US M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) - Desert Camouflage (1:48 Scale)
The MLRS M270 Launcher, a derivative of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV), is the standard U.S. Army platform for firing surface to surface artillery rockets and missiles. The Armored Vehicle Mounted Rocket Launcher (M270) is a full-tracked, self-propelled launcher/loader designed to launch 12 tactical rockets and re-deploy before the enemy determines its launch position ('shoot and scoot').
US M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) - Woodland Camouflage (1:48 Scale)
USMC M60A1 Patton Medium Tank with Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) - Desert Camouflage (1:48 Scale)
Development of the American M60 series of tanks began in 1956 following a decision to create an improved version of the M48 'Patton' tank. Built by General Dynamics, the M60 entered service in 1960, but was quickly superceded by the A1 to A3 versions. Over 15,000 vehicles have been produced, many of which are still serving in the armies of 22 countries.
USMC M60A1 Patton Medium Tank with Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) - Woodland Camouflage (1:48 Scale)
US M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank - Desert Camouflage (1:56 Scale)
The M1 Abrams was the next stage in American tank development after the M60 series. Chrysler completed the prototype in 1978 and the first production vehicles appeared in 1980 with 30 tanks a month being built in the years that followed by General Dynamics, then a division of Chrysler Motors. Its advanced Chobham armour makes the M1 the best protected US main battle tank yet devised.
US M1128 Mobile Gun System - Desert Camouflage (1:48 Scale)
The M1128 Mobile Gun System is an eight-wheeled armored car of the Stryker armored fighting vehicle family, mounting a 105 mm tank gun, based on the Canadian LAV III light-armored vehicle manufactured by General Dynamics Land Systems. It is in service with the United States and was also being considered for adoption by several other countries.

The Messerschmitt Bf 110 was an aircraft of very mixed fortunes. It has often been criticized for its failure during the Battle of Britain, while its successes in other fields have been largely ignored. Despite not living up to the Luftwaffe's expectations it did manage to serve Germany throughout the Second World War in the long-range escort fighter, fighter-bomber, reconnaissance, ground attack and night fighter roles.

Russian Sukhoi Su-27KM "Flanker-B" Multirole Fighter - "Blue 305", Paris Air Show, 2005 (1:72 Scale)
The Sukhoi Su-27 (NATO reporting name: Flanker; nicknamed "Sushka" in USSR) is a twin-engine supermaneuverable fighter aircraft designed by Sukhoi. It was intended as a direct competitor for the large United States fourth-generation fighters such as the Grumman F-14 Tomcat and F-15 Eagle, with 3,530-kilometre (1,910 nmi) range, heavy aircraft ordnance, sophisticated avionics and high maneuverability.
US Navy Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet Strike Fighter - "100", VFA-2 "Bounty Hunters," USS Abraham Lincoln *CVN-72), 2012 (1:72 Scale)
The Boeing F/A-18E and F/A-18F Super Hornet are twin-engine carrier-capable multirole fighter aircraft variants based on the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The F/A-18E single-seat and F/A-18F tandem-seat variants are larger and more advanced derivatives of the F/A-18C and D Hornet.
Chinese PLAAF Shenyang J-11BH "Flanker B+" Multirole Fighter - PLA Northern Theater Command, 2019 (1:72 Scale)
The Shenyang J-11 (NATO reporting name Flanker B+) is a single-seat, twin-engine jet fighter, whose airframe is based on the Soviet-designed Sukhoi Su-27 air superiority fighter. It is currently manufactured by the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. The People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) of China (PRC) is the sole operator of the
US Navy Grumman F-14D Tomcat Fleet Defense Fighter - "100", VF-2 "Bounty Hunters," USS Constellation (CV-64), 2003 (1:72 Scale)
Built for speed and armed with ultra long-range weapons. It's no wonder that the F-14 Tomcat is the main defender of the US fleet. The Tomcat's AWG-9 radar has the ability to engage as many as six targets at once, which is the same number of targets that can be engaged by three F-18 Hornets. Additionally, it's Phoenix air-to-air missiles can kill hostile bombers 90 miles away -- before they can launch their attacks.

The Right Thing – By Commander Scott Waddle, USN (Ret.) With Ken Abraham
"The RIGHT THING" By Commander Scott Waddle, USN (Ret.) With Ken Abraham. When a U.S. nuclear submarine collided with a Japanese fishing boat on February 9, 2001, the story made international headlines. Navy Commander Scott Waddle, captain of the USS Greenville (SSN-772), was at the center of the controversy. While conducting an emergency main ballast tank blow off the coast of Oahu (Hawaii) while hosting several civilian "distinguished visitors", mainly donors to the Battleship USS Missouri Memorial, the Greeneville struck the commercial Japanese fishing vessel Ehime Maru. The small craft sank in less than ten minutes. Nine Ehime Maru crew members, including four high school students were killed. The skipper of the Greeneville, Commander Waddle, accepted full responsibility for the incident. After he faced a court of inquiry, it was decided a full court-martial would be unnecessary and Commander Waddle was forced to retire and given an honorable discharge. This is Commander Waddle's firsthand, never-before-published account of that fatal moment and the heartbreaking events that followed. Unlike many other leaders in the public eye who have denied or made excuses for their behavior, Commander Waddle stood boldly and took complete responsibility for his actions. Waddle's pursuit of integrity against all odds is not only dramatic reading, but provides an inspiring challenge to anyone facing difficult choices in life. 2002 first edition Hardback with a color dust jacket. 242 pages, 31 color photos, 1 maps, no index.

Everyone of us who wants Japanese companies to take major decisions, e.g. in major sales, M&A, as investor, or executive or employee benefits from understanding how Japanese companies take decisions at top level. Corporate governance is about how companies take decisions, and how this decision making is controlled. Reforms were initiated by PM Abe and Japan's Parliament since 2015, mainly driven by the very low returns on capital by Japanese companies compared to Europe and US, and by a long series of scandals.
As the major shareholder of Nissan, Renault shares responsibility for corporate governance at Nissan, and governance of Nissan directly impacts employment in France. Thus interest in Japan's corporate governance has suddenly shot up in France.The speaker has several years experience as Board Director and Member of the Supervisory & Audit Committee of a stock market listed Japanese SaaS, cloud and cybersecurity group, and will give a practician view of governance at Japanese companies.

🇸🇱The Auditor General of Sierra Leone- Ms. Lara Taylor-Pearce has just stated on Radio Democracy 98.1 FM that the amount of One Billion Dollars said to have been stolen by the past APC Government is untrue as that amount is not even in her report.
This comes as a huge blow to the SLPP Government especially the Finance Minister, J.J Saffa and Financial Secretary- Sahr Jusu who strenuously want to create the false impression that such a huge sum was chopped by officials of the past regime.
🔴Finally, the truth is out and no one can fool the people of Sierra Leone.
In the wake of the 'Technical Audit' released by the Bio Administration last week, this column questioned the professional conduct of JJ Siaffa, the Minister of Finance. Furthermore, in supplemental submissions, we also informed readers that the $1.6Billion Mr. Siaffa, reported as stolen by the EBK Administration over a three year period, were flat out lies – We reported that the Bio Administration was engaged in a calculated bid to mislead the public in a sinister plot to divert voters attention from the cataclysmic failure of this government, celebrating its one year milestone in office.
casting the nation in very horrific terms to the outside world!
It happens that the Auditor General of Salone, Mrs. Lara Taylor-Pearce (author of the original Audit), was interviewed today at 98.1FM. She flat out denied the claims of $1.6Billion by JJ Siaffa. She said that she was nowhere close to the Press Conference and don't even know the source of the spreadsheet circulating on social media, with allegations of theft from the MDAs under review. We also learnt from the 98.1 interview, that JJ Siaffa had no authority to demand pay back to Treasury – that responsibility rests squarely with Parliament. Public disclosure of the report was also improper.
The credibility of this government is seriously in doubt. We drew voters attention and sounded the alarms during the release of the 'Government Transition Report' and in repeated claims by the President that he inherited the worse economy since Independence. We continue to call on this government to abandon the campaign trail and turn to governance – there is an urgent need for President Bio to abandon Tribal politics and unify this nation. This is indeed a sad day for the nation – To note that we've all been sold a bill of goods that JJ Siaffa himself may find hard to stomach.
We are vindicated, once again and we take this opportunity to thank Mrs Taylor-Pearce for her candor and high degree of professionalism. We await Umaru Fofanah to see if he would retract his false report; and whether Parliament would call for the ouster of JJ Siaffa from office.


Further expanding its overseas operations, Volkswagen announced launch of a new production facility in China. The plant is designed for an annual production capacity of 300,000 vehicles.
Together with Hu Maoyuan (SAIC) and representatives of the government of Jiangsu Province, Heizmann started production of the Volkswagen Polo last week. As the second plant producing this model in China, Yizheng will make production considerably more flexible. It is also planned to produce ŠKODA models here in the next stage. Yizheng plant, located about 300 km to the North-West of Shanghai, will create about 3,700 new jobs in the region. With press, body and paint shops as well as a final assembly unit, the plant has a total capacity of about 300,000 vehicles per year.
The plant also features a technical testing centre, a training academy to provide initial and advanced training for employees and an energy centre.
The Volkswagen Group is creating new facilities in the growing market of China. Prof. Dr. Jochem Heizmann, Member of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG, who is to be responsible for the new 'China' Board of Management function, and Dr. Michael Macht, Member of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG responsible for Group production, have inaugurated a new plant for Shanghai Volkswagen (SVW) in Yizheng, Eastern China, together with Hu Maoyuan, Chairman of SAIC Motor Corporation Ltd.
Heizmann, who already gave the green light for the new plant in July 2010, underlined the good cooperation with the Chinese partners throughout the entire project for the new plant. 'With a construction period of two years, we are even opening our new facility in Yizheng earlier than planned. This is one of the most environmentally compatible plants of the Volkswagen Group. With advanced technologies and new production processes, we intend to continue to play an instrumental role in the future of China as an automobile country,' Heizmann continued.
Yizheng works to the highest painting standards and uses geothermal energy for the heating and cooling of the factory halls. For recharging transfer trucks at the plant and as well as employees' e-bikes, solar panels are used throughout the plant. Volkswagen is therefore setting new standards for sustainable, resource-efficient automobile production in China. By 2018, the Volkswagen Group intends to make its worldwide production 25 per cent more environmentally compatible. Advanced production processes coupled with measures to reduce energy consumption are the key elements in this strategy.
The People's Republic of China is the Volkswagen Group's largest sales market. In 2011, Volkswagen delivered 2.26 million vehicles to customers in China. In the first half of 2012, deliveries rose by 17.5 per cent to about 1.30 million units. With new products in line with market requirements, the objective of Volkswagen Group China is to increase annual production capacity to about four million units by 2018.


← Is it Hard for You?
We've been watching an incredible series on TBRI – Trust Based Relational Intervention – to help us build trust based parenting skills to use at home. One of the practices they use over and over is giving the kids a re-do.
Disrespectful tone? Say it again nicer.
Forgot to ask, instead told/commanded? Try again.
Instead of punishing the person, they give them the opportunity to connect and try again. I'll be honest, I thoroughly love watching these. They are full of useful helps like this.
Yet, in the real world, when the kids are awake once again, it's easy to use the same old, same old.
And I froze. That wasn't the response I wanted to use. I blew it. I hung up another shirt, while shaking my head at myself. Next time, I'll try it the right way next time.
I got to fulfill her request, reach something that was too tall for her to reach, and connect with her. And she got to have her do over and see that asking nicely produces better results.
Parents get a do over too. It's a lot like apologizing – we have to tell pride to take a hike, and we have to tell ourselves not to wait until next time. Try again this time. Don't let this moment pass without learning how to respond to and lead your kids better.
They get a do over when they mess up so they can practice the right behavior and hopefully turn the right behavior into a habit. We get a do over for the exact same reason.

More and more states are passing legislation making it unlawful for companies to request pay history from a candidate. I am here to tell you that that's okay! Pay history isn't really the important variable.
The candidate's expectation based on what's fair and competitive for their skill set.
The company's expectations on salary for the scope of the role.
And of course internal equity.
The previous rule was that you get through the first face-to-face interview before the salary topic is approached. The thought process is that there is no sense in bringing up dollars and cents if you aren't interested in the job or if the hiring manager and/or HR screening folks aren't interested in you.
While this rule still holds true, if you are exploring each other's expectations in a general sense, it is less important than it once was. A nitty gritty discussion on nickels and dimes is still best served towards the end of the interview process.
The broad discussion has been had regarding expectations.
Things have gone well throughout the interview process.
An offer is ready to be made and you are ready to hear the job offer.
You receive the job offer but it's not quite there yet.
If it is a negotiation that you want, then you need to tell the employer that you're serious and bought into working with them. Balance that by saying why—or under what conditions—you would be happy to accept an offer.
2. This sounds basic, but it's so true….People are going to fight for you only if they like you.
Anything you do in a negotiation that makes you less likable reduces the chances that the other side will work to get you a better offer. This is about managing inevitable tensions in negotiation, such as asking without seeming greedy, and pointing out deficiencies in the offer without seeming petty.
3. Always tell the story that goes with your counteroffer.
So now you've carefully relayed your counteroffer and they come back and meet your demands. Well…..you better prepared to accept. Never ever decline if your demands have been met! Burning bridges can travel fast through the market. Unless something has changed on your end, and you better be prepared to explain what it is, it's time to accept.

What America's Bomber Force of the Future Will Look Like
November 30, 2021 Topic: Air Force Bombers Region: United States Blog Brand: The Reboot Tags: U.S. Air ForceB-21 RaiderB-2 SpiritB-1BB-52 Bomber
The composition of the future bomber force will primarily consist of seventy-six upgraded B-52 Stratofortress bombers and a yet-to-be-determined number of B-21 Raiders.
by Kris Osborn
Here's What You Need to Know: For many years now, the Air Force has maintained that its bomber fleet size was insufficient to meet the demand of the Defense Department's combatant commanders. At several points in recent years, senior military officials have regularly referred to a "bomber deficit."
The number of bomber aircraft in the Air Force's fleet will be decided by budget deliberations, future debates and other variables related to the threat environment. But even now, the composition of the military service's bomber force is beginning to more fully take shape.
Currently, the B-1B Lancer aircraft and B-2 Spirit are undergoing upgrades that will allow them to have an extended lifespan. This will sustain the size of the bomber fleet until larger numbers of the B-21 Raider arrive. Eventually, the look and make-up of the future bomber force will primarily consist of seventy-six upgraded B-52 Stratofortress bombers and a yet-to-be-determined number of B-21 Raiders. It's notable that the number 149 is regularly mentioned in discussions about the B-21 Raiders even though the success of the weapon program and its anticipated performance may lead the Air Force to increase that number.
"We are getting the B-21 and keeping in on track," Lt. Gen. David Nahom, the Air Force's deputy chief of staff for plans and programs told The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. Nahom went on to express concerns about the upcoming transition into a bomber fleet comprised predominantly of B-21 Raiders and noted that "transitions are tough because resources can overlap."
Nahom seems to suggest that there could be some friction created by efforts to produce and deploy new B-21 Raiders while simultaneously sustaining and upgrading a smaller force of B-2 Spirits and B-1B Lancers. For example, there are only twenty B-2 Spirit bombers but they are being outfitted with upgrades so that they can fly alongside the B-21 Raider for a decade or two. These bomber aircraft are already thirty years old. Meanwhile, the B-2 Lancer is almost an entirely new aircraft due to the Defensive Management System Modernization program, which improves its ability to locate enemy air defenses and evade them. Additionally, it supplies the aircraft with a computer processor that is one-thousand-fold faster among other things. The Air Force intends to ensure that there is a smooth and successful transition as it increases the number of its B-21 Raiders while upgrading the B-2 Lancers. The military service plans for the B-21 Raiders and B-2 Lancers to complement one another and offer mission support for several decades to come.
For many years now, the Air Force has maintained that its bomber fleet size was insufficient to meet the demand of the Defense Department's combatant commanders. At several points in recent years, senior military officials have regularly referred to a "bomber deficit." Years ago, the original plan was for the Air Force to acquire one hundred B-21 Raiders. But plans change. The speed and success of the transition program, coupled with the need for more bomber aircraft due to the global threat environment, could lead to an increase in the demand for the B-21 Raiders. Thus, it would be unsurprising if the Air Force changed that plan and increased the number of B-21 Raiders.

Words of wisdom from a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
Editor's note: Below is the text to a recent New York Times advertisement featuring Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel's call to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Publication of Wiesel's statement was sponsored by This World: The Values Network.
If there is one lesson I hope the world has learned from the past, it is that regimes rooted in brutality must never be trusted. And the words and actions of the leadership of Iran leave no doubt as to their intentions.
Should we who believe in freedom trust a regime which murdered its own citizens in the streets of Tehran, when the people protested a stolen election in the Green Revolution of Summer, 2009?
America, too, defines itself by its words and actions. America adopted me, as it did so many others, and gave me a home after my people were exterminated in the camps of Europe. And from the time of the founding fathers, America has always stood up to tyrants. Our nation is morally compromised when it contemplates allowing a country calling for the destruction of the State of Israel to remain within reach of nuclear weapons.


Employment Tribunal fees – are you entitled to a refund?
Applications for the refund of Employment Tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal fees that were paid between 29th July 2013 and 26th July 2017 are currently open.
Prior to a decision of the Supreme Court, claimants, respondents and third party representatives may have paid fees under the Employment Tribunals and Employment Appeal Tribunals Fees Order 2013 ("the Fees Order") which was introduced on 29th July 2013.
The fees payable under the Fees Order differed depending on whether the claim was brought by a single claimant or a group and whether the claim was classified as a type A claim or a type B claim.
For individual claims: Type A claims, such as those for holiday or statutory redundancy pay, had an application fee of £160 and a hearing fee of £230. Type B claims, including unfair dismissal or discrimination had an application fee of £250 and a hearing fee of £950.
The Fees Order resulted in a substantial fall in the number of claims raised in Employment Tribunals. In 2017 there was approximately 100,000 less claims raised in Employment Tribunals than in the year prior to the introduction of the Fees Order. Following this a legal challenge was raised by the trade union UNISON.
In the case R (on the application of UNISON) v Lord Chancellor , the Supreme Court unanimously held that the Fees Order was unlawful under both domestic and EU law because it prevented access to justice. The Fees Order was also held to be indirectly discriminatory under the Equality Act 2010. It was found that a higher proportion of women raise a type B claim rather than a type A claim which particularly disadvantages women due to the higher fee payable. As a result of this decision fees are no longer payable in connection with making an application to the Employment Tribunal.
Employment Tribunal claims have increased sharply following the Supreme Court ruling issued on 26th July 2017. According to an article published in Scottish Legal News, following the abolition of tribunal fees there has been a 60% rise in the number of Employment Tribunal claims compared with those in the previous year.
If you paid fees at an Employment Tribunal or Employment Appeal Tribunal between 29th July 2013 and 26th July 2017 you may be entitled to a refund.
If you are entitled to a refund, you will be refunded all of the fees you paid plus 0.5% interest for each year that has passed. For example, if you paid £1,200 in fees 2 years ago, you will receive £1,212.
If you think that you may be entitled to a refund and you require further assistance, please contact Megan Cullen, Trainee Solicitor at our Leven office.
Alternatively, if you require any advice on employment law then please contact Kelly McManus, Solicitor at our Glenrothes office.

Mathews proves saviour again as Sri Lanka defy New Zealand
Posted in Sports News
Former captain Angelo Mathews continued his role as saviour on Sri Lanka's tour of New Zealand as he and Kusal Mendis struck unbeaten hundreds to thwart the host's push for victory on the fourth day of the first test at the Basin Reserve on Tuesday.
Mathews was on 117, while Mendis was 116 not out as they took their side to 259 for three at stumps, having batted together all day and created Sri Lanka's highest partnership for any wicket against New Zealand with a marathon 246-run stand.
It was the first time in test cricket that a full day's play had been completed without a wicket falling since the first day of the second match between South Africa and Bangladesh on Feb. 29, 2008.
The pair's stubborn resistance could prove to be match-saving with rain forecast for the final day on Wednesday.
They had resumed at 20 for three, needing another 276 runs to even make New Zealand bat again, after Tom Latham's maiden double century of 264 not out had powered the hosts to a massive first innings total of 578.
They frustrated New Zealand's bowlers, who resorted to a short-pitched attack early on, changed to a fuller length towards lunch, then virtually shut down the scoring during the middle session with Ajaz Patel shoring up one end.
Nothing, however, worked against Mendis and Mathews, who were untroubled on a pitch offering little in the way of sideways seam movement, although left-arm spinner Patel got the occasional delivery to bite and bounce.
Mendis was the more fluent with some memorable drives down the ground before he brought up his sixth test century shortly after tea when he pulled a short delivery from Neil Wagner fine for his 12th boundary.
Mathews achieved his ninth century about an hour before stumps when he drove Colin de Grandhomme through midwicket for his 11th boundary.
He then proceeded to do some pushups mid-pitch — a potential riposte at the selectors who dropped him in September from the one day squad for fitness reasons.
It was the third successive innings in New Zealand that Mathews has resurrected his side's fortunes when staring at embarrassment.
The 31-year-old top-scored with 83 in Sri Lanka's first innings of 282 and combined with Dimuth Karunaratne for a 133-run partnership after they slumped to nine for three inside the first four overs.
That innings followed on from his score of 128 not out in Sri Lanka's only warmup game against an inexperienced New Zealand selection in Napier, when they had slumped to 104 for nine before he pushed them to 210 for nine declared.
1 Response to Mathews proves saviour again as Sri Lanka defy New Zealand
Matthew & Mendis batted all day. Only 22 batsmen have done that before. This is a great achievement. Matthew proved that he is a specialized test batsman. He has to be consistent. If there isn't a co;;apse tomorrow, SL will save the match.

The Times of India reports that today women make up 70% of medical school students in Andhra Pradesh, India. While that appears to bode well for proponents of gender equality in the sciences, it seems the prestige associated with with a doctor in the family is not the driving force behind parents' supporting their girls in medical careers. Instead, the status and prestige of medical school means the girls are more marriageable. The families of boys seeking wives believe that if there is money for an elite medical school there is certainly money for a big dowry.
Explaining the social trend, a senior doctor said: "If a girl wants to study, parents do not think twice about the repercussions such as dowry and marriage expenses. And, when they are prepared to pay Rs 50 lakh for an MBBS seat, they will also be prepared to loosen their purse strings for the marriage."
Doctors say that while parents usually go by the interests of their children, there are some who also put pressure on their kids to take up the profession. "Till the undergraduate level, girls do very well in studies. However, by the time they finish house surgeonship, a good number of them are already married," says Dr AY Chary, dean of Dr VRK Women's Medical College, the only medical college in the state exclusively meant for women.
This sounds like something out of the 1950s in the US, perhaps as portrayed in the Julia Roberts film, Mona Lisa Smile. In that film girls went to college not to earn university degrees and get good jobs, but to "snag a husband."

Automatic acquisition of citizenship after birth
Children born outside the US are automatically US citizens provided they meet all the requirements under the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 (CCA).
The statutory requirements are: (1) at least one parent is a U.S. citizen either by birth or by naturalization; (2) the child is under 18 years old; (3) the child is a lawful permanent resident (green card holder); and(4) the child is residing in the US in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent.
The lawful permanent resident requirement is not satisfied if the child was not issued his green card before he turned 18 even though he had applied for it and was assured that he would get it before he turned 18 but it was delayed due to bureaucratic errors committed by the USCIS.
In a recent case, a lawful permanent resident (LPR) was ordered removed by an Immigration Judge due to a previous conviction. He appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals but his appeal was dismissed. He then filed a petition for review with the US Court of Appeals.
He claimed that he was not subject to removal because he became a permanent resident before he turned 18 and therefore automatically became a US citizen under the CCA.
He was born abroad on March 29, 1983. He came to the US with his father who later naturalized and became a US citizen in 1997. He then applied for his lawful permanent resident status. However, although he submitted his application for adjustment of status before he turned 18, it was not until a few years later that his green card was issued.
So, the issue was when he became a lawful permanent resident. If he became a lawful permanent resident before he turned 18 years old, he then automatically became a US citizen under the CCA. If, however, he became a lawful permanent resident after turning 18, he was ineligible for automatic citizenship under the CCA.
The child submitted his application for lawful permanent resident status in 1997, before he turned 18. When he was 17 years old, he was interviewed by a USCIS officer and was given a signed I-89 Form. He was also informed during the said interview that he would receive his green card in three months. Unfortunately, USCIS delayed the issuance of his card for four years and issued it in 2004.
The question raised in the case was: did he really become a US citizen prior to his 18thbirthday? The law states that an alien becomes a lawful permanent resident on the date the order of the Attorney General approving the application for adjustment of status is made. In other words, it is as of the date of the order approving the adjustment of status. In this case, it was when they formally gave him his green card in 2004.
He argued that the government should be stopped from placing him in removal proceedings because the USCIS caused the unreasonable delay in the issuance of his green card which cost him the opportunity to obtain US citizenship. Placing one in estoppel means that said party is not allowed to deny or allege certain facts because of said party's previous conduct, allegation or denial. In this case, because the US government caused the delay in the issuance of the green card, it could not claim that the petitioner did not meet all the requirements for him to be considered as a lawful permanent resident and ultimately, cannot deny him of his automatic US citizenship.
The US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals however said that they cannot stop the government on the facts of the case. It sought guidance from a similar case and said "to state a cause of action for estoppel against the government, a private party must allege more than mere negligence, delay, inaction, or failure to follow an internal agency guideline. Instead, the petitioner must establish, among other things, affirmative misconduct of the government." In this case, he failed to provide evidence of affirmative misconduct on the part of the government, thus his petition was denied.


Is there no plans to implement this? For those of us with LCDs its a much needed feature. I should invest in a CRT for old school games..
As I said in another topic, I will consider this suggestion in the future once more.
Bringing high res support cannot reduce compatibility with games.
Thanks for your response, and your work on the wrapper!

"Mother Tongue" by Amy Tan, Analysis
"Mother Tongue" by Amy Tan
In her critical essay "Mother Tongue," Amy Tan expresses the variances of how different linguistic identities can clearly impact the overall life of people of different cultural backgrounds. Tan compares the speaking style that she was taught by her mother and says it was different from that learned from teachers and classmates at school. In this essay, Tan wants to emphasize that there is no clearly right speaking style, and people should respect representatives of other cultural backgrounds, no matter if their speech is different from the one accepted by the community.
In her essay, Amy Tan often uses the words "broken," "fractured," "limited," etc. They add the negative acceptance of variations of English she has to face in her daily living experience. Indeed, as a simple Chinese child, she had nothing more to accept but variances in the community. Anyway, Amy expects that these variances should not be taken as deviances, but only as driving benefits of cultural diversity.
The work is written in simple and easy-to-understand English. Amy is aware that her writing style is acceptable by the standard norms of grammar, syntax, punctuation, and orthography. To some extent, she uses numerous colloquial words and phrases that serve the goal to highlight her experiences in daily life routine. Overall, the writing style presented by Amy Tan is interesting and captivating: she grants readers an opportunity to compare the life of immigrants with the life of ordinary residents who rarely have problems in communication.
Amy Tan presents an alternative opinion of how to deal with daily life troubles that community adds to the communication of people. In most cases, the greatest problem is a set of prejudices against deviances to the speech norm. We are all people who should respect differences and add them into the frames of functionality. No matter where we meet representatives of other cultural backgrounds, we have to respect their rights and chances to form a unique "linguistic identity."
Amy Tan offers the term "linguistic identity," in comparison to gender, national, ethnic identity. The author of the essay is aware that it is significant to have a unique speaking style that highlights the most important correlates of the ordinary living being. For Amy, her "mother tongue" matters much, because her mother was speaking differently, and it influenced her sensitivity of home. For her, "linguistic identity" starts right from her birth when she did not know anything about the "correct" grammar of English, but anyway she received the sense of home, transferred to her by her mom. It is for any person who speaks a unique style that brings comfort to communication based on understandability. It is the most important feature of intercultural communication that makes the surrounding atmosphere culturally appropriate.
How to reach the acceptance of the unique "linguistic identity" in the world of prejudices? Amy Tan supports the position that people in the world have to respect variances in the speaking style because any person brings forward the ideas of how to deal with communication problems. In many cases, these issues are relevant to communication barriers that make it hard for people to understand one another. However, in any case, it is common to respect even these variations, so that to accept any person from a different culture with care. Amy Tan highlights the common term "broken English" as the one that is not acceptable in relevance to the people of different culture. It matters much, specifically in the context of disrespect, as if "brokenness" is "abnormality." Amy Tan is convinced that people have to use this term with more care, so that not to bring harm to communication. Of course, people who have deviances in communication should take more care in relation to "tailoring up" their speech habit. However, on the other hand, they should not have to forget their "mother tongue" that makes up their daily life in the colors of home, friendship, and closeness.
In order to take away the language barrier, people just have to make the first step towards enhancing the mechanisms of communication. The facilitation of it is possible not rather using the correct grammar rules, but by adding the atmosphere of comfort and sense of friendliness. The main idea of Tan's essay is understandable: people have to respect "linguistic identity" before national, gender and ethnic so that to overcome language barriers. At schools and colleges, we've got to have more respect in relevance to different cultural backgrounds. Praising the diversity is essential in regards to productive intercultural communication.

Since Pluto will be retrograding on April 20th, it seems fitting to explore Pluto in Donald Trump's Chart.
In Astrology, the planet Pluto represents our ancestral karma or to put it in more practical terms, it represents what is in our DNA. In all spiritual traditions, there is debt to pay for the ancestors (also known as the sins of the fathers being passed down up to seven generations)!
Pluto also represents aspects of the manipulative side of ourselves and where and how we manipulate ourselves and others. Pluto energy is hidden power and represents "guerilla" warfare, giving us the ability to smile while twisting the knife.
Pluto is not all bad since it helps us to transform and represents passion. In its highest and most evolved expression, we can see Pluto as the evolutionary part of ourselves. As with all of Astrology, the expression of any energy can be positive or negative depending on how conscious we are of the most Divine parts of ourselves.
In our continued astrological analysis of Donald Trump's chart, we find the dark, hidden energy tucked away in his 12th house. The 12th house rules the unconscious mind, dreams, connecting to the collective unconscious. It represents a part of ourselves we don't normally give attention or notice. The 12th house has no boundaries and is like trying to see through thick fog.
One has to be careful of playing the victim with energy in this house which we can see in Donald Trump and his tendency to play the victim as a way of manipulating (nothing is ever his fault!) With Pluto in this position, he may also have an obsession with secrets and no boundaries with it. The lack of boundaries can show up with either playing the martyr or keeping secrets or both!
Pluto is all about control issues when a person is not confident. Micro –managing is one way the control issues can manifest. Remember the position of Pluto makes these tendencies hidden to the person who has them. To everyone else, it is simply obvious. Think of it this way, when we are driving into the Sun, it is difficult to see what is right in front of us while the other cars coming toward us sees what is in the road clearly. It is a difficult position since the patterns of Pluto are inherited or at the very least "unfinished business".
Since Pluto is in Leo in his chart, we once again have to go back to his Sun Sign in Gemini.
Gemini is versatile, mimics well, the person knows a little about a lot of things, bores easily and is curious.
Most of all this is the house of dreams! Many times, people with this placement, have horrific dreams and end up not sleeping well. So it is not surprising Trump's sleeping habits are what they are.
Just by watching the news we can see Trump's chart fulfill itself.
In the next blog we explore upcoming events in Donald Trump's Chart.

Meghan Markle has been named one of the 'most respected' royals by the public

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have stepped down as royal family members and relocated to California, but that certainly doesn't stop them from making headlines.
This past year has been no exception as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed the news that they would not be returning to royal duties, took part in a tell-all interview with Oprah and launched a documentary series on mental health.
They most recently announced the birth of their daughter, Lilibet Diana, releasing a moving statement to express how blessed they feel.
Meghan Markle continues to make the most news, from her viral Pimm's cup recipe to the gift that she bought her future daughter from her Suits days. This week however, it was an honour that made the Duchess of Sussex headline news.
Meghan was announced this week as one of the 'most respected' royals, as voted for by the public.
A new poll by youth health charity stem4 saw 1032 people between the ages of 13 and 25 vote for the high profile names they respect the most, and Meghan was among those to receive the honour.
The Queen unsurprisingly took the top spot as the 'most respected' royal family member, with 26% of the the votes.
Next up however, was Meghan herself with 21% , sharing second place with her husband Prince Harry. And further down the list was Kate Middleton and Prince William, with 11% each.
'To earn the respect of young people today you don't need to earn a fortune or have good looks,' announced Dr Nihara Krause, Founder and CEO at stem4.
'It's far more important that you show bravery, resilience, and compassion for others and for nature. Those are certainly qualities the Queen shares with some of the other names on this list such as David Attenborough and Marcus Rashford.'
Congratulations to everyone featured!

Mars image from NASA causes irritation: to see 'partially buried skeletons'?
Abigail Anderson November 28, 2021 4 min read
NASA spacecraft sends images from Mars to Earth. These things can be seen that cannot be found on the red planet.
Pasadena – the planet Mars is currently unavailable to humans – perhaps for this reason it inspires many and stimulates the imagination. What people on the Red Planet are interpreting can be seen over and over again when new images of NASA's Curiosity rover, or "Perseverance", are released. Sometimes there is talk of a "strange building" on Mars, and sometimes people who have seen a picture of Mars wonder if it is on it rainbow can be seen*.
One thing is for sure: there is no limit to the imagination when it comes to images of the Red Planet, as evidenced by the image taken by NASA already in August 2021. Published as "Picture of the Day in Astronomy" she has. The image reminds him of "partially buried skeletons," Twitter user @nickstew_art writes and continues, "It's the way the winds have stripped the surface to expose the layers of rock below. It's really a cemetery planet."
The NASA rover knew "Perseverance" and the "Rochet" stone that the rover would dig a few days after this recording. The recording reminds the Twitter user of "partially buried skeletons".

NASA's Mars Mission: Probe Sends Strange Image to Earth – Can Skeletons Be Seen?
According to NASA, the image was taken by the "Perseverance" rover on Mars on its 180th day on Mars (August 22, 2021). A large stone can be seen in the center of the image, which the researchers dubbed "Rochet". The plan is for the rover to examine the stone with its two-meter-long robotic arm. If it has the right consistency, a rock sample will be taken, as was said in August.
See also A More Sustained Immune Response Through Memory B Cells - The Practice of Healing
It actually happened in September: the Perseverance rover drilled two holes in the stone and sent several selfies to Earth with a "Rochette". The rock samples must also reach the ground at some point. It is currently planned that a future Mars mission will transport soil samples collected by the "perseverant" rover and prepare to return to Earth.
NASA on Mars: Rover Photographs Things That Don't Exist There
NASA's rovers keep taking pictures of things on Mars that shouldn't exist on the Red Planet — and they don't, either. In fact, the human brain likes to play tricks when looking at images taken from Mars. A "female figure" has already been discovered in the rock of Mars, a "floating spoon"* or "pyramid".
NASA assures us that no human bones can be seen in this image of Mars from 2014. Erosion (by wind or water) made the stone look like this.
The phenomenon at play here is called pareidolia and ensures that people believe they are learning about known things in the unknown: for example, a woman dancing on the strange planet Mars. This phenomenon, a kind of "auto-completion" in the brain, also occurs on Earth – for example when you see a face on the moon or recognize terrestrial objects in cloud formations.
Discovering bones on Mars? NASA experts explain what can really be seen in the image
The image of Mars is particularly persistent and is circulated on the Internet over and over again: the image is supposed to show a "human bone" on the surface of Mars. As explained by NASA at the time, the image was taken in 2014 and taken by the Curiosity rover.
"This Mars stone can look like a femur, but team members believe the shape was created by erosion – either from wind or water," That's what NASA says. The Red Planet may never have been able to support organisms more complex than microbes, which is why large fossils are unlikely.

In fact, NASA's Curiosity and Perseverance rover is on Mars to see if the Red Planet once harbored life and if there are still traces of it today.
Another discovery on Mars surprised NASA – "This evidence cannot be covered up." In addition, NASA recently calculated the apocalypse of oxygen – then our planet will run out of air. (tab)

Big Brother's Russell Kairouz: I Have No Regrets
by Reality Tea on September 1st, 2009
One of the most controversial houseguests in Big Brother history, Russell Kairouz, is speaking out about his time in the Big Brother house. The 24-year-old mixed martial artist was known for his in your face aggressive game play on BB. Russell touted himself as, "the best combination of intelligence, strength, and charisma."
In a new interview with PEOPLE, Russell speaks out about who has played the best game so far, how a banana slipped him up and why he has no regrets. Below are excerpts from this interview –
Did you really think that you could flip Kevin and have him vote against Natalie?
Yes, I did think I could flip Kevin because I'm a stronger competitor than Natalie and I didn't see why he wouldn't have wanted me as an ally because she has not won anything.
Jeff has been solidly in control, but Kevin is coming along as the dark horse. Who has played the best game so far?
So far, Kevin is playing the best game. He's stayed under the radar and has avoided all conflict.
What's the singular moment where it all went horribly wrong for you?
There wasn't a singular moment … I just didn't win the OTEV Power of Veto … damn banana with Laura's name on it. My game play was perfect up to that point.
Do you have any regrets about making Ronnie cry, threatening Jeff or verbally abusing Jordan?
Not at all. They all signed on the BB dotted line and knew what they were getting in to when they went into the BB house. If they don't have a tough skin, that's not my fault.
You had a noble purpose to win — you wanted to give the money to your parents. Do you think your mom and dad are proud of the way that you treated the women on the show?
I did not separate anyone on the show by race, gender or religion. Everyone was an equal game player in my mind and subject to the same game play from me. Anything that went on during the game was strategy and an attempt to use to my advantage … My persona on the show was a character [and ] in no way a true representation of me. My family is well aware of this.
What would you have done differently?
I would have withheld some information that I knew about people.
Who are you going to stay in contact with? why?
Jessie and Casey. They were my two closest relationships in the house.
You are joining Lydia and Jessie in their love nest that is the Jury house. How prepared are you to be the third wheel?
I'm ready to become the third wheel … I don't have a strategy on how to manage the next few days, but it's all good. I'll be hiding my sweaters for sure.
Your mantra seems to be, "Either love me, or hate me." Did that worked against you in the house, where slipping under the radar is often more effective?
Slipping under the radar only works for some people. My personality and stature … it doesn't work … not a viable option.
How many people in the house ended up loving you and how many ended up hating you?
I don't care who loved me, I came to make money … not friends. Having said that, I hold no grudge against anyone.
You told me that your strategy was, "I will charm to get my way. I will flirt with who I think I can get the most out of." When were you planning on using either one of those?
You've seen the show, right? For a moment in time, it worked on Chima. Beyond that, it only worked at the beginning of the game to get Michele on my side.
Are you going to look Ronnie up and apologize to him and his wife at any point?
It was all part of the game … If they can't separate true reality from a game, they should not enter the realm of BB where the game revolved around lying, cheating and deceit. I don't know Ronnie's wife … My comments were game-play.
What did you learn about yourself in the house?
I learned that I have the ability to act as different characters in a stressful environment while simultaneously playing a game for 56 days, 24-7!
What was with the suits at the eviction ceremonies? You dressed each time like you were going to a funeral. Is that somehow strategy or vanity?
I have my own style … like it or not. I dressed on Thursday the way I did because I knew I was going home and was separating myself from the game.
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear "technotronic"?
Moron.
Chima Simone Speaks Out – I Quit Big Brother!
by Reality Tea on August 16th, 2009
Chima Simone of Big Brother 11 is speaking out for the first time since leaving the show. BigBrotherExaminer was able to get an email from Chima explaining her side of what supposedly happened.
Our first report on this story yesterday was that Chima had quit. CBS then put out a statement claiming the producers kicked her off the show. Well Chima is now saying she did "in fact quit the show." Her words are below –
"Yes, I did in fact quit the show, although there are reports on EW from CBS to the contrary. Big Brother would like everyone to believe I was kicked off for not following the rules, but I went to the producers repeatedly over the past couple of days wanting to leave….wanting out of that house!
As crazy as that house is, the producers NEVER want the world to think or know that we houseguests DO LEAVE when it becomes futile to stay. I lost faith in the show & my ability to remain committed to this game. All of the remaining housemates know I wanted to leave and that is why any conversation concerning me is cut in the live feed because they don't want America to hear the truth about my voluntary departure.
Do you really believe that I would be expelled for tossing my microphone when past houseguests have only been kicked off for violence & threats of violence? You know better, as do I.
It's better that I left. I did what was best for me in this game and that was to leave. When I chose to play & play hard the power I did earn was completely usurped by a game piece never used before in this game and my HOH reign was rendered useless. I have no regrets. As cliche' as it sounds, until the public is a part of a human pressure cooker, then the judgements should cease.
I find it interesting that my personal attacks on Russell have been highlighted, but his attacks on me pushed under a rug. Selective portrayals? I think so. Russell did terrorize the house, especially the women in the house. Why America constantly finds men attacking women okay, yet vilifies the woman defending herself, will always confound me. But what's done is done, now BB fans can find a new woman to hate. I didn't sign up for what I was exposed to & I left gladly. It was the principle of the matter, the $500,000 prize be damned. That's all for now! Take Care…'

CBS: Chima Simone Was Kicked Off Big Brother!
There is a new twist in the whole Chima Simone leaving the Big Brother house saga. We reported earlier today that Chima quit the show, but CBS has now issued an official statement saying Chima was kicked off the show by the producers. The statement is below –
"Chima has been evicted by the producers from the Big Brother house for violating the rules. She will not be part of the show's jury. Her eviction will be addressed on an upcoming broadcast of the show."
It was assumed that Chima had quit based on her actions on Friday, and her past threats to quit the show. When the feeds came back on today, the other houseguests also seemed to be under the assumption she had quit. Can't wait to see the footage of what really happened.
MORE SPOILERS BELOW –

Big Brother 11 ended last night with the house guests fighting for the new HOH title in an endurance competition. Julie Chen announced the cliques were done with. About time in my opinion, let the games begin! We have some major spoilers below, so do not read any further if you do not want to know what happened.
And how great was Casey's speech last night?

Southern Belles Louisville Jeff And His Other Woman – Katie King
by Reality Tea on July 25th, 2009
People are still buzzing about the season finale of Soapnet's Southern Belles: Lousiville, which revealed Jeff Stovall cheated on his fiance, Shea Johnson. To thicken the plot, the "other woman" just happened to be Louisville Judge, Katie King.
Katie had also appeared on previous episodes of the show due to cast member, Hadley, helping her with her campaign. The good folks at Springston blogspot (a blog about Louisville New & Politics) were able to get the above photo of Katie and Jeff. The picture was allegedly taken on July 10th during a birthday bash Katie threw for someone. Katie took down the pictures, but the Springston blogger was able to save a copy.
I wonder why Katie would take the pictures down if she had nothing to be ashamed of. And is it just me or does Katie look rather aged for being only 29 years old? Katie seems to be a rather controversial figure in the city of Louisville. There are rumors of drug use, as well as a supposed restraining order taken out against her by an ex boyfriend. Interesting.
There are also reports that Katie and Jeff are no longer together.
Southern Belles: Louisville Ends With A Shocker!
by Reality Tea on July 23rd, 2009
The season finale of Soapnet's Southern Belle: Lousville ended tonight with quite a shocker.
We first find out Kellie decided to stay in Louisville rather than moving to Chicago with her boyfriend, Jeff. Kellie decides to end her pattern of depending too much on the men in her life. Was very happy to see Kellie make this choice. Something about Jeff just doesn't come off right. He seemed a bit cold in my opinion when telling Kelly he did not want to have children with her in the past episodes.
Julie decides to take charge of her life, and asks a younger guy out. The show says they two are still dating. Emily breaks the news of moving to Vegas to her father, who finally gives her his blessing. Hadley finally sees what we all see in Russ and decides to end things with him. We also find out Hadley and Kellie will be working together on Kelly's new dating business – "Dating Sucks."
The show definitely saved the best for last when we see a much thinner Shea tearfully talk about her heartbreak. Shea informs us that she found out her fiance, Jeff Stovall, was cheating on her the same week her mother died. To make things worse, Jeff was with the other woman the night her mom was being buried.
This was quite a shocker. Though I had heard the rumors that the engagement was over, I did not expect it to be due to infidelity. The two seemed to be loving together, especially when Shea gave in and agreed to get the big house Jeff wanted.
There is a rumor going around that the woman Jeff cheated with was Katie King. The same Katie that Hadley was campaigning for in earlier episodes. I'm not certain on the accuracy of this. Others are saying Jeff is still with the woman he cheated on Shea with, whomever that might be. I really felt for Shea tonight. Having to bury her mother and cancel her wedding in the same week has to be tough. According to the show, Jeff refused to appear on camera to talk about what happened.
UPDATE – It's pretty much confirmed that the woman Jeff was cheating with was indeed Katie King. Shea also updated her facebook status last night sarcastically saying "Your Honor Katie King." Katie is a Judge by the way. Pretty pathetic for someone in Katie's position to do such a thing.

Rare 'corpse flower' about to bloom at U. of I. greenhouse
A rare tropical plant indigenous to the rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia, is about to blossom in Central Illinois. An exotic titan arum, also called the "corpse flower" (Bunga Bankai) for the rotting-meat odor that the plant emits, is displaying characteristic signs that it is about to bloom, according to Debbie Black, the manager of the Plant Biology greenhouse on the University of Illinois campus where the plant was grown.

IT'S STARTING TO BLOOM!!!
Hours to go see it:
Friday (today) until 9 PM
Saturday 10AM till 9 PM
Sunday 11 AM till 5 PM
Smell will be the strongest tonight apparently, but still very strong tomorrow. Better go see it this weekend, because by Monday it will be fading.
I'm not a flower person, so what's the deal about this flower?
haha watching the streaming video, everyone is walking up and smelling it! Why? If it smells like a dead animal why would you want to smell it?

Here's the original UI press release, gives some more info on it:
http://news.illinois.edu/news/11/0707corpseflower.html
Because it's pretty unique. No other flowers have such a foul stench!! It actually heats up to mimic a mammal's body temperature, too.
NV Illini 74
What happened?!
Looks like the UI flower could use a touch of viagra added to the miracle grow!
:laugh:
I think it probably fooled the staff. It bloomed ~11 PM Saturday night when no visitors were there to see. It didn't open up fully and was nearly completely closed again by Sunday afternoon. By then the stalk had begun to shrivel, which considering the shape and size seemed inevitable. It had very little odor which was why people were seen sniffing on the webcam, having been warned to expect something foul.
It was an interesting dud. We spent more time checking out other plants and trees in the tropical greenhouse and then the adjoining greenhouses: succulents, ferns, cacti, carnivorous, cash crop, orchids, etc. The program has no funding and relies on donations, so we stuffed their plexiglass box with green and left.

Once again the Ohio State University has to follow in our footsteps.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A rare rain forest plant that's known as a "corpse flower" is almost ready to make its presence known at a greenhouse on the Ohio State University campus.
The 5-foot tall plant that smells like rotting flesh is expected to bloom in the next few days.

Everything you need to lead a Bible study, in person or virtually! More than ever, women are searching for social connection. But sometimes social connection can tempt women into playing the comparison game. In her book Comparison Girl, Shannon Popkin helps women navigate our world of "measuring up" and focus instead on listening to the words of Jesus, who, interestingly enough, never told us not to compare ourselves. Shannon says, "As Comparison Girls, we have a lot to think through. Most of us stumble into comparison thinking only of ourselves--oblivious to the enemy who keeps pressing us to prove we measure up, then shaming us when we don't. But if we're going to leave the bondage and isolation of this measure-up mindset, we've got to start listening to the voice of Jesus, not our enemy. " Whether women meet virtually or in person, Popkin shares personal stories of struggling with comparison in her own life, and she leads women through a six-week study that covers each of the main points in her book: • From Measuring Up to Pouring Out • Comparing Your Sins and Mine • Comparing Wealth • Comparing Skin-Deep Packaging • Comparing Our Ministries • Comparing Status Complete with a copy of Comparison Girl, an accompanying workbook, six videos (both on a DVD and digital links), plus a leader's guide, this kit includes everything you need to lead a Bible study.

I just love any and all baby wipes to clean, hand wiping and I also keep them in my truck for everything. Plus they leave a nice smell.
...in your fridge for really hot days around home, and in you freezer and take the frozen ones on long hot car rides. You can use them to clean the interior of your car too.
I have to buy the sensitive ones for my granddaughter, any suggestions to the better brand? I have been buying the huggies, are they better or not than any other kind?
Yes they are wonderful to have on hand for outings.
I love to keep then in truck for quick clean ups or just to freshing up while on a trip.

A nationwide Mennonite church shut down, now the longest in U.S. history, has Anabaptists scrambling to figure out "where the heck we're going to worship on Sunday morning." Most have decided to give Episcopal churches a whirl.
The Benders and millions of other Mennonites across the country have had to adapt to the Mennonite church shut down.
The Benders have been very confused at various points during the services, but eventually got used to it.
It's not known when the Mennonite church shut down will end, but there are more than a few Mennos who are hoping it lasts a little longer.
