Both Alaska and Hawaii voted on statehood with a simple up/down vote. "Shall Hawaii immediately be admitted into the Union as a State?" asked the ballot in Hawaii.
"Shall Alaska immediately be admitted into the Union as a State?" was the question in Alaska. Each question had two options: Yes or No.
Ballots in Puerto Rico's plebiscites have been more complicated.
In 2012, the first question was, "Do you agree that Puerto Rico should continue to have its present form of territorial status? 46% voted for the status quo and 54% rejected the territorial status.
The second question asked which option voters would prefer from among the viable options of statehood, independence, and Sovereign Free Association. 61% of voters chose statehood.
In 2017, the choice was among statehood, independence, and the current territorial status. If independence had won the vote, there would have been a later vote between simple independence and independence with Sovereign Free Association. 97% of voters chose statehood. The ballot made clear that blank ballots would be ignored.
In the five votes on status in Puerto Rico, statehood has grown in popularity. Both votes this century clearly favored statehood. However, there have been complaints that the votes were too complicated. The 2012 vote was protested by some because some voters left the second question blank. The 2017 vote was boycotted by anti-statehood parties.
No one boycotts a vote they can win.
Now, congressional leaders are asking for a simple up or down vote on statehood such as those held by Hawaii and Alaska, the last two territories to be admitted as states. "Yes" and "No" should be clear enough.

Sonophilia Foundation announces the first-ever Cross-Atlantic Creativity Congress
The Sonophilia Foundation is excited to announce the first-ever Cross-Atlantic Creativity Congress, with the aim of making creativity more tangible.
Creativity: An Essential Skill for the Future
The famous 21st-century artist and philosopher Joseph Beuys was convinced that every human being was an artist; everyone can contribute to a better society by using their creativity. In this sense, he saw society as a democratic work of art and called on everyone to participate creatively in this "social sculpture".
What Beuys presented as a theory in the 1960s was still far too progressive for the rigid hierarchies of that time. Today, however, many innovative organizations work exactly according to this principle. With flat hierarchies and homogeneous structures, they try to give their people the opportunity to actively shape the future.
According to the Future of Jobs Report by the World Economic Forum, today's complex and disruptive economic environment calls for an "innovation imperative," and thus catapults creativity to one of the top-five skills. Similarly, a global survey conducted by IBM Research agrees that creative skills for today's business leaders are even more essential than typical managerial competencies. Further studies confirm that creativity is not only relevant for business, but also for happiness, mental health and overall social well-being.
As a result, years of economics and social anthropology research establish creativity, without doubt, as the primary driver of innovation, progress and prosperity.
The Mission of the CACC
What is creativity truly and how can it be learned, studied, measured and predicted? What might creativity itself predict about the future, innovation capabilities, and resilience of a society?
With the dawn of new instruments and methodologies in neuroscience, psychology and technology, we are now closer than ever to unveiling the myths around creativity and to bringing creative competencies to more people in society through education, culture and work.
To this end, the 1st Cross-Atlantic Creativity Congress in Salzburg connects cutting-edge scientists, innovators and decision-makers from diverse backgrounds to explore synergies that bridge the worlds of research, culture, business, arts, education and society.
CACC Participants
We are kick-starting the widest-ranging conversations and synergies about understanding and disseminating creativity from a scientific point of view. We are addressing primarily:
– International scholars
– Business executives
– Artists & cultural managers
– Educators
– Policymakers
– Furthermore, we welcome everyone who is interested in making creativity more tangible.

Republican representatives say they are not concerned that McCarthy has conceded too much
New US Speaker of the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) speaks to reporters in Statuary Hall after being elected Speaker of the US House of Representatives in late night 15th ballot during the fourth session of the 118th Congress at the US Capitol in Washington, US, January 7, 2023.
Jon Cherry | Reuters
After a chaotic week in the US House of Representatives over Kevin McCarthy's bid for speaker, Republican representatives said Sunday they are not afraid he has given up too much to secure the gavel.
After 14 failed votes since Tuesday, the California Republican was able to overcome the opposition after making extraordinary concessions to a small bloc of far-right holdouts who refused to support his bid as speaker.
Republican Representative Scott Perry, who was one of the most outspoken opponents of McCarthy's speaker offer, swung his vote for McCarthy on the 12th ballot. He said on Sunday that the concessions made by McCarthy will function as a mechanism to get things done and rule over things like the debt limit.
"This is never about Kevin McCarthy. This is about power for the American people," Perry told ABC's "This Week." "And with all due respect, Nancy Pelosi ran Congress like a prison camp with no accountability."
Representative Andy Barr, R-Ky., said Sunday that he is not afraid that Kevin McCarthy conceded too much to get the speakership. He said he understands why Americans were frustrated with how long it took to elect a speaker, but that a healthy democracy requires debate.
"The process that we went through this week was pretty healthy from a standpoint to sorting out all of these issues now," he told ABC's "This Week."
In his maiden speech, McCarthy presented an ambitious plan to address the 118th session of Congress early Saturday morning, saying he wants to "be in control and bring some balance" to President Joe Biden's policies.
He said the first legislation he plans to tackle would withdraw funding from more than 87,000 new IRS agents. He highlighted immigration reform as a top priority and said the Republican-controlled House will hold some of its first hearings of the year on the southern border.
Rep. Dan Bishop, RN.C., said he thinks McCarthy is "an extraordinarily talented leader," and is confident there will be a lot of work to be done while he is speaking.
He told NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday that the speaker's vote was not "dysfunctioning chaos" as many people claimed. It gave the Republicans a chance to take a good look at each other.
"It was deciding the key equations of how this Congress is going to go forward, and we've accomplished a tremendous amount," he said.
Democratic representatives were less optimistic.
Massachusetts Democrat Katherine Clark told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday that she thinks House Republicans were trying to distract Americans from their legislative agenda.
"When they talk about processes, it's a smokescreen," she said.
But House Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries said if McCarthy is willing to try to find common ground, he will find willing partners among House Democrats.
"Obviously we're going to have strong disagreements at times, but we can agree to disagree without being obnoxious," he told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.

Tracking complex corporate relationships to detect fraud
The three-year project is funded by a nearly $1 million DARPA Young Faculty award and led by Paul Gazzillo, an assistant professor in UCF's Department of Computer Science.
"Complex corporate relationships allow criminals, adversaries, and others to hide activities in plain sight using legal, but complex, cross-jurisdictional businesses," Gazzillo says. "Helping law enforcement and intelligence to accelerate investigations into these relationships could help them in their efforts."
('DFP-EW-InRead1');
This automated assistance could help prevent organizations from making fraudulent claims that don't get caught. For example, companies that received COVID-19 Paycheck Protection Program loans when they shouldn't have could have been prevented by cross referencing applications with publicly available corporation data.
('DFP-EW-Parallax-Mobile');
('DFP-EW-Parallax-Desktop');
Or it could help root out potential breach avenues, such as when a security flaw in a subcontractor's system may have exposed consumers' credit card data, which is the suspected cause of the 2013 hack of Target.
Gazzillo's approach to tracking corporate relationships that are obfuscated in complex systems is to make disparate systems "talk" to each other.
"The key challenge is the gap between existing corporate relationship data — which are described informally in natural language — what humans are used to, and automated reasoning tools, which expect a highly formalized logical language that computers can work with more easily," he says.
To overcome this challenge, the researcher will work to define corporate relationship data in machine-readable terms, use machine transformation techniques to convert relationship data in existing datasets, and create algorithms that can automatically analyze and report on the data.
"If successful, our research will act as an investigative force multiplier for national and economic security, such as FBI special agents tracking financial crime through the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency and investigators rooting out foreign influence on defense subcontractors," Gazzillo says. "By automating tracking, we can reduce the time needed to trace and record connections between entities, which will both accelerate investigations and reduce human error. This in turn should allow an investigator to explore more vulnerable corporate connections and take on more cases in less time compared to manual tracking."

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm Star Rudy Giuliani Tests Positive for COVID-19, According to Trump
By Rebecca Alter@ralter

Someone tell Kate McKinnon to get to work on next week's cold open. According to Donald Trump, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm co-star Rudy Giuliani has tested positive for the novel coronavirus. On the afternoon of December 6, the president tweeted that the former mayor of New York City and current proponent of the "election fraud" conspiracy "has tested positive for the China Virus," which is Trump's xenophobic pet name for the disease that has killed over 280,000 Americans under his administration to date.
.@RudyGiuliani, by far the greatest mayor in the history of NYC, and who has been working tirelessly exposing the most corrupt election (by far!) in the history of the USA, has tested positive for the China Virus. Get better soon Rudy, we will carry on!!!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2020
Giuliani, who had something like sixth billing to Borat earlier this year and who put cultural icon Four Seasons Total Landscaping on the map, has traveled to many states within the last week on business as Trump's lawyer, the Washington Post points out. In many of his public appearances from the past week, Giuliani was seen not wearing a mask. Giuliani has not yet released a statement about the diagnosis.

Harvesting Brussels sprouts provides a nutritious side dish on the table, and learning when to harvest Brussels sprouts can make your experience more flavorful. As with most vegetables, learning how to pick Brussels sprouts at the right time is a worthwhile endeavor.
Picking Brussels sprouts should begin when the sprouts are one inch in diameter. Harvesting Brussels sprouts is best done when maturity occurs in cooler weather. Lower sprouts will mature first, with upper sprouts maturing a day to a few days later. With most hybrid varieties it takes upwards of 85 days for the sprout to reach maturity.
The open pollinated variety, 'Rubine' can take 105 days or longer to maturity. Rubine is somewhat less productive than many hybrid varieties, but may be your choice if you wish to harvest Brussels sprouts that are not of hybrid types.
'Long Island Improves' is an open pollinated type that produces in about 90 days, but is not a guaranteed performer.
When picking Brussels sprouts from hybrid plants, begin checking for ripe vegetables after 80 days. Indications that the vegetable is ready include size of the Brussels sprout and firmness. Picking Brussels sprouts, no matter the variety, is best done during cool days, so plant the crop accordingly, about three months before you want to begin picking Brussels sprouts.
When the Brussels sprout begins to form near bottom leaves, removing these plant leaves will often aid in getting ready for harvesting Brussels sprouts. This is often done by those growing and picking Brussels sprouts commercially. If leaf removal is not done before harvesting Brussels sprouts, remove the leaves afterward so they will not take energy from maturing sprouts on the plant. Breaking off the Brussels sprout often breaks the leave off. Some growers remove the top of the plant to direct energy to the vegetable before picking Brussels sprouts.
When are Brussels Sprouts Ready to Pick?
Learning how to pick Brussels sprouts and when to harvest Brussels sprouts, no matter the variety, involves a few critical points. Picking is best done before the leaves of the sprout turn yellow and begin opening. Sprouts should be firm and about an inch in diameter for optimum flavor and nutrients. Pick spouts from the bottom of plants and check daily for more sprouts that are ready.
Learning when to harvest Brussels sprouts is not difficult if you plant at the right time and follow these suggestions.

Demographics Over a Bus Route: The Case of Route 1
Category: Detailed Look, MBTA
Aug 2, 2018 Aug 16, 2021
Route 1 bus at Nubian Square. Photo credit: Susana Hey, MBTA, 2018
The MBTA usually evaluates bus routes on the "route" level, with the entire route being considered as one unit. This makes sense for most of the MBTA bus routes, which function as "feeder" routes that take riders to a transfer connection at one end of the route. For these routes, it makes sense to consider the route as an entity, because ridership tends to be homogenous, with the same group of riders boarding the vehicle and traveling the length of the route.
However, there are several bus routes that, by design, are likely to have a lot of rider turnover. Long cross-town routes with multiple transfer/connection options tend to be especially likely to have different riders along the routes, with relatively few people riding the entire length of the route. In terms of design and function, these routes function more like separate services than as a coherent entity: for example, very few people travel the entire length of routes 1, 66, and 86.
We wanted to evaluate whether it makes sense to treat these routes as a single service, or if it would be more meaningful to evaluate them at a route segment level that would more closely resemble the service provided on our other bus routes.
We took route 1 as an example, as its ridership is high and it travels a long distance from Cambridge to Nubian Square. The boardings and alightings are distributed fairly well along the route (not, for instance, with most of the riders boarding at one end and alighting at the other). Additionally, the neighborhoods through which this route runs are very distinct in terms of population demographics, and there are multiple transfer points to rapid transit lines. This led us to hypothesize that there are certain zones/stops on the route where there could be a clear shift in the composition of riders as people board and alight at different stops.
We used the MBTA Rider Census data to create a "line profile" of the demographics along the bus route. To have a high-level overview of the data, all the stops on the route were categorized into 3 zones- north zone, transit core, and south zone. We thought we might be able to segment the route and establish different demographics for each "zone." Each of the zones had a sufficient sample from our Rider Census to effectively count as separately evaluable (if each of these segments were their own route, then we could compare them to each other and to other routes on our system).
We chose to look at minority status information because we had a high response rate for that question and it was easy to categorize riders as either "minority" or "nonminority" based on their response to the survey. Route 1's bus ridership overall is 37% minority.
We dug into the data by looking into the boarding/alighting behavior of riders in these zones. The graph below depicts the average daily load profile (from automated passenger counters) of the Route 1, heading southbound on a weekday. The 'load' of a bus is defined as the number of people who are on the bus at a given stop. The stops of interest are those where we see large peaks and dips in the number of riders. Note the three large "alighting" stops, indicating turnover of riders at those locations.
We then proceeded to recreate a similar load profile chart for our two demographic groups of interest. We arrived at the visual below that shows the behavior of minority and non-minority riders on route 1 (click to enlarge).
As noted above, the ridership of Route 1 as a whole is 37% minority (excluding respondents who did not report their minority status); if we examine the graph, we can see that there are some stops where there are sudden dips and peaks in the number of riders in each demographic group. We also see that there is a small population of riders who fall in the 'unknown' group. This refers to the portion of survey respondents who chose not to disclose their Minority/Non-Minority status.
At the bus stop at Mass Ave and Pearl St in Cambridge, we see a small peak in the percentage of Minority riders. At the stop at Mass Ave and Harrison Ave, we see a distinct increase in Minority riders with a simultaneous decline in Non-minority riders. This stop falls in the south zone, near the Lower Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. In the transit core, we see that the trend line remains almost constant for both categories. This could be because the stops in the transit core are all major bus stops, with plenty of connections to other buses and light rail (at the Symphony and Hynes stations). Riders would be typically making transfers here, either onto the route 1 or to some other service.
If we were to evaluate each of the segments separately, the North Segment would be similar to Route 57; the Transit Core Segment would be similar to the 39; and the South Segment would be similar to other routes that serve the area near Nubian Square (8, 15). Percent minority ridership is spatially distributed, so it is not surprising that the MBTA routes that cross multiple distinct neighborhoods and have many points of transfer or destination, percent minority ridership changes along with the path of the route. And in practice, all parts of Route 1 would likely still be classified as "minority" bus routes for Title VI purposes. However, this pattern provides further evidence that Route 1 functions as separate segments rather than as a single entity.
In terms of certain measures of service quality, riders may have different experiences on different segments of Route 1 (or any long route). For example, one section of a route may have frequent crowding as the route approaches a transfer point, while another segment would usually be less crowded. Since an individual rider is unlikely to travel across multiple segments, their experience is best reflected by the quality of service on the segment they do travel rather than on the route as a whole. Where there is sufficient rider turnover in the middle of a route and if data exists to make evaluation feasible, it may make sense to evaluate performance in segments.
Other routes that we expect to have distinct segments would be the CT1, CT2, and CT3, along with 39, 66, and 86.
The next steps to moving to this reporting structure would be to analyze all the routes to see which ones should be subject to the segmentation treatment; and to investigate whether the measures of interest, like crowding, can be adjusted to work on the segment level.

Seattle--Amazon is slowly, and quietly, changing the way its items' prices are listed on the site.
In a move that is sure to have a ripple effect in the e-commerce market, The New York Times reports that Amazon has, in many cases, removed the mention of list price, or the original price, on its items.
When the e-tailer first was getting its start and building up its consumer base, the buyer saw the list price noted, versus what they could buy it for on Amazon and how big the discount was.
Now, the e-commerce giant is moving away from list prices to noting only the cost to buy.
Amazon did not respond to request for comment by press time.
The move is notable not only because there have been several consumer complaints and lawsuits against large companies over how meaningless the list prices have become, but also because Amazon is undergoing a shift of its own.
Now, Amazon is trying to see which of its categories are so important to its shoppers that list prices and discounting no longer matter.
It reportedly started getting rid of list prices about two months ago both for its own products and third-party merchants.
Oftentimes, consumers' biggest issue with list prices is that they rarely are what the manufacturer or retailer actually charges for the item, making the discount seem bigger than it is.
Suits regarding discounts that aren't actually discounts have been filed recently against such companies as Macy's, Kohl's, J. Crew and Ann Taylor, and with more continuing to pop up as consumer discontent continues, it remains to be seen if other online retailers will follow Amazon in kind.

Significant Impacts Under NEPA: The Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases as a Tool to Mitigate Climate Change
Sydney Hofferth, University of Michigan Law School
The increased severity of the impacts of climate change demand a re-evaluation of the legal tools that could combat it. The National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") was passed to force government agencies to account for the environmental impacts of their actions. However, as it exists today, NEPA fails to require agencies to consider how their actions will mitigate or exacerbate climate change. This Note argues that agencies should be required to consider the social cost of the greenhouse gases associated with potential major actions at various stages of NEPA analysis. This change would result in increased transparency and public engagement in the NEPA review process, furthering the original goals of the Act and hopefully resulting in more environmentally-friendly government actions in the future.

A staple part of any kids life until the nineties, comic book annuals were as much a part of British culture as tea and scones. Every year Santa made sure I had at least three in my stocking. Schoolyard pranks were played out in comic form with overly exaggerated characters in such classics as Beano, Dandy, Topper and our subject matter Cor! and Buster. But with the world changing as it does, some of these beloved characters, suddenly seemed very dated and were forced to become shadows of their former selves. By the noughties, they became just another piece of British nostalgia. But all is not lost as Rebellion are looking to change all that, with the re-launch of a Cor! and Buster special and it was a delight to reacquaint myself with these characters again.
Mike Lacey's creation X Ray Specs? Yep he's here, and as if to hit the point home of how modern the book is, mentions Playstation in the first couple of frames, while his dad sings Baby Shark. Jaws parody Gumsis back with a slight makeover, but looking better than ever. The great thing about this relaunch is that the stories have been thought about, they are modern, but they are also just as funny as your remember. The infant nightmare Sweeney Toddler looks exactly the same and his antics still involve massive tantrums followed by pungent poos, all accentuated by the over the top artwork of Bash street Kids creator Leo Baxendale. There's a useful history lesson in the middle, which shows today's kids just where the characters came from and how they've evolved and of course the ever present puzzle page. Yes sir, when you bought a comic book, you got your money's worth. Once that's done its back to the chortle, chortle, snigger, snigger of Who's in Charge? a compilation piece of all your favourite characters from other books like Whizzer and Chips, Smash etc. New entries into the comic world include Hire A Horror, an agency that you can hire monsters from which come in particularly useful, when a man is tortured by, heavy metal band The Ramoaners incessant racket.

Gareth Grant raised £1,785 from 28 supporters
raised of £24,000 target by 28 supporters
Gareth Grant
We've raised £1,785 to Raise enough money to pay the NMC registration fee's of newly qualifying nurses and midwives in Harrogate and surrounding areas
Funded on Tuesday, 8th September 2020
The Florence Nightingale Project
To mark and commemorate the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth on 12th May 2020, we are delighted to launch a new appeal to raise money to cover the NMC registration fees of 200 newly qualified midwives and nurses.
Florence Nightingale, referred to as "The Lady with the Lamp" changed the perception of nurses during a time where wealthy women were expected to find a good husband and raise a family. Florence Nightingale led a team of nurses in a women's hospital and created a new respect for women and nurses.
We believe that during the current pandemic, the perception of our nurses has changed again. We have found a new respect for the NHS and are showing our appreciation by Clapping for the NHS on Thursday nights. We wanted to take this a step further and ease the burden of the registration fees for newly qualified nurses and midwives to show our appreciation.
Florence Nightingale educated America's first trained nurse, Linda Richards, and that is why we have focussed our fund raising to nurses and midwives who are still in education or due to complete their learning shortly".
The current cost for registration fees for a student midwife or nurse is £120 (The Nursing and Midwifery Council). Our initial aim is to support and fund 200 newly qualified nurses and midwives. In a time where their skills are so desperately needed, we want to support them as much as we can. So we are hoping to raise £24,000 to succeed in our campaign. Every penny counts.

This competition, match grade 5.56x45mm ammunition is sure to put you at the top of your game! These 50 rounds, manufactured by Black Hills, contain a 77 grain Sierra MatchKing open tip match bullet that flies through the air with the accuracy and precision you expect from professional grade ammunition. This civilian load is almost identical to the U.S. military's MK262 Mod 1 round, but with a minor difference in the primer and powder. Developed by Blackhills Ammunition, along with the US Army and US Navy, this round offers increased accuracy and lethality. The advertised muzzle velocity of this ammo is 2,750 feet per second, with a muzzle energy of 1,293 foot pounds of force. These rounds are Boxer-primed, brass cased, reloadable and non-corrosive.
Black Hills Ammunition was founded over 30 years ago. They supply match-grade 5.56 ammo for the U.S. Military's Service Rifle Teams, as well as other specialty ammunition for various military operations. They also provide Cowboy ammunition in more calibers than any other ammo company.
Order your supply of this match grade ammo and see what makes Black Hills' reputation so great!
Tight groups at 200 with no apparent difference in round to round performance. My black rifle is no tack shooter, but this ammo is as good as it gets.
Heavy bullet will deliver the terminal punch. My use is almost exclusively through a 16" 1:7 twist Colt barrel.
You might be spending a buck every time you pull the trigger, but this ammo takes all of the variables out of the equation. As long as you're feeding it to a good rifle with 1/7" (at least 1/8" twist) it'll group better than you can shoot. So you know it's you, not the rifle. I have a couple of friends that have been handloading for decades and MK262 is just as good, if not better, than their best handload. Oh, and it hits pretty hard by the way. Knocking over my steel plate at 200. Most open tips just go splat. Pricey, but great ammo!
Shot this yesterday from a 16" PSA Premium M4 and an 8.5" Pistol build. With the Primary Arms PAC-3X Prism Scope on the 16", I was easily ringing 8" and 12" steel plates from 200 to 500 yards. In the 8.5 pistol build, zeroed to 50 yards, it shot tight and accurate with my PA Micro Dot. Was even consistently able to ping the 200 yard steel plate with the 8.5" pistol. Great accuracy and consistent performance builds confidence in your weapon system and your ability to apply its capabilities. This ammo gives you all of this!
If you don't reload and you're looking for accurate AR ammo for a rifle match, definitely give this a try. I shot a bunch of different brands for group, including Hornady, Nosler, Federal, and the Mk262 is by far the best. At least out of my 20" 1/7" twist AR.
The best accuracy I can get out of my 10.5 inch AR-pistol. consistent groups less than 2"" at 100yds.
I have been shooting a redline Sierra 77grn MK (non-cannelured) load now for far more than a decade outta my CR6724 in "F" class (2001-3) and out to 1000 yards long before these MK262 Mod1 rounds were developed and these rounds from Black Hills are almost indistinguishable from my own (mine are more accurate simply because my brass has been through the chamber of my rifle and reloaded (meticulously) multiple times on the same Dillon over and over again). I bought these to use in my M4 rifles as they are exceptionally accurate, reliable and hot but safe. I have had no malfunction issues whatsoever with them, they have run 100% for me in several M4s, they are very accurate, BH is high quality and I would buy them again and probably will.
Consistent performance in a 16" 1/7 twist barrel AR-15. 2-inch or better groups at 100yds. This rifle has not shot groups this tight with any other ammo.
Q: What is the G1 ballistic coefficient of the Black Hills 77g OTM bullet?
Q: I have checked several ballistic calculators, all of which indicated this load should preform well in 1:8 twist barrels; however, I'd appreciate Lucky Gunner's opinion. Thanks,!
A: Hi Roy, A 1:8 twist barrel will do best with a grain weight between 62 and 77 grain. It can use weights as low as 40 grain or as high as 87 grain with a slight reduction in accuracy. It is not recommended to go lower or higher than this range as performance will suffer.
Q: What exactly is the difference between the military version vs the civilian version?
A: Hi Jeremy, The civilian version, such as this one, will typically have more polishing and finishing done to the rounds. The military version was made for military use and the military puts more emphasis on function over aesthetics.
We also have this 5.56x45mm - 77 Grain Sierra Open Tip Match - MK262 Mod 1 - Black Hills Ammo - 500 Rounds ammo in stock in a bigger quantity.

Brandon University winds down hosting of 'Everyone Eats'
The popular 'Everyone Eats' program is headed for a new home.
Originally launched at Brandon University's Harvest Hall, the program will continue to support food security in the community.
"With our very unique pay what you can format and the fact that we were starting from scratch we needed a facility that was willing to roll with us as we developed," said Ross Robinson, Executive Director of the John Howard Society of Brandon. "We found that at BU."
Everyone Eats' new home kitchen at Prairie Oasis is a better size to sustain it over the long term. Harvest Hall will return its main focus to campus food services, like residence meals, Covid-friendly boxed lunches and prepared takeaway food, as well as on city-wide catering services, and pantry staples like jams and preserves.
"Everyone Eats has been a great partnership, really unique and filling a genuine need in the community," said Nicholas Namespetra, Manager of Food Services at Brandon University. "We were honoured to help get this program up and running and will always be there to step up to support our community."
He said that providing three unique hot and nutritious meals at an affordable price point every week was a fun and engaging challenge, but he is especially proud of the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.
"The pandemic made everything tougher, but it was a particular blow to holiday dinners," he said. "Not only were families asked to avoid their traditional gatherings, but community suppers were also on hiatus."
At Christmas, Harvest Hall was able to create more than 1,500 turkey dinners, with all the trimmings, for delivery through Everyone Eats.
"Our dedicated clients are proof to us that the meals BU created were very much in line with the home-cooked product we were looking for," Robinson said. "Week after week Everyone Eats consistently provided hot nutritious and tasty meals, which was the mission The John Howard Society of Brandon had at the start of COVID."
However, on a typical weekly basis, the massive BU kitchen was more than Everyone Eats needed.
"We always knew the partnership wouldn't be permanent. The time is right, and we're happy to see them move to a new home and run the program on their own," Namespetra said. "This move will help Everyone Eats continue to do the most important thing — support food security in our community."
Before Everyone Eats makes the official move at the end of the month, Namespetra promises four weeks of great meals for their final stint at BU.
"We're going to go out with a bang, and give them the best possible push for continued success!"

OP-ED | Northwestern Fails Mission Through Anti-Union Actions
by Audrey Honig Geragosian April 25, 2014, 10:00 am January 21, 2021, 5:52 pm
"I'm incredibly proud of our young men! GO CATS!" tweeted Northwestern University football coach Pat Fitzgerald on January 28, in the wake of his players' petition to the National Labor Relations Board to unionize. As a second-generation NU alum, I was proud, too. The students' actions embodied what a Northwestern education is supposed to be about: questioning the status quo, engaging debate, provoking new thought. Quaecumque sunt vera, as our motto reads, "Whatsoever things are true, think on these things."
For the past three months, robust discussion has followed about the exploitation of student-athletes at colleges and universities across the country. It moved well beyond sports pages and barrooms to lunch counters and soccer fields. Without the courage of Kain Colter and other players, this long-overdue conversation about the protection — or lack thereof — for young people recruited by academic institutions to play sports simply would not have happened.
And it scared former UConn Chancellor Mark Emmert, now head of the NCAA, witless. So much so that all UConn guard Shabazz Napier had to say was "hungry" during the Final Four and within a week, the governing body over college sports magically relaxed its rules about food restrictions for players. Emmert and his counterparts at the NCAA with their six- and seven-figure salaries have billions of reasons to be afraid. They are called football and basketball.
Let's be honest: the issue has never been about how Northwestern treats its football team or its 97 percent graduation rate. This case has been about making a mark; beginning to relieve the death-grip of the NCAA on money and college sports; showing the rest of the nation that a college athletes' union could work. It has been about eventually changing the dynamic where too often once-talented athletes are left without an education, a career track or a clean bill of health because of injury on the field of play for the institution they signed with. The public is generally unaware that most athletic scholarships are year-to-year agreements, leaving the student high and dry should sports-ending injury occur.
Against this backdrop, the greedy NCAA could not take the chance that a students' union might prevail and put the first meaningful chink in its edifice. Thus, my university administration caved, turning a teachable moment into a scene that's already played out over the decades in factories, nursing homes and Wal-Marts across the nation. Management versus labor. Scare tactics versus the opportunity for change. Fear versus fairness. In an about-face, Fitzgerald, a personal hero for nearly 20 years, wrote his players that a vote for the union was a "betrayal." The 76 voting players have been fed a bitter diet of dire predictions and [near-threats] if they vote for the union.
The harsh irony is that these are the same adults who are supposed to be shaping tomorrow's leaders. The coaches and administrators from Fitzgerald all the way up to President Morty Schapiro blinked in the face of the NCAA. Maybe it would have been different if NU had a few Rose Bowl victories in the win column and some bargaining power with the NCAA. Instead, they became complicit in the all-out gridiron battle to intimidate the students out of the opportunity to change the future for other athletes at Somewhere State when the "Northwestern effect" eventually cascaded down to public universities.
I'd like to know where in the NU budget I could find the line item for the high-priced lawyers doing this new dirty work. Or where the funds for the newly acquired iPads and parties for the football team materialized from. Should those funds instead have been earmarked for the student-athletes? Is it the money I paid for the season ticket I buy each year to support my team? As a private institution, NU won't have to tell.
Thursday afternoon the full NLRB agreed to hear Northwestern's appeal of the regional ruling that the students are de facto "employees." During that period, Friday's ballots won't be counted, so time will pass with history hanging in the balance. In the meantime, my alma mater has left me seething.
"Alma mater, praise be thine, may thy light forever shine . . ." proclaims our song. This could have been Northwestern's shining moment. Not today. Not by a long shot.

'She's not my type': Donald Trump's denial of latest sexual assault allegation
After another woman came forward to accuse Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her, the US President has issued a jaw-dropping denial.

Donald Trump's wildest conspiracy theories
We all know Donald Trump can say some seriously misleading information so here are three of his wildest theories.

Donald Trump has denied another allegation of sexual misconduct, saying he couldn't have assaulted prominent magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll because "she's not my type".
The US President's jaw-dropping denial comes as an explosive new book was released that claims his closest aides were worried about damaging allegations.
Ms Carroll alleges Mr Trump raped her in a department store change room in New York more than 20 years ago. She is one of 16 women to accuse him of misconduct.
Mr Trump has denied all claims, most of which were made after the infamous "grab them by the p***y" tape emerged during the presidential campaign in 2016, and called the women liars.
"I'll say it with great respect: Number one, she's not my type. Number two, it never happened. It never happened, OK?" Mr Trump told The Hill in an interview.

Ms Carroll responded in frustration on CNN, saying that her motives aren't political and she spoke up despite the risk of personal attacks.
"With all the women it's the same. He denies it, he turns it around, he attacks, and he threatens — and then everybody forgets it until the next woman comes along," she said.
"I am sick of it. I am sick of it."
President Trump released a statement on Friday when Ms Carroll's accusation emerged, denying any wrongdoing and urging anyone with information that showed she was working with Democrats to come forward.
"I can't believe that he's in the White House, and it makes me sick," she told CNN. "What else can I do but just tell my story?"

Former adviser to the US president, Steve Bannon, was a source for Michael Wolff's explosive new book. Picture: AFPSource:AFP
Focus on Mr Trump's alleged improper dealings with women has flared with the publication of Michael Wolff's new book Siege: Trump Under Fire, which has a chapter devoted to how the President's campaign and administration faced numerous claims.
In it, Steve Bannon — Mr Trump's campaign chief and a close adviser until their falling out — told Wolff there were "twenty-five women, locked and loaded".
During the campaign, Mr Bannon said the accusers were "compressed" by blanket denials and furious attacks and counterclaims. He believes it was successful.

"I ask everybody about the women but nobody remembers," he told Wolff.
"But I remember. I kept track of them all. They're in my dreams."
Mr Bannon said the explicit nature of some of the allegations could be damaging and predicted that a succession of claims might emerge.
"And you're going to hear (the claims) at 8.03 in the morning and she's going to start crying. And then two days later there is going to be the next girl … and the next girl. It will be siege warfare. This one today, then let it cook, then take out another and put it on."

At the top of the serious but admittedly brief list of things that Mr Bannon believed would end Mr Trump's presidency was if his wife left him.
It was unclear how the blanket denials would "hold up, especially with the base", Wolff writes, "but … the ultimate bad-news scenario was that new accusations would cause Melania to leave him".
The new book contains various claims about the state of Mr Trump's marriage, including the allegation that he and Melania have an arrangement to remain together.
Wolff claims the couple in fact lead separate lives, with Mrs Trump spending the bulk of her time at a home in Maryland or in New York.

Mr Trump and the White House denied various allegations made in Wolff's first book, Fire and Fury, and attacked his credibility and motives.
The President also distanced himself from Mr Bannon, who was a source in both books.
Porn star Stormy Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, claims she had sex with Mr Trump in a Lake Tahoe hotel room after meeting at a charity golf tournament in 2006.
She allegedly received $AU177,000 from Mr Trump's lawyer in exchange for her silence during the US election.
But she said she decided to go public to protect herself after facing pressure to release a statement denying she had sex with him.

Great stay! We stayed a week and one day. They have a weekly rate. Cable TV was good. Internet not so good. Most of this park is permanent residents. Some of the mobile homes are from the 1960's. But, everything was very neat and clean. The roads are a little bumpy. No problem with our 40 foot diesel pusher. Site was gravel. Picnic table, pull thru and extra parking. Very shady in some parts. The personnel working were great - friendly and helpful. There was a storm one night with a few limbs blown down. They had it all cleaned up early the next morning. Very convenient to Fort Worth. Our daughter lives in the TCU area, and we were only 20 minutes from her. Off of I 35 W South. We will definitely stay here again. We camped at Mockingbird Hill RV Park in a Motorhome.
Great RV park in GCNP. Only park with hook ups at the South Rim. No ATT cell phone service, no WiFi. Lots of people had trouble with the DirecTV. We had no problems with the TV. This park can be very crowded at peak times. Be prepared for noise. Ask for an end spot near the woods. The end spots also allow for extra parking. We were in a 40 foot MH, with a tow dolly. My son also joined us. With 2 cars, the end provided the extra parking we needed. We were traveling with dogs and it worked out great to be on the end with our own large grassy area. It was a beautiful park. Shuttle bus stops near the office. You can walk to the grocery store, if you are energetic! No complaints! We got snowed in for three days and they were nice about letting us stay two extra days. Large spots. The pull thru spots are great. Water good. Each spot has a grill and a picnic table. We camped at Trailer Village (Concessionnaire Operated) in a Motorhome.
Shopping at the nearby grocery store- they have everything you migh need, plus lots of souvenirs. They are pricey, but great if you forget anything. Highly suggest you take the shuttle busses where ever you want in the park. Driving can be a pain at peak times.
We stayed here 1 night on our way to the Grand Canyon in a 40 foot motor home. We were towing a car. The customer service was outstanding. They accommodated our every need. GPS directions not accurate. This is a beautiful park with lots of trees. Very quiet and peaceful. Great area for dogs. There is also access to the national forest from the park with miles of trails. There are no showers or bathrooms. There is WiFi and cable TV. WiFi worked fine. Didn't use the TV. 30 and 50 amp hookups, sewer and water. Cash or check only. We paid $32 for 1 night. We wanted to stay longer! We camped at Greer's Pine Shadows in a Motorhome.
New RV park! Very nice, large and wide spaced sites. The monthly rate is $200 plus electric. Each site has its own Direct TV dish. You only pay a $70 deposit for the receiver. You get that back . WI-FI is great. The couple who run the park live next to the park and are very helpful. Nice, quiet, clean park. Lots of room to walk the dogs. No restrooms yet, but they are building showers, laundry, and clubhouse facilities. I highly recommend this park. We stayed 2 months and will be back next year. We camped at Vinson RV Park & Boat Storage in a Motorhome.
Very nice park outside of Dallas off of Interstate 20. There are a lot of long term residents. The sites are gravel. This is the only reason I gave them a 9 instead of a 10. They have a fenced dog park with water provided for the dogs. Everyone was very friendly. Cable and WI-FI was great. No problems at all. We will stay here again. We camped at Bluebonnet Ridge RV Park in a Motorhome.
We stayed at the Sandpiper for 10 days including the Thanksgiving holiday. The rate reflects a Good Sam discount. When we arrived, there was a group of about 15 motorhomes from Canada. When they left, we had the place almost to ourselves for a few days. The park is the old Sandpiper Hotel that was destroyed in Hurricane Ike. There are still a few hotel rooms left. The pool and hot tub area are beautiful. They also had a fire pit going in the evening. The sites are concrete and the cable and internet were great. The park is directly behind the Stewart Beach recreation area, which could be a problem in the summer months as it can be very crowded and noisy. But at this time of the year, it was great. You can see the gulf from most of the spots in the park. Beware that there are two areas: one is at the top and next to Seawall Blvd which is very busy, the other is in a gated area one level down and closer to the beach. Ask for a site in the lower area. Limited areas inside the park to walk dogs and there are many sand burrs outside the park. If you go out the back gate, turn left and walk down about a block, there is an overflow parking lot for Stewart Beach that is kept mowed and free of burrs. We could let our dogs run there safely. It is a great park and we will be back. We camped at Sandpiper RV Resort in a Motorhome.
NOTE: Try to arrive in the daylight or at least during office hours. We had a very difficult time finding our spot after dark. My favorite thing about this park is the dog park. When I made my reservation, they asked about pets. Since I have 3 dogs they put us in a great pull-through spot near the dog park. The area for dogs was a large, shaded fenced in area with a bench. We were able to take our dogs and let they play as we sat in the shade and watched them. The park is very clean and shaded. The roads are narrow and hilly. We were in a 30 footer and didn't have too much trouble, but a larger rig might have problems. Overall, a great park that I would return to. We camped at Hot Springs National Park KOA in a Motorhome.
Good value for the money in SPI. As this is a popular tourist area, hotels are $100 plus a night. The park is in an excellent location on the Laguna Madre Bay. There are a few waterfront sites available. There is also a very good seafood restaurant next to the property. There is no shade, and this can be an issue in the summer. The dog walk area is very small. We walked the dogs along the bay from a parking lot next door. All in all, it is a nice park. I would return. We camped at South Padre Island KOA in a Motorhome.
