COVID mRNA Vaccine Damage Irreversible? Hesitancy is Widespread, Even Among Medical Professionals
November 26, 2020 TLB Staff GOVERNMENT, HEALTH 0
ER Editor: First, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. explains why damage from the mRNA vaccine may be an irreversible process not amenable to any kind of treatment. Vaccine damage involving traditional vaccines with toxic adjuvants usually requires the patient to undergo some sort of detoxification process, but this will no longer be an effective treatment option should the new mRNA vaccine go wrong.
Then we look at the growing trend of vaccine hesitancy, especially among medical professionals. Likely they are aware of exactly what Kennedy is warning against in relation to mRNA (gene-altering) vaccines.
However, rushed-out vaccines using any kind of vaccine technology are of course problematic.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr: COVID19 Vaccine Should Be Avoided At All Cost
Robert F. Kennedy Jr
I would like to draw your attention urgently to important issues related to the next Covid-19 vaccination. For the first time in the history of vaccination, the so-called last generation mRNA vaccines intervene directly in the genetic material of the patient and therefore alter the individual genetic material, which represents the genetic manipulation, something that was already forbidden and until then considered criminal.
This intervention can be compared to genetically manipulated food, which is also highly controversial. Even if the media and politicians currently trivialize the problem and even stupidly call for a new type of vaccine to return to normality, this vaccination is problematic in terms of health, morality and ethics, and also in terms of genetic damage that, unlike the damage caused by previous vaccines, will be irreversible and irreparable.
Dear patients, after an unprecedented mRNA vaccine, you will no longer be able to treat the vaccine symptoms in a complementary way. They will have to live with the consequences, because they can no longer be cured simply by removing toxins from the human body, just as a person with a genetic defect like Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, genetic cardiac arrest, hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, Rett syndrome, etc.), because the genetic defect is forever!
This means clearly: if a vaccination symptom develops after an mRNA vaccination, neither I nor any other therapist can help you, because the damage caused by the vaccination will be genetically irreversible. In my opinion, these new vaccines represent a crime against humanity that has never been committed in such a big way in history. As Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, an experienced doctor, said: In fact, this "promising vaccine" for the vast majority of people should be FORBIDDEN, because it is genetic manipulation! "
(ER: See the FB link to this excerpt – No Jab No Pay No Way – Freedom of Choice)
The vaccine, developed and endorsed by Anthony Fauci and funded by Bill Gates, uses experimental mRNA technology. Three of the 15 human guinea pigs (20%) experienced a "serious adverse event".
Note: messenger RNA or mRNA is the ribonucleic acid that transfers the genetic code of the DNA of the cell nucleus to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, that is, the one that determines the order in which the amino acids of a protein bind and act as a mold or pattern for the synthesis of that protein.
ER Editor: We're inserting here a footnote to a Lockdown Sceptics' piece from today titled Oxford Vaccine To Undergo Extra Trial. which is worth reading for its discussion of how the Astra Zeneca vaccine has largely failed, as further, unplanned trials now need to be carried out. The footnote to the piece discusses vaccine hesitancy in UK medical personnel:
Stop Press: A poll has found that almost half of doctors would not take a rushed Covid vaccine. A poll of readers of Medscape UK found that of 308 UK doctors, 4 in 10 would not get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as one is approved by the MHRA. Medscape has the details.
Online polling took place 18th-23rd November after the positive Pfizer/BioNTech results but with most responses received before the positive news about the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine.
Of those who wouldn't have the jab at this stage:
– 56% cited safety concerns
– 27% would rather wait
– 7% mentioned personal health reasons
– 14% had other reasons
Overall, 59% said vaccination for healthcare staff should not be compulsory. Among those who wouldn't have the jab at this stage, nine out of 10 were against compulsory staff vaccination.
COVID Vaccine Hesitancy Widespread, Even Among Medical Professionals
JEREMY LOFFREDO
Public health groups, including the World Health Organization, are making a concerted effort to reduce COVID vaccine hesitancy, as many medical professionals and minority groups remain doubtful about safety and efficacy.
As details on the latest COVID vaccine contenders flood the news cycle on a daily basis, reports of concerns regarding the safety and efficacy of the vaccine are widespread among many demographics, even including the professional medical community.
As vaccine hesitancy grows, agencies including the World Health Organization (WHO) are stepping up efforts to build vaccine confidence through public relations and communications campaigns.
Surveys reveal vaccine hesitancy
Researchers from the University of California Los Angeles' Karin Fielding School of Public Health surveyed healthcare personnel working in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. As the Washington Post reported, they found that two thirds (66.5%) of healthcare workers "intend to delay vaccination," meaning they do not intend to get the COVID vaccine when it becomes available. They plan instead on reviewing the data once it's widely administered and proven safe.
Seventy-six percent of the vaccine-hesitant healthcare workers cited the "fast-tracked vaccine development" as a primary reason for their concerns. Typically, vaccines take between eight to 10 years to develop, Dr. Emily Erbelding, an infectious disease expert at National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN in an article titled, "The timetable for a coronavirus vaccine is 18 months. Experts say that's risky."
The coronavirus vaccine frontrunners — Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca — are expected to make their debut in January. The pharmaceutical giants have exponentially accelerated the average safety and review timeline for vaccine development and production, to get the vaccines to market in under a year. Erbelding admitted that the accelerated pace will involve "not looking at all the data."
Susan Bailey, president of the American Medical Association, said in a video that the number of physicians expressing hesitancy was "unprecedented" and "posed a real risk" to public confidence in vaccines.
A recent Gallup poll showed that only 58% of Americans plan on getting the COVID vaccine when it's available. An October poll conducted by Zogby found that nearly 50% of Americans have concerns about the safety of the coming COVID vaccines.
A new collaborative survey project by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Langer Research found that Black and Latinx Americans are overwhelmingly concerned about the coming COVID vaccine.
The survey, as reported in the Washington post, claims to be "one of the largest and most rigorous conducted on this topic to date." It found that only 14% of Black Americans trust that a vaccine will be safe, while only 34% of Latino Americans trust it will be safe.
The survey also found, in the context of COVID, only 19% percent of Black Americans trust drug companies, while less than a third trust the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to "look after their interests."
According to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a group of medical experts who advise the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fears surrounding the painful or harmful side-effects of the COVID vaccine are rooted in reality.
According to CNBC, during a virtual Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices' meeting on Nov. 23, Dr. Sandra Fryhofer told fellow CDC officials that patients need to be aware that the side effects from the COVID vaccines "will not be a walk in the park." Fryhofer acknowledged that side effects from the vaccines have been reported to mimic symptoms of a mild case of COVID, including muscle pain, fever, chills and headache.
Fryhofer, who explained that both Pfizer's and Moderna's COVID vaccines require two doses, worries that her patients might not come back for a second dose after experiencing potentially unpleasant side effects after the first shot.
As a participant of the Moderna vaccine trials noted "it was the sickest I've ever been."
Health officials try to combat vaccine hesitancy
Despite this, officials at the forefront of the COVID response plan to combat vaccine safety concerns and hesitancy using what some are calling questionable psychological techniques.
For example, the WHO, which named "vaccine hesitancy" as the top global public health threat, has hired the PR firm Hill + Knowlton to identify micro-influencers, macro-influencers and "hidden heroes" on social media who could covertly promote the organization's image as a COVID authority in order to "ensure WHO's advice and guidance is followed."
Cass Sunstein, the chairman of WHO's Technical Advisory Group on Behavioral Insights, recently wrote an article in Bloomberg in which he promoted the use of popular celebrities, athletes and actors as tools for vaccine persuasion against those who "lack vaccine confidence."
"Trusted politicians, athletes or actors — thought to be 'one of us' rather than 'one of them' — might explicitly endorse vaccination and report that they themselves have gotten the vaccine," Sunstein wrote.
Then there's the "Guide to COVID-19 Vaccine Communications," developed by the University of Florida and the United Nations that aims to help governments improve COVID vaccine uptake. The authors of the guide promote the tactic of covertly using trusted community leaders to help with pro-vaccine information.
Citing vaccine hesitancy among the African American community, the guide suggests that barber shops and hair salons in predominantly black neighborhoods might be tapped to help disseminate approved vaccine messaging.

Nantwich Town manager David Cooke is hoping the signing of former Stoke City striker Ricardo Fuller will give his team the edge in the promotion stakes.
The Dabbers are sitting fourth in the Evo-Stik Premier Division, just three points behind leaders South Shields, and with two places in the National League North up for grabs at the end of the season, Cooke believes Fuller can provide the firepower to keep his team in the hunt.
Fuller agreed terms with the club at the end of last week and would have been included in the squad for last weekend's game at Buxton, but due to the amount of snow in the Derbyshire town the match was postponed.
Next up is Matlock Town away on Saturday and Cooke says Fuller will be part of his match day squad.
"Ric will be part of the squad on Saturday and is likely to figure at some stage," said Cooke who has been looking to secure the deal over the past few weeks.
He explained: "I met with Ric a while ago, but he was in Jamaica during December and the early part of January so I had to wait for him to return so we could sit down and talk terms.
"Ric kept in touch via text messages, he wanted to know how we were getting on, so when he returned I met with him, made him an offer and he agreed, so I'm delighted we have got it all sorted," said Cooke who was impressed with the striker's attitude during training on Tuesday night.
Cooke has also been impressed by the fitness of the 39-year-old. He added: "He's not at Nantwich Town just to keep himself fit. He wants to play football and is still in very good shape," insisted the manager.
Fuller is still a darling of the Boothen End after helping Stoke win promotion to the Premier League in 2008, then establish the club back in the top flight.
He built a catalogue of incredible goals as Tony Pulis's talisman and he has still been going to games as a fan this season - and he had a chat with new boss Nathan Jones before he took the reins, with the pair having got to know each other while at Charlton Athletic.
And Cooke is hoping a few Stoke fans who remember watching Fuller during his golden years with the Potters, will come and take a look at the club's new striker.
Nantwich have a decent fan base, a crowd of just under 1,000 turned up to watch their game against Witton Albion on New Year's Day, and Cooke is hoping Fuller's arrival at the Weaver Stadium will put a few more bums on seats.
"It would be nice if a few Stoke fans who don't travel to away games will come down and have a look. Ric had a fantastic time at Stoke and is still fondly remembered by their fans.
There has already been a positive response from Stoke fans on social media to Fuller's appointment at Nantwich.
"So who's going to watch Nantwich Town then?" asks SCFC82.
Fuller made 208 appearances for the Potters, scoring 50 goals from 2006 to 2012.
Meanwhile, Nantwich Town will take on Chester FC in the quarter-finals of the Cheshire Senior Cup at the Weaver Stadium on Tuesday, February 12 (7.45pm).

Jewiss bags double pole and double podium at Silverstone
Kiern Jewiss continued his strong recent form at Silverstone this past weekend as he secured double pole position and two trips to the podiums in the penultimate round of the 2019 BRDC British Formula 3 Championship.
Kicking off the weekend at Silverstone with the round's qualifying session, Kiern was instantly in the battle for pole position and at the halfway point in the session, he sat in third place – just 0.006-seconds behind Sasakorn Chaimongkol.
As the chequered flag dropped for the end of the session, Kiern was on a flyer and setting the timing boards alight. As Kiern crossed the finishing line, his rapid final attempt saw him secure pole position with a blistering time of 1:55.845 – setting a new BRDC F3 lap record at Silverstone.
Not only did Kiern secure pole position for the first race of the weekend but his second fastest lap time was enough for pole position in race three of the weekend – with Kiern becoming only the third driver this season to secure double positions.
"It was a good qualifying session, the car was amazing and the team did a great job," Kiern said. "I'm very happy and what a way to do it with a double pole, and hopefully we can convert that into a win later on.
"On the out lap I always get a really good feel for what the car is going to be like when I do start pushing. It felt good so I had a bit of confidence straight away and I was fast. When the rain kind of cooled everything down it gave us one last chance to really go for it."
Race One
With Kiern on pole position for the first time this season and Sasakorn Chaimongkol alongside him on the front row, the pressure was on for the British driver to get a good start. Getting off the line cleanly, Kiern came across to defend from his competitor but Chaimongkol got a slightly better launch and was able to get down the inside of Kiern heading into turn one.
Trying to hang on around the outside, Kiern eventually yielded the position and set about in trying to gain the position back. Putting his head down, Kiern was tight on the gearbox of Chaimongkol and was setting consistent lap times as he aimed to pull in the race leader and pull away from third-place Jonathan Hoggard.
Coming within metres of the race lead, Kiern unfortunately couldn't get close enough to pass and had to settle for second place – making it back-to-back podium finishes for the second time in 2019.
"It was always going to be tough, and I would have liked to have got a better start and that's where he got me – he got a slightly better launch and perhaps the inside had a bit more grip," Kiern said. "It was a good race and a good amount of points and I'll take it.
"I tried to get him on those last few laps but he just had that edge on me. But I'm looking forward to the next two races – they should be good."
Race Two
Sunday's action at Silverstone saw rain clouds gather above the Northamptonshire-based circuit and ten minutes before the reverse grid race began, rain fell making wet tyres the choice for the field.
Starting the reverse grid race from way back in 15th place, Kiern got off to a rapid start in tricky conditions and carved his way through to 11th place by the end of the first lap.
Continuing the momentum, Kiern was setting rapid lap times and by lap five was up into ninth place and looking to continue to progress through the field.
However, as conditions changed and the sun began to clear the water on the track, Kiern's pace began to drop and he wasn't able to maintain the rapid progress he had shown earlier in the race.
Crossing the finishing line ninth on the road, Kiern was later promoted to eighth place (due to post-race penalties) and added more important points to his championship tally in what was his best reverse grid race result of the season.
"The pace in the wet was really strong and we were flying our way up the order! To be honest, we could have done with it staying wet as when the track began to dry the car started to struggle. Overall though, we gained a handful of positions and more points which is key."
Kiern Jewiss (GBR) Douglas Motorsport BRDC F3
Race Three
Starting on pole for the third and final race of the weekend at Silverstone, Kiern again got a clean getaway off the line but had to yield to the second-place starting driver who had got down the inside into Copse.
As the two fought hard for the lead of the race, the Douglas Motorsport driver was rapid through the high-speed corners but couldn't get close enough to his rival on the straights to launch an attack into the braking zones.
Staying within a second of the race leader the entire race, Kiern eventually had to settle for second place as he crossed the finishing line half a second behind Simmons to mark his fourth trip to the podium in six races – highlighting the Douglas Motorsport driver's strong recent run of form.
"Through the corners we were close with him but on the straights he pulled away. He was probably running less downforce than us but I was fast all through the first sector and all the corners, but as soon as we got to a straight he was able to drive away, so I just couldn't do anything. But at the end of the day we need to sort the start, I'd done the hard bit by putting the car on pole but it's not acceptable and I shouldn't be losing it off the line. The starts have been very good up to this weekend and it needs to be sorted.
"The performance is there but I need to sort the easy part, it's not acceptable from my side and needs to be sorted. My starts have cost me two victories this weekend."
With the season finale taking place at Donington Park on the weekend of 14-15 September, Kiern is mathematically still in the championship fight and currently sits fourth in the standings – 45 points behind third-place Simmons, with just three races to go.

This study examines the extent to which the educational component of the 1996 Welfare Reform Act impacted African-American TANF recipients' access to postsecondary education in Jackson, Mississippi in 2011.
This study was based on the premise that policies within the legislation restrict opportunities for welfare recipients to pursue postsecondary education as a pathway to self-sufficiency. For welfare recipients who often believe that college is inaccessible due to financial means, access is especially important for them. Participants in this study were thirty-two African-American women receiving TANF benefits from the State of Mississippi who were either enrolled in a college program or participated in the job readiness training supported by the Mississippi Department of Human Services. A qualitative research methodology was used to analyze the data. The data revealed that there is total consensus among the participants on the importance of postsecondaryeducation as a measure of future economic well-being for themselves and their families. Findings specifically revealed that many of the participants strongly believe that policies associated with welfare reform have prevented or denied them full access to education and that some of the policies should be changed.
The conclusions drawn from the findings suggest that the 1996 Welfare Act impacted access to postsecondary education for TANF recipients in Jackson, Mississippi to some degree; and that after 15 years of stagnated welfare reform policies, specifically policies associated with work requirements, TANF recipients in Mississippi are longing for better educational opportunities that will allow them to enjoy a self-sustaining lifestyle.

The US Military Doesn't Need a Ban to Kick Out Trans Soldiers
Rachel Waverly, a former soldier who believes her discharge from the military was based on issues surrounding her gender identity, shares her story.
by Broadly Staff
November 28, 2017, 4:23pm
Transgender soldiers in the US military are facing an uncertain future under President Trump. This August, Broadly spent time with Rachel Waverly, a former solider who believes her discharge was based on issues surrounding her gender identity. Broadly host Diana Tourjee traveled to Texas on the morning of Rachel's discharge to investigate her claim. Tourjee reviewed medical documents, spoke with other trans service members who know Rachel, and received a 35-page memorandum from Rachel's lawyer outlining the illegality of Rachel's discharge. According to her lawyer, Rachel's discharge was "an act of subterfuge" by the military in order to get rid of Rachel because she is transgender. Even though Rachel's dismissal was in motion months before Trump's proposed ban was announced, her story highlights how current military bureaucracy makes it easy to get rid of anyone deemed "unwanted" by the military—with or without an official ban.

Before I fall in love with running, trekking has been my first outdoor passion. So, we began buying trek bags that could be used comfortably and to house our stuffs for a few days' climb. But, since I don't have trekking shoes, the last climb was a big challenge. So, my trekking basics now include trekking shoes from Merell and Sandugo and dry - fit pants and tops. You don't have to buy the expensive ones to get quality, you can check online or offline for trekking stores. If you are lucky, you can even find ones for your family's other passion and / or your home including some fancy oak switch plates to boost.
Remember that your trekking should be fun and comfy, so, pack light and wear comfy clothes to protect you from insect bites, thorns, heat, and / or cold.
Have a fun and safe trek!

Not only that, but you can actually protect your deck from further damage. Before you move forward with installing outdoor tile over a wood deck, however, you need to consider a few things to make certain your deck is up for the job. Before installing outdoor tile over wood deck, assess the current condition.
Cement board manufacturers pretty much all restrict their materials from being installed directly to any plank material. So yes, a layer of plywood is appropriate over the existing deck boards and under the cement board. There are tile-on membranes that can go right over the plywood.
Many of these projects include upgrading an exterior balcony, patio or A growing trend is turning previously unusable outdoor living space into an oasis complete with tile, torches and plenty of smiles.
Spread exterior tile adhesive along the vertical edges of the deck. Press the tiles into the adhesive, lining up the edges of these tiles with the horizontal tiles already installed. Insert spacers between them to ensure proper spacing.

Singapore Bans Possession of 3D Gun Blueprints
Published January 7, 2021 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Gun Politics, Guns
On January 5, 2021, Singapore's Parliament passed Bill No. 44/2020, Guns, Explosives, and Weapons Control Bill, which makes possession of 3D gun blueprints a criminal offence without a licence.
The legislative change is designed to stop unauthorized 3D printing of "major" gun parts but does not apply to accessories that can be fitted to a firearm, such as flash suppressors, silencers or a host of other items.
Bill No. 44/2020 replaces the former Arms and Explosives Act, which already required individuals or companies involved in importing, selling or building firearms and explosives to be licensed, and already included printing 3D firearms.
Unauthorised possession of digital blueprints for manufacture of guns, etc.
13.—(1) A person commits an offence if —
(a) the person possesses a digital blueprint for the manufacture of a gun or a major part of a gun on a 3D printer or on an electronic milling machine; and
(b) the person is not one of the following:
(i) a person granted a licence to manufacture the gun or major part of a gun using a 3D printer or on an electronic milling machine;
(ii) a person exempt from this section under section 87, 88 or 89 in relation to that manufacture of the gun or major part of a gun.
Individuals convicted under this new section face a maximum of 12 months in prison, a maximum fine of $10,000, or both. For repeat offenders those penalties jump to 18 months and $25,000, respectively.
Corporate entities convicted under this new section face a maximum fine of $25,000, which doubles for repeat offenders.
Desmond Tan, Singapore's Minister of State for Home Affairs, when asked how this legislation would be enforced, said the police would rely on tips from the public to identify "potential lone wolves 3D printing guns illegally with intent to cause harm."
Why bother passing a law nobody really intends to enforce?
For the same reason so many useless laws are passed in legislatures around the world – so politicians can dutifully report they've "done something" to keep the sheep safe.
Australia's state of New South Wales criminalized the unauthorized possession of 3D firearm blueprints in 2015, and in late 2019 U.S. District Court Judge Robert Lasnik ruled posting 3D firearm blueprints online was illegal.
The cat was long out of the bag, though, as innovator Cody Wilson and others posted their blueprints to the internet long before the decision.
You can still find 3D firearm blueprints on many sites the internet and downloading and possessing these files is not a crime in most countries, including Canada.
In Canada, a Firearm Business License (FBL) is required to manufacture a firearm. This includes 3D-printed firearms, says Ministry of Public Safety spokesperson Tim Warmington.
"It is illegal to manufacture or possess a firearm without the appropriate licence and applicable registration certificate. The Firearms Act requires that a business, museum, or organization must have a firearms business licence to manufacture ammunition, firearms, restricted or prohibited weapons, or prohibited devices. A business licence is valid only for the activities specified on the licence."
"If law enforcement found an individual in possession of a 3D printer-manufactured firearm or parts of a firearm (e.g., magazines, barrels), without appropriate licences and registration, the firearm could be seized and the individual charged," said RCMP spokesman Sgt. Greg Cox.
On September 20, 2020, a 53-year-old Alberta man had the dubious pleasure of being the first person charged for manufacturing and distributing 3D-printed guns and gun parts. His case has yet to go to trial.
In 2014, the Ministry of Public Safety commissioned an intelligence report on 3D-printed firearms but that tender faded into the black hole of government procurement when nobody bid on the project.
-=-=-=-=-
From the explanatory section of Singapore's legislation:
Clause 13 provides for an offence of unauthorised possession of digital blueprints for manufacture of guns.
It is now possible for digital 3D gun technology to be applied in conjunction with an additive manufacturing process (i.e., 3D printing) to make a physical and operative gun. Technology advancements associated with the application of digital 3D models and 3D printers are increasing and cost inhibitors are reducing.
While there are many positive uses of such technology including for medical, scientific and industrial purposes, the same technology can also be applied though for criminal purposes.
Accordingly, clause 13 seeks to ensure that the law keeps pace with technology to effectively protect the community. A person who wants to make a digital 3D gun or a 3D major part of a gun by an additive manufacturing process will need an extra licence to do so.
While the making of a digital 3D gun or a 3D major part of a gun by an additive manufacturing process would constitute manufacturing within the meaning of clause 12, clause 13 makes it an offence for a person to possess a digital blueprint for the manufacture of a gun or major part of a gun on a 3D printer or on an electronic milling machine and the person is either not granted a licence or a class licence to manufacture the gun or major part of a gun using a 3D printer or on an electronic milling machine, or is not exempt because of clause 87, 88 or 89 in relation to that manufacture.

is this the country that has big flaring signs at border entry points warning people that possession of any amount any drugs is an execution offense?
If so, those 'unlicensed' blue prints in a handbag might also become a capital offense?
Christopher di Armani says
No, at least not yet, Peter. But who knows what tomorrow will bring. Certainly not me.
Clive Edwards says
It is insanity to believe that bureaucrats can save a single life by denying others the right to self defence. by licensing that right.. Besides, I can do more damage in terms of self defence with my brass handled hardwood walking stick than some dork with a single shot computer printed pistol. If guns were as common as cars we would likely notice that an order of magnitude more people die due to vehicles than to guns.
But then the gun mystique would not exist, and governments would need to walk the walk of democracy, not merely talk the talk backed up by armed government agents.
My aggressive self defence attitude and whatever tools, or lack of tools, that are at hand are all I need to keep myself and my family safe. It helps having a wife who is an even better shot than I am..
Gerry Kirkham. says
Hi Christopher, Beyond the need to keep us updated on firearms issues around the world in general, I pondered the need for an in depth article of something that was happening in Singapore. Although Singapore is said to be a Democracy, it is far more authoritarian than just about and other "Democracy" out there.
I have had the opportunity to visit and stay in that city a number of time in my life, and it is a very clean, and orderly city. However, don't you dare spit on the street or sidewalk, or drop any item of garbage, no matter how small. The rules and regulations there are very strict, and an arrest and short stay in the local jail will be accompanied with a few bruises at least, administered by the local police. It is a nice place to visit, and I've had the best steak I ever had in my life there, but living there with the heavy intolerance of authority lurking about, it's not a place to live, unless you are very wealthy. My only surprise in your article, was that they took this long to get around to creating this law. I will admit to not having any idea of the firearms ownership policy there, but I would suspect, again, that unless you are wealthy, you will not be allowed to own firearms anywhere on the Island of Singapore. What is always apparent around the planet, is that most governments fear their citizens owning guns, because when a government steps out of line far enough, there might be a citizen backed correction, which will be far more likely with an armed population. I would also suggest, that unfortunately we might now see how such a thing would unfold, in the armed population nation next door to us. As I suspect one of the first major policies to be updated, will be an attempt to change laws and destroy the Second Amendment!
The "need" for the article was because it interested me, Gerry, same as every article I write. 🙂
I'm not overly knowledgeable on Singapore's firearm laws either, but will be investigating in the weeks ahead as from what I could glean from this specific issue, they appeared to be more interested in making sure people were licenced than in cracking down on them.
Regarding our southern neighbours, yes, Biden's first order of business will be to attempt to take away the guns. Challenging times ahead, to be sure.
Arie Intveld says
Don't need no stinkin' 3D blueprints to make a Saturday night special! The plumbing department at Home Depot will do just fine.
It's more than dubious that gangbangers are frantically downloading 3D blueprints or CNC instruction sets for making guns. Just like our OIC-induced gun ban, Singapore has joined the global virtuosity tour by legislating new, vote-mining, vacuous solutions to problems which rarely manifest themselves.

</LinearLayout>

My CameraXPicture Fragment takes a picture and passes the picture forward to the FragmentImageCropp:
private Executor executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
captureImage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        imageCapture.takePicture(executor, new ImageCapture.OnImageCapturedCallback() {
            @SuppressLint("UnsafeExperimentalUsageError")
            @Override
            public void onCaptureSuccess(@NonNull ImageProxy image) {

                FragmentCroppImage fragment2 = new FragmentCroppImage();
                Bundle args = new Bundle();
                args.putByteArray("takenPic", imageProxyToBitmapByteArray(image));// length returns 6489014
                fragment2.setArguments(args);

                FragmentManager fragmentManager =  getFragmentManager();
                FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
                fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
                fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.frameLHaupt, fragment2);
                fragmentTransaction.commit();

            }

            @Override
            public void onError(@NonNull ImageCaptureException exception) {
                exception.printStackTrace();
            }
        });
    }
});

private byte[] imageProxyToBitmapByteArray(ImageProxy image) {
    ImageProxy.PlaneProxy planeProxy = image.getPlanes()[0];
    ByteBuffer buffer = planeProxy.getBuffer();

    byte[] bytes = new byte[buffer.remaining()];
    return bytes;
}

My FragmentImageCropp has only the job to display the image:
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    if (getArguments() != null) {
        mParam1 = getArguments().getString(ARG_PARAM1);
        mParam2 = getArguments().getString(ARG_PARAM2);
        bitmapAsArray = getArguments().getByteArray("takenPic");

        Log.e("received length",""+bitmapAsArray.length); //receives 6489014
    }
}

ImageView takenPicture;
byte[] bitmapAsArray = new byte[3]; //testvalue
@Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    takenPicture = view.findViewById(R.id.takenPicture);
    takenPicture.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(bitmapAsArray, 0, bitmapAsArray.length));
}

The issue is that the ImageView wont display the image. The ImageView remains "emtpy".
The issue is that I don't know what the issue might be. Is it cause the image get wrong converted to a bytearray or is it due the convertion of the bytearray to a bitmap?
The reason I am using a bytearray is that transferring a object(proxyimage) would take much longer, and I want to prevent long delays as much as possible.
EDIT
It seems that the convertion itself is not the issue right know. I tried displaying a picture hardcoded it does not get displayed

A: onImageSaved(@NonNull ImageCapture.OutputFileResults outputFileResults) {
Uri selectedImageUri = outputFileResults.getSavedUri();
Bitmap imageBitmap = BitmapUtils.loadFromUri(MainActivity.this, selectedImageUri);
                    imgView.setImageBitmap(imageBitmap);

}
oncapture success there is an overide method onimage saved from that you can set the image to your imageview

Polina Anikeeva and Feng Zhang awarded 2018 Vilcek Prize
Polina Anikeeva, the Class of 1942 Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and associate director of the Research Laboratory of Electronics, and Feng Zhang, the James and Patricia Poitras '63 Professor in Neuroscience at the McGovern Institute, have each been awarded a 2018 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Biomedical Science. Awarded annually by the Vilcek Foundation, the $50,000 prizes recognize younger immigrants who have demonstrated exceptional promise early in their careers.
"The Vilcek Prizes were established in appreciation of the immigrants who chose to dedicate their vision and talent to bettering American society," says Rick Kinsel, president of the Vilcek Foundation. "This year's prizewinners honor and continue that legacy with works of astounding, revolutionary importance."
Polina Anikeeva, who was born in the former Soviet Union, earned her PhD in materials science and engineering at MIT in 2009 and now runs her own bioelectronics lab in the same department focused on the development of materials and devices that enable recording and manipulation of signaling processes within the nervous system. The Vilcek Foundation recognizes Anikeeva for "fashioning ingenious solutions to long-standing challenges in biomedical engineering" including the design of therapeutic devices for conditions such as Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injury.
Feng Zhang, who is also a core member of the Broad Institute and an associate professor in the departments of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and Biological Engineering, is being recognized for his role in advancing optogenetics (a method for controlling brain activity with light) and developing molecular tools to edit the genome. Thanks to his leadership in inventing precise and efficient gene-editing technologies using CRISPR, Zhang's work has resulted in a "growing array of applications, such as uncovering the genetic underpinnings of diseases, ushering in gene therapies to cure heritable diseases, and improving agriculture." Zhang's family immigrated to the United States from China when he was 11 years of age.
Anikeeva and Zhang will be among eight Vilcek prizewinners honored at an awards gala in New York City in April 2018.
The Vilcek Foundation was established in 2000 by Jan and Marica Vilcek, immigrants from the former Czechoslovakia. The mission of the foundation, to honor the contributions of immigrants to the United States and to foster appreciation of the arts and sciences, was inspired by the couple's respective careers in biomedical science and art history, as well as their personal experiences and appreciation of the opportunities they received as newcomers to this country.

Republican Sens. Tom Cotton (Ark.) and Orrin Hatch (Utah) on Monday introduced the Iranian Leadership Asset Transparency Act, which would require the U.S. Treasury to report on the assets of key Iranian officials.
According to the press release from Cotton's office, the bill will have the Treasury provide reports on Iranian ayatollahs' assets in an attempt to expose how they have corruptly managed the country's economy.
"This report will expose to all the world just how badly the ayatollahs have mismanaged the Iranian economy and just how much money they've stolen from the Iranian people," Cotton said. "For too long, they've lived lavishly while their own people have suffered, and it's time we shine a bright line on this corruption."
Hatch said the legislation will give the public information about how Ayatollah Khamenei has profited at Iranians' expense.
"I am pleased to join Senator Cotton in introducing the Iranian Leadership Asset Transparency Act, a bill that calls for the public release of information concerning the fortunes that line the coffers of Ayatollah Khamenei and his regime," Hatch said. "By educating the public about the Iranian government's profiteering at the expense of its own people, this proposal will aid Iranians in their quest for freedom and prosperity."
A companion bill passed the House of Representatives in December. It was sponsored by Rep. Bruce Poliquin (R., Maine).

4) This precedes the "double decidual sign," which consists of two concentric echogenic rings: the decidua capsularis surrounding the gestational sac, and the decidua parietalis representing the opposite wall of the endometrium, often separated by a thin collection of fluid within the endometrial cavity (Figure 2).
The 2 hyperechoic interfaces result from: the inner decidua capsularis, forming the "free" edge of the enlarging gestational sac; and, the outer decidua vera (Figure 4).

Wings and Budweiser. Do we really need much more of a story than that? Generally I'd say no, but we had a trial by fire experience that I think it would be good to share for safety's sake. We had some friends over last night, had the wings going in the oven after the parboil (you'll find out about that part below), and the apartment began to fill with smoke. I opened the oven and was met a grease fire -- so this is trial by fire in the most literal sense. I dove in, potholder first and pulled out the flaming pan, set it down on the stove and got it to go out, switched to a throwaway aluminum pan instead of a cookie sheet wrapped with foil and we were back in business. Hopefully by us going through that, no one else has to to enjoy these delicious wings infused with Budweiser.
Wings infused with Budweiser topped with some HOT sauce.
1. Create a brine by mixing salt, garlic powder, and thyme into enough water to cover wings.
2. Brine chicken in refrigerator for 6 to 12 hours -- if you don't have space in your fridge, just add ice every hour or so to maintain temperature.
3. Remove chicken from brine.
5. Bring Budweiser to a boil in a pot large enough to fit the beer plus your wings. I know it's hard to dump the Budweiser into a pot instead of drinking them but that's why the recipe calls for a few extra to dirnk. Now's a good time to pour one of those for yourself if you haven't yet.
6. Boil wings for 8 minutes, turning regularly to ensure even cooking.
7. Remove from pot and dry thoroughly. Place in sprayed throwaway aluminum pan or other pan with high edges. Once that fat starts rendering in the oven, you don't want the drippings going everywhere and lighting on fire like mine did. A wire rack in a pan with high edges is even better.
8. Bake for 40 minutes or until wings are very crispy. Flip the wings once at about 30 minutes to ensure even crisping.
9. Make your favorite sauce. The best one we've used is Chili Garlic Sauce, Agave, and Butter (amounts listed above). The one in the photo is Sriracha and Honey. Be careful with the ratios and taste before you add to the wings to ensure your heat level is where you want it.
10. Toss wings in sauce and serve with a Budweiser.

John, I have it as hard copy, I can scan on A4 (4 sections). But it's not a 1922 edition, as they claim, but a 1939 "coloured" variant of 1926 edition, with "no update".
Thank you! It worked. And thank you for all the work you have done posting the maps. Very interesting.
Hello inbound. I've just checked the map, it downloads OK. It is a large file though, did you use right-click of the mouse and then "save as..."?
I'm just starting to look at OziExplorer. They ask for Map Datum. Should Potsdam be used for all maps, or what is best way to determine this?
link to Jaslo file fixed, and so is the one to "contact us".
I'll fix the map link and the contact us message, most probably tonight.
they were NOT "released by the Headquarters (of the Polish army), it's a lie. Somebody scanned them, some people sell them, and the Army don't care.
jmagyari, links to "other maps" have been fixed, sorry about the delay.
Broken links: could you please try to provide them again? It appears they got truncated in your message too, so I can't locate them.
I thought I knew where to find those sheets, but I might have been wrong. Need to check my records. At least both C and F sheets were published, as (possibly updated) copies of A-H 25K maps.
WIG 1:25 000 Will you be adding P51 S33 F Lipowiec P51 S33 C Jasliska and surrounding maps in this area?


In to the latter part of 2015 and their Autumn/Winter range of products, they've released an equally high quality alternative. Typically well built (designed to last) and incredibly well thought out in terms of layout and features, this is their new "Light Fishing Bag" (code 8676).
Unlike the previous hip bag, this one is mostly for the LRF or perch anglers out there who want the best! They're not cheap (circa £54.99) for a small bag, but anybody familiar with quality luggage from Simms, Fishpond or Patagonia won't find it excessive when they understand the quality. If you want build quality it generally needs to be paid for.
The front compartment has a hard case cover. Since they came in to the shop a week or so ago I've been eyeing them up numerous times, trying to figure out firstly what I'd use them for (naturally they'll make superb bass bags too if you don't want to carry much – for those short sessions) and then where I would put what! So many options with that hardcase front and foam board insert.
The fact they're available in 3 colours too will naturally appeal to any proper tarts out there that need their luggage to match their rod, reel, jacket etc!
Anyway, you can see more info HERE.
Winter greyness and big seas!
This year has really flown by. We've had a few weeks of it now, but it's evident from being in the shop and talking to anglers that the blowy conditions we've been having of late have really put a dampner on the last part of the bass season for us.
I'm sure our catching season has changed over the decade or so that I've been lure fishing. While I used to start going out in March and winding things down by the end of November, it's very much a May to December/early January season for us (from the shore) these days in North Cornwall. To back that up it is evident that there are still plenty of fish to be caught out there – while the water temperature hold itself up – but howling winds and big seas have hampered the efforts of many anglers. Although I bet the bass are loving it!
itely a day for wrapping up warm, holding on to your hat and getting your best pout on!
It's not often I get scared when creeping right to the edge of sheer cliffs to have a peak over (always on the lookout for fishing spots), but the wind was blowing to the degree that I had to stand back a bit to ensure I wasn't taken over the edge! A lovely days for a walk though and at times I wished I had a rod with me, but any time a set wave came through I know I'd have been a gonna!
It's a real shame that it has been so rough – from a fishing point of view. That said, there is one bay locally where it may be just about fishable when the sea gets big, but even that would be a 10′ rod and 42g Savage Eel type of session. Could be fun though, and this is the time of year to snag one of those big fish that may be poking around so maybe over the next couple of Sunday's I'll get out to have a go for a couple of hours!

Pirtek has outlets available across the UK
Commercial & Industrial Franchises
Pirtek is the number-one supplier of fluid transfer solutions and repair, specialising in hydraulic hoses, fittings and pipe couplings
The Design Print Distribution Group
School is Easy
Potential ROI within 18 months...
About Pirtek
Pirtek founder Peter Duncan started his company from his garage at home in Australia in 1980. His vision was for repairs to hydraulic hoses to be completed on site, eliminating the need for costly and inconvenient trips to equipment manufacturers.
Pirtek vans would be mobile workshops, able to deal with most repairs and replacements right away and reduce customers' downtime.
Duncan soon realised that his business would be perfect for franchising, and this strategy has led Pirtek from strength to strength. The brand
arrived in the UK in 1988, and launched in the USA eight years later. The strength of the business model is such that Pirtek has quickly grown to be the number-one operator in any market it enters.
Pirtek operates in a wide variety of industries, including automotive, utilities, manufacturing, mining and quarrying, agriculture, transport and logistics, defence, and many more. Wherever fluid transfer systems are found, Pirtek can supply replacement and repair services.
Pirtek's promise to customers is that its mobile service engineers will arrive at a job within one hour of receiving it. It is a business that operates on a 24/7 basis. As well as its mobile units, Pirtek has Service Centres throughout the UK and Ireland where customers can bring hoses, couplings and fittings for repair at the trade counter.
How does the Pirtek UK franchise model work?
The Pirtek UK franchise model is structured as a business format franchise – the franchisee takes control of a region of the UK and will be in charge of at least one Service Centre and several mobile workshops.
The Service Centre is open to customers and can provide repairs at the trade counter, while also acting as the warehouse for storing equipment and supplies for the mobile service engineers visiting clients on site.
The franchisee will be purchasing an existing business either on an assets basis or both assets and liability.
The Service Centre building is usually leasehold, with the lease being transferred to the incoming franchisee. The mobile workshops (vans) are sometimes leased to the franchisee or sometimes purchased outright. This is up to the franchisee. All new purchases include sufficient stock to start trading right away.
After this, the franchisee will need to purchase new stock from Pirtek UK periodically. All stock comes through Pirtek so that the company can maintain the highest possible standards in the products they use and supply.
Franchisees must be prepared for the challenges of a business that must be available 24/7 for customer emergencies. They must also be good at leading a team, as they will be managing a team of mobile service engineers as well as Service Centre staff. Financial acumen is important, as is the ability to spot new business opportunities. Franchisees are encouraged to run their own local promotions using approved printers and branding.
How much does a Pirtek UK franchise cost?
Costs of acquiring a Pirtek UK franchise can vary significantly depending on area. Some franchises have only a couple of mobile workshops while others could have as many as ten. Pirtek UK protects both the outgoing and incoming franchisees, ensuring that a fair price is paid and received for the franchise business.
Typically, a bank will provide 70 per cent of the total outlay required to purchase a franchise, with the franchisee required to provide around £70,000-£100,000 themselves. However, this figure could be higher if purchasing one of the larger Pirtek UK franchises.
Pirtek UK charges an initial franchise fee of £30,000 + VAT. Franchisees also pay a monthly ongoing Business Development fee of 1.5 per cent of retail sales – this is used to support the Pirtek network. Other monthly costs such as IT and accounting costs will vary depending on the size of the franchise.
How to find funding for the Pirtek UK franchising cost
Pirtek UK has been operating franchises since 1992 and has a longstanding and successful business model.
Since Pirtek UK franchises are well established and have a low failure rate, the company has a good relationship with the major banks when it comes to securing funding for franchisees. Franchisees will have guidance from a Pirtek UK Commercial Manager at the initial meeting with the bank, and will typically be able to secure 70 per cent of the funding cost as a loan from the bank.
New locations for Pirtek UK franchising and Pirtek franchises for sale
Since Pirtek UK already operates franchise regions across the entire UK, there are no opportunities for new franchise locations. All new franchisees must go down the resale route and purchase an available existing franchise.
Finding a Pirtek UK franchise for sale
Existing Pirtek UK franchises available for purchase are advertised on the Pirtek UK website. However, franchisees are often in place long term and consequently franchise availability is relatively rare.
Do franchisees need experience of the hydraulics repair industry?
A wide range of people become Pirtek franchisees, many with no previous experience of the industry. In the larger franchises, the collective team knowledge can provide vital support for an incoming franchisee still learning about the industry. In the smaller teams, some prior knowledge on the part of the franchisee can be useful.
However, all franchisees need to be able to demonstrate business and financial acumen, team-management skills, and be able to work within the established business model of Pirtek UK, using its own systems and IT to their full potential. They must also be willing to work to the customer promise of emergency call-outs attended within one hour, and manage the availability of Pirtek engineers 24/7.
Is training provided for Pirtek UK franchisees?
All Pirtek UK network staff, including franchisees, attend a residential course at the dedicated training facility in Birmingham. The City and Guilds-accredited course provides full training on choosing and using Pirtek products correctly, with a strong emphasis on health and safety procedures. Pirtek prides itself on its commitment to a safe working environment for all its staff and customers, and holds the international health and safety certification OHSAS 18001. There is also a Centre Management course available.
Why choose a Pirtek UK franchise over its competitors?
Pirtek UK is a market leader in its field and is also a well-established and successful franchise model. Successful franchise applicants receive an existing business, with its employees and stock all in place and ready to start right away. The thoroughness of the application process to become a Pirtek UK franchisee ensures that both the franchisor and franchisee fully understand each other and can start their business relationship with confidence.
Support for franchisees is available from Pirtek UK right from the start of the application process through to the ongoing business of running the franchise. Assistance with marketing is also provided, although costs need to be met by the franchisee. Franchisees have access to Pirtek UK's Shared Sales Resource initiative, as well as a team of Sales Development Managers to help their business thrive.
Where can I read Pirtek UK franchise reviews?
Pirtek reviews can be read at glassdoor.co.uk and at indeed.co.uk , but be advised that many reviews are by employees rather than franchisees.
How do you apply for a Pirtek UK franchise?
After applying for a Pirtek UK franchise, potential franchisees go through a three-to-six month assessment process to ensure that they are a good match for Pirtek UK, and vice versa. The first step is to contact the Area Operations Manager in the relevant region, after which there will be various paperwork to complete, followed by further meetings and assessment exercises. This part of the assessment is overseen by an independent organisation.
Once the paperwork is complete and the confidentiality agreement signed, potential franchisees will have the opportunity to view the accounts of the franchise they are interested in, as well as talk to existing Pirtek UK franchisees.
After the successful completion of these stages, the negotiation procedure will begin between the incoming franchisee and the existing franchisee looking to sell. A Pirtek UK Commercial Manager will be involved at this stage to assist with legal and funding issues.
To begin the application process, complete the enquiry form on this page.

Colleen does stuff: OH JOY, I'M DONE!
You can download the full text version HERE, or check out the website I built for the project.
This project was actually really fun. Even though staring at a computer screen for hours probably wrecked my already poor eyesight, I liked doing the layout a lot. Having it printed was the best part--this ambiguous, pixelated thing I'd been working on for months was finally touchable and flippable in full color. And so far I've only found two typos. But I'm not telling you where they are.
Now all I've got to do is write a critical analysis of my work, slap a bibliography on it, and throw it on the registrar's desk. Then I'm done with IS. DONE.


SANTA CLARA — With cornerback Chris Culliver looking as though he's made a full recovery from the ACL injury that derailed his 2013 season, it appears that the training camp competition at cornerback isn't really a competition at all.
Veteran Tramaine Brock entered camp with a starting role all but secured, and it appears as if Culliver is now slated to line up opposite him when the 49ers play their season opener in Dallas.
After a few rough practices in coverage at the beginning of camp, Brock has made strides towards regaining his form from 2013, when he started seven games while notching five interceptions and 15 passes defensed.
With the two starting spots practically secured, the real attention turns to both the nickel and No. 3 cornerback roles.
The 49ers failed to make any significant splashes in free-agency in regards to cornerbacks. The most significant was the addition of Minnesota Vikings cornerback Chris Cook, who has often underperformed.
San Francisco elected to use their No. 1 draft pick in the 2014 draft on safety Jimmie Ward, who they hope can man the nickel position.
Ward had a strong first showing in his first full NFL practice on Thursday after foot surgery sidelined him for OTAs. However, the rookie looked a bit overmatched when going against the likes of Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin during Sunday's practice.
Veteran Perrish Cox continues to be a viable option, starting immediately at the nickel position after being brought back to the team in time for last year's playoff game against the Green Bay Packers.
Cook, the 34th overall pick in the 2010 draft, has the most starts out of any cornerback on the roster with 29, but has failed to record an interception throughout his four-year career.
Cook will face competition from rookies Dontae Johnson and Kenneth Acker. Johnson has flashed signs of promise during training camp, but has also been burned often by veteran receivers.
With no clear cut option emerging so far, Harbaugh will continue to appraise his new cornerbacks likely throughout the entire preseason.

Clarissa Sebag-Montefiore: False Historical Consciousness
Clarissa Sebag-Montefiore is an editor at Time Out Beijing.BEIJING — My courtyard home in the heart of old Beijing has a view of the Drum Tower, which for centuries helped citizens keep track of the time.The tower still rolls its drums daily for tourists. But over the past few weeks a different rumbling could be heard in the public square where it stands: the sound of sledgehammers knocking down surrounding buildings.For years, the government has proposed leveling the zone around the Drum Tower and the neighboring Bell Tower, known in Chinese as Gulou and Zhonglou, respectively. In 2010, local media reported that except for the two towers, the area, a maze of snaking hutong alleyways and ramshackle courtyard homes, would be demolished to make way for a new "Beijing Time Cultural City" and underground mall.That did not come to pass. But in late 2012, the government posted new notices ordering local businesses and residents to vacate by Feb. 24. My home, which is one hutong down from the square, will be spared, but dozens are slated for destruction. Many residents have already left; those who have stayed are demanding more compensation....


How easy is it to free-up an fourstroke outboard that has run with no oil?
Its a 4hp mariner 4 stroke and is a couple of years old. I havn't had a proper look at it, but I can't turn it over with the recoil.
Its not worth me replacing pistons etc as its easier to strip it for spares and replace it with a new engine.
I drained the oil, and it was used by someone else the next day, they didnt notice the warning light, it ran for 20min before seizing. I should have left a note on it!
Don't bother-the whole engine will be shot.
What I expected to hear. Just needed reassurance before breaking up a practically new engine. Ah well, barrus will be happy.
you're insurance might cover this, on the basis it was an accident?
Its alrite now. I found another powerhead.
