Advice from experienced crocheters to those starting out!

A while back, I asked my readers to give me their words of encouragement & advice to those just learning crochet. Here are some of their answers. This page should just be in your favorites so you can come back to it as needed!

Add your own advice in the comments!

Julie xx

Check your gauge! I know you’re excited to start, but do it. And if you can, take a class with a reputable teacher!

Add stitch markers to the start of rows and rounds & always count your stitches!

When you’re just starting, you’re going to have to start over a lot. Don’t get discouraged: it happens to all of us. That’s how you get experience: through patience!

I’d say that mistakes are what make you learn! Don’t be afraid to ask for help, and don’t skip steps. Crocheting the same stitch over and over when you’re tired won’t help. You’re better off waiting until you’re full of energy to learn.

You’re not going to reproduce what you see in the pattern photo the 1st time… Crochet can hurt your hands and wrists if you do it too long… Do not forget to make things for yourself when you start, otherwise you’ll like this art less.

Buy the yarn you want to crochet with. I like hand spun and indie dyed yarn, I’m much more motivated to crochet if I’m working with yarn that I like.

Be patient and don’t be afraid to rip it out and start over or do like I do and just keep going if you’re too far in because I’m not a perfectionist. I do it for fun ….have fun!

Try the hard patterns, even if you think your skills aren’t “there” yet! The more you try or practice, the better you’ll become….none of us became good at crochet overnight!

There is no right or wrong way to hold the hook and yarn. Do what is comfortable for you. Don’t get discouraged, you’ll get it and will soon be hooked! (pardon the pun)

Tension is key to making a perfect project, not too tight not too loose. Second only to gauge! Gauge swatch always!!!

Take your time. Learn to read patterns right when you start, so you don’t create bad habits and assume you just can’t crochet. Ask questions. Frog as needed. Learn each step without rushing, even those steps you like less.

Take care of your hands and wrists. Stretch before-during-after crocheting, and relax your neck and shoulders. At first, you’ll be tense because of stress/concentration. You really do not want to injure yourself. You need your tools : hands.

What helped me when I started was to look at charts & written instructions. I got used to the stitches this way, and now I can work with charts alone. And don’t forget the swatch…

Always count your stitches, or use stitch markers every 5-10 stitches. I’m teaching someone and this what has helped her the most

Start with the basics: chaining and single crochet. Use a light colored yarn so you can see your stitches clearly, and use a large hook to see your stitches. Take your time and practice.

Use markers at every row or round (at both ends if you have trouble remembering where the first stitch of the previous row is), count your stitches! But have fun and it’s ok to put your project in time out!

Make kilometers of chains until they’re all pretty and even. Then, work around a closed circle: it’s easier than figuring out where to stitch into chains and work rows. I think granny squares are a good place to start.

In my opinion you should start by testing a bunch of hooks (straight, with handles, with thumb print). They are not one size fits all.

As you know, you quickly become addicted to crochet! Swatching is essential, but so is blocking to make your piece keep its shape!

Take your time; hold the hook and yarn in what is okay for you; learn in what is best for you – written or visual; and most of all don’t let others push you beyond your comfort level.

Don’t get discouraged! It’s rare that our first stitches are perfect. Persevere! And learn to read patterns! It’s so much more fun than trying to keep up with a YouTube video. Experiment! Change the colour of the yarn: your project does not have to be a replica of the original!

Don’t find twenty different patterns and get overwhelmed trying to do everything. You have time to take it slow.

Start with a simple yarn, pale. Don’t go under a 4.5 or 5mm hook so you can see your stitches well. I wish I’d known this.

Tracy Marie

I would say to never underestimate the importance of making a gauge swatch when following a pattern that includes a gauge swatch.

When you follow your first pattern, it might not be perfect. Don’t be scared to start over. Persevere! Videos can help a lot – you can work and look at them to make things easier.

Ch, sl st, sc, hdc, dc…. these are all you need to know! 99% of patterns are just a combination of these stitches!

This is a really expensive hobby to have.

Don’t use acrylic !

ACCROchet Sometimes it’s fine. I usually suggest to buy the best yarn you can afford, one project at a time. You’ll spend so much time on it, might as well be enjoyable. I prefer natural, but sometimes that’s impractical!

I’m more of a knitter, I’m just starting to crochet. I think that with either of these, your tools will absolutely help. Moi je

Learn to read yarn labels. Use the right hook for the yarn, and the right yarn for the project (for example, you need nylon in socks, cotton does not hold heat in, etc.)

Trust yourself. You can accomplish a lot. Get help from teachers or YouTube!

Lynton & Barnstaple ‘Howard’ bogie goods van

These bogie vans were ordered by the Southern Railway to strengthen the fleet it acquired with the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway.  The four vans were built by J & F Howard of Bedford in 1927 and featured sliding doors and ‘X’ barcing, the latter changed to diagonal bracing in 1934, just a year before they were withdrawn and scrapped!  In 2002 the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Trust acquired the last remains of one so there is still the slim chance that one may yet be resurrected.

Since the vans only ever carried Southern livery we will be offering them in SR brown and L&B grey (data only).  The UK RRP will be £100.00 each.  We feel that they will make a great generic van, of a type seen all round the world on 2’ gauge networks and are sure they will be very popular in consequence.

These vans are manufactured from plastic with die cast bogies and have an additional 32mm wheel set supplied so the customer can change gauges.

  • Scale: 16mm to 1 foot (1:19)
  • Length over couplings: 518mm
  • Width: 114mm
  • Height: 139mm
  • Gauge: 32mm or 45mm
  • Min Radius: 900mm (3 feet)

Versions available, subject to production batch:

R19-25A SR ‘Howard’ Van – SR Brown – #47042 #47043 #47044 #47045
R19-25B SR ‘Howard’ Van – L&B Grey – Data Only

Andromeda3 Relies on JetStor® Storage Solutions to Deliver Innovative & Secure Hybrid Clouds

Public clouds offer scalability and economy, and running enterprise applications on them can make sense. But keeping data on them, particularly sensitive customer information, is another matter thanks to corporate compliance and privacy regulations that require firms to maintain control over their data. Control can be challenging when data are kept in public clouds rather than the dedicated networks of private clouds.

Cloud provider Andomeda3, based in Ashburn, Virginia, offers NovusCloud, an innovative hybrid cloud solution that integrates the best attributes of public and private clouds. Architected from the data layer up, NovusCloud allows businesses to keep their applications on public clouds and their high-value data in Andomeda3’s private cloud where they have greater control and security. Customers can also store data from their own data centers on Andomeda3’s private cloud for further protection and then replicate the data to Andomeda3’s facilities for disaster recovery (DR).

Yutong Bus to serve FIFA Club World Cup Qatar 2020
Joining hands with Mowasalat (Karwa), Qatar's major transportation service provider, Zhengzhou Yutong Bus Co., Ltd. (Yutong Bus) to serve FIFA Club World Cup Qatar 2020

ZHENGZHOU, China, Feb 14, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - On 4 February 2021, the 17th edition of the FIFA Club World Cup(TM) officially kicked off in Qatar, with top football clubs from five continents gathered in Doha. Among them are UEFA Champions League winners FC Bayern Munchen and host country representatives Al-Duhail SC, with other teams including SE Palmeiras from Brazil, Ulsan Hyundai FC from the Korea Republic, Mexican team Tigres UANL and Egyptian side Al Ahly SC. They will present a feast of football for fans around the world.

Joining hands with Mowasalat (Karwa), Qatar's major transportation service provider, Yutong Bus will be devoted to serving FIFA Club World Cup Qatar 2020. Yutong Bus's star product ZK6122H9 will also provide full service to launch international events, bringing players a safe, comfortable and high-end event travel experience.

Professional Quality, Choice of Champions

Taking into consideration the special geographic conditions of Qatar, and to better serve the FIFA Club World Cup Qatar 2020, Yutong Bus has specifically customized the buses. It has improved the air conditioning systems and vehicle heat-shielding performance to adapt to the local hot climate. Yutong also upgraded the vehicle sealing and chassis protection, etc., to guarantee the lasting operation of the vehicles in windy and sandy weather, and to ensure the sustainable operation.

What's worth mentioning is that Yutong Bus cooperated with Mowasalat (Karwa) on the vehicle design and made adjustments and optimizations with regard to driver protection, interior layout and color collocation. It then optimized the buses' design accordingly to satisfy the needs of clients.

Win-Win Cooperation brings 'Better Bus Better Life'

The order was placed by Mowasalat (Karwa), the Qatar public transport company. This marks the second cooperation between Yutong and Mowasalat (Karwa) after Yutong received an order of 1002 buses in November, 2020.

It is Yutong Bus's strong professional technical strength, high-quality products and services, and rich experience in operation assurance in the field of new energy buses, that won trust from its partner and guaranteed the second cooperation with Mowasalat (Karwa).

Yutong has always provided more than just buses, but opportunities for a Win-Win cooperation. The company has signed an agreement with Qatar to establish KD factory for electric buses in this country, to serve Qatar's environmentally friendly vehicle transformation strategy, enhance the supporting capabilities of the auto industry, drive the development of the auto industry cluster, and help optimize local transportation upgrades.

In retrospect of the year 2020, the passenger car industry faced severe challenges. Yet as an industry shepherd, Yutong Bus has made outstanding progress, including active deployment in emerging fields, such as hydrogen-fueled buses and autonomous driving; and continues to consolidate its leading advantages in the fields of traditional buses and electric buses.

Yutong Bus maintained a fast-growing global presence in 2020 including 760 units of buses delivered to Kazakhstan, 130 units to Mexico as the world's largest order of dual-powered trolleybus, 102 units to Norway and held the official opening of its spare parts centre in Lens, France. Those orders demonstrate the strong brand strength, but also reflect Yutong's industry responsibility to actively promote the recovery of global transportation.

Adhering to the brand concept of 'Better Bus, Better Life', Yutong Bus continues to broaden the road to internationalization, and hopes to gain greater world recognition and trust with the strength and reputation of its brand.

FBI Busts Massive Fentanyl Ring Running Out of Dept of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs in D.C.

By Matt Agorist

Washington, D.C. — Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided a government agency last week to execute a search warrant looking for evidence of a fentanyl drug ring. During the raid on the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, FBI agents found the fentanyl they were looking for and discovered a massive heroin and fentanyl ring being run out of the government building just a few feet from an elementary school.

According to investigators, undercover agents caught Darrell Marcellus Pope operating the massive drug ring in which thousands of dollars of fentanyl and heroin were being sold. The FBI reported that the drug ring stretched over multiple states from Woodbridge, Virginia, to D.C. to Pope’s Clinton, Maryland, home.

According to court documents, “Pope was observed outside his office building on foot and walking up to meet” the undercover officer. On multiple occasions Pope sold the detective varying amounts of fentanyl or heroin and fentanyl—some transactions were for as little as two grams, and one was for as much as 30 grams, the affidavit says.

As NBC4 reports:

The operation employed drivers who regularly drove people from Prince William County to D.C. so they could buy drugs from Pope, according to court documents. The drugs were sold at $100 per gram. In at least one sale, Pope was seen with a Glock 9mm pistol.

FBI agents found an ounce of the deadly drugs at Pope’s home and also found fentanyl at his workspace inside DCRA headquarters, where Pope was arrested. When he was taken into custody, Pope had 30 grams of fentanyl on him, according to court documents.

Although fentanyl was discovered in locations inside the agency at which other employees had access, the FBI announced that they did not think the entire agency was behind the ring.

“Yesterday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Washington Field Office executed a search warrant related to an ongoing investigation,” Deputy Mayor for Operations and Infrastructure Lucinda Babers told DCist in an email statement. “The search was executed at the employee’s work station at the District’s Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs. The employee was placed on administrative leave today. The search warrant is not related to any agency operations.”

The idea that the FBI discovered a drug ring operating out of the DCRA is incredibly ironic given the agency’s mission of “protecting the health and safety of residents.” However, it should not be surprising. Government agents are often times the largest offenders in the State’s war on drugs.

As TFTP reported last year, a New York Police Department officer was arrested after she was caught running a massive cross-country heroin trafficking ring, all while using her badge as a cover to keep police away from the operations.

The Drug Enforcement Administration began investigating NYPD Officer Yessenia Jimenez, 31, in January 2018 after they found the phone number of her boyfriend, Luis Soto, 33, on the cell phone of a narcotics trafficking suspect.

The investigation concluded that Jimenez and Soto were conducting a heroin trafficking operation that stemmed Mexico to New York. The New York Daily News reported that the pair was arrested after they made a trip to Massachusetts to meet with a heroin trafficker.

Before that, a massive raid was carried out by the FBI of the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office and the Hammond Police Department. The raids were part of a year-long investigation into a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency task force accused of a massive conspiracy to rob drug dealers and profit from selling the stolen narcotics. Two entire police departments were shut down after they were implicated in a multi-state drug ring.

As the Free Thought Project reported before that, a California police officer was busted after driving 247 pounds of marijuana all the way across the country. Yuba County Deputy Christopher M. Heath was caught in York, Pennsylvania with a shipment of marijuana that was worth over $2 million.

These people were responsible for putting nonviolent people in prison for using and selling drugs. Meanwhile, they were all selling drugs and taking part in the same actions for which they advocated locking people up. State hypocrisy at its finest.

Link between union-bashing bill and public health campaigns

Link between union-bashing bill and public health campaigns

The fight for public safety and to secure justice and billions of dollars’ worth of compensation for asbestos victims would not have been won without a campaign of work stoppages, boycotts and protests.

In light of this history and with silicosis posing a growing threat to Australian workers, Asbestos victims have travelled to Parliament House to warn that the proposed Ensuring Integrity Bill would reduce the ability of unions to protect the public and working people.

The campaign to rid Australia of asbestos has been led by working people and their representatives, but the ability for unions to inspect workplaces and keep the public and their members safe would be severely limited under this bill.

Under the Ensuring Integrity Bill, a union official who visited a workplace without providing 24 hours notice would risk being disqualified from office and could face having their entire union shut down.

These new laws will give big business many more opportunities to prevent unions from organising to bring any wrongdoing to light by bogging them down in endless, costly litigation, limiting unions capacity to fight for justice for the next victims of workplace negligence.

This bill will make Australian workplaces and the public less safe and must be opposed.

Quotes attributable to Dr Chris Clarke:

“As a Respiratory Physician specialising in occupational lung disease, I have witnessed the resurgence of occupational lung diseases that were once confined to the history books.

“There are coal workers with pneumoconiosis and factory workers with silicosis. These diseases are completely preventable.

“The increase in self-regulation of safety, and the reduction or abolition of safety inspectors would appear to coincide with this rise in these occupational lung diseases. An employee who used their volunteer run health and safety committee to advocate for life saving reform could fall foul of this ill thought out Act.

“If the Government and cross bench pass the Ensuring Integrity Bill I fear that community volunteers and advocates within the union movement who fight for the right of everyone to come home safely from work would be hamstrung.

“I have seen the life changing work the union movement did in securing justice for my patients, the majority of whom were victims of diseases caused by workplace and environmental exposure to asbestos. I fear that the passing of this bill means the next generation suffering from diseases due to workplace negligence would be left to fight on their own or have their strongest advocates become criminals.”

Quotes attributable to AMWU National Secretary Paul Bastian:

“James Hardie tried to short-change sufferers of asbestos diseases by over $4 billion. Without our campaign of work stoppages, boycotts and protests, we would not have achieved justice for the victims of these horrific diseases. Under current workplace laws, these activities are illegal.

“If Scott Morrison’s union busting bill is passed, the delegates, organisers and officials that campaigned for justice for sufferers of asbestos-diseases could be excluded from the leadership of our union and our union could be deregistered.

“If these laws had existed at the time, there’s a real chance James Hardie could have successfully used them to tie up our union and our officials in costly and time-consuming legal actions in an attempt to defeat us. That would have affected not only our union, but the many Australians suffering from asbestos diseases.

“We can’t allow the next James Hardie to use the new powers in these laws to prevent victims from achieving justice.”

Quotes attributable to ACTU President Michele O’Neil:

“History tells us that threats to workers and the public’s health like asbestos only get tackled when workers stand together in their unions and demand change. If this Bill had been law during the fight to ban asbestos and hold James Hardy to account we would have seen unions shut down for actions to ensure public and worker safety.

“No worker should be afraid to stand up and say they feel unsafe, or that they are worried about a co-worker or the public. This Scott Morrison union busting bill would mean that workers simply trying to protect themselves and the community could face their entire union being shut down.

“Four people every week die at work, thousands die every year from workplace-related illnesses. We need stronger protections for workers and the public, not a bill which give employers unprecedented power. Unions play an important role in standing up against the abuse of corporate power.

“There is no ensuring integrity bill for the companies who continue to breach the ban on importing asbestos. Directors of companies who routinely put workers lives at risk are not disqualified. This union busting bill is about silencing working people and making workers and the public less safe. It must be stopped.”

Watch Shrek Forever After Movie Online Trailers

You’ve likely seen a minumum of of those Shrek films (you will find three until now). Each of these movies has really been a hit and also this is the reason why they are earning a fourth largest one. Regrettably, Shrek Forever Following can be likely to be the last installment from the set. No-more Shrek movies later this particular one.

You can see Shrek Forever After picture on the web trailers to get an image of what’s certainly going to occur in this next movie. Shrek is delivered into your nightmare where all he likes to be ordinary will be upside down. The kingdom of Far Far Away is ruined, and ogres have been hunted along with also his friends don’t know who he’s. His wife ดูหนัง, Fiona, will not understand Shrek both. This movie will look great, as all the known and loved characters are there, but with a spin.

That is likewise full of updated information about Shrek for ever After, you will find a picture gallery along with a video portion with all of the trailers that were released. The website also contains a game and loads of other fun stuff, therefore be sure you see it.

. Only try to find this and you will surely find it. You will see that just about every character is that, as they know , but have been shifted somewhat a bit to keep things more interesting. I really like the simple fact that Donkey is understand dirtier and appears a good deal older, Puss has increased in burden somewhat, to say the very least, and Shrek needs to accommodate to all this. I am expecting a excellent picture.

Woman held for torturing minor domestic help

A 58-year-old woman was arrested for allegedly torturing a minor girl whom she had employed as domestic help, police said.

Acting on a tip-off that a nine-year-old girl was being tortured by a family residing at Pataliputra Nagar in suburban Oshiwara, the police swung into action and rescued her on Saturday.

Subsequently, the woman who had employed her as maid was arrested, senior police inspector Subhash Vele said.

“During preliminary investigation, we found bruises on the girl’s body. She has now been sent to Dongri children’s rehabilitation home,” Vele said.

The accused woman’s daughter, who also allegedly tortured the minor girl, is at large, he said, adding that a search was on for her.

The woman had brought the minor girl from her native place in Jharkhand 3-4 months ago. She used to torture her frequently and hit her with a rolling pin used in kitchen.

“The woman is in police custody and we are trying to ascertain the whereabouts of the girl’s parents as she is unable to give any concrete information,” said Vele.

The accused has been booked under sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 324, 334, 370 (buying or disposing of any person as a slave) and 374 (unlawful compulsory labour), police added.

See where Yamaha is going with its new mid-size ATV

It’s no secret that farmers have to spend a lot of time working on machinery, but that’s not always how we want to be using our time. So when something comes along that is useful around the fields and pastures and doesn’t require a whole ton of upkeep … well, we’re listening.

Just a few weeks ago, Yamaha released its first mid-size ATV, the Kodiak 450, and it has a lot of features that’ll make farmers happy. And best of all, you won’t find yourself having to tinker with it in the shop.

To minimize the need for maintenance, it has features such as the well-known and durable Ultramatic transmission, a rear sealed brake, and easy access to the air filter.

“You don’t have to be working on the machine all the time. You want to focus on getting your job done,” said Scott Newby with Yamaha Outdoors. The company was showcasing this machine at the Ag Media Summit, which has been held the past few days in Utah.

The 450 caters toward introductory riders, but because of the versatility of the motor, it’s suitable for those with more experience. The chassis feels compact, and the handlebar is taller and swept back compared with other models — this allows for both shorter and taller riders to find a comfortable fit.

For farmers who need to get off and on often, say to open and close gates, the cockpit area is open and makes those tasks easier.

“ATVs are great on a farm because of the nimbleness of them and the versatility of them. The compact size lets you get around some tight areas, especially if you don’t need a side-by-side for the dump bed,” Newby said. “You can also buy a lot of accessories that go on an ATV — a brush hog, a sprayer, a seeder on the back.”

A few more perks to know:

  • It has on-command 2WD/4WD, so that you can select how you want to drive.
  • Everything is assembled in the good ol’ U.S. of A., in Yamaha’s Georgia facility.
  • The towing capacity is 1,322 pounds
  • It’s prewired for a winch up front
  • There’s lots of underseat storage.
  • MSRP is $5,999

Precision farming with Agricon

Best use of machines, operating resources and work time

FarmFarmFleetFleetBase fertilizationBase fertilizationN-fertilizationN-fertilizationPlant protectionPlant protection

Who is Agricon?

Agricon is a precision farming specialist for information-guided, knowledge-based and automated crop production.

Precision Farming, Smart Farming, Digital Farming, Precision Landscape or even sub-plot management are terms that describe the same aspect: the use of digital technologies in agriculture. In animal production, the equivalent is called Precision Lifestock. There are three major application areas in field agriculture:

  • Automation of the work of tractors and equipment,
  • digitization of the office and
  • Precision farming, which is also known as sub-area-specific crop cultivation.

<iframe src="" id="flockler-embed-iframe-17a65ed095603654fc6daea409c2a36a" height="440" style="display: block; border: none; width: 100%;"> </iframe>

The core of precision farming is solving an agronomic question correctly

 At the beginning is the agronomic question. What is the best way to promote the growth process? What is the optimal amount of fertilizer, pesticide or seed for a particular spot in the field? For each question, there is a scientifically based and unambiguous answer from integrated crop production. And here two systems are diametrically opposed to each other:

  • Crop production according to predetermined recipes or even according to yield expectations and
  • sub-area-specific crop production according to current and actual needs and damage thresholds, also called integrated crop production.

This current demand and thus the agronomically correct decisions for action can be derived from the set of rules tested in field trials and the respective associated information. For the current level of a site-specific liming, for example, information on the soil type, the pH value and their agronomic relationship to the level of optimal liming is required on a small scale. If the agronomic algorithm is known and the corresponding information can be collected digitally at low cost, precision farming can be used successfully. Precision farming increases yields, saves costs, protects the environment and ultimately increases profits in arable farming. The scientifically based use of inputs also increases the social acceptance of farmers.

And that is exactly what Agricon stands for. After taking stock of your farm together, we will draw up an implementation plan for your farm. Agricon supplies and installs the necessary technical infrastructure such as plant sensors and soil information, sets up a complete data management system, trains you and your employees both agronomically, technically and in data management, and advises you directly on your fields during the first year of application. After that, you can do it!

Our mission statement

Founded in 1997, Agricon is a family-owned and operated, mid-sized company that is currently transitioning into its 2nd generation. We have two major company goals:

  • The first priority is to create the greatest possible value for our customers.
  • The second goal is to generate and sustain a reasonable income for our employees, their personal growth and development and the creation of a meaningful and humane working atmosphere.

Product Description

Harry Robson is an expert on the Card to Wallet, and his latest wallet is the result of a lifetime of experience building and performing this fantastic classic. This wallet incorporates all of the best features that the working magician could ever need. With this wallet you will be able to do:

Impromptu Signed Card to Wallet
No matter what the situation is, this wallet is always ready to reveal a signed card. Without any preset, you can reveal the card in the wallet, repeated as many times as you like.

Signed Card to Sealed Envelope
Take the card to wallet concept to a whole new level. Not only does the spectator's signed card end inside the zipped compartment of your wallet, but it is also in a fully SEALED envelope. Using Harry's special "Hands Off" method means the spectator can open the wallet and take the envelope out themselves! Not only that but this is INSTANT RESET. Perfect for table-hopping, cocktail parties and can even play to a large audience.

Out To Lunch
This is a built in feature of the wallet with some mind-blowing ideas using the famous Out to Lunch principle. There are a number of unique features to this wallet and this is just one of them. Imagine a spectator writing and signing their own prediction. When the prediction is shown to be incorrect the magician is able to correct the signed prediction and create a lasting memory!

Wallet in a Wallet
The ultimate impromptu signed card to impossible location. A spectator selects and signs a card. You can then reveal their signed card to be inside a small wallet which itself is inside your larger wallet. This is a mind blowing effect and is yet another feature of The Worker's Dream.

Peek Features
This wallet also contains TWO forms of an external peek! This means a spectator can write any piece of information they like, seal it inside the wallet and the magician is able to peek the information cleanly and clearly.

Harry has been developing wallets for over twenty-five years and has managed to combine all of the best features of the past into one truly unique package, all at an attractive price for a wallet of this fine quality

Two words: dumpster fire.

Not literally, but honestly I think I would rather have deal with a literal dumpster fire. Over the last two weeks, you might have noticed the site down, no new content, things going wonky, and our emails not working. If you are reading this, things are getting better — hopefully. I am not 100% confident yet — I have been fooled before.

We were trying to move the site to a new server and I would say things didn’t go well. We have worked hours, and hours, and hours, and hours to try to make it work. To no avail.Â  I used to love this technology stuff, but now not as much of a fan. I like writing and editing stuff about airplanes a lot more and hopefully I can get back to that soon.

You might have seen a previous post saying if you left a comment, I would mail you some free AirlineReporter.com stickers. The bad news is that post is toast, but the good news is I still have your email addresses. Once my email address is stable, I will reach out. If you didn’t leave a comment previous, but would still like some free stickers — leave a comment and I will make it happen.

This has been bad timing since we have picked up our game this year, providing more content per week than we have the last two years. Have no worries, we have some great content in the hopper and will be getting it out soon. Thank you all for your patience!

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF & FOUNDER - SEATTLE, WA. David has written, consulted, and presented on multiple topics relating to airlines and travel since 2008. He has been quoted and written for a number of news organizations, including BBC, CNN, NBC News, Bloomberg, and others. He is passionate about sharing the complexities, the benefits, and the fun stuff of the airline business. Email me: [email protected]

David, as a longtime viewer of airlinereporter.com, I appreciate all the hard work that you (and the rest of the contributors) do to keep us informed with interesting articles. Server migrations are definitely challenging.

Neal Lawson

well, that sucks, any details of what your move entailed? and what were your areas of difficulty?

Jay Wagner

Long time reader, first time commenter. You guys rock and can’t wait for things to get back to normal. Would love a sticker!

Sorry to hear about your issues! We will patiently wait for the new content!

Would LOVE some stickers, AirlineReporter is the best!

Archie Chugh

Sorry that you are having issues…..I met you a few years ago for avgeek fest….hopefully Iâ€™m in time for a sticker?

Would love some also. Glad you guys are back up and running.

Hope you have better luck from now on. Our best wishes from Toulouse!

I have been enjoyed reading AirlineReporter since 2010 and have no intention of quitting anytime soon. Go new server!

WordPress is fun. For certain values of “fun”. 😉

I think WordPress is fun for your current host provider — so you won’t leave 🙂

Thanks for an interesting site – hope all your issues resolve themselves soon.

No worries David. This is a great site and you are a great person. Thanks for all you do.

Melvin A.

I make sure to visit the site everyday. Truly enjoy all the articles and posts. Thanks David for your vision in creating Airline Reporter. Will wait for the stickers.

What We're Reading: Asthma Risk in Children With Disabilities; Nursing Homes, COVID-19; Exercising With a Mask

US children with developmental disabilites were found to be at a greater risk for asthma; nursing homes attributed to 43% of US deaths due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); cloth masks recommended when wearing a mask during exercise.

Children With Developmental Issues at Greater Risk of Asthma

In a study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers found that the prevalence rate of asthma is greater in US children with developmental disabilities when compared with those without disabilities. Additionally, the odds of asthma were significantly higher in children with developmental disabilities, particularly ethnic minority US children. Researchers found that very young children with asthma should be screened for disabilities or delays due to this potential association.

Nursing Homes May Attribute to 40% of COVID-19 Deaths

In a piece by CIDRAP, the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on nursing homes and assisted living facilities was highlighted, with an analysis in The Wall Street Journal indicating that the incidence of death has surpassed 50,000. This figure represents 43% of the overall death toll in the United States (N = 116,700), which may be underreported as not all states have reported nursing home cases and potential deaths.

Wearing a Mask While Exercising

As people nationwide take alternate approaches to exercise without the availability of gyms, an article in The New York Times highlights the importance of wearing suitable masks during these workouts to promote protection against COVID-19 and optimal breathing. According to the article, researchers found that masks do affect exercise as heart rates tend to increase, as well as the likelihood of feeling lightheaded or dizzy. Researchers recommended avoiding paper, cotton, and surgical masks during exercise as they become wet too rapidly, and to instead use cloth masks made from breathable, synthetic materials.

Will Israelis living overseas gain right to vote?

Israeli politicians from across the political map are advancing a law to allow Israeli expatriates, not just diplomats, to vote in absentia in Israel's elections.
An Israeli flag is seen in the background as a man casts his ballot for the parliamentary election at a polling in the West Bank Jewish settlement of Ofra, north of Ramallah January 22, 2013. Israelis voted on Tuesday in an election that is expected to see Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu win a third term in office, pushing the Jewish state further to the right, away from peace with the Palestinians and towards a showdown with Iran. REUTERS/Baz Ratner (WEST BANK - Tags: POLITICS ELECTIONS TPX IMAGES OF THE

As they do every four years, millions of US citizens will take part in the presidential elections in November. Some 300,000 eligible voters live in Israel, and judging by previous elections, tens of thousands will exercise their right to cast absentee ballots.

Unlike the United States, which grants all its citizens the right to vote anywhere and under all circumstances, most other countries set certain limitations on the rights of their citizens to vote from abroad. Israeli law grants the ability to exercise this important democratic right only to members of its diplomatic corps and to employees of the Jewish Agency, the World Zionist Federation, the Jewish National Fund and the United Israel Appeal. Still, while law enables murderers and other convicted felons serving jail terms to take part in the democratic process, the same law revokes the voting rights of students, university professors, employees of private firms, tourists and other Israelis away from their permanent places of residence on election day.

I had the opportunity to experience this discriminatory law's implications for myself and my bank account 20 years ago. During the 1996 elections for the 14th Knesset and the premiership, about six months after the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, I was stationed in the United States as a correspondent for Haaretz. To exercise my right to vote, I was forced to buy an expensive airline ticket and fly to Israel. My wife, who worked at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, also crossed the ocean to get to the ballot box in Jerusalem. Her colleagues, in possession of diplomatic passports, cast their ballots without having to leave the embassy building. But she was a “local hire” and thus ineligible to vote abroad. A young ultra-Orthodox man who sat beside us on the plane back to New York told us proudly that he had voted 13 times, using the IDs of former Israelis from his community. The relatives of these former Israelis "forgot" to report to the Israeli Interior Ministry that they had passed away, and so their names remained on the voters list.

Those elections brought to power Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who beat former President Shimon Peres by 30,000 votes. We will never know what the results would have been had all Israelis temporarily residing abroad been allowed to exercise their right to vote. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, as cited in the Jewish People Policy Institute’s (JPPI) report, some two-thirds of Israelis who leave the country do so for relatively short periods of one to five years. The JPPI’s researchers calculated that the votes of Israelis residing abroad for up to four years are “worth” two to three Knesset seats.

Initiatives to expand the circle of Israelis allowed to cast absentee ballots have been submitted to the Knesset several times in the past few years. Former Likud Minister Moshe Arens presented such a proposal in 2001, and it was discussed at the Constitution, Law and Justice Knesset Committee in 2002. The coalition agreements of the current government include a clause committing the government to propose a law enabling Israelis overseas to vote in Knesset elections, under terms agreed upon on all coalition factions.

In recent days, Knesset members from both the coalition and opposition parties have joined forces to promote a bill that would allow any Israeli citizen registered to vote to vote at Israeli diplomatic missions abroad. This mechanism should eliminate the problem of double voting with the IDs of deceased people. The bill’s sponsors include Knesset members Sharren Haskel and coalition chairman David Bitan of the ruling Likud, Yoav Ben-Tsur of the government coalition’s Shas and Itzik Shmuli, Eitan Cabel and Stav Shafir of the opposition Zionist Camp.

For some reason, the conventional wisdom has it that such a change would benefit the right. But the social-economic profiles of Israelis living abroad temporarily to study, work or conduct business (unlike that of permanent residents abroad) are more like that of voters for centrist and left-wing parties. It’s no coincidence that the list of sponsors is devoid of Arab Knesset members. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, Arabs constitute no more than 20% of Israeli citizens abroad.

As of now, Netanyahu supports the law. Still, at the 2010 launch of the “Voting only in Israelcampaign, Knesset member Tzipi Livni, then the leader of Kadima, said, “I was glad to hear that Netanyahu has started hemming and hawing and changed his mind. … It usually starts out with some questionable deal, and the moment public pressure is brought to bear they start thinking how to extricate themselves.”

The sponsors of the current proposed change in legislation recommend that only those who pick up their voter registration forms from the Interior Ministry at least a year before scheduled elections be allowed to vote. The Jewish People Policy Institute recommends that voters register in advance and declare their intention of returning to live in Israel as a condition of being allowed to cast their ballot abroad. A proposed bill formulated this year by the Israeli Democracy Institute (IDI) also sets forth a series of limitations. Nonetheless, the IDI researchers express “concrete concern” that various elements guided by narrow political interests will seek to change the criteria in such a way that the right to vote will also be granted to those living abroad on a permanent basis.

This concern is not unfounded. Public attitudes toward Israelis emigrating and leaving Israel permanently has undergone a sea change in recent years. In 1976, Rabin insultingly labeled those Israelis who left for good “the fallout of weaklings.” These days, politicians on the right, such as HaBayit HaYehudi Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked and Likud Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan as well as Zionist Camp leader Isaac Herzog, flock to the annual Israeli-American Conference. This change in attitude toward Israelis living abroad is indicative of the normalization process in Israeli society. Rabin slandered the "weaklings" at a time when Israel was still licking its wounds from the 1973 war. It was a time when leaving Israel (known in Hebrew as "going down," as opposed to "going up" to Israel) was considered akin to leaving the wounded behind in the battlefield. Those leaving used to apologize, but 40 years later, no one calls them "down-goers" any longer. Some, especially those who have done well financially and have become political donors, are accorded respect and prestige.

If politicians award these Israelis with the opportunity to politically influence the country they left behind, it will be interesting to see how many of them actually trouble themselves to exercise their right to vote. Given the state of Israeli democracy, it would be quite understandable if they opt to put their time to another use.
