The Starbucks manager who was fired when a cop at her shop received an order labeled "PIG" is considering suing the coffee giant for making her a "martyr," she told The Post on Wednesday. Lola Rose, a shift supervisor at the Glenpool, Oklahoma, location, is determined to "clear her name" after she claims the chain wrongfully terminated her in response to the coffee cup controversy. "I really feel like I was made out to be a martyr," Rose, 21, said during an exclusive interview. "This is a lot of slander on my part, a lot of brushing me under the rug." Rose, who was mistakenly referred to by some outlets as Lola Price,

Representative Adam Schiff's Impeachment Circus continued with his latest act — radical militant leftist law professor Pam Karlan. Not only is Karlan a radical militant leftist law professor, she is a dishonest one. You won't find a single mainstream outlet that is giddy over her shrill testimony touch on her false scholarship. Karlan worked at the Justice Department during the Obama administration. Not much got done on her watch. Where she really excels, however, is lobbing false charges at conservatives or Republicans. When I was an attorney at the Justice Department, I worked on a Voting Rights Act case that Karlan hated. Why? Because the victims of the racial discrimination were white.

Daily Mail [UK], Associated Press, by Keith Griffith Original Article
Background checks on gun purchases in the U.S. are climbing toward a record high this year, reflecting what the industry says is a rush by people to buy weapons in reaction to the Democratic presidential candidates' calls for tighter restrictions. On Black Friday alone, the FBI ran 202,465 checks, or an average of more than two checks per second. The record for firearms checks was set on 2017's Black Friday with 203,086. Black Friday is often the top sales day of the year for firearms, fueled by the start of hunting season as well as holiday shopping. By the end of November, more than 25.4 million background checks -

On November 8, 2019, I noted a strange twist in the Gibson's Bakery v. Oberlin College case. Several months after the verdicts, and a month after the court denied a nearly identical motion by Oberlin College, two Cleveland media outlets plus an Ohio media non-profit group sought to unseal the Facebook records of Allyn D. Gibson.(Snip)(Sep. 16, 2019 Order, p. 2). While the current motion was not filed by Defendants, there are substantial connections between Movants and Defendants' counsel, including the fact that Defendants' lead counsel, Ron Holman, II, was a television legal analyst for Movant WEWS-TV for more than ten (10) years.

USA Today, by Kristin Lam Original Article
The United States is again the eighth-most-spammed nation in the world and the annoying calls are on the rise, according to a new report. Americans received 7% more spam calls in 2019 compared to the year before, said Truecaller, a Swedish company that tracks spam calls, but hung on to their ranking from the last annual report. The report Tuesday comes after efforts by the Federal Communications Commission to crackdown on robocalls, which are the No.1 complaint consumers make to the agency. Truecaller found robocalls in the U.S. increased by 35% in the last year, despite the four major service providers offering tools to block unwanted calls

The head of Amazon's cloud business is getting publicly involved in the company's fight over a $10 billion contract to supply cloud services to the Department of Defense. Amazon Web Services lost the contract to Microsoft's Azure cloud business in October, a decision that surprised many industry experts given Amazon's leadership in the industry. Amazon has now filed a suit with the US Court of Federal Claims contesting the decision. The company argues it was politically motivated by President Donald Trump's dislike of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post, which Bezos owns.

The valedictorian of a Detroit high school is reportedly struggling with basic math in college. The development comes as colleges have increasingly rejected objective admissions criteria in the name of "equity," with University of California poised to no longer require the SAT because of the racial impact it has on admissions.

to 7 Questions on the Battle Over Abortion replies
New York Times, by Aidan Gardiner Original Article
Nationwide access to abortion is more vulnerable than it has been in decades, partly because of an aggressive campaign by Republicans and President Trump's election and appointment of two conservative Supreme Court justices. But as The Times's Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer recently reported, many abortion rights advocates have also blamed their movement's own missteps. Some pointed to a rift between national organizations like Planned Parenthood and independent clinics. Others said they saw peril in making support for abortion access a litmus test for Democratic candidates. These pressure points will be further pushed in the coming months of the 2020 presidential election and as courts hear a series of cases

Corruption at the FBI, CIA and DOJ replies
Washington Times, by Victor Davis Hanson Original Article
One symptom of a society in crisis is the unreliability or even corruption of its own auditors. After all, when the watchmen have lost moral authority to watch, who can be believed or trusted? Or, as the Roman satirist Juvenal famously put it, "Who will guard the guardians?" It was recently reported that FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith altered an email to bolster a suspicious FBI effort to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrant authorizing the surveillance of Carter Page, a onetime employee of the Trump campaign. If true, Mr. Clinesmith helped the FBI successfully delude the court into granting what was likely an illegal request to spy on the Trump campaign.

Associated Press, by Juliet Linderman Original Article
Washington - The Trump administration is tightening work requirements for the federal food stamp program in a move that will slash benefits for hundreds of thousands of people. The final rule, announced Wednesday, will limit the ability of states to exempt work-eligible adults from having to obtain steady employment in order to receive benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which helps feed more than 36 million Americans. Scaling back public benefits for low-income Americans has long been a Trump administration priority. The rule announced Wednesday is one of three proposals for cutting the food stamp program.

The White House and members of the Trump family Wednesday slammed a constitutional scholar for referencing 13-year-old Barron Trump during the House Judiciary Committee's impeachment hearing. Pamela Karlan, a Stanford law professor, was asked how the powers of a president differ from that of a British king. Ms. Karlan said kings had virtually unlimited authority while the Constitution limits presidential powers. To illustrate her point, she referenced President Trump's son, Barron. "The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he can't make him a baron," Ms. Karlan said to laughter and applause in the hearing room.

Attorney General William Barr reportedly disagrees with a finding by the forthcoming Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General (IG) report that the FBI had sufficient reason to monitor the Trump campaign in 2016. The FBI conducted surveillance on Trump campaign associates, including foreign policy aide Carter Page, on the basis of suspicions that the campaign might have been colluding with Russia to interfere with the 2016 election. No evidence of collusion was ever found, though the surveillance continued well after the election, and the fact that the FBI was investigating the Trump campaign over Russia was leaked to Democrats and to the mainstream media.

Ask most Democrats, and they will claim that it is their party that represents marginalized Americans, and specifically lower income black and Hispanic voters. This makes the Democratic Party's near abandonment of charter schools, and the mostly minority voters who need them, one of the most politically perplexing shifts in recent memory. This movement away from choice, and the interests of the Democratic base, is not a new phenomenon in the party that lives or dies by the votes and campaign contributions of organized labor. But it is now bubbling to the surface, most notably during the recent Democratic presidential debate in Atlanta.

WASHINGTON - The third most senior House Democrat wants a vote on articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump — and the charges against him to include obstruction of justice related to the findings of former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. That controversial strategic position, laid out by House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., in a brief interview with McClatchy on Tuesday evening, is the strongest and most decisive statement yet by a member of the House Democratic leadership team. It also comes amid a hushed internal debate over how best to proceed. Speaker Nancy Pelosi's top lieutenants have, until

This shocked Jessica. "Are they allowed to do that, legally?" he wondered out loud.

On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee will hold its first hearing in the latest phase of the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump. Based on everything we know about the committee's past oversight efforts, statements by Republican committee members and the president's defense team, and the details of the panel itself, one thing seems clear: Compared with the staid and productive fact-finding work conducted by the House Intelligence Committee over the past few weeks, this hearing will almost certainly be a disaster.

This year's education scandal saw parents shelling out megabucks to gain college admittance for their children. Federal prosecutors have charged more than 50 people with participating in a scheme to get their children into colleges by cheating on entrance exams or bribing athletic coaches. They paid William Singer, a college-prep professional, more than $25 million to bribe coaches and university administrators and to change test scores on college admittance exams such as the SAT and ACT. As disgusting as this grossly dishonest behavior is, it is only the tiny tip of fraud in higher education.

Do you remember where you were at 9:26 p.m. EDT on July 31? Sen. Kamala Harris certainly does. That was the moment her campaign for president ended. She only just got around to admitting it on Tuesday. Harris, a former prosecutor in San Francisco and attorney general of California, had performed swimmingly in one of the two Democratic debate sessions held in late June. She made a real impression by taking former Vice President Joe Biden down a notch. Although she carefully avoided using the word, she insinuated that Biden's erstwhile opposition to federally mandated busing made him a racist.

Should the Democrats impeach the president? It's hard to see a considered strategy in the approach. The president stands accused of using the official functions of his office to create an advantage against his possible 2020 rival, former Vice President Joe Biden. To punish him, Democrats have launched an impeachment crusade that has no chance of succeeding in the Republian-controlled Senate. In fact, there appears to be no possible explanation for this course of action except to gain a 2020 electoral advantage against Trump.

The British police force is kneecapped by its own ruling class, the product of its new woke elite, complete with crackpot theories and activist impulses.

For months, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has insisted that House Democrats were working to get consensus on President Trump's signature trade deal, which would update the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). She has also been adamant that impeachment would not affect USMCA talks, or vice versa, and that the tracks are totally separate.

However, as Ecclesiastes 1:9 reminds us, "What has been is what will be . . . there is nothing new under the sun." In the post-bellum South, Democrats prohibited blacks from possessing guns outright or imposed gun prohibitions selectively enforced against blacks, leaving them vulnerable to the Democrats' Ku Klux Klan.

I went to a fitness expo and was walking by the vendor booths, where they were giving away samples of supplements and magazines. I was walking around the side of the area, past an unmarked table that was stacked with packages of sports drinks. I saw a person reach in a package and take a bottle. Soon there was another person, and then another, and then a whole crowd of people started taking bottles. A few people even grabbed a whole package! Soon, a sale representative of the company selling the product noticed and came over to stop it.
I wanted to steal a bottle or two after I saw that there were so many people who were involved. I thought that it wasn't really wrong since the company was planning on giving it away. I don't feel good about my inaction, because I should have said something to prevent others from stealing. And then I thought of my banking.
What does stealing sports drinks have to do with your bank?
The name of the bank is Goldman Sachs, and it made some really bad investments worth $1.2 billion. To try to save itself, it sold the investments to its customers and then made a $2 billion bet that the investments would crash. It didn't tell its customers it bet against the investment. And then the investments did, in fact, crash. The federal government fined Goldman Sachs $550 million for fraud, and then gave it about $13 billion to keep it and its customers from going bankrupt.
Would it have made a difference if I had said something while people were stealing the sports drinks? Possibly. There may have been too many people for my voice to have made a difference. Individual action has little power. But when that one person who speaks out becomes two people, and two becomes four, and four becomes thousands, then our actions become quite influential. Because other people continue to use Goldman Sachs as their investment bank does not make it right. Neither does our government allowing the bank to continue doing business. Tell three of your friends about what Goldman Sachs did to its customers and let's ask ourselves whether we want to support a dishonest business.
I know we will make the right choice.
Tomorrow is Monday, the head of the work week but the weekend is recess time. This is my life, like it is for most of you, but this blog is about jumping off the swing between play and work.

We decide when something is right or wrong and it is our responsibility to speak up.
I felt good after preventing the girls from having an accident. But I felt strange that I had hesitated because of the acceptance of the others. I think everyone has the same sense of right and wrong. We just need to be reminded that we can express it, and take responsibility for something outside of our work description. We should not be afraid to speak out even though no one else will.
Our existence as human beings depends on it.

What is the WSU Livestock Advisor Program?
WSU Livestock Advisors are trained and certified members of a volunteer program that is sponsored by Washington State University Extension. The program assists WSU Extension in providing information to livestock producers on raising, breeding, and housing livestock using the best farm management practices. The demand for such information has grown rapidly in recent years and the methods of delivery have diversified.
Who can become a Livestock Advisor?
Anyone with an interest in livestock and the desire and enthusiasm to learn, and then share their knowledge with the community, can apply to become a certified WSU Extension Livestock Advisor. The only limitation is the time available to the applicant and space in the class.
The first time commitment is the 60 hours of animal science training. The second requirement is the 50 hours of volunteer time the new Livestock Advisor contributes to the program over two years. Once volunteers have completed this requirement, $50 of the initial cost to cover program materials will be returned.
Commitments to continue as a certified Livestock Advisor after the first two years are reduced to 20 hours of volunteer service and 5 hours of advanced training per year. Many Livestock Advisors considerably exceed the minimum.
What training are the Livestock Advisors given?
The training sessions cover a variety of subjects such as poultry, sheep, beef, swine, horse, rabbits, goats, vertebrate pest management, nutrition, water quality, and mud management. Other areas also taught are pasture management and organic farming.
The trainees receive a course outline and extension publications as well. A take-home quiz is given on each major subject matter area to verify that the new Livestock Advisors are ready to serve as resource people in the community.
Livestock Advisor training is held in the evenings from 6:00 – 9:00 PM for 10 weeks. Training is held annually.
Who decides what each Livestock Advisor will do?
Each Livestock Advisor Volunteer must complete a total of 50 hours of volunteer service in the first two years. The activity hours are fairly flexible, as long as they are an accepted part of the WSU Extension Livestock Education Program. Activities for volunteers include writing and editing articles for our web page, giving talks and demonstrations to groups in the community, and staffing booths at fairs and civic events, making presentations at Small Farm Workshops, returning phone queries on livestock issues, and making farm visits.
What is in the Livestock Advisor Program for me?
Serving the public through this program is very satisfying to most volunteer Livestock Advisors. Many of them stay with the program year after year providing depth and continuity to the program as well as keeping themselves up-to-date on the latest research and gardening information.
As a WSU Extension Livestock Advisor you will meet many other people who share a mutual interest in livestock, increase your public relations skills, and acquire information and develop abilities that will prove useful to you in a variety of situations. You will develop and increase confidence in your capacity as a livestock raiser and problem-solver. You will learn, and help others learn, practices that are safer for the environment. You will have access to all the latest research-based information pertaining to livestock management, too.
Livestock Advisor Application
Or contact your local WSU Extension office for an application. In Skagit County our office is located at 11768 Westar Lane, Ste. A, Burlington, WA 98233. Please return your application to this address. Our telephone number is 360-428-4270 or you can reach our Livestock Advisors Program via e-mail at joand@wsu.edu
Space is limited, so please apply soon.
Class Participant Testimonial
BJ & Karen Martin had the idea that they could live closer to the earth, grow more of their own food, and start a small farm that would launch them on a path to self-sufficiency. But, where to start?
The WSU Livestock Advisor program helped us make wise choices about which livestock would work for our environment. The course provided a network of contacts, and the instructors and our classmates were extremely supportive. We're now producing the vast majority of our food and happy to give back to the community through WSU's volunteer opportunities. We're enthusiastic supporters of WSU's Livestock Advisor Program.

Q: Query issue in Codeigniter I want to random show 6 news/reviews on my front page but it shows the same content 6 times random but I will not have duplication of content. Here is the SQL query:
SELECT
    anmeldelser.billed_sti ,
    anmeldelser.overskrift ,
    anmeldelser.indhold ,
    anmeldelser.id ,
    anmeldelser.godkendt
FROM
    anmeldelser
LIMIT 0,6
UNION ALL
SELECT
    nyheder.id ,
    nyheder.billed_sti ,
    nyheder.overskrift ,
    nyheder.indhold ,
    nyheder.godkendt
FROM nyheder
ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 0,6

A: showing my example with active record for simplicity,
try randomizing your offset instead of the order, while still limiting to 6
// get the total number of rows
$total_rows = $this->db->count_all_results('my_table');
// offset random point within the total rows
$offset = rand( 0 , $total_rows - 6 );
$q = $this->db->offset( $offset )->limit( 6 )->get( 'my_table' );
print_r( $q->result_array() );

A: I am assuming that you need to join a Two table by this comment of yours.
You didn't mention your foreign key so I am assuming that also.
It is also not clear that the column name of your tables are same or not.
So, I am posting an join query for your table in which I assume your foreign key and column name, so please correct that before using it.
Here is your query to join your table:
$query = $this->db
    ->select('an.billed_sti,an.overskrift,an.indhold,an.id,an.godkendt, ny.id as ny_id,ny.billed_sti as ny_billed_sti, ny.overskrift as ny_overskrift, ny.indhold as ny_indhold  , ny.godkendt as ny_godkendt ')
    ->from('anmeldelser as an')
    ->join('nyheder as ny', 'ny.id_fk = an.id', 'left outer') // I am assuming here that the [id_fk] field is the foreign key
    ->limit(0, 6)
    ->order_by('puttablename.tablecolumn', 'asc') // Your you table name and column name by which you want to order, you can use [asc/desc] as your need
    ->get();

And If you want to UNION here is the solution for it.

A: //initialize query builder
$sql1=$sql2=$this->db;
$sql1->select('anmeldelser.billed_sti ,anmeldelser.overskrift ,anmeldelser.indhold ,anmeldelser.id ,anmeldelser.godkendt');
$sql1->from('anmeldelser');
$sql1->order_by('rand()');
$sql1->limit(3);
//get only sql string
$query1=$sql1->get_compiled_select();

$sql2->select('nyheder.id ,nyheder.billed_sti ,nyheder.overskrift ,nyheder.indhold ,nyheder.godkendt');
$sql2->from('nyheder');
$sql2->order_by('rand()');
$sql2->limit(3);
$query2=$sql2->get_compiled_select();
//combine two query
$query = $this->mydb->query("($query1) UNION ($query2)");
$result = $query->result();

How Blood Pressure Affects Brain Aging!
High blood pressure is a big problem with many people young and older. Here is some information on how BP affects the brain I read recently.
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common age-related health condition. When you blood pressure increases, it is hard on your heart and on your arteries. Turns out that high blood pressure can damage your brain as well and not just from an increased risk of stroke.
People aged 60 and over with high blood pressure have a higher rate of cognitive decline and a greater risk of Alzheimer's disease than people with normal blood pressure. Using data from a national health survey, doctors discovered that men and women with healthy blood pressure showed the least amount of cognitive decline over time.
For people aged 60 to 69, a blood pressure of 120/80 did best.
For people aged 75 to 79, people under 140/90 had the best cognitive function.
For people 80 or over, moderate high blood pressure was best.
As you age, it is likely that your blood pressure will increase. Making that increase as small a s possible will protect both your heart and your brain. If you have high blood pressure, be sure to aggressively manage it through a combination of lifestyle changes like healthy eating and relaxation along with medication when suggested by a doctor. Keeping your blood pressure in normal ranges will slow your brain's aging.
Here is testimony from Genia on how her high blood pressure was helped with Vivix™. "I have high blood pressure that is controlled by a diuretic and beta blocker combination medication. Usually even with medication my systolic ranges between 129-138 and my diastolic between 75-83 and my pulse would range anywhere from 80-91 (rarely dropping below 80).
I have not been on any other medications, not changed my diet & my exercise level is still around 7500 steps a day.
Everyone's cells respond differently. Give VIVIX a chance to repair your cells by using it for at least three to six months to see how your body improves.
Vivix™ Cellular Anti-Aging Tonic** is a revolutionary compound fights against cellular aging. The ingredients in Vivix™ have been shown in the laboratory to impact four key factors in cellular aging. A Shaklee exclusive. All Shaklee products are 100% guaranteed.

Hello, its good post about media print, we all understand media is a great source of data.


One of only six such centers in the world, the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center is funded by a grant from the Rotary Foundation.
The center's mission is to promote peace through a holistic approach to training by combining conflict resolution methods, peace building and conflict prevention with an emphasis on more sustainable economic, political and human development.
Each year, five fellows enroll at Duke in the Master of International Development Policy (MIDP) and five fellows enroll at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in one of several master's degree programs in the social sciences (e.g. Global Studies, Education, Political Science, Journalism, City and Regional Planning) or Public Health.
For more information, please visit the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center website.
At the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center, Rotary Peace Fellows are supported by the fellowship for the 21-month duration of the program. The fellowship includes funding for tuition and other university fees, a monthly stipend for room and board, a contingency fund, funding for conferences and research, summer internship support, and transportation between the fellow's home and study destination at the start and end of the fellowship period.
Learn how to apply for a Rotary Peace Fellowship.
Conflict Management: The Practice of Negotiation and Mediation: This course teaches the theory and practice of negotiation and mediation as a means of effectively handling conflicts that occur in a variety of settings. Students engage in mock negotiations—systematically preparing, conducting and reviewing their own actions. Based on the theoretical and experiential frameworks presented in the course, students analyze a number of conflict situations around the world.
Rotary Cornerstone Seminar and Rotary Capstone Seminar: These two seminars are designed to prepare Rotary Peace Fellows for their future leadership roles in the field of Peace and Conflict Prevention and Resolution. The Cornerstone will assist fellows in shaping their 21-month program of study with the goal of achieving the outcomes desired by each individual fellow. The seminar comprises three elements: (i) reflection on each fellows' skills, attributes and achievements that they bring with them to Duke-UNC; (ii) examination of leadership and decision-making styles (through the Myers Brigg Type Indicator test), (iii) planning for the future through strategic selection of courses, the required summer internship and topics for fellows' masters projects/theses. The Capstone includes three elements: (i) a "cross-fertilization" workshop at which fellows will present the diagnosis and initial conclusions of their master's project and receive the suggestions of their peers and the faculty; (ii) a career workshop preparing the fellows towards their future leadership roles in the field of Peace and Conflict Prevention and Resolution; and (iii) the fellows' public presentation at the Rotary Conference in April.
Designing Democracy: This course addresses a question at the heart of contemporary global politics: how does one craft democracy in fragile and divided states? Students will seek to investigate the question through contemporary research and theories based on a variety of modern cases.
Human Rights and Conflict: This course examines the link between human rights and conflict in an interdisciplinary fashion. Students will draw substantially on historical and policy analyses, learning the legal/political history of the contemporary framework for human rights and connecting it to real world efforts underway by lawyers and other practitioners to reframe and transform conflict and build peace.
Capacity Development: To achieve sustainable development, countries need the capability to manage available resources, solve problems and set and achieve their objectives. This course will enable fellows to understand how our new understanding of the nature of capacity and how it changes is shaping this rapidly developing field. We will also examine capacity development approaches in fragile states, including conflict-affected areas, where the constraints on success are numerous and hard to overcome.
Interested applicants are strongly encouraged to research the Duke and UNC academic programs thoroughly before applying.

Q: Why did a DNS A record change break my responsive site? I built a responsive site at hollamentors.com, which displays as intended on mobile (scaled correctly). I set up a DNS A record at hollamentors.org which points to the IP of the server where hollamentors.com is located. I've verified it has the latest code by making updates via FTP to the site on the hollamentors.com hosting. But the site on hollamentors.org loads on both iOS Chrome and Safari as a downscaled desktop site, as though I didn't have the
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

tag in the <head> of the HTML, which I do, otherwise the hollamentors.com site would load the same way. On desktop Chrome at a resolution of 767px or narrower, the CSS media queries work as expected, and it looks as expected.
Is there any reason that a DNS A record would cause this behavior? Or is there anything else that I'd need to verify?
I thought for a second that I hadn't set up the A record correctly, but I just uploaded a change to the hollmentors.com server, and the content of it is reflected on hollamentors.org.
Using nslookup, I can see that the domains show two different server IPs:
nick@young-birches:~/projects/holla_mentors$ nslookup hollamentors.org
Server:         127.0.0.53
Address:        127.0.0.53#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   hollamentors.org
Address: 184.168.131.241

nick@young-birches:~/projects/holla_mentors$ nslookup hollamentors.com
Server:         127.0.0.53
Address:        127.0.0.53#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   hollamentors.com
Address: 142.44.244.232

But that doesn't explain why the markup would be the same at both domains, but the sites would display differently on an iOS device. (I don't have an android device to test with.)

When in the summer of 2017, the special paint job on the F-16 AM of N°1 SQN of the Belgian Air Force was presented, Revell got in contact with the squadron commander in order to make an accurate kit of the dynamic looking Fighting Falcon in this livery. Just a few months later, the kit was released, and when it arrived, our friend François Laloux got started right away to see what it would look like in 1/72nd scale.
The F-16 of N°1 SQN got the stylish livery to celebrate the squadron's 100th anniversary. Actually, to be more exact: the 100th anniversary of the squadron symbol: the Scottish Thistle, which was given to the squadron during World War 1. The symbol (and motto "Nemo me impune lacessit" – meaning No one can attack me unpunished") was adopted from a Scottish Regiment also fighting in the Great War.
To commemorate the anniversary, one F-16 – FA-132 – was painted in a beautiful livery, showing a stylized thistle on the vertical tail and a pattern of grey and yellow stripes on top of the aircraft. The squadron motto was placed on the black painted drop tanks. The markings in this kit are the F-16AM Falcon FA-132 100 Years 1st Squadron - "Stingers", Belgian Air Component - Florennes AB - 2017.
Seeing the livery, Revell got interested in releasing a version of their well-known 1/72 F-16 AM with this livery. The kit is probably one of the best F-16's in this scale, so things could go fast. Photos were taken, Syhart Decals was asked to design the decal sheet.
First the instructions: Coloured, clear and simple to follow - this is a great improvement on the older instructions from Revell.
The kit is very nicely engraved and comes with parts that make the Belgian MLU different from the other versions of the F-16, such as the long tail housing.
Even though the kit isn't very big, it still holds quite a lot of detail, as can be seen in this photo, showing the wheel bays.
These parts of the ejection seat are less than 2 cm in length, but you can see that Revell put a lot of detail in them. Careful by the modeller will suffice to make them look great!
Revell must have produced thousands of kits of this F-16, and although there is some flash to be found on some parts, the kit remains impressive in detail and engineering. It builds very easily.
Some flash on the clear parts too, as can be seen in this photo, but nothing that a little clean-up can't take care of.
The decals are printed just about perfectly and go on without any problem. Well done, Revell!
This is a very easy kit to build and falls into the category of "shake and bake". In the case of this special livery, all depends on the decals, but as you can see: these went on without the slightest problem and settled in nicely in every recessed panel line and around every detail.
This kit is perfect for beginning modellers or for experienced modellers wanting something easy in between more complicated projects. And it sure brings a bit of colour in your display case, even though this is mainly a grey jet.
This is another one of those inexpensive kits by Revell, filled with a lot of building fun. And we've heard that there are other liveries for this kit coming in the near future! We can only be happy about that! So, go get this kit or buy it for a youngster that might be interested; it is true publicity for the hobby!
