Saudi security forces reveal details of operation against four attackers in Abu Hadria region
kogonuso April 11, 2019 World News,
Saudi Arabia's security forces revealed the details of an operation against four attackers in the Abu Hadria region, who targeted security personnel with guns and explosives.
According to a statement from a spokesman for state security, two wanted men, Majid Al-Faraj and Mahmoud Al-Zarea, were killed during the operation - while others, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were arrested following the operation.
Having identified the men as wanted, security forces intercepted a Tahoe 4x4 vehicle which the attackers were traveling in.
Security forces intercepted them and demanded their surrender, before the wanted men opened fire towards security personnel, who returned fire. The vehicle the attackers were using suffered damage, before they threw a hand grenade at a local fuel station and seized a tanker truck at gunpoint.
A Bahraini woman who had stopped at the fuel station and a Pakistani citizen who had been behind the wheel of the tanker truck were injured in the attack, as were two security personnel. They are being treated for their injuries.
According to the security forces statement, various weapons were seized following the attack including two glock pistols, seven machine guns and a hand grenade. A forged Bahraini ID card with a photo of wanted suspect Majid Al-Faraj on it and SR66,178 were also seized by security forces.
Early reports after the incident suggested the attackers were trying to bypass a security checkpoint to escape Saudi Arabia, as three of them were on a most wanted list in the Qatif region.

Are you tired of all the unwanted content the world wide web offers up, whether you like it or not? It is our privilege to introduce you to the Malwarebytes Browser Extension (BETA). Or, better said, the Malwarebytes Browser Extensions, because we have one for Firefox and one for Chrome.
Protection from tech support scammers: Blocks browser hijackers, and browser lockers, which are used by scammers to drive victims to call centers that use scare tactics to sell expensive technical support (that you don't need).
Faster web page load times: Popular websites download a lot of unwanted content in the background. By filtering out clickbait and ads, Malwarebytes Browser Extension BETA can speed up your webpage load time, saving your sanity and bandwidth.
Prevents visits to malicious pages: Protects you from inadvertently visiting bad websites that host malware content, steal your identity (phishing), load Bitcoin miners in the background, which slow down your computer, and a long list of other obnoxious behaviors that can make your online experience less than stellar.
The Chrome extension can be downloaded from Google's webstore.
Installing the extension is pretty easy. Just follow the prompts when you click "ADD TO CHROME" in the webstore.
And you should see this prompt when the install is complete.
The Firefox extension can be downloaded from the official Firefox Add-ons page. On the Add-ons page, click the "+ Add to Firefox" button and follow the prompts.
Click "Add" to confirm that you want to install the Firefox add-on.
In both Chrome and Firefox, you can make adjustments to the settings of Malwarebytes Browser Extension for more granular control. To reach the settings menu, click the blue Malwarebytes logo in the browsers' menu bar. This will show you the current protection status and two additional links.
Here, you can also find information about what each protection mode guards against.
Under the "Allow List" tab, you can allow individual domains and IPs manually (in case we block something that you don't want to be blocked). You can remove them from the list as well, if you change your mind.
Under the "About" tab, you can check the version information and, importantly, allow the telemetry from the Browser Extension to be sent to us anonymously. This will help the researchers I mentioned earlier to assess whether a domain or IP should be blocked permanently.
The "blocked" page will offer a short explanation of these risks in the upper drop-down menu.
Why, yes, it is! So, you are using it at your own risk. Suffice it to say that both extensions have been downloaded thousands of times, and most complaints so far have been about false positives. All of these have been analyzed, and some have led to changes in the software. On a personal level, false positives are easy to resolve, as the extensions offer you the option to visit the blocked site anyway. Compared to the potential damages done by visiting a malicious site, this seems like small potatoes. It's also possible to disable some of the features if you find them too aggressive for your liking.
We hope to be able to announce the full, official version of the Malwarebytes Browser Extension soon!
Give the Malwarebytes Browser Extensions a whirl, and stay safe out there!
Due to the number of questions concerning this product and those questions not being addressed quickly enough by our content staff, we are going to disable further comments for this post, but please utilize our forums to get quick responses to your queries.


Deb did a great job finishing up all the painting in our place. Everything looks really well finished and she kept our house very clean. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone for any painting need!
Deb was recommended through a colleague and my finance and I are delighted with the colour and work.
There is so much to take into consideration when choosing a colour and Deb was really patient with us. Happy to recommend to anyone who is looking or a painter.
I'm glad you liked the final colour selection Henry. Thank you for the review.
I highly recommend Deb's company Wallnuts for painting. She is friendly, accommodating and did a beautiful job painting our home and assisting in choosing a colour. Experience certainly matters as Deb pointed our problems with matching the difference between our tiles and counters that did not go with our initial selection. I like that Deb only picks up a small amount of paint to start the project to make sure we approve of the choice before purchasing all the paint. We could have ended up with a lot of wasted paint or been stuck with a colour that didn't like. Will certainly use again in the future for all our painting needs and have given her information to a few colleagues.
Hi Andrea, thank you for the review.
Great work! They were here on time and used the best paint on the market. Cleaned up after they were done and were very priffesssional. Highly recommend.
hi Del, thanks for the review.
Hired Wallnuts to paint our basement after a reno. Included spraying and painting everything including some staining with a clear coating. Very satisfied with the finish product and Debs knowledge of products that supports a five year warranty. Will hire again and have referred to colleagues.
Deb painted the whole house for us. The price was reasonable and the job was great. She left the home very clean when she was done and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a dependable job from a friendly, experienced and trustworthy painter.
Deb just repainted our whole house including trims, doors and 2 staircases, she is very knowledgeable, efficient and communication was great through the process, I would definitely recommend her services.
Thank you for the review Luis.
Deb painted our staircase, bonus room , bathroom and upper level. We used 2 different colours. She was very efficient, approachable, reliable, tidy, communicated and kept us informed, completed the job as agreed and even fell in love with our dog. We have already recommended her to 2 people. We will definitely have her back in the future. Thanks for recommending her Salima and Joan!
Deb was recommended through a professional colleague for painting services. I required my home to be freshened up as it had not been painted since we had purchased. Deb gave excellent recommendations for colours and products and worked around our schedule as we have a special needs child. Wouldn't hesitate to hire again for any additional painting required.
Thank you for the review Rory.
Hired deb to redo our cabinets doors and paint the main floor. Always reliable and always a great price.

TACO BELL: "America needs a taco emoji"


Hospitals will be prohibited from denying anesthesia to women during childbirth based on their ability to pay, under a bill signed Sunday by Gov. Pete Wilson.
The bill stems from a case involving a Medi-Cal insurance patient who was denied an epidural while in labor at Northridge Hospital Medical Center in the summer of 1997. An anesthesiologist had demanded that she pay $400 cash for the pain-control procedure--an amount that she could not muster.
Northridge later was cited for breaking six state regulations and ordered to give refunds to as many as 300 women. The state also accused five other Southern California hospitals of demanding cash for the anesthesia although Medi-Cal covers the epidurals.
"It is unconscionable for physicians to withhold pain medication from women in labor simply because their care is covered by Medi-Cal," Wilson said in a statement. "Women entitled to Medi-Cal benefits should receive the same standard of care as women enrolled in private health care plans."
An investigation was prompted by reports in The Times that women who were on Medi-Cal had been told they had to pay cash before an epidural would be administered.
It was the case of Ozzie Chavez that provoked much outrage. Chavez went to Northridge Hospital Medical Center to deliver her fifth baby. As she stumbled into the birthing room, her contractions became strong and painful. When she asked for an epidural, a spinal-based form of anesthesia, a nurse said it would cost $400.
The anesthesiologist refused a check and credit cards, Chavez recalled. The birth was more painful than usual because the baby got stuck, requiring the obstetrician to reach into the birth canal. Chavez had been administered no pain relief.

Little Concerned About Bringing Up A Child In The Public Eye: Alia Bhatt
Actor-producer Alia Bhatt has played diverse, some mind-blowing, roles on screen in her decade-long career. The Gangubai star who turned entrepreneur with her maternity and kids-wear brand Ed-a-Mamma is also a new mommy on the block. Bhatt and her spouse, actor Ranbir Kapoor welcomed their first child, a daughter, on November 6, 2022, in Mumbai, and the former mentioned in her baby announcement post, "is bursting with love and happiness". Recently, in an exclusive interview with a magazine, Bhatt spoke about her life post-marriage, her career choices, and embracing motherhood.
Alia Bhatt recently shared her innermost thoughts on raising her child in the spotlight and why she will never determine what profession her child should take up.

Alia Bhatt on raising her daughter in public eye
Alia Bhatt, who welcomed a baby girl a few weeks back, is excited about her new phase in life but also concerned when it comes to the spotlight that she chose for herself but isn't sure what her daughter would want when the latter grows up. In a recent interview, Bhatt shared her take on raising a child being a celebrity. "I am a little bit concerned when it comes to bringing up a child in the public eye," she said, adding that she has held these discussions with her spouse, friends and family too and this is something she cares about deeply and is protective about. She continued, "While I have chosen this path, I'm not sure if my child may want to choose the same oath when she grows up and, therefore, I don't want a sort of intrusion in her life."
"I don't want to have any fixed idea of what I want my child to pursue professionally."
When Bhatt was asked whether she would like for her child to pursue the same career as hers, she said that it's something that isn't in her hand and she cannot plan or prepare for it. "I don't want to have any fixed ideas of what I want to happen for the child because why should I have any expectations and then be met with any disappointment of that sort? So, in a way, they need the slate blank," she said.
"I've never felt comfortable, happier and more at peace with my body"
Discussing how it's important to be kinder to oneself when it comes to body image, Bhatt revealed that at this stage post becoming another, she is happier with how she looks. "I entered the industry at 17 and, of course, there are conversations flowing around you on how you should look," she recalled. To be honest, she continued, "it did take a toll on me because I did become obsessed with my weight and body but I embraced myself better with time, it took a lot of work to accept and now, I am at peace," she said.

Das Naturschutzgebiet Bird Island Nature Reserve liegt auf einer Insel rund 100 Meter vor dem Küstenort Lamberts Bay, in der Gemeinde Cederberg, Distrikt West Coast, Provinz Westkap in Südafrika. Die drei Hektar große Insel ist mit dem Festland über einen Damm verbunden. Die Insel ist ein wichtiger Brut- und Rastplatz für Kormorane und vor allem Kaptölpel (Morus capensis). Ebenfalls dort ansässig ist eine kleine Gruppe von Brillenpinguinen (Spheniscus demersus) und auf der Seeseite südafrikanische Seebären (A. pusillus). Verwaltet wird das Schutzgebiet durch das Western Cape Nature Conservation Board (CapeNature).

Die Vögel sind an Besucher gewöhnt und so kann man bis auf wenige Meter an sie heran und das Balz- und Brutverhalten aus nächster Nähe erleben. Tausende Vögel sind jedoch sehr laut und produzieren eine Menge frischen Guano. Im neu erbauten Besucherzentrum gibt es ein Guanomuseum, einen Coffee-Shop, ein Aquarium und einen kleinen Pinguinpool.

Die Insel ist einer von sechs Orten weltweit, wo die Kaptölpel brüten, und der einzige Platz, der leicht zu erreichen ist. Guano wurde auf der Insel von 1888 bis 1990 abgebaut. Der Wellenbrecher, der die Insel an das Festland anschließt, wurde 1959 errichtet. Dadurch hatten Hauskatzen Zugang zur Insel, wo sie unter den brütenden Vögeln schwere Schäden anrichteten.

Im Dezember 2005 fiel eine Gruppe der Seebären über die Tölpelkolonie her. Sie fraßen bzw. zerquetschten über 200 Vögel. Daraufhin floh die ganze Kolonie. Für den Tourismus von Lamberts Bay bedeutete dieses einen Einbruch von 65 Prozent. Nach einigen Wochen kreisten die Tölpel zwar wieder über ihrem alten Nistplatz, sie landeten aber mehrere Kilometer weiter, wo die Kolonie für die Touristen nicht mehr zugänglich war, bis jemand vorschlug, Tölpelattrappen auf dem verwaisten Gelände aufzustellen, um die Vögel wieder anzulocken. Schließlich gelänge dieses ja auch Jägern mit falschen Enten. Die Stadt beauftragte einen lokalen Künstler, 200 Tölpelattrappen aus Plastik anzufertigen, diese wurden auf dem alten Brutplatz in die Nester gesetzt. Innerhalb weniger Stunden setzten die ersten Kaptölpel zur Landung an und begannen, die vermeintlichen Rivalen aus ihren Nestern zu werfen. Der Erfolg schien nachhaltig zu sein; 2007 lebten schon wieder über 10.000 Kaptölpel auf der Insel.

When people start thinking about their debt, they are usually focused on their own future. Very few people understand how their own spending habits will affect the lives of their children. The truth is that your debt will put a burden on your children. The higher the debt, the more enslaved your children will become unless you learn how to break the debt curse and start NOW!
The problem is that children learn what they see. If they see you using credit cards, buying what ever you please and always getting more and more with out thought then that is the pattern of behavior they are likely to follow. If you think your financial situation is bad, then multiply it by ten and that is the direction you are sending your children.
It is possible to get your whole family back on the right track. It will take some communication, lots of honesty and a willingness to cut the fat!
1.	Sit down with the whole family and discuss the financial place you are currently at and the financial goals that you want for the future.
2.	Make a budget for all the necessities that you currently spend money on each month.
3.	Put a limit on non-essential items and activities each month.
4.	Set a savings goal for each month and work towards that goal as a family.
5.	Teach the children the reality of the financial world. If they get an allowance then go ahead and begin taking "taxes" out of that money. It can go into a tax fund and the whole family can vote on how to spend that money each year.
6.	Open a savings account for each of your children. Encourage them to do odd jobs for friends and family and to save a large portion of that money.
7.	Think more about giving than about getting. Look at ways you can use your time, resources (including money) and energy to help the people around you.
8.	Take care of what you have already. Keep the house and the car picked up and in order. Clean and straighten it daily. Show respect to the things that you have in your life.
The scary thing about debt is that it doesn't just go away when you die. Everything you borrow and every charge you rack up will pass down to your children to sort out and pay. Not only do they inherit your debt, but your habits will teach your children the same habits.
If you want your children to live a life of freedom, then start teaching them today that they are enslaved by the people they owe. Debt is not a good way to live.

You mentioned the drivers installed. Do you have the correct Motorola drivers installed... 32 bit or 64 bit?
If you could explain EXACTLY what steps you have taken it may help someone smarter than me diagnose your issue. If your correct Motorola drivers are installed I don't know why your phone isn't working.
Finally, I've seen this same question in three different locations on this forum. Cross-posting the same question is a violation of forum etiquette.. so... that might not encourage people to assist you.

Thataiah Park, Mysore
October 15, 2015 by Shantha 2 Comments
Every time I have zipped past the strip of a park in front of Landsdowne building in Mysore with the statue of Thataiah, I have wondered who this "Thatha" (grandfather) was? Now I reveal to myself and to you who this important citizen of Mysore was and about Thataiah Park, Mysore.
M. Venkatakrishnaiah (1844–1933) was fondly referred to as the grand-old man of Mysore or Tataiah. He was a pioneer of journalism, author, social reformer, educator, civil servant and philanthropist. He was born in a poor family at Magge village, Heggadadevana Kote, in 1844. Ravindranath Tagore, Vivekananda, Jawaharalal Nehru, and Mahatma Gandhi have recognized the selfless services of M.Venkatakrishnaiah. Mahatma Gandhi called him as 'Bheeshma of Mysore'. He was loved and respected by the people of Mysore and also people in authority.
He was aware of the intelligence of Sir M.Visvesvaraya and was instrumental in bringing him to Mysore from Bombay (Mumbai). Thataiah convinced the then Maharaja of Mysore to appoint him as the Diwan of Mysore state.
Freedom fighter:
M. Venkatakrishnaiah was a member of the Representative Assembly and a buddy of the first Dewan of Mysore C Rangacharulu. He founded the Mysore unit of the Indian National Congress and led the Satyagraha Movement Mysore. He led to establish the Mysore State Railway labor union to fight for the rights of the workers. M. Venkatakrishnaiah wrote thought-provoking articles during the British reign, which helped spread nationalism.
A firm nationalist, M. Venkatakrishnaiah had stated his views against the British and disagreed with the official point of view on various issues. He had criticized the British when Bal Gangadhar Tilak was convicted of treason in 1897.
Journalist:
M. Venkatakrishnaiah wrote, edited, and published a series of newspapers such as the Hita Bodhini (1883), Sadhvi (1899), Vrittanta Chintamani(1885), Mysore Herald, Poura Samajika Patrike, Mysore Patriot, Mysore Review, Wealth of Mysore, Nature Cure, and Sampadabhyudaya.
Tatayya's contribution to Kannada literature consists of 'Dhanarjaneya Krama' (How to earn money), 'Choragrahana tantra' (the technique of detecting thieves), 'Telemacus', 'Vidyarthi karabhushana' (Students manual) and so on. In recognition of its work, he was elected as the president of the Akhila Bharatha Kannada Sahithya Sammelana held at Davanagere.
Social Reformer:
He campaigned for the cause of education for girls and along with Ambil Narasimha Iyengar they started the Maharani's School. He fought for uplifting the poor and downtrodden. He struggled hard to eradicate untouchability, caste system, and remarriage of widows.
Educator:
He was a teacher in Marimalappa's school and retired as the headmaster of the same school. He is main contributor to make Mysore the "Shikshana Kashi" (educational capital) and a model city. He was in the forefront of the educational movement though his formal education was only till Matriculation. He taught for four decades in various educational institutions.
Philanthropist:
He was the founder of Ananthalaya, an institute to help destitute and orphans. It is one of the oldest charity institutes in the region. He supported the Pinjarapole, the animal care center.
To honor M. Venkatakrishnaiah his statue carved out of the marble stone gifted by Maharaja Jayachamaraja Wodeyar and placed in a park in front of Landdowne building. This park is known as Thataiah park. President V.V.Giri who was a follower of Tataiah inaugurated the statue on September 19, 1969.

BANGKOK, July 2018 – The Asian Institute of Gemological Sciences (AIGS), a leading gemological laboratory, has identified fake gemstone reports bearing the AIGS logo in the gemstone market.
"We have found out that some people made fake reports with a working QR code," said AIGS Chairman Kennedy Ho.
"The only way to be sure that a report is genuine is to check the AIGS website http://www.aigsthailand.com or to make an enquiry via email, with a photo of the report, to info@aigsthailand.com."
AIGS, based in the Jewelry Trade Centre (JTC) in Bangkok, is a leading gemological laboratory and issues hundreds of gemstone reports every day.
Thailand is an important international hub in natural coloured gemstone manufacturing and trade.
"Some unscrupulous people have decided to rip off customers by using AIGS's name. Indeed, they have created fake AIGS reports which look like genuine ones," Kennedy Ho said.
"If you scan the QR code of the fake report, you will be directed to a website: http://www.aigsthailand.co, not ".com".
"We urge anyone who believes they may be in possession of a fake AIGS gemstone report to check the AIGS website or to contact AIGS directly by sending an email to info@aigsthailand.com."
Kennedy Ho added, "AIGS will be taking legal action to the highest extent of the law towards the perpetrators and those who use the fake reports with the intent to mislead others."

Dave Kaptain has filed nominating petitions to run for his third term as Elgin mayor in the April 2 election.
Seven people will be vying for four four-year terms on the Elgin City Council this April, including all four incumbents.
There are also three people hoping to complete the two years remaining to former Councilman Rich Dunne's term and one councilwoman is hoping to unseat Mayor Dave Kaptain.
Monday was the last day to file nominating petitions with the city clerk to be on the April 2 election ballot. Because the number of candidates did not exceed the amount required for a primary, there will not be an election in February.
Elgin City Councilwoman Carol Rauschenberger is challenging Kaptain, who is completing his second term and hoping to land a third.
Rauschenberger filed after Kaptain, placing her name second on the ballot. She announced her plans to run last month, saying that while she agrees with the mayor on many issues, she offers voters an alternative because she brings a different background, experience history and leadership style to the table.
Elgin City Councilwoman Carol Rauschenberger will be a candidate in the April 2 election, hoping to replace Mayor Dave Kaptain.
Rauschenberger is an occupational therapist for School District U46 who returned to her native Elgin 12 years ago. She is midway through her second council term and says she will keep her council were she to lose her mayoral bid.
Kaptain, a retired retired water chemist for the Fox River Water Reclamation District, was elected to the council in 2005 and became mayor in 2011 after defeating three-term incumbent Ed Schock. Kaptain has said he welcomes the challenge and likes that voters have a choice in candidates.
Among the seven candidates running for four open council seats are incumbent council members John Steffen, Tish Powell, Rose Martinez and Toby Shaw. Their challengers are Fred Moulton, a retired network engineer; Anthony Ortiz, a military veteran and paralegal; and Dustin Good, a bartender/manager at Elgin Public House and a Downtown Neighborhood Association Board member.
"Downtown is the heart of Elgin, so much history," Good said. "Working in (the Downtown Neighborhood Association), working behind the bar, you hear of stories that pique interest. I do have some concerns that we are missing out on some opportunities," including businesses that have bypassed downtown Elgin for another town.
Ortiz said one his goals, if elected, would be to find opportunities for Elgin youths that could put them on track to fulfilling jobs.
The three candidates hoping to win a two-year council term and succeed Dunne are attorney Baldemar Lopez, businessman Steve Thoren, and Jerri McCue, a School District U46 nurse and downtown Elgin landlord.
Thoren is known for his home, the Wing Mansion on West Highland Avenue, an Elgin landmark featured as part of Elgin's annual fall house walk.
Thoren said his ties to the preservation community, his work with senior citizens and his local radio show have given him a good handle on what's happening in Elgin.
Lopez said he sees running as a way to give back to the city. While just 70 petition signatures were needed to be added to the ballot, Lopez collected 975.
Lopez said he would like Elgin to spend more to improve the route 25 and 31 corridors as well as downtown, where the city should consider setting up fiber optic lines for high-speed internet.

Ogg Comes to the Hangout
This story is submitted as part of the "Pastiches of Oggbashan" Story Event. It is loosely inspired by, if not in any meaningful way related to the plot or characters of, Oggbashan's story "Whorehouse Chapel." It is meant as a tribute to Oggbashan, one of Literotica's most prolific and versatile authors and one of its most thoughtful and civilized souls.
Ogg crested the hill and looked ahead. The trail forked at a signpost on the summit. To the right it meandered east along the ridge of the hill. Ogg didn't want that way. He looked left. There, the muddy trail he had followed for many miles wound its way downslope to his destination — the Hangout.
"It's not much to look at, is it?"
The words came from Ogg's companion Pilo, a puffin, perched on Ogg's shoulder.
"No, it's not," said Ogg. "And I reckon we may find trouble there. But we must go, even so. Tamara is there. We can't leave her in that place."
Ogg squared his shoulders and set his jaw against the hot, steady wind that buffeted his face. It was late afternoon, and the scene below basked in an amber glow from sunlight slanting down from the west. The Hangout was a wild and unpredictable town, a rude and ramshackle jumble of houses, huts, and bars. It was known throughout the Land of Literotica as a place of short temper, unrestrained depravity, and around-the-clock drunkenness.
But, most of all, the Hangout was known for the gang that controlled it: The Authors. No one knew where they came from, or who they were, but they had descended on the Hangout and taken it over two decades earlier, giving names for themselves that everyone knew were not authentic but that no one dared question. They wrote stories — degenerate stories — and they ruled the Hangout without mercy or morals.
Satisfied with his reconnaissance, Ogg walked down the hill toward the dubious village. A raven circled and croaked overhead.
"Are you sure we need to do this?" asked Pilo, his feathers ruffled and his orange beak snapping.
"I'm sure," said Ogg. "Tamara is my muse. Or, I guess, she was my muse. Then she left. She left for a long time. But I had to find her. I still have to find her."
"How do you know she's here?" Pilo asked.
"A little bird told me."
"I think I'd know something about that." Pilo flapped his wings in disapproval.
"I don't tell you everything," Ogg replied. "Though, God help me, you're the nosiest bird I've ever known."
Pilo, offended, said nothing for a few minutes as Ogg plodded down the hill. The only sounds were the whoosh of the wind and the squelch of Ogg's boots in the trail, thick with mud from a recent thunderstorm. At last, Pilo broke the silence.
"I don't understand," he said. "Why is Tamara so important to you? Why do we have to risk everything to come to this cesspool?"
"I told you," Ogg said. "She was my muse. I met her several years ago. Before you and I met. She was a tavern wench, serving me flagons of ale at a slovenly beer house at the end of the street in a dirty, no-account town. I found out she was a whore, too. When she wasn't serving beer, she was serving tavern customers in a different way in a room upstairs. She confided to me. She wanted to get away. I paid for her time, but we didn't do any . . . you know. We talked all night. I had to pay extra. But it was worth it."
"Wait a minute," Pilo interjected. "Are you saying you paid for a whole night, and you didn't get any action?"
"Yes," said Ogg. "That's what I'm saying. Though, I must admit, I was tempted. She was beautiful. She had the most exquisite, shapely ass I've ever seen. She bent over when she was getting me a drink. I saw the way her skirt, brown and threadbare, molded her behind. I was smitten. I've never forgotten it."
"Hold on," said Pilo. "You say she had the most beautiful ass, but you didn't actually see it? It was covered. How could you know it was beautiful?"
"I could tell. I'm telling you, Pilo, the sight of it hit me like a hammer. I wanted her. Dear lord, I wanted her. But there was something else about her. I knew right away she was a muse for me. I felt stories surfacing just at the sight of her. So, I had to talk to her. I sat at my table drinking and thinking for hours until her shift was done. Then we went upstairs to her room, I paid for her time, and we talked. We talked for hours. She told me about her life. I was enchanted."
"And of course, that ass –" Pilo said.
"Yes, there was that. I had several opportunities during our time together to stare at her bottom. She caught me once or twice, and she smiled. Eventually, after hours of conversation, she fell asleep, her head against my chest. I slept too.
"When dawn came, I awoke, and I told her I had to leave. I said I'd like to see her again, but I had to leave town that day and didn't know when I could return. She drew close to me, and she kissed me, so softly her lips were like flower petals on mine.
"'I'll save myself for you, Ogg,' she said. I didn't know what she meant, because she was . . . well . . . a whore. canlı bahis I didn't get to ask her to explain, because there was a knock at the door. It was the bar owner, letting me know my time was up. I left. Our night together was over."
"I hope you got a good story out of it," said Pilo.
"I did. I enjoyed it. 'Whorehouse Chapel.' It's hard to explain it, but one of the characters is a whore named Tamara. And there's a chapel that's haunted by the ghosts of sex-hungry nuns."
"You always did have a twisted imagination," said Pilo.
"You're right about that," said Ogg. "I went back to that town as soon as I could, but by the time I had she had gone. I vowed, then and there, that I would find her before I died, no matter what. It took me a long time to find out she'd come to the Hangout. I've never forgotten Tamara. She's haunted my mind the way those nuns haunted the chapel in my story. And I've heard she's in trouble — held against her will in this place. I expect there may be danger."
The muddy trail flattened at the base of the hill. A sign greeted them: "The Hangout. Read the Rules. Watch Yourself." Pilo shuddered and shook his head.
"Great," Pilo said. "We're going to die in this town because you've got an ass fetish."
"I don't think we're going to die," said Ogg. "But if we do, it won't be because of that. It will be because we're trying to do something right. And as for that ass — if you'd seen it, you'd agree with me that it's worth the risk. Are you with me?"
Pilo threw up his wings.
"What else am I going to do?" he said. "I'm a puffin in the middle of this godforsaken, land-locked waste. I'm not likely to last a day without your company. You're the only insurance I've got. Let's go. But please tell me why we are doing this."
"It's the civilized thing to do," Ogg said, without slowing.
"The civilized thing to do. To rescue a whore from a shithole like the Hangout." Pilo flapped his wings. "That's what you're telling me?"
"That's exactly what I'm telling you," Ogg said.
So, they went.
It didn't take them long to find the center of the village: a wide, dirty street lined on either side by unkempt and ugly buildings. The largest, looming before them, was a bar. Sounds of raucous revelry came from within. A disheveled man lay drunk and snoring at the side of the entrance door. A prominent sign over the door proclaimed the bar's name: "The Red H."
"That doesn't look like a place worth entering," said Pilo.
"From what I hear, this is the place to be," said Ogg. "We're as likely to find out about Tamara's whereabouts here as anywhere else. Let's go."
Pilo rolled his eyes skyward.
"Don't listen to me. I'm just a puffin."
Ogg climbed the steps to the bar's entrance and opened the door. Inside, the light was dim, and it took a few seconds for his eyes to adjust so he could see clearly. Patrons of every size, shape, and color packed the barroom floor. Most of them had an unsavory air. The din was deafening. Two unshaven men arm-wrestled at a small table to the left, a crowd of spectators shouting encouragement and waving bills around them. To the right, a lissome redhead danced on top of a table and pulled her shirt down and off one shoulder, promising to show more to the beer-swilling, whistling mob below her. Everywhere Ogg looked, beer was being chugged and spilled. Anything could happen here, he thought.
He knew he'd come to the right place. Someone here would know where Tamara was. He was sure of it.
Ogg pushed his way through the inebriated horde to the bar counter. It wasn't easy. The crowd was dense and drunk and mostly unresponsive, although he received numerous glances from patrons looking unkindly at the stranger with a bird on his shoulder.
He made his way to the counter. After a few moments he caught the bartender's attention.
"What can I get you, mate?"
"I'll have a pint of the house ale," Ogg said, "and an answer to a question, if you don't mind."
The bartender filled a glass and pushed it across the counter to Ogg.
"What's your question?"
"I'm looking for a young woman," said Ogg. "Her name is Tamara."
The bartender didn't answer right away, giving Ogg a hard stare instead. Ogg noticed that some of the people near him stopped their conversations and looked at him in an equally hard way.
"What do you want with Tamara?" the bartender asked after a long pause.
"She's a good friend. I'm worried about her. I need to see her."
The bartender paused again, staring at Ogg for a long time. He grabbed the shoulder of an assistant carrying a towel and whispered something into his ear that Ogg couldn't hear. The assistant hurried off and disappeared.
Ogg noticed that more people were looking in his direction, and none of them were looking in a friendly way. The bartender turned away from Ogg and served pints to other customers.
"Excuse me," Ogg said, raising his voice. "Where is Tamara?"
The bartender said nothing and did not look at Ogg. To Ogg's right, bahis siteleri though, there was a murmur in the crowd, and when Ogg looked that way he noticed the people parting and leaving open space on the floor before him.
A figure emerged from a dark recess in the bar. He was tall and thick all over: thick neck, thick arms, and thick waist. His face was wide and pasty and blank, unintelligent and menacing.
"What did you say?" the pale-faced, thick man asked.
"I said, where's Tamara?" Ogg asked.
"Who wants to know?" asked the large man.
"Well, I do," Ogg said. "My name is Ogg. Who are you?"
The big man paused, and he looked both ways around the bar, as though to size up the support he had in the event of a fight.
"I'm Momson," he said. "I'm the chief of the Authors. My stories are more popular than any of the others'."
Ogg saw a flurry of movement around the thick man's feet.
"Shit," said Pilo. "Penguins. I hate those fuckers."
Pilo was right. A waddle of penguins, too many to count, shuffled about the floor, surrounding Momson. Ogg knew Pilo's dislike of penguins ran deep. It had something to do with an unpleasant incident on the Galapagos Islands, long ago. Pilo never told Ogg the full story, but he told enough to evince his loathing of the uncouth, black- and white- feathered, flightless waterfowl. The penguins squawked and glared at the newcomers.
Ogg was undeterred by the presence of the penguins. He held his gaze on Momson.
"I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, sir," he said. "I'm looking for Tamara, a friend. I heard she was here. I'd like to see her. Is she here — at this bar?"
Momson did not move, but his face twisted itself into a hostile mask.
"She's busy," he said. His dull eyes remained on Ogg's. He didn't move his feet but Ogg saw his body quiver like that of a snake about to strike. "She doesn't want to see you."
"Well, I'd like to ask her myself about that," said Ogg. "I think she'd like to see me."
Ogg and Momson stood their ground and stared at each other, neither moving. The penguins swirled around Momson's feet and squawked more loudly and menacingly at Ogg and Pilo.
"Ogg!" came a cry from an unseen part of the bar overhead. Ogg recognized the voice. It was Tamara.
"Tamara!" he yelled back.
His eyes searched the darkness for her. He didn't see her at first. But then he did, at the top of a staircase, pushing her way past people to the first floor. She paused when she reached the bottom and stared at Ogg across the room.
"Ogg, what are you doing here?"
"I've come to get you. To take you away."
Before Tamara could say anything, the bulk of Momson interceded between the two of them.
"She's not going anywhere," he said. His face was dangerous, and the penguins swirled in agitation around his feet. A few other men around Ogg drew closer. They weren't as big as Momson, but they looked almost as scary.
Ogg was armed, and capable with weapons, but he was outnumbered, not to mention surrounded. If a fight happened, the odds weren't good. But Ogg had other another plan. He reached swiftly under his coat. The sudden movement roused the alarm of those threatening him, and their hands went searching for their own weapons. Before anyone else could do more, however, Ogg withdrew his hand from his coat. The crowd stopped moving when it saw what his hand held.
It held a flute, of pure silver, gleaming in the dim barroom light. The flute twirled in Ogg's fingers.
Momson's face slackened with surprise. Nobody said anything for several seconds. The crowded bar grew quiet, its patrons waiting in silence to see what would happen. All eyes were on Momson, or on Ogg. Then Momson's eyes crinkled and his mouth screwed itself into a mean, stupid grin.
"Are you going to play for us? You're the entertainment, is that it?"
Ogg smiled back. "Something like that."
He brought one end of the flute to his mouth and puckered his lips. His eyes scanned the crowd and they twinkled. The crowd obviously didn't know what to make of this stranger with a bird on his shoulder and a flute in his hands.
Ogg played.
At first, the notes came soft and low, barely audible even in the quiet room. But after playing a short, slow introduction, Ogg moved into the main theme of his song, the sound of his flute soon filling the bar at a higher volume and faster tempo. Ogg's music had a baroque air, the notes flowing from his slender instrument with measured grace and mathematical precision. Ogg stood perfectly still, adding no flourishes or dramatic gestures to his performance.
Out of the corner of his eye Ogg saw Pilo looking around at the crowd, his beak open in wonder. Nobody moved. The crowd stood transfixed. Ogg noticed Momson's pale, heavy face wrinkled in annoyance.
"Wait, what are you –" Momson started to say, raising his hand. But he stopped, and his hand fell to his side. Momson stood stupidly, staring at Ogg, motionless, and he listened without resistance to Ogg's flute-playing.
Ogg bahis şirketleri played on, the notes from the flute bouncing sweetly around the barroom, the melody rising and falling like a caper across gentle hills. His playing had its effect. The barroom crowd stood all around him with glazed eyes and slack jaws. It was time. Ogg looked across the crowd, to Tamara. She, too, stood with glassy eyes, but Ogg caught her gaze and winked. She shook her head. For her alone, the spell was broken. Ogg nodded to her but kept playing. Tamara drew back into the crowd, out of sight, but a minute later she reappeared, a satchel in her hand. Tamara pushed through the still crowd until she stood next to Ogg.
Ogg turned around, to the door, and slowly walked toward it, gently shouldering bodies out of the way where necessary. Nobody hindered him. Tamara followed, her hand on his shoulder. Ogg kept playing until he reached the door. He turned back to the barroom mob and took the flute from his mouth.
"You won't need Tamara anymore," he said to the unresponsive throng. "Don't look for her."
He played again and finished his song with a flourish of clear, decisive notes. Then Ogg and Tamara walked out the door.
"What just happened?" Tamara asked.
"A trick I picked up a while ago," Ogg said. "I don't use it too often, but this seemed like the right time. Sometimes it's better to tame the beast than to slay it."
"Are they going to come after us?" she asked.
"No. I told them not too. They'll forget all about us. But I suggest we leave, even so. If we stay here, we may give them new ideas. There's no need for that."
Ogg led her back to the trail whence he and Pilo had come. The sun hung low in the sky, near the horizon. The shadows were long and dark. The hot wind had abated to a warm breeze.
They trudged back up the muddy trail until they reached the summit of the hill once more, marked by the signpost they'd seen before. They stopped to take in the view. Ogg looked at Tamara. She was as beautiful and shapely as he remembered, and her eyes sparkled at him.
"I think we're safe here," Ogg said. He looked back, toward the Hangout. The squalid town faded in the deepening gloom that obscured the valley floor below. There was no sign of anyone on the trail coming after them.
Tamara hugged Ogg.
"Thank you, Ogg!" she cried. "I can't believe you came for me. That place was awful. Those Authors. You can't imagine the depraved things they –"
Ogg raised his hand to cut her off.
"You don't need to tell me, or to think about that now. You're free of them. I'll take you away. You can be my muse again."
"Your muse?" she said, eyebrows raised.
"It's a long story, but you inspired me, Tamara. I couldn't forget about you. I've thought about you, ever since. Every day. I –" He stopped and stared without speaking for a moment. "I think I love you, Tamara."
"Oh, Ogg," she said. She put her arms around him again and kissed him, and he kissed her back. The sun lay very close to the horizon now, but it still bathed them in warmth and a golden glow. Tamara's body felt good in Ogg's arms. At last, they broke their embrace and looked into each other's eyes.
"How can I repay you?" she asked.
"You don't have to. Getting you back is reward enough."
She said nothing for a moment, but her eyes gleamed and the corners of her lips turned up in a coy smile.
"That's sweet of you, but I have something in mind."
"What is it?" Ogg asked.
"I saved myself for you. Like I said I would."
"Whatever can you mean, my dear? I don't see how that's possible."
Her body against his, Tamara began turning around. She craned her neck to maintain her gaze into Ogg's eyes while she could until her body turned so far that she could crane her neck no more. Ogg felt her hip against him, rotating, until her pert, round backside was pressed against his groin. She pushed back. Ogg felt something stir, and he groaned.
"Oh, Tamara."
"I saved myself for you, Ogg," she said again, this time in a breathy whisper. Ogg felt the warm breeze kiss his face, and somewhere an insect buzzed. The breeze embraced them both in a scent mixed of fresh grass and wildflowers.
Understanding dawned over Ogg.
"You mean –"
"Yes," she said. "I may be a whore, but I set my limits. Many men have had me. But they haven't had all of me." She ground her bottom against him again, and Ogg knew now that she could feel his hardness.
A voice squawked to Ogg's side.
"Don't mind me," said Pilo. He jumped off Ogg's shoulder, to the ground. "I'll give you two some time to get reacquainted. I'll go watch the sunset."
The grumpy puffin hopped away through the grass on the hilltop, until he was out of sight.
Tamara kept grinding her ass against Ogg's hardening cock. It moved in slow circles against him, until it stopped and began moving in the opposite direction. Ogg's hands gripped her hips, his thumbs pointing down and inward and pushing against the cheeks of her ass through her brown dress. The fabric of her dress was thin, and it was easy to feel her body under it. He began to knead her ass through the thin cotton with his thumbs. The feel of her flesh beneath the dress was pure bliss.

Anglers Rest is a locality in Victoria, Australia. It is on the Omeo Highway,  north of Omeo in the Shire of East Gippsland, almost totally surrounded by the Alpine National Park.

Location

The name Anglers Rest is descriptive, indicating that the location is a good spot for anglers, being close to the confluence of several noted trout fishing rivers, the Cobungra River, the Bundara River, the Big River, and the Mitta Mitta River. The Bundara River flows into the Big River a few kilometres north of Anglers Rest, and where the Cobungra River joins the Big River just south of Anglers Rest they become the Mitta Mitta River. Besides fishing, the area is also popular for white water rafting, bushwalking, camping, horseriding,
and mountain biking.

The Blue Duck Inn

Perhaps the most notable feature of Anglers Rest is the historic Blue Duck Inn, standing alongside the Omeo Highway crossing of the Cobungra River. The local area is in fact commonly referred to simply as 'the blue duck', rather than Anglers Rest, in reference to the prominence of this hotel.

The original 1900 timber slab building operated as a butcher shop, servicing gold miners on what was at the time a walking track from Omeo to the gold fields around Mount Wills. In 1912 a successful miner called Billy O'Connell purchased the establishment and obtained a hotel licence on the understanding that the main road would pass the building. After the road was surveyed this did not eventuate, and the inn gained its name when O'Connell nailed a panning dish out the front and wrote 'Blue Duck' on it, blue duck being the term for a failed gold lease.

In the 1920s O'Connell relocated the hotel to its current location by moving two houses through the bush from Omeo on horse drays; one of these is the current main building of the inn, while the other was placed further up the hill as his home, on the site of the existing cabin accommodation. O'Connell also built a small log building behind the pub, which was staffed for a time by the Education Department as Anglers Rest Primary School (State School Number 4286), mainly to educate O'Connell's own children.

The Blue Duck Inn soon became popular with anglers, who even in those days travelled from as far away as Melbourne for the fishing, including the Chairman of Commissioners on the Victorian Railways, Sir Harold Clapp. Clapp became so enamoured with the inn he arranged for apprentices at the Newport Railway Workshops to cast the bronze blue duck that still stands at the entrance.

The O'Connells moved on in 1946, and the inn went through several hands before declining trade resulted in it relinquishing its liquor licence in 1967. The Blue Duck Inn was eventually refurbished and re-licensed in 1998.

Bushfires

The Anglers Rest area was severely impacted by the massive 2003 Eastern Victorian alpine bushfires. While hundreds of square kilometres of the surrounding region was directly affected by the fires for close to two months, an especially intense fire devastated the area around Anglers Rest on 26 January 2003, with several homes being lost, and The Blue Duck Inn barely being saved.

Bushfires again threatened Anglers Rest in early January 2020. Little damage was reported within the village, the fire having stopped in the bush behind the Blue Duck Inn.

Virginia Tea Party Alliance Annouces Election Targets
Home/Blog/Virginia Tea Party Alliance Annouces Election Targets
Refuting conventional political wisdom, t he Virginia Tea Party Alliance today launched its election initiative "Beyond 21 – Creating a Conservative Tsunami in Virginia". The campaign targets 7 left-wing Democrat State Senators and seeks to elect conservative Republican candidates, many of whom have been overlooked by the major Republican Party PACS.
"Many pundits and operatives think that the best Republicans and conservatives can hope for this year in Virginia is picking up 2-3 seats. We feel very strongly that conservatives can pick up as many as nine seats currently held by Democrats," said Karen Miner Hurd, Executive Director of the Virginia Tea Party Alliance which is spearheading the "Beyond 21" campaign.
"Our recent polling shows that President Obama and his policies have alienated voters of across the spectrum here in Virginia, and there is a tremendous surge in renewed conservative energy," Hurd said. "That resurgence means that projections of a three or four seat gain are pessimistic and that Senate Republicans need to look at going beyond 21 and towards 24 or even 27 or 28 seats."
The goal of Beyond 21 is to do much more than just boost Republican Party numbers. Says Hurd, "We are not looking to elect a merely a Republican majority, but a strong conservative majority in the Virginia State Senate".
The Left has given us their playbook. Now we're going to use it.
"The reality is that Democratic incumbents across the state will have to answer for the Obama Administration policies that they have supported implementing here in Virginia," Hurd added.
"Virginians and Americans are fed up with endless bailouts, government run health care and increased government control over our jobs and our daily lives. They have used their majority in the State Senate to increase the financial burden and regulation on the average Virginian".
Hurd said the election initiative will involve grass-roots targeted door-to-door activities, radio ads and what she called "guerilla social media."
"The left has given us their playbook. Now we're going to use it," Hurd said.
The Alliance launched a money bomb on September 22. Donors can choose the candidate or the specific action they wish to fund. The group's political target list can be found at http://beyond21.org.

Spring is a time of renewal. Bulbs and flowers are sprouting, we do spring cleaning, and we get excited to spruce up our home and our lives. Every Spring women's and children's fashions also experience small changes.
This article will show you what to look for in little girl's Spring clothes for this year. However, the ideas and suggestions are timeless as you look for clothes that are classic and transcend time.
With Spring in mind, there are several trends that we are seeing in little girls' fashions. First of all is comfort. We all want our little girls to feel beautiful yet comfortable in their clothes. Soft cottons and china silk are very comforting materials for children to wear. Best of all these fabrics are usually are not itchy, they are machine washable and are quite sturdy.
The second item you should look for in Spring fashions for little girls is durability. Children play outside a lot when the weather is nice. They ride bikes, play with friends, jump rope, and go to the park. While they are comfortable in their clothes, they also should last for a long time.
You will want to look for fashions for your child that are fully finished and serged around all the seams and that are made from quality materials. Usually items on the clearance or sale rack for under $10 are not items that will last for years to come.
Third, of course, look for Spring fashions for your little girl that are darling, cute and that fit her well. What 4 year old little girl does not want to look and feel like a princess in her beautiful new pink dress. She loves to twirl and dance and act just like Disney's Cinderella or Belle.
You can find adorable dresses that are quality and comfortable. Little Adventures is a trusted brand for little girls dresses. They are not only cute and comfortable, but the prices are more reasonable than local stores. Little Adventures dresses are also machine washable which is a big plus to many parents of small children or toddlers.
Fourth, try to find fashions for your child that are classic. Classic clothing can be handed down from child to child and still be in style. Classic colors of dresses for little girls may include pastels in pink, white, and light purple.
Older kids may like more brighter colors that stand out more like magenta, sky blue, and yellow. You can find plan and classic dresses or other clothing that is not particularly the hottest style of the day, but one that will transcend time and still be cute and hip in a couple years when her sister wears the same outfit.
Try these four suggestions to buying Spring fashions for your little girl. There are some great stores online that sell kids clothing and many have free shipping or other incentives that your local stores do not have. Many online stores regularly have sales or special offers that may apply to you.
Good luck finding beautiful and quality clothes for your little girl that will be darling, inexpensive and will last for years of imaginative play.

Of those eligible, only 9 percent have any interest in the military at all, a majority saying they fear emotional, psychological or physical problems if they join. Some point to the armed forces themselves as the problem.
71% percent of young people are ineligible to join the military, according to 2017 Pentagon data. The reasons: obesity, no high school diploma, or a criminal record.
The current white-hot labor market, with many more jobs available than people to fill them, is also a factor, as rising civilian wages and benefits make military service less enticing. But longer-term demographic trends are also taking a toll.
AMERICA'S ARMY is struggling to sign up soldiers. Recruitment in the 2022 fiscal year, which concluded on September 30th, appears to have been the worst since the draft ended in 1973. The army brought in about 45,000 recruits; it had aimed for 60,000.
Effects of deployments on family or personal relationships — 51.9% Impacts of Army life on significant other's career plans and goals — 48.3% Impacts of Army life on family plans for children — 47.2% The degree of stability or predictability of Army life — 43.6%
Some of the most popular benefits of joining the US military is the job training, educational assistance, steady paycheck, health coverage, and housing benefits. See a full list of the benefits here.
Military life results in uncertainty and breaks in routine, which can cause family members to experience high anxiety, depression, PTSD and long-term mental health and wellness injuries. Many spouses feel it will hurt their military partner's chances of promotion if they would seek help for stress or depression.
It is about reintegrating back into society. It starts by making meaningful connections in life beyond the military. This process is made harder by the clear purpose, shared identity, and social norms of the military culture. Even without these obstacles, connection isn't easy.

20 Health Conditions That May Not Allow You To Join The Military. There are many specific medical conditions that may disqualify you from joining the U.S. Military. These include conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, epilepsy, heart issues, Asperger's, and PTSD.
The Odds Are Against You
It's really hard to get into a military service academy. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 41,989 people applied to the five military academies for the Class of 2023. However, there are only about 4,100 slots available each year.
The ideal height requirement for men in the military is between 60-80 inches / 152-203 cm. Anyone above or below this requirement is likely to get rejected.
While the other branches of the military have also had trouble recruiting, none have been as pronounced as the Army's difficulties, which Wormuth attributed to a variety of factors, including learning losses due to the pandemic and a decline in fitness standards among American youth.
Only 9% of young people now show a propensity to serve, according to Defense Department polling data shared with ABC News. It's the lowest number seen in 15 years.
PRICE: A big part of the recruiting problem is the number of young Americans even eligible to enlist has shrunk to just 23%. Key reasons include a long-term rise in obesity rates and a recent drop in test scores Army leaders say it's related to distanced learning during the pandemic.
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – New figures from the U.S. Dept. of Defense show that less than a quarter of Americans of prime recruiting age are eligible to serve in the military.
The hardest military branch to get into in terms of education requirements is the Air Force.
The military branch with the toughest basic training is the Marine Corps.
The hardest military branch for non-males because of exclusivity and male dominance is the Marine Corps.
The marriages of U.S. Armed Forces service members often fail because of infidelity on the part of one or both spouses. There are always stories of lonely military wives hanging out at clubs and cheating on husbands who are deployed.
From meeting the physical demands of working in special operations and infantry to armor and field artillery, many troops face psychological problems and post-traumatic stress disorder. A further complication for military personnel is the difficulty many face in transitioning back to civilian life.
If you are 18 or over and join the army for the FIRST time, then: You can leave in the first THREE MONTHS (but NOT in the first six weeks). After the first three months you have no right to leave until you have served for FOUR YEARS.

Military rejuvenates your sense of optimism and passion to achieve lifelong goals. It is undeniable that military service changes you for good and makes you want to be the person your society, colleagues, friends, and family members can be proud of.
The Army is facing the most acute recruiting problems. The service will will finish fiscal 2022 with about 466,000 active-duty soldiers—10,000 people below target, according to Lt. Gen.
Heart pounding, fear, and tunnel vision are just a few of the physical and emotional responses soldiers reported. Upwards of 30% reported fear before and during combat, blowing apart a macho myth that you're not supposed to ever be scared during battle.
A normal day for an active duty soldier consists of performing physical training, work within their military occupational specialty (MOS) and basic soldier skills. Physical training consists of cardiovascular exercises as well as strength training. MOS is the job a soldier performs on a daily basis.
A meta-analysis of the effects of service on mortality found that veterans experienced about 25% lower risk of mortality than civilians (McLaughlin, Nielsen, & Waller, 2008), and this "healthy soldier" effect can last as long as 30 years (Waller & McGuire, 2011).
Conclusions: Loneliness is highly prevalent in U.S. military veterans, with more than half endorsing feeling lonely sometimes or often, and 1-of-5 reporting feeling lonely often.
Whether the military is tougher than college depends on the individual. A life of service may prove to be extremely difficult for some and an ideal fit for others, just as college life may be academically stressful and challenging to some and easy to others.
The challenges that veterans face when they leave the service are many: unemployment, PTS, homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, an unstable family life. While these challenges are real, the way to best help veterans face these challenges is to address the root of the problem.
While the armed forces have content prohibitions for tattoos, the policies have evolved and become less restrictive regarding size and location. The current policies permit tattoos almost anywhere on the body except for on the head and face.
Basic Pay is electronically distributed on the 1st and 15th of every month, similar to many civilian jobs. The amount of Basic Pay depends on length of service as well as rank. In general annual military pay raises are linked to the increase in civilian wages.
Military personnel may retire after 20 years of service and must retire after 30 years of service in most cases.
ENLISTED. You must be 17–39 years of age, a U.S. citizen and have a high school diploma, GED with 15 college credits or GED.

I paint or draw because there are so many interesting and beautiful things in the world and painting is my way of responding to beautiful things. I prefer working directly from subjects whether it is nature or a person. For instance, if I am drawing or painting irises in my garden, I like to express the feeling of sun on my back and the breeze blowing on my face. All that becomes part of the painting. It my subject is a person, I prefer working with live models so I can express life in that moment.
Painting is an adventure. The thrill starts when the watercolor begins to flow onto the paper. The beauty and excitement can take my breath away. It is so much an intuitive process. I try to cover the whole paining before I make any corrections. I don't want to get bogged down early. Then the fine-tuning comes into play. I approach the painting using the discipline of my craft and develop the painting further. I call on everything I have learned to bring the final touches to my paintings. The delight comes when I am successful, but alas, there are times when I must let it go and start over.
There are those times when a painting transforms and develops a life of it's own ending up quite differently than I anticipated. Art in my world is surprising and very entertaining.
