Even though school closures foiled area students’ plans to walk out of class on Wednesday, a crowd of hundreds of young people turned up at the State House for a rally and day of lobbying to pass gun control measures.
Waving signs reading “WE NEED GUN LAWS! NOT GUN FLAWS!” and “NEVER AGAIN,” and chanting “enough is enough!” and “we want education, not annihilation!”, they marched from the Cathedral of St. Paul to the steps of the state capital and then made their way inside.
Working in partnership with groups like the Massachusetts Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence and Moms Demand Action, they say they’re urging legislators implement extreme risk protective orders via a so-called “red flag” law that would empower judges to order gun seizures if petitioned by family members or housemates. A similar, but not identical, law was signed by Florida Gov. Rick Scott last week as part of a package of gun reforms.
They also called for federal gun control policies, like an assault weapons ban akin to the one we have in Massachusetts, and had tough talk for the local affiliate of the National Rifle Association, the Gun Owners Action League. The organization has sued to overturn the state’s ban on assault weapons.
Students who arrived in Boston hailed both from inside the city and from surrounding communities, representing from schools in Somerville, Cambridge, Arlington, Revere, Winchester, Wellesley, Waltham, Medford, and Shrewsbury, among others.
Some said they wanted to speak out because they felt the impact of gun violence in their day-to-day lives, and not just every time there’s another school shooting.
The day of action happened under a blue sky, but after a nor’easter dropped a heap of snow on Boston and beyond, leading to widespread school closures. Students said they were determined to lead their day of advocacy regardless of the weather.
“This is about showing our leaders that two feet of snow isn’t going to stop us,” said Maren Larkin, 16, of Arlington High School.
Students later gathered inside the State House’s Gardner Auditorium, where they spoke in front of a collection of state legislators who were receptive to their policy goals.
Those who addressed students included a Republican, Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr, of Gloucester, who cheered bipartisan accomplishments on gun control in Massachusetts and said he hoped to see that reflected in Washington.Assembled, the flat pack Shades array creates a colour gradient as it approaches the centre.

Please reloadThis trendy nightspot offers spectacular views of the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountains. Diners can choose to sit inside the large venue, but the real attraction lies on its terrace. The bar tends to draw in a young and hip crowd who flock to enjoy after-work drinks, while shisha is also available. Sit on one of the venue’s comfy bean bag chairs and soak up the atmosphere, from the relaxing lounge music to the downtown skyline. The menu is reflective of the venue’s sociable and relaxed attitude, with sharing platters and tapas on offer. Some of the dishes, such as the guacamole, are a little on the small side for two people, and with most dishes costing more than Dhs50 each, it means the bill isn’t exactly cheap. But the calamari and chicken quesadillas hit the spot. The setting is beautiful and can be quite romantic and intimate if you choose to dine in a cosy corner.
Boiling Springs, NC is a small private college town between Shelby &amp; Forest City.  20min drive.  Good if you like the small town thing.

You might want to look into the tax situation were you to live in SC.  It may, or may not benefit you, I'm not sure.  I do know that lots of people who work in Charlotte choose to live in SC for tax reasons.  You could live on the outskirts of Spartanburg and commute to Forest city within your time frame.

Asheville is a nice small city.. but if you prefer an urban environment you might as well head toward Gastonia &amp; Charlotte... none of the Western NC cities are what I would classify as urban... they're like small friendly towns that got big.FEB 27TH - We have a desperate situation requiring flying a (non-aggressive) feral mother (40 lbs) and her two feral 5 month old pups approx 25 lbs) from Indianapolis all the way to Winnipeg Canada. I can pick the dogs up in Pembina North Dakota if they cannot fly into Canada. We need air transport to lessen the flight risk (pardon the pun) as... these dogs are very very fearful and to transport from car to car would be too traumatic and risky.
Can anyone help please?Sam figured out the route for me as follows:
Indianapolis Int'l Airport (IND) (or near it) --to-- Kewanee Municipal Airport (EZI), Kewanee, IL; 190 NM
EZI --to-- Dodge Center Airport (TOB), Dodge Center, MN; 198 NM
TOB --to-- Elbo Lake Municipal Airport (Y63), Elbo Lake, MN; 178 NM
Y63 --to-- Pembina Municipal Airport (PMB), Pembina, ND; 184 NMClaudia and I did the two day tow to VIR, with rain most of one day. Last several hours was up and down hill on ok roads. We bypassed the real twisty stuff, as we were told that the Big Kahuna wouldn't make it.  First day (misting rain on slicks on a track I had only driven in the golf kart - (Thank you Andy McDermid for showing Little Andy and me around) I did a 720 spin into the grass. Second day a 360 and a 180 added to the misery. In addition, Andy Schneidemeyer and I went to the Monday night welcome party (after at least an hour waiting for the shuttle) only to find there was NO food. Then, another hour and a half to get back to the track. Compared to MidO or RA, it was the pits. Tuesday, Claudia and I had pretty good food at the Mazda area. Mazda really takes care of SCCA racers - not just the ones who race their cars. Wednesday, saw three more spins, resulting in my sliding sideways and backwards into the tire wall, tearing off the rear bumper cover. Ed Sodano did the repairs and I painted it with the only paint I had - black. We walked up the hill to the worker awards party, at about 7 p.m. to find they only had corn and mac and cheese left. Six lines of workers stood for an hour, waiting for food that never came. Pathetic.
Race day, I moved up about four or five places in three corners, only to get behind a Mustang blowing oil all over the track. I slid off a couple of times. More later.I updated to Joomla 3.7.0 from 3.6.5 and now all BBCODE Buttons are gone.
I tried it with Crypsis and Crypsisb3, also with different fonts.
please try to clean cache.
I have the same issue. I just tried to clear the cache in the back end and still see the same result.
It is interesting to note that the first time I click edit or quick reply, the buttons are missing. While still in edit mode, if I refresh the page, the buttons will load.
I'm using a Joomlart template (JA Mono) for the website. Could that be causing the conflicts? Or is this more of something not loading on the backend?
No buttons until I refresh while already in the editor.
Oh, and there are no buttons on reload.
Switching to Protostar temporarily does seem to make the buttons function better, although a lot of the layout still looks a little off kilter and janky.
Obviously, I cannot revert to Protostar, as my website is already up and functioning. I'm currently using JoomlaArt JA Mono template. It's based on the T3 Framework. Any idea what could be causing the issue?
I'll go ask on JoomlaArt's forum too.
The buttons are there with the protostar template.
It must be the template witch is not compatible with the Joomla 3.7.0 / Kunena whatever.....In the midst of a global pandemic, Texas Tech University launched its new Zoonotic & Infectious Diseases Research Center.
