By this point the group had been around some 10+ years honing their chops in the nightclubs and resorts of Kingston, both playing their own material and backing up touring musicians of such caliber as Sam Cooke, Harry Belafonte, The Drifters, and more, not to mention appearing in the classic James Bond flick, Dr. No. Well versed in American R&B, mento, ska, and calypso, the Dragonaires blaze through 12 cuts here, including the »Goldfinger« theme, the Skatalites classic »Guns Of Navarone«, and the calypso standard »Yellow Bird«.

How To Use A Rifle Scope - Complete Guideline From A Professional!
How To Use A Rifle Scope – Complete Guideline From A Professional!
A great rifle scope makes a great gun. Even with the best rifle on the market, but with a poor scope, there's a slim chance that your shot will land anywhere near the target.
But remember, sharpshooting takes more than just plonking the scope on your rifle.
Riflescopes, in most cases, can be a little intimidating. Plus, they come in many different varieties to suit different needs. The purpose of this article is to unravel the mystery of rifle scopes. Here, we provide general tips on how to use a rifle scope to aim and shoot accurately.
Body: Most refer to it as the "tube". It is the scope's diameter with common sizes being 1-inch and 30mm.
Eyepiece: The part of the scope that the viewer looks through.
Windage: The horizontal motion of the potential bullet trajectory.
Elevation: The vertical motion of the potential bullet trajectory.
Adjustment knobs: Come in different forms, mostly finger pressure knobs, and flat tip screws. Adjustment knobs help you change elevation and windage.
Reticle: Estimates the landing point of a potential hit. It comes in a variety of styles with the most common comprising dots and crosshairs.
Eye relief: The maximum distance at which you can see a full crisp target image with no dark ring on the edges.
The next step in understanding your scope is to determine the type of lens it uses. Is it a single lens or a variable power lens?
Single lens, as the name suggests, provides one level of magnification. Most scopes come with a single lens. A variable scope, on the other hand, comprises a ring that lets you adjust to different levels of magnification.
The final step to understanding your rifle scope is to access the level of magnification it provides. You can simply determine this by looking at the model number.
A scope's model number comprises two distinct elements: magnification power and the diameter of the objective lens. For instance, 4 x 30 denotes four times zoom and 30mm lens diameter. The higher the first number, the stronger the level of magnification you get.
NB: Riflescopes with variable magnification have a different model number, for instance, 4-12 x 32. The first set of numbers (4-12), indicate a variable magnification that can be adjusted from four to twelve times. The second set (32) indicates an objective lens diameter of 32mm.
First, you want to make sure you have the appropriate mounting equipment. Check your scope for any mounting attachments. Plus, ensure the mounting hardware matches the design of your rifle scope. Alternatively, you can choose to purchase a rifle with a factory-installed scope.
The final step in scope setup is aligning the reticle and adjusting the eye relief. As said earlier, there are many reticle variations, such as crosshairs, dots, circles, and exes. To align it, loosen the mounting rings and rotate the scope until the reticle is properly aligned. Finally, adjust the distance between the objective lens and your eyes such that the rifle doesn't hit you during recoil.
Determine a comfortable eye relief distance (distance between your eye and the eyepiece). As a general rule, the more powerful the scope the closer the distance between your eye and the eyepiece. Doing so will help you capture a good sight picture.
NB: Most scopes have an eye relief rating. For instance, 3-9x indicates a proper eye relief that's between 3 inches to 9 inches.
Now it's time you establish a good sight picture. It's a 2-step process: center the reticle in the field of view and positioning it over your target. Make sure your view forms a perfectly centered circle at the end of the scope. Adjust accordingly in case of any black edges. Stability is crucial here, so using a bench or a bipod would be a good idea.
NB: It's easier to capture a good sight picture with a lower magnification scope than with a higher one.
Make adjustments based on the impact of your first 3-5 rounds. Remember, with consistent firing, your rounds ought to impact in about the same area. In the event that the impact area happens to be to the right of the intended target, then adjust the windage to the right, and vice versa. If the impact falls below the target, then adjust the elevation higher, and vice versa.
NB: You can refer to your user manual regarding how far each click of the elevation knob or the windage alters your aiming point.
Now it's time to adjust the parallax, which in some cases, is optional. Parallax refers to the target movement in relation to the reticle in your field of view. Parallax occurs when moving your eye from the center of the eyepiece. The first step for adjusting parallax is to ensure that the reticle is visible and clear. While still looking at the target, move your head to the sides and up/down as you slightly adjust the parallax knob. Continue up to the point where the reticle stops moving in relation to the target.
This is the point where you set a known distance and ensure the reticle falls exactly at the intended point of impact. Plus, it's time you eliminate variables by observing heartbeat, breathing, and muscle fatigue. Aim each round at the exact point and then adjust your rifle scope bringing the reticle and the impact points together.
Always keep lens cover on when not in use.
In the case of dust or dirt on the lenses, always use a lens brush to clean.
When storing a rifle scope, keep away from direct sunlight or hot places.
Clean your scope as necessary.
A good rifle scope used correctly, even on a mediocre gun, can work wonders. We hope that with the above general tips, you now have an idea of what it takes to make that happen.

Biden admin to give humanitarian aid to Taliban government
Canadian Press | Oct 11, 2021 | News | 25

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The U.S. has agreed to provide humanitarian aid to a desperately poor Afghanistan on the brink of an economic disaster, while refusing to give political recognition to the country's new Taliban rulers, the Taliban said Sunday.
The statement came at the end of the first direct talks between the former foes since the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops at the end of August.
The U.S. statement was less definitive, saying only that the two sides "discussed the United States' provision of robust humanitarian assistance, directly to the Afghan people."
The Taliban said the talks held in Doha, Qatar, "went well," with Washington freeing up humanitarian aid to Afghanistan after agreeing not to link such assistance to formal recognition of the Taliban.
Previous Story: Bodies hung in public square in Afghanistan; what happened to Joe's new Taliban?
The United States made it clear that the talks were in no way a preamble to recognition of the Taliban, who swept into power Aug. 15 after the U.S.-allied government collapsed.
State Department spokesman Ned Price called the discussions "candid and professional," with the U.S. side reiterating that the Taliban will be judged on their actions, not only their words.
"The U.S. delegation focused on security and terrorism concerns and safe passage for U.S. citizens, other foreign nationals and our Afghan partners, as well as on human rights, including the meaningful participation of women and girls in all aspects of Afghan society," he said in a statement.
Taliban political spokesman Suhail Shaheen also told The Associated Press that the movement's interim foreign minister assured the U.S. during the talks that the Taliban are committed to seeing that Afghan soil is not used by extremists to launch attacks against other countries.
Previous Story: Taliban official – Strict punishment, executions will return
On Saturday, however, the Taliban ruled out cooperation with Washington on containing the increasingly active Islamic State group in Afghanistan.
IS, an enemy of the Taliban, has claimed responsibility for a number of recent attacks, including Friday's suicide bombing that killed 46 minority Shiite Muslims. Washington considers IS its greatest terrorist threat emanating from Afghanistan.
"We are able to tackle Daesh independently," Shaheen said when asked whether the Taliban would work with the U.S. to contain the Islamic State affiliate. He used an Arabic acronym for IS.
Bill Roggio, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies who tracks militant groups, agreed the Taliban do not need Washington's help to hunt down and destroy Afghanistan's IS affiliate, known as the Islamic State in Khorasan Province, or ISKP.
The Taliban "fought 20 years to eject the U.S., and the last thing it needs is the return of the U.S. It also doesn't need U.S. help," said Roggio, who also produces the foundation's Long War Journal. "The Taliban has to conduct the difficult and time-consuming task of rooting out ISKP cells and its limited infrastructure. It has all the knowledge and tools it needs to do it."
The IS affiliate doesn't have the advantage of safe havens in Pakistan and Iran that the Taliban had in its fight against the United States, Roggio said. However, he warned that the Taliban's longtime support for al-Qaida make them unreliable as counterterrorism partners with the United States.
The Taliban gave refuge to al-Qaida before it carried out the 9/11 attacks. That prompted the 2001 U.S. invasion of Afghanistan that drove the Taliban from power.
"It is insane for the U.S. to think the Taliban can be a reliable counterterrorism partner, given the Taliban's enduring support for al-Qaida," Roggio said.
During the meeting, U.S. officials were expected to press the Taliban to allow Americans and others to leave Afghanistan. In their statement, the Taliban said without elaborating that they would "facilitate principled movement of foreign nationals."

We the Tax Payers are tired of the Government giving away our Money to other Countries and We have to Suffer for it
Especially when you see how most of those nations we 'gladly give to' HATE OUR GUTS!
We already have given them Billions of dollars of military equipment, tell them to sell some of that.
Oh No, I forgot the Muslim B. Obama is pulling puppet president biden's strings.

Howard Tarantino on 1:45 pm October 11, 2021 at 1:45 pm
What is wrong with these people in our government. They spent how many billions in Afghanistan, ostensibly fighting and subduing the Taliban. They left Americans and our allies behind, along with another untold billion in military equipment.
Now they want to provide aid to the people and expect the Taliban to pass it along. Are they nuts or are we nuts to keep electing these imbeciles.
inluminatuo on 3:26 pm October 11, 2021 at 3:26 pm
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what does a Humanitarian like Joe Biden eat? He devours American wealth and dollars like a starving Muslim eats falafels, and Muslim terrorists devour their own people.
"Joe went down on his knees to his Taliban pals, sing Afghanistan-a doodle- all the day,
The turned their women into spanking gals, sing Afghanistan-a-doodle all the day,
He turned over the country to murdering thieves, sing Afghanistan-a-doodle all the day,
And armed them up to their blackened teeth, sing Afghanistan-a-doodle all the day,,,
Fare thee well, fare thee well, Fare thee well, my fairy fay,
Joe is off to steal elections, and put down oil rig erections sing Afghanistan-a-doodle all the day."
Just watch as 10% of every dollar sent gets kicked back to the Biden Crime family as they doodle all our tax money and wealth away to invite more crime and criminal activity into the good old USA, disguised of course as Humanitarian aid. Just how do you think those Central American leaders get rich off AMerican aid while America gets stuck with taking in and aiding their Democrat socially destroyed populations which Afghanistan now gets to join the ranks of, all in the image of the great CONSUMER they reflect and worship, unlike Joe, never holding or creating any real jobs or reflecting the CREATOR of real creating Americans,
If this doesn't qualify as high treason, NOTHING should.
Gus Richards on 3:53 pm October 11, 2021 at 3:53 pm
The correct answer is that we are nuts because , as you said, we keep voting for them to stay in office, and allowing them to screw over us. It seems like the biggest enemy we face are members of our own government. I'm old so I probably won't see it, but I really believe that this country will go through another American Revolution, and that time is not so far in the future. After the dust settles there is a good possibility that the United States of America will no longer exist, and we could well become several different countries. What a sad ending for this once great country.
Well first off we …DID NOT…. elect these imbeciles… second, they are not imbeciles, they are evil, traitorous disciple's of satan that HATE our country, our freedom, God, our Constitution and know exactly what they are doing …. third, most of that money disguised as "humanitarian aid" …WILL… end up in the communist occupier democrat party coffer, forth… the people left behind was done on purpose so as NOT to tell what they witnessed, fifth… The "war" on the talian had nothing to do with "subduing".. it was all about these evil fatherless scum in the cesspool swamp of Sodom & Gomorrah DC making money …look into the Halliburton company and see who the crime family has major stock. The last two years have been so over the top evil every which way but loose, people just refuse to believe it…. they're over whelmed… better get "woke" in a very different way and pretty soon.

How do I become an illegal alien or Taliban to get from my government without having to give my rights away like these people who hate us?
noparty on 2:52 pm October 11, 2021 at 2:52 pm
I think he should, and so should Kamala, Pelosi, Soros, Milley, Garland because they are complicit in all the discombooberated garbage they have thrown our way….. and Hunter, Hunter, just because. The money should come out of their pockets. Another thought, maybe they all would like to foster some of the diversified, un-vetted guests they all encouraged to crash our borders….
joe23006 on 3:21 pm October 11, 2021 at 3:21 pm
Isn't there something giving aid and comfort to the enemies of The United States? Of course that may be in effect only during wartime but the Taliban is still at war with us no matter what Biden, Blinken, and Milley have told us. TREASON!
It will only aid in their inhumane treatment of the people of Afghanistan!
YEa, just like the congo, and many other african nations where warlords ruled, WHEN WE 'dipped into our pockets' to help the 'needy' out, IT JUST WENT INTO THE BANK accounts of the warlords.. NOT the people!!
Same will happen in afganistan.
Max daddy on 3:28 pm October 11, 2021 at 3:28 pm
Wow! That's a really, really, really long time. What it should say is: Just six weeks after handing the Taliban a country and completely outfitting them with state of the art weaponry, Joe Biden and the Democrats have decided that U.S. taxpayers should support them financially as well.
What would be wrong with letting them fail? I thought we were out of the nation building rut?
thedove on 3:54 pm October 11, 2021 at 3:54 pm
Yup, let them sell some of the weaponry Good Ol' Joe gave them, if they need money. This is unfreakin' believable.
Sorry about the typo ("the" for "they"). Editor stuck on "Save." Again. Anyone else having that problem?
I can hear Joe rationalizing that we rebuilt Japan after WWII.
YEA. WE DID.. AND to this day, i STILL FEEL WE buggered up doing so.
flyer1 on 4:43 pm October 11, 2021 at 4:43 pm
I wonder how much of the aid will go toward their women's rights and education, and food and medicine. They surely don't need any military equip. Biden already took care of that.
thedove on 10:01 pm October 12, 2021 at 10:01 pm
Yep, and don't forget the transgenders.
Bones42 on 10:36 pm October 11, 2021 at 10:36 pm
Please notice the correctness of the headline," Biden Admin. To Give Humanitarian Aid To Taliban Government", of course not the people of Afghanistan, after all, most of them will soon be purged. You know the Taliban Government are all very sophisticated and professional in all they do, just ask Jan Peski. I am sure we will soon fly a few pallets of billions of our taxes one of these days at midnight. So what we will get back for all this ? I am afraid I cannot post it.

Em's Original Sub Shop was opened in 1952 by Emma and Pete Spinelli. The story goes, when Em's opened, a gang of boys would come to the lunch counter, buy a soda, and eat packed lunches they brought from home. This gave Pete and Emma the idea to make and sell sandwiches at the store. Pete began buying 12-inch Italian buns from the nearby Ferndale Bakery, and Emma added their own special sliced deli meat, cheese, fresh vegetables, and to top it off, she developed a special dressing. And so the Em's Submarine Sandwich was born. It quickly became a Johnstown favorite and kept Pete and Emma going strong. The shop has since expanded into five locations. They offer freshly made subs, wraps, baked goods, and many other tasty options. See their website for a full menu.
The delectable tavern fare and homemade goodness springs from their family's combined experience of over 100 years.

Noah Willson was frightened by Mr. Orvel.
He had no doubt about Mr. Orvel's words. For such a person who has been in the underground for years and unified the entire Aurous Hill underground world, killing two people could not be hard.
Seeing that these two brawny men were about to take Wendy away, Noah Willson was very anxious, and he asked Claire for help: "Claire, please beg for mercy. After all, it is your sister. How can you look at her taken away?"
Claire felt a little unbearable, and said to the two strong men: "Don't make things difficult for her. Wendy was also confused for a while and didn't mean to hurt me."
Although Claire was a little disgusted with Wendy, she was a cousin after all, so how could she be beaten to death?
Hearing what she said, Mr. Orvel turned to look at Charlie, waiting for Charlie to give orders.
Charlie smiled slightly and said: "Do what my wife says."
Mr. Orvel said, "Since Madam Wade has spoken, let them live!"
Charlie nodded and said to Mrs. Willson: "I said it a long time ago. You are not welcome here. If you are acquainted, just go by yourself. Otherwise, I will let Mr. Orvel's people
beat you out!"
Old Mrs. Willson trembled with anger, and the road was unsteady, but she didn't dare to stay here, she could only leave quickly with the help of Noah Willson, for fear of being beaten.
Wendy was still in a state of despair and screamed: "I won't go! I won't go! I'm going to strangle that b*tch Claire! Let go of me and let me strangle her!"
Mr. Orvel kicked her with a black face, and kicked her to the ground directly, yelling: "Cut off your tongue, if you don't stop talking nonsense!"
Seeing that his sister was about to cause a catastrophe, Harold hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and said, "Sister, let's go home!"
The Lady Willson sighed repeatedly. Today, she wanted to mock Claire. By the way, she would give her a little pressure and induce her to return to the Willson family.
Unexpectedly, Claire today is no longer in the same language. There are so many big people backing her. The Willson family is completely unable to trick her back
When she left, Mrs. Willson felt extremely uncomfortable. If she knew today, why bother? Now Claire is unwilling to return to the Willson family. The Willson family has lost the last straw, and it seems that only bankruptcy is left for them to have it in their fate.
After the Willson family left in disgrace, Claire was relieved.
However, the lively atmosphere on the scene quickly made her nervous again.
The people here are all big people, but the place here is very small and the reception is not very convenient.
Just thinking about it, many staff from Wing Star Building ran over to entertain them with meals, drinks and drinks.
After all, it is the property of the Emgrand Group. With a call from Doris, the group immediately put aside all their work and gathered around Claire's studio to help.
Doris came to Claire and said, "Mrs. Wade, Wing Star Building is the property of our Emgrand Group. Since you choose to start a business here, we naturally have to show something."
Then, she greeted a middle-aged person and said, "This is Xu Bo, the manager of Wing Star Building. I have already told him that in the future, the office on this floor will gradually be invited to quit and leave it to your company. ."
Claire hurriedly waved her hand, flattered and said, "Doris, you don't need to be so
polite. I have a studio now. I can't use such a large place, and the cost of such a large place is too high, I can't afford it."
Xu Bo hurriedly handed over a check for 180,000 and said to Claire, "Mrs. Wade, this is your prepaid one-year office rent. From now on, all the rent, utilities, property fees, Air conditioning and heating costs are all borne by us!"
Claire nervously said: "Oh, this works so well"
Charlie took her hand at this time and said with a smile: "Wife, since Doris has the heart to help you, why do you refuse on her Doris's face?"
Claire hurriedly said, "I'm not refuting Doris's face, I just think it's too embarrassing."
Charlie took the check from Xu Bo and put it in Claire's hand, saying: "Since Doris and Xu said that it is free, then you should take the money. Emgrand Group is a large group
with a market value of hundreds of billions. Why would you care about your rent? Besides, I will work with you in the future. You can't be so dismissive, right?"
Charlie's words made Claire's heart lose.
Indeed, the Emgrand Group is the largest company in Aurous Hill. Just one company is comparable in scale to the entire Song family.
If she had to meet Doris because of the 180,000 rent, it would probably make Doris feel uncomfortable.
So she nodded hurriedly and said gratefully: "Doris, thank you so much!"
Doris smiled slightly: "Everyone is a partner, and it is okay to help each other."
Claire nodded hurriedly, and then handed the check to Charlie, saying: "The dress I wear has no pockets. You can put this check for me."
"Okay!" Charlie slipped the check into his pocket and said to Claire, "Go, I'll take you to say hello to Miss Song. They have several renovation projects in the Song family
recently. You can talk to her more."
Claire responded, but she didn't want to chat with Warnia. Because she is indeed a little inferior in front of Warnia.
More importantly, she always felt that behind Warnia's generous and intellectual smile, there seemed to be some hostility hidden.
It is said that a woman's intuition is the most accurate. Deep down in Warnia's heart, she was thinking that one day she would be able to bring Charlie, the son-in-law, from Willsons to Song's house, so she would faintly be hostile.
And Claire was already aware of Warnia's deeply hidden hostility. It's just that she hasn't figured out the source of this hostility yet.
At this time, Claire checked the time. It was already past ten o'clock, and her parents hadn't arrived yet.
So she quietly told Charlie: "Charlie, Mom and Dad have not arrived yet, you call them and ask where they are."
Charlie nodded and said, "Maybe there is a traffic jam on the road."
He and Claire got up early because they had to clean up the office and prepare for reception. Before going out, they also agreed with the old wife and mother-in-law to come to the company before ten o'clock and attend the opening ceremony together.
But now more than ten minutes have passed, and they haven't seen the shadow of the two old men.
Charlie took out his cell phone, and just about to make a call, he heard Claire's cell phone ring.
Claire saw that her mother Elaine was calling, and she immediately answered the phone.
As soon as the phone was connected, Elaine's anxious voice came: "Claire, there was a car accident on our way here, and your dad is injured and he is in the People's Hospital. Come here!"
"What?!" Claire was shocked, and immediately asked, "How is Dad's injury? Which hospital is it in?"
Elaine's voice trembled, hurriedly, still crying, and said: "At Aurous Hill People's Hospital, your dad was knocked into a coma. Come here!"
Claire didn't expect that at the first moment, she was still celebrating the grand opening with joy, but the next second, she suddenly received such a bad news.
She said anxiously: "Okay, I'll come over immediately!"
Charlie heard the call between the two clearly and realized the seriousness of the matter.
Afterwards, without saying anything, he immediately said to everyone present: "Everyone sits by yourself for a while, Claire and I are going out!"
Under normal circumstances, it is a very rude behavior for the host to leave the guests aside, but these people are Charlie's fans, so naturally they have no opinion on Charlie.
So Charlie drove his wife Claire straight to Aurous Hill People's Hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Charlie and Claire went all the way to the ICU ward of the hospital.
Pushing the door in, Charlie saw at a glance that Jacob was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes closed tightly, and he was unconscious.
As for the mother-in-law Elaine, she was sitting in front of the hospital bed with bloodstains on her body, her face pale, and she looked lost.
Claire's pretty face turned pale, her eye circles instantly red and swollen, she rushed over and asked anxiously, "Mom, what's wrong with dad?"
Elaine's eyes were red and said, "Your dad took me to attend your opening ceremony and was hit by a muck truck running through a red light. Now his situation is very
dangerous."
Claire hurriedly asked the doctor making rounds in the ward: "Doctor, how is my father's condition?"
The doctor said, "Don't worry, he is not in danger for the time being."
Claire and Charlie breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Jacob was not in danger.
Unexpectedly, the doctor hesitated at this moment and said again: "But"
Claire couldn't help asking: "But what?"
The doctor sighed and said, "However, the patient has injured his spine and will face high paraplegia when he wakes up."
High paraplegia, that is, paralysis from the neck down.
In that case, a human would become a living dead with no abilities, only slightly better than a vegetable.
When she heard that her dad might face high paraplegia,
Claire's eyes were dark, and she only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, if it weren't for Charlie's quick eyes and hands to support her, she would collapse to the ground.
If her father, Jacob, really becomes paraplegic, it means that he can only lie on the bed in the future, can't do anything, and completely lose his ability to live!
This kind of life, for a person, is simply better than death! She hurriedly asked: "Doctor, can a spinal injury be cured?"
The doctor shook his head and said: "Basically, there is no cure. At least there are no cases of high paraplegia cured in the world. The most common is that the patient has recovered to the point where the patient can sit up by himself, and the rest is basically powerless, so You have to be mentally prepared"
Hearing this, Claire couldn't help crying like rain, and it was pear blossoms with rain. Then, she choked up and asked Elaine, "Mom, are you okay?"
Elaine looked pale and said, "Hey, I'm fine, but my head hurts a bit. The doctor said that there was basically no major problem after the examination. It was mainly your dad. The muck truck hit his side at the time."
As she said, she cried all of a sudden.
Her husband may be paraplegic at a high position, which is also a fatal blow to her.
Charlie asked carefully to find out that the muck truck that ran the red light had already escaped after the incident. The mother-in-law and the Old Master both fell into a coma when the accident happened, and could not see the approximate visual characteristics of the license plate number.
Subsequently, the two were sent to the hospital by kind passers-bys.
Elaine's situation was better. Sitting in the passenger seat, she was just unconscious when she was hit at the beginning. At most, she was stippled and suffered some minor injuries. She woke up after arriving at the hospital.
But the Old Master sat in the driving position and took most of the impact, so he was not so lucky, and he was hit by a muck truck.
Charlie couldn't help sighing: god doesn't have long eyes either.
This Old Master, although he usually likes to brag, he doesn't understand and has to pretend to be an expert, but to the bottom of his heart, he is not a bad person, he is just a little useless.
As a result, Jacob is currently paraplegic in a high position. If he does not take action, he will be basically cold for the rest of his life.
On the contrary, mother-in-law is not only a standard snobbery, she is also a half-shrew, a stinky Lady who wants to sell her daughters and begs for glory, and she has no morals or limits in her life.
The results of it? She has nothing to do.
Thinking of this, Charlie sighed, thinking evilly in his heart, why isn't the person who was knocked into a paraplegic, his mother-in-law Elaine?
If she bumped into a high paraplegia, she will save a lot of worry in the future when she is in Willson's family.
At this moment, the door of the ICU ward opened, and two figures walked in from outside.
When Charlie saw the young man walking in the forefront, his face suddenly became cold. The person here was Gao Junwei, who was hit hard by himself at the car show yesterday.
And behind him, there was a middle-aged man carrying a medicine chest with a big red cross on it.
Claire couldn't help asking: "Mom, why did he come?"
Elaine said, "I asked him to come. Junwei knew the dean of this hospital. He was visiting relatives here when we were admitted. He saw that I and your dad were injured, so he arranged for your dad to the ICU ward."
After speaking, she immediately changed her face, greeted him with a smile on her face, and exclaimed affectionately: "Junwei, you have been busy running up and down just now. You have worked hard, come and have a rest!"
Gao Junwei smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, Auntie, I'm not tired."
As he said, he suddenly saw Charlie standing behind Elaine, his face changed slightly. Unexpectedly, Charlie, an eye-catching waste, was actually there.
Yesterday at the auto show, it was because Charlie was in the middle of it, that made him lose face in front of Claire.
Since then, he hated Charlie deeply.
And he didn't think Charlie Rubbish would be really awesome, so he wanted to find a chance to pierce his disguise.
Now that the enemy meets, he is naturally jealous, and at the same time, he is even thinking about regaining his face before Claire and regain her favor.
At this time, Elaine sighed, wiped away her tears, and said: "Junwei, the doctor said just now that your Uncle Willson may be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life. How can
this make me live?"
Gao Junwei hurriedly pointed to the middle-aged man behind him and introduced to Elaine: "Auntie, don't worry! This is Zhongjing Liu, the famous doctor Zhongjing Liu. He is a famous traditional medicine doctor in the country. I specially invited him to come to see uncle. He is a great healer! Uncle will be able to heal with him!"
As soon as Elaine heard that the other party was a well-known expert in the country, she was immediately excited and said hurriedly: "Oh, Junwei, thank you so much! Thank you also, Doctor Zhongjing!"
Gao Junwei smiled slightly and said calmly: "Auntie, you are welcome, this is what I should do.
After speaking, he turned around and respectfully said to Zhongjing Liu behind him: "Mr. Zhongjing, Uncle Willson's illness, I'm bothering you."
Hearing this, Zhongjing Liu took a step forward, smiled slightly, and said confidently:
"Don't worry, isn't the patient hurting the spine? Although it is difficult to heal, it is still very easy for me."
The doctor in charge of the hospital asked in surprise: "As far as I know, there is no good solution for spinal injuries in the world. Even the richest people in the world can only lie on the bed after they have injured their spine. With cord sclerosis, you can only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of your life, with only three fingers you can move. Why are you so confident?"
Zhongjing Liu smiled and said arrogantly: "Because I have a magical medicine, as long as I give it to the patient, the patient will recover soon."
After speaking, he carefully took out half a crystal clear pill from the medicine cabinet.
Holding the pill, Zhongjing Liu looked arrogantly and said, "Look, this is the magical medicine I developed! After eating it, let alone a spinal injury, it is nothing to say to restore a vegetative person to normal!"
Claire, who has been crying silently, couldn't help but ask: "Does this medicine really work?"
"Of course!" Zhongjing Liu said with a proud face, stroking his beard, "I am the world's number one magic drug maker. It was made with the essence of life and painstaking effort by an expert with great magical powers before driving to the west. , Priceless, if it weren't for Mr. Gao's face, I would never take this medicine out."
Charlie looked at the half-pill in Zhongjing Liu's hand, and he was immediately happy. Isn't this just the semi-finished products that he prepared to heal Jacob?
This medicinal property is actually one-tenth of the actual finished product. Although it is not bad, it is no problem for general injuries and serious illnesses, but it is a bit less potent.
It was also fortunate that Zhongjing Liu treated it like a treasure, and even took it out carefully, for fear that it would be broken and damaged.
But in Charlie's eyes, this medicine is a gadget he refining at will, as much as he wants! Thinking of this, he sneered even more.
If it were the magic medicine that he refined for the second time, it could indeed heal the Old Master's spine and make him recover as before.
However, this half-finished product in Zhongjing Liu's hands is definitely not good.
So Charlie couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Forget it, Dr. Zhongjing, you can't cure father-in-law's disease with your medicine."
Gao Junwei next to him immediately sarcastically said: "Charlie, how you dare to question the authority of Doctor Zhongjing here?!"
Zhongjing Liu seemed to hear a big joke, and said: "Boy, what do you know? Even the famous traditional medicine expert Tianqi, his injuries were cured by my magic
medicine. This traditional medicine leader is convinced that It's ridiculous that you can't say it's a suspicious magic drug!"
When this word came out, everyone present was shocked! Who is Tianqi?
He is the undisputed expert of the traditional medicine circle. He has extremely superb medical skills and he has treated countless people throughout his life. Even if you are rich and powerful, it is difficult to invite him out!
But now, he was helpless with his own body, but the magical medicine developed by the magical doctor Zhongjing was directly cured? !
But Charlie said that the medicine was not effective at this moment. Isn't this a joke? !
After hearing this, Elaine was furious and immediately cursed: "Charlie, you are a useless rubbish, what kind of stuff you are, don't you know it?!"
As she said, the more she looked at Charlie, the more displeased she was, and she said, "Don't be here to delay the treatment by Doctor Zhongjing, hurry up!"
Charlie frowned. At the same time, he couldn't help but slander in his heart: Could it be that Zhongjing Liu was the first to buy the medicine from Ervin Jones?
If this is the case, the one who resold one of the medicines to Tianqi at a high price of five million is probably also him.
It seems that Zhongjing Liu is still a profitable businessman in his bones!
This Gao Junwei invited him out of the mountain for fear that he did not spend less.
At this time, Gao Junwei also thought he had grasped Charlie's handle, and sneered:
"Charlie, you are a Rubbish, and you can't help with anything. You are quite nonsense?!"
As he said, he pretended to suddenly realize, and said, "Oh, I can understand it, you question the genius Doctor Zhongjing, you don't want to see Uncle Willson heal!"
"Hehe, am I talking nonsense?"
Charlie can tolerate the unreasonable troubles of his mother-in-law, but it does not mean that he also puts Gao Junwei in his eyes, and immediately sneered: "I know Tianqi, why haven't I heard him say that his illness was cured by this idiot?"
Gao Junwei laughed and said, "Charlie, you are really funny when you talk, and you know Tianqi. Why don't you say that you know the president of the United States?!"
When Zhongjing Liu heard Charlie say that he was a sh!t quack, his face was also very ugly.
Afterwards, he reprimanded with the appearance of an expert: "You young man, you are not very capable, and your tone is not small. It is estimated that you have never read a medical book, and dare you to say that I am a quack?!"
As he said, he pointed at Charlie arrogantly and said: "You, apologize to me now! Otherwise, I won't save this patient!"
Elaine paled with fright, and blurted out: "Charlie, do you want to kill my husband?! What is your intention?! Do you want to kill my husband first, and then kill me, you? To monopolize our property?!"
Charlie's face was green.
I monopolize your property? Does your family have any property?
Your family is now, I'm afraid it won't even be able to take out a few million, just an ordinary three-bedroom apartment, is it worth my exclusive possession?
Charlie doesn't know how to spend tens of billions in the bank, and there are 100 million cheques honored by Warnia in his pocket. She says he wants to monopolize the family's property? !
It's really the biggest joke in the world!
Gao Junwei also added fuel and jealousy to the side: "Auntie, I think this Charlie is indeed plotting wrong, you must take precautions, otherwise, in the future, you will really be trapped by such a white-eyed wolf!"
Claire couldn't help but said, "Charlie, let the genius Doctor Zhongjing try."
Unexpectedly, the genius Doctor Zhongjing was forced by this fashion, and coldly snorted: "Boy, if you don't kneel and kowtow to me today, this patient, he really won't be cured!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished saying this, a cold voice suddenly sounded from outside the door: "Who is it that dared to let Mr. Wade kneel down for him? You are impatient!"
As the voice came in, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a Tailored suit stepping into the ward.
At the moment when Gao Junwei and Liu Zhongjing saw this middle-aged man, their expressions changed drastically and they were shocked!
The dignified Aurous Hill underground king Orvel! What's happening here? !
Why did he get here?
Gao Junwei and the two hadn't reacted yet, and the next scene made them dumbfounded, and the whole person was struck by lightning!
At the door of the ward, there were a few more people rushing in. It was Doris, Vice Chairman of Emgrand Group, Solmon White, Patriarch of the White Family, Qin Gang Patriarch of the Qin Family, Tailai, the richest man in Haicheng, Tianqi, the dean of traditional medicine, and others!
These bigwigs, who have an important status in Aurous Hill and Haicheng, walked directly to Charlie, bowed together, and cried respectfully: "Mr. Wade!"
Charlie asked, "Why are you here?"
Orvel said respectfully: "Mr. Wade, we heard that your father-in-law was in a car accident, so we hurried over to come and visit. I hope you don't mind."
Charlie smiled slightly, and said, "You are so kind."
He said these words casually, but just these simple words made these big men like
treasures, their faces flushed, and their bodies were so excited that they couldn't stop shaking slightly.
Seeing such a scene, Elaine looked ashamed and said to her heart: "It's over, Charlie, a liar, is getting more and more deceived. Now so many big guys treat Charlie
respectfully, in case his deception is exposed one day, Isn't this family going to die?"
She doesn't believe that Charlie really has any abilities. She knew Charlie's past was very clear. She became an orphan at the age of eight and went to a welfare home. Wipe the glass, and was later brought back by the Willson family father to marry Claire.
If he is really capable, how can he be so stubborn?
Gao Junwei was dumbfounded, especially when he saw Warnia, it was even more incredible!
This is the famous Song family youngest progeny!
In front of the Song family, his Gao family was not even a bullsh*t, even his father had no right to see Warnia!
But at this moment, Warnia, who is beautiful and moving, is actually respectful of Charlie's Rubbish?
How can that be? !
Gao Junwei couldn't understand why Charlie was a wasteful, what is worthy of such a condescending wealthy lady worth hundreds of billions!
As a result, he couldn't help being surprised anymore and blurted out: "Miss Song, have you admitted the wrong person? Charlie is the Rubbish?!"
Warnia's face became cold, and she shouted: "Who gave you the courage to question Mr. Wade here?!"
Qin Gang on the side also gave a cold smile and shouted to Gao Junwei: "Mr. Wade is the only true dragon in the world, with unimaginable fairy methods. How can you say this?"
Solmon White, Patriarch of the White Family, scolded coldly: "Yes, Mr. Wade is highly respected and famous in Aurous Hill. How could his name be something you can call with such lowely words?!"
Orvel's eyes were cold, and he said, "I'm all looking at Mr. Wade's horse's head. You dare to be disrespectful to him, that is, if you are our enemy, if you dare to speak wildly, your legs and feet will be interrupted!"
Under the scolding of everyone, Gao Junwei's face turned blue and white, and his whole person was shocked and speechless.
At this moment, Tianqi yelled coldly and said, "Zhongjing Liu, come over here!" Upon hearing this, Zhongjing Liu was panicked.
Others don't know, but he knows whether his miraculous medicine has cured Tianqi's illness. Now that he sees the righteous master, he has to wear his lies.
But at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and step forward and respectfully said: "Old Shi."
Tianqi angrily rebuked, "I just heard you say that you cured my disease with the medicine in your hand?"
Zhongjing Liu panicked and said: "Old Shi, I am not covering up and bragging, please forgive me."
In fact, Zhongjing Liu knew very well that after he sold the medicine to Tianqi, Tianqi made it clear that the medicine was very powerful and relieved his injuries, but it was still far from a cure.
The reason why he said just now that this medicine cured Tianqi was mainly to pretend to force himself.
However, he never dreamed that Tianqi would appear here.
At this moment, facing Tianqi, he was extremely nervous. Although he is also a well- known traditional medicine doctor, he is still far behind Tianqi. Tianqi is the president of the traditional medicine Association. If he provokes him, he would say something. He can remove him from the TCM circle.
In that way, all the hard work of my life will be lost.
Tianqi was not prepared to forgive Zhongjing Liu so easily. He looked at Zhongjing Liu and said coldly: "You have offended Mr. Wade, don't you hurry up and apologize!"
Zhongjing Liu was so angry, what the h*ll? Want to apologize to a little boy? Why? Even if he brags, it doesn't mean he is worse than Charlie!
Thinking of this, he stubbornly said: "Old Shi, I admit that I brag about you, but this kid with the name Wade speaks wildly and insults my magical medicine. Why should I
apologize to him?"
Tianqi had a dark face, and after leading him aside, he whispered: "You idiot! Do you know that the magic medicine in your hand is made by Mr. Wade? How dare you talk like that about him?"
"What?" Zhongjing Liu cried out in disbelief: "This magical medicine was made by Charlie?"
Tianqi said coldly: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Wade has refined a magical medicine with better effects a few days ago. My old wounds are cured by Mr. Wade's magical
medicine! You dare to question his level ?!"
Zhongjing Liu panicked and couldn't choose his way. His sweat continued to flow. He hurriedly explained: "Master, I didn't know that the magic medicine was made by Mr. Wade. If I knew it earlier, how could I dare to do this."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Tianqi said coldly: "It's late! After this incident, I will suggest the health department to permanently revoke your medical qualification certificate!"
As soon as he said this, Zhongjing Liu's face instantly became extremely pale, and his body was suddenly cold and sweaty, and he was scared to death.
Then, he reacted with a plop, kneeling directly in front of Charlie, kowtow, crying and begging: "Mr. Wade, I am wrong, I apologize to you! I lied to everyone, this magic
medicine I didn't develop it at all, I bought it. I don't know if it can cure high paraplegia. I just took it out and flicked it out. I have no eye to see it and bumped into you. Please, please spare my life! "
After he finished speaking, he knelt down, slapped himself and apologized again, breaking down and crying.
At this scene, Gao Junwei was even more stunned to see Claire and Elaine's mother and daughter in shock.
Elaine also expected this magical Doctor Zhongjing to help her husband, but who would have thought that he would kneel down and apologize to Charlie.
Gao Junwei's face was pale, and he clenched his hands tightly, only to feel that Charlie's face was completely stepped under his feet.
But he didn't believe in Charlie's great ability, and he was unwilling to bow his head to this waste.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Orvel suddenly sneered at him and asked Charlie for instructions: "Mr. Wade, what should I do with this man?"
He was in front of Charlie, but he didn't dare to make claims, otherwise, he would attack Gao Junwei's previous attitude towards Charlie, and he would deal with the opponent to death.
Charlie said calmly: "You can figure it out by yourself."
After Orvel heard this, he was about to say that people would beat him up, but Qin
Gang frowned and asked: "The man has a big status, I heard Limo say that you were the one who embarrassed Mr. Wade at the auto show yesterday. Right?"
"Ah, no, that's not me"
Gao Junwei panicked completely.
Although he suffered a big loss yesterday, in the final analysis it was his trouble finding Charlie. Now it seems that people have to settle two accounts together.
When Orvel heard this, he suddenly sneered and said: "Okay, it turns out that you, a dog with no eyesight, felt sorry for Mr. Wade yesterday! Okay, I will let you know the cost of having trouble with Mr. Wade!"
After that, he immediately ordered his opponent: "Come on, throw this unopenable thing down the window!"
Gao Junwei was so scared that he did not dare to hold on anymore. He knelt on the ground and cried out, "Mr. Charlie, I was wrong. I apologize to you. I don't dare
anymore. Please forgive me. This time"
Charlie sneered and said, "Aren't you quite capable? What do you want me to do with this waste?"
Gao Junwei cried loudly with his nose and tears: "Charlie, I was really wrong, I am a Rubbish! I am a rag! I am the biggest smelly rag in the world! Please raise your hand let me go once."
Charlie kicked him away and said coldly, "Have you heard a word? You didn't respond to me before, but now I can't afford you."
After that, he shouted to Mr. Orvel: "What are you drowsy at?!"
Mr. Orvel's expression stunned, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "Have you been so f*cking stunned? Even if you are stunned, you also jump down for me!"
Without saying anything, several of Orvel's men immediately lifted Gao Junwei up, and with a scream, they threw him out the window.
Claire suddenly covered her mouth, her heart pounding, and her mind went blank. This is the third floor. What if Gao Junwei falls down?
Thinking of this, she and Elaine rushed out the window.
However, Gao Junwei's condition was life-threatening, just clutching his legs on the lawn and screaming constantly.
Because he happened to be in the hospital, a doctor arrived soon and sent him to emergency.
Claire also breathed a sigh of relief. Recently, Gao Junwei has been leaning on her, and he has repeatedly insulted Charlie, which made her a little disgusted.
Now that the other party has clearly broken his leg, it seems that he will not come back to pester her for a while.
Charlie took advantage of this moment, quietly walked to Tianqi, took out a pill he
refined for the second time from his pocket, and whispered: "Mr. Shi, you will give it to me later. The Old Master treated the illness and then gave him this medicine."
In fact, on the way to the hospital, Charlie planned to personally treat the Old Master. With the pills he refined, he could heal a spine injury without any effort.
However, after he arrived at the hospital, he discovered that Gao Junwei had invited the genius Doctor Zhongjing. With these two people disrupting the situation, his mother-in- law Elaine would never let him interfere.
Moreover, he was also worried that if he took out the magic medicine, it would make his wife and mother-in-law confused, and it would be difficult to explain it.
Now that Tianqi is here, it couldn't be more convenient for him to handle this matter.
With the help of Tianqi, a master of traditional medicine, to heal the Old Master, he can definitely explain the past.
After all, Tianqi has a huge reputation, and he can also be convinced that he can perform medical miracles.
Tianqi understood his thoughts, but was surprised to ask: "Mr. Wade, spinal injury is a not a common problem in Chinese and Western medicine. There is no way to overcome it now. Can your magical medicine really cure it?"
After speaking, he said apologetically: "Sorry, Mr. Wade, I didn't mean to doubt your magic drug, but I was a little nervous. This is really beyond my understanding."
Charlie said lightly: "Don't worry, this medicine can repair the damage to the spine."
Tianqi was surprised and said: "Oh, if your father-in-law is cured, this will be a medical miracle. If it spreads out, it will shock the whole world. How can I dare to take such a reputation."
Charlie said indifferently: "You should know that I am not a person who seeks a reputation. Besides, I am not involved in the medical profession. Therefore, it is not appropriate for me to do this kind of thing. It is you. If you can cure the spine with traditional medicine. It spreads out, this is a great miracle of our Chinese TCM, and it will
surely make the whole world look at TCM with admiration, so you should stop rejecting it."
When Tianqi heard this, he nodded immediately, took the pill, and respectfully said: "Mr. Wade, I obey!"
Charlie suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "By the way, only half the capsule is needed to treat spinal injuries, and the remaining half will be given to you."
Tianqi trembled all over
Can half a capsule cure high paraplegia caused by spinal injury? This is amazing, right? !
What made him even more excited was that Charlie was actually willing to give the remaining half to him.
This is simply a great reward!
After all, the medicine that Mr. Wade gave him last time had already been taken by himself.
Although he healed the old wounds that he had never healed in his life, his fate with that magical medicine only lasted a moment.
Now, everyone else still had the magic medicine given by Mr. Wade, but his was gone.
Tianqi himself felt a little regretful, but he knew that Charlie was so kind to him, and before he repaid him, he was really embarrassed to talk to Charlie again.
But now, Charlie actually wants to give him half of the remaining medicine for the treatment!
This made him extremely excited and moved.
If you have this half, you will have one more life-saving support in the future! Tianqi was so excited that he could not wait to kneel to Charlie immediately.
With two chokes, Tianqi burst into tears and nodded again and again: "Mr. Wade's great kindness, I will never forget!"
Charlie gave him a calm look, and then said: "Okay, go for treatment, don't make my wife anxious."

The Great Tennessee Air Show 2021 at the Smyrna Airport was sold-out
The Great Tennessee Air Show drew thousands of spectators for dynamic, high-flying performances over the weekend for a sold-out event.
U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds headlined the event.
"I love the air show and I love the Thunderbirds. That's why we're here," said Todd Ellison, of Murfreesboro, a U.S. Air Force veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom who travels to air shows across the country. "It's the noise. It's the smell of the jet fuel. It's the speed. The technology is amazing."
The lineup included some spectacular performances from military aircraft demonstrations like the U.S. Navy F-35 Team, An EA-18G Growlers and the U.S. Special Op Command Parachute Team.
Other performers included U.S. National Aerobatic champions Mike Wiskus of Lucas Oil Air Shows, nine-time winner Rob Holland, and Mike Goulian (Red Bull Air Races Champion), as well as Gregory "Wired"…

A bright nine-year-old, Micaela's chest was expanding inwards rather than outwards, because her ribs were wrongly positioned. Her plight was brought to ACCA by the Community Centre in Lagos and her family doctor; she needed specialist medical equipment – a small vacuum bell – regularly use of which would avoid serious surgery, but the €600 cost was something her parents could not consider (they are in the Centre's food support programme) and Social Segurançia was not prepared to help.
ACCA, through its generous supporters, provided the bell… that will literally ring the changes for Micaela.
Every child deserves to be loved, to feel safe, to have a reason to smile.
Without the assistance of our generous and caring sponsors, ACCA would not be able to deliver financial and practical support to the many homes, institutions and individuals in the Algarve.
We are grateful, too, to the companies and individuals who are always ready to offer ACCA special prices for their products and services, and to professionals like dentists Dr Tony Bettencourt and Dr Harold Bettencourt who have changed the lives of so many young people, taking away the pain they have suffered for years, replacing it with pride, for the first time, and confidence.

Staged by Sven-Eric Bechtolf, this Così Fan Tutte is true to text, humorous and precise, and its classically aesthetic interpretation is good for "a whole lot of laughs" (Münchner Merkur).
The fresh ensemble gives its all on stage: Gerald Finley as Don Alfonso, exercising his "noble, supple baritone"(Salzburger Nachrichten) - the New York Times rates him "outstanding". The two sisters Fiordiligi and Dorabella, come across well: "a feast of fine voices … special praise for Malin Hartelius as Fiordiligi and Marie-Claude Chappuisas Dorabella" writes the Donaukurier.
Luca Pisaroni, "the world's most sought after Guglielmo" (New York Times) enchants with the "splendid timbres of his sonorous and colourful baritone" (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), while Martin Mitterrutzner as Ferrando "dispatched all three arias with ease" (New York Times).
The Vienna Philharmonic, for the first time in a Salzburg Festival opera production, is conducted by Christoph Eschenbach, whose interpretation ensures "drive and sharp dynamic contrast" (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) and "dramatic outbursts" in the orchestra pit (Der Standard).


Eastern filbert blight (EFB) is a devastating fungal disease of European hazelnut, Corylus avellana L., and is considered to be the primary reason hazelnuts have not been developed as a commercial crop in the eastern United States. The pathogen, Anisogramma anomala, is native to a wide area east of the Rocky Mountains, where it is harbored by the wild hazelnut C. americana Marshall. While C. americana is tolerant of the disease, EFB causes stem cankers, dieback, and death of C. avellana, the hazelnut of commerce. The absence of EFB, along with a mild climate, allowed for the development of a commercial hazelnut industry in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), which thrived for nearly a century. However, despite quarantine efforts, EFB was discovered in Washington in the late 1960s and has spread throughout the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where 99 percent of the United States crop is produced, causing significant economic losses. To combat this disease, a major investment in research and breeding was made by Oregon State University (OSU), the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Oregon hazelnut industry. Over the last 30 years, these efforts have resulted in the development of a better understanding of A. anomala as well as effective disease management protocols and improved resistant cultivars, leading to a recent revival of the industry.
Building on advances made in Oregon, a hazelnut research and genetic improvement program was initiated at Rutgers University in New Jersey in 1996. Realizing the major limiting factor to production of commercial-quality hazelnuts in this region was EFB, the initial focus was to evaluate known sources of resistance to the disease in both C. avellana and other Corylus species, along with investigating pathogenic variation of the fungus, which was unknown at the time. In support of this work, close collaboration was developed with the OSU hazelnut program to evaluate their plant material when exposed to A. anomala isolates originating from across its native range; it is believed a limited diversity of the fungus is present in the PNW due to its occurrence likely having arisen from a single point introduction. In addition, wide germplasm collections were made in Europe to search for novel sources of resistance and to identify plants expressing other traits important in the eastern United States, such as cold hardiness and nuts that fall free from the husk at maturity. Concurrent with this work, controlled hybridizations were made annually to incorporate genes for EFB resistance from a diversity of backgrounds with the superior nut quality and yield expressed by OSU cultivars and breeding selections. Today, over 25,000 hazelnut seedlings are under evaluation in greenhouses and field nurseries at Rutgers.
An overview of the objectives and progress to date of the Rutgers breeding program were provided, including resistance screening protocols, findings on the pathogenic variation of A. anomala, the identification of novel sources of resistance, and the development of molecular biology tools to assess genetic diversity and population structure of the pathogen and to assist in its early detection for disease management and efficient breeding.

When you reach the end of the day and realise you haven't achieved the things you wanted to. You've got a hectic day tomorrow, which means you'll be too stressed to get them done, and now you feel full of self-doubt and anxiety.
Wouldn't it be great to wake up the next day feeling fresh, positive and confident instead?
When you're rushing around and unprepared in the morning, it makes you vulnerable to engaging with negative thinking. However, if you develop your own Confidence Boosting Morning Routine, even for just a few minutes, you can feel confident and alert.
Eat breakfast mindfully. When I eat breakfast I tend to be distracted by the family or by multitasking. Take the time to sit down properly and notice the smell, taste and texture of your food as you eat it. This keeps you present and has also been shown to reduce the amount you eat.
Do you have any other ideas on how to start the day confidently? Let me know so I can try them out in my routine.

Vice Versa is therefore organizing a debate evening in Pakhuis de Zwijger together with the FGG alliance*, Solidaridad and FMO on Friday 20 September about this "forgotten climate roundtable".
The evening revolves around the role of Dutch business in global climate change - for example by constructing ports and infrastructure for the fossil industry or by exporting a destructive large-scale agricultural and animal husbandry model.
But it is mainly about the role that the government plays in this by supporting these practices on a large scale through subsidies and other forms of state aid. So there is still a world to be gained for the Netherlands in climate measures outside our borders.
During the Climate Roundtable International-event, a number of interesting panel members from politics, business, science and civil society will debate this. Laurie van den Burgh of Milieudefensie participates on behalf of the FGG alliance.

Atradius DSB
Paris Proof Export Support
Location: Pakhuis de Zwijger Amsterdam
Almost two-thirds of the export credit insurances that Atradius DSB provided in the 2012-2018 period went to the fossil energy sector. That is contrary to the climate agreements that the Netherlands signed in Paris.

Press release: Government undermines its own climate policy with export credit insurance
The Netherlands provides export credit insurances and guarantees worth 1.5 billion euros annually to Dutch companies active in the oil and gas sector abroad. This support amounts to one and a half times the annual amount that the Cabinet of Prime Minister Rutte mobilises for climate initiatives worldwide. The intended effects of Dutch international climate policy are more than offset by this fossil export support. That is the conclusion of a new report from Both ENDS which is published today.
High time to phase out support for fossil fuel industries (Annual Report 2017)
In 2017 Both ENDS stepped up its efforts to stop the Dutch government from supporting the fossil fuel industry. Phasing out fossil fuels is key to achieving the goals set in the Paris Climate Agreement. To Both ENDS, there is another reason: fossil fuel-related projects often have disastrous effects for the poorest people in the Global South.

Our recommendations for the legislative review of Canada's Export Credit Agency
Every 10 years, the mandate and activities of 'Export Development Canada' (EDC), the Canadian export credit agency, are reviewed. Since the last review took place in 2008, another review is currently underway. Both ENDS and a couple of other CSOs working from a number of countries made a joint submission as formal input to the legislative review. We did this especially in light of the Canadian governments' ambition to show leadership on climate change and to prioritise climate change action and clean economic growth.

Stop funding fossils at the 'One Planet Summit' in Paris
Yesterday, the French President Macron, the President of the World Bank Group, Jim Yong Kim, and the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, met with international leaders and committed citizens from around the world in Paris. According to the organisers, the aim of this gathering was to 'address the ecological emergency for our planet' as 'two years to the day after the historic Paris Agreement, it is time for concrete action.'
Politicians ask for sustainable export support
Last June, Both ENDS published a report which showed clearly that, through export credit insurance provider Atradius Dutch State Business (ADSB), the Netherlands is supporting the fossil fuel sector on a large scale. Between 2012 and 2015, ADSB provided billions of euros in insurance and guarantees, on behalf of the State of the Netherlands, to fossil-related export projects. This support is completely out of line with the Paris Climate Agreement. On 20 June, members of parliament Lammert van Raan (PvdD) and Sandra Beckerman (SP) submitted questions to the State Secretaries for Finance and for Infrastructure and the Environment.
Press release / 27 September 2017
Despite climate agreements, the Netherlands supports the fossil sector with 7.6 billion euros a year
Although outgoing economics minister Henk Kamp stated in May of this year that fossil fuels are not subsidised in the Netherlands, a report out today shows that this is clearly not the case. The report. 'Phase-Out 2020: Monitoring Europe's fossil fuel subsidies', by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) and Climate Action Network Europe (CAN-Europe), says that the Netherlands is supporting the fossil sector at home and abroad with more than 7.6 billion euros a year (1). The Netherlands made international agreements as long ago as 2009 (2) to ban subsidies for fossil fuels. Environment NGO Milieudefensie and Both ENDS – both members of CAN-Europe – call attention to these findings because they find it unacceptable that the government perpetuates our dependence on fossil fuels in this way.

Criticism of Dutch pension fund ABP's investments in coal, oil and gas
The Dutch pension fund, ABP, invested about two billion euros more in the fossil energy industry at the end of 2016 than the year before. This is announced by the report "Dirty & Dangerous: the fossil fuel investments of Dutch pension fund ABP," published today by Both ENDS, German urgewald and Fossielvrij NL. The report criticizes these investments because of the impact on the climate and the catastrophic consequences for the people in the areas where coal, oil and gas are being produced.

Biografia
Figlio di Ōtani Yoshitsugu, Yoritsugu servì Toyotomi Hideyoshi il quale gli assegnò un feudo da  koku nella provincia di Echizen. Gli fu concesso di prendere il cognome di famiglia di Hideyoshi poiché entrò nelle grazie di quest'ultimo. Usò anche il kanji  Yori che gli fu concesso in onore del figlio di Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Hideyori.

Durante la campagna di Sekigahara del 1600 si unì all'esercito occidentale con suo padre e suo fratello Ōtani Yoshikatsu. Con oltre 700 soldati affidatigli dal padre, combatte contro l'esercito di Maeda Toshinaga nella regione del regione di Hokuriku.

Arrivato a Sekigahara, nella battaglia principale si schierò con il fratello nell'ala destra dell'esercito occidentale. L'attacco a tradimento di Hideaki Kobayakawa dal monte Matsuo fu fermato inizialmente da Toda Shigemasa e Hiratsuka Tamehiro, che tuttavia vennero travolti quando altri daimyō si unirono a Hideaki. Messe in rotta anche le linee degli Ōtani, suo padre Yoshitsugu gli ordinò di lasciare il campo di battaglia prima di togliersi la vita. Yoritsugu fuggì e si nascose a Echizen, ma morì di malattia lo stesso anno. Alcune fonti riportano che sia morto a Sekigahara.
