Four Pakistani students score big at international science fair
-AA
ISLAMABAD -Four young Pakistani students secured places at the world's largest pre-college science fair, Intel ISEF, held in the US last week.
Pakistan was represented by six students at the world's largest fair of its kind, including three from Pak-Turk Maarif International Schools, run in Pakistan by a Turkish foundation.
The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) is the world's largest international pre-college science competition and is held in Phoenix, Arizona featuring over 1,800 students from more than 80 countries, regions, and territories.
Sadaf Naushad, from the Pak-Turk Maarif school, was one of six Pakistani students who presented their science projects at the fair and won a special prize in the field of energy and also got a scholarship at Arizona state University with a cash prize for the grand prize.
Ahmed Zafar and Usaid Ahmed from Karachi and Mian Affan Anwar from Rawalpindi also won prizes and scholarships in the global competition.
"I'm very happy, My family, friends, and colleagues are very happy for my success being recognized there on such a big platform," Sadaf Naushad from Karachi's Pak-Turk Maarif School told Anadolu Agency. It's really a big achievement for my project," she added. Sadaf's award-winning project was a dual-purpose highway turbine. The turbine is a vertical axis wind turbine project that serves two purposes by utilizing the wind produced by a vehicle's movement along the highway as well as the natural wind.
Speeding vehicles on highways can provide enough wind to power the turbines 24 hours without stopping. The energy generated can be used for lighting along highways attached to the turbine and also extract water from underground for irrigation.
"The aims of the project is to reduce electricity consumption and generate electricity as a renewable resource to promote greenery near Pakistan's highways," Sadaf explained. Highway turbines have already been installed in Turkey, but Sadaf's innovation is to pump underground water for irrigation. Sadaf thanked Turkey's Maarif Foundation, her teachers, and school administration for their support, saying that Maarif always promote STEM education and encourages teachers and students to participate in competitions, unlike many other schools. Selahattin Batur, the Maarif Foundation's director in Pakistan, announced a special visit to Turkey for the students and teachers who took part in Intel ISEF.

THE YOUNG GODS Geneva / Fribourg Two Gentlemen/Play It Again Sam
The Young Gods have been pushing the limits of sound for more than thirty years. They began as pioneers of industrial punk who flirted with surreal cabaret, and as sonic wizards they moved on to shamanize electro/techno music, all the while forging their own unique sound. In the process they became legends of the European scene.
During the winter of 1984-85, Franz Treichler and Cesare Pizzi redefined the grammar of rock using rudimentary machines. They were inhabited by an uncompromising, raw and poetic vision. Joined by drummer Frank Bagnoud, they fine-tuned the formula of the Young Gods. Their first concerts were like electroshocks. They featured voice, drums and sampler… and walls of guitar sounds, but without guitars: their music was unheard of. When the first eponymous album appeared in 1987, the British press heralded the phenomenon: "The Young Gods are the New Thing, they are what happens next …" In the early 1990s, with Al Comet replacing Cesare Pizzi on samplers, the trio surfed the wave of alternative rock. The album "T.V. Sky", with its single "Skinflowers" rotating on MTV, opened the doors of the United States. David Bowie, U2 and Nine Inch Nails began citing them as inspirations. Things accelerated at a frantic pace. So much so that it all became too much. In the early 2000s, the trio regrouped in Geneva, redefined its priorities, and moved closer to the effervescent electro / techno scene. Bernard Trontin replaced Üse Hiestand on drums.
… Fast forward!
The Young Gods celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2005 at the Montreux Jazz Festival, with the Sinfonietta orchestra of Lausanne and the singer Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr Bungle, Fantômas). They also spearheaded a myriad of multidisciplinary creations, for Swiss Expo.02, for the Geneva Science Museum, with anthropologist Jeremy Narby for "Amazonia Ambient Project", or reinterpreting the legendary Woodstock concert of 1969… They also collaborated with alternative hip-hop group Dälek, with the trio of improvisers Koch, Schütz & Studer, and with the band Nação Zumbi for a Brazilian tour and another Montreux performance.
Unplug & replug
After releasing an acoustic album ("Knock on Wood", 2008), which they took on tour, the trio turned their machines back on and recorded the fiery "Everybody Knows" (2010), with the support of a fourth member, flesh-and-blood guitarist Vincent Hänni. Then they performed their first two albums on stage, "The Young Gods" and "L'Eau rouge", with Cesare Pizzi returning to his original place on samplers.
So what does the musical future of The Young Gods look like now? It started to take shape around Treichler, Pizzi and Trontin doing a public residence at the Cully Jazz Festival in 2015. Three years after, the 12th album of the band is ready. It was mixed in London by Alan Moulder. The release is planned for February 2019 and it will be followed by a European Tour in March and April and a subsequent World tour.

Participating in sports as a youngster is frequently promoted as a productive, pleasant, and socializing activity and is frequently supported by parents across the country. The same elements that form a loving environment and promote healthy personal growth could also facilitate sexually abusive behavior. Pedophiles are attracted to situations that put them in contact with possible victims, which is one of several reasons for sexual assault in youth sports.
It is critical to recognize that sexual abuse of children does not always entail touching or direct physical contact. Sexual exposure, nudity photos, crude sexual humor, failed sexual advances, intimidation, and threats are all examples of sexual abuse. Our attorneys at Sex Crime Attorney can assist you or your child if either of you has been a sexual abuse victim in youth sports. We serve the Los Angeles area. Below is a compilation of vital information that might shed more light on sexual abuse in youth sports.
Understanding Sexual Abuse in Youth Sports
Adult abusers may pursue males and females of every age in both the private and public competitive and recreational sports sectors. Abuse can happen "on-site" (for example, in the child's school) or "off-site" (like an independently sponsored sports event or training facility).
Abusers could take any form, but in most reported cases, they include:
The team's medical staff
Gym facility owners or supervisors
The abuser's ability to wield power, authority, and trust due to their official position only adds to the complexities of a victim's unwillingness to expose the abuse. The fact that many people attach the same characteristics to the offender at least for a time adds to the problem's pervasiveness.
Sexual Abuse Demographics
According to a survey commissioned by Lauren's Kids, a nonprofit organization that strives to enlighten parents and children about sexual violence, over one in four current or former young athletes surveyed admitted to being sexually abused or harassed by an individual in a powerful position on campus, compared to one in ten in the overall population.
According to the poll, athletes were about 2.5 times more likely to indicate they had experienced similar abuse, and the most commonly recognized abusers in the group were coaches.
Several media houses have highlighted different cases of youth sports sexual abuse. One such incident was in 2018 when Nassar, a former the United States Gymnastics Team doctor, was found guilty of sexually abusing his teenage patients. He was thus sentenced to between 40 to 175 years imprisonment.
A total of 156 girls and women spoke out during his trial about the assault they suffered while under their doctor's care. Most of those survivors described how the gym organization leaders ignored, dismissed, or hushed their abuse complaints. Nassar had been sexually abusing minors for about twenty-five years before getting caught.
How Youth Sports Sexual Abuse Occurs
"Groomers" and "grabbers" are the two types of juvenile sexual predators. Grooming is the most common form of sexual misbehavior, and it's easy to confuse it with harmless behavior. Protecting children from inappropriate boundary incursions is the best approach to safeguard them from sexual grooming and sexual misconduct.
In most cases, the sexual predators would follow the steps below:
Targeting the Victim
This entails getting a victim who:
Is a male or female with low self-esteem and emotionally needy
Has un-involved parents or comes from a single-parent home
Parental attitudes toward sex and prevention methods
Is a high performing-elite athlete dedicated and ready to make sacrifices to be on top
Is strongly devoted to the to coach and sport
Has low awareness of sexual assault or sex
Is passionate and hardworking in the sport
Comes from a dismissive family
Comes from a family that likes the trainer and are close with him
The predator will gather all the information he could get on the victim. These include:
Getting details about the athlete and his family, including the organization. He thus becomes a trusted person.
Driving the children to practice, giving them money or equipment whenever needed. He presents himself as a perfect father figure to the kids.
Being the child's cheerleader, he always commends his performance.
Both the families and the teammates need him.
Victim Isolation
Based on the trust built, the sex predator will use this newfound relationship with different individuals to isolate the victim. No one becomes suspicious as they all consent to this relation and view it as an innocent association. You might observe things like:
Driving alone with the child
Babysitting or offering private lessons
Sharing hotel rooms when out of town for sports
Going to movie nights, games, and other social activities together.
The predator claims a unique relationship where he appreciates the victim more than any other person, including his parents.
Beginning of Sexual Abuse and Secrecy
Having won the athlete's trust and emotional dependence, the predator now sexualizes their relationship by:
Sharing videos, pictures, sexting, or pornography
Creating opportunities for nudity like going swimming, popping in the locker rooms or hotel rooms.
Using stimulation and curiosity to make sexual advances
Now that the abuse is ongoing, the predator will use secrecy to retain the athlete's silence and participation. The athlete is in a state of dilemma, wondering how he got to this position, yet not sure of how he can disengage. The athlete:
Feels responsible
Thinks no one will believe him
Thinks of suicide or going to jail for this behavior
Fears that he'll be suspended from the team
Fear of ending the relationship due to the material and emotional needs he gets
Dreads the humiliation he might suffer by exposing the relationship and the subsequent isolation from others
The secrets and lies fostered create a false bond between the two.
Signs of Sexual Abuse in Children in Youth Sports
Several things could indicate that your child is no longer the same.
Behavioral Symptoms
Extreme apprehension about attending practices or tournaments, or a sudden desire to leave the sport
Symptoms of sadness, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder
Changed personal hygiene.
Academic or athletic performance changes
Sexual knowledge that is unsuitable for one's age
When it comes to physical contact, he tends to overreact.
Bleeding, bruises, or other bodily harm
Underwear that is bloody ripped or stained
Itchiness or burning, as well as other forms of pain and discomfort
Infections of the urinary tract or yeast infections, as well as sexually transmitted infections
Defending Children from Boundary Invasion
The steps below can help prevent inappropriate border invasions:
Educating administrators, volunteers and employees, and on the definitions of sexual grooming, unacceptable boundary incursions, and sexual abuse/molestation, as well as the behaviors that go along with them.
Prohibiting irregular boundary invasions expressly.
Making it mandatory that all workers and volunteers should report any unacceptable boundary invasions to management.
Punishing and disciplining offenders and every other person who does not report such incidents.
Preventing Child Predators from Participating in Youth Sports
Below is a compilation of things you can do as a parent to reduce the likelihood of your child being abused when playing in a youth sports team:
Please inquire with the sports organization's leadership about the steps taken to conduct background checks and validate all coaches and volunteer certification before allowing them to work with children or train a team.
If your kid is working with a personal trainer, ensure you join the sessions to observe all that is happening. You can also pop in randomly to check on their progress. Insist on holding all training in a public area with other people.
Prepare your child in advance with basic safety skills so that they might recognize how to react in different scenarios.
Make the value of not holding secrets clear to your youngster. This is a significant issue. If a trainer or volunteer asks your kid to conceal information, they may be grooming the child for subsequent sexual assault. Predators frequently begin with small secrets to assess whether the child would agree, then gradually and systematically progress to more serious activities that they wish to remain hidden.
Teach your child that it's acceptable to reject a proposal or stop an uncomfortable advance towards them. You thus empower them to maintain their safety by giving them the right to speak up for themselves against an adult.
Do not be alarmed if your youngster relates anything about the trainer or a volunteer that worries you; otherwise, the child may stop talking. In a non-threatening manner, ask the child for more details on the individual's circumstances. Inquire with your child whether other children are privately concerned about this individual. Investigate your issues and alert the leadership.
Trust your intuition instinct if you notice or suspect something about the trainer or even a volunteer that doesn't seem well with you. Many people ignore their gut instincts only to discover afterward that they had a reason to be concerned. Talk to the instructor or the volunteer to gauge if you can figure out what's making your Spidey senses tingle.
Other steps that parents can take to prevent or protect their children from sexual abuse include:
Talking to Your Child About their Body
What appears to be a straightforward directive for parents is what most parents find the most difficult to implement. A child's comprehension of acceptable behavior will decrease when you ignore that dialogue. The inevitable discomfort of discussing human sexuality with children increases the chance of a negative or confused initial exposure (e.g., explicit images shared by other children, pornography) and exacerbates misconceptions about appropriate and thoughtful sexual activity.
Therefore, parents and children should have a detailed dialogue about their bodies, what constitutes proper and improper contact, and how to speak out if uncomfortable. Finally, it's critical to provide a safe environment for youngsters. It occurs when youngsters are taught to be more self-aware of their bodies.
Coaches may assist avoid these types of crimes by going through preventative education and knowing what it takes to give children more body autonomy. Teaching acceptable interactions varies by culture and place, but it is critical to begin teaching children about their bodies early.
Taking an Active Role in Your Children's Programs and Continuing Your Education.
The growth of the #MeToo movement and the disclosure of scandals such as those at Michigan State University and the United States Swimming could make a parent hesitant to leave their children with other adults for extended periods. However, simply criticizing coaches and organizations isn't going to help the youngster or solve the problem.
Parents must know their child's coach and whether he understands the limitations of physical relationships with the age bracket he is in charge of, and whether all coaches participating are equally aware of appropriate and inappropriate behavior.
It is equally vital for parents to enlighten themselves on effective ways to protect their children and be open to community outreach programs. The situation is made worse by concealing the reality of sexual abuse from a youngster.
The 2017 Safe Sport Authorization Act mandated that Olympic regulatory agencies and amateur sports federations disclose sex-abuse claims to federal, state, or local child-welfare institutions or criminal enforcement recognized by the Justice Department immediately.
Be Cautious But Not Terrified.
Parents should consider issues of sexual assault in young athletes as a component of a bigger problem of sexual violence within society. While the possibility of a youngster being abused by a recreational trainer is terrible in theory, it is extremely unlikely in practice. When sports grow more intense, coaches spend much more time with the players, and children are afraid of losing their reputation or game time if they report misconduct, the danger increases.
Sexual abuse is more likely to be perpetrated by someone a survivor knows and trusts rather than a stranger. Long-term sex assault in sports is highly typical in cases like that of Olympic judo champ Kayla Harrison, who suffered assault from her coach for several years as a teenager.
Instead of fretting that a rogue adult may assault their child, parents should examine the repetitive concept of sexual violence — powerful organizations that hide perpetrators and cultures that discourage whistleblowers. Having healthy dialogues with youngsters regarding their bodies, no matter how uncomfortable it may be for the parents, is critical in helping them know proper sexual relations and protecting them from peers and superiors.
Sports Are Enjoyable Social Gatherings.
Sports provide a healthy social setting where children and teens may learn about complex issues like sexual violence.
Athletics' social element, whether as an individual or in a team setting, aids in the formation of positive ties between youths. As a result, a victim is more likely to acquire the confidence of a friend and feel more comfortable discussing an incident.
When sending a child out to participate in sports, you ought not to be concerned that they will be in danger. Educating children, and yourself, on reality and best practices is the most effective protection you can provide as a parent.
All parents desire that their children have a good time during their childhood days and hence, they support them whenever their sports team competes. This could be a lot of fun and a great way for parents and children to bond. However, parents must prioritize their children's safety and not presume that all organizations have conducted thorough background checks on their volunteers and coaches. Always extensively investigate an organization's references before letting your kid enroll!
When the Sex Predator is a Spectator or Parent
Many national organizations expect coaches to undergo background checks, including national registry screenings and sexual predator database checks at a minimum. Even though it is not mandated by law, some organizations recommend these screenings throughout their risk management composites.
When the sex predator is a spectator or parent, what becomes the best way of handling the situation?
You should talk to a sex crime attorney in your locality as the governing laws vary with the state. You need to ensure that the organization is keen on following its set bylaws and policies. It is easier for organizations to set requirements that necessitate the screening of volunteers than parents.
Generally, this makes sense since the volunteer is more likely to interact with the children more frequently than parents, hence a high likelihood for them to lure kids to the point of molestation.
Regardless of the need for screening, educating teams, parents, and volunteers on improper boundary invasions is more critical and helpful.
Reasons Why Organizations Cover Up Incidents of Sexual Abuse in Youth Sports
These incidents are often hidden because the offenders or those who enable the predators have a significant source of wealth or clout. Their high worth to the company translates to avarice, which, unfortunately, takes precedence over any moral commitment to the afflicted.
They routinely change jobs within the company, or their focus is dimmed to decrease the chance of being discovered. Silence then breeds into the organization's culture. Victims stop speaking because no one believes them. Witnesses fear repercussions, like losing their employment, if they speak up, so they remain indifferent.
Complaints concerning Larry Nassar, the Olympic gymnastics doctor, went unheard for years. Way before the news emerged in 2011, Joe Paterno, with others at Pennsylvania State University, were privy of Jerry Sandusky's alleged behavior. Football and iconic coach Joe Paterno, who had been with the team for 45 years, ruled supreme: the football program brought in a cumulative revenue of $70.2 million in 2010.
When Silence Is Not the Best Option
It's mostly about keeping the money and the brand alive, not so much about the afflicted. Ironically, these organizations hurt the individuals who are supposed to help the company develop. Sports organizations need athletes; churches require parishioners and Hollywood actresses. So there you have it.
Ultimately, it all boils down to an organization's strong word versus the victim's monotone voice. Who will trust a kid accusing their coach of anything or a superstar accusing a director of something? This results from the offender's grooming process and an organization's rule of silence.
Who Gets Charged and How Long It Takes for a Lawsuit to Be Filed
It's worth noting that sexual assault and molestation lawsuits can be filed decades following the incidences. This is because this kind of conduct has no statute of limitations.
For failing to screen, respond to a complaint, or establish policies and processes to prevent occurrences, the claimed abuser, the legal representative, and their corresponding officers and directors will all be sued. In the case of future lawsuits, firms need to have all General Liability coverage on hand perpetually. Furthermore, the law will call the previous government to account for their loss of control based on current standards rather than previous ones, significantly laxer.
Due to the delayed nature of sexual assault and molestation litigation, a claims-made policy under a General Liability coverage is inferior to an incident policy type.
With the ratification of the 2018 Safe Sport Authorization Act and the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse, sports groups can now be held legally responsible for their personnel's sexual misconduct. This federal legislation mandates that anyone employed in amateur sports clubs report sexual abuse complaints to enforcement agencies or service organizations 24 hours or face criminal prosecution.
Victims of sexual abuse are also entitled to a minimum of $150,000 in statutory damages under the Safe Sport Act. The law prolongs the statute of limitations for launching a lawsuit, acknowledging that many young sexual assault victims do not recognize they have been assaulted until they hit adulthood.

Of The Farm details the complex relationship between a son in his mid-thirties and his elderly mother. The son brings his new wife and her son from a previous marriage to his mother's remote farm, and it's obvious from the beginning that the mother and the wife are not going to get along.
Though a brief novel, Updike delivers an intricate and dramatic story peeling away the complicated layers that make up relationships. Throughout the book, the man is constantly on alert, hoping to defuse any arguments between the women in his life, but he refuses to stand up to his mother nor does he seem totally invested in being committed to his wife.
In fact, the man is an incredibly interesting character because he is so flawed, so monumentally incapable of mediating the warring women in a healthy manner, that he almost leaps off the page. Surely he'll remind you of someone you know … perhaps even yourself. The women were also expertly written, something that doesn't always happen with a male author. I found the mother and wife realistic, respectable, and equally as flawed as the main character.
Though lacking any real physical action, Updike's study of mothers and sons and husbands and wives is wickedly enticing and, as always, written very well.

This is a wonderfully brief yet exact description of Updike's excellent novella and the warring between true characters, all of whom hold one's interest–including the stepson, Richard, who must mediate at times when Joey does not.

Q: Removing wires / connectors on dishwasher circuit board I need to remove a circuit board to send for repair, but I'm not sure how to remove these wires? I notice there's two silver objects in two of the holes, not sure if they're clamps or fasteners. I'll use this photo as a means of where to reconnect them after removal. I'd really appreciate the help, it's a Whirlpool dishwasher board.

A: You don't remove single wires. The wires are located on the connectors. You do have to remove the plastic lock mechanism to access the connectors and then simply unplug them. Usually those connectors have grooves on them, as well the mating grooves on the PCB, so you can't mix the connectors.
The two silver objects are knives for cutting the wire isolation and establish the copper connection. Once you remove the wire, the connector become useless, you have to install new one, so don't attempt to pull the wires off.

HomeMLB Draft Preview: C Justin Morris
MLB Draft Preview: C Justin Morris
June 10, 2017 June 10, 2017 Michaela Johnson 2017 Draft Preview
Justin Morris – C
Ht: 6'2″ Wt: 215 Year: Jr. Bats/Throws: L/R
Hometown (HS): Edgewater, Md. (DeMatha Catholic HS)
G: 38 (31 GS) AB: 90 Slash Line: .211/.290/.389 HR: 5 RBI: 13 K-Rate: 26.9% BB-Rate: 9.6 %
Previously Drafted: 2015 – 35th Round, 1050th Overall – Arizona Diamondbacks
Background: Entering his freshman season with the Terps in 2015, Justin Morris was ranked the third best player in Maryland by Perfect Game USA. The Edgewater, Maryland, native started 27 games his freshman year between first base, catcher and DH, but struggled to hit, batting just .133. With the departure of Kevin Martir after the 2015 season, Morris secured his spot as a mainstay in the catching rotation as a sophomore, starting 34 games and throwing out 38 percent of runners from behind the plate. He improved his average to .194, but still struggled at the plate.

The following summer, in 2016, Morris demonstrated his offensive potential with the Ripken League's Bethesda Big Train. In 35 games, he hit .287 with 10 doubles, 25 RBIs and a league-leading four triples. Coming off a breakout summer season, Morris started the 2017 season as part of a three-man catching rotation with Danny Maynard and Nick Cieri. He again struggled to hit early in the season, earning much of his playing time due to the fact he was the best defensive catcher of the three. Late in the season, however, he solidified himself as the starting catcher, and with every day playing time, his bat came around. In 14 games after he was named starting catcher, he hit .267 with three homers and nine RBIs, including a .353 mark in five Big Ten Tournament contests.
After the 2017 regular season, Maryland hitting coach Rob Vaughn praised Morris's drive to compete and develop as a player.
"Justin has been unbelievable. He had a tough start to the year… but he kept working and when his number is called he's been unbelievable."
J-MO!! The catcher goes yard and we are tied!#DirtyTerps https://t.co/wzUKYwIslv

Outlook: Throughout his time in College Park, Morris established himself as a premier defensive catcher, both in his ability to limit the running game and block behind the plate, but for the most part could not find a consistent rhythm at the plate.

He seemed to figure things out at the dish late in his junior season though. The lefty-swinging Morris has always been pull happy, which can limit him, especially when he hits the ball on the ground, and his high strikeout rate can be worrisome. However, if he cuts down on the whiffs and hits the ball in the air more, as he did throughout postseason play, he can provide solid offensive punch.
For now, Morris's value relies more on his defense, but his timely hitting and power should not go unnoticed. His combination of solid blocking behind the plate, his ability to throw out base runners and his power from the left side is something that scouts will like to see from the catcher position. If teams look at the offensive spark he provided as an every day player late in the season, Morris will be a solid middle to late round pick in the upcoming draft.

Discussion in 'Rifles, Bullets, Barrels & Ballistics' started by schrades, Jul 18, 2004.
I recently purchased a couple boxes of 7mm Wby cartridges from Weatherby, and the boxes are labeled only Barnes X. Does anyone know if these are Barnes X, Barnes XLC, or Triple Shock?
Also, I've heard of accuracy issues with Barnes X bullets? Can anyone shed any light on this? Are they ill suited as target rounds but for hunting, where a 3-4 inch group at 200 yds is acceptable, they're OK? And finally, how many of these all copper rounds can I fire before I need to give my barrel a thorough cleaning.
I am sure that if these cartridges had XLC or TSX bullets it would be indicated on the box.
The XLC bullets are blue so they would be easy to identify. I'm not aware of Weatherby loading TSX bullets in factory ammo.
I've been working up loads for the Barnes 165 gr. X bullet in my .308 for an upcoming moose hunt this fall.
So far 44 grains of VarGet is producing consistent .45" groups at 100 yards. I'm not sure how much more I'll be able to tighten that up, but in my opinion, they're fantastic bullets.
Jeff, should be accurate enough for moose... is that a 165 x or a 168 tsx that you were talking about on the other post?
They were out of the Barnes 168 gr TSX bullets when I purchased them, so I decided to try the 165 Barnes X.
We're going to play with seating depth and couple of different powders on Sunday morning to see what we can come up with.
Basically, I have a load that exceeded my wildest expectations, but why were at it, were going to see just how tight we can get the groups.
Its good trigger time and lots of fun. We're also going to chronograph the loads out at 10' 100, 200 and 300 yards to see exactly what I'm working with. Once I have that done, I'll have enough data to plug into my RSI ballistic lab to see how they'll perform farther out.
Gota love a sport that can be so rewarding at times and frustrating at other times!
Keep me posted on your progress with the Barnes testing. I'm very curious as to the distance off of the lands setting you are using and what kind of loads you're using.
I'll keep you posted. Seating depth seems to be a major factor with those bullets.
One curious observation. Using VarGet, 44 grains on up is a compressed load. After loading the rounds, the pressure of the compressed load seems to push the bullet out a few thousands, so we are working around that also.
Once I have the complete load and all the details, I'll post the information and send you an email.
Bought a box of Barnes XBTs in hopes of doing some prep work for this season. Was warned that they were "finikie" but was supprised by what happened.
Accuracy was a bit off but pressures were high to the point of blowing primers with what has been pretty much a standard load for 140 gr Hornady/Sierra Game Kings etc.
Dropped powder and still blew a primer.
Did some measureing. Diameter fluctuated from < .277 to > than .277 and were way out of round.
Figure they would work well if I dropped velocity off a couple of hundres FPS but I'm not going to settle for that.
My buddy and I were able to get the Barnes 165 gr X-Bullets down to a consistent .340 group @ 100 yards. But we still have a bit more work to do on the velocity.
46 grains of VarGet gave a consistent .50" groups with the Barnes X bullets.
We couldn't get the 168 gr AMAX bullets to shoot any better than the mid .4's to .5's. I'm giving up on them and going to the Sierra 168 gr BTHP bullets.
Best group of today and my life. .153" group at 100 yards. It was one ragged hole. Overall average groups with this load are in the low to mid .2's.
That's it for this weekend. I'll let you know next weekend if we made any improvements.
Off topic a bit but curiosity got me. I looked and had 9 different boxes of X bullets here. Both coated and non coated. No TS though. From about 10 years or more ago to a box less than a year old.
Regardless of whether they shoot in all guns or not(have found a few rifles that don't like a certain type of X bullet- this is true) I wanted to measure them.
I don't doubt that bad bullets from anyone can get out though. But that measuring put me at ease figuring the box that Roy measured was a plain fluke.
Roy-- send em back and get a replacement. Never did that with Barnes but have had to do it with Sierra and Hornady. Works out fine. No one is perfect.

We really enjoyed this cabin and our time in blue ridge.. There was plenty of room for our family of 3, next time we'll bring more friends!
We had a wonderful time at Bear cabin. The place was great especially the deck with the hot tub!
Thanks Kevin - glad you had a nice time.
Fishing bear cabin was fantastic!
We're so glad you had a great time and we want to thank you for the wonderful review of our cabin. We would love to have you return if ever you choose to come back to the area.
Fishing Bear cabin was a relaxing time!
We had a great time in Blue Ridge and Fishing Bear cabin. Sometimes you just need a place to chill and that's what we did.
Our favorite place in the cabin was the downstairs area. It was the perfect spot to hang out and enjoy watching movies. It appeared to us that the downstairs area was a lot newer than the main floor. However, there was nothing wrong with the main floor. The shiplap and hardwood floors are beautiful!
I'm OCD about cleanliness and for once, I didn't spend the first few hours renting someone else's house, cleaning.
Downtown Blue Ridge is only a couple of minutes down the road, as well as Lake Blue Ridge. We really enjoyed taking the Shih Tzus downtown as they were welcome at most restaurants and some shops.
Thanks to Doug and Jeanne for allowing us to stay in your cabin! We hope to return soon!
Gosh Sheila, thanks for the super nice review. Our cleaners will be very happy with your remarks as are we! Yes, the downstairs was completely remodeled a few years ago following a burst water pipe. We'll be doing some work upstairs next - enclosing a bit of the deck to open up the living area and bigger kitchen area. We'd love to have you stay again so whenever you'd like to return, please keep us in mind.
My hubby & I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Coffee on the porch swing in the mornings & birds singing!
My hubby & I spent 5 wonderful nights/days at the bear cabin! It was amazing...the house is awesome!!! The views, the porches with swings & rockers my favorite spot to enjoy coffee! You almost don't have to leave the cabin with plenty of hiking right out the back door & an awesome hot tub to enjoy after a day of hiking is definitely a plus! I will definitely check out the bear cabin if staying in the area again!
Thanks Jennifer - so glad you enjoyed your stay and we'd love to have you back next time you're planning a mountain trip. We have a number of guests who book each year and have done so for many years so maybe you'll be one of them!
Thanks for taking the time to write about your stay and the nice review - greatly appreciate it.

This Weight Watchers Sugar Cookies recipe has been featured in a post on The Recipe Girl blog: How to Survive Valentine's Day on a Diet.
Yes, you can eat lightened up cookies on Valentine's Day when you're watching your calories. A little sweet treat will satisfy you when you're craving something really bad!
When you're watching your calories, it's nice to be able to enjoy a treat or two guilt-free. These cookies are a delicious option.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in a medium bowl. In a larger bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg white and vanilla, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the flour mixture and the sour cream alternately, beginning and ending with the flour mixture and beating just until blended. Shape the dough into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper (or spray with nonstick spray).
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to a thickness of 1/4-inch. Using a 2-inch cookie cutter (I used a heart, but you can use any shape), cut out the cookies re-rolling the scraps to make a total of 28 cookies. Place cookies 1-inch apart on baking sheets.
Bake until the cookies are very lightly browned at the edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack and cool completely.
Prepare the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, water and vanilla. Add coloring, if using. Use a spoon to drizzle icing over the cookies. Add decorative sugar, if desired.
I just made these cookies with my girls. Unfortunately they came out hard and dry. Has anyone tried substituting applesauce for the sour cream to increase the moisture in the cookies?
Do you think it would be possible to substitute the sour cream for vanilla yogurt?
I'm not quite sure about that… it always works in cakes, but not sure about cookies!

Forest Service Will Not Sell Wild Horses For Slaugther
Animal welfare organizations are declaring victory in their fight to keep the Forest Service from allowing the slaughter of wild horses. About 900 wild mustangs were gathered from the Devils Garden Plateau in Modoc County in November because they were overcrowded and trampling the other wildlife. Around 650 of them were given to the BLM to offer for adoption. The BLM has been doing the roundups for years, but it's not a familiar practice for the Forest Service. Many of the horses were adopted, but Front Range Equine Rescue and other groups feared that sales "without limitation" for a Dollar a horse would mean they'd be sold to interests that would export them to be slaughtered for human consumption. A federal lawsuit was filed and Thursday an attorney for the Forest Service said in court that the agency had changed its position and that no horses would be sent to slaughter. Many horses are still available for adoption, with information at 233-8738.

Seattle activist Dorli Rainey, 84, reacts after being hit with pepper spray during an Occupy Seattle protest on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at Westlake Park. The Occupy movement resulted from simmering anger at financial institutions and frustration with a growing economic gap in the U.S. On the night Rainey was sprayed, protesters gathered in the intersection of 5th Avenue and Pine Street and many refused to move from the intersection after being ordered by police. Police then began spraying pepper spray into the gathered crowd hitting dozens of people. Rainey was rushed from the scene and had a milky substance splashed on her face after the spray hit her.

'Fearless Girl' is on the move, and as usual, Charging Bull is making himself the center of attention. Like Trump, the mere thought of being upstaged by a little woman is way more than his fragile male ego can handle, and 'Fearless Girl' is running out of patience.
New York mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Thursday that 'Fearless Girl' will soon be moving to a spot facing the New York Stock Exchange. And even though theirs is a love/hate relationship the mayor would like Charging Bull to shut his whiny mouth and do what's best for the city by going with her.
After all, Charging Bull never bothered to get a permit when his owner, the artist Arturo Di Modica, dropped the 7,000-pound bronze bull into lower Manhattan in the dead of night and without permission.
Since 'Fearless Girl' arrived with permits and official papers -- after all, Charging Bull is an illegal -- 'Fearless', who played by the rules, should have the upper hand in my mind. Isn't that what Trumplandia says about illegals?
In an act of totally Trump, over-the-top ridiculousness, both egos -- the bull's and Modica's -- demanded that his illegal beast be turned around, so he didn't even have even to look at 'Fearless Girl'. Meanwhile, Modica's suing the city over his illegal bull's alleged mistreatment for goddess knows how many New York bucks.
Patriarchal, capitalist forces are clamping down on 'Fearless Girl', with her 'owners' State Street Global Advisors saying that Fearless cannot go worldwide, unless she flies the State Street banner. A New York federal judge issued a preliminary injunction this week, barring 'Fearless Girl's' birth mother and creator, artist Kristen Visbal, from duplicating her likeness in any way.
Simply stated, yet another female has become an unwilling advocate for big-money capitalism and the boys club. 'Fearless Girl's' debut on International Women's Day, March 8, 2017 inspired us beyond words. The small bronze goddess arrived in the dead of night, originally installed at Bowling Green in another legal battle with 'Charging Bull'.

Q: Localization with mysql/PHP I'm currently building a multilingual website using PHP and MySQL and am wondering what the best approach regarding localization is with regards to my data model. Each table contains fields that need to be translated (e.g. name, description....) in several languages.
The first idea was to create a field for each language (e.g. name_en, name_de, name_fr) and retrieve the appropriate field from PHP using a variable (e.g. $entry['name_' . LANGUAGE]). While it would work, this approach has in my opinion many drawbacks:
-you need as many occurrences of each field as you have languages (bearing in mind you can have en-US, en-CA, en-GB...)
-if you add or remove languages you need to modify the database structure accordingly
-if you have untranslated fields, they are still created for each entry which doesn't seem very optimized
The second idea is to create a translation table that can be used to store the translation of any field of any table in the database:

----------------
translation
----------------
id  INT
table_name VARCHAR
field_name VARCHAR
value VARCHAR
language_id VARCHAR

The table_name and field_name will allow identifying which table and which field the translation is about, while language_id will indicate which language that translation if for. The idea is to create models that would replace the value of the translatable fields (e.g. name, description) by their corresponding translation based on the language selected by the user.
Can you see drawbacks with this approach? Have you got suggestions to make?
Thanks.

A: The main drawback is that you destroy the relational model by storing metadata like table name and field name as application data. You queries would be too ugly and non-effective.
Another drawback is that you are limited only to one data type of the translatable data. Your table structure would define
value VARCHAR(255)

which means you would store data that would require smaller field always in VARCHAR(255). And if you like to have it even more universal to store also large text you need to define it
value TEXT

which is even worse.
The popular model is the following. For every entity you define the fields which are not language dependent and those which are language dependent and create always 2 tables. For example:
products
--------
id
price
status
picture

products_translations
--------
product_id
language_id
name VARCHAR(100)
description TEXT

This is the proper relational approach. Of course, it also has drawbacks major one being that you would always join 2 table to fetch items and adding/updating of data becomes a bit more complex.

A: Not sure if this answer will satisfy you, but I discern between two types of texts:

*

*static

*dynamic

Static text is provided by yourself for general application text that users have no influence on. Stuff like form input labels and introductory text. I use gettext for those, so I can send it off to professional translators, if i need it translated.
Dynamic text is text provided by the user of the application, which seems to be what you're talking about. Personally, I discern dynamic text into 2 different types as well.

*

*generally applicable

*specific

An example of the general type would be options inside of HTML select elements, or a tagging system. They're not specific to a single content element, but (can) apply to multiple ones.
Examples for a specific text would be the actual content inside of a CMS like an article, or a product description in an online shop.
For the first one I use a kind of central lookup table with a hash of the actual, original text as the index, which i refer to as a foreign key in tables where i use that string. Then you look up that hash in the central table to echo the real text behind it (of course, you ought to use some sort of caching here).
For the latter one I use a classic content table with columns for every content area specific to that logical content unit and a row for each language.
Thus far it's working out pretty well.
