Deciding to adopt is very exciting, but once they see all the paperwork, options and concerns, adoptive parents might get stressed and overwhelmed. If that happens to you, know that you're not the only one! So, in order to have a smoother adoption process, here are some of the most common adoption questions and their answers.
What adoption options are there?
There are three main adoption types: local infant adoption (adopting a baby from your country or state), international adoption (adopting a child from overseas) and foster-care adoption (children living in foster care or group homes without any parental rights). All types have good and bad sides, but some are better for certain people with preferences like the child's age, care or medical history. To find the perfect adoption type for you, take a look at this comparison chart that can help you with your choice.
Am I eligible to be an adoptive parent?
All adults (single people or married couples) can legally adopt a child. However, unmarried couples can't have a joint adoption, while people who are in the middle of the separation process need to file for joint adoption. Also, you can expect a background check that includes the examination of your criminal record and past child abuse and neglect cases that will determine whether you will provide a safe home for kids placed in your care.
Do I need to hire professional help?
Every country and every state has different laws regarding who can help you during your adoption process. In most cases, you can hire either an adoption agency or an adoption lawyer. By hiring an adoption lawyer, you can receive representation in adoption matters as well as advice and tips during the entire process. Lawyers are familiar with all the laws regarding adoption in your country or state, which is something most adoptive parents don't know or understand. In short, hiring a lawyer is a good first step towards becoming an adoptive parent and can be of significant help throughout the process.
Do I have to stay in contact with the birth parents?
In the past, most adoptions were "closed" and they involved no contact with the child's biological mother or father. Today, the situation is a bit different with a higher level of openness. Many parents are scared about adoption for that reason, but there are various degrees of communication between adoptive and natural parents you can choose from. Depending on the openness of the relationship, the wait for a child might be longer or shorter (closed adoption usually comes with a longer wait), so keep that in mind.
Unfortunately, there's always a waiting period when it comes to adoption, which depends on many different factors (age, family structure, state laws and other). International adoption is usually faster and takes less than two years. However, adopting a newborn domestically can take longer and is less predictable. It can take anywhere from months to years!
Should I talk to my children about adoption?
Many experts advise that you do talk to your children (both adoptive and biological) about adoption. Even though your child might feel rejected and sad after they learn they've been adopted, it's very important for them to understand what it actually means. As your kid starts asking questions about the world, birth and family, it's time to start the adoption talk (between the age of four and five). This is a touchy subject that should be handled with care, but there are amazing guides with useful tips on how to talk about adoption and what questions and reactions to expect.
As your adoption process goes on, you'll certainly have many more questions. However, these FAQs and answers should definitely help with initial doubts and confusion.

Grevillea guthrieana, commonly known as Guthrie's grevillea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to New South Wales. It is a spreading shrub with oblong leaves and clusters of two to six green and maroon flowers.

Description
Grevillea glabrescens is an open, erect shrub, that typically grows to a height of . Its leaves are oblong ,  long and  wide, the upper surface rough to the touch and the lower surface with shaggy hairs pressed against the surface. The flowers are arranged on the ends of branches in loose clusters of two to six on a rachis  long. The flowers are light green and maroon, the pistil  long. Flowering occurs from August to October and the fruit is a narrowly elliptic follicle about  long, and ridged with a few woolly hairs.

Taxonomy
Grevillea guthrieana was first formally described in 1994 by Peter M. Olde and Neil R. Marriott in the journal Telopea from specimens collected by Olde near Booral in 1992. The specific epithet (guthrieana) honours Christine Guthrie, for her assistance to the authors.

Distribution and habitat
Guthrie's grevillea grows in moist forest in three disjunct populations near Booral, near Mount Banda Banda and on the Carrai Plateau west of Kempsey.

Conservation status
Grevillea guthrieana is listed as "endangered" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and the New South Wales Government Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. The main threats to the species include weed invasion, road construction and maintenance, and grazing.

It's 11:00. Do you know where your candidates are?
Third-quarter campaign finance reports for House and Senate members are due at midnight, in just about an hour. Here at the Sunlight Foundation's Real Time Investigations, we're experimenting with a new utility that monitors the Federal Election Commission's Web site for reports as they trickle in–in, well, real time.
With a little over an hour to go before the reporting deadline, 130 House candidates in 104 districts, including 41 incumbents, have filed reports, according to the Sunlight-compiled spreadsheet. Check out their summary information, including amount raised, amount spent, and make-up of contributions between individual contributions, political action committees, and party money, downloadable here. Because the monitoring utility is still in testing mode, please confirm figures with the FEC's site before reporting. In future quarters, reporters are encouraged to check this site in the days before a reporting deadline for breaking updates in the minutes after candidates have submitted their reports. Electronically-filed reports by House members are available online nearly as soon as the campaign committee's treasurer clicks "send" on their e-filing program.


The pair will discuss the impact of drones and emerging technologies on the way we will build and experience our future urban environments. The event will conclude with an audience Q&A at 8.30pm.
The event will begin at 6.30pm with registration starting at 6.00pm.

Q: Infinite scroll with no content Maybe this is just me thinking of a way to create a really obnoxious "Site under construction" page, but is there anyway to create an infinite scroll when you don't actually have any content? So essentially, you would just scroll down a white page forever?
Would it work to simply use two page and constantly "refetch" the other page each time you approach the bottom of the one you're currently on? This might be a terrible idea from the memory standpoint of the browser, but I thought with only two pages that may not be an issue.

A: I don't know why you will need such thing but you can increase the height while scrolling by the amount you scrolled or such thing
var windowHeight = $(window).height();
var oldScrollTop = 0 ;

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('body').height(windowHeight+50);
})

$(window).scroll(function(){
    var scrollTop = $(this).scrollTop();
var newHeight = windowHeight + scrollTop;
    if(scrollTop > oldScrollTop)
    {
        oldScrollTop = scrollTop;
        $('body').height(newHeight);
    }
});

Czesław Kwieciński (* 20. Januar 1943 in Romaškiai, Rajongemeinde Kaunas, Litauische SSR) ist ein ehemaliger polnischer Ringer. Er gewann bei den Olympischen Spielen 1972 und 1976 jeweils eine Bronzemedaille im griech.-röm. Stil im Halbschwergewicht.

Werdegang

Czesław Kwieciński wurde vom sowjetischen Geheimdienst NKWD zusammen mit seinen Eltern 1948 nach Sibirien verschleppt. Dort wuchs er auf und begann als Jugendlicher auch mit dem Ringen. Erst im Alter von 16 Jahren kam er nach Polen zurück und wurde in Piotrcovil ansässig. Dort setzte er das Ringen fort und wurde von Eugeniusz Kierusz trainiert. 1962 wechselte er zum Sportverein Siła Mysłowice, dem er bis zum Ende seiner Laufbahn angehörte. Im Laufe seiner langen Karriere wechselten die Trainer, mit denen er zusammenarbeitete, mehrmals. Es waren u. a. Ernest Gondzik, Jan Stawowski und Janusz Tracewski.

Im Jahre 1964 wurde Czesław Kwieciński als polnischer Juniorenmeister im griechisch-römischen Stil im Mittelgewicht (damals bis 87 kg Körpergewicht) bei den Olympischen Spielen in Tokio eingesetzt. Dort erreichte er im Mittelgewicht den 16. Platz. Er hatte allerdings in Wjatscheslaw Oleinik aus der UdSSR und Lothar Metz aus Rostock enorm schwere Gegner, gegen die er, nicht überraschend, verlor.

Bereits im nächsten Jahr überraschte Czesław Kwieciński bei der Weltmeisterschaft im finnischen Tampere mit dem Gewinn der WM-Bronzemedaille, die er mit einem Sieg über den Jugoslawen Josip Čorak sicherstellte. Gegen Per Svensson aus Schweden und Ferenc Kiss aus Ungarn musste er Niederlagen einstecken.

In den nächsten drei Jahren erreichte er bei den Welt- bzw. Europameisterschaften und auch bei den Olympischen Spielen 1968 in Mexiko-Stadt keine Medaillenplätze. In Mexiko-Stadt kam er im Halbschwergewicht auf den 7. Platz. Im Jahre 1969 war er bei keinen internationalen Meisterschaften am Start. 1970 folgte dann nach einem 6. Platz bei der Europameisterschaft in Berlin mit dem 2. Platz im Halbschwergewicht bei der Weltmeisterschaft im kanadischen Edmonton der nächste große Erfolg in der Laufbahn von Czesław Kwieciński. Er siegte in Edmonton u. a. über die starken Ostblock-Ringer Venko Tsintsarow aus Bulgarien, László Sillai aus Ungarn und Josip Čorak. Im Endkampf unterlag er damals in dieser Gewichtsklasse und Stilart überragenden sowjetischen Sportler Waleri Resanzew.

Im Jahre 1972 nahm Czesław Kwieciński in München bereits an seinen dritten Olympischen Spielen teil. Erstmals gewann er dabei mit der Bronzemedaille eine olympische Medaille. Bemerkenswert waren dabei seine Siege über Stojan Nikolow aus Bulgarien und die Unentschieden gegen Josip Čorak und Lothar Metz. Gegen Waleri Resanzew hatte er allerdings wiederum keine Chance.

Auch 1973 gelang ihm wieder ein großer Erfolg. In Teheran wurde er wie schon 1970 wieder Vize-Weltmeister im Halbschwergewicht. Nach Siegen über Stojan Nikolow, Károly Bajkó aus Ungarn und Nicolae Neguț aus Rumänien unterlag er dabei im Finale wieder gegen Waleri Resanzew.

Bis zum Jahre 1976 gelangen ihm dann keine Medaillengewinne mehr. Immerhin kam er aber bei den Europameisterschaften 1974 und 1975 jeweils auf den 4. Platz. Bei den Olympischen Spielen 1976 in Montreal sicherte er sich aber zum zweiten Mal eine Bronzemedaille. Stojan Nikolow und Waleri Resanzew platzierten sich dabei vor ihm.

Czesław Kwieciński war ein Ausbund an Energie und Ehrgeiz, das zeigte sich in den folgenden vier Jahren, in denen er weiterhin bei vielen Welt- und Europameisterschaften startete. Inzwischen traf er auf eine ganz neue Generation von Weltklasseringern, denen er meistens große Kämpfe liefert, aber doch anerkennen musste, dass die Jugend die Vorherrschaft gewann. Diese jungen Ringer waren vor allem Frank Andersson aus Schweden, Igor Kanygin aus der Sowjetunion und Norbert Növényi aus Ungarn.

1978 gelang ihm bei der Europameisterschaft in Oslo, bei der er den 6. Platz belegte, ein Prestigesieg über den Olympiasieger von 1972 im Mittelgewicht Csaba Hegedüs aus Ungarn und im gleichen Jahr kam er bei der Weltmeisterschaft in Mexiko-Stadt noch einmal auf einen hervorragenden vierten Platz.

1980 startete er in Moskau zum fünften Mal bei Olympischen Spielen. Er hatte dort allerdings das Pech, dass er nach einem Sieg in der ersten Runde über den Mongolen Jamysing Bor auf Frank Andersson und Igor Kanygin traf, gegen die er verlor, ausschied und in der Endabrechnung nur den 11. Platz belegte.

Danach trat Czesław Kwieciński, inzwischen 37 Jahre alt, vom internationalen Ringersport zurück. Er arbeitete in den nächsten Jahren als Sportlehrer in Mysłowice und wurde anlässlich seines 65. Geburtstages von dieser Stadt mit der Verleihung der Ehrenbürgerwürde geehrt.

US STOCKS-Wall St set to rise on hopes of de-escalation in trade war
By Shreyashi Sanyal
(For a live blog on the U.S. stock market, click or type LIVE/ in a news window)
* Trump to meet Chinese vice premier at 2:45 p.m. ET
* Chipmakers, Apple rise in premarket trading
* Oil majors mirror gains in crude prices
* Futures up: Dow 0.98%, S&P 500 0.99%, Nasdaq 1.10% (Updates market action, adds comments)
Oct 11 (Reuters) - Wall Street was set to rise for a third straight session on Friday, as investors expected top-level trade talks between the United States and China to result in a partial trade deal and delay planned U.S. tariff increases.
The three main indexes ended the previous session higher after gaining more than 1% in early trading on Thursday following optimism that the two sides could cool off their row before more U.S. tariffs kick in next week.
President Donald Trump said trade talks between the U.S. and Chinese officials on Thursday went well, and is set to meet Chinese Vice Premier Liu He at 2:45 p.m. ET.
Analysts said equity markets have grown hungry for some sort of breakthrough in the latest round of negotiations.
"Over the last couple of months, we have seen firms taking a hit from the uncertainty around trade and markets will be looking for any clues to remove that uncertainty," said Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James in St. Petersburg, Florida.
"It is still going to be a one step forward, two steps backward tone with the talks, but there are hopes of a de-escalation."
Companies with a sizeable exposure to China rose in premarket trading. Apple Inc was up 1.2%, while chipmakers Intel Corp, Nvidia Corp and Advanced Micro Devices Inc gained about 1.5%.
Wedbush raised its price target on the shares of the iPhone maker, citing optimism about the company's Apple TV+ video streaming service.
Oil majors Exxon Mobil Corp and Chevron Corp rose 1% and 1.2% respectively, as a report of an attack on an Iranian oil tanker lifted oil prices.
Still, the S&P 500 and Dow Jones indexes were set for their fourth straight weekly fall after taking a hit from the recently announced weak economic data and irritants in the U.S.-China trade war.
At 8:33 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were up 260 points, or 0.98%. S&P 500 e-minis were up 29 points, or 0.99% and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were up 85.5 points, or 1.1%.
Focus now shifts to third-quarter earnings starting next week as investors brace for the impact of the trade war on Corporate America.
Analysts are expecting a 3.1% drop in S&P 500 earnings, marking the first decline since 2016, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
Investors are also betting on a third interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve by the end of the month to battle an economic downturn in the world's largest economy. (Reporting by Shreyashi Sanyal in Bengaluru; Editing by Shounak Dasgupta)

MGM Springfield now a US$950 mln scheme
Nov 19, 2015 Newsdesk Latest News, Top of the deck, World
Casino operator MGM Resorts International said its MGM Springfield project (pictured in a rendering) would now cost more than US$950 million. Original estimates were expected to exceed US$860 million, including capitalised interest and land related costs, the firm said in a release on Wednesday.
MGM Resorts, the parent company of Macau-based MGM China Holdings Ltd, broke ground in March on its MGM Springfield project in Massachusetts, in the United States.
The property is scheduled to be completed in August 2018 with the casino due for an official opening in September 2018. The casino resort was originally slated to open in the autumn of 2017, according to earlier statements by the company.
MGM Resorts did a public presentation about how and why the MGM Springfield design has changed over the last four months.
A redesign was made public earlier this year, whereby the hotel at MGM Springfield would be reduced from a 25-storey tower to a six-storey building, and relocated within the site. The new location for the hotel had originally been earmarked for apartments to be marketed to the public, but such real estate will now be moved outside the casino footprint, according to MGM Resorts.
"We are very proud of MGM Springfield's improved design. Our commitment to the City of Springfield, the region, and the Commonwealth has never wavered," Bill Hornbuckle, president of MGM Resorts, said in a statement.
MGM Resorts is scheduled to present a comprehensive cost and design analysis to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission on December 3. The new plan must still get approval from local authorities before moving forward with the design approval process, the firm said.

Southeast Missouri State University is a public, accredited school that resides on the beautiful banks of the Mississippi River, in Cape Girardeau Missouri. Its greatest strength is teacher education. Southeast Missouri State University was established in 1873. SMSU offers 200 different zones of study, featuring undergraduate degrees, master's degrees and a Ed.D. program offered in concert through its partnership with the University of Missouri. Over 12,000 students attend Southeast Missouri State University, with only 3,000 residents. Out of state students come from all 50 American states, and nearly 1,000 students attend the school from over 52 different countries. Southeast Missouri State University plays sports on the Ohio Valley Conference of NCAA Division 1.
Southeast Missouri State University was created by southern businessmen and politicians who wanted to turn Cape Girardeau into the home of what they called the Third District Normal School. They successfully lobbied the state of Missouri to do so, and constructed a campus that looked like Harry Potter meets Nosferatu meets Gone With the Wind. It was gothic, mystical and so, so southern. That original building burnt down in 1902, and was replaced in 1906 by Academic Hall, the domed iconic building of Southeast Missouri State, which still stands today. In the 50's through 70's, SMSU began to bloom, going from a student body around 1,600 to over 7,000 because of its low tuition, constant and passionate recruitment, and the construction of Interstate 55, bridging Cape Girardeau and St. Louis.
From a tiny, dusty, tumbleweed school, SMSU has grown to over 30 academic buildings. In 2014, Southeast Missouri State opened the River campus, which has its visual and performing arts programming, something SMSU is taking seriously as it expands the diversity of its curriculum. Most importantly, Southeast Missouri State University has created a thriving online program offering 11 Bachelor degrees, 13 master's degrees, four certificates and two specialist degrees. As with its physical programming, SMSU puts an emphasis on education and healthcare, with a host of elementary education degrees, a nursing degree, and bachelor's and master's in health administration. It also offers some fascinating options outside of that, like an MBA in Sports Management and an MS in Criminal Justice entirely online.
Southeast Missouri State is highly ranked, and came in at 103rd among Midwest Regional Universities and 29th among Midwestern Public schools in the 2017 U.S. News & World Report's Best College Rankings. Additionally, its online programs have been met with glowing praise as well from that ubiquitous rankings source.

What Makes The School Unique: Notable Alumni
Southeast Missouri State is a small school nestled in an oft-ignored part of America. Or is it? When we take a closer look, it's clear that graduates of SMSU have gone on to become some of the most influential and powerful people in their respective fields. In fact Rush Limbaugh, one of the most powerful men in media, went to SMSU. Limbaugh's grandfather, Rush Limbaugh the first of his exquisite German lineage, helped put Cape Girardeau on the map as a lawyer and politician in the area. When he died in 1996, God rest his soul, he was 104 years old, and had retired only two years earlier at 102, the oldest practicing attorney in America. In happier SMSU alumni news, legendary comedian Cedric the Entertainer went there! Not to mention Neal E. Boyd, American pop opera singer and winner of America's Got Talent, season 3.
A host of athletes came out of Southeast Missouri State's Division 1 NCAA programs, including in baseball, Kerry Robinson, Justin Christian and agent Nick Brockmeyer (SMSU has a greatly respected sports management program). In football, SMSU has produced a wealth of pros like Willie Ponder, Eugene Armano, Ken Iman, Dan Connolly, Edgar Jones and many others.
Southeast Missouri State University doesn't just produce entertainers and athletes. Linda M. Goodwin, Missouri legend and famed astronaut is a graduate. After joining NASA in 1980, Goodwin quickly flew up the ranks, becoming an astronaut in 1991. On one mission, she circled the earth 185 times and traveled 4.8 million miles in just a few days. Not bad from a graduate of a small college in a small town in Missouri. Peter Kinder, the Lieutenant Governor of Missouri since 2005 is a graduate of SMSU as well. And finally, four-star General James T. Conway, now retired, served as the 34th Commandant of the Marine Corps, rising to the top the Corps after graduating Southeast Missouri State.
It just goes to show that nestled in this small school is a tradition of excellence. You can connect with this influential alumni network and learn more about them here: http://www.semo.edu/alumni/

Family-owned businesses are not usually run like large public companies and working together can bring out the best and worst in a family owned business entity. Here are four Key questions that business valuation professionals ask when valuing a family owned company.
1. Are Family Members On The Payroll?
The terms family owned business and nepotism often go hand in hand. While some business owners hire only trustworthy and qualified family members, many hire them out of a sense of obligation or a desire to pass on the business to the next generation. When valuing these businesses, the business valuation professional will objectively consider if the employee family members are qualified for their positions and is the compensation paid and employee benefits provided to them reasonable based on market comparisons.
2. Are There Other related Party transactions Other Than Compensation and Benefits?
Family owned business may engage in other transaction with family members such as building and equipment rental and supplier contracts. Once again the business valuation professional will need to evaluate these payments to see if they are reasonable based on market comparisons.
3. Is The Business Management Style Casual or Formal?
Family owned business generally have a less formal management style and favor employee trust over documented and written procedures for operations. The loose management style of many family businesses can lead to weak internal control and even fraud. The valuation professional will take this into consideration when reviewing business records.
4. Is a Key Person Discount Required?
A typical approach to quantifying the need for a key person discount is estimating the monetary loss for the company should the key person depart by considering the key person's skills, any customer relationships, and if there are signed employee non-compete agreements.
Some of the largest and most successful business in the United States are run by families. Experienced Valuation professionals recognize the common issues that family owned entities encounter and when necessary will adjust valuation procedures and analysis to estimate how much these businesses would be worth to third party buyers in an arms length transaction.

Q: Wrong association bonus point number shown while joining Space Exploration community Recently I had joined to Space Exploration community. Though I have receive 100 association bonus point, wrong number was shown as notification.

A: It looks like you had lost 33 reputation prior to gaining this association bonus. See Why do reputation drops not highlight the Achievements icon?
The reason the loss of that 33 reputation is not shown in the dialog is because it's lost via a post deletion, and deleted posts don't show up in the achievements dialog.
It's not a bug indeed. I am expecting status-bydesign.


What Can Keurig Do For You?
The Keurig 2.0 K550 Brewing system is easy to set up. I added the water up to the specified lines. The water started to warm up. When it was ready. I put a k-cup and was ready to drink my coffee. I can brew coffee, tea and even make ice coffee. I get different k-cups with different flavors and taste. It's nice to drink different flavors to give me a relaxing and soothing feel. The best part is to enjoy the beverage in the morning, afternoon and at night. The Keurig 2.0 K550 Brewing System makes a nice coversation piece. We would even share some coffee or tea with family or friends. This would help entertain guests and have fun saying #HelloKeurig. Nice of you to join us.
We also received the Keurig 2.0 Carrousel and Thermal Carafe Insolante. The Keurig 2.0 Carrousel helps us to store 24 k-cups and spins easy around for k-cup access. The Keurig 2.0 Carafe Isolante is a 4 cup capacity for putting coffee and tea. It's made vacuum insulated with double wall stainless steel, that will keep beverages hot. It has a easy pour handle with a brew through lid for our comfort.


Following our enjoyable lunch we decided to have a little explore of the area. We headed towards Latimer, and before long reached a pleasant bridge over the River Chess. We passed through Latimer, another tiny but lovely village, and towards Flaunden, home of the Bricklayer Arms; a pub we aim to visit on a weekend soon. We were beginning to discover that the roads in this area were in places rather sketchy; the recent snow and ice had led to some quite severe potholes. These are the smallest country lanes too, with little room to manoeuvre. Fortunately the roads were quiet, so a bit of careful negotiation around the potholes got us back on the more substantial road by Chenies and home.
Bedford Arms outside seating – would be nice in the summer!
Chenies village – 4 miles from everywhere!

How Playing Notpron In 2005 Helped My Programming Career In 2017
by Jameson Hampton | Mar 9, 2020 | Features, Video Games | 0 comments
Do you remember Notpron? I certainly do, although I distinctly remember it being called notpr0n—which I suspect is more a remnant of online culture in the late 2000s when it was originally popular than a Mandela effect. If you're one of the more than 19 million people who have participated in this online scavenger hunt, it's likely you have nostalgic feelings about it too. It was the first time I had seen anything like it, a puzzle game that wasn't confined to the boundaries of a normal game in any of the ways I expected.
For those who aren't familiar, Notpron has been called the "hardest riddle on the internet"—a worthy title for a 140-level puzzle that has only been solved by 66 people since it was created by David Münnich in 2004. (I want to reiterate that, because 66 out of 19 million is a wild ratio.) Most levels require a username and password combo that you have to figure out from the hints on the page, but some levels also require users to modify the URL of the page in order to progress. (This article won't contain any major spoilers—Münnich rightfully insists that they're against the spirit of the game—but as an example, the trick for getting from level 2 to level 3 is literally changing the "2" to a "3" in the URL. It's sneaky like that right from the beginning!) Nearly all challenges involve taking a peek into the source code of the webpage, where various hints are hidden, and many require a deeper technical knowledge—of file systems and extensions, graphics and audio manipulation, or computer programming.
I came across Notpron for the first time when I was 15 years old and I was totally enchanted by it. There's something creepy to its aesthetic, with its eerie, howling background music and dark photos containing untold secrets to uncover. I remember waiting for my mom to go to sleep, so I could sneak downstairs in the middle of the night and wrack my brain over these strange puzzles, feeling like I was cracking some kind of mysterious and inscrutable code. At that age, I was just starting to get into computer programming, which I would someday make a career in, and Notpron made me feel like I alone could speak the language of the machine and decode its cryptic messages.
An example of a Notpron puzzle
In a lot of ways, I could credit Notpron for the beginning of my technical career. I was drawn to it because I already liked solving puzzles, but Notpron solidified the link in my mind between puzzles and programming and gave me a lifelong appreciation for cryptography and ciphers specifically. It encouraged a specific kind of thought, trying to think outside the confines of what's expected and find ways to exploit the system. It taught me to always, always look at the source code, and from there, I began to learn some of the methods to look meticulously at files for what could be hidden there. I didn't realize at the time how these methods might come in useful later in my life: although Notpron was my first time participating in this kind of a puzzle game, it certainly wasn't the last.
A decade or so passed and I found myself in my mid-twenties, working as a software engineer and traveling around the country to tech conferences to learn about, and subsequently teach, programming principles and tricks. This is how I started getting involved with the hacker community and where I was introduced to their favorite game, Capture the Flag.
It's higher tech than the game you may remember from summer camp, but actually the concept isn't that different, especially in its earliest days. Capture the Flag (CTF) contests as a cybersecurity game originated in 1996 at DEF CON, which is one of the world's biggest hacker conventions. In the original format, which is now known as the "attack/defense" format, teams of hackers compete against each other to take their opponents' flags while protecting their own, just like in regular Capture the Flag. But these flags are digital, so "taking opponents' flags" involves exploiting vulnerabilities in their network to gain access, while "protecting your own" means patching any vulnerabilities in your own network to prevent it from being hacked. (It's worth noting that the DEF CON CTF is also the oldest active CTF, as it has been running annually from DEF CON 4 to this year's DEF CON 27. It's now one of the most competitive CTFs out there, with the best teams in the world competing in qualifiers to even earn a spot to play.)
Attack/defense CTFs still exist, but they're no longer the only, or even the most common, type of CTF contests. It's now more common to see Jeopardy-style CTFs, which replace the "versus" aspect with puzzle-like challenges, solving which earn you points that contribute to your status on a leaderboard. While Jeopardy CTFs often still have a web security focus, the challenges are presented in a more puzzle-like way. It's common to be given a link to a website that has some specific vulnerability purposefully programmed into it; exploiting that vulnerability will usually reveal the "flag." (The flag is represented by a secret code that can be input for points, acting as proof that you've solved the puzzle.) But like real Jeopardy, there's more than one category of puzzle represented and not all puzzles involve traditional hacking. Other common categories are cryptography, file analysis, and steganography, which is when data, images, or files are hidden inside of other images and files.
An example of a CTF challenge that involved converting raw Base64 text into a .png image
This is the style of competition that I was introduced to at a tech conference in 2017. I'd heard of Capture the Flag before but it always seemed too intimidating to try myself—I could write code, but I didn't consider myself a hacker and I didn't know the first thing about trying to break into a database, even one I knew was insecure. But it wasn't an extremely competitive event and I was encouraged to give it a try. Knowing that I was a total newbie, some of the other participants graciously helped me learn some of the basic hacking techniques, but I also found that I had more of a knack for the other types of challenges. When given an image, it came naturally to me to open it up in an editing program and start messing around with the levels and color palettes to see if a message would reveal itself. When listening to an audio file of various beeps, I would immediately think, "Is this morse code? Could it be telephone keypad tones? What would happen if I played it backwards or at a different speed?" These are all techniques that transport me back in time to those late nights on my parents' desktop computer playing Notpron and scouring the web for tips on how to tease secret info out of a .jpg or .wav file.
An example of a CTF challenge that involved converting an audio file to spectrogram to find hidden data
The more I thought about it, the more I realized how well Notpron had prepared me for CTF competitions. Just being able to slip into the mindset of going straight to the source code and looking for solutions in unexpected places gave me a leg up in my first CTF. Notpron explicitly encourages players to turn to Google for help interpreting clues and learning new skills, which is absolutely necessary for CTFs, especially as a beginner. (Maybe I don't already know how to attack a database using SQL injection, but I'll be damned if I can't learn!) Both games rely on players not ruining it for each other by sharing answers, but have spawned communities that will formulate clever hints to help others get on the right track without outright giving it away. And both games can be played as an individual but are considered better as a team activity. Attack/defense CTFs require teams, but even many of the Jeopardy-format contests encourage players to form teams of people with different specialties so you can take advantage of each other's strengths and cover for their weaknesses. Münnich feels similarly about Notpron. In an interview with Fast Company in 2014, he said: "I don't think anyone beat the game all alone, because you need to possess so many different skills, that it's nearly impossible for a single person. Usually it's little groups of friends who beat it step by step [with] everyone's strengths being put to use."
When I played Notpron, I did it on my own, but I have played CTFs with other people, and it's one of the major ways it has helped my career. Nobody becomes a great programmer on their own. Through the CTF community, I've met really talented programmers to network among, learn from, and cultivate friendships with. Because I don't work explicitly in infosec, the hacking skills I've picked up from doing CTFs haven't come in particularly handy at my day job (yet!), but they have bolstered my confidence in my work. The single most important skill to succeed at Notpron, CTFs, and programming alike is a sense of confidence in yourself: confidence that even if you don't know how to do something yet, you have the ability to learn it.
Even if I never beat Notpron—and with a 0.000347368421053% success rate, it's very likely I never will—it has become a permanent part of my origin story. My interest in cryptography is a part of me now, and I'm sure it will be for the rest of my life. I often think back on it fondly while I'm competing in Capture the Flags, and every time I place well in one, I feel a little closer to those admirable 66 (teams of) puzzle solvers who conquered the hardest riddle on the internet.

Diane is responsible for an ever-widening suite of tasks in Syncrety including day-to-day accounting, year-end and taxes, inventory tracking, payroll, vendor accounting, interfacing with our accounting firm (Daley & Company LLC), payments and statements, and shipping and receiving.
"Diane is a friend from years back. We worked at the same place once and I had hoped we would eventually work together again in my company. Shortly after David and I started Syncrety we hired Diane and are continually grateful she took the risk and joined our brand new company way back then. She has taken on so many of our administrative tasks and has enabled us to spend more time on building and improving Syncrety.
"As I handed off accounting and administration tasks to Diane there came a point where she was working on new tasks and documenting new processes for tasks I'd never done. It's a continual source of joy for me to know that these responsibilities are in such competent hands. Diane is also so willing to help in the myriad tasks that crop up on a daily basis whether that's helping to paint the unique modular desks David built for each of us, or organizing the storage and inventory room. Diane shows commitment and strong motivation to help us wherever she can. Also she has what is the prerequisite sense of humor required in our workplace.
"David has worked with Diane recently to add the Service Dispatch role to her set of responsibilities and she has risen well to the challenge. This role is challenging especially if you're not as technically experienced in our industry. Nevertheless through her work in Dispatch more attention is being paid to your tickets and better scheduling is being done. That's a wonderful thing for us."


Anniversaries are those special events in our lives that often take us back in time. Remembering what was, and hoping for what is yet to come. Well, today is our 42nd wedding anniversary!
And as we look back, we find that what stands out most is God faithfulness. We left our homeland with no promised support and little money. (Read: almost none.) Folks told us we were crazy. And we probably were.
But we had one thing that bolstered and supported us. God's promise that he would remain faithful. And he has. Through thick and thin. Through all kinds of storms and weather. God has been faithful. Even when we have not.
In looking back, we shouldn't have lasted this long.
And we are once again reminded of all the things we should never have been able to do, but we did them. By common logic, we shouldn't have survived here even a month. But we did, and we're still here over 30 years later!
Looking back we see God's faithfulness!
We raised two children, traversed the nation (and beyond) multiple times. While, through God's grace, touching lives that still stand true to the Lord today. He has used us to help start churches or encourage the weaker ones. And all on such limited funds!! Yes, God has indeed been faithful!
We came to the mission field full of zeal and faith. Hoping to do great things for God. And instead learned that HE is the only one who can do the great things. (And that he usually does them in spite of us! We often get in his way and mess things up.) We've made so many mistakes, done wrong, and continue doing so.
So we found that God was mostly wanting to do great things IN us, making us more like him, and molding us into his image. And he's still working on that!
But we've all made mistakes, haven't we? We've all done wrong. Even though we try so hard not to. And though we'll continue trying to improve, trying to overcome, there is one great truth we can continue to stand on.
And looking forward, he will remain faithful.
So the next 30 years (if we live that long?) We don't know. But we do know that God will be ever faithful. That he will continue doing great things, because he is a great God. Doing great things IN us, and through us in spite of ourselves!
And if what we did was crazy, then we want to keep right on being crazy!
Especially today as we celebrate 42 years of marriage. Because you see, even that was a little crazy. We met on October 1st and got married on November 1st. Of the same year. Crazy? Yeah, we know. But we've never regretted it!
Many great things have come into our lives through craziness. Especially the craziness of following God with reckless abandon, as Oswald Chambers puts it. Craziness. But with God's faithfulness in the midst of it all!
Though our past has bumps and scars, we can still see God's faithfulness. And although the future is foggy and uncertain, God will remain faithful.
When has God shown himself faithful to you in seemingly impossible situations? Briefly share in the comments. Someone may need the encouragement today!!
Because the only real certainty is knowing that God's faithfulness is eternal, and sufficient to cover all our unfaithfulness!

Happy Anniversary, my friend. The years you all have spent in Italy have been an investment in eternity–and I love the fact that you do it with such passion! And that you knew so quickly that he was the one for you! May you continue to celebrate every day the goodness of God in the small and big things of life for the two of you.
Thank you so much Dayle! Our years here have been rich. Rich in experience, in blessings, lessons. But mostly rich in God. He has been good to us!
Being from Italian heritage in my mother's side makes me wish I was there with you!!
That would be great, wouldn't it? You would love Italy, I'm sure!!

Dir. Marc Forster, U.S., Paramount Vantage
Right off the bat, there are two telltale signs in the Hollywood adaptation of The Kite Runner that portend the safe, diluted entertainment about to unfold. Perhaps nervous that a prestige drama mostly told in the Afghani language of Dari, and headlined by a cast of unknown middle-Eastern actors, might not sell to the multiplexes, the producers have inserted a fancy, interminable credit sequence, backed by Alberto Iglesias's overly insistent, lute-heavy score, and adorned with some faux-Persian, animated curlicues. Then it's straight to the English-language San Francisco prologue, flatly filmed to look like any anonymous American studio project: kites flying at the beach, happy couple walking hand in hand. Soon enough, thirtysomething protagonist Amir, opening a package to find his newly published book, a la George McFly in Back to the Future, is flashing back to the apparently halcyon days of pre-Taliban Afghanistan.
Here, in 1978, Forster devotes much screen time to the relatively universal trivialities of childhood, like watching glorious American movies and, of course, flying colorful kites—in another desperate attempt to grab the attention of an American audience possibly lulled by the traditional storytelling and proliferation of on-screen foreigners, the latter is rendered in intolerable, remarkably unconvincing CGI, as kites swoop and dip, and their apparently razor-sharp strings go mano á mano in goofy, impossible close-up. These sequences are the pandering tipping point for a film that actually might have coasted on its serviceable storytelling skills: on a narrative basis, Forster and screenwriter David Benioff keep things moving briskly and fluidly, and the actors are emotionally compelling enough that it's easy, in the moment, to overlook the film's central thematic dubiousness and specious cultural elisions.
As a purported sympathetic view of Muslims from a dream factory that has always painted them as buffoonish terrorist fodder for Schwarzeneggerian dispatch, The Kite Runner is undeniably something of a baby-steps breakthrough. Yet Forster's touristy exoticization infuses nearly every frame, and, with the exception of one brief, late visit to a mosque, religion seems to play little to no part. Furthermore, the rosy glow of Kabul upon the eve of the Russian invasion might certainly have been somewhat diffused had there been a single strong female character (Amir's mother died giving birth to him, natch). Of course, this being prime candidate for a Hollywood adaptation, The Kite Runner is an utterly male-centric, culturally translatable narrative, complete with platitudes about what it means to step up and Be a Man (especially in the face of a demoralizing male rape).
There's no denying that the central conflict, between 13-year-old Amir (Zekiria Ebrahimi) and his best friend, Hassan (Ahmad Khan Mahmidzada), the lower-class Hazara son of his father's servant, is wonderfully performed by the two young actors (who recently have had to be temporarily whisked away from Kabul because of threats on their lives, due to their involvement in the discreetly filmed bully rape scene). Similarly, Iranian actor Homayon Ershadi (unforgettable in Kiarostami's Taste of Cherry) adds to his father Baba's requisite tough-and-tenderness a wise vulnerability that elevates every scene he's in. Yet all this professionalism gives way to an ill-paced, ridiculously plotted second act, which has Amir returning to contemporary, Taliban-ruled Afghanistan to rescue Hassan's son, an act that will supposedly right a wrong he had done to his boyhood friend so long ago.
The film version of The Kite Runner is less a work of passion or political commitment than an utterly expected big-screen version of a pricey hot property. It was impossible to board a city subway in the past year without seeing a passenger clutching Khaled Hosseini's bestseller (it seemed second only to Harry Potter in adult reading material). Now that it's arrived, with the Oscar-nominated pedigree of Marc Forster (who hasn't made an emotionally honest movie since his early-digital debut Everything Put Together), hopefully we can nod and move along. That more people will see The Kite Runner than Iranian master Jafar Panahi's authentic, political 2007 crowd-pleaser Offside, is a wrong that not even heroic Amir could ever make right.

Popeye's Franchise Restaurant Renovation
TBS Construction performed this fast-track franchise restaurant renovation in less than three months from start to finish. TBS Construction met with the owner in mid-April of 2011 to discuss Roanoke's first Popeye's and started work in the first part of May with a Cost-Plus contract, incomplete plans and only a demolition permit in hand. Our scope of work required us to remove the one-and-a-half stories above and return the structure to a single-story building. The work after that involved all new interior renovations and an exterior facade to meet Popeye's strict design standards. Our original completion date was to be July 28, 2011 but the opening date was successfully moved up to July 15th during construction. That's just two and a half months from start to finish with incomplete plans and permits.

Cougs give back: Support from an alumnus to a future veterinarian
February 2, 2021 Marcia Gossard - Director of Communications and Marketing
Fourth-year veterinary student Cord Kivi ('21 DVM) is the 2020 recipient of the Dr. Donald Kelts Family Veterinary Scholarship.
by Josh Babcock | Photos by Henry Moore Jr.
When Cord Kivi receives his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine this spring, he hopes to honor a veterinarian and Coug alumnus whom he's never met.
Kivi, an aspiring veterinarian since the third grade and a student at Washington State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, is the 2020 recipient of the Dr. Donald Kelts Family Veterinary Scholarship. The annual scholarship supports hardworking third-year veterinary students whose first career is in veterinary medicine.
"When I got into vet school, I couldn't ask my parents to take on more debt for my education and I found the curriculum to be too difficult to balance with a job," Kivi says. "This scholarship takes some of the financial burden off of me, so I can concentrate on what's truly important."
Kivi is the seventh student to receive the award since it was created in 2014, but Kelts ('72 DVM) has been paying it forward for WSU veterinary students who share his passion for more than 40 years. Since 1979, the now-retired veterinarian has gifted more than $140,000 to the college.
He started the Dr. Donald Kelts Family Veterinary Scholarship in the name of his wife, Terri; his son, Ian; and his daughters, Darci, Deborah and Gwendolyn.
Kivi, who is no stranger to hard work, is more than grateful.
To manage his student loans, he spent the first three summers of veterinary school on a fire engine crew that was ready to dispatch to anywhere in Kittitas County or the surrounding areas if resources were needed.
"To know I can serve the community and those animals that are a huge part of their lives is quite humbling. I feel an immense burden to prove myself to myself, my future colleagues and the Kelts family who graciously provided me with this scholarship. I hope to honor Dr. Kelts' name as a new veterinarian this spring." — Cord Kivi ('21 DVM)
With his clinical rotations beginning, he said, he was unable to do the work last summer, noting the Kelts Family Veterinary Scholarship couldn't come at a better time.
Kelts said he created the scholarship because he knows what it's like to be a veterinary student.He recalled spending one Pullman summer working at a grain elevator outside of town and his school semesters working at the Student American Veterinary Medical Association store.
In a field characterized by frequent life-changing decisions for animals, Kelts says he wants to help with the financial stressors that come studying for a degree in veterinary medicine.
For Kelts, veterinary medicine was about the thrill of solving a medical mystery to aid an animal. That passion led Kelts out of his first career as a high school science teacher in the Seattle area and across the state to WSU's College of Veterinary Medicine; it's also why he gives back.
"An animal can't tell you it hurts. It's a mystery; that's always the challenge," Kelts says. "I want others to experience that."
Kelts retired as a respected veterinarian in the Seattle area. He purchased Aerowood Animal Hospital in Bellevue, Wash., in 1975 and ran the clinic for 26 years until he sold it in 2001. He grew the clinic from four employees to about 30 during that time and expanded the clinic to provide 24-hour emergency care.
He also owned and operated Sunset Pet Hospital in Renton, Wash., for several years before selling in 2001; Kelts retired in 2008.
Kivi, nearing the start of his professional career, said he is working to ensure he puts Kelts' investment to good use, which starts with living up to the high standards of the respected veterinarian.
"To know I can serve the community and those animals that are a huge part of their lives is quite humbling. I feel an immense burden to prove myself to myself, my future colleagues and the Kelts family who graciously provided me with this scholarship," he says. "I hope to honor Dr. Kelts' name as a new veterinarian this spring."

COVID 19 Vaccine Trials: The Critical Role of Ethical eAdjudication Platform
Just weeks after the emergence of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 clinical teams around the world got ready for the big fight. Several marketed molecules were tested in accelerated settings to find out if they could be used either to fight the virus itself or to alleviate some of its most dangerous effects and, of course, preparation started for a vaccine that would help stop the spreading of the disease.
Little was known about the exact nature of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the world could only guess how the pandemic would evolve over the following months. In just ten months, several highly effective vaccines were available for use and in spite of criticism about the rate of production, resistance from ill-informed refusers and a flurry of unfounded rumors, vaccination is in good way to put an end to the most disruptive event the world has faced in a century. Ethical's eAdjudication® platform and managed service played a key role in this global effort, supporting the emergency work of renowned medical experts in the race to save the world.
Clinical severity: the outbreak
In January 2020 Chinese scientists submitted the gene sequencing data of a newly isolated coronavirus strain for posting on Virological.org, a hub for prepublication data designed to assist with public health activities and research. Earlier that week, they announced that they had isolated and fully sequenced the virus, setting off calls for full release of the details. The post was communicated by Edward Holmes, PhD, with the University of Sydney, on behalf of a Chinese group led by Yong-Zhen Zhang, PhD, with Fudan University in Shanghai.
On 11 February 2020, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses adopted the official name "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2" (SARS‑CoV‑2). Later, the respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus was officially named COVID 19 for "COronaVIrus Disease 2019". On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a global pandemic.
After an initial period of indifference and even denial by the majority of countries around the world, it became apparent that the spreading of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the disease it caused was not a local issue that could be contained to the Wuhan region in China but a highly contagious disease spreading very quickly around the globe and against which authorities had very little if any means to fight. Even simple objects such as protective masks and alcohol gel that already existed on the market were in extreme shortage, let alone specific medications or vaccines. And the odds of obtaining any such weapons against the deadly pandemic in a short enough time to make a difference seemed very low. Anti-viral medicines have proven very complicated to develop. For example, it took more than twenty years to find combinations of drugs that can contain the replication of the HIV virus in AIDS in spite of unprecedented efforts by the scientific community. Forty years after the first cases of AIDS, protective vaccines are still being tested. What were the odds that this new virus could be fought off before it would tear apart the world as we knew it?
The all-out effort
We know the rest of the story: an all-out effort was launched by all who could contribute to the fight in one way or another. As a result, a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine was ready in just ten months when time from research to manufacturing and marketing would traditionally take around ten years. This was made possible because vaccine development platforms that could quickly and easily be adapted to any target were already available. However, beyond this initial advantage, there were other steps that needed to be compressed without compromising the quality and quantity of data. Beyond the scientific reasons for having solid proof of the efficacy and safety of the vaccines, gaining the trust of the people who were constantly bombarded with contradictory information, much of it wrong or distorted, was paramount to the ultimate success of the vaccination endeavor.
Speeding up procedures without compromising data quality
The most challenging part of the vaccine development consisted in launching and running very large clinical trials in a record time. Recruiting appeared easy during the huge second wave of the pandemic but had to be carefully deployed to different regions to be sure to obtain diversity both in the human populations and in the virus variants. Administrative procedures that usually take months or even years to complete were accelerated. Then started the critical phase of data collection and assessment. Not only should the right parameters be planned in the study protocols but occasional modifications had to be made quickly, data processed in real time and assessment performed as quickly as possible by world experts to guarantee the highest quality in the shortest time. Clinical endpoint adjudication methodology and tools played, and still plays as these lines are written, a critical role in the timing and quality of the data. eAdjudication® a cloud-based platform specifically designed to allow for remote blinded assessment of clinical events was used during pivotal phase 3 trials of COVID vaccines to allow virologists, pulmonologists and other experts around the world to review cases on infection and help calculate the rate of protection the vaccine offers. Highlighting the importance of this approach in strengthening the study results and gaining public confidence, the adjudication is specifically mentioned in the package insert of certain COVID 19 vaccines that obtained authorization for emergency use.
Epilogue?
Very highly effective and safe COVID-19 vaccines have been marketed in record time, manufacturing is increasing exponentially and many countries are already close to reaching critical percentages of vaccination in the population. The battle is not entirely won yet but the world is in good shape to fight-off this unexpected pandemic and is better prepared for any forthcoming challenges.

Q: AttributeError in discord.py I'm trying to build bot that prints a message when any client creates a channel.
I'm using discord.py version 1.2.3
import discord
import discord.ext
client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def channel_create(channel):
    if discord.on_guild_channel_create():
       await print('the channel has been create ')
    return

client.run('TOKEN')

When I run it I get this error :

AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'on_guild_channel_create'

any suggestion to solve this?

A: Based on the API reference, I would say that your function needs to override on_guild_channel_create() rather than call it as part of another function.
import discord
import discord.ext
client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_guild_channel_create(channel):
    await print('the channel has been create ')
    return

client.run('TOKEN')


Going into this morning's hearing on her nomination to be the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's permanent Director, Public Justice was skeptical of whether Mick Mulvaney protege Kathy Kraninger is experienced enough for the role, or has a true dedication to the consumer watchdog's mission. Of particular concern is her connection to the administration's family separation policy through her current role at the Office of Management and Budget.
Kathy Kraninger's decision not to come clean on her connection to the administration's horrific family separation policy is disappointing. Kraninger and senators considering supporting her nomination heard precisely why at her hearing today. This evasiveness, and Kraninger's seemingly poor judgment on a number of issues while at OMB, is all the more disturbing because she would head an agency that marginalized and vulnerable people across America depend upon for their basic economic security.

2-year-old accidentally shoots mom, 1-year-old in Walmart parking lot, police say
by: Kara Sutyak, Nexstar Media Wire
GRANBURY, Texas (WJW) — Police in Texas are investigating after a mother and a 1-year-old were injured in an accidental shooting involving a 2-year-old child.
The Granbury Police Department said on Facebook that officers responded Wednesday morning to a reported shooting at a local Walmart.
Based on statements from witnesses and evidence at the scene, police said it appears the 2-year-old and a 1-year-old were inside a car, while the children's 23-year-old mother and 26-year-old father were both standing outside of the vehicle.

According to police, the 2-year-old picked up a gun that was reportedly concealed between the seat and the center console, and the gun fired once.
Police said the bullet went through the 1-year-old's leg, and through the mother's arm and into her side.
The infant's injury is not believed to be life-threatening, though the mother's injury was said to be potentially more serious.
Her condition was not immediately known.

But seriously I have this great interest in firearms and also this interest should come with a slightly above avarage's marksmanship.
I dont know why the one in Kata (Phuket shooting Range) is more famous (probably because its kinda old and everyone knows it) but there is a new shooting range in Kathu (Kathu shooting Range) that is not quite as popular as the Phuket Shooting Range but they got better/newer guns and rifles.
Its very important to observe the rules and regulations before you do anything,They will ask you to sign a Letter of indemnity to indemnify them of any demages in the event of any accidents arises from the use of their firearms.
the explotion is L O U D! as loud as when lighting strikes, go please get proper ears protection before you start firing. Ear mufflers are provided free of charge by the management.
If you are a first timer, be extra careful of the gun recoil .... after you pulled the trigger you pistol will have this "kick back" action to it, hold your gun properly as there are still life bullets in it, you do not wanna drop your gun at this point.
Take you time, do not rush ... take your time to aim, not all gun are built the same ... some have different targetting system. as such you gotta fire 1 shot to test the accuracy then adjust your sight according to the 1st bullet mark.
15 yards for test ur skill,Its like snipping with a pistol ,Other than the loud "BOOM" explotion, there is this sound that were made by the casing of the bullets when the jumped out from the pistol and drop to the floor .... that sound is the best!
First get a set of ears muffles, whether you are shooting or not! this will provide sufficient protection to your ears.
Sign some papers to indemnify them in case of any injuries arises.
Get gogle from instructor to protect your eyes (if you are not wearing any specs) For specky like me no nid extra gogle.
Sit on the chair provided and let your instructor load your firearm.
Do not point your firearms anywhere else other than the target.
once you emptied your firearms leave it on the table you are sitting on.


This is an ongoing series about people doing wonderful, interesting, unusual things with their lives. Leslie wondered how two crafty sisters could turn their handiwork into profit. So she packed up her baby, walked through downtown Keyport, New Jersey, and sat with them in their shop to find out.
Last year, I happened upon a new store in my town that gave me a glimpse into what life running a small business would be like. I was curious to see what kind of crafts the owners loved, what their backgrounds were, and where they're headed….
I asked Christina Blok, the creator of this genius idea, to share the story of how it started and why she loves her side-hustle.
Christina grew up as an avid book reader, and she's also a frequent tea drinker. "My mom has always been a tea person, and she instilled a love for tea in me and my siblings," she said.
Last year, Christina was in a stressful job that was wearing her down, and every evening, she'd come home and crave a gigantic mug of tea and a book, to help her shut down and relax. That's when the idea for Muse Monthly was born: What if you could get a great new book and a delicious tea on your door step every month? What if the tea was selected to create a cozy atmosphere that matched the theme of the book?
The Venn diagram of people who love books and people who love tea is practically a circle.

It's finally getting warmer out there – hooray!
So why not take a stroll down to The Barbican to see the new work in the gallery! We have some great fused glass work by Denise Yard.
Sarah McCormack has sent us some more work including these quirky clocks and sweet little ceramic heart tiles with beautiful shiney gold luster glazes!
And we now have Richard Glass' glass fish dotted around the gallery which are proving to be very popular!
Looking for something more 3-dimensional for your wall? Have a look at Helen Edwards new framed paper and textile pieces. Her works are stitched, folded, wooven and threaded to construct intricately detailed works of art. Very admirable and a pleasure to look at. On the left there are 3 new mosaics by Jude Freeman.
