Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to speak in support of my bill, H.R. 4851, the Kennedy-King Establishment Act of 2018.
I'd also like to thank my colleagues on the Natural Resources Committee for their prompt consideration of this bill, including Chairman Bishop and Ranking Member Grijalva.
H.R. 4851 is a bipartisan and bicameral bill with the full support of the entire Indiana Congressional Delegation, including my colleague Representative Susan Brooks, who has helped move this bill forward. I also want to thank one of my heroes, Representative John Lewis, and my friend Rep. Joe Kennedy, for joining the Hoosier Delegation as original cosponsors.
I introduced the Kennedy-King Establishment Act, at the request of my constituents, to provide formal National Park Service recognition to the site where Senator Robert F. Kennedy gave an extraordinary speech in Indianapolis in the spring of 1968. This recognition, as well as addition to the National Civil Rights Network, will help this location remains visible and accessible for the inspiration of present and future generations.
Some of my colleagues might not be aware that on April 4, 1968, Robert Kennedy had scheduled a speech in Indianapolis, Indiana during his campaign for the presidency of the United States. However, just before he was to give his remarks, Senator Kennedy was told of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. before the news became widely known publicly. His advisors said he shouldn't speak, they suggested he should just scrub the event in light of the terrible news.
But Robert Kennedy wanted to speak – despite the risks of outbursts or interruptions – he had something important to say in person and face-to-face to those gathered. He changed his planned remarks on the fly, and broke the news of Dr. King's assassination to the large crowd assembled in the local park. He called for a non-violent response to Dr. King's death.
Robert Kennedy's speech has been described as one of the greatest addresses of the 20th Century as a call for unity and non-violence in a time of great unrest. I'd like to include the text of the speech into today's record.
As we approach the 50th anniversary of RFK's speech, it becomes very clear that America needs this national treasure to be preserved and promoted beyond the residents of Indianapolis. This powerful message of non-violence in response to violence is more timely and important than ever.
The Smithsonian has described 1968 as "The Year That Shattered America." It was a time when divisions where sharp, and the morale of our country was low, many stirred up hatred and fear with venomous rhetoric, which drove people long-left out of America's bounty to the limits of their humanity -- many cities erupted in flames and violent riots.
When other cities expressed their pain, anger and disenfranchisement with destruction, Robert Kennedy's calm voice of reason changed the hearts and minds of people who were feeling so much pain.
Indianapolis was the only major city in America that did not burn in that season of pain and violent disruption. JFK was assassinated. MLK was assassinated. And just two months after RFK's emotional speech in Indianapolis, he was assassinated. But in his youth, and his ability to feel the pain of others, RFK called on those who were hurting to turn away from violence and hate, and practice what MLK practiced. This message and this special place needs to be shared with all Americans across the country -- today and in the future.
The amendment approved by the Committee will add the Kennedy-King site to a new Civil Rights Network and it will designate the location as a Commemorative Site. This is a timely first step and I look forward seeing the bill signed into law this year. And after this step, my constituents and I will continue to count on congressional support for our efforts to establish the Kennedy-King National Historic Site and a unit of the National Park System in Indianapolis, Indiana.
I urge my colleagues to vote yes on this bill and I yield back the balance of my time.


What I'd rather see when I open my eyes on a Monday morning.
Recently, we have been plagued by a novel problem: the wildlife I miss so much from our vacations has followed us home. At least that's what it seems like.
It started quite a few years ago when the city tore up the sewer pipes in our neighborhood. Some of the old clay pipes under the street were original, dating from the early 1900's. When they opened up the trenches they disturbed a decades old network of rat highways. Rats, being the resourceful creatures that they are, found a much more pleasant environment when they moved into everyone's yards, garages & attics.
We have been fighting these surprisingly smart creatures for years, with some success. Alternating sticky traps, poison and the good old snap-traps seemed to keep them in check. Right up until this year.
We had been getting an upper hand on the rats when the possums showed up. They tend to be a little slower and the dogs were able to chase them out of the yard. Or so we thought until meeting one late at night under the work table in the garage. It ran under the very cabinet Twitch had gotten the poison from and as far as we know, is still living there. It comes out at night and eats all the bait we put in the rat traps.
Throw in the ever-present squirrels, the crows having a board meeting in the redwood tree next door, and the neighbor's cats that use our fences like an interstate highway system and you have quite the ruckus in the evening. In the spring we had a bit of a mosquito problem, but that was solved by the bats that decided to move in behind our chimney.
Nature seemed so cool when She stayed out in... well...nature.
We had despaired over ever having a nice yard and a clean, pest-free garage and home until early the other morning, when we heard not one, but two owls hooting to each other in the dark. I don't know whether to laugh or cry: it seems our yard has now become a complete eco-system, with prey and the predators to keep them in check. The circle of life, the call of the wild, the "eat or be eaten" lifestyle has begun in our tiny slice of Santa Rosa.
I'm just waiting for the day I hear that tell-tale scream of a mountain lion reverberating down the street. What? It could happen. And when it does I'm leaving the garage door open, with a sign up: All You Can Eat.


A client from Powhatan purchased a remote starter for his wife's 2013 Toyota 4Runner. The client gave the starter system to his wife for as a holiday gift.
To keep clutter on her keychain to a minimum, he chose our 3x lock starter system. This system uses the factory keyless entry system fob and a special data integration module to start the SUV. All she has to do is press the lock button on the keyfob three times in short succession and the truck will start and run for 15 minutes.
The only drawback to using the factory fob is its limited remote range. Because the heart of this starter system is a Compustar, we can add long-range one- or two-way remotes at any time. She can also upgrade to the DroneMobile telematics solution for effectively unlimited range. DroneMobile works with an app on your iPhone or Android-based smartphone and a cellular receiver in the vehicle to provide control over locking, unlocking and remote start functions. GPS locating features are also available.

Grace Jordan McFadden
Grace Jordan McFadden was a university pioneer as the first African American woman hired in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and to receive tenure in that college.
Her service to the university is legendary. In 1986, she founded the Oral History and Cultural Project, making USC an important repository of information on the Civil Rights Movement in South Carolina. Her 25-part videotaped series, "The Quest for Human Rights: Oral History of Black South Carolinians," aired statewide on SCETV, and today is considered the premier model for oral history presentations.
In 1988, McFadden accepted another important challenge as director of the university's African American Studies Program. Under her leadership, major symposia and conferences were held at the university. Also active in the Columbia community, McFadden served as lead historian for the AT&T African American History Calendar. In 1985, she was a member of the group who initiated Historic Columbia's Annual Jubilee Festival of Heritage.
McFadden excelled as a teacher, and when physical limitations prevented her from teaching in the classroom, she welcomed students into her home and continued to share her love of history.
McFadden received many honors throughout her career, but her most treasured was the 2003 John McFadden Award for Outstanding Service to Youth presented by the Benjamin Elijah Mays Academy for Leadership Development at the University of South Carolina.

As a member of the avant-garde who is capable of perceiving the conspiracy before it is fully obvious to an as yet unaroused public, the paranoid is a militant leader. He does not see social conflict as something to be mediated and compromised, in the manner of the working politician. Since what is at stake is always a conflict between absolute good and absolute evil, what is necessary is not compromise but the will to fight things out to a finish. Since the enemy is thought of as being totally evil and totally unappeasable, he must be totally eliminated–if not from the world, at least from the theatre of operations to which the paranoid directs his attention. This demand for total triumph leads to the formulation of hopelessly unrealistic goals, and since these goals are not even remotely attainable, failure constantly heightens the paranoid's sense of frustration. Even partial success leaves him with the same feeling of powerlessness with which he began, and this in turn only strengthens his awareness of the vast and terrifying quality of the enemy he opposes.
[For paranoids,] America has been largely taken away from them and their kind, though they are determined to try to repossess it and to prevent the final destructive act of subversion.
The paranoid spokesman sees the fate of conspiracy in apocalyptic terms–he traffics in the birth and death of whole worlds, whole political orders, whole systems of human values. He is always manning the barricades of civilization. He constantly lives at a turning point. Like religious millennialists he expresses the anxiety of those who are living through the last days and he is sometimes disposed to set a date for the apocalypse.
The enemy is clearly delineated: he is a perfect model of malice, a kind of amoral superman–sinister, ubiquitous, powerful, cruel, sensual, luxury-loving.
He makes crises, starts runs on banks, causes depressions, manufactures disasters, and then enjoys and profits from the misery he has produced.
The higher paranoid scholarship is nothing if not coherent–in fact the paranoid mind is far more coherent than the real world. It is nothing if not scholarly in technique.

A JavaScript framework for functions of state and action
A function of state and action is a function that takes two arguments: state and action.
Functions like that are very common in the JavaScript ecosystem. For example, the reducer function used to build a Redux store is a function that takes the current state and some action and returns nothing but a new state. The render function from React can also be considered a function of state and an implicit RENDER action that returns a view and doesn't change the state. Thus, the fundamentals of React and Redux may be summed up as writing functions of state and action that return a new state and some result.
Writing such functions is easy when the state is always interpreted in the same way. That is, when the reducer never checks the contents of the state before applying a transformation to it and the render function is free of conditionals. An example reducer could always append an item to an array, regardless its previous contents. An example render function could always map over some array items, even when there are none. However, transforming the state becomes a great challenge as soon as events from the past must be taken into account. It's usually manifested in numerous Boolean flags and if statements or expressions.
Rosmaro is a JavaScript framework for writing functions of state and action. Instead of using just one model (like key-value pairs) to express the whole state, it draws a line between data-related state and behavior-related state by making use of finite state machines.
It leverages the power of the automata-based programming paradigm in order to remove the dependency of code on events from the past and provide a graph-based dispatch mechanism.
The graph file is a human readable JSON, thus it may be written by hand. However, it's a lot more fun to use the Rosmaro visual editor that makes Rosmaro a visual programming framework.
The framework is functional and stands on the shoulders of giants like Redux Saga and Redux, what gives access to all the tools we know and love. Time travel debugging is a breeze even when asynchronous actions are involved.
Keeping the reducer, the render function and the code that returns an effect close to each other makes the node code cohesive. Rosmaro doesn't just output a bunch of data. It decides which function should handle the current state. Yet, thanks to the graph-based dispatch nodes are totally decoupled from each other and even from the past!
The CLI tool can automatically associate the nodes you draw with the code you write. Additionally, if you decide to use it, it provides a nice hierarchical directory convention.
Selectors we know from Redux are a wonderful way to consume narrow pieces of the state. The code working with it can assume that it is going to be given exactly what it expects in the exact format it expects. Rosmaro takes it one step further and by utilizing Ramda lenses allows not only to consume, but also alter a narrow slice of the data-related state.
Even though Rosmaro opts for the smallest number of building blocks, its state machines support multiple techniques of dealing with composition and state explosion, like subgraphs, node multiplication, orthogonal regions and entry points.
Don't fight with Boolean flags! Draw changes of behavior!

Labour wants to make hospitals safer. The Conservative response is pathetic.
John Ranson
Support us and go ad-free
The Labour Party has set out concrete plans for making the NHS safer. And the Conservative response has been to retreat into cloud cuckoo land.
The NHS is facing many challenges due to years of deliberate Tory underfunding and the legacy of calamitous Private Finance Initiatives. One problem is that there simply aren't enough nurses. And it's not hard to see why. Nurses, like many public sector workers, have borne the brunt of austerity. A combination of pay freezes and capped rises means nurses have had a real terms pay cut of 14% since David Cameron and George Osborne took the nation's reins in 2010.
Labour aims to tackle the crisis of recruitment and retention in the nursing profession by removing the cap on pay rises and reversing the government's plan to scrap training bursaries. Shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth pointed out that low staffing levels are "a threat to patient safety". And this is backed up by recent research.
But BBC reporting of Ashworth's announcement chose to parrot the Tory response, while casting doubt on Labour's economic sums. Most troublingly, it included the line:
But the Conservatives said Labour's nonsensical economic policies would put the health service at risk.
Maybe the writer simply forgot to put the word "nonsensical" in quotation marks, which would have shown it was merely the opinion of Health Minister Philip Dunne. Although he didn't forget when misquoting Ashworth as saying staffing shortages had become a "threat to patients".
This casual swipe at Labour's economic competence led into a party political broadcast:
Here's how to keep politicians in check regarding coronavirus evidence
The House of Lords is debating whether to destroy the NHS once and for all
'A strong NHS needs a strong economy. Only Theresa May and the Conservatives offer the strong and stable leadership we need to secure our growing economy and with it, funding for the NHS and its dedicated staff,' Health Minister Philip Dunne added.
Although actually, this merely highlights the poverty of Conservative policymaking. While Labour is plotting a real course to steer the NHS out of trouble, the Tories are asleep at the wheel. They seem to think that they can rely on their economic record. Even though that record is one of making endless cuts and still failing to meet targets for reducing the deficit.
Vote NHS
The NHS was the top issue for voters at the last general election. This time, it's likely to play a supporting role to Brexit. But Labour's strong early moves show it's determined to be the party of the NHS. And given the Tories' limp response and atrocious record, surely removing them from any involvement in our healthcare is a matter of the greatest importance.
– Register to vote in the 8 June general election. If you don't have a national insurance number, a 5 minute phone call on 0300 200 3500 will get it sent to you in ten days.
– Discuss the key policy issues with family members, colleagues and neighbours. And organise! Join (and participate in the activities of) a union, an activist group, and/or a political party.
– Also read more Canary articles on the 2017 general election.

Really? If this were autumn 2000, and not 2008, I might be inclined to agree. But it's been too long, much too long since Axl Rose was in any way relevant. (Notice that I'm referring to Axl specifically, and not the band; the band hasn't existed since Izzy Stradlin bolted.) This isn't GN'R, it's a solo project.

The inevitable will be happening...until Axl flakes, that is.
As of three years ago, the relationship between Guns N' Roses' founding lineup was so sour Axl Rose chose to sit out of the band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Now, though, Rose has let bygones be bygones and, in 2016, he'll give fans the reunion they so have long desired.
According to multiple sources with knowledge of the band's plans, Guns N' Roses will reunite to headline Coachella 2016. Meanwhile, Billboard reports that the band also plans to embark on a stadium tour spanning as many as 25 dates.
The band's exact lineup is unclear, though Axl, Slash, Duff McKagan are all involved, sources tell CoS. Matt Sorum is believed to be behind the kit in place of Steven Adler. An official announcement is imminent.
Guns N' Roses' founding lineup last performed together in July 1993. The band has had several chances to reunite since then, though it seems this latest opportunity was too big and rich to pass up. According to Alex Martel, founder of Canada's Rock Fest, GNR are asking for offers of at least eight million per show.
Along with Guns N' Roses, LCD Soundsystem will reunite to headline Coachella's 2016 edition. A full lineup announcement is expected in early January.
Haha, yep. Too smart to show up, as he has been for 20+ years now.
Coachella might happen, but if they make it to even two dates of a tour I'll eat my copy of Chinese Democracy.

It's a great time to be a PC gamer.
Both AMD and Nvidia have brought out the big guns this graphical generation with their Pascal and Polaris chips, and we can say with certainty they are awesome graphics cards.
But do we really need one right now?
It's no secret that PC hardware has become increasingly expensive.
With the low-end Radeon RX 460 setting you back around R2,000, there's no denying that these cards are a serious investment.
It doesn't help that the Rand has weakened considerably since the last graphics generation, driving local prices higher.
Add to this the fact that the previous generation of cards' pricing has just dropped through the floor and we can think of a couple of thousand reasons to hold off on this generation, not just five.
As with every graphics card generation (and PC gaming as a whole), there will always be better cards on the horizon.
With AMD already planning to announce its new Vega cards as early as January 2017, it might actually be a smart approach to adopt a "wait and see" attitude.
Nvidia's Volta cards will also supposedly follow not long after, with the first arriving some time around May 2017.
Those of you who own a Geforce GTX 960/970/980 can attest that the cards are still incredible value for money.
If you are a gamer who's already invested in a graphics card in the last two years (and maybe three at a stretch), there's no shame in holding out a little while longer.
As mentioned in the above pricing segment, the previous generation of cards are now also available at a much more affordable rate, making them a genuine consideration for anyone looking to upgrade.
There's no denying that the latest cards are graphical powerhouses and the longstanding benchmark of 1080p at 60 frames-per-second has long been blown out of the water.
However even Nvidia's powerhouses have disappointed in giving us a consistent 6o frames-per-second in 4K titles.
The good news is next year's cards will likely be the first to hit this benchmark consistently.
The bad news is that it's probably wise to hold off if this is a standard you truly care about.
Hear me out – this is actually the best time to get into console gaming, with two new consoles on the horizon and a healthy catalogue of games to play them on.
You can finally check out all those console exclusives you wanted to, and chances are you can pick up a brand new PS4 or Xbox One for less than the price of a GTX 1070.


CfL in Northern Ireland is officially up and running after our launch at the Ulster Reform Club last week.
With over 60 people attending and lots of sound conversations taking place, some people were even heard to say that this was the best political event they'd attended in a long time, giving us great hope for the future.
We even had a few people who weren't members of the the Conservative Party turn up, being genuinely interested by what we had to say.
Alex Kane was superb, providing a general overview of the situation at Stormont which was comedy genius in places and chilling in others.
Thank you to all those great people who attended – and for those who couldn't make it, we will see you next time.
We're not stopping with this. More events are planned – our first Beoir & Bletherin' (see what we've done there?) takes place on the 2nd September at the House Bar and Kitchen on Stranmillis Road. We have a Christmas Dinner that a former Secretary of State has agreed to speak (frankly) at also in the pipeline. All in all, we hope to have four events of various sizes and themes prior to Christmas. Not a bad way to get going!
If you want to join you can do so here. Please give it some serious thought – it's well worth it.
We're also on the lookout for people to help with our campaigns that are about to go live. Anyone with research or analytical skills is particularly welcome to get in touch at ni@con4lib.com.
Find more photographs of the event on Facebook, or the full set of pictures from the night on Flickr.

Shogun-Machida II: A Pound For Pound Star Returns
By	Brian D'Souza

Shogun-Machida II: A pound-for-pound star returns
The road to a championship belt is an exhaustive journey—it can be harder to hold on to a title than it is to earn it, something understood with the revolving door of Light Heavyweight title holders in the UFC. Since Rampage Jackson defeated Dan Henderson at UFC 75 back in 2007, only one 205er—Lyoto Machida—been able to successfully defend the strap. However, take away the judges scorecards, and many believe Machida failed in his last outing against Shogun Rua last October.
Says Machida of their first fight, "After analyzing the fight and thinking about the fight, I still feel the judges made the right choice."
Is it conceivable that Lyoto could acknowledge the prospect of defeat? After all, many times an athlete will acknowledge that the decision could have gone either way, as Jim Miller graciously admitted after a close call with Mark Bocek at UFC 111.
"I think it was a controversial fight," said Rua, however, he was willing to admit that judging is subjective, "Some people thought I won the fight and some people thought I lost."
We say that there's truth in the ring, and that deep down inside, the fighters know what really happened. The man who absorbed more punishment has to live with an inner truth that no statistic on power connects or slow motion replay can reveal. With that being said, the mere fact that Machida can't allow any sliver of doubt to permeate his mindset suggests a mental defense mechanism rather than the self-assuredness that he will outperform Shogun this time out.
The familiarity of a second encounter will only work to Shogun's advantage as he commits to his takedowns and again breaks Machida's passive-aggressive rhythm of striking. Shogun's chin has been nothing short of iron against the very best fighters available, and there's little reason to believe he'll get stopped by Machida at this point.
Lyoto commented on the popular idea that a challenger has to win by a large margin by saying this, "I don't believe the challenger needs to take the belt from the champion. It should be judged round by round and fairly." If this is a reflection of his mindset, than perhaps he has complete faith in the precision strikes that have kept him undefeated for sixteen fights—but unless he changes his game plan dramatically, it's probable he'll again eat the same leg kicks as before.
The bad aftertaste of the unpopular judges' decision at UFC 104 will taint this fight and raise the stakes: the winner here will actually get credit for two wins. In modern MMA, it has become more important to eke out the 'W' than to win impressively—so expect a repeat performance of the first fight with a different verdict being read when it's all over.

The first fight ended in controversy. What will we see on May 8th from the Belle Centre in Montreal?


Finally! We've just finished up the first batch (hopefully of many to come) of REPLACEMENT X and Y axis leadnuts for your X2 Mini-Mill. If you're just ever-so-frustrated with backlash on your mill, this is the easiest and least expensive way to reduce backlash to a manageable level. In fact, just as you have seen on our ACME kits, we're able to get backlash to just about a few thou without breaking a sweat.
Don't even bother messing with your stock brass leadnuts. Seriously. We've tried with marginal results (still better than stock, of course), but our replacement leadnuts made of Acetal/Delrin will be the easiest way to go to permanently reduce backlash on your X2 Mini-Mill. And, if you start noticing backlash, just adjust it out using the set screws. Easy!
Of all the kits we offer, we think this is the best bang for the buck!
For a limited time, we're offering a $5.00 discount off these kits. We'll ship it USPS Priority Mail and have plenty in stock at present.
We have been busy with shop reorganization and such so, we're still slow to get the old workshop back online.
However… we are now launching a much-anticipated product for you X2 mini-mill owners who are tired of backlash and don't want to upgrade to our ACME leadscrew kit.
We are now selling replacement leadnuts made of Acetal/Delrin with the same split-nut design in our popular ACME leadnuts that'll reduce backlash of your STOCK leadscrew to less than a few thousandths.
Stay tuned for pricing – we just got the tooling in and are running the first batch now.


We will give you 25% off a studio sample of our USB and print presentation products so you can wow your clients in studio or at shows and events.
Design your product in TED and add it to your cart. Your sample can be either branded or unbranded. In your cart simply choose 'Studio Sample' from the dropdown to receive 25% off.

25 December 2015 – Cone Nebula (NGC2264)
It's been awhile since I last shot deep sky objects and here's a HaRGB of Cone Nebula (NGC 2264) to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! NGC 2264 is sometimes referred to as a Christmas Tree Cluster. Fox Fur Nebula and Snowflake Nebula are also visible in the image. Total imaging time: 7 hours.

Rare Never-Before-Seen Camelopardalids Meteor Shower in May 2014!
A new never-before-seen major meteor shower, the Camelopardalids meteor shower, awaits us during the nights of 23 and 24 May 2014 as Earth passes through the debris streams of dust that's ejected by Comet 209P/Linear back in the 1800s! The result could be a powerful meteor outburst with up to 200 meteors per hour during its peak! Unlike other radiant points which go from east to west, this one remains in the night sky revolving around the North Polaris star because Camelopardalids is a circumpolar constellation. A circumpolar constellation is a constellation that never sets or never disappears below the horizon when viewed from a given latitude on Earth. The recommended time to look at it is between 2pm to 4pm SGT and yes you're reading it right! So we're going to miss it because the peak occurs when it's daytime here in Singapore!!! People living in the US, Canada and part of Europe will have much better luck and you prolly need a miracle to take place if you're trying to see it fr...
May 2014 Twilight Wonders of Mount Bromo Astrophotography Tour
At the time of writing this blog post, I've just sent off the first astrophotography tour group with a heavy heart. Generally the weather was good (albeit with occasional clouds) and we managed to capture the essence of every celestial moment at the right time and from the right location. Above image is a single exposure shot of 9 native Indonesians praying in front of the ancient Pura Luhur Poten temple, which holds a significant importance to the Tenggerese tribe, to ask for blessings in Mount Bromo. On the 2nd night, we were greeted by a rare scene where Mount Bromo was once again engulfed by the fog (sea of clouds) and the final image was similar to the one I shot last year just one night before the peak of Eta Aquarid meteor shower. We have also witnessed and captured a number of Aquarid meteors streaking across the night sky just few hours before dawn. I've also shared with the keen group of photographers on the basics of astrophotography, including the techniques used...

Photography copyright law can be confusing. Learn the most important points in this easy-to-read infographic.
Ever since British photographer David Slater had his camera snatched by a primate in Indonesia, the subject of image copyrights has been a hot debate. The crested black macaque who grabbed Slater's camera accidentally took a selfie, and photographers have since argued whether the resulting image belongs to Slater or the public domain.
Check out the latest on copyright law in this helpful infographic by Clifton Cameras and tell us what you think: Should David Slater own the copyright to his animal-snapped selfie?


Mike Sowden is todays guest ready for the latest Join Up Dots podcast interview.
Mike is a man who from the first moments of his life has been wandering the world.
Born on an RAF base in Germany, he grew up in Cyprus.
Then he was reluctantly brought to the United Kingdom by his parents as a teenager.
And what did he do?
The young Mike Sowden instantly complained about the rain…..get over it….that's what we have in the United Kingdom.
Was the travelling a chore? Was the moving from country to country the thing that our guest dreaded.
The experiences, different cultures, and contrasting landscapes embedded a love of adventure.
Imagery and story combined as something he knew could take him on a path that was true to his unique self.
Mike loved the idea of being a professional travel writer.
So even though he knew his path, and knew what he wanted to create, he still only focused on his dream as a side project, until after what he believed was a "heart-attack" he finally started the action that he needed to kick everything off.
Quitting his job, Mr Sowden is now at the time of writing a freelance writer of no clearly fixed abode.
We might find him in the UK, escaping to the Mediterranean, or as he says "even gallivanting across some bleak European hillside, bound for disaster" – which is how he finds material to write about.
Well let's bring onto the show to start joining up dots, as we discuss the words of Steve Jobs with the one and only Mr Mike Sowden.
How something that can seem like the worse thing in the world, might actually be a blessing in disguise!
How by confronting the thing that frightens you most is the thing you should always do!
How Russell Crowe is not the best actor at doing accents in the world!
How we all know our passions that can lead to the life of our dreams, if we only look closely enough!

Star Wars is fine. Star Trek is fine. 6 out of 10. I don't like echo chambers and Murray forums sorry.
I give Star Wars 3 out of 10 and Star Trek 10 out of 10 (and still underrated). They say Gene Roddenberry and Jules Verne were the two most advanced minded writers ever.
And I don't like obnoxious fans.
I also highly recommend Primal Fear btw. I really think you will like it. Just please don't watch the trailer.
-NN-
I mean look at the Alien trailer. If I'd have seen it I'd have never watched the film.
That's the idea though? Because it doesn't give away anything. When the trailers make you want to watch the film, that's when you know they won't be good, generally speaking.
Zara said:
Trailers never make me want to watch films. Show me a trailer that would leave me curious about what's inside a movie.
Trailers never make me want to watch films.
That's fine but you do watch trailers. And I believe you didn't mind SLY and SLP trailers all that much.
That was to check other things but trailers don't tend to have a positive impact on my interest levels for a movie. Generally I avoid trailers.
Reactions: gn and Zara
Which did you like best?
For me it's probably 3 because I adore Bonnie.
For me, it's 3rd due to emotional factor. Although I watched them all at one go, many kids who has grown up watching the first two would have felt emotional since the gap between 2nd & 3rd is 11 years. I guess many were in Andy's shoes.
Are you a fan of animated movies in general? Which others do you like?
Kid Cannabis. It is OK.
I am a fan of fantasy movies. I can't pick one particular animated movie since I like them all. But I like Timon and Pumbaa and Ben 10 television series the most. The recent movies that I have watched Toy Story films, Despicable Me 3 and Moana. Though I have planned to watch a few of them like The Lion Kings,UP, Shrek and the rest of the Despicable Me. What else do you suggest? What kind of movies do you like?

I like a lot of animated movies.. it's probably the type of movie that has the highest chance of satisfying me lol.
You can't go far wrong with The Lion King, or most Walt Disney classics for that matter. Still a lot for me to catch up on and I really want to watch Moana so I might get around to that soon. I HIGHLY recommend How to Train Your Dragon. Kung Fu Panda is a lot of fun too.
Rubbish. Just watch it for my sake and then you can give me grief later as usual; that is, if you don't like it.
Oh that "I have watched something good and I want to share it with someone" feeling.
I will add How to Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda to my list then. And you really should watch Moana with this man voicing for one of lead characters.
Love sports movies too - though haven't actually seen many of them they tend to please.
I've already watched three of her recommendations in the last week or two so what more does she want?
I'll watch Moana soon enough and get back to you.
@-NN- Good to see someone like animation movies against "grown ups should not watch kid's movies" stereotyping.
Reactions: -NN-
There are so many more I want to watch though. I guess my list is 50 or so long? And I know I'm going to love most of them. For starters, I want to complete the classic Walt Disney catalogue as well as the Studio Ghibli catalogue, so that alone is probably 30-40 movies. I haven't seen any of the classics from Walt Disney after Mulan other than Atlantis, and look how many have been released since 1998/2001.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Walt_Disney_Animation_Studios_films
One of my favourite scenes from any animated movie...
Would you two like to kiss each other now?
You should be thankful for the rest of your life for SLP. I kept my promise. I made you cry here, there and everywhere. Mission accomplished.
You kept your promise long before that.

It is a good movie and very well done, but I think I started watching very late at night and after watching that far I put it off, because I felt I needed to go to bed and finish it the next day, and for some reason, I could never find the time to finish it. I know it sounds rather lame but funny story, I am also hiding from my co-worker Sheriff who is also after me for not finishing it. lmho!
I really promise that one of these days I will finish it.
Gawd, I could never watch Star Wars and I've made so many failed attempts. Star Trek more aligns with my ideas (or the way I think) whereas Star Wars just feels plain dumb. I never get it. lol
Lol! No shame in disliking the Star Wars universe. Episodes 1,2,3 put a bad taste in my mouth but they did that for everyone. I've watched the recent Star Trek movies, enjoyed them but still lost at certain times.
Why did you watch the trailer? I never do. I tend to cook up my own plot after watching the trailer and then when I actually watch the film, I find it so different than what I'd imagined, so that sort of ruins it.
Mother! is a very difficult movie to watch. I wonder if it affected Jennifer Lawrence mentally somehow. Wasn't an easy performance by any means.
They say Alien had the best trailer of all time. I tend to agree.
Teaser trailers do make the best trailers. I've been going to the movies often ever since I got this movie pass and let me tell you how sick I am of watching the same old trailers so I've learned to get to the movies about 10-15 mins after movie start time unless it's a big movie where seats will be scarce haha.
Just watched Marshall tonight. Great movie, highly recommended. Put it on your list!

"Blow-Up"
Queen of Katwe (2017) - about a young girl in Uganda who becomes a chess Master (the youngest).
A United Kingdom (2017) - Interesting (romantic) bio movie about the struggles in Bechuanaland (now Botswana).
Started Sweetie (1989) - abandoned after 30 minutes or so, too many nude scenes. Directed by Jane Campion.
Bright Star (2009) - by Jane Campion. About the final years of John Keats and his relationship with Fanny Brawne and Charles Armitage Brown.
Very interesting story of Keats' life. Brown later moved to Italy and then New Zealand with his son.
Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2. I liked Cat Steven's Father and Son song in it.
Started Missing (1982) with Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek. Historical drama about a journalist who goes missing in Chile.
I watched about 6 from the list - #31,37,39,48,53,56

Last Movie Watched: Modern Romance (dir. Albert Brooks)

The Foreigner. I do like Jackie Chan but this was perhaps his worst movie. Terrible writing.
Went to see Thor last night. It was excellent.
Went to The death of Stalin. It was ok although a bit annoying trying to remember who was who. I liked the way they all spoke in their own accents, I thought that worked.
"Missing" was interesting, intense.
Started Fair Game (2010) with Naomi Watts and Sean Penn. Biographical based on autobiographies of a CIA agent and her diplomat husband.
Recent Star Trek movies (the prequels) aren't all that good though watched all of them. Too much action and much less substance as with all other sci-fi these days - no build up just straight to action. I really like the old ones. Every one likes Wrath of Khan but my personal favourite is The Motion Picture (1979) and also, The Undiscovered Country (1991).
But if you go in 10-15 minutes after the movie start time, aren't you running the risk of missing those moments? I can see getting away with a rom com but well built and serious movies tend to have all scenes really well crafted and leaves a lot of clues in every scene. Or do you mean the trailers just before the movie starts that tend to go on forever? Then that's brilliant though I won't take the risk because I like a nice seat! One of my EXs had the tendency to run late in movies and that would always **** me off and it especially pissed me off one time when we couldn't get any decent seats, so had to take one those very front seats where you basically have to look up to the screen in order to see the movie and that night I remember coming home with a stupid neck pain.
Will check out Marshall, yes. Looks to have a dashing story.
Are you busy quoting yourself? Awww...
Spot-on. Arrive 10-15 after start time. Not a second too early.
Fair Game was interesting, too. Scooter Libby, Karl Rove, a 500 tonne sale of yellowcake uranium, aluminum tubes for enrichment, and of course the Bush administration and Iraq.
Yup. Now busy quoting you

I saw Spiderer Man Home coming. It was not too bad. I was surprised to see Iron Man in Spider man movie.

but i like being early. i like a nice seat. i don't watch the trailers instead i fiddle with my phone. and tune myself out.
quote me away. you are cute...just like me. lol
Have you seen The Kite Runner? it's so good.
Sounds very interesting. Strange that I would have missed it considering I have seen a bunch of movies from that region (actually Iran). Must get it.
Started The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004) - Sean Penn, Naomi Watts.
Hahaha that reminds me, I had a friend that used to be a stoner. He had to smoke up before every movie we went to. The movie would be starting at 10pm and he'd be like yo I need to smoke and I look at the time, it's 9:55 and we are at least 10 mins away. What's worse is I don't smoke and we would miss the first 5 mins of every movie!!!!!!!! Arghhhhh. But thankfully he's given up that lifestyle lol.
That's why he's an EX. You choose your priorities
I saw Blade Runner today, it was good. I think I was tired so I may have been close to dozing off but I still managed to watch it all and enjoy it.
Okay movie. Bits of Taxi Driver.
Netflix has recently launched it but I saw it a few years back. Maybe around 2012/2013. It's very well made and has a very compelling story. It's definitely your kind of movie. That's why I am recommending it to you. Let me know once you've watched it.

If you have been served with an Emergency Protection Order (also known as EPO) then you have an upcoming court date in the Court of Queens Bench (QB) within 10 days of the complainant getting the Order in Provincial Court. The court review date in QB will be stated at the bottom of the EPO form.
Although the complainant went to Provincial Court and provided their side of events to a Judge who gave the complainant the protection order, the review date is when you have the opportunity to respond. At the review, you can defend yourself and fight to have the EPO removed or changed if your information persuades the Judge that there is no actual threat and /or fear worthy of an EPO. Often on the court review date, your lawyer negotiate with the complainant's lawyer and resolve matters in a way which suits both sides. However, there are specific deadlines for filing documents and when the position of each side is too far apart, a full hearing set for another day before a Judge may be required to have a decision rendered.
There isn't a lot of time to get ready for court, so give my assistant Pam a call at (403) 452-3565.
You may also have been charged with Assault and/or Uttering Threats and have an upcoming criminal court appearance date. I can represent you on that matter as well, visit our Domestic Assault page for more information or call my assistant Pam at (403) 452-3565.

Diocese of Adilabad
Bishop Panengaden
A total of 2,740,000 people live in the diocesan territory with the tribal Khond community forming the main ethnic group.
Four main languages -- Telugu, Marathi, Urdu and Hindi -- as well as several tribal dialects are spoken.
The diocese of Adilabad was erected on July 23, 1999, when Pope John Paul II split the diocese of Chanda, which spread over the areas in the two provincial states of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. The territory in Andhra Pradesh was awarded to the new diocese. Its 16,210 square kilometers cover the civil district of Adilabad in the northernmost part of the state.
Four political parties dominate the local political structure: the Indian National Congress, Telugu Desam Party, Telangana Rashtra Samithi and Bharatiya Janata Party. The influence of armed Maoist rebels called Naxalites on the district is strong.
A road network connects most of the villages, and a railway route passes through the district.
Annual per capita income is Rs 18,581 ($405) as of June 2006. Cement, coal, cotton, timber, paper and porcelain pipes are the major industries. The main agricultural crops are: rice, millet, lentils, onion and wheat.
Telecommunications services in the diocesan territory are sufficient. Cell phone signals are widely available in the district even in the remotest villages. There is one radio broadcasting station in Adilabad.
The literacy rate in the diocesan territory is 54.4 percent.
The people of Adilabad love to display their cultural talents in public. Tribal dances are also popular. The district is also known for handicrafts, including wooden toys.

For years, at the conclusion of public worship, I have used words that come from St. Paul, written 2,000 years ago.
"Go into the world in peace and courage.
Hold to the Good.
Honor all God's children.
Love and serve the Lord,
Rejoicing in the power of the Spirit."
Last Sunday, as a guest preacher at Westminster Presbyterian Church, Grand Rapids, Michigan, when I came to the words "Hold to the Good" I almost couldn't go on. The news from Pittsburgh Saturday morning stood as a contradiction to those words and to everything I hold dear and regard as essential to our life together….
…the trust that in the eternal struggle between good and evil, good will ultimately prevail,
…the trust that the heart of the nation I love, its government and politicians, is essentially fair, honest and good,
…the hope that the long arc of history bends, as Martin Luther King, Jr. said it did, toward justice.
The slaughter of eleven Jewish worshippers at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh by a rabid anti-Semite was not only horrifying, it was a clear contradiction of the optimistic hope I have always carried and held dear.
I am appalled that the wealth and accumulated power of the National Rifle Association has produced the insanity that anyone in the nation with an ounce of creativity can find a way to purchase a military style semi-automatic weapon, specifically designed to kill as many human beings as quickly and efficiently as possible.
I am equally appalled that our president and Republican leaders of Congress are so in thrall to the NRA that they refuse even to discuss common sense gun control.
I am appalled and dismayed that the President of the United States continues to spew hateful, racist rants aimed at immigrants, even ordering 5,000 battle-ready troops to the border to confront an "invasion" of poor and desperate Central Americans, mostly women and children, who naively continue to see our country as a haven for the oppressed. And then refusing to acknowledge and even denying that his provocative rhetoric comforts people like the Pittsburgh shooter and inspires people like the Florida pipe-bomber to cowardly violence. Of course it does. How could it not?
I am appalled that a sizable portion of my fellow citizens support him, as do Republican leaders of our Congress.
I turned to a book that has become a good friend over the years, Rabbi Irving Greenberg's For the Sake of Heaven and Earth: The New Encounter Between Judaism and Christianity. The author is an ordained Orthodox Rabbi with a Harvard PhD, past chairman of the United States Holocaust Museum and Chair of the Department of Jewish Studies at City College of the City University of New York. Rabbi Greenberg introduced me to the Hebrew words and concept of "tikkun olam", to repair and heal the world, what Jews and Christians are to be about in the world. Greenberg says tikkun olam is what God has been doing from the beginning. "It was always God's plan to bring the vision of redemption to more of humanity….the group that would bring the message of redemption to the rest of the nations would have to grow out of the family and covenanted community of Israel."
We should already know it, but Greenberg eloquently reminds us that Jews and Christians are family, close relatives, cousins, partners in God's great work of redemption. Reading Greenberg always makes me think and gives me hope and it did so again.
So we must all hold our close relatives in prayer, reach out in words of comfort, stand side by side with our Jewish neighbors in this most recent racist outrage, and remember together, even in dark and discouraging times, that our God-given and God-blessed vocation is to keep on repairing the world… tikkun olam.
Another precious reminder came in the words of Tree of Life Synagogue Rabbi Jeffrey Myers at the community Memorial Service in Pittsburgh, "Love is how you defeat hate."

Nancy Winters says:
I was hoping for this one. Thank you for it.
It has been annus horribilis for this little family in Grand Bend Ontario Canada. We lost Hank to cancer. A nine year war of hope and fear and ultimate defeat. He was our hero. And now I am halfway through a hip replacement healing. I know that you have been there and done that. It is a comfort to remember your first slowed stride down the aisle at Fourth Church.
Healing is a consummation to be wished wherever we look. This American (yes, we joined up before we came home) joins you in praying for the healing of the disease that has overtaken your people. Do you see a surrogate Messiah in the wings?
With love to Sue

Jan Lohs says:
Thank you, John, for continuing to be a voice of good, compassion, and hope in these dark times. I am always grateful to you, and for you, when I read your words.
Life Turnings says:
Thank you, John. Thank you.
Carolann Zaha says:
I used to hang on your words whenever I listened to your sermons at 4th Pres. church. To have these innocents at a babynaming is beyond sad and horrific. We need to pray without ceasing that this violence is a cancer in our society that God will help cure by turning people's hearts. God be with you always….
Gordon C. Stewart says:
Thank you again, John. I've been working on an Open Letter to the American Churches. Every time I think it's ready, I tear it up or delete, delete, delete.
Reblogged this on Views from the Edge and commented:
This "Hold to the Good" essay speaks for many of us.
June A. Huissen says:
Thank you so very much for your courageous words today.
Jim Wood says:
Dr. Buchannan,
I've recently been introduced to you several of your sermons by a former member of Fourth Presbyterian Church, John Hall, M.D. As a lifelong resident of Pittsburgh until moving to Hilton Head over seven years ago, I too was deeply moved and upset by the acts of unspeakable violence by an evil individual last Saturday. I agreed with everything you said until you made the type of political statements that tend to further divide us. First, I've never owned a gun and probably will never own one. I do agree that some common sense gun control measures are called for. Where you really missed the mark, and did not ring true to your stature as a Presbyterian leader was when you implicitly blamed President Trump for all of the hate that exists in this country. Although I voted for him, I am not a big fan. However to blame him for the hatred when there is an incredible amount of venom spewed from the leftists in this country, including much of the media, every day, is simply irresponsible and woefully simplistic. The rhetoric on both sides is wrong and not in keeping with what our country should stand for. Shame on you for including those paragraphs. As a lifelong Presbyterian, I am appalled. Statements like this are a prime example of why so many people have left the Presbyterian church. Quite frankly, those paragraphs, if they belong anywhere, are better left to reporters from CNN or MSNBC.
Jan Niemeyer says:
Thank you John. May we all by God's grace, hold to the good without ceasing.
Blessings and Shalom.
David Handley says:
John, thank you for your stirring words that give voice to our deepest anguish and longings. Lifting up Rabbi Greenberg's reminder of the fundamental mission of Jews and Christians together, to "repair the world" and Rabbi Myers' words from the unspeakable grief his people at Tree of Life Synagogue are experiencing, "Love is how you defeat hate," are like light shining in darkness. Thank you!

Резерв Армії (), або також Територіальні сили чи Територіальна армія () — організований активний резерв Британської армії, укомплектований приписним особовим складом, оснащений зброєю і військовою технікою, який утримується у постійній бойовій та мобілізаційній готовності, невід'ємна складова сухопутних військ Великої Британії.

Історія
Резерв Армії сформувався в 1908 році за ініціативою державного воєнного секретаря Р.Голдейна, як Територіальні сили. Законодавчим актом для заснування цієї структури став Акт 1907 року про Резерві сили, у відповідності до якого об'єднувалися цивільні Добровольчі сили та кавалерійські підрозділі Територіальних добровольчих частин йоменів. З початком процесу об'єднання різнорідні підрозділи були уніфіковані в штатній структурі, отримали однакову військову форму, екіпірування та оснащення й після реорганізації стали територіальними батальйонами регулярної армії Британії. Водночас, Лондонський, Монмутширський та Гартфордширський полки зберегли свою унікальність та залишили деякі ознаки ідентичності.

1 квітня 1908 року сталося офіційне формування Територіальних сил, які нараховували 14 піхотних дивізій та 14 кінних бригад йоменів. Загальна чисельність військ становила 269 000 військовиків.

Основним завданням Територіальних сил була виключно територіальна оборона Британських островів, деякі підрозділи залучалися до охорони правопорядку в містах та селищах в ролі констеблів та бальї. З часом функції розширювалися й особовий склад Територіальної армії став залучатися до посилення регулярних частин британської армії.

Зазвичай резервісти мали основною цивільну роботу або професію, що було до нагоди у випадках, коли вони могли суміщати свої навички та знання зі службою в армії. Так, багато резервістів служили в медичних підрозділах.

East Carolina Pirate Fan Base Serves As Model for College Football Fans
thinkpathtraining
HURRICANES AND HOPE
In 1999 Hurricane Floyd ravaged eastern North Carolina leaving behind in its wake a path of destruction and misery. Hurricane Floyd has been called the worst natural disaster to ever hit North Carolina. Lives were lost, families were up rooted and towns were left to deal with the devastation of a once in every 500 year flood.
One eastern North Carolina town hit particularly hard by Hurricane Floyd was Greenville, North Carolina. Greenville is home to East Carolina University and its 26,000 student population. East Carolina University serves as a vital economic and cultural engine for the region and its people. East Carolina football is also vital to the region as it provides both a financial and emotional boost to those living in eastern North Carolina.
Both the University and its football team however, were dealt significant blows immediately after the storm. The flooding from Hurricane Floyd was so substantial in Greenville, for example, that it forced ECU to shut down classes for nearly two weeks. The damage also kept the Pirate Football team from returning home after their away game the previous week in which they played and beat the USC Gamecocks in Columbia, South Carolina.
The Pirates, who were scheduled to play the number 9 ranked Miami Hurricanes in Greenville the following weekend, had to move the game to Carter Finely Stadium in Raleigh NC( two hour drive from Greenville), home to the North Carolina State Wolfpack.
On Sept 25, 1999, 46,000 thousand people, the vast majority of whom were ECU fans, packed Carter Finely stadium and watched one of the most important football games in East Carolina history. Many of the fans who were in attendance that night had lost their homes, personal belongings and means of income due to the ravages of the storm. The fans who had traveled to Raleigh to see the Pirates play had traveled to witness more than a football game, they had also traveled to find a glint of hope. Time and time again ECU had beaten teams they were not supposed to beat and now more than ever the ECU faithful needed Pirate football to create a special form of magic on the gridiron. Magic that could transcend the difficulties they were experiencing if only for a few hours on this Saturday evening in September into something more positive than the previous days storm drama.
Those who attended the game in Raleigh and those who watched it on tv had their loyalty rewarded with an improbable 27-23 come from behind Pirate victory. More than just a win over 9th ranked Miami, however, the game also provided Pirate fans with a promise about the future. A promise to the people of eastern North Carolina that if ECU football could over come great odds and emerge from the chaos of Hurricane Floyd as winners, they could as well. ECU's victory over the "Hurricanes" of Miami( Hollywood could not have written a better script ) symbolized for the battered people of eastern North Carolina that rebuilding their lives from the terrible destruction of Floyd could and would be done.
ECU's win over Miami also put an exclamation point on a very long two weeks for the region and culminated in what one North Carolina columnist called, "ECU's Gipper Game". In reality however, East Carolina had been winning Gipper Games for much of its football life. The Pirates had learned early on that they were capable of competing at a top level of collegiate football even if they were constantly battling financial limitations and recruiting at a level that instilled little to no fear in the hearts of teams they often did battle with.
FOOTBALL IS MORE THAN FOOTBALL AT ECU
With the almost mystical experience ECU fans had with Pirate football in the after math of Hurricane Floyd and the history of ECU football playing the role of David to someone elses Goliath( and winning their good share of these battles) it is fair to write that football at ECU is more than just football. While this is true at many schools, there seems to be a symbiotic relationship between ECU football and the region that is hard to articulate but is palpable and present none the less. A relationship that not only permeates throughout the eastern part of the state but one that consistently captures the imagination and loyalty of the student body and alumni as well.
When students get to ECU for example, they are quickly immersed into the transcendent like narrative of the team and are asked to become part of the story by participating in the ECU narrative themselves. The strong bond that is created between the team and the community can be seen in the attendance at footballl games. ( averaging a little over 44,000, down a bit from 50,000 a few years and second in the Gang of 5 behind BYU) and in the fact the East Carolina reports the largest student booster club in the country at 10,000 members.
A STORY WORTH EMBRACING
The two greatest obstacles facing Gang of 5 schools at the moment are monetary limitations and lack of brand excitement. Gang of 5 schools are constantly being asked to do more with less money and most are being asked to do more with far fewer fans than they would like to have.
While ECU faces many of the same financial issues that the rest of the Gang of 5 schools do, it does not share the type of attendance( of course attendance can always improve at most schools) and fan apathy issues that most of the Gang of 5 presently encounter.
In addition to the more emotional aspects of brand loyalty among ECU fans, there are some concrete steps that East Carolina has taken over the last 40 years that have put the school at the top of the G Five fan pyramid.
Steps that start with a commitment to win that begins with the school Chancellor and trickles down to everything the University believes in and stands for.

Here is a slew of new and interesting improvised silencer designs featuring innovative couplings plus variations on aluminum cans, oil filters, PVC pipe, plumbing devices, water sprinkler pieces and other unique materials. Warning: It is illegal to possess or make a silencer without BATF registration.
After writing his popular book Workbench Silencers: The Art of Improvised Designs, inventor George Hollenback came up with a number of clever ways to affix common itemrs to the end of a firearm ot help suppress its noisy report. More Workbench Silencers features the best of these designs, including four different types of slip-on silencers and three perforated tube designs. These silencers are devised for the popular Ruger .22 bull barrel pistol, the venerable Colt .45 semiauto handgun, the compact .380 Makarov, and even the Maverick Model 88 bullpup shotgun. All of these gun silencers can be made with ordinary materials available at any hardware store.
This illustrated report on suppressor technology presents innovative designs of well-known suppressor manufacturers and offers definitive comparisons of models based on prices, features, kits, independent manufacturers and technological advances. It also examines the history of the silencer and the attitudes of the U.S. government, the public and terrorists about its usage.
More than fifty 9″ x 12″ working machinist's drawings present clear step-by-step directions for building three different advanced firearm silencers for submachine guns and pistols. Improvised materials and machining techniques are suggested.
Learn how to make a silencer from common items found around the house. George Hayduke, the Master of Revenge, will show you how! Enter the world of muffled mayhem with these simple, effective and legal silencer designs.
Despite what the Brady bunch might say, silencers serve some very civilized functions and contribute to a saner, quieter way of life, which is why a lot of folks like them. After reading The Hayduke Silencer Book, many readers shared their own ideas for simple designs you can build at home, legally. Here is the cream of the crop.
This handy little manual teaches you everything you need to know to legally manufacture a silencer for any .22 – without a lathe or welder. These inexpensive homemade silencers give you all the suppression you need, thread on solidly, do not affect your accuracy or the gun's functioning and last for hundreds of rounds.
Because it does not produce a sonic "crack," the .45 is an ideal pistol for a silencer. Here is a nuts-and-bolts guide to making your own silencer for the Colt 1911 Government Model .45 and its clones. Includes construction details for all components, manufacturing tips that will save you time and effort, and plenty of clear illustrations.


The ascendant Bruno Mali Kidd returns with a visual for "From Da Mud," a track from his recently released MADE mixtape. Following the obvious mob-inspired theme of the project's cover art, the new video finds Bruno getting initiated into the mob.
In the beginning of the "From Da Mud" video, we see Bruno—who's rocking a sharp black suit—making an oath of sorts, having the leader of an unnamed mob organization slice the tip of his finger before welcoming Bruno into the mob and conferring the status of being a "made" man upon him. Pretty cinematic stuff.
From there we see Bruno, who's been cosigned by Rick Ross, rolling with the rest of the black suit-rocking mob, posted up outside of a flossy whip as he spits the lyrics in "From Da Mud," which are pretty grimy compared to the opulence showcased in the video for the track. That's probably the point.
With his deep voice and piercing lyrics, Bruno, who's a prospective 2017 XXL Freshman, looks like he could very well be the next big thing out of Florida. Speaking with us this past March, the rapper let loose his goals in the rap game.
You can check out his latest step in that direction by peeping his "From Da Mud" video below.

The IPO Buzz: Last Blast of Summer
by John E. Fitzgibbon Jr.. Posted on August 20, 2017
Looking back at the Valley of IPOs, it appears we have seen the last traffic for the Summer of 2017. A "blank check" or special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) went public last week. Nevertheless, many media companies reported two deals got out the door. If you read the prospectuses, or Offering Circulars, you'll discover there was some confusion out there.
Capitol Investment Corp. IV (CIC.U) is a "blank check" or SPAC company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and based in Washington, D.C. The company priced 35 million shares at $10 each on Tuesday night, Aug. 15, to trade Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange.
Most of the media attention, though, focused on the second deal last week. The catch: This company went public as a Reg A+ offering. This type of offering lets companies raise capital from non-accredited investors. In contrast, typical IPOs under Regulation D are allowed to raise money only from accredited investors.
No problem there, but Reg A+ offerings are basically "best efforts" deals and their underwriters (or agents) are not required to assume any risk in buying shares to reoffer them to their clients. So let's take a closer look.
Soup Out of Season
Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (CSSE) priced its Reg A+ offering on Thursday night, Aug. 17, 2017. The "best efforts" deal consisted of 2.5 million shares sold at $12 each. The stock started trading on Friday, Aug. 18, becoming the first crowdsourced IPO to trade on the Nasdaq, as CNBC noted. It opened with a pop and closed with a flop. The stock started trading at $13, sold as high as $13.25 and closed at $9.25, DOWN 22.9 percent from its offering price.
The company, based in Cos Cob, Connecticut, provides video content that is a spinoff of the series of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books, which became best sellers in the early 1990s.
Check out the Offering Circular's Page 4 and on the left-hand side of the page, you will see the words "Best efforts offering." That is the key. It's not a firm commitment. For the record, IPOScoop.com does not track "best efforts" offerings.
Let's go to Page 66 of the Offering Circular and this paragraph:
"The joint bookrunning managers are not purchasing any of the Offering Shares or Additional Shares and are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will instead arrange for the sale of securities to investors on a "best efforts" basis, meaning that they need only use their best efforts to sell the securities. The joint bookrunning managers may sell some of the Offering Shares and Additional Shares through selected dealers."
But Chicken Soup was not the first of the new Reg A+ offerings to go public. It was the fourth, according to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings. (The SEC adopted the Reg A+ rules in June 2015.)
The other three Reg A+ deals were: Adomani (ADOM), Myomo Inc. My Own Motion (MYO) and ShiftPixy (PIXY). Two of the three came to market as "best efforts offerings" and the other on "an all or none" basis. Nevertheless, there is nothing like reading the Offering Circulars, as the Reg A+ filings are called.
Adomani priced 2.85 million shares at $5 each on June 14, 2017. On June 15, the stock closed its first day of trading at $7.25 on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The stock sold as high as $18.31 on July 12. The stock closed on Friday, Aug. 18, at $13.11 – UP 162.2 percent from its offering price. (See above for "best efforts" reference found on Page 1 of the Offering Circular.) Adomani designs, makes and installs electric and hybrid drivetrain systems for electric buses and commercial fleet vehicles.
Myomo, also known as My Own Motion, which is the name of its medical robotics device, priced 665,498 shares at $7.50 each on June 9, becoming the first Reg A+ company to go public on the NYSE MKT. On June 12, the stock closed its first day of trading at $7.40. The stock sold as high as $23.20 on June 19. On Friday, Aug. 18, the stock closed at $6.15 – DOWN 18 percent from its offering price. (See above for "best efforts" reference found on Page F-6 of the Offering Circular.)
ShiftPixy priced 2 million shares at $6 each on June 29. On June 30, the stock closed its first day of trading at $7.70 on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The stock sold as high as $12.03 on July 5. ShiftPixy closed on Friday, Aug. 18, at $4.10 – DOWN 31.7 percent from its offering price. (See above for "an all or none" reference found on Page 2 of the Offering Circular.) ShiftPixy offers a proprietary app that helps companies, notably restaurants, and part-time workers navigate "the gig economy" by filling open shifts with qualified people – often on short notice, according to the Orange County Business Journal.
The IPO calendar is as clear this week as Waikiki Beach at sunrise. The same can be said for the week of Aug. 28 and ditto for the week of Sept. 4, when the U.S. stock market will be closed on Monday for the Labor Day holiday.
There's nothing to worry about here. It's traditional for the IPO calendar to be quiet in late August through Labor Day. Bankers, after all, have all those platinum miles to use – to escape from Wall Street for a last blast of summer.
