Our speciality roasted coffee is created for purpose, based on the style of brewing you are most familiar with, or use day to day. In this case, our roast is purposely crafted for filter brewing methods.
What's the big difference? Well, our filter roasts are typically roasted at lower temperatures for a shorter period of time producing an extremely clear picture of the roast's flavour profiles without being interrupted by the interfering “roast” flavour.
The end result is a far sweeter brew, most of the time not even requiring you to add sugar if you typically sweeten your coffee. The brew ends up being a clear, crisp and delightful way to really taste the flavour notes of each roast.
You can use our filter roasts in any filter brewing method including Chemex, V60, drip filter machines, french presses, etc. but we do not recommend them for espresso brewing, stove top brewing or aeropress brewing as they tend to produce a much more sour cup of coffee this way.
What is the real difference between roasts?
The process of roasting filter vs espresso roasts is completely different and results in a very different end product. Our espresso roasts are roasted for longer & at higher temperatures which produces a sweet and balanced extraction that filters out sourness.
Our filter roasts are roasted at lower temperatures, for a shorter period of time which results in a sweet & clearer extraction allowing you to taste the full flavour profile of the roast. Our filter roasts are not recommended for espresso extraction as they can result in a fairly bitter, sour cup of coffee.
Why doesnt my coffee taste right?
There are 5 main components involved in brewing the perfect cup of coffee:
Regardless if you are brewing Espresso or Filter methods, changing any of the above variables will result in a different tasting cup of coffee. Check out our blog for a full in depth guide to mastering your perfect brew.
Is your coffees Organic & Vegan?
You bet, all of our coffee is Australian Certified Organic (Code 483) and 100% fair trade. We pride ourselves on producing some of the finest organic roasts in the world and you can be confident and comfortable when drinking them knowing you are not contributing to poor labour conditions or plantations that use nasty chemicals to grow their beans. All of our Coffee roasts are also 100% Vegan.
Each of our specialty roasts are crafted by master roasters with over 40 years of experience. Each single origin or blend is masterfully created with the highest quality raw product, roasted to perfection then rested for 7 days for optimal flavour.
We import raw coffee beans from all over the world, Columbia, Papua New Guinea, India, Brazil and more. Each bag of coffee that we bring to our faciltiy is guaranteed to be fair trade and organically grown under our Australian Certified Organic code 483.

Norfolk Folklore Society, in partnership with Norwich History Festival and Reel Connections present WITCHFINDER GENERAL + Introduction & short archive film.
“He has the right to hang them in the sight of God…”
The Norfolk Folklore Society invites you to an unholy night of righteous terror, rural horror and East Anglian evil as they present Witchfinder General (1968) in collaboration with Reel Connections and Cinema City.
Shot on location in Norfolk and Suffolk, and based on real historical events, Witchfinder General tells the harrowing story of Matthew Hopkins, the self-appointed witch-hunter who blackmailed, tortured and executed his way across East Anglia during the English Civil War.
Starring a viciously restrained Vincent Price, this brutal, beautiful film is widely considered a masterpiece of British folk horror.
Hopkins wasn’t a fantasy - he was real. And the landscapes he haunts in the film are our own: ruined churches, wind-blown fields, lost villages. Here, horror rises not from demons or devils but from dreadful men in power.
Now considered one of the most important horror films of all time, this is folk horror at its most grounded and grim: no monsters, no magic—just cruelty, fear and the terrifying collapse of order.
Before the screening, Norfolk Folklore Society’s Stacia Briggs and Siofra Connor will introduce the film, exploring its historical roots, folkloric themes and impact on the genre, while Shuck Zine artist Matt Willis will be selling his eerie artwork in the gallery.
This event is presented in collaboration with Reel Connections, a not-for-profit organisation that uses film, music and the arts to connect people across Norfolk and the East of England.
Before and after the screening, the bar will be transformed into a folk horror haven, complete with a DJ set full of sinister strings, rustic rhythms, and witchy bangers.
Guests will also receive a free special-edition badge to commemorate this chilling night of East Anglian horror.

The Cadex CDX-50 Tremor is a precision rifle built to deliver the .50 BMG payload with extreme accuracy at extended ranges. The Tremor Rifle is surprisingly lightweight considering its size and chambering but still is able to mitigate felt recoil due to the muzzle brake and chassis design. The receiver is machined from 416 stainless steel, Cerakote finished, and it overbuilt for maximum durability. The bolt is also machined from 416 stainless and features 4 lugs, 2 Remington style ejectors, and a heavy duty extractor for unequivocal reliability. The triple lug recoil system ensures that all energy produced by the .50 BMG round is equally dispersed into the chassis system. The CDX-50 Tremor features Cadex’s DX2 Evo Trigger that is factory set to two stage operation but can be configured to single stage operation based on the preference of the shooter.
The CDX-50 Tremor .50 BMG Rifle chassis is ergonomic and customizable with features designed specifically for the long range shooter. The buttstock of the rifle allows for tool-less adjustments to be made to the length of pull, cheek piece height, and butt pad height. Additionally, the buttstock folds for compact storage and transport as well as bolt handle protection. The forend of the chassis is designed to help eliminate the effects of image distortion due to barrel heat. In addition to the full length top optics rail on the CDX-50 Tremor, the forend of the rifle features M-LOK attachment points at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions.
With all of these features and the sturdy construction of this chassis system it is easy to understand why these rifles are desired by so many in both military and civilian circles.

His Spiritual Journey
The life of Titus Brandsma shows a multitude of activities and a great deployment of his capacities. Already at a young age his inquiring spirit and a great urge to work are remarkable. He is intelligent, expansive and driven. However, he was also and above all a very observant monk. He remained as much as possible in his cell and did a lot of work for his religious order. At a rather Young age, in 1912, he is appointed to the council of definitors of the order of Carmel. This made him influential in his order.
The life of Titus also shows great silence and his limitations. Again and again his expansive nature was called to a halt. Already in the minor seminary he could not be as the other boys were. He had to rest more and get more nutrition. The active life of the Franciscans with their stations and parish work did not fit him. It showed him the way to the more contemplative life of the Order of Carmel.
In the Order of Carmel Titus found the silence of the cell. For the Carmelite the cell has to become an essential part of his life, it has to be “owned”. “Each one of you is to stay in his own cell or nearby, pondering the Lord’s law day and night and keeping watch at his prayer unless attending to some other duty” is written in the Rule of Carmel. In his cell the Carmelite learns that he does not make his life, but that he is a guest in the life given to him. It is a purification that aims to develop a greater capacity to receive God. The cell helps to open up to oneself, so inner movements can be distinguished and purified. The cell, too, keeps one occupied in order that the monk does not scatter but is directed more and more to the One. When Titus is 17 years old he writes to his parents:
“I am very happy in my cell or among the brothers, as is required from me […]. I believe that God has called me here. But pray well for me so that I may know if I am following his Holy Will for me. And if by chance, He has not called me, what I, however, don’t believe and hope, because it is a great fortune, may I then know what I have to do to please him. But as I said, I am happy now”.
Only at the end of his life he would share again about his happiness, in his prison writing Mijn Cel (My Cell). When he has described his prison cell in details, the now 60 years old prisoner writes on January, 1942:
“Beata Solitudo. I’m already completely at home in that little cell. I have not yet been bored, on the contrary. I’m alone there, yes, but never was our Lord so near. I can exult for joy that he made himself found again by me, without me going to people, or people coming to me. He is now my only refuge and I feel safe and happy. I want to be here always, if He so decrees. Seldom have I been so happy and content”.
In this cell Titus found his calling and destiny as a Carmelite. He had written three years before about his calling: “”In the calling to the Order of Carmel is included the calling to the mystical life as a gift of God, a pure gift of God, but as a gift that He wants to give to those called to Carmel, if they only open their heart to Him and make themselves receptive for this extraordinary divine blessing.
The cell with four walls is not just the only cell which has existed in the life of Titus Brandsma. Also in another way a person can be limited or be thrown back on his own resources in order that a greater receptivity is born. Many of those forms are brought in by life itself. This happened when the intelligent and inquisitive Titus was not allowed to study in Rome and was given a simple and administrative task. For a short while his scientific formation was brought to a standstill. Initially there was no perspective of change. Later on Titus called “it one of the many lessons he needed”. He did not talk much about it later but it must have been a painful experience. Titus” weak health forced him often in all of his life to a state of separation and passivity. It soon became clear that the hectic daily schedule in novitiate was too much for him. He was not allowed to join the night office prayers and he had to pray matins and lauds in his room. In the second year he spits blood, a very serious symptom in those days. It forces him to take a rest of six months. During his studies in Rome he is bedridden for months with ice in his mouth and artificial feeding. This alternation of activity and forced rest will often be repeated in Titus’ life. It put him in solitude and gave him time to reflect.

Eclipse Higgins, a free user-centric identity framework
The Eclipse Foundation released Eclipse Higgins 1.0, a freely downloadable identity framework designed to integrate identity, profile and social relationship information across multiple sites, applications and devices using an extensible set of components.
Web 2.0, mashups, social networking and the general rise of networked applications have made Web-based identity management complex for both the end-user and the developer. The Eclipse Higgins project, a coalition of organizations and individuals, has been working to address these issues.
Multiple identity protocols have been developed to address different needs, including WS-Trust, OpenID, SAML, XDI and LDAP. This requires software developers to support multiple protocols, resulting in unnecessary complexity in managing identities. Additionally, individuals are particular about which entities they share what personal information. For example, one might not prefer to share credit card information on a social networking site as readily as with a leading on-line retailer.
To address these challenges, Higgins provides a software framework that delivers three technologies:
First, it provides multi-platform “identity selector” applications that end-users can use to signin to web sites and systems that are compatible with the emerging user-centric “Information Card”-based (or “i-card”-based) approach to authentication. This approach promises people fewer passwords, more convenience, and better security. An Information Card is a new, graphical way to refer to a collection of identity information that you might wish to send to a website or program.
Second, it provides “identity provider” web services that can issue i-cards as well as the code necessary to enable web sites and applications to accept i-cards. Software developers can incorporate this code into their applications to make it easier for their users to login to their sites.
Third, it implements the Higgins Global Graph (HGG) data model and the Higgins Identity Attribute Service (IdAS). Developers now have a framework that provides an interoperability and portability abstraction layer over existing “silos” of identity data. For the first time, IdAS makes it possible to “mash-up” identity and social network data across highly heterogeneous data sources including directories, relational databases, and social networks. Technology built on this framework could allow users to login to their bank account with a secure authorization key, which would be automatically freshly generated for each visit. Users wouldn’t need to remember or write down passwords, which can also be long and complex enough to be secure. Additionally, this same interface also could allow users to sign into their favorite wiki or blog with just one click.
Higgins is not another identity protocol like OpenID, SAML, or WS-Trust; it is a framework that allows software developers to integrate and leverage multiple protocols within their applications. Specific identity protocols, like OpenID, which is very important for solving password management for things like blog, wikis, etc., are popular with specific users for specific use cases; however, the Project Higgins community believes there will continue to be multiple identity protocols used to support differing identity scenarios. Instead of requiring a developer to become proficient in all protocols, they can now use Higgins to gain support for them all.
With this initial 1.0 release of Higgins, many of the largest providers of identity management software recognize its potential. IBM, Microsoft and Novell are significant contributors to the project. Additionally, companies like Serena are already using Higgins in their commercial products. Companies such as Oracle support the goals of the project.

title: Define a swedish massage what is it

text:
In the Western world, Swedish massage is one of the most popular massage treatments. It’s what most people associate with a traditional massage—lying on a table and getting a hands-on, stress-relieving treatment.
Read More: 스웨디시
Swedish massage has been demonstrated in studies to aid with pain management, mood problems, blood pressure lowering, and the symptoms of general anxiety disorder (GAD).
Swedish Massage: What is it?
Most likely, a Swedish massage comes to mind when you consider a contemporary massage that you may have in the US. The origins of Swedish massage are attributed to Pehr Henrik, a Swedish physician, who developed the methods and ideas and shared them with others.
Swedish massage is mostly used to relieve mildly tense muscles and soothe the body and mind. In order to relax the muscular tissues and improve cardiac blood flow, the massage therapist uses a combination of hard and softer strokes on the body.
Though the two are distinct, deep tissue and Swedish massage are frequently contrasted. Light to hard pressure and lengthy, flowing strokes are used in Swedish massage. Firm, deep pressure is used in deep tissue massage, and the therapist frequently stays on one spot on the body for extended periods of time to release knots and stress.
The two methods’ objectives are also dissimilar: While deep tissue massage focuses more on alleviating deep muscular tension and discomfort, Swedish massage primarily focuses on relaxing.
Swedish Massage Methods
A Swedish massage treats the entire body. Five fundamental components are included in every massage, each using a unique method. Among these components are:
Effleurage: To relax the muscles and soft tissues, effleurage is the practice of giving the body gentle, medium, and vigorous strokes. This technique is typically used to calm and loosen up the body before the start of a massage.
Petrissage kneading: This method is also done with comfort in mind, but it uses a little bit more pressure than effleurage. Different body areas will be softly massaged, rolled, and squeezed by the massage therapist in a circular manner.
Tapotement: This technique taps the body in a rhythmic manner. It contributes to an increase in blood flow to the body’s tissues.
Friction: To try to warm the tissues, the therapist rubs and compresses the body with their hands, forearms, and even elbows.
Vibration: This method includes rhythmically shaking and vibrating the body in a regulated manner. It is employed as a stress reliever.
What to Anticipate
If you have never had a Swedish massage before, being prepared for the session will help you feel more at ease.
Prior to the Massage
Your massage therapist will probably ask you a few simple questions about your health and well-being before the session. They could inquire about your daily activities, current medicines, health issues, and food habits. They will also inquire as to what kind of massage you would like and which parts of your body are stressed.
You may also use this occasion to find out more about the massage therapist’s background. When giving someone a massage, you should find out what kind of training and experience they have, as well as their objectives.
To ensure that your massage will be both safe and effective, it’s crucial to work with a qualified or accredited massage therapist. The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork certifies massage therapists who have successfully completed exams and background checks.
On the Day of Your Massage
You may be requested to undress before your massage starts. For this, your massage therapist will vacate the room. You should only undress as much as is comfortable for you.
After taking off your clothes, you will lie on a massage table with a sheet or towel covering your entire body. Every time they work on a certain area of your body, the massage therapist will take this covering off in part and replace it.
During the massage, the massage therapist could decide to use lotions or oils. Before they start, let them know if you have any allergies.
While receiving massage
To create a soothing atmosphere during a Swedish massage, the therapist may turn down the lights and play soothing music or background noise. You can ask to have no music or conversation throughout the massage if you would rather have a more peaceful experience.
Along with applying gentle and deeper pressure, the massage therapist will proceed over each area of your body using techniques including rolling, friction, tapping, kneading, and vibration.
If something seems unpleasant or the pressure is too intense, you should always let your massage therapist know. You have the option to ask for a different massage, a different pressure point, or a different method.
While there are no set lengths for Swedish massages, they often run anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes.
Advantages of Swedish Therapy
Massage has several well-established advantages, such as reducing pain and promoting relaxation. There is evidence from recent studies that Swedish massage has certain advantages.
Mitigating General Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Symptoms
The symptoms of general anxiety disorder (GAD), a mental illness that affects 5.8% of the population, include difficulties concentrating and persistent concern. Regular Swedish massages have been demonstrated in studies to help reduce depression and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
According to one research, after getting a Swedish massage twice a week for six weeks, individuals with GAD experienced noticeably fewer symptoms. Additionally, there were notable reductions in the subjects’ overall distress and despair.
A different research focused on female patients receiving radiation treatment for breast cancer. For five weeks, one group had Swedish massages three times a week, while the other group got standard treatment. Compared to the group that did not receive Swedish massages, the groups who had Swedish massages experienced larger improvements in mood disorders such anxiety, rage, and sadness.
Decreases heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate
Additionally, studies have demonstrated that Swedish massage can lessen some of the physiological indicators of worry, such as elevated blood pressure, accelerated heart rate, and rapid breathing.
In one study, the effects of Swedish massage on anxiety-related vital signs in healthy women were examined. Swedish massage, according to the researchers, can reduce pulse, respiration rate, and systolic blood pressure (but not diastolic blood pressure).
There is strong evidence that massage, in general, can aid with pain alleviation, and Swedish massage in particular. By improving blood flow to the muscles and reducing metabolic waste from the body’s muscles, Swedish massage is believed to lessen discomfort.
Swedish massage has been demonstrated in studies to help rheumatoid arthritis sufferers feel less pain.3. It has also been discovered to lessen nurses’ lower back discomfort.8 Additional studies have demonstrated that Swedish massage, when given during labor and delivery, can lessen the discomfort associated with childbirth.

The share price of Thai Oil Public Company Limited (SET: TOP) climbed to THB54.75 per share with a 3.79% gain in an early session on Thursday after the company reported an outstanding performance in 2021, booking a net profit of THB 12,578 million from a disappointing net loss of THB 3,301 million in 2020.
TOP had sales revenue of Baht 335,827 million, higher by Baht 92,987 million mainly due to higher product prices, while having a slightly lower integrated intake. Furthermore, spreads of gasoline over Dubai, lube base oil over fuel oil and BZ over ULG95, including LAB gross margin improved sharply during the period. Thus, GIM excluding stock gain / (loss) rose by 3.1 US$/bbl, totaling to 5.5 US$/bbl in 2021. Besides, stock gain of Baht 15,063 million was recognized during the period following a hike in crude oil price whereas stock loss of Baht 7,399 million was booked in 2020.
KTBST Securities (KTBST) revised TOP’s net profit forecast in 2022 by 27% to THB13.4 billion, reflecting 1) faster-than-expected recovery of marketing GRM, 2) higher stock gain from rising Dubai crude price and 3) lower financial cost. The share price outperformed SET Index by 5% in the past six months, in line with the recovering crack spread. The closing price on Tuesday reflected an attractive valuation of PBV2022 at 0.83x (-1.25SD of historic 5-year).
KTBST expected TOP to benefit from rising crack spreads in 1H22, but might face a stock loss in 2H22, following a decline in crude oil to meet higher demand. The securities company believed that the recent movement in share prices had priced in concerns on capital increase.

title: Nau community gathers together following the fatal shooting

text:
The Northern Arizona University community is standing in solidarity with the victims and their families that have had to cope with the aftermath of the shootings that transpired on October 9th.
Collin Brough was killed by the shooter and three others were wounded. The shooting took place slightly before 1:20 a.m. on Oct. 9 and all four victims were fraternity brothers in NAU’s Delta Chi Fraternity.
Brough’s funeral was held in Annapolis, Maryland this past Friday.
Brough attended high school in Annapolis, then moved on to NAU where he was an honors student studying international business.
“The victims of this morning’s shooting were pursuing dreams,” said Shayna Stevens, the executive director for the Arizona Students Association in a statement immediately addressing the shooting. “They had dedicated their current lives to receiving an education. For one student that dream is now over. For three others, the future is still uncertain. I can’t begin to understand the grief and sorrow their families and friends are going through right now.”
In addition, many of Arizona’s elected officials released statements offering their condolences.
“I can say without a doubt that Flagstaff will only grow stronger in difficult moments like these,” said U.S. Representative Ann Kirkpatrick. “Today, my thoughts are with the victims and their families and our entire community.”
Arizona Senator Jeff Flake also offered a statement to the victims of the shooting.
“My heart goes out to those who have been affected by this incident,” Flake said. “Cheryl and I send our prayers to the victims, their loved ones, the entire NAU family, and the community of Flagstaff.”
NAU and the Flagstaff community have been able to unite around this tragedy and offer their prayers and support to the victims and their families.
Last Tuesday afternoon a march consisting of students, faculty and administrators joined with residents of the community to remember Brough and the other victims.
According to the Arizona Daily Sun nearly 2,000 students and members of the community participated in the march that was led by NAU President Rita Cheng and Flagstaff Mayor Jerry Nabours.
“The tragic events of last Friday have left us all in a state of shock,” said NAU President Rita Cheng. “Our hearts go out to the students involved and their families, their lives will never be the same and for that I’m deeply saddened.”
Cheng also reflected on the idea that community must stay united in order to move past the tragedy.
“I know in my heart that the bonds that hold us together will be strengthened by learning from, and caring for each other in the days and weeks ahead,” Cheng said.
This past Tuesday the suspect in the NAU shooting, Steven Edward Jones, was charged with second-degree murder for the deadly shooting that occurred on the morning.
Initially charged with first degree murder, the murder charge was reduced to the second degree after complaints regarding the lack of premeditation shown by the suspect.
If convicted of second-degree murder, Steven Jones could face up to 25 years in prison.

Removing Impossible Stains Is No longer A Hard Chore
We know carpets have their own, established purpose in a home; they are destined to make the floor more comfortable and soft when you step on one and to keep warm to your feet, even if you’re walking without socks on. In a building though, the carpet’s purpose is more decorative than practical, and people may walk on it with their dirty or dusted shoes and shorten the life of a rug or carpet really fast.
The Problem with Fabric
The problem with fabric is that it deteriorates rapidly, especially if it’s put in a very busy area where everyone has to walk on it in order to get to a specific part of the house or building. In a home, a carpet will be often used for sitting and playing on the ground, especially kids and animals love to crawl and that will make it more prone to stains of all sorts or to wear off faster because of all the friction and rubbing on it.
Professionals can, immediately repair all that damage by cleaning carpets and all other fabrics with high quality cleaning products and equipment and for some very affordable prices you could stain and damage proof your house. The oh-so-used sofa, may it be leather or fabric, in your living room could look like brand new again after a good, deep cleaning.
It could be a great deal to know you’ll not have to worry about working day and night in getting all those stains out for when you have company next time. Done at least once per year, this method will help you keep your goods for a longer time.
Office buildings, which use carpets on the floors, can also benefit from professional cleaning services, especially because there’s a lot of daily traffic and rugs or carpets get dirty very quickly. Using solutions like Scotchgard, which once applied it acts like a protective coat against stains, mold or dirt, it can also extend the life of all carpets. Cleaning in an office building is required more often and it is a good idea to build a trustworthy relationship with a good carpet cleaning company for future collaboration.
Services are usually easy to understand and whenever there’s need for additional information, kind service customers’ representatives will be at your disposal and answer all your questions or give you all the info you need. Politeness, professionalism and great services are the key to success and respectable companies know that and they practice it all the time.


title: Howard hawkes directed many great films

text:
Howard Hawkes directed many great films; unfortunately, Rio Lobo is not one of them. This 1970 movie, starring John Wayne and Jorge Rivera, also includes Robert Donner (Preacher in Never Trust an Honest Man, Nate in The Bounty Hunter, and Charlie Taylor in The Day the Amnesty Came Through), who can be recognized by his voice, though not the white hair of his character, and Jack Elam (Boot Coby in Bad Night in Big Butte) in small roles, as well as Boyd “Red” Morgan (Augie Helms in The Fifth Victim) in an uncredited role as a train engineer. There are three female co-stars and since they all look alike, it is hard to tell them apart.
Rio Lobo opens with scenes of gold being loaded onto a train by Union soldiers during the Civil War. It is intercepted by Confederate soldiers in a daring and well-planned train robbery, which is the best part of the movie. Wayne, playing a Union colonel, vows to recover the gold and leads a troop of soldiers in search of it. However, he is captured by the rebels though ultimately he escapes and the rebels are the ones who are subsequently captured and spend the rest of the war in a prisoner of war camp.
When the war ends, the colonel seeks out the Confederate captain, played by Rivera, and his sidekick because he wants to know who gave the rebels information about the gold. The rest of Rio Lobo deals with how the three of them find the man who betrayed the Union and what they do with him and his supporters, as they have taken over a town and run it like their personal fiefdom.
The women’s dialog is very 1970s and it is jarring to hear them speak that way. In my opinion, Jennifer O’Neill, who plays one of the roles, overacts most of her scenes. But in one of them, she faints and when she revives, she finds that she’s been undressed and is in a hotel bed. When she asks who took her clothes off, Rivera’s character says they—meaning him and Wayne’s character--flipped a coin and he won, which reminded me of the scene in The Clementine Ingredient where Heyes and Kid flip a coin over who is going to pretend to marry Clementine.
The music soundtrack in Rio Lobo sounds very 1970s--very modern—and out of place. In many scenes where there is fighting, that also looks fake—the punches that are thrown are obviously not real. In the second half of the movie, the action takes place in a sheriff’s office and is very reminiscent of Rio Bravo, which in my opinion was a far better movie. During the climax, a couple rifles and pistols are submerged in water but, miraculously, can still shoot with no difficulty.
Perhaps one reason I had a hard time sitting through this one hour and fifty-four minute film was because it ostensibly took place in Texas yet was filmed at Old Tucson Studios (and in Mexico) and I recognized the scenery and some of the sets from having twice visited there, adding to the sense of unreality of Rio Lobo.

Remove the access panel along the passenger-side console by gently pulling it away from the retention tabs, starting at the left corner. Repeat for the forward-most panel to access the battery.
Step 2 - Disconnect the Battery and Route the Harness
Use a 10mm socket to disconnect the positive lead from the battery and secure it away from the terminal. Peel back the rubber cover on the bus bar and loosen the positive and negative connections using a 10mm ratchet. Add the positive and negative leads from the CrossLink harness to the bus bar.
Route the switch leads to the desired location, avoiding moving parts or the drive shaft. Connect your own switch or use the provided toggle switch. Confirm functionality before final placement.
Step 3 - Route the Harness to the Roof
Using a T30 Torx bit, remove one bolt on the outer cowl. Pull the cowl away and run the DT connector up and through to the roof.
On the passenger side of the roof, remove the two quick-release pins by turning them counterclockwise. Lift the roof slightly and continue running the harness along the roll bar to the front corner. Pull through approximately 5 inches of wire and secure the roof back in place with the quick-release pins by turning them clockwise while pressing down.
Step 4 - Mount the Roof Brackets
Position the mounting bracket on the passenger side of the roof and secure it using the included bolts and washers. On the inside of the roof, secure the bracket with the provided washers and locking nuts. Tighten everything using a 10mm socket and wrench. Repeat the same steps for the driver’s side.
Step 5 - Assemble the CrossLink Light Bar
Align the SS5 light bar to the first notch on the CrossLink hardware. For detailed assembly and adjustment steps, refer to this video.
Once assembled, use a 10mm socket to secure both support link mounts to the underside of the CrossLink hardware after the third pod on both sides.
Step 6 - Mount the CrossLink Light Bar
With the help of a friend, lift the CrossLink light bar into place. Line up the top two mounting points with the through-holes of the brackets. Secure them with the included 10mm bolts on both sides. Center the top bolt and tighten it securely, then tighten the lower bolt.
While your friend gently pushes out on the CrossLink assembly, adjust the support link mounts to press against the roof. Tighten the mounts using a 13mm wrench and 13mm socket. Repeat this process for the other support link mount.
Step 7 - Connect and Test the Harness
Begin plugging the CrossLink harness into each pod, ensuring the male end of the harness is on the passenger side. Plug the DT connector from the roof harness into the CrossLink harness.
Reconnect the positive battery lead and test the functionality of the light bar. The main beams and selectable backlights should operate as intended.
Step 8 - Secure Wiring and Final Adjustments
Secure any loose wiring using zip ties and ensure all connections are routed away from hot or moving parts. Reinstall the panels, seat, and seatbelt harness by reversing the disassembly steps.
To adjust the light bar’s aim, loosen the 10mm bolts holding it in place and tilt it up or down to the desired position. Tighten the bolts to secure the aim.

title: Bash scripting basics

text:
Bash scripting is a powerful tool for automating tasks, streamlining workflows, and managing Linux systems efficiently. Whether you're a system administrator, developer, or just working in a Linux environment, learning the basics of Bash scripting can greatly enhance your productivity and allow you to perform complex operations with ease. This guide introduces the fundamentals of Bash scripting, providing the building blocks you need to create your own scripts.
Bash (Bourne Again SHell) is a command-line interpreter and scripting language widely used on Linux systems. It allows users to interact with the operating system, execute commands, and write scripts to automate tasks. Bash scripts are text files containing a series of commands that are executed sequentially by the Bash shell.
Every Bash script begins with a shebang (#!
) followed by the path to the Bash interpreter. This line tells the system which interpreter to use to execute the script.
This should be the first line in your script file.
After the shebang, you can start adding commands. Each command is written on a new line and is executed in order.
Save the script with a .sh
extension, for example, hello_world.sh
To run the script:
Make it executable:
Execute the script:
You should see the output Hello, World!
printed to your terminal.
Variables in Bash allow you to store and manipulate data. You can assign values to variables and reference them later in your script.
- No Spaces: Ensure there are no spaces around the
when assigning a value to a variable. - Referencing Variables: Use the
symbol before the variable name to reference its value.
Variables can hold strings, numbers, or the output of commands.
You can also perform arithmetic operations using variables:
Conditional statements allow you to make decisions in your script based on certain conditions.
statement checks a condition and executes commands if the condition is true.
- Comparison Operators:
: Equal to-ne
: Not equal to-gt
: Greater than-lt
: Less than-ge
: Greater than or equal to-le
: Less than or equal to
You can chain multiple conditions using elif
and provide a fallback using else
Loops allow you to repeat a set of commands multiple times, which is useful for automating repetitive tasks.
loop iterates over a list of items, executing commands for each item.
You can also use a range of numbers:
loop continues to execute as long as the specified condition is true.
loop is similar to a while
loop, but it runs until the condition becomes true.
Functions in Bash allow you to group commands into reusable blocks, making your scripts more modular and easier to maintain.
, etc., represent positional parameters passed to the function. - Calling Functions: Simply use the function name followed by any arguments.
Functions can return values using the return
command or by echoing a value that can be captured.
Bash scripts can accept arguments from the command line, allowing you to pass data to your script.
: The script name.$1
, etc.: Positional parameters representing the arguments.$#
: The number of arguments passed.$@
: All arguments as separate words.

- Diseases：Ewing's sarcoma
- Treatment programs：interventional therapy + radical surgery
Shocked, simple shoulder pain turned out to be a malignant tumor
In July 2022, Hatten noticed an unexplained pain in his left shoulder blade and was unconcerned because he had never considered the fact that he could have a tumor. However, it was just the beginning. Later, he started experiencing frequent illness, accompanied by a persistent fever. He also felt pain in his left scapula after every physical activity and noticed a lump growing on it. In June, Hatten underwent a CT scan and biopsy at the local hospital with his family, and the results revealed that he had Ewing's sarcoma. The tumor size was 3cm, and the news came as a shock to both Hatten and his family. At such a young age, he couldn't believe he was suffering from a tumor.
"Haten is still very young, we must find the best treatment for him and cure him." This was the first thought of the parents, and they also acted quickly, sending out Haten's pathology report through various channels, they consulted experts in Turkey and Korea, and finally chose St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou.
Hatten said, "Modern Cancer Hospital's staff was extremely helpful, professional, and trustworthy when we first contacted them. They answered all of our questions and provided excellent service”.
Inner peace, treatment abroad is effective
In July 2023, Haten came to St. Stamford Guangzhou Modern Cancer Hospital.
Hatten said, "The first time I came to China, I was still worried about the climate, food, and language here, but the medical staff here is very careful and attentive, and there are interpreters and housekeepers, so any problems can be solved in time. What makes me and my family feel more at ease is that the doctors gave a treatment plan quickly after coming here."
Dr. Hu, Haten's attending doctor, said: Ewing's sarcoma, a kind of bone tumor that mostly occurs in children and adolescents, mainly occurs in the pelvis, femur, tibia, humerus, and ribs, and also often appears in the soft tissues adjacent to the bones, is a kind of tumor with a high degree of malignancy, and develops in a fast process. Haten's results also proved this point: Haten's tumor was growing rapidly, from the original 3cm to 5cm, but fortunately, there was no distant metastasis. According to Haten's condition and willingness, the hospital formulated the treatment plan of "minimally invasive interventional therapy + radical surgery".
Minimally invasive interventional therapy involves puncturing under the guidance of medical imaging equipment, inserting special catheters and other precision instruments into the vascular channel of the lesion through the arteries, embolizing and blocking the blood vessels with special substances, organically combining anticancer drugs and embolizing agents, and then injecting them into the target arteries together, which will not only block the blood supply, but at the same time the drugs will stay in the tumor area, starving and poisoning the tumor to death. Compared to traditional chemotherapy, interventional therapy is less toxic and less harmful to the body.
Haten said, "I experienced no discomfort during the medical procedure, as the doctor explained the treatment beforehand. I did not feel stressed, and there were no major side effects after the procedure. Although I felt occasional pain during the first intervention, subsequent treatments were much more comfortable. I also noticed a significant reduction in the tumor size, which made me very happy."
After four interventional treatments, the tumor had shrunk to 2cm, which was more than half its original size.
On October 28th, Haten had surgery to remove Ewing's sarcoma from the left scapula and cervical lymph nodes. Postoperative pathology showed: tissue in the scapular region, no tumor residue in the cervical lymph, and tumor efficacy assessment: complete remission
If you don't give up, there's hope
Dr. Hu, who is Haten's attending physician, stated that "Haten is a brave child who has remained emotionally stable throughout his treatment. We are all overjoyed by his initial success, and we are committed to supporting him in his fight against cancer. There are endless possibilities for his future, and we wish him all the best."
Haten would like to share some words of encouragement with fellow patients in the same situation as him. "Please trust the doctors in handling and treating the condition. Our role is to adjust our mindset and not be frustrated or give up. We should believe that the condition will be treated, maintain a positive mindset, and reject any negative thoughts regarding the tumor. We should remain optimistic and hope that good luck will come in the end."


title: Mtd for income tax pilot now live

text:
HMRC's pilot scheme for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD for ITSA) is now live.
Accountants, agents and individuals are able to sign up to the pilot and test the programme out. The pilot aims to assess the MTD for ITSA reporting environment, with an initial focus on those who are self-employed and landlords with annual income exceeding £50,000. Signing up to MTD for ITSA will become mandatory for individuals with income in excess of this threshold from 6 April 2026.
Those signing up to the pilot will be required to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates on their income and expenditure to HMRC via MTD-compatible software so that HMRC may test and develop the system.
However, after HMRC revised its list of software products that support MTD for ITSA only five are available for the private beta testing of MTD for ITSA.
- 1 2 3 Sheets Ltd
- Intuit QuickBooks Online
- Sage Accounting
- SE reports
- self assessment direct.
Chosen software must be able to create and store digital records of business income and expenses, send quarterly updates, receive information from HMRC and make your final declaration by 31 January as part of the submission of tax returns.
HMRC recommends checking with the software providers when choosing software to ensure it suits businesses' needs.
Caroline Miskin, Senior Technical Manager at the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), said:
'Choosing the right software is a critical decision. Software products do need to comply with HMRC's minimum functional standards but these are quite minimal. This means there will be very significant differences between products.
'Cost is obviously a major consideration. The list includes some free products, but it is important to check the terms and conditions as well as what functionality is offered. It is disappointing that a wider range of software is not yet available.'

In the spring of 1978, I graduated from eighth grade. My mom hauled me to Murly’s Men’s Wear in Boscobel, and she picked out a leisure suit. I am sure that the young ladies in my class were stunned and breathless when they saw me walk up the aisle in the old Ithaca gym. I quickly outgrew this suit by the next year, and the pants would have been great in a high-water situation. My dear mother suggested until the day I got married that I should be wearing that suit to funerals, proms, weddings, snowball dances, homecomings, and church on Sunday. “I spent a lot of money on that suit, and you never wear it” she would say. Somehow, she did not remember that she bought that for me during the late days of my 8th grade year in school (the best 4 years of my life).
This Saturday night on WRCO’s Those Were the Days, I will dig some of those records from the spring of 1978. It will be a great playlist with such favorites as Dust in the Wind-Kansas, Love is Like Oxygen-Sweet, Sweet Talkin Woman-ELO, Roll with the Changes-REO Speedwagon, Runnin with the Devil-Van Halen, and Stayin Alive-Bee Gees. That era was prime time for my mix tapes. Music relieved some of the future freshman anxiety for me that summer.
I hope you will be able to tune in and hear the memories this Saturday night between six and midnight. Make some new memories, request a song for your mom, win trivia, and have some fun with your radio during Those Were the Days. It is very rewarding to hear from young people that tune in. That might mean that the best music ever cut on vinyl will live on for more generations.

title: Question of the week 3

text:
Since finishing that Robert Moses book last week, it’s been kinda tough for me to start another book. It’s as if I’m caught in its wake. I spent the last few days catching up on some long-form comics, like Eddie Campbell’s The Fate of the Artist, which I’m afraid left me flat. Compared to his most recent collection, After the Snooter, it was a distinct let-down.
Yesterday, unable to settle on a new book to read, I decided to go back and reread one of my favorites, Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia. (If you’re interested, there’s a neat piece in the Guardian about Stoppard’s new play, Rock ‘n’ Roll. It sounds pretty neat to me.)
What brought me back to Arcadia was the weird realization that, if you asked me what my favorite novel is, I would have no answer for you. Arcadia was a fave of mine upon a time, and it still resonates for me. In fact, if I had been immensely talented, it’s probably the piece I would have tried to write, given my interest in its subjects (chaos mathematics, the mistakes of history, English letters).
I can tell you what my favorite movie, my favorite comic, and my favorite record are (Miller’s Crossing, Little Italy and Stop Making Sense), but I’d have a devil of a time deciding on a favorite novel.
It’s not for lack of trying (here’s that list of all the books I’ve finished since 1989, when I started college). But there’ve been so many phases, and so many directions I’ve taken, that it’s really difficult for me to settle on a single novel. When I think of what I might have answered in years past (Gravity’s Rainbow, Tropic of Cancer, The Recognitions, Pale Fire, Invisible Cities, Going Native, Anna, Portnoy, Gatsby, Lolita, “Marcel”) I wonder what each answer tells me, and what changed that struck them from the top rank. (Fortunately, the “novel” requirement knocks out the Athenians, Homer, and Shakespeare, and that Arcadia. And if I have to pick a non-fiction book, it’d either be Ron Rosenbaum’s essays or that book on Robert Moses.)
For a moment, I tried to convince myself that it was somehow a universal problem afflicting our age, but I’m pretty sure it’s just me. Maybe I’ve oversatured myself with these books. Maybe I’ve simply become too fluid, or disconnected from the influences I thought I had. Maybe I need to — or already have — circumscribed my life in ways that keep some books from mattering so much to me.
You, meanwhile, need to tell me what your favorite novel is, and what it means to you.


title: Fleta accredits us customs and border protection air and marine basic training

text:
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board ispleased to announce it granted accreditation status to the U.S. Customsand Border Protection (CBP) Air and Marine Basic Training Program(AMB), and reaccreditation status to the CBP Field Operations Academy(FOA), at the July 14, 2011 meeting in Ponte Vedra Beach,Florida.
CBP’s Office of Air and Marine (OAM), the world’s largest aviationand maritime law enforcement organization, protects the American peopleand the Nation’s critical infrastructure through the coordinated use ofintegrated air and marine forces to detect, interdict, and prevent actsof terrorism and the unlawful movement of people, illegal drugs, and other contraband toward or across the borders of the United States.
Kevin Strong, Director of the CBP FOA, accepted the certificate ofaccreditation of the AMB, thanking the Board. Ron Reichel, DeputyDirector of Training, Safety, and Standards for the Office of Air andMarine, thanked the Board, the Field Operations Academy, and ChiefStrong. Mr. Reichel said that the accreditation “is a great feather inour cap on the road to future success”.
The CBP Field Operations Academy encompasses training elements fromthe previous U.S. Customs Academy, the Immigration Officer Academy, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Professional Development Center.Basic and Advanced training are provided by the FOA with the tradeprograms delivered primarily at the Charleston site and theagricultural programs at the Frederick, Maryland site.
Kevin Strong, Director of the CBP Field Operations Academy, acceptedthe certificate of reaccreditation of the FOA, thanking the Board andnoting “Reaccreditation is a journey in itself”. He also thanked theBoard for validating the FOA’s business practices as having met theFLETA standards.
To achieve accreditation, an agency must undergo a voluntarythorough assessment of their academy and/or program to ensurecompliance with the FLETA standards. These professional standardswere developed to increase agency effectiveness and efficiency. The standards address Program Administration, Training Staff, TrainingDevelopment, and Training Delivery, with an additional 20 standardsspecifically for Academies. Once an academy or program isaccredited, they must undergo reaccreditation every three years usingthe current standards and process. Reaccreditation takes a freshlook at all information to determine if the evidence supports theagency’s continued compliance with FLETA Standards. To maintainaccredited status, agencies are required to submit annual reports tothe FLETA Board.
The FLETA Board is nationally recognized by federal law enforcementagencies, as well as stakeholders in law enforcement training. Itis the Board’s goal to improve the federal law enforcement communitywith each accreditation, and the Board has now awarded 51 programaccreditations and 14 academy accreditations.

title: Why we love borosilicate glass and you should too

text:
Borosilicate glass has been a preferred material of construction for virtually all modern laboratory glassware and glass process equipment for decades, with wide usage throughout the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Its special properties of chemical and thermal resistances make it truly an exceptional glass with unique characteristics that distinguish it from other materials of construction. But how is it possible to feel warm and fuzzy about glass? Okay, maybe “love” is a bit too strong of a term to use, but we really, really like it and think you’ll find it pretty useful too.
But before we get ahead of ourselves let’s take a step back for a moment and enroll in a speed course about Borosilicate Glass 101 (or technical speaking Borosilicate Glass 3.3). What is borosilicate glass and what makes it different from other types of glass? Common glass, such as window panes and every day kitchen drinking glasses, is typically a silicate glass that consists of sand, sodium-carbonate and limestone. The addition of boric oxide with silica is what differentiates borosilicate glass. The following chart details the chemical composition of QVF borosilicate glass 3.3:
The purpose of adding boric oxide is to create a less dense product with a higher melting point. The high temperature allowance and superior durability makes borosilicate glass useful for a variety of applications beyond process plants and pipeline including cookware, microscope and telescope lenses, stage lights, guitar slides, and art construction.
When it comes to chemical laboratory equipment and process plant components, the 8 major benefits that will have you loving borosilicate glass are:
1. Optical Clarity
It’s clear to see why glass is a good solution when it comes to visibility (how could I resist this pun). Compared to the array of plastics, metals and other materials of construction, glass provides a smooth surface that offers an unobstructed view of what is going on inside the equipment, enhancing the level of observation in any process. There is a slight decrease in transparency with the addition of Sectrans coating, an optional covering to the glass surface added for its protective properties against scratches, blows and splintering.
Some materials of construction can pose housekeeping issues when it comes to ease of cleaning. Not glass! The anti-stick, nonporous surface makes borosilicate glass a popular choice for GMP compliant applications. And its transparency allows you to see when equipment needs to be cleaned without the need for interrupting the process and performing an internal inspection.
3. Compact Design
Compared to systems built using alternative materials of construction, glass components are much more compact making a glass system significantly smaller. This is especially beneficial in facilities that are facing space constraints as well as work areas where headroom can become an issue. The compact arrangement can also make shipping, delivery, and installation easier.
4. Corrosion Resistance
Similar to the properties of glass-lined steel, glass equipment provides unsurpassed corrosion resistance to water, neutral and acidic solutions, concentrated acids and acid mixtures, and to chlorine, bromine, iodine and organic substances. Its resistance to chemical attack is superior to that of most metals and other materials, even during prolonged periods of exposure and at temperatures above 100 °C. There are only a few chemicals which can cause noticeable corrosion of the glass surface - hydrofluoric acid, concentrated phosphoric acid and strong caustic solutions at elevated temperatures. However, at ambient temperatures caustic solutions up to 30% concentration can be handled by borosilicate glass without difficulty.
5. Temperature Range
Borosilicate glass’ strong resistance to temperature makes it desirable in chemical and pharmaceutical processes. The maximum permissible operating temperature for QVF borosilicate glass is 200°C (due to limiting factors such as PTFE gaskets). Above a temperature of 525°C the glass begins to soften and above a temperature of 860°C it changes to the liquid state. Conversely, it can be cooled down to the maximum possible negative temperature, but is generally recommended for use down to – 80°C. An additional benefit within temperature allowance is the ability for borosilicate glass to be exposed to two different temperatures at the same time (though for safety reasons it is recommended that temperature difference does not exceed 100 K).
6. Structural Integrity due to Low Thermal Expansion
Directly related to the large temperature differential comes the benefit of low thermal expansion. Because borosilicate glass doesn’t expand like ordinary glass, there is a smoother transition between temperatures as well as the ability to withstand different temperatures at the same time. Borosilicate glass has an extremely low coefficient of linear expansion (3.3 x 10–6 K–1) as a result of its low thermal expansion. Additionally, the low thermal expansion coefficient eliminates the need for expensive measures to compensate for thermal expansion resulting from changes in temperature. This becomes especially significant in the layout of long runs of glass pipeline, ensuring a high level of structural integrity. For this reason, borosilicate glass is an approved and proven material in the construction of pressure equipment.
Compared to other materials of construction that offer similar properties such as corrosion resistance, glass is relatively economical to produce. When compared to the other options such as quartz, glass is an extremely affordable solution. Its sustainability is an additional factor that adds to its affordability; with proper maintenance and care, your glass equipment can have a long life.
8. Inert Behavior
Because there is no interaction or ion exchange between the process media and glass, there is no catalytic effect. The inertness of borosilicate glass also means it is nonflammable and poses no environmental risk. Due to the inert behavior of QVF glass there is no smell or taste alterations and can therefore be used in an almost unrestricted way in pharmaceutical applications and in the food and beverage industry.
Just because glass can break when dropped or mishandled does not mean it is a weaker material of construction. Glass components have proven to be durable and reliable over many years of operation when installed and handled correctly. Here’s what we love about borosilicate glass - it’s clear, easy to clean, inert, economical, chemical and corrosion resistant and is a thermal champion. From laboratory/research and development up to full production, glass components and systems are available in a wide range of sizes and designs to build a custom solution based on the volume of your operation. These systems include (but are not limited to) reaction, distillation, extraction, evaporation, cryogenic and absorption systems.
QVF borosilicate glass parts and systems are all CE stamped and meet the highest credentials for conformity for quality. The strict manufacturing standards are performed by expert glass blowers at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Mainz, Germany where it has been performed for well over a century.

title: Show bug.cgi

text:
It looks like under certain conditions a user error handler routine set by XSetErrorHandler can be effectively canceled from inside of Xt/Selection.c. The place to suspect is the loop in the SelectionRequest case of HandleSelectionEvents function. Under certain conditions there can be several two calls to EndProtectedSection after single StartProtectedSection. Since EndProtectedSection zeroes the global oldErrorHandler variable, the second call to EndProtectedSection restores the default error procedure instead of user's one. Probably there exist more than one problematic code fragments. (Checked in 6.6 and 6.8.1 sources).
*** Bug 1479 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Created attachment 16700 [details] src/Selection.c HandleSelectionEvents() (SelectionRequest case) has been modified for balanced "EndProtectedSectioning". Note: This "patch" is based on libXt-1.0.4 from the releases section.
Created attachment 16706 [details] Diff of HandleSelectionEvents (base is libXt-1.0.4) Here's the diff of the change (again, based on libXt-1.0.4). Note: I was not able to find a problem with the loop logic, namely since whenever GetConversion returns true, it has always called StartProtectedSection. The potential fix here is to call StartProtectedSection in the non-for-loop if so that there is again a balance of Start/StopProtectedSection calls.
We have discovered we are having numerous crashes in our software due to this bug. We have implemented a sledgehammer approach of continually resetting the X error handler in our event loop, but having this fix actually made to the code would solve the crashes without the workaround. Is there any possibility that this fix can actually be made to the released code base?
Sorry about the delay - libXt is mostly unmaintained these days since so little uses it and no one involved knows much about it. (Of course, should anyone who knows much about it and needs it to work for their software want to join X.Org to help maintain this library, we're always looking for more volunteers.) I can't claim to know enough about this fix to review it, but it seems simple enough that I've gone ahead and pushed it to git master anyway so others can start testing. Patches are generally handled most quickly when submitted as actual context diffs, not replacement source files or HTML dumps - see http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches for guidelines.

The Baldwin County School District announced today the establishment of the Floyd & Nathalie Griffin Endowed Scholarship to support future REACH Scholars.
“Colonel Floyd Griffin has been a staunch and tireless supporter of our public schools here in Baldwin County, and this endowment is going to have a meaningful, positive impact for the students selected to receive it,” Said Superintendent Dr. Noris Price.
“I firmly believe that we must do everything in our power to support our local public schools and students,” said former State Senator Griffin. “Education is the foundation that our personal and collective success depends on. This endowment is meant to empower these students with the support they need so that they can graduate high school, attend college and bring that knowledge back to Baldwin County where we can build a better community, together.”
Colonel Floyd Griffin is also one of the 2017 REACH Scholars financial sponsors, having made a very generous donation to support these students, as they embark on the rigorous academic and behavioral requirements that lay ahead of them as part of the REACH Scholarship Program. The endowment will be managed by the Baldwin Charter System Foundation of Excellence Board of Directors.
REACH Georgia is the State of Georgia’s first needs-based mentorship and college scholarship
program. The mission is to ensure that Georgia’s academically promising students have the academic, social, and financial support needed to graduate from high school, access college, and achieve postsecondary success.
Beginning in the 8th grade and through high school, REACH Scholars are paired with a mentor and an academic coach. Scholars must maintain good grades (a minimum of a 2.5 GPA), behavior and attendance. Scholars who successfully complete the program and graduate from high school are awarded a $10,000 scholarship ($2,500/year) that can be used at a University System of Georgia, Technical College System of Georgia or eligible private postsecondary institution. If the REACH scholar attends a partner university, the scholarship doubles to $20,0000 ($5,000 per year). The scholarship is in addition to any other grant or scholarship the student receives.
In addition to his very generous financial contribution, Colonel Griffin will also be donating his time by mentoring students who can benefit from having another caring adult in their lives.
Colonel Floyd Griffin has found success across many endeavors having been an Army helicopter pilot and flight instructor in Vietnam, the first African-American mayor of Milledgeville, state senator, and business owner, all of which provided him a broad depth of experience to help mentor our students.


title: Handwarmers

text:
Day 6 of our 12 Days of Christmas Freebies is here! These hand warmers will make great stocking stuffers for everyone on your Christmas list. There are two different sizes (for kids and adults) or you can use your own custom measurements and make them however big/small you like.
They are great gifts for outdoorsmen and sports fans, slip them into your pockets for outdoor walks on chilly days, or just to give you some soothing heat and sore muscle relief. These are so simple to make. They are great projects for beginner sewists and the kids can help out with them, too!
Download the Hand Warmers Pattern Pieces in the Freebies section of the website right HERE! I will also list the measurements below if you want to skip the pieces and get started right now. 😉
Safety is of critical importance when selecting supplies. Use natural fibers when selecting fabric and thread. Fabrics and threads with synthetic/metallic materials may cause fibers to melt, smoke, burn, or spark fire in the microwave. DO NOT USE any adhesives or fusible hem tape when assembling. Remove all pins, clips and needles from hand warmer before microwaving. Use proper microwave safety and do not leave microwave unattended. Please use caution and always check temperature before handling and giving to children for use. Made for Mermaids is not responsible for any accidents, personal injuries or property damages that may occur.
- Fabric: 100% cotton, 100% wool, cotton flannel- USE NATURAL FIBERS!!
- 100% cotton thread
- Uncooked white rice (approximately 1/2 cup for one large warmer and 1/4 cup for one small warmer)
- Basic Sewing Tools: Pins, ruler, turning tool, needle
- Optional- 100% cotton embroidery floss
Let’s Get Started!
1/2″ SEAM ALLOWANCE INCLUDED
Step 1: CUTTING
Cut out your pattern pieces or use the measurements listed below. You will need to cut 2 squares (choose small/child or large/adult) per hand warmer. If you want to make 2 hand warmers, cut 4 squares.
Large/Adult size- cut 2 or cut 4 5″ x 5″
Small/Child size- cut 2 or cut 4 3.5″ x 3.5″
Step 2: CONSTRUCTION
Place 2 squares right sides together. Pin around all four sides leaving a small opening for turning. Stitch together with 1/2″ seam allowance.
Cut across each corner. Trim seam allowance on all sides. DO NOT TRIM the allowance of the opening. (I like to use my pinking shears.)
Use a turning tool and turn your hand warmer right side out. Use a point former or chopstick to push out the corners. Press well.
Step 3: FILLING HAND WARMER
Insert your funnel into the opening. Fill your hand warmer with uncooked rice. I used less than a 1/2 cup of rice for the adult size and just under 1/4 cup for the child size. You don’t want to fill it too full, or the warmer will be hard and won’t form well to your hand.
Step 4: CLOSING UP WARMER
Hand stitch your hand warmer closed. You can whip stitch or use an invisible/ladder stitch if desired.
Step 5: OPTIONAL DECORATIVE STITCH
Add some extra handmade flair to your hand warmer by using a blanket embroidery stitch around the seams.
Step 6: HEAT IT UP
Place hand warmers in the microwave and heat for about 20 seconds. Do not leave microwave unattended. Check temperature. If more heat is desired, heat again in 10 second increments.
Slip into coat pockets, chilly hands, or place on sore muscles and enjoy! Please use caution and always check temperature before handling and giving to children for use.


title: 12 military action films that reflected societal change by decade

text:
Military action films have long captivated audiences with their thrilling depictions of warfare, heroism, and the complexities of conflict. These films often serve as a lens through which society views its military engagements, reflecting not only the realities of war but also the prevailing sentiments of the time. From the gritty realism of battle to the glorification of heroism, military action films have evolved significantly over the decades, mirroring changes in societal attitudes, political climates, and technological advancements.
As we delve into the history of military action films, we will explore how these cinematic narratives have been shaped by the wars they depict and the cultural contexts in which they were produced. The genre has a unique ability to evoke strong emotions, whether it be pride in one’s country, empathy for soldiers, or critical reflection on the consequences of war. The portrayal of military action in film often oscillates between glorification and critique, making it a powerful medium for storytelling.
As we journey through the decades, we will examine how military action films have not only entertained but also influenced public perception and discourse surrounding war and its implications.
1960s: The Vietnam War and Anti-War Sentiment in Film
The Patriotic View: A Fading Narrative
Films like “The Green Berets” (1968), starring John Wayne, attempted to present a patriotic view of the Vietnam War. However, they were met with backlash from a growing counterculture that sought to challenge the narrative.
A New Era of War Films
In contrast, movies such as “Apocalypse Now” (1979) and “Full Metal Jacket” (1987) emerged later, showcasing the psychological toll of war and the moral ambiguities faced by soldiers. These films highlighted the disillusionment felt by many Americans as they grappled with the consequences of U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
Questioning the Righteousness of War
The anti-war sentiment that permeated this era was not just a backdrop; it became a central theme in many military action films, prompting audiences to question the righteousness of their nation’s military endeavors.
1970s: Post-Vietnam War Films and the Rise of the Action Hero
As the dust settled from the Vietnam War, the 1970s ushered in a new era for military action films characterized by a burgeoning sense of disillusionment and a shift towards individualism. The rise of the action hero became emblematic of this period, with characters like John Rambo from “First Blood” (1982) embodying both strength and vulnerability. These heroes were often portrayed as lone warriors battling against overwhelming odds, reflecting a societal yearning for resilience amidst chaos.
The decade also saw an increase in films that explored themes of trauma and reintegration into civilian life. Movies like “Coming Home” (1978) delved into the struggles faced by veterans returning from war, highlighting issues such as PTSD and societal alienation. This nuanced portrayal of soldiers marked a departure from earlier films that celebrated uncritical heroism, instead offering a more complex understanding of the human experience in wartime.
The action hero became not just a symbol of physical prowess but also a representation of emotional depth and moral conflict.
1980s: Cold War Tensions and the Birth of the Blockbuster Action Film
The 1980s were defined by heightened Cold War tensions, which significantly influenced the landscape of military action films. This decade witnessed the birth of the blockbuster action film, characterized by high-octane sequences, larger-than-life heroes, and patriotic fervor. Films like “Rambo: First Blood Part II” (1985) and “Top Gun” (1986) epitomized this trend, presenting an idealized vision of American military power while simultaneously tapping into the anxieties surrounding global conflict.
These films often served as escapist entertainment, allowing audiences to indulge in fantasies of heroism and triumph over adversaries. However, beneath the surface, they also reflected a desire for reassurance during a time of geopolitical uncertainty. The portrayal of military personnel as invincible heroes resonated with audiences seeking clarity in an increasingly complex world.
The 1980s solidified the action genre’s dominance in Hollywood, setting a precedent for future military films that would continue to blend spectacle with themes of patriotism.
1990s: Gulf War and the Evolution of Military Action Films
The Gulf War in the early 1990s brought about another transformation in military action films, as filmmakers sought to capture the rapid technological advancements and media saturation that characterized this conflict. Movies like “Courage Under Fire” (1996) and “Three Kings” (1999) explored not only the battlefield but also the ethical dilemmas faced by soldiers in modern warfare. The portrayal of military action began to shift towards a more nuanced understanding of conflict, emphasizing moral ambiguity and the complexities of contemporary warfare.
The Gulf War also marked a turning point in how military action films engaged with real-world events. With live news coverage bringing images of war into American living rooms, filmmakers had to navigate the fine line between entertainment and responsible storytelling. This era saw an increase in films that aimed to provide a more realistic depiction of combat while still delivering thrilling action sequences.
The evolution of military action films during this decade reflected a growing awareness of the consequences of war on both soldiers and civilians alike.
2000s: War on Terror and the Portrayal of Modern Warfare in Film
The events of September 11, 2001, ushered in a new era for military action films as America entered into what would be known as the War on Terror. This period saw filmmakers grappling with the complexities of modern warfare, including issues such as terrorism, insurgency, and asymmetric conflict. Films like “Black Hawk Down” (2001) and “American Sniper” (2014) sought to portray the realities faced by soldiers in combat zones while also addressing broader themes of sacrifice and patriotism.
The portrayal of military personnel became more multifaceted during this time, with characters often depicted as grappling with moral dilemmas and personal struggles amidst their duty. The genre began to reflect a more critical perspective on war, acknowledging not only the heroism but also the psychological toll that combat takes on individuals. This shift was indicative of a society grappling with its own understanding of warfare in an age defined by terrorism and global conflict.
2010s: Shift in Perspective on War and Military Action Films
As we moved into the 2010s, military action films continued to evolve alongside changing societal attitudes towards war. The decade saw an increasing emphasis on authenticity and realism, with filmmakers striving to depict the complexities of modern conflicts more accurately. Movies like “Zero Dark Thirty” (2012) and “Lone Survivor” (2013) sought to provide insight into real-life operations while exploring themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and moral ambiguity.
Moreover, there was a growing recognition of diverse perspectives within military narratives. Filmmakers began to highlight stories from different viewpoints, including those of civilians affected by war and soldiers from various backgrounds. This shift allowed for a richer exploration of the human experience in conflict situations, moving beyond traditional tropes associated with military action films.
The genre became a platform for examining not only heroism but also vulnerability, trauma, and resilience.
The Influence of Societal Change on Military Action Films
In conclusion, military action films have undergone significant transformations over the decades, shaped by societal changes, political climates, and evolving perceptions of war. From the anti-war sentiment of the 1960s to the blockbuster spectacles of the 1980s and beyond, these films have served as both reflections and critiques of their times. As audiences engage with these narratives, they are invited to confront complex questions about heroism, sacrifice, and the moral implications of warfare.
The influence of societal change on military action films is undeniable; these cinematic narratives not only entertain but also provoke thought and discussion about our collective understanding of conflict. As we look to the future, it is likely that military action films will continue to adapt to reflect contemporary issues while remaining a powerful medium for storytelling that resonates with audiences around the world. Through their ability to capture both the excitement and tragedy of war, these films will undoubtedly remain an integral part of our cultural landscape for years to come.

Responsibility for exotic animals is shared by a number of Departments. The Department of the Environment and Local Government is responsible for matters relating to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, CITES, and is also the competent authority in relation to the transposition and implementation of Council Directive 1999/22/EC of 29 March 1999 which concerns the keeping of wild animals in zoos. One of the measures to be taken by member states under this directive is to prevent the escape of animals in order to avoid possible ecological threats to indigenous species and to prevent the intrusion of outside pets and vermin. The Office of Public Works has responsibility for Dublin Zoo.
The area where my Department has a responsibility in relation to exotic animals is in respect of compliance with animal health regulations concerning veterinary certification at time of import and export. Provided there is compliance with veterinary rules, there can be no restriction on inter-Community trade in exotic animals. The interdepartmental group on exotic animals last met in September 1999. This is due in large measure to the fact that my Department has in the intervening period had to accord a higher priority to more pressing animal health and welfare matters. It has had to focus available resources and effort on a range of planned and unplanned issues which have arisen in this area. I hope that my Department and the other interested parties can return to the matter of exotic animals in the near future.
With regard to the suggested legislation on the keeping of exotic and dangerous wild animals drafted by the Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, it should be noted that the situation with regard to the keeping of animals in zoos is now subject to the provisions of Council Directive 1999/22/EC of 29 March 1999. The Department of the Environment and Local Government is currently transposing this directive into Irish law.

Know More About Manganese Casting
1.Why we choose Manganese Casting liner ?
Manganese steel has been used in crushing applications for over 100 years, so it’s easy to take it for granted. It continues to be used because of the remarkable property that makes it ideal for wear liners: the harder you hit it, the harder it gets.
2.How much manganese ?
So the more manganese the better, right? There’s a little more to it than that. It's true that, within a certain range, the higher the manganese content in an alloy, the harder it will be. This simple relation probably explains the popularity of alloys with a high manganese content over the last few decades.However, by increasing the hardness of a wear liner you also increase its brittleness.
A more brittle alloy is more vulnerable to cracking under high impact. An alloy with a slightly lower manganese content (around 13-14%) will be more ductile and durable, and can therefore absorb more hits without cracking. Depending on the application, harder isn’t always better. Alloys with a high manganese content are especially good for crushing abrasive rocks, but for crushing harder rocks you may be better with a lower manganese content that offers greater impact resistance.
Then there is the presence of other elements in the alloy – carbon increases the hardness and wear resistance of the alloy, and chromium helps prevent ‘metal growth’ (where the liner expands and becomes too large for the crusher). Getting the right ratio of these elements relative to manganese is a delicate balance. Too much carbon or chromium affects the atomic structure of an alloy, stopping it from solidifying into an austenitic microstructure – this would make the alloy far weaker and it wouldn’t have the desired work-hardening qualities.
3.What is the famous Materil Hyton Serviced ?
Hyton mainly service the Manganese casting liner like : 13%MN, 18%MN, 22% MN MN13CR2, MN18CR2, MN22CR2 MN13CRMO MN18CRMO MN22CRMO.
