For the month of March, we won't be having any activities but then I would strongly advice you to keep a look out for our emails as for the month of April, May and June we have a series of talks and field trips lined up to stimulate a wider interest in, and knowledge of, all aspects of Sabah's diverse natural and cultural heritage.
One of the things we have planned for June is the Lankayan Field Trip during the Harvest Festival!
When we talk about island trips, one thinks about crystal clear water and the myriads of amazing marine life that one can observe.
During this trip, aside from sunshine, beaches, swimming and photography, we are going to learn more about the island and the ongoing conservation efforts conducted. A representative from Reef Guardian will be giving us a talk on the night of 30th May. It would not just be a time of knowing more about Sabah but also what are the efforts made in conserving our natural heritage and how you can help in this.
Do take note, places are limited.

Steve Bannon: Alt-Right Anti-Catholic or Political Opportunist?
Frank Cocozzelli print page
Sun Dec 18, 2016 at 01:37:26 PM EST
In March 2016 Trump campaign strategist and CEO Steve Bannon made a comment that could be construed as being blatantly anti-Catholic. He accused the Catholic Church of supporting immigrant rights in order to pad the number of their American following. And as expected several Catholic spokesmen seized on the remarks, attacking Bannon as a bigot.
And while this criticism may well be warranted, it overlooks a more ominous dimension of Bannon's character. He will say anything in the blind pursuit of political power.
That Steve Bannon comes from a working-class Irish Catholic family should not be lost upon us but for now; hold that thought. The former editor of Breitbart News has ascended to the pinnacle of American political power as the president elect's chief White House Strategist. That is quit a feat for someone who was not well known until last year.
After high school Bannon joined the Navy where he served as an officer on a destroyer and later as a special assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations at the Pentagon. He attended Virginia Tech as an undergrad and then earned a Masters Degree in National Security Studies at Georgetown and MBA at Harvard. Shortly thereafter, he made a fortune at Goldman Sachs. He has wisely picked moneymaking opportunities that have greatly enriched him (for example, by dint of an investment in the TV show "Seinfeld," he receives a healthy stream of royalties). But his main gambit has been to be part of rising political power and demonstrating a marked indifference to the collateral damage he does along the way.
Let us return to the example cited above. Bannon's modus operandi is goring established power structures both on the left and on the right. He specializes in appealing to the sometimes inconsistent and often contrary emotions of the American working class voter. And he does this successfully by keeping his opponents off balance. His comments on Catholicism bear this out in spades.
Back in 2014 Bannon somehow wrangled a plum presentation to speak before a Vatican conference on economics. Speaking to the gathering via Skype he echoed many of Pope Francis' themes about economic inequality, flavoring his statement with allusions to Distributive Justice. On its face it appeared to be an effort to be seen within the good graces of Catholic social justice. But just as quickly as Bannon will identify with the Church, he will not think twice about criticizing that same institution. Earlier this year in an interview with the Catholic neocon Robert P. George, The Hill reported:
I understand why Catholics want as many Hispanics in this country as possible because the church is dying in this country...
Earlier in that same interview, Bannon said of Ryan:
Paul Ryan is a Catholic in good standing. He's rubbing his social-justice Catholicism in my nose every second.
In one felt swoop Bannon was able to touch upon the criticism that many blue-collar Catholics would identify with while taking a simultaneous swipe at Republican party establishment figure Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. That was clearly by design.
It is not surprising -- indeed expected -- that such remarks would be criticized as anti-Catholic. To that end, several prominent Catholic groups and writers have made such criticisms (of course, our friend Bill Donohue was silent on the issue). Indeed his Paul Ryan comment was darkly ingenious. He managed to paint the Speaker of the House as a raging Catholic distributist when indeed his economic philosophy is still far more reflective of Ayn Rand than Pope Francis. But Ryan served a purpose and that was to criticize the very same faith Bannon had recently praised.
This is not the first time that Bannon has been charged with racial insensitivity. His associations with Breitbart News have reached a new low in appealing to the anti-Semitic prejudices of many on the Alt-Right. The often-cited headline about neoconservative William Kristol being labeled as a "renegade Jew" immediately comes to mind. But let us look closer at that article to better understand the game that Bannon is playing -- and it is a very dangerous one, indeed.
The hyperbolic Bannon has admitted that Breitbart News provides a platform for the Alt-Right. But when we understand that the Kristol hit piece was written by conservative writer David Horowitz, himself Jewish, we begin to get the full measure of Bannon's strategic recklessness.
Plausible deniability for his serial transgressions is a necessary element of the Bannon strategy. He will bump up to and even cross into anti-Semitism by a flagrant anti-Semitic remark but use a Jewish writer, conservative David Horowitz, to do so. Likewise, with his blistering criticism of the Catholic Church's immigration policy he could again point to his own roots in Catholic economics and his Vatican appearance. In this way he can deny being either anti-Semitic or anti-Catholic but still tickle the prejudices of those who despise Jewish intellectuals or Catholic empathy for the marginalized immigrant -- hence the danger of his game.
Bannon likes to state that he is not a white nationalist but simply a nationalist of an economic bent. He understands the benefit of New Deal-style stimulus. To that end there is a dose of Keynesian stimulus in his ideas in that he believes in infrastructure investment. However, unlike Keynes he fails to advocate the use of fiscal policy to fund such final projects. This again serves him well to the unsuspecting observer to whom he may appear to be a Catholic distributist in the mode of Monsignor John A. Ryan.
But Bannon is no Monsignor Ryan.
A better analogy would be Reverend Charles Coughlin -- the anti-Semitic populist priest who subverted distributive justice teachings to fit a demagogic movement. Like Coughlin, Bannon is not above marrying very un-Christian bigoted overtones to Catholic economic pleas for justice. This is not a message that is neither fully pro nor anti-Catholic (or for that matter pro or anti-Jewish) but one that is truly opportunistic
Bannon exposed the heart of his message when he told The Hollywood Reporter that "Darkness is good ... Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That's power. It only helps us when [liberals] they get it wrong. When they're blind to who we are and what we're doing."" The reader should take note of the very dark figures he pointed to. All of them, whether real or fictional, were power-above-all-else characters. And much like those characters he so openly admires he is not above doing collateral damage to our civil discourse, notions of domestic tranquility, and the very civility of American democracy. After all, it is not justice that he seeks

Good points (5.00 / 1)
It's not clear whether Bannon is still a practicing Catholic. If he is, I'd recommend him for a Coughie award. I am not surprised at Bill Donohue's silence. Bill D's probably with Bannon.

Bigotry? (none / 0)
The author of this article is closing his eyes to the real character of the papacy. Amazing to me that nowadays apprehensions of the papacy can be ascribed to bigotry, when the papacy slaughtered millions upon millions during the Dark Ages. Under the papacy's reign, the Scriptures were almost unknown. The church Council of Tarragona ruled that: "No one may possess the books of the Old and New Testaments in the Romance language, and if anyone possesses them he must turn them over to the local bishop within eight days after the promulgation of this decree, so they may be burned." D. Lortsch, Histoire de la Bible en France, 1910, p.14. The Founders wisely sought to guard against the employment of secular power on the part of the church, with its inevitable result-- intolerance and persecution. The Constitution of the United States guarantees liberty of conscience. Nothing is dearer or more fundamental. Pope Pius IX, in his Encyclical Letter of August 15, 1854, said: `The absurd and erroneous doctrines or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience are a most pestilential error--a pest, of all others, most to be dreaded in a state.' " Americans are now in denial. The pope addressed Congress last year for the first time in American history and went on about "the greater good." The greater good as defined by the papacy. People don't realize that our Constitutional freedoms are protestant freedoms. A Catholic wrote the Patriot Act. Catholic governor Brown of California signed the bill to force vaccinations on children whose parents had religious objections. There is now no protestants on the Supreme Court. The oldest Catholic publication in America boasts that the Catholic takeover of the United States is almost complete: https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/blog/catholic-takeover-us-almo st-complete." It is my opinion that if the liberties of this country - the United States of America - are destroyed, it will be by the subtlety of the Roman Catholic Jesuit priests, for they are the most crafty, dangerous enemies to civil and religious liberty. They have instigated most of the wars of Europe." - General Lafayette, aide to General George Washington (1799). Our leaders and the American people are closing their eyes to the real character of the papacy, but the day is coming when we will feel what the purpose of the papacy really is - she is employing every device to extend her influence and increase her power in preparation for a fierce and determined conflict to regain control of the world, to re-establish persecution, and to undo all that Protestantism has done.

My experience (none / 0)
of most protestants in this Christian-dominated hellhole compared to Roman Catholics is that they are 100 times as intolerant and more likely to use sneaky, underhanded methods of coercion (such as blocking employment, preaching hateful sermons against living people, stalking, harassment, poisoning pets, or arson) than a Roman Catholic.
You're spouting the same old tired anti-Catholic rhetoric that I've learned is common to dominionists of all flavors. Give it a break - the only Christians I've experienced who were actually tolerant and freedom-oriented (on a constant basis) are the Unitarian Universalists. Their history is something I would suggest that people read... unlike the rest, they've been far more tolerant than any other Christian or Muslim sect. On the conservative to liberal spectrum, the farther to the left (liberal) a church is, the more likely they will NOT be coercive and abusive. Those that are further to the right are more likely to try to coerce those on the left to be more like them... read what has been written on this website about the IRD.
Before you try to pigeon hole me, I am not atheist, I am not Christian, I am not pagan... I literally don't have the words to describe what I AM but I don't do pigeonholes. I'm relating our experiences, which drove us away (permanently) from your religion and the churches you claim are so good. Think about that.

I, too, live in the south, and the Dominionist-leaning protestants are a lot more oppressive than any Catholics I know. They want Christian Sharia, and it will be worse than the middle ages if they get it.

This week, Governor Pete Ricketts was joined at the State Capitol by representatives from Nebraska's aviation industry to celebrate General Aviation Appreciation Month. General aviation and community airports are vital to the Nebraska economy and play a key role in the continued flow of commerce, tourists, and visitors to the state. Governor Ricketts has been a constant advocate for infrastructure in the state, including supporting advancements at general aviation airports throughout Nebraska.
Governor Ricketts was joined at a signing event by Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) Director Kyle Schneweis and NDOT Division of Aeronautics Director Ronnie Mitchell. The Department of Roads and Department of Aeronautics merged in 2017 to become the Nebraska Department of Transportation.
The merger gave the department the ability to have a more coordinated transportation system to drive Nebraska's economy on the ground, through the air, and by shipping freight. The state's 80 public-use airports are important to the movement of personnel, equipment, and product helping the aviation industry generate more than $1.2 billion in annual economic output.

NATSO Progressing Toward 2030 Fast-Charging Commitment
By John Lofstock | April 1, 2021
ChargePoint Inc. and NATSO, which represents travel plazas and truckstops, said it has made significant progress in the first year of the National Highway Charging Collaborative, an initiative that will leverage $1 billion in public and private capital to deploy charging at more than 4,000 travel plazas and fuel stops serving highway travelers and rural communities nationwide by 2030.
In its first year, the public-private Collaborative successfully funded more than 150 DC fast charging spots with additional access to more than 1,500 publicly available DC fast charging spots for consumers on ChargePoint's existing network.
The Collaborative continues to aggressively scale its efforts, expecting to reach $1 billion in investments by 2030. This is in line with the expected arrival rate of dozens of new EV models. The National Highway Charging Collaborative is increasing access to EV charging along highways and in rural North America by filling infrastructure gaps along the National Highway System, including along the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) designated alternative fuel corridors. The FHWA also highlights the National Highway Charging Collaborative as part of its Alternative Fuel Corridors Best Practices.
Bloomberg NEF estimates EVs will make up 10% of all vehicles sold by 2025 and increase to more than 29% by 2030. With more than $11 million of public and private funding leveraged to date as part of the Collaborative, new fast charge sites are connecting rural communities and enabling long distance electric travel across more than eight states including California, Florida, Iowa, Missouri, and Washington.
The Collaborative has attracted support from some of the nation's most prominent travel plaza, convenience store and truckstop brands, including Kum & Go, Donna's Travel Plaza, Love's Travel Stops and Trillium, its alternative and renewable fuel provider; the Iowa 80 Group, and others.
"Together with ChargePoint, we are harnessing the nation's vast fuel retailing network to ensure that drivers of electric vehicles have a reliable place to fuel," said NATSO President and CEO Lisa Mullings. "In order for consumers to move to EVs, they need to be confident that they will be able to refuel as reliably as they do today. With thousands of established locations crisscrossing the nation, the private sector will ensure that drivers of electric-powered cars will not suffer from range anxiety. We are well suited to efficiently meet customer demand for electricity while providing the amenities and safe experience that they have come to expect as they refuel."
"Kum & Go is looking to the future with electric vehicle charging," said Ken Kleemeier, Vice President, Fuels at Kum & Go. "The marketplace is moving in this direction, and Kum & Go is putting the infrastructure in place to ensure that we are ahead of the curve."
"We believe that EV charging will be an important service that our customers will demand in the years ahead," said Brian Couch, Owner of Donna's Travel Plaza in Tulalip, Washington. "We are happy to be working with NATSO and ChargePoint to help us begin offering these services to our customers."
As part of an MOU announced in February 2020, the two organizations agreed that the National Highway Charging Collaborative will, by 2030:
Deploy charging infrastructure at 4,000 travel centers and fuel stops, leveraging $1 billion in capital.
Provide charging infrastructure at fueling locations across the United States with a focus on connecting rural communities.
Expand availability of charging infrastructure and connect existing Federal Highway Administration-designated FAST Act corridors.
Work together to achieve policy outcomes to support each of these objectives.
The Collaborative also advocates for public policies that are designed to create a business case for off-highway fuel retailers to invest in EV charging infrastructure. In those jurisdictions, the initiative continues to identify an increasing number of public and private funding sources available to support the expansion of EV charging at strategically determined locations.


During the three days, you will learn how to test an existing deployment, how to administer policies and reports, handle incidents and endpoints, upgrade and manage the Forcepoint DLP system. You will develop skills in creating data policies, building custom classifiers and using predefined policies, incident management, reporting, and system maintenance.
g)Testing limits of file size, large ZIPs and timeouts.
Thank you for registering. We shall get back to you with an official confirmation shortly.

Enhanced Reconnaissance Mode: This mode allows Spider-Man's hearing and optics to be enhanced. It enables both X-Ray and infrared vision to see through solid objects and locate his target. It also allows for enhanced audio reception capabilities to the point that he can eavesdrop on conversations from yards away. It also corresponds to the suit's database, allowing for data retrieval about certain individuals and their backgrounds.
The cowl's Kevlar panels provide a level of protection for his head against firearms. The front of the skull and the sides of the temples also have small armor inserts to increase the effectiveness of skull strikes and protect from concussive blows. Repeated encounters with the Mad Hatter also forced Batman to shield his cowl against the villain's mind control.
During the Character Creation process, a "difficulty slider" allows the player to adjust their skin color, with white, Caucasian skin being 'easy' and dark black skin being 'very hard', though the Coon reminds the player, "this doesn't affect combat, just about every other aspect of your whole life." The slider was nonetheless picked up in many news outlets as genuine, with many subsequently expressing displeasure that its effects in the final game are relatively small.
Similar to a grappling hook, the line launching gun uses a strong clamp attached to a high-tensil wire for scaling surfaces and/or traversing gaps. It can be recovered by releasing the clamp and rewinding the cable. It was based from one that is designed as compact climbing gear for commando units. It is propelled with compressed air, and works with a magnetic grappling iron. The thin climbing cable was tested on a load-carrying capacity of 350 lbs. The line can be attached to a reel in the buckle in the utility harness, but this was only used to escape after being defeated by the Scarecow in The Narrows.
Batman stands tall above Gotham City, and often times he has the weight of the entire world on his shoulders. Does he have what it takes to defeat The Joker ? Bane? Doomsday? When your little one takes the mantle of The Dark Knight, there will be no need to fret over which villain is threatening the neighborhood, because we're sure he'll be able to just focus on his Halloween party and all of the trick-or-treating fun. But when it's time to strike a pose and show the world that he's The Bat, you're going to want to get the picture just right. A little breeze will make his cape look epic, and when he has his fists on his hips, the molded effect of this premier costume really stands out. A stern face will project his newfound power, but if he happens to crack a smile, that photo will look just as epic.
We found out in a hurry after the hit films, Iron Man and Captain America: The First Avenger, that our brand new cinematic heroes were going to need a little help saving the world. That's why fans were prepared when The Avengers took the world by storm! With a bevy of films under the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this group has become a fan favorite for those watching and wanting to pay homage to them by going in costume. When you can find a friend to go in a Hulk costume or Thor costume we think you're going to find that your group has the chops to get the job done. And if you have a femme fatale to be the Black Widow? Well, then you're going to be downright unstoppable in your Marvel costumes!
Although supposedly designed for maximum flexibility and movement, the Nomex armor does restrict Batman's movement somewhat, slowing him down in combat. The design of the mask and cape also restricted his neck movement, making it impossible for him to turn his head, and forcing him to rely on peripheral vision. For these reasons, Bruce asked Lucius to design a new suit with faster, freer movement in mind.
The Classic Suit is the one Peter Parker begins this story using, and it appears he has been using this suit for the better part of 8 years. It features a smaller spider design on the front with the larger spider on the back - and more basic materials used in the design. It becomes damaged during the start of the story, during your fight with Kingpin.
Pursuing the Vulture once again, Peter Parker went to grab his homemade suit from beneath the school lockers. After changing hastily into his suit, Spider-Man went outside only to be ambushed by the Shocker, who subsequently knocked Spider-Man's Web-Shooters off his wrists, putting him at a disadvantage. Shocker relentlessly kept attacking Spider-Man, smashing him through school buses. Before Shocker could strike Spider-Man again, Ned used one of the Web-Shooters to distract the Shocker, and Spider-Man bound him to a school bus.[2]
Michele Gonzales: Michele is a criminal defense lawyer and the hot-tempered sister of Peter's roommate Vin Gonzales, as well his temporary roommate while Vin serves time for his involvement in the Spider-Tracer Killings frame-up (to which she got him a plea bargain[6]). When Michelle attempts to kick Peter out (who is actually the Chameleon in disguise) she is instead seduced by him and become infatuated with him.[7] She is almost constantly angry, and questioning her or drawing attention to the size of her buttocks really sets her off.[8] However, she is also a helpful and kind person, by trying hard to help her clients get their lives back on track. After pestering and bothering Peter tirelessly, she returned to her previous home in Chicago shortly after Vin's release.[9]
Spider-Man also fought the Rhino, Shocker, and the Scorpion. At one point, Peter felt that he was unable to carry the burden of being Spider-Man any longer and considered retiring from super-heroics. When the Kingpin of Crime made his move to take over the city, Peter knew that it was still his responsibility to protect the innocent and so he defeated this crime-lord and returned to crime fighting.

Spider-Man is one of the most popular and commercially successful superheroes.[11] As Marvel's flagship character and company mascot, he has appeared in countless forms of media, including several animated and live action television series, syndicated newspaper comic strips, and in a series of films. The character was first portrayed in live action by Danny Seagren in Spidey Super Stories, a The Electric Company skit which ran from 1974 to 1977.[12] In films, Spider-Man has been portrayed by actors Tobey Maguire (2002–2007), Andrew Garfield (2012–2014),[13] and Tom Holland (2016–present), who has portrayed the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2016. Reeve Carney starred as Spider-Man in the 2010 Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.[14] Spider-Man has been well received as a superhero and comic book character, and he is often ranked as one of the most popular comic book characters of all time, alongside DC Comics' most famous superheroes, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
The Marvel Zombies universe features a Spider-Man who has been turned into a flesh-eating zombie after being infected by Zombie Captain America.[12] Although Spider-Man is just as ravenous as the other zombies when hungry, when he has eaten, Spider-Man is racked with guilt at what he has done, especially for having eaten Mary Jane and Aunt May, but unable to change his nature.[13] At the conclusion of the original series, Spider-Man is one of the heroes who become The Galacti, having consumed the original Galactus and subsequently acquiring his cosmic powers.[14]
Wonder Woman has finally made her debut on the silver screen, and for us, we're just glad to have her around! There's no saying what threats could be facing the world, so having the Amazing Amazonian around for backup seems like a good idea. If you'd like to make sure you have an Amazing Amazon of your own to help save the day, we're sure your girl will be up for playing the part. Just accessorize her signature movie look with the included armbands, gauntlets, and headpiece, and she'll have the style look that made Princess Diana of Themyscira famous.

Spider-Man first appears in the episode Along Came A spider where he helps Captain America fight the serpent society He next appears in New Avengers where he leads the New lineup of Avengers against Kang...after the victory and return of the Original Avengers he officially becomes a member (although a reserve one). The last time he appeared was Avengers Assemble amongst the rest of Earth's heroes fighting The Heralds of Galactus.
Vacuum Seal: By pressing the emblem on the chest, Parker can expand the suit several sizes larger, allowing him to slip out of the suit easily. He can still wear undergarments under the suit because of its vacuum seal, which can also compress the suit to appear as though he is wearing nothing underneath.[2] Once the vacuum seal compresses the suit properly, the suit's A.I. initiates and performs a diagnostics check.
Spider-Man has changed his costume many times but would always return to his classic and most well known look which has varied sometimes. He has had many memorable costumes, including the Black & White symbiote suite, the Red & Gold Iron Spider suit, the Identity Crisis costumes, the Scarlet Spider costume, the White & Blue Armored Spider suit, the Bag-Man costume and recently he has started wearing a black & green costume. You can view several of Spider-Man's costumes in his costume gallery.
Today's Halloween customs are thought to have been influenced by folk customs and beliefs from the Celtic-speaking countries, some of which are believed to have pagan roots.[36] Jack Santino, a folklorist, writes that "there was throughout Ireland an uneasy truce existing between customs and beliefs associated with Christianity and those associated with religions that were Irish before Christianity arrived".[37] Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, which comes from the Old Irish for 'summer's end'."[38]

Kapliczka przydrożna pod wezwaniem św. Antoniego w Prudniku – zabytkowa barokowa kapliczka przydrożna, znajdująca się w Prudniku, na Lipnie, przy ul. Poniatowskiego 17.

Historia
Kapliczka została ufundowana przez rodzinę Fipper, ówczesnych właścicieli folwarku Lipno. We wnęce jej szczytu znajdował się obraz św. Antoniego, który został skradziony po II wojnie światowej. W środku umieszczony był obraz Matki Bożej. Później we wnęce umieszczono ludowego koguta, a wewnątrz obraz św. Antoniego. Obecnie we wnęce znajduje się figura Matki Bożej. Posługę duszpasterską nad nią pełnią zakonnicy z klasztoru Zakonu Braci Mniejszych.

Architektura

Kapliczka położona jest przy drodze prowadzącej do kościoła św. Józefa. Jest zwrócona frontem w stronę północną, schody prowadzące do jej wejście wyłożone są kostką granitową. Została wzniesiona na planie zbliżonym do kwadratu, z wypukło-wklęsłymi ścianami bocznymi i półkolistym zamknięciem.

W jej wnętrzu znajduje się stół ofiarny, na którym umieszczono polichromowany krucyfiks. Ponad nim zawieszono obraz o tradycjach ludowych, przedstawiający św. Antoniego ubranego w habit Zakonu Braci Mniejszych. Na lewym ramieniu trzyma Dzieciątko Jezus, a prawą dłonią wskazuje na miniaturę Prudnika.

To Asia, that poor dope did to his marriage."
For the last few days my husband has been talking about agape covering a multitude of sins; this morning saying it is the love we must ask for. What he says come roughly in sapphics, seemingly without context. I get a packet while watching my sink's suds swirl away; then get another with a cup of tea later in the evening. Busy and preoccupied, I have only half listened. We have a lot of silence around here, lately. I give him the "Uh-huh" of married life. Reading that poem, I begin to wonder whose sins he is talking about that need the covering of agape.
Thank you for offering us Steele's poetry, too. I am liking him.

Yamaha DTX450K 10 Electronic Drum Kit Review
Written by Rhythm Focus on June 27, 2018
This Yamaha DTX450K 10 Customizable Drum Kits Electronic Drum Kit review will take an in-depth look at this drum kit from Yamaha in order to help you decide if it's the right choice for you.
Design and Features

Features & Modes
Yamaha DTX450K Conclusion and Rating
This is a relatively compact drum kit, in that it is located on a single frame that is relatively short. While that's true though, a whole lot has been packed in: multiple drums, hi-hats, cymbals, tom, and kick. All of this is designed to give you the maximum number of options when playing, which is only helped further by the very impressive 169 different voices that come from Yamaha's standard bank (if you're played another Yamaha drum kit, then you will be familiar with these sounds). This can all be accessed via a controller that makes it very easy to change the sounds and styles to your liking. There's also an iOS app for those that want to take control via their phone.
The Yamaha DTX450K 10 Customizable Drum Kits Electronic Drum Kit is therefore great to play and provides you with a lot of different options.
Yamaha DTX450K 10 Customizable Drum Kits Electronic Drum Kit with Yamaha Drum Throne, FIRTH5A Drumsticks and JVC Full Size Headphones
The sound has been recorded from live drums
The bass pedal is from a real Yamaha drum set
Includes a HH65 Hi-Hat Controller and TP70S 3-zone snare drum pad
Cymbals are 10 inches wide
Extra wide 7.5 inch drum pads excellent for better drumming Click Here For The Best Deals On Amazon
What's more is that the drum pads themselves have been expertly crafted to deliver a truly satisfying drumming experience. This is possible for instance thanks to the 3-zone pads on the snares, which provide you with different sounds depending on how and where you strike the surface. The pads are also pleasingly large – 7.5 inch on average, with 10 inch cymbals and hi-hats.

All this creates a fantastic experience that belies its diminutive construction. Don't let that smaller size put you off either though: the actual build quality here is absolutely superb and everything looks and feels great to use. On top of that, it is also very durable and will stand the test of time.
You also get all of the great features that you have probably come to expect from Yamaha. That means multiple different modes – including some great training features that aim to mimic the experience of having a teacher sitting right next to you. For those starting out, this is a fantastic way to learn the drums.
This is a drum kit with a fantastic, high quality build and an excellent design. That's true of the frame, but more importantly, it's also true of the drums themselves which are highly sensitive and feel great to play.
The built-in voices, modes, and training make this a good choice for a beginner or an experienced drummer and the whole thing is expertly put together.
The other massive pro? This product also comes with headphones included! That's a great value for the asking price and really helps to sweeten the deal versus the competition.
There's little to dislike here, but it does fall short in a couple of areas.
For one, it's a shame there's no Android app – only iOS. It's also a shame that you have to pay for the extra midi tunes if you want them – and these are rather expensive.
It's also a shame that the frame is so small, which does somewhat restrict your playing style.
On the whole though, this is one of the best value electronic drum kits on the market. This Yamaha DTX450K 10 Customizable Drum Kits Electronic Drum Kit review finds the product to be an easy recommendation!

Rep. Matt Manweller says he won't serve another term if elected
Rep. Matt Manweller reacts during a public meeting of the 13th District State legislators at the Kittitas County Courthouse, Thursday. He responded to recent allegations of inappropriate conduct against him. (Yakima Herald-Republic / Brian Myrick)
By Kaitlin Bain Yakima Herald-Republic
Read Rep. Matt Manweller's full statement
Last week, media stories broke about an alleged relationship I had 22 years ago. As the Kavanaugh hearings have shown, there is no limit on how far back in time one can go to dig up such allegations. Since then, many constituents have reached out to me to offer their advice and support.
At this point we are only three weeks away from ballots going to the voters. My name will appear on those ballots regardless of what I decide to do with respect to my campaign and service to the district. I also believe it is important that the 68% of voters who identify as Republicans have someone to vote for.
That being said, today I am announcing that I will serve out the remainder of my term but it is not my intent to serve another term. If I am reelected, I plan to resign before the session begins or whatever the law requires. For the Republican Party, however, it is important that I am re-elected because the law would require that my seat be filled with another Republican.
The last year has been incredibly difficult for my family. Politics can be a very nasty endeavor which we have come to learn that first hand. Moving forward, I am primarily focused on creating a safe and healthy environment for my family, in particular, my wife and two children.
It has been an honor to serve the 13th District for the past six years.
Rep. Matt Manweller will not serve another term in the state House, he said Monday.
Manweller, R-Cle Elum, was asked to resign on Friday by party leaders in response to allegations he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old former high school student in 1997. He has denied the account.
The House Republican caucus met Monday morning. Manweller said in a message Monday afternoon he won't serve another term if re-elected.
"At this point we are only three weeks away from ballots going to the voters," he said in a text message. "My name will appear on those ballots regardless of what I decide to do with respect to my campaign and service to the district. I also believe it is important that the 68 percent of voters who identify as Republicans have someone to vote for."
If he is re-elected, he said he plans to resign before the session begins or "whatever the law requires." However, he said it's important he is re-elected so the seat can be filled with another Republican upon his resignation.
Manweller won 63 percent of the vote in the August primary.
His opponent, Sylvia Hammond, a Democrat from Ephrata, said the move circumvents the democratic process.
"People deserve to know who they're voting for," she said. "With the direction (Manweller's) going, people have no idea who they're voting for."
She said while campaigning, the majority of people she talks to are voters in the middle of the spectrum who look more at the candidate than just voting down the party ticket.
"People want to decide if the candidate is someone they're comfortable with or feel like they can trust or talk to. All of those things are critical," she said. "If all we did is vote for party, why would we have any candidates?"
Kittitas County Republican Party Chairman Marlene Pfeifer said it's the party's legal right to replace Manweller with another Republican should he be re-elected and then resign.
The party already has "several qualified candidates," including a former state legislator. Pfeifer wouldn't mention any specific names.
"That's the law that gives us the authority to do that," she said. "And most people voting for Matt are voting for a Republican."
Central Washington University fired the political science professor last month after an investigation into his conduct with female students. Manweller has vehemently denied the allegations and is suing for wrongful termination.
Officials with the Washington Secretary of State office have said that if Manweller wins the election but decides not to hold the seat, the district's Republican precinct committee officers would gather to choose three nominees for the seat and local county commissioners in the district would decide who the new lawmaker would be
House Republican Leader J.T. Wilcox, who called for Manweller to resign last week, said in an interview Monday with the Seattle Times that he didn't have a deadline in mind on when Manweller should step down and was pleased with the plans.
"I'm happy that he's deciding to find a way to say goodbye," Wilcox said.
Wilcox said he knows Manweller to be a devoted father and that he's been an effective legislator for his district. He said a recent conversation with Manweller was private and painful and somber, as Manweller is figuring out how he can best take care of his family.
"I absolutely wish him the best in that," Wilcox said. Wilcox said he didn't have any immediate candidates in mind to replace Manweller.
Manweller said he plans to spend his time out of the Legislature focusing on creating a "safe and healthy environment for my family, in particular, my wife and two children."
"The last year has been incredibly difficult for my family," he said. "Politics can be a very nasty endeavor, which we have come to learn that first hand."
Manweller represents the 13th District, including Grant, Lincoln, Kittitas and part of Yakima counties. Manweller has been in the Legislature since 2012 and rose to be the assistant floor leader in the House until GOP leaders asked him to step down from the leadership position in December.

Coronavirus research upended by politics
Peter Daszak is a scientist whose work is helping in the search for a COVID-19 cure. So why did the president just cancel Daszak's funding? It's the kind of politics which might seem ill-advised in a health crisis. President Trump is blaming China's government for the pandemic. The outbreak was first detected in the city of Wuhan. The administration has said, at times, the virus is man-made or that, if it's natural, it must have leaked out of a Chinese government lab. Both the White House and the Chinese Communist Party have been less than honest. And so, in China, and the U.S., the work of scientists like Peter Daszak is being undercut by pandemic politics.
Peter Daszak is a British-born American Ph.D. who's spent a career discovering dangerous viruses in wildlife, especially bats.
In 2003, in Malaysia, he warned 60 Minutes a pandemic was coming.
Peter Daszak in 2003 interview: What worries me the most is that we are going to miss the next emerging disease, that we're suddenly going to find a SARS virus that moves from one part of the planet to another, wiping out people as it moves along.
Peter Daszak
In the 17 years since that prophecy, Peter Daszak became president of the New York-based EcoHealth Alliance.
Peter Daszak: We're a nonprofit research organization that focuses on understanding where the pandemics come from, what's the risk of future pandemics and can we get in between this pandemic and the next one and disrupt it and stop it.
In China, EcoHealth has worked for 15 years with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Together they've catalogued hundreds of bat viruses, research that is critical right now.
Peter Daszak: The breakthrough drug, Remdesivir, that seems to have some impact on COVID-19 was actually tested against the viruses we discovered under our NIH research funding.
Scott Pelley: And so that testing would not have been possible–
Peter Daszak: No, it would not.
Scott Pelley: –if it hadn't been for the work that you did with the NIH grant?
Peter Daszak: Correct.
But his funding from the NIH, the U.S. National Institutes of Health, was killed, two weeks ago, by a political disinformation campaign targeting China's Wuhan Institute.
On April 14, Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz claimed China's Wuhan Institute had, quote, "birthed a monster." Gaetz is a vigorous defender of the president. He's been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly threatening a witness against Mr. Trump and he led a protest to delay impeachment testimony.
U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Florida, speaks during a rally hosted by FreedomWorks on Sept. 26, 2018, at the West Lawn of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Getty
Matt Gaetz on "Tucker Carlson Tonight": The NIH gives this $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, they then advertise that they need coronavirus researchers. Following that, coronavirus erupts in Wuhan.
There never was a $3.7 million U.S. grant to the Wuhan lab. But, the falsehood spread like a virus, in the White House, and without verification, in the briefing room.
Reporter in White House press briefing: There's also another report that the NIH, under the Obama administration, in 2015 gave that lab $3.7 million in a grant. Why would the U.S. give a grant like that to China?
President Trump: The Obama administration gave them a grant of $3.7 million? I've been hearing about that. And we've instructed that if any grants are going to that area – we're looking at it, literally, about an hour ago, and also early in the morning. We will end that grant very quickly.
That grant was to Peter Daszak's U.S.-based EcoHealth Alliance for disease prevention it does throughout the world. His work was considered so important that, last year, the grant was reauthorized and increased by the Trump administration.
Why it matters that the NIH cancelled a coronavirus research grant
Daszak had been spending about $100,000 a year collaborating with the Wuhan lab.
Peter Daszak: I can't just show up in China and say, "Hi, I wanna work on your viruses." I have to do this through the correct channels. So, what we do is we talk to NIH, and they approve the people we can work with in China. And that happened. And our collaboration with Wuhan was preapproved by NIH.
Scott Pelley: What is the theory of the work that you've done with the Wuhan lab?
Peter Daszak: Well, the idea is that we know that viruses that affect people and pandemics tend to come from wildlife. So, our strategy is to go to the wildlife source, find out where the viruses are, and try and shift behaviors like hunting and killing wildlife that would lead to the next outbreak. We also get the information into vaccine and drug developers so they can design better drugs.
The Wuhan Institute is internationally respected. Two years ago, a team from the U.S. Embassy visited. That team sent a cable to Washington, concerned that one lab in the complex had a serious shortage of trained investigators. But the cable, first reported by the Washington Post, emphasized the Wuhan Institute is "critical to future… outbreak prediction and prevention." EcoHealth's work with Wuhan ended one week after Mr. Trump's briefing room pledge, when the NIH revoked the grant.
Scott Pelley: They gave you no reason?
Peter Daszak: They said it was canceled for convenience and it doesn't fit within the scope of NIH's priorities right now.
Scott Pelley: And yet it was a high priority when the grant was reissued in 2019?
Peter Daszak: Yeah it's definitely puzzling. I mean, this grant received an incredibly high-priority score. It was in the top 3% of grants they reviewed. And that's unusual.
Maureen Miller
Maureen Miller: I was shocked. I was really, really surprised.
Maureen Miller is a Ph.D. epidemiologist at Columbia University who has collaborated with EcoHealth and Wuhan.
Maureen Miller: It stops the research that's essential to understanding where pandemics like the one we're going through, where they start.
Scott Pelley: How often are NIH grants terminated in this way?
Maureen Miller: This is the first one I've ever heard of. When they terminate an NIH grant, and it's not something that's usually taken lightly, it is for cause. There's fraud involved at some level. There is either manipulation of the data, you're putting your participants in harm's way, or your data are fraudulent.
Scott Pelley: And none of those things have been alleged with EcoHealth?
Maureen Miller: Absolutely not. None.
The National Institutes of Health, in its mission statement, says it exemplifies "the highest level of scientific integrity and public accountability." But it wouldn't tell us why the grant was cancelled or whether anything like it had happened before. The NIH told us to direct questions about the origin of the virus to the director of national intelligence.
The Chinese Communist Party has also blocked the truth. In the earliest days, the doctor in Wuhan who discovered the outbreak was silenced by local officials. He later died of COVID-19. In February, the Chinese did allow a visit by an international team of experts including American scientists.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks as President Donald Trump listens during a news briefing at the White House on the coronavirus outbreak, March 20, 2020, in Washington, DC. Getty
President Trump at State of the Union on 2/4/20: We are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the coronavirus outbreak in China.
Initially, President Trump praised China. But in the following weeks, testing in the U.S. failed to catch up to the need, vital equipment was short, bodies filled refrigerated trailers, and science was continuously challenged.
President Trump at 4/23/20 briefing: Then I see disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute, and is there a way we can do something like that by injection?
As the U.S. led the world in illness and death, the White House moved the focus to the Chinese government.
Last Sunday, Secretary of State Mike Pomepo attempted to resurrect a debunked theory that the virus was man-made in China.
Mike Pompeo on ABC's "This Week": Look, the best experts so far seem to think it was man-made. I have no reason to disbelieve that at this point.
He did have reason. Days before, the director of national intelligence said there was "wide scientific consensus" the virus was not man-made.
Martha Raddatz on ABC's "This Week": Your Office of the DNI says the consensus, the scientific consensus was not man-made or genetically modified.
Mike Pompeo on ABC's "This Week": That's right. I agree with that.
The same day pompeo tried to have it both ways, President Trump repeated the theory of a Chinese lab accident.
President Trump at Fox News town hall: I think they made a horrible mistake and they didn't want to admit it.
Elodie Ghedin
The administration has offered no evidence of an accident or genetic engineering. Dr. Elodie Ghedin is studying the genome of the virus in her lab at New York University.
Elodie Ghedin: People have been saying that's an engineered virus. And it's not. And we know that by looking at the genetic information, looking at the code. And the code tells you a lot.
Human-engineered viruses have common and obvious genetic components, including the virus's overall molecular structure called its backbone.
Elodie Ghedin: If a virus had been engineered, it would've used the backbones that we know. And there's none of that in that virus. And let's say it was a brand-new backbone. Well, it wouldn't look like what it's looking like, because we can find every piece of that virus. We can find these pieces in other very similar viruses that circulate in the wild. From the genetic information, it's clearly not an engineered virus.
Elodie Ghedin and most experts believe the virus, officially called SARS-CoV-2, passed from a wild animal into humans, perhaps in the wild animal market in Wuhan. Many early cases were traced to this market and a market like it was where the SARS virus jumped into a human in 2003.
Elodie Ghedin: A lot of these coronaviruses are found in bats. But we haven't found the exact match. We did find a close match in pangolins. It's an anteater. It's a wildlife that's been traded. People, you know, will consume its meat. But they also use in Chinese medicine, its scales.
Scott Pelley: Is there a way to know that this virus, SARS-CoV-2 emerged from the wild into the human population? Or has that not been proven yet?
Peter Daszak: Well, I'm a scientist. And what I do is I look at the evidence around a hypothesis. There is a huge amount of evidence that these viruses repeatedly emerge into people from wild animals in rural areas through things like hunting and eating wildlife. There is zero evidence that this virus came out of a lab in China.
Scott Pelley: Does the Wuhan Institute of Virology, to your knowledge, have this virus in its inventory?
Peter Daszak: No.
Scott Pelley: Why do you say so?
Peter Daszak: The closest known relative is one that's different enough that it is not SARS-CoV-2. So, there's just no evidence that anybody had it in the lab anywhere in the world prior to the outbreak.
Matt Gaetz on "Tucker Carlson Tonight": I have called on Secretary Azar to immediately halt this grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. They have not been honest and at worst, negligent to the point of many, many deaths throughout the world.
Matt Gaetz wears a gas mask on the floor of the House in early March
Dishonest and negligent allegations have now ended EcoHealth's carefully reviewed research designed to stop pandemics. Representative Matt Gaetz wore a gas mask on the floor of the House to lampoon the crisis. This was back in the beginning of March, weeks before masks were common. Peter Daszak, whose researchers wear masks to shield them from viruses in the wild, says his team is now facing layoffs.
Peter Daszak: This politicization of science is really damaging. You know, the conspiracy theories out there have essentially closed down communication between scientists in China and scientists in the U.S. We need that communication in an outbreak to learn from them how they control it so we can control it better. It's sad to say, but it will probably cost lives. By sort of narrow-mindedly focusing in on ourselves, or on labs, or on certain cultural politics, we miss the real enemy.

Środek ożaglowania – termin w żeglarstwie określający środek parcia, w którym przyłożona jest siła aerodynamiczna działająca na żagiel.

Metoda geometryczna wyznaczania środka ożaglowania
Istnieje wiele metod służących do wyznaczania środka ożaglowania (SOż). Najprostsza z nich to metoda geometryczna opisana poniżej. Wyniki eksperymentalne pokazują, że metoda ta nie daje dokładnego położenia SOż, jednak jest bardzo dobrym przybliżeniem.

Ożaglowanie bermudzkie

 Znajdujemy dwie środkowe trójkąta, będącego obrysem żagla.
 Przecięcia środkowych wyznacza SOż danego żagla.

Ożaglowanie gaflowe

 Wykreślamy przekątne żagla gaflowego, które dzielą go na cztery trójkątne powierzchnie.
 Wyznaczamy SOż dla każdego trójkąta, analogicznie jak w przypadku ożaglowania bermudzkiego.
 Łączymy prostymi punkty odpowiadające SOż powierzchni trójkątnych leżących naprzeciwko siebie.
 Punkt przecięcia prostych wyznacza SOż żagla gaflowego

Wyznaczanie środka ożaglowania dla dwóch żagli

 Wyznaczamy SOż dla każdego żagla osobno
 Łączymy punkty odpowiadające SOż linią prostą
 Rysujemy proste prostopadłe do wykreślonej w kroku poprzednim i przechodzące przez punkty odpowiadające SOż
 Odkładamy na każdej prostej równo odległe odcinki w ilości odpowiadającej powierzchni żagla innego niż rozpatrywany
 Łączymy ostatnie odcinki prostą
 Przecięcie wykreślonej prostej z prostą łączącą SOż poszczególnych żagli jest SOż układu dwóch żagli

W przypadku ilości żagli większej niż dwa postępujemy w sposób analogiczny. W pierwszym etapie wyznaczamy SOż dwóch sąsiednich żagli (np. grota i foka). Następnie z uzyskanego SOż układu dwóch żagli i SOż żagla trzeciego (np. bezana) wyznaczamy wypadkowy SOż dla układu trzech żagli (foka, grota i bezana).

Metoda ta nie uwzględnia różnicy w wydajności wytwarzania siły aerodynamicznej na żaglach różnego typu. Żagle przednie, które pozbawione są masztu i bomu są znacznie wydajniejsze ze względu na brak zaburzenia przepływu. Fakt ten jest uwzględniany przy bardziej skomplikowanych formułach obliczających położenie SOż.

Rzeczywisty SOż znajduje się bliżej dziobu w porównaniu z SOż geometrycznym, jednakże metoda opisana powyżej może z powodzeniem służyć konstruktorom jednostek żaglowych do ustalania równowagi kierunkowej jachtu. Jest tak ponieważ błąd podczas wyznaczania SOż kompensowany jest przez błąd popełniany podczas ustalania położenia środka bocznego oporu (SBO). Jak się powszechnie przyjmuje SBO leży w geometrycznym środku części kadłuba znajdującej się poniżej linii wodnej, nie uwzględnia się jednak również zanurzonej w wodzie płetwy sterowej, co sprawia, że błąd w wyznaczaniu SOż jest kompensowany.

Położenie SOż zależy od typu ożaglowania. W ogólności przyjmuje się, że w ożaglowaniu gaflowym SOż znajduje się niżej niż w przypadku marconi bermudzkiego. W rezultacie siła aerodynamiczna zaczepiona jest niżej, przez co krótsze jest ramię momentu przechylającego. Pozwala to na żeglowanie bez nadmiernych przechyłów przy silniejszych wiatrach.

Przesuwanie się środka ożaglowania
Środek ożaglowania podczas żeglugi ulega przesunięciu zarówno wzdłuż liku przedniego żagla, jak i dolnego. Położenie SOż zmienia się wraz ze zmianą kąta natarcia. Gdy kąt natarcia maleje, SOż przesuwa się w kierunku liku przedniego, natomiast gdy rośnie - w kierunku liku wolnego. Wynika to ze zmieniającego się rozkładu ciśnień po obu stronach żagla. Położenie SOż silnie zależy również od wybrzuszenia oraz smukłości. Pionowe przesuwanie się SOż (wzdłuż liku przedniego) obserwuje się przy silnych wiatrach, kiedy to dochodzi do dużego skrętu żagla. Wzajemnie położenie SOż oraz SOB decyduje o stateczności kierunkowej jednostki.
