A wedding worth sharing
I can truly say it was a beautiful day for Tammy and Russell and I'm so blessed to have been a part of their beginning.
Everything didn't go as plan, as usual things tend to go a little wrong on a big day like this – but for them things just seemed worse.
It started with the wedding planner not being able to keep her promises and closer to the time Tammy and Russell had to take the planning into their own hands and in a short time frame managed to arrange a beautiful wedding.
Tammy is a talented bride that manage to find time to design and make her own wedding dress – that looked absolutely stunning and somehow finished off her wedding cake the night before. Not even to mention all the little details.
The ceremony was to take place in the middle of the Tokai Forest, but with no permit the wedding had to take place next to the entrance. Just when the bride and groom thought this is the last hiccups mother nature decided not to play along and strong winds forced them to move the outdoor reception indoors.
Even though the day didn't go as planned, the Bride and Groom managed to still stay calm and it turned out to be a beautiful wedding day.
"Faith makes all things possible. Love makes all things easy"
Ceremony: Tokai Forest, Cape Town
Reception: Greenways Manor Guesthouse, Cape Town

Trophy Spearfishing in Ocean
Stormy weather caught us on one of the remote Indian Ocean reefs. Waiting out the windy days, I still decided on a story about spear fishing, about what I see trophy hunting, about the equipment and techniques of hunting trophy saltwater fish. At times, his eyes caught the works underwater hunters, in which there are useful and valid arguments about trophy hunting.
Trophy hunting underwater in the ocean
I make up my mind on the basis of my, in general, considerable experience in maritime hunting in different regions, to share what has been achieved in the practice and learned to see underwater hunters in South Africa, New Zealand, California, Polynesia.
As I understand trophy hunting
If in addition to the gastronomic reasons (to shoot fish in the ear), or even more so I understand the desire to stand out with a bundle of colorful fish and coral groupers, you want to get a rare, strong and worthy opponent - it is trophy hunting. It will make you grow, keep fit, to experiment.
The main objects of trophy hunting is a large species of pelagic predators and all questions about the villains underwater hunters, exterminating the inhabitants of the coral reef, will be removed .... It often happens that in 5-10 days of hunting on the ocean, I was mined trophy 1-2, and within a few days and cannot make a shot - it is trophy hunting!
Where to begin?
The main mistake of all underwater hunters and beginners and experienced becomes impatient and desire to shoot anything, so as not to be left without fish, or the desire to take pleasure in hunting among the corals and rocks. Desire is quite natural, but if you aim at pelagic fish trophy or any rare and large specimens will have to tune in long enough and can dullish process of searching and waiting. But the result, rest assured, will reward you with a surge of adrenaline and vivid impressions!
You need to configure only a specific trophy and is not distracted by the enticing options for hunting groupers, snapper and perhaps quite worthy barracuda, trivially or Wahoo. Perhaps such hunting is not let you off in front of cameras with friend's full colored stuff, and you'll look like a loser for a few days, but the day will come when the tuna, sailfish or marlin make others numb with surprise and lined up for the image!
How to prepare for trophy hunting?
In addition to patience, you will need good skills naturally and Technology dive. And the more complex will be hunting conditions - strong currents, big waves, the presence of sharks, the best physical form and perfect technique you need. I will not be here to talk about deep hunting for trophy when it is necessary to dive to depths of more than 25-30 meters. This is a separate issue, and the hunters, diving to such depths, very high requirements in terms of physical condition and reinforce adherence to security, unless of course they are going to live to old age.
But in most cases you are confident enough to dive to 10-15 meters and sometimes may reach 18-20, staying under water in the range of 1 to 2 minutes (optimally a half minutes). This will safely hunt for quite a long time - from 2 to 5 hours. It will also be helpful to talk with local fishermen or hunters of underwater habitats and fishing trophies alleged. Very important information about the time of tide and tidal currents, the time of year, in which the migration of a species. And of course we must take very seriously the preparation equipment.
Equipment for hunting trophy fish
If you want to appear with a trophy, which will help you to raise your pictures two most powerful friends, and not to feed the surrounding tales of huge tuna, cut off the spear, have to fork out for a serious outfit. I must say that no air rifles for hunting trophy fish are not suitable. I understand that the call displeasure a large army of fans of homemade and imported air guns, self-invincible power of their weapons. But all my attempts to get the trophy in the sea with different length and power pneumatic guns came to nothing. And the experience of hunters in many countries, speaks in favor of crossbows long.
We'll have to part with the popular notion of "best crossbow" produced by European companies, with slogans such as "Champion of the World ..." and a spectacular photo of a famous athlete on the glossy cover. I have nothing against hunting with crossbows and so very well understand their purpose, but in reality, these guns can handle weighty Mediterranean groupers and cannot meet the conditions, and the inhabitants of ocean space. From available in our country crossbows for hunting Trophy Ocean recommend starting with the South African crossbows Rob Allen length of 120 cm.
As an exception provided in our European guns can acquire Greek crossbow Demka, but after a certain refinement. To do this, you need to purchase a crossbow more powerful harpoons (Rob Allen) and put the rod diameter of 19 mm. RA 120 will require long rods with a diameter of 20mm, and for RA 140 will be sufficient 18mm. The length and diameter of the rods installed will depend on your experience in charge of long guns. With the acquisition of the skills you will be able to upgrade to a more powerful and short rods.
When the trophy hunting experience is put in front of you in the task of selecting the most powerful equipment to hunt for fish weighing more than 50-100 kg can consider buying a wooden gun. Buying wooden crossbows length of less than 140 cm, in my opinion, nonsensical emission of money - is puzzling tendency of some "hunters" to acquire the most expensive crossbows for hunting parrots and groupers.
We now have available a wooden American crossbows Reef. Choose the best gun with 4 or more rods. The most powerful wooden crossbows produce Andre in Bali, but it is custom-made guns and to us they do not deliver. Harpoons for these category crossbows are 8-9mm.
But this is only the beginning. Even flags counterparty harpoons RA with the correct angle fixation are not always able to keep a strong fast ocean fish. So soon you have a need for tips "slip-type" and related refining harpoons: tapping, search of adapters, etc. The next important point - no coils!
Even home-made high-capacity coil is not able to help you cope with the high speed fish. Usually, it ends pretty quickly, as soon as the entire supply cord is unwound. The only reliable way to deal with a worthy trophy - the use of one or more buoys floating tether fastened to the gun or directly and harpoon.
Moreover, all connecting links must be very reliable. It helps the rubber rope-shock from the displacer to harpoon or between buoys. European buoys and floating halyards absolutely not suitable - everything is broken and crushed at depth. Only large capacity hard buoy or inflatable buoy on scuba of durable material.
By harpoon attached monofilament of at least 1.8-2.0 mm in diameter, it is better in Japan. Such outlines requirements for the main equipment. Because we can recommend additional flash phished, very well in the hunt for the Spanish mackerel, Wahoo, trevelli and sailboats with Marlin. Everything else can be adapted from an available: computer-depth, stiletto knife, etc.
Hunting methods
The easiest and most common way - to hang at a depth of 7-10 meters. Most have to dive or on the "banks" - the rise of the bottom of the depths of the open ocean, which may be at a depth of 15-30 meters, or near the reef on a small plateau, or at some distance, when the reef is not visible. When active pelagic fish, is coming to the reef and runs along it, you can find a trophy from the surface and dive vertically in the way of its investigation. The most common error in this case becomes the desire to catch fish, trying to fall on it from above.
Unnaturally bent head, so as not to release the object from the field of view and a clear intention to reduce the distance only alert the fish and it will not work on the firing range. Therefore it is necessary to go down vertically, not looking down, and even more in the direction of the fish.
At that moment, when you stop and hover at a depth of about 10 meters, your next stop and the trophy itself will go to you directly or on an arc, showing characteristic curiosity predator. It will only make an accurate shot ... If you will be accurate -. There is no problem, but if the fish are not killed - they just begin. The first mistake made by novices - is a reflex attempt to keep the fish.
Rather than release the gun handle immediately after being hit, brush compresses it stronger and those 1-2 seconds is enough to tuna pulled the fishing line with a breaking test 200-250 kg ... If the harpoon is connected to the displacer, such a problem does not arise -. Fish swiftly goes down the rope with the noise cut water and your hands, if you decided to stop the first frantic leap.
Bui sharply dives and if it does not meet the reserve buoyancy trophy, dissolves in the darkening depths ... you may have luck if the first buoy is connected with the second duplicate tether or shock. In any case, after a shot, you should hurry up to the surface to intercept flying over the surface in a cloud of spray buoy.
On the way to the surface you will have time to throw the ring pulls the crossbow on his shoulder to free his hands to deal with the trophy. Of course the situation is highly dependent on the type of harpooned fish. This is perhaps the most difficult option. If the water goes away, and the second buoy, do not try to hold it - it can lead to breakage of line. But if the situation is in favor of fish and it can reach the coral grotto or a curtain rod, get stuck or break the line, damage to the rope - it is necessary to try to take her away from dangerous places.
Finding and attracting fish
If you do not know already tested exit place trophy fish, it is better to focus on the accumulation of small fish, for example, cesium. Near the dense shoals of bright blue and yellow fish often hold tuna and trevally. Wounded and flailing on the shaft often attracts fish of their relatives or other fish species. And this interest is sometimes accompanied by attempts to wrest kinsman piece of meat, and then drag a wounded prey on the bottom. ... In this behavior, predators based way to attract tuna's small sardines or any other fish and meats.
Hanging (on displacer and where sharks do not bother) fish also can serve as a bait. In my experience, there have been episodes where marlin and sailfish approached the buoy with the fish. Similar cases have repeatedly described the familiar hunters. On the island of Tahiti my fellow Polynesians used the original way to attract large pelagic predators. They shot at the reef and small fish skewer it on a wire pin, fitted on muzzle crossbow.
Features hunt for trophy fish
Spanish mackerel and Wahoo
They prefer to stay away or at some distance from the reef, in the water or near the surface (0.5-5 meters) above the banks. The medium-sized fish form flocks of up to 5-20 goals. Large specimens often found alone. Well responsive to the phished flash. This is a very high-speed fish, especially the Wahoo that more and one of the most delicious booty.
If a dart strike through the back or head, the rapid spurt tear soft tissue and the fish will come down with a harpoon. Spanish mackerel, you will be more likely to be found in the water column at a depth of 7-15 meters in standby mode. Both types tend to leave, accelerating in a straight line and are not seeking in depth. As soon as the first frantic spurt will be stopped, the fish begin to give up pretty quickly.
Dogtooth tuna
Perhaps the most awkward and frantic fighter of all the trophies that I have been able to produce. Hunting for "dogs" requires especially careful treatment of all links of equipment. To be ready for a meeting with tuna over 30 kg, it is desirable to have two buoys and a powerful shock absorber (preferably Reef). Hunting technique is very simple and generally is hangs at a depth of 7-15 meters, followed by a slow drop to 16-25 meters. The main thing to determine the places of tuna for feeding. Sometimes they come in a pack of 5-7 fishes and even several tens or hunt alone.
Hold at the outputs of the reef channel or channels themselves; pass along the vertical reef walls (drop-off). Appear on the plateau near the reef or the banks surrounded by depths. It is also important to choose the right time - this is a tidal flow, or early morning and evening hours. Probability meeting will be higher near the large flocks of cesium - they are very attracted to the currently active all that glitters in the water column.
Therefore, it may be the way flash Fisher and chopped pieces of fish. The tuna of this type very well react to movement and are actively interested in slowly falling object - in this case the hunter. Often had to watch as a pack of tuna inseparably accompany tearing on the shaft fellow is clearly not out of compassion for a relative.
And in this case there can be a successful hunt with your mate. Do not show your intentions and try to chase tuna, we just have to wait a little and big fish itself will begin to approach an arc. Torpedo body scarred and snarling jaws impress ... But you cannot hurry -. To break through the thick, consisting of a body is not so simple some muscle. Effective distance for a shot of 2-3 meters.
If there is any doubt, that the distance is not quite suitable, it makes sense to shoot in the stem of the caudal fin. Paradoxically, but these shots proved to be more effective than headshots. Make "Kill Shot" hit the nail on the spine connect to the skull, it is not always possible, and to break through the narrow part of the tail is easier, and also tuna movements are related, and he gets tired quickly. But, of course, everything is done on the situation.
If you use a harpoon tip no "slip - type", then get ready to replace bent in an arc arrows ... And a special focus "dogs." - I have often watched a large tuna quickly go to the bottom and ongoing absolutely incredible. Plowed sideways along the bottom with a protruding on the flight to the massive body of the harpoon, this free ... freed and leaves the memory of the bent picturesque boom! This is just one of the tricks. The repertoire more: cut the line on the coral reef, a harpoon or rope jammed in the inaccessible depths for you, etc. Be assured - it is a real fighter and you need a lot of fight, before the trophy will be yours.
On the beauty of this magnificent inhabitant of the open ocean, you cannot say - enough to see a sailboat in his native element. Quite a bit of sailing becomes a trophy underwater hunter worldwide. For a long time sailing it has been a dream for me - maybe achievable, but not quite real. Sometimes it happens by chance meeting with this fish, my friends and I had once seen it in Mozambique. And yet one could find sailing and be ready for it.
After that, more than seriously examining the character and habits of the fish, I began deliberately to hunt them. We have been known interest in sailing to the fish hanging on the displacer. There were a lot of them; sailboats pass themselves sometimes jumps magnificent series of jumps. Repeatedly watching behaves sailboat caught trolling lure, I had no doubt that it's a strong fighter.
A flock of 7 sailing ships appeared suddenly, as if from a dream, and it was time to think not. They move somehow in a special smooth, slightly curving, and similar, rather, on what that unusual animals than fish. Pausing at a depth of 5 meters, I made the shot. Harpoon struck a nearby fish and she promptly tore, leaving small bubbles in the water column. Buoy with a hiss swept past, and I barely had time to intercept the shock absorber of the second displacer.
Skating with pounding heart for the surface of the ocean lasted about 20 minutes. When I cautiously approached the tired big fish - the first time is not very confident feeling with being more of their growth and with a sharp sword on his nose. Grasp the nose rough sailing; I was surprised how soft skull of this fish - knife easily without effort got into his head. Perfect trophy changed color and became the band is more distinct on the body, almost disappeared, and the sail - fin radiated waves of deep blue...
Despite the stubborn character and speed of the enemy, with the sailing a lot easier to handle than smaller tuna. Big fish always striving to escape along the surface and it is enough for one small buoy to tame it. But soft tissues often do not hold the spear and annoying gatherings occur. Therefore, in order not to injure needlessly beautiful fish, it is always better to use a "slip-type."
More often find sailing from the surface and diving to a depth of no more than 4-10 meters; can bring their flash-Fisher. Sailboats move slowly and with dignity, apparently without considering the awkward creature with fins as a source of danger. Therefore, in some cases it is possible to make a breakthrough and by reducing the distance to shoot.
Not heard from South Africans, which is enough to take just a single sailboat in his life, I think I agree with them. Looking at this beautiful creature with unrealistic sail-fin and huge eyes, I thought I did not feel a burning desire to hunt them...
Giant trevally
No wonder they are called flexors harpoons. ... But they can go into the lagoon, and often rob in shallow water near the shore. Appear singly, in pairs or occasionally huge flocks. During the hunt for other fish can be found at depths of 10-25 meters, and near the surface. At various times behave absolutely unpredictable - could rise from the depths, or turn from the surface and go just a frontal attack ... Or just seeing you disappear in the depths and just pass by ...
If this stupid beast did not kill, have long engaged in.. Tug of war, and after the successful extraction of fish, editing harpoon. Harpooned trivially, as well as tuna tends to the bottom and close to the coral, which clogged and when convenient. In some regions - Polynesia, Fiji - after the big fish in a coral cave jammed, volunteers appear to extract production - sharks. As a rule, these "services" they take the better part of the trophy, and you will leave your head. By the way, nothing interesting trivially is not in gastronomic terms.
Well, a large barracuda. ... Behave differently in different regions. Where they gather in large flocks, barracuda is not shy, even somewhat aggressive curious. Where they are kept alone, fish care and strictly maintained a safe distance, though, and are curious. If it so happened that you did not notice the first barracuda, she can approach the back or side to a distance of only 2-4 meters and curiously looking at the strange creature, yet you will not notice it.
If barracuda was taken from the flock, the whole flock will accompany long harpooned girlfriend. But if you missed, then with each subsequent attempt chance that the distance is sufficient for the shot almost does not remain. Most particularly distrustful, but curious sea pike manage to take, by making a sudden sharp jerk, and, closing the distance, to make the shot. Barracuda even weighing 20-25 kg is not a fighter - to be taken very quickly. Just do not put her finger in her mouth...
Kingfish (yellowtail)
Over prefers regions with cold water. One of the main objects of underwater hunting in New Zealand and California. Like all typical pelagic predators kept in packs or alone near the pinnacles (cliffs) and the farther in the ocean such elevations, the larger trophies. If you hunt near the kelp (seaweed thickets very long), be prepared for the unexpected appearance of a playful mood fur seals, which scared all the fish and might try to take away the already extracted. But you get a lot of pleasure from communicating with them. Hunting is not much different from hunting for Spanish mackerel.
Trophies, which have not yet been...
Of course, it would be possible to tell what he had learned from experienced hunters from different countries or read in literature. ... Well, I do not. ... Yes, met marlin and yellow fin tuna, and koby Coryphaeus. Even I shot, but did not take. And, then, as long as there is no experience and who could share.
For many years, spear fishing, often in very difficult conditions, and the invaluable experience gained on the competition in free diving and in communion with the famous divers and underwater hunters as Pelizzari, Kastineyra, Little John, taught me self-control and the constant anticipation of dangerous situations.
Here are some rules that will help in spear fishing and possibly keep you health and life.
- Never dive alone to depths in excess of half of your maximum limit of depth.
- If the depth of the hunt are assumed close to the limit, and the hunting conditions are severe (large waves, strong currents, the presence of dangerous sharks), you must hunt with an experienced partner and constantly try to control each other.
- For hunting for strong currents, especially in the open ocean, it is necessary to have an experienced and specially instructed skipper on the boat, which after your drift dives and multiple takes you back to the starting point. And so as not to smash your head with a boat and wind the rope way on the screw.
- Carry out on the surface in preparation for the dive, at least twice as much time than you spent during the breath-holding. To control the time a good use of the computer for free diving. This will help you to save power for the entire period of hunting.
- If you intend to hunt at night and away from the point of home base, grab a small flashlight - so it will be easier to find you in a rapidly advancing into the sea dusk.
- Do not drag on itself cook with fish? Where there is no large number of sharks, the cookie can be hung on a buoy. If shark hunting in places your numerous and are interested in a wounded fish - immediately trophy to give to the boat.
- During the hunt for strong fast fish, be doubly careful when you are in the water and ready to fire. Make sure that the rope connecting the gun to the displacer not overflowed on your body or equipment - after being hit by a big fish, you do not have time to even get a knife to cut them off from flying down the "locomotive»...
- Using powerful crossbows with rods or a large number of them, fix the brush and wrist, elbow joints, and large wooden guns hold the other hand the butt. Otherwise, your face or joints can be affected by the impact.
- Do not panic unnecessarily at the sight of sharks, but will try to get out on a boat, if your hunting location, the appearance of a certain dangerous species were too intrusive and large specimens, especially towards dusk.
In conclusion. Remember, no trophy, even the most coveted and prestigious, is not worth your life! It's just a fish ... Good hunting and trophies in the coming year!

Spotlight: Jant's Collection at 2017 Glitz Africa Fashion Week #GAFW17
Joel Ugo Enyinnaya presented an elegant collection under the iconic Jant's Collection brand, during Day 1 of the 2017 Glitz Africa Fashion Week. Using staple colours of black, white, grey and blue, the designer cleverly brought his capsule collection to life. The showcase was a great starter for Fashion Week, as Ugo presented his easy-on-the-eye collection ranging from male to female formal and casual wear. The story of Jant's Collection can be traced back to 1938, when Mama Janet Umezurike founded the brand. After being betrothed to a priest, she headed to the then 'Home' (an institution with the mandate of training women especially priests' wives in domestic science) before their church wedding in 1939. Notable among the skills she acquired was, tailoring popularly. Many women passed through her tutelage in this trade. She was a guru in this profession from 1939 to 1982 when she encouraged her daughter-in-law Madam Mercy Enyinnaya (biological mother the present C.E.O, Joel Ugo Enyinnaya. Madam Mercy acquired same skill for continuity in 1982. Today, The Jant's is born in memory of our matriarch and show of the creativity that runs in the blood. ]]>

Capitol Information & Education (I&E) Days has been an annual event at the California State Capitol for over a decade. It was started by the Joint Ethnic Networks, which educated legislators on the impact of tobacco on California's diverse ethnic populations. In 2005 the event was broadened to include all Prop. 99 funded projects, and in 2018 even more groups were included due to new funding through Prop 56. Now, more than 150 advocates from around the state come to the Capitol every year to educate their legislators about the burden of tobacco in their communities.
Attendees organize under the Coalition to Protect All Californians from Tobacco (PACT), which is a coalition of individuals from tobacco prevention organizations and public health agencies committed to reducing the impact of tobacco on Californians. The mission of the PACT Coalition is to educate local and state elected officials about the social, health and economic impact of tobacco and tobacco-related disease in California and to serve as a resource on local and statewide tobacco prevention issues.
Information & Education Day 2019
I&E Day 2019 is set for Tuesday, April 23. Registration, travel, and other information will be made available soon.
If you have questions, please contact Alyssa Stratton at 916-585-7664 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I don't understand the negative reviews of this book ("The Lives of Aurobindo"). Is the Sri Aurobindo Ashram some kind of cult? Can't they stand a book written by somebody who doesn't believe in Aurobindo's divine status and doesn't understand his mystical accomplishments? Or is something else going on? Apparently, Aurobindo has been turned into an icon in India and even been appropriated by the Hindutva nationalists.
After skimming this material, reading a few chapters here and there, I think this is a tolerable "secular" biography of Aurobindo Ghose, which doesn't hide his accomplishments in various fields. Personally, I found it interesting that Aurobindo went from "extremist" nationalist to pro-British asset during World War II and then pro-American ditto during the Cold War, quite at variance with many other Indian nationalists, who veered towards Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union.
One thing I didn't notice in the book was a detailed discussion of Aurobindo's sources. Surely, he didn't come up with the evolutionary perspective himself? It sounds, cough cough, Theosophical (or evolutionary-Kabbalist). Aurobindo did have contacts with Western occultists, most notably a certain Mirra Alfassa. Yes, that would be The Mother, who took over the ashram after his death. Perhaps it was just as good that the author left out this Occidentalist aspect of Aurobindo's thinking. I mean, God knows what the Supreme Court of Orissa could have done with *that* kind of material, LOL.

Brazil, once the world's largest slave colony, was brutal and deadly for millions of Africans. But many thousands escaped and rebelled, creating settlements they called quilombos in Brazil's untamed hinterland. Largely unknown to the outside world, these communities struggle today to preserve a rich heritage born of resistance to oppression.
"Quilombo Country," narrated by Chuck D, the legendary poet and leader of the iconic hip hop band Public Enemy, explores Afrobrazilian village life among the forests and rivers of northern Brazil, with rare footage of festivals and ceremonies that blend Catholic, African and native Amazonian rituals and customs. "Quilombo Country" is alive with first-person accounts of racial conflict, cultural ferment, political identity, and the struggle for land and human rights.See it now.

David Cameron, George Osborne, William Hague, Jeremy Hunt, Daniel Hanan (MEP), Matthew Sinclair (Founder, Tax-dodgers Alliance), David Blunkett, Dr John Reid, John Prescott & Margaret Beckett.
You know, I can't personally think of 10 better reasons to vote yes to AV than the knowledge that the above people favour the status quo. All of them favour first past the post, not for fine upstanding reasons but because all would retain their electoral advantage/influence. The 5 Tories would be happy because, well every post war General Election win was obtained with a share of the vote under 50% (with the wins in 1955, 59 and 70 seeing the share of the vote creep over 45%). Their 8 post war wins have all been based on vote for us because we will keep the other lot out. To be fair though, Labour also revert to that line of campaigning – if you're not voting for us you must be a Tory.
This is the main reason why both the Tories & certain New Labour figures are pro FPTP. The idea that there is no alternative to the other lot is a powerful one and one that kept the brothers together when Blair was pushing through some pretty Thatcherite legislation. But it is one that is loosing its power, both with the growth of the Liberal Democrats at national level, and the continued professional performances of the SNP in the Scottish Parliament. Interestingly, John Reid talked about the fairness of the FPTP system, Reid would know all about fairness having helped to hound the fair Elizabeth Filkin out of her post as Parliamentery watchdog.
AV means that parties will have to try and gather votes from people who would not put their X in the box for that party but might be prepared to vote for them in a preference system. It means that candidates have to try and poll (through 2nd and 3rd preference votes) over 50% of the vote to be elected. No more MP's elected with under 40% of the vote. Yes, its not as proportional as say STV (used in council elections here), but it is a step in the right direction.
What has marked this campaign out though is the number of untruths in circulation about AV. The leaflet received last week here contains at least one lie and several facts that are dubious to say the least. The lie is that only three countries in the planet use it. It is used here in the UK, with council by-elections using AV – I voted that way in the recent council by-election. Both Cameron and Ed Miliband were elected to their positions as Party leaders by AV.
The leaflet quotes the figure of £26 million to explain the voting system to voters – it also rather patronisingly says "do we really need to complicate things with another?" – but there is no explanation as to where this figure came from. There is also no explanation as to where the figure for "electronic vote counting machines" – put at £130 million – has been arrived at. This seems to have convinced at least one blogger. Yet if we are in the realms of cutting things back because they cost money, then how much did Friday's show of royal largesse cost? The leaflet also says "AV would give the Lib Dems more seats. That would mean more hung parliaments…" Well why shouldn't they, when they gathered 6.5 million votes at the last General Election, 2 million less (and about 200 seats less) than Labour. Most Psepologists though seem to think that under AV, every Westminster election would have produced the same outcome, with the Thatcher win in 1983 and Blair's win in 1997 producing bigger majorities. The only election that would have produced a hung parliament would have been the 2010 election… which of course produced one with FPTP.
I think that AV is a step away from our tired FPTP system that forces people to vote against a party, not for a party. That the No to AV camp feels the need to scare, to put unsubstantiated figures into the public domain and to spin its alleged complexity & obscurity shows the hollowness of their arguments. Unfortunately the polling suggests that they are winning.

Peer Review Process
Kurdish Studies follows a double blind peer review policy. Articles submitted to the journal are screened by the editorial team and then, if appropriate, sent to two reviewers. Finally, in the light of reviewer comments, the editorial team reaches a decision about publication. This decision is final.
Research Articles, Letters, Brief Communications, Case Studies, Reports, Analysis, Reviews, Data presentations, and Viewpoints are all peer-reviewed and/or editorial reviewed. All forms of published correction may also be peer-reviewed at the discretion of the editors. Other contributions are not usually peer-reviewed.
All submitted manuscripts are read by our editorial staff. Only those papers that seem most likely to meet our editorial criteria are sent to reviewers. Those papers judged by the editors to be of insufficient general interest or otherwise inappropriate are desk rejected without external review. Manuscripts judged to be of potential interest to our readership are sent to two or more reviewers. The editors then make a decision based on the reviewers' advice.
Reviewers are welcome to recommend a particular course of action, but they should bear in mind that the other reviewers of a particular paper may have different technical expertise and/or views, and the editors may have to make a decision based on conflicting advice. The most useful reports, therefore, provide the editors with the information on which a decision should be based. Setting out the arguments for and against publication is often more helpful to the editors than a direct recommendation one way or the other.
Our editors evaluate the strength of the arguments raised by reviewers and by the authors, and may also consider other information not available to either party. Our primary responsibilities are to our readers and to the scientific community at large, and in deciding how best to serve them, we must weigh the claims of each paper against the many others also under consideration. Reviewers' criticisms are taken seriously, particularly the technical criticisms.
Kurdish Studies follows the rules of publication ethics to ensure academic objectivity and rigour of the journal.
Publication Frequency
Kurdish Studies is published twice a year in May and October.
This journal utilizes the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration. More...
Publishing Ethics
Publishing Ethics and Malpractice Statement
Kurdish Studies follows the guidelines of publishing ethics. We value the importance of academic rigour and peer-review process in ensuring the development of a coherent and respected knowledge. These evaluations ensure the quality of work and referred to by the institutions and interested public. This community of academic publishing involves the author(s), the journal editor, the peer reviewers, and the publishers.
Our editors have a duty to fair play, ensuring confidentiality, disclosing conflicts of interest where applicable and cooperation in investigations when needed regarding publication decisions in line with the editorial preferences and goals of the journals.
Reviewers are expected to contribute to editors' decisions by promptly and objectively reviewing and commenting on the papers they are assigned to review while also maintaining confidentiality and disclosing conflicts of interest where applicable and known.
Authors are required to abide to reporting standards, maintain originality of submitted
papers, avoid plagiarism as well as avoiding multiple submissions and concurrent
publications. They are required to acknowledge resources and authorship of papers submitted. They are required to disclose any conflict of interest. Authors are required to disclose any fundamental errors in published works so these can be publicised and rectified if possible.
The Publisher is committed to ensure objectivity in academic review and publication process. Hence the Publisher avoids advertising, reprint or other commercial interest has no impact or influence on editorial decisions.
(This statement has been adopted from Studi Slavistici journal guide which is developed according to Elsevier recommendations for journal publishing ethics)
Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal Kurdish Studies is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the organisations that support them. It is important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behaviour for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editors, the peer reviewer, and the publisher.
Transnational Press London as publisher of the journal Kurdish Studies takes its duties of guardianship over all stages of publishing extremely seriously and we recognize our ethical and other responsibilities.
We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprint or other commercial revenue has no impact or influence on the editorial decisions.
Duties of authors
Reporting standards
Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to understand and replicate the work.
Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
Reviews and other articles should also be accurate and objective, and editorial opinion works should be clearly identified as such.
Data access and retention
Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide access to such data, if practicable, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication following the industry standards for research and research ethics.
Originality and plagiarism
The authors should ensure that the work is entirely original, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism takes many forms, from "passing off" another's paper as the author's own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another's paper (without attribution), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms is considered to be unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication
An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. In general, an author should not submit for consideration in another journal a previously published paper. The authors and editors of the journals concerned must agree to the secondary publication, which must reflect the same data and interpretation of the primary document. The primary reference must be cited in the secondary publication.
Acknowledgement of sources
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, must not be used or reported without explicit, written permission from the source. Information obtained in the course of confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications, must not be used without the explicit written permission of the author of the work involved in these services.
Authorship of the paper
Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.
Hazards and human or animal subjects
If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript. If the work involves the use of animal or human subjects, the author should ensure that the manuscript contains a statement that all procedures were performed in compliance with relevant laws and institutional guidelines and that the appropriate institutional committee(s) has approved them. Authors should include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed.
Disclosure and conflicts of interest
All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed. Examples of potential conflicts of interest which should be disclosed include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed at the earliest stage possible.
Fundamental errors in published works
When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the authorís obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper. If the editor or the publisher learns from a third party that a published work contains a significant error, it is the obligation of the author to promptly retract or correct the paper or provide evidence to the editor of the correctness of the original paper.
Duties of the Editorial Board
These guidelines are based on existing Elsevier policies and COPE's Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.
Publication decisions
The editor of a peer-reviewed journal Kurdish Studies is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions. The editor may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.
Fair play
An editor should evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.
The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.
Disclosure and conflicts of interest
Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Editors should recuse themselves (i.e. should ask a co-editor, associate editor or other member of the editorial board instead to review and consider) from considering manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or (possibly) institutions connected to the papers. Editors should require all contributors to disclose relevant competing interests and publish corrections if competing interests are revealed after publication. If needed, other appropriate action should be taken, such as the publication of a retraction or expression of concern.
Involvement and cooperation in investigations
An editor should take reasonably responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper, in conjunction with the publisher (or society). Such measures will generally include contacting the author of the manuscript or paper and giving due consideration of the respective complaint or claims made, but may also include further communications to the relevant institutions and research bodies, and if the complaint is upheld, the publication of a correction, retraction, expression of concern, or other note, as may be relevant. Every reported act of unethical publishing behavior must be looked into, even if it is discovered years after publication.
Duties of reviewers
(These guidelines are based on existing Elsevier policies and COPE's Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors).
Contribution to editorial decisions
Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper. Peer review is an essential component of formal scholarly communication, and lies at the heart of the scientific method. Elsevier shares the view of many that all scholars who wish to contribute to publications have an obligation to do a fair share of reviewing.
Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.
Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
Standards of objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
Acknowledgement of sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.
Disclosure and conflict of interest
Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in a reviewer's own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.

Yahoo's Yang gets $1 in rocky final year as CEO
(AP) -- Yahoo Inc. limited co-founder Jerry Yang's 2008 compensation package to his customary $1 salary during his final year as chief executive, a tumultuous reign that unraveled after he rebuffed Microsoft Corp.'s $47.5 billion bid to buy the Internet company.
The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company disclosed the pay of Yang and its other top executives in its proxy statement filed Wednesday.
The breakdown of Yahoo's top-paid executives in 2008 served as a reminder of the current shake-up at the company as its new leader, Carol Bartz, tries to end a three-year slump that has devastated Yahoo's stock price.
When Yang stepped down as CEO in January, Yahoo President Susan Decker left the company rather than work for the woman who beat her out for the top job. Blake Jorgensen, Yahoo's chief financial officer, also plans to leave as soon as Bartz can find his successor.
Even more employees will be leaving in the next few weeks as Bartz carries out her plan to lay off nearly 700 people, or about 5 percent Yahoo's work force.
Yang, 40, has settled for a token salary for years because he has gotten rich off of Yahoo's stock since he started the Web site with fellow Stanford University graduate student David Filo in 1994.
But like his fellow shareholders, Yang has suffered huge losses on paper as Yahoo shares lost nearly half their value last year. The plunge left Yang's 3.9 percent stake worth about $600 million less at the end of 2008.
The Associated Press calculates executive pay based on salary, bonuses, incentives, perquisites, above-market returns on deferred compensation and the value of stock options and other awards granted during the year.
Yahoo didn't pay Yang anything beyond the $1 salary last year. He wasn't the only Silicon Valley leader to settle for a buck last year. Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs and Google Inc. co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin also worked for $1 in 2008.
Bartz, 60, is getting paid more like CEOs at other high-profile companies. She is starting off with a $1 million salary and already has been guaranteed another $10 million in cash and stock this year to make up for the benefits and other awards she gave up at her former employer, Autodesk Inc.
On top of that, Bartz is eligible to receive several more million dollars in bonuses and stands to benefit from 5 million stock options granted to her when she was hired. Yahoo will value those stock options in next year's proxy statement.
The June 25 annual meeting covered in Yahoo's proxy statement this year is expected to be less fractious than last year's affair when Yang and the company's other board meetings were facing a shareholder uprising led by activist investor Carl Icahn.
Like many other shareholders, Icahn was outraged with the way Yang responded to Microsoft's offer to buy Yahoo for $33 per share last May.
Yang brokered the peace by giving a board seat to Icahn, who is one of 12 directors up for election in June. But some bitterness over the squandered opportunity to sell Yahoo to Microsoft may still linger, given that Yahoo shares ended Wednesday at $14.02.

I get a lot of calls from customers asking about using our radiant barrier products to increase efficiency in their in-slab radiant heated floors. Many times there is a bit of confusion as to which product to use. Fortunately our concrete slab insulation is designed specifically for this purpose.
What is the difference between under concrete insulation and standard bubble insulation? Aluminum and concrete don't play well together; there is an adverse chemical reaction when the aluminum in the foil comes in contact with the lime in the concrete. In fresh concrete bubbles will form on the surface as the concrete cures. Foil will not damage cured concrete, but the concrete will cause the foil to corrode which will greatly reduce its effectiveness.
The soulution?
EcoFoil's under concrete insulation– also sometimes called under slab insulation- has a layer of reflective foil sandwiched between two layers of polyethylene bubbles. These bubbles protect the foil from the corrosive properties of the concrete while simultaneously stopping heat transfer through conduction.
The first response I usually get is "Won't those bubble pop?"
The answer is "NO." Our concrete slab insulation is specifically designed to handle the abuse during construction and withstand the weight of the slab. With a rated compression strength of 140psi and a bursting strength of 180psi it is virtually indestructible.
- In addition to reflecting radiant heat back to your radiant floor you will receive R 3.8 of insulation and a 100% vapor barrier all in one product.
- EcoFoil's concrete insulation is a patented design that is unlike any other product on the market.
- EcoFoil Ultra Concrete Barrier foil is the only product on the market with the reflective foil between two layers of bubbles. This isolates the foil from the concrete and from the humid conditions below the slab. This increases the effectiveness and lengthens the life of the foil.
- There is no up or down to the product making installation virtually foolproof.
All of these great benefits make our under concrete insulation ideal for alternative uses as well. We've had customers share their experiences of using it in horse watering systems, portable living structures known as yurts, and underneath in-ground swimming pools. Have you used insulation for an alternative use? Let us know, we'd love to hear about it and share it with our readers.
To purchase our under concrete insulation visit www.ecofoil.com or call 1-888-349-3645 for more information.

SOUTH ORANGE / MAPLEWOOD, NJ — Communication strategies, integration of elementary schools and adherence to Access and Equity policies were among the topics of discussion as South Orange-Maplewood Board of Education candidates debated at a community forum sponsored by South Orange Maplewood Cares about Schools at The Woodland in Maplewood on Sept. 27.
This is the only scheduled forum in which the BOE candidates did not receive the questions in advance; the questions were completely crowdsourced via social media and other venues. In a random order, each candidate was asked two questions. Unlike more formally structured forums, the goal here was to make the process as unbiased as possible. The event was moderated by South Orange Village President Sheena Collum and Maplewood Mayor Vic DeLuca.
Taking the stage for the evening's debate were all eight candidates running for the three open seats on the school board: incumbents Elizabeth Baker and Donna Smith, and challengers Robin Johnson Baker, Shannon Cuttle, Felisha George, Avery Julien, Anthony Mazzocchi and Sheila Shidnia.
Unsurprisingly, many questions arose regarding issues of integrating the elementary schools, the district's perceived lack of adherence to the newly enacted Access and Equity policy, and the leveling policies that are still in place at Columbia High School.
On this topic, the SOMA Black Parents Workshop stated its belief that children are being denied a fair opportunity to level up in the high school, which is in violation of the Access and Equity policy, and asked for the candidates to respond.
"Let me just first say that yes, I do agree with that statement. If you cannot level up until Oct. 2, by the time you do enter a higher level class, you're already a month behind," George, a graduate of the CHS Class of 2012, said. "From the time that we're in elementary school, we're tracked and they're telling us how we need to learn instead of us having the freedom to pick and choose what we need to learn. By the time we reach high school, we're already left behind and if you have to ask for extra help, who knows if the extra help is there for you."
The forum also raised the issue of better integrating the elementary schools, ensuring an even and diverse mix of students from the community.
"I'm not necessarily running on a plan, but what I have been thinking about is this problem that exists; my children happen go to Tuscan Elementary, and that's an issue that is very evident," Mazzocchi, also a CHS graduate and the former director of fine and performing arts for the school district, said. "We had a consultant who was paid to come in and look at the situation and they gave us four recommendations. They were to build more space, renovate the space that we already have, redistrict the schools and the last one was to innovate. What if we could take all four of the recommendations and address them from a holistic approach?"
Though he said that he wouldn't call this his official plan, Mazzocchi suggested making all the elementary schools include kindergarten through fourth grade, which would free up a considerable amount of space, and then have one middle school that comprises fifth and sixth grades, another that is seventh and eighth, and keep the high school grades nine through 12.
"This is actually perfectly logical for child development, brain research shows, and then you have children in the district traveling from fifth through 12th grade together, and you can deal with integration at K through four, and develop a mapping system, which is something that I have suggested in the past when I was a supervisor in the district," Mazzocchi said.
Community members also wanted to know how candidates plan to address budget concerns and if there is room in the budget to address increasing concerns regarding transportation for those who live a considerable distance from the high school.
"This is one of those tough questions; we would of course love to be able to provide transportation to anybody who lives far from the schools. Unfortunately, we're in fiscal distress here, and we have had some shortfalls in recent years and we have to establish certain priorities, and the priority is that we need to spend the money in the classrooms," Smith, an attorney who is nearing the end of her first three-year term on the board, said. "We try our best to accommodate students throughout the district in terms of transportation. I know we all pay our taxes, and I've always been a supporter of the 2-percent tax cap. We have to be fiscally conservative; we have no choice but to be."
Candidates were also asked what they would do to engage community members in conversation to elicit concerns and hold dialogue, as well as whether to reinstate twice a month BOE meetings — as opposed to the monthly format followed now — and the use of technology so residents can attend meetings virtually.
"I think one of the reasons I get very frustrated when I approach the board of education with a question is that the forum in which to do so doesn't seem to provide any response. You can email the board of education, which I've done, and I've gotten a response 100 percent of the time, or you can go to the public speaks portion of the BOE meeting and express yourself, and essentially get no response," Shidnia said. "I think one of the most important roles of the school board is to connect the community with the administration, and we are fortunate to live in towns where there are so many community and parent groups that care about our students, and their voices need to be heard. We need actual feedback on the issues, and I think that's an essential piece to this board that's missing."
Communication between parents, stakeholders and district employees was also a subject that many want to see addressed more stringently, and current board President Elizabeth Baker outlined strategies that the board has already adopted, as well as new ones she would like to implement.
"The board has been very consciously going out to community groups, and we've been not only meeting with the President's Council but also going into the schools to meet with PTAs and HSAs so that we can hear their concerns, and everybody who writes to the board of education email gets a response — there's no auto-reply, it's an actual personal response," Baker, an attorney who is nearing the end of her first term on the board, said. "In addition to having more presence at township meetings, what I'd really like to do is find more ways to have our committees put together a curriculum committee to meet with students, hear their concerns, and get their recommendations."
When asked whether they have any children in the school district, Cuttle's response highlighted that they do not feel that should be a determining factor in being a qualified candidate for the school board.
"I don't have any children directly in our district, but as an educator for over 20 years, I've had many students and children in my life. But what we really need to be talking about here is not who has children in the district or not; we need to be talking about the qualifications and what makes somebody uniquely qualified to be leader in our district," Cuttle said. "And that's me, with my background with over 20 years of experience doing educational policy here on a local level, and also statewide and on a national level. Not just advising school boards here locally but also at the same time dozens of school boards across the country. I've seen successful school board operations and school districts, and I am somebody who has the unique skill set to see that all students thrive inside and outside of the classroom."
Residents were additionally concerned about the hiring process of key administrative positions, such as the superintendent. Residents asked Johnson Baker how the school board will ensure that the superintendent is able to accurately assess the curriculum and, in turn, how the principals will identify the exemplary teachers from those who are either ineffective or need further development.
"My feeling is that most leaders are not born, they become one by watching good other people lead well," Johnson Baker, who served on the board from 1998 to 2001, said. "If the board's role is to set policy, then leading by example, being honest and transparent, clear, and that when we set our policies, they are implemented in a way that everyone understands how they're being measured and what's expected of them — those are the things that make it possible to be good leaders."
The Newark Board of Education is reportedly revising its curriculum to be more inclusive of LGBT history, and Julien, a 2017 graduate of Columbia High School and current freshman at Rutgers University, was asked his thoughts about whether he would support the South Orange-Maplewood Board of Education doing the same.
"I'm in full support of that. I think that anybody trying to access their education, anybody trying to get their voices heard deserves that," he said. "I feel like people shouldn't be discriminated for who they love, who they are, and their identity should be fully embraced by their principals, their teachers."
Tuesday, Nov. 7, all registered voters in South Orange and Maplewood will have the opportunity to vote for three of the eight candidates for school board. Current board member Maureen Jones is not seeking re-election.

Citizens in another state can now say 'The Second Amendment IS my CC permit!'.
There is hope yet for those who still want a government to uphold the freedoms of the individual, rather than promise the comforts of a nanny-state.
Another of our Big-R rights was just re-affirmed in law. The right to self-defense.
It's not a bad first law for South Dakota's new Governor to sign as Governor.

If you qualify to OWN a firearm — no prohibitions for criminal record, for example — then you also qualify to carry your firearm.
That's a far cry from, say, New York, where now you can't even bring your gun from one legal residence to the other.
Governor Kristi Noem is set to sign into law a bill allowing anyone legally able to own a gun to carry a concealed firearm.
Today at noon, Noem will hold her first bill-signing ceremony as South Dakota's governor. She will sign into law Senate Bill 47, referred to as the 'constitutional carry' or 'permitless carry' bill. The law will go into effect July 1.
…"Our Founding Fathers believed so firmly in our right to bear arms that they enshrined it into the Constitution," Noem wrote in a tweet. The bill does not address the right to bear arms, only the legal right in this state to carry a concealed firearm without a $10, five-year, background-checked general permit.
Until July 1, carrying a concealed firearm without a permit remains a misdemeanor. Owning and openly carrying a firearm is legal for law-abiding citizens. According to the Secretary of State's office, there were about 107,000 concealed carry permits in the state at the end of last November.

He survived the primaries and got the nomination. He knocked out Crooked Hillary.
He beat CNN at their own game, and left their ratings circling the toilet.
