user distractions. This makes it easier for users to find the most important notification among many others.
In addition, the newly added live window feature can aggregate multiple notifications from the same application into a single dynamic card and present them in a timeline format. For example, for food delivery apps, it can display real-time statuses such as “preparing order”, “ready for pickup”, and “delivered”, avoiding notification overload.
And this feature can not only be used on mobile phones, but also on smartwatches equipped with HarmonyOS 4 called “Xianyue Window”. It allows you to view real-time flight information, food delivery progress, schedule and more.
At this press conference, Huawei also introduced a new short-range wireless connection technology called NearLink.
According to Huawei’s introduction, NearLink combines the advantages of traditional wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and WiFi into one standard set, resulting in significantly improved performance. Compared to traditional wireless connections, NearLink reduces power consumption by 60%, increases data transmission rate by 6 times, reduces latency to 1/30th, and supports up to 10 times more connections.
According to Huawei’s official introduction, HarmonyOS 4 has made further advancements in application ecology, with the new Huawei Ark Compiler engine, which can improve performance by 20% and increase battery life by 30 minutes.
In addition, HarmonyOS 4 provides a smooth user experience in graphics, multimedia, memory management, scheduling, storage, low power consumption, and various devices. The launch and usage speed of commonly used apps such as Alipay, Amap, and Xiaohongshu will be enhanced.
6.Privacy Security and Digital Care
In this HarmonyOS 4 update, the application control center has been further enhanced to provide users with a more secure operating environment.
When users install applications, HarmonyOS 4 will automatically add risky apps to the application control center and restrict their access to sensitive data and pop-ups. If any risky behavior is detected while an app is running, the application control center will proactively intercept it and prevent associated app launches.
In terms of teenage mobile phone usage, HarmonyOS 4 provides child remote guardianship function to help parents remotely monitor their children’s current device usage status. It supports controlling multiple Huawei devices such as smartphones and tablets.
In recent years, there has been increasing attention on digital inheritance. HarmonyOS 4 also offers its own solution by introducing the digital asset inheritance feature to meet the needs of managing digital legacies for deceased or living users. The inheritor can flexibly set the scope of inheritance, specifying what can be inherited and what cannot.

When a pastor targeted by President Donald Trump in a tweet started catching flak, he posted a thoughtful response to it all.
What should a pastor targeted by a negative presidential tweet do?
One pastor came up with a worthy response.
It all started, according to The Washington Post, when President Donald Trump posted a tweet criticizing Jonathan Karl and ABC News. Trump took apparent offense over a report from Karl about Hurricane Dorian.
You probably know there has been an ongoing battle over whether Dorian ever threatened Alabama. Trump even tweeted the original forecast to prove his point.
While Alabama appeared in initial forecasts, it fell out of the “cone of uncertainty” well ahead of reaching the United States. That’s pretty much the way every single tropical projection works. Things change. And forecast tracks change.
In any case, Trump tweeted his criticism of Karl and ABC.
But that’s not the original post. Trump apparently deleted it after pastor Jonathan Carl posted an open letter. Carl shared a screengrab of the original tweet with the Washington Post.
He responded with an open letter published on his own site. He calls himself, in the title, “a casualty” of Trump’s “Drive-By Tweeting War.”
“Although I was an accidental casualty caught in the cross-fire of your ‘lightweight’ tweet, your attack was very purposeful and hurtful,” he wrote. And he added quotations from another president, Abraham Lincoln.
He dispensed five pieces of advice, ending each one with a Lincoln quote.
The best piece of advice suggested that the president should be humble:
You called an experienced reporter a “lightweight.” Let’s be honest, you are a lightweight too. We all are. God is the only heavyweight who knows it all and gets it right all the time.
Christians should appreciate that, no matter which political side they claim.
I suspect many do, though, unfortunately, many may not choose to admit it just now.

‘Photography through a different lens’
Diagnosed with mental illness at an early age, one of the challenges I face is connecting. I see the world through a different lens and think differently, more in images and colors. I was eight when I picked up my first camera, looked through the viewfinder, and found my passion. I also found connection.
Though it took a while, I followed my grandfather’s advice: find your passion and make a career of it. I love photography. I love capturing a moment, a truth, an emotion, and sharing it with others. I love making permanent those beautiful, fleeting, magical moments. Photographs are a tangible memory.
I want to provide people with the joy, comfort, and laughter that great photos can evoke. I also want my work to illuminate another side of mental illness not often portrayed in the media – overcoming its challenges to find and express my purpose.
My prices are affordable so every family can have quality portraits to capture the magic moments and milestones in their lives. I specialize in family portraits, head shots, and pet portraits, done entirely on location. I also shoot behind-the-scene and production stills for film projects.

Daisy Ridley has revealed how she felt watching “upsetting” scenes of herself with Carrie Fisher in Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker.
The film brings to an end the Skywalker saga and uses footage of the actress, who died in 2016, as General Leia Organa which was shot during previous instalment The Force Awakens.
Ridley told the PA news agency: “There is one scene that I still find upsetting.
“I’ve now seen the film three times, because last night I wanted to be with my family and watch it, so the one scene where I’m saying goodbye to her before we go off on our adventure, that was really hard to film because I knew what you were seeing and also all of the implications of what that means in the film, so it’s still hard watching that.
“The others you take a step back so it feels a bit more removed, but it’s still strange.”
Discussing how it felt to wrap the final film in the trilogy, she said: “It was so emotional at the end.
“It’s everyone on set and all of the cast but also my driver Lee, who was the first person and the last person to see me every day for seven months, and then Flora, my hair and make up artist, who was the next person, and Callie, my costumier, who was the next.
“So it was so many people within that circle who are also your emotional support on set as well, and they were all here last night so it’s a lot to process.
“Also it was six years, it’s going to take a while, especially because I’m 27.
“So six years out of that is quite a big amount of time and also early 20s is such a weird time anyway, I just feel like I’m really finding my feet and I’m like ‘Oh ok it’s over. Bye Rey’.
“I just feel happy with what I did, please come back!”
Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker is out now.

- PDF: Special Judge James "Buddy" Scott's instructions to the jury in the Clifford Leon Houston murder trial
KINGSTON - The wait might end today, but the story won't.
Twelve men and women will report back to Roane County Circuit Court this morning for a second day of deliberations in the trial of Clifford Leon Houston, charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the shoot-out that killed a Roane County Sheriff's Office deputy and his ride-along friend two years ago.
Special Judge James "Buddy" Scott sent the jury members home Saturday when they hadn't reached a verdict by 5 p.m. They'll continue sorting through about 220 exhibits today and rehashing the testimony of the 30 witnesses they've heard over the past two weeks.
A guilty verdict for Houston, 49, could mean life in prison.
Whatever the jury's decision, the case won't be over. Houston's younger brother Rocky Joe faces a trial on the same charges in November.
Jurors asked their first question just half an hour into deliberations Saturday morning. They wanted - and got - a ruler, an easel and masking tape.
Such tools would come in handy for a closer look at the scale drawings and diagrams of the spot in front of Leon Houston's home on Barnard Narrows Road south of the Tennessee River where Deputy William Birl Jones, 53, and his longtime friend, 44-year-old former police officer Gerald Michael Brown, died May 11, 2006.
Special prosecutor Gus Radford and defense lawyer Jim Logan each told the jury the day before that the evidence plotted in those diagrams - shell casings, bullets and impact points - held the final answer to what happened the day of the shooting.
Jurors asked their second question about an hour before going home. They wanted to know more about the definition of unlawful killing, which is the first element necessary to prove anything from the prosecution's claim of first-degree murder to felony murder or lesser crimes from second-degree murder to criminally negligent homicide.
The judge said he's given them all the advice on the law he can.
"These instructions must be considered as a whole and in harmony," he said. "Your answer must come from the instructions previously given."
That leaves the jury of six men and six women on its own to decide whether the Houston brothers, famous for their claims of government conspiracies and police harassment, ambushed Jones and Brown or jumped up from a supper of Vienna sausages, canned peaches and chocolate milk to shoot back in self-defense.
Leon Houston fired eight shots in the gunfight, but ballistics tests indicate Rocky Houston fired all the fatal shots from a semiautomatic rifle. Two witnesses testified the first shots came from Jones' police car as Leon Houston stood on the porch empty-handed, but prosecutors say the eight bullets he fired from behind a bush in the front yard prove an ambush in cold blood.
The jury could find Leon Houston's shots prove he took part knowingly and willingly in the men's deaths. They could decide he helped Rocky Houston kill Jones and Brown but doesn't bear full responsibility. They could also decide he got caught, as the defense says, in the middle of a shoot-out he didn't start.
"You are the exclusive judges of the facts in this case," the judge told jurors before deliberations began.
A ringing cell phone interrupted the judge twice while he instructed them on the law. The phone belonged to a woman on the jury.
Roane County Sheriff Jack Stockton confiscated the phone and silenced it.
Leon Houston spent most of the day at the defense table, sometimes waving or smiling at family members and friends gathered behind him. He picked up the day's edition of the News Sentinel once to read the story on his trial.
Brown's and Jones' families sat just across the aisle.
The judge stepped up security for deliberations and said he'll tolerate no outbursts when the jury announces its decision.

Anguilla - Profile
- Anguilla is a self-governing British Overseas Territory, and the most northerly island of the Leeward Island chain. Nearest neigbour to the south is St. Martin/Sint Maarten.
- The main attraction of Anguilla is the fact that the changes that have occurred elsewhere have largely left Anguilla untouched. There are several delightful bays both on the south and north coasts of Anguilla, while those in search of blissful solitude can do no better than Scrub Island, off the north east end, and Dog Island, north of Anguilla.
- Anguilla is noted for its ecologically important coral reefs, as well as its spectacular beaches.
- Yachting facilities are very basic and for any major repairs it is currently necessary to go to neighbouring St Martin. A new marina planned for Gull Pond, Shoal Bay West may change this.
- Sadly, many cruisers are deterred from visiting the country due to the high cost of a cruising permit required to visit anywhere but Road Bay.
Based on reports to Noonsite from cruisers, petty theft from yachts is on the rise in the Caribbean in general. Cruisers should take basic safety precautions and use common sense when leaving the boat or going ashore at night. Dinghy thieves operate throughout the Caribbean and best advice is to place your dinghy on deck and chain it overnight.
The Caribbean Safety and Security Net (firstname.lastname@example.org) provides information by anchorage or by island, so sailors can plan their cruising in the Caribbean with an eye to appropriate behaviour and precautions wherever they decide to go. Should you have suffered a boarding, robbery or attack on your yacht or have information about a yachting-related security incident, go to the CSSN homepage and click on the "Report an Incident" icon. The associated form is quick and simple to complete and ensures that all the necessary details are reported. The CSSN is the most comprehensive source of Caribbean security incidents against sailors. Remember, it is every cruiser's responsibility to ensure that incidents are reported. Also cruisers can subscribe to e-mail alerts, follow on facebook and twitter and listen to the SSB Voice Service.
The Caribbean Security Index (CSI) is a a tool to assist cruisers in assessing the probability of crime at ports and anchorages throughout the Caribbean. The CSI provides a means of assessing risk in a given area.

4 Curve team for no-hitter
From Mirror reports
MANCHESTER, N.H. -Once in every 1,040 games. Twice in 2,081 games.
For the second time in franchise history in game No. 2,081, Curve pitchers combined for a no-hitter.
Utilizing the arms of Ethan Hollingsworth, Jason Townsend, Jhonathan Ramos and Ryan Beckman, Altoona pitchers didn’t allow a hit as the Curve beat New Hampshire, 5-0, at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium in front of 5,322.
“I just told them, ‘You know what I’ve been in a lot of clubhouses,” Curve manager Carlos Garcia said. “‘I’ve been with all-stars, playing with Hall-of-Famers, and I’ve played with guys who have been in the big leagues for over 20 years, and they never have the opportunity to enjoy something so remarkable that we just did tonight.'”
The first no-hitter in Curve history came on April 23, 2002 when Adrian Burnside, Neal McDade and Chris Spurling beat Akron, 2-0. Burnside allowed six walks in that game.
On Thursday, Hollingsworth hit former major leaguer Adam Loewen in the fourth, and Townsend walked Brian Van Kirk in the sixth inning. Those were the only two baserunners that the Curve allowed.
Hollingsworth pitched the first four innings, Townsend pitched through the seventh, Ramos the eighth and Beckman in ninth. The quartet only struck four batters, anf Hollingsworth recorded two of those.
The game ended when Andy Burns grounded out to third baseman Adalberto Santos.
Garcia said he knew his team could do it after Jarek Cunningham made a leaping catch in the seventh inning that kept the no-hitter going.
“At that point, winning the game was a priority, but giving up the base hit, it was even a bigger priority,” he said.
Gregory Polanco, who was a triple shy of the cycle, homered in the first inning, and the Curve added three runs in the fourth inning.
Other than the play by Cunningham, the Curve didn’t have any other close calls in the field. Several Fisher Cats missed putting the ball fair a few times.
“It was pure enjoyment,” Garcia said. “There was a lot of a lot of congratulations with each other, defense, offense and pitchers. The pen was absolute outstanding today. It was like we had won the World Series.”
The bullpen pitched five of the innings for the Curve. Since the All-Star break, it has allowed just five earned runs in 45 2/3 innings.
“I was thinking about leaving Ramos in there, but when I saw all the right-handers coming, I said ‘You know what, I’m going to try to get this for them,'” Garcia said. “That was it. I brought in Beckman. He did the job. I just sat back and watched him get the three outs. That was awesome. That was exciting to see those kids being happy, jumping around. “
Garcia had come close to seeing one before – once as player and once when he was in Seattle as a third base coach. He had even broken one up in 1994 for against the Expos. But Thursday’s was the first one he had seen.
“I’ve never seen one. Today is my first one. Thank God.”
Key player: RHP Ryan Beckman got the final three outs in the ninth.
Key play: Andy Burns grounded out for the final out of the game.
Key stat: It was the first no-hitter since April 23, 2002 and the second in Curve history.
How they scored
Top 1st: Polanco homered (1-0).
Top 4th: Cunningham doubled, scored on Maggi single (2-0); Tejeda singled, Maggi singled, scored on Santos single (4-0).

Calnetix’s core technology has enabled many of the power and thermal management systems, such as air cycle systems (environmental controls) and vapor cycle systems, in military and commercial aircraft and in satellite and space missions. Calnetix’s high-performance motors can utilize conventional bearings or our proprietary magnetic bearings. These systems are highly optimized and suited for airborne and space applications due to their small-size, high efficiency, high reliability, variable speed and high torque capabilities. Motors that utilize magnetic bearings also benefit from increased mean time between failure (MTBF), maintenance-free operation, reduced noise and the ability to reach high rotational speeds.
With the push for electrification across the aircraft industry, Calnetix is leading the charge on the development of flight worthy generators for both fixed and rotary wing applications. Calnetix has the capability to provide system level solutions for electronic auxiliary power units (APUs), starter generators, integrated drive generators, recuperators, alternators as well as variable speed constant frequency solutions. With our portfolio of protected and proven technology, Calnetix is capable of meeting any power generation and distribution system challenges or requirements.
More electric aircraft architectures require additional cooling of electronics and power equipment, and require the transition from traditional hydraulic or pneumatic systems to electrically powered systems. Variable speed electric pumps for applications, such as liquid cooling loops, environmental control systems, electro-hydraulics or fuel pumping can all leverage Calnetix high speed motor and controller technologies. High-speed, high performance pumps reduce size and weight of related components and increase system efficiency.
Calnetix Defense & Aerospace worked with NASA to design a next-generation blower for a CO2 removal system, which was successfully installed on the International Space Station (ISS) after completing ground testing. The magnetically levitated blower motor system is providing the airflow for the Four Bed Carbon Dioxide Scrubber (FBCO2) system in a microgravity space environment and has been operating continuously since February 22nd, 2023.
Calnetix’s ISS blower motor system includes a compact in-line blower on magnetic bearings, called Momentum™, and an integrated hybrid dual controller, called Continuum™, to drive the blower. The high-speed blower consists of a centrally located five-axis Powerflux™ AMB system, backup bearings, an overhung Magnaforce ™ permanent magnet motor and a centrifugal impeller in a very compact package. The magnetic bearings were chosen over conventional bearings to significantly increase the performance, reliability and lifespan of the system due to its frictionless operation. It fits into the same length, width and height envelope as the foil-bearing supported blower which it is replacing. Read the detailed case study here.

Is building an AR from scratch extremely difficult, or does it just require patience, common sense, and ability to follow directions?
I don't have one yet, and have been trying to decide whether to buy parts to keep swapping out a .223 AR, buy a completed 9mm like Bushmaster's Carbon 15, or build a unit from scratch. (I'm just now exploring/entering the AR world. Don't have anything yet, but researching for first .223, as well as a 9mm to save $ for practice.)
I could provide cost to you but it would not be fair because I get everything at dealer cost. But if you go around and google and price all of the items I listed on my post and also include the cost of magazines and the lower reciever and lower receiver parts...as well as butt stock, pistol grip and rail pannels. You will get an idea of what it costs to build it.
Having said that, I do NOT suggest that you make your first build as a 9mm. They are largely custom jobs and take a little bit of fitting and tuning in order to get them to run perfectly. They can be problematic if you do not buy them as complete builds.
I made my selections based upon the following...in order of importance:
1. Durability and Reliability
I already had a Colt Match Target lower with large hammer/trigger pins. So I used that in my build. I knew I would need a DPMS type (neutered M16 hammer) because I wanted to get the bolt ramped for less wear on my lower receiver parts. So I had to go to www.m60joe.com
and get a large pin DPMS type hammer from him.
Then I had to decide on what mag block to get. Bolt hold open was a MUST for me so I went with Rock River. Cproducts has a new one that is just as good but it was not out yet at the time.
I got my bolt and other 9mm specific parts from the RRA web site. They are also one of the only carriers of the 9mm Gas Buster charging handle. The standard Gas Buster is not compatible with a 9mm bolt.
I chose the Yankee Hill light weight rail because the suppressor would fit inside of it and also because it is not expensive....and is very light.
I chose the Troy iron sights because they can be had in dark earth and are very low profile. They are expensive though.
I chose Magpul furniture because I like it and we are a Magpul dealer so...duh.
The Tango Down stubby forward grip is far cheaper than the LaRue FUG and comes in matching dark earth. I like the stubby because it works better for a CQB weapon.
I have Cproducts magazines as well as Promag magazines. Both work very well. Promag are synthetic, match color and are light...and cheap.
The TROS 5" barrel was chosen because of quality and the 3-lug feature. I wanted a pistol length barrel that has the 3 lug feature for my suppressor so that I would not have to worry about always having to check the tightness of the suppressor on a threaded barrel. Also the quick detach is nice.
The Aimpoint CompM2 was chosen because I hate the EOTech's shitty battery life.
I used the A.R.M.S. cantilever because a reflex sight is supposed to be far forward, not back by your face.
Hope this answers your questions.

The Rebels' Secret Weapons
Shellback is the pseudonym of someone who started working for a NATO military structure in the Brezhnev years. He does not think that the Cold War was so much fun that we should try to repeat it.
The two decisive weapons of this war that have given victory to the rebels are the MANPADS (MAN Portable Air Defence System) and the Grad (“hail” in Russian).
Kiev had, at the beginning, complete air superiority; it may not have had very many helicopters and ground-attack fixed wing, but it had all that there were. Against these the rebels had stocks of the SA-7 shoulder-fired missile. Like many Soviet weapons it was modified and improved in incremental steps over its service life since the 1970s and produced in quite large numbers. It has an infra-red guidance system and is shoulder-fired. Like most weapons of this type, it is most effective against aircraft that are actually attacking the firer, ie when the angular momentum of the aircraft is low. According to this site, quoting the Kiev Post, Kiev lost ten helicopters and nine fixed-wing aircraft. The true number is likely higher but the point is that this weapon system effectively nullified the air superiority that the Kiev regime had; they either destroyed the aircraft or forced them to fly higher and faster and therefore be less effective. These weapons made the war into a ground war.
The real destruction of the Kiev forces – Ukraine President Poroshenko says two thirds of Ukraine’s military equipment was lost – was carried out by the BM-21 Grad MLRS. Another weapon system from decades ago, the Grad is a truck with 40 122mm rockets tubes at the rear. Not particularly accurate – it is what is known as an “area weapon” – the fact that all 40 rockets can be fired in 20 seconds means that after a few ranging rounds a terrifying amount of explosive can be delivered very quickly. Here are a lot of them firing in a demonstration. Here are some videos from the fighting in Ukraine. Grads firing at night – we see the ranging rounds and then the full salvo from two. Grad hits on the horizon. Ditto. This is what remains after a strike.

Oakland County Republican Party awards scholarships to local high school students
The Oakland County Republican Party announced the awarding of $2,500 in scholarships to exceptional students as part of the 2017 Lincoln Scholarship Program.
The 2017 Lincoln Scholarship Program challenged local high school, college and vocational students to exemplify values which “Make America Great” in an essay or other creative work.
Out of a large pool of applicants, three students were selected to receive awards based exclusively on the excellent quality of their work.
Molly Wagner, a 2017 graduate of Shrine Catholic High School in Royal Oak, was selected as the first-place $1000 Lincoln Scholarship winner. She plans to begin her studies at Grand Valley State University this fall, majoring in journalism.
Aubreigh Wachowski, a 2017 summa cum laude graduate of Troy Athens High School, received the second-place $500 Lincoln Scholarship award. She plans to continue her studies this fall at Grand Valley State University, majoring in business.
Cory Dubin’s exceptionally written poem titled “The Great Fight” earned him the prestigious $1,000 Pam Williams Memorial Award. Dubin, a 2017 graduate of Lakeland High School, plans to pursue a political science major at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
The Pam Williams Memorial Award recognizes exceptionally written submissions in honor of the late Pam Williams, former Oakland County Republican Party secretary and lifelong educator.
Scholarship finalists were honored June 19 at the 128th annual Oakland County Lincoln Day Dinner.
“We’re very excited to recognize and assist these exceptional students in their pursuit of higher education. Molly, Aubreigh and Cory represent the future leaders of our community and we remain committed to creating opportunities to better the lives of future generations of Americans,” said Paul Stephens, youth chair of the Oakland County Republican Party.

Nvidia backs Electronic Sports World Cup
Graphics technology manufacturer Nvidia have today confirmed a partnership with European events organiser Ligarena, which will see the emergence of the Electronic Sports World Cup, a grand tournament which will feature gamers battling out for supremacy on a number of titles: Counter-Strike, Warcraft 3, Pro Evolution Soccer 3, and Quake 3 Arena.
The finals will be held at Futuroscope in Poitiers, France, with over 500 contestants participating having won through from 40 national qualifiers. No specific prizes have been confirmed, though last year category winners did walk away with between $10,000 and $20,000; which isn't bad for playing a few games, right?
"Gaming tournaments are rapidly growing in popularity and gathering increasing numbers of enthusiasts from across the world," enthused Nvidia's Alain Tiquet. "We're happy we can sponsor the ESWC to further promote our 'The Way It's Meant to be Played' program and give the tournament participants access to the most stable and compatible gaming platform on the market."

Perth, Australia — (METERING.COM) — June 17, 2008 – Prepayment, or pay-as-you-go meters, are being trialed in several communities in Western Australia, and reactions to the new system are mixed.
The Western Australia Office of Energy is positive about the concept, saying that it offers an option to those families who have difficulty meeting their obligations to pay for energy use monthly. A prepayment meter also allows the cost of power to be shared among family members.
However, the state’s Council of Social Services believes the meters have been introduced to target the poorer families who are behind on their monthly payments. The Council believes that there will be less opportunity to work with customers to solve their cash flow problems when they are no longer receiving monthly bills. In addition it holds that electricity is an essential service, and is concerned that families will be disadvantaged because the meters stop supplying power when the credit has been used up.
Local government is investigating the results of the trials and talking to customers who had prepayment meters installed to establish whether the system should be introduced more widely.

Craig Moore reports on ‘Hemlock III’, an original M24 Chaffee tank brought back to life after years of disrepair
Following the end of World War Two, this M24 Chaffee tank saw extensive service with the Danish Army. When the vehicle was eventually replaced by a more modern tank, it spent many years on a concrete plinth as a gate guardian in Denmark. Unfortunately, all the belly plate drain plugs were left in – the normal practice is to remove them so that any water ingress can drain away. After a while, tanks will inevitably let in water as rubber seals perish. For many years though, with water unable to drain away, this tank was filled to a depth of around two feet – covering the floor ammo racks.
Eventually, the vehicle was purchased from the Danish army by a private collector and was shipped to the UK – subsequently being stored on a driveway in Watford. In 2016 it was sold to military vehicle enthusiast and collector William Bannister, along with a substantial amount of spares for restoration. He commissioned Gavin Barlow and his team at Armoured Engineering Ltd to conduct an extensive internal and external restoration.

Brexit is done and also it will never be done. Rishi Sunak’s deal to fix the Northern Ireland protocol ends a process that is only beginning. If that sounds paradoxical it is because British politics uses the B-word to describe many things, or rather it confuses different things by pretending they are one.
Brexit was an insurrection against the status quo and a promise to upend the established ways of Westminster government. But Brexit is also a technical project and a diplomatic minefield that can’t be navigated without those old skills of establishment statecraft.
Sunak voted leave in 2016, but he was not a devotee of the vandal cult that can only see a glowing future for Britain when bridges to Europe are burning. He was a hobbyist Eurosceptic backbencher who got mugged by economic reality when he became chancellor. It is impossible to sit in the Treasury without coming to a rational understanding that the national interest demands harmonious relations with Brussels.
Selling his deal yesterday, Sunak even boasted that Northern Ireland enjoyed a “very special position” in the EU single market, and that this privilege made it a magnet for investment. By celebrating the residual benefit of membership for one nation of the United Kingdom, he concedes the cost incurred by exclusion of the other three.
This is the bitter contradiction and the absurdity that has defined British politics since the referendum. The only way to handle Brexit without economic arson and diplomatic isolation is to think like a remainer.
It was a point made unsubtly by Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, when she attributed the breakthrough in talks to “honesty” and “goodwill” made possible by “a constructive attitude from the very beginning”. The beginning, that is, of the Sunakian era, in contrast to the age of Johnson (and the brief tribulation of Truss).
Von der Leyen’s praise for “dear Rishi” would once have been poison in Conservative ears – proof that the prime minister had been captured. Brexit, in its most ideological conception, is a zero-sum game in which the European Commission is only happy if Britain has been diddled out of sovereignty.
That attitude still prevails among many Tory MPs but it competes with fatigue and an instinct for electoral self-preservation. There is no appetite among voters for the re-enactment of Brexit wars, especially when the terrain of battle is so small – a scrap of European court jurisdiction under a mound of procedural safeguards in Northern Ireland.
Some Tories have committed themselves so completely to the sovereignty crusade that they find it hard to imagine life without the struggle. Others are hooked on the media limelight that falls on self-appointed arbiters of Brexit virtue. In what other field could David Frost or Jacob Rees-Mogg have risen to be men of consequence?
But even the fundamentalists have been disoriented by the quality of concession that Sunak won for his “Windsor framework”. The “Stormont brake” allows for a unilateral UK halt to the application of European regulation in Northern Ireland. It is a complex trigger, carefully designed to resist pulling by itchy Eurosceptic fingers, but it is still a departure from previous EU positions. It rewards the expectation of proportionality and good faith in future relations that Sunak brought to the table. It is the trust dividend, and a repudiation of the Johnson school of negotiation, according to which Europeans only yield to swagger and threat.
In making the case for engagement and compromise, Sunak finds himself in closer alignment with Keir Starmer than with his two Tory predecessors. Both leaders have an interest in Brexit drifting to the margins of political debate, as a matter of boring consensus. Any discussion of Europe brings the Tories out in a rash of division and disloyalty. There is no Brexit position that can satisfy Labour’s liberal remainer base without repelling the leave voters on whom a majority depends. So Starmer and Sunak collude in the fiction that, this time, Brexit really is done.
In reality, the benefit of the new framework consists in resetting relations for rolling talks to tie up loose ends on all kinds of issues – energy, fish, financial services, electric cars, chemicals. The whole edifice of trade cooperation is up for review in 2025.
Brexit as management of a relationship is, by definition, never done. But Brexitism as the doctrine of national renaissance through conflict with Brussels is dying.
That is a victory for Sunak, but it’s not bad for Starmer either if it helps to establish the superiority of managerial pragmatism over pyrotechnic charisma as the mark of a good prime minister.
This is something else the Labour leader and his Tory counterpart have in common. They are both planning election pitches that dial down ideology and sideline the cranks who, until recently, set their respective parties’ agendas.
It is easier for Starmer with a double-digit lead in opinion polls. Sight of victory breeds message discipline, even among Labour MPs who couldn’t say for sure what the message is, while expectation of defeat has the opposite effect on Tories.
The weaker the party’s prospects, the less inclined it feels to put in the hard yards of grown-up government, which is its only chance of rehabilitation. Sunak has shown how it works in negotiations with Brussels. But of all the conceivable treatments that is the bitterest pill for Conservatives to swallow. If trust and diplomacy are the ingredients of a good deal, if the national economic interest is served by closer relations with Europe, the road to getting Brexit done starts to look more like the long, arduous process of undoing Brexit.

Leprosy cases on the rise in Fla., CDC says
A recent report by the agency found that Central Florida accounts for nearly 20% of all cases in the country
By Hunter Boyce
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
ATLANTA — Cases of leprosy in Central Florida are on the rise, concerning scientists whose work was recently published by the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). According to an Aug. 2023 report in the Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal (EID), leprosy may have reached endemic status in the U.S. Southeast.
Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, is an infection caused by slow-growing bacteria that can affect nerves, skin, eyes and the lining of the nose. While once “feared as a highly contagious and devastating disease,” the CDC classifies leprosy as a slow spreading and easily treatable ailment. Left untreated, however, leprosy can cause nerve damage capable of crippling hands and feet, and causing paralysis and even blindness.
Cases of leprosy have been considered “historically uncommon” within the U.S., with cases dwindling year after year until around 2000. However, the recent EID report noted that leprosy cases experienced a gradual increase within the U.S. in the last two decades. The number of reported leprosy cases within southeastern states has more than doubled over the last decade alone. A total of 159 new cases were reported within the U.S. in 2020, and Central Florida accounted for nearly 20% of all cases.
One factor of interest to the report’s researchers is the origin of modern leprosy cases in Florida.
“Whereas leprosy in the United States previously affected persons who had immigrated from leprosy-endemic areas, ≈34% of new case-patients during 2015–2020 appeared to have locally acquired the disease,” according to the EID report. “Several cases in central Florida demonstrate no clear evidence of zoonotic exposure or traditionally known risk factors.”
“Further, reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that, although the incidence of leprosy has been increasing, the rates of new diagnoses in persons born outside of the United States has been declining since 2002,” the EID report continued. “This information suggests that leprosy has become an endemic disease process in Florida, warranting further research into other methods of autochthonous transmission.”
The report, “Case Report of Leprosy in Central Florida,” is a Kansas City University-affiliated research letter completed by researchers Aashni Bhukhan, Charles Dunn and Rajiv Nathoo. In the letter’s abstract, the researchers stated that Florida’s rise in leprosy cases could spread throughout the Southeast.
“Florida, USA, has witnessed an increased incidence of leprosy cases lacking traditional risk factors,” according to the EID report. “Those trends, in addition to decreasing diagnoses in foreign-born persons, contribute to rising evidence that leprosy has become endemic in the southeastern United States. Travel to Florida should be considered when conducting leprosy contact tracing in any state.”

http://www.aasraw.com/products/nandrolone/ - Мainly discuss about What nandrolone powder used for,tells What does nandrolone do,nandrolone powder,nandrolone benefits.
Email:email@example.com whatsapp: +8618926485832 Nandrolone is way, way more anabolic than a lot of other compounds, but it is only slightly more anabolic than testosterone. However, compared to testosterone, it is way lower on the androgenic scale. If you look at testosterone, it has an androgenic rating of over 100, whereas, with Nandrolone, you only have a rating of 37. This is a massive difference. The reason why it’s so much lower is that the compound has an ability to turn down your dihydronandrolone instead of your DHT, which is dihydrotestosterone. Because of that, Nandrolone is really easily tolerated by most adult males. The compound is also relatively inactive in terms of the estrogenic side effects, and only 20-percent of aromatase that is only a fraction of testosterone. It is also considered an active progestin and can enhance or manipulate the other potential side effects, but if you make an effort, you can ensure they’re controllable in most contexts. Nandrolone is really great as a steroid because it has so many performance enahancer and practical benefits. This makes it amazingly versatile androgen. It can stop all of the bad hormones from being produced like glucocorticoids, it can raise your IGF-1 levels, more nitrogen is retained, more red blood cells, a lot more collagen, your bones are stronger, and you can expedite the process of protein synthesis. All these contribute to muscle growth, recovery and gains in strength, mass and speed. When it comes to Nandrolone, the aforementioned positive effects are also found in a lot of other compounds. However, when it comes to nitrogen retention, no one else comes close to Nandrolone in terms of its capability. This is very important to know because our muscles have a lot of nitrogen in them, over 16-percent of our muscle tissue has nitrogen. This doesn’t seem all that important, but they to maintaining anabolism over catabolism relates to how much nitrogen we keep in our tissues. If it gets depleted, that means we can get into catabolic states and lose the potency of the compounds. This doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it means that our collagen and bone mineral qualities can be affected as well, and that’s where Nandrolone comes into play. No other compound can rejuvenate our collagen and bones like Nandrolone can, and this means it has a major recovery benefit when compared to other compounds that make it better than the rest of the pack. What are the benefits of Nandrolone powder? 4
Email:firstname.lastname@example.org whatsapp: +8618926485832 Nandrolone use in bodybuilding Nandrolone is effective in increasing muscle tone and density. It does this by helping the body use any consumed proteins more efficiently. The effects are usually temporary and a diet very high in protein is needed to build muscle tone sufficiently. Nandrolone can decrease recovery times from injury and increase stamina levels by reducing fatigue after exertion. It does this by increasing the level of muscle glycogen repletion after a tough exercise regime.This means athletes can train for longer periods without getting tired. According to the For Bodybuilders website, nandrolone is effective at moving oxygen through the bloodstream at a quicker rate than usual, speeding up recovery times from injuries and helping torn muscles and damaged bones repair themselves. Nandrolone is believed to increase feelings of competitiveness and aggression, which can be an advantage in sporting events. Nandrolone is also effective at decreasing overall levels of body fat. Nandrolone for low testosterone According to the Human Growth Hormone website, nandrolone can be effective in treating testosterone deficiency as its chemical structure is similar to the male hormone testosterone. Low testosterone has been linked to higher levels of blood pressure and heart attacks, according to the medical research organization HGH Therapy. Nandrolone is typically used in treating deficiencies in the scalp, skin and prostate as it is effective in binding to the androgen (the sex hormone responsible for typical male characteristics) receptor of muscle tissue. It also puts only moderate stress on the liver and promotes good overall body size. Nandrolone Medical Use Nandrolone has also been used to treat osteoporosis in women, according to the medical professionals' site Doctor's Guide. Nandrolone improves collagen synthesis in the body and restores the body's balance of calcium by strengthening bone minerals. Nandrolone has also been used to treat breast cancer and to alleviate the symptoms of AIDS, according to the Wiley InterScience website. It does this by helping prevent the wasting away of body fat and physical strength that often afflicts AIDS patients. 5

From July 27 to 29 at the Quintessa Estate in Rutherford, Napa Valley, the biodynamic masterclass series known as Cambium will unfold for its seventh edition – and for the first time on U.S. soil. We invite you to reserve your seat on the Biodynamic Demeter Alliance website.
Over three days, international wine producers and leaders in biodynamic viticulture will gather for masterclasses and tastings, building community and conversation around biodynamic farming and wine. The series is enriched by three iconic Italian producers who will share their experiences and practices for building vineyard health and resilience on both large and small scales.
Founded by Italian agronomist and winemaker Adriano Zago, Cambium Formazione is an immersive forum offering guests access to biodynamic and organic producers and farmers worldwide. Previous masterclasses held in Piedmont, Tuscany, and Burgundy have explored biodynamic agriculture and viticulture from the diverse perspectives of soil, microbiology, economics, organizational structure, and, of course, winemaking. “It’s an educational format for people who want to increase their knowledge and also to share their learnings and passion,” says Zago, who lives in the Florentine hills and produces wine, EVO oil, and vegetables using biodynamic techniques on his farm, Podere Mastrilli. “Because with passion, we can create better businesses.”
This year’s Napa gathering is special because “we are mixing not just people and knowledge, but cultures,” Zago explains. “We’ll be in the heart of one of the most prestigious wine regions in the U.S., and I will be coming with my band of Italians who represent three different ways of making wine—working with different varieties, soils, and climates. We’ll be able to learn three times as much.”
This notable group includes Elisabetta Foradori, who has overseen her family winery in Mezzolombardo for nearly 40 years and, since 2002, has applied biodynamic principles to the production of old and local grape varieties such as Teroldego, Nosiola, and white Manzoni. Today, Foradori is a multifunctional farm with vegetable gardens, a herd of cows, and cheese production. Oenologist Federico Ceretto manages his family’s 170-hectare organic Ceretto winery and estate in Alba—in Piedmont’s Langhe and Roero hills—where production meticulously follows biodynamic principles. And Chiara De Iulis Pepe is a fifth-generation member of the Emidio Pepe family and wine estate in Abruzzo, where she personally manages production in the vineyards and wine cellar.
The series will be co-hosted by Rodrigo Soto, Estate Director for Quintessa, who will speak about the estate’s organic and biodynamic practices in place since the mid-1990s, and Rudy Marchesi of Montinore Estate in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, who will discuss how biodynamic viticulture can address the changing environment. The Biodynamic Demeter Alliance’s board member and certification consultant, Daphne Amory, joins Rodrigo and Rudy as co-hosts.
Additional focused sessions will include geologist and terroir specialist Brenna Quigley on connecting root ecosystems with farming and wine, biologist and ecologist Olga Barbosa on why natural biodiversity benefits vineyards, and Samantha Cole-Johnson with a journalist’s perspective on evolving perceptions of biodynamic practices.
“Adopting these practices is timely,” Zago says. “We need to collaborate with the soil to build more resilience.” Biodynamic agriculture is best positioned to respond to evolving challenges. He continues, “Of course, healthy soil, healthy roots, and healthy plants mean healthy grapes and good wine.”

The Ministry of Family and Social Policy has prepared a new version of a draft bill on certain electronically concluded contracts. One of the assumptions of the draft is the automatic transfer to ZUS and tax offices of data from contracts concluded using a new ICT system dedicated to micro-entrepreneurs.
The draft bill on certain electronic contracts and amendments to the Act on Social Assistance of 20 April 2022 was published on the website of the Government Legislation Centre and submitted to public consultation. This is the second version of the provisions, the first was published on 1 December 2021.
The proposed provisions provide micro-entrepreneurs with the possibility to use an ICT system created by the Ministry of Family and Social Policy. This system will allow electronic conclusion of employment contracts, mandate contracts, contracts for provision of services under the terms of mandate and activation contracts. The data entered into the system will be sent directly to ZUS and tax offices. The system will also allow for amending and terminating contracts concluded through it.
The draft bill, regarding provisions for certain electronically concluded contracts, includes a number of solutions to streamline the employment process, and the reporting of employee data to ZUS and tax authorities by micro-entrepreneurs is to be done automatically.
The new solution is to be used on a voluntary basis, and the administrator of the data stored in the system will be the Minister of Labour.
Main objectives of the draft bill:
Moreover, an employer who uses the system will be released from the obligation to store and archive documentation relating to matters of the employment relationship and employees’ personal files. This is because the data will be stored in the system for 10 years.
The proposed solutions raise a number of doubts among experts. Although the reduction of the burden on micro-entrepreneurs and the reduction of their employment obligations is a good idea, there are concerns about the security of the data transferred and about possible increased controls conducted by tax offices. It is also worth noting that medium-sized and large companies have not been included in the draft, and indeed they are the most burdened with the obligations arising from hiring employees.
The bill was sent to public consultation and it is anticipated that the new provisions will enter into force 30 days after their announcement.


Highest Accuracy in All Batching Operations
A Batch Weighing system is similar in design to a continuous Loss-In-Weight system. Batch applications do not, however, require the material to be continuously fed with a high feed accuracy. Batch systems are designed to maximize the precision of the final batch weight.
Controlled discharge from storage and non-pulsating feeding of materials are critical for a successful batching system. Vibra Screw’s wide range of controlled vibration feeders and material flow aid devices permit superior accuracy in both loss-in-weight and gain-in-weight batching over a wide range of capacities.
The selection of mechanical designs for a particular material is based on our historical database and when necessary, by actual testing in our laboratories.
Batching is a form of non-continuous gravimetric closed loop control in various types of processes requiring blending of weighed ingredients. The batch system is configured very similar to the continuous LIWC system having two main configurations. The Gain-In-Weight (GIWB) and Loss-In-Weight (LIWB) batch systems. Consist of a feed devise (screw feeder, vibratory feeder or rotary feeder), Scale system, and refill system. As with the LIWC system, the batch system may be comprised of many of the feed and storage/discharge devices offered in the Vibra Screw product line.
Principles of Operation
In contrast to the continuous LIW system, the batch system uses discrete volumetric rate control instead of gravimetric rate control. The control system in a single speed batch uses a speed potentiometer to set the volumetric feeder discharge rate. This rate will not change for the entire batch.
In a two speed batch, two discrete speed settings are used during the batch. The different speeds function to first bulk feed the majority of the batch requirement and ten finish by dribbling the remaining part. The bulk speed is normally twice that of the dribble speed. The batch controller determines when the system changes from bulk to dribble speed. The weighing and refill system works the same as the LIWC system.
BATCH Gain-In-Weight Feeding...
How Does It Work
The Gain-In-Weight Batch (GIWB) system should be used when:
A) Several ingredients are required to be batched into a weighed vessel.
B) High accuracy is required.
C) Small batch sizes will not support weighing the whole system.
The control system for the GIWB and LIWB have similar operation for refill and net change in weight. The LIWB controller automatically refills the batch feed system based on scale weight. The GIWB system must have level probes for automatic refill or simple hand refill . In the GIWB system the controller monitors the gain-in-weight in contrast to net loss-in-weight for each feeder. The GIWB system can control multiple feeders, although will NOT support simultaneous batching.
Gain-In-Weight batching system for prepared food mixes. Five dispensing bins with two speed Vibrating Tube feeders deliver ingredients to a scale-mounted semi-bulk bag (IBC) that moves from feeder to feeder on a track. Each ingredient is weighed into the IBC, and the feed is automatically cut off when the desired weight is reached
BULK BAG Loss-In-Weight Batch Feeding...
How Does It Work
The Bulk Bag Batching system is a Loss-In-Wight Batch type system with one major difference. It allows batch requirements to be grater than one bag of material. The controller uses an accumulated batch setpoint that allows for multiple tares during batch. The feeder runs until a low-level bag is detected. The feeder stops until the bag is changed and the start is pressed on the controller. This sequence continues until the desired batch amount is obtained. This configuration is normally used for large batch requirements of greater than 100 lbs.

People have been painting Quentin Tarantino as the sweaty film nerd pathetically infatuated with his prom queen leading lady pretty much since Pulp Fiction, and most gossip stories about them feel like they involve equal parts projection and wishful thinking. But for what it’s worth, the same gossip mags that have been wishing Quentin Tarantino (51) and Uma Thurman (44) would bang for years are reporting that they’re now banging. This must be such an exciting moment for them.
His muse is his at last! Twenty years after Quentin Tarantino directed Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction, Us Weekly can confirm that the two have taken their relationship to the next level. Sources tell Us that the pair recently spent time together at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival in the South of France, where they even shared a villa.
“They had a thing and got together again recently,” one insider tells Us. “He’s loved her for years.” [USWeekly]
From what I heard, Quentin was more into the sisters, but who knows. It’s definitely a perfect story to use all these recent pictures of them together. If it is true, Quentin is a real role model for the rest of us guys. Every time I get rejected by a glamorous, statuesque blonde, I don’t get down, I just think to myself “She’ll change her tune after two or three divorces.”
