Russia: Practice of Compulsory Military Service Comes Under Attack
Posted 6 February 2012 19:57 GMT
Russia's compulsory military service practices have come under attack for a variety of reasons, including the issues of economic inefficiency, governmental corruption connected with determining exemptions from service, dynamics of Russia's demographic status as it affects the military's ability to meet its quotas, and the practice of dedovshchina (from the Russian word for 'grandfather'), a violent form of hazing directed at young conscripts.
Known as the first Emperor of Russia, Peter the Great included a "recruit obligation" in his efforts to form the Imperial Russian Army. The term of service in the 18th century Russia was for life, until it was reduced to 25 years in 1793, 20 years with an additional 5 years in reserve in 1834, and 12 years active duty in 1855. Russia's modern conscription practices date back to a 1967 law that remained largely unchanged until the mid-2000s, when the term of service was reduced to 1 year in 2008 for all men aged 18-27.

Writing for The Volokh Conspiracy Blog, a group blog comprised mostly of law professors, Ilya Somin put the practice of conscription in its historical context by paraphrasing an article written by economist Joshua Hall:
Economist Joshua Hall has an interesting article describing an oft-ignored, but very important expansion of freedom over the last several decades: the declining use of military conscription. He notes that, as of 1970, some 80% of the world's governments used conscription, including the US and many of the democratic nations of Western Europe. By 2009, that had declined to 45%, and many of those nation that still have conscription have reduced the length of conscript's terms and made it easier to escape the draft. Even France, the nation that first pioneered conscription in the 1790s, abolished it in 2001.
Hall also gives a good summary of the economic case against conscription. Most knowledgeable people are aware of the standard points that conscription reduces the quality of the military because professionals are, on average, better soldiers than short-term conscripts, and that conscription creates major social costs by forcing people to serve who would be more productive in other occupations. Hall notes two other ways in which conscription is inefficient that are less well-known – that it creates deadweight losses by diverting people from their preferred occupations to those which have draft exemptions, and that it encourages governments to underinvest in military equipment and instead sacrifice more lives in battle rather than capital […]
In addition to the economic inefficiency issues associated with conscription, there are governmental hazards as well in that it is known to incite corruption. International Defense and Security Programme Blog discussed in general terms the importance of applying a mandatory military service law equally, regardless of socio-economic status, and then cited Russia's military as a specific example of the methods by which conscription corrupts the military, along with efforts the Russian government has taken to address these issues:
Compulsory military service can be a cause of pervasive corruption within the armed forces. Such is the case in Russia. In order to avoid conscription, would-be soldiers pay bribes to the military authorities, medical personnel in charge of assessment and officials in draft boards. Such practices are widespread and publicly acknowledged.
In July 2010, Russia's nationalist Liberal Democratic Party, led by Vladimir Zhirinovsky, tabled draft legislation which would allow potential conscripts to pay a sum equivalent to US $32,500 to avoid military service. The resulting funds would be channeled toward the costs of the Ministry of Defence (MoD). This measure, aimed at Russia's military commissions, signifies both the great extent of draft corruption in the country and a clear recognition of this reality.
Serious attempts to deal with this issue have been made in recent years by the Russian government. The length of conscript service was shortened by six months in April 2008 to one year, while the list of exemptions from conscriptions has also been made more restrictive. However, the 2004-7 federal government programme designed to trial a transition to fully professional armed forces was largely ineffective, due to poor design and pervasive corruption which prevents full remuneration from reaching the contracted soldiers.
Mikhail Prokhorov's 2012 presidential election program included putting an end to Russia's compulsory military service by 2015:
• Create a professional, mobile, high-tech army, able to respond quickly to local and regional conflicts;
• Pay special attention to our strategic nuclear forces and space-based weapons as means of ensuring Russia's independence and security;
• End military conscription from 2015 while moving to a professional army;
• Ensure social benefits for war veterans (free education, tax exemptions and soft loans to start businesses or buy housing) […]
Global Voices discussed in a post entitled, "Russia: Demographic Collapse Means 'No One Left to Draft'," how the low birth rate of the 1990s has affected Russia's ability to maintain conscription quotas. However, demographic decline was only one of the major factors that General Nikolai Makarov, Russia's chief of the General Staff, mentioned in a RIA Novosti article quoted in the aforementioned GV post; dedovshchina was the other one:
Russia has no conscript-age young men left to recruit […].
The current conscript service crisis in the Russian Armed Forces is mainly due to demographic decline, bullying and brutal treatment of conscripts. […]
Marina Litvinovich reported for Global Voices on a relatively new trend where social media accounts of those who have died have been converted into memorials. One such memorial was dedicated to Evgeniy Shamukhin, a Russian soldier who had been drafted and then beaten to death during a dedovshchina ritual:
I was drafted in November 2007 and served in the Academy of the Ministry for Emergency Situations in Moscow region. On May 13, 2008, I was brutally beaten up by my fellow soldier Alexandr Revyakin. He was beating my head with his feet regardless of my appeals to stop it, and at the end I lost consciousness. Suffering serious injuries and not coming to my senses I passed away in a hospital on May 19, 2008. On August 14, 2008, the military court of Solnechnogorsk city sentenced Revyakin to 6 years and 6 months of detention.
Russia has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, and it is believed that close to 1 million Russian people have taken their own lives since the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. Russian Defense Policy Blog argued that the dedovshchina practices associated with Russia's compulsory military service make young soldiers even more prone to suicidal actions:
Dedovshchina has always had potential to drive desperate conscripts to take their own lives to escape it. Hence, the majority of Russian Army suicide cases are investigated under Article 110 of the RF Criminal Code, "Incitement to Suicide." Western legal tradition has long experience with incitement, but "incitement to suicide" is a little unusual. Not so for Russian military prosecutors and criminal investigators.
The author went on to list recent accounts found in the Russian press of young Russian soldiers who had indeed taken their own lives or who had attempted to do so:
In late August, a conscript on guard duty in Volgograd shot himself, leaving a suicide note blaming dedovshchina in his unit. The case is being investigated under Article 110.
In late August, a conscript from a Krasnoyarsk unit was detailed to the Railroad Troops brigade in Abakan to help prepare for Tsentr-2011. With only three months left to serve, he went AWOL, and apparently hung himself.
In mid-August, a conscript in Kaliningrad jumped off the boiler house roof and sustained a number of serious injuries, but survived. He had left a note asking that no one be blamed in his death.
In early August, a conscript in the 735th Missile Regiment, 62nd Missile Division in Uzhur killed himself while on guard duty at night. He had served six months.
In early March, in Belogorsk, a conscript due to demob in a few days shot himself to death.
In early February, a conscript in Sergeyevka shot himself to death. The case was being investigated under Article 110.
Public awareness of the soldiers who have taken their own lives has grown recently. A June 2011 Radio Free Europe article described an incident where protesters gathered in Moscow in response to the surge of soldiers who had died under such circumstances in the previous months.
In a November 2011 post, Russian Defense Policy Blog relayed the results of a poll conducted by the Public Opinion Foundation, which surveyed 3,000 people living in 64 of Russia's regions. Many of the questions that were asked reflected a widespread awareness that dedovshchina exists, that it is related in some way to compulsory military service, and that many young men resort to illicit activities in order to avoid military service:
Finally, buried deep in the results, participants were asked for their views on the state of affairs in the Russian Army in coming years:
• 19% said it will improve.
• 19% said it will worsen.
• 35% said it will stay the same.
• 26% said hard to answer.
However, when asked to compare military service conditions today against those 10-15 years ago, more respondents said they are easier (39%), and many fewer said they are harder (14%), by comparison with Russians asked the same question in 2002 (just 6% and a whopping 64% respectively).

Argentina accused UK of sending submarines with nuclear weapons capacity to the Falklands
Argentina accused the UK of displacement of submarines with nuclear weapons capacity in the Falkland Islands, violating international treaties that established the South Atlantic zone as free of nuclear arms. The claim was made on Monday at the United Nations Disarmament Conference in Geneva.

The school records of the suspect of a mass shooting in Florida killed 17 people reveal a child that had problems since middle school. According to records obtained Sunday from the state Department of Children and Families, when Nikolas Cruz was a student at Westglades Middle School, he was constantly in trouble for insulting teachers and staff, using profanity, disruptive behavior, unexcused absences and at least one fight.
His mother was called in more than a dozen times for conferences and Cruz was frequently sent to counseling.
Nineteen-year-old Cruz is facing 17 counts of murder in the Wednesday afternoon shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
The warnings around Cruz seemed to flash like neon signs: expelled from school, fighting with classmates, a fascination with weapons and hurting animals, disturbing images and comments posted to social media, previous mental health treatment.
In Florida, that wasn't enough for relatives, authorities or his school to request a judicial order barring him from possessing guns.
Only five states have laws allowing family members, guardians or police to ask judges to temporarily strip gun rights from people who show warning signs of violence. Supporters of the measures, deemed "red flag laws" or gun violence restraining orders, say they can save lives by stopping some shootings and suicides.
Red flag legislation was introduced last fall in Florida by Democratic lawmakers, but its fate is uncertain in a state Legislature controlled by Republicans who generally favor expanding gun rights. After Wednesday's shooting at a high school in Parkland, a suburb north of Miami, Republican Gov. Rick Scott said he will work to make sure people with mental illnesses don't have access to guns but offered no specifics.
The Florida shooting also has revived debate about whether teachers and school administrators should have that authority as well, given that people at Cruz's high school witnessed much of his erratic behavior.
"We need to make sure that when people see signs, they have every ability to do something about getting guns out of the hands of mentally ill and dangerous people," Ting told The Associated Press.
"It's a way to allow for temporary removal of firearms in a situation just like this: where somebody has made threats, where they have been expelled from school because of those threats, they're in counseling, and parents or the school or whoever it is understands that this person poses a threat," she said.
The National Rifle Association's lobbying arm has said such laws allow courts to remove Second Amendment rights "based on third-party allegations and evidentiary standards" that are lower than what's required in criminal proceedings.
Connecticut led the way with a 1999 law, passed after an employee shot and killed four executives at the state Lottery headquarters. It allows police to remove guns based on probable cause that a person poses a "risk of imminent personal injury."
In a study published last year, researchers at Duke, Yale, Connecticut and Virginia estimated that dozens of suicides have been prevented by the law, roughly one for every 10 gun seizures carried out. They said such laws "could significantly mitigate the risk" posed by the small number of legal gun owners who might suddenly pose a significant danger.
David Hogg, a survivor of the attack, is telling politicians and Americans in a poignant essay written for CBS Sunday Morning that they must to do something to stop the next school shooting.
"Politicians and more importantly the American public must take action if we're going to prevent the next shooting," Hogg says.
"To elected officials I say this: Don't lie to us. Don't make any more false promises, because when you do, children die," he adds.


DON'T STRESS! Check out these 6 study tips to combat exam anxiety.
Studying for HSC and University exams can be, well, stressful. And stress is the last thing you need when you're trying to cram info into your head for a test. We've got some tips that'll sharpen your study skills and get you energised and motivated to achieve your best.
Doing a bit of planning for your study time is crucial! It's the only way to make sure you get it all done, so you'll learn more efficiently, rather than getting caught up in the stress of feeling disorganised and rushed. And when you get it done, you'll be energised for what's next. With these tips and a few Post-it® Products, you can improve your study habits, which will make prepping for exams your new favourite thing! OK, maybe that's a stretch — but it'll be way less painful.
So, organisation is kind of our thing, we admit, but we make Post-it® Products for a reason. They help you keep track of priorities and to-dos, ideas you've had (like writing down essay ideas at the end of a chapter without tearing the page), mark important passages to come back to (like when you use Post-it® Flags to mark pages by colour so you can easily see them when you come back) or help you take notes along the way without writing in your textbook (like when you use Post-it® Page Markers and add notes directly to a page). But you know what? Organise however works best for you — just ORGANISE!
One effective way to study is to divide and conquer subjects amongst friends. Break your subject into manageable topics, assign yourself and friends one topic each, spend some time understanding that topic and writing notes, then regroup at the end of that session and share the learnings of each topic. Other people's ideas, perspectives and even note-taking skills can help you test just how sharp your knowledge really is.
Check your Board of Studies and University exam timetables to know which exams are coming up when and how much time you've got to study for each one. Create a study schedule and cross off each subject as you complete it, so you can focus on what's most urgent and make sure no deadlines pass you by.
For that one tough fact, number or date you just can't remember, try assigning a mental picture to it — the weirder, the better. It doesn't have to have anything to do with the fact, but it can work surprisingly well to help you recall something later. So, if bees and bananas help you remember the Periodic Table, then bees and bananas are your new best friend. Draw your mental pictures on Post-it® Super Sticky Notes and stick them wherever you'll see them frequently, like your notebook or planner. You can stick and re-stick them almost anywhere, which will make sure that your drawings — however random they might seem — help you retain the pesky stuff that always seems to slip your mind.
Look, we get it — studying is hard and procrastination can creep up, but try these tips along with the right tools to make a tough process smoother. When you're less stressed and more motivated, getting things done is super energising — you'll learn more efficiently, and ace those exams like it's your job (because, well, it is). And when you do your job well, you're ready to make your mark on the world. Follow these tips and thanks us later!


While the primary objective of this article is to provide some guidance to those who did not get the mark that they were hoping for in UMAT or ATAR, we would like to firstly congratulate those that did achieve a desired UMAT 2018 results.
As most UMAT candidates are aware by now, the UMAT 2018 results were released earlier this year again and caught many by surprise. But do not panic and most importantly do not let this surprise take your focus away from your Year 12 work. Remember that UMAT alone is not going to get you anywhere and it goes hand in hand with a high ATAR score in order to get you an interview for the undergraduate medical degree.
As for the interviews; please remember to start your preparation early. The list of dates for the National Institute of Education Interview workshops are listed and some of the workshop dates are nearly full. Take note, that our interview workshops are capped at 14 students and once the places are full, we will not be able to take in any extra students.
What to do if you don't get into medicine in Year 12?
Without a doubt, the biggest fear for any hopeful medical student is the possibility of missing out on a spot in an undergraduate medical course. This is a realistic concern to have: the number of undergraduate medical places in Australia are limited, while the pool of applicants is large. Of course, the best way to prepare for this is to give yourself the best possible chance of earning one of these spots. Work hard in year twelve to secure a great ATAR / OP; prepare for the UMAT as early and as thoroughly as possible; practice for your medical interview so that you can handle it well on the day. Doing each of these things will boost your prospects immensely.
However, you may find that you still miss out on a spot. If this happens, try to remember one thing: it is not the end of the world. Yes, you may feel like you've missed your chance, and you may have to watch other friends going straight into medicine. But there is no question that there are other ways to get into medicine, and that if you want it badly enough, you will get there eventually.
Don't forget that you can sit UMAT many times, even if you start another undergraduate degree next year. Only very few universities might not accept your UMAT score if you are studying another degree directly within their university, but you can still apply to all other universities using your ATAR, or GPA (Grade Point Average for your university subjects grades).
What marks do I need for undergraduate medicine?
This is a bit of a tricky question to answer, as each university uses different admissions criteria and has varying levels of stringency in who they will and wont' accept. For instance, if you look at Monash University as an example, as the demand to Study in Monash is quite high, it has far higher admissions requirements than most other undergraduate medical courses in Australia (it is probably on par with UNSW), as it tends to have a greater number of applicants.
Monash has a complicated admissions process, comprised of your ATAR, UMAT and interview. In order to actually get an interview offer, your ATAR and UMAT will be considered equally (50% each) to determine who receives an interview. Once you get the interview, it will be considered equally along with your ATAR and UMAT (33% each) to determine who among the interview applicants will actually be offered a place. So basically, they are all of equal importance. In terms of what ATAR and UMAT you need, the two are proportional. The higher your ATAR, the lower your UMAT can be. I have seen a student with an ATAR of 98 be given a place, however this student had a UMAT of 99. I have also seen students with UMAT scores in the low 80s receive offers, but they had ATARs over 99.00. In general, if you can secure an ATAR in the low 99s (e.g. 99.00-99.3), and a UMAT in the mid 80s, you have a decent chance of getting a spot with Monash, depending on how well you interview. Also some of the universities while can list UMAt requirement in hoigh 90s, have issued interview offers in the main roudn to studnest with UMAT scores in high 50s and 60s. These figures are just guidelines, but they offer a ballpark view of the sort of numbers you need to be aiming at.
We recommend to apply to all of the universities, choose Bonded Place (if of interest to you), ensure you are very well prepared for the interview, and just see what happens at the end. If Medicine or Dentistry is your passion, then you have to undertake this journey of medical application to the very end.
I didn't get in – what now?
• You get a year off, in which you can travel and work. The UMAT can often be taken overseas in several locations (e.g. London), provided there is an Australian consulate/embassy.
• You have more time to think about medicine and to prepare for the UMAT.
• You have more maturity.
I know of a number of people who took this option, and are now studying medicine. While you may be tempted to worry about whether you can even improve your UMAT, there are numerous students who studied hard, and prepared as much as they could for the UMAT in year twelve, only to re-sit it a year later and gain a much better mark. So many things chance in a year's time – less pressure from school, more maturity, different experiences. Even if you worked hard in year twelve, you can still improve your score dramatically.
Post-graduate medical courses are another great option for those of you who are set on medicine, or who simply enjoy science. Most post-graduate medical courses are four years long, and require you to complete a three year undergraduate degree in science or biomedical science first. You will be admitted to a postgraduate medical course based on a combination of your GPA (your marks at university), your GAMSAT score (the postgraduate equivalent of UMAT) and usually an interview.
This option works for many people for a number of reasons. Firstly, the number of applicants is lower than in undergraduate equivalents. Secondly, the GAMSAT is more knowledge-based than aptitude-based, and so many people who struggled with the UMAT are able to handle the GAMSAT more capably. Thirdly, you have three extra years to mature, and this will help you in your application. You also get the opportunity to earn a different degree, study other areas and have a completely different experience of university and life, and that is not at all a bad thing.
At the end of the day, there are multiple pathways to becoming a doctor. Undergraduate medicine is the shortest and most direct of these, but in the scheme of a 50-year career, one or two years difference is a fairly inconsequential number. If medicine is your path, and being a doctor is your goal, that's where you'll end up.


Well I am about to start on my first sub enclosure build I have always had them custom made for me before but figured this should be a fun project. I have an 08 Silverado Crew Cab and am looking to build an enclosure for under the back seat for the JL 13w5 I just picked up.
I have been searching around a lot to try to find similar builds so I can get ideas and have found a lot of people using down firing boxes, which I guess makes sense as you don't have to worry about your sub impacting the bottom of your seat. But it makes me wonder if having the sub facing directly into the floor will have any adverse effects on sound quality? I am also wondering if I do build a down firing box how much of a gap should I leave between the box and the floor to allow for the subs travel? I have never really dealt with shallow woofers before so not sure what to expect. My only other question is I have been recommended .8 cft for the box and with it being under my back seats it pretty much has to be extremely shallow and very wide and I was just wondering what kind of effect that will have on sound if anything.
Thanks for any advice you guys can offer I will try to post pics as I go.

Seven years after his psychosis had snowballed to the point where SYD BARRETT (1946-2006) could no longer function constructively with Pink Floyd, his former bandmates were still feeling the absence of their effervescent frontman. While Roger Waters denies that Wish You Were Here was a specific tribute to Barrett, it is hard not to see the album, and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" in particular, as suffused, at least unconsciously, with the mixed emotions that emerged in response to Barrett's psychological demise. Anecdotes about Barrett's unhinged unpredictability, both in the studio and on stage, are legion: turning up and playing only when he felt like it; changing songs as he went along; detuning his guitar during concerts. However, only Barrett could have amused, confused, and offended listeners of the period in equal measure with an ethereally harmonized ditty about a kleptomaniac transvestite ("Arnold Layne"). And only Barrett could have fashioned an experimental musical extravaganza out of a childish rhyme about bikes with bells on and mice called Gerald ("Bike"). His enchantingly warped originality — as writer, player, and performer — mark him out as much more than a loopy pharmacasualty of the psychedelic era.

Seeking Justice (2011)

Kill List (2011)

Kill List isn't an easy film to categorize, to put into a mass-market box general audiences will quickly recognize. But it gets the job done and then some, and as an excursion into debilitating emotional-based familial terror I doubt we'll see its like at any point throughout the rest of 2012.

Zodiac might just end up being Fincher's masterpiece, and I'll be curious to see how it withstands the test of time as I'm all but certain this is one thriller we'll all be waxing poetic about for decades to come.
Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

Plato's Magical Mystery Cave: Google Video, R.I.P.
Last week I received notice that Google Video will no longer host videos, and that my immense archive of BLU meeting videos will be deleted in early May.
I downloaded my archive in it's entirety, to Pegasus, and then proceeded to upload all five of them to YouTube. Alas, YouTube required me to split them into 15- minute segments before it would accept them.
Over the weekend I searched through a bunch of old removable-IDE drives that I had used for backups in the past, and I found several more BLU meeting videos that had never been on Google Video. I copied them to my laptop, then transferred them to Pegasus during this week's BLU meeting.
When I uploaded them to YouTube, I discovered that YouTube now allows me to upload them as a single file, and I no longer have to split them into 15-minute chunks. Hooray!


Large OEM electrical manunfacturer approached Rapidparts in December 2008 with a project consisting of 6 components, detailed ribs, gloss finish, internal undercuts and urgent. They knew that for the product to succeed they had to be at the market place on the 2nd Jan 2009 with a product that was moulded and the real thing. This was aimed at the high end market place and anything but a quality product would fail.
The order was placed on the 1st of December - the customer arrived at Rapidparts 15 working days later (22/12/08) to see the finished moulded parts. Hot off the press, whilst on site he mentioned that it would be nice to see what was going on inside the switch ... he drove away 4 hours later with all 6 parts in the correct colours and some additional ones in a clear Polycarbonate.
Needless to say it was a very Happy Christmas for him.


I recently had the pleasure of working with an amazing Denver family who helped me truly understand how powerful photographs can be. I first got to know the Ahlstrand family at their consultation, which conveniently was held at Panera Bread (because I have needs, too). I start every client relationship with an in-person consultation to make sure we are the best fit as photographer and client, as well as discuss and plan their portrait session with me. And in this case, stock up on insanely tasty and moderately priced carbohydrates.
Many of my new Family Photojournalism clients are nervous about how I will be able to capture candid imagery of their family. They are used to more traditional and posed family photographs and while they love my style, aren't quite sure how their family will fit into it. The Ahlstrand Family was no different. They thought about having their photos done outside in a Botanic Gardens type of setting. I wasn't sold and asked if that was something their family typically does, or if that was just where they assumed you take family photos. We went back to the drawing board a few times.
By the time their photoshoot day arrived, we had a solid plan in place. Abby and Maddie (the Ahlstrand girls) are both Irish step dancers and devote much of their week to training and competitions. And being a former professional dancer, I jumped at the chance to photograph Meghan and Kelly observing them because parents are the quiet superheroes behind almost every professional dancer's career. Family Photojournalism sessions are meant to tell the story of your family in that moment in time, and since much of this family's time is spent in a dance studio that is where we decided to meet!
As the day began, I saw the girls preparing and taping their shoes just like I've seen my Riverdancing boyfriend do so many times. The dedication to their art form is so beautiful and not something everyone appreciates. It takes a great number of years for a seasoned performer and artist to grow out of a consistently hard-working student with big dreams.
Seeing Meghan and Kelly's proud faces warmed my heart so much. This is the kind of loving support that so often builds a solid foundation for the most successful dancers.
After the girls finished up at the studio, they had worked up quite an appetite. And in my photojournalistic way, I of course followed along to document everything. It's also possible that I was in it for the food, but I digress.
Upon leaving Pieology (a new favorite of mine after this photoshoot) we headed towards the Ahlstrand's beautiful home. The family had initially been hesitant to have their home photographed because it wasn't "perfect" and certain parts were being redone. But eventually I convinced them that photographs in the home they spend so much time making memories in would mean more to them decades to come than photographs in some "picturesque" location.
The more they relaxed, the more they forgot that I was there. It is always my goal to be a fly on the wall in my Family Photojournalism sessions. And again, to consume bread whilst on the job.
...Kelly decided to help Abby hang a Riverdance poster in her newly redone bedroom.
As our time together started to wind down, I noticed that the family had several heirloom albums hanging around. Since relocating to Denver, I have been finding that most of my clients already appreciate and see the value of a printed photograph (music to my ears). I asked them to get one of the albums out and before I knew it, they were all transported back into their past, which is the power that every photograph holds! Seeing them actually flipping through pages of photographs, instead of swiping through an online gallery, made me truly smile inside.
The final album the family went through was Meghan and Kelly's wedding album. I knew I was going to be photographing a wedding very shortly, with the end result being a beautiful and archival quality album. Seeing the Ahlstrand Family revisiting their wedding day through photographs made me excited to be able to do that for somebody else soon.
A photograph of people looking at and treasuring photographs. It doesn't get much better than that! Photographs are so powerful and can transport you to any place in time. I love what I do.
Thank you, Ahlstrand Family...it was an incredible privellege to photograph...and eat bread with you.

Looking to Buy Your First Electric Vehicle? We Debunk Some Common Myths
Marc Saltzman | October 25th, 2022
Those thinking of buying their first electric vehicle must first wade through all the misconceptions about EV ownership. Photo: Westend61/Getty Images
It's not a stretch to suggest you've thought about buying your first electric vehicle (EV), especially when looking at how much you just paid per litre to fill up.
KPMG found 62 per cent of Canadians feel high gas prices have convinced them it's time to buy an EV.
Sentiment is in line with sales numbers, too. According to IHS Markit's most recent Automotive Insights report, electric vehicle adoption in Canada is picking up considerably, now accounting for 11.8 per cent of all vehicle registrations, up from 7.6 per cent a year prior.
This includes pure EVs or bEVs (all battery-powered), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (which have a charging port and gas tank) and hybrid electric vehicles (which use an electric motor to assist a gas-powered engine). The first two options are zero-emission vehicles, together accounting for 5.6 per cent of all car sales last year, up from 3.8 per cent in 2020.
Anecdotally, you may have also noticed more EVs (quietly) idling beside you at a red light, such as a Tesla, Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt EV, Hyundai Kona Electric or Ford Mustang Mach-E — and many more to come.
Along with a silent ride, zero emissions and never having to pay for gas again (for bEVs), EVs also have fewer maintenance costs (no oil changes needed), and instant torque (really fast pick-up).
But those thinking of buying their first electric vehicle must first wade through all the misconceptions about EV ownership. With bEV models in mind, the following are some myth-busting considerations.
"I will have range anxiety."
One of the biggest (perceived) hurdles for new EV owners is that you might be concerned about running out of battery before you reach your destination.
Often referred to as "range anxiety," this is certainly not the case, given the average EV can drive for about 320 kilometres on a full charge, which is several days (or more than a week for most people's commutes to and from an office), picking up the kids from school, driving to the mall, out for dinner and so on.
In fact, someone living in downtown Toronto can drive to the Kawartha Lakes cottage country — and back again — without needing to charge up.
Some vehicles can go above and beyond this range, too, such as up to 417 kilometres per charge with the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV (starting at $38,198), or up to 430 kilometres with the Tesla Model 3 ($59,990; for a rear-wheel drive model). Range could even go up to 640 kilometres for the 2023 Silverado EV pick-up truck (from $52,488). Prices do not include any tax credits/government rebates offered as incentive for buying an EV (which vary between provinces).
"There aren't many places to charge up."
Again, not true.
Between 80 to 90 per cent of EV owners charge up at home — and with many automotive manufacturers offering to install 240-volt plug in your garage for free, with the purchase of a new EV — but there are several businesses that offer EV charging stations at the office, which you may be able to reserve and more than 6,000 charging stations across urban, suburban and rural areas in Canada at the time of writing this (housing more than 16,000 chargers, in total).
In many cases, your vehicle's companion app or dashboard can tell you when it's time to charge up, where and perhaps even reserve a station for you (and even use the same app to pay).
Many of these are Level 3 or DC Fast Charging stations that can typically juice up an EV between 25 and 45 minutes.
At home, you can use a regular 120-volt AC plug, too, but will take a while, and so many opt for a 240-volt upgrade in the garage, which also adds to your home's resale value. Many EV apps let you select when to charge up your vehicle, such as when electricity is least expensive (middle of the night, for example).
Therefore, just like you plug your smartphone in before you go to bed, you can do the same for your EV to top it up for the morning.
"EVs aren't ideal for Canadian climate."
One last misconception is that electric vehicles aren't ideal for colder weather, as it could significantly impact performance.
Sure, just as frigid temperatures and snowy or icy terrain could affect fuel efficiency and handling with gas-powered vehicles, Canadian winters will likely impact an EV's battery life — but nowhere to the point of it not being ideal for the Great White North.
This is simply untrue.
Vehicle makers test cars in inclement weather to gauge EV performance, including General Motors' testing facility in Kapuskasing, in northern Ontario, some 850 kilometres north of Toronto, where temps get as low as -45! Yikes.
Here's a tip: rather than heating the entire cabin, to preserve some battery you can heat the seat and steering wheel only, which should do the trick.

The head of the CRTC wants to address the pricing of telecom services
Mandy Sims January 22, 2023 2 min read
The new chair of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), Vicki Eetrides, has made it a priority to lower the rates for internet and cell phone utility bills.
"What I really want is for Canadians to be able to answer the question, 'What has the CRTC done for me?'" The main interested party explained in an interview with the Globe & Mail.
This past May, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada published draft policy guidance for the CRTC, aiming to create a more effective regulatory framework.
A final draft is expected to be released in the coming weeks, but Vicki Eetrides says the CRTC is already having this vision in mind.
It indicates that it has a plan to reduce mobile phone and Internet costs, although it did not disclose the details of the strategy. Vicky Eatrides also has ideas on how to speed up the decision-making process in the committee. In particular, you would like to improve efficiency by reducing the burden of administrative procedures.
"I see competition as a major driver of pricing, selection and innovation," she said. We will continue to advance. We also need to maintain balance by making sure we have investments in innovation."
However, it will take time to achieve its goals.
"There are so many things to do. You can move mountains, but you can't move them all at the same time.

The Dark Sons of Khorne were inspired by an army I saw at Adepticon in 2010. The army was primarily Khorne and had a stark color scheme that really made it stand out on the table. The fluff and idea of Khorne drew me in and from there I decided it was time for a new army. Initially I played my Daemons of Khorne in 2011 Adepticon's team tournament with all Khorne warriors as my partner. We had a good time and the army continued to grow from there.
The first tournament I played the army was Waaaghpaca 2012. Since then I have played the Daemons in every tournament I have went to but with BITS 3 in the books I will now be shelving the army in favor of my first and favorite army the High Elves.
This is about Khorne though and this post is mainly to show off "The goods".
I really enjoyed playing the Mono Khorne army and have really found the new Daemons book to be a balanced and entertaining army book. All of my games with them have had some epic things happen in the magic phase (even though I can't cast any spells) and it adds an element to my army that is very random where as before there was nothing of the sort. I will say that it is a much harder game for Khorne in the new book with the overall general nerf to Khorne and the randomness of the gifts. If I had one gripe about the book it is the random gifts. Let us roll random gifts, but give us the option to not only switch to a magic weapon from the book, but armor, talismans, enchanted items and for the casters, arcane items.
REALLY nice looking army! Great conversion work for the grinder and furies. Excellent freehand work on the banners.
Where did you get the helmet for the DP?
I got the helmet from a Bits trader at Adepticon a couple years ago. As to where it belongs or came from originally I can't help there.
Fun to read and great job of painting. Finally got to watch my son in a tournament last weekend. Glad he enjoys it now when he is young, kids will change the amount of time you get to spend with "your" hobbies!

Costco to require customers to wear face masks starting May 4
Starting May 4, most Costco locations and gas stations will return to their regular hours.
Posted: May 2, 2020 6:48 PM
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WFFT) — Starting Monday, Costco Wholesale will require that all customers visiting their stores wear a mask or face covering while inside.
The company announced this and a few other policy changes on Wednesday.

"Costco members and guests must wear a mask or face covering that covers their mouth and nose, at all times while at Costco," the company said in a statement.
The requirement does not apply to children under the age of two or to people who can't wear a mask due to a medical condition.
"The use of a mask or face covering should not be seen as a substitute for social distancing. Please continue to observe rules regarding appropriate distancing while on Costco premises. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation," Costco said.
In addition to the face mask requirement, Costco says that it will adjust some of its operating hours.
Also starting May 4, most Costco locations and gas stations will return to their regular hours.
The hour from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Monday through Friday will be reserved for people age 60 and older, and those with disabilities.
Costco is still allowing priority access for health care workers and first responders who come with their Costco membership card and official identification for their position.

First, write down everything you need money for each month. Start with your fixed expenses such as rent, utilities, car insurance and so forth. Now, it's time to do a little basic math. Add up all your fixed monthly bills and subtract that number from your total monthly income. This should give you a clear picture of how much money you actually have to work with for all of your other expenses.
Next, add in other expenses like credit card payments, gas, groceries and savings contributions. Subtract how much money you think you'll need for these essentials from your remaining monthly income. Whatever money is left over should stay in the bank until your next payday. Eventually, when you have enough surplus income saved up, you can begin to make room in your monthly budget for other expenses, like entertainment or any other non-essential purchases.
Budgeting requires the ability to make positive changes and adapt to them. If you want to stick to your budget, you're going to have to learn to do things differently. For example, if you're used to going out to eat during your lunch breaks, start bagging your lunch instead. Takeout food will usually cost you about $10 a day, which equates to $50 each workweek. A small move like bringing your lunch from home could save you about $200 month, or a whopping $2,600 a year.
It is important to make sure you're staying on top of your budget. How did you do your first month? One of the most effective ways to manage your budget is to take a look at your monthly bank statement. This comprehensive list of financial activity should show all your spending for the month. Highlight the areas you think you can improve on for the following month, then repeat the process 30 days later.
When shopping for things you need, be very selective about what you're buying. Always ask yourself, "Do I really need this?" If the answer is yes, see if there's a cheaper alternative you can purchase instead, like choosing the generic store version over the national brands for your essentials. You're getting the same exact product without paying extra for the sake of having the popularly branded packaging.
Now that you have the basic guidelines for setting up a budget, it's time to go ahead and give it a try. Don't get discouraged if you slip up at first, because learning to effectively budget is a big transition and takes time to learn. Just stay the course and keep trying, and before you know it, you'll have all your bills paid, money in the bank and enough left over to have some fun. It may take time, but budgeting is a sure way to take control of your finances.

Emotional reunion 50 years on
Published on 13 January 2014 LCDR Chloe Wootten (author)
Location(s): HMAS Creswell, NSW
Topic(s): Naval College, HMAS Sydney (II), HMAS Melbourne (II), HMAS Voyager (II)
The 1963 Royal Australian Naval College Graduating Class with the names of the eight Midshipmen who lost their lives within a year of graduation annotated.
Of the hundreds of visits that HMAS Creswell hosts each year, one group is particularly special – the return of the 50th anniversary graduating class.
As the Navy's newest officers prepare to graduate from the New Entry Officers' Course each November, Creswell plays host to a group of officers who attended the Royal Australian Naval College half a century before.
Each year the returning graduates gather to relive old glories (and 'warries'), remember mates who have passed and catch up on their individual journeys post Navy.
For the graduating class of 1963, the gathering at Creswell in late November was especially poignant as they paused their reunion to honour the memory of eight classmates.
Eight Midshipmen who graduated on 19 July 1963 perished in two separate incidents within a year of leaving the college. Their surviving classmates unveiled a plaque on a memorial stone so their mates would not be forgotten by those who follow.
On 17 October 1963, Brian Mayger, Graeme Pierce, Peter Mulvany and David Sanders were lost at sea during a sailing exercise near Hayman Island, Queensland, while they were posted to HMAS Sydney (II).
Then on 10 February 1964, four colleagues, Barton Lindsey, Ronald Maunder, Kerry Marien and Frank Morgan were killed in the collision between HMA Ships Voyager (II) and Melbourne (II).
Midshipman Marien was posthumously awarded the Albert Medal in 1965 for his efforts to save others who were involved in the incident.
Commander Kingsley Perry, RAN (Ret'd), who was also a Midshipman in Sydney and in Voyager when his friends were lost, coordinated the event overlooking Jervis Bay. The Melbourne-Voyager collision occurred off Jervis Bay.
"It was important for us all to go to Creswell and remember our mates; it was just a pity that Ms Yvonne Marien, Kerry's mother, was not well enough to join us as the sole surviving parent of those lost," he said.
The service was brief, but each element was chosen with meaning - Psalm 23 was read on 21 February 1964 at St Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney, at the Memorial Service for the 82 who died in HMAS Voyager - this time it was read from a bible that the classmates presented to the college in 1962 (before their 1963 graduation).
That bible is inscribed with their names, and is now part of the College's Historical Collection.
A reflection by Lieutenant Commander James Plunkett-Cole, RAN (retired), helped the assembled crowd to understand the men behind the names, referring to their sporting prowess, academic achievements and manner in an extremely personal address.
Chief of Navy, Vice Admiral Ray Griggs, AO CSC RAN, dedicated the memorial stone, whilst Chief of Army, Lieutenant General David Morrison, AC DSC, and members of graduating classes 50 years apart looked on.
The 50th anniversary of the Melbourne-Voyager collision will occur on 10 February this year and is expected to be marked by a memorial service in Jervis Bay.
The memorial plaque to the eight Midshipmen from the 1963 Royal Australian Naval College Graduating Class that now adorns a rock in HMAS Creswell's Memorial Park, overlooking Jervis Bay.

Colgate is committed to providing reasonable and appropriate housing accommodations to students with disabilities who need accessible housing. There is a review process and committee designated for that purpose.
The accessible housing accommodations process is intended to be a fair and effective means to address housing needs that cannot be met readily through the general room selection process. It begins with identifying the student's essential needs and then determining a housing placement that addresses those particular needs.
Accommodations in the residential environment are not granted based on preference or a desire for a particular type of location or for a desire for a quiet, undisturbed place to study.
Accommodations are not based on a diagnosis, per se, but rather on a full understanding of the nature of a student's symptoms and how their disability interferes with one or more major activities as would be encountered in the residential living environment.
Please know that when your requests are submitted after the application deadline, there is no guarantee that the same housing opportunities will be available.
All information is considered confidential and appropriate information in the documentation is shared with Colgate's Accessible Accommodations Committee solely for the purpose of determining appropriate and reasonable accommodations.
Please note: Students with dietary concerns should contact Patrick Raynard, resident dining manager, Colgate Dining Services (315-790-3140).
What kind of documentation is considered appropriate?
Documentation provides a complete and current picture of the student's functioning as it relates to living in a residential setting. It should include the nature of the condition and its severity, its impact on the student's academic or social development, treatment plan, and recommended accommodations.
When can a student request accessible housing accommodations?
Incoming first-year students are expected to submit an accessible housing accommodation application along with their housing preference form. Upper-class students are expected to submit the form by date listed on the application, which typically is near the end of February.
When/how will students learn whether they have been approved for a housing accommodation?
Students are notified in advance of other housing deadline.
Once the committee determines whether an accommodation is appropriate, the director of academic support and disability services will inform the student of the decision and direct them to the Office of Residential Life for specifics about their placement.
Will a student need to reapply each year?
Yes, a student will need to submit a new application each year and provide updated documentation as appropriate.
Can a student forego the accessible accommodations process and instead take their chances with the general housing selection process?
A student can choose to do so but the consequence are likely to be that fewer options, if any, will be available should the student want to apply at a later date.

Today I have the whole entire Fall collection from Lac Attack called Cell Block Tango. It is inspired by the song of the same name from the musical Chicago; the colors are named Pop, Six, Squish, Uh-Uh, Cicero, and Lipschitz. This versatile and lovely fall collection features 3 glitter topcoats and 3 shimmers!
This is the entire collection at a glance.
Let's start with the 3 shimmery shades. Here's 2 coats of Cicero (with 2 coats of top coat) - a very gorgeous deep purple with blue undertones (blurple?) with copper flakes. I found the formula a tad thick so I added a few drops of thinner for my right hand and it applied perfectly.
This dried almost matte and it 'ate' my first coat of top coat, so that's why the second coat. This is the most matte finish of the 3 shimmery shades. Still a lovely shade!!
Here's 2 coats of Lipschitz - a medium green with green shimmer and tiny charcoal-colored flakes. Photos are shown with a coat of top coat. This shade is very interesting, I don't think I've ever seen such a color combo but I quite loved it.
WOWZA, let me take a breath here ... This is 2 coats of Uh-Uh (with a coat of top coat) - a purple/magenta shade with shimmer. Do I HAVE to say much about this?
I was sad when I had to remove this after 4 days !! I'm pretty sure this shade will be revisited very soon.
Now let's take a look at the 3 glitter top coats.
Here is Pop - a clear base with pink and black round and hexes matte glitter in various sizes. The base color is 2 coats of Dree by Zoya. Topped everything off with a coat of Gelous then top coat.
What a fun glitter top coat !!
Here's Six - a clear base with six different kinds of metallic glitter in green, purple, and blue! I didn't realize there was so much going on in this until I saw the photos !!
Here's Squish - a clear base with black, gunmetal silver, and red glitter in hexes and bars. I experienced some curling red bars so I emailed Anastasia right away. She was thinking to skip the red bars until she finds a replacement. Not only some of the red bars curling, some silver bars too. She's aware and I'm so sure that she's already looking for a replacement.
The base color is 2 coats of OPI French Quarter for your Thoughts; a coat of Gelous + top coat.
I love bar glitter a lot but I know they always have the curling problem !!
I really enjoyed this whole collection very much. I didn't experience any tip wear or chip with any of these. Formula was great, even with Cicero being a little thick but it was minor.
Lac Attack is available on their website, a full sized bottle for $8.50 15ml & a mini for $4.25 6ml. You may always find Lac Attack on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest & Twitter to get the latest and progress.
Wow!! So beautiful all of them!


Here is some info from the Cleveland Cultural Gardens website: "Dedicated in 1935, the Czech Garden was designed by landscape architects B. Ashburton Tripp and Maurice Cornell. At the center of a circular lawn, flanked by an Eagle Pylon and a Lion Pylon, is a sculptured frieze depicting the history of the migration of Czechs to the United States. Atop the frieze and facing the lawn are busts of Bedrich Smetana, a composer, Dr. Miroslav Tyrs, an educator and organizer of Sokol gymnastic societies, Jan E. Purkyne, a physiologist, and Bozena Nemcova, a novelist. The garden also contains busts celebrating Frantisek Palacky, a historian and statesman, Anton Dvorak, the composer of the well-known "New World Symphony," the Reverend Jendrich Simon Baar, a priest and novelist, Karl Havlicek, a journalist imprisoned because of his political views, and Thomas Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia. Most of these statues, as well as the frieze, were the work of Frank L. Jirouch, a Cleveland-born sculptor of Czech descent who sculpted many of the busts in the garden.
Today's quote is one of my favorites and comes from the garden itself: This Garden is dedicated, to our beloved Czech parents who by their teachings and by precept and example have established for us a high ideal of American citizenship.
Today's photo was taken at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. I thought everyone could use a little bit of spring on a day like this. It's only a few months away!
The farm was recently purchased by Greg and Kelly Clement who are both lifelong Brunswick residents and grew up with Mapleside as an important part of their lives. They have made many wonderful improvements while still keeping the original feel of the farm. I have no doubt that Mapleside will be enjoyed for many more generations.
This is a photo of the fountain located on the upper level of the Italian Garden. The Italian Garden was on October 12, 1930 before a crowd of 3000 local Italians. It is just one of the over 30 gardens that make up the Cleveland Cultural Gardens. The gardens are located along M.L.K. Blvd and East Blvd, not far from Wade Oval.
I am ashamed to say that I didn't know this wonderful place even existed until a few years ago. I love walking though the gardens and looking at all of the statues, plants, flowers and fountains. They tell a story of all the different immigrants that came to America and to Cleveland. Some of my own ancestors that came from Germany, Switzerland, and Ireland were living in Cleveland by the 1840's. In fact my grandmother lived in a house on the corner of Ansel Rd. and Ann Ct., right across from the gardens and the Hitchcock Center for Women. She said the center used to be a seminary and she would walk in the gardens when she was a teenager. All Clevelanders should visit the gardens at least once, they are beautiful and will make you proud of Cleveland and all the immigrants that helped built this city.
