Streamlining Production with Lean Cells
At their core lean business ideologies aim to do more for the customer while simultaneously consuming fewer resources. Lean processes are often used to optimize manufacturing, but can be applied to all areas of work. At MPE, we have adapted lean principles to our manufacturing processes. Specifically, we have implemented lean manufacturing cells focused on reducing manufacturing lead time.
Some things to keep in mind when designing a lean cell in order to ensure maximum efficiency:
- Keep it as simple as possible.
- The assembly sequence should be logical and sequential. Minimize movement and make sure sub-assemblies are produced at the next point of use.
- Work stations should be ergonomic: keeping the task and the operator in mind.
- The footprint should be compact, but adequate.
- Optimize with visual organization: provide a visible layout of all parts and tools required to complete the task.
- Standardize the work procedure for repeatability. Include quality inspection and error proofing in the process. Minimize over-handling and backtracking.
A fundamentally lean organization equates the epitome of success with creating a perfect value creation process attaining zero waste. A critical shift in managerial style is necessary in order to implement lean manufacturing principles. It redirects the focus from the optimization of separate technologies, assets, and vertical departments to the optimization of the flow of products and/or services through the entirety of the value stream – moving horizontally across the product platform.
In order to stratify our highly diverse product mix we have formed lean manufacturing cells staffed with up to 8 highly skilled team members. In the cell, parts are fabricated utilizing multiple methods, such as cutting, forming, inserting, welding and metal finishing. It requires cross-trained personnel who can proficiently operate multiple machines and/or execute multiple steps within the manufacturing cycle. This workflow negates the formation of Work In Progress (WIP) piles which add to "waste": excess inventory, over-handling.
The reduction of waste, or "trimming of fat", around the overall value stream versus isolated points are less intensive spatially, demands less human effort, and reduces lead time at a reduced cost compared to traditional means of manufacturing. These focused systems allow us to respond to acute changes in our OEM partners' needs in a fraction of the time it would take for traditional manufacturing to adapt.
Our quality has improved alongside our lead times since we've implemented our lean cells. With multiple stations operating in sequence within the cell the part spends more time in the hands of employees making it easier to adjust our processes in accordance with our quality standards. As each part is processed then handed from one operator to the next, the teammate is managing and observing a single part at a time. This increases quality awareness, providing more opportunity to catch imperfections or processing issues. The lower lead times add value for our partners and, in return, increase customer satisfaction.
Read: Using Cellular Manufacturing for Responsiveness
At MPE we strive to apply lean principles to the overarching areas of our business in effort to develop more efficient protocols wherever possible. We know that our most valued insights come from our teammates in charge of doing the work every day therefore we turn to our employees through lean evaluation activities such as GEMBA walks (walk and see the status of work being done) and Continuous Improvement projects to highlight and address areas where workflow can be improved.

text: These are expositions of false teachings that are in some churches. My hope is that the church repents, not that it is condemned. If these churches denounce these teachings i will be very happy and help to share about such a thing. In the meantime, God help us be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves. There are many warnings in the New Testament about false teachers, and it is written that we are to mark those who are straying so wildly from true doctrine and stay away from them. 1st Corinthians says we are to stay away from the greedy too, none of us are perfect yet but if i saw a pastor openly engaged in for example adultery i don't think it matters how many good deeds or miracles they may seem to be doing i cannot recommend anyone go to that church until there is clear repentance and perhaps a time of healing or re-establishing. God guide us and bless you all in Jesus name.

Happy Friday! It's great to be back here on the Beautiful Beasties' Network's blogroll, and I'm realizing that we are already half-way through this 52-Week Project. What an enriching experience! I have learned so much by coming to this space to be inspired each week even when I am not able to participate. The creative and passionate photographers I have met here challenge and encourage, and they have helped me tremendously in my own creative process.
This week's challenge is all about seeing the world in black + white, and I am feeling the excitement that I used to feel when I was first drawn to create images through a lens and watch them come to life in the darkroom. Black + white is where I started and it feels right to go back there from time to time in order to add a little intrigue to the stories behind the photos.
This is Mimi. Many times when I look into her soulful eyes, I wonder how anyone could ever have abandoned her on a viaduct in heavy traffic along a Mexican Highway.
Had it not been for the compassionate work of the International Street Dog Foundation, Ollie would have been another victim of Thailand's illicit dog meat trade.
Oreo has taught me that one person's throw-aways are another person's treasures, that garage sales are fun and that open garage doors offer beautiful natural light on a subject.
I always look forward to viewing the work of Pavlina Sanborn Photography, Saint Augustine, FL, who is next up on the blogroll. Her compassion for animals shines through.

Title : ON THE POSSIBILITIES OF DETECTION OF PERIODIC DISTURBANCES ON A ROUGH SURFACE USING RADIO TECHNIQUES,
Corporate Author : CALIFORNIA UNIV BERKELEY ELECTRONICS RESEARCH LAB
Personal Author(s) : Clarke, R. H.
Report Date : 29 MAY 1964
Pagination or Media Count : 1
Abstract : The theory of reflection of electromagnetic waves from a moving sinusoidal disturbance, on both rough and still water, is presented in a simple approximate form. It is shown that the detection of such a disturbance is, in principle, a practical possibility. Some of the requirements of such a detection system are briefly discussed. The basis of the simplified theory is discussed in detail, and new experimental results are presented to demonstrate the validity of the approach used. (Author)

A Speedier, More Decentralized, More Energy-efficient Consensus Algorithm on the Rise
As cryptocurrency moves into the center of public spotlight amidst volatile growth, much attention has been dedicated to its mammoth energy consumption from mainstream critics.
A report from Morgan Stanley claims that in 2018, mining Bitcoin will consume as much energy as the entire country of Argentina, a country with 44 million inhabitants. By some estimates, Bitcoin is over 5000 times more energy-intensive than VISA per transaction. Annualized mining costs for the network total nearly $2.5 Billion, quite a significant percentage (1.6%) of the currency's market capitalization. In its current form, cryptocurrencies would require an unsustainable level of energy supply and costs to rival our traditional banking system in scale. Slow transaction speeds, with Ethereum transactions often taking up to minutes, do little to justify such a power-hungry network as a viable alternative to existing centralized payment networks such as PayPal.
The picture being painted is one of energy wastage, economic impracticality and antithesis to digital currency's raison d'être of increased transactional efficiency. The focus on price speculation instead of widespread adoption of cryptocurrency as a legitimate payment method further obscures the true benefits and potential of blockchain technologies. However, as I will explain below, a few new startups are beginning to adopt a new consensus algorithm called Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), superior in energy efficiency, speed and decentralization, that may be the first step to a future of diverse decentralized applications.
The energy consumption problem stems from the core consensus algorithm in Bitcoin and Ethereum, known as Proof-of-Work (PoW). First coined in an academic paper in 1999, the algorithm was initially used to prevent denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) by requesting evidence of "work", or expended computing time. Bitcoin and Ethereum applies the idea to ensure the immutability of its ledger, incentivizing individual miners across the world to race on solving computational puzzles and verify a shared block of transactions as quickly as possible. The system is designed so as currency prices rise and more miners are incentivized to participate in the competition, the difficulty of solving puzzles would increase accordingly to counter-balance the spike in overall computing power and ensure a consistent rate of one block generated every 10 minutes. Assuming 100 miners simultaneously race to solve the same block, even if only the 1 winner takes the reward, the other 99 miners would have expended nearly the same amount of power during the race. By its computing-intensive nature, it creates an impossible barrier for hackers to take control of enough mining nodes for any substantial effect on the chain, but also consumes ridiculous amounts of processing power and bandwidth to achieve this purpose.
It is ironic that behind-the-scenes, the two poster childs of digital currency are anything but virtual. Proof-of-Work-based cryptocurrencies' heavy reliance on physical resources in both cheaply available electricity and expensive computer hardware lead to increased centralization of mining in China, estimated to control three-quarters of worldwide Bitcoin supply. The region's operations, however, are now threatened by an impending crackdown by the Chinese government.
Without true decentralization, blockchain-based distributed ledgers would fail to deliver on promises of preventing manipulation, collusion or regulatory interference. Major mining groups can hold the entire chain hostage, known as a 51% attack, by colluding to control a high probability of creating the next block, giving them the power to reject valid transactions as they please. Crackdowns on mining activity by local authorities will also lead to more network congestion, lack of reliability and price volatility.
However, cryptocurrencies are not resigned to a pessimistic future with limited scale, low decentralization and high cost. A new wave of blockchain startups are moving on to experiment with other viable consensus algorithms, a major alternative being Proof-of-Stake (PoS), that generates new blocks based on cleverly designed economic incentives rather than a rat race of computing power. Validators on the network hold a probability of block generation proportional to the amount of tokens they are willing to stake. Hackers have little incentive to attack the chain as they would need to hold a majority of tokens to do so, disrupting the network would only cause their own tokens to depreciate in value. However, critics have expressed concern over the "nothing-at-stake" problem, where validators may stake nothing and fork multiple side chains maliciously to disrupt consensus formation on the main chain. Unlike Proof-of-Work where a hostile fork would not work unless the majority of computing power on the network is willing to switch to the new side chain, causing the attacker to waste its own computing resources, attackers on a PoS network have nothing to risk for forking multiple side chains.
Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) presents one possible solution to this problem by having stakeholders elect witnesses they consider trustworthy to verify the chain and delegates to form a consensus on the network's development. It prevents malicious actors from staking insignificant amount of tokens to attack the chain, while maintaining stakeholders' power to vote on the network through replacing problematic witnesses when necessary. Overall, the network is more fair, decentralized and energy-efficient as heavy capital investment in mining rigs and massive consumption of power are not pre-requisites for becoming a witness, nor will centralized control of tokens give certain validators too much power. Compared to maintaining a chain across tens of thousands of nodes, this voting-based system also requires less nodes run only by elected witnesses and enable use of higher block sizes, leading to faster transaction speeds and lower costs.
One of the companies aiming to make use of the benefits provided by DPoS' lower costs and higher energy efficiency is Dispatch Labs. While Ethereum paved the way for the development of smart contracts and decentralized applications, storing data we regularly consume (e.g. pictures and video) on a distributed ledger is completely impractical due to both its PoW-based validation, small block sizes and large number of nodes. Not only is Dispatch's DPoS-based network more efficient, they devised ways to store large files off-chain, using the ledger only to keep track of the metadata and transaction records, and thus enables development of complex decentralized applications that are comparable to internet services we use every day (e.g. content delivery networks, streaming services.)
Are you still doubting blockchain's path forward giving its existing limitations? There is no reason to be as DPoS just might enable a bright future for the space.

Kirstin Carlin's paintings are musical, modest in size and full of rhythm and colour. Their brushstrokes, like the conductors baton ark through fields of colour, describing form, enhancing texture, offering moments of contrast here and there. In other words, they bring about the right visual pitch. What is most apparent in her work is the direct use of paint spread with a loose technique. The hand of the artist is visible through the thick and heavy applications of paint, energetic dabs leave traces of awareness and autonomy.
Carlin's subjects are often humble, such as found pictures of flowers and thrift shop landscapes. Other times they are quite grand, the works of Francis Hodgkins for example. Concentrating on simple formal components such as the placement of elements within space, Carlin translates these found images into assortments of quick, nonchalant brushstrokes with pale and kitschy colours. Viscous and creamy, her works contain a palette of pale pastels, earthy tones and bitter, vivid, blues and greens. Carlin always brings to this material her formal rigour and energy: a discipline in painting; a love of paint. Her paintings at once move towards and away from an abstracted image, these recognisable subjects become indistinct, yet an essence of the picture is maintained. Carlin's work is embedded in the history of picture making, the idyllic, the scenic and the playful are rendered in impasto so that they become slightly askew.
Born in 1979 Kirstin Carlin currently lives and works in Auckland and she completed a Master of Fine Arts at Glasgow School of Art in 2010. She has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally in artist run spaces, private galleries and public art institutions. Carlin has exhibited at the Bethanien (Berlin), Centre for Contemporary Art (Glasgow), Victor and Hester (Glasgow), the Physics Room (Christchurch) and Snowwhite (Auckland). Kirstin has received recognition for her work from Creative New Zealand Professional Development Funding (2009) and a William and Mary Armour Postgraduate Scholarship at the Glasgow School of Art (2009). Carlin's work is held in major public and private collections including, the James Wallace Arts Trust Collection as well as the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
This article outlines a methodology for wireless network assessment and intrusion detection using proven techniques with tools such as Scapy.
The Methodology: Passive Sniffing
A wireless network consists of several stations, which can be divided into two categories: access points and NICs (network interface cards). These stations communicate using IEEE 802.11 standards. The 802.11 packets that the stations transmit consist of three types of frames: management, control, and data. Each of these frames contains critical information that can help in establishing and managing communication channels between stations.
A wireless network assessment methodology can employ one of two techniques:
This article discusses a passive-sniffing methodology. The following are the steps for this approach:
Setting Up the Station for RF Monitor Mode
When you set up a station for RF monitor mode, its NIC should be able to sniff the 2.4 GHz spectrum to capture 802.11 packets. Most 802.11a/b/g NICs have this capacity. For example, this article uses Linux to set up the NIC and the Linux kernel contains a driver to handle this capability.
Here is the command to put the interface in monitor mode:
root@bluelinux:/home/shreeraj/wifi# iwconfig eth1 mode monitor
root@bluelinux:/home/shreeraj/wifi# iwconfig eth1
eth1 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"" Nickname:"Prism I"
Mode:Monitor Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:11 Mb/s Sensitivity:1/3
Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=76/92 Signal level=-26 dBm Noise level=-149 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Note: For madwifi, you may need to use the wlanconfig command to set it up.
Next, you need to define a channel or frequency on which to perform the packet sniffing. Use the following command (example for channel 11):
root@bluelinux:/home/shreeraj/wifi# iwconfig eth1 channel 11
You also can channel-hop to sniff different channels by assigning a slice of time to each of them.

Canada Markets
Week 36 Grain Handling Statistics
Week 36 statistics, released by the Canadian Grain Commission for the week ending April 9, shows producer deliveries of all major grains into licensed facilities totaling 40.903 million metric tons, 1.85 mmt or 4.7% higher than the same period in 2015/16 and 17.9% higher than the five-year average. While wheat deliveries into the licensed handling system (excluding durum) are approximately 1.3 mmt lower than last year, the largest year-over-year increase is seen in canola delivered by producers (1.5 mmt) and dry peas (1.1 mmt), with the cumulative increase in brackets.
Shipments from primary elevators as of week 36 are also ahead of both the previous crop year as well as the five-year average. Total shipments from primary elevators are reported at 32 mmt, 2.7% higher than in 2015/16 and 16.7% higher than the five-year average. Of the 15 grains listed, shipments of 10 crops are ahead of this time last year. So far this crop year, shipments of canola are slightly more than 1 mmt ahead of last year, while shipments of dry peas are close to 1 mmt ahead of this time last year. Shipments of wheat lags, down 1.7 mmt from the same period in 2015/16.
Despite the aggressive movement into the system and shipments from primary elevators, the export of grains from licensed facilities slightly lags year-ago volumes. As of April 9, a combined total of 28.972 mmt of the major grains had been exported from licensed facilities, down 1.2% from 2015/16, but 16.3% higher than the five-year average. The largest draws on 2015/16 performance are seen with wheat, at 2.2 mmt behind last year's pace, and durum, at 442,600 metric tons behind last year's pace. The largest gains are seen with peas (697,700 mt), canola (672,400 mt) and soybeans (539,400 mt), with the year-over-year increase in brackets.
At roughly 3.616 mmt, stocks of grain in the licensed handling system are 10.1% higher than seen in the same period in 2015/16 and 12.1% higher than the five-year average. Stocks have fallen for the third consecutive week after exceeding 4 mmt in week 33, while this week's stocks represent 51% of the total reported capacity of 7.0962 mmt and 78% of the estimated working capacity of 4.6125 mmt utilized by Quorum Corporation.

Behind the Scenes of a Commercial Records Center
A professional records storage service saves you time and money and protects your vital business information from theft and disaster. But if you've never been inside a commercial records center, you may not realize how it works or the full value it offers. Join us as we take you behind the scenes of a commercial records center.
A commercial records center is a highly-secure facility that keeps your most sensitive and confidential information secure with a three-point security system featuring the following:
- Fences
- Internal and external surveillance cameras
- Security guards
The perimeter fencing of the campus features barbed wire and monitored access gates. Only screened and background-checked records management professionals have unlimited access to the records center.
Design and Layout
You can take an escorted tour of a commercial records center, only after showing your identification, being issued a security badge, and signing a non-disclosure agreement. Once inside, you'll notice how clean and organized the facility is. It's clear that documents aren't just stored—they're managed. Hundreds of thousands of custom records cartons are neatly stored in clean, straight rows on high-density shelving units stacked over two stories high. Separate areas within the facility contain document restoration systems and even on-site audit rooms that let clients view their records in privacy and comfort.
Specialized technology is needed to manage so many boxes of documents. A commercial records center features a state-of-the-art barcode system that enables any document to be retrieved and delivered in as little as an hour. Records center clients can use a secure online database to view and manage their offsite inventory and request the documents they need anytime day or night, seven days a week.
When a record is requested, a records management professional with a portable, handheld scanner scans the barcode on the carton and retrieves it from its record center location. Once the barcode is scanned, the retrieval is logged in the computer system. Then the item is placed on a GPS-tracked vehicle for delivery.
Clients can also choose to have their stored documents scanned upon request and delivered digitally with a Scan on Demand service.
Disaster Protection
A commercial records center is designed to offer ultimate protection for documents against fires, earthquakes, floods and natural disasters. The building itself is designed for structural integrity to withstand extreme weather conditions. Comprehensive fire suppression systems protect the endless rows of documents from fire and smoke. In-rack sprinklers provide rapid fire suppression in document storage areas, so even hard-to-reach areas are safeguarded.
Beyond the facility, security systems and technology, a commercial record center must be staffed by regularly background-screened, continuously trained records management professionals. All records center employees are required to wear uniforms and identification badges and follow documented chain of custody procedures that ensure client privacy protection.
Now that you've had an inside look at a commercial records center, use the features and criteria described here to get the most value from a records storage service.

Description: The SPICE (Smart Precise Impact and Cost Effective guidance kit) is a forward and tail kit evolved from the proven Popeye missile intended to convert dumb/unguided bombs into smart guided air-to-surface munitions droppable from standoff ranges. It uses an advanced electro-optical guidance system to achieve outstanding precision against high value targets. Moreover, it is a 'fire and forget' weapon that automatically goes to its target once launching relying only on its navigation/seeker system. It was developed by Rafael mainly for use in the armed forces of Israel.
The Spice-1000 is a guidance mounted kit mounted on standard 1,000 pounds Mk 83 warhead/bomb. It consists of a forward section kit that homes the sensor package, an inner small wing kit and the control section replacing the tail of standard Mk 83 bomb. All in all, the Spice-1000 has tail control planes and inner small wing totaling 6 control surfaces in four tail control surfaces and the two control surfaces shaping the small wing. The resulting weapon has a range greater than 60 kilometers with less than 3 meters Circular Error Probable (CEP) and can hit ground target with pinpoint accuracy. The Spice-1000 range has not been released but it is assumed that is far greater than 60 kilometers thanks to the small wing provided to this weapon.
This weapon has day, night and adverse weather capability because of its dual infrared IR/CCD-TV seeker and advanced scene-matching algorithms. At close-in ranges, the weapon recognizes the target and correlates it with the intelligence imagery stored into memory. This capability translates into the ability to overcome target location error and GPS jamming. By the way, the weapon can choose among 100 potential targets and multiple weapons can be released at the same time providing simultaneous attack against various targets located across a given area capability.
The Spice-1000 was designed for easy integration into many single-seat and twin-seat fighting aircraft with minimum aircraft modification, maintenance and crew training in order to operate the weapon. It has been successfully integrated onto the F-15, F-16 and Tornado aircraft. The weapon was launched in June 2005 and was developed by Rafael with the aim to attract more export orders than its predecessor the Spice-2000 weapon due to its low weight and enhanced aerodynamics. It is expected the weapon to achieve operational capability with Israeli Air Force shortly.

Diamonds and Dogs
Constellation Brands (STZ) jumped 6% to a four month high thanks to beer sales and their investment in cannabis. Beer and wine sales at Constellation Brands led their industry in the fiscal year ending February. But when the company reported earnings this morning, the cash it made from booze was dwarfed by gains on its investment in the cannabis business Canopy Growth. While Constellation earned half a billion bucks on its alcohol operations in the quarter ending February, the stock market's enthusiasm for marijuana's added a $1.2 billion gain in the value of Canopy securities that Constellation owns.
Tesla (TSLA) had a bad day. The electronic car maker dropped 8% not far from a 52-week low after reporting a 31% decline in Q1 deliveries and said the results will negatively affect the company's Q1 net income. On a related note, a U.S. judge ordered the SEC and CEO Elon Musk to meet and settle their dispute over the next two weeks. The SEC had sought to hold Mr. Musk in contempt regarding an unchecked tweet pertaining to Tesla's operations.

STEVE Evans felt his Gillingham side were too respectful of Oxford United in the first half of their clash at Priestfield.
Tariqe Fosu's high-quality strike was the difference between the sides at the break.
United had been in control of the game, but came under more pressure in a second half where Brandon Hanlan's penalty earned a 1-1 draw.
Also read: Gillingham 1, Oxford Utd 1 - match report
Evans thought a point apiece was the right result, after needing to get a response from his players at the break.
He told Kent Online: "I was full of praise afterwards and said that if we played like that for 95 minutes, which is easy for the manager to say, we would beat Oxford, it is simple as that.
"But if you take the totality of the game, I think I'll wake up in the morning and be thinking a point shared is a probably deserved for both teams."
He added: "(In the first half) we seemed a yard off the pace, we didn't have any composure, we didn't pick the right pass, it was over-hit or under-hit.
Also read: Oxford United gave everything in draw at Gillingham, says Karl Robinson
"We probably stood off them and maybe as a management team we were a little to blame, maybe we spoke too glowingly in terms of how good a side Oxford are.
"They had to score a special goal, from a real special talent.
"It's a great goal but Stuart (O'Keefe) should have done better. We had identified what this kid could do, we said about him coming inside."

End Of Tube Review: Cantu Care For Kids Curling Cream
Damn that tube looks like it's seen some things. Bashed to hell, the label coming off in my hand every time I touch it. I have to admit that I'm a bit on the fence about how important curl patterns are to me and my kids. Sometimes its a thing that bothers me. Other days I'm just grateful that all of my little people stayed still long enough for me to spritz their hair. First and foremost, I'm interested in all of our hair being properly moisturised. Healthy hair will look good and that is ultimately the goal. Healthy hair.…

Snip, Snip, Snip: Why Trimming Is Fundamental
Trimming. I didn't want to do it. I really didn't want to do it. I even went on a forum asking if my "symptoms" meant I actually needed to trim. I knew they did, I just didn't want to admit it. I DID NOT WANT TO TRIM MY HAIR. Especially since the fro was looking frolicious at my last length check.
End Of Tub Review: As I Am Coconut CoWash – Cleansing Cream Conditioner
This is a product that my lovely mother bought for me on one of her trips to the US. She's been there a few times in the last couple of years without me, may I add, no bitterness…at all. I was so excited to crack this open would be an understatement. There are lots of products in lots of lists of the best conditioner, the best co-wash, this and that. I don't want to be guided by others on MY journey of discovery. I couldn't ignore all the positive reviews of this product. And the fact that my Mum paid…
Progress Check – June 2017
It's that time of year for another little progress check. I suppose the first thing I need to say is that the hair is growing and I actually believe it. I think I spent the first few months of this journey in denial that anything was happening up top but I can see it, I believe it and I am starting to love it. I spent the last few months thinking that I would be my own natural hair meme and that the 5 in my pic above would be me on the fifth year hair anniversary sporting the same…

A gay Republican group thanked Gov. Nathan Deal for vetoing an anti-gay "religious freedom" bill, just as conservative activists prepare to berate him at the state GOP convention in Augusta this weekend.
Georgia Republicans for the Future greeted convention-goers on Thursday with a banner that applauds Deal in large all caps letters: "THANK YOU GOVERNOR DEAL." (photo below) The group fought anti-gay legislation earlier this year and helped counter the anti-LGBT push from religious conservatives in the party.
"We are proud to stand with Republicans from across the state of Georgia in thanking our Republican Governor in vetoing House Bill 757. There are many delegates in attendance that agree with the courageous leadership of Governor Deal, but there are thousands more that are not in attendance who support his leadership," Allen Fox (photo), the group's director, said in a prepared statement.
"We agree with him that Georgia is a welcoming, loving and inclusive place. That sentiment, along with Governor Deal's conservative leadership, has made Georgia the best place in the nation to do business. There is nothing more conservative than that. We are blessed that our state avoided the economic catastrophe seen recently in North Carolina and Mississippi. That is solely due to Governor Deal," Fox added.
State Sen. Josh McKoon – the voice of anti-gay "religious freedom" efforts who now threatens legislation aimed at transgender students – criticized the gay GOP group and Deal in a Facebook post on Thursday. Because of course he did.
"Here early for this weekend's Georgia Republican Convention. Allen Fox and "Georgia Republicans For the Future" (the shadowy group whose donors are secret) have hung a banner thanking Governor Deal for killing the religious freedom legislation passed overwhelmingly by the Georgia General Assembly earlier this year. What a slap in the face to grassroots Republican leaders!"
Deal vetoed an anti-gay "religious freedom" bill on March 28, quieting a growing national backlash that threatened the state's economy and lucrative film industry. But it inflamed anti-gay lawmakers and pastors, religious activists and a swath of party faithful. Gay Atlanta rallied to thank Deal for the veto, but anti-gay activists spanked him in April by voting to "censure" him.
Those same embittered activists are threatening further retaliation during the GOP convention in Augusta. They are still mad, especially Tanya Ditty. The state director of Concerned Women for America has revised her anti-gay attacks of the past to become more of an ignorant grandmother instead of a bitter troll. But still, she's pissed at Deal and seeking her pound of flesh, according to the AJC.
The unrest among his critics only intensified after the governor rejected "campus carry" legislation that would have legalized firearms on most parts of public college campuses. Tanya Ditty of the Georgia chapter of the Concerned Women of America, an outspoken critic of Deal's vetoes, said several resolutions critical of Deal's tenure are pending.
"There is a lot of disappointment, frustration, distrust and anger with Gov. Deal," she said, echoing many grassroots activists who have lashed out at the vetoes in the last two months.
The fuss over Deal's vetoes is being fueled by anti-gay grassroots activists. The bigger pool of Republican voters in the state aren't nearly as concerned, state GOP Chair John Padgett told 1340AM. Via the AJC:
"I think the vetoes would prove to be fairly unpopular here at this convention. You know, the Republicans in the state –the million or so who vote Republican every election cycle – are probably not as conservative as couple of thousand that come to the Republican convention, that are inside the party, having been elected to come here a grassroots around the state.
"It's a pretty conservative group, and those two issues were very conservative issues. With the veto, it just didn't go the way that the people at the Capitol and a good portion of our base would have wanted it to go.
"The governor had his reasons for doing it, and he would tell you if you look at the polls, generally across the state, they were about a 50-50 [issue]. But I don't know who they were polling. I can tell you they were not popular vetoes here with this convention."
And Harry Abrams, a GOP activist in Cherokee County, told the AJC that the grassroots activists driving the push to smack down Deal are a bit out of touch.
Still, yet another group of Republican stalwarts say the push back is overblown and the resolutions are little more than soon-forgotten paper. Harry Abrams, a Cherokee County GOP activist, said the angst over Deal will do little in the long run to block his second-term goal of overhauling the state's education system next year.
"The noisy and always vocal usual suspects are clamoring for his head," said Abrams. "But they actually have little to say in representing the life of the average Georgia citizen."
A WSB poll bolstered their arguments. The poll in May showed that more likely voters in Georgia agreed with Deal's veto than disagreed. Not that the results stopped McKoon from twisting them to support his argument to revisit the legislation again in 2017.
Deal, for his part, is skipping the GOP convention this weekend. That's too bad. Gay Republicans could have bought him a cocktail.

As part of the current MWC 2019 Nubia plans to show the original smart phone bracelet with a flexible display. The Chinese smartphone maker is confident that it is in this performance that smartphones are as comfortable to use as possible.
At the beginning of autumn, the company was already showing the first prototype of its nubia-α or the future smartphone. Many experts expect that this time a commercial version of the gadget will be shown in Barcelona.
Ni Fei noted that flexible screens are the most convenient for carrying on hand and this decision is the future, but talking about mass production is still premature.

| 7.4°C Dublin
Business Secretary Lord Mandelson got out of a tangle when visiting the site of the London Gateway port.
Lord Mandelson arrived at site offices with the belt of his overcoat incorrectly buttoned and twisted at the back.
He chatted to staff and examined scale models of the port unaware of the problem.
But an onlooker pointed out the twist and an aide helped put the buttons in the right holes.
Meanwhile the Prime Minister found himself under scrutiny from an unlikely source at the port, as a fox watched his arrival.
The animal sat on the grass near the entrance to the construction site offices for around 10 minutes as the Prime Minister's convoy arrived.
Site workers said the fox visited the site daily and appeared to be tame.
"It's usually around when the sandwich van arrives," said one worker. "It's almost a pet."
