Q: Paint cells using as reference text within a clicked cell I have data like this in different cells in column F: 3RG-1S,22,45YM+1W,32VC,23
How can I do to once I click on a cell in column F, in this case, rows 3, 22, 45, 32 and 23 get painted in yellow?
Please help, I've been trying to do this, but I don't know how to use those formulas within VBA

End If

End Sub

At the moment I'm using the following code that highlights cells but only when I have a simple number as a value. I can't find a way to get the numbers 3, 22, 45, 32 and 23 from a string like this: 3RG-1S,22,45YM+1W,32VC,23.

The rug collection which combines craftsmanship and contemporary design. The design on the Reflections In Ink rugs was born from original ink sketches of diagonal and orthogonal series by Studio Lawrence designer Patrick De Louwere. His compositions are a search for harmony in sequences.
Made using the very best materials and manufacturing, the rugs are hand tufted using 100% New Zealand Wool and use 4kg of wool per square meter. A variety of techniques have been employed to bring the designs to life; a looped pile creates soft volume and texture for the diagonal series while, for the orthogonal, a cut pile of two lengths is used to create the sense of ink lying upon the page.

Q: Solving boundary value problem with coupled odes at interface I am trying to get the eigenvalues of the following differential system
eq1 = -2*\[Psi]'[r]/r^3 - k^2*\[Psi]''[r] + 2*\[Psi]''[r]/r^2 - k^2*(-k^2*\[Psi][r] - \[Psi]'[r]/r + \[Psi]''[r]) - \[Psi]'''[r]/r - (-k^2*\[Psi]'[r] + \[Psi]'[r]/r^2 - \[Psi]''[r]/r + \[Psi]'''[r])/r + \[Psi]''''[r] == 0;
eq2 = -k^2*\[Phi]A[r] + \[Phi]A'[r]/r + \[Phi]A''[r] == 0;
eq3 = -k^2*\[Phi]F[r] + \[Phi]F'[r]/r + \[Phi]F''[r] == 0;

with some functions used in the system
bw[r_] = -(1/4)*(r^2 - 1/4 - 2*Log[2*r]); bq = (\[Epsilon] - 1)/Log[4]; b\[Phi]A[r_] = Log[2*r]/Log[4]; b\[Phi]F[r_] = Log[2*r]/Log[4];

The odes are subjected to the boundary conditions at rL = 1/2 and rR = 2:
\[Psi][rL] == 0; \[Psi]'[rL] == 0; \[Phi]F[rL] == 0;
bcR = \[Phi]A[rR] == 0;

as well as the matching condtion at r=1:
mbc1 = k^2*\[Psi][1]*(c - bw[1]) + \[Psi]''[1]*(c - bw[1]) - \[Psi]'[1]*(c - bw[1]) - \[Psi][1] == -I*k*2*bq*(\[Psi][1]*b\[Phi]A'[1] + \[Phi]A[1]*(c - bw[1]));
mbc2 = k*\[Psi][1]*(1 - k^2) - 2*I*k^2*\[Psi][1]*(c - bw[1]) + I*(3*k^2 - 1)*\[Psi]'[1]*(c - bw[1]) - I*\[Psi]'''[1]*(c - bw[1]) + I*\[Psi]''[1]*(c - bw[1]) == -2*k*(b\[Phi]A'[1]*(b\[Phi]A''[1]*\[Psi][1] + \[Phi]A'[1]*(c - bw[1])) - \[Epsilon]*b\[Phi]F'[1]*(b\[Phi]F''[1]*\[Psi][1] + \[Phi]F'[1]*(c - bw[1])));
mbc3 = (-I*k*c + I*bw[1]*k)*(\[Epsilon]*(b\[Phi]F''[1]*\[Psi][1] + \[Phi]F'[1]*(c - bw[1])) - (b\[Phi]A''[1]*\[Psi][1] + \[Phi]A'[1]*(c - bw[1]))) + I*k*(-\[Psi][1] + \[Psi]'[1])*(c - bw[1])*bq == 5*(b\[Phi]A''[1]*\[Psi][1] + \[Phi]A'[1]*(c - bw[1])) - 5*(b\[Phi]F''[1]*\[Psi][1] + \[Phi]F'[1]*(c - bw[1]));
mbc4 = \[Phi]F[1]*(c - bw[1]) + b\[Phi]F'[1]*\[Psi][1] == \[Phi]A[1]*(c - bw[1]) + b\[Phi]A'[1]*\[Psi][1];

in which c is a complex eigenvalue in general, k and \[Epsilon] are parameters.
Note:

*

*the function bq and the b.c.s mbc2 and mbc3 include the parameter \[Epsilon];

*eq1 and eq3 are defined in rL<=r<=1 while eq2 is defined in 1<=r<=rR;

*eq2 and eq3 have the same form and both have a general (explicit) solution:
\[Phi][r] == C1*BesselI[0, k*r] + C2*BesselK[0, k*r]. However, in this problem, I'd like to solve them numerically.
My aim is to calculate the eigenvalue c for a set of \[Epsilon] and k. I have tried to use the package developed by @SPPearce since it can deal with a similar problem with an interface. The main difference is that in my problem the eigenvalue only appears in the b.c.s, while in that problem the eigenvalue appears in both odes. I have also noted the package can cope with eigenvalue dependent b.c.s, which can be invoked as follows:
Needs["PacletManager`"]
PacletInstall["CompoundMatrixMethod", "Site" -> "http://raw.githubusercontent.com/paclets/Repository/master"]
Needs["CompoundMatrixMethod`"]

sys[k_, \[Epsilon]_] = With[{k = k, \[Epsilon] = \[Epsilon]}, ToMatrixSystem[{eq1, eq2, eq3}, {\[Psi][rL] == 0, \[Psi]'[rL] == 0, \[Phi]F[rL] == 0, bcR, mbc1, mbc2, mbc3, mbc4}, {\[Psi], \[Phi]F, \[Phi]A}, {r, rL, 1, rR}, c]]

Note that according to the problem the independent variable should be given as {r, rL, 1, rR}, however, ToMatrixSystem returns the system unevaluated and Plot[Evans[c, sys[1, 5]], {c, 1, 3}] gives null. With independent variable specified as {r, rL, 1} instead, it seems to put the equations into matrix form as required by this method. But Plot[Evans[c, sys[1, 5]], {c, 1, 3}] gives many errors. I understood that the problem could be converted into a solvability condition for a matrix problem: M x=0, in which we may require Det[M]==0 for non-trivial solutions. But in general for odes without explicit solutions, I'd like to solve the problem numerically.
This package works well for a problem with two coupled odes and for the above-mentioned problem with an interface, both of which look more complicated than mine. I don't understand why it does not work. I would be very thankful if anybody could suggest how to solve this problem.

A: Rather than trying to hack the package referenced in the question, I found it easier to solve the problem from first principles.  With quantities as defined in the question, the solution is
csolve[k0_, ϵ0_] := Module[{sψ1, sψ2, sA, sF, rules, a1, a2, a3, a4},
  sψ1 = NDSolveValue[{eq1 /. k -> k0, ψ[rL] == 0, ψ'[rL] == 0, ψ''[rL] == 1,
    ψ'''[rL] == 0}, {ψ[1], ψ'[1], ψ''[1], ψ'''[1]}, {r, rL, 1}];
  sψ2 = NDSolveValue[{eq1 /. k -> k0, ψ[rL] == 0, ψ'[rL] == 0, ψ''[rL] == 0,
    ψ'''[rL] == 1}, {ψ[1], ψ'[1], ψ''[1], ψ'''[1]}, {r, rL, 1}];
  sF = NDSolveValue[{eq3 /. k -> k0, ϕF[rL] == 0, ϕF'[rL] == 1},
    {ϕF[1], ϕF'[1]}, {r, rL, 1}];
  sA = NDSolveValue[{eq2 /. k -> k0, ϕA[rR] == 0, ϕA'[rR] == 1},
    {ϕA[1], ϕA'[1]}, {r, 1, rR}];
  rules = Join[Array[(D[ψ[r], {r, # - 1}] -> a1 sψ1[[#]] + a2 sψ2[[#]]) &, 4],
    Array[(D[ϕF[r], {r, # - 1}] -> a3 sF[[#]]) &, 2],
    Array[(D[ϕA[r], {r, # - 1}] -> a4 sA[[#]]) &, 2]] /. r -> 1;
  NSolveValues[CoefficientArrays[Subtract @@@ {mbc1, mbc2, mbc3, mbc4} /. rules
    /. k -> k0 /. ϵ -> ϵ0, {a1, a2, a3, a4}] // Last // Det, c]]

A typical solution is
csolve[4., .1]
(* {0.158348 - 2.1338 I, 0.159074, 0.159074, 0.159074, 0.169511 - 0.275478 I} *)

In general, two of the solutions are distinct and vary with k and ϵ.  The other three are unchanging, equal to 0.159074.
The solution takes advantage of the fact that the equations, along with their boundary conditions, are linear and homogeneous.  Hence, two independent solutions for eq1 satisfying the boundary condition at rL can be computed using NDSolveValue with ψ''[rR] and ψ'''[rL] specified arbitrarily.  Note that only {ψ[1], ψ'[1], ψ''[1], ψ'''[1]} are specified as output, because only they are needed to compute c.  Values for {ϕF[1], ϕF'[1]} and {ϕA[1], ϕA'[1]} are determined similarly.  These quantities then are substituted into {mbc1, mbc2, mbc3, mbc4} to obtain four equations for the four coefficients of the ODE solutions previously computed.  Because these linear equations are homogeneous, they have nontrivial solutions only if the determinant of the terms of the equations vanish, which determines c.
This procedure can be generaized without difficulty to other systems of linear, homogeneous ODEs.

Classic Cambodia Small Group Tour
Home » Destinations » Cambodia » Classic Cambodia Small Group Tour » < Back to Cambodia
Combining the magnificence of the Khmer Empire with lively Phnom Penh, this introduction to Cambodia is the perfect way to get acquainted with this captivating nation. Witness the grandeur of ancient Angkor Wat, see the enigmatic faces of Bayon, confront the tragedy of the recent past and delight in the hopes for the future on this classic Cambodian adventure.
Day 1 Phnom Penh
Sua s'dei! Welcome to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6pm tonight. If you arrive early, perhaps stroll the streets of Phnom Penh, taking in the interesting French colonial architecture. The National Museum, with its collection of classic Khmer craftsmanship, is well worth a visit. Dinner tonight will be at the Friends International restaurant, an organisation that provides training and employment in the hospitality industry to disadvantaged youth. It's a great restaurant to support and the food is delicious – the Western and Asian fusion tapas dishes have put this restaurant on the must visit list.
Today a full city tour introduces you to the sights of Phnom Penh, a city that lies near the confluence of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers. The private quarters of the Royal Palace are home to King Sihamoni and are closed to the public. You will, however, be able to visit the Silver Pagoda that lies in the palace complex, which is the most sacred temple in the country. Phnom Penh remains a living relic of the country's past struggles and successes. Your included visits to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek tell the story of the tragic legacy of the Khmer Rouge. Tuol Sleng is a former school that served as a Khmer Rouge torture centre, and it's estimated that more than 20,000 people were held and tortured here. The Killing Fields of Choeung Ek are home to a stupa made up of some 8,000 human skulls, marking the site of the infamous location. This was the execution ground for the torture victims of Tuol Sleng, and standing in this peaceful setting, it's almost unthinkable to imagine that to date nearly 9000 corpses have been exhumed from the area. The visits are major parts of the experience here, but if you don't wish to visit them, please let your leader know. There is an optional visit to Wat Phnom, the temple that gave rise to the foundation of the city in the 15th century. After today's activities, you may wish to spend this evening relaxing in a cafe by the riverfront.
Day 3 Siem Reap
Take a short flight to Siem Reap (approximately 1 hour). The small but expanding town of Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor and is the most popular destination for travellers in all of Cambodia, perhaps even in South East Asia. You'll probably notice a change of pace here, so take a walk and enjoy the atmosphere. A visit to the old market is a must, even if you're not looking for souvenirs, wandering through the stalls and surrounding shops the silks, cottons, sarongs, silver and statues are a riot of colour and a feast for the eyes – and there will be one for your stomach too if you try some of the cheap, delicious street food! There's also a long tradition of shadow puppetry in the region, and if you're lucky you might catch a show at one of the local restaurants in the evening, perhaps while you're eating the specialty cuisine of Cambodia – amok, the name given to curry steam-cooked in banana leaves.
Day 4 Siem Reap / Angkor Wat
Spend a full day visiting the amazing temples of Angkor on a guided exploration. Angkor Wat is the largest and most complete structure, and the only one of Angkor's temples that has its entrance facing west – the others face east. Of all the temples visited today, Bayon is the centrepiece, with over 200 smiling carved faces and more than 50 gothic towers. For lunch you'll visit the Sala Bai Hotel School where disadvantaged local youth learn skills that enable them to find gainful employment in the hospitality industry. Afterward, you will head to Ta Prohm, a temple where nature has taken over, as large trees have become embedded in the stone foundations of the structure. End the day with a sunset view of the temples – an extraordinary way to see the sun go down.
Embrace a very early start today if you wish to experience a sunrise visit to the Angkor complex (this is optional). Today you'll visit the temple of Banteay Srei – you'll see it's not a huge temple, but thanks to its intricate stone carvings it is sometimes referred to as 'the jewel in the crown of Angkorian art'. Later this afternoon, get an insight into the daily life of Cambodians on a village tour. See the rice fields and family allotment that surround the traditional stilt houses. Be welcomed into a local home as you join together for sunset drinks. This evening, enjoy a final farewell dinner with your fellow travellers and one last night of delicious Cambodian cuisine at a specially chosen restaurant.
After breakfast, you are free to leave at any time, as there are no activities planned today. If you would like to spend some more time in Siem Reap, we'll be happy to organise additional accommodation for you (subject to availability).

Thousands protest in Moscow after opposition figures barred from city council ballot
Doug Stanglin
As many as 25,000 protesters rallied in central Moscow Saturday to protest the refusal by city election officials to allow several opposition figures to run for the Moscow city council.
Alexei Navalny, Russia's most prominent opposition figure, told a roaring crowd he will call for a protest next Saturday in front of Moscow city hall, near the Kremlin, if the barred candidates were still not allowed to register and "we won't leave."
While Saturday's protest at Trubanaya Square was officially sanctioned, a march outside the mayor's office likely would not be approved.
Moscow police put the size of Saturday's crowd at 12,500, but a non-governmental organization called White Counter that tallies participants estimated the size at 22,500, Moscow Times reported.
Navalny wrote on Twitter that the turnout was the biggest since 2012, when demonstrators turned out to protest Vladimir Putin's return to the presidency.
'Fake news' threat:Americans could be a bigger fake news threat than Russians in the 2020 presidential campaign
Demonstrator Maria Semyonova said at Saturday's rally: "They are making North Korea of our country, depriving us of freedom and rights."
One of the barred candidates, Dmitry Gudkov, told the crowd: "Your couch is your grave."
"It's really a protest against Putin," Abbas Gallyamov, a former Kremlin speechwriter turned political analyst, told Moscow Times. "These elections have clearly become a way of expressing a much deeper frustration and demand for political representation."
Vladimir Putin:Russia seeking friends, not enemies
The election commission last week rejected signatures backing several well-known candidates for the fall city council ballot.
Valentin Gorbunov, the head of the Moscow city election committee, said some signatures were disqualified because the names and other details matched those of deceased residents, Moscow Times reported. Supporters of the candidates whose signatures were excluded responded by posting on social media to prove that they are, in fact, alive.
Last month, police detained around 500 protesters at an unauthorized demonstration over the arrest of investigative journalist Ivan Golunov on apparently fabricated drug charges. Golunov was later freed and top police officials fired over the arrest.
At Saturday's demonstration, protesters carried signs proclaiming "Putin No!" and "I have the right to choose."

Are The Men Of Europe Prepared To Be Shagged Out Of Existence By More Virile Immigrants?
Ferguson comes to France, in a surge of anti-police violence, after a Black criminal was shot dead by the Police, an event which resulted in the destruction of local small business properties and a couple of dozen cars, the owners of which are of no consequence to the rioters, whom created this havoc, without a care as to the safety of local people during their excuse to destroy to their heart's content, for the sheer thrill of it all.
Nantes is fast becoming the French Capital of protest, after the recent riots, as a group calling themselves ecologists, tried to take control of a piece of land, on which they had illegally installed themselves, during a protest against a proposed airport, were driven out by the Police and their village destroyed. This is in keeping with Agenda 21, which forbids any form of habitation, outside of a Human Habitation Zone.
There are many people in France, whom are waking up to the reality, that they are being taken for a ride. It is becoming ever more clear that they can never do enough to satisfy the demands of incoming "refugees," thousands of whom stream in annually from the Maghreb, where they are in no danger, but where the Social payments are less generous.
There is no work available in France, for the hundreds of thousands of Arabs, whom have already swamped France, even as all of the well paid jobs were on their way to Asia. One can assume that had these immigrants been in search of work, would they not have gone to where there is work to be done and not to Europe which is still suffering from a recession?
Muslims from other places go to Dubai and other Gulf States, where there is work for them, unlike the Maghrebian, whom fully understand that there is no work in Europe, as most of them have unemployed relatives, already installed in France, while at the same time, they set about destroying the system which is taking care of them.
Many of these people, whom we are being daily assured, will be of great benefit to Europe, arrive equipped with a hand-book, advising them as to where they will be paid the most and housed in relative luxury, even at the expense of indigenous homeless people, in all European Union idiot States.
Marseille in France is a typical example. There are thousands of illegal immigrants, demanding welfare assistance in the City, which has an Arab majority, with thousands of them unemployed, whom are warning of grim consequences should France not provide them with more stuff.
One is obliged to take these threats without response, or else! It is claimed that despite the fact that these folk arrive from countries which are at peace, that they have some sort of right, to be in France.
Millions of them are living in Urban Zones, doing their shopping at Lidl's, eighty percent of them have never had a job, as would be the case 'back home' in the Maghreb, where there is also high unemployment, so in view of the already significant generosity of the French people, one would expect that these unemployed drifters, having chosen France as a host State, would keep a low profile, particularly in view of the fact that the French Christians, the Pieds Noir, were driven out of the Maghreb, after Independence, along with those hundreds of thousands of Arabs whom had been employed by the French, but not a bit of it, they arrive by the hundreds of thousands every year, every one of them expecting to be treated like some sort of Royalty, as soon as they set foot on French soil. Take a look at how the Arabs treated the Harki and the Pieds Noirs.
A couple of days ago, I asked an acquaintance who he thought would win the match of football between France and Uruguay, he dismissed the question with a sneer, 'I wont be watching, they're all Black and Arab.
After that, I approached a friend who I asked the same question, his response was even more direct. 'Why would I watch a French team composed of Blacks, brought in from Africa and instantly Naturalised, allowing them to play for France?" I totally agreed with that, but then the same thing applies to every European Team in the competition.
I had a difference with an American, who supported the idea of Blacks taking part in White European traditional events. I mentioned how ridiculous, I felt it was to find the 'selected' Black in the middle of a Celebration of traditional Irish Music and Dance. She thought that to be fine and inclusive. I asked her, did she support, the notion of a team of Zulus, doing their Ugga, Wugga, War Dance, which included a bunch of White dancers? She responded with "That's different."
While eating with a group of friends, which included a Moroccan woman, whom of course, as she lives in France, explained to me, when I made a remark about the French Football team, that "We are all the same." I responded by asking her, "That being the case, why are there no White people playing in any Maghrebian National football team, or indeed in any Black African team, while every European team contains numerous Blacks and Arabs?"
"She replied because there are no White People in those countries." I immediately suggested to her that all of the French White Christians, had been driven out of the Maghreb and all of Africa. In Zimbabwe, a country of immigrants, of many different Black Tribes and Whites of many Nationalities, the majority Blacks confiscated White property and handed it over to immigrant Blacks.
South Africa, another White Country, in Africa, a reality which is difficult for all Africans to accept, where a small White population of six or seven million Whites, were expected to feed and house and educate and employ, forty million Black immigrants.
Just writing down that reality, demonstrates the huge crime which was committed against the generous White African People, under the auspices of Bolshevik Jew, Joe Slovo and the Bolshevik Communist Millionaire Nelson Mandela, both of whom destroyed the homeland of the best cared for Blacks in Africa.
South Africa is now a basket case and in ruins, as the New Leaders are incapable, despite the assistance of covert Jews, behind the scenes, to maintain the standard of living, which the Blacks were encouraged to destroy, which was supplied by the Afrikaner's.
The Moroccan, with who I was speaking, had no response to the fact that Blacks in South Africa had already massacred 85,000 Whites and were preparing the last attack, to completely wipe them out. I suggested to her that perhaps, that was the reason why there were no Whites playing for African football teams, simply because we are not all the same, except when it suits.
I asked whether she could provide me with the address of just one high density urban zone in Morocco, filled with unemployed White French people, with all of the residents claiming welfare assistance, similar to that claimed by millions of Moroccans in France?
Of course she could not, because only nasty, White Christian idiots provide such things, and are made to suffer for their generosity. I offered to provide her with the address of dozens of Muslim filled Zones, all over the local city. She of course had no need of such information, and I was considered to be, racist, fascist, xenophobic and all the other forms of evil, for having dared to mention such truths, concerning Muslim hypocrisy.
Everywhere you look across Europe, Muslims are bellowing about their intention to take control of Europe, through the medium of producing millions of babies, while White Christian people appear to have lost their virility.
We Christians have been urged for decades to reduce our population, through whatever means possible, "To Save the Planet" so why is no restriction being placed on the number of babies allowed in immigrant families, through the offer of sterilisation, abortion and the pill for Muslim families, sounds like a conspiracy to me, why would the politicians now allow this mass population increase, across Europe, when the miserable experience in France and Germany, is available for all to see?
Europe has no need whatsoever of extra people, and without the use of birth control and abortion, Europe could manage quite well on its own. You know that makes sense!
Are White Guys all really completely shagged out? Are they all prepared to watch these incomers claim their White women, to bastardise all White kids out of existence? Like it or lump it, that is the cunning plan. It worked in South Africa and it will work again in Europe and America.

Homepage City Brussels map
Brussels map
Bruxelles map. Brussels map (Belgium) to print. Brussels map (Belgium) to download. Since the founding of the Kingdom of Belgium in 1830, Brussels has transformed from being almost entirely Dutch-speaking (Brabantian to be exact), to being a multilingual city with French (specifically Belgian French) as the majority language and lingua franca (see Brussels map). This language shift, the Frenchification of Brussels, is rooted in the 18th century and accelerated after Belgium became independent and Brussels expanded past its original boundaries.
Bruxelles map
Both immigration and the status of Brussels status as the "capital" of the EU mark its status as a cosmopolitan world city. The migrant communities, as well as rapidly growing communities of EU-nationals from other EU-member states, speak many languages like French, Turkish, Arabic, Berber, Spanish, Catalan, Basque, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, German, and (increasingly) English. The degree of linguistic integration varies widely within each migrant group (see Brussels map).
Despite what its name suggests, the Brussels-Capital Region is not the capital of Belgium in itself. Article 194 of the Belgian Constitution establishes that the capital of Belgium is the City of Brussels, a smaller municipality within the capital region that once was the city core. However, although the City of Brussels is the official capital as its shown in Brussels map, the funds allotted by the federation and region for the representative role of the capital are divided among the 19 municipalities, and some national institutions are sited in the other 18 municipalities.
Under the Köppen climate classification Brussels experiences an oceanic climate (Cfb). Brussels proximity to coastal areas as its mentioned in Brussels map influences the area climate by sending marine air masses from the Atlantic Ocean. Nearby wetlands also ensure a maritime temperate climate. On average (based on measurements the last 100 years), there are approximately 200 days of rain per year in the Brussels-Capital Region.
Since the end of the Second World War, Brussels has been a main centre for international politics (see Brussels map). Hosting principal EU institutions as well as the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the city has become the polyglot home of numerous international organisations, politicians, diplomats and civil servants.

I have a business which has 2 roles. We are UK distributor for a brand of products, and we are also a shop selling this brand and other brands.
I'm making a decision about our web presence strategy: from an SEO perspective, is it better to split the 2 entities or keep everything under one roof, as it were...?
Which way would you go? I doubt there is a 'right' answer, but I welcome any thoughts/opinions. Can anyone think of any other factors I should take into account?
So you need to not only sell products in an online store, but also set up an information site for distributors/resellers correct?
If so you could do it either way, both have their pros and cons as you have listed. But both work just as well IMO.
On the other hand some like to set up a brand site which has brand and product information and login access for distributors, but set up a new website to sell products.
Again, IMO both work just as well, it just depends on your plans and main target. In terms of seo though, and if your main target is to sell products, I would go for the first option of keeping it all under one roof simple because its much easier to work with and rank a single site.

SERVPRO of Bath recently held a Continuing Education Class for Realtors on Mold. SERVPRO offers these Continuing Ed classes to both Insurance and Realtor Professionals Free of Charge. Realtors from Roanoke Rapids, Lake Gaston, Virginia and surrounding areas gained knowledge on the contributing factors, dangers and remedies for mold and fungus. SERVPRO Franchise owner and class instructor, Cindy Baldwin emphasized that first it is important to remove the moisture source, make sure the area is completely dry and afterwards a thorough cleaning is in order. She also warned of the importance of wearing a mask that can filter both fine particles and gas as well as other proper protective equipment. She explained the biggest indicator of mold is your nose since mold can grow anywhere there is moisture and leaves a musty, bad smell. Cindy explained there are thousands of kinds of molds and those molds are a part of every environment.
More than a million types of mold exist, yet less than 10 percent have actually been named. This means mold is very common in both indoor and outdoor environments. While mold and humans can sometimes co-exist without issue, there are certain species of mold that can cause health effects for some people.
Since mold growth can occur in any home, watch for situations that promote mold activity.
Roof/chimney leaks, wet basements, or condensation from ducts that dampen surrounding insulation are just a few examples. Wind driven rain is a common source of mold growth around your window. A dark circle appearing on your ceiling especially when a bathroom is above is a cause of concern Check your caulking around all sinks and tubs.
If you suspect mold in your home, call SERVPRO of Bath to assess the situation. We have the knowledge, tools and track record to effectively remediate mold in your home or business.
Turn off the HVAC system and fans in that area if possible.
Call SERVPRO of Bath for a mold problem in your home.
When spring arrives so will the rainy season. Rain can bring the opportunity for mold growth to present itself in your home. Call SERVPRO of Bath at the first sight of any moisture or growth. If you discover mold in your home or office, we are here to help.
Mold and fungal spores occur naturally outdoors, where fungi are the earth's natural recyclers. Indoor, mold needs moisture to grow. Problems occur when trapped moisture, humidity, and dampness are present.
Keeping susceptible areas in your home clean and dryIn the case of leaking pipes or a flood, standing water needs to be taken care of immediately. When materials are wet they should be clean, removed, replaced or dried out. Items that are wet for longer than 48 hours or more may grow mold. If properly remediated, damage will less and costs will be lower.
SERVPRO of Bath will first isolate the area that has mold preventing further contamination within your home or business. Then proper vacuuming will occur with HEPA vacuums and then areas will most likely be removed and apply negative air flow to remove particles from the area.
Turn off the HVAC system and fans in the affected areas if possible.
Do nottouch or disturb the mold.
Do not attempt to dry the area yourself without containing the spread of mold.
Do not spray bleach or other disinfectants that are not approved for the elimination of mold as they usually do not kill the roots or stop the spores from spreading.
SERVPRO of Bath specializes in mold cleanup and restoration, in fact, it's a cornerstone of our business. Our crews are highly trained restoration professionals that use specialized equipment and techniques to properly remediate your mold problem quickly and safely.
Does Your Bath Home Have A Mold Problem?
One of our clients had a mold problem and called us right away. Call SERVPRO of Bath today if you believe you have a mold problem in your home.
When is mold really mold?
We often get calls from folks that think they have mold in their homes, asking us for an estimate to remediate or clean the area. In some cases, it may not necessary, because, what the home owner is actually seeing is either, remains of insects from getting in your home or wear and tear stains.
It looks just like mold but it's not. How can you tell?
Try rubbing the surface with your finger to determine if the spot is hard or soft and dusty. If it's hard, it's probably not mold.... If you are still not certain, give us call for some advice on what to do.
There's no sense spending money if you do not have to...Call us today with any mold questions!
Mold can spread through a home in as little as 48 hours. Finding the source is critical to stop continued growth.
If You See Signs of Mold, Call Us Today – SERVPRO of Bath 252-923-0213.
Recently we worked with a homeowner who lost the sale of his home when the inspector found a large amount of mold in his crawl space. This was caused by the excessive moisture due to improper ventilation.
SERVPRO of Bath was able to remove the mold and correct the rotting wood all within 72 hours from first call. A previous contractor informed him he would have to rip out his floor in the sunken living room space. All that was necessary was to increase ventilation in the crawlspace after clean up and replacement of a joist.
Now our customer can put his house back on the market while we are still in the height of the selling season.
Call SERVPRO of Bath at 252-923-0213 anytime day or night. We are always here to help.

The Resident Season 5 Episode 20: Leela Regrets, Conrad Struggles With A Case In "Fork In The Road"
It looks like The Resident Season 5 Episode 20 will deal with the aftermath of the previous season. Leela will reel over to the fact that Devon is her donor, which might continue to affect her. Meanwhile, Conrad will be close to unearthing the mystery behind his prescription fraud situation.
But things will take a drastic turn when a patient appears. Will it help him? Further, how things will go against Conrad is yet to see. Keep reading to know more.
The Resident Season 5 Episode 20 Preview: What Will Happen Next?
The Resident Season 5 Episode 20, titled "Fork In The Road," will shed some light on fraud prescription. Well, Conrad Hawkins has been trying to reveal who's behind the fraud prescription. He still has to find out who's using his name. However, the deeper he goes, the more problems he will brew for himself since it looks like there is a dangerous gang behind all this mess. Further, the new patient will shed some light on the inner workings of the prescription fraud situation.
Meanwhile, Leela will try to avoid Devon. Now that she knows Devon has donated his sperms, she will feel pretty awkward. So, she will overwork to avoid even the slightest conversation with him. But during this process, she will make many mistakes in her cases. So Padma and Raptor will try to find a way to settle this awkwardness. On the flip side, Bell and Kit will make a bold move about their future together.
The previous episode, titled "All We Have Is Now," was directed by Julie Hebert while Joy Blake wrote it. AJ decides to stay at his mother's side since Carol has been behaving differently.

In an article for Debtwire, Asli Orbay speaks with Burford's Daniel Hall about the rise in non-performing loans (NPLs) in the UAE and the recovery challenges they pose. Mr. Hall describes the problem: "What I see is that Dubai has grown enormously within the last decade and part of the NPL exposure is caused by the situation, or as we say, the 'skip cases'—where a defaulter absconds the country—form a significant part of the overall NPL book in the UAE… From a litigation funding perspective, it is a risky investment opportunity".

It has been a half decade since the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf launched the major manufacturer plug-in car market and as other vehicles have followed more are pending.
The present list of U.S. alternative-energy vehicles covered by HybridCars.com's monthly sales Dashboard reveals 11 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and 12 battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
At the end of last year the count was nine PHEVs, and 13 BEVs. Respective market share presently for PHEVs is 0.24 percent, whereas last year it was 0.34 percent. BEVs are now at 0.41 percent and last year they were 0.39 percent.
Noteworthy also is there are some models no longer for sale like the Honda Fit EV, and new ones like Tesla's Model X and the 2016 Chevy Volt just now coming on the scene.
Before you get depressed over less than scintillating results, bare numbers do not reveal the whole picture for a market brewing with several positive factors.
The Leaf, Volt and others that came after have plowed tough and resistant traditional gas-car mentality ground. The worst of those days may be past as some antagonistic media have calmed down and consumers have gained greater familiarity with the idea of plug-ins.
2016 Volts are rolling. Also looked forward to next year are 2017 models for 39 states next year which are not getting the 2016s.
That speaks to the demand side, even if many are still on the sidelines. As for the supply side, you can thank regulators around the world for holding carmakers' feet to the fire.
Meanwhile the single-most daunting bottleneck – battery costs – appears to have dropped faster than expected, and this could mean more affordable cars sooner than later.
As people also ponder the slow road to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and the long-term prognosis for diesel after the September VW emissions scandal, there may be around a dozen new plug-in cars here in 2016 and this list will focus on half of them.
These six are ones closest to mainstream price or otherwise aiming for mass-market appeal. They may thus make the biggest dent in shifting the paradigm and that is why they matter though all plug-in cars offer some greater or less contribution to the market.
Second in EV range only to the Chevy Volt, Hyundai's plug-in version of its redesigned Sonata Hybrid is due soon and priced from $34,600.
Our local media fleet already has the Sonata PHEV for journalist loans, and we'll be getting one to test mid January. Having already driven it in Southern California, we can tell you its 27-miles EV range is attainable and tops Ford Energi siblings' 19-rated miles nicely.
Credit a larger battery for the midsized front-wheel-drive car that resorts to regular 40 mpg hybrid operation when the battery depletes to a low state of charge.
Power, roominess and comfort are all within the realm of the others in this competitive family sedan class. Of the midsized five-passenger cars out there, this one will have the highest EV range, and that is what it is all about.
Not actual car, but spy photos of the AWD 2017 minivan can be seen here.
Chrysler's plug-in hybrid had been anticipated sooner than 2016 and while it may not get here till fall, and will likely be low volume and on the upper end of the price scale, its biggest significance is it breaks the ice.
No, not "ICE" as in internal combustion engine, though you might say that as well. We mean it dives into the family minivan market where even Toyota and its hybrids such as ones it sells in Japan have feared to tread.
Aside from the $81,200 and up Tesla Model X electric crossover, the minivan market boasts EPA numbers in the lower 20s, but this plug-in hybrid may help push that boundary higher.
If it goads other carmakers to follow, even if it is a tepid first attempt by a maker not known for hybrids or exceptional fleet fuel economy, it will have accomplished something more significant.
Plug-in fans can only hope.
The plug-in version of Toyota's all-new Prius is believed to be on track for 2016.
Unknown is the EV range, an Achilles heel for the outgoing model which ceased production June this year.
SEE ALSO: How Much Electric Range Does The New Toyota Prius Plug-in Need To Be Competitive?
If it's more than 11 miles, and indicators are it could be as high as low 20s, it will add that to a 52-56 mpg car known for reliability, utility, resale value, and could be a real winner if they price it right too.
The new Prius is about as quick as the old one with 0-60 mph maybe around 10 seconds give or take, but road manners have significantly tightened up with the Toyota New Global Architecture chassis and rear double wishbone suspension.
Toyota may also roll out wireless charging for this, though details on this and more are yet to be announced.
Another assumed-to-be hugely important vehicle is the all-wheel-drive true SUV with over 20-some miles range by Mitsubishi.
Mitsubishi's Outlander PHEV has already been the most popular plug-in vehicle in Europe, leads in the top three cumulative best global sellers list without U.S. help, and like the Town & Country, introduces a new segment of vehicle to the plug-in fleet that Americans want.
Mitsubishi says it should have the redesigned vehicle here as soon as April or maybe by this summer.
The company has been on the rocks however, and its U.S. dealer network and market presence are weak. Those reasons contributed to stories that batteries were in short supply, but while there were days Mitsu may have wondered if it would not pull out of the U.S., this product is otherwise solid.
It's part of broader plans the automaker says it will implement to electrify its models, and meanwhile it will represent the first quasi truck-based SUV when other automakers have let that market go by as they offered plug-in cars only.
The Mitsu thus could also along with more-certain regulations help to open up the oyster shell that is the U.S. market to more plug-in trucks.
A sister to the Hyundai Sonata PHEV, the Kia Optima is a plug-in version of its nicely redesigned Optima Hybrid.
With the same 9.8-kwh battery as the Hyundai, it will thus share honors tied at second-highest 27-mile EV range.
Due to go on sale after the second half of 2016 the car is part of a five-year plan with which Kia says by 2020 it aims to become the preeminent maker of hybrids, plug-in hybrids, all-electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Similarly powered with a 2.0-liter hybrid powertrain, and midsized, the roomy Kia will slot in well within the class.
Concept shown at Detroit last January. Spy shots can be seen here.
Will the Bolt be here this time next year? Maybe if hints by GM's North American President Mark Reuss mean what they might.
At any rate, the company says its "200 mile" range EV priced around the upper 30s for a net price just a tick below $30,000 after $7,500 federal tax credit is due next year.
This vehicle's price and specs make it arguably the most significant new plug-in car on the radar. Tesla is expected as soon as March to show what its Model 3 will look like, and Nissan does not have a next-gen Leaf known in the works so soon either.
Rhyming with the Volt, the Bolt addresses range anxiety another way – by giving more than double the range of other EVs in this present price point. Only Tesla's 70-kwh Model S is in this ballpark, and that large luxury performance car is nearly twice the price.
While the Bolt still won't meet the needs of some who demand yet more range, it presents a huge leap forward.
In two weeks at the CES in Las Vegas it will be revealed in pre-production form, just a year after its world debut last year in Detroit.
Plug-in electrification is one way for automakers to improve their fleet mpg and emission scores, and this fact has not been lost on numerous manufacturers.
Among models which may carve a niche into respective segments are plug-in hybrid BMW 3-Series and 7-Series, a Mercedes E-Class, Audi A4 PHEV, and maybe even a VW Passat assuming the diesel emission crisis does not slow plans, said Michigan analyst Alan Baum.
Possible also could be a Nissan eNV200 van, and a long shot might be the plug-in hybrid version of the Cadillac CT6, which is aimed first at China, and expected to get here eventually.
And while the 2016 Ford Fusion Energi is already in place, Ford has said in Detroit in January it will show the next-generation of this plug-in hybrid. Next to nothing is known about the next Fusion Energi including its launch date. The cars that we listed were there because more is known of them, but this is also one to keep an eye out for.
What's more, we might also have just as well mentioned the Tesla Model X which for all intents and purposes won't see the bulk of deliveries start until the new year. That vehicle delayed three times was on our list for 2014 and 2015 and has officially begun production.
It otherwise could prove to be a very important vehicle.

Myanmar is, as BBC Travel describes "uniquely linked with magic", ever alluring to many travelers who want to peel off its isolated, laid-back and somehow chaotic layers. You don't want to miss out these amazing must-sees.
With so many attractions super-imposed on Buddhism, these certain attractions are simply provable for the essence.
The accessibility to foreign travelers makes it possible to be composed of a trip, no matter you are traveling independently or using a private service.
Getting to know Myanmar involves much more than just seeing in naked eyes; all these attractions allow you to be linked with them by experiences.
For such a large country in Myanmar, it's quite a pickle to make the list short. Stunning sights are literally all over the place, pagodas, monasteries, city streets, local markets, villager's houses, lake, mountains and you name it. Time is limited so we only narrow the country's spectaculars down to 20. Select at least 9 that interest you the most and you are good to go!
It goes without a saying as this pagoda is the symbol of Myanmar and a primary venue to witness Burmese' religious practice.
Gatsby's Tip: Visit at sunset and afterwards you can get to a rooftop restaurant nearby to overlook the city under the pagoda's glistering.
The place where General Aung San raised Aung San Suu Kyi, also the same place for her 15-year some home arrest. Stories are to be told.
Gatsby's Tips: Some background learning would bring more insight; we suggest the movie The Lady and the book Freedom from Fear.
Fully restored after 1975's earthquake, the temple is visible from afar and lit up at night. You simply just can cross this beautiful masterpiece off.
Gatsby's Tip: An important festival celebrating the traditional lives of farmers of Bagan will be held here during late December and early January.
The local worship center and the original model of Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, this pagoda is located in the humble village of Nyaung U and good for an afternoon trip.
Gatsby's Tip: Photographers would love to shoot inside the pagoda with candles lit up by novices.
Most locals have been moved to New Bagan and if you want a taste of a traditional Burmese village, Nyuang U is the best bet. Check out the bustling market and Thanaka workshop.
Gatsby's Tip: Ethnic minorities from Bagan and around would dress up for the big market days.
At 0400am, the daily ritual of face-washing begins at Mahamuni Pagoda, introducing you to local monks' daily pratice. Mahamuni Festival is held in early February.
Gatsby's Tips: Female visitors are not allowed to enter the main hall but there is live video chamber.
Every day before lunch time, monks, nuns and novices will gather in line waiting for the locals to distrube their food. Nobody talks, what a scene!
Gatsby's Tips: Lunch time comes at 1000am, so you need to set off before 0800am in order to get a nice spot for watching .
The unique rowing technique is not for everybody to grasp but Inle Lake's fishermen are absolutely masters of balance.
Gatsby's Tip: Fishermen always set out for fishing at the early morning or evening and we will put you on a close-up at their evening fishing.
No riding, no circus tricks and no cages, this elephant camp is devoted to improving elephants' natural habitat by rebuilding the local eco system.
Gatsby's Tip: A less-visited yet quite family-friendly place, it can be reached from Inle Lake on a day trip or included in a multi-day trekking trip.
The Himalaya Mountain Range stretches out to the norther tip of Myanmar in Kachin Region. A trekking trip takes 2 to 3 days and gets you to the least-touched natural terrians.
Gatsby's Tips: It can be reached from Mandalay and foreign travelers must be accompanied. .
Not just for the history buffs, this collective range of colonial-style buildings depicting the past of the country. Walking is the best way.

New qualifications, more advantages and user friendly. Those are keywords that describe the OA-Presence TN, successor of the OA- Presence T, best. Instead of a function switch, a function button is now in place to confirm dipswitch settings; all it takes is a simple press on the button. Because of this adjustment the OA-Presence TN setting and installation procedure is now in line with all our other EN 16005 compliant sensors. Furthermore, this sensor is equipped with two rows that each consist of 12 spots. This permits to broaden the detection area or to densify the detection area, according to the specific situation and site conditions. Next to functional adjustments, the design of the OA-Presence TN is upgraded to match the appearance and size of other sensors in the Optex range. This makes the overall design of sensors appear the same, particularly when mounted to one operator.
The OA-Presence TN will be available from stock in the colors Silver and Black.

Jamaica's new congeniality push: When the Jamaican Parliament approved an act to decriminalize small amounts of "ganja" (marijuana, weed, pot) as it is locally called, many received it with joy. However, it will not change the economy overnight and it is more of a paper statement.
The historic amendments call for a licensing authority to be established to deal with regulating the cultivation and distribution of marijuana for medical, scientific, and or religious purposes. The timing seems fine, as studies have added to the potential benefits to treat:
• Muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis
• Nausea from cancer chemotherapy
• Poor appetite and weight loss caused by chronic illness, such as HIV or nerve pain
• Seizure disorders
• Crohn's disease
The announcement was welcomed by many bloggers. They believed it is now free to pull off the coastlines into local bars, on and off the beach for any amount. Contrary to that mind-set being formed, decriminalization has an uphill battle.
Compliance will be difficult to enforce. Before the law is fully implemented, and the first smoke is cleared, who will become eligible to sell, how it will be regulated, taxed and restricted and in what zones?
The legalization of marijuana can lead to some economic benefits as studies have shown. Quietly, few locals and possible dispensaries business dealers already questioning trust, safety, and price.
Denver, United States 1st January 2014: People lined up to purchase Marijuana from one of the first legalized outlet.
Tomorrow in Jamaica, one will not find long lines such as what occurred in Washington State and Colorado when the sale of marijuana was legalized in December 2012. Underground transactions will not finish and even before one departs the island, and the smell will not be restricted to certain areas.
It will still be easier to light up before departure than clearing customs with an America passport, or any other nationality. Poverty will not be eradicated, and the potential for monopoly will only create more haves vs have-nots.
The new legislation is not going stop criminals from committing other crimes, or decrease accident fatality. One is more likely to die in an automobile accident driving under the influence of alcohol than marijuana.
Ganja has been a topic of significant public debates in the US and other regions. One CBS study showed 80 percent of Americans approve the legalization
Potentially, Jamaica's new law could dismantle some criminal enterprises associated with illegal drug trafficking and gang activities, where the murders rates remain high per-capita. According to several recent reports, in the Americas, Uruguay became the first nation to create a legal marijuana market in 2009. Argentina and Chile moved and decriminalized it later.
The decriminalization, especially for young people who might be arrested for simple possession, would cut a permanent criminal record that could have a long-term negative impact. The British Journal of Psychiatry noted that removing marijuana penalty does not lead to any new consumption. The criminalization of small amount of marijuana, as some argued, especially in the US, has led to an increase in the prison population, especially for minorities.
Did Jamaica just add marijuana to the tourist board in disguise?
It is the revenue stupid: The wave of pot legalization has become a lucrative business in America. Several marijuana products have been manufactured from brownies to body creams. An estimated $3 billion in tax revenue from legal weed across the US alone is reported.
On February 26, 2015, Washington, DC, despite objections from Congress, which has jurisdiction, allowed the decriminalization two ounces for anyone 21 and over, and six home plants allowed. The sale of marijuana is not allowed. The measures was passed in 2014. It is also not allowed in public housing or to be smoked in public. How many plants will be authorized in the hills in Jamaica and throughout the Caribbean?
While some argue the negative impact in the long-run, the argument being sent out of the Jamaican national security department is welcome news: "People must not be fooled that it is a gateway for more trafficking that has always been a problem." However, it falls short, as legalization will not change anything. The drug will still find its way in to the US and other regions, but perhaps now with an approved stamp.
Jamaica seemed to be pushing the scientific benefits:
• What studies led to this change?
• What impact to date has the use and sale of marijuana had on its prison population?
• How many people were affected from simple possession or foreigners being incarcerated for even a pound of ganja?
• How many young people are unable get employment due to a marijuana criminal record?
• What role marijuana has played in the over 1,300 sexual assaults cases reported in 2013 alone?
Certainly, some visitors legally diagnosed with a medical condition and prescribed marijuana for medical purpose will now make sure in combination with their passports to Jamaica a prescription card laminated and attached with all travel documents. It is now an excuse to add an ounce with a Red Stripe Beer order.
This new approach could detour some of Cuba's potential visitors when the US normalizes relations. However, it sets a tone to motivate more young people to start trying out marijuana where the use has been low despite the perception.
Inside the Rastafarian culture that uses ganja for religious reasons, this is welcome news. This legalization will not increase the amount being used. However, liberation for many artistes dated back to late reggae superstar Peter Tosh's 1976 song to legalize it. Moreover, several other songs have been recorded in support for continuous use of marijuana and the legalization. Finally, it has spun in their direction.
The Caribbean is not immune from other hardcore drugs. Tucked away in many hillsides and small districts, on white sands and behind some music shows, other drugs than marijuana have been quietly destroying some individuals' lives. Furthermore, it has penetrated all genres of music, old and new, from reggae, soca, and calypso, rock, pop, and others.
Even before Bob Marley's death in 1981, his name has been associated with ganja. His heirs, who have fought over his licensing on many products that bear his name from shoes and T-shirts, have cashed in on a brand of weed called "Marley Natural"
It will be on the market soon and perhaps on a rack after one has cleared customs. Subversive, not everyone is on board to potential island wide openness. Although anti-drugs advocates have been met with resistance that it is gateway drugs, a study by Yale School of Medicine says it may really be a gateway drug.
The Untold Stories: Despite the Positives: The scientific word is that cannabis has adverse effects. Smoking can alter one's physical and mental health as well as interfere with social and occupational functioning. Often in the Caribbean region(s), when substance abuse is being discussed, it faces rejection, scorned on the surface as taboo. The lack of awareness is such as in the early stage of the AIDS epidemic and the anti-gay sentiments. These issues gained traction when it finally reached home, as close family and loved ones died from the disease.
Beyond the stages and dance halls, famous people's lives have been cut short from substance abuse: Whitney Houston, actor Phillip Hoffman, Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendricks. Even Jamaica's own, the late Gregory Isaacs, had a battle with illegal substances. Some of these artists were exposed to marijuana and later linked to speed, sleeping pills, cocaine, and heroin at some point in their careers.
Equally important, what happens when the names are less well known? If this new law reduces the systematic brutality that is often associated with the drug trade or gang members off the streets and beaches for a safer community then it is a good start.
The Overlooked: The legalization of marijuana could lead to other drugs being legalized. Jamaica and other regions must balance their approach.
More support is needed for people that are often overlooked, addicted to heroin, crack, cocaine, prescription drugs, and homeless due to substance abuse. These drugs are on a rise and dismantling communities. Yes! It is an island issue.
There are plenty of addicts gracing the stages. The only start to rehabilitation is to take personal responsibility. Imagine how many concerts would have been canceled if a drug test screening was required before an artiste performs.
Society has to move from the ideology that, since it is not affecting one's own family, then it is muted. The dealers who sell poor people illegal substances, many still live in the same buildings on the beach, and backstage at major concerts.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse noted that illegal drugs such as heroin, cocaine, in any form, produce the same effects once it reaches the brain. It produces similar physiological and psychological effects, but the onset, intensity, and duration of its effects are related directly to the method of use and how rapidly it enters the brain.
Putting out the Smoke: It was once said that an individual was arrested with five huge bags of marijuana. When the evidence was presented, he pleaded guilty in the parish court, and told the presiding judge that he had five bags originally.
The point is being revisited to highlight how many bags will be reported when it is time for serious accountability on all levels, usage, buy, and revenue, regulation of shops, safety, and potential new addictions.
Jamaica is not Amsterdam: In 1976, the Dutch parliament decriminalized possession of less than 5 grams of cannabis. Many reports have noted that 90 percent of the customers in Amsterdam are foreigners. According to a recent report from the Amsterdam Coffee Shop, Mayor Eberhard van der Laan closed several coffee shops in 2014 believed to be near to schools.
It leads to more speculation about the Netherlands back tracking on its drug policies. Given ongoing reported corruption in the region, this new venture might have more potential problems and not its intended purpose.
As the islands continue to struggle and modernize and re-energize the reparations fight like the Jews who faced atrocities during the Second World War, and now have an organized Jewish Reparation Fund, the region will need scientists, engineers, doctors, teachers, excellent universities, researchers, police officers, and not more weed producers.
The hope is that this new law is not simply a Xerox copy of what is going on elsewhere simply because it is popular. The jury is still out on this one. What next, prostitution?

BEST ANSWER: These bottles use a standard 26.5mm crown cap. In our experience, they are not very compatible with wing cappers, a floor or bench mounted capper is reccommended.
Do you think there will be a problem laying these bottles on the side like you store wine? I only ask because I bought some easy cap bottles off eBay and though all but one held under carbonation, the one I had stout in popped the top completely off, breaking the bottle and throwing beer on floor.
BEST ANSWER: These can be stored on their side no problem. Cheers!
Could these bottles accept corks too?


I've been blogging for HOW LONG?!?!?
I swear I'd lose my head if weren't attach-….HEY!!!!
The Yarn Harlot was just celebrating her most excellent blog's anniversary and it made me curious: how long have I been blogging now?
It's not how you feel, it's how you LOOK….
THAT'S NINE YEARS! I have to go lie down now…..
I've been blogging only 2 years fewer than she has…….how come? Why not me?
oh yeah: she's a WAY better writer – she's been Canada's top blogger of any kind for years!
When I think of why I started; I didn't start this blog to get famous or a livelihood or nuthin'. I did it because my friends Meg & Joe thought it might be fun for me.
I'm tickled that ANYBODY reads this!
Thanks for everybody sticking around at all through this time. Who knows? I might go another nine years….

The Yarn Harlot will have many suggestions throughout December, so click on over there to get the most recent suggestions.
Coming up soon I'll have actual pictures of my knitting! And more yarn crimes fer your horror/enjoyment.

My birthday is December 13th.
I will be 45 years old. Yay!!
If you must do something for my birthday, I ask that you call someone you love but don't talk to often enough, and tell them how much they mean to you.
If you're all caught up with everyone you love and everyone is sick & tired of hearing how much you love them, a donation made to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières, or Habitat for Humanity, or CARE would certainly suffice!
Thank you for reading and caring. Truth be told, "thank you" doesn't begin to COVER it!!!!!

* I promise knit pictures in the next post!
A few days ago (June 4), the Yarn Harlot wrote a wonderful post on her blog about procrastination. You should go and read it. I'll wait….
I am DISTRESSED that you said you hate yourself. I KNOW you were being funny mostly, but it still distresses me because YOU said on your blog a few months ago (and it made you my HERO forever) and I loved it so much that I wrote it out on a pretty piece of paper in my best handwriting and put on my wall in the middle of my DIY loopy wire wreath where I hang most of my beloved collection of earrings, right where I would see it everyday….
Again, I KNOW you were being funny mostly…but that sentence has changed my life. Thank you.
Today is the Yarn Harlot's birthday. In lieu of a gift, I will donate thru her site to Doctors Without Borders, and I will double the amount because June 14th is also the birthday of my dear sister-in-law, Barbara.
I wish you a whole life of having NO time for self loathing.

Biden's New FTC Head Could Make Big Tech Sweat
Home / Бізнес / Biden's New FTC Head Could Make Big Tech Sweat
By ITkupui No Comments Бізнес, Новини, Технології
U.S. President Joe Biden's unexpected decision to name a staunch antitrust advocate to lead the Federal Trade Commission has thrilled supporters of stronger regulation of the tech industry and has prompted predictions of regulatory overreach from representatives of some of the country's largest internet companies.Lina Khan, 32, a professor at Columbia Law School prior to her nomination, is known for advocating a hard-nosed approach to the regulation of large technology firms like Amazon, Facebook, Google and Apple. She was nominated to fill an open seat on the FTC in March, and on Tuesday she was confirmed in a bipartisan 69-28 vote in the Senate.Shortly afterward, the news that she would be not just a commission member but its leader was announced by Minnesota Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar at a Senate hearing.Her confirmation may signal an unexpectedly aggressive stance toward big tech firms from a presidential administration that had not seemed to make reining in the giants of Silicon Valley a major priority.Early run-in with big techKhan was born in London to Pakistani immigrant parents. The family moved to the United States when she was 11 and settled in New York City. Khan went to Williams College in Massachusetts, where she edited the school newspaper and completed her thesis on the political theorist Hannah Arendt.Khan's first run-in with the might of big tech firms came when she was barely out of college and working for the Open Markets Program at the New America Foundation, a left-of-center think tank. The program's focus was on the anti-competitive behavior of big businesses, such as Google, which happened to be a major financial supporter of the New America Foundation.FILE – This March 19, 2018, photo shows a Google app.In 2017, after the Open Markets Program expressed its approval of the European Union's decision to slap Google with a $2.7 billion fine for the way it ranked its own shopping services in internet search results, the company's chief executive reached out to the head of New America to express his displeasure.What happened afterward is disputed by the various parties involved, but within about two months, the Open Markets team was formally separated from the foundation.Going after big tech companiesKhan made a name for herself in the world of antitrust law with a 2017 article in The Yale Law Journal called "Amazon's Anti-Trust Paradox." The piece argued that typical antitrust doctrine in the U.S., which considers "consumer welfare" when determining whether a company is engaging in anti-competitive behavior, is inadequate in today's world. A consumer products giant like Amazon can keep prices low — the biggest determinant of consumer welfare — even as it uses its dominance of a technology platform to disadvantage its competitors.Two years later, Khan followed up with an article in the Columbia Law Review advocating the application of "structural separations" to tech firms. The idea is that a system in which a company operates a platform on which goods and services are sold while simultaneously selling goods and services on that platform creates "a conflict of interest that platforms can exploit to further entrench their dominance, thwart competition and stifle innovation."A prime example, offered in the paper, was Apple's decision to block the popular music streaming service Spotify from its app store at the same time that it was trying to roll out a competing service called Apple Music.House reportKhan went on to help lead a major investigation into competition in digital markets by the majority staff of the House Judiciary Committee, which was issued in October of last year. The report included sweeping proposals for the application of antitrust law to the tech industry — including Khan's favored concept of structural separation — and infuriated advocates for the tech industry.FILE – This combination of photos shows logos for social media platforms Facebook and Twitter.Khan's participation in the House Judiciary report figured strongly in the negative reaction that news of her appointment as FTC chair generated from the industry. NetChoice, a group that represents giant companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter and more, quickly released a statement indicating its dismay with the decision."Lina Khan's antitrust activism detracts from the Federal Trade Commission's reputation as an impartial body that enforces the law in a nondiscriminatory fashion," said Carl Szabo, the group's vice president and general counsel.Khan's work on the House Judiciary report "casts doubt on her ability to fairly and neutrally apply our antitrust laws as they stand today," Szabo said.Cheers from the leftDuring his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, Biden competed against other candidates, like Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, who specifically called on the government to "break up" large technology firms. During the campaign, Biden never went as far as Warren, which made the elevation of Khan to lead the FTC all the more surprising."Lina brings deep knowledge and expertise to this role and will be a fearless champion for consumers," Warren said in a statement Tuesday. "Giant tech companies like Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon deserve the growing scrutiny they are facing, and consolidation is choking off competition across American industries. With Chair Khan at the helm, we have a huge opportunity to make big, structural change by reviving antitrust enforcement and fighting monopolies that threaten our economy, our society and our democracy."Even the New America Foundation — now New America — which separated with Khan and the Open Markets team under questionable circumstances in 2017, applauded her nomination to run the FTC.In a statement Tuesday, Joshua Stager, deputy director of broadband and competition policy at the foundation's Open Technology Institute, called Khan a "proven thought leader who has helped jolt antitrust enforcement out of stagnant 1970s thinking. After years of sluggish enforcement — particularly in digital markets — the FTC needs a fresh perspective. We look forward to working with Commissioner Khan."
