Press Release:

In his ongoing efforts to preserve our Second Amendment rights, Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C,I-Batavia) today reminded pistol permit holders to re-certify their permits by January 31, 2018 in order to prevent them from becoming invalid. If your pistol permit was issued before January 15, 2013, you must re-certify your permit before January 31, 2018. If your permit was issued on or prior January 15, 2013, the deadline is five years after the date the permit was issued.

“Unfortunately, this is a new mandate on pistol permit holders in New York and the first year that owners have to re-certify,” Hawley said. “The deadline is coming up and many New Yorkers may be unaware of these new requirements. As much as we may disagree with the unconstitutional Safe Act, if we come out in droves to re-certify it will send the message to state leadership that we cherish our Second Amendment right to bear arms, and will not be silenced by any big government policies, as frustrating as they might seem.”

If you are a New York state pistol permit holder and need to re-certify your license or would like more information, please visit the New York State Trooper Website here. Additionally, feel free to contact my office with questions at (585) 589-5780, or email me at hawleys@nyassembly.gov.

Press Release:

By Tim Bojarski, for UNY USHWA

Anyone who has ever dealt with a quarter crack can appreciate what it takes to get their horse sound and racing again. Rusty Freeman is responsible for changing the way this debilitating condition is handled, reducing down time from weeks to days and turning the process into a state of the art form over the years.

As a result of his tireless work to help the breed, the Upstate New York Chapter of the United States Harness Writers Association (USHWA) will present Freeman with the Innovator’s Award for contributions to the sport of harness racing in the winner’s circle at Batavia Downs on Saturday (Dec. 16) during the 10th annual “Night of Distinction” awards ceremony.

Freeman was working as a factory machinist in western New York in the late 1970’s when he was first introduced to harness racing. While visiting a friend who had trotters, he was shown why a particular horse was lame with a hoof crack and the whole thing quickly intrigued him.

He developed a way to use a Dremel tool and cut out just the part of the hoof he felt was needed, and then put a tube under the patch. That way air could still get to the sore area to aid healing and it could also be flushed with antiseptic to keep it clean.

He then researched and developed an acrylic compound he uses instead of fiberglass and combines that with Kevlar cloth to do the patches. The combination of the tube under the new patch material gives the area every opportunity to heal and grow out properly in a short amount of time.

Freeman has been plying his trade at harness tracks in New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania for almost 40 years now and many times works hand in hand with vets. As a result, hundreds of horses have been made sound quicker, allowing them to get back in the box much sooner.

Also a farrier, Freeman is an accredited member of the American Association of Professional Farriers (AAPF) and helps other professionals in the field understand and benefit from his technics.

Post time for the first race on Saturday is 6 p.m.

The agreement between the Red Wings and the Genesee County Baseball Club, the owner of the Batavia Muckdogs,  includes a provision that if the team is sold, the Red Wings would receive five percent of the proceeds for each year the organization ran the team.  That agreement, Silver said, survives this decision by the league.

Les films pornographiques, également appelés films pornographiques, sont un genre de films pour adultes qui présentent des activités sexuelles explicites dans le but d’exciter sexuellement le public. Ces films vont du softcore, qui présente du matériel sexuellement suggestif, au hardcore, qui présente des actes sexuels explicites et non révélés. Une caractéristique commune de ces films est l’absence d’intrigue, de développement de personnages ou de dialogue substantiel, se concentrant plutôt sur la représentation de fantasmes sexuels.

Les personnes qui fréquentent la pornographie sont variées et c’est une idée fausse de supposer que seul un certain groupe d’individus s’engage dans ce type de contenu. En fait, des études montrent que la consommation de ces films varie selon les données démographiques, les groupes d’âge, le sexe et même le statut relationnel. De nombreuses personnes recherchent ces films comme une forme de plaisir personnel, d’exploration et de découverte de leurs propres préférences et fantasmes sexuels. D’autres regardent ces films en couple, les utilisant pour améliorer l’intimité sexuelle et s’inspirer de leurs propres expériences sexuelles. Cependant, il est important de noter que malgré son utilisation répandue, la consommation de porno reste un sujet sensible et personnel en raison de la stigmatisation sociale.

Diverses études de recherche ont tenté de fournir un aperçu démographique des personnes qui consomment ce type de contenu.

Selon les études les plus complètes, qui incluent les activités de tous les pays, il apparaît qu’il n’existe aucun groupe démographique particulier qui soit exclusif en termes de consommation de porno. Elle s’étend à tous les sexes, tous les âges (au-delà de l’âge légal de 18 ans) et tous les groupes socio-économiques.

Toutefois, certains modèles peuvent être distingués. Les hommes ont tendance à consommer du contenu pornographique xnxxfr plus fréquemment que les femmes, le plus grand nombre de visionnages étant assez constant dans la tranche d’âge des 18-35 ans. De plus, des enquêtes indiquent que les célibataires sont plus susceptibles de regarder des films pour adultes que ceux en couple.

Cela indique une influence considérable des aspects socioculturels sur le visionnage de porno.

Les effets du visionnage de pornographie sur les individus et la société

Ces conséquences potentielles appellent des discussions et des recherches plus approfondies sur les effets profonds que cette forme de média peut avoir.
