Frazier writes: "It is vital that we as a nation understand the potential benefits and consequences of cannabis legalization.
Most marijuana-related news focuses on how to invest, tax revenue for states, shops and growers. But there's a lot missing from this conversation. How are states legalizing marijuana in ways that protect public health based on facts, science and rational analysis?
As of today, 10 states and Washington, D.C. have legalized recreational marijuana use. More than 30 have legal medical marijuana, and both Canada and Mexico have federal approval of medical and recreational usage. With even more states poised to legalize cannabis, ample questions are being raised about governance and regulation, health effects, scientific research, and public health.
In the United States, where the federal government still officially decrees marijuana to be illegal, the federal government continues to be abdicating its role of leading in a world in which there is no natural centralized body for collecting, analyzing, and sharing information and knowledge learned across states — and from our neighbors to the north and south.
At the 2017 National Cannabis Summit in Denver, attendees felt they could share and ask questions and receive practical, applicable knowledge and experience to bring back to their states. The 2019 Summit is expanding to include the perspectives and lessons learned from Canada and Mexico, and it's being held in California — one of the first states to legalize cannabis and the one furthest in the journey of implementation.
Hearing from academics, researchers, policymakers, implementers and clinicians gives listeners the kind of science-based information they need, whether they are lawmakers, healthcare providers or other researchers seeking their own answers.
This month, the 2019 North American Cannabis Summit in Los Angeles will explore themes of public health, science, and health equity; public safety; prevention and education; emerging research and epidemiological data; governance, federal law, and emerging policy; health effects; and regulatory issues.
Before we go too much further down this road, let's make sure we're paying attention to the collective knowledge we're gaining from the experience of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Let's use what we know and learn to inform the emerging cannabis industry, to keep public health and the needs of communities front and center, and to implement legalization in as measured and replicable a way as possible.

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of Fides Friedeberg. The use of the Internet pages of Fides Friedeberg is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Fides Friedeberg. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, Fides Friedeberg has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website.

This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in on YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, the delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their own YouTube account before a call-up to our website is made.
YouTube's data protection provisions, available at
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/,
provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
This Privacy Policy has been generated by the Privacy Policy Generator of the German Association for Data Protection that was developed in cooperation with Privacy Lawyers from WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE, Cologne.

Why Is Annual Air Conditioning Maintenance Important?
Having annual air conditioning maintenance performed on your system is extremely important for a number of reasons. First of all, it can help to ensure that your air conditioning system doesn't lose efficiency as time goes by. A system that isn't properly maintained can lose as much as 5% of its efficiency annually. But with a proper tune up, your air conditioning system may not even lose that much over the course of 10 years, saving you a good chunk of money along the way.
Also, during their annual visits, professional air conditioning technicians will be able to spot any problem areas or parts that seem to be wearing out too quickly. Attending to these types of issues before they actually manifest themselves in the form of performance problems can save you both time and money.
These minor repairs are much less costly than the larger ones that might be needed if the problem was allowed to persist. Also, because your annual maintenance is scheduled to fit nicely into your schedule, you won't have to take off extra time from work or interrupt your busy schedule like you might if your air conditioning system needed emergency repairs unexpectedly.
How Long Will My New Air Conditioning System Last?
In general, you can expect your new air conditioning system to last between 10 and 15 years. With proper maintenance, they can sometimes last even longer.
How Do I Know if I Should Replace My Air Conditioning System?
There are several instances in which you may want to consider replacing your air conditioning system. For instance, if you've been calling for a lot of repairs recently, then there's a good chance your system is on its last legs.
And even if it isn't and the repairs are relatively minor, you could still probably save money by investing in a new system now rather than paying for repeated repairs. Plus, your new system will likely be so much more energy efficient than your old one, so you'll save money there too.
However, you may also want to look into replacing your air conditioning system even if you haven't been having problems with it. Particularly if your system is 10 years old or more, you can replace it with a newer air conditioning system that is so much more efficient and it will quickly pay for itself in terms of monthly energy savings.
How Do I Know Which Air Conditioner Is the Right Size For My House?
Sizing an air conditioning system for your home can become a pretty complicated process. You need to know what type of space the air conditioner can cool as well as how many vents there will likely be and how the dimensions of the house will affect the overall cooling power of the system. Expert technicians use industry-recognized formulas to calculate exactly what type and size of air conditioning system you need.
Thank you for your thorough diagnosis of my old air conditioning system and presenting me with options for repairing or replacing. The repair has been working great.
Polar Bear Air Conditioning and Heating delivered our multizone renovation project on time, on budget and with high quality results. Thanks men and come back to enjoy a pint sometime.
- G. and T. Irish, Channel Restaurant and Pub, Washington D.C.
Your installers are the best contractors I've had in my home. They were polite and considerate, and so clean I wouldn't have known they were there if I didn't have new vents in my ceiling to prove it.
Proudly serving Washington D.C., Loudoun County and the surrounding Northern Virginia area.
Do You Need AC Repairs?
With summer well on its way, you want to be sure that your air conditioner is equipped to handle any heatwave that comes our way.
Scheduling your air conditioning maintenance now ensures that your system will remain efficient and effective throughout the entire season you rely on it most.
If your furnace is suddenly doing a bad job or acting strangely, we urge you not to ignore it.

Brands Target Pregnant Women With Fitness & Wellness Campaigns
September 28, 2020 Melissa Ledesma
Rising health concerns, the dread of cancelling popular pregnancy milestones celebrations like baby showers and the limitation on the number of visitors in maternity rooms have many pregnant women wanting more care from the brands they support. Overwhelming feelings of uncertainty are driving expecting moms to search for ways to get exercise, stay active and de-stress with comfort and self-care.
From apparel to beauty, major consumer brands, including Every Mother, FitTrack, Nike and The Honest Company, have recently launched new products and campaigns aimed at connecting with the evolving needs and values of expecting moms during COVID-19.
FitTrack Debuts New Intelligent Maternity Scale For Expecting Mothers
In August, health and fitness technology brand FitTrack launched a new product specifically geared toward moms-to-be. Marketing to the needs of pregnant women, FitTrack Beebo is an accurate smart scale designed for expecting mothers to easily track details about their health and bodies during pregnancy. The intelligent FitTrack maternity scale can help women assess aspects of their health journeys from pregnancy to postpartum.
In a press release, FitTrack founder and CEO Jeffery Lee Sawyer, said, "We are thrilled to offer a unique, accurate and truly reliable smart scale that's tailored to pregnant women at a time when their health — and that of their baby — is more important than ever. Beebo is made for moms, by moms, because we want to make sure we're bringing them smart technology they can rely on, through every step of their pregnancy journey and beyond." To promote the new fitness scale designed for pregnant women, FitTrack added more content aimed at expecting moms on its Facebook and Instagram pages.
Nike Markets To Expecting Moms & Furthers Inclusivity Initiative With The Launch Of 'Nike M'
Nike has been diligently working to address the needs of female athletes. Earlier this month, in an effort to expand its inclusivity initiative, Nike announced the launch of its latest product line, Nike M, a collection of products designed for expecting mothers. In a press release, Nike said, "Motherhood should be the start of a new stage — not a stop — in a woman's sport journey." Nike has been working on the Nike M line for three years, during which the footwear juggernaut examined data from more than 150,000 body scans of pregnant women and conducted interviews with 30 pregnant athletes and mothers on their apparel needs pre- and post-partum.
From pregnancy to motherhood, Nike wants to establish lasting relationships with female consumers and maintain brand loyalty through all of their audiences' life stages. Carmen Zolman, Nike Senior Design Director, told ELLE magazine, "We noticed many women hacking their Nike apparel to make it work for them longer throughout their pregnancy.

While the beauty industry often promotes the ideas of perfection and presentation, the beauty industry does not always align with the needs of diverse audiences, including pregnant consumers. The Honest Company and Clarins launched products in 2020 designed specifically to address the needs of expecting moms. In January, Jessica Alba's The Honest Company announced its new collection for pregnant consumers, Honest Mama. Marketing its product line as offering "self care for the bump and beyond," the new Honest Mama collection includes items like bump care kits, body butter, body oil and soaking salts. As with all Honest products, items in the Honest Mama collection are marketed as safe wellness products that provide expecting moms with clear information.
Beauty powerhouse Clarins launched its newest stretch mark cream, Body Parter, in March, highlighting the product's "mom-friendly formula." The Clarins brand site offers a dedicated maternity page focusing on "beauty through every stage of motherhood." From essential pregnancy products to beauty tips for expecting moms, Clarins offers content on topics ranging from stretch marks and unexpected body changes to exhaustion and postpartum skin care.
Every Mother Expands Its App Platform For A Growing Audience
While many gyms and fitness centers were shut down for months in 2020, pregnant consumers sought alternatives, often from fitness apps, to address their workout needs. Founded by personal trainer Leah Keller, Every Mother announced it would be using $1.5 million to expand its fitness streaming platform designed for pre- and post-natal care and wellness. The expansion is expected to help Every Mother keep up with app user demand. While the Every Mother fitness app was already profitable in early 2020, COVID-19 further accelerated its growth. Every Mother saw new registrations to their platform grow by 50% in April. With 37,000 instagram followers, Every Mother consistently connects with its audiences, sharing testimonials, workout tips and premium content, such as live Q&A sessions with fitness experts.
Brands Must Address Evolving Consumer Needs To Retain Expecting Moms Past Pregnancy
The battle for customer loyalty is fierce. As more consumers head online for their shopping needs, it has become even easier to quickly compare product availability, delivery expectations and price from brand to brand and product to product. To maintain customer loyalty, brands need to differentiate themselves and authentically connect with their audiences, even while the behaviors of their audiences may be evolving.
While there are some products that women will only use during pregnancy, marketers have an opportunity to connect with expecting mothers and establish lasting relationships that extend beyond the day the baby is born. Understanding the changing needs of female consumers as they transition into pregnancy and motherhood is essential for brands looking to sustain meaningful connections with key audiences.
COVID-19 has illuminated new concerns which caused many consumers to shift their priorities to reflect a new emphasis on health, wellness and fitness. By addressing the needs of expecting mothers, brands like Nike, FitTrack, Clarins and The Honest Company are positioning themselves for long-term relationships with a larger segment of female consumers.

Q: How to persist open div box using angularjs The code below works very. It can open and close a popup messagebox.
Now I want to ensure that any opened popup box is persisted on page refresh based on its Id.  I guess this is the work of a localstorage.
In jquery, I can do it with the code below.
<!doctype html>

        <title></title>

 Message ....

Refresh Page after you click on persist button

    <input type="button" value="Persist" id="display"/>
   <input type="button" value="close" id="close"/>

In Angularjs, this is the functions i have created but just confused on how to apply it to the existing code below
// Persist any opened message box Div after page refresh using local storage

  $scope.persistDiv = localStorage.getItem($scope.arr);
   $scope.persistIt = function(id) {
    if ($scope.arr[id].popStatus == true) {
      $scope.arr[id].popStatus = false;

// set Local Storage for any open popup box via Id
localStorage.setItem(persistDiv);
    } else {
      $scope.arr[id].popStatus = true;

//remove local storage when a particular popup box is close
localStorage.removeItem(persistDiv);
    }
  }

Here is the Angularjs Code that shows various users popupbox
<!doctype html>

        <title></title>

          {{ret.name}}

    <ng-controller ng-repeat='ret in arr track by $index'>

        <button style="float:right" ng-click="popIt($index)">Close</button>

  $scope.hideUnhideIt = function(id) {
    ($scope.arr[id].hideBox == true) ? $scope.arr[id].hideBox = false: $scope.arr[id].hideBox = true;
    $scope.updateLocalStorage();

Hi, i've built Flappy Bird application with the Build Server and it does not run in Android 2.3. I've never entered the Android API Level, and i wonder to know where is such option. Did you compile it for Android?
all apps built with Felgo are available for Android 2.3+, so it should be possible to run Flappy Bird on your device.
Did you just build the Demo source which comes with Felgo SDK? What exactly is the problem?
Hi Chrisu, yes i just downloaded de source code of the demo and i could build it and run it on Windows. Then, i uploaded the zip of the qml folder to the build server, and i dowloaded de .apk. When i run the application in my phone the screen gets black and it never loads. The only thing that "works" then, is the back button that makes a confirmation message to appear several times and then i must press home button to sitch to another app.
The API level for wich the Build Server compiles the app isn't changeable? What about another options like if i use Google API?
could you maybe try the APK on a different device or on the Android emulator?
Yes the minimum API level is always the same for all Felgo apps, because all Felgo plugins are designed to work on Android 2.3 upwards.
Hi again, i've tested the app on Android 4.1.2, and it runs just fine. I've installed the same apk i tryed before on Android 2.3.6. Could it be a problem in the build server? or maybe it consumes too much RAM or some resources for the cellphone with Android 2.3.6?
I see, it seems to be a problem with your LG phone. It seems rather old, might be a problem with OpenGL or it's graphics processor.
Could you try some of the other Felgo apps like Chicken Outbreak (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vplay.demos.ChickenOutbreak) if they work on this device?
Hi Chrisu, Chicken Outbreak runs just fine. So, do you think is it some limitation of the cellphone?
I've tested other applications similar to "Flappy Bird" and the run.
I'm looking for a framework for making games that could be run in old cellphones with Android 2.3, because they still represent a considerable part of the market. Is it any way of making this game "lighter"?
if the other apps similar to Flappy Bird run on your device, then your custom build should run as well.
Could you try uninstalling some apps on the LG phone, maybe there is not enough space?
You could also try creating a publish build, sign it and test it on your phone, since these builds generally use a bit less resources.
Can you also try to build just a very basic sample project, like the one that Felgo creates when you create a new "Empty Felgo project" in QtCreator and see if that works on your phone?

I've programmed in C++ with Qt the last years, and i see one familliar problem..
In Qt the QAppliation object Must be in the main thread because it has the main loop where all GUI events and related signals are processed.
I hope it helps to figure out the problem, so i can run the app on old android 2.3 phones. They still represent the 20% of the market today!
we ran the Flappy Bird demo and all other sample games successfully on Android 2.3 devices.
Do you get any error in the log that indicates why your app is crashing?
Did you try to run a simple game template (like the Empty Felgo project) on your Android test device yet, if it also crashes?

Drug gangs infiltrated a port in Panama through employees who introduce cocaine into cargo containers bound for Europe, a trafficking scheme that shows how Panama's maritime industry is used to transport large quantities of narcotics across the Atlantic.
Local gangs, in alliance with Colombian traffickers, have become increasingly involved in the protection and illegal transportation of cocaine in cargo ships docked in the port city of Colón, along the northern end of the Panama Canal, La Prensa reported.
The cocaine arrives from Colombia by means of human couriers, who cross the Darien cork, a portion of the jungle that separates Panama and Colombia, with up to 10 kilograms on the back. The gangs of Columbus receive the cocaine and introduce it to the port with the help of employees in collusion with them. These employees, known as "cuadrillas", include security guards at the entrance to the port and stevedores, who hide drugs inside the sheets of cargo containers and in loads of fruit destined for Europe.
According to La Prensa, a port security guard can earn up to US $ 10,000 per shipment.
In 2018, the authorities of Colon arrested 330 people and seized 12 tons of cocaine, according to government figures. Almost half of the cocaine seized was discovered in the port terminals.
The boom in cocaine production in Colombia and the growing appetite for alkaloid in Europe have turned Panama and its huge maritime transport industry into the target of drug traffickers.
The strategic location of Panama has made it an intermediate step for shipments of narcotics from South America. But the volume of cocaine that passes through the country has grown.
Last year, authorities confiscated 73 tons of cocaine, a huge increase from the 11.2 tons captured in 2000, according to the Public Ministry of Panama. And from 2014 to 2017, the amount of cocaine seized went from almost 40 tons to more than 80.
The more than 100 percent increase in cocaine seized in four years can be attributed to better interdiction measures by the authorities, but it is also likely to have to do with record cocaine production in Colombia.
The cargo ships that pass through Panama in the direction of Europe are especially attractive for Colombian traffickers, who seek to gain access to markets other than the United States, where they have lost ground to Mexican criminal groups. The transfer of the drug by the Atlantic is a way in which the Colombian traffickers compensate the loss , because the prices in the streets of Europe are high and the demand of the substance continues in increase.
Panama is not the only country in Latin America whose ports are targeted by traffickers. A remote port on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica has presented a sudden growth in the volume of cocaine discovered in cargoes destined for Europe. And authorities in Brazil have revealed a new traffic route from a disused port to the Netherlands.
The ports of northern Europe have also been inundated with cocaine . The port of Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, and the port of Antwerp, Belgium, registered the seizure of more than 73 tons of cocaine in 2018, an increase of almost 35 percent, in relation to the 54 tons confiscated in both docks in 2017.
Introducing cocaine into a boat with containers filled with fruit may seem like an antiquated smuggling tactic, but for traffickers it remains an effective method, and port employees will always be susceptible to their offers.

Thanks to the generosity of an alumnae/i family, Vassar's All Campus Dining Center has a new name. In a ceremony Oct. 25 in the foyer of the Students' Building, the dining center was officially designated Gordon Commons.
President Elizabeth Bradley offered the college's thanks to Ellen Rubin Gordon '52, her family, and the Cele H. and William B. Rubin Family Fund for their gifts for the recent renovations, which have transformed the dining space into a spacious, open venue featuring good food, much of it from local farms. "We are thankful to Ellen Gordon and the Rubin Family Fund, who have helped us create a warm and healthy place for building community every day," Bradley said.
In addition to the renovations that have already taken place, the donations will enable the college to make additional improvements over the next several months, including a complete renovation of the dishwashing room.

Janelle Kroll
Janelle 'JK' Kroll is as revered a songwriter as she is an honest and emotive vocalist who's best known for providing vocals to house legend Dennis Ferrer's 'Mind Ur Step' on Defected. Since that track's release, Kroll has continued to turn heads and has topped charts on Beatport and Traxsource as well as receiving plenty of support from the likes of BBC Radio 1 and 1xtra. What stands her music apart is its human connection, no doubt in part because of her being from the musical hotbed that is Chicago. Taking cues from r&b and EDM, she has collaborated with house pioneer Vince Watson and B. Howard (who in the past has worked with Lupe Fiasco, Ne-Yo and Missy Elliot).
A regular and comfortable performer on stage, Kroll has played venues like The House Of Blues, The Vic, Uncommon Ground and at classy parties like After Dark in the Modern Wing at the Art Institute of Chicago. Her spectacular performances have earned her plaudits from the American television network The CW who recognise her unique voice and artistic panache. Now based in New York City, new music from Janelle 'JK' Kroll can be heard live in the flesh at Williamsburg's Brooklyn Bowl, the Lower East Side's Pianos, Ella Lounge, BMI's acoustic showcase and many other places, all of which will allow you to get lost in her organic sounds and very human emotions.

Canada Flunks Climate Test with 'Policy Full of Loopholes' for Assessing New Projects

Canada's new impact assessment rules for power plants, pipelines, and other major infrastructure fall far short of the climate test environmental organizations have been calling for, and only require a path to net-zero emissions for projects that will still be in operation in 2050, under a new federal framework unveiled last week.
"The government has just made it harder for Canada to get on the right pathway to reach our target of becoming net-neutral by 2050," Julia Levin, climate and energy program manager at Toronto-based Environmental Defence, said in a release. "It is inconsistent to commit to a green recovery and serious climate action while simultaneously failing to put in place a mechanism to ensure that only projects that are consistent with those goals are built."
She added that "when it comes to addressing the climate emergency—especially when we're not on track to meet our targets—we need to be using every tool in the toolbox."
Environment and Climate Change Minister Jonathan Wilkinson maintained the new rules, to be brought forward under the federal Impact Assessment Act, "will ensure Canada's goal to exceed its Paris climate agreement targets by 2030 and then hit net zero by 2050," The Canadian Press reports, in a dispatch published by the Globe and Mail.
"We made a commitment in 2015, and implemented in the last mandate, of better rules for assessing large projects," Wilkinson said. "Today what we're doing is providing clarity to project proponents."
When it was adopted in the months before the 2019 federal election, the Impact Assessment Act included a first-ever requirement for regulators to consider new projects' climate impacts, CP explains, and "the report released Thursday outlines how that will happen. It requires project proposals to include the greenhouse gas emissions to be produced from construction and operations and what efforts are being made to minimize emissions."
It also calls for a net-zero plan for projects that will continue through mid-century. But while that expectation "will be one of the enforceable conditions put on a project if it is approved," CP says, "there are no details about how such a plan would be measured or enforced."
Levin said the new rules contain no requirement for projects to align with the country's 2030 climate goals. And by limiting the net-zero provision to projects that will operate after 2050, they open the door for a project like a coal plant to emit carbon pollution for 25 years with no plan to reduce them.
"She also noted that there is nothing requiring an assessment of the emissions that will be produced downstream—like when oil in a new oil sands mine is refined and burned to drive cars, or when coal is burned to make electricity," CP says.
"This is not a climate test," Levin declared. In its release, Environmental Defence said a true test would ensure that new infrastructure is compatible with a low-carbon future, discourage investment in projects that will become stranded assets as the world decarbonizes, provide clear, accountable climate guidelines for companies, communities, review panels, and the public, and account for significant downstream impacts of fossil projects.
"The point of conducting thorough environmental assessments is to ensure we have the best information available to make decisions that are good for people in Canada," Levin said. "Instead, the government has created a policy full of loopholes that polluters can exploit. How can we make responsible decisions as a country if we're not even willing to ensure we have all the right information?"

When put this way, it just screams of a set of policies that's intended to look good and placate the public rather than actually impact the change that's needed

I'm sure Canada will close the many loop holes. They have been a climate leader for a long time. It seems like the normal way of thinking and living for Canadians. Many of my relatives are in Canada and I used to go there every summer for years. If only the winters were not so cold I would be living there today.
It seems like a big correction would be to remove the 2050 date for any project to still be in production. It should be for any power projects no matter what the time frame. With a few changes they can stop the loop holes and I am sure they will do that soon.

Does anyone know if Southwark Council will be collecting Christmas trees this year and if so, when? I can't find any up to date info on their website.
The regular refuse collection guys collected ours with the rest of the household waste.
You mean you threw yours out before Twelfth Night, Gavin? That's bad luck for the rest of the year, then.
Aw John, you've gone and jinxed me! I am the superstitious type!
I was in the process of trying to remove 2 large Christmas trees jammed into 2 of our bins when the refuse collectors arrived. One guy told me they wouldn't take the trees, another said they would. I left them to it, resigned to clearing up whatever they left. They compromised by taking one and leaving the other on the pavement, which has now also disappeared, I know not how. Guess their previous owners can also look forward to a year of bad luck.
If you have a garden waste collection service, real Christmas trees will be collected, just place the tree next to your brown bin. Please remember to remove the pot and all decorations.
If you don't have a garden waste collection service, several collection points will be provided across the borough in January, for you to take your tree to.
If you are unable to take your tree to any of the collection sites call us on 020 7525 2000 to arrange an unscheduled garden waste collection"
Thanks eW. Sadly, from experience most of our residents would not bother to look up that advice in the first place, let alone act on it. Any more than they can be bothered to find out how to dispose of other trash in a responsible way, so furniture, dead vacuums, nappies, food waste gets dumped in the recycling bin, and the unwanted mattresses they can't cram into that get piled into the euro bins. Such fun.
You're welcome :) Please note that as far as the Christmas tree collection they can not give you a date (hence "unscheduled"), as they do with bulk collections, so they will collect the tree at some point within a 10-day timeframe. Apart from that, I think the bulk collection service is brilliant, I have used it quite a few times, it is a very efficient way to get rid of your old stuff responsibly and I really don't understand why some people decide to just dump their stuff.

It is, but even putting up notices giving residents info about such a service is a waste of time. Fact is, it's easier to make it someone else's problem, and a thing of wonder when a pile of unwanted household stuff materialises in the bin room, usually during the hours of darkness. I'm not generally given to trawling through our bins but occasionally, I have taken to placing usable stuff on the pavement in the hope that someone passing by will find it useful or saleable. It disappears pretty quickly, if it's not picked up by Southwark's vans, but I'll get done for fly tipping if I'm not careful. We should have pavement 'flea market' days as they do in Germany, where their recycling laws make our councils look like a bunch of amateurs.

I really like the steep face of Mount Olstind in Lofoten. The hard granite walls in Lofoten really reminded me of back home in Fiordland. The very low lying sun was able to make a brief appearance, just long enough to create this magic moment.


My husband and I were married in a private ceremony. Later we hosted a gallery show of art objects we'd made for each other over the course of our relationship. Our stationery suite for this celebration consisted of a zine, which served as a guide to the event, as well as a save the date, invitation, RSVP card, thank you note, and takeaway gift set of four prints. Additionally, an enlarged, colorized version of the invitation was displayed as part of our exhibition. The takeaway and the colorized invitation were digitally printed, and the remaining components of the suite were made with a Risograph machine. The patterns referenced among the suite are composed of objects that represented the event and our relationship: music, food, our many plants, the beer that my husband brewed for our guests, the large collection of tiny love notes and envelopes he crafted for me, which we strung up as a garland over the gallery space, the email that started our correspondence, which was the foundation of our friendship, and the projection screen on which he presented all of the reasons why I should marry him, when he proposed using Keynote.

- Put me down where I can see
the Bong of Doom and Christmas -
Cult Of Luna & Julie Christmas
If you've read my Roadburn reports from previous years you probably know that I seldom come directly to the point (being the freaking festival itself), but first have to bore you with what I did during the rest of day.
At least this time I changed things up a little bit and didn't stay in Oisterwijk as every Roadburn before for the first time, but north of Tilburg in Loon op Zand, an arm's length away from the national park Loonse and Drunense Dunes. Which is hell of a doom-ish name, by the way.
Good morning, Loon op Zand!
So as usual I brought some film cameras with mostly risky, long expired films with me (which are testing the nerves and patience of the laboratory right now) and took a little post-breakfast trip right into the heart of the desert.
Yes, you're reading right. Even though a good percentage of the park is covered with forest and heather landscapes, there is actually an areal of pure sand and minimal vegetation which actually counts as desert. Of course it's not a convincing Sahara stand-in, as there are way to many footprints, a green horizon on every side and that part where dogs are allowed to run without a leash. (And some dudes appearanty seem to bring their asshole dogs.)
It is impressive nonetheless and the almost ridiculously sunny weather of the whole week felt even hotter there. In case you're planning on sleeping outside of Tilburg next year and want to do a little "Dopesmoker" tribute photoshoot, I can highly recommend this place. The soft sand is a nice vacation for festival-weary feet also. And as we are in the Netherlands you logically also have the possibility to camp right outside the national park.
Here are some pictures I took with my Digital Harinezumi 3.0 (that funny little turquoise toy camera by which many fellow Roadburners probably recognize me the most by now, as it also produces all the weird trashy live photographs in my concert reviews):
But now back to Tilburg city where Roadburn 2018 officially started and my first steps after lunch carried me to one of the two new venues of the festival.
No, not that church! That's a little too far way from the action. A shame really, I could imagine some nice occult gatherings there.
The real new venues already seemed to be far away compared to the super short distances Roadburn has spoiled us with in the past. But in reality - and if you take the suggested shortest route -, the Koepelhal and right next to it the Hall of Fame are just five +/- two minutes away from the 013 and Het Patronaat (depending on walking speed, traffic light situation and pedestrian concentration).
The Hall of Fame is a small club with very similar stage and room proportions to the Ekstase, which is no longer participating. There's also an indoor skate park inside the same building which would see several announced and surprise free shows (also for non-Roadburn visitors) during the weekend, where bands were playing while skaters would do their thing. Would have loved to see one of those, but my schedule didn't allow it.
Right now I was aiming for the Koepelhal, which is a huge fair hall, a venue so big that only half of it would be used as a concert location on Friday and Saturday. The other half was open on all days and hosted an exhibition of Roadburn-related artists (which are quite a lot by now) and the merch sale for the festival.
So is it a good or a bad novelty? Well, mostly it was an improvement, especially as last year's solution was very unsatisfying. But things could still be better.
The coordination of merch purchases can be hard on festivals anyway. Some bands come late, others leave early and so does their stuff. And at least my personal time windows for shopping were few and narrow. And I don't want to carry my vinyl or whatever around the whole day. Now there is the merch storage directly in the same hall, but it doesn't really help when it closes significantly earlier than the shows go on and you can't store anything overnight, but have to pick it up before.
So I bought my mandatory Bell Witch "Live At Roadburn 2015" LP (this year's special Roadburn release) and one of the festival shirts and took a look at my schedule and the merch store closing time... and stored those items in my car, which meant to ditch the chance for a good place at the Sannhet show which kicked off the festival in the Green Room.
Since I had only planned to see a couple of songs anyway I went right to the front of the main stage now and waited for not only my first show of this Roadburn edition, but also the first show to completely blow my mind.
Waste Of Space Orchestra
What is the Waste Of Space Orchestra?
It is what happens when you ask two outstanding and innovative extrem metal bands with an almost legendary status as live acts to compose and perform an exclusive commissioned set together just for your little greatest festival in the world.
Thus Oranssi Pazuzu and Dark Buddha Rising united their forces, came on stage with at first nine people and played a gigantic, overwhelming piece in ten movements. It had all the shamanistic, hypnotic grooves both groups pull off so good and doubled on the layers of atmospheric blackness.
After half of the set the main vocalist joined, who seemed to take his inspiration from Black Metal and King Diamond as well as Diamanda Galas. Later all singers did this spooky almost-throat singing thing which took the intensity of this performance to a whole new level.
What the Waste Of Space Orchestra celebrated here was a glorious, majestic, evil monster. Fuck, most promoters would shit their pants to raise the bar so high with the first main stage act. Insane!
Khemmis
There was a slight overlapping and a line outside Het Patronaat, but I still got to see about two thirds of Khemmis' first european show ever. I love the two albums of the doom metal quartet from Denver, so there was no question for me to be there.
Even though they have a very sludgy guitar tone and incorporate growls into their songs, they were without a doubt the closest to traditional epic doom I saw this weekend. In parts they are very similar to Pallbearer, especially due to the amazing clear vocals of Phil Pendergast. All in all I prefer the slightly rougher, but with the strong Iron Maiden twin lead guitar influence still very melodic sound of Khemmis. They pulled off their material perfectly and you could already tell from afar how happy the guys were to play in this church of doom.
So there's absolutely nothing bad to say about their show. Yet admittedly it didn't have the full impact I had hoped for. But that was totally not their fault. Only after that massive Waste Of Space experience, a straight forward rocking doom metal band seemed almost a little too normal and not advantgarde enough.
Sum Of R
My next stop was in the Cul de Sac. While the duo Sum Of R set up their gear, which was one bass guitar running through multiple amplifiers, a transparent drumkit and some electronics, I was talking to another Roadburner about my Zaum experience on this stage last year.
And then the meditative instrumental doom of Sum Of R indeed wasn't droning that far from my reference. It had stronger post rock and soundtrack vibes than groups as Zaum or Bong, but if you are into those bands it's highly likely, that these two guys are also something for you. Flawless performance.
Afterwards I needed to get out of the extremely warm venue for a moment. The weather really was ridiculously good, as if there was an open air festival going on.
Two vital hydration tips from me: Always have a small plastic bottle of water with you! The venues don't mind, they make enough money with beer sales anyway. And if you have the time a short walk to the next super market to buy something to drink for the quarter of the price you pay in plastic tokens doesn't hurt your wallet either.
Insect Ark
I returned to the small club stage again for one of my most anticipated shows of the day. "Marrow Hymns" is easily one of my absolute favorite albums of this year so far, so as there luckily were no major clashes for me at this time in the early evening, attending the Insect Ark show was as mandatory as it gets at Roadburn.
With a similar constellation of two players at the front of the stage - but adding a lap steel guitar to the bass - they were purposely placed after Sum Of R so they should share some equipment. Still there seemed to be some obstacles during soundcheck, so the duet managed to start just in time.
The dependency on multitasking and tricks like looping the lap steel guitar and the small quirks arising from it was what kept their compositions from reaching their full album quality close to the likes of Earth and Swans. But that being said the bar is set very high here, so this was still was a totally great show. And how drummer Ashley Spungin's smiled her way through that gloomy set was one of the most charming things of the whole weekend.
Roadburn newbies also could learn a lesson about the audience here as after one applause the anticipating crowd got so quiet that Dana Schechter asked if we were still having fun and someone just answered "We're being respectful."
After Insect Ark I admittedly wasted some time by being too indecisive.
The dark synth goth rock (?) of Kælan Mikla was circled on my running order and would have been my first show in the Hall Of Fame. I even went there to take a look, but before the band started I already left in favor of getting a good spot at the following Main Stage show. Grabbing some fries to eat on the way over took way longer than the term "fast food" suggests, so in retrospect I think that the time walking from A to B and waiting for the deep-frying fat to boil would have been better spent in the Green Room watching the saxophone jazz metal of Ex Eye.
But what does all this matter against the privilige of witnessing the last of those very rare "Mariner" shows?
Cult Of Luna and the unparalleled Julie Christmas, who I already had on my Roadburn wish lists before I even knew the swedish post metal super power, playing their joint album; what can I even say about this? Just like the Waste Of Space Orchestra performance it was one of those occasions the Main Stage works best for: a larger than life event.
Do I need to talk you through the album, which I love even more recently than when it came out or when I wrote my "best of 2016" list? Seeing these monumental songs come to life was just bliss - and in case of the somber Christmas-less "Approaching Transition" made me appreciate the piece even more than before.
And of course I have to single out that "Put me down where I can see you run!" part in "The Wreck Of S.S.Needle"! One of the two biggest goosebumps moments of the whole festival for me.
After a performance like this it's time to contemplate and collect your senses.
Or you just walk straight into the Green Room, into the first part of...
*drum roll*
FUTURE OCCULTISM:
Annoying things first, but I have to start with some criticism here.
So the idea was to make the shows of three conceptually somehow strangely intermingled bands (Bong-Ra, Servants Of The Apocalyptic Goat Rave and Phurpa) seem like one big mystic thingy. So during the breaks there was still ominous music playing, the show wouldn't really fully stop.
Well, this didn't work. Especially the second break before Phurpa was painfully long. I had rather prefered it if the three sets would have been announced seperately with clear times on the running order - and if it only was to plan something different with my time for the middle part I wasn't that excited about.
Or - and that would have been the ideal solution - just take a longer break before this whole triptykon, put the equipment for everything on stage and then pull it off with really quick breaks!
Since Bong-Ra had their drums in the front, Servants were only playing two guitars and Phurpa exclusively occupied the back half of the stage, this could have been pulled off so easily with the professionals working at the 013.
Bong-Ra
And now finally to... yet another little detour.
I've seen Bong-Ra before last year, but until very recently I wasn't even aware of that.
Back then the "band" was indeed a breakbeat/noise/rave solo project and opened for the mighty Dillinger Escape Plan on their last ever stop in Hamburg. There was no announcement of the support act. And I also didn't recognize the man, Jason Köhnen, even though I'm a fan of some of his other work with The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Ensemble, the Köhnen Pandi Duo or now especially The Thing With Five Eyes.
But on this night we saw a re-invented Bong-Ra. As a heavy-as-shit bass and drums (plus lots of samples) doom duo they were the third band in this constellation after Sum Of R and Insect Ark, which I both admittedly liked a little bit more, probably because I had watched their shows from the beginning and in a more intimate venue.
Especially through all the arabic / egyptian style samples you could hear the influence of Köhnen's other projects on this new Bong-Ra sound, which made me wonder why he didn't present a live version of The absolutely fabulous Thing With Five Eyes, which would have been an absolute highlight for me.
On the other hand this already was very good impressive stuff and I shouldn't get so spoiled and nitpicky after this colossus of a festival Thursday, haha.
Servants Of The Apocalyptic Goat Rave
After Bong-Ra Jason Köhnen stayed on stage, switching from bass to six string guitar.
I wouldn't even be surprised if the second guitar player was the same guy that played the drums moments before, but he was hooded and on the far away side of the stage, so I don't know about that.
What I know is that the in-your-face electro black metal of the Servants Of The Apocalyptic Goat Rave, even though it's meant to be provocative, was just a tad too dull for my taste. Yeah, they were trying to make some kind of point there, but nope. Not my favorite Köhnen band by far.
Phurpa
Phuture Doom, another Svart Lava label artist (I assume also with some Köhnen participation) had to cancel this show shortly before the festival, but the surrogate was really something else.
Phurpa were three mysteriously clad figures sitting in the back of the stage, celebrating some strange Tibetan or whatever ritual, using mainly their voices and sometimes primitive wind instruments including a seashell horn. And I kid you not - besides one big brave moment on Sunday their throat singing might have been the droniest experience I had the whole weekend.
Totally weird, astonishing, exceptional. I couldn't make it through the whole extensive meditative experience, because I was a little exhausted from this long festival (and desert exploration) day.
And all this was just the fucking Thursday! At this point the imagination alone that there were still three full days of Roadburn extravaganza to come was almost too much to comprehend for my little earthling mind.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY:
Cult Of Luna & Julie Christmas and the Waste Of Space Orchestra both delivered once-in-a-lifetime shows that will go down in Roadburn lore.
Phurpa for being one of the boldest and most outlandish Roadburn groups ever.
The Insect Ark and Sum Of R shows follow in a close tie.
MOST PAINFULLY MISSED:
I would have loved to see the solo show of Toby Driver, who I've met before with his travelling case at the traffic lights. But there was no chance against the Orchestra. At least I got his latest album, which had been on my wishlist for a while, from the merch later.
Hooded Menace out-clashed by Julie Christmas also was a pity.

Go to any metropolitan city in the world right now and you will see them, building and fortifying infrastructures that tower towards the sky. Construction workers are an essential part of any city and it is through them that establishments and homes are possible. However, it is quite a dirty job – which is to say that it requires a lot of hands-on work that requires strength, resilience, and a determination.
In the ancient days, slaves were mistreated and were made to build monuments upon monuments to kings and pharaohs. The modern era has abolished these thoughts and these workers who sacrifice so much to build structures that protect and last for generations to come are now protected by certain rights and privileges for their services.
There are many hazards to the job as, according to the website of Hach and Rose, construction workers are more prone to file for accidents that require workers compensation such as slip and fall accidents, exposure to dangerous chemicals, wrongful death, et cetera. These workers specialize in what they do and must be quite learned before they go into the field of construction and so when something goes wrong due to something that was not in their intention and despite their best efforts to be careful, there are certain aspects of the job that cannot be controlled – such as the negligence of a certain, legally liable guilty party.
These compensation packages are designed to care for their employees in the event of an accident that requires medical attention. For a corporation or an insurance provider to withhold these rights is against the law and the injured individual, or whosoever may represent the individual, needs to fight for their right for rightful compensation.
If you or someone you know has been injured due to a construction accident, it is imperative that professional legal aid is sought at once.
