BUTTE — The rollover crash near Butte of a semi truck hauling cattle has prompted the animal rights group People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to work toward putting up a billboard near the crash site.
"Our billboard reminds everyone that cows are intelligent, sensitive individuals who can feel pain and don't want to die whether that's on the road or at the slaughter house," said PETA representative Emily Raap from Virginia.
No people were injured in the rollover that happened at the Interstate 15-90 interchange on September 18th, but one of the 36 cows being hauled was killed.
PETA wants to promote a vegan diet with a billboard.
"Eating meat is completely unnecessary and that raising animals to be slaughtered means a lifetime of abuse and torment for the animals followed by a violent and painful death," said Raap.
Some people believe that putting a billboard up is just exploiting an unfortunate accident.
Craig Schuett, who works for Excelsior Meats in Butte, said, "I think they're just taking advantage a little bit of an accident, and accidents happen, people get in more car wrecks than cows do and get hurt."
And even when PETA puts up the billboard, people in the meat industry don't think the sign will have much impact on people in Montana who really like their meat.
"We're a state of rancher, hunters, we like meat, we get a majority of our income derived from ranching, farming industry," said Schuett.
PETA doesn't know when the billboard will go up but wants it near the crash site along I-15.

DES MOINES, Iowa – Under pressure from some members of press, local officials, and Iowa's Democratic members of Congress, Gov. Kim Reynolds, during a press conference on Tuesday afternoon at the State Emergency Operations Center in Johnston, Iowa, rebuffed calls for a stay at home order.
One member of the press asked Reynolds whether her messaging needs to be "more aggressive" in light of the director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention during an interview said that up to 25 percent of those with COVID-19 have no symptoms and can still spread the virus.
"I think we've been consistent in the messaging that we've been delivering to Iowans we all have a role to help keep our most vulnerable, vulnerable Iowans safe and healthy," Reynolds said.
"And it's also we've tried to put metrics in place that would start to flatten the curve so that we don't overwhelm our hospital systems that we make sure that we have the beds and the PPE and the equipment that we need to take care of Iowans. We're also working with the Department of Public Health as they're putting together metrics that will help us identify potentially what that peak may look like for Iowa and when that may occur so that we can start to monitor that and be prepared," she stated.
Sarah Riesetter, Deputy Director of the Iowa Department of Public Health, emphasized staying home as much as possible and to practice social distancing if someone has to go out.
"We do know the virus is circulating within our state at this particular point in time. So if you do need to leave your home, you should really practice social distancing. Because if somebody is ill, but they're asymptomatic you, you can protect yourself by making sure that when you do need to leave the home, that you stay at least six feet apart, that you avoid large gatherings. Certainly, gatherings of more than ten people should be avoided. And you should really stay home as much as possible if you don't have to be out and about," she said.
Another member of the press inferred Reynolds needed to have stronger messaging since some people with COVID-19 are asymptomatic.
She emphasized what Reisetter said and then encouraged Iowans to limit the amount to times they go out and only go out for essentials. Reynolds said only one person in a household should buy groceries and encouraged Iowans to buy enough to cut down on how many times they go. She urged Iowans to practice good personal hygiene and to check on loved ones to make sure they are doing ok.
"I can't lock the state down. I can't lock everybody in their home. We have to make sure that the supply chain is up and going. We have an essential workforce that has to be available. And so people also have to be responsible for themselves," Reynolds said.
If everyone Iowan limited their trips and minimized the number of people they are around, she said the state would, hopefully, be able to flatten the curve, get through the public health emergency, and "stand the economy back up."
Reynolds also recommended that adults practice social distancing even when outside and encouraged parents to supervise their children to ensure they are not playing in large groups and practicing social distancing as well.
She also stated that they are avoiding implementing additional statewide orders so they can see where the hot spots in the state are so they can provide additional support for those cities and counties.
Currently, Linn County has the most COVID-19 cases, but 30 of their cases are directly linked to an outbreak in one long-term care facility. She said IDPH is providing support and resources to that facility.
Reynolds included Brent Wallet from the Iowa Healthcare Association and Sharon Strickler from Leading Age Iowa in her press conference to discuss what their organizations are doing to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in long-term care facilities.

Sheep, beef and deer farmers now have the opportunity to prove their sustainability credentials with the launch of a new quality assurance standard.
New Zealand Farm Assurance Plus (NZFAP Plus), which builds on the existing New Zealand Farm Assurance Programme (NZFAP), includes a focus on people, farm, natural resources and biodiversity.
Nick Beeby, chair of New Zealand Farm Assurance Inc, says NZFAP Plus is the culmination of three years of work in response to expectations from customers, consumers and government.
"NZFAP Plus is about demonstrating and communicating to New Zealand and an international audience that the New Zealand red meat and wool sectors are farming sustainably and ethically.
"It is a platform to create more sustainable and prosperous farming businesses by understanding resources and supporting continuous improvement through the adoption of appropriate practices.
"NZFAP Plus was initially developed by the Red Meat Profit Partnership (RMPP), a Primary Growth Partnership programme involving the Ministry for Primary Industries, Beef + Lamb New Zealand, six meat processors and two major banks.
"Meat processing companies have worked collaboratively to build a programme that will ensure New Zealand farmers retain their domestic social licence to operate and market access globally by demonstrating environmental custodianship."
Megan Mounsey-Smith, NZFAI General Manager, says the programme has been piloted with 30 farmers and feedback has been positive.
"Many of those in the pilot were already doing some or most of the work and it was simply a matter of recording and providing evidence to support their management practices.
"While NZFAP Plus aligns with some new regulations, it does not replace or supersede regulations. The new programme is an entirely voluntary standard that has been developed to support access to markets internationally. It is very much market-driven with consumers increasingly wanting to know where their food is coming from and how it is being produced. NZFAP Plus helps address these concerns.
"We encourage those farmers interested in finding out more about NZFAP Plus to get in touch with their meat or wool processing company."
Southland sheep and beef farmer Jason Miller, who was involved in the NZFAP Plus pilot, says the programme aligns with the future direction of travel for the sector.
"NZFAP Plus delivers you a template that provides a robust quantitative approach, combined with high levels of integrity, to deliver highly sustainable farming systems."
The programme is aligned with Beef + Lamb New Zealand's Farm Plan to avoid duplication and provides tools and resources to support farmers in working towards meeting the standards.
To take part in the programme, farmers need to have completed NZFAP, the foundation programme. They can then apply to become a member of NZFAP Plus and will carry out an initial self-assessment to determine what aspects of their business they need to work on. They then have up to three years to meet the required standards and be audited by an AsureQuality independent auditor.
The cost of the certification audit is covered by NZFAI member companies with whom farmers have a relationship.
A comprehensive handbook has been developed to support farmers as they work towards their NZFAP Plus certification, along with a number of other tools and resources. The NZFAP Plus Standard and Handbook can be found on the www.nzfap.com website.
NZFAI is an incorporated society that is a collaboration of 16 meat processing companies, 23 wool companies, Beef + Lamb New Zealand and Deer Industry New Zealand.

SEATTLE — Retailers and suppliers have the potential to collaborate on several areas related to sustainability, according to a report from McKinsey & Co. that was released at an industry sustainability conference last month.
The report, called "Looking Around the Corner on Sustainability in Retail and CPG," by Steven Swartz, partner, McKinsey & Co., was presented at the 2013 Global Sustainability Summit, sponsored by the Food Marketing Institute/Grocery Manufacturers Association Trading Partner Alliance.
Whole Health is a quarterly special report by Supermarket News examining news and trends in health and wellness.
• Pressure Rising: Importing Organic Feed From China
• Industry Voices: Filling the Sustainable Shopping Cart
• Report Cites Opportunities in Sustainability
• Spartan Pioneers Cooking/Nutrition Program for Kids
• Report Forecasts Major Trends in Natural Products
• Conscious Capitalism Takes Center Stage at Expo East
• M&A Activity Up in Nutrition, Health and Wellness
The report outlined three "major enablers" of excellence in company's sustainability initiatives:
1. Understanding the financial benefits of sustainability — Companies need to create an understanding of the long-term materiality of sustainability to the business.
2. Effective goal-setting — Companies need to focus on the few key sustainability areas with qualitative, long-term goals that are material to the business.
3. Performance management and accountability — Sustainability goals can be translated into KPIs (key performance indicators) and cascaded down through the organization.
The report included results from a poll of retailers, CPG companies/food manufacturers, consultants, associations and others. About 21% of respondents were retailers and 23% were CPG companies or food manufacturers. Most worked either in the sustainability/CSR (corporate social responsibility) functions — 44% of respondents — or were senior management (22%).
Among the findings, 48% of respondents said the pressure of short-term earnings performance is at odds with sustainability initiatives. In addition, 44% said that resources made available for sustainability initiatives are insufficient.
"Without understanding of financial value, it is very hard to obtain sufficient resources and long-term commitment to sustainability," the report concluded.
The report found that the No. 1 reason that participants cited for their inability to capture full value of sustainability was a lack of incentives tied to sustainability performance.
In addition, nearly 40% of respondents said that not enough people are accountable for sustainability at their company.
While 63% of respondents said they use sustainability-related KPIs to track progress, only 15% reported that sustainability KPIs were linked to employee financial compensation.
The report also found opportunities for collaboration on several regulatory/legislative issues, including agricultural labor conditions, animal rights/welfare, and antibiotics in meat.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held a hearing today on why the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) was denied a grant it typically receives from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to combat human trafficking.
The USCCB grant proposal was awarded a score of 89, yet it was denied the grant. Two other organizations, with scores of 74 and 69, were given a grant. The hearing sought to determine whether the USCCB's opposition to abortion referral killed its chances.
In his opening statement, George Sheldon, Acting Assistant HHS secretary for the Administration for Children and Families, said that "HHS did not establish a preference for grantees that would require each individual subgrantees to provide referrals for family planning and the full range of legally permissible gynecological and obstetric care."
The following exchange between Sheldon and Rep. Trey Gowdy calls into question Sheldon's veracity:
Rep. Trey Gowdy: "The truth be told, if the Catholic bishops had scored a 100, you still wouldn't have picked them."
George Sheldon: "That's not necessarily accurate."
Gowdy: "Well, would you have—if they scored a 100? Is an 89 not enough?"
Sheldon: "Well, I'm dealing with the facts in front of me."
Gowdy: "Assume this fact then: If they scored a 95, would that have been high enough?"
Sheldon: "I cannot without looking at the facts, the other applicants—I cannot respond to…."
Bill Donohue says, "Anyone who can't figure out what is going on with the Obama administration is either hopelessly partisan or in sheer denial."

EAGAN, Minn. – It's never ideal to see a teammate sidelined for practice, but Jaleel Johnson is trying to make the most of his opportunity.
Starting defensive tackle Shamar Stephen is currently on the non-football injury list, and Pro Bowl nose tackle Linval Joseph has not participated in team drills throughout the beginning of **Verizon Vikings Training Camp**.
Their absence on the interior of the defensive line has meant first-team reps for Johnson, who is entering his third NFL season.
"[I'm taking] full advantage. I try to use this moment as a stepping stone just to keep building, mentally and physically, every single day," Johnson told Twin Cities media members following Wednesday morning's walk-through. [But] with that, being able to talk to other guys who aren't out there practicing and playing, being able to get tips from those guys, it's been very, very helpful thus far."
Johnson primarily has been asked to play nose, but Vikings defensive line coach Andre Patterson coaches the defensive tackles to play that spot and the 3-technique spot if needed.
"Any inside guy here, we adapt to that," Johnson said. "That's what we do here as a defense, as a defensive line. Coach Dre's done a very good job of making sure that we're comfortable playing both [3-technique] and nose.
"Just because as of right now I'm at nose, it doesn't mean that I can't go in at 3-tech later in the year or early-on in the year; you never know," he later added.
Johnson, who played in all 16 games last season and started for an injured Joseph against the Jets, was asked if he has a preference or feels more comfortable at either of the interior positions.
"To be completely honest, whatever gets me out on the field to play and contribute, whether it be nose or 3-techniqe," Johnson responded. "It doesn't really matter to me."
The defensive line group is a deep one, and while the starting four seem to be set in stone, there is plenty of competition for the rotational spots behind that group.
"Nothing's ever given, really, so I use this time right now to focus on the things that I can control," Johnson said. "It's a long camp, so we'll see what happens by the end."
Vikings Defensive Coordinator George Edwards said consistency is what is being stressed to the young interior defensive linemen who have had multiple flash plays and other plays that haven't been as strong.
Edwards added that the Vikings like the aggressiveness that Johnson has shown.
"The thing we talk about and try to emphasize to him right now, I know Coach Patterson is emphasizing it, we're all emphasizing it, is being consistent," Edwards said. " 'Do your job, but then let's get off the block and go make a play.' I think he's got the ability, he's shown the ability to do that. We're trying to get him to do that, not just in a game but every day at practice and understand exactly what we're asking him to do within the scheme of things."
Quote of the Day
"I think … when you're around a team that thinks about expectations or talks about it a lot in the locker room or to the media, what have you, I think that's when you're not playing your best football. I think teams that usually win Super Bowls or are playoff teams consistently just come out here, bust their tail and are not worried about that. I think that's the mindset that this team has right now."
– Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen on blue-collar mentality of the 2019 Vikings

It is no secret that the journey to becoming a successful doctor requires strenuous efforts but making it to a medical school is also not a cakewalk. Even a bottom-tier medical school has admission requirements that applicants must meet to study medicine. You are expected to go through a lot of hard work, dedication, commitment, and inevitably long, thankless hours of study to get into medical schools. Read on to find out more about medical school admission requirements. This blog is a step-by-step guide for students considering getting into a medical school.
Caribbean medical schools
In this competitive landscape, getting into the US or Canadian medical school is an arduous task. The ultra-low acceptance rates at excellent medical schools and a larger number of applications make it hard for medical aspirants to secure a seat. Thus, Caribbean medical schools can be a less expensive alternative for prospective doctors.
The island medical schools appeal to many international students who want to practice medicine in US hospitals. It may surprise you, but students of fully accredited Caribbean medical schools enjoy the same privilege as American and Canadian medical schools. So, do you have what it takes to attend a top-tier Caribbean medical school?
Top medical school admission requirements
1. Pre-Med Coursework
Aspirants must have completed one year each with the laboratory in general biology, zoology, inorganic chemistry, and organic chemistry. Apart from this, students must demonstrate their proficiency in the English language with at least one year of college-level English literature. Students must have a broad background in humanities, social science, computer skills. Students with additional coursework in biology get preference in admissions.
Taking Medical Common Admission Test (MCAT) is compulsory for US students to attend medical schools in the Caribbean. Students with outdated required science coursework, usually more than five years old, are strongly recommended to take the MCAT. Besides this, MCAT is compulsory for students who have completed required science coursework at a community college or have scored a 'C' grade or lower in required science courses.
3. Good TOEFL scores
English is the medium of instruction in most of the top universities in the Caribbean. Therefore, proficiency in reading, writing, and communicating is necessary to acquire medical education in the Caribbean. Aspirants are required to take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) to prove their English language proficiency.
4. Patient Care Experience
Before accepting your application, medical schools ask for at least 50 hours of direct patient care experience besides voluntary experience in a hospital setting. Clinical experiences are considered a crucial part of the holistic admission process. Students can also gain clinical experiences before their enrollment.
5. Undergraduate degree in the science field
Three-four years of an undergraduate degree from a recognized university is essential to apply for medical schools. Medical applicants can also have completed 90 semester hours or 135 quarter hours to fulfill the medical school admission requirements.
If your qualification aligns with these five medical school admission requirements, you are ready to become the future big-shot doctor. So, explore top Caribbean medical schools to make the best decision for your career. Sign up now!

The buildup to Kyle Hendricks' return to the Chicago Cubs went beyond the weeks and months that flipped by, intertwined with the highs and lows of a grueling rehab process.
Even the typically unflappable Hendricks admitted to an emotional Thursday leading up to his first big-league start in nearly 11 months. It all came down to managing everything within the buildup: his emotions, the speed of the game and execution of pitches.
"It was just so fulfilling to finally get back out there on that field," Hendricks said. "See the fans, run out on the field with my teammates, just the little things. I took it all in. You don't take that for granted."
Two hours before Hendricks stepped on the mound against the New York Mets, pitching coach Tommy Hottovy outlined one goal he had for the veteran.
It didn't center on numbers — pitching line or velocity — but rather how Hendricks would respond to adversity in what wound up as a 10-1 Cubs loss.
"Anybody can pitch when things are going well," Hottovy said. "I want to see him, if he gets out of whack mechanically on a pitch or he loses a couple, how quick he can make those adjustments. When he's at his best, he'll miss one and then lock it right back in right away.
"Obviously we're not expecting him to be midseason form, peak Kyle, but his ability to make those adjustments and stick to what he needs to do in those moments is going to be key.
"It's been almost a year since he pitched in a game here. He's going to be pretty excited and how can you handle those moments? And how can you handle the ability to make those adjustments when you need to?"
The Mets tested Hendricks early in his first start since July 5, loading the bases in the first inning and taking a 1-0 lead on a Brett Baty sacrifice fly. Hendricks quickly bounced back with a perfect second, featuring two strikeouts.
He felt more like himself that inning as he got back to focusing on one pitch at a time. It might be a cliche, but it's a mantra Hendricks relies on to stay within the moment.
"The first inning was a little bit all over the place," Hendricks said. "I was able to just get through it and battle and then was able to make a lot of good pitches from there on out.
"There's some good things to build on, but obviously some frustration never giving us a chance tonight."
He started strong again in the third with two outs, including another strikeout. But the Mets responded with four consecutive singles to score three runs and take a 4-1 lead; one run was unearned because of a Seiya Suzuki throwing error.
Hendricks again settled in the next inning, retiring the Mets in order in the fourth. He came back out for the fifth and struck out Francisco Lindor before allowing a single to Jeff McNeil and hitting Pete Alonso with a pitch. Brandon Hughes relieved him and allowed one runner to score on an error.
The Mets made Hendricks work, forcing him to throw 86 pitches to get through 4⅓ innings in which he allowed five runs (three earned), six hits and two walks and struck out five. He became the 12th player to pitch for the Cubs in at least 10 seasons and the first since Kerry Wood in 2012.
"It's almost like a breath of fresh air when you get to see him around and what he's meant to this organization," Hottovy said. "I've seen him almost since he made his debut here, so it's been fun to get to see his career. And now to have him back, you feel like you have the pieces to your puzzle back together."
Hendricks hopes he can get back to his normal routine with his season debut out of the way. The whiffs he produced down in the zone with his changeup and 15 called strikes between his sinker and four-seam fastball were encouraging signs.
"Everything works off of that," Hendricks said. "So I was happy to see some of those at least and had some foundational things that were there. Just need to kind of sharpen everything up."
Nick Madrigal became the odd man out in the Cubs infield mix with Hendricks' return.
The Cubs had carried an extra position player while using a four-man rotation since Hayden Wesneski's demotion to Triple-A Iowa on May 15. Hendricks coming off the injured list Thursday meant the bench needed to be trimmed.
Madrigal was the casualty, optioned to Iowa as the corresponding move.
Manager David Ross said Madrigal took the news professionally and they had a good conversation in which Ross outlined his vision for Madrigal's future. It starts with regular playing time in Triple A at second and third base.
"We knew where we saw him and we knew where he stood in his thoughts," Ross said. "Nick is a really high-level player. We want to get him back to the best version of him because that's when we're going to be at our best."
Madrigal's fit on the Cubs roster took a hit when they signed shortstop Dansby Swanson to a seven-year, $177 million deal in December, forcing Nico Hoerner to move back to second base. Madrigal spent the rest of the offseason learning third base to improve his defensive flexibility and create a path toward playing time. Bench coach Andy Green traveled to Arizona to work with Madrigal for a week.
Madrigal held his own at third in 16 starts. The Cubs took note of how he continued to put in work defensively.
"The thing I'm most proud of for him is the way he took to third base," Ross said. "He's played a great third base, really clean over there. That's hard to do. That's kind of gone unnoticed publicly. I just keep marveling at the ability for him to make so many different types of plays and the arm strength and how he's built that up and the way his body's moving."
Madrigal's contact-hitter profile provides value when he's locked in. During his two seasons with the White Sox before hamstring surgery and a trade across town, Madrigal showed he can get on base enough without a high walk rate. That hasn't happened enough in a Cubs uniform.
The team hopes he can get his timing back with regular at-bats at Iowa. In 98 plate appearances this year, Madrigal hit .247 with a .286 on-base percentage and 63 OPS+.
Patrick Wisdom and Miles Mastrobuoni will continue to get most of the playing time at third base with Christopher Morel seeing most of his at-bats as the designated hitter.

I am relaying a message from Stephanie Dearing who emailed me tonight:
Hi Bill, saw this bird this morning, its call attracted me - thought I was hearing a cooper's hawk, saw it fly around a pond in southern Brant County, these were the only pics I got, not great, but good enough for id. I believe it is a black-necked stilt. I saw it at Elliot Road and it flew south. I hoped I might see it again, as I was going south to Waterford, but I didn't see it again
Stephanie forwarded two flying shots and it is an obvious Black-necked Stilt. I would attach them here but unfortunately OntBirds does not do photos. Pity.
She saw it at a pond along the Waterford-Brantford Rail Trail (not sure formal name) at Elliott Rd, Brant County.
Stephanie is an infrequent eBird user and is having trouble entering the record and she will try again tomorrow.

A photographer named Kate Barry came from a royal family that was associated with the Parisian society. Her mother, Jane Birkin, was a muse, actress, and singer. Her father, John Barry, was an English composer who composed the theme songs for eleven James Bond films, including the main theme song.
As for Kate, she is less recognizable to the mainstream public but she has still produced work which is beloved in the fashion industry, film industry, and music industry.
Kate got into photography as a kid after her own photograph was taken a lot. She made it big as a fashion photographer and got to work for a variety of fashion magazines, including Vogue, Paris Match, Elle, the Sunday Times Magazine, and Le Figaro Madame.
Since she was around all kinds of creative people throughout her childhood, it was easy for her to be creative with her photography. She produced the album covers for a lot of famous French singing talents, such as Carla Bruni and Vanessa Paradis.
Kate had a distinct style of photography. She liked to photograph women in a natural and sexy way. Most of all, she aimed to capture real moments of the women when they were not expecting to be photographed and didn't have a fake smile on their face.
In 2013, Kate fell from the 4th floor of her apartment in Paris and died from what appeared to be a suicide.

Cyborg Skin
From the egg-like membrane of her head to the crescent-mooned toes on her feet, her skin was yielding and not synthetic; soft and warm, it responded to my touch.
She was programmed to be forever childlike but she possessed an adult logic, a precociousness lacking innocence, as if she knew my every thought;
a hint of malevolence behind eyes so blue and enthusiastic disguised by her childish smile.
No babies for would-be single mothers, broody women in a world without fathers, nothing to remind those left behind what it's like to create humankind;
just the maternal feeling that blooms from within when caressing your adopted child's cyborg skin.

Here are the FDL Action health care reform highlights for Tuesday, November 3.
1. Ben Tribbett explains "What Happened in Virginia?" In part, Tribbett blames it on Democratic gubernatorial candidate Creigh Deeds "bashing federal Democratic priorities like "Cap and Trade" and health care reform to appeal to the conservatives that were headed to the polls." Brilliant.
2. Jane Hamsher blogs about Rep. Jason Altmire (D-Pa.), who "seems to think that if Democrats get their asses kicked [in elections] today, it just proves he's right about everything." Specifically, Altmire seems to think that "if the results show Republicans have a pretty good night, that probably is going to lead some Democrats to think that, going into next year, we need to take a second look at the way that we've done a lot of bills we've addressed up to this point." Hamsher responds, "Give me a minute while I clean my keyboard of all the coffee that just came out my nose." Heh.
3. Jon Walker comments on the "Failure Of Blue Dogging" in New York's 23rd District, writings that Bill Owens "was selected because he fit the Rahm Emanuel philosophy that the only way for Democrats to win right-leaning districts is with conservative Democratic candidates." Walker concludes, "If [Democrats] want to remain in power, they need to show the regular people that they are working to make their lives better." Like on health care reform, including a robust public option, perhaps? 🙂
4. Jon Walker wonders if "Majority Leader Harry Reid has reached some sort of secret deal with Joe Lieberman (I-CT)," adding that "[i]f Reid sells out the base again to appease Lieberman, he has much more to worry about than trying to get 60 votes for cloture." You can say that again.
5. Jon Walker reports that "[t]wo new polls released yesterday show plurality support for the public option in both Nebraska and North Carolina." What's particularly striking is that " Nebraska is one of the most conservative states in the country and is represented by the most conservative Democratic senator, Ben Nelson" – who does not support the public option. Apparently, Ben Nelson isn't listening very well to the voters of his state (or he simply doesn't care?).
6. Jon Walker comments on the Republican "alternative" health care bill, which he calls "a meaningless, very long press release, filled with some really bad ideas." I don't know about you, but I'm personally shocked – SHOCKED, I tell you! – that John Boehner and Eric Cantor would have come up with anything "meaningless" or with "really bad ideas" in it. (extreme snark and eye rolls)

Jack Sharman and Bridget Harris Author Bloomberg Law Insight Article on the 'Perp Walk' in White-Collar Prosecutions
February 13, 2019
By: Jackson R. Sharman III and Bridget E. Harris
Lightfoot, Franklin & White LLC partner Jack Sharman and associate Bridget Harris recently co-authored an article published by Bloomberg Law.
The Bloomberg "Insight" piece titled "Roger Stone, the Perp Walk, and Shame's Role in White-Collar Cases" examines the use of perp walks by enforcement agencies and what lawyers can do to protect clients from being paraded in front of the media.
They wrote the article in light of the recent arrest of Roger Stone, a longtime adviser to President Donald Trump. Stone was taken into custody after an indictment was unsealed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
"Prosecutors often argue that perp walks are appropriate because they 'send a message' that white-collar offenders are treated the same as any other offender. The government claims that an executive in handcuffs has a bracing effect on other businesspeople and will deter wrongdoing," write Sharman and Harris. "The media-consuming American public has a certain schadenfreude about perp walks. They are sure to continue."
Sharman and Harris are both members of Lightfoot's White-Collar Criminal Defense and Corporate Investigations practice.
Sharman has practiced law for more than 30 years and was the former special counsel to the House Banking Committee during its Whitewater investigation of President Bill Clinton in the 1990s. In 2016, he was appointed as special counsel to the Alabama House Judiciary Committee for the impeachment investigation of former Alabama Governor Robert Bentley.
Harris focuses her practice on product liability, catastrophic injury, and white-collar criminal defense and corporate investigations. She is actively involved with DRI and serves on Lightfoot's Diversity Committee.

Keep on reading and cook some of our suggestions of spicy dishes that you could serve on a cold rainy day.
1. Sisig
Sisig is a famous pulutan, but since we Filipinos love rice we can also serve it with rice. Modern day Sisig was recreated somewhere in Pampanga, I assume that it went through a lot of modifications as there are a lot of varieties of sisig, you can see them served on a sizzling plate, some are served warm the regular way on a bowl or dish, some serve it with ground chicharon on top, some even serve it with chopped lechon kawali on top. It is made of boiled and roasted pork face which includes the ears, cheeks, and jaw mixed with chicken liver, garlic, onion, and Calamansi. Sometimes this is served in a sizzling and hot plate for a crunchy flavor. Sisig is best served with chopped chilies to bring out that sour and spicy blend.
2. Spicy Shrimp Gambas
Gambas is a Spanish word referring to prawns. To make your buffet table more pleasing and overwhelming, add a dish of seafood. While there are people who are allergic to seafood, serving seafood is still a good and healthy option. Spicy Shrimp Gambas is pan cooked on high heat with garlic and onion, Your special chili sweet sauce is then added. The spicy flavor will seep deep into the shrimps, making every bite a burning joy.

This is the ultimate dish with its heavy amount of chilies. Bicol express is a toss of meat, seafood, and vegetables cooked generously in gata or coconut milk. It is then added with green chilies or other varieties of chili as long as the spicy flavor will stand out. Although Bicol Express has a lot of variations even where it came from. Serve it during your party and the floor will burn with excited guests.
4. Spicy Sinigang
SInigang can be cooked with different ingredients, be it Chicken, Pork, Bangus, and Shrimps. As long as the asim-kilig factor is there, Sinigang is a great option during a rainy day.

Yes, your guests will be fanning themselves with this incredibly sour and spicy soup that will conquer any frosty and humid weather. A sip of the soup is enough to make your guests hyper and wanting for more.

A BUSY couple who put a date in their diary to ensure they have sex are becoming increasingly panicked as it draws closer.
Francesca Johnson and Martin Bishop, who read an article about 'scheduling intimacy', are both secretly hoping something will terrible will happen that allows them to get out of it.
Johnson said: "I think I still fancy Martin but all the rigmarole of taking my clothes off and doing it feels a bit pointless when we could be watching an episode of Succession.
"I suppose that's why we decided to put a date in the diary. It seemed like a good idea at the time but now it's looming over us like an appointment for a root canal filling.
"So I'm hoping that he'll have an accident or something. Nothing too serious, just a broken leg that will need a plaster cast and make sex too awkward to bother with for several months.
"I think he's hoping the same thing happens to me. He was standing suspiciously close behind me on the stairs this morning."
Bishop said: "I'm worried I've forgotten how to do it. Should I lick her nose or is that weird? Hopefully she'll sprain both her wrists in a minor car accident and I can stick with nice, safe internet porn."

Huawei Nova 5i confirmed to have Google Play certification, along with Honor 20 and 20 Pro
Recently, Huawei became subject to a ban on doing business with US firms. This cost the OEM a lot, including normal business dealings with ARM, Qualcomm and Google. The last of these has been also reported to come with a loss of the certification necessary to run Android on its mobile devices. This may have been particularly jarring for smartphone customers who worry about losing access to 1 of the 2 most popular software ecosystems should they buy hardware from the company.
However, these potential fears seem to be unfounded for now. A scan of the current Google Play Certified list reveals that devices from Huawei, as well as its sub-brand Honor, are still present on it. This includes the 20 and 20 Pro, Honor's new flagships for 2019. It indicates that these phones will continue to be able to download apps from the Play Store, benefit from Google Play Protect, and generally behave like standard Android phones.
Honor has recently released a statement asserting as much. On the other hand, there are indications that Huawei's Android license in general may be revoked on August 19, 2019. Conversely, the Huawei Nova 5i, part of a new smartphone series that is available to the Chinese market only so far, is also now on this list. This may be a sign that devices from this OEM will retain Google Play Certification, at least in the short term.
On the other hand, it is odd that the 5i has not yet been joined by the rest of its line. A possible explanation for this is that the Nova 5 runs the brand-new Kirin 810 SoC. On the other hand, the Nova 5 Pro is powered by the Kirin 980 processor, which should be familiar enough to Google staff by now.

United States or United States Virgin Islands ? Vote for the TOP Country of the Week !
Give me an old farm, with its stone-walls draped with Poison-Ivy and Glycine, and verdurous with a mixed array of Viburnums, Hazels, and other wild shrubbery, harboring thousands of useful birds, and smiling over the abundant harvests which they surround, before the finest artistical landscape in the world!
Half asleep, they could hear the joyous crickets chirping and the showers falling; the breath of the autumn earth honeysuckle, clematis, glycine, and new-mown hay filled the house and soothed their senses. The silence of the night. In the distance dogs barked. Cocks crowed. Dawn comes.
We needed not only the essential bulk chemicals, such as amidol, metol, para-amidophenol, and glycine, but also certain rarer substances, such as the photographic sensitisers, which were so essential for the Air Force.
For a second mental images hovered tremblingly at the back of his mind, like a light flickering and dying down ... a house in the country with glycine on the walls: a garden where a child was playing: a boy lying on the turf: a little fountain plashing in its stone basin: a little girl laughing.... They drove out of Paris. They crossed the vast plains of France shrouded in mist.
"Yes, but that room with two windows, on the second story " "I know it, we call it the glycine room. But how will you find it? There are three staircases and a labyrinth of passages. I can give you the clue and explain the way to you, but you would get lost just the same." "Come with me," said Beautrelet, laughing. "I can't. I have promised to go to my mother in the South."
We gathered the ripened seeds of several beautiful species of glycine from New Holland, which the governor of Cumana, Mr. Emparan, had successfully cultivated, and which grow wild on the coasts of South America. The only fine port of the Canary Islands is that of St.
Down the lawns of the villas flowed streams of purple anemones and sheets of violets. The glycine clambered up the umbrella-shaped pines, and the wind blowing over the city brought the scent of the roses of the Palatine. They went for walks together.

The Simplicity of the Bullish Retest Gap
Traders from around the planet, I hope you are doing remarkable!
In this article I want to cover the simplicity of 1 specific type of gap. The bullish retest gap; and we're going to cover it on a swing trading level.
The reason I look for gaps is because gaps cause emotion and therefore, a higher probability of direction. That's what I'm looking for in a swing trade initially; 'Did the stock gap?'. The bullish retest gap is easy to spot. I am looking for a bullish candle that gapped up.
And bam! That's it. Feel free to close the book on this one. I use these gaps on 'normal stocksâ€. You know, the big names. AMZN, AAPL, TSLA, NFLX, and so on. Realistically, this gap simply gives me an outlook of the sentiment.
The sentiment = traders bought the day before. How do we know this? Because there was a bullish candle. Anytime there is a bullish candle on any day, we know that someone in the world bought at that price level. The stock closed higher than it opened so that's a bullish, or 'buying†day.
If the stock gaps up unexpectedly, those who bought on the previous day usually sell. This selling causes the stock to pause, rest, retest, or pull back. You can use whatever terminology here you want. What's important to understand is that at some point, the stock does retest the gap. Meaning, if you're looking to get into the trade one could say 'Okay, this was a retest gap, I'm going to wait for a pull back before getting inâ€. Understanding these types of gaps massively helps us understand the timing of entering a trade.
Below is a recent chart of TSLA showing you two retest gaps. And on both gaps, the stock did retest the gap, pulling back some, giving another (potentially better) entry then buying hours or so after the initial gap up itself.
This article might arouse some questions! I hope it does. Feel free to watch one of my more popular videos to gain a tad more insight into how I personally swing trade these gaps.

The Canon EOS 700D – or Canon Rebel T5i as it's known in some territories – is Canon's latest DSLR. Find out how it fares in the What Digital Camera Canon EOS 700D full review
Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i Review
Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i review – Verdict
With a virtually identical kit price to its closest competitor, the Nikon D5200, it's fair to say that the Canon EOS 700D is competitively priced.
For those looking to upgrade from an existing EOS DSLR, unless it's a EOS 500D or earlier triple-digit EOS, it's hard to recommend. In most respects its identical to its predecessor – the Canon EOS 650D – with the exception of a couple of cosmetic changes and a real-time preview of Creative Filters, and with this in mind upgraders should perhaps look further up the EOS ladder.
For new users though looking at their first DSLR, then the Canon EOS 700D is one of the best options out there. It's a very polished and refined camera that, while it may not excel in every area, will deliver the good across a range of shooting conditions.

This Turkey Fryer Cooks Perfectly and Needs ZERO Oil!
Char-Broil has finally solved the biggest problems with turkey fryers – the cost, safety issues, and disposal of the massive amount of oil that traditional units require.
The Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-less Turkey Fryer cooks Turkey, Chicken and more perfectly and quickly and you won't need $40.00+ worth of oil, that you'll likely throw out afterward, to cook.
- Oil-less Turkey Fryer offers a healthier way to cook
- Powered by Char-Broil TRU-Infrared cooking technology delivering juicy results inside and a crispy outside every time.
- Prepare perfect whole turkeys, chicken, or roasts up to 16 pounds
- No hot oil to burn, splatter, or spill- save money and stress without having to purchase or dispose of any oil
- Includes cooker, cooking basket with lifter, meat thermometer, lid and quick start cooking guide
The "Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-less Turkey Fryer" is available at a great price (just $99.00) making it the perfect gift for Christmas!
The Char-Broil Big Easy TRU-Infrared Oil-less Turkey Fryer is the stress-free way to fry your turkey, roast, or other cuts of meat. With no hot cooking oil to purchase, splatter, or dispose of, the Char-Broil Big Easy gives you a delicious, safe, and simple alternative to frying with oil. The Big Easy utilizes Char-Broil's TRU Infrared technology, which eliminates hot and cold spots, and delivers juicy, crisp, and flavorful results every time. The fully-enclosed 16,000 BTU propane burners sit inside of a double-wall cylindrical cooking chamber, which generates infrared heat that circles the cooker to penetrate and cook the meat evenly, sealing in juices. The result is a turkey or meat that is moist on the inside and crispy on the outside, without the hassle or added fat and calories of oil. And because your food is cooked with infrared heat, not heated oil like others, you can prepare your bird or meat with seasoned rubs or injectable marinades- both of which are not an option with traditional fryers. The Big Easy allows you to safely cook a turkey (up to 16 lbs.) or chicken in about 8 to 10 minutes per pound, or use it to prepare a variety of other items including roasts, ribs, pork tenderloin, or other large cuts of meat.
I wish I had this the last two years for the Thanksgiving holiday. We are remodeling our home and only had a small counter oven for making the turkey so we were limited to a small turkey. This can handle up to a 16 pound turkey.
So far we've done practice runs on a roast, a fryer chicken and a turkey breast. The turkey breast turned out the best because we'd started to figure more out. Neither of us had cooked a bird like this before so we watched some online videos first for tips on even cooking, not burning the outside, knowing when it was done etc. The fryer came with a small FAQ section in the grilling guide, but I think they could have expanded that a little with more tips and better before first use instructions.
Clean up is similar to a grill and there are good instructions in the guide.
One big perk to this will be sending my husband outside to cook the turkey while we have the kitchen to take care of the rest of the meal and the oven free. My husband actually said something similar to "this is bad bass" when first using it and hasn't seemed to lose his enthusiasm over it.
And if you're an outdoor cooking enthusiast, there are a ton of cooking accessories available for this amazing cooker.

"Over the last 30 or 40 years, the ownership of Oregon's forests has really shifted. Decisions are made by people who have never set foot on the ground" -Oregon State Senator Jeff Golden
Oregon has long been a frontier in the conflict between conservation and the timber industry. Last year, large timber companies, representing out-of-state investors earned record profits despite wildfires and the COVID-19 pandemic. Some Oregonians feel the industry plays an outsized role in public policy. State Senator Jeff Golden is the author of Senate Bill 335-3, a proposal which he believes will remove personal financial interest from public policy on the Board of Forestry.
KBOO's Ethan Sandweiss spoke with Golden to learn more about the bill and the intention behind the effort.

Is it necessary to wait for him or her to make that call first before arranging a assembly or do you both have to smartphone each other? You may have lost conversation with the majority of your relatives for sure and probably your mother and father as well who are living in other states are probably dead at this point too.
Luckily, you can now viewpoint multiple international marriages employing online dating products and chatting with others while chatting over the internet. These international marriage sites enable you to access multiple photos of people and perhaps their background. As a consequence you are able to get multiple fits and reach choose one that best suits you and your spouse. These types of dating sites help you to view multiple profiles at once, this means an individual click through numerous photos. This is one of the main reasons these sites are usually more popular compared to the regular ones because the people don't have to hold out to see if anybody they want to get in touch with is available.
An additional of these overseas matrimonial sites is that an individual go through all of that trouble of composing out albhabets, emails and in many cases voice estafette to talk to the persons interested in locating a life partner for lifetime. All you have to carry out is simply how to find a mail order bride register online and you're spots. The foreign matrimonial sites will likely then handle many methods from sending out the invitations and posting them to your beloved one's snail mail box.
While some of these sites let you perspective multiple photographs of those you are considering, others enable you to view a single photo only. When you're using the sites for business uses, these are a sensible way to let persons know you are dynamic and living outside of your property country. Many of the foreign matrimonial sites let you choose whether you would like to speak by telephone or email only. Although these may not always be as fast as a few live interaction methods, they can be a much better strategy to you to use.
The foreign marriage sites work perfectly for those who want to get a life mate international because they give you the freedom to look for profiles and never have to meet the brides to be face to face. For example , if the wife and spouse are segregated by the half the world you visit, this makes it easier to just send all of them an email that states "I hope you are going to accept our recent relationship invitation". Whilst this does indeed eliminate the have to make a phone call and have your own meeting with the folks you're interested in, it may well still take some time before you really hear from them. For some, this can be still preferable to the risk of achieving the wrong person while you're overseas.
When it comes to locating a suitable spouse for marital life, using ship order brides can be quite a viable remedy. This is perfect for those seeking to meet somebody they are genuinely in love with and wish to spend the rest of their lives with. However , there are always drawbacks to this technique. You run the risk of assembly frauds or perhaps individuals who not necessarily who it is said they are. Finding a suitable partner for your offshore wedding can be possible if you use the internet as opposed to traditional methods.

Zachary Taylor, born and raised in Kentucky, was the son of a respected and prosperous planter. Although his family was in high social standing, he had little education and was barely able to read or write.
Helped by his family's position, he received a commission to the Army in 1808 and was stationed on the frontier. He gained the nickname "Old Rough and Ready" because he never seemed to be bothered by the heat of battle or the physical hardships of life on the frontier. By the time the Mexican War began, Taylor was in command of an army of four thousand troops. He won numerous victories in the war, culminating in the capture of Monterrey and his victory at Buena Vista, where the Mexican Army outnumbered his troops three to one. He was not a brilliant strategist, and most of his victories were the result of a combination of his determination and mistakes by the enemy. Regardless, he became a popular military hero.
The Whig party, seeking a candidate for the election of 1848, sought out Taylor. Riding his popularity, he was elected without anything resembling a political platform. He became known as a president incapable of grasping the complexity of issues. In the growing controversy over slavery, of which Taylor was a defender, he enflamed the issues by steadfastly holding to his insistence that the institution of slavery would not be an issue in the newly acquired territories from Mexico due to a lack of rainfall there. He proposed quickly organizing the territories into two free states, New Mexico and California, and by-passing the normal polital route for entry as states. When Henry Clay proposed a compromise plan in 1850, Taylor, whose nature was to be highly suspicious of the motives of others, believed it to be a plan to undermine his authority and held fast to his plan. Later that year he died of a sudden attack of cholera and his vice president, Millard Fillmore, became president.
New Mexico did not become a state until 1912.
In 1991, Taylor's descendants had his body exhumed due to rampant rumors regarding the possibility that he had been poisoned with arsenic by pro-slavery fanatics. The scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee determined that the arsenic levels in Taylor's hair and fingernail samples were not abnormal. Hence, the rumors of "Old Rough and Ready's" death by poisoning were laid to rest.

With a very small budget Rendall & Wright were commissioned to revamp a small drinking pub into a restaurant/bar with garden and lounge. The brief was to create a fun, quirky space to appeal to all ages. The existing dining furniture should be reused and the bar renovated. Rachel designed new joinery, built in seating, new lounge furniture and decorations. The scheme, based on a modern take on William Morris style traditional wallpapers creates a cheeky, fun atmosphere. The bright pops of colour add life to a space which has little natural light. The new layout and repurposing of the rooms has created a building with natural flow and a greater seating capacity.
Rendall & Wright are an extremely knowledgeable and talented design solution. Their designs are fresh and sympathetic to the character of the building. They were highly professional, attentive and approachable. They delivered a first class service on a relatively small budget. We're thrilled with the results and so are our customers.

Fujifilm GFX100 Sensor Stabilization (IBIS): Beware Destruction of Image Sharpness on a Tripod
Awesome quality from the Fujifilm GFX100 on my trip (I am now back home). But a number of bugs and operational issues with the Fujifilm GFX100 cost me a lot of time and frustration. I worked around most issues, but Fujifilm needs to get its act together.
You always remember to turn off image stabilization when shooting on a tripod after shooting handheld, don't you? I mean, on a 14-hour daylong hike, you have perfect memory for setting it appropriately every time, right? Well, I don't, which is why I prefer to leave IBIS off rather than risk it.
In this example, the GFX100 cost me images that are multi-day effort to redo, and only then if weather conditions cooperate, even if I had a GFX100 to re-try.
Fujifilm GFX100 image stabilization (IBIS) can work wonders.
But it also does bad things, like destroy images taken on a tripod.
Fujifilm GFX100: Image Stabilization (IBIS) Damages or Destroys Images on Tripod
Context: all cameras with image stabilization (IBIS or optical) that I have tested all damage images when shot on a tripod at slower shutter speeds (one second or slower). The solution is pretty simple: disable image stabilization at some cutoff shutter speed or at the least warn the user. No camera does this, which is baffling.
High up at 12600' with a hike down in the dark over unstable terrain awaiting me, I took this 8-minute exposure (plus 8-minute LENR) a few hundred feet lower on a wondrously windless and warm early night—truly rare up here; I felt lucky. But the GFX100 had other ideas.
Frank D writes:
Just a quick FYI on my new Ricoh GR III camera that has options to disable IBIS when the timer is used for selfie or tripod shooting etc. The second option is the default in current firmware.
From Ricoh GR III Operating Manual page 90...
• If [Shake Reduction] is set to [Fn Button Setting] in the D2 menu, the Shake Reduction function can be turned on and off with button operation only. (p.123)
• When [Self-timer] is set in [Drive Mode], [Shake Reduction] is automatically set to [Off]. To fix the setting to [On], set [Auto SR Off ] to [Disable Auto SR Off ] in the A7 menu.All this reminds me of the fine work you did on the Ricoh GR II, HINT! Keep up the great work.
DIGLLOYD: the Ricoh engineers seem to think things through—I really liked the original Ricoh GR when I reviewed the Ricoh GR six years ago.

Let's consider this openssl
command :
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -pass pass:PASSWORD
Why is it important to have a good Key Derivation Function? This answer to another question suggest that GnuPG is preferable to Openssl because Openssl's KDF is weak. As far I my understanding goes, the only thing that is important to get in order to decrypt an encrypted file is the 256-bit key used by AES. Why is the way the password gets transformed into that 256-bit key so important?

w/ I Like Girls, Char Star, True Crime Authors
Hey Mr. Heckler Man. We suck? How about YOU SUCK. Do I come down to your place of employment and criticize the way you clean the toilets?
= adam =
Band cuteness factor was high this evening. Green's a good color for us. I'd like to tell you how we sounded not just how we looked, but some genius decided to move the PA speaker 30 feet away from the stage so that anyone standing in the corner playing the golf video game could hear instead of us. And it was one of the loudest crowds we've played to. But people didn't leave, not even the heckler, so I'll interpret that as proof positive that we are The Best Band In The World. Char Star can be The Second Best Band In The World.

Sticking doors are a common problem, and even though they often only take minutes to fix, most people will continue to struggle rather than sort it. Whether you never quite get around to it or you're not sure what to do, it makes more sense to address the issue rather than let it get worse!
Our More 4 Doors team has put together some super simple steps on how to fix sticking doors, so stop stalling, pick up your screwdriver and let's get to it!
Should You Repair or Replace?
First of all, assess the door hinges and decide whether they need a simple repair or replacing altogether. This judgement can be made in seconds; you should look out for any rust or corrosion, particularly on external doors. If rust, corrosion or excessive wear and tear is apparent, a replacement is on the cards.
Finding the Sticking Point
By finding the sticking point, you'll get to the root of the problem and be able to get your door repair underway. You can determine this by simply opening and closing the door a few times, keeping an eye out for where the door catches as you push and pull on it.
If the sticking point isn't clear, one handy tip is to apply chalk onto the edge of the door – you'll be able to spot the chalk on the door frame after opening and closing, quickly identifying the problem area.
More often than not, you'll find that the sticking point is related to the door latch and strike plate; other problem areas include loose hinges or the door jamb.
Repairing a Strike Plate
If you've identified the sticking point at the latch or strike plate, a repair won't take long. The strike plate is ordinarily the main culprit when it comes to a stuck door, it's prone to loosening over time through everyday wear and tear, but thankfully, it's also easy enough to remedy.
Take note of the screw size on the strike plate and grab a manual or electric screwdriver with the right fixture; tightening the screws thoroughly will result in the strike plate being realigned and your door should open and shut smoothly, sitting flush with the frame.
Fixing a Door Hinge
Should the door be sagging and hanging unevenly, the problem is likely to stem from your door's hinges. This is a common problem that occurs over time as people naturally drag on the door while opening and closing.
Thankfully, this is an easy fix. You'll be able to clearly see which screws have loosened on your internal or external door hinge; simply take a screwdriver and tighten the exposed screws on each door hinge.
If you've tightened the hinges and the door is still sticking, the issue could lie with the door jamb and that it has started to pull away from the door frame. Again, this is a fairly simple fix. You'll need a drill with the appropriate sized drill bit and a wood screw (around three inches); drill a pilot hole into the sticking point on the door jamb and insert the wood screw through the jamb and into the frame to tighten.
Altering the Door
If you've exhausted all of the above options or you think that they're not the issue, the problem could lie with the door itself. Wooden doors are prone to swelling in humid conditions or, if the home is new, during the time a house takes to settle. This can affect both the door and the door frame, causing the door to rub and stick.
In such cases, there's likely to be multiple sticking points that you'll need to address. Though this takes a little more work than grabbing a screwdriver, it's still fairly straightforward.
You'll need to identify the sticking points using the chalk method we mentioned earlier, once these are marked out, slide out the hinge pins and remove the door. You'll then need to use a belt sander to sand the sticking points on the surface of the door before reattaching the door to check that it's stick-free. If you still encounter sticking, repeat this process until you're able to open the door with ease then refinish the sanded areas of the door.
