U.S. military veterans honored each November.
November 11 is Veterans Day in the United States, and parades, ceremonies and tributes to veterans and their families are planned throughout the country to honor those who have served, and are currently serving, in the U.S. military.
“Our veterans represent the very best of America. They have bravely answered the call to serve in the finest military force in the world, and they have earned the dignity that comes with wearing the uniform and defending our great flag. On Veterans Day, we honor all Americans who have served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard, both in times of war and peace. For nearly 100 years, since the end of World War I, Veterans Day has given us a time to pay due respect to our veterans, who have passed the torch of liberty from one generation to the next,” President Donald J. Trump wrote in a proclamation in November 2017.
The memorial amphitheater built around the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery, just outside Washington, remains the focal point for national Veterans Day ceremonies. The traditions are firmly established: A combined color guard representing all military services executes “present arms” at the tomb, the president lays a wreath, and a bugler plays “Taps,” the haunting bugle call used at U.S. military funerals.
The earlier, more narrowly focused Armistice Day commemorated the end of fighting in World War I under the armistice implemented at 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918—the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the first Armistice Day a year later.
In 1938, the U.S. Congress designated Armistice Day a legal holiday, dedicated to the cause of world peace. But Wilson’s hope that World War I would be the “war to end war” collapsed with the outbreak of new fighting in Europe. The United States entered World War II in 1941.
Seeking to pay tribute to the 16 million Americans who fought in World War II (including 407,000 who died) and others who served the nation in any of its wars, Congress and President Dwight Eisenhower in 1954 redesignated the November 11 holiday “Veterans Day.” “Let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain,” Eisenhower wrote in his first Veterans Day proclamation.
In 2004, aging but proud veterans attended the dedication of the National World War II Memorial on Washington’s National Mall, between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. The Korean War is commemorated with a memorial nearby, comprising 19 statues representing a squad on patrol. More than 54,000 U.S. soldiers died in the three-year conflict.
Dedicated in 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial—also on the National Mall, near the Lincoln Memorial—features two polished black granite walls inscribed with the names of more than 58,000 U.S. service members killed or unaccounted for in the Vietnam War.
In 1993, the Vietnam Women’s Memorial was dedicated. It is located a few yards from the main Vietnam Veterans Memorial and depicts three women, including one who is caring for a soldier. Nearly 2.6 million men and 7,500 women served in Vietnam; more than 83 percent of the women were nurses.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 18.2 million military veterans in the United States in 2017.

With Black Canary and the "Old Timer" thrown in for good measure. From 2001.
You gotta love that name. Inks by Joe Rubinstein.
Drawn for the "Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe", way back in the early '80's. Inks by Joe Rubinstein.
Head sketches from 1984 and 1985. Please ignore the Jheri curls.
I just noticed something about panel two. The director has a lens around his neck -- something that Jan Strnad asked for in his script -- but he also has a long, skinny object hanging next to the lens... something I threw in spontaneously, then forgot about. It made me laugh more than two decades after I drew it. Anyone care to guess what it's supposed to be?
I drew this a few years ago for Todd Dezago and Craig Rousseau's book. Craig did the colors.
I believe this was the first page I inked on this book. Gil's drawings were so solid, I didn't have to do much more than just trace the lines with a pen... until DC saw it and said that they didn't want me to ink it like Gil, they wanted me to ink it like me. So I added the big shadow on the side of the close-up and that seemed to appease them.
Mike Mignola's thumbnail sketch & notes, followed by my sketches, pencils & inks, then Dave Stewart's colors.
This is as close as I ever got to doing a story with these characters. As you can see, he was a very mopey fellow. I think this was drawn around 1987.
Dave Gibbons' pencils and my inks. I'm not sure exactly how this works but I believe that one side will appear on the Authority cover and the other side will be on WildC.A.T.S.
Whoever the colorist is, he or she or they did a beautiful job. This can't have been an easy piece to color.
Labels: Authority, cover art, Dave Gibbons, inking, pencil scans, WildC.A.T.S.
It looks like this was drawn for a previous Grimwood collection that never came together.
Sorry about the rerun yesterday. I was in a hurry and didn't check to see if that page had appeared here before. Here's a piece I hope no one has seen; a pencil prelim from the mid-eighties with a very leggy Supergirl.
Page 22: finishes over Jeff Parker's layout. The FBI headquarters is a stat.
Judging from the notebook I found this in, I think this was drawn around 1986.

In late November, Donald Trump’s inaugural committee started selling “exclusive access” to the president-elect and his team “in exchange for donations of $1 million and more.” Apparently, some folks took advantage of the opportunity.
President Trump raised twice as much money for his inauguration festivities as any previous president-elect in history, pulling in tens of millions of dollars from wealthy donors and large corporations eager to woo the nation’s new chief executive in the days after his unexpected victory.
Disclosures filed with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday showed the contributions from corporate executives, lobbyists and businesses, as well as small donors, totaled $107 million. The previous record was held by President Barack Obama, who raised $53 million for his 2009 inauguration.
When we talk about Team Trump’s transparency troubles, the problem isn’t limited to tax returns and White House visitor logs.
As for the inaugural committee, as we discussed in January, Trump’s allies generally respond to reports like these by arguing that every modern president, from both parties, has raised millions through his inaugural committee. There’s quite a bit of truth to that.
George W. Bush and Barack Obama, for example, put caps on individual contributions. Team Trump eliminated those caps. Donors were rewarded nicely for their generosity, with perks that included meals with Trump, cabinet nominees, and congressional leaders.
Can’t you hear the swamp being drained?

Geez Dan, you just posted what may by *the*most controversial findings ever published on the topic of intravesical therapy.
I asked our advisors about this report when it first appeared last November?, and the replies were (paraphrased) "it's not true that survival rates are going down" and "this is a very prejudicial report done on one small cohort."
What also strikes me is the low number of tx's administered, .53 and 1.2? I know so many folks who get dozens of treatments, and are alive and well many many years later. On the other hand we've seen too many Ta high grade tumors invade, with disastrous results, as well as the occasional low grade tumor that morphs into something more sinister.
I don't know what to make of this...it's very scary. That is why my sister still goes for cystos 8+ yrs post diagnosis of her Ta,G1 tumor (3cm, recur was 4cm).
I think it's good to draw a line under these statistics for people and the survival advantage of an early cystectomy was THE main factor for me when I went for mine last October. There were other considerations but it was the one I kept going back to. I still think you should do the thing you feel most comfortable with so long as you have all the facts at your disposal. I also think these statistics highlight the fact that even with a cystectomy at an early stage things don't always work out. My consultant here in the UK certainly favours the early surgical approach and he's done well by me.
I normally post this stuff on the email discussion group, but since it applies to some of us who have/had T1..., thought I'd post it here.
BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - According to the British Journal of Urology in a recent article by Lambert and collaborators the increased use of intravesical treatments for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is associated with worse survival in patients with T1 disease despite cystectomy for disease progression or persistent disease after intravesical therapy.
The researchers used the Urologic Oncology database at Columbia University. Out of 505 total patients who underwent a radical cystectomy from 1990-present 104 had initial T1 disease. The authors divided the group into two time periods: before1998 (early) and after 1998 (late). The mean number of intravesical treatments per patient increased from 0.53 to 1.2 in the early and late groups, respectively (p=0.016). 28 of 38 (74%) patients in the early group and 20 of 47(43%) patients in the late group underwent cystectomy without any intravesical therapy (p=0.004).
The disease-free survival for patients who had a radical cystectomy in the early vs. late group at 5 years was 70% and 40%, respectively. Additionally, the early group had a worse overall and cancer specific survival than the late group. The survival curves were statistically controlled for confounders including date of surgery, age, and gender.
The authors hypothesize that prolonged use of intravesical therapy to preserve bladder function may forestall definitive therapy and result in potentially preventable deaths. They recommend early cystectomy in those patients who have initial high risk tumor characteristics or who have early failure to intravesical therapy.

← BJS non-functioning for the past day or so.
In our upcoming Voter’s Assembly (2-27-11), we will have a rare opportunity to respond to the actions of the 2010 National LCMS Convention, which passed two resolutions to amend the Constitution of the LCMS. In order to become effective, amendments must receive a favorable two-thirds majority of all votes cast by congregations within six months of the date of the mailing of the ballots (March 15, 2011). Please read carefully this summary of the two resolutions followed by my rationale and recommendation for our congregational vote.
Resolution 8-10, amended articles X and XI by changing the title of “Vice-President-Finance—Treasurer” to “Chief Financial Officer” and made this an appointed position.
The Treasurer would no longer be an officer of the Synod and a member of the Board of Directors.
I believe that this amendment was a small part of a larger scheme of the previous administration designed to move power away from the congregations/convention to the Office of the President. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Resolution 9-27 added a new Article XIV to the Constitution to clarify the relationship between the Bylaws and the Constitution. The Synod in convention may adopt bylaws that are consistent with and do not contradict the Constitution of the Synod, which controls and supersedes such bylaws and all other rules and regulations of the Synod. Bylaws, which may be adopted, revised, or eliminated by a simple majority vote of a national convention, are binding regulations for the Synod and its conduct and governance.
These “binding regulations” threaten to effect members of Synod (congregations, Pastors, Teachers, Deacons, Parish Assistants, etc.) in a manner that seems to speak against the time-honored wording of Article VII: “In the relation to its members the Synod is not an ecclesiastical government exercising legislative or coercive power, and with respect to the individual congregation’s right of self-government it is but an advisory body.
By the way, ironically, our newly elected President, Rev. Matthew C. Harrison, was OPPOSED to these massive structural changes and transfers of power. We would honor and support his ministry by DEFEATING these two proposed amendments. Please feel free to bring up any questions or concerns for further clarification that you might need before February 27.
For clarification, 8-10 does not make the position of Treasurer an appointed position. 8-08A did this. 8-10 changes the wording of the constitution with regard to the position.
Premise: The Synod is currently facing significant financial difficulties.
Premise: The Board of Directors is responsible for the financial dealings of the Synod.
Premise: No governing board should be without direct, unfiltered access to information regarding the financial health of the institution to which they have fiduciary responsibility.
Premise: If the Treasurer (or CFO, as the name has been changed to according to the By-Laws) is not an advisory member of the Board of Directors, then the Board must create the position of and hire a full-time Auditor to provide up-to-date, independent information regarding the financial state of the Synod.
Premise: The entire purpose of the Floor Committee 8 restructuring proposals was to reduce personnel and eliminate redundant staffing.
Inference: While the amendments to Article X may be innocuous enough, the amendments to Article XI run counter to the purpose of Synodical Restructuring, good business practice, and common sense.
Conclusion: The amendments proposed by Resolution 8-10 should be defeated by the congregations.
Brian Yamabe :For clarification, 8-10 does not make the position of Treasurer an appointed position. 8-08A did this. 8-10 changes the wording of the constitution with regard to the position.
Constitutional Amendment A (submitted to the congregations based on Resolution 8-10) changes the name and makes it an appointed position by deleting all mention of Vice President-Finance-Treasurer and his rights and duties from Articles X and XI of the constitution, also removing him from the synodical Board of Directors. 8-08A cannot be implemented if this amendment is not passed.
From speaking with a delegate: 8-08a does not change if this does not pass. This is just to coordinate the language. If it doesn’t pass, 8-08a continues with inconsistent language.
I would suggest that several resolutions from the 2004 LCMS convention be revisited as the district submitted overtures for repeal were not allowed to come to the floor for synod consideration by President Kieschnick or the floor committees he appointed. Specifically I think we should look at 2004 3-08a and 8-01a but not only those. Start getting those ready to resubmit through district convention to synod.
Where is that documented? How is a bylaw able to trump the constitution (if the constitution remains unchanged)?
I asked the secretary of our synod a question about Amendment A. Besides renaming the position of Treasurer, it also changes the position from one that is an officer and member of the board of directors to a servant of the board of directors. However, this amendment does NOT change how the position is filled. That was already changed by the convention. SO, if the amendment does not pass, the Treasurer will still be appointed by the board of directors, but will also sit ON the board of directors.
Also, the other amendment only ratifies and makes clear how the synod has already acted and treated the constitution and by-laws for many, many years, and I doubt that will change if the amendment doesn’t pass.
Resolution 8-27 (Amendment B) is a horrible resolution and must be soundly defeated!
3. So, the concerns expressed in Resolution 8-27 (Amendment B) are already taken care of in the Bylaws. There is no need to change the Constitution.
4. But more than that, there is a very good reason to VOTE AGAINST the proposed Res. 8-27 change to the Constitution.
5. If 8-27 passes, the Constitution will then specify that “the Synod in convention may adopt bylaws.” Furthermore, such bylaws are binding on the Synod, which would also prevent the BOD from changing them according to the existing Bylaw 7.1.2 which is still in force.
6. If Res. 8-27 is passed by a 2/3 vote of the congregations, the Constitution would recognize only the synod in convention as the specified entity to adopt, revise, or eliminate bylaws by a simple majority vote. Thus the BOD could not implement Bylaw 7.1.2 to revise and correct bylaw changes if 8-10 is not passed or change/revise any other bylaw covered under Res. 8-12A. Because the “Constitution trumps the Bylaws” (per 8-27), the approved, but conflicting bylaws (such as Res. 8-39) must be changed to agree with the constitution, but by whom? The BOD can’t, according to the constitutional change from 8-27 (Amendment B). According to Res. 8-27, the Constitution authorizes only the Synod in convention to adopt, revise, or eliminate bylaws.
7. Claiming that Res. 8-10 must be passed so that Res. 8-27 doesn’t cause a constitutional problem is no way to run a Synod! It’s more than sloppiness. It’s plain ol’ fouled up beyond all recognition (FUBAR)!
8. On top of all that, who would determine whether a (proposed or adopted) bylaw is consistent with and does not contradict the Constitution of the Synod?!? It’s the entirely-appointed organization, the CCM, who, under 7.1.1 (c), were supposed to make sure such contradictory resolutions, like 8-27, never got to the floor.
9. The approval of Res. 8-27 would only reinforce the power of the CCM to remove any bylaw they opined as being in conflict with the Constitution. And once the CCM issues its opinion, it would take a 2/3 vote of both the synodical convention AND the congregations to change the Constitution to override the CCM’s opinion. And any overtures or motion by delegates to rein in the CCM would never make it to the floor. We don’t need to give the CCM added encouragement to abuse such power.
10. It’s time we loudly smack down such crappy resolutions as 8-27, which was embarrassingly approved by convention delegates. Shame on the delegates who approved of these resolutions!
Resolution 8-10A (Amendment A) should also be defeated.
1. President Harrison and his administration will have enough headaches dealing with financial and other issues of the Synod such as the complications caused by a badly designed 8-08A restructuring resolution. Congregations should vote down Res. 8-10 until it is clearly demonstrated (maybe in three years) that such a change from a Vice-President-Finance-Treasurer to a CFO would be beneficial and compatible with the restructuring efforts that, by then, will have been developed more fully by the Harrison adminstration.
2. By defeating Res. 8-10 the constitutional position of a Vice-President-Finance-Treasurer would still exist and the responsibilities of that position would still be specified in the Constitution.
3. As an example of the poor quality and coordination in the BRTFSSG resolutions, if Res. 8-10A is not passed, the bylaws changed by Res. 8-39 (on a vote of 576 – 534; only 51.9 percent!) would describe the duties of a “Chief Financial Officer,” a position that would not exist.
4. If Res. 8-10A is not passed the BOD will need to implement Bylaw 7.1.2 as they were given authority to do in Res. 8-12A, in order to bring the bylaws mistakenly changed in Res. 8-39 to now reference the position title and responsibilities in agreement with those stated in the Constitution.
Vote NO on the Res. 8-10 constitutional change!
If we are facing significant financial difficulties and the board of directors are responsible for the financial dealings of the Synod, they why did they allow the spending of a million plus on the cost of a convention last summer?
Why did the BOD (if they really have any control) allow the wasteful hiring of non Lutheran “consultants” to tear up the fabric of synod?
Why do our synod and district meetings hire non Lutherans to talk of things that do not help us to be Lutheran Christians when we have enough “in house” talent to cover any topic worth meeting about?
What is it? Those who can, pastor a congregation; those who can’t, get themselves elected to something (and hire their incompetent friends)?
Those who have read the recent Reporter will know that the board has already APPOINTED their new CFO and replaced the treasurer. When I wrote a letter to the editor of that publication to ask about that I discovered that the days of an elected treasurer are already over even if your congregations, like mine, object to what is being done. This can only be solved at the next Synodical convention (or by the Board of Directors who are free to change the By-laws when it suits their desires).
The 2010 LCMS convention adopted two resolutions related to the Office of Vice-President–Finance—Treasurer of the Synod. One advocated changes to the Synod’s Constitution (Res. 8-10), such changes requiring ratification by the congregations of the Synod before becoming effective, and the other adopted changes to the Synod’s Bylaws (Res. 8-39), changes that took effect immediately upon adoption of the resolution.
It was the latter resolution (Res. 8-39) that changed the Vice-President–Finance—Treasurer position from a convention-elected position to a position filled by appointment by the Board of Directors. Since it addressed only bylaw changes, the resolution and its accompanying bylaw changes became effective immediately upon the resolution’s adoption. Accordingly, whether or not the congregations of the Synod ratify the constitutional changes advocated by Res. 8-10 will have no bearing on the board’s appointment of Mr. Jerald Wulf as the Treasurer of the Synod.
Res. 8-10, on the other hand, advocated constitutional changes that remove reference to the Vice-President–Finance—Treasurer from the specific listing of officers of the Synod in Constitution Art. X and remove the paragraph outlining the duties of the Vice-President–Finance—Treasure from Article XI. If these changes are not ratified by the congregations of the Synod, the Vice-President–Finance—Treasurer (called the Chief Financial Officer in the Bylaws) will continue to be listed as an officer of the Synod under Article X of the Constitution, and his primary duties will continue to be listed in paragraph E under Article XI.
Thank you for your question and this opportunity to help clarify the decisions of the convention regarding the office of Vice-President–Finance—Treasurer/Chief Financial Officer and the consequences of the vote of the congregations on the constitutional amendments.
This was previously noted in #10Para. 2.
What is not mentioned in Hartwig’s letter is that if 8-10 fails (as it should!) then the job description of CFO in Bylaws 3.4.1–3.4.1.4 will be for a job that simply doesn’t exist, or one that is redundant with that of the Vice-President-Finance-Treasurer.
However, if Res. 8-27 is approved by 2/3 of the congregations, the BOD will not be able implement Res. 8-12A, according to Bylaw 7.1.2, to change Bylaws 3.4.1–3.4.1.4 to agree in title and responsibilities with Articles X and XI, because the approved Article XIV forbids bylaws that conflict with the Constitution. In this case, Bylaw 7.1.2 conflicts with approved Article XIV itself, which specifies only that the Synod in convention may adopt, revise, or eliminate Bylaws.
Of course, the CCM could simply issue an opinion, along with “pigs can fly,” that there is no conflict between Bylaw 7.1.2 and Art. XIV, thus avoiding the conclusion that, according to the Bylaw 7.1.1 (c), the CCM did not do its job.
The 2010 Synod Handbook is already written with a “what-if” section dependent on how the congregations vote.
It is disturbing that the CCM would be so arrogant as to put the text that has NOT been constitutionally approved into the Constitution and put the currently valid constitutional text as a footnote.
Furthermore, if 8-10 fails and 8-27 passes, the BOD will not be able to revise the existing relevant bylaws because Bylaw 7.1.2 now is inconsistent with and contradicts Art. XIV.

Studies have confirmed the advantages inherent in monitoring blood pressure at home. This way, you are not only saved the inconvenience of frequent visits to the clinic but you also remain aware of the health condition. So, having a high-quality and feature-rich BP machine by your side becomes important to lead a healthy life. This machine allows to get readings and gauge the exact heart rates and beats to assess your cardiac health without consulting a medic.
More importantly, testing your blood pressure at home is necessary for anyone diagnosed with hypertension as elements of risks are higher in such cases. This arrangement is also needed where people require close monitoring for being with risk factors for hypertension. Home testing is an absolute must when facing conditions related to high blood pressure. After all, prevention is always better than the cure.
Furthermore, having a BP monitor helps a lot in cases where someone is prone to experiencing pregnancy-induced hypertension. Regular checking at home becomes even more important for readings that vary at home and at the clinic. So, make sure you check your blood pressure on time and remain informed about your heart health.
It’s good that you have decided to get yourself a monitor to check the blood pressure at home. However, before doing that, you need to have a quality device which is not possible unless you are aware of the features to expect.

As the business grows and people are hired, the owner can easily hand over some of the less vital roles but often maintains the lead in performing both sales and operations. While the owner may carry this responsibility because they feel they are the only one who can handle it, what they are really doing is stalling their company and themselves. As a Business Development Advisor at Violand Management, I can tell you first hand from working with so many small business restoration and cleaning companies, very few people have the personality and skill set to exceed in both sales and operations. Steve Wozniak is a genius at designing new computer systems. He needed Steve Jobs to sell them. Pierre Omidyar built a code for an online action website he wanted to call Auction Web. He needed Jeffrey Skoll to turn that into EBay.
Just as your business cannot be all things to all people, you cannot be all things to your business. Here is some free advice: if you are overseeing and performing both the sales and operations, pick the one you are best at and enjoy the most. Then hire someone better than you to handle the other. Both sides of your business will see growth and you will be much happier at work. And don’t get me started on operations people trying to run human resources….

PepsiCo Inc., the maker of Mountain Dew and Cheetos, now generates 45 percent of its revenue from so-called guilt-free products, which include lower-calorie drinks and items with grains, fruits and vegetables. But investors are looking to the company to turn its healthier portfolio into bigger growth.
PepsiCo Inc., the maker of Mountain Dew and Cheetos, is under more pressure to shape up.
The food giant now generates 45 percent of its revenue from so-called guilt-free products, which include lower-calorie drinks and items with grains, fruits and vegetables. But with some overseas economies slowing — and currency fluctuations weighing on international sales — investors are looking to the company to turn its healthier portfolio into bigger growth.
But the company delivered a disappointing forecast Wednesday, saying earnings would come in at $5.09 a share this year. Analyst had predicted $5.15. CEO Indra Nooyi also warned of “continued macroeconomic challenges” ahead.
With customers attempting to eat healthier — especially in North America — the company is scrambling to release new and revamped products. That effort has helped PepsiCo cope with an industrywide slump in sugary beverages. Per-capita soda consumption fell to a three-decade low in 2015, according to Beverage Digest, a trade publication. The shift has put more emphasis on products like Sabra hummus and Naked juices.
The move helped PepsiCo post earnings of $1.20 a share in the fourth quarter, excluding some items, topping the $1.16 estimated by analysts. Sales gained 5 percent to $19.5 billion in the period, matching estimates.
But Nooyi is looking to take the health kick further in the future. In October, the company pledged to reduce its reliance on sugar, salt and saturated fat. At least two-thirds of the company’s volume will have no more than 100 calories from added sugars per 12-ounce serving by 2025.
Announcing a partnership in October 2015 with BarFresh Food Group Inc., a smoothie maker.
PepsiCo and beverage rivals Coca-Cola Co. and Dr Pepper Snapple Group have all vowed to get customers to consume less sugar. The American Beverage Association, a trade group that represents the three companies, announced a pledge in 2014 to lessen per capita calories from drinks by 20 percent by 2025. But the work has gotten off to a slow start. Caloric intake from beverages only dropped 0.2 percent in 2015.
PepsiCo also hasn’t figured out how to reinvigorate its flagship diet soda. It removed aspartame from Diet Pepsi in August 2015 after the ingredient gained a bad reputation with consumers. But after sales sputtered, it rereleased an aspartame-sweetened version less than a year later. Now the company has three diet offerings: Diet Pepsi, Diet Pepsi Classic Sweetener Blend and Pepsi Zero Sugar.
The company’s bottom line also has been helped by Nooyi’s cost-cutting push, which has cut about $1 billion a year since 2012.
PepsiCo is pursing a “virtuous cycle of productivity leading to investment leading to growth,” Johnston said.

These sacred songs are only to be used in Native American Lakota ceremonies, or practicing for those ceremonies. These songs must never be used in any non-Lakota ceremonies - including new-age ceremonies, gatherings or festivals. They must never be used by anyone claiming to be a 'shaman' and the only instrument used with these songs is the hand drum. The only person permitted to conduct sacred ceremony with these songs, is a Lakota medicine man/woman, holy man/woman, heyoka or a pipe carrier and speaker of the traditional Lakota language. Anyone, other than the people just described, that perform any version of a native american sacred ceremony is putting themselves and the participants in grave spiritual danger. Also, these sacred ceremonies must never be mixed with peyote, or any other mind altering substance. Those are the ways of new-age plastic shamans. Learn these 'Lyrics & Helpful Tips' - they will help you get a sense of the pronunciation of the words and how the song is drummed.
You may have noticed most songs ending with "yoi (yo)" When you wish to repeat the song again, sing "yoi". When you wish to finish the song, sing "Yo".
Usually the lead singer cues the others to continue or end the song.
The drum beat you hear with the song is the proper beat or that song. If there is no drum beat, do not drum to that song.

Discussion in 'Microphones (live or studio)' started by downflow, May 1, 2003.
I have read a lot of your posts on here as well as many others'. I have read how you feel about "prosumer" gear being 80% as good as pro, therefore good enough for "demo quality". I have also read your opinion on spending the money where it makes the most difference. My question to you is two-pronged: What is the least amount of gear *you* would *need* to record a four piece rock group, and the end product still sound pro enough for you to be proud of it? Also, what would change if anything, if I had said radio quality (keeping up with the Jones') instead of pro? Let's say someone else is mastering it, and the musicians are above average.
I will approximate what I feel would be good as you didn't specify what instruments were in the "4 piece rock band" you are asking about. Not knowing what the drum kit is like , I will assume it has 2 rack toms and a floor tom.. So I would say a nice dynamic mic for the kick like a Shure 52, a EV RE 20, an AKG D112 or D12, or the ATM 25, SM57 on the snare, 57s or Sennheiser 421's on the rack toms. On the floor tom the 57, 421 or a D112 is nice. A good pair of overheads, like AKG 460's or 451's and another pencil condenser for the hat like a 451 or a 460. Shure SM 81's are nice too but many say the sound too "brassy".. it's all in what your preferences are. In terms of the overheads, there are many choices, Studio Projects and Rode make nice mics too as does ADK etc... just too many to mention them all. For guitar amps SM57’s are a standard.. 421’s too. Bass is usually recorded through a direct box as well as with a 421, RE 20 D112, D12 .etc.. Vocal mics can be as simple as an SM57, a SM7A or as expensive as a Manley Gold, a Lawson, Neumann AKG C12, it all depends on the voice. No one vocal mic suits all singers.
Now comes the expensive part.. mic pres, eq’s and compressors. You just can’t spend enough on these puppies in my opinion.. The Sebatrons are an excellent value, JLM is making some good pres for a decent price also. I am waiting to get a Presonus Digimax to check out, but in the past I have spoke with people who didn’t feel they were up to snuff … I need to hear them myself before I discount them however. But they do seem to be a bit too inexpensive to be of serious consideration. I could be wrong. Kevin M is trying to hook me up with some so I can check them out. I don’t recommend any of the cheap compressors. Manley, Summit. United Audio all make great comps. Sebatron is making comps also but I haven’t had one here yet. I should be getting a “Thorax” channel strip from them soon and I will let you know what I think ASAP. With comps the more expensive, the better. You should probably have enough channels of compressors to use on vocals, guitars and bass. If you are working in DAW you will probably need compressors for the kick and snare drums also. If you aren’t tracking “keeper” vocals when your cutting rhythm tracks, you can get dual use from your compressors reducing the number of channels you need.
Why is the SM-57 such a great mic, and still so inexpensive? Is it because distorted guitars aren't very dynamic, and mic that can handle the dB will do? Why does it work so well for vocals? I really like it for vocals. I like it better than the '58 for my vocals anyway. Is this mic just a fluke, or are these things less critical to record?

Here I am using smoked salmon, but you could use canned mackerel which I find really tasty - and it's high in Omega 3s which will satisfy your portion of oily fish per week.
This seafood salad club sandwich makes a great lunch snack - it's probably not a good idea to take to work, as it could be a bit messy to eat!
You can toast the bread if you like - it can make the sandwich a bit more stable.
Prepare all your filling ingredients so you can assemble the sandwiches quickly.
If you're using canned fish, then mash and season it to your taste - a squeeze of lemon is nice too.
Lay out four slices of bread, butter them and divide the mackerel evenly between them.
Top with cucumber and spread the underside of the next slice of bread with mayonnaise and then lay it on top of the cucumber.
Top with tomato and lettuce - spread mayo on the underside of the bread again and put the last slice on top.
These quantities will make 4 triple decker sandwiches - it can be a good idea to spike them with cocktail sticks to hold them together.
Give out plenty of napkins or paper towels when you serve them - they can be quite messy to eat and people are better off with some paper to catch the bits then eat them with their fingers.
Beautiful triple decker seafood salad sandwich recipe - just right for a lunch or picnic. Spike toothpicks in to stop them falling over.

What is Podiatry and how can it help?
I want to help clear up any confusion many of us have regarding Podiatrists.
I’m Kieren the Principle Podiatrist here at StudioXphys.
When I tell people I am a Podiatrist, I always get asked what a Podiatrist actually does.
I hope by the end of reading this you will be far more aware of what a Podiatrist can help you with.
Podiatrists focus uniquely on problems concerning the foot and lower limbs.
Our feet are our foundation, they support us through daily living from working all day to our exercise and our hobbies, problems in our feet can have effects all the way up into our backs, so looking after them is quite an important task.
As a podiatrist, I work with a wide variety of individuals from children and adults, right through to elite sports people or the elderly. Here at StudioXphys my load is split between musculoskeletal patients, Diabetic assessments and General foot care.
If you are experiencing any issues with your feet, ankles and lower limb, in general, I am confident I can help you reach your goal.
Common issues people present with (though definitely not limited to) are: Heel pain, Arch pain, Forefoot pain, Arthritis, Flat feet, Achilles pain, Shin pain and Knee pains. Each caused by varying factors like the amount of load placed through these structures, weak muscles, reduced or increased joint range of motions.
Treatment options vary for each individual based on our assessment but may include: Activity modification, Strengthening and stretching exercises, Footwear advice, Shockwave therapy, Orthotics therapy and Reassurance.
We also provide Diabetic assessments to ensure that diabetics are not at immediate risk of developing related complications such as Ulcerations and Gangrene by assessing blood flow and nerve function in the feet.
As well as foot pain and Diabetes, I am also here to help if you are having trouble with Ingrown toenails, corns/callus, heel fissuring, thick nails and fungal nails.
Our culture at StudioXphys is to help provide access to the experiences you enjoy, and goals you want to achieve.
However pain or injury to your feet and legs can immeasurably impact on these experiences, or in some cases even prevent you from doing the things that make you happy.
Many Podiatrists treat with a two-dimensional approach. A quick assessment, maybe a few exercises and recommend orthotics, once fitted with these orthotics they will want to see you yearly for new orthotics. I have been a part of clinics like this and have treated this way in the past.
We offer a longer initial consult that allows us to communicate effectively, for me to see beyond your pain and into what is happening daily, the effects it has on you emotionally, psychologically and physically. To have a thorough assessment and develop our treatment plan based on your expectations and the goals you want to achieve. We play a ‘team ‘game and view your pathway with us as a holistic approach from start to finish.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this blog post, I do hope it has helped to give you a better understanding and even made you feel more welcomed into the clinic.
I will be regularly posting blogs and on Facebook and Instagram, more on specific conditions and helpful tools for you to use at home, so please keep an eye out and I welcome you to ask questions.
I am so looking forward to being able to meet you all and help you on your individual journeys.

Valentine's Day is upon us. According to the British Retail Consortium, a whooping £1.3 billion is spent on Valentine's cards, flowers, chocolates and other gifts in the UK every year, with an estimated 25 million cards sent.
What are your feelings towards Valentine's Day? Is it a tacky marketing operation, another excuse to binge on chocolate or truly the most romantic day of the year?
Our cynical side can't help but sway towards the 'tacky marketing operation/eating an unacceptable amount of chocolate' argument, conjuring up images of men feeling forced to buy an over-expensive bouquet of flowers for their loved ones. This isn't what love should represent, surely?
If we really must celebrate it, we think North America has a better approach, where it's the norm for friends and family to send one another notes of adoration and appreciation.
It's important to remember that Valentine's isn't necessarily about celebrating couples! If you're single, why not send a Valentine to someone you secretly admire or join other singles at our popular Valentine's Balls across the UK?
We've still got space for eligible males at our Valentine's weekends in Manchester or Middlesex (ladies’ places at both Balls are already fully booked, so come on gents!).
Held on 13th February at the four-star Manchester Airport Marriott and Crowne Plaza London Heathrow hotels, both Valentine’s Balls are black tie and include a welcome drink, three-course dinner with wine, table moves, an evening disco and the services of an accompanying Solos Tour Leader. Tickets cost only £69 per person or stay overnight with breakfast from £119 per person.

Holds 2 butts up to 30" and 4 shafts up to 32"
Great mid-priced case. Well made, and holds everything I need. One further note, Ozone has unparalleled customer service ! Would absolutely order from Ozone for all my billiard needs.
I have purchased two cues sticks, needed a good carry case, I have purchased two Other cases from you, but decided to carry one case instead of two separate cases.
Wonderful Pool Cue Case. Holds two pool cues and two spare shafts. Looks great!
I really like this case. My old case was a square and it was hard to carry this case is easy to carry and comfortable to have on my shoulder. It is easy to get my sticks out and put away. It protects my cues and I they are covered. GREAT CASE!!!!!
i use the case every time i go to shoot pool. it is very convenient and i am able to store the items i use besides the shafts and butts. i would recommend this case for beginners.

During our Easter rehearsals, while SImone and his slide guitar were tossing and turning over a huge family lunch in Montecastelli Pisano, we had the visit of a delegation from Maryland and Pennsylvania (“friends of a friend” from Torniella), in addition to some your folks from Tatti.
In the American team, it turned out that Blaise is an ex drummer (now into congas). Replacing the drum brushes with two actual painting brushes from Wolfgang’s toolkit as drum sticks, we had the first video version of Livin’ Milano. This requires some adjustments, but is good enough for a casual Easter afternoon at home, and is cool for the audience feedback, 41 days from the departure for the Politecnico di Milano + Germania mission.
The song was written by Jack O’Malley around 1991. At the time he was studying air pollution monitoring in Politecnico, and one of the considerations he heard was that, by using the then new car retrofit technologies there was the possibility of having the same level of air pollution with a larger number of cars circulating. The lyrics were recently edited to reflect new thigs happening.

So I finally decided to try DF, just to find that the Linux build is 32-bit only, and refuses to run out of the box on Ubuntu. After a fair bit of tinkering, I managed to get it to start (though I haven't extensively tested it to make sure). These directions will likely only work with Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric), and possibly Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) as these were the versions when 32-bit compat support was GREATLY overhauled by the transition to multilib. If someone is running an older distro and needs help, I'll try and help provide instructions.
Press enter, and let it run. When you see the prompt again, apt-get is done.
If your lucky, you should see DF start up in a window. It's possible those with ATi/NVIDIA graphics cards might run into issues (GL on Linux is a serious case of black magic. If anyone tries this with the binary drivers for those cards, please report back. I have some deeper voodoo that should get THOSE working, but my laptop only has Intel video drivers).
If that all sounds too complicated or you're on a shared Linux machine without root access, the Windows version should run okay under Wine, with negligible FPS loss.
You should put this on the wiki somewhere, in case people search there too.
I hope you are joking. Emulation never comes with negligible performance costs - the sole exception is when a kernel is compiled with binary compatibility, like Linux Base on FreeBSD.
Such as doing 64 bits in lib and 32 in lib32..... this just saved me a ton of time of finding out which libs to find where and how to refer to them.
The solution in the OP works very well on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin 64-bit as of the beta1. Moreover you don't need the LD_LIBRARY_PATH at all, just installing the compatibility libs is enough. caveat: this was tested on a machine with a Radeon video card and fglrx installed. YMMV if using Nvidia or non-proprietary drivers.
I had a similar experience with the libGL.so.1 library but simply installing compatibility libraries didn't quite work. I ended up having to find the library that the dwarves actually wanted to get it running (I'm in ubuntu 14.04 using a nvidia 331.89 driver).
I looked for a 32 bit library, which I installed using the dwarf fortress on linux guide found here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=123116.0. The library I wanted was in /lib32. The error is showing up because installing new nvidia drivers can mess up the order in which libraries are found - your computer finds a libGL.so.1 and is like "oh yeh" and goes to town. Turns out, the library that it finds on its own isn't a dwarf's library. It's a human's library.
tldr; works in Ubuntu 14.04 with NVIDIA x86_64-331.89 if you tell it to run with the right library, look for it with locate and pick the right one.
Every so often I am reminded why I quit using Linux in 1997. This is one of those times.
Wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator. It's a compatibility layer.

“Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom He had raised from the dead. So they made Him dinner, and Martha was serving; and Lazarus was one of those sitting at the table with Him. Mary took a pound of very costly perfume, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
What a problem the religious leaders were experiencing. This pesky raised-from-the-dead Lazarus was costing them followers – big time. In the meantime, Lazarus continues his life with his sisters Mary and Martha – and together they are prepping for Jesus’ death and resurrection. There appear here several responses to our encounters with the words of Christ.
– Lazarus picked up where he left off with his death – and got on with meeting his resurrected challenges of living.
– Judas was selfishly focused on the here and now. Even though he had lofty “principles” related to the poor, his true heart was cloaked within the persona of a self-benefiting do-gooder.
– Martha continued to be who she was, even though Jesus had made it clear to her that serving was secondary to knowing (Luke 10:40).
– Mary humbly (and beautifully) expressed her love and devotion by anointing her Master’s feet with costly perfume and wiping them dry with her hair.
Some thoughts for your hopeful mind and heart… I am most hopeful to be like Mary. How does one expand into more personal humility? Lazarus spurs my imagination – what will it be like to hear the rest of his story? Though I wish I was more like Mary, I am Martha through and through. But I don’t think this makes me love my Master any less. Aren’t cups of cold water offered in other than Jesus Name really misplaced? Good for goodness sake is hollow – for there really is only one Who is Good (Luke 18:18). I must guard against my Judas heart.

"While all agree the U. S. President has the complete power to pardon, why think of that when only crime so far is LEAKS against us".
"Look, I have not had a conversation with the President or any member of his team regarding his desire to pardon anybody", Lewandowski said on MSNBC.
"FAKE NEWS", Trump tweeted on Saturday. "There is nothing to pardon", Sekulow said.
"The issue of pardons is not on the table".
It is hard to know how extensive Trump's pardoning powers are, because never before has there been discussion of a President pardoning himself and family members who work with him in the White House.
According to the Post report, Mr. Trump has inquired about the authority he has as president to pardon aides, relatives or even himself.
Democrats did not escape Trump's twitter rantings as he turned his attention for a moment to the ongoing investigation into Russian Federation meddling in the presidential election. Donald Trump Jr. and former campaign Chairman Paul Manafort are discussing undergoing a private interview with the Senate Judiciary Committee. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican, and top Democrat, Sen.
After the failure of the Republicans' second attempt to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, Trump said that GOP lawmakers should repeal the reform even if they have no alternative plan to replace it, but the White House insisted that Trump preferred to have both things accomplished at the same time.
Trump's popular tweet has been liked more than 57,000 times - and has been retweeted almost 16,000 times in two hours.
Mr. Trump's eldest son has become a focus of the investigation after it was revealed that he, Mr. Kushner and Mr. Manafort met with Russian representatives at Trump Tower in June 2016.
The tweet blaming Republicans for his woes has gained President Trump more likes on Twitter than his previous tweet about the "Russian Witch Hunt", which only received approximately 38,000 likes compared to the almost 60,000 likes that the tweet blaming Republicans received.

Search optimization is crucial to the success of your site and is best addressed at the beginning of any site project and the beginning of your project is your design phase. Failure to participate in conversion optimization In modern digital marketing, it’s sad to be aware that you aren’t doing any conversion optimization. Conversion optimization has become the most critical part of an ecommerce or some other website involving transactions or interactions with users. Website conversion optimization can raise your site leads and help your organization earn more and attain increased profitability. It involves several different aspects and segments that are equally important in order to increase the conversion rate of a website.
Optimization is a very scientific and complicated process which demands some degree of marketing expertise. At the close of the day, conversion optimization enables you to see which investments are working for you and which ought to be shelved. It can increase your website leads and enable the website to fulfill your objectives of creating it in the first place. Conversion Rate Optimization is a long-term procedure that will help you analyze what’s wrong, understand the way you can repair it, and optimize your site to boost its conversion rate. Conversion rate optimization (CRO) is a process in which you test variables to find out what it requires to acquire more people to generate a buy.
If it comes to marketing, there’s no lack of awesome tools. You probably also know that email marketing is often among the best digital marketing and advertising channels. Email marketing is a huge topic. When you wish to do remarkable marketing, AutoPilot is what you ought to choose. As digital marketing is turning into one of the most well-known professions on the planet, I’ve resolved to curate an ultimate collection of learning resources and useful articles all together.

Open-source websites have a host of advantages, long-term and short. The Web provides a great deal of great guides on establishing a strategic advertising and marketing strategy that’s expense reliable. Usually, the most fruitful eCommerce websites are those that put many their focus onto conversion prices.
Conversion Optimization – Is it a Scam?
Traffic together with conversion is considered the perfect marriage for virtually any marketing group and the ultimate success story once it comes to your income report. It is critical to be certain that it’s active to direct traffic to your site or lead generation page. Sharing your content on your social websites platform is an excellent way to not just boost your traffic but additionally you can get sales and improve your business through social networking.
The procedure is definitely a bit slower when you cut off investment to SEO or societal media, but the result is surely the exact same. The other process is simply known as conversion optimization. Optimizing the optimization procedure is often equally as vital as the tests themselves.

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) and The Kennel Club in the UK (TKC) have joined together to run a hip scoring scheme for breeders, in order to test for canine hip dysplasia, the most common inherited joint problem of large breed dogs. This current system came into effect in 1984.
Dogs are scored from the age of 12 months, and can only be scored once in their lifetime.The BVA/TKC publish a list of Breed Mean Scores (BMS) for each breed, together with the number of dogs tested to date and the range of scores achieved. It is then recommended that breeders ensure their breeding stock have scores which are well below the BMS.
From an x-ray taken at the owner’s vets, the BVA scores each of the hip joints: the norberg angle (0-6); subluxation (0-6); cranial acetabular edge (0-6); dorsal acetabular edge (0-6); cranial effective acetabular rim (0-6); acetabular fossa (0-6); caudal acetabular edge (0-5); femoral head and neck exostosis (0-6); femoral head recontouring (0-6), thus each hip can receive a maximum score of 53 and overall score of 106. The lower the score the better, so 0/0 would be perfect, while 53/53 would mean that the dog had no hips at all!
Measures two features — the degree of congruence between the FH and acetabulum and the length of the CrAE which gives a relative indication of acetabular depth.
Evaluation is based principally on the degree of congruence between the femoral had and acetabulum. The general ‘fit’ of these two components is assessed by the relationship between the FHC and the underlying image of the DAE; the configuration of the cranial joint space is also taken into account, particularly at the lower end of the scoring scale, when abnormalities are relatively minor. The cranial joint space is seen as a radiolucent shadow between the CrAE and adjacent cranial articular margin of the FH. For a zero score the FHC must be medial to the DAE and the cranial joint space uniformly narrow, with the curve of the CrAE eactly following that of the FH.
Minor alterations in the shape, contour and possibly the length of the CrAE are generally believed to be indicators of poor articular congruence, while more severe changes are clearly consequences of chronic instability, abnormal marginal wear and remodelling of the joint. For a score of zero the CrAE should be convex, uniformly curved and match exactly the countour of the adjacent femoral head with no lateral or medial divergence of the cranial joint space.
On good quality radiographs, the DAE forms a well-defined density interface which traverses the fH almost vertically and extends a little beyond it cranially and caudally. The clarity with which it can be seen is highly variable. A minor change in the contour of the DAE, which is normal slightly curved, merits a score of 1, but small localised irregularities, seen only on radiographs of exceptionally high quality, are considered to be within normal limits.
Higher scores are related to definitive pathological changes associated with degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis), the smallest being minor exostosis, which is usually seen cranially.
The earliest detectable abnormalities of the CrEAR are either minor exostosis, usually in the form of a small, well-modelled osteophyte, or slight ’rounding off’ of the junction between the CrAE and DAE, which may be seen in the presence of a non-biblabiated CrAE.
Detectable bone deposition in the AF is almost always associated with marked subluxation and the amount tends to increase in proportion with the increase in the other radiographic hallmarks of secondary degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis). Objective numerical scoring of this criterion is difficult, but as changes are likely to be recorded only in dogs with a total score considerably higher than average, the importance of a high level of accuracy is diminished.
The CaAE is the segment of the acetabulum which is subject to the widest range of normal radiographic variation. Radiographic abnormalities are scored between 0 and 5 and changes are due mainly to exostosis with signs of wear being apparent only in advanced cases.
The normal FH should have a smooth rounnnnndish profile, but the shape may vary considerably.
This criterion is used to record the extent to which the FH shape is altered as a consequence of instability. Thus scores are likely to be awarded only in cases in which secondary changes are well established, when remodelling occurs as a result of the combined effects of periarticular new bone formation and loss of subchondral bone following total destruction of articular cartilage.

There’s no better way to wake a camp of hunters with the deep crack of a 338 win mag being sighted in at 6.30 am. A couple of shots and a couple of clicks and we were ready to rock n’ roll. We were also accompanied by Ace and William our tracker and respective skinner for the hunt.
The Cruiser ambled up the mountain as we were going to hunt a property down the road. We pulled up to the boundary gate I noticed the grass was higher than the fence; this was going to be an added challenge just trying to see over the grass. We start glassing the hill face from the vehicle which has acacia trees and brush covering it in patches.
I get excited and elbow Shaun when I spot the rusty red coloured Impala ewes feeding out in the open, I was wrapped but we were after a Kudu Bull, the majestic King of these hills. With the sun starting to warm up we used the cover of the trees and skin up halfway up a hillside and glass the facing hill.
We spot a Nyala bull however he is partially hidden by the brush and there’s no point in putting in stalk as we spot two Kudu cows with a calf in tow. We follow the cows across the hill waiting for a bull to appear, another cow is spotted on the ridgeline and again we comb the brush waiting to see a bull but it was not meant to be.
The Impala herd had now moved towards us, it was tempting to look for a monster ram, instead, we headed back to the vehicle and crossed a dirt track into a neighbouring property.
The morning was now turning into afternoon, there was no movement on either side of the vehicle as we travelled down the farm track and exited the property. We head back to camp where the air was soaked with the scent of freshly baked bread over coals and a hot lunch awaited.
Shaun plans the afternoon hunt as time is ticking and he wants to get onto a Kudu, again we head out in the same direction to check a property on the opposite side of the main road. The grass isn’t as thick on this block as cattle have been pushed through, there’s an abandoned farmhouse which has seen better days.
We are following the cattle fence into what appears to be a 180-degree enormous valley, with several gullies choked with brush and lightly timbered. We crawl out of the Cruiser and take up some glassing positions, three sets of binos are canvassing the vast expanse of greens, yellows and greys. It felt like I was glassing for Sambar back home, searching for the ivory tip or glimpse of movement on the edge of a clearing.
Is it a Kudu bull at last?
I head off to the right side of the valley and I hiss to Shaun to come and look, Kudu cows. I haven’t even finished my sentence and he has Ace sitting at the look-out point, there’s a Kudu Bull. We turn the Cruiser around and tear down the shoulder of the hill to close the gap enough to put in a stalk, every bovine on the property must have been standing in our way on the track staring blankly at us and taking all the time to amble off the track.
Jumping out of the Cruiser we are quickly, yet carefully moving through the brush and thorns. Thorns are everywhere in this part of South Africa and they tear through everything. We are crouching behind a bush, and the bull is right in front of us, Shaun sets up the sticks and I get in position.
“He is right in front” whispers Shaun, all I can see is what I think is a part of a horn and nothing else. I think to myself where are the jungle drums coming from at this point? No drums, that was my heart pounding in my ears. I had to calm myself down and I still couldn’t see any Kudu.
We inch forward on hands and knees trying to avoid dried out, brittle inch long thorns positioned to pierce flesh. Off to the side, Shaun spots another Kudu bull, while the first bull is now servicing a cow. To give you an idea how thick the bush becomes I could not see any of this occur from 80 or so meters away.
The sticks are set on the second bull and I can see him now on the move. I spot him in the scope and chase him through an opening and not comfortable with the shot I swing ahead of him to another clear as he begins to speed up I squeeze the trigger and he continues to run.
I was confident with the shot and Shaun is beaming with a smile, let’s go and find him. Within 30 meters of where the bull was running, we can see the Majestic King. What a spectacular animal, he was an old bull past his prime and exceptionally wide.
There were so many cattle ticks crawling all over the bull they almost lifted the bull and walked away with him. We were all ecstatic, it was around 4 pm and Shaun turns to me and says let's keep hunting, hell yea!
The light is fading and we have crossed two valleys before we start glassing again. Within minutes we spot three brown blotches on the hillside, a bachelor herd of Nyala bulls. I grab the rifle and we are racing on foot down a hill to get within shooting range.
To our surprise, an old Nyala bull is standing under a tree below us. He starts to trot up the hill to the cover of the choked bush, I fire and the shot is just in front of him. Standing on my toes I take a second shot and it is a solid hit to the Bull. We look at each other and can’t believe in an afternoon we have managed to hunt the King of the hills a Kudu bull and the Joker of the hills a Nyala Bull.
The recovery of the bull was an adventure in itself, using a body bag, the torch on my phone to negotiate the long grass and hidden boulders and finally the winch on the Cruiser to haul the bull out of a dry creek bed. Two of the three spiral horn antelope of the area are in the bag at the end of one day.

The city of Mariwan is located next to placid lakes and green mountains in western Iran.
In early July, members of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, a Kurdish group, came down from the mountains into the town. A commander from the group emerged and spoke to hundreds of residents in a video the Kurds put online. “The Kurdish people are ready to stand up against the Islamist regime in Iran,” a spokesman tweeted.
Both the regime’s suppression of Kurdish rights and the recent protests in Tehran inspired the increased operations by the Kurdish group.
“It means that the presence of the Peshmerga [Kurdish fighters] in Iranian Kurdistan has increased recently and they appear among the people more frequently,” a statement from PDKI leader Mustafa Hijri said.
In recent weeks, the PDKI has begun to deploy its forces more publicly in the Kurdistan region of eastern Iran. This area is called Rojhelat in Kurdish. The group now says its fighters are outside a half-dozen cities, including Mariwan, Baneh and Sanandaj.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has deployed tanks to contend with the insurgency. But the PDKI isn’t backing down; they claim to have killed IRGC members in recent operations and clashes. On July 3 the Zagros Eagles, a group associated with the PDKI, assaulted an outpost near Piranshahr, according to a statement posted online.
The Kurdish group has also supported the widespread protests that have been rocking Tehran and other provinces in recent months.
This is a big win for the taxpayer, a loss for the inner city youth who want to learn. Blame must be placed on the “slave mentality” of the democrat who is in charge of the inner city education industry.
