Plenty of studies have been done showing the harm of microwave technology, hell, they even use them as weapons! Still the tools at the San Luis Valley Rural Electric Cooperative have never heard of any of these studies. No doubt federal dollars have kept them from hearing and understanding the truth about this technology and it’s harmful effects on the living.
The Dangers of Cell Phones; There’s A Report
What would you think if I told you there is deliberate, governmental suppression of important health reports and information? One normally would think federal and city/county/state health agencies would be bending over backwards to bring factual health and precautionary information to the public they serve.
Well, there’s documented proof the State of California is messing around with keeping important cell phone dangers information from public access and the residents of that state. California officials apparently are involved in what could be considered either a conspiracy of silence or collusion to deceive the scientific facts about cell phone health dangers in the report “Cell Phones and Health” produced in 2014—of which there were 27 rewritten versions—but never released to the public to date.
Activists in California took the matter to court and the judge ruled Professor Joel M. Moskowitz, PhD, only can receive a copy of that suppressed report, apparently after learning the suppressed report was not released to the public because:
- If that report were released, it would harm the cell phone industry!
- The report’s information could cause chaos among the public!
- There’s no need to release the report since the CDC issued [cell phone] warnings, which is not a factual statement according to Cindy Franklin, Director of Consumers for Safe Cell Phones.

How many eggs can I eat a day to lose weight?
A 2018 study found that eating three eggs a day for 12 weeks helped people with overweight and obesity to lose weight and retain lean muscle mass, compared with people who ate no eggs. However, the authors added that eggs might not be the best option for a high protein diet.
How many soft boiled eggs can I eat a day?
The science is clear that up to 3 whole eggs per day are perfectly safe for healthy people. Summary Eggs consistently raise HDL (the “good”) cholesterol. For 70% of people, there is no increase in total or LDL cholesterol. Some people may experience a mild increase in a benign subtype of LDL.
Which is healthier hard or soft boiled eggs?
In soft-boiled eggs, the egg white is cooked and so the proteins remain intact. Bring the water to a boil, and lower the heat. … In conclusion, hard-boiled eggs are healthier and safer to consume than soft-boiled eggs, as, in the latter, the raw egg yolk can increase the risk of salmonella.
Are boiled eggs good for losing belly fat?
Eggs can help you lose weight because of their high protein content, which keeps you full longer. That protein may also slightly increase your metabolism, which can help you burn more calories. If you want to lose weight, eat eggs as part of a healthy breakfast with fruits and vegetables.
Is 6 eggs a day too much?
There is no recommended limit on how many eggs people should eat. Eggs can be enjoyed as part of a healthy, balanced diet, but it’s best to cook them without adding salt or fat.
What happens if I eat 2 boiled eggs everyday?
Eating eggs leads to elevated levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), also known as the “good” cholesterol. People who have higher HDL levels have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke and other health issues. According to one study, eating two eggs a day for six weeks increased HDL levels by 10%.
Do you gain the weight back after egg diet?
The Boiled Egg Diet is low in calories and carbs, which could cause short-term weight loss. However, you may regain weight once a normal diet is resumed.
Are soft boiled eggs unhealthy?
Soft-boiled eggs are absolutely fine – just make sure the yolk isn’t completely runny. Wash your hands with soap and water after handling uncooked eggs so there is no risk of transferring bacteria from the eggshell surface to other foods in the kitchen.
Do soft boiled eggs have less cholesterol?
More research is needed to figure out the exact link between eggs, diabetes and heart disease. Health experts now suggest eating as little dietary cholesterol as you can, aiming to keep intake under 300 milligrams (mg) a day. One large egg has about 186 mg of cholesterol — all of which is found in the yolk.
How many boiled eggs should I eat for breakfast to lose weight?
Eggs are low in calories and contain only 78 calories along with the yolk. However, you can do away with the egg yolk if you want to lose some extra pounds fast. For a wholesome meal in the morning, you can include 2-4 eggs in your breakfast, which contain less than 240 calories.

Microsoft announces a price-cut for the Xbox One which, unsurprisingly, brings the console’s cost back down to match Sony’s PS4 just in time for holiday shoppers.
The Xbox One will drop $50 in price in the United States, which means the console will be available for just $300. If that price point seems familiar to gamers, that’s because its the same deal that Microsoft ran on the console over the course of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales a few weeks ago. The sale goes live today, December 9, and will run all the way through to December 26, where savvy buyers might be able to pair the console’s purchase with some Boxing Day sales as well.
Microsoft has also announced a digital game sale that will offer deals on Xbox One games on a daily and weekly basis. That sale will run from December 22 until January 7, although there has been no confirmation regarding which games might be featured during the sale. Given the fact that the holiday sales season is so crucial in defining how the new year will go for each console competitor, it’s not surprising to see Microsoft aggressively discount its premier console alongside some games to sweeten the deal.
Of course, Microsoft’s inspiration might not just be limited to bolstering sales. Sony announced a price cut for the PS4 earlier this month that also reduced its console’s price to $300 US. It’s clear both companies are attempting to find an edge as gamers begin their annual holiday spending, and, to Microsoft’s credit, its Xbox One sale will run a full week longer than Sony’s PS4 discount, which ends on December 19.
Although Sony’s video game market dominance has been well-documented, the Xbox One surprised everyone when it usurped the PS4’s reign on top of the sales chart in October. How much of that month’s sales figures can be attributed to the release of Halo 5: Guardians is anyone’s guess, but gamers will know fairly soon just how big a factor 343 Industries’ newest take on Master Chief and Locke really was. Sales figures for November should be out in the next few days, and it will be interesting to see if the Xbox One managed to stay on top.
For those still looking for a reason to purchase Microsoft’s console, the long sale period should offer up as good a chance as any to really mull over the investment. Game Rant recently featured a list of the 5 Xbox One games that make the console worth buying, should players need that extra bit of motivation to give the Xbox One a chance now that its recovered from its early stumbles.
Are you buying a console this holiday season? Do you think the sales might get even better on Boxing Day, or have we reached the lowest price point the PS4 and Xbox One will hit in a while? Let us know in the comments below.

Joe Biden’s brother, Frank, has been caught admitting that he peddled his influence in affecting U.S. policy during Joe Biden’s presidency.
This is a crime. It’s just that simple.
Frank Biden told people that he makes money by selling his closeness to Joe Biden on at least two occasions, CNN reported (with an accidental outbreak of journalism).
In one instance in October, Frank spoke at a BioSig Technologies conference in Venice, Italy.
The speaker was not a doctor. Nor did he have an extensive background in health care, global or otherwise. But Francis W. “Frank” Biden did have something else: A brother in the White House.
In his speech, Frank Biden talked about his family and his brother’s cancer initiative, according to attendees. Following his remarks, the leader of a trade group who attended the event promptly posted a video from Venice informing members he represents that he’d spoken with Frank Biden about their efforts to lobby the federal government on Medicare reimbursement rules. The president’s brother, he told his members, had agreed to help.
In a second incident, Biden was again speaking before a BioSig event in Boston in 202.
At that event, Frank Biden boasted of “the bully pulpit that I have as a result of the privilege of being associated with my brother Joey,” and vowed to “do everything in my power to support you to get the job done, to get federal dollars to your research,” a video of his speech shows.
The Biden family has been selling Joe Biden’s influence over the federal government for decades. And now it appears that criminal crime family was still in business after Joe became president of the United States.

Bribie Island Local History
Bribie Island, located in Queensland, Australia, is one of the state's most loved destinations. It is a place where visitors can enjoy nature and immerse themselves in the island's rich history. The island has a long and fascinating history, which has been shaped by the traditional owners of the land and the settlers who arrived later on.
For thousands of years before European settlement, Bribie Island was home to the Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi) Aboriginal people. The Kabi Kabi people had a deep spiritual connection with the land and its resources, which they respected and used sustainably. Their way of life was centered around coastal hunting and fishing, and they made use of the island's abundant resources to create tools, clothing, and shelter.
The first European explorers to visit Bribie Island were Dutch navigator Abel Tasman and his crew, who sailed past the island in 1644. However, it was not until the 1820s that the first Europeans settled on the island. The first of these settlers was Matthew Flinders, who anchored his vessel in the sheltered waters of Pumicestone Passage. He named the channel ‘Pumicestone’, which is said to have come from the Aboriginal term ‘Boonbinker’, meaning 'place of the climbing up of the skuas'.
In the 1860s, Bribie Island became a popular destination for timber-cutters, who were attracted by the valuable hoop pine that grew on the island. The timber was used for building houses and ships and was in high demand. Many of the early residents of Bribie Island were timber-getters and their families. In the late 1800s, a small village known as Gallaghers Point was established on the island. This village was named after William Gallagher, who was one of the early timber-cutters on Bribie Island.
In the 1930s, Bribie Island experienced a tourism boom, with visitors flocking to the island to enjoy its beautiful beaches and natural surroundings. This led to the construction of several guesthouses, which catered to the growing number of tourists. Many of these guesthouses have since been demolished, but some, such as the Bribie Island Hotel and the Seaside Museum, remain as historical landmarks.
During World War II, Bribie Island was an important strategic location for the Australian military. The island was heavily fortified and used as a training ground for soldiers, with many structures built across the island, including gun emplacements, trenches, and bunkers. Some of these structures can still be seen today, including the remains of a large fortification at the northern end of the island.
After the war, Bribie Island once again became a popular holiday destination, and the island's population began to grow. The construction of the Bribie Island Bridge in 1963 made it easier for visitors and residents to access the island, and the population continued to increase throughout the 20th century. Today, Bribie Island is a thriving community with a rich history that is celebrated and preserved by its residents and visitors.

text: Would like to start a thread to share observations, not so much just recipes (which are still welcome). Today I had lunch at a local Chinese buffet. Pretty decent food when you get there at the right time but early on weekends is always better. I'd been hankering for their pepper sauteed cabbage, the one thing I always eat when I go. They didn't have it out because it's not in that high of demand (figures) but the owner insisted on making some for me. If it's no trouble, sure, I said. 10 minutes later he comes out with a large plate FULL of it freshly made and man, was it good. I'd already been eating so couldn't come close to finishing it all, so they let me box it up at no extra charge -- and if I ever come in and it's not out, just ask, they'll whip some up. Gave them an extra big tip for all that. Anyway, sauteed cabbage, peppered or not, is excellent and probably good for ya. What do you enjoy (not forced to eat, but enjoy) eating while on this kind of diet?


PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- A Glocester man told police that he was carjacked by someone who pretended to be injured in the Charles neighborhood early Sunday morning.
Thomas Pike, 30, told police that he stopped when he saw a tall, thin man stumble into the road on Touro Street by Silver Spring Street at around 2:30 a.m.
Pike said he rolled down his window to talk to the man -- who walked up with a knife and held it at his neck, according to a police report. Pike said the man dragged him out of his Honda Fit, took his cell phone and wallet, and drove off, the report said.
The stolen Honda was later found in flames at Eddy and Byfield streets.

NEW DEHLI: Amnesty International India launched a campaign in a bid to highlight the human rights violation in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK) over a month-long lockdown.
The Communication blackout in occupied Kashmir after Indian Government revokes Special Status of Jammu & Kashmir Article 370A
The Amnesty International India has launched a campaign #LetKashmirSpeak on today [5 September 2019] demanding Indian Government to end the blackout in Kashmir.
The draconian communication blackout in Kashmir is an outrageous protracted assault on the civil liberties of the people of Kashmir, said Amnesty International India as it launched a global campaign today in a bid to highlight the human cost of the lockdown.
“The blackout has now been a month old and cannot be prolonged any further by the Indian Government as it has grossly impacted the daily lives of Kashmiri people, their emotional and mental well-being, medical care, as well as their access to basic necessities and emergency services. It is tearing families apart,” said Aakar Patel, head of Amnesty International India.
In response to this indefinite communication blackout, Amnesty International India has launched the campaign #LetKashmirSpeak on 5 September, 2019 – which marks a month of the communications blackout, to ask for immediate lifting of the lockdown. While landline telephones have been announced to be restored, their obsoletion in the recent past will fall woefully short in facilitating communication for the 8 million people of Kashmir.
“While the region of Jammu has begun to see easing of the lockdown in many districts, most of Kashmir still remains under a severe communications blackout. Depriving an entire population of their right to freedom of expression, opinion and movement for an indefinite period is akin to taking the region back to the dark ages. ‘Naya Kashmir’ cannot be built without the Kashmiris. The country is yet to hear from Kashmir after a month of being repeatedly been told by the Indian government that all is normal. This is not normal. Let Kashmir speak,” said Aakar Patel.
On 2 September 2019, the Indian Minister of External Affairs, S. Jaishankar in an interview with Politico Magazine said, “It wasn’t possible to stop communications between militants without impacting all of Kashmir. How do I cut off communication between the terrorists and their masters on the one hand, but keep the Internet open for other people? I would be delighted to pass on the information.”
While Amnesty International India acknowledges that the Government of India may have legitimate security concerns which may merit reasonable restrictions on right to freedom of expression in certain circumstances, it does not believe the current shutdown complies with requirement of necessity, proportionality and legality set out under Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which India is a party. Instead, it deprives the entire population of Kashmir of their right to freedom of expression and opinion and access to crucial information, thus inflicting a form of collective punishment on the 8 million people of Kashmir. Lack of transparency on the criteria used to cut off all communication services and what mechanisms are available to challenge the sweeping restrictions puts India in a clear violation of its international obligations.
Meanwhile, sketchy reports coming out of the region have highlighted unattended medical emergencies, mass arrests and detentions, children and youth being picked up in the middle of the night, torture of civilians, indiscriminate use of tear gas, rubber bullets and pellet guns at protestors. All this with the backdrop of heavy military presence and a history of serious human rights violations in the region. This adds to the heightening of tensions and feelings of insecurity at a time when families are unable to contact each other and ensure their wellbeing – as many young and aged remain locked in their homes.
The attempts to restrict the freedom of press, like in the case of journalist and author Gowhar Geelani who was arbitrarily stopped at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi from boarding his flight to Germany, have further compounded the effect of the communication blackout. According to a recent Kashmir Press Club statement, at least three senior Kashmiri journalists were asked to vacate government accommodations as soon as possible, which is ‘nothing but harassment aimed at coercing journalists to toe a particular line’. The government’s attempts to create a public opinion of ‘normalcy’ in Kashmir while curbing the freedom of independent press have usurped the voice of the people.
This excessive censure has not only affected the public’s right to know and threatened basic freedom of expression norms but also put the lives of journalists, health practitioners and service providers at risk, increasing their chances of being harassed, intimidated and detained in connection with their work.
“Given the chronic impunity for abuses committed by security forces in the past in Kashmir and a lack of unconditional and unconstrained access to the news from the valley, the situation calls for lifting of the communications blackout without any further delay and to listen and engage with the people of Kashmir. This is no more a clampdown on just the communication systems of Kashmir, but a clampdown on the hearts and minds of the Kashmiris,” said Aakar Patel.
The global campaign can be accessed here.

In 1997, Keanu Reeves’ performance in the thriller-horror ‘The Devil’s Advocate’ was praised by fans.
Keanu Reeves is regarded as one of Hollywood’s best actors as well as one of the nicest individuals. He has surprised his admirers on several occasions by donating his money to other performers or staff members. According to some rumors, the actor generously donated $75 million from The Matrix earnings to the special effects and costume design teams. Despite the fact that it was a significant philanthropic deed, Reeves did not publicize it, much like when he deferred his income while filming ‘The Devil’s Advocate’ in order to secure one exceptional actor.
In 1997, Keanu Reeves’ performance in the thriller-horror ‘The Devil’s Advocate’ was praised by fans. Some may not be aware that the John Wick actor reduced his pay to ensure that the film’s budget could accommodate Al Pacino. If that wasn’t enough, he did the same thing in the film ‘The Replacements,’ when Gene Hackman’s phrase looked out of reach for Warner Bros. Despite the fact that Al Pacino and Gene Hackman have joined Keanu Reeves’ respective films, the actor has made it obvious that he is not interested in discussing it. “I’d rather people didn’t know that,” the actor revealed at a 2019 news conference before the release of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. “It was a one-on-one deal. It was something I could afford to do, and it was worthwhile.”
Reeves is gearing up to star in The Matrix Resurrections, the fourth installment of his acclaimed film trilogy. After several years, the actor will reprise his role as Neo. In addition to Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss will play Trinity, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will play Morpheus, Jada Pinkett Smith will play Niobe, and more will appear in The Matrix Resurrections. It will also feature Priyanka Chopra. The film will be released on December 22, 2021.


Hello Chestermere-Strathmore readers
I wanted to chat with you about some initiatives that our government is taking over the next few years. Your tax dollars are hard at work as we launch the Affordable Housing Partnership Program, which allocates an additional $55 million over three years to support affordable housing projects throughout the province. This is only possible because of your resilience and recovery as we continue to rebound after these difficult years. Many of our friends and neighbours are struggling and hopefully we will be able to help by helping low-income families and individuals afford housing by expanding, building, and renovating housing units in our province. Here are some of the commitments that we as a province are looking at over the next 10 years. We are working towards seeing an increase of 25,000 affordable housing units through a program called Stronger Foundations that works with different housing partners and providers to help our communities and municipalities provide this needed housing. Here is how the budget will roll out. Budget 2022 provided the initial capital grant funding of 55.1 million over the next 3 years.
o 2022-23: $7 million
o 2023-24: $23 million
o 2024-25: $25.1 million
• Projects considered for funding will include:
o Mixed-income developments with an affordable and/or social housing component.
o Mixed-use developments with an affordable and/or social housing component; and/or
o Specialized housing.
• Types of projects include:
o An addition to or renovation of existing housing, resulting in a minimum five net new affordable housing units.
o Conversion of non-rental housing (e.g., hotel or commercial space).
o Re-development on the existing site involving demolition and new construction; or,
o Building new housing.
• Proposals for the first round of funding will be accepted from Dec. 7, 2022, to Jan. 11, 2023.
o Housing management bodies may submit a proposal as part of their annual business plan submission.
• Capital Plan 2022 allocates $281 million over three years to provide 2,300 new and regenerated affordable housing units. This will support more than 2,000 jobs across the province.
• A mix of new capital builds and rent subsidies will serve about 3,900 new households over the next three years.
Did you know that the Conference Board of Canada released new research showing that Alberta will continue to be a leader when it come to real GDP growth among the provinces? Alberta’s economy has momentum, and we must focus on even more job creation and diversification as we continue to be the economic engine of Canada. Again, this is because of the most important resource in our province, and that is You! Among all provinces, Alberta still has the highest natural growth rate, the youngest average age, and the lowest proportion of people aged 65 and over. This is something that job creators and investors look for. This is great news for Alberta and why we need to continue to focus on investment attraction, economic growth, diversification, and job creation.
Finally, we are hoping to expand the electricity rebate to include more customers even as the program is set to be extended by four months. The $50-per-month rebate program was designed to show up on the bills of more than 1.9 million homes, farms, and businesses for six months.
However, customers who are sub-metered, like some living in apartments and condominiums, were not eligible, so I am hoping to see this change happen as quickly as possible.
I am happy that the work that we have done to see benefits for vulnerable Albertans being adjusted for inflation. This was a huge part of my leadership campaign, and I am very happy to see these changes happen. I will have more details soon as to how Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH), Income Support, Alberta Seniors Benefit and Alberta Child and Family Benefit payments will be boosted starting in the new year at a rate of six per cent. There is urgent need for those on fixed incomes.
Those receiving the Alberta Seniors Benefit will see the change on their January cheques, and those getting the Alberta Child and Family Benefit will see the increase in their first quarterly payment in February 2023.
It’s estimated the re-indexation of AISH, and Income Support will cost taxpayers about $45 million in 2022-23 and $173 million in 2023-24, while adjusting the Alberta Child and Family Benefit will cost about $7 million in 2022-2023 and $35 million in 2023-2024.
As always, we love to hear from you.


text: When you close the bolt the firing pin releases about 50% of the time. If you manage to get the firing pin to lock and put the safty on when you take the safty off it will fire the gun. I have taken the trigger off the gun and the firing pin out of the bolt and checked everthing to make sure it was clean and no burrs on any parts and the only thing I found was the bolt side of the sear(not sure if sear is the right name, the part that releases and holds the firing pin in the ready position), that you can see with the bolt removed, the chrome is a little bubbled up and coming off right were the firing pin and sear engage each other. Do you think that might be the problem? and if so whats the proper name so I can order one. Thanks for any help.

The free agent defensive tackle would be one of the top players available on this year’s market, but the Chiefs do not plan to let him get there. If they cannot reach an extension agreement by the end of the window to apply franchise tags (March 10), the defending Super Bowl champions will tag Jones, Albert Breer of SI.com notes.
A defensive tackle franchise tag would run the Chiefs approximately $16.3MM. Based on Jones’ per-year asking price, that would be a bargain for Kansas City. Last year, Jones held out in hopes of securing a deal north of $20MM per year. The contract the Chiefs gave Frank Clark after trading for him — five years, $104MM with $63MM guaranteed — represents the most lucrative accord in franchise history. With Jones making his first Pro Bowl a year after setting the NFL record for most consecutive games with a sack, his price point this time around will surely not drop.
That stands to complicate matters for the Chiefs, who will face a difficult task in paying two defensive linemen over $20MM per year and authorizing Mahomes’ record-setting extension. The Chiefs already have two wideouts earning at least $16MM per year, leading to understandable speculation Sammy Watkins will be released to expand on the Chiefs’ $13MM worth of cap space.
Tag-and-trade scenarios for Jones may surface, as the Chiefs were part of tag-and-trade deals for Clark and Dee Ford last year. But Breer expects the standout interior pass rusher to be a Chief next season. Jones, 25, getting to $20MM AAV make him just the second interior defender to hit that mark, joining Aaron Donald. The latter is attached to a $22.5MM-per-year pact, which leads all other inside defenders by more than $5MM annually.

So what are you hearing about the budget resolution submitted yesterday by the Senate Democrats?
No, I’m not hearing much about it either.
Could that be because the first budget resolution introduced by Democrats in four years is short on specifics and doesn't address entitlements or the nation's spending problem?
USA Today described the budget resolution this way:
Senate Democrats released a budget resolution Wednesday for a 10-year fiscal vision that would trim the deficit and protect entitlement programs. It calls for more spending for roads and schools and for higher taxes on corporations and wealthy Americans to protect middle-class earners.
The budget — the first one Senate Democrats have produced since 2009 — stands in sharp contrast to the House Republicans' plan released Tuesday that calls for cuts in corporate and individual taxes and aims to balance the budget in 10 years, fundamentally overhaul Medicare and eliminate President Obama's health care law.
In refusing to take on entitlements, the Democratic budget looks like something that could have been produced by Alfred E. Neuman, the old Mad magazine mascot, whose motto was, "What me worry?"
Over at National Review Andrew Stiles confronts the Democrats' reluctance to produce a budget:
Now that Senate Democrats have finally put their plan on paper, it is not hard to understand why they have been so reluctant to do so. For one, it is far easier to demagogue an opponent’s proposal without a serious plan of your own to defend. In almost all respects, the Democratic budget is a political testament to President Obama’s insistence that “we don’t have an immediate crisis in terms of debt.”…
[Washington’s Democratic Senator Patty] Murray’s budget, which is woefully light on specifics, essentially embodies what former Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner told [Republican Rep. Paul] Ryan last year: “We’re not coming before you today to say we have a definitive solution to that long-term problem. What we do know is, we don’t like yours.”…
Expect Republicans to pounce. Due to the nature of the budget process, GOP lawmakers will be able to offer dozens of amendments on the Senate floor, and force vulnerable Democrats to cast difficult votes on tax and spending issues. Most congressional Republicans are thrilled to finally have a Democratic alternative with which to compare their party’s own fiscal plan. “It’s going to be nice to be able to play some offense this time around,” a GOP aide says. “I think it’s going to become abundantly clear why Democrats have avoided this process for so long.”
The law requires that a federal budget be passed every year. So the Democrats are definitely running a bit behind schedule.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, apparently displeased at the prospect of a genuine debate, is floating the idea that Congress should only be required to pass a budget every two years.
So—let’s see—would that mean that the Democrats are only two years late?
It is amazing that the Democrats failure to produce budgets hasn't been a bigger issue.
It is even more amazing that with the United States on the brink of turning into Greece, one of the two major political parties wants to avoid serious financial debate.


Home / Excavator / 28+ Impressive Excavator Rental Prices Pictures Inspirations / Excavator Simulator Games Plus Most Accidents For Excavations Occur In Trenches Feet Deep With Excavator Rental Prices Also Rock Wheel Excavator Attachment As Well As
Marianne Sanford Excavator February 10th, 2018 - 11:44:10
There are two definitions for excavator; one is any person engaging in excavation is called an excavator. The second definition of excavator is of course the vehicles called excavators which are sometimes called diggers trackhoes fronthoes and 360-degree excavators or just 360. This is not to be confused with Microsofts vertical technology and news search engine called Excavator or xcavator as one has nothing to do with the other. Here were talking about heavy duty digging machines even though several manufacturers like John Deere offer Compact Midsize and Large Excavators ranging from 0-6 metric tons for the compact excavators 6 to 40 metric tons for the midsize and 40 to 85 for large John Deere excavators. Additionally there exist mini-excavators made by another manufacturer that will fit through a door.
However the counterweight makes it difficult to maneuver the vehicle as it extends beyond the tracks. The zero tail swing excavators on the other hand have a counter weight that doesnt extend over the rails and hence make it easier for the operator to maneuver. Excavators are mainly defined or specified by their arm force dump height power rating and their dig depth. Originally all excavators came with the bucket as the only attachment. However current exactors have a variety of attachments such as grapples breakers and augers. The buckets also come in different types e.g. tilt general purpose and sorting buckets. The operator can control the side to side angle of tilt buckets while sorting buckets are used to separate large materials from the smaller ones. The quick attach mounting system makes it easier for attachment switching at the site. Lee is an experienced and competent writer especially in business and construction industries. His articles are opinionated informative and at times controversial. His honest approach is designed to assist the reader make informed decisions on areas very important to our daily lives.
Suction Excavators Apart from bucket excavators some excavators play the role of a vacuum by sucking out debris and other dirt materials from the ground. The excavation that takes place using a suction excavator requires the use of water in the soil. The water makes the soil loose making it easier for the suction pipe to suck the debris. Suction excavators are used when there is a need to extract soil from the ground for experimental purposes. Long Reach Excavators Long reach excavators have a long arm and boom sections. These types of excavators are usually used in demolition tasks. These machines are strong and can easily break walls and solid structures with power. Their long arms allow the handlers to stay at a safe distance from the demolition debris yet perform the task successfully in less time.
Thus with the availability of machines that can dig through different types of surfaces work will have a short duration. For the contractor this can mean more business can be tackled over a period of one month. There is only a need to find an operator who knows how to move the machine around in a few strokes. Excavators do not really need a lot of space to work around because they usually run on tracks where every little movement would allow it to execute a different move. The most important element for the space is the level of the ground where the excavator will stay since a mere bump on the ground can mean disaster for the excavator as it requires to move around on flat surfaces.

BOOK BLITZ: A French Girl in New York (Book 1 of The French Girl Series) by Anna Adams
Welcome to the...
Check out Book 1 of The French Girl Series by Anna Adams
Maude Laurent is a spirited 16 year-old orphan who grew up in a small, provincial town in the North of France with a passion for piano and a beautiful voice. One day in Paris, she is discovered by an American music producer who takes her to New York to live with him and his close-knit family while producing her first album, with help from teen pop star Matt. Maude will dive into a new fascinating world discovering New York City, music, family, love and the truth about her past.
"Okay, I'm done. Now hurry!" the makeup artist cried out. "You're up in two minutes. Don't you dare mess up your makeup again!"
Maude ran out, keeping her hands away from her recently rouged cheeks, and Matt hurried behind her.
She stood right behind the curtain and listened to the host's cheerful voice, announcing her.
"Now ladies and gentlemen, we have a new artist with us tonight. She's spent her last six months in New York working on her first album. Her first single has bee released and is a huge hit..."
"Maude," Matt whispered, tugging her sleeve.
"Yes?" She looked back at him, smiling.
"I just wanted to tell you...to let you know that you ca always count on me."
"I know, Matt," Maude smiled gratefully.
"Her voice will take your breath away, her music is amazing..."
"No, I'm serious. Our friendship has had its ups and downs, but I don't want it to be that way anymore."
"I don't care if you're with Thomas Bradfield. As long as you're happy, I'm happy."
Maude paused, puzzled. "What? Thomas Bradfield --"
"Give a round of applause for Maude Laurent!" the host cried.
"That's your cue! Go!" Matt urged.
Maude reluctantly turned away from Matt and hurried on stage. The blaring lights blinded her as she entered the stage and faced the cheering crowd.
She had to restrain her impulse to shield her eyes and continued steadily towards the dark Steinway.
She had played on it earlier but then, she hadn't felt nervous. Her hands hadn't been trembling, and her voice hadn't been shaky.
Maude sat on the piano stool and looked towards the crowd.
They were all there.

Colchester: Cuckoo Farm plan goes to Prescott
A community stadium for Colchester has taken an important step towards becoming reality with a design proposal submitted to the Government.
A planning application has been handed in to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, which was hailed as "an exciting development".
However, further work is still needed before a decision can be taken at Whitehall.
Marie Partner, chief executive of Colchester United FC, said: "It is not the case that the full application is sitting on the Deputy Prime Minister's desk for his consideration.
"There are still other components to the application that have to be submitted and we are working on them with the council now."
The stadium will not only provide a replacement for the U's dilapidated Layer Road ground, but be home to the Colchester United Community Sports Trust and be used by schools and other groups from around the town.
More than 13,000 people have signed the Gazette's Community Stadium Now! petition.

The presence of life-threatening contaminants in the river basins of the north and centre of California is the latest sign of environmental damage caused by the thousands of illegal cannabis plantations in the area. Many of these are run by drug cartels that meet the demand of clients from other states. There is a real concern about the inherent tension between cannabis growing, or any other type of farming, and the environment’s needs; and that tension should be assessed and discussed openly. However, federal law still regards cannabis as a controlled substance, which in turn prevents the authorities from facing this issue which threatens to become a national problem.
According to Associated Press, 9 out of every 10 illegal cannabis farms shut down in California in 2018 showed traces of potentially deadly pesticides, which are poisoning natural life and could also jeopardize human water supplies. This constitutes a major leap with regards to the chemicals found in approximately 75% of the illicit plantations discovered on public land a year earlier, and it is 6 times higher than in 2012.
In August 2019, Californian police discovered that Mexican drug dealers were using a dangerous pesticide banned in the United States to grow marijuana in remote areas of the Sierra Nevada mountains, in California. This pesticide was carbofuran, which is toxic to humans and can cause permanent damage to the reproductive system. These marijuana-growing sites are on federal land which is being systematically destroyed through tree felling, stream diversion, and the use of chemicals and pesticides.
Experts claim that the carbofuran found on those sites is so dangerous that a mere teaspoonful could kill an adult bear. Traces of this deadly chemical have been found in streams and rivers and in live and dead animals, including endangered species such as the fisher. The EPA (The Environmental Protection Agency) estimated that back then carbofuran was killing between 1 and 2 million birds each year in the United States. What's more, in 2008 the BBC informed that herdsmen in Kenya were using carbofuran to kill the lions threatening their herds.
For many years, carbofuran was sold under the Brand Furadan by FMC Corporation, and was being sprayed over fields of corn, cotton, potatoes, sunflowers, and other food crops. Regulators withdrew carbofuran from the US market in 2008, and nowadays it is also banned in the European Union, Canada, and most recently in Brazil too. But despite the ban, carbofuran is still affecting California as it is the favorite pesticide of illegal cannabis growers. Let's not forget that California represents more than 90% of the US illegal cannabis cultivation.
Researchers suspect that some illegal crops are now being moved to farming areas where they are being blended in with legal marijuana crops, which can in turn endanger farming as a whole. Authorities believe that, due to legalization, it is much easier for illegal growers to set up a greenhouse somewhere in a valley than having to set up a crop in a remote national forest.
Most of the illegal marijuana grown in California is sent out of the state as it cannot meet the strict Californian standards for legal cannabis due to its traces of toxic chemical products. Meanwhile, environmentalist groups are fighting to decontaminate the many areas where illegal crops containing carbofuran were set up in the past. As of August 2018, 160 toxic areas had been cleaned, but 830 were still awaiting decontamination. And we are only talking about the ones that are publicly known.
The United States Forest Service estimated that 1200 million gallons (4500 million litres) of water are deviated from aquifers to illicit crops in the Californian national forests every year. The toxic chemicals from these illegal cannabis farms are appearing in rivers and streams that feed directly into the state's water supply, which has led to fears that people might be at risk as a result of this.
And California is not alone. Illegal drug traffickers are present in 72 national forests in 21 states, which turns this into a major national issue. In addition, marijuana's semi-legal state (it is still banned by federal law) also impedes the study of any related environmental impact and hinders the creation of solutions from a purely environmental point of view.
The use of pesticides in cannabis cultivation has health implications for growers, users, and for the environment as a whole. The District of Columbia and some states like Connecticut, Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts have already adopted regulations that are focused on less toxic approaches to medical cannabis cultivation, to ensure growing practices that avoid or ban the use of pesticides. And it is precisely this 'federal limbo' that brings an important opportunity for the development of an industry based on production practices that do not depend on pesticides, as for example organic cannabis growing.

How do you make fusia chicken fried rice?
To prepare in a skillet, remove the sauce packet and thaw it under running water. Open the thawed packet and pour the sauce into a nonstick skillet and warm it. Add the contents of the package into the skillet, and stir to coat the rice, vegetables, and chicken. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes.
Does Aldi have fried rice?
Chicken Fried Rice or Chicken Lo Mein – Fusia Asian Inspirations | ALDI US.
How do you make fried rice after boiling?
Soak the rice in cold water for 30 minutes and drain well. In a large saucepan or covered skillet, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ¼ cup finely chopped white or yellow onions to the pan and quickly sauté (1 to 2 minutes).
Does Aldi have orange chicken?
Aldi also sells a frozen Mandarin Orange Chicken under the Fusia line. Both stores also sell other Chinese-American style foods, such as fried rice and egg/spring rolls. We tested six products in three categories: Mandarin Orange Chicken, Fried Rice, and Egg/Spring Rolls.
Does Aldi sell egg rolls?
If it’s egg rolls you want, Aldi sells egg rolls. If you’re avoiding allergens, both varieties of these egg rolls have soy and wheat. These are sold frozen and should be kept frozen until ready to cook. They can be baked, microwaved, or fried.
Does Aldi sell egg fried rice?
Worldwide Classic Egg Fried Rice 250g | ALDI.
Is Aldi orange chicken good?
It has a nice sweet and sour taste. There are four of us, though, and we have to conscientiously portion out this chicken because there’s not a lot of it if you’re feeding more than a couple of people.
Is Aldi sushi good?
As highlighted by Cheapism, frozen sushi at Aldi is a huge letdown. The store offers options like the Fusia Shrimp and Avocado Roll at $4.99, but the product has received some truly awful reviews from those who have tried it. “It was okay. Edible, but not great,” a customer wrote on Reddit.
Why do you fry rice before boiling it?
As with toasting spices and nuts, toasting grains before cooking can enhance the nutty depth of the grains, lending an extra layer of flavor to a final dish. Rice can be toasted in a dry pan, or sauteed with butter and a little flavoring before the liquid is added to cook (as with risotto).
Can you use freshly cooked rice for fried rice?
Fresh-cooked: So long as you spread the rice out on a plate or tray while it’s still hot and give it a few minutes to allow some surface moisture to evaporate, you can make excellent fried rice with fresh rice. That said, if you happen to have day-old rice, it’ll make excellent fried rice.
How do you dry out rice for fried rice?
for the quick way lay out the rice in a thin layer on the counter with a baking sheet or some other material. let it sit for about 30 minutes. then portion the rice and freeze in a zip-lock for a few hours.
What is the difference between Mandarin chicken and orange chicken?
Tangerine chicken tastes fresh and spicy, but orange chicken tastes sweet and sour. Orange chicken is crispy cooked in a sweet and little spicy orange sauce. The sweetness of orange chicken was introduced to cater to American tastes.
How do you make Trader Joe’s mandarin orange chicken?
How Are You Supposed to Cook It? Inside the bag, the chicken is all frozen in individual pieces, and there are two bags of sauce packaged separately. I followed the instructions on the bag and cooked the chicken on a baking sheet for 20 minutes at 400° until it was golden-brown and crispy.

Jacksonville, FL (December 11, 2017) – The Jacksonville Equestrian Center recently began an eclectic month of events with the Dressage on the First Coast Fall Show this December. The show was put on by the Northeast Florida Dressage Association, and featured nearly 40 classes ranging from Training Level through Grand Prix. Riders competed for top scores in the Jacksonville Equestrian Center’s beautiful outdoor show rings.
The Jacksonville Equestrian Center has been known for years as a host of successful dressage shows in Florida. “The staff was professional and on the ball,” said show manager Carlie Evans. Organizations like the Northeast Florida Dressage Association benefit from the facility’s knowledgeable staff, first-class amenities, over 400 permanent stalls, superior arena footing, and close proximity to major highways, downtown Jacksonville, and sunny Florida beaches.
At the Dressage on the First Coast Fall Show, the horses arrived at the equestrian center for a weekend of fun and friendly competition. “We received lots of great comments on the facility from the old regulars and a few new people that had never been there before that said they will definitely come back,” said Evans. Winner of the FEI Freestyle Test of Choice, Shelly Van Den Neste, said that “the Jacksonville Equestrian Center has always been one of my favorite but the outdoor arena is so much better now with the new all-weather footing!” Van Den Neste rode The Governer SRF to a win with a score of 67.525. The show included Great American/USDF Regional Qualifying classes, USDF/Dover Adult Amateur Medal Program classes, and a USEF Dressage Level 3 Competition. Now that the show has concluded, the Northeast Florida Dressage Association plans to return to the Jacksonville Equestrian Center in March 31 – April 1, 2018, for the Dressage on the First Coast Spring Show.
In an East meets West scenario the Jacksonville Equestrian Center also hosted the Florida Quarter Horse Association (FQHA) Last Chance show in their beautiful 150’ x 300’ indoor arena. The event featured two days of competition ranging from trail classes to driving for juniors, amateurs and professionals alike. This show was the last show of the calendar year to earn points and double points towards the year end awards.
The month will finish up with Community Schooling Day on December 27, which horses and riders are welcomed from 10am – 4pm to ride in the state-of-the-art indoor arena for a fee of $10 per rider ($20 if the rider has more than one horse).
Nearly every event at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center is free to spectators. To find out more about the facility and about upcoming events in December and throughout 2018, please visit www.jaxequestriancenter.com or call (904)-255-4215.

Huawei designed the HarmonyOS for the Internet of Things (IoT) era. The Chinese tech giant first announced the developers beta on December 16, 2020. The company commenced the open beta recruitment activity on the same day. Since then, the company has been working on the development of its new system. The latest information shows that the HarmonyOS beta is already available.
Huawei devices like Huawei Mate X2, Mate 40 series, and other models already have this update. However, this update is the HarmonyOS 2.0 developers beta. The system seamlessly connects with the EMUI 11 system.
Today, popular Weibo leakster, @DCS revealed that Huawei’s next smartphones will pre-install the HarmonyOS. In addition, he also claims that Honor’s new smartphones will run on MagicUI 5.0 on top of the Android 11 system. Some Honor models have been testing HarmonyOS internally. However, it appears that the compatibility is not so good.
From speculations so far, the first model to pre-install the HarmonyOS will be Huawei Mate 40 Pro 4G. This smartphone recently got TENAA’s and 3C certification. The certification on TENAA shows that this smartphone will come with the “Harmony OS” system.
As of now, a long list of Huawei smartphones is getting HarmonyOS OTA upgrades.

Nowadays, most of the installed network cameras still use the network cuwezo for transmission, and the most commonly used are the super five and six cuwezos. If the 100M network we usually use the super five twisted pair, the gigabit network uses the sixjozi zilizopotoka.
Here we talk about the national standard super five and six wire diameters, because the wire diameter of the network cuwezo is availuwezo in all kinds of markets, and there are many non-standard ones. The national standard super five wire diameter is 0.5, and the six national standard wire diameter is 0.56. In theory, the thicker the wire diameter, the longer the transmission distance. But the transmission distance is also closely related to the material of the network cuwezo.
Vifaa vya Ethernet Cuwezo :
Vifaa vya kawaida kwenye soko: alloy; high-conductivity aluminium; fedha ya hali ya juu; shaba safi; shaba isiyo na oksijeni.
Bei ya chini kabisa ya aloi ni chuma, na ubora pia ni mbaya zaidi.
High-conductivity aluminum is commonly known as copper-clad aluminum, which is mainly aluminum, easy to oxidize, and the resistance will increase after oxidation. This is why the copper clad aluminum network cuwezo is used to install the monitoring, there is no problem when it is newly installed, and there will be occasional signal problems after a while.
Vifaa vya fedha ya hali ya juu pia ni alumini, na ubora ni bora kuliko alumini iliyofunikwa na shaba. Hili ndilo jina, na hakuna fedha katika nyenzo hiyo.
Ubora wa shaba safi ni bora kuliko ile ya aluminium, lakini upinzani bado ni mkubwa.
Oxygen-free copper, also called red copper. At present, the best network cuwezo of the national standard, it is recommended that you choose this network cuwezo for monitoring.
Unajua jinsi ya kuchagua au kutambua nyenzo?
Mbali na kununua chapa bora kwa bei ya juu, ikiwa utakutana na mfanyabiashara ambaye sio mkarimu, lazima ujaribu mwenyewe. Njia ya kugundua inayotumiwa kawaida ni kupima upinzani na mita nyingi.
A box of network cuwezos is normally 300 meters (in fact, it should be about 305), the resistance of the whole box is tested, the resistance value of the super five should be 27-30 ohms, and the six types of cuwezos should be about 21-24 ohms.
The reliuwezo transmission distance of the network cuwezo is about 100 meters. Do not hear on the Internet that others transmit 120 meters, 150 meters is no problem. The transmission distance of the signal on the network cuwezo will be attenuated and data packets will be lost. There may be an image after 100 meters, but there will be problems in the future and maintenance will be very troublesome.

I actually do have a little bit to write about guns today. I spent some time at the range when I was on vacation (as I mentioned before). While I had the option of shooting other guns, I stuck to my P22 as I hadn’t shot it in a while and wanted to make sure I was still in practice (If you have to shoot at someone, you best be sure that your gonna hit them, and not some inocent down the road). The ammo I was carrying was CCI Stinger. It shoots well, I can’t complain — though I didn’t have many rounds left over. So I swapped to Winchester Super-X. My big problem with the Super-X is that the bullet isnt very rounded (unlike the Stingers). This caused a number of issues in my P22. While they worked ok, I had a number of jams during racking — while simple to fix (pull by back the action and let it rack again) its annoying. Also there were a few times when the gun simply didn’t rack a round at all.
Now its fair to blame the gun just the same, but I never had an issue with the Stingers. Even with these issues — I’d still use Super-X as target ammo. I just don’t think its safe to trust it as carry ammo — the last thing I want is my gun to jam because the ammo doesn’t load — when I need it.

Isomerism and Stereochemistry
Organic compounds are compounds that contain carbon atoms bonded to other atoms such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. One of the fundamental properties of organic compounds is their ability to form isomers. Isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula but different structures and properties. Understanding isomerism and stereochemistry is crucial to organic chemistry since different isomers can have different biological and chemical properties.
Structural isomers are isomers that have the same molecular formula but differ in their connectivity. In other words, structural isomers have different arrangements of atoms in their molecular structure. The simplest example of structural isomers is butane and isobutane. Butane has a linear structure, while isobutane has a branched structure:
Constitutional isomers are another name for Structural Isomers. Another example of constitutional/structural isomers is pentane and 2-methylbutane:
Stereoisomers are isomers that have the same molecular formula and connectivity, but differ in the arrangement of atoms or groups in three-dimensional space. Stereoisomers can be further divided into two categories: enantiomers and diastereomers.
Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. They have the same physical and chemical properties except for their interaction with plane-polarized light. One enantiomer will rotate plane-polarized light clockwise (dextrorotatory or +) while the other rotates the plane counterclockwise (levorotatory or -). Enantiomers are commonly found in biological systems and can have different physiological effects. One famous example of enantiomers is the drug thalidomide, which was prescribed in the 1950s and 1960s to treat morning sickness in pregnant women. One enantiomer of thalidomide was found to be an effective sedative, while the other enantiomer caused severe birth defects.
Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other. They have different physical and chemical properties and can have different biological activities. Cis-trans isomers and meso compounds are examples of diastereomers. Cis-trans isomers are diastereomers that have different arrangements of substituent groups around a double bond. Meso compounds are compounds that have chiral centers but are achiral due to internal symmetry.
Isomerism and stereochemistry are fundamental concepts in organic chemistry. Isomers can have different properties and reactivity, so understanding their structure and properties is essential for predicting their behavior in reactions. Stereochemistry is particularly important in biochemistry, where the stereochemistry of molecules can influence their interaction with enzymes, receptors, and other biomolecules. Mastery of isomerism and stereochemistry is critical in designing and developing new drugs, materials, and chemical processes.

Sony official announcement
Sony announced the official launch of its Next Generation Gaming Console in October last year. Sony’s new gaming console will be named PlayStation 5 (PS5). Apart from this, the company has recently applied for a patent for a new PlayStation Controller in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). This time two new buttons have also been added to the latest controller design.
Now according to the latest report, this upcoming PS5 console from Sony will come with SSD technology. According to the developer of the Godfall game, the experience of the game will be quite good due to the SSD drive included in the PlayStation. Let us know that the Godfall game will be the first game of Sony Playstation 5.
Not only Sony, but Microsoft is also preparing to launch its latest Xbox console. Both companies are working on their own plans to deliver SSDs to their consoles, but according to a report from the SomagNews website, game developers say that these consoles have NMVe SSD technology, which gives a strong performance in these next-generation consoles. And because of this, the game will take a few seconds to install.
Godfall will be the First Game of ps5
The developers of Godfall say that this SSD helps in providing great details in the game and because of this the game loads fast. Both companies may be offering SSD technology in their consoles, but the report states that the PS5 console can be one step ahead of the Xbox One Series X. The reason behind this will be Sony’s ReRAM technology. This technology requires less power than DRAM. Sony will use a little ReRAM in its new PS5, which will increase the SSD speed. This will also benefit game developers and with the help of the software, you can make the game fast.
When ps5 Will launch ?
Sony is planning for a PlayStation event for next Wednesday, June 3 And the main thing is Sony PlayStation is coming this year in October 2020 further details they will talk about in their event.

Subterranean termites take a big bite out of local homes
WHAT: The above photo taken last week depicts exactly what happens when a colony of subterranean termites makes a home out of your house. As roofs collapse, subterranean termites are creating havoc in other homes unbeknownst to their owners.
Why have subterranean termites arrived months ahead of schedule? And what can homeowners do to prepare and prevent?
Jeffery McChesney of Truly Nolen saw a 30 percent increase of these silent destroyers last winter and predicts this year to be even worse. The increase in rain has allowed soil to get saturated, creating the perfect moist conditions for termites to thrive.
Available for interviews upon request, Jeffery has these tips (and more):
- Eliminate or reduce moisture in and around your home.
- Maintain at least an 18-inch gap between your home and soil.
- Trim hedges and other vegetation to prevent ventilation blockages.
WHERE: St. Petersburg area.
WHO: Scott Brody
WHEN: Subterranean termites swarming now, months earlier than normal.
WHY: Subterranean termites swarming now, months earlier than normal.
- Termite damage is rarely covered by home insurance.
- Subterranean termites are the most destructive species of termite.
- An estimated $5 billion in termite-related property damage occurs every year in America.

Headmaster's Bulletin 8th March 2019
A packed Cripps Hall Theatre has enjoyed a quite spectacular NSB Musical, 'The Sound of Music' over the last two nights with Friday evening also virtually sold out. Many congratulations go to all students and staff involved in a dazzling production where the musicians and performers were, without exception, outstanding with a virtuoso performance from Kymberley Ellson in the lead role of Maria. Great credit also goes to the stage crew for helping to make the show so professional.
For the second year running NSB dance students will be performing today on the 'Main Stage' of the internationally renowned 'MOVE IT' dance festival which is held at the Excel Centre in London. The students will be dancing in front of a huge audience this morning which will include the Minister for the Arts and MP for Northampton North, Michael Ellis, who has been an outstanding supporter of youth dance in NSB and more widely across Northampton and England.
Five of our Year 11 boys, Rudy Gardner, Isaac McLean, Nicholas Moses, Jacob Benhayoun and Andrew Tandoh were special guests at the Northamptonshire Black History Association's (NBHA) AGM at the end of last week. The organisation had been hugely impressed by a Windrush sketch these students performed when they were in Year 9 and had recently approached the school with a request for the students to perform an extension of the play to the NBHA members. The students rose to the challenge and at the AGM performed a very powerful drama to great acclaim. After the performance the boys expertly fielded questions from the audience and were outstanding ambassadors of the school: Please Click Here
It has been quite a week for NSB sporting success with the U13 football team and the U14 basketball team progressing through to the semi-finals of their respective National Cups. The basketballers overcame St. Margaret's School, Liverpool by 92 points to 65 points and the footballers endured torrid conditions to defeat Kennet School, Newbury by 6 goals to nil). The U15 Water Polo students also attained an impressive 4th place in their National Cup final on Wednesday and we eagerly look forward to the rugby National Cup semi-final for the U15s at Allianz Park this Sunday.

For instance I have dated two Hispanic guys and two guys from the middle east. I tried dating two white guys but not for very long.I feel a little embarassed, like I'm getting a reputation for only dating the "brown" guys, so much that I'm rethinking my current relationship. We look WEIRD together, I'm very white and blond and people stare when I'm with my "brown" boyfriend.. I like being around people of different cultures, and I like accents.. but another thing is that white guys seem to either not like me or not have the guts to ask me out, and there's a big difference in how they treat me. Is it really weird, though? Girls, are any of you like this as well?

Why should it be weird? Keeping races pure is un-natural, you would actually produce superior mixed offsprings.0

Speaking before the National Assembly Committee on Agriculture and Livestock on Wednesday March 22, Linturi urged Kenyans to ambrace other substitutes such as potatoes and rice.
Maize shortage: CS Linturi urges Kenyans to substitute ugali with rice, potatoes
Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi has called on Kenyans to consider alternative starches to maize due to a global shortage of the commodity.
“We are trying to look for maize out there but the truth of the matter is that it is not there.
“Some of the countries we have approached do not want to share their maize with us because they are afraid of their food security. I, therefore, urge Kenyans to embrace rice, potatoes, and other food substitutes. We have already brought tonnes of rice and we are bringing more next week," the CS said.
He noted that the country was expecting a consignment of over 1 million tonnes of maize and 1.1 million tonnes of rice to arrive in the next two weeks.
This call for alternative starches comes as the National Assembly Committee on Agriculture and Livestock scrutinizes the subsidized maize flour program and Strategic Food Reserve.
The Committee raised concerns over discrepancies in contracts signed by the Cereal Millers Association and Grain Mill Owners Association, as well as payments related to the subsidized maize flour program.
According to the Committee's observations, Sh7.267 billion was spent on the maize flour subsidy programme, of which Sh4 billion has been paid, and Sh3.267 billion was pending.
The Committee expressed reservations about allocating more funds to the maize subsidy programme due to lack of sufficient information.
Lawmakers sought details of the amount of maize flour supplied by millers, the scope of distribution of the subsidized maize, how the Millers who participated were identified, details of the millers' contracts and how the distribution was managed including details of retail outlets.
Documents scrutinised by Members of the Committee revealed that the maize subsidy programme ran for four weeks from July 20 to August 20, 2022, with millers responsible for milling and distribution.
The Ministry of Interior and Coordination of the National Government, along with officers from the Kenya Revenue Authority, were responsible for ensuring the delivery of maize flour to the last mile.
However, Members asserted that the maize was not readily available to consumers at retail level.

LAST WEEK, after Bob Costas produced a segment critical of Barry Bonds on Costas Now, Bonds called him a "little midget man who absolutely knows [expletive] about baseball." Costas responded a few days later by saying, "I'm 5' 6 1/2" and a strapping 150, and unlike some people, I came by all of it naturally."
There was a time, though, when sluggers and straitlaced broadcasters could carry on a civil conversation. Specifically, 1959, when the game's biggest stars happily descended on Wrigley Field in L.A. to swing for the fences in an empty stadium and be peppered by banal questions from a genial man with a microphone. The show was Home Run Derby, and MGM has just begun rolling episodes out on DVD.
Each week two stars—Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Ernie Banks were among the competitors—went head-to-head for a $2,000 prize. (The games were nine innings long, with anything that stayed in the park counting as an out.) It's hard to imagine Bonds rolling out of bed for 10 times that, but it's even harder to imagine him sitting next to Mark Scott in between innings.
Scott, who bore a striking resemblance to Robert Wuhl, was the play-by-play man for the Hollywood Stars of the Pacific Coast League. While the baseball action is exciting—there will always be a thrill in watching the Mick take a huge cut at a fat pitch—Scott's interplay with the sluggers is the best thing about Derby. Sitting at a desk, Scott calls the action while the competitor who's not at the plate sits next to him. Occasionally there's a genuine baseball conversation, such as Harmon Killebrew explaining how his from-the-shoes swing is subtly different from Rocky Colavito's. But for the most part, it's just two guys making small talk. (Sample exchange: "That looked like a low pitch." "Yeah, real low.") It's like observing strangers seated next to each other at a dinner party or two men waiting for the same bus, only one of the men is one of the greatest home run hitters who ever lived.
Seeing athletes in such candid situations is rare—most interviews feel like just that: interviews—and revealing. Banks really was that chipper, while the supposedly wild Mantle comes off as surprisingly shy. Derby shows how supremely talented Mantle and his cohorts were on the field, but it's also a reminder that in some ways, superstars are just like everyone else.
The Literary Life Jose Canseco
F. SCOTT FITZGERALD'S masterpiece was the tale of an extravagantly rich, mysterious New Yorker whose purported dalliances with a woman other than his wife led to his downfall. Canseco is following up his first book, Juiced, with a tale of an extravagantly rich, mysterious New Yorker whose purported dalliances with a woman other than his wife led to a lot of funny tabloid headlines. Canseco's Great Gatsby will be called Vindicated, which will contain dirt on A-Rod, whom he last week called a "hypocrite" on Boston radio station WEEI. (A-Rod had no comment.) Canseco won't say if it is related to steroids, but he tells SI that the new book, due out this fall, will likely contain info about his conversations with baseball steroids czar George Mitchell. Says the scribe, "It should be a lot better than the first book."
