Red hot penny stocks

Members of the rock band Pearl Jam made a teenager’s dream come true Friday when they offered him a chance to fill in for drummer Matt Cameron during a concert at the Oakland Arena in California. When Cameron contracted COVID-19 , the band secured former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer and Oakland drummer Richard Stuverud as replacements, but a chance encounter inspired the band to invite a local teenager to play one song with them, according to the San Francisco Chronicle . The band invited 18-year-old Kai Neukermans to share the stage after Neukermans reached out to frontman Eddie Vedder’s daughter by text message. He had saved her number after meeting her at a music festival in 2018, according to the outlet. Neukermans told her he was up for the task of filling in on stage, but he didn’t think anything would actually come of it, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. “It was a last-minute thing, and I didn’t think it was going to work out,” he said.

By Sheriff Jim Wilson, Shooting Illustrated Image Caption: Ruger ’s PC Carbine is just one of the many options available for those who choose the PCC lifestyle. Accepting Glock magazines and with a variety of options for attaching accessories, the PC Carbine makes a lot of sense for defense. Students of firearm history know the concept of pistol-caliber carbines is not a new one. They really first became a hot item back in 1873, when Winchester introduced the Model 1873 carbine and rifle. Coincidentally, that is the same year Colt unveiled the Single Action Army revolver. In short order, Winchester offered the Model 73 in .44-40 WCF, .38-40 WCF and .32-20 WCF chamberings. Colt responded by chambering its big revolver in the same calibers. Surprisingly, in those days the Winchester was not chambered in .45 Colt; that only occurred in more modern times. Marlin and other companies soon got on the bandwagon, too, offering carbines that were compatible with Colt, Smith & … [Read more...] about How Pistol Caliber Carbines Can Fit In Your Defensive Plan

The bottom fell out from one of crypto’s fastest growing blockchains, LUNA, which promised to succeed where bitcoin failed. Its predictable collapse reverberated across the entire crypto market and is forcing investors to pick up the pieces. C rypto’s history has been defined by five resets. The first came in 2014 when what was basically the only bitcoin exchange in the world, Mt. Gox, imploded following a nearly half-billion-dollar hack. The second, in 2016, was The DAO hack, when an attacker tricked a smart contract into giving away $60 million worth of ethereum, worth $8 billion today. The third, in January 2018, occurred when the ICO bubble popped, starting a year-long decline wiping out 60% of the crypto market or more than $700 million mostly in the form of worthless junk tokens. The fourth took place in March 2020 when crypto lost 40% of its value along with most other global financial markets. Each reset not only led to price-market capitalization increases, they … [Read more...] about Crypto’s Great Reset: How Digital Asset Investors Will Recover From The Market’s $1 Trillion Meltdown
