This map shows the water supply pipeline route from Enoggera Reservoir and Brisbane City, and is available from the Brisbane City Council Archives. I'm not sure if this was the final route or the route that was planned before difficulties were encountered when building the tunnel across the boundary of the Ithaca Creek and Western Creek catchments.
It is the only map that I have found that depicts the path of Western Creek through what is now Norman Buchan Park, the Governor's grounds and Rosalie Village. I've used this map previously in The lost creeks rise again and John Oxley and the chain of ponds.

Mike Ricker Returns
∙ READING TIME: 8 MINUTES ∙
February 04, 2018 | WES ABNEY
Mike Ricker is an iconic Seattle DJ whose theatrical improvisation and sharp commentary anchored rock station KISW for 7 years.
How did Cannabis come into your life?
I was around that culture as a child. It was the 70's, and Cannabis was just used in the household. I never tried it until my father took my best friend and me to a Santana concert. We were bored and I was 12-years-old, and we made our way up to the extreme back upper left corner of the auditorium just to see what the view was like. Sitting on the steps there, we noticed the guy in front of us rolling a joint, and he lit it. Then back came his hand with a joint pressed between the thumb and fore-finger, so my buddy who was a year older looked at me, gave a smirk, hit it and passed it to me and I followed suit. Boy, were those different times, or what? Today the guy would've been cuffed and taken to CPS. Mind you, I did not get high until I tried it again at 15 and an instant love affair with Cannabis began.
When did you first start working with radio?
Growing up, my dad was a radio DJ, and I did my first commercial when I was 7 years old for a shoe store. I got paid $5. It was at that point I knew what I wanted to do for a living, because it was the easiest $5 I ever made. And when I went to class, I'll never forget the teacher saying, "Everyone, we heard Michael on the radio this morning." And there's little Lisa sitting a couple rows over looking back at me and batting eyelashes. Five bucks and the attention of the females, I was sold.
How did you end up in Seattle?
My radio career brought me here. I got fired in Tampa and my agent had passed my demo along to the program director of KISW right about that time. When he learned I was available, they made an offer to bring me here.
I cried my eyes out when I got here, because this was the last place in the world I expected to be. I felt like I was being shoved into a closet. I came from Pensacola, my home town, and subsequently Tampa, where it's sunny, lots of attention, we had a massive radio station, and then I came here and the station was rebuilding and I had to start over–hero to zero in a flash. It was November of 2002, the rains were incessant, the sun was gone by 5pm, and the Seahawks were horrible. And the Buccaneers were on their way to a Super Bowl. I was all about the party.
Seattle instantly fell in love with your style and personality on air. How would you describe your role?
Provocative, theatrically based, and anti-hypocrisy. It's based on the fictional story of a "sort of" Rock star named Ricker. Because my radio persona really was the alter ego of my real personality, the one I give daily to the Cannabis industry. There's no pretending here. You get the real guy.
High Noon was a free speech hour on your show that championed Cannabis in Seattle, where people would call in and talk about using Cannabis and allegedly toking on air. How did Cannabis play into your role as a DJ?
Part of being a "shock jock" meant always looking for ways to blur the lines between indecency and entertainment. It was always my intention to draw attention, and I knew that Cannabis was a controversial subject. But I also knew I could get away with it. Because however controversial, it was not defined by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) as being actionable. So, you could talk about it so long as you didn't smoke it in the studio.
But you had people smoke on air?
Yes. But how do we know that they weren't creating theatre themselves, as I was. The whole show was theatre of the mind. Remember, George Bush was in office and Michael Powell was head of the FCC and although you could bring the funny on-air, you had to walk a very thin line for fear of being fined. And those fines were hefty for a major broadcast corporation, and were I the recipient of one of them, that could make my career very difficult to maintain. The witch hunt was bullshit, all fueled by the Janet Jackson nip-slip. In my opinion, their attacking of entertainment culture was a manipulated diversion from the wars that they were imposing on our country to protect multi-national interests. Total hypocrisy! I never had any inclination to sway anyone politically. I just know factually that shows like mine and Howard Stern's were very much scrutinized because the government wanted to blame America's problems on indecency while Afghans and Iraqis were being gutted. But my show wasn't about politics, so I positioned Cannabis as a party tool, a common thread of communication between people who were cool. I never saw it as something medical at that time, just a sub-culture that was risky to talk about and fun to use.
When did that shift?
Coming aboard to WAM Oil awakened me to the concept of medical marijuana. Technology has come a long way in recent years. There was no research funded until states started legalizing it. And now with extractions you get high levels of cannabinoids and that's what WAM Oil specializes in. So, this party tool that we've been gravitating to for happiness, or for escape for the past 60 to 70 years, suddenly, we're finding, has potential benefits for the human brain and body far deeper than anyone imagined. And with research continuing, the possibilities of the Cannabis plant are endless.
How did you first connect with Brandon hamilton and Giana lampreda, the founders of WAM oil?
Brandon was actually a caller on the show. He's a big Dallas Cowboys fan and back in the Tony Romo days he would call in every year to predict a Cowboys win over the Seahawks, and I'd always laugh and say the Cowgirls we're going down. One day I was at the gym and I heard someone ask my name, and he shook my hand and said, "I'm Cowboy!" We became friends and then several years later he began experimenting with extractions. This became his passion and he quit his architecture firm in 2010 to start WAM OIL.
Now, I love hash, and by this time I'd left Seattle for a radio gig at KUFO in Portland which only lasted two years, so I started decompressing and travelling the world. And every time I'd come back to Seattle, I would buy WAM Oil. Then, in 2016, he asked me to come aboard and help with marketing, and I initially said, "No thanks, I'm good."
What made you change your mind?
At the time, I was living in Ocean Beach in San Diego surfing a lot, burnt out on self-promoting, which is a big part of success in show biz. A while later I went to Machu Picchu, Peru, because I wanted to do something special for a mid-life birthday, and I meant this guy with full dreads, beard, traditional shaman garb. He was really cool, so I asked him if he had a joint, which is super illegal there, and he did! We smoked, and then he said "While you are here you have to do Ayahuasca." At that time, I was kind of lost and wandering and I felt the need to get back into something exciting. My friend and I were supposed to go surf Chicama for the next ten days, but instead, out of pure instinct, we hopped a plane to a city called Iquitos to meet a guy in the Amazon who'd take us further into the jungle to a retreat.
What was it like to be taking Ayahuasca in the jungle?
It was butterflies and rainbows because I had been working on myself for years and had come to the realization that living in the now is imperative to happiness, learning to love and forgive yourself for whatever is making you anxious. That's why I bring up this whole story. When I finished the trip, I wasn't like some who say they are "cured of addiction" or "I'm changing careers" or whatever people go through in their metamorphosis. At that time, I wasn't exactly certain what I got out of the experience, but I realized I was very intrigued with plant-based medicine because of how ayahuasca could be a way to spiritual healing.
How did that experience change your perspective?
I knew I wanted to live life to the fullest. Now I don't have time for games, it's time to live in the present and shed your unhealthy conditioning, the reality is now. The past and future are only figments of our Imagination. So, suddenly I remembered that Brandon had asked me to be involved in his Cannabis business, and WAM! it was a Eureka moment, "This is it," I told myself, "this is my destiny!" That's what Mother Ayahuasca did for me: directed me into a whole new career, one that's not based on ego, but one of plant-based medicine.
It was the universe giving me exactly what I need for the next phase of my life and it's really exciting.
So once you decided to join the industry, what attracted you to working with WAM Oil?
The aesthetic of the brand really spoke to me with the blue "W" as the logo. It's clean and confident and an established brand with a platinum reputation. The product speaks for itself; it's 100% pure, full-spectrum, carbon filtered Co2 oil that tastes delicious and is very effective. The fact is that my partner Giana Lampreda is a six-time cancer survivor by doing a full regiment of Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) and WAM OIL daily, mainly Lemon Remedy, our signature strain. How can you say no to that? The proof is there. I don't claim that it will cure cancer for everyone, but I know that it did for Giana. So that was a big factor for having the faith to dive into this company head first. Another was that WAM Oil came into the 502 game late, as it stayed in the medical market until the very last day, so we fell two years behind the major players. If it weren't for WAM Oil I probably never would have had an opportunity to become an owner. So, I could get in at a grassroots level and build the brand with the vision that I had, rather than piggybacking on someone else's vision.
How does it feel to break ground in a new industry and be back in Seattle on a new path in life?
It's wonderful, I love Seattle now! We are on this earth for a given amount of time, and in my opinion, to repeat the same things, the same ideas, over and over, is a curse. The Dalai Lama says that our purpose in life is to seek happiness, and I believe him. And I've heard other philosophers try to answer the eternal question of why are we here, and it took me a long time to finally realized the answer. And the answer is to gain experience, it's that simple. So, I want to gain as much experience as possible. Sadness, pain, happiness, elation, this is all part of the human experience. I'm a human, so I'm going to drink up and not let a moment pass by unnoticed.
Final words of wisdom for our readers out there?
I'm all for Cannabis use, but here's some vital Information for all you millennials that think that happiness is found in a joint or a dab—if you love yourself and are happy with yourself the high is 20 times better. So start doing the work.

Judicial Supremacy Has Its Limits
By John Yoo
About John Yoo
(Onur Ersin/Dreamstime)
The Court's decisions are not binding on the executive and congressional branches.
In Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court used its power of judicial review to legalize gay marriage throughout the nation. In one fell stroke, five Justices short-circuited the democratic process, which was gradually removing barriers to gays, and swept aside the Constitution's reservation of family-law matters to the states. Even while they may disagree on gay marriage, most Americans believe they must obey Obergefell because the separation of powers gives the Supreme Court the ultimate authority to interpret the Constitution.
Prominent defenders of traditional marriage, however, have gone beyond the usual criticism of a mistaken judicial decision to attack the Supreme Court as an institution. "I will not acquiesce to an imperial court any more than our Founders acquiesced to an imperial British monarch," said Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas and GOP presidential candidate. "We must resist and reject judicial tyranny, not retreat." Fellow candidate and Republican senator Ted Cruz has proposed constitutional amendments not only to overturn Obergefell, which other candidates support, but to subject Supreme Court justices to periodic elections.
While these politicians, I believe, have overreacted, they hit upon an important truth about our Constitution. Contrary to popular belief, Obergefell does not settle the question of gay marriage, because the Supreme Court cannot finally determine any fundamental constitutional dispute. Claims of judicial supremacy have appeared before, ranging from the odious (Dred Scott's defense of slavery) to the courageous (Brown v. Board of Education's condemnation of segregation). But these views mistake the Court's right to decide cases or controversies under the Constitution for supremacy in its interpretation.
EDITORIAL: Against Redefining Marriage — and the State
Many of our greatest leaders have understood that, in a self-governing republic, the people and not the courts must settle fundamental constitutional issues. President Abraham Lincoln, for example, believed that Dred Scott only decided a controversy between two parties before the court and could not bind the president and other officials. "If the policy of the government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by the decisions of the Supreme Court," Lincoln wrote in his first Inaugural Address, "the people will have ceased to be their rulers." Instead, the people will have "practically resigned their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal." Lincoln was right: the Civil War, not the Supreme Court, resolved the question of slavery.
While the Constitution does not grant the federal courts the final word, it implicitly gives the courts a right to interpret the Constitution. As Chief Justice John Marshall famously observed in Marbury v. Madison, which established the power of judicial review, "it is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is." When judges confront a case where one side relies on a federal statute and the other on the Constitution, they must choose the Constitution as the higher law and put aside the act of Congress. The judiciary's power to interpret the Constitution derives from its responsibility to decide cases and controversies under federal law.
Rather than give any one branch the final word, the Constitution creates three branches that can compete over its meaning.
But the Constitution does not vest the courts with the exclusive right to interpret its meaning. It nowhere says that the Court's reading of the Constitution bears superiority over the other branches of government. As Thomas Jefferson wrote to Abigail Adams in 1804 to explain his decision to drop existing prosecutions under the Sedition Act, "nothing in the Constitution has given [the judiciary] a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the executive to decide for them. Both magistracies are equally independent in the sphere of action assigned to them." Indeed, the separation of powers means that the legislature and the executive also must interpret the Constitution in the course of performing their own unique functions. Congress should not pass bills that violate its understanding of the Constitution; the president should not sign bills that violate his.
RELATED: The Supreme Court Ratifies a New Civic Religion That Is Incompatible with Christianity
Rather than give any one branch the final word, the Constitution creates three branches that can compete over its meaning. The separation of powers means not only that the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court are separate, but that they are also independent of one another. According to Jefferson, "the opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional, and what are not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature & Executive also, in their spheres, would make the judiciary a despotic branch."
#related#Opponents of gay marriage are summoning this deeper understanding of the separation of powers to resist Obergefell. But the Constitution itself provides less drastic means than attacking the Court's independence. Rather than subject justices to term limits or elections, critics must persuade the American people that the courts have overstepped their proper role by reading their personal preferences into the Constitution. They can change Obergefell's result by seeking judicial nominees who will restore primary control over family law and marriage to the states. Like the opponents of Roe v. Wade, they can create a political and cultural environment that makes a return to the Court's proper role possible. While such a campaign could take decades, as has the movement to restore control over abortion to the states, conservatives should work within the bounds of tradition, even when the Court does not.
John Yoo is the Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at the University of California at Berkeley, a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, and a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

So, Will The BDSers Boycott Facebook?
Bad news for the BDSers. It's just been announced that Facebook has
"acquired Onavo, a three-year-old start-up that makes data compression software and offers a variety of analytic services for smartphone applications.The purchase of Onavo, which has about 40 employees, gives Facebook, the world's biggest social networking company, its first office in Israel.
Most of Facebook's employees work at its headquarters in Menlo Park, California, and historically, the company has sought to pull workers at acquired companies into the mother ship. But Onavo cut a deal to keep most of its employees in Tel Aviv as part of the sale, which was for about $120 million, according to a person familiar with the terms.
The big draw for Facebook is Onavo's pioneering data compression technology, which helps smartphones cut data consumption as much as 80 percent. Such compression is vital to the goals of Internet.org, an organization started by Facebook's chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, in August that is trying to offer mobile Internet access free or at very low cost to the about four billion people globally who do not have it....
Guy Rosen, co-founder and chief executive of Onavo, said that his company would largely function as a stand-alone entity, much like two previous Facebook acquisitions, Instagram and Parse. (Snaptu, another Israeli start-up with innovative data compression technology, was absorbed into Facebook after it was purchased in 2011, and its technology forms the basis of the company's Facebook for Every Phone software for more basic phones.) ..."

So, will the BDSers boycott Facebook? After all, to be true to themselves they really should.
No, of course they won't. Hypocrisy is integral to the BDS movement, whose members couldn't do without so many Israel-originating technological (and medical) innovations we all take for granted.
Besides, they're having too much fun on Facebook spreading their poison against Jews (sorry, Zionists) and Israel and, yes, promoting the Boycott obscenity any way they can.

WEST LAFAYETTE, IN - SEPTEMBER 23: Head coach Jim Harbaugh of the Michigan Wolverines looks on against the Purdue Boilermakers in the second quarter of a game at Ross-Ade Stadium on September 23, 2017 in West Lafayette, Indiana. Michigan won 28-10. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

Karan Higdon ran for 200 yards and two touchdowns and Chris Evans added 191 yards rushing and two more scores, helping Michigan pull away to beat Minnesota 33-10 Saturday night.
The Wolverines (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten) have won two straight with a heavy dose of the run after losing two of three games in part because they couldn't pass well.
The Golden Gophers (4-5, 1-5) made it 7-7 on Rodney Smith's 10-yard run late in the first quarter, but the game was tied for just 26 seconds.
Higdon scored on a 77-yard run on the ensuing drive and his 5-yard TD run padded the lead in the third quarter.
Evans had 60- and 67-yard TDs in the second half, giving Michigan a 33-7 lead.
The Gophers scored with 1:51 left, choosing to kick a field goal from the Michigan 5 instead of going for a fourth-and-4.
Minnesota: The Gophers are clearly rebuilding under first-year coach P.J. Fleck. The former Western Michigancoach wisely refused to build up the opportunity to upset the Wolverines because he is going to be given time to turn around the program.
Michigan: Brandon Peters was solid in his first start, handing the ball off much more than he was asked to throw. He was 8 of 13 for 56 yards with a 20-yard TD pass to Sean McKeon on his first possession.
The game started about an hour later than scheduled because of lightning strikes in the area and it ended as the clock approached midnight.
Minnesota: Hosts Nebraska.
Michigan: Plays at Maryland.

Who is Rafferty Law? 6 Facts About Jude Law's Oldest Son
By Rachel Semigran
Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
The Internet went abuzz Thursday afternoon with the news that Jude Law is soon having his fifth child with ex Catherine Harding, as first reported by People magazine. Law has three children with his first wife Sadie Frost — Rafferty, 18, Iris,14, and Rusy, 12, — and another daughter, Sophia, 5, with Samantha Burke. According to Law's rep, "I can confirm that Jude Law and Catherine Harding are expecting a child together in the spring. Whilst they are no longer in a relationship, they are both wholeheartedly committed to raising their child." The news of Law's fifth offspring came as a surprise to fans as his relationship with Harding was relatively secret from the media.
The newest addition to the Law clan not only has famous parents, but famous siblings in the mix as well. Law's oldest son Rafferty, 18, is a budding musician and model. Aside from looking exactly like a young Jude Law, Rafferty already seems to be picking up on his dad's and his mom's taste for the spotlight. He made quite the impression earlier this summer when he made his modeling debut in London for DKNY. But, he's not just a pretty face and the product of famous parents. Here's more on Rafferty Law and what to expect from his budding career:
He's in a Band
Rafferty plays guitar and sings for his band The Dirty Harrys. His dad dutifully goes to their gigs. They bill themselves as, "Punk, Ska, Psychadelia and real rock n' roll."
He got his start working for Blur

The legendary rock band hired the young musician to help tune instruments before performances. According to Rafferty, "I did work experience for Blur for two weeks when they were rehearsing for their reunion gig, because Damon [Albarn] is really good friends with my dad."
He's Signed to a Big Agency
Rafferty Law is currently with Select Model Management, one of the biggest and most prestigious in the UK.
He refers to himself as "Raff"
Fair enough, Raff it is.
He's not into acting

Though he admires his father's talent, he's in no rush to get on-screen, In an interview with London's Evening Standard he commented, "I did feel a bit of pressure when I joined my first boarding school [Bedales in Hampshire]. In my drama lesson, I think everyone thought: 'Oh God, he's going to be so brilliant.' Then they realized that I wasn't that good, so they just let me get on with it."
He Still Gets a Report Card
And apparently his dad is very strict when it comes to grades, while his mom is a little more relaxed, "I've never been that hard-working, just enough to get by. I got an A, B and a C at AS level. The goal is to move them all up one grade. Once I've done that and shown my parents that I can work, then I can go and do my own thing."

Mikel Arteta Reveals Arsenal's Next Captain After Removal Of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang
empezy
Mikel Arteta has opened up on his plans for the armband at the Emirates after the Gabon international was stripped of his role.
Mikel Arteta has revealed Arsenal's plan to succeed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as captain of Arsenal.
The 32-year-old was granted permission to go to France to be with his unwell mother last week, but returned later than expected, and was left out of Saturday's 3-0 win over Southampton as a result.

This is not the first time the Gabonese forward has been guilty of a disciplinary breach after he missed last season's North London Derby win over Tottenham due to persistent incidents of lateness and the decision was taken on Tuesday to strip him of the captaincy.
And speaking in his press conference ahead of the Gunners' Premier League clash with West Ham on Wednesday night, Arteta has revealed how he plans to replace Aubameyang in the role.
"Well, we have the leadership group, and we think that we have different players that are nominated to be captain," said the Spaniard.
"In the last game it was Laca, we have Granit who has been captain as well. We will follow that.
"Obviously it's a really unpleasant situation and it's not the moment to make any rash decisions.
"That leadership group is really strong. It's the one that communicates with myself and the coaching staff and with the club in a really clear and strong way. We're gonna continue like that." He added.

Former Homeland Security Secretaries Fire Off Powerful Letter Warning Congress over DACA deadline
As Congress begins negotiations to enact legislation that would give young undocumented immigrants known as " Dreamers" the opportunity to continue to live and work in the United States, three former secretaries from the Department of Homeland Security have come forward to pressure lawmakers to come up with a legislative solution by the March 5th deadline proposed by President Donald Trump. As previously reported, the President has given Congress until March 5th to act before the majority of work permits issued under the now defunct Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) will begin to expire. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program during September of last year.
On January 3rd, Michael Chertoff, the former Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush, Janet Napolitano, and Jeh Johnson, former secretaries under President Barack Obama, fired off a powerful 2-page letter warning members of Congress that time is quickly running out for Congress to enact a legislative solution to the DACA problem in a responsible and realistic manner. The letter emphasizes that Congress must act swiftly, much before the March 5th deadline, to give the Department of Homeland Security enough time to "meet the significant administrative requirements" that would be necessary for implementation of any legislative solution proposed by Congress.
The letter also affirms that swift legislative solution would ensure certainty for American companies and small business owners employing young recipients of DACA. In order to meet the objectives for implementation, the former secretaries urge that "the realistic deadline for successfully establishing a Dreamers program in time to prevent large scale loss of work authorization and deportation protection is only weeks away," placing that deadline in the middle of January.
They stress that if Congress does not act by the middle of January there will be formidable challenges imposed on the Department to come into compliance with a late breaking legislative solution. It is important for lawmakers to enact a solution as quickly as possible in order to give the Department the time necessary to come up with a system that will "effectively adjudicate applications for status adjustments by Dreamers."
Failure to enact a legislative solution by January, coupled with the fact that the majority of DACA recipients will begin to lose their status on March 5th, further intensifies the need for Congress to consider the DACA issue urgently in the month of January.
A point at issue is that although the President can extend the deadline for Congress to act, the possibility of an extension does not minimize the sense of urgency here because "legislation is the only permanent way to prevent . . . Dreamers from losing work authorization and becoming subject to immediate deportation."
An urgent legislative solution is made all the more necessary because USCIS will need time to prepare immigration officials so that they may effectively adjudicate applications for status adjustments by Dreamers. The former secretaries have advised Congress to come up with a legislative solution by January 19th, "to provide enough time for USCIS to process applications before tens of thousands of DACA recipients are negatively impacted by the loss of their work authorization or removal from the United States."
More information to be provided as it develops.

Why Invest in Web3 and How to Do It?
Investors and organizations are highly aware of how important it is to adapt new and innovative technology in the competitive market of today's digitally agile environment. Just like other businesses and industries, the internet is constantly evolving too.
Users of the first iteration of the web (Web1) could mostly just read the material; the second iteration (Web2) has given us additional opportunities to participate in reading and writing. But with Web3, users may browse, publish, generate, and own the material they contribute.
What is so fascinating about Web3? Some claim that Web3 will revolutionize web technology entirely. Although Web3 is still in its developing stages, it is rapidly expanding. You can invest in this innovative and growing technology in multiple ways. We will look at some of the best possible and profitable ways to invest in Web3 in this blog.
What is Web3, and how did it start?
The phrase "Web3" was first used in 2014 by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood defined it as a "decentralized digital ecosystem built on blockchain." It is a brand-new hybrid internet that intends to develop into a decentralized variant of the virtual community.
Web3 is being constructed, controlled, and owned by its users instead of being dominated by big tech companies. It employs Blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs to return control to the general public rather than to powerful businesses and tech giants.
Instead of the traditional way of payment, Web3 engineers and developers are compensated with crypto tokens. In addition, Web3 users have the freedom to decide which projects they wish to support and the opportunity to be paid handsomely by becoming Web3 investors.
The Web3 ecosystem:
Since we are aware of the financial potential of Web3, let's look at the different protocols, networks, and apps that are developing it. Web3's strength, despite self-government, lies in its ability to be modular and interoperable.
Composability is the capacity to use assets and protocols as building blocks for more sophisticated applications. Composability enables programmers to create exceptional products more efficiently, eventually attracting more consumers to the sector. All of this is to imply more investment toward the Web3 ecosystems and to comprehend its modular components.
Layer 0:
Blockchain networks may be constructed using platform-neutral protocols and virtual machines that make up Layer 0. Although layer 0s are not physically investable resources, they might lead you to channels with a large user base.
Blockchain systems that support the creation of apps and tokens on top of a distributed ledger, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, are called layer 1s (L1).
Add-on solutions that predominately make Layer 1s more robust are called Layer 2 (L2). L2s also include cross-chain gateways that let other platforms move their tokens between Ethereum and other networks.
Decentralized apps (dApps), adept at doing the desired complex tasks, make up Layer 3. These can sometimes be known as isolated applications that consumers utilize for engaging directly. However, Layer 3s primarily serve as elements that developers choose in their consumer-facing products.
The top layer in the hierarchy, Layer 4, is where users often start their Web3 experience. Therefore, instead of competing based on technological prowess, several Layer 4s elements attempt to offer the optimum user experience and customer service.

How to invest in Web3?
Here are several ways in which you can invest if you are interested in owning a piece of Web3 and expectantly making money from it:
Investing in Crypto:
When considering Web3 investments, cryptocurrency is likely to be the first thing that comes to mind. This is because buying and selling virtual currency is the most apparent investing strategy in Web3.
You might invest in cryptocurrency through crypto mining if you have technical expertise. Cryptostaking is another approach to profit from crypto coins. It allows you to make money just by retaining your crypto.
Investing in Web3 stocks and companies:
Due to the increased exposure and involvement in Web3, several technological firms are progressively prepping and orienting themselves for this new phase of web technology, which may influence the overall economic outlook.
Some firms, like Microsoft, are already publicly trading, and you can benefit by purchasing the company's shares. In addition to purchasing equities in Web3 firms, you may invest in startups developing Web3-related services.
Investing in NFTs and Metaverse:
Investing in NFTs and Metaverse exposes investors to Web3, which will facilitate NFTs and Metaverse development services. Another strategy is to invest in metaverse real estate by utilizing NFTs to buy "property" there; nevertheless, this is risky.
NFTs will have enormous potential value in Web3 because of their uniqueness. It can be used as a medium of exchange for purchasing, leasing, and swapping in the Metaverse. NFTs may also be used for visual painting, gameplay, an electronic wallet, and other purposes, as NFTs provide limitless opportunities.
Investing in Blockchain technologies like Ethereum and Polkadot:
Another way to invest is to gamble on projects or Blockchain that will provide a stable foundation for upcoming Web3 dApps. Of course, Ethereum would be the primary one, but because of its exorbitant prices, other options like Polkadot are much more feasible.
Passive vs. Active investing in Web3:
Passive investing is purchasing a pre-assembled allotted portfolio, sometimes known as an index. Passive Web3 investors may purchase Metaverse ETFs or use a cryptocurrency-specific Robotic assistant. On the contrary, active investing entails selecting particular stocks and digital assets that you feel will beat the stock market in the long run. However, Web3-focused valuation indices are still minimal, but their significance is rising.
Blockchain, dApps, and Web3:
User engagement, Blockchain, and decentralized apps (dApps) are inextricably linked. Users must be able to respond directly to peers without a firm gathering and sometimes restrict data along the route. But how can an application function without the assistance of a corporation? dApps accomplish this by appearing as smart contracts on a public blockchain like Ethereum rather than on a commercial database.
A public blockchain system enables dApps to offer assistance to anybody without the involvement of any corporation. For example, Web3 illustrates how a DeFi app links users to one another compared to a typical financial app that links each consumer to a financial organization.
Who is building Web3?
By finding and investing in Web3, visionaries and investors are scheming to guarantee that their existing tech investments stay viable in the forthcoming era of technological revolution.
The most notable investors in Web3 are venture capitalists and tech giants, who consider Facebook's approach to renaming themselves Meta as an indication of how firmly Web3 is being accepted.
Gavin Wood also founded the Web3 Foundation in Switzerland, which provides financing and training for Web3 initiatives. The organization has provided funds for over 300 initiatives in over 50 countries.
Web3 and individual:
Web3 promotes individual user engagement from a philosophical standpoint. As a result, most Web3 initiatives emphasize their inaugural white paper to explain how many of their tokens (and the possible revenue and power that comes with token possession) are accessible for purchase by the general public.
In addition, companies sometimes "airdrop" free tokens to specific communities to entice interest. Acquiring (purchasing, earning, or receiving) Web3 project tokens is the most common approach to investing in Web3 technology and draws individuals in.
Web and Metaverse:
Web3 and Metaverses, in reality, are the perfect match since Metaverse users engage essentially with other users, and Metaverse community members are frequently encouraged to assist with environmental governance and development.
Web3 technologies have the potential to create a set of safeguards for a buoyant economy in which people may securely share their biometric/confidential information and emerge in Metaverse content interactions.

What else does Web3 promise?
Web3 can take on almost infinite variants as a technological stack rather than a precisely defined framework. Aside from banking and Metaverse dApps, additional Web3 options include social networks, gaming, instant posting, and other applications.
User involvement levels will determine the extent to which Web3 empowers users. The most productive Web3 initiatives will be those in which users are keen to be a part of the community, willing to dedicate content, and eager to offer feedback.
It is hard to predict how quickly Web3 will progress and what the investments made by Big Tech and venture investors will signify for the future World Wide Web. However, what is evident is that giant firms are taking this transformation seriously and that many influential (and affluent) voices believe in the utopian vision of an internet that moves the user from the digital "for lease" cubbies to the owner's couch.

At that time, then-Chief Judge Stan Morris said he didn't want criminal defendants to face depictions of the Klan while they awaited trials.
Even if the depiction was historical, Morris said, the Klan contradicts the mission of the court: fair justice.
County leaders then moved the mural to the first floor of the combination courthouse and government office building so it faces the entry doors.
Barber wrote an accompanying historical guide to the mural, and he gave a guestbook so people could offer their opinions.
"When the group known as the 'Radical Republicans' gained control of the state in 1868, the Reconstruction program took an unpleasant turn. ... The reversed order was severely resented by a large segment of the white population. Lawlessness among ex-slaves and troublesome whites was the rule of the day. No relief was given by the carpetbag and scalawag government or by the Union troops. The result was the emergence of secret societies claiming to bring law and order to the county. One of these groups was the Ku Klux Klan, an organization that sometimes took vigilante justice to extremes but was sometimes the only control the county knew over those outside the law. The Klan faded from view at the end of Reconstruction. It had minor come-backs in the 1920's and mid 1950's. Since then it has become the subject of legend rather than a cause of fear."
The KKK illustration is small, doesn't have a prominent place in the mural and can be easy to overlook.
Mural supporters have staunchly defended the artwork , including the KKK depiction because it documents a period in the county's history.
In 2015, John Phillips, a Jacksonville lawyer known for taking on high-profile cases, described the mural as offensive and said it should be taken down.
Nonetheless, the mural remains intact and in place.
Stone said he is "a firm believer in history, and that you learn from your history. But part of the equation of history is when you document something and place it in context, it has a time and place."
A museum is a perfect place for the mural, Stone said because it will allow people to come view it and express their views of it.
"But in a courthouse where Lady Justice is supposed to prevail, where everybody is supposed to get an equal, fair shake, a mural depicting a vigilante group that is opposed to equal rights and opposed to equal justice, shouldn't be in that building," Stone said.
Stone said as of Monday, they had not received a response from Nilon.

Report on Disability-Inclusive Policies
Published: 9 August 2016
Author: Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities
Presented: To the GA at its 71st session, 26 October 2016
Link: A/71/314 | Easy-to-read
This report explains the economic case for disability-inclusive policies, relying on mounting evidence on the cost of their exclusion. Disability-inclusive development strategies not only improve the situation of persons with disabilities, but they are also better for the economy, contributing to the development of society as a whole. In the report, the Special Rapporteur provides guidance for policymakers to ensure that all policies and strategic frameworks, from the design and planning to the implementation and monitoring are fully inclusive of persons with disabilities.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted in 2015, represent an exceptional opportunity for States to include persons with disabilities in National Development Plans and strategies. In order to meet the SDGs goals and targets, State policies and programmes must meet the needs of persons with disabilities.
To understand the cross-cutting impact of disability in the person, family and community, the Special Rapporteur argues for the need to look at poverty rates using multi-dimensional approaches. Among the many elements to be considered when implementing disability-inclusive policies at national levels, three key aspects are highlighted:
The existence of a framework that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in all areas of life, and ensures that reasonable accommodation is provided to persons with disabilities.
Accessibility is a requirement that must be set up to enable persons with disabilities to access and enjoy all programmes and services, and to participate fully and independently in society.
The availability of services and the provision of assistive devices that support the autonomy and inclusion of persons with disabilities, allowing them to benefit from all policies and programmes on an equal basis with others.
The report elaborates on key considerations for implementation of disability-inclusive frameworks, which include strategies for mainstreaming, adequate frameworks for ensuring participation, adequate funding, monitoring and data collection mechanisms, as well as strong safeguards to prevent gender inequalities and other forms of discrimination.

Find Out The Complete Winners' List From The Oscars 2017
This Year's Ceremony Was A Bit Odd
by Luis Farage 02/27/2017, 3:41 pm 55 Views
The Academy Awards show was last night and it certainly will be one to remember for many years on. As it was full of dark and political humor, thanks to Jimmy Kimmel who even tweeted current POTUS. Full of dreams coming true, not only for the award winners but also for a bunch of lucky fans who were granted an entrance to the ceremony. Full of controversy and candy.
Especially when the "Best Movie" award was granted. Due to an error that was pretty weird TBH. So in case, you missed some of it, were are going to leave you the list of the winners and a bit of the controversy that happened last night.

Best actor in a supporting role.
Most of the times the secondary characters are overseen. But they're equally important as the main ones. Since they give sense to the story. As they shape the world, story, and many other features of the main characters.
The nominees in this category were: Jeff Bridges for "Hell – High Water." Lucas Hedges – "Manchester by the Sea," Dev Patel – "Lion," Michael Shannon – "Nocturnal Animals," and finally Mahershala Ali – "Moonlight," who won the category, for his role as Juan.

Secondary characters are equally important. Especially in the case of women who most times are underappreciated but play some of the most important roles in life. Every great person in life has had a mom. In love stories, all the Casanovas had that one girl that got away and so on.
Besides we are always glad to watch some beautiful women on screen. The nominees were: Naomie Harris – "Moonlight," Nicole Kidman – "Lion," Octavia Spencer – "Hidden Figures," Michelle Williams – "Manchester by the Sea," and Viola Davis – "Fences" who won the award and gave a very touching and emotional speech.

Best foreign language film.
The name says it all as it is self-explicatory. But this is one of the coolest categories of all. Since it proves that our love for the movies transcends cultures and languages barriers. Also, some of the best, most colorful and intense movies are from foreign countries.
The nominee movies were: "Land of Mine" from Denmark, "Tanna" from Australia, "Toni Erdmann" from Germany, "A Man Called Ove" from Sweden and the winner film "The Salesman" from Iran. Sadly the director of the movie couldn't receive the award due to Trump's foreign ban. Something that added more political controversy to this Oscars edition.

Best animated feature film.
Another of the best categories. Not only because it's something that we enjoy since we were kids. But also due to the amazing characters, art and imagination awesomeness and display that this kind of movie usually has.
The nominees were: "My Life as a Zucchini," Studio Ghibli's latest "The Red Turtle," the amazing stop motion from Laika "Kubo and the Two Strings," and Disney's "Moana," and "Zootopia." Being this last one the one who won the award.

Best original song.
This category is always fun. Especially since music is such a key element of the movies. Who will ever imagine Jaws, Star Wars, Requiem for a Dream or Psycho without it's iconic theme songs or musical pieces? Also, since one of the most nominated movies of this year was a musical (La La Land), music played a keyrole in this edition.
The nominated songs were: "The Empty Chair" – "Jim: The James Foley Story," "How Far I'll Go" – "Moana," "Can't Stop the Feeling" – "Trolls," and from "La La Land" – "Audition (The Fools Who Dream)" and the winner "City of Stars." That was played by John Legend in the ceremony.

Best director.
The director is one of the most acclaimed roles in the movie industry. Since it's vision is what you see on screen. Besides, he's the guy in charge, so it's also one of the most stressful jobs that there exists.
The nominees were: "Mel Gibson – "Hacksaw Ridge," Barry Jenkins – "Moonlight," Kenneth Lonergan – "Manchester by the Sea," Denis Villeneuve – "Arrival," and the winner Damien Chazelle for directing "La La Land."

Best lead actor.
The role many would love to play. Since the story turns around him and by the end of the day he gets the girl and achieves his dream. Besides, it's the one we suffer along with the whole film, so by the end of it, we have a close and emphatic relationship with him.
The nominees were: Andrew Garfield – "Hacksaw Ridge," Ryan Gosling – "La La Land," Viggo Mortensen (AKA Aragorn) – "Captain Fantastic," Denzel Washington – "Fences" and Casey Affleck who won for his role as the odd uncle on Manchester by the Sea.

Best lead actress.
Again one of the roles everyone would love to be on. Not only because it's the prettiest girl you will see in the film. It's also the most badass one, and again by the end of the movie, she ends up better than before.
The nominees were: Isabelle Huppert – "Elle," Ruth Negga – "Loving," Natalie Portman – "Jackie," Meryl Streep – "Florence Foster Jenkins," and Emma Stone who not only was the favorite but that also won the category for her role as Mia on "La La Land."

Best picture.
The most awaited category of the night. As it's the whole of all the other categories. Also, it's the story that makes us fall in love with a particular film and with movies in general.
The nominated movies were: Arrival, Fences, Hacksaw Ridge, Hell or High Water, Hidden Figures, La La Land, Lion, Manchester by the Sea, and Moonlight. Moonlight won the category under the oddest circumstances. Since it was first said that the winner was La La Land. But it was due to a mistake in the envelopes delivered to the presenters of the awards. Turning it into a ceremony that will surely pass to the history books
WATCH: 'La La Land' announced as #Oscars Best Picture winner, but only until a mistake is realized with 'Moonlight' being the real winner. pic.twitter.com/BUnehZV5WB

Aamir Khan starrer 'Lal Singh Chadha' may be released next year
Sanya Sharma
The effect of Coronavirus is being seen all over the world. In such a situation, the film industry is also not untouched by this. Due to the lockdown, shooting of film and TV shows has been stopped for almost two months. In such a situation, many films can be postponed for some time. The release date of Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer Lal Singh Chadha can also go ahead.
Actually, Aamir Khan and Kareen Kapoor were shooting their film Lal Singh Chadha in Punjab before the lockdown. All actors and units had returned to Mumbai due to the closure of all types of shooting from 19 March. The film was planned to be released at the end of the year at Christmas. Before that, Aamir had plans to release the teaser of the film till Diwali, but in view of the current situation, nothing can be said about the shooting of the film again.
People related to production say that so far only sixty percent shooting of the film has been completed. VFX also has a lot of work in the film. In such a situation, it is difficult to release the film on Christmas. It is believed that now Aamir can release this film in March-April next year. However, no official announcement has been made by the production team about it yet.
Let me tell you that Aamir Khan's film Lal Singh Chadha is an official remake of the Hollywood actor Tom Hanks' film Forest Gump. It is very much a Hollywood hit and hit film. Now to see what level does Aamir take Lal Singh Chadha? The audience expects a lot from Aamir. People also hope that soon the shooting of the film will start and theaters will also open.

Delta notifies passengers of couple that has COVID-19 after flying – Business Insider

Delta Airlines and health officials are tracking down individuals who came in contact with a Japanese couple that tested positive for coronavirus after flying to Japan from Hawaii.
The couple visited the Hawaiian islands of Maui and Oahu from January 28 to February 6, then flew back home on Delta flight
The next day, the man tested positive for COVID-19. A day later, the woman did too.
Delta Airlines and Hawaii health officials are scrambling to alert individuals who may have come into contact with a Japanese couple that tested positive for the novel coronavirus while visiting the islands. After the man and woman flew back home to Japan on February 6, there are concerns that fellow passengers could have contracted the virus.
On Friday, eight days after the couple left the islands, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told state health authorities that the man tested positive for the virus, known as COVID-19. A day later, his partner tested positive, the Japan Times reported.
The man began displaying signs of the coronavirus while traveling in Oahu from February 3 to February 6. According to the CDC, individuals can display symptoms of COVID-19 between two and 14 days after exposure, which means the man could have contracted the virus before arriving in Hawaii. It is unclear when the woman began displaying signs of illness.
Delta is contacting all the passengers on the couple's flight 611, a 10-hour journey from Honolulu to Nagoya, Japan. The airliner departed in the afternoon on February 6, landing in Nagoya on the evening of February 7 after crossing the International Date Line.
"The health and safety of our customers and crews is our top priority," a Delta spokeswoman told Business Insider. "In cooperation with Japanese health officials, we are proactively reaching out to customers who were onboard that flight as well as taking the necessary steps to ensure the safety of our customers and crew."
On Wednesday afternoon, the spokeswoman said she didn't have an update and wouldn't clarify when the company started notifying passengers.
The couple was in Hawaii from January 28 to February 6
The man and woman, both in their 60s, were in Maui from January 28 to February 3, and then Oahu until their February 6 flight home. Authorities are investigating whether the couple had close interaction with anyone during their visit.
So far they have found one individual who spent time with the couple, according to Lieutenant Governor Josh Green.
That man "is in two weeks of home isolation now," Green told KHON, a CNN local news affiliate.
Authorities only know details of when and where the man contracted the virus. For now, there is no information on when and where the woman became ill, according to CNN.
The man had no symptoms while visiting Maui, and then developed cold-like symptoms on Oahu but had no fever. During the latter half of their trip, the couple stayed at a timeshare at the Grand Waikikian by Hilton Grand Vacations in Honolulu.
"It's very likely the [man] was exposed in Japan [before he traveled to Hawaii] or in transit coming to Hawaii, and became sick when he was here," Hawaii Department of Health Director Bruce Anderson said at a press conference on Friday.
According to state epidemiologist Dr. Sarah Park, the man did not seek medical attention until getting to Japan, where his symptoms worsened, CNN reported. "Our focus is about his whereabouts while he was on Oahu, because that's when he developed symptoms," she said at the press conference.
As they flew to Japan, the man wore a mask, and he may have also worn one on other parts of the trip.
The coronavirus death toll has reached more than 2,000, with more than 75,000 infected. Here's everything we know about the outbreak.
