Yuneec E430 to be World's First Production Plug-In Aircraft
Small, personally owned aircraft are becoming more common throughout the world. Not only are they becoming increasing easy to fly, but they also are becoming less expensive to operate and maintain. A perfect example of this can be seen with the Yuneec E430 all electric airframe set to go on sale next year.
Upon its release, the E430 will be the first commercially available plug-in aircraft. From completely depleted, the lithium polymer battery stack can be charged in 3 hours on a standard 230 volt outlet. A full charge provides up to 2.5 hours in the air. The E430 is 52 foot wide at the wings and uses a 54 horsepower electric motor to stay in the air.
The Chinese built airframe made its first test flight back on the 12th of June at the hands of Shun Xun. According Xun, the flight was quiet and nearly vibration free. Being built for simplicity, the E430 is easy to pilot and requires a minimum amount of maintenance on the part of the owner.
MSRP for the E430 is set at $89,000 and will go on sale in the first part of 2010.Green Packs

I apologise for not writing up on Lockdown KL soon enough. They have really good games, and I particularly enjoyed Top Secret. Lockdown KL is located at one of the top floors in Lot 10, Bukit Bintang. It is situated far away from the usual mass of traffic at the ground floor and basement, so it may be hard to notice. This is a franchise coming in from Singapore. We've also played a new room at Lockdown Sg, with reviews coming soon. As Lockdown Sg is a partnership between Singaporean and Hungrarian game designers, you would be able to find rooms which are more Singaporean or Hungrarian in flavour (not the language!). We were informed that Top Secret is a Singapore-design game. It does have some minor modications to localize the puzzles to the KL setting, which is kinda awesome.
Top Secret is not a big room. Yet we're impressed in the number of puzzles being fit into such a small space, with effective use of space and all the props. In this game, we are to sneak into a competing firm's office to steal a trade secret. Industrial espionage in action! Despite being really small, the room feels real. It looks exactly like your dad's old school office with desk and lockers and old laptops. The puzzles are thematic at its best, incorporating some of the commonly found office technologies, which helps in the immersiveness of the game. Even though this is one of the more difficult games in Lockdown KL, the puzzle difficulty would be suited for all levels of players except for probably the true beginners. Most puzzles are low in complexity, involving matching clues or numbers to the corresponding locks. We like that there are no tedious searches, and no distractions. One puzzle requires a little more out of the box thinking (we're stumped on that for very long), and this is the only puzzle that feels out of place in the whole setting. There wasn't much physicality involved, so skirts are ok here. The endgame is satisfying, with the success of retrieving the secret document and escaping in time.
In short, we would recommend Top Secret, especially for its thematic puzzles although being a little simple. We bulldozed through 3 games in a day, a testimonial of the enjoyable time we had. We also had a great chat with David, one of the game designers here. We learnt about the use of a psychology concept called Flow theory in designing great escape games. Hopefully, Lockdown KL will continue to import more games from their Singapore HQ. We are running out of games to play~~
Image grabbed from Lockdown KL, go book a game!!

Starting from 1 January 2018 so-called "Google tax" will be introduced in Belarus. It means that foreign companies rendering electronic services to Belarus residents will be obliged to register with the tax authorities and pay VAT.
BelarusFeed compiled a list of key facts you should know about the new tax.
What is Google Tax?
The term appeared after several countries subjected foreign big tech companies delivering e-services to VAT.

However, the tax is not limited by VAT, its concept is aimed at preventing tax evasion by IT-comapnies.
What are e-services?
E-services are services of a foreign company rendered through the Internet with the use of information technologies.
They include:
- transfer of rights to use software (including computer games) and databases, electronic content (music, audiovisual works, e-books and other electronic publications, graphics) on the Internet;
- advertising services on the Internet;
- services on searching and/or provision of data on prospective clients to the customer;
- services on provision of a real-time trading platform on the Internet;
- storage and processing of data when the data provider has access to data via the Internet;
- provision of domain names and hosting services;
- provision of access to search engines on the Internet.
Who will pay?
If a foreign company meets all the conditions below it will be obliged to pay VAT in Belarus:
- the company renders electronic services;
- lace of supply of e-services is Belarus;
- e-services are rendered to consumers residing in Belarus.
What to do?
For fulfillment of VAT obligations foreign companies must register with the Ministry of Tax and Duties.
Read also: 9 changes of President Lukashenko's decree that will turn Belarus into IT-heaven
After registration the company should send VAT return declarations via tax-payer account on a quartely basis.
How to calculate VAT?
E-services will be subject to 20% VAT. Tax base of e-services will be equal to value of the services with VAT.
VAT on e-services will be calculated as follows: (VAT base * VAT rate) / 120.
In other words, VAT on e-services can be calculated through multiplying price of e-services by 16,67%.

Top 3 Hardware Additions for Your Coffee Shop
Published on: April 28, 2015
Coffee shops are a trending small business service that shows no signs of slowing down. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, coffee shop locations are growing more than 10 percent each year. If you're a coffee shop owner, how do you maximize efficiency to stay ahead of the competition? Here are 3 helpful hardware additions for your coffee shop:
- Digital Menu Boards
Digital menu boards are an integral piece of hardware for any quick service location, especially coffee shops. High resolution images are projected onto TV's that show menus and prices. Digital menu boards are also a great way for owners to showcase specials or highlight new items. See an example of some digital menu boards below:
- Kitchen Display System
Kitchen display systems, or KDS for short, display orders to the kitchen from the Point of Sale system. For coffee shops, a KDS can be used in a variety of ways. If your coffee shop serves sandwiches or dishes, orders can be sent to the kitchen for chefs and cooks to prepare. For coffee makers, the KDS can be used as easy to read barista screens. Barista screens speed up service by listing out the details of orders, specifically for people who like their coffee a certain way. Baristas will finally be able to appreciate orders like: non-fat latte, two pumps, extra cream, one sugar, whipped cream, dash of cinnamon.
- Customer Display System
Streamlining the checkout process has become a necessity for coffee shops to keep lines moving and orders coming in. Customer display systems (CDS) act as customer facing engagement tool to display orders and payments. Customers can follow along as their order is being input into the system to see if everything they've ordered is correct. The CDS will prompt payment options and in most cases, will ask the customer if they would like to leave a tip. In a recent study by Software Advice, it was found that owners who use iPad POS systems rather than legacy systems are more likely to see an increase in tips. This way, adding a customer display system is like adding a digital tip jar to your counter.
All three of these hardware additions for your coffee shop can be seamlessly integrated with a Revel iPad Point of Sale.

Stand with FamiliesMarch 9, 2018
Sign the pledge to tell Congress to value our families.
Add your name to the pledge here.
Families are the cornerstone of American communities and help our country thrive. Yet in the State of the Union address the President in his comments criminalized immigrants and used the derogatory term "chain migration" to devalue immigrant families and communities.
These comments are a direct attack upon our communities and families. Many immigrants, including most Asians, come to the United States through family sponsorship, but immigration based on family relationships is far from easy. Though 3 in 4 Asian American adults were born outside the U.S., a significant portion of would-be immigrants are waiting decades just to have a chance to be reunited with family. Of the five countries with the longest backlogs for visas, four are in Asia.
When the President makes offensive comments about immigrants from certain countries of color and praises immigrants from Norway, it is clear that the proposal to ban families is about keeping America white. It is another white nativist policy that seeks to denigrate entire groups of people.
Together, families buy homes and start businesses that create jobs. Caretakers, who are predominantly women, often do unpaid and undervalued work which enables their family members to work outside the home. Family members step in to provide support in times of personal and economic hardship. Our families matter.
Stand up for immigrants and their families. Stand up for family unification.
We'll deliver your names to Congress and make sure they value our families, too.

Reeves skimmia is a dwarf broad-leaf evergreen with attractive leaves and colorful fall berries.
Description of Reeves skimmia: Reeves skimmia is a low-growing shrub reaching up to 2 feet high by 3 feet in diameter, eventually forming a compact mound. Its narrowly elliptic leaves are light green. The white flowers appear in terminal clusters in spring, followed by oval, crimson fruits that persist until winter. The contrast between the red fruits and the green foliage is a highly decorative one.
: Grow in partial to full shade in a rich, moist, well-drained, acid soil. Prune only if rejuvenation is necessary. Unlike most skimmias, Reeves skimmia produces bisexual flowers, so it can produce berries with no need for a separate variety for pollination purposes.
: This shrub is good for foundation plantings, borders, rock gardens, and plantings of mixed broad-leaf evergreens.
Reeves skimmia related species: The Japanese skimmia (Skimmia japonica) is taller-growing (up to 4 feet) but otherwise similar in appearance and use. At least one male should be planted to ensure berry production on the female plants.
: Skimmia Reevesiana (S. japonica reevesiana)

"I feel right now in my career the toughest part's that I don't have today's sound. I was born in '88 in the Golden Era of hip hop when lyricism actually meant something. That's what I try to do."
Check out the interview with Trizzy Traphik exclusively on Skilly Magazine Online.
Skilly: How were you able to start your journey in the entertainment business? Where did this all start?
Trizzy Traphik: Fortunately enough I had a very close friend who when I first started 10 years ago had taken me under his wings and showed me the ropes. From there I got my own set up, pushed a few tapes, started doing shows, and gaining a following. The rest is history. Once you get your foot in the door build your name up, get a good relationship with fans, and get a good reaction in front of a couple hundred people.
What are some of the creative ways you use to promote your music?
I promote myself in numerous different ways. One which's the obvious and that's through social media. Another way I like to promote myself is through other independent artists. If you get indie artists to get on a track with you no matter who's song it is it's going to be uploaded to a social network and shared through another.
What is the greatest challenge you face in today's entertainment business? How do you overcome them?
I feel right now in my career the toughest part's that I don't have today's sound. I was born in '88 in the Golden Era of hip hop when lyricism actually meant something. That's what I try to do. As far as overcoming my challenges I know if I stick true to the craft and continue to write for what I believe in no challenge is impossible.
How is the music scene like in your hometown? What do you like about it and what don't you like?
The music scene's pretty tough in Cleveland. The best part about the music in the city is it never sleeps. Cleveland's got a lot of good venues for live music with local promoters doing their best to help the up and coming artists – that also runs into that part I dislike. That's the amount of hate and lack of support there's from other artists.
Where do you think the future of music is going to be? How do you feel artists can be more a part of it?
If it's anything like it is today hip hop's not going to be around long. I hope that it gets back to music that actually meant something. Music changes lives. When creativity sinks in we got to stop brainwashing people with molly and turning up and give them something that's going to inspire them or pull them out of a dark place.
What advice can you give to other upcoming artists and musicians trying to achieve success?
Be real and stay true to your craft. Take all criticism, whether good or bad and use it to your advantage to perfect your craft. You're going to have haters who talk down and do everything in their power to stop you from getting it. You just got to stay focused and follow what you think is right.
What inspires you to write your next song?
Everyday life and the struggles you go through as a starving artist. Also the feeling knowing your proving people wrong while on the come up.
What are the steps you take to make a song?
I start by vibing out in the studio to some beats and then I come up with the idea or topic. I write the hook first and set the tone for the verse. I finish with the verse and then I record. Normally it takes me 1 week from start to finish. That's writing, recording, editing, and mixing and mastering.
What do you think makes a great song?
The message and structure of the song's what makes it great. You can always gain fans by connecting with them through the music.
Where can we connect with you? Can you give us your social media links and where we can contact you?
Find me on Facebook @TrizzyTraphik. Through there you can find me on all other social media sites.

Actress Emilia Clarke doesn't exactly have the best track record when it comes to fashion magazine covers. Whether she's fronting Vogue China, US Glamour or UK Harper's Bazaar, members of our forums frequently complain that her beauty fails to translate to print. Has US Harper's Bazaar managed to break the streak? For the magazine's December 2017/January 2018 issue, the current face of Dolce & Gabbana's 'The One' fragrance makes a triumphant return to the cover, wearing the Italian fashion label on the flower-filled newsstand cover (below) shot on location at Kew Gardens in London, England by photographer Mariano Vivanco.
Major kudos to Bazaar this month, because our forum members were beyond thrilled. "Her best cover yet, and it was the last magazine I'd have thought to get it right! She looks flawless, I can somewhat stand the floral overload, and I like how the cover lines frame the image for once. What a splendid image to not only end a year filled with power women on their cover, but also a promising start to 2018!" raved Benn98.
"Instead of being in character, it's nice to see her look like herself – and look well – and as I say that, I've realized the only US magazine I consistently buy these days is this one," noted tigerrouge.
"It's absolutely gorgeous and probably her best cover yet. She looks sublime! Love this!" declared happycanadian.
In agreement over how wonderful everything looked was Miss Dalloway. "Stunning cover for both, Emilia and HB, and we all know both have plenty of bad ones on the record. This is surprisingly lovely," she admired.
"I love Emilia but TBH when I was clicking on this link I was expecting the worst…but this is honestly lovely. Emilia looks beautiful and her eyes are utterly gorgeous. I'm happily surprised with this!" applauded bluestar.
"Very, very pretty and looks like something US HB might have produced in the mid-2000s, rather than this decade, which is a big compliment to Glenda [Bailey] and team at this point in time," commented an impressed Fiercification.
Is this Emilia's best magazine cover yet? See more from the shoot and add your own two cents here.

La cage d'orée (Ruben Alves – France) 90 minutes
France's Portuguese community – one million strong – is one of the country's most unassuming success stories of integration. Most arrived in the post-war years, fleeing the underdeveloped economy, and often repression, of Salazar's Estado Novo, and made a number of trades their own, notably construction, painting and decorating and, most of all, the position of concierge, the superintendant of Parisian residential buildings. Facing less severe discrimination than Arab or African immigrants, the Franco-Portuguese have done well. Unlike other European immigrant groups in France though, such as the Spanish, the Poles and the Italians, the Portuguese have remained steadfastly connected to the old country. Many second-generation Portuguese are bilingual and will always choose the Selecçao over France, were the two to meet in a major football match (as they often do). Ruben Alves' comedy La cage d'orée is a long-overdue portrayal of a community that has until now been largely ignored by French cinema.
The Ribeiro family live in the concierge lodge of a bourgeois building in Paris' wealthy 16th arrondissement; mother Maria (Rita Blanco) takes care of the residents' every need while José (Joaquim de Almeida) is a construction-site foreman. Son Carlos (Jean-Pierre Martins) is still at school while Paula (Barbara Cabrita) has started seeing the son of her father's boss. José one day learns he has inherited a vineyard in the Douro valley from a long-estranged brother on condition that he go live there to oversee it. When word gets out that the Ribeiros are planning to leave, the building's residents and José's boss snap into action to prevent it by whatever means necessary.
La cage d'orée (the gilded cage) is a pretty unsophisticated comedy and is loaded to the point of cliche with all the familiar trappings of Portuguese life – the virgin of Fatima, pastéis de nata, fado (with Amália Rodrigues to the fore, of course), bacalhau à bras, the music of Rodrigo Leão (who contributed the soundtrack, much of it recycled), Port, Super Bock, and so on. The sporting idol of the Franco-Portuguese, PSG's record scorer Pauleta even makes a goofy guest appearance. The central conceit is a bit flawed as, though it might be funny to a French audience, from the point of view of a neutral observer trying to prevent an immigrant from returning home has a touch of cruelty to it that sits uncomfortably with gentle comedy.
Nonetheless Alves' film has some surprisingly sharp insights into the immigrant experience, particularly the tension between the yearning for the homeland and the commitments of life in the new country. It also movingly throws into relief the inferiority complex of the Portuguese vis-à-vis their French hosts (never mind that Portuguese culture and society are every bit as rich as those of France). It's none too complicated and has the air of TV comedy about it but La cage d'orée is a pleasant portrait of a quietly proud immigrant community and it is nice to see the stone-faced Joaquim de Almeida get a go at comedy, being far more used to playing minor Latino tough guys in Hollywood movies.

After the New England Patriots lost to the New York Giants at the Super Bowl last night, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was consoled at the stadium by his supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen.
As Bundchen, Tom and their entourage walked out, she turned to her friend and huffed, "My husband cannot f***ing throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times."
Bundchen was referring to Brady's teammates, Wes Walker and Aaron Hernandez, among other Patriots players who clearly weren't playing their best game.
A NY Giants fan heckled Gisele as they were exiting, and screamed, "Eli owns your husband!"

Clonmel High School and Abbey CBS through to final this Friday
Clonmel High School have reached the final of the U19 O'Brien Cup following a 21-13 win over Abbeyfeale Community College in Clonmel last Thursday.
In a very physical match played in difficult conditions, the High School were made work very hard by a determined Abbeyfeale side. They will face the Abbey School from Tipperary Town in the final, who had a very impressive 20-0 victory over a fancied Tralee CBS team in Abbeyfeale also last Thursday.
Based on the results to date, it would seem that the Abbey edge it in the favourite stakes with a very formidable pack and fast running backs. They have had notable wins over Carrigaline Community School, Waterpark College and Charleville CBS in the earlier rounds, while the High School accounted for St. Mary's, Newport and Pobalscoil na Trionoide, Youghal.
The final will be played this Friday, December 2 in Cashel RFC at 2pm.

Like the majority of everyday people, you probably are not well-educated on all the details of law. A lot of us in the future are going to find ourselves needing to get a lawyer, and that can be a little difficult to do. The advice in this article will insist you in that.
A specialist may cost more per hour, but it'll be less in the long run. You'll find that a regular lawyer will take more time than a specialist which costs you more in the long run.
Talk to others about finding a lawyer. If possible, ask friends or relatives who have dealt with similar issues in the past. This can relieve some of the stress involved and help you to make a wise choice.
Ask your lawyer questions. A good attorney will make sure to explain all of the details to you. If your lawyer does not answer your questions, consider hiring a different attorney.
Before signing contracts, be sure the lawyer has won some cases that are similar to yours. Look up cases that he has won or lost, rather than just taking his word that he is excels in the field you need help in. Ask a few questions to your lawyer if you cannot find any information on their website.
Make a log of each interaction that you make with a lawyer. Take note of the day, time, fees paid and anything else that was discussed. This will help you if there are any billing or other issues later.
Make sure to ask plenty of questions when interviewing lawyers. During any primary consultation, a good lawyer will be able to address whatever questions you might have for them. They have to make sure your comfortable with their skills. If they are unwilling to do that, just walk away because they are wrong for you.
Before hiring a lawyer, contact the bar association in your area to see if they have ever had any complaints filed against them. If they have some, read into them and make your judgments on whether you want to hire them.
Online lawyer referral services don't necessarily screen the attorneys on their lists. No matter how you come across your lawyer, you must take the time to research each lawyer you're interested in, prior to hiring them.
Having your paperwork ready prior to a consultation can speed up the process and result in a lower price. Having all the necessary information on hand will help the attorney give you an accurate estimate of fees. Being thorough can cut the costs.
Lawyers cannot win every case. Any lawyer that promises you a winning outcome should be avoided. Nothing is guaranteed, so avoid those who boast.
Legal issues can be confusing and overwhelming. This article was your first step. If you want to find success in finding a good lawyer that you can trust and respect, you definitely need to put the information that you read above to work for you in your important search.

The World Series of Fighting 7 light heavyweight showdown between Anthony "Rumble" Johnson and Mike "MAK" Kyle has been cancelled after Kyle suffered a broken toe in training and was forced to withdraw from the contest.
The new main event will be a previously announced five-round bout for World Series of Fighting's inaugural featherweight title between Georgi "Insane" Karakhanyan (22-3-1) and Lance "Unstoppable" Palmer (7-0).
"I'm as disappointed as anyone that we're forced to cancel this fight, but Mike just could not compete with his broken toe, and we simply could not find a suitable opponent for Anthony on such short notice," World Series of Fighting President Ray Sefo said. "That said, we are fortunate that we still have a fantastic championship match-up between Georgi Karakhanyan and Lance Palmer that will now serve as our main event, and I think fans are still going to enjoy an incredible fight card."
Karakhanyan brings an eight-fight winning streak to the match-up. The 28-year-old Millennia MMA fighter, who was born in Russia, but now makes his home in Southern California, turned pro in 2006 and has since racked up 22 wins, including 12 submission victories and another four by knockout. He debuted for World Series of Fighting in September, scoring an impressive first-round submission win over Waylon Lowe, who had won his previous four fights by knockout.
Meanwhile, Palmer is a former four-time All-American collegiate wrestler at Ohio State University. A member of California's famed Team Alpha Male, Palmer currently trains alongside MMA standouts Urijah Faber, Joseph Benavidez, Chad Mendes, Danny Castillo and T.J. Dillashaw, among others. Palmer made his professional debut in 2011 and remains undefeated through his first seven contests, including a recent decision win that saw him claim the Resurrection Fighting Alliance featherweight title.
A light heavyweight match-up scheduled for the preliminary card between Dwayne "D-Bomb" Lewis (13-8) and Kalib Starnes (15-8-1) will now be the evening's first televised match-up.
World Series of Fighting 7: Karakhanyan vs. Palmer takes place Dec. 7 at PNE Agrodome in Vancouver. The night's main card airs on NBC Sport Network.

text: Bernard Cornwell interview When & where did you learn to sail? In the Thames Estuary. A friend of my father's ran a shrimper, the Girl Heather, which did most of its work under sail (it was the 50's and I'm guessing money was tight). She was a gaff-rigged cutter (sound familiar?) so from a very early age I learned to handle the rig. She was berthed in Hadleigh Ray and it was fairly tricky work getting out to the main channel. I don't really remember a time when I couldn't sail . . . I owned a Heron for a time, but then real life intervened and I became a BBC TV producer so for a decade or more I really didn't have the opportunity. Then when I became a writer I had the time again . . . . What drew you to your Crabber 24 originally? The look of it! I started writing in Devon and sailed a Drascombe Lugger on the Exe and I remember passing a moored Crabber. I don't believe in love at first sight, but I fervently believe in lust at first sight. I had to have one! I did love the Drascombe, but once I'd found my own Crabber I never looked back and eventually had her delivered to Massachusetts where my (American) wife and I live. Mine was originally called Crabapple, which has the merit of being a mild pun, but one which would be lost on Americans, so I changed her name to Royalist. There is, of course, a superstition that changing a boat's name will bring ill-luck, but I was assured by a fisherman in Cape Cod that the ill-luck could be averted by having a virgin piss in the bilge. Well, you can imagine what a challenge that was, but we met it! She's been in Stage Harbor now for 24 years and is much admired! Her name has been changed again (yes, we christened her properly), because seven years ago I fell among actors and now spend my summer on stage in a repertory company and really my sailing time has been cut right back, so I sold her at a knockdown price to a very close friend on the condition that I could go on using her, which I do. She's now the Hannah B. Have you ever included your sailing experience in any of your books? I think there are five 'thrillers' all set around the theme of sailing, so yes! They were written a long time ago . . . I enjoyed writing them, but really was happier writing historical novels. If you were off to enjoy a day cruising with 3 others who would be your dream crew (past or present, real or fictional) Judy (wife), Whiskey (dog), and then take your pick. Nell Gwynne would be fun! Do you have any unfulfilled sailing ambitions? I really don't! For years and years my ambition was to sail the Atlantic, then in 2004 a good friend asked if I'd help him and his wife sail a Shannon 38 from Savannah to Lisbon. We went via Bermuda and the Azores and it was everything I'd ever hoped it would be. It still remains in my mind as the best vacation I ever had. I remember how we regretted sighting the Azores, wishing that we could just go on and on! It was a magnificent adventure, but I've never had the urge to repeat it. I would, I think, given the chance, but completing that passage was the fulfilment of a lifelong dream and that's sufficient! Then, as I said, the theatre intervened. I used to be out in Royalist every day, but after the crossing? I really felt I'd done all I wanted to do and could just relax. Besides, I'm getting old, so I now have a Wasque 26 which starts at the press of a button and, God bless her, has a bow thruster.

President Trump's refusal to condemn Russia for allegations of meddling in the 2016 US election while accepting Russian President Vladimir Putin's denial has triggered many on the left along with never-Trump conservatives in a blind rage.
After declaring Trump "treasonous" and calling for a coup, many on the left are now calling Russia's alleged hacking an act of war, with some suggesting it was a modern Pearl Harbor. Aside from the 2,403 Americans who died in Pearl Harbor that just had their deaths casually compared to an alleged cybercrime, sure.
Former Homeland Security & Counterterrorism Adviser to President Bush and CBS News Senior National Security Analyst Frances Townsend is one of those people - tweeting on Tuesday night: "Putin's Attack on the U.S. Is Our Pearl Harbor. It was an Act of War and we should recognize it as such."
#Russia Putin's Attack on the U.S. Is Our Pearl Harbor. It was an Act of War and we should recognize it as such. https://t.co/Efc86N3gwA via @politico— Frances Townsend (@FranTownsend) July 18, 2018
Politico drew the same copmparison with their article: "Putin's attack on the US is new Pearl Harbor," while trotting out the "Act of War" language as well.
Members of the House and Senate have been briefed, but remain deadlocked in partisan bickering. Some in the House have spent more time investigating the investigators than they have in trying to hold Russia accountable. Trump's suggestion to accept Russian investigators into this process adds a new layer to the sideshow. When right of the boom feels like left of the boom, it's easy to miss the fact that what the Kremlin did—is doing—was, and is, an act of war. -Politico
Rep. Steve Cohen, (D-TN) - the guy who wanted to give disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok the Purple Heart - told The Hill's Buck Sexton and Krystal Ball that Russian interference was clearly an act of war, and that the U.S. should have hit back with attacks on Russian targets.
It was a foreign interference with our basic Democratic values. The underpinnings of Democratic society is elections, and free elections, and they invaded our country. A cyber attack that made Russian society valueless. They could have gone into Russian banks, Russian government. Our cyber abilities are such that we could have attacked them with a cyber attack that would have crippled Russia. -The Hill

"A cyber attack that made Russian society valueless." pic.twitter.com/qq2MmxyaST
Meanwhile, as Breitbart's Josh Caplan notes, CNN's Chris Cuomo is stoking the fire:
CNN New Day host Chris Cuomo repeatedly accused Russia of "election hacking" to wage war against the U.S. "The big, ugly white elephant in the room will be the U.S. election hacking," Cuomo speculated. "We've been calling it meddling, but I'm trying to stay away from the word because it's just way too mild. This is an act of war."
The CNN host described the Russian hacking allegations as "the truth": "How does [Donald Trump] raise the act of war of the hacking and different attacks during the U.S. election when Vladimir Putin knows damn well that President Trump doesn't really believe the truth and doesn't put a whole lot of stock in the event itself?" -Breitbart
Marketwatch's Rex Nutting suggested that "Russia's ongoing attack on our democracy amounts to an act of war," while criticizing President Trump's meeting with Putin.
Russia's ongoing attack on our democracy amounts to an act of war. But instead of confronting Russian President Vladimir Putin at a joint press conference in Finland on Monday, Donald Trump praised him. Instead of standing up to Putin, Trump stood by him. By his actions, Trump is violating his oath, in which he "solemnly swore" to not only "faithfully execute" his duties as president and commander in chief of the armed forces, but also to "preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution. -MarketWatch
Not everone's on the warpath...
Business Insider senior editor Josh Barro injected some common sense into the debate, tweeting "People like to throw this term around, "act of war." I don't think they're being very thoughtful about what that means. An act of war justifies military action."

Author Michael Malice offered some perspective:
Reminder that north Korea hacking Sony Pictures was also described as an act of war.— Michael Malice (@michaelmalice) July 17, 2018
Don't underestimate how desperate the corporate press and the government are to get us to war.
As Randoulph Bourne wrote in 1918, "war is essentially the health of the State."
Others questioned the sanity of the MSM and politicians alike for casually throwing around the notion of war:
If you're really eager for the US to enter a new phase of perpetual war -- because that's always worked out so well -- you'd publish this piece. If you had a sense of social responsibility and/or sanity, you wouldn't publish it. Media's gone off the deep end pic.twitter.com/h0bGxDVZZ9— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) July 18, 2018
A quick message to the DC establishment that wants to send our children into a war with Russia...FUCK OFF! pic.twitter.com/QBzMOfyjf9— Ed ☯ Humilitatem (@DowdEdward) July 18, 2018
And Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York offers up some suggestions for why President Trump does not accept the Intelligence Community's assessment on Russian election interference:
Twelve theories, some more plausible than others, on why Trump does not accept Intelligence Community verdict on Russian election interference: 1) He really doesn't believe it. 2) He can't admit anything that casts doubt on his victory. 3) He thinks it's an Obama plot.— Byron York (@ByronYork) July 18, 2018
4) He doesn't want to give even an inch to his adversaries. 5) He really wants to improve relations with Russia. 6) He believes Sen. Charles "Six ways from Sunday" Schumer, suspects elements of IC are out to get him.— Byron York (@ByronYork) July 18, 2018
7) He really did collude. 8) He's been a Russian asset since the 1980s. 9) Putin has something on him. 10) He's just messing with the political class. 11) He enjoys media freakout. 12) He was paying attention during the Iraq War.— Byron York (@ByronYork) July 18, 2018
Is every country whose elections the United States meddled in now entitled to retaliate for our "acts of war"?

Questions: Miscellaneous
Yes. In the Simple Pump, all metal in the pump is high-grade, lead-free stainless steel. The check valve is lead-free brass. PVC is certified for drinking water use. Fiberglass resin is certified for drinking water use. Be sure to use specific drinking water compatible hose to take water to your house, not garden hose.
"Can I store the pump long-term until I need it?"
You can — but we don't advise it. If there is some kind of large-scale problem, that is not when you want to be installing the pump for the first time and discovering, perhaps, that there is something you don't understand. Install the pump now. Make sure there are no problems. Phone us if you need any assistance. Now you know you can install it if needed. Then you can un-install and put it away for storeage if you like, or leave it where it is, installed. If you have it installed, pump a few gallons of water every couple of months.
"Please send me a catalog."
We actually don't have a paper or PDF catalogue. Every sale is different – depending on hand-operated, motorized, solar, possible desire to motorize in the future, well depth, water depth, and recovery rate. This makes the price of every system different. The only way we can create a quote that is correct for your well is to first gather information from you, and then prepare a customized system recommendation with quote. The components will differ depending on your needs.
Please explore the information under "Our Pumps", and then start the process by visiting the "Get A Quote" page. You give us the information we need, and we will send you a no-obligation quote (usually within one business day).
"Will you give me a lower price that your dealer in ________ ?"
Our resellers reach market segments that we don't, and so perform a valuable service for us. One concern of resellers in any business sector is that they work to find and educate prospective customers, only to have the manufacturer undercut them and take away some of those deals. Because of our commitment to our resellers, we will not discount below their retail price.
"CAN I cut my own PVC piping?"
There are several factors to consider about piping:
First – if you were to cut the piping, OUR WARRANTY WOULD NO LONGER APPLY — since we cannot warranty a mechanism that is dependent on the unknown quality and precision of someone else's cutting and threading.
The next point is about how much savings are possible. The answer is, "Not much, if any". The drop pipe units are not JUST piping – in the sense of a hollow tube. The pipe contains the lift rod mechanism to lift the water. The pipe, itself, is about a third of the cost of the whole "drop pipe kit". Depending on your depth, you are probably looking at about a total price for the PVC PIPING itself of around $100 – $200. So you're really not playing with a lot of money to try to make savings on. And at what cost in time and risk?
Next, you are quite right that shipping PVC is appreciable. However, the expense is not so much about weight; it is mostly about shipping 9-foot lengths. Removing PVC from the shipment does nothing to address this shipping cost, because the 9-foot-long lift rods remain be shipped. Our lift rods are fiberglass, and it took us considerable effort and time to figure out how to reliably affix their stainless steel ends. There is nothing comparable available anywhere, except from us.
Then you need to consider even being able to obtain Schedule 80 piping and Schedule 80 fittings. It's actually unlikely that any average hardware store would have Schedule 80. The local well driller's supply outlet may have the required drop pipe and fittings. But will they even sell retail to you, and at what price?
The reality is that there are little or no savings to be had, while you expose yourself to risk.
For all these reasons, we don't sell our pump without our piping.
"Can I detach the pump when I'm away?"
Well, you can, but it's not recommended. For security, you can easily make the pump much less visible. You can remove the handle and slide the pump head down to the cap, leaving just a few inches of the pump above the cap (down-periscope position). The pump AND your well can then be hidden behind a shrub or under a hollow imitation rock.
"How does the SimplePUMP compare to Company X?"
Here are some reasons why we suggest Simple Pump is the better pump:
Simple Pumps are far more reliable than most other pumps, because they are CNC-machined. This machining, directed by computer instructions, ensures every stainless steel piece is identical to the last. Superb and consistent fit makes for far less wear, and much longer life.
The structure of a Simple Pump is quite narrow — 1.75 inches at its widest — yet strong. Most other hand pumps simply cannot be installed along with a submersible in an the majority of existing wells. You would have to drill a second well in order to use it as back-up!
Our pump requires DRAMATICALLY LESS EFFORT to pump the water, due to a much lighter mechanism. For example, the Simple Pump lift rods — which transmit the pump action from the lever arm to the pump cylinder at the bottom — are made out of super-light fiberglass with a resin that is FDA approved for drinking water use. Significantly lighter weight also makes installation much easier.
The Simple Pump COSTS DRAMATICALLY LESS than other "serious" and seemingly comparable pumps. One competitor costs about $1,100 more at 200′ water level.
No other lever-arm pump manufacturer offers the option of converting to a 12 or 24 volt DC Motor. The DC motor fits precisely the same way on every Simple Pump, making installation so easy that most homeowners install the motor upgrade themselves. So if you ever wanted to convert to solar, the addition of the Simple Pump motor is quite easy and does not take a lot of work .

Abstract: While acute episodic pain is the hallmark of sickle cell disease (SCD), transition to chronic pain is a major cause of morbidity and impaired quality of life. One of the core diagnostic criteria used by Analgesic, Anesthetic, and Addiction Clinical Trial Translations Innovations Opportunities and Networks-American Pain Society Pain Taxonomy (AAPT) to define chronic SCD pain is the presence of pain on a "majority of days" in the past 6 months in one or more locations. The frequency characteristic of "majority of days" is adapted from the criteria of 15 days or more per month, used to define chronic migraine, but there are inadequate data to support this cutoff in SCD. Using an existing dataset of adults with SCD who completed patient-reported outcomes of pain interference, physical functioning, anxiety, depression, and fatigue using the National Institutes of Health (NIH) patient-reported outcomes measures information system (PROMIS) short-form instruments, we examined the association of the presence of pain on 3 or more days per week with patient-reported outcomes of functioning. In unadjusted analyses, presence of pain on 3 or more days a week was associated with higher median PROMIS scores of pain interference, anxiety, and depression. Median PROMIS scores of fatigue and physical function were worse in women compared with men in unadjusted analyses. We did not find any difference in median PROMIS pain scores between adults aged ≤35 years compared with those aged ≥35 years. In linear regression models, after adjustment for age and sex, the presence of pain on 3 or more days a week was found to be associated with worse pain interference and anxiety. These data support the clinical relevance of the frequency characteristic of pain on a "majority of days" in the definition of chronic SCD pain, and provide the rationale for prospective studies to validate the clinical definition of chronic pain in SCD.

Current record: 3-8-3, 7th ECHL North Division

It's clicking at 23.8% on the road. The PK is 22nd at 80.4% (41-51). … The "long-change" second period continues to be kind to Indy, which is outscoring teams 14-12 and outshooting them 151-126 in the middle frame … The Fuel rank 3rd in fewest PIM/game (12.9). … Cody Reichard stopped 62-of-66 shots last weekend and currently has a 3-4-1 record and a 2.66 GAA.
This week's games
Thursday: at Fort Wayne Komets (11-4-0), 7:30 p.m., Allen County War Memorial Coliseum (Radio: WXNT-1430)
Season series: Fuel trail 0-2-1
Meetings so far: 10/17 at Indy: FTW 5-4 OT; 10/18 at FTW: FTW 4-3; 10/26 at Indy: FTW 4-0The Fuel-Komets rivalry takes on a new chapter with a Thanksgiving Night showdown in Fort Wayne. It's the fourth of 11 meetings this season between the two teams, and the second of six in Fort Wayne. The Fuel have had two solid performances against Fort Wayne on opening weekend, the third meeting was the third game in three days. Fort Wayne had a strong start to the season, but has lost two of its last three, including a 3-1 defeat to Greenville in its last outing. Fort Wayne is the league's third-highest scoring team with 57 goals on the regular season. The Komets' Shawn Szydlowski is tied for 7th in the ECHL in scoring (6-11-17). Eric Faille is eighth in rookie scoring (6-8-14). Nathan Condon had a goal and three assists in last week's three games to lead the Komets. Paul Crowder and Mike Embach had a goal and an assist each. Goaltender Pat Nagle has had the majority of Fort Wayne's starts, including all three starts last week. He is 7-3-0 with a 2.47 GAA. Fort Wayne is the ECHL affiliate of the Colorado Avalanche and AHL Lake Erie Monsters. Fort Wayne has a couple of familiar faces — forward Mike Embach played for the Indiana Ice in 2006-07, and forward Brett Perlini started the season with the Fuel. These teams will meet again in a week – on Saturday, Dec. 6 in Indy.
Friday/Saturday: vs. Cincinnati Cyclones (6-4-2), 7:35 p.m. both nights, Fairgrounds Coliseum (Radio: WXNT-1430, TV: HTSN-6.2)
Season series: Fuel trail 0-1-0
Meetings so far: 11/7 at Cincy: CIN 3-1
This marks the first two of six meetings between the Fuel and Cyclones that will be played in Indy — and the second and third of nine meetings overall between the two I-74 neighbors. The teams met three weeks ago, with Cincinnati winning 3-1. Mike Duco and Kirill Gotovets had assists in that game, with former Fuel player Brett Perlini scoring Indy's goal. Josh Shalla, Bryan Froese and Stephan Vigier all scored for Cincinnati, which was backstopped by Rob Madore's 16-save effort. Mac Carruth had 21 saves for Indy in that game. Cincy snapped an 0-3-2 skid with two wins last weekend, blanking Evansville 4-0 and then beating Kalamazoo 7-3. In the two games, Shalla had three goals and an assist. Froese had a goal and four assists and Zach Budish had a goal and three assists. Both Froese and Budish had four-point games against Kalamazoo. Christian Minella had three goals and an assist in the two games, including two in the 4-0 win over Evansville, in which Madore had a 24-save shutout. Madore is 4-2-2 with a 2.95 GAA. Froese (5-10-15) leads the Cyclones in scoring. Shalla (8-3-11) leads the team in goals, and Budish (1-9-10) leads in assists. Cincy is 4th in the ECHL in shots against/game (26.0). Cincinnati has two NHL parent clubs — the Florida Panthers and Nashville Predators (and their AHL affiliates in San Antonio and Milwaukee, respectively). After this weekend, the teams will meet again Dec. 26-27, with both games again in Indy.
Looking ahead: The Fuel continue a five-game homestand with three games next week, on Wednesday 12/3 against Evansville, followed by home games on Friday 12/5 against Florida and Saturday 12/6 against Fort Wayne. After that, the Fuel will spend the following weekend in the Sunshine State playing Orlando and Florida.
Moves: Last week saw a flurry of activity on the Fuel roster. Mac Carruth was assigned to the Fuel for Wednesday's start against Orlando, then recalled to AHL Rockford. Sean Bonar was activated from IR. Jamie Wise was also activated from reserve. Brett Perlini was traded to Fort Wayne. Defenseman Nick Jones was recalled by AHL Worcester on Monday. ECHL teams are now allowed to carry 20 players on their active rosters after carrying 21 for the first month of the season.

Tribute to our Beautiful Mare, Haidas
This last year has brought a lot with it. Over last winter our beautiful mare was becoming very ill and would not eat and we came to find out that she tore her ACL and was suffering from chronic pain so much that she was slowly starving. With our vets advice we had to put her down. She was a big loss to us and her filly. We will Miss Haidas Smart Chick and the sweetheart that she was.Training HorsesWe picked up a few new horses this last spring and trained them and sold them. One of our horses was sold back to its Original owner from 18 years ago. What are the odds? It was a fun reunion for them.

Jojo sings with a children's choir, while Miguel drops by his old middle school.
Ahhh, to be a kid again.
Fifth graders in Staten Island's Public School 22 choir were in for a treat when singer Jojo dropped by to sing her heart wrenching ballad "Say Love." The stunning performance not only moved viewers and the kids involved, but the Tringle singer herself. After the performance, she said "I wanna do this every time. I wish they were on the road with me. Why can't we just get them all passports and why can't we travel the world together?"
Singer Miguel also recently sung for a group of kids, dropping by his old middle school in L.A. to perform two songs, including "Adorn." He wrote on Instagram, "visited my old middle school for this years talent show tonight. crazy, I always loved the smell of the auditorium and it was exactly how I remember it. Huge shout to all the students, parents, family friends and staff. Loved every moment." Watch the kids of Hawthorne, California's Dana Middle School scream their lungs out:

Concerns raised over Enva emissions
Enva says it strongly denies claims that emissions from its plant are harmful, stressing that it regularly carries out monitoring.
Senator John Whelan has accused the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of "colluding with the company in what is a cover-up of emitting in what are, in some instances, carcinogenic emissions into the atmosphere and waste water in the vicinity".
Under parliamentary privilege in the Seanad last Thursday, Whelan blamed "light touch" and "lax" regulation by the EPA, depicting an "Erin Brockovich scenario, where people are living in fear, living in silence".
Enva dismissed Whelan's allegations as "unfounded" while the Environmental Protection Agency said that the company has been "largely compliant" with its licence and insisted that there are no health risks to residents.
In a statement the EPA said is satisfied that the activities undertaken on the site "do not pose a risk to local residents, to health, or to the environment".
The emissions from the plant have been described by those in the area as gassy, oily or sewer like.
In response to the concerns raised, a statement from Enva said: "We regularly carry out monitoring at our Portlaoise site to ensure our staff are not exposed to levels of substances that would impact their health or the health of anyone living in the surrounding area. As part of our ongoing environmental management processes, Enva routinely uses international environmental consultants RPS to conduct additional monitoring and to assist us in dealing with any queries raised by the EPA".
However, many people living in the area say the smell is nauseating and have raised concerns. Michael Browne who worked with CIE for 11 years in Portlaoise, until 2009, described the smell as "absolutely disgusting".
"It was bad when I was up there. I don't know how I would describe it– it was nauseating. It used to give me a headache and you would get sick," he said.
"I used to keep a diary and would keep a record of the smell. It could be once or twice a week...My office was upstairs in a porta cabin and some days it was fairly bad," he said. Read more pages 6&7.

Next Monday, the U.S. Senate is expected to vote on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, S. 2311.
The bill bans abortion after 20 weeks. It is undeniable that unborn babies feel pain at this stage of life. Therefore, this bill simply protects babies from a gruesome and cruel act of barbarism.
Send your senators an email now urging them to nuke the filibuster and switch to a majority vote on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
President Trump is in support of this bill and has called on the Senate to end the legislative filibuster like they did when they voted to confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.
Unless Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senate leadership "nuke" the democratic filibuster, the bill is almost certain to die. Why?
Because most Republicans favor the filibuster rule that requires 60 votes to advance legislation for consideration and to end debate on legislation.
Under the filibuster rule, Democrats are able to stop most measures from ever being voted on even though they are in the minority. Although the filibuster rule is not in the Constitution, Democrats routinely use it block GOP sponsored legislation. No doubt, the Republican leadership in the Senate will blame the Democrats for blocking the measure.
While that is technically true, what the GOP leadership refuses to admit is that they have the votes to set aside the 60-vote rule in favor of a simple majority vote.
But here's how the political "swamp" works: Republican representatives get credit for voting in favor of pro-life legislation. Meanwhile, Republican senators blame their Democratic colleagues when the legislation finally fails. On election day, Republican candidates maintain the support of conservative voters without ever making progress to protect unborn babies. As far as we are aware, AFA is the only conservative group calling Republicans to "nuke" the 60-vote filibuster rule. Most conservative groups want to keep it, claiming it will be needed when the GOP loses the White House and the Senate. But former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) made it clear that, when Democrats are back in charge, they will nuke the filibuster and push their own agenda. Republican senators, under the leadership of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, now have the opportunity to set a new precedent for significant legislation.
A super majority of 60 votes should not be required to advance such legislation. Your U.S. senators need to schedule a vote on this pro-life bill soon.
Send them an email now urging them to nuke the filibuster and switch to a majority vote on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
