Our Hillsborough Day. What really happened?
Written by Daniel Symons, year 10, Student Media Team
We had a day dedicated to the Hillsborough disaster and the subsequent miscarriage of justice that followed. A typical Monday became an insightful look into the tragic events that came to fruition on the 15th April 1989 on the Hillsborough football ground in Sheffield. For the last four years, our school have hosted a Hillsborough day, but this year it was larger and more significant than usual. In April 2016, the accidental death verdict was overturned, and we learned for sure that 96 Liverpool fans were unlawfully killed.
Our school was proud to play host to our local MP Alison McGovern and head of the Hillsborough Family Support Group (HFSG} Margaret Aspinall. Margaret Aspinall lost her son, 18-year-old son James in the disaster, making her one of the many friends and family who lost loved ones on that solumn day.
Her story is tragic.
Margaret had heard on the news that people had died but did not believe her son could be one of them, but had no way of confirming what had happened to him as there were no mobile phones around then. She waited until the last coach returned before realising something must be very wrong. She sent her husband back to Sheffield, and when he came back at 6 in the morning with his head in his hands, she ran away.
"She didn't want to know that her son was dead – if he couldn't tell her, then maybe it wasn't true."
When her husband and Margaret returned to Sheffield to see her son, he was behind a glass screen. The mother desperately wanted to give her son a hug but was told, "Sorry Mrs Aspinall; he doesn't belong to you anymore. He belongs to the coroner."
Margaret would spend the next 27 years fighting for justice for what happened to her son and the 95 other victims who were unlawfully killed.
I was lucky enough to have a conversation with Margaret; it was one of the most insightful moments of my life, allowing me to understand more of the weight and sorrow the Hillsborough tragedy put on not just the families of the 96 who died, but on Liverpool fans in general.
What really happened at Hillsborough? For those of you still unaware of what precisely happened on the fifteenth of April 1989, allow me to inform you. It was the FA Cup semi-final, Liverpool VS Nottingham Forrest, at Sheffield's Hillsborough ground; all 54000 tickets have been sold.
All 24000 Liverpool fans were forced to enter the ground via the west side. To keep them separate from the Nottingham fans, this, however, leaves them with only one small entrance to enter through; the ten thousand fans headed to the standing terrace in particular only had to pass through seven turn styles to get into the field.
The officer in charge of the Hillsborough ground on that day, David Duckenfield, had only been assigned to the ground three weeks before kick-off, making him inexperienced to a degree. On the day of kick-off, there was a crush outside the gate due to fans trying to get inside the ground through the tiny entrance, so Duckenfield made the choice to open gate C, which enlarged the opening which allowed more fans to pass through it.
When he opened gate C, he didn't cut off the Liverpool fan's access to the tunnels that lead to the central pens three and four, positioned right behind the goal, which was starting to become overcrowded.
This meant that even larger quantities of fans were being forced into two increasingly overcrowded pens; two thousand more to be exact.
Six minutes after kick off, fans began to escape the pens by climbing over the fences, causing the match to be stopped. Many Nottingham Forest fans behaved mistakenly thought this was a pitch invasion. On the Liverpool side, 96 people were crushed to death as a result of poor and ignorant actions of Duckenfield. If it weren't for the brave actions of the Liverpool fans in the seating area above the pens, lifting possible victims' to safety, then more people would have indeed lost their life that day.
The police were desperate not to accept blame for the incident, as even as the tragedy was unfolding, Duckenfield was already constructing a lie to blame the Liverpool fans; and so began the infamous cover-up. Part of this involved checking the dead for alcohol levels and crime history, this included the youngest of the deceased who was only ten.
In the following days, the newspaper "The Sun" published an article named "The Truth" which accused the Liverpool fans of committing disgraceful acts such as pickpocketing and urinating on the dead and causing physical harm to the police trying to give the kiss of life to those on the verge of death; acts that the Liverpool fans simply didn't commit.
From that moment a 27-year fight for justice began, a fight to uncover all the lies that had wrongly plagued the reputation of Liverpool fans and to find those responsible for the tragedy. 96 innocent people lost their lives long before they should have, all because of the mistakes and wrongdoings of those in charge.
I believe South Wirral High School's Hillsborough has truly revealed the intensity of the tragedy. It showed us the reality of the mistakes made that lead to the deaths of 96 people. This day is courtesy of Head of Geography, Mr Jones, who has started a petition to have the Hillsborough disaster placed on the national curriculum.
"I advocate that people sign it on grounds that the events at Hillsborough are some of the most tragic in Merseyside history; younger generations simply must be educated on it so the mistakes aren't repeated."

When you decide to opt for cosmetic surgery in Jackson MS, you are not just opting for a physical transformation; you trust an external person with all your conviction to bring that transformation in you. It is not of those easy decisions that you make in life; therefore, it is only natural that you should entrust the responsibility of plastic surgery with an expert who has ample experience in this field and who knows what you require exactly so that you can save yourself from future embarrassments later on. Here are some tips on choose a plastic surgery clinic in your locality.
Expertise in specific areas
If you have been advised for plastic surgery in a particular area in your body (face, arms, legs, etc.), you should remember that a general plastic surgeon wouldn't suffice. Choose a clinic that is dedicated to reconstructive surgeries in the area of your preference. For example, there are lots of clinics that are dedicated to facial surgery, ENT reconstructive surgeries, etc. Therefore, research on the internet for such specialized clinics to get the best possible treatment. Then you want to look for the top cosmetic surgeon in the field of your search and run all comparisons.
How Do You Locate The Best Cosmetic Clinic in Jackson MS?
Looking good is a dream of every woman. No matter the age, culture and physical appearance. Almost every woman opt for one or the other method to enhance her beauty. Cosmetic surgeons are there to help you out. But finding the best cosmetic surgeon in your area is one of the toughest tasks. Technology has made the process quite easier.
No doubt, these surgeries are changing your appearance, but have various drawbacks at the other end. You should consider the pros and cons of these surgeries before opting any one of them. Make a thorough research on the topic. Keep a paper and a pen by your side to write down all the points that need clarification.
The next step involved in the search for the best cosmetic surgeon. The result could end up on thousands providing the service you are looking for. Make a list and go through their websites to get additional information.
Consider the following points in your search before making the final choice:
- Qualifications: Check the qualifications of the cosmetic surgeons you have mentioned in your list. Also, check the details of training and internship he had. The cosmetic surgery is the field that requires not only theoretical but practical knowledge as well. The surgeon who had his internship can only know how to deal with certain obscure situations and with the patients.
- How to find the aptitude: It could be people's voice, information through any of the search engines, personal websites or directories. You can contact your family physician to make any additional inquire about any particular cosmetic surgeon.
- Check the services: There are surgeons who provide different surgeries and hide their post effects. Always have a look at the service section of the website of the particular cosmetic surgeon. Note down the details of the surgery. Additionally, note down the reviews for proper analysis.
- Check the cost of the surgery: While exploring you should take into consideration the process followed to perform the treatment. The cost depends on the type of material required, tools used, duration and the intensity of the surgery to be performed.
Cosmetic Procedure Costs - What Should You Expect?
Step 1: Find a reputable liposuction specialist
This is probably the most vital step. If you falter at this point, you might end up getting the entire procedure wrong. Ideally, you should consult your general physician and request him or her to provide you with contact details of a reputable and experienced specialist. Make sure the specialist you pick has a great track record and has at least a decade of experience to brag. If possible, speak to patients treated by that individual.
Step 2: Schedule an appointment
Once you find a specialist for carrying out the weight loss surgery, schedule an appointment with him or her. During your visit to the surgeon's chamber, you should discuss factors like your health goals, benefits of the procedure, its risks, and other options you have with him or her. Also, don't forget to ask the person to inform you about the expenses you'll have to bear.
Step 3: Book the surgery date
If you are satisfied with the discussion you had during your visit to the specialist's chamber, book the surgery date. It would be wise, if you follow the surgeon's advice when deciding on the date. That's because he or she will suggest the date based on your health status.
Step 4: Get the suggested blood work done
Your general physician or the surgeon picked by you will ask you to get a few blood tests done prior to the procedure. The number of tests to be done might vary from one patient to another. One test that everyone undergoing liposuction needs to get done before the process is CBC or complete blood count. It's a test that shows the patient's hematocrit and hemoglobin.
Step 5: Get the required supplies
If you want the process of recovery to be smooth and quick, don't forget to get all the supplies from a nearby pharmacy before the surgery. Some of the items you should have ready include a pair of plastic gloves, a urinal, alcohol swabs, antibacterial soaps, sleeping mask, ear plugs, ice packs, compression garments, loose and baggy clothing, extra towels, body wipes, compression socks, stool softener, Arnica cream or gel for managing the bruises, etc. Your surgeon or general physician will provide you with a list of supplies that you'll need for easy recovery; make sure you get them ready before the process.
Step 6: Allow someone to accompany you when going for the procedure
Although liposuction is a cosmetic procedure, you should never go for it without someone by your side. You should be accompanied by someone very close to you; it can be a dear friend or someone from your family. Make sure the person accompanying you is responsible and sharp.
Step 7: Take enough rest
The surgery is over and you are discharged after spending a night at the hospital. You'll have to understand that getting the discharge certificate from the hospital doesn't mean that you are fit to resume normal life. You'll have to take enough rest even after going home; that's the only way of accelerating the recovery procedure. During this period, you should keep wearing loose garments.
Step 8: Start practicing some light exercises
After 24 to 48 hours of the surgery, you should start practicing some very light exercises. Ideally, you should go for a leisurely stroll each day. Try to cover a distance of one or two miles per day during the initial days of the postoperative period.
Step 9: Get back to your normal exercising schedule
Weight for three weeks and get back to the exercising schedule you used to follow prior to liposuction. Of course, you should follow this suggestion if you are not experiencing any complication after undergoing the process. If there's any complication, don't hesitate to get yourself checked by your general physician.
Step 10: Take post operation photos

The Forum

- Files
The Forum (known for a 15-year period as the Great Western Forum) is an indoor arena, in Inglewood, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. From 2000 to 2010, it was owned by the Faithful Central Bible Church, which occasionally used it for church services, while also leasing the building for sporting events, concerts and other events.
Along with Madison Square Garden, it was one of the most well-known indoor sports venues in the world, during its time operating as a major venue. The Forum achieved its greatest fame as the home of the Los Angeles Lakers, of the NBA and of the Los Angeles Kings, of the NHL from 1967–1999, when the teams moved to Staples Center. The building was also the home of the Los Angeles Sparks, of the WNBA, from 1997, until they too moved to Staples Center in 2001.
The Forum was the site of the 1972 and 1983 NBA All-Star Games, the 1981 NHL All-Star Game, Basketball at the 1984 Summer Olympics and hosted the Big West Conference men's basketball tournament from 1983–1988 and also the 1989 Pacific-10 Conference men's basketball tournament.
In December 2010, Madison Square Garden, Inc. was reported to be finalizing a deal to purchase the Forum. A possible refurbishment project for the venue is in the works.
The Forum is located at 3900 West Manchester Boulevard, across 90th Street (re-dedicated as Pincay Drive in December 2003) and to the north of the Hollywood Park racetrack and casino, about three miles east of Los Angeles International Airport. It is a prominent feature on the landing approach to the airport from the east.History
1960s and 70s
Situated on a former golf course, The "Fabulous" Forum, as it would become colloquially known to locals, was constructed in 1967 by Jack Kent Cooke, then-owner of the Lakers and founding owner of the Kings. The circular, US$16 million (US$105 million in 2011 dollars) structure was designed by renowned Los Angeles architect Charles Luckman and was intended to evoke the Roman Forum. The arena seats 17,505, for basketball, 16,005, for ice hockey and up to 18,000 for concerts; it has no luxury suites, but held an unprecedented 2,400 club seats for events. In excess of 70 percent of the seats were located between the goals and no seat is more than 170 feet from the playing surface.
The Forum became a landmark in the Greater Los Angeles Area, in large measure from the success of the Lakers and from the Hollywood celebrities often sighted in its audiences. It hosted a vast number of events such as tennis matches, concerts, boxing matches, and political events. It is sometimes referred to as the "Los Angeles Forum" or "L.A. Forum" to differentiate it from other buildings, venues and places carrying the name "Forum".
Cream performed during their Farewell Tour on October 18, 1968, with Deep Purple as their opening act. Deep Purple recorded their part of the show, which was later released as a live album, entitled Inglewood – Live in California.
Steppenwolf performed on July 14, 1969, with Three Dog Night as their opening act. TDN recorded their part of the show, which was later released as a live album, entitled Captured Live at the Forum.
Between 1970-1977, Led Zeppelin played at The Forum 16 times (their live album, How the West Was Won was partly recorded at the venue), including a run of 6 sold-out dates in 1977; one of these shows comprises the famous bootleg, Listen To This Eddie (Eddie Van Halen, prior to the release of Van Halen's first album, was reported to be among those in attendance).
In July 1970, The Jackson 5 broke attendance records at The Forum, performing a concert with 18,675 paid admissions, grossing US$105,000 (US$594 thousand in 2011 dollars).
On November 14, 1970, Elvis Presley did two shows (one in the afternoon, another one in the evening) with 18,700 and 18,698 paid admissions. This was during Elvis' second tour. He would return his 10th tour, to perform for two more sold out shows on May 11, 1974 (with 18,500 paid admissions each).
Barbra Streisand recorded her Live Concert at the Forum there on April 15, 1972.
Jethro Tull played 5 sold out shows in one week, from February 3rd-4th and 8th-10th, 1975, the first time an artist had done so in the history of the arena.
The Bee Gees performed during their Children of the World Tour on December 20, 1976, the show was recorded for their first live album, in their, then, 12-year career, entitled Here at Last... Bee Gees... Live.
Parliament-Funkadelic recorded half of their live album, Live: P-Funk Earth Tour, here on January 19, 1977.
KISS performed, on two consecutive nights, during their Love Gun Tour on August 26–28, 1977, the shows were recorded for their second live album, entitled Alive II. CORRECTION , KISS played 3 consecutive sold out nights at The Forum during the Love Gun Tour, August 26, 27, 28 1977...
In 1979, Cooke sold The Forum, along with the Lakers and the Kings, to Jerry Buss for a then-record $67.5 million (US$203 million in 2011 dollars).1980s
The Lakers experienced a tremendous run of success in the 1980s, winning five NBA Championships and making the NBA Finals every year but two (1981 and 1986), both times being defeated by the Houston Rockets. This level of success raised The Forum's profile greatly across the sporting world, as fans became accustomed to watching playoff games and other important games played there by the Lakers.
In April 1982, The Forum was the site of the Miracle on Manchester, in which the Kings completed the largest comeback in NHL playoff history, going from being down 5-0 to win the game 6-5 in overtime over the Edmonton Oilers. Combined with upset wins in Games 1 and 5, the Kings eliminated the heavily favored Oilers in a 3-2 series victory to reach the second round.
Queen returned and concluded the US leg of their Hot Space Tour here, with two consecutive shows on September 14–15, 1982, with Billy Squier as their opening act. These marked Queen's final live performances in the US, before the death of lead vocalist Freddie Mercury in 1991 and the retirement of bass guitarist John Deacon in 1997, until the Queen + Paul Rodgers Tour, 23 years later, in 2005.
In 1984, The Forum also found itself in an international spotlight, as it hosted the basketball tournaments of the 1984 Summer Olympics.
The Forum played host to Amnesty International's A Conspiracy of Hope Benefit Concert on June 6, 1986. The show was headlined by U2 and Sting and also featured Bryan Adams, Jackson Browne, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed, Joan Baez and The Neville Brothers.
KISS were scheduled to return during their Crazy Nights Tour on March 31, 1988, but the show was cancelled.
In December 1988, Buss capitalized on all of this success by selling the arena's naming rights to Great Western Savings & Loan. This also coincided with the arrival of Wayne Gretzky in Los Angeles, which greatly increased the profile of the building's other tenant, the Kings. The exterior of the building was repainted blue from the original "Roman red" color, and the building was officially renamed the "Great Western Forum", and that name was retained for several years, even after Great Western was acquired by Washington Mutual (now JPMorgan Chase) and ceased to exist. Such naming rights deals eventually became commonplace in major American sports, but were not so at the time of Buss' deal with Great Western. There was some initial negative public reaction to the changing of the venue's historic name, and most local residents continued to refer to the arena as simply "The Forum". However, the adverse reaction was eventually somewhat muted by the fact that the new name of "Great Western Forum" sounded rather like a natural name for the arena, given its location in the western United States. So much so that many people, particularly among those outside the Los Angeles area, remained unaware that the name was the result of a naming rights deal. To this day, many residents of the Los Angeles area still refer to the building as the Great Western Forum.1990s
Janet Jackson performed four sold-out shows during her Rhythm Nation World Tour on April 20–21 and 25-26, 1990, they sold out in 48 minutes.
Guns N' Roses played their longest show of the Use Your Illusion Tour on July 3rd, 1991, which lasted three and a half hours.
Before the 1991–92 NBA and NHL seasons, a new, modern scoreboard was installed, replacing the one that had been in use since the building opened in 1967. The original scoreboard, designed by All American Scoreboards in Pardeeville, Wisconsin, contained a two-line messageboard on each side, the third electronic messageboard in the NHL (and the second in the NBA); the new scoreboard, designed by Daktronics, kept the two-line messageboards but now incorporated a Sony JumboTron videoboard on each side. However, by the middle of the decade, the Great Western Forum was still regarded as too small, and more importantly, it lacked premium skyboxes and sufficient retail and commercial space. Los Angeles officials, seeking to redevelop that city's downtown area, began planning for a new sports arena and entertainment complex to be located there, with an eye toward wooing the Lakers and Kings away from Inglewood.
The Kings' owners (who did substantial business as real estate developers) agreed to develop the complex, eventually given the name "Staples Center", and signed Buss on to move the Lakers into the new arena as a co-tenant with the Kings (as well as a third tenant, the Clippers, who would move there from the Los Angeles Sports Arena). The new arena was to open in the autumn of 1999 and, as part of this deal, Buss sold the Great Western Forum to L.A. Arena Co. (a company also owned by the Kings' owners).
Nirvana played a sold-out show on December 30, 1993. This would be their final Los Angeles-area performance. The version of "Heart Shaped Box", from the December 30th show, is included on their live album, From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah.
AC/DC returned and concluded the 1st US leg of their Ballbreaker World Tour on February 21, 1996. Originally scheduled for February 1, the show was postponed, so lead vocalist Brian Johnson could attend his father's funeral.
In 1999, the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, starring Aerosmith, opened at the Disney-MGM Studios (now Disney's Hollywood Studios) in Walt Disney World. The ride is depicted as a wild-drive through Los Angeles, via stretched limousine, to The Forum, for an Aerosmith concert.
The Lakers' 118–107 playoff loss to the San Antonio Spurs on May 23, 1999 was the last meaningful Lakers' game played in the Forum. The Lakers would play two more preseason games at the Forum the following season before moving into the brand-new Staples Center.2000s
On February 14th, 2003, Phish kicked off their first post-hiatus tour at the Forum. In addition to a fan jumping up on stage to give a message of love during the song AC/DC Bag, the Vermont four piece performed a cover of the Dr. Hook classic . The band had recently made their first and only cover of the popular publication.
Iron Maiden performed on 02/19/08 and recorded part of their Flight 666 documentary here. They recorded their famous track "Number of the Beast" live for their documentary.
The Sparks made 2000 their last season in the venue and then followed the Lakers and Clippers to Staples Center.
The Great Western Forum housed the regular live events as well as the offices and training facilities for the 2000-2001 syndicated television series WOW! Women of Wrestling.
Faithful Central Bible Church, home to a predominantly African-American congregation numbering over 12,000, purchased the Great Western Forum at the end of 2000 and began holding its regular service there each Sunday morning. However, Faithful Central representatives have said that their intention in purchasing the arena was never to convert into a religious building, and in 2009, the church discontinued regular use of The Forum for its church services.
Under Faithful Central, the building has continued to be made available for rent for concerts, sporting events and other activities that require that type of large venue. As such, ownership is held through the church's for-profit entity, Forum Enterprises, Inc., which continues to welcome to the arena mainstream and secular fare, including concerts by well-known secular and popular music artists. At times, however, the church's ownership of the building has influenced the approval of specific performers for the venue, such as in 2005 and 2009, when The Forum refused to allow performances by the heavy metal band Lamb of God because the band's former name had been "Burn the Priest".
In 2003, Great Western's naming rights contract on the building expired and Forum Enterprises reverted the venue's official name to the original "The Forum". Despite this and despite the fact that Great Western had in 1997 ceased to exist as a separate entity, the Great Western corporate logo and the letters forming the words GREAT WESTERN initially remained on the building's exterior. Great Western's exterior lettering was finally removed from the building in 2006.
The venue continues to be made available for film use, such as arena interior shots used in the 2002 film Like Mike. Rock band Foo Fighters used the building as the setting and filming location in the music video for the song "All My Life" in 2003, prominently featuring the outside architecture and name of the building in the opening and closing shots. In 2008, a scene for the 2009 feature film Hannah Montana: The Movie was filmed outside The Forum, as was the video for the Weezer song "Troublemaker" from their 2008 album The Red Album. More recently, the venue was featured in the video game Guitar Hero: Metallica.
In May and June 2009, Michael Jackson rehearsed at the Forum for his planned This Is It concert series in London. After the singer passed away on 25 June 2009, footage of these rehearsals, along with those from the Staples Center, formed part of the motion picture Michael Jackson's This Is It released by Sony Pictures in October 2009.
On October 9, 2009, the Lakers returned to the Forum for a preseason game against the Golden State Warriors to celebrate the start of the team's 50th season in Los Angeles. The Lakers lost 110-91. Because the scoreboard had been torn down during its use as a church, a temporary scoreboard and video monitor was brought in for the game.2010s
The Forum was the location of the Los Angeles auditions for the 10th season of American Idol on September 22, 2010.
It also hosted a sold-out show from the German band Rammstein on their first North American Tour in over 10 years on May 20, 2011.
The Forum is currently being used as a location by the Matthew Perry series Mr. Sunshine. It acts as a stand-in for the fictional Sunshine Center.
Over six weeks (April 14 to May 29, 2011), Prince performed 15 shows of his so-called "21 Nite Stand" at The Forum on his Welcome 2 America tour.

The Columbus Fish Market at Crosswoods has closed.
The restaurant is the latest casualty at Crosswoods where Ruth's Chris and Hyde Park Prime steakhouses closed last year, though the latter is expected to reopen next year as part of a new hotel development.
The Fish Market was one of local restaurateur Cameron Mitchell's more successful concepts. The chain, which once had 22 locations, was sold to the owner of Ruth's Chris in 2008 for $94 million. Ruth's sold the Fish Market chain in 2014 to Houston-based Landry's for $10 million in 2014. Landry's also owns Morton's, McCormick & Schmick's, Rainforest Cafe, and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., among many others.
The Fish Market on Olentangy River Road in Columbus remains open. Outside of Columbus, the chain is called Mitchell's Fish Market. There are 18 stores across the Midwest and Florida.
Landry's was not available for comment.

Warner Bros. to sell shows on iTunesJuly 25, 2006 at 4:48 pm | Posted in TV News, Veronica Mars | 1 Comment
Warner Bros. has announced that it will sell its shows on iTunes, joining virtually all of the other major networks. Currently, it's only offering Friends, Babylon 5, The Jetsons, The Flintstones, MADtv, and the Aquaman pilot, but perhaps if those sell well, they might add Veronica Mars? Please? (Seriously, I will purchase that show in any and every format.)

I downloaded the Aquaman pilot. It was actually pretty good. Pity that it won't be on CW. I am downloading Babylon 5 now — I hope you're right and they put VM up there. I'll pick it up.

Observations and results:
we observed that in the warmer water bath the yeast did ferment faster because we could see more bubbles coming from the test tube then the test tube in the cooler water bath. In the class data table you can see that in the 20º water bath the class total was 9 bubbles with an average of 1.5 and in the 38º Celsius water the total was 556 and the average was 92.6 this shows a big increase in the amount of bubbles
Analysis and conclusion:
The data shows that the group's hypothesis was in fact correct and the yeast fermented faster in the warmer water bath.
Some possible mistakes in this lab would be incorrect water temperature or an incorrect amount of glucose solution. Another mistake could be that we added too much or too little amounts of yeast or that some of the yeast was not active.

Discussion in 'M1 Garand' started by TheJoker, Oct 25, 2014.
If your just getting started, I'm anxious to see the rest of the decorations!
Oh yeah, there's more decoratin' to do. A buddy built this rack for me about 10 years ago. It has been hiding in a walk-in closet, unpainted ever since. Today, it got several coats of paint and dragged upstairs.
I'm too anal I guess. I'd have to build the racks so the rifles sit level. I built a rack in Jr. High, and modded the pattern so the "hooks" were uneven and my guns sat fairly level. Wonder whatever happened to that thing......
I like that tall rack, that's awesome! Wish I had space for something like that. Not sure about the green color though. It's not mounted, is it? Awfully close to the door.
The rack with the M1s has an offset. They would lay horizontal, if I took the slings off of the rifles. I didn't think of it when I designed the big rack. It isn't mounted yet; but, that's pretty close to where it will rest. The door you see is to a closet. It won't be open.
Nice and I see if you put the rifles in that green rack you will not be able to open the door nor can the wife get in Make sure you have enough supplies to stay alive.
Yeppers, a man needs a project or two...
That's an open closet door, it won't be in the way, I promise. The new man cave has two closets. Perfect for the fella that has to keep two dozen different cartridges in stock.
In fact, my Baby served me coffee, biscuits and gravy in the man cave this morning. It don't get any better than that!
I would be hesitant to put all my rifles out for the ease of burglars.. Shat happene you know...
You need one of these....
Lookin good Joker. Hope you come up with some more creative ideas for your cave.
Don't need one of those...the watch leopard is on duty!!!
It looks like you enjoy your tunes too!
You sell that cat and you can buy 5 more Garands I seen what those bad boys go for and thought about getting one until I seen the cost. Is it top end of the breed or middle?? Rick B
Hi Rick ... Yep, you are correct. I bought Ra from a breeder in Indianapolis, Grace on High Bengals. Five field grade SA M1s from the CMP is pretty close. I wouldn't trade my baby for a whole stack of M1s. These American Bengal cats behave more like dogs than cats. Besides being gorgeous, he has a really sweet disposition and is very smart...maybe too smart. I keep catching him trying to open doors.
He is a F2 foundation kitty which puts him right at top. His maternal grandpaw, Malaki of Texas Star is an Asian Leopard Cat and most of the other genetic contributors are SBT American Bengals.
You might talk to Tia of Grace on High Bengals. She set me up with an easy payment plan while I was waiting for the next litter of kittens. The kitties she breeds and raises are simply incredible in their beauty and personalities.
rondog was right, I should have designed the rack with an offset. That was 10 years ago. When, I had the rack built, I didn't have most of the rifles. I just had a vague plan that I wanted to build a display as a tribute to "The Greatest Generation."
I may have to replace the M1 Carbine with a WWII refurbished Model of 1917 that didn't make the original cut. It would sit more level than the carbine.
Or maybe just put a small spacer under the front ends to level them up if you want?
I always look for the easy way. Some call it lazy, I call it efficient...
Nice. Looks like a lot of what I have.
I have 2 long walls in the gun room, one is for pistols and the other for 2 rows of long guns. I use peg board to hang to guns on, works great. One end is a window and the other a closet.
Don't have near enuf room for everything so most is in the safes.
That's still very cool! I wish I had a space to setup something like that. Basement's just too small and cluttered. I'd have the bayonets mounted on all my rifles too!
Most of my firearms are in the gun safe. I just don't have room in the safe for everything. I have secured the room with extra locks and alarm sensors. I think the WWII stuff deserves to be displayed.
Yeah, I'm thinking about mounting bayonets on them. I have them for most of the rifles.
I'll take more pictures as a get on with the decoratin'. I've got three tin signs I need to put up. And Dad's John Wayne stuff. Can't forget the John Wayne stuff!

Non-Functional Requirements: Soft is harder to deal with than hard - The Ten Commandments
VijaySankar 270000E5JQ Comments (2) Visits (14149)
Prof. Lawrence Chung (chu
What are non-functional requirements (NFRs)?
NFRs colloquially have been called "-ilities" and "-ities", since many words referring to NFRs end with "-ility" (e.g., usability, flexibility, reliability, maintainability) or "-ity" (e.g., security, integrity, simplicity, ubiquity). There are of course many other words that do not end with either "-ility" or "-ity", such as performance, user-friendliness, power consumption, and esthetics, but still refer to NFRs.
Functional requirements (FRs), in contrast, are about functions, activities, tasks, etc. that may accept some input and produce some output.
Consider, for example, "add" ("+") on a calculator which adds two numbers given as input and produces another number as output shown on the screen. Now suppose you type "2 + 3 =" now and the calculator shows "5", but one year from now. In this case, the "add" on the calculator is functionally correct but non-functionally terrible, in particular, concerning performance.
As even in this simple example, a system which fulfills only functional requirements is often times not usable or even not useful.
The "soft" Characteristics of NFRs and how to deal with them:
NFRs are global, subjective, interacting and graded.
FRs, such as "The calculator shall offer an "add" function", are local in the sense that they are specific to the particular functions and not applicable to other functions or globally to other systems, such as a "subtract" function or a banking system. However, NFR terms such as "performance" can be applied to many other functions and systems, such as a "subtract" function and a banking system, and also those parts of such a function and a system.
In contrast to FRs, NFRs are subjective in both their definitions and the manner they need to be met – some are more subjective than others. Concerning definitions, for example, usability may mean simplicity and the availability of many help facilities to some people, while the same may mean something different, such as minimal learning curve and fast response. Concerning the manner whereby NFRs are seen satisfactorily met also depends on the (perception of the) user. For example, the keyboard with tiny keys on a smartphone may be usable to young people but not to old people. Also, large keys may be good enough for some people in using a smartphone, but a context-sensitive help may additionally be needed for a smartphone to be considered usable for some other people.
NFRs are also interacting with each other, either synergistically or antagonistically or both. For example, a heavy authentication mechanism, for the purpose of enhanced security, may be hurting usability. If it takes three different passwords, which have to be changed every month and should consist of at least one special character, one digit, one upper case character, one function key, etc., in order to get in the system, the user of the system is unlikely to feel that the system is user-friendly. Hence, a conflict between security and user-friendliness. But a heavy security mechanism may help prevent unauthorized people from entering fake data in the system, hence a synergy between the security and the accuracy of data.
NFRs are graded, in the sense that they are usually met to different degrees. For example, an "add" function may be seen to be very good, good, bad or very bad, concerning its performance or usability, and different ways to implement the add function may affect the function differently – e.g., fully positively, partially positively, fully negatively, and partially negatively.
In a nutshell, NFRs cannot be defined or met absolutely in a clear-cut sense, i.e., soft.
Product- vs. process-oriented approaches:
In science, objective measurements are important. But, are we mature enough to do that in system/software engineering? Also, consider:
"Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." [Albert Einstein]
According to this wisdom, it seems we need to measure important NFRs and only if we can. For example, you wouldn't say "I love you 8 love units tonight". It also seems that we need to shift our emphasis from measuring how well NFRs are met by a system/software artifact to how to handle NFRs during the process of developing the artifact in such a manner that the resulting artifact can be measured well.
Rationalize decisions using NFRs:
A (functional) problem may be solvable in many different ways. For example, break entries may be stopped by having a security guard, a housedog, a fortified gate, a home security software system, etc. Similarly, a (functional) goal may be achievable in many different ways also. Which one do we decide to choose and how? We use NFRs as the criteria in making the decision on selecting among the (functional) alternatives. Furthermore, NFRs treated as softgoals naturally lead to the consideration of such alternatives, among which a selection is made.
How many NFRs are out there?
There can be many FRs. How about NFRs? If we go through a reasonably comprehensive dictionary and consider how many words can end with "-ility", "-ity", "-ness", etc., this might give a hint. It's not in the order of tens or even hundreds, but potentially thousands and tens of thousands. Alas, but we have resource limitations – a limited amount of time and money, our memory and reasoning capabilities, etc.

WMS Upgrade to A Modern DC
To keep up with the tremendous growth across the nation our client built a new distribution center to a very high standard and incorporated latest in automated material handling systems and processing work flows, on the west coast in order to serve existing retail stores as well as highly-anticipated future store openings.
Lack of in-depth technical knowledge of the product required to design and build a large-scale and highly complex warehouse management system using WM2008R0.
We took the multifaceted challenge that includes the integration of a existing homegrown Wave Planning tool, a highly-customized product Allocation and Picking/Packing process, a complex MHE integration, as well as ensuring that both their Retail business and booming Internet direct-to-consumer dot com business could co-exist within the same systematic warehouse environment.
Our consultants worked with software vendor, Manhattan Associates, and the client to come up with a technical design that supported the project plan and designed Wave Rules based solely on Route/Store demand, to a more Gender-based level (i.e.. – Men, Women, and Children).
Our team worked closely with Manhattan Associates for the design and programming of the MHE integration as well as the Allocation and Picking/Packing processes, we were solely responsible for total Quality Assurance for all Manhattan Associates software deliverable, implementation, and testing processes.
Additionally, Initechs ensured that all legacy interfaces and business reports were modified as needed to ensure compatibility with the new WM version. A lot of Mark Magic labels were also modified and created by Initechs based on newly defined business requirements.
Initechs took sole responsibility for the design, programming, and testing initiative to make this happen. The end-product was delivered well before the deadline and was an outstanding success.
A fully functional modern distribution center was made ready before time, which gave our client a ample of time to be ahead of the competition.

We, at Deloitte, have used this space several times to talk about the innovations that are affecting businesses, workers and even entire industries. We've talked about how robots are already taking over some HR functions; how businesses are borrowing liberally from the fields of science to improve their operations; how we all have to reconsider the way we develop talent in this age of big data.
Few, if any, sectors or functions are immune from the impact of advanced technology, and our practice of accounting and auditing is no exception.
Following the US Federal Aviation Administration's issuance last year of new rules covering the commercial use of drones, an officer of the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) said she expects the use of these unmanned aircraft to dramatically increase in the coming years, including that in the accounting profession.
Julia Morris, a project administrator for the AICPA State Regulatory and Legislative Affairs division, said firms such as ours may one day turn to drone technology to enhance routine audits or asset assessments. We can, for example, use a drone to fly over a client's manufacturing plants and take pictures and the accurate measurements of these assets. We can also use a drone to check if workers at a client's construction site are, indeed, complying with safety regulations in an effort to manage risk.
And these are just the possibilities with one specific technology.
For some time now, Deloitte has been investing in data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the effectiveness of its audit process.
The work of auditors involves a great deal of data acquisition, and once the data has been gathered, auditors follow structured processes and conduct rigorous checking to verify the accuracy of that data. This part of the audit process lends itself to automation, especially now that most, if not all, business records are kept in an electronic format and AI has gotten smarter, more sophisticated.
Machines can take over the time-consuming and tedious task of poring over purchase orders, payments, expenses and compensation, for example, to look for relevant information. Moreover, machines can go beyond what auditors typically do when gathering data, which is to take samples of populations.
With advanced technology, auditors can analyze all items in certain populations and, thereby, study the totality of a business, rather than just a cross section of it. Deloitte, for example, has a tool that automatically extracts contract provisions, allowing auditors to gather data at a faster rate and review more documents using less human labor.
Considering these benefits, it is no surprise that the market seems ready and eager to see the audit profession "go hi-tech" in its assurance work.
A Deloitte survey of more than 200 executives who are either involved in preparing financial statements or use these documents as part of their work revealed that virtually all respondents strongly agree that more advanced technologies should be used in audits. Another survey by the World Economic Forum, which looked into the tipping point for several technology-driven business changes, asked over 800 executives when they think AI will be performing 30 percent of corporate audits. Seventy-five percent of the respondents think this will be a reality by 2025.
If you are an auditor and these developments have you worried about job security, don't be. As we've said again and again in this space, machines do not have to spell the end of the human worker. Instead, auditors can leverage these tools to get the grunt work done in a more efficient manner so that they can focus on what humans do best: carefully review the data, analyze it, and then render judgment backed up by years of knowledge and professional experience. That a drone or a robot helped you arrive at your conclusion is just an added perk of what is shaping up to be a hi-tech job.

EDITOR'S NOTE: A previous version of this story identified a fifth juvenile as being charged as an adult in the killings. Only four of the five juveniles have been charged as adults.
A judge ordered four teenagers, who are charged as adults, to be held with no bond Saturday morning after they were arrested in connection to two murders in Lake Worth and a series of armed robberies.
Edwin Manzanarez, 17, Victor Hernandez Castro, 17, Henry Joel Cardoza, 16, and Jorge Santos Cruz, 17, each face charges of first-degree murder and robbery with a firearm. They were booked Friday night into the Palm Beach County Jail, where Saturday's hearing took place.
Victor Fuentes, 20, was arrested last month in the killings as was a 17-year-old who has not been charged as an adult.
RELATED: After killings and gunfire, a Lake Worth community reveals fear, anger
According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, the teens are linked to several armed robberies in the Lake Worth area and are suspects in homicides that took place on Oct. 30 and Nov. 5. All live in the country illegally and all could face deportation, sheriff authorities said at a news conference on Nov. 21.
The juveniles also may be linked to the Latino gang MS-13, whose members are known to target landscapers or farm workers who are paid in cash and do not have legal U.S. immigration documents.
Authorities started their investigation into the teens after a man was shot near the hip Oct. 29 close to the intersection of Third Avenue North and North E Street. The victim told deputies that he was walking home when an SUV pulled up next to him, and six people — one of them armed — got out of the car and robbed him. The gunman then shot him on the left side of his lower back and fled the scene with the others. The victim was rushed to a hospital in West Palm Beach and underwent "life-saving" surgery, authorities said.
A day later, on Oct. 30, Lucio Velaquez-Morales, 33, was shot to death in front of a house on South H Street, and six days later on Nov. 5, Octavio Sanches-Morales, 22, was robbed and killed on South F Street.
