Indian IT industry pioneer and TCS founding chief executive FC Kohli dead

Mumbai: Faqir Chand Kohli, who sowed the seeds of the USD 190-billion IT industry, has passed away on Thursday. He was 96.

The sector’s largest company TCS, of which he was the founding chief executive, announced the death of Kohli and said it was the insistence of JRD Tata which got Kohli to join the Tata Group, which now counts on its infotech arm for a bulk of resources.

Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran termed Kohli as a “true legend” who laid the foundation of what has been a “spectacular IT revolution” and set the stage for a dynamic modern economy that we enjoy today.

“Kohli was the true pioneer of Indian IT. We have all followed in his footsteps. His contribution to the IT industry and thus to India is immeasurable,” Wipro Chairman Azim Premji said in a statement.

TCS said after getting hired, the 1924-born Kohli pivoted to management consultancy initially and over the next two decades into software development. He was hired in 1951, fresh from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and joined Tata Electric.

Kohli, who was awarded the third-highest civilian award Padma Bhushan, had been working simultaneously with what was then called TCE and rose in designations along with the growth of the fledgeling company. He was made general manager of TCS in 1969, director-in-charge in 1974 and eventually the chief executive, a position he held till 1996.

Chandrasekaran said Kohli’s enduring optimism and ability to make ambitious bets leaves a legacy, which has advanced our nation.

Union IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad called the Peshawar?born and Lahore-educated Kohli as a visionary who made pioneering efforts to develop the IT industry in India.

Nasscom said Kohli foresaw an opportunity in technology for India and built TCS.

“His leadership and passion over the decades played a key role in helping establish India as a trusted and quality partner for global corporations, evangelise the importance of technology adoption for India, push for greater research in academic institutions, bring awareness on the importance of local language and hardware industry in India,” the lobby grouping said.

Former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh called him as the “Bhishmapitamaha of the Indian software industry” and said it was always educative to converse with him.

Chandrasekaran said Kohli led innovations in areas far-ranging from adult literacy, water purification, software engineering, software automation, complex-systems and cybernetics.

In January, Infosys co-founder N R Narayana Murthy stunned all by touching the feet of Kohli at a felicitation event in the financial capital.

Accepting the felicitation, Kohli reminisced that TCS was started in 1969 and was forced to look overseas for clients because nobody knew computers locally. The journey to becoming a nation known for its prowess in systems has been a joy, Kohli had said.

Maine fishermen marked a pair of pocket-lining milestones last year: The lobster fishery had its most valuable year yet, and so did Maine’s commercial fisheries in their entirety.

Fishermen hauled in nearly $457 million worth of lobster, an all-time high. All together, Maine’s fisheries were worth $585.3 million last year, according to the Maine Department of Marine Resources.

Of course, those two figures are closely linked, which is the crux of yet another fisheries-related milestone for Maine — a worrisome one: The state hit an all-time high last year in terms of the lobster’s share of Maine’s fisheries value. The lobster accounted for 78.1 percent of it. That’s a jump from the 2013 figure of 68.5 percent.

Maine is in the midst of a lobster boom. But Maine’s dependence on the lobster, almost to the exclusion of other species that used to deliver significant value, is cause for concern in the same way as a small town’s heavy dependence on a paper mill for employment and economic activity.

“When you look at the pie, it is so large with respect to the value of the lobster fishery, so if something happens to that fishery, I don’t know where we go,” said Brian Beal, a professor of marine ecology at the University of Maine at Machias and a former lobsterman.

Marine scientists have sounded the alarm for several years, warning that the Gulf of Maine is becoming a lobster monoculture — but there’s no clear path away from that dangerous reality.

The conditions in the Gulf of Maine have aligned just right to support a lobster boom. Other historic fisheries such as cod and shrimp, meanwhile, have all but collapsed. No Maine fishery comes close to competing with the lobster fishery in terms of value. Herring, while vulnerable to overfishing, are generally plentiful, but they largely support the lobster fishery as bait.

Scientists and policymakers can urge lobstermen to diversify, but the economics at the moment offer little reason to do so.

There are a few promising signs that Maine’s fisheries could gradually turn away from a dangerous dependence on the lobster.

— The scallop fishery has started to rebound following the implementation of a number of new conservation measures since 2007, such as shorter seasons, restrictions on pursuing smaller scallops, and real-time reporting from fishermen so regulators can adjust catch limits and scalloping season lengths in smaller areas rather than apply the same rules as if large swaths of the Maine coast were a uniform ecosystem. These measures took effect following efforts to more closely involve fishermen in scallop management. Fishermen landed 584,000 pounds of scallops last year after the fishery bottomed out in 2005 at 33,000 pounds.

— Voters in November approved a $7 million bond issue to fund new infrastructure that allows research, fishing and business collaboratives to conduct much-needed research and development in Maine’s seafood sector. The Maine Department of Marine Resources is starting to set up the process for awarding those funds in partnership with the Maine Technology Institute.

— There are efforts afoot to increase aquaculture and develop markets for smaller fisheries such as soft-shell clams.

These efforts should be encouraged, especially as times are good for the lobster industry, so those who depend on the oceans for a living aren’t without options should conditions quickly change.

Cross Country Pony: 1969 Mustang Mach 1

After a life time with its original owner, and a cross country trip in 1971, this 1969 Mach 1 has been rescued after spending 31 years in a back yard. Although that may sound gloomy, this Mach 1 is relatively solid, making for an excellent restoration candidate. Bidding has reached $5,000 and is rising. Find it here on eBay out of Los Angeles, California.

The 351 is still present as is the automatic transmission, but little is mentioned to their condition. But there are plenty of oily surfaces, so we are willing to bet this one will still turn over. The engine bay is plenty dirty with some surface rust sprinkled throughout.  A power washer would do wonders for this engine bay.

The California sun was not the best for the Mach 1’s dash and steering wheel. The dash is pretty rough resembling a blow out, or explosion of sorts. The steering wheel isn’t too bad off, it just wears a few cracks.

On the other hand the seats look very reasonable. The door panels are a little faded and dry rotted, and the center console isn’t too bad off, though it could use some help.

Here is the great part of this Mach 1, the body. Overall a solid Pony to start with. Much of the original Acapulco Blue is present, although the driver fender and the trunk lid have been replaced at some point on this Mustangs life. Studying the body of this Mach 1 reveals only minor surface rust on the exterior, and minor surface rust on the interior of the fender wells. Being a straight, and mostly rust free one owner car, this Mach 1 is an excellent restoration candidate. The only thing that appears to be missing is the front bumper and grill on this Mustang. We find it interesting that this Mach 1 wound up with a trailer hitch, but to each their own. We can imagine the original owner had a trailer hooked up to this Pony on its cross country trip.  The “Hub Ford Atlanta” emblem on the back of this Mach 1 is pretty cool to see, and realize the wild trip this Pony went on in 1971 to California. It’s always cool to find a car with a bit of a story. Would you pick up this solid Mach 1 project?

  1. flmikey I wrong, but isn’t that a yellow ’70 mustang fender? Nice find…looks very workable…

    • Bruce

      @flmikey..Yep drivers fender looks to be from a 70.

      • 68custom

        My buddy had a 69 grande with the 351w and two barrel / FMX tranny it ran pretty good. Always thought the Mach had a four barrel, my bad…

    • JW

      Nope your not wrong that is a yellow 1970 front fender, so a 1969 front fender would need to be found but otherwise not a bad project at or a little above the current bid.

  2. MorganW Morgan Winter Member

    Looks like a great project.

  3. 68custom

    Shouldn’t a Mach One have a 351 four barrel as the standard motor? Be a nice pony once restored regardless.

    • Oddimotive Cason Oddimotive Cason Member

      The 351 two-barrel was the base Mach 1 engine in both ’69 and ’70. This is consistent with the “H” engine code in this car’s VIN. The Windsor in this car is also consistent with a ’69, whereas most (but not all) ’70s have Clevelends.

    • JW

      Nope as stated by Cason the 2 barrel 351 Windsor or Cleveland was the base model “H” for Mach 1. My wife has a 70 “H” code Mach1 with a 351C and a 2 barrel autolite carb.

  4. angliagt

    I think that this would be great fun to drive as is,
    & restore a little at a time,if you decided to.
    Plus – wouldn’t it be fun to drive this to a car show,
    & park next to all of those over restored trailer queens?
    ’69 Mach 1- one of the nicest styled Mustangs.

  5. cudaman

    My recently acquired ’69 “R” code 41k mile 4-speed Mach I. One of one acording to the Marti Report. Original color: Indian Fire with White interior. Just wanted to share……

  6. JW454

    1969 is my favorite Mustang. If I were in the “Mustang Market” I ‘d be looking for a 1969 fastback… Hopefully a 4 speed But, I’d be happy with anything in a fastback.

And what if the very day today?

One day I ran into a friend. The last time we saw 5 years ago. And I met him very suddenly. And it's very casual. And it is so familiar, with whom the university together we laughed in the back row and solve crossword puzzles. I mean, I see it was very happy. Very.

And he is beautiful, good jokes. And I have such a hard week was - went to bed late, not getting enough sleep. And I listen to what he has in life happens, smile and think to myself: "What have I done, well, that's what I done .. that still stood up early today and head washed!!»

We do in life a lot of things happening suddenly, a lot of things accidental.

Just imagine, if at birth we received a special envelope. This envelope would have to be open when you turn 18 years old. For example.

And in this day gather all your relatives and friends. All elegant and fun. You too. Mum and dad say it. What do you remember one more thing takusenkogo, and now the time has come and open the envelope. Maybe even a little cry. Mom exactly.

You blow out candles on a birthday cake, and took out an envelope printed letter. And it is written:

March 12, 2016 you will meet her future husband.

January 15, 2017 will receive a job offer of your dreams.

February 5, 2017 will know that you will become a mother.

Well, a lot of such dates is written. The day when you buy your first home. When you meet a close friend. When zavedesh dog. When by chance you find cheap flights to the country of their dreams. Other good days in total.

You stand out these days with a red marker on the wall calendar, and will wait for them eagerly.

So, you go to bed and know that tomorrow is the same day. And you fall asleep in the wonderful anticipation.

From morning to jump on the first ring the alarm, look happily out the window and say the new day: "Hello," then a little dancing before a mirror in his underwear. Maybe even sing. You put a beautiful, favorite clothes, with pleasure drink flavored coffee. Lipstick gloss cherry shade, smiling in the mirror, because all will be well today. You know exactly what will happen today, something great!

But we do not get this envelope at birth or in the next day. I, at least, it is definitely not. And thank God. All wonderful happens to me suddenly and accidentally. And I will never advance do not know how and when.

What if he woke up in the morning, decide that this day - today? What is it today I was waiting for something amazing? Suppose I do not know for sure. What if you jump out of bed today joyful? Today, a new day to say "Hello" Today wear your favorite clothes. Lipstick gloss with cherry flavor. Smile in the mirror.

Well, just you never know. All of a sudden?

Caravan-Marine Power System – 12V 1500W-320W-Solar-300Ah Battery

mp9013_packageAn ideal mid-level power system for caravans and boats,
or even a smaller motorhome. Includes everything to
make a complete 12V house battery system with enough
stored battery power for medium stints of free camping
without AC power.

At the heart of the system is the powerful Rich Electric
SuperCombi interactive inverter-charger, with an
inverter output of 1500W continuous de-rated at 70°C
(3000W max) it is more than capable of running a
typical 2kW roof-mount type air conditioning system or
a small inverter-type domestic split system
(approx. 3kW). When AC shore or park power is
connected, the SuperCombi’s battery charger kicks into
life delivering 70A of charging current with full 4-stage
charging, ensuring that your batteries are charged up
quickly and optimally; perfect for when you are only
connect to AC power for a short stay.

The power support feature of the SuperCombi also
allows you to program in a maximum AC input current
so that when you run the kettle, the toaster and then
switch on the aircon, you don’t trip an AC circuit
breaker – the SuperCombi will provide the extra power
required by boosting the AC input with inverter power
(from the battery bank). This is also PERFECT for use
with a generator, which when combined with the
dynamic power shifting feature, means you can actually
use a smaller generator, since the SuperCombi will make up the difference in power!

For storage of power, two industrial grade PowerSleek AGM deep cycle batteries are included,
storing 300Ah of charge. Whilst you are cruising along with the engine running, the engine
alternator is of course producing plenty of DC charging – so that is put to good use by
employing the Rich Electric Dual Battery Charging system, which allows the alternator to
charge the house battery as well as your engine cranking battery, with central control via the
SuperCombi. When you achor or camp “off the grid”, the solar panels will provide some
charge back into your battery bank (approx. 70-80Ah a day*) through the SunStar-45A solar
charge controller, again with central control through the SuperCombi. As well as this, once the
house battery is fully charged, the Rich Electric Dual Battery Charging system will also allow
excess charge to go back into your engine cranking battery!

To round the system out, mega-fuses, CombiNet data leads, and solar panel connectors and
joiners are included to aid with an easy installation.

• Approx. 2.6kWh of stored battery power
• Approx. 0.8kWh (70Ah) average daily solar charging*

• 4 x 80W monocrystalline high efficiency solar
• 2 x 12V 150Ah “sleek” deep cycle AGM batteries
• Invertek SuperCombi 12V 1500W continuous
(3000W max) inverter charger (70A charging)
• SunStar 45A PWM solar charge controller
• Invertek 140A dual battery charging system
• CombiNet data leads
• Solar panel connectors and joiners
• Mega fuses

Suitable For
• Most moderately powered household AC appliances
• Kettle, toaster, microwave (but only one at a time)
• Efficient LED lighting
• Efficient AC or DC fridge
• Laptops, DVD players, LCD TV, etc
• SuperCombi CAN run an efficient 2kW aircon system
(for a limited amount of time)

Systems can be customised to suit individual
requirements. Talk to your local store for

A BATTING WITH BIMAL BREAKING REPORT: Virat Kohli frustrated with prolonged period of bad form

Kohli is looking to turn his fortunes around during the upcoming series against Australia

India batsman Virat Kohli has expressed his frustration at the prolonged period of bad form he has been experiencing with the bat in all three formats, stating that while it is highly “annoying”, it is something every cricketer goes through during their career.

Kohli will be hoping his 77 in the last ODI against England will mark the end of his horrendous run and will also be a sign of things to come in the upcoming home series against Australia.

“I wasn’t feeling the same as others might have about my form, to be honest,” Kohli said. “No one can keep scoring consistently for a period of 16 months. It’s always a balance in international cricket. There will be a phase when you don’t score in four-five games.

“It was a bit annoying for me as I was not getting out making too many mistakes. I got a few good balls in the last series and made a few mistakes in this series. But, I was pretty calm at that point of time. You just got to be composed. You just know that it is going to happen at some point or the other (return to form).”

Kohli noted that the only solution to his batting woes was working on continuously developing his game in the nets.

“When you get frustrated, you tend to increase that lean phase which you are going through,” Kohli added. “You’ve got to be positive, which I am glad that I was and was able to come out with that knock in the last game.”

The Indian batsman also stated that he was comfortable coming in at number three and hopes to cement the spot for a long time to come.

“I think batting at number three has been working fine for me,” Kohli said. “I wouldn’t know too much about lower order because I played a few games when I was new. This position (No 3) I like the pressure situation and I like to finish things as well, it gives me sort of right platform to do the job for the team. It suits me well. I think No 3 is the position that works best for me.”

Looking back at the ODI series, Kohli mentioned that England youngster Joe Root has a bright future ahead of him if he is able to maintain his fitness and concentration.

“From what I have seen him bat in Nagpur in the first game he played, he seems to be a guy who has got the temperament to absorb the pressure and sort of work it out and get through that situation,” Kohli added. “He (Root) has a bright future ahead of him. That really counts in international game. It is not mere technique or the sort of foot movement you have. 70 per cent, it is about temperament. I think he has got it in him and I wish all the best for him in his career.

“From what we all have observed … James Tredwell (spinner) is another guy who has done well in the bowling department.”

Kohli also credited the bowlers for helping India escape with a 3-2 series win.

“If you consistently put pressure on the batsmen and if the wicket is a bit slow and it turns and you have to play shots, it gets a bit difficult,” Kohli said. “It’s been a combination of our bowlers bogging them down and English batsmen playing a few bad shots.”

  1. Hello Mrs.Donofrio,
    I have been to Rose hall in Jamaica where slaves used to work. I learned at Gamble plantation that Robert Gamble had a sugarcane farm and it got hit by 2 hurricanes. Also I learned that the they bathed in the same bathwater once a week.

    • Extra credit for you, Anthony! We heard the same story about the bathwater in our group. Kind of yucky, huh? I thought they had lots of clever ways to keep the house cool before the invention of air conditioning: the two-foot thick walls, painting the house white to reflect the heat, the porch that shaded the house, the cross-ventilation, and keeping the kitchen in a separate building.
      Would you like to have lived in the 1800s?
      ~Mrs. Donofrio

BEARR’s 2021 Small Grants Scheme: Results

This year BEARR’s Small Grants Scheme sought applications from across the Eastern Europe and Central Asia region for projects to “reduce the social isolation of people living with disadvantage”, an issue which has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We did not specify the beneficiaries: instead, applicants were asked to describe the problems faced by the people they wished to help.

BEARR asked for projects that would:

  • involve partnership with, or extend collaboration to, other local organisations;
  • have an imaginative or unusual approach to reducing social isolation; and
  • try to extend provision of support to other groups of people facing disadvantage or marginalisation resulting from their age, ability, ethnicity, gender or sexuality, or because of geography.

We had a fantastic response, receiving 227 applications in total. Over 60% came from Ukraine, with at least one application from every other country which BEARR covers.

Chosen grantees

The level of response made BEARR’s trustees’ task a difficult one, but 15 fantastic projects have been selected:

  • Association of Wives and Mothers of Soldiers Participating in ATO (Ukraine): self-help groups for vulnerable elderly women in remote areas of Donetsk region.
  • Gender-Vector (Kyrgyzstan): to support access to jobs and safe housing for young people in LGBT community in Chui region.
  • Girls in Tech (Armenia): digital skills and support for young women IDPs from the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
  • Inclusive Studies (Lutsk, Ukraine): training volunteers to work with disabled children to provide theatre activities to support socialisation.
  • Kids are Kids (Moscow, Russia): summer camp for marginalised and migrant families.
  • Kuhhoi Pomir (Tajikistan): initiatives to reduce social isolation of live-stock breeders in isolated communities in Pamir mountains.
  • MIR – Office for Initiatives Development (Khujand, Tajikistan): younger and older people in self-help groups to support vulnerable people affected by COVID-19. *
  • Next (Odessa, Ukraine): using hospital facilities to assist children with mental disorders, especially eating disorders.
  • People Plus (Belarus): support for older people with HIV, based in Svetlogorsk.
  • Return to Life (Kropyvnytskyi, Ukraine): helping under-18 rural poor to avoid drug use.
  • Society of People with Disabilities TAUR (Moldova): reducing social isolation of people with disabilities.
  • Tvory Dobropillya (Ukraine): combatting isolation among the elderly in a small rural town in Donetsk region through cooking classes with teenagers.
  • Ukrainian Down Syndrome Organisation (Ukraine): Support for people aged 16-35 with Down Syndrome, including access to employment and social participation.
  • Winds of Changes (Ukraine): creation of a needlework social enterprise in Odessa for Roma women and girls. *
  • Zhytomyr Regional Association of Social Services (Ukraine): self-help groups in small towns for single mothers and victims of domestic violence. *

* These three CSOs are repeat grantees. Each has been awarded additional funding to help improve its organisational resilience as they adjust to working under COVID-19 conditions.

BEARR is delighted that both the Just Trust and the now-dissolved Tushinskaya Trust are contributing towards funding this year’s grantees. The Tushinskaya Trust’s contribution will go towards one of the projects working with young people. Additionally, we are grateful our major donor’s contribution towards funding the scheme.

We are looking forward to working with this year’s grantees and sharing their project updates with BEARR’s subscribers!

WATCH: Robert Quinn's sister, Jasmine Camacho-Quinn, wins Olympic gold

Jasmine Camacho-Quinn finally has the upper hand on her older brother, Bears edge rusher Robert Quinn, after she earned Olympic gold during the women’s 100-meter hurdles on Monday in Tokyo (Sunday night in the United States).

The previous day, Camacho-Quinn set an Olympic record in the women’s 100-meter hurdles, blowing past the rest of the field with a time of 12.26 seconds in the third semifinal.

During his morning meeting with the media, Matt Nagy took the time to congratulate Camacho-Quinn on her Olympic gold. Nagy said they watched it at Halas Hall win Quinn and some others last night.

Take a look at Camacho-Quinn’s gold medal-winning performance, courtesy of NBC:

This is the second Olympic Games for Camacho-Quinn, who made her debut five years ago at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. Back in 2016, she won her heat in the 100-meter hurdles but failed to qualify for the final after knocking over a hurdle in the semifinal.

Now, she’s an Olympic gold medalist.

Key steps from Bulgarian folklore dances: Hands

The next question that we are going to answer to is 'What do the dancers do with their hands, during the performance? Is it the same for men and women?'.

And the answer is 'No' - part of the time it is not the same. Usually, women use handkerchiefs by spinning them in circles to the beat of the music, while men clap their hands and their thighs. You can learn the movements from the videos below:

DIY raw crystal necklace

Photobucket DIY raw crystal necklace
When Soph and I first saw THOSE striking images from the Chanel Fall 2012 runway our hearts basically gave out. We just couldn’t resist getting our hands on some of those jagged edged, violet colored amethyst and crystal gems then DIY’ing until our little fingers bled.

p.s. thank you to those who came out to our haute-DIY event at soho house last night where we made variations of this crystal necklace along with these and this and those and these. xx

How to: DIY Raw Crystal Necklace

You will need:
16 inches of chain
5 raw crystal or amethyst beds
2 jump rings
6 inches of 24 gauge wire

1. Cut two 8 inch pieces of chain. Thread your wire through one end of chain. Create a loop with the chain inside leaving 1/4 inch excess wire. Wrap excess wire.

2. Thread gemstones through the wire attached to chain.

3. Repeat step 1, attaching the other end of chain. Wrap and cut remaining wire. Attach clasp with jump rings.

  1. Thanks guys! So glad you're into it.

    We bought strands of crystals and amethysts so they came with holes in them. You can buy the strands at bead stores, Michaels or online. We happened to find these at the LA gem show which is beyond! Highly recommend the gem shows if you're into jewelry making – everything is much cheaper and higher quality.

    Hope that helps!

  2. I love this idea. I really want to make it but I think I may have got the wrong size beads (I bought them online ugh)… mine are 3/4" – 1in…too small??

  3. So pretty – love it – but please, please share who makes/or where you got that cool purple t-shirt, TY!

  4. Where can I find these crystals online? How much should I expect to pay? Love ALL your DIY but I don't have much options to buy supplies in Minneapolis 😉

Thursday, 23 April 2015

I said at the very beginning that I was rubbish at this birding caper and that most of the things I see are by accident. This was proven by my initial oversight of the 2 Little Terns at Peacock's Lake, about 10 minutes before they were seen at GLE. Most terns look "funny" to me, so I pretty much take pictures of every one I see, then quickly check the pictures on the back of the camera for ID but for some reason I didn't check these until I got home, when the white forehead could be faintly seen and the yellowish bill colour stuck out - oh and they were little.

I think the only saving grace in this instance is that the birds were definitely only at Peacock's for no longer than about 1 minute, so the ID delay didn't stop anyone else seeing them there.

I've already said to Matt that I think it would be unsporting to claim them as a true SFYL, hence I've stuck them down as a 0.5 - if that is OK with the other members?

Promise to pay more attention next time to terns that suddenly appear and disappear.......

  1. Fabulous photographs Jim, so please desist immediately. ;-) I know that Little Terns are very small, but I still think you should get maximum points. The fact remains that you still found it, and eventually identified it. What say the other members of the SS Listwaffe?

  2. tick them, one whole point, the record is there for the record as it were which is what counts

  3. OK thanks, and I've changed it to a 1, although I did think a half point was a bit of fun. Also, thanks Andy for the long "thumbs up" down Gypsy Lane today, as I thought the tern had gone after I'd seen it over the other side briefly and it was good to see it properly back on GLE.

  4. Yep defo a 1 one this list. And a cracker too. Looks like i picked a good week to be away....

FIDH and Viasna condemn new attacks on independent media threatening the liberty of expression in Belarus

  • by EECA
  • 9 July 2021

9 July, 2021, Paris - Minsk. Yesterday, law enforcement officials organised a widescale crackdown on independent media in Belarus. Offices of at least five media outlets were raided and a number of their employees were detained. Criminal cases were initiated against the employees of Nasha Niva, one of the oldest and largest independent media in Belarus, its website was shutdown. Two more outlets are threatened with extremist labels. FIDH and Viasna condemn the ongoing attacks which threaten to destroy the last free media in Belarus and what is left of freedom of expression and association in the country.

In the morning of 8 July, representatives of Belarusian law-enforcing bodies came with searches to the office of Nasha Niva. [1] Searches were also conducted in the apartments of editor-in-chief Yahor Martsinovich, editors Andrei Skurko and Andrei Dynko, and accountant Volha Rakovich. All four were detained as suspects under Art. 342 of the Criminal Code (“Organisation and preparation of actions that grossly violate public order, or active participation in them”). The outlet’s website has been shut down.

Other media concerned by searches include some of the largest Brest regional news outlets: Brest Newspaper, Intex-Press, and Media-Polesye. The editor of another Brest media, First Region, Aleh Supruniuk, was wrongfully fined for spreading mate-rials deemed extremist. Earlier Intex-Press faced similar charges for publishing an interview with Belarus opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.

Further searches took place yesterday in the apartments of Ihar Kazmerchak, editor of one of Orsha’s largest news portals,, and photographer Dzianis Dubkou. Both were detained. Kazmerchak is suspected of violating Art. 218 of the Criminal Code (“Intentional destruction or damage to property”).

Earlier, on 18 May, the Department of Financial Investigations of Belarus raided the country’s largest independent media, arresting 15 of its employees. [2] On 8 July, the Ministry of Information blocked the access to another website opened by the team which managed to flee the country. Both resources remain inacces-sible from Belarus. Additionally, the Ministry of Interior requested to declare extre-mist the website.

Same charges threaten Telegram-channel In June 2021, its editor Ali-aksei Shota, already received a fine of 14,500 BYN (almost €4,800) for “spreading extremist materials”.

Apartments of at least four more journalists working for Onliner, Belsat, and were searched on July 8 and 9. Another independent journalist Vital Skryl was targeted under Art. 369 (“Insult to a representative of authority”). As new facts emerge every hour, more journalists are likely being detained, and more offices raided, as we speak.

The above actions severely curb the ability of journalists to gather and disseminate information, individually and as part of a media structure, in violation of Articles 19 and 22, freedom of expression and association, respectively, of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). FIDH, together with its member organisation in Belarus, Viasna HRC, strongly condemn the repressions against independent journalists, and call for an immediate termination of legal harass-ment against media from the Belarusian authorities, as well as an urgent and firm reaction to the ongoing events from the international community.

[1It is not yet known who it was exactly, most likely the central office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and/or GUBAZiK, the department combating corruption and organ-ised crime.

[2Including the director Liudmila Chekina, deputy director Iryna Rybalka, editor-in-chief Maryna Zola-tava, editor of the politics desk Volha Loika, and a journalist Alena Talkachova, as well as the company’s accountant, engineer, technical director, manager, former and present law-yers, and the widow of Yury Zisser, founder, Yuliya Charniauskaya.

Life Gets Better as I Get Older

New Day 23 – No Luck With Loose Painting

Here’s what’s happened on my canvas over the last few days.

Jan 30 progress

As you can probably tell, I was not successful with my plan to use a larger brush and create a looser looking painting. My mind just doesn’t seem able to go there. When I hold a larger brush, I cannot conceive of how I would make the greenery, with all it’s fine sprigs, with larger blobs of paint. I just can’t do it. In fact, I painted all the greenery with a 00 brush – the smallest I have. The back ground was done with an 8 which is just a tad larger than the brushes most oil painters use for the whole thing. I just don’t get it. But I know the great painters wouldn’t paint it this way.

Mostly I’m just getting in the colors and some shapes at this point. I’ll have lots of adjustments to make once I get more of the greenery filled in. I needed to get some of the black background done in order to gauge my colors and tone.

So far I’ve only wiped off a few spots, and am holding out hope that it will all come together in the end.

I’m a slow painter, and I have to get up and take a break after 20 minutes or so.

Here are my brushes.

my brushes

More to come.

I am a woman living in the woods with animals and nature all around me. I am a painter and a photographer. I left the corporate world fifteen years ago to live in the quiet of the New Hampshire Monadnock woods. I have not had a moment of regret. It is a simple, serene, close to the earth, life I live. I am very fortunate and grateful for what I have.

2 thoughts on “New Day 23 – No Luck With Loose Painting

  1. The only thing that helped me loosen up was a 30 in 30 challenge. You have to finish a painting each day which forces you to paint quicker, and quicker naturally leads to looser.

  2. I can see how that would help. How big were your paintings? And what size brush do you use?

How my breasts define me…

Hello?  Obviously, they don’t! 🙂 That is, the ta-tas are not the woman, nor do they a woman make.

We have until Monday before this is over.  I drove far and wide today for the pre-op appointment, had blood drawn, an EKG, a chest x-ray, and that all important challenge: peeing in a cup.  (Made extra special by hearing my name called for the EKG as soon as I sat on the toilet.)  I had to have a little cry when we left because it hit me, while I was changing into my stylish hospital gown, that the very next time I do that will be to have both of my breasts removed.  It overwhelmed me for a moment there.

I paid through the nose for my co-pay, made the young man registering me laugh really hard when he gave me the list of things NOT to bring: don’t bring a camera.  Really?  Who doesn’t want a photo journey through a bilateral mastectomy?!  Imagine the coffee table book you could make out of that! And, of course, they failed to include strippers and kegs on the list of things NOT to bring, so I feel confident that no one there will care if I have a bevy of strippers sending off my breasts.  Amateurs welcome.

My daughter got “sick” at school today, and had to be picked up.  They thought she was coming down with the stomach flu, so I arrived decked out in a mask.  Never underrate the value of mortifying your child, it leads to great threats of potential embarrassment should they misbehave in public!

I feel incredibly loved, and incredibly blessed, right now.  My best girlfriend arrives Sunday, another pair of wonderful friends are helping with the kids on Monday so I can wake up to see Becky’s face at the hospital.  I have friends popping into town for short visits tomorrow.  I have learned so very much about myself, and about the people I truly share my life with, and despite the bumps and bruises I cannot help but to feel immensely grateful.

Blessings to you all…and Happy Friday the 13th!

Relatively Speaking (Richmond Theatre)

Relatively Speaking (Richmond Theatre, until October 8th)

Mistaken identity and layers of misunderstandings with a dark hue still raise laughs in a robust revival of Alan Ayckbourn’s first major hit, Relatively Speaking, on a welcome provincial tour.

These early Ayckbourn plays (this is from 1967) are undergoing quite a renaissance as producers realise their potential popularity, with strong casts, and their timeless comic value.

This latest production is an unbridled joy, helped significantly by the direction of Robin Herford, who has had considerable experience of Ayckbourn and has appeared in more original productions of the writer’s plays than any other actor.

Such knowledge helps this outstanding production to hit every single moment of comedy, each dark nook and cranny of the text, and each twist and turn of the sometimes farcical but always hilarious plot.

But of course he has plenty to work with: Ayckbourn’s play may be set in 1965 but it has plenty of contemporary   themes so never once seems dated and there is a splendid cast of four who don’t put a foot wrong in this finely constructed and perfectly-choreographed game of secrets, revelations, crossed wires and threats to comfortable domestic life.

Robert Powell proves to be an expert in comic timing and delivery as Philip, suffering the frustration of a strained marriage and the joys of a relationship with a younger woman. He brings warmth to the gruff character, with the flicker of a smile as he realises the chaos unleashed around him and a mild panic as his best-laid plans unfurl.

No stranger to Ayckbourn plays, Liza Goddard is perfect as Sheila, the long-suffering wife who may or may not have secrets of her own. Her brightness and apparent naivety as each layer of confusion is peeled away is the ideal contrast to Powell’s philandering chauvinist.

Antony Eden gets the early laughs (thanks to a great visual gag in the opening seconds) as the polite young businessman Greg, smitten by his new girlfriend and determined to uncover the truth about her past after a number of clues make him suspicious enough to follow her to what he believes is her parents’ home in the country. It’s a role that could too quickly descend to a level of clownish silliness, but Eden is lovably energetic and nails some terrific moments of pure comic delight.

Lindsay Campbell has probably the least to play with as Ginny, the wide-eyed and broad-minded secretary with a colourful past, but she gives her a feistiness and grit that drag her away from superficiality.

Peter McKintosh’s sets capture the mood of the era and the contrasts of the play with the opening scene in Ginny’s Swinging Sixties flat and the rest in the garden of Philip and Sheila’s rural retreat, which must go down as one of the most exquisite and stylish sets on tour at the moment.

The unlikely misunderstandings which create the drama of an unfortunate love triangle and out and out comedy (and of which the audience is aware from the start) might seem ridiculously unlikely to modern eyes, yet the players constantly judge well the necessary levels of bewilderment, innocence, and growing understanding.

Perhaps above all it is good to know that in the right hands classic Ayckbourn can still entertain and even his early work (so often squashed by amateurs in village halls) has a real capacity to amuse.

Touchstone Tarot by Kat Black

The Touchstone Tarot by Kat Black is a masterfully done digital collage deck that you would never know was digital collage unless told. Working with Renaissance and Baroque classical art, the deck is a European art gallery in a box.

Black’s Golden Tarot remains one of my all-time favorite decks and Touchstone is right up there with it. Funny story actually. When I first opened the box of cards, which was sent to me by U.S. Games, I didn’t read the box and went straight into sifting through the deck art. My very first thought was, “This is a copy of Kat Black’s art style!” … only to realize… it’s Kat Black’s deck.

That’s an incredible testament to how consistent and defined Black’s style is as an artist. She’s got such a signature that I can spot her work miles away.

Also, one of the features I appreciate the most is the inclusion of all art references and a card art description in the companion guidebook. Too many digital collage art decks omit any credits, attributions, or citations. If you’re working with public domain art, technically you don’t need them, but it’s always a nice-to-have, and here, I really love that Black lets you know exactly what all her sources are.

The earthen tone box is embossed with gold leaf and metallic gold frames every card image. The card backs are also embossed with gold leaf, in ornate brown and black filigree and floral patterns. The exquisite production value here by U.S. Games means this would be a great gift idea for someone just being introduced to tarot.

The cardstock is high-gloss but really sturdy, and just feels like great attention to detail went into its crafting. Since the art is sourced from Baroque paintings, you’re going to get strong Christian references, which I don’t mind.

I’m intrigued by the direction Black went in for The Hanged Man, and I’m here for it. “This card traditionally portrays a man hung upside down, with his legs forming a cross,” she writes. “As this deck is not one of esoteric symbols so much as real people, I have used one of the many paintings of St. Sebastian.”

Key 13 features Carvaggio’s  controversial painting, “The Death of Mary,” and shows the Virgin Mary as a poor peasant woman in a realist style. The RWS rose icon here appears as the Tudor rose. You also see a skeleton, an hour glass, and a coffin.

The guidebook is wonderful. It includes a description of the card image, the card meaning in a reading, and the meaning in reverse. There are many little details that you’ll want to know about, so if you get this deck, definitely give the LWB a read-through.

For example, the figure in the Five of Wands has a lazy eye! I guess that might be something I picked up on more sensitively because I used to suffer from lazy eye, too, but overcame it in my adulthood (sorta). The High Priestess is described as an androgynous woman.

Then in the back of the book, there’s a section that cites every painting that every symbol on that card was sourced from. So, for example, The High Priestess is a composite of a Rubens painting, Bellini, Anguissola, Heem, Botticelli, and several others.

Art history lovers are going to love this deck. Those who want to work with the RWS but not the RWS 1911 deck itself are also going to love this deck. Black has such a masterful command over tarot knowledge that she is able to translate key RWS symbology– the iconography you’re most likely to latch onto– and reproduce them in her decks. It’s one of the reasons I loved the Golden Tarot back in the day and it’s one of the reasons why I highly recommend the Touchstone Tarot.

The guidebook is keyed to a total beginner and really quite comprehensive for an LWB. I appreciate the culture and history lessons. Kat Black herself is a traditional painter and is a fine artist. Only later did she move into the digital art medium, and more contemporary forms of art like video installations and digital collage.

The deck’s namesake refers to a hand-held tool that is used to detect whether something else is true. Likewise, the purpose of this deck is revelatory.

Another little detail this deck does particularly well is it highlights the socioeconomic correspondences that the four suits were historically associated with. For example here, the suit of Swords is representative of the medieval ruling class, of worldly authority and leadership.

The suit of Cups corresponds with the clerical class, representative of spiritual study and personal reflection. Wands were the medieval peasant class, symbolic of the work you do, of strength, and of craft. The suit of Coins is the merchant class, suggesting trade and commerce.

In 2021, even 2020 when this deck was published by U.S. Games (it was self-published much earlier), a deck reviewer almost can’t not comment on diversity and representation issues. Here, quite literally, everyone pictured is going to be of European descent, or look it. And I’m totally okay with it.

Here’s why: The defined theme here is artwork gathered from Europe’s Northern Renaissance in the late 15th century, flourishing predominantly in the Low Countries (northern Europe), France, Germany, England, and Poland, with imports from Italy. That and also features from Baroque period art.

Not only do you get snippets of fascinating history lessons in the LWB, but you learn about the many mythical creatures, like a Satyr, and goddesses, such as Demeter and Minerva, pictured, along with historical figures, like Christopher Marlowe, William the Silent, Christina of Denmark, or Marchesa Brigida Spinola-Doria, to name a few. Love how Black described Marchesa, by the way– “a hottie if ever there was one.” (Queen of Wands.)

In most of the compositions, the figure is looking out, straight at the viewer, making eye contact, which draws you in and gives this deck a more intimate feel. Black writes on her purpose for creating the Touchstone Tarot– “I wanted to create a deck that was a little warmer and more human.” The original medium for this tarot deck was going to be as a digital app on cell phones, and it was only later that it got picked up by U.S. Games and produced as a mass market deck.

There are two bonus cards with this deck– the Happy Squirrel and the Author Card, titled “Touchstone Tarot” (above to the right). You see fortune-telling depicted in this tongue-in-cheek Happy Squirrel card, which is just a light message to not take yourself, the situation, or anything too seriously, and to keep your sense of humor about things. As for what the Happy Squirrel card means in reverse– I love Black’s note here: “Hey, it’s bad enough that I gave you upright meanings, you do realize this isn’t a real tarot card?”

As Mary Greer writes in the Dedication for the deck: “This is a magical deck. Personalities dominate each card, and the perception in their eyes becomes a test– the touchstone– by which your sincerity and truth is measured. . . . I highly recommend this as a deck you’ll have to not just own, but use– frequently.”

  • Water
  • High Labour Costs
  • Energy
  • A Mediocre transport system
  • The commercialisation of Intellectual property
  • There are many

We choose to leave as ‘running sores” in our national conversation. Because they are too hard to address or excuses for not doing things!

Human beings are problem-solving creatures and much of our innovation comes from solving an immediate problem or in meeting an immediate need.

There is no better example than the COVID vaccine. In late 2019 early 2020, the world became aware of the COVID virus. It emerged as a virus and evolved into a pandemic. There was global anxiety, fear, panic – borders were closed, lockdowns introduced – there was debate about lives v livelihoods. The virus was exploding everywhere – China, Europe, US – some countries struggled and managed well.

Nothing like this had happened in our lifetime.

As it was happening the scientists of the world were galvanising – a vaccine was needed urgently.Over 60 groups marshalled resources and started work. There was one in Queensland. Nothing of this scale had ever been done -certainly not quickly! Until now a developing a vaccine previously has taken 5-15 years. It was a serious Everest. Nevertheless, the climb was on!

Towards the end of 2020, there were signs that a vaccine was imminent – clinical trials were proving positive, and a couple of candidates emerged as likely vaccines. Pfizer – Moderna in the US – Astra Zeneca in UK with others to come (J&J). China, it appears also had at least one and Russia.

All had fulfilled the requirements for release to the public by early 2021. It is a feat of mind-blowing scale.

It might be called moon-shot, and it happened in front of our eyes!  It appears they are working. Now we are managing the logistics of the actual vaccination and that is another story.

In simple terms what used to take many years was achieved by multiple groups in less than 12 months. What was the catalyst?

The actual threat to human life – a massive death toll! The human instinct for survival kicked in. Human life is paramount! There was a maniacal focus on creating the vaccine to help eliminate/manage the virus. So, what are we learning?

Human beings can achieve amazing things when their backs are against the wall and fear is a major motivator!

In my early career, I discovered there were many theories of motivation – Maslow, Hertzberg, Vroom, McClelland and a range of others. I remember being very excited when I discovered a theory of Job design – what made a job “worth” doing? What motivated people at work? I was discussing this with an older colleague with whom I was working, he listened to me and said – “it was all bullshit” there were only two real motivators for anything – Fear and Greed – everything else was irrelevant.  It was early learning!

So far, I have named three clear motivators for  innovation

  • Problem-solving
  • Fear
  • Greed

All of these address very basic human needs so there is little surprise. There is one however which I suspect drives them all – human aspiration and/ or survival. It starts with “the need to survive and then the need to explore -what’s out there? – where are the limits? What are the possibilities? We all have these basic questions and where do they lead?  In history there are some amazing examples of innovators, explorers, pioneers:

  • Galileo stands out! Newton,Einstein
  • Early explorers: Magellan, Columbus, Cook.
  • The US landing a man on the moon

People are remembered for being the first to

  • Climb Mt Everest -Edmund Hilary
  • Swimming the English Channel
  • The 4-minute mile -Roger Bannister

There have been multiple scientific discoveries by Australians:

  • Alexander Fleming – Penicillin
  • Ian Fraser -Gardasil
  • Graham Clark – Cochlear Implant

Australia has a great record in Nobel prizes in the science and the medical field. (13)

What drives these ideas: A problem to be solved, curiosity, competition, human aspiration!

In all of these examples, there was a yearning to know and be more, to know if we could learn about it; if we could actually do it. It is an instinct so great it has driven the development of the world as we know it!

There is evidence now that this same instinct is driving the world beyond its natural limits. There are now threats named as existential threats:

  • Global warming and the ensuing issues and challenges
  • Overpopulation
  • Pollution
  • Food insecurity
  • Water
  • Weapons of mass destruction

These are challenges (problems) all “created by humans”.

The explorers in a way self-created challenges and problems.

This brings us back to humans as a problem-solving species.

JFK in his speech announcing the Moon shot said

We do these things because they are hard!  Aspiration is a major factor in human progress.

So, at the simplest level we have:

It is too easy to use fear and greed as motivators

A book on Great Australian Speeches edited by Pamela Robson highlights:

“If speeches are a ready way of explaining historical events, they also throw light on a nation’s character. Australians are famously distrustful of flowery phrases and unnecessary verbosity, preferring instead language that is lean, direct and to the point-probably a reflection of a people more preoccupied with staying alive than comfortably developing mission or vision statements.”

So a perspective of this editor having reviewed many great speeches of Australian leaders is, we are  “more preoccupied with staying alive” and “we are famously distrustful of flowery phrase and unnecessary verbosity.”

In the history of Australia which was a bold vision (or a problem to be solved?)– there is a profound lack of National aspiration. It appears our imagination and foresight are limited by small problems. The big problems?

In the time since I published my book, I have given a number of presentations and asked the question: Name a national infrastructure project completed in Australia. Only one is really mentioned – the Snowy Mountains scheme – and it was completed in the mid-1950s. The NBN receives a very tentative mention. Of course, there are many national achievements, and we take them for granted.  They were not constructed as Nation-building projects: They were projects initiated by States formed as a result of Federation –

  • A major Airport in each capital city (driven by each State)
  • A national University system (driven by each State)
  • A national airline (QANTAS)
  • Five of the top ten companies on the ASX were started by the government (mostly banks)
  • The ABC
  • SBS

No one mentions Canberra! Building the National Capital is a major achievement! (some might challenge that!)

(Note: Maha Sinnathamby is current building Springfield in Queensland – the first privately built city in the world as I understand it. It is a Moonshot on its own!)

It might be they were not conceived as nation-building projects – they were responses to local needs and problems of the time.  There was no great national aspiration! But they are great achievements.

I am sure there are many others – I find it interesting that we don’t celebrate them. We take them for granted.

In my book Innovation in Australia -Creating prosperity for future Generations (first published in December 2019) I propose a number of Moonshots for Australia to challenge the existing thinking! I define a Moonshot as:

A Transformative nation-building project with a 30–50-year time frame that has bipartisan support and focuses on:

  • Developing our contribution to humanity, and or
  • Building a major physical infrastructure project that creates (or provide the vehicle for the creation of) national prosperity.

GREAT ASPIRATIONS (Moonshots) require an innovative boldness which is uncommon in Australia. What is your proposal for an Australian Moonshot?

Help! What is An I-9 Form?

Help! What is An I-9 Form?

An I-9 form is a document that all employers, no matter the number of employees, are a required to have for each employee. While this requirement has been in place since 1986, we find dentists are still sorely lacking in the knowledge and/or are failing to properly manage this area of employment compliance.

This should concern you because, according to the most recent data:

  • In fiscal year 2007, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted only 250 audits. In fiscal year 2012, ICE I-9 audits had risen to more than 3,000.
  • From 2009 until 2012, fines for I-9 violations grew from $1 million to $13 million.
  • The number of company owners, executives and managers arrested during ICE investigations increased to 238.

All indications are that fiscal year 2014 will, in fact, be worse. So this is not the time to be slacking off in this particular area of employment compliance.

Why bother?
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) requires all employers to verify the identity and employment eligibility for all employees hired after November of 1986. This is accomplished through the use of the I-9 form.

What needs to be done?
Section I is completed by the newly hired employee. Beyond getting basic information, this section asks the employee to indicate whether or not s/he is a citizen of the U.S. If not, the employee must state how it is that s/he is authorized to be in the U.S. working.

Section II is completed by the employer. In this section, the employer examines Section I and asks for documentation supporting the employee’s claim that s/he is authorized to work in the U.S. The employer reviews the documents and records the required information on the form.

Section III is also completed by the employer when an employee’s documents expire or an employee is terminated from employment and is re-hired at a later date.

You should be using the most current I-9 form available. Visit the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services website for the most current form (or call us). The form should have an expiration of 03/31/16 on it.

What are the Form I-9 Requirements?
Section I of the form must be completed on the employee’s first day of employment. Section II must be completed by the employer within the first three working days of the employee’s employment. This includes inspection of the provided documents. You cannot require the form to be completed prior to hiring the employee. NOTE: If employment is for 3 or fewer days, then both sections one and two must be completed on the employee’s first day of work prior to the employee commencing work duties.

The list of permissible documents is on the form under List A, List B, and List C. The employer must get one document from List A, or one from List B and one from List C. The employer may not specify the documents they will accept, nor may the employer request more documentation than is required. If the employee cannot provide the document(s) within the given timeframe, then termination of employment is advised. Continuing to employ undocumented workers is not recommended.

Photocopying the supporting documents provided is not required. Whether you choose to keep copies or not, you must be consistent with all employees.

What are the retention requirements?
You should keep the I-9 forms in a separate file. You must keep the forms on file for the duration of an employee’s employment. Upon termination, you must keep the forms three years from the date of hire or one year from termination, whichever is longer.

What are the penalties for lack of compliance?
Failure to comply carries civil and criminal penalties. Specifically, if you fail to complete or retain I-9s, civil fines range from $110-$1,100 per violation (i.e. for each time an I-9 should have been completed, retained, etc.).

Complying with I-9 form requirements is not difficult, or even time-consuming; it’s easy and, really, there isn’t a good excuse for being out of compliance. If you have been maintaining your I-9 forms, great, and you may want to consider an internal audit to ensure everything is in place correctly. If not, get on it now. Don’t risk serious financial losses if you ever find yourself in an audit situation.

Berger’s 6.5 mm Creedmoor 156 Grain Extreme Outer Limits (EOL) Elite Hunter rifle ammunition is designed for hunters that want to take full advantage of the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge for hunting in a custom or high end factory rifle. While the 6.5 mm Creedmoor was originally made famous by competitive precision rifle shooters, hunters quickly adopted the cartridge because it is able to shoot Rifle Bullets that are ballisticially comparable to heavier calibers, but at higher velocities and with reduced recoil, giving small to medium game hunters a distinct advantage.

The 6.5 mm 156 Grain EOL Elite Hunter Rifle Bullet utilizes an industry-leading long nosed hybrid ogive, which blends tangent and secant designs to optimize efficiency and reduce wind-drift. Elite Hunters are built on a thinner J4 Precision Jacket for rapid expansion on game animals, meaning it will penetrate 2-3″ and then begin to expand and create a massive wound cavity up to 15″. The hydrostatic shock causes most animals to drop immediately.

We load our 156 EOL with the same premium 6.5 Creedmoor cases that are trusted by international champion shooters around the world, a temperature stable powder, and match grade primers. You can be confident that whether you are hunting in cold high altitudes or out on the range in the summer, your ammunition will perform reliabily and effectively.

Distance (yds) Velocity (fps) Energy (ft-lb) Drop (inches)
Muzzle 2680 2488 -
100 2549 2251 1.92
200 2422 2032 0
