"The great object of my fear is the federal judiciary. That body, like gravity, ever acting, with noiseless foot, and unalarming advance, gaining ground step by step, and holding what it gains, is ingulfing insidiously the special governments into the jaws of that which feeds them."

Brindisi (grčki: Brentèsion ili Vrindhision, latinski: Brundisium) je glavni grad i administrativno središte istoimene pokrajine Brindisi u regiji Apuliji (Puglia) s 91.800 stanovnika; smještena na obali Jadranskog mora, 110 km jugoistočno od Barija.

Brindisi je industrijsko i trgovačko središte s razvijenom kemijskom i prehrambenom industrijom, te proizvodnjom vina. Brindisi je važna talijanska luka za putnički promet s Grčkom i Bliskim Istokom, a ima i zračnu luku. Sjedište nadbiskupije.

Povijest

Legendarni osnivač grada je grčki mitološki junak Diomed. Postoje teorije da je prije dolaska Rimljana je na tom mjestu postojalo ilirsko naselje. Rimljani su osvojili prostor grada 267. pr. Kr. i razvili grad Brundisium koji je postao jedan od glavnih rimskih pomorskih i trgovačkih centara i glavna veza Rima s Grčkom. Od Rima do Brundisiuma je vodila jedna od najvažnijih rimskih cesta Via Appia. Stanovnici grada su imali rimsko građansko pravo. Smatra se da je Brundisium imao oko 100,000 stanovnika. U njemu je umro rimski pjesnik Vergilije. U Brindisiju je 38. pr. Kr. sklopljen mir između Marka Antonija i Oktavijana.

Nakon pada Rimskog Carstva su grad osvojili Ostrogoti. U 6. st. ga je obnovio Bizant, a 675. god. ponovo razorili Langobardi. Od 836. – 868. godine su Saraceni osnovali naselje u blizini grada. Kasnije su grad vratili Bizantinci, a 1071. su ga osvojili Normani i postao je dio Napuljskog Kraljevstva. Grad je bio dio Napuljskog Kraljevstva do ujedinjenja Italije u 18. st, iako je jedno vrijeme njim upravljala Venecija, Španjolska i Austrija.

Teško je razoren u potresu 1456. godine. Nakon otvaranja Sueskog kanala (1869.) postaje polazištem za promet s Indijom i Dalekim istokom. U I. svjetskom ratu postaje i vonjo pomorsko uporište, te je svoj vojni značaj zadržao do danas.

Zemljopis
Brindisi se nalazi na krajnjem jugoistoku Apeninskog poluotoka, točnije na malom poluotoku između Jadranskog mora i Jonskog mora. Nalazi se u blizini Otrantskih vrata, te je najbliži Albaniji i Grčkoj od svih većih talijanskih gradova. Zbog toga Brindisi ima vrlo povoljno prometno značenje. Iz grada polaze trajektne veze prema Grčkoj. To je najvažnija prometna veza Grčke s Italijom i zapadnom Europom.

Reljef je nizinski (Salentinska nizina). U središtu grada postoji zaljev u kojem je smještena luka. Grad je poznat po vinogradarstvu i proizvodnji vina. Veći gradovi u okolici su Bari (također značajna luka), Lecce i Taranto.

Znamenitosti
Najvažnija je tvrđava (Castello Svevo ili Castello Grande) koju je sagradio njemački car Fridrik II. Postoji i tvrđava Forte a Mare koja se nalazi na malom poluotoku na ulazu u luku. Postoje rimski stupovi koji su simbol grada. Označavali su početak ceste Via Appia koja je vodila do Rima. U gradu postoje mnoge crkve.

Recent research show that more energy from Sun hits the Earth in an hour than the amount of energy we consume in an entire year. That is in fact unimaginable amount of energy. It reminded me of how every IT organization is dealing with the amount, types and volumes of data and data assets that is coming in every hour with digital explosion. While organizations receive more data, it is becoming difficult to leverage insights from this data.
More and more business users are accessing data with self-service analytics tools. However they don't find the data assets they need. IT is finding it difficult to understand the lay of the land and to manage those assets. Why? This is because traditional data, or information catalog, has been mostly around data warehouses. And with data explosion, the scope has been suddenly grown between 10x and 1000x times.
Today, looking for the right data asset is like shopping in a crowded flea market that has tons and tons of stuff. Will you ever find what you are looking for?
What you need is a smart, intelligent, enterprise data catalog to help you manage and maximize the value and reuse of your data assets. It will automatically catalog all your data assets across the enterprise – scan metadata from on-premises, cloud, Hadoop data assets. Your business users should be able to find the data asset just the way you shop in an online store – simple search and browse to find the asset.
Quickly begin new, transformational projects such as moving to cloud, migrating applications and data, data governance.
Gain trust from business on data and data assets.
To learn more Informatica's Enterprise Data Catalog, join the webinar on April 5 @ 8.00am PST.


Conceived as an imaginary sanctuary in a warm, sunny climate, this design expanded on the simple and timeless idea that a wall, tree and seat, can create an intimate, sheltered and beautiful place of repose. The garden celebrated the expressive and sensual language of colour and texture, light and shadow, using flora from Mediterranean climates and roughly textured materials, such as rammed earth walling and reclaimed tiles.
The design composition pivoted around the branching forms of Pomegranate trees. Their rugged forms commanded space and attention and were reflected in the glassy surface of the large pool.
Tapestries of ground hugging, scented herbs; Thymus, Teucrium and Satureja punctuated taller, wispy, diaphanous flowers; Catananche caerulea 'Tizi n Test', Ridolfia segetum and Athamanta turbith. Many of the drought-tolerant plants such as Helichrysum orientale, Euphorbia spinosa and Dorycnium pentaphyllum are relatively hardy in the UK if sensibly sited and are suited to our warming climate.
All of the garden – including the rammed earth walls - were created insitu at the Chelsea showground. Realising this ambitious design would not have been possible without the exceptionally hardworking and creative team drawn together by Crocus.

Music Reviews | By Jonathan Zuckerman
Wilco: Star Wars
(Anti/Epitaph)
A new Wilco album is an event. At this point in their career they are one of the biggest American indie bands in the game. Fans anxiously await every release like it's a precious gift. That's why it was so surprising when they released their new album for free, online, with no prior marketing. It's also pretty surprising that they named it Star Wars. That title, the unorthodox promotion model, and the music that lies within could all probably be explained with, "It seemed like a fun idea."
Star Wars sounds like an album you decide to throw online one day. Which doesn't mean it's not good. This is Wilco we're talking about. It does seem much lighter and more carefree than labored epics like Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot though. No one is going to make a black and white documentary about the making of this album. It opens with a strange little instrumental called "EKG" and if I didn't already know it was Wilco I would've never guessed it. That track plus the next three songs sound like they were all recorded in one fun session. They have near identical instrumentation, including a really cool California fuzz guitar, and are all really catchy, upbeat pop-rock songs. After that, the songs get a little more diverse, but continue to fit the breezy feel of the album. "Taste the Ceiling" is a pretty country-rock ballad that would have fit on any Wilco album while "Pickled Giner" is garage rock deconstructed. At the end of the album there are two mid-tempo rockers that run together seamlessly followed by the sparse yet dreamy "Magnetized," a perfect closer. You're in and out in little over a half hour. It does come off a little like a B-sides collection, but it sounds like it was a blast to make. Plus making emotionally-charged masterpieces all the time can't be easy. On Star Wars, it's nice to hear them simply having a good time.

Gambia closes two private radio stations amid crisis
Main press union says move a threat to people's democratic right to information amid escalating political crisis.
President Yahya Jammeh shows his inked finger before voting in Banjul on December 1, 2016 [AP]
Gambian security forces have closed down two private radio stations based near the capital, Banjul, amid an escalating political crisis caused by President Yahya Jammeh's refusal to accept his election defeat.
Teranga FM and Hilltop Radio were closed on Sunday, said Emil Touray, head of the Gambia Press Union, on Monday.
Teranga's headquarters were shut down by a police officer and four members of the National Intelligence Agency, he said.
"It is a slap in the face of the country's democratic process," said Touray. "People will not have access to information in this critical period of our history."
A government spokesman said he could not confirm the closures.
READ MORE: Gambia troops take over electoral commission offices
It was not immediately clear why the two stations were targeted by Jammeh, under whose 22-year rule the media has come under regular attack, rights campaigners say.
Teranga FM, popular for its review of newspapers in the local Wolof and Mandinka languages, has been closed four times in recent years.
The station's managing director, Alagie Ceesay was arrested in July, 2015 and charged with sedition. He was hospitalised twice in early 2016 while still in detention, Amnesty International said, and later fled to neighbouring Senegal.
READ MORE: Amnesty accuses Gambia of brutal oppression
Jammeh, who seized power in a 1994 coup, initially conceded defeat to opposition rival Adama Barrow, but then called for fresh elections, drawing condemnation from local opponents and foreign powers.
The leader's refusal to step down has opened up the possibility of a military intervention by West African forces after the ECOWAS body said it was putting military forces on alert. Jammeh called that a "declaration of war".
Barrow's election victory was seen as a surprising triumph for democracy in The Gambia, which gained independence from Britain in 1965, but has since had only two presidents.
But the elation seen on the streets of Banjul in the days after Barrow's victory was quickly extinguished by Jammeh's defiant stance.

Wow. I'd be humbled by all this attention if my head wasn't larger than the rings of Saturn.


This collection gives fresh energy to conventions such as the celebration of the outlier, weird animals, and complaints about school and yucky foods. Creatures prone to puns comment on the poems from the bottom margin. Humorous black-and-white drawings add to the joyous mood. 138 pages.
Carson takes readers to three national parks — Yellowstone, Saguaro, and Great Smoky Mountains — to introduce a collection of scientists and researchers. Fascinating facts about the parks and supporting scientific information, along with arresting photographs, are interspersed. 75 pages.
In this companion to the 2008 Coretta Scott King Award winner and Newbery Honor Book Elijah of Buxton, set in 1901, thirteen-year-old African Canadian boy Benji Alston befriends Irish Canadian boy Alvin "Red" Stockard. The two encounter the (supposedly mythical) Madman of Piney Woods, who brings the past into present for both boys. 370 pages.
Left alone with his new baby brother, irrepressible Joey takes seriously his mother's admonition that he be "man of the house." His blind friend Olivia helps to care for Carter Junior — and fend off Joey's estranged (and unhinged) father's attempts to kidnap the baby. This series-ender shares the gleeful mixture of mayhem and pathos of the previous books. 154 pages.
Autistic eleven-year-old Rose's single father doesn't have the resources, material or emotional, to be a parent. Luckily, Rose has her supportive uncle Weldon, her soothing collection of homonyms, and her dog Rain — until Hurricane Susan, during which Rain disappears. 226 pages.

Jed the squirrel escapes a hawk (using an "ancient squirrel defensive martial art"). Meanwhile, Chai and TsTs set off to find him. The friends make it home only to face their biggest challenge: convincing their community to relocate before humans destroy their homes. Very silly; also thought-provoking. 260 pages.
Con man "Count Victor Lustig" (born Robert Miller) fleeced his way as a card shark back and forth across the Atlantic until WWI; went into a "money box" scam in Chicago; then returned to Europe for his greatest trick — taking a Parisian businessman's cash bid for the "salvage" of the Eiffel Tower. 48 pages.
Vivacious sisters Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern (One Crazy Summer, P. S. Be Eleven) visit their grandmother, Big Ma, and great-grandmother, Ma Charles, in Alabama. Delphine learns about her twisting family tree from those two spry old ladies, and from Ma Charles's half-sister Miss Trotter. When a tornado strikes, the entire Gaither family comes together. 291 pages.


In the October 1995 issue of North and South magazine, political scientist Joe Atkinson suggested that former Prime Minister David Lange had been too lazy to take on the difficult aspects of that job. The accompanying cartoon played with the article's suggestion that Lange suffered from 'false-memory syndrome' in his portrayal of himself as prime minister – as well as his comments about hotel breakfasts in New Zealand. Lange considered the article (and cartoon) to be defamatory and took Atkinson to court in 1996. After the case went through a series of courts, the Court of Appeal eventually decided that journalists had a defence of 'qualified privilege' – meaning that they could criticise politicians on the basis of their 'honest belief'. The findings in the case have given New Zealand media greater freedom to comment on the performance of politicians. Download the PDF to read Atkinson's article.


When we fall pregnant or plan to fall pregnant, it's often a time when we think about what our body needs from food, to ensure we are giving our baby (and ourselves) everything it needs.
I just gave birth to my second child and I'm still in awe at how responsive and finely tuned our bodies are. My main advice to any pregnant lady would be to listen to what your body needs, within reason! One day I returned home from work craving cheese. I took the cheddar out of the fridge and cut myself slice after slice. A week later, my husband, who would read to me about the baby's development by week, explained that this week the baby's bones were hardening! I'm not telling you to eat only burgers and ice cream but if you have those cravings maybe think about why? Are you getting enough calories? Enough fat? These can all come from healthy sources instead of pizza and other unhealthy take-out!
The first appointment with your OB will lead to advice on supplementing with folic acid – essential for prevention of neural tube defects at the start of pregnancy. Also iron, to help with blood production and growth of the baby. In the UK, they advise to supplement with Vitamin D (maybe due to the lack of sunshine!). Vitamin D helps build baby's bones and teeth. However, my experience of being pregnant in both countries was that not much emphasis was placed on the importance of DHA.
For those of you who haven't come across it before, DHA is an omega-3 essential fatty acid. I use the term 'essential' because the body can't make it, therefore it has to come from our diet – but unfortunately these omega-3's are severely lacking in the average US diet. So why is it so important during pregnancy? Well to begin with the fetus can't produce its own DHA, so must obtain this vital nutrient through the placenta and from breast milk following birth. DHA is essential for babies' optimal brain and eye development, and studies have also shown it to have a positive effect on infant eye-hand coordination, motor skills and attention span. I believe one day that it will become as mandatory as taking folic acid.
So where can you find this essential nutrient? Stock up on (low mercury) fish, a very rich source of DHA and other essential omega-3's. Herring, wild salmon, trout, sardines are loaded with it. Vegetarian? DHA is also highly abundant in algae – this is where those oily fish get theirs and their are a number of vegetarian DHA supplements on the market.
The recommended daily amount during pregnancy is 300 mg/day (or about the amount in one 4-ounce piece of wild salmon). While it's always best to get your nutrients from food sources, many women have poor appetites (and little taste for fish) during the first few months of pregnancy. If that's the case, we recommend Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA (http://www.nordicnaturals.com/en/Products/Product_Details/98/?ProdID=1434), which has 450 mg DHA per 2 soft gel serving.

One of the best things the UFC has going for it is the amount of young talent coming up the ranks.
Fighters are getting stronger, faster and younger each day as the sport of mixed martial arts continues to grow. As a result, the youth movement in the UFC has never been stronger.
Who are the top prospects and what are their qualifications? It's simple: Prospects must be 28 years old or younger and never held a world title.
Analysis: Is Joseph Benavidez still considered a prospect? He just barely fits the qualifications.
Benavidez is 28 years old and right on the cusp of winning his first world championship. After a six-month layoff, he will face Demetrious Johnson in the final of the UFC's flyweight tournament. Benavidez says he wants to become the George Washington of the new flyweight division, and he will be labeled the favorite.
This isn't the first title push for Benavidez. He's had two title shots before – against Dominick Cruz – and came up short both times. Perhaps a third title fight is a charm for Benavidez, who has been one of the top young and exciting fighters for a while.
Analysis: There is a lot to like about Erick Silva. He has a rare combination of size, length, skills and athleticism for a welterweight. He also goes for the finish. Eleven of his 15 victories are by knockout or submission.
We may never see another Anderson Silva, but Erick Silva is probably the closest thing. Erick Silva has a slick style, is dangerous everywhere and trains with Team Nogueira. It is hard for Erick Silva to avoid "The Spider" comparisons.
Silva gets a big test October 13 against longtime contender Jon Fitch (23-4-1) in Brazil. This fight could push Silva close to title contention in the welterweight division.
Analysis: "The Mauler" has won five in a row — and four of those came via submission or knockout. Few fighters have been as impressive in the past year as Gustafsson, who is viewed as the future at light heavyweight.
Gustafsson, with a little more seasoning, could eventually be a threat to 205-pound kingpin Jon Jones. Gustafsson has the length, aggressiveness and finishing ability to push Jones. But Gustafsson needs to face higher-level competition. He will get that on Dec. 8 against former light heavyweight champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. This will be a great test to determine where Gustafsson currently stands in the title picture.
Analysis: There are lofty expectations when you're called the "Next GSP." But so far, Rory MacDonald has lived up to the hype and is even more advanced in some areas than mentor George St. Pierre when he was MacDonald's age.
MacDonald is one of the first pure mixed martial artists. MacDonald came into the sport training everything and does not have a specialty or discipline. Therefore, he's not a "wrestler" or "striker" or "ju-jitsu" fighter. MacDonald is the first wave of hybrids that should mark a future trend in MMA.
MacDonald's only loss was to interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit. MacDonald will face another stiff test in future Hall of Famer B.J. Penn, who is coming out of retirement on Dec. 8.
Analysis: After Anderson Silva beat Chael Sonnen for a second time in July, there was little buzz of a legitimate challenger for Silva at middleweight. Then, Chris Weidman steamrolled Mark Munoz and stepped forward as the No. 1 contender.
Weidman is improving by leaps and bounds with every fight and has quickly jumped into title contention. Despite little experience, Weidman has already beaten solid fighters such as Munoz, Damian Maia and Alessio Sakara.
Is Weidman ready for Silva? Who knows? But Silva has cleaned out the middleweight division to the point where Weidman's immense potential at least makes for an intriguing fight.
Honorable mentions for top prospects: Johny Hendricks, 13-1, welterweight; Erik Koch, 13-1, featherweight; Chad Mendes, 12-1, featherweight; Phil Davis, 9-1, light heavyweight.
Check out HeavyMMA's top five UFC prospects, including Rory MacDonald, Alexander Gustafsson, and the three other fighters most likely to be champion one day.


The ties between page and stage are close and, often, surprising. Here are six books you can finish off with a visit to the theater this winter and spring.
Unlike those Gryffindor™ socks you got from your aunt, this 70-minute run through all seven Harry Potter books is decidedly unauthorized. Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner have been presenting parodic takes on the Wizarding World since 2005, when they assembled a five-minute series recap for readers waiting to buy Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Now Potted Potter is an epic stage show that tours the world.
Kate Hamill has a knack for giving renewed life to literary classics onstage; it's made her one of America's most frequently produced playwrights. Her superb new Little Women premiered last fall at the Jungle Theater, and if you missed her Sense and Sensibility at the Guthrie in 2016, Lyric Arts is giving you another opportunity to see this fresh take on the Dashwood sisters in one of Austen's most iconic stories.
Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, the musical duo behind Hairspray and Mary Poppins Returns, also wrote the songs for this 2013 adaptation of Roald Dahl's 1964 book. Yes, the song "Pure Imagination" was imported from the 1971 movie, but no, the creepy boat ride song wasn't. So you're safe, as long as you stay away from the blueberry bubblegum.
The Children's Theatre Company has an especially literary slant this season, including upcoming adaptations of Mr. Popper's Penguins, The Biggest Little House in the Forest, and Matilda. The most intriguing, though, is their premiere of Greg Banks' new Hobbit. With star Joy Dolo promising an Oprah-inspired Gandalf, this production should wash Peter Jackson's turgid trilogy from your mind.
Despite being a sci-fi pioneer, the 17th-century French writer Cyrano de Bergerac is ironically better known through a fictionalized story about him than for anything he actually wrote. Edmond Rostand's 1897 play has inspired countless adaptations of its own, including the Steve Martin vehicle Roxanne (1987) and the new Netflix movie Sierra Burgess Is a Loser. Read Cyrano's satirical adventure, then see Rostand's beguiling romance on the stage.
If you haven't dusted off Ovid's poem since it was assigned in school, stick it in your bathroom reading basket before you plunge into Mary Zimmerman's 1998 play. Inspired by Ovid's mythopoetic episodes, Metamorphoses is set in and around an onstage pond. One high school production used a kiddie pool, but the Guthrie will doubtless get a little more lavish.


Loren Lance (from the Mildred store) and David Marshall will be our Special Guests! Caleb and Rance McKenzie will be entertaining you for the Pre-show performance starting at 6:30pm!
Tickets are $10 for everyone age 13 and over and they are only available at the door. Our passion is providing you with enjoyable, quality entertainment that is family friendly!

What's Behind the Recent Softwood Lumber Cost Surge?
Certainly, another thing at play is the significant consolidation that has occurred in the lumber production industry over the past five years. Each year, fewer companies control more of North America's softwood lumber supply, which isn't a good thing for lumber consumers.
As overall consumption experiences a seasonal dip in the first quarter of 2018, lumber costs may finally experience a decrease.
SBCA will continue to monitor this situation and provide graphs and related analysis to its members in 2018.
A-1 Roof Trusses is extremely proud to announce that Ricardo Castro is now the new day shift production manager. Congratulation Rico, well deserved and definitely earned!!!

Q: Calculation of confidence interval for estimation of demand curve - how many degrees freedom? I'm trying to understand how uncertain an estimation of a demand distribution of a good is. If I take a random sample of n people from the representative consumer population who give me their personal cutoff/choke prices (assuming they accurately report them), I can construct a demand curve with n points representing an estimation of the proportion of the population who would buy the good at that price.
Given that I used n independent pieces of information to calculate n points, should I be using a t-distribution with 1 degree of freedom to calculate the confidence interval for each point? And, if I want to reduce this interval by increasing the degrees of freedom, I either need to take more samples, or increase the granularity of the demand curve to get more d.f. at each point?

A: You should use a $t$-distribution with $n-1$ degrees of freedom (or if $n$ is large the normal distribution which provides a good approximation to the $t$-distribution).  A larger sample, increasing $n$, would narrow the confidence interval both because it increases the degrees of freedom (although once $n$ increases beyond 30 this effect is quite small) and because it reduces the standard error.
For a given price the sample contains, say, $m$ people who would buy the good at that price. Thus the proportion of the population who would buy the good at that price can be estimated as $m/n$.  This applies to any price, not just to the $n$ cutoff prices given by the people in the sample. So you can calculate any number of points, taking a point to be identified by a price and its associated estimated proportion.
The number of points that are or could be calculated has no relevance to the degrees of freedom used in calculating a confidence interval for the proportion at any one price (the situation is quite different from a regression in which $n$ observations are used to jointly estimate $k$ parameters, implying $n-k$ degrees of freedom).  The degrees of freedom here depend only on the size $n$ of the sample used to estimate that proportion and its standard error, from which we deduct 1 because use of the same sample to estimate both the proportion and its standard error implies a loss of 1 degree of freedom.
The value of $t_{n-1}$ at the desired confidence level times the estimated standard error gives the half-width of the confidence interval.

Who (or what) killed rock and roll?
Like the old man in Bring Out Your Dead scene in Monty Python's Holy Grail, rock and roll continues to protest that it's not dead yet. But the number of ingrates willing to club it on the head, toss it on the cart, and wheel it out of town is mind-boggling. There are so many villains to this story, but I'm going to focus on those that appear in two story lines from last week.

Employee Performance Management: What is it?
Employee Performance Management includes a process for setting up a shared workforce understanding about what's to be accomplished at an organizational level. It's all about aligning the organizational goals with the workers' agreed skills, measures, development plans, competency requirements, and delivery of results. The focus is on learning, improvement, and development to accomplish the overall business plan and develope a high performance workforce.
Performance Management started about sixty years ago as an income source justification and was utilized to decide a worker's wage based upon performance. Organizations utilized Performance Management in order to drive behaviors from the workers to obtain certain results. In practice it worked well for specific workers who were only driven by financial rewards. But, where workers were driven by development of their skills and learning, it failed. The gap in between justification of pay and development of knowledge and skills became a big issue in using Performance Management.
Understanding that the Performance Management process is something which is done by line managers all throughout the year – it isn't a once off yearly event that is coordinated by a personnel department.
For more information on Employee Performance Management contact Engagedly at (650) 485-1642.

Is there some reason not to reuse the powder?
It having been wet may cause a change in burn rate.
How much I dont know, at the least it will clump into bigger bits.
The old English navy found that the burn rate on black powder increased dramatically if the powder was wet and then dried out.
As much as I hate to rate Mythbusters as a source of scientific fact they did a very good demo on the burn rate differences, the wet then dried powder was something like 5 x faster than the dry non wet powder.
Nitrocellulose is different but why take the chance?
Im pleased someone else asked.
personally I would reuse it if its good enough going in in should be good enough still I would have thought. plenty of people pull rounds to reuse the components.
If I know the components ARE good, I'll reuse them. But if anything is unknown (like what primer or powder is used) those components get recycled for non-ammo uses.
If I'm pulling because of misfires, everything but the metal gets recycled for non-ammo uses.
It's not just the potential risk of injury or damage, it's the risk of inaccuracy of the rounds when I'm spending thousands of dollars trying to get the best out of my rifle.
AMEN DJ...I agree totally mate.
If you are seeking perfection, using a component that you feel is less than perfect is a compromise at best.
Look at how many of us check our components, measure and weigh cases, ensure flash holes are exact, necks are measured and trimmed for precise and consistent grip of the projectile...check projectiles, weigh them, measure the dimensions and group projectiles of like size and weight, then carefully seat them to a precise distance off the lands...and all of this more often than not for hunting rounds. If I am not mistaken, DJFireman either shoots Bench Rest of 1000 yard target shooting...both of which demand precise, as close to perfect rounds as possible.
I am happy to recycle components, but then again I and a tight ars3...so long as I know them to be OK. The chance of water getting into a loaded round (unless submerged for some time) is fairly remote, so I will look at the powder and make a decision on it's viability. Having said that, I have never encountered this problem, but if recovered powder is obviously clumping because of moisture...out it goes, otherwise it goes into a clearly marked separate container (if there is a fair quantity of it) for future use. If it is only one or two rounds, the powder goes back into the container it came from, which is given a good shake to mix it well so any difference is pretty much negated.
You can just call me DJ.
And it's F/Class shooting in the F/TR class shooting up to 1000 yards with a .308.
My current rifle is a Rem700 Varmint with Wilddog tactical stock, Niko Sterling 10-50x60 scope and Harris bi-pod. Coming soon is a new trigger (Rifle Basix), a new sling (Tactical Interventions Slip Cuff detachable) and a new scope (Nightforce 5.5-22x56 NXS).
And thinking of building a new rifle for long range "fun (the calibre will exceed the max allowed for F/Class). Maybe a .375 Cheytac.
sounds like a good bunny gun.
I just started reloading for my AR.
I have never loaded .223 and picked up a set of Lee dies.
I have used Lee dies on pistol but never on rifle cartridges.
Right off the bat my brass got stuck in the sizing die.
Fixed that one up, and my next one got stuck.
On this, I have a bad feeling about the Lee die on rifle loads, and to top that off, I'm new to reloading .223.
I figure on tossing these Lee dies and getting a good set of Redding.
For me, better safe than sorry, and I'll take the loss of $30.00 to a sorry learning experience.
Just like you guys say, if you have a bad feeling, don't proceed.
I load .223 all the time. check you have the dies set up correctly ,most reloading manuals will tell you how, and make sure the lubing process is done corectly. that said check your brass out carefully as I use GI brass as I was given a sack full and some is great but the other type has loose primer pockets and will grab in the dies (I have redding that I was given) some of the brass has wierd extraction marks probly from being extracted under full auto conditions. also give the new dies a good clean there maybe some crap on the inside from sitting around on the shelf.
I shoot F/Class with it, but that's not all I do with it.
It has been used for hunting (and will again in the future).
Follow the instructions for setting up and lube the brass including the inside of the neck. I also polished the inside of the dies using a light abrasive metal polish, flitz.
Elyboy I have six sets of Lee rifle dies, no problems. I bet your lube procedures need looking into. You have to get the inside neck lubed and the outside, but not the shoulder area. The pistol dies are carbide and don't need to be lubed and maybe that's what you're used to, but the rifle dies have to be.
I use a smidgen of graphite powder to lube the insides of case necks, I have a small container of kiwi shoe polish that holds the graphite powder and dip the case ever so little into the graphite. Pencils also work great to wipe the inside of the neck also since the "lead" is graphite.
I tried the powder on the necks with no change.
Then, just for giggles, I sprayed some RemOil on the case, and it worked just fine. Smooth as silk.
Actually, this is kind of fun. Too many years trying out new loads, and everything going too smooth.
Now I have to figure if this is my fault, which is quite possible seeing that along with all of my pistols and a multitude of high powered rifles, I have never reloaded a light caliber round like the .223, or is it the die.
The one thing that does stick out, and I will ask all of you this, is that spraying on the RemOil everything worked just fine, but with the One Shot it got stuck again.
This shows a very tight tolerance in the full length resizing die to me.
Any thoughts would help, because Judy is going in for a 3 hour Pet Test in the morning, and only 2 miles of highway separates the waiting room and a fine gun shop with some Redding dies.
One thing that I haven't mentioned is that I am sizing once fired just tumbled Federal brass.
as the others have mentioned, have another look at your setup and lubrication process. That it didnt get stuck with Rem oil is a subtle hint.
I'd also pull it apart and have an optic at the insides to see if there are any rough bits or burrs.
As you're going to the gunshop, pickup some Imperial sizing die wax, best lube (for reloading) I've used, a little bit goes a very long way.
If your still having problems give Lee a call and see what they are prepared to do.
Good luck to your wife for the PET scan, I hope all goes well and they find nothing.

6 Dallas Innovators You Need To Know Today & Why "Dallas Innovates
Julie Gray September 28, 2021	International Logistics Leave a comment 12 Views
Factory Automated Logistics Market According to Covid-19 Impact Outlook to 2028
All over North Texas, companies are promoting and hiring people to fill leadership positions within their organizations.

Henry Clay --- The Great Compromiser who ran Most Americans seem to know little about this period let alone care to learn about it. Taney over slavery, secession, and Lincoln's constitutional war powers went to the heart of Lincoln's presidency. Calhoun and other slave holding Southerners as well as those sympathetic to them give us the language that we hear from the Tea Party and other Republicans today. There are many dramatic moments. Bordewich brings alive the passions and conflicts of these extraordinary men, who, along with President George Washington and Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, breathed life into the Constitution. Two things above all: a compelling story and a cast of characters who come convincingly to life.
He would greatly influence Abraham Lincoln. When you read this, you will be amazed at how important this event was in terms of American history and the future of our country. In his review, Post publisher Donald E. This book is a detailed but lively narrative of one of the least understood events in antebellum history. Bordewich's book is twice the size of Robert Remini's , probably the next best authority on this topic.
Fergus Bordewich tells the epic story of the Compromise of 1850 with skill and vigor, bringing to life two generations of senators who dominated the great debate. When I first saw the subtitle of this book, I hesitated. . Dissappointing The overall arc of the narrative is flat. Speaker of the House, senator, secretary of state, five-time presidential candidate, and idol to the young Abraham Lincoln, Henry Clay is captured in full at last in this rich and sweeping biography. The Compromise saved the Union from collapse, but it did so at a great cost.
While the author, Fergus Bordewich, focuses on the debates, he gives enough history of the preceding events such as the California gold rush which pushed the issue of California statehood, the Mexican American War which added great territory to the United States, and the lives and backgrounds of the Senators who led the debates Bordewich also cites heavily to the debates and original sources with An excellent history of the Senate debates in 1850 about slavery and America's territorial expansion. The South and West were to be reconstructed in the image of the North. The war with Mexico four years before had added 1. When Bordewich describes the congressmen Senate and House and also lets their speeches speak for themselves, we see that even the northerners were white supremacists with a few exceptions and the southerners were out and out racists. The Compromise saved the Union from collapse, but it did so at a great cost.
Rising stars such as Jefferson Davis, William Seward, and Stephen Douglaswho ultimately succeeded where Clay failedwould shape the countrys politics as slavery gradually fractured the nation. How would the newly acquired empire be governed? Up to then states had been admitted in pairs, one free and one slave, to preserve that tenuous balance in the Senate. The interests of the North and South are in great conflict as illustrated by the many speeches, changing landscape and fiery speeches. In the Senate there were both proslavery and antislavery Whigs and Democrats and slave owners who were Unionists. But was the compromise a major political achievement? The Mexican War introduced vast new territories into the United States, among them California and the present-day Southwest. Douglas, and the Compromise That Preserved the Union, which won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in history. Bringing law and order to territories won in the Mexican War would upset the balance of power between North and South crafted in the Missouri Compromise of 1820, seriously threatening to dissolve the Union.
The Compromise saved the Union from collapse, but it did so at a great cost. In July, Taylor died of what was probably acute gastroenteritis, brought on by eating contaminated food on the Fourth. So began a paralyzing crisis in American government, and the longest debate in Senate history. How would the question of slavery be handled, especially when the territory of California requested entry into the Union as a free state? But this would have upset the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had defined the limits of slavery in the territories. While the author, Fergus Bordewich, focuses on the debates, he gives enough history of the preceding events such as the California gold rush which pushed the issue of California statehood, the Mexican American War which added great territory to the United States, and the lives and backgrounds of the Senators who led the debates Bordewich also cites heavily to the debates and original sources within a compelling well written narrative--which means that it is as readable as a novel but also lets the reader come to different conclusions than Bordewhich.
The issue, of course, was slavery or, more precisely, the expansion of slavery. He refused to campaign at all or to express views on perennial issues. No apologist for slavery, he is an independent voice in the raucous legislative debate. This would have violated the tenuous balance of free vs. Had the Compromise of 1850 failed, and the Civil War actually started in 1850 instead of 1861, the South may very well have won, and who knows what the result would have been as far as the development of the United States is concerned.
Their colleagues wallowed in fustian and threats: Henry Foote of Mississippi drew a pistol on Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri on the Senate floor; but after a full dose of Benton, who could blame him? He has been an independent writer and historian since the early 1970s. Wholly enjoyable study of an earlier era of intense political partisanship. I have read well over 100 books on this period of time in our history. Mexico, the loser whose land the United States had ingested, had abolished slavery, but Texas, a slave state, claimed a vast hinterland as far west as Santa Fe. Talk of secession was only slightly muted. If you like history, I'm betting you will love this book.
Despite being a Louisiana plantation owner, he wanted to put California on a fast track to statehood as a free state. Senate was precariously balanced with fifteen free states and fifteen slave states. Had it failed - as many at the time feared it would - it's possible that the United States as we know it would not exist today. Focused laser-like on the Compromise of 1850, the crux of the controversy is over what to do with territories recently acquired from the Mexican-American War. The Mexican War introduced vast new territories into the United States, including California and the present-day Southwest. Download and start listening now! So began a paralyzing crisis in American government, and the longest debate in Senate history. It serves as gripping drama as well as a study of an important time in American history.
Bordewich asserts that in 1850, they were right but by 1860, the people in the North were simply fed up with the Southern aristocracy and their treason toward their country. Southerns willing to buck their home state's sentiments to keep the Union in tact, but it's hard not to see them all very flawed men. The gulf between North and South over slavery widened with the strengthened Fugitive Slave Law that was part of the complex Compromise. In some ways, it's not all that different in today's Washington. Like many abolitionists a label he would have loathed to be applied to himself -William Seward and William Lloyd Garrison aside-he is shown to have little belief in racial equality, expressing this by serving as a leader in the effort to colonize Africa with eventually freed slaves.

Q: How to save a file in a folder within a S3 bucket using Flask? I try to save images in a folder within my s3 bucket, but it always save within the root of the bucket, not the folder. Here is what my code looks like:
s3 = boto3.client(
"s3",
aws_access_key_id = Config.S3_ACCESS_KEY,
aws_secret_access_key = Config.S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
)

def upload_file_to_s3(file, acl="public-read"):
try:
    s3.upload_fileobj(
        file,
        Config.S3_BUCKET,
        file.filename,
        ExtraArgs={
            "ACL": acl,
            "ContentType": file.content_type
        }
    )

except Exception as e:
    print("Something happened: ", e)
    return e

return f"{ Config.S3_DOMAIN }profiles_name/{ file.filename }"

Profiles_name is the name of the folder. How to do I achieve this?

A: It should work for you:
s3.upload_fileobj(
        file,
        Config.S3_BUCKET,
        f"path/to/folder/within/bucket/{file.filename}",
        ExtraArgs={

Hyundai Kona Electric, Ram 1500, Genesis G70 win North American Utility, Truck, Car of the Year
After hundreds of hours of test drives, research and evaluation by independent jurors, the Hyundai Kona/Kona EV, Genesis G70, and Ram 1500 were revealed as the winners of the 2019 North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year (NACTOY) awards presented today at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Chosen by a panel of 54 respected jurors from print, online, radio and broadcast media across the U.S. and Canada – rather than a single publication or media outlet – the awards are among the most prestigious and unique in the industry.
Jurors voted on the finalists based on segment leadership, innovation, design, safety, handling, driver satisfaction and value for the dollar. The process began in June 2018 by determining vehicle eligibility and included three rounds of voting.
Votes were tallied confidentially by Deloitte LLP and remained secret until envelopes were unsealed on stage by NACTOY officers: President Lauren Fix, Vice President Chris Paukert and Secretary-Treasurer Kirk Bell at Cobo Center in Detroit.
Today's winners were chosen from the following nine finalists:
Car of the Year Utility Vehicle of the Year Truck of the Year
Genesis G70 Acura RDX Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Honda Insight Hyundai Kona/Kona EV GMC Sierra 1500
Volvo S60/V60 Jaguar I-Pace Ram 1500
Utility Vehicle of the Year
The fierce competition among finalists in the utility category reflects the vehicle's increasing popularity among U.S. consumers. Jurors decided the Hyundai Kona/Kona EV emerged atop the other 20 models eligible in the category this year.
"The Kona Electric is the first mass-market electric car that truly works for the mass market," said Jamie Page Deaton, executive editor at U.S. News & World Report Best Cars. "A livable EV range, affordable price and practical cabin combine with lively driving dynamics to make the Kona EV a true pleasure. It's the kind of EV that could convince the most ardent EV-skeptic."
This year's car category was extremely competitive – some jurors said the unique features, technological advancements and innovative designs of the three finalists made any of them worthy winners. When the ballots were counted, though, jurors selected the Genesis G70 as the car that stood out among its competition.
"The Genesis G70 doesn't just go toe-to-toe with segment mainstays like the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class – it beats them all in driver engagement while positively slaying them on value for the dollar," said Paukert, who is also executive editor of Roadshow by CNET. "No longer just a value play, it's the real deal."
Truck of the Year
The truck category pitted the Ram 1500 against two pickups from General Motors – the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the GMC Sierra 1500. Jurors selected the Ram 1500 as the winner.
"Ram continues to lead the way in making a big truck double as a big family pleaser with as much attention paid to interior conveniences and ride comfort as to cargo hauling and towing," said John Davis, executive producer at MotorWeek.

The 2000 winner of the Goscinny Prize for outstanding graphic novel script, this is the harrowing tale of the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda, as seen through the eyes of a boy named Deogratias.
He is an ordinary teenager, in love with a girl named Bénigne, but Deogratias is a Hutu and Bénigne is a Tutsi who dies in the genocide, and Deogratias himself plays a part in her death. As the story circles around but never depicts the terror and brutality of an entire country descending into violence, we watch Deogratias in his pursuit of Bénigne, and we see his grief and descent into madness following her death, as he comes to believe he is a dog.
Told with great artistry and intelligence, this book offers a window into a dark chapter of recent human history and exposes the West's role in the tragedy. Stassen's interweaving of the aftermath of the genocide and the events leading up to it heightens the impact of the horror, giving powerful expression to the unspeakable, indescribable experience of ordinary Hutus caught up in the violence. Difficult, beautiful, honest, and heartbreaking, this is a major work by a masterful artist.
"While Stassen's simple layout and spare images may appear static at first, the uncluttered art, reminiscent of jewel-toned woodcuts, serves to underscore the erupting brutality... the importance of the story and the heartbreaking beauty of its presentation make it an essential purchase. (Graphic novel. YA)" —Kirkus, starred review
" The lucid, sometimes-painful imagery—depicted in intense colors, with highly expressive faces—accompanying this story illustrates the ways in which the hierarchies besetting race and ethnicity, imposed by the sociopolitical climate, all come to bear on the decisions made by the characters...A graphic novel of regret riddled with inescapable grief, capturing attention from the outset, with a stinging and near-to-cathartic ending." —Kirkus
"...this book vividly shows the power of fiction to introduce fact." —Booklist
" Stassen is a journalist who lives in Rwanda, and his art is bold and clear, using different color palettes to seamlessly shift between before and after. There is no catharsis, only the realization that even justice turns its champion into a monster.
" A masterful work with vibrant, confident art, this book will stay with and haunt its readers," —Jennifer Feigelman, Goshen Public Library and Historical Society, NY , School Library Journal
" This graphic novel's worldview is bleak: Deogratias is a tale with no heroes. The full-color art can be both brutal and beautiful, and is extremely effective. " —George Galuschak, YA Libn., Montvale PL, Montvale, NJ, KLIATT
"The lust, saturated beauty of Stassen's artwork provides a stark contrast with the brutal world he's recording." —BookPage
" The natural world is turned upside down in this book, the subject matter brutal. Deogratias is worth a look, especially for readers who wonder about the literary value of graphic novels." —Michigan Reading Journal
