SDR Traveller 1M Hauly The 1M Hauly is designed for the discreet, comfortable carry of up to US$1 Million in used bank notes.

In many countries project expenses and payroll for the local crew need to be carried in cash. Whether you’re managing a team of thirty working for months at the edge of the grid, or on a solo trip to negotiate a significant cash transaction, the 1M Hauly is designed for discreet, safe carry of up to $1 Million USD in strapped, new or used $100 USD banknotesDesigned to address the six main issues with carrying significant volume banknotes in field: risk of discovery; risk of damage (especially in high-humidity, monsoon environments); container robustness; carryability; glide; and in-field accounting.

A human heart awaits transplant in Bodenhausen, Germany. New advances in understanding high cholesterol may help people with coronary heart disease.

And the Oscar of Science Goes To … About ten years ago, cardiologist Helen Hobbs and her team made a discovery that "shocked even us."

The scientists had been investigating a liver protein, dubbed PCSK9, that's responsible for circulating harmful LDL cholesterol in the human body. Their experiments revealed that some African Americans who naturally lacked PCSK9 had an incredible 88 percent reduction in their risk of developing coronary heart disease. "That really got us thinking," says Hobbs, a professor at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. If PCSK9 could be inhibited in people at risk of the disease, science could develop a drug even more powerful than statins, the current gold standard for treating high cholesterol. The condition often leads to heart disease, which affects more than 13 million people and is America's number one killer. (Read "Healing the Heart" in National Geographic magazine.) This year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a PCSK9 inhibitor, with more medicines likely to come. "They’re gonna be huge," Hobbs predicts.

Otis Redding (1941-67). He was born in Georgia and started his career with Little Richard.

He released six albums from 1964, and another 14 were released posthumously. But it was not until five compilation albums were released from 1967 that he was recognised as the greatest soul singer in pop history. Singers with soul

Oh, and by the way, West Point apparently uses the words "full scholarship" in describing its tuition policies in its marketing materials:

It is inconceivable that in 1960 a black high school graduate with the academic credentials enabling him to get into Yale, and also graduating from high school ROTC at the top of his class would not have been courted by many including Army generals to apply for West Point,

or that he would not have received an appointment had he applied. The benefits would be free tuition and room and board: sort of a full expenses scholarship and it’s not unlikely that one or another of those trying to recruit him would have used the phrase “like a scholarship.” Dr. Carson chose to go to pre-med and medical school and the rest of the training to become a neuro surgeon rather than to join the Army; but it is not a surprise that he is proud of having been asked to go to West Point. It is also not a surprise that certain people calling themselves journalists use this pride to malign him because he may have said he was offered a scholarship. Chaos Manor – Jerry Pournelle

How can these priests, bishops and Bergoglio be doing these things?

How can they peddle sacrilege and heresy like this – day in, day out, week in, week out?

BECAUSE THEY DON’T ACTUALLY BELIEVE ANY OF THAT “BULLSHIT”. And by “bullshit”, they mean “Christianity”.

They don’t give a crap about the Eucharist because they DON’T BELIEVE IN THE EUCHARIST.

They don’t give a crap about God and His Holy Church or the Sacraments therein, or the Divine Law thereof because THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN ANY OF IT.Just a Reminder | Barnhardt

Democracy is the assumption of guilt

For that reason, before the question is even asked in a democracy, the answer is known: give more rights and benefits to anyone who does not have them; let the guilty go free; always destroy anything more powerful, more beautiful and more intelligent than we the herd. - - Amerika

Top Ten Adviceses for Aspirating Writerers

Make sure all the guidance you seek out on any topic is from a deciled list. Never read anything with even a hint of paragraphs about it. Numbered pages are right out. Don't waste your time with any wild-eyed iconoclasts while you're poking around the Intertunnel looking for your lists. Remember that nothing important ever consists of nine or eleven items. Ten items is your guarantee of quality.

We are Winning the War Against SJWs

Perform a thought experiment. If we wanted to take America back from the SJWs, how long would the fight last? 12 hours? 24 hours? The military is on our side.

Yeah right.
They're going to do exactly what their commanding officer tells them to, or go straight to jail, forfeit all pay and rank, then be dismissed with an undesireable discharge, and no benefits.

Reality: a cold blooded hor at times.

full GOVERNMENT scholarship

Like welfare. With a salary!

Say, isn't that what the DREAM ACT(up) is all about?

I have a qualified respect for West Point graduates and attendees. Not a full or free respect, however. When I attended Infantry Courses at Ft. Benning, my fellow lieutenants who were fresh from the USMA (well, fresh from their big leave after graduation, and they were rather crunchy not fresh from that swell fun) were a mixed bag of characters. A small handful were intelligent in no ambiguous terms, especially one who was heading for a full ride medical school, gratis the army, and another who got his appointment by being soldier of the year as an enlisted man.
The majority were in no way impressive to me, but then by that time I had been around the national guard for a full enlistment term and, unlike the West Pointers, I had spent time in troop units. They approached everything as a class of cadets would, and basically had not spent an honest or real day in the US Army.
Dr. Carson has said no more or less than many have said, including my wife, who passed 2 phases of the appointment application process and said exactly the same thing: she bragged that she "had" a West Point scholarship but turned it down. Being every bit the jerk I corrected her, but she said what everyone does in that league. No biggie.
Now that Dr. Carson has real traction in the Republican field, I look forward with fear at the crap the MSM will start to spew. I do sincerely hope that it becomes a soundboard to bounce back on the MSM their ignoble behavior during Obama's run.
