Honolulu to accept 5,000 new rent relief applications
Posted by Simon Longstaff August 11, 2021
Households making 80% or less of Oahu's median income are eligible to apply for the relief
The City of Honolulu will accept 5,000 new applications starting Thursday from renters who are struggling to pay their rents due to the pandemic.
Households making 80% or less of Oahu's median income can apply. For a household of four, that is $100,700 a year.
A household must show it is struggling financially because of the pandemic, have at least one member at risk of losing housing or at least one member has been unemployed for 90 days when applying in order to qualify.
Renters can go to Honolulu's Rental Utility Relief Program online to apply.
The Rental and Utility Relief Program is a major part of the City's outreach to help our neighbours stay in their homes and make landlords whole, said Amy Asselbaye, executive director of the Office of Economic Revitalization. We urge Oahu renters who are struggling from the pandemic to see if they qualify, and get ready to apply.
The program helps landlords by making direct payments to approved landlords of up to 12 months of unpaid rent or future rent, Asselbaye said.
The City will use the money from the next allotment of federal rent and utility funding to expedite payments for the remaining approved applications.
The City's community partners will start processing new applications from this round once these payments have been made.
We greatly appreciate our partnerships with Catholic Charities Hawaii and the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement in keeping families housed, as well as the support of the Hawaii Interagency Council on Homelessness, The Mediation Center of the Pacific, Legal Aid Society of Hawaii, and community groups such as the Koolau Housing Hui, Asselbaye said.
The program has already approved more than 6,000 households, distributed nearly $50 million to landlords and utility companies since it began in April.

What do we mean by 3D?
You've heard the term bandied around a lot, I'm sure. Let's start with our eyes (which is where all Visual Effects start!). Because we have binocular vision we can 'read' how far away obstacles are and avoid them, or know how to pick up objects easily, or estimate distance. In short, we're comfortable living in three dimensions.
In comparison, until recently compositing has been a flat affair with layers of flat images where depth has been suggested by the compositor using tricks like blurring certain layers so focus looks different on some objects, or manually animating different layers at different speeds to imply parallax, the phenomena where nearer objects seem to move faster when the camera moves.
Another trick is to put a slight blue haze over objects in the far distance. This phenomena is called atmospheric perspective and it's been exploited by landscape artists since the renaissance. The effect is actually caused by water droplets in the air. Look at any landscape painting and more likely than not the artist will have painted objects in the distance with less contrast and a blue hue to imply distance.
Flat, layer-based compositing (like you do in Photoshop) usually works fine; but it has real limitations if you want to move your viewpoint around the scene, change your position even when the original camera was fixed, or move forward into a particular shot. That's where 3D comes in.
To avoid confusion, we should be more specific about what we mean by '3D'. When compositing in 3D we are still arranging individual layers, as with 2D compositing, but the difference is that the layers can now be positioned anywhere within a three dimensional space, which means that distance or depth is now a factor.
This is different to the fully 3D, sculpted or constructed environments of a Pixar or Dreamworks movie, or the 3D worlds in some computer games. However this difference is changing as a range of compositing software such as After Effects can work with 3D models using additional plug-ins, and HitFilm 4 Pro, Nuke and others have 3D model functionality built-in, so the lines are being increasingly blurred.
In 3D animation or games (which we can't cover here), everything is modelled in software like Maya, 3DS Max, Blender, Cinema 4D, - and many other such software packages, before being rendered out into flat images for the screen. That's a subject in itself.
This week we are working in 3D space rather than building believable objects in 3D. That means flat images are arranged at various distances away from our viewpoint. The Computer starts to see our composite in terms of not only horizontal and vertical space, but also depth. These are referred to as X (horizontal), Y (vertical), and Z (depth) co-ordinates.
Whilst we're covering definitions, if you are an avid cinema goer you may have also heard of Stereo 3D, where you wear glasses so each eye gets a slightly different image, giving the impression of depth. Again that's very different to the 3D compositing process, so we won't mention it again!
As mentioned, the illusion of depth can be hand-crafted in 2D compositing by animating layers at different speeds relative to each other.
Once you move into 3D, you no longer need to fake it. Layers exist in 3D space and you get parallax movement and perspective for free. Constructing a 3D scene can actually feel more intuitive because it relates more to the way we deal with space in the real world. So why don't we do everything in 3D if it's so great? Well, one thing to note is the fact that your computer is now being asked to remember all that Z co-ordinate (depth) information, and that means things can slow down, so you need to use the technique sparingly on some machines.

Ben Glover releases new single "Sweet Wild Lily"
Sweet Wild Lily is the new single from Ben Glover and is the second single from his upcoming EP of the same name, which will be released next month.
"I feel that in the recording of Sweet Wild Lily we dropped into a new sound for me," says Glover. "It has an alt-country, Americana flavour, that hints at the folk-rock of 1970's Laurel Canyon. The character of Lily is inspired by a composite of a few people I know. She is trying to find her way back home to herself. Maybe though we all have a bit of Lily in us, I mean, who hasn't been lost, who hasn't been entangled by the world, who hasn't gotten stuck in the story we tell ourselves?"
As with Glover's recent single, Arguing With Ghosts, the track features Belfast-based guitarist, Colm McClean. Ben says "Colm's playing hugely shaped the feel of this recording. I recorded the vocals and acoustic in Nashville and sent over to him with a little guidance on what direction to head. As it turns out he didn't need any guidance at all as he conjured up something really special with the electrics on this."
Glover has taken the production reigns on the Sweet Wild Lily EP, working alongside engineer, Dylan Alldredge, recording in Alldredge's Skinny Elephant studio in Nashville.

STAR WARS NEWS: Jon Favreau to Helm New Star Wars Series for Disney
By Muuka Muyumba
March 8, 2018 News, TOP STORY
In a move that has seemed somewhat inevitable, Lucasfilm has tapped Iron Man and Jungle Book director Jon Favreau to produce a live-action Star Wars TV series for Disney's upcoming streaming service.
Favreau has one of the pillars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe having written, directed, and starred in Iron Man in 2008. Favreau has also been involved in upcoming Star Wars projects having played roles in both the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series and in the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story.
"I couldn't be more excited about Jon coming on board to produce and write for the new direct-to-consumer platform," says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. "Jon brings the perfect mix of producing and writing talent, combined with a fluency in the Star Wars universe. This series will allow Jon the chance to work with a diverse group of writers and directors and give Lucasfilm the opportunity to build a robust talent base."
Lucasfilm has recently been under some fire for its continued reliance on straight, white, and male creatives at the head of its project development. We'll have to see whether fanboys and girls will give Kennedy and Lucasfilm the benefit of the doubt as minority hires can still happen under their current creative structure. This does continue a confounding lack of diversity in its film division.
The untitled Star Wars live-action series does not yet have a release date.

Car Audio Tips Tricks and How To's : 1997-2004 C5 Corvette Double Din/In-Dash Car Stereo Install, Yes It Is Possible!
Are you looking to upgrade your car stereo in your 1997-2004 C5 Corvette? Do you want a full double din in-dash? Well you are in luck! Most of you may know the 1997-2004 Corvettes come with a din and a half factory stereo size, so fitting in a full double din in-dash has pretty much been out of the picture, unless you could find a good installer to custom fit one for you. Well I have found a company that makes GREAT custom dash panels for these vehicles that can save you a lot of time and headache.
This is what the factory stereo looks like, as you can see it's not a full double din.
Fitting the new stereo will require some time and patience in order to get it positioned just right. You will first need to remove the metal brackets that are riveted horizontally behind the stereo and below the A/C controls. Once the stereo is positioned just right you will then need to relocate the A/C controls slightly lower. There are also a couple metal tabs above the stereo you will need to bend up in order to get the stereo to fit right.
As you can see it really comes out nice! I have done quite a few of these with great results.
These are just a couple of the ones I did, I wish I had pictures of the others. Unfortunately I lost a lot of my work pictures. If you got any questions let me know...If you wanna inquire about the custom panels I will post the link again below.


With public schools back in session as of today, let's remember that it was from the classrooms of New York City that the call for "Equal Pay for Equal Work" was sent thundering around the world.
After Hogan's sudden death, Grace Strachan led that effort. In 1907, she led over 600 women into the halls of the Albany Legislature to attend a hearing of Senator Horace White's equal pay bill; in 1911, she led all 15,000 members of the Association to victory.
Over the staunch objection of the Board of Education, and dedicated opposition of groups like the Association of Men Teachers and Principals of the City of New York, Mayor Gaynor signed a bill requiring equal pay for male and female teachers in New York City.

Sherlock Holmes & the Bogus Bin Laden Report
By Stephen Masty|2014-01-28T09:20:09-06:00July 9th, 2013|Categories: Foreign Affairs, Politics, Stephen Masty, Terrorism|
I found the Great Detective in his Mayfair club as expected at that hour, and we left the Reading Room where talk is forbidden. I had rushed to give him the recently leaked Pakistan Government report on Osama bin Laden, who had rivalled Professor Moriarty in evil cunning. But Holmes had read it already, of course; his brother Mycroft had sent an advance copy by Foreign Office courier. I was dazzled by the report's honesty, the vicious criticism of its own bureaucracy, of negligence and mind-boggling incompetence that kept the mass-murderer free for many long years. Surprisingly, my aloof friend embraced me.
"Ah, my dear Watson!" he exclaimed. "Ever so loyal! Ever so earnest, attentive and reliably wrong! Were the report not so amateurish and so painfully obvious a fraud, it might have been the hoax of the decade!" I was crestfallen.
He rang for some pre-prandial club Madeira, a late-vintage Sercial. "You will recall, old friend, my celebrated case of the dog that didn't bark in the night. Which dog is not barking here?" he asked and I averted my gaze in silent embarrassment.
"Their own intelligence services, of course. Testimony from the head of the ISI, their military Inter Services Intelligence directorate, is mysteriously absent from the document which alludes to it nevertheless." Holmes held his glass of amber liquid up to the gaslight and admired the reflection.
"How convenient," he mused, "how obviously and stupidly convenient. If that is a mere oversight, my dear boy, then I am Queen Marie of Roumania!" He clapped his hands, rose abruptly and began to pace through the empty card-room, between the baize-covered tables and simple bentwood chairs.
"Next," he continued, "the authors let slip that his house and compound in the military garrison-town of Abbottabad, in which Osama was discovered by the Americans and later killed, were specially built to contain him. From the photos they were made to look old, in a style common to the 1940s and no later than the 1960s, like the surrounding residences; you will recall my monograph on Pakistani vernacular architecture, written just after my more famous work on cigarette ash." I nodded thoughtfully.
"It took a lot of planning and preparation, especially by his two peasant bodyguards from the uplands if they had no outside help, especially in a nearly omniscient police state in a town overrun with military, military police and military intelligence," he posited. "But why a new building instead of hiring an old one?" he asked. "Why go to all that expense and trouble? Why risk the scrutiny that could have been avoided by taking an old house long familiar to the neighbours?"
He paused to fill his calabash, then realised that smoking in clubs had been banned, cursed and jammed it back in his jacket pocket.
"Just as a guess," he pondered, "for the same reason that Osama was housed in the middle of an army town instead of lodged somewhere remote and private. An old building may have been already bugged by anyone; a new one bugged only by the government agency erecting the building from scratch while keeping him under jealously tight surveillance."
"You are a marvel, Holmes!" I exclaimed.
"Next we examine the motive," he insisted. "There are two possible explanations and two alone. Either their keen and well-funded intelligence service completely missed the world's most wanted terrorist as he moved about freely year after year, or the ISI—crammed with radical Islamists since the days of General Zia ul Haq—sheltered their hero but now would rather appear incompetent than evil. The answer speaks for itself in a police-state where one can't have a dinner party without intelligence reports being filed."
"Next we turn to how they claimed the unbelievable and botched the job with this flimsy report," Holmes continued methodically.
"Pakistani spooks can be clever," he surmised, "but only possess a certain low cunning. They should have left a few gaps in their published findings to create believability. Instead, they covered all possible explanations and tipped their hand. The arrogant blunderers must have been so proud of themselves."
Holmes continued: "They said the bin Laden affair 'culminated in the avoidable humiliation of the people of Pakistan,' with 'culpable negligence and incompetence at almost all levels of government,' trying to make their document look sincere by uncharacteristically slamming their own state security apparatus. Weasel-wording would have been traditional and hence more credible were it an independent report to an unsuspecting government. This suggests that their primary audience is gullible foreigners, not their leaders who probably approved every word."
"It rails against an 'American act of war,' and a great humiliation; credibly reflecting popular opinion there and deflecting the obvious criticisms," Holmes declared. "The more clever defence, Watson, is always a careful self-indictment, or better yet incandescent patriotic rage. This document tries both."
"Next, by the authors predicting that their findings may be suppressed," he mused, "the six-month delay between publication and the intentional leak made it seem all the more believable. Then, ultimately, by still warning of 'the possibility of connivance inside or outside the government,' they gave themselves, and their masters, the ultimate escape clause. It could have been astoundingly unbelievable negligence or else," he added, slipping into a music-hall Pakistani accent, "Goodness Gracious Me! The nefarious evil-doing of someone else entirely!"
"How bloody convenient!" snapped Holmes, slamming his empty glass on the nearest tabletop. "Their report lets you choose only between two carefully selected options, cloaking the one obvious answer that they want to cover up; their wholesale protection of the world's most wanted terrorist after Moriarty! They mock thousands of innocent Americans murdered in the Twin Towers, Watson! They mock us too! Damn them, Watson! Damn them all!"
Holmes thrust his hands deep into his trouser pockets and stared into the glimmering coal fire. Slowly, his rage subsided and my friend adopted his usual reflective tone.
"So, to paraphrase that famous case of mine, we heard the barking and presumed there was a dog, but there was no dog at all," he concluded mildly. "There was only the incompetent whimpering of a decidedly Third World government guilty of abetting terror, who overdid their excuses and gave themselves away."
His voice rose again in his usual intellectual pride: "Quod erat demonstrandum, old friend! Circumstantial analysis of course; but so far, game, set and match!"
He paused and turned, displaying his famous aquiline profile over a clenched fist: "By thunder and mark my words, Watson, this struggle isn't over yet!"
"But Holmes!" I exclaimed "Have you told the Foreign Office?
The detective smiled: "Sir Malcolm was leaving just as you came in. No doubt over supper he will speak to our friends in Grosvenor Square, at the American Embassy." He looked at his gold pocket watch.
"Watson, old fellow, the club chef's serving jugged hare again. It's one of your favourites and last orders are at nine. Let us stroll upstairs, shall we?"

SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE CASE OF THE MISSING STINGERS
Forget about Susan Rice and all the talking point lies. Forget the Congressional investigation into who changed the talking points. Just make the case simple. Who killed ambassador Chris Stevens? Treat the Incident at Benghazi as a murder mystery.
We could call in the famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes to help solve the murder. Holmes, who was really the creation of the author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, when not playing the violin or investigating a crime, once remarked, "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
Odd as it may seem, Holmes may have been on the case longer than we know. The blogger Bookworm wrote in 2012 about the incident at Benghazi, "Sherlock Holmes certainly understood that, when wrongdoing is at issue, silence is as significant as noise:"
He continued, "The Benghazi cover-up is so huge that the drive-by media isn't doing it's usual lying, puffing, and obfuscation. Instead, it's fallen completely silent. It is pretending that Benghazi never happened." (1)
According to Holmes, what are the impossibilities that must be eliminated to solve the murder of ambassador Stevens? What is the improbably explanation that remains that helps us find the murderers? So far, there have been at least three explanations for the murder of Chris Stevens.
The first explanation is the explanation put forward by the White House. Ambassador Stevens was murdered by a rioting mob that was protesting an anti-Muslim video. This explanation is impossible and has been discredited by most who have looked into the murder. Holmes would soon learn that the attack at Benghazi was well planned and had noting to do with a video.
It would become clear to Holmes that the US Congress is wasting its time looking into the morphing of talking points the administration put forward as a smoke screen. All the while Congress is issuing subpoenas, the real murderer is covering his tracks. Holmes had seen this type of misdirection before.
Next, we have the explanation of a gun running scheme that went bad. Stevens was supposedly involved with members of al-Qaeda in Libya and was illegally moving shipments of guns and weapons, especially ground-to-air missiles, via Turkey to Syria.
A deal was going down at Benghazi the night of September 11, 2012, but something went wrong. The Libyan rebels, who wanted the arms to support the rebels in Syria, then killed Stevens.
Glenn Beck thinks there is something to this explanation. "This is why the White House covered," Beck claims, "because our ambassador was killed by a guy we were running guns to and we are still running guns today," If these claims are true, then Congress must make the evidence about the gun running public. Beck should testify and tell us all he knows about the Incident at Benghazi. (2)
Yet, this explanation is also an impossible cause for the murder of Stevens. Even though we are beginning to learn that indeed there was illegal gun running being done at Benghazi and Stevens, as a supporter of the Arab Spring and the Libyan Revolution was involved in it, where is the motive to kill him?
Why would the Libyan rebels bite the hand that feeds them? Even if the rebels disapproved of Steven's lifestyle, they had no motive for murder. They were getting what they wanted, either dollars or weapons.
Furthermore, the attack at Benghazi was well planed, financed and executed. It was not spontaneous. Stevens' would have known a deal was going badly long before the night of 12 September. Gunning running has to be eliminated as an impossible cause for Stevens' murder.
The most improbable explanation for Stevens' murder, the explanation that remains, is that Stevens was killed as part of a foiled kidnapping plot. Stevens was part of a plan to kidnap an American ambassador, negotiate his release in exchange for the blind Sheik held in a US prison, and then have the US president emerge as a hero and win reelection.
Holmes was lead to this kidnapping theory by his knowledge of Arabic and his reading of an "al Qaeda-linked website, Dhu-al-Bajadin. The website claimed that Stevens was given a lethal injection that was overlooked during his autopsy." (3)
Furthermore, on October 11, 2012 the author of the blog The Last Refuge claimed, "Benghazi was not an assassination attempt, it was a botched kidnapping…The kidnapping was botched when the two ex-Navy Seals, not aware of the plot, decided to offer resistance…The al-Qaeda goal was to kidnap Ambassador Chris Stevens and ransom him back to the U.S. in exchange for Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman." (4)
Walid Shoebat also gives credence to the kidnapping theory, and takes the theory a step further. He involves the president of Egypt in the plot to kidnap ambassador Stevens. Shoebat writes in his article, Hostage Crisis: The Blind Sheikh, Benghazi and Smoking Guns, "A Libyan intelligence document has been produced that directly implicates Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood president Mohammed Mursi in the attacks on American installations in Benghazi on 9/11/12."
Shoebat continues, "Four-star Admiral James Lyons (Ret.) who on November 14, 2012, appeared on Fox Business Network with Lou Dobbs…During that interview, Lyons said he believed the only reason that made any sense relative to Ambassador Stevens being in Benghazi on 9/11 was a kidnapping operation in which Stevens could be traded for the 'Blind Sheikh.'" (5)
A complex plan, indeed, but it was a plan that could have been executed in far off Benghazi. A good plan, too, except something went wrong. What went wrong was the fact that some Americans at Benghazi who were not part of the kidnapping plot put up a fight.
This fight killed many Libyans. The other Libyans felt betrayed and turned on Stevens to torture and kill the ambassador. No one likes to be double-crossed.
The theory that the Incident at Benghazi was a foiled kidnapping to use ambassador Stevens as a bargaining chip for the release of Omar Abdel-Rahman, The Blind Sheik, depends on where former Navy Seal Woods and Doherty were on the night and the subsequent morning of the attack.
If Woods was not aware of the kidnapping plan that involved Stevens, then Woods' courage to defend the Americans may have thrown a monkey wrench into the attacker's plans. Woods and others were the reason "things went horribly wrong" for the attackers. (6)
Holmes does not know to what extent ambassador Stevens was involved in a kidnapping plot to further the President's reelection. Given Stevens' attachment to both the President and the Libyans who overthrew Gaddafi, and his interest in Islam, it is not unreasonable that Stevens could have entertained such an idea.
Holmes does know, however, according to an article by Terence P. Jeffrey, "…a security team left the CIA annex in Benghazi to go to the aid of the nearby consulate less than 25 minutes after the attack started at 9:40 p.m. Benghazi time (3:40 p.m. Washington time)."
"This team included former Navy Seal Tyrone Woods…It rescued some people at the consulate, sending them back to the CIA annex." The team could not find ambassador Stevens, who by this time may have been in the hands of the attackers.
The action taken by Woods may have foiled the kidnapping plans and had the consequence of the kidnappers killing Stevens and planning another attack of revenge hours later. (7)
"By 11:30 p.m. this security team itself left the consulate to return–while being attacked–to the CIA annex. In the meantime, as the Los Angeles Times reported of the timeline, another security team came from Tripoli to Benghazi aboard a chartered airplane."
"[T]he CIA also sent a second six-member team from Tripoli on a chartered plane to help repel the attack," reported the Times. "This team included Glen Doherty, another former SEAL, who was later killed when attackers fired mortar rounds at the CIA Annex."
From this timeline, it is evident that Woods and Doherty were killed seven hours after the first attack. Seven hours is enough time for the attackers to kill Stevens, regroup and attack again. Seven hours is also more than enough time for Holmes to fly in a passenger jet from London to Benghazi and back.
Recent events in Egypt support Holmes' theory of the crime at Benghazi. The removal of Egyptian President Morsi, the Incident at Benghazi and Obama may be linked together in a chain of deceit that some are now beginning to understand.
Perhaps Obama still supports Morsi because Morsi knows the truth about what happened at Bengahzi. Some have suggested that the Incident at Benghazi was a failed attempt to kidnap ambassador Stevens and use his release to further Obama's reelection. Walid Shoebat gives credence to the kidnapping theory, and takes the theory a step further. He involves the president of Egypt in the plot to kidnap ambassador Stevens.
Shoebat writes in his article, Hostage Crisis: The Blind Sheikh, Benghazi and Smoking Guns, "A Libyan intelligence document has been produced that directly implicates Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood president Mohammed Mursi in the attacks on American installations in Benghazi on 9/11/12."
Furthermore, in a recent article Aaron Klein asks the question, is "Egypt's Morsi behind murder of U.S. ambassador?" Klein writes, "…several major Arabic newspapers ran with a story, first reported by the Kuwaiti paper Al Rai, quoting a Libyan intelligence report on the Benghazi attack that mentions an alleged connection to Morsi and other prominent Egyptian figures. The report…is based on purported confessions of some of the jihadists arrested at the scene. The report states that 'among the more prominent figures whose names were mentioned by cell members during confessions were: Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi; preacher Safwat Hegazi; Saudi businessman Mansour Kadasa…'" (9)
If Saudi King Abdullah wants revenge for the toppling of his friend Hosni Mubarak in February 2011, for which he held President Obama responsible, he may release to the press details of the Benghazi attack that point to involvement by the Muslim Brotgerhood and Morsi. (10)
The motive for the Incident at Benghazi was revenge and the attackers had seven hours to commit murder. The means were the weapons already in their possession. We can imagine Holmes, smoking his pipe and coming reluctantly to this conclusion: Stevens was murdered because the kidnapping plan failed.
All Holmes has to do now is tie up a few lose ends. We will understand now why the US president was not to be found the night the Benghazi incident was going down. Did he know about the plan to further his reelection, so he need not be involved? The White House has remained silent on this matter.
Once word reached Washington that things were going badly at Benghazi, the last thing the administration wanted to do was to send help. That would make a bad situation even worse. So, a stand down order was issued, with the hope that every thing would work out in the end, or be covered up by death.
As to the video, well that was already set up to offer an explanation for the kidnapping. So why not use it to cover the failure, too? If the kidnapping had been successful and Stevens' release secured, the media would have focused on the release and would have ignored the video.
After the blanks are filled in and the role of the US State Department in all this is laid out, can you imagine Dr. Watson saying, "Why Holmes, this is brilliant. The improbable has become the actual."
"Elementary, my Dear Watson, elementary."
Now, if we can just get Sherlock Holmes to testify before Congress. Then, we may be able to put this mystery to rest. We will have solved the murder of ambassador Stevens and the case of the missing Stingers.

Mayor Del Vecchio Delivers Meals on Wheels to Lambertville Residents
Lambertville Mayor Dave Del Vecchio recently helped deliver freshly-prepared food to older Lambertville residents as part of the Meals on Wheels program.
With federal budget cuts to the program threatened in Washington, "It was an important time to demonstrate support for this essential program that helps so many of our home-bound and often isolated older residents," explained Del Vecchio in a press release.
"We appreciate Mayor DelVecchio participating in the 15th annual March for Meals Campaign," said Regina Hlasney executive director of Meals on Wheels in Hunterdon, Inc. in the release. "It's a nationwide celebration of Meals on Wheels and the vulnerable seniors who rely on its vital services.
"This March, hundreds of local Meals on Wheels programs like Hunterdon's will reach out to their communities to build the support that will enable them to deliver nutritious meals, friendly visits and safety checks to America's seniors all year long," Hlasney added.
Meals on Wheels America is the oldest and largest national organization supporting the more than 5,000 community-based senior nutrition programs across the country that are dedicated to addressing senior hunger and isolation. With more than two million volunteers in a nationwide network, Meals on Wheels delivers nutritious meals, friendly visits and safety checks that enable America's seniors to live their lives with independence and dignity.

マニィコーチン (Manii Kōchin)
Turnabout Reminiscence
Colias Palaeno
It's been 10 years. Manny recovered personally from that case, and dove enthusiastically into this job. He was the one who planned this event, and was to oversee this embassy's renovations. It really is a shame. He had such a bright future ahead of him.
Manny Coachen was secretary to Colias Palaeno, the Babahlese ambassador to the United States. Although he was the prime suspect in the KG-8 Incident, he was acquitted under suspicious circumstances. Ten years after the KG-8 Incident, Coachen was found murdered in the Cohdopian Embassy.
The KG-8 Incident Edit
Main article: KG-8 Incident
Arriving to murder Cece Yew.
For at least ten years, Coachen worked under the Cohdopian ambassador to the United States, Quercus Alba, as part of his secret criminal syndicate, helping with his counterfeiting and smuggling operations. One day, he was instructed to kill an employee of the allied Amano Group in order to keep her from testifying against the corporation. Coachen was arrested and tried for the crime, but agents of the Amano Group stole the evidence required to convict him, so he was acquitted. Coachen also kept in contact with a spy planted at the trial, who ended up joining Byrne Faraday and Tyrell Badd to form the Great Thief Yatagarasu. Three years later, Coachen observed a trial after which the spy was found out and forced to escape.
Working at the embassy Edit
When Cohdopia divided into two countries, Coachen began to work for Colias Palaeno, ambassador of Babahl, while Alba retained his ambassador's position in Allebahst. When reunification plans for Allebahst and Babahl were discussed, Coachen saw this as his chance to usurp Alba as the smuggling ring's leader. To this end, he enlisted Ka-Shi Nou to break into the Allebahstian embassy and steal Allebahst's Primidux Statue. The idea was to swap it with a fake, so that when the two countries became Cohdopia again, Palaeno would be made ambassador, removing Alba's authority and extraterritorial rights.
However, Alba got wind of this plan. On the night of a goodwill event at the embassy, Alba murdered Coachen with a knife in the Theatrum Neutralis, and moved his body into Coachen's office, in order to throw suspicion off of himself. Ironically, Alba's plan, intended to strengthen his position as the smuggling ring's leader, would lead to its destruction, as he would be apprehended by the American authorities for the murder.
Mugshot.
Coachen was effectively the second-in-command in the Cohdopian smuggling ring, owing to his position in the Babahlese embassy. Overall, he was a very greedy and treacherous individual. His greed led him to hiding some art pieces in his safe, as well as attempting to betray his master.
"Manny" (a diminutive of the male given name Emmanuel) may be a play on "money", in reference to his involvement in counterfeiting with the smuggling ring. Alternatively, it could come from "manny", which is an informal term for a male nanny; this could be in reference to his work under the slightly naive Colias Palaeno.
"Coachen" may be a play on "coaching", in reference to his job as Palaeno's secretary.

What is the quickest and fastest standing start 1/4 mile ever RECORDED/VERIFIED for a CB750A Hondamatic?
This may have been asked and answered previously, but I could not find it if it was.
That's a really good question! Probably have to divide it up between N/A and turbo. I think Bill bought a turbo 750A but not sure how quick it was.
The old dragbike.com website once had an other bikes section with a lot of cb750 info. It was going to be archived but I'm not sure if it ever was.
Probably one they dropped from a plane.
Ahahaha , and by a Suzuki dealer.
I believe RC was said to have built one that went in the 9's.
Jon Weeks said that he had one in the 10's, but I can't recall the details of it.
I've heard that rumor but cannot come up with anything definitive. Did read an old article in a bike mag but it was very vague.
And he can't/won't provide proof. Was asked to do so, but will not even post pictures of his Auto.
Doesn't matter 'cause you're building the record breaker anyway.
Thank you for the confidence Bud.
Sure would like to know what the record is though we be breaking!
Hoping to put it deep enough there's no question.
Ah so! You too funny Bro!
Wish I had time to help you out. I've made it my goal to finish the house by the end of the year.
A bit of that article. No times mentioned.
I recall seeing a second small write up in a magazine that did offer times. Pretty sure Benton fwd it to me and I can't seem to locate it.
Not surprised he had trouble holding the bike with that front brake. J Weeks was right about needing a 300 or 320mm rear rotor with at least a 4 piston caliper. I'd use a 6.
I'm thinking I read that coan rebuilt some torque converters for the CB autos for a higher stall speed. That would ease up on the huge rear brake needs. I think they mostly just clearance them, didn't get into fin angles and such. And is it true the early car converter and some other trans parts also fit the 750A?
Jon helped me get my stator machined. I'm pretty sure that Neal Chance did the work. Just machining though, no changing angles or anything fancy.
We have been through this. I have an auto engine here for Bill that is 72mm and it has a lot of bells and whistles. I promise to have it completed by Thanksgiving. Bill needs to get a real rear brake and get rid of the struts/ancient RC swingarm. It should pull about 5,000 stall and with a brake that holds it will screw.
Jim French had Sam auto's converter done by a place in Houston. The name escapes me now.
That was Brittain Parts Services. They have an assembled one pictured on their website.
That particular one is rumored to look like it was "machined" with a hammer and chisel.
I hate to put out bad PR on anybody not being a personal witness. Maybe the owner or his mechanic will chime in.
Just guessing you can probably get a more professional job done by Chance if he will do them.
Brittain Parts Services, please accept my apology.
I have been advised that the converter from Brittain was reasonably OK only requiring minor cleanup.
The "abomination converter" was the first one Jon provided for SamAuto, the origin of which is in question.
Forgive me if this has been answered before, but would it be possible to fit a "trans brake" to the Auto? As I understand it, the brake operates two gears at the same time, effectively locking the trans, without relying on the rear wheel brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling through the beams..
All transbrakes that I know of block the trans into first and reverse. Could there be another way? Not that I can think of, but there are certainly smarter minds than me out there.
Bill has chassis 90%. Rear brake correct, 6 piston or at least 4. Have a 4 now. When Samauto goes to the track again.....it will have a button brake line lock only thing on left handlebar to push/release. Bike will run and look good! Mike, thanks and good luck finishing up the Triple.

Q: Normal $*$-homomorphism Let $\pi:\mathscr M\to\mathscr M$ be a normal $*$-homomorphism between a von Neumann algebra $\mathscr M.$ Assume $\mathscr M$ has a normal semifinite faithful trace. Does $\pi$ extend as a bounded map between noncommutative $L_p$-spaces?

A: No, this already fails in the abelian case. Take $M = L^\infty[0,1]$ with the trace coming from integration against Lebesgue measure. Let $\pi$ take $f(x)$ to $f(x^2)$, i.e., composition with the squaring map. Then $f(x) = x^{-3/4}$ belongs to $L^2[0,1]$ but $\pi(f)(x) = x^{-3/2}$ does not.

Occupational health and safety for migrant workers
Peter Watson, Watson & Watson
Migrant workers are an essential source of labour for many UK firms across a whole range of industries, (particularly construction, agriculture and healthcare).
Although Brexit has the potential to raise a host of questions about their work-related migration, it's probably safe to assume that migrant workers will continue to play a key role in the UK's labour market and as such it makes sense to think about the occupational health and safety issues which can impact them.
Communication issues
Be aware that there may be people who can speak and understand English well but not be comfortable reading and writing in English and vice versa. There are three main approaches to addressing this.
The first is to confirm an individual's level of competence in each specific area of communication and work within that.
The second is to produce information in the individual's native language and the third is to work through non-linguistic communication, for example to images instead of words.
Be very cautious about placing too much value on English-language qualifications, especially if they were earned some time ago and there is no evidence that the migrant worker has kept their language skills in practice. Migrant workers with "rusty" English skills may acquire a reasonable level of fluency fairly quickly, but there will probably need some time to do so.
It's also important to note that communication issues can feed into a lack of understanding between migrant workers and British ones, which can harm the mental and emotional health of migrant workers.
Lack of understanding of their practical needs
In the UK, it is standard practice to ask new employees if they have any special needs of which the employer needs to be aware and, more specifically, if they have any specific requirements which need to be met in order for them to be able to work in a healthy and safe manner.
Even if this process is undertaken with migrant workers, it may not be as effective either because of language issues or because of a lack of understanding of the UK's working environment.
In particular, migrant workers may be hesitant to make employers aware of any issues they may face in case they experience negative consequences as a result. It is therefore crucial that migrant workers are made aware that such questions are standard in the UK and that there are no negative repercussions to answering them honestly.
Need for further training
Even if vocational qualifications are compatible with their counterparts in the UK, there is a strong possibility that migrant workers will require further training to make sure that they understand the legalities and practicalities of working in the UK.
For example, while the principle of health and safety may apply across borders (in theory at least) not only is there a wide degree of variation regarding how it is applied in practice, but UK-specific requirements such as RIDDOR, by definition, only apply in the UK and hence migrant workers will probably need to be made aware of them.

Many people see a need, but precious few step forward to help fill it. In a class by themselves are Jim and Bonnie Bell of Bell Investment Advisors. As Season Sponsors for Piedmont East Bay Children's Choir, they have shown their support in many important ways. We are extremely grateful for their passion, their energy, and their support of our programs. Below is a brief conversation with the Bells.
Q. What first attracted you to the Piedmont East Bay Children's Choir (PEBCC)?
Bonnie: The very first time I heard the Piedmont Choirs – at a gala about 10 years ago – I was filled with tears and so much emotion I couldn't speak. I was channeling my mother, who was a lifelong musician - an opera singer before I came along - a music teacher who taught orchestra, band and many choirs and students over a lifetime. She was still conducting two choirs at the age of 80! I sang alto in choirs growing up and have always loved choir music! I was overcome that first night with the sense my mother was with me in the assessment that this was the best choir either of us had ever heard, adult, professional, or otherwise – certainly the best children's choir in the world!
Q. What motivated you to become a Sponsor?
Jim: We love the mission of PEBCC and the positive effect it has on children. There is no better way than choir training to teach children to speak and sing clearly, to stand and move with grace and good posture, and to exude confidence with adults in social settings. I love the PEBCC community of families, and as a business dedicated to community development, it became clear that this was an opportunity to help an organization that is very important to us.
Q. Why is the choir so important?
Jim: I am fascinated by the history of civilization, and so much of what we know about civilization is passed down and expressed through art and music. The future of civilization is not guaranteed; it takes investment and commitment to nurture its future. We invest in children to fulfill our dream of contributing to the future.
Q. What kind of reaction have you had to your sponsorship?
Jim: Many people are surprised by all the contributions Bell Investment Advisors makes to the community. We are proud that generosity and community engagement are now part of our brand. It helps us to attract clients who are also generous and engaged. It is an honor!
Q. What is it about the choir that makes this partnership such an honor?
Jim: Bob Geary, Sue Bohlin, the staff and board bring so much heart and dignity to their work. We asked Bob if the choir could sing at one of our corporate events recently and our clients were just blown away that we have this sensibility and capacity to integrate music, children and business. For us, it is about Making A Good Life Happen!

Henry VIII was born on June 28, 1491, at the Palace of Placentia in Greenwich, England. He was the third child of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. While still a child, Henry was appointed Duke of York and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. In 1501, he was appointed Prince of Wales after his brother, Arthur, died of an ear infection. In 1509, Henry became King of England, at age 18, following the death of his father. Nine weeks after his ascension, he married Catherine of Aragon, the widow of his brother Arthur and the daughter of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain.
During his reign as King of England, Henry initiated major changes in England. In 1534, he decided to sever the 1,000-year-old relationship between the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England. Although there had previously been some movement in England toward separation, it gained political support when the Roman Catholic Pope Clement VII refused to annul Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon. At the time, Catherine could no longer bear children, and the couple had not produced a male heir to the throne. Henry proceeded to make himself the head of the Church of England so that he could guarantee the annulment. In 1538, Henry began a process known as "The Dissolution of the Monasteries," in which all property of monastic institutions (Roman Catholic monasteries) was confiscated. The sweeping religious changes became known as the English Reformation. In 1555, however, England returned to the Roman Catholic Church under Queen Mary I. In addition to the religious reformation, Henry initiated the Law in Wales Act (1535 - 1542), in which the nation of Wales was annexed, creating a single nation and a single legal system. As part of the act, the English language replaced the Welsh language in Wales.
King Henry is probably best remembered, however, as having six different wives during his reign as king. Catherine of Aragon was his first wife. After 20 years of marriage, Henry had the marriage annulled. Immediately after the annulment of his first marriage, he married Anne Boleyn, the daughter of British nobility. The couple, however, could not produce a son, which convinced Henry that God did not approve of the marriage. Henry made up false accusations against Anne, and she was convicted of treason. She was beheaded at the Tower of London in 1536. Their daughter, Elizabeth, would eventually become Queen of England. Henry immediately married Jane Seymour. Jane gave birth to Henry's only son, Edward. Twelve days later, however, Jane died from complications caused by the pregnancy. Some historians maintain that Jane was his favorite wife. Edward would later become King of England. Next, Henry married Anne of Cleves in an attempt to forge an alliance with Germany. Henry found Anne unattractive, and they agreed to a divorce six months later. Henry then married Catherine Howard, a cousin of Anne Boleyn. At this time Henry was 50 years old, and his new bride was only 19. She was soon beheaded after she was accused of adultery. His last wife was Katherine Parr, who was essentially a nurse for the portly king during his final years. She succeeded in reuniting Henry with his children. On January 28, 1547, Henry died. He was buried at the Castle of Whitehall next to Jane Seymour.

WASHINGTON — With American aid going to Kurds, Poles and others around the world who are in trouble, says Sen. John Breaux, D-La., the same sort of aid should go out to communities which will lose jobs and money as military bases in their regions close.
Breaux and Sen. William Roth, R-Del., announced a package of tax credits and other benefits designed to aid towns around the country where 78 military bases will likely be closed or streamlined according to a Pentagon plan to chop its budget.
The list of bases, which includes Ft. Devens, was drawn up by a presidentially appointed base closure committee, approved by President Bush, and will go to Congress for approval.
The Breaux bill, called the Base Community Recovery Act, is a package of tax credits to businesses and employees that aims to ease the blow to the affected communities, where thousands of jobs will be lost and entire communities fear they may dry up.
Breaux said at a press conference Thursday that no cost figure had yet been attached to the plan. Revenue lost through the credits would approximately equal the tax revenues lost if workers remained unemployed, he said.
Breaux and Roth introduced a bill in June that would give the closed bases to their communities, after environmental clean-up, for free. Ordinarily, these bases would first be offered to federal agencies, then to the state, and finally to the local communities.
Increases the authority of communities to issue low-interest, tax exempt bonds in these areas.
The actions are "aimed at addressing the economic bombshells the Pentagon has dropped on 78 bases in 23 states," said Breaux at a press conference Thursday.
For example, he said, 12,000 jobs, $228 million in sales and $257 million in household income will be lost at England Air Force Base and Ft. Polk, the Louisiana military bases slated for closure.


A full documentation loan is one that requires that the borrower present all necessary documents, including income verification to be considered for the home loan. This type of loan usually offers lower rates because it is less risky for the lender.
One of the many types of home loans offered to borrowers is called a fixed rate mortgage. Unlike an adjustable rate mortgage the monthly payments for a fixed rate mortgage stay stable through out the life of the loan. This type of home loan is most commonly available in 15 and 30 year mortgages and can provide the stability many home buyers require during unstable economic times.
Several adjustable rate mortgages are available to homeowners and they include 6-Month Certificate of Deposit ARM, 1-Year Treasury Spot ARM, 6-Month Treasury Average ARM, and the 12-Month Treasury Average ARM. An ARM that reacts quickly to the market will allow the borrower to benefit from falling interest rates. An ARM that lags the market will allow the borrower to take advantage of lower rates when rates being to increase.There are several aspects of ARMs that impact interest rates including the index, margin, interim caps, and payment caps. The index of an ARM is the financial instrument that the loan is linked to and indexes move up and down with the market. The margin is added to the index to determine the interest that the borrower will pay. Caps, such as the interim cap, protect borrowers against rising interest rates. Payment caps, on the other hand, place a maximum on the amount a borrower must pay. This type of cap also protects against payment shock associated with rising interest rates.

All four of President Trump's short list of Supreme Court nominees were splendid selections. Congratulations to his top choice, Judge Brett Kavanaugh. There are four reasons why the Catholic League believes he is a great pick.
1) Kavanaugh came down squarely on the side of Priests for Life in rejecting the Obama administration's claim that there should be no religious exemption from its Health and Human Services mandate. He said that this mandate, which ordered Catholic non-profit organizations to provide for abortion-inducing drugs, contraceptives, and sterilization in their healthcare plans, was in violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
2) Kavanaugh turned back a challenge to the constitutionality of Inaugural prayers brought by atheist activist Michael Newdow. He did not mince words, saying that the religious significance of this well-established prayer cannot be discounted, and in no way runs afoul of the First Amendment provision regarding separation of church and state.
3) Kavanaugh made a strong case for religious liberty by challenging the right of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority to censor a Christmas bus ad sponsored by the Archdiocese of Washington. The agency banned the ad because it "depicts a religious scene and thus seeks to promote religion." The scene, which shows a silhouette of shepherds and sheep on a starry night, is inscribed with the words, "Find the Perfect Gift." The ban was criticized by Kavanaugh who called it "pure discrimination."
4) Kavanaugh offered a stinging dissent in a case brought by the ACLU that sued the federal government for not facilitating an immediate abortion for an illegal minor. He accused the majority of overreaching, of assuming supra-constitutional authority. He also noted that the government had "permissible interests" in "favoring fetal life," thus sending a clear message to those who deny that there is life in the womb.
For these reasons alone, we are confident that President Trump made the right decision in choosing Judge Brett Kavanaugh to sit on the high court.


In less than two weeks, thousands of truckers will descend on Washington, D.C., driving their big-rigs and calling for the restoration of a constitutional republic – while their friends and families will simultaneously join other Americans rallying on overpasses across the nation for Obama's impeachment.
The Truckers' Ride for the Constitution movement is protesting against what organizers say is corruption in government and a trashing of the Constitution. The group is teaming up with Overpasses for Obama's Impeachment to line the routes into Washington with flags during the Oct. 11-13 event. Both Houses of Congress are tentatively scheduled to be in session Oct. 11.
Truckers Ride for the Constitution leader and organizer Zeeda Andrews, a country singer and former truck driver and Overpasses Founder James Neighbors reached out to her, suggesting the two groups form an alliance. "We are going to be out on the overpasses and at truck stops, encouraging the truckers to head to D.C., to join in with the others. They, in exchange, are encouraging their families who are at home to join us on the overpasses", Neighbors said.
On Sept. 22, Facebook removed the truckers' Facebook page, "Truckers to Shutdown America," which had accumulated 86,000 "likes" within days of its launch. While the truckers' group says it has made numerous attempts to appeal Facebook's decision, the page remains unpublished.
The truckers also launched their website and created a second Facebook page called, "Truckers Ride for the Constitution." Neighbors explained, "The goal is to wake up the sleeping giant, the people of America." But this event isn't just another political rally. The joint venture has clear objectives and Neighbors said one goal is to pressure Congress to begin the impeachment process.

Only The Strong: Thriving Pop Punk Intensity from Calgary
Oct 20, 2021 | Bands, Interviews, Only The Strong
Calgary-based pop-punk/easy-core three-piece Only The Strong has launched into the regional scene headfirst, quickly building a strong fanbase in the Calgary area. As they continued to establish a stronghold in Calgary and touring neighboring areas, the band has quickly built a global fanbase with their online presence – especially in the midst of this pandemic age. And now an EP entitled Fractured has been unveiled through Art & War Music Group – jam packed with tunes that will grip your imagination and have you singing along in no time at all. They've opened for the likes of Set It Off, Seaway, and Calling All Captains, and are ready to prove to an entire world that pop punk is alive, well, and thriving with heart and intensity. Highwire Daze recently interviewed the trio of musicians from Only The Strong to find out a whole lot more about this band on the rise…
Introduce yourself, tell me what you do in Only The Strong, and how long the band has been together?
Mason: My name is Mason and I am the vocalist.
Kyle: I'm Kyle, I play guitar and yell loudly in OTS.
Kane: My name is Kane, I hit stuff and try to look cool while doing it.
We are a pop-punk/easy-core band based out of Calgary Alberta, with influences ranging from 2000's emo, and modern day easycore that formed in 2018!
Where is the band based out of and what is your local music scene like there?
Kyle: We are based out of Calgary Alberta, Canada. The music scene here is incredible. There are so many good bands across so many genres from here it's pretty ridiculous. I've seen awesome hardcore bands, black metal bands, punk bands and even indie folk type bands here. I'm glad we can be a part of such a lively and diverse scene.
How did you wind up signing with Art & War Music Group?
Mason: After we released Sinking Ships the pandemic hit and so we had spent that time working on our social media, which must have had an impact because one day we received an email from them asking if we had any management and things kind of blossomed from there.
Is there any overall story or concept behind the upcoming EP title Fractured?
Mason: The overall concept of the EP would just be the feeling of being broken and learning how to cope with that, whether that be from a break up, struggling with mental health, or just past traumas. We can't expect ourselves to feel fine all the time, sometimes we need to just be broken and feel it so we can move on.
Select two songs from Fractured and what inspired the lyrics.
Mason: Writing Vacant was a really cool feeling for me, I couldn't sleep one night and was listening to music in my bedroom sitting on the floor by my bed at 3 AM and then I fell in love with a chord progression and started playing it over and over, then I just started singing along and wrote the first verse and chorus that night, it really feels like one of the most honest things I have written.
Hollow Eyes was inspired by so many things, I had someone that used to be a big part of my life pass away, I was dealing with family issues, and my own personal stress and it reminded me of something my dad said to me when I was a kid. I have struggled with mental health issues my whole life but my dad told me that I had a light that came out when I was helping people and I remember thinking of that, and wanting that to come back so I wouldn't feel hollow anymore.
Who produced Fractured and what was it like working with them?
Kane: Fractured was produced by Cody McManus. He did a really great job at helping us polish each song and was really patient when we had to rewrite some parts. The pandemic struck pretty close to when we started recording so we had to work around restrictions, which made finishing the EP happen in slow motion. Eventually we ended up with a final product that we are all happy with.
What was it like writing and recording new music in the middle of a pandemic and all the social unrest in the world today?
Kyle: Well we really only wrote Vacant during the pandemic but for me it wasn't a whole lot different. I write and record myself then send it off to the guys for their input or to take what I do and mess around with it. We were having a little bit of writer's block in the beginning but then Kane just went and finished the whole song and it basically didn't change from that.
What could one expect from a live Only The Strong show?
Kyle: At one of our shows you can expect a lot of energy. We try to give it our all with every show to make it as entertaining as possible. Mason does flips over me in "Wake Up Call" sometimes so that's pretty cool.
How did your show with Set It Off go and what were some of the highlights? Was this your final show right before the pandemic hit?
Kane: The show with Set It Off was pretty epic. I think the number of friends we made from that show was astonishing. We're thankful that we got to be a part of it. This would have been our last show before the pandemic hit.
If Only The Strong could open for any band either now or from the past, who would it be and why?
Kane: The rest of the band probably knows I'm going to say Blink 182. I've seen them multiple times and their live show is just so fun, and energetic. The way they add parts to their songs when they perform live and the banter between each other is always entertaining. I learned a lot about being a great performer from them growing up.
Kyle: If I get to choose It'd be Avenged Sevenfold no doubt. They are my #1 band and the reason I make music. If we all had to agree on something it would probably be something different but that's my choice.
Mason: It would have to be Linkin Park for me because they shaped who I was growing up and it was always a dream of mine to play with them and meet Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda.
If the music of Only The Strong was a donut, what kind would it be and why?
Kyle: If OTS was a donut I'd have to say a jelly donut. It looks pretty plain and simple on the outside but when you get in there it's actually pretty complex and filled with layers you wouldn't expect.
What's up next for Only The Strong?
Kane: Next we will be starting to write some new material and experimenting a little bit with our sound to try and evolve it.
Mason: There also may or may not be an acoustic song coming soon.
Any final words of wisdom?
Kane: I'd tell people to stay positive and focus on the things in your life that bring you happiness rather than the things you fear or can't control. The state of the world has shaken so many lives, but I believe in the power of mind and I try to keep a positive attitude as much as I can.
Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions!
Anytime! Thanks for having us, make sure to follow Only the Strong on any and all major social media platforms to stay updated on new releases and show announcements!

Homemade "McMuffin" Swap | Hapa...Shot the Food!
It's been a while, I know… I had to take a bit of a hiatus at the end of the semester (and used the subsequent month to recover from it). Hopefully, I'll be a little better with updating.
In keeping with the resolution I made to myself last year to take a little better care of myself, I've been working out and watching what I eat.
This morning, I had several "less-guilty" ingredients on hand, making a "guilt-free breakfast sandwich out of them.
Ingredients: My regular English muffins (Thomas's Honey Wheat, double-fiber, 1), turkey bacon (2 strips), nonfat American cheese (1 slice), and egg whites (1 egg)*.
Let's just say I'm not gonna miss you, McDonald's.
* The flavor of the bacon and cheese balanced well with the egg whites, but if you prefer your eggs a bit yolkier, egg-beaters are a great egg substitute. 2% cheese will also work well if you prefer that to nonfat.

That looks like my kind of breakfast. I'm going to try this very soon. Thanks for sharing!

Gyaraspur is a town in the Vidisha district, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is also the headquarters of a tehsil of the same name.

History

Gyaraspur was of considerable importance in medieval India. The place has several ruins of several old Hindu, Jain and Buddhist places of worship. These include Maladevi Temple, Hindola Torna and the Bajramath Surya Temple.

Transport
Gyaraspur is located near Vidisha (38 km) and Sanchi (48km). Udaipura, famous for its heritage temples, can be reached via Gulabganj and basoda.

Topography
Gyaraspur lies in a gorge of some low steep hills, at distance of about 38.4 km north-east from the district and Tehsil headquarters town, Vidisha.. The place is situated on the old high road to Sagar. Buses ply on the road.

Places to visit in Gyaraspur
The extensive ruins, scattered in and around the Tehsil, narrate the story of glory that was Gyaraspur in the late ancient and early medieval times. These ruins indicate that the place has passed through the influence of Buddhism, Brahmanism and Jainism.

Maladevi Temple: This temple is quite picturesquely situated on the slope of a hill overlooking the valley. Located on a huge platform cut out of the hillside and strengthened by a massive retaining wall, Maladevi temple is in fact imposing and stupendous building. It comprise an entrance-porch, a hall and a shrine surrounded by a circumambulatory passage and crowned with a lofty Shikara all covered with rich carving. Though now Jain images occupy the shrine room and hall, a figure of a goddess occupying the dedicatory block on the outer door frame and other decorative sculptures probably indicate that the temple was originally dedicated to some goddess and it was subsequently appropriated by the Jains.
Hindola Torna: It is one of the 'Toranas' or ornamental entrance arches leading to a large temple either of Vishnu or of Trimurti. Hindola means a swing, and this tarana with its two upright pillars and cross-beam has a truly connotative name. All the four sides of the two lofty pillars are carved into panels with insets of the ten incarnations of Vishnu.
Bajramath Temple: The bajramath is a fine example of a very rare class of temples with three shrines or cells placed abreast. All these shrines now occupied by Jain idols belonging to the Digambara sect. But it is clear from the sculptures placed on the door frames and niches on the basement that originally these shrines sheltered the Hindu Trinity. More precisely the central shrine was dedicated to Surya, the southern to Vishnu and the northern to Siva. The carving of the doorway is exceptionally fine and vigorous. The Shikara of the temple is unusual in its plan and design.

Rob Liefeld's Dreams Are One Step Closer To Reality
Chris Sims Published: March 15, 2010
Despite having a solid twenty years of Cable comics to draw inspiration from, military science has yet to create a rifle with the diameter of a good-sized oak tree that can still be carried around by one person, but as we learned this morning, the people at Area51Tactical.com have done the next best thing.
They have replaced the bayonet with a device that allows you mount a gun... on the front of another gun.
According to the site, the Mako UTA Glock to Picatinny Rail Attachment is designed to create "a unified, tactically enhanced, dual weapon system," and the fact that it is not called the DOUBLE KILLPOWER 9000 bespeaks a level of self-control possessed by its designers that I am almost completely unfamiliar with. In either case, it's a work that is purely brilliant in its simplicity, as they have literally made a gun with another gun on it.
Ostensibly, the attachment is designed to provide soldiers and law enforcement personnel with tactical diversity that would allow them to immediately switch, for instance, between a pistol with a silencer to a larger weapon, or to have a backup handy in case of a jam. Really, though, there's no other way for this thing to have been invented other than for someone to have said "You know, I really like shooting this machine gun, but I really wish I could be shooting another gun at the same time," and we respect anyone who can make such a metal dream a reality.
Plus, it has the added benefit of finally living up to Cable's infamously bizarre weaponry..
...although Dan Fraga's Black Flag is still a ways off.

FMA: The Brotherhood Diaries - Episode 19
Ani-Gamers staff writer Ink contributes a weekly column in which he examines the differences between the original Fullmetal Alchemist and its re-telling, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. To read previous entries, click here.
Watch Episode 19 - Death of the Undying
This time, it's all about homunculi. In an episode almost entirely devoted to these artificial humans, there are bound to be several points to nitpick. First off, the way in which a homunculus is formed:
In FMA1, a homunculus is formed when someone uses alchemy to reproduce life. The resulting creature can hardly be called human, most often resembling an inside-out cadaver. After the abominations are abandoned by their creators (Frankenstein and his monster), fully developed homunculi seek the infant out and nurse it to full health by feeding it "red stones" (possible bits of the original philosopher's stone or man-made imitations). The red stones, or rather the lives of people sacrificed to make them, serve as the life-blood of homunculi.
In FMA2 there seems to be some differentiation. The basic implementation of the taboo still holds true, but it seems that each homunculus is formed around a philosopher's stone of their own, which serves as their heart and feeds their seemingly endless regenerative capabilities. The differences in myth, and more importantly how it is described, leaves room for other ways a homunculus may be brought into the "real" world. And from many episodes previous, you'll remember the "Father" figure, a title which carries a god-like connotation, and one that implies infinite creation possibilities.
The FMA2 homunculus differences are revealed via a rather sub-par battle between Mustang and Lust, which betrays the notion of homunculi as soulless humans by showcasing Lust's ruby red, stone-cold "heart" hooked up within her body by what appeared to be more like wires instead of flesh. This produces an android-eque visual feel and separates the monsters from humanity a little too easily compared to the intricate emotional work of FMA1 (killing's always easier if the victim's not one of your own).
The episode is called "Death of the Undying," and I hear you asking yourself, "who is gonna get it?" There are three homunculi involved in this episode – Gluttony, Lust, and Wrath – who respectively face off against Hawkeye, Havoc/Mustang, and ... patience. And if it is to be a homunculus that dies, then the differences in the rules of death must also be noted.
In FMA1, the death of a homunculus needed but one thing, physical remains of their "original," the person the taboo-ing alchemist was trying to resurrect. Sure, an alchemic array to seal the homunculus was all well and good, but if you're a Mustang or Ed, it's not entirely necessary. In FMA2, however, it seems neither a seal or original artifact are necessary. One of the homunculi is finished off with, shall we say, nothing but red hot, passionate persistence. Add to this the way "Father" was able to kill Greed, and FMA2 totally destroys the mythos FMA1 built, which is mostly a shame in my opinion.
One of the best things FMA1 did was create a world with finite rules and work within those boundaries. FMA2, ill-content to define/confine itself, insists these supernatural threats are tougher to kill than the average human but ultimately mortal enough to not require the same amount of magic it took to create them. How's that equivalent exchange, FMA2? All said and done, however, the death that ultimately does takes place is some of the best and most dramatic animation in the series so far, an absolute pleasure to watch in its bold steps to be affective.
Ink contributes his own pieces and edits those of others pertaining to anime, manga, and games. His reviews and analyses have also appeared in the pages of Otaku USA as well as online over at The Fandom Post and Taiiku Podcast.
