Western Civilization
Like you, we are deeply troubled by the growing cultural division within America. Discussions today quickly become heated, emotional yelling matches that drive people further apart. Many of us even fear making our opinions known, lest we be ostracized, threatened, fired, or even physically assaulted.
How did the land of the free and home of the brave come to this? We believe there are two significant factors: the breakdown of the education system and the collapse of the key social structures of family, community, and faith.
Decades ago, parents could count on local schools to ensure students would be historically and culturally literate. No more. Meanwhile, the ongoing collapse of community, family, and faith leaves a large and growing number of Americans feeling lost, lonely, and adrift.
These changes, combined with the isolating effect of online culture, have created a perfect environment for propagandists to work, preying upon emotions to drive political agendas.
Every day the staff of Intellectual Takeout come to work eager to do their part to restore and improve our great nation. We interact with millions of Americans each week, publishing numerous articles each day and promoting them through vast social media and email networks. Additionally we host events, provide commentary for traditional media shows, and give speeches to groups of all sizes.
Through it all, we have seen a great thirst for the work we do. As Eleanor, a reader, told us:
"Reading the posts from you all every day is as refreshing as water to a desert traveler."
This is why we exist: To serve as a refuge for those who want to pursue truth, rediscover the wisdom and traditions of the past, discuss ideas calmly, and apply what's been learned to their own lives and communities.
Intellectual Takeout is a commentary site that publishes original opinion pieces and republishes opinion pieces from other sources. We often feature opposing points of view and the opinions we publish do not necessarily represent the views of Intellectual Takeout's staff or parent organization. When we occasionally report breaking news, we label those articles with a graphic tag to distinguish them from our site's regular opinion commentary.
Through our site and social media presence, we aim to provide a "refuge for rational discourse," where people of differing viewpoints can engage each other in the pursuit of truth. As such, we strive to provide accurate information. We encourage our readers to notify our editors of anything we publish that is factually incorrect, at this address. We will promptly and publicly issue corrections to articles when we discover errors of fact.
We draw a clear line between our editorial decisions and our donors and board members. The decisions our editors make are not influenced by donors or board members. While donors often direct where their financial support goes (such as to internship programs or public lectures), they do not interfere with the writing and publishing of our content.

Intellectual Takeout's penchant for sensible, rational discourse has been recognized in a variety of media outlets. Scroll below for a sampling:
"Today's headlines suggest that many are increasingly worried about the fertility decline. If we are to fix this, do we need more young women with motherly desires and tendencies like Miss Temple? And in order to gain those young women, do we first need to convince them that motherhood is a worthy and noble vocation, not eclipsed by one rewarded by paycheck and prestige?" – Annie Holmquist in "Birth Dearth: It's Here and It's Real," The Epoch Times
"One has to wonder how much genius and creativity today's population is denying itself by its lack of reading. By avoiding reading, do we push ourselves into a state of mindlessness, unable to think, reason, and create in ways which sustain a future, flourishing society?" – Annie Holmquist in "Summertime for Kids Should Include A Book…This Book," New Boston Post

That feeling you get when you discover an app you love!
But how do most people find apps?
We decided to survey the FitMenCook app audience to find the answer.
From the 1,301 responses we received, we discovered that around 65% of people discovered FitMenCook through the website and social media channels. Instagram was by far the biggest driver of downloads, which isn't a surprise given Kevin's 1 million fans.
Interestingly, getting featured by Apple was our second biggest driver of downloads and this was before we won an App of the Year award, so this number has most certainly increased in recent months.
Product Hunt was another interesting channel, where we received hundreds of upvotes from users excited to be presented with an easy way to prepare delicious, healthy meals in bulk. Something that would of course appeal to a busy tech crowd, with little time on their hands.
What we've found is that Twitter and Facebook continue to be highly underperforming channels. Peoples twitter feeds tend to be too busy or they don't check in regularly enough to be reached. With Facebook throttling the number of fans that view each message, it's become harder to reach the audience you've built up. The only way to extend the reach is through either very viral content or by spending on advertising.

Past "Aspects"
Lives Lived: Person and Place in Newfoundland Biographical Writing
Jeff Webb, Vicki Hallett, and Patrick Mannion
A panel in partnership with the Dictionary of Canadian Biography
The Panelists:
Jeff Webb (Department of History) "Rethinking the Individual: Biographies of Collaborative Circles"
and Vicki Hallett (Department of Gender Studies) "Life Narrative, People, and Place: Why I Didn't Write a Biography of a Newfoundland Poet."
Patrick Mannion, chair.
In partnership with the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, the Newfoundland Historical Society presents "Lives Lived: Person and Place in Newfoundland Biographical Writing": a panel discussion on biography in Newfoundland and Labrador. Examining the past through the prism of the individual provides us with a unique perspective on our history and culture. Biography, though, is a tremendously varied sub-genre of historical writing, bringing together historians, literary scholars, folklorists, geographers, anthropologists, and others. How has biography contributed to our understanding of Newfoundland's history? What are some of the key features that define biographical research? What sort of challenges does a focus on the individual present to the researcher, and how do interpretations of person and place contribute to our overall understanding of our past?

Aren't they easy to break into?
Bad man, you know wot I mean!
When discussing PPE, which includes different types of helmets available, I could see the emotion welling up, I nearly asked, you miss it, don't you.
Out of interest , why is electric welders favoured over gas ?
A lot of the time it's down to Mig welding being easier to master for the average hobby welder AND less cost in terms of bottle rental charges and keeping hoses etc in good order for a welding set that is often sat there doing nothing.
Gas does have its advantages BUT for most hobby welding a mig set will do most jobs.
For many folks Oxy-Acetylene gas is not an option for H&S reasons.Eg, acetylene being so volatile and say you had a set at home and something went wrong, your home or garage in rear garden would not insured, in fact, if you are not a business, you won't legally be able to hire the cylinders.
I get mine filled in bandit country wink wink.
97 sprinter ex police riot van.
I got my MIG welder from machine mart about 30 years ago which is still going strong.
I've used it to weld farm machinery, small snow ploughs, gates etc.
Also have an old 1960's triangle minx stick welder that is very easy to use due to the size of the solid copper wound coils, it does trip the rcd's when trying to start up but gets there in the end.
Bought an inverter welder from Inverter Fusion a couple of years ago which though it's expensive, is the best I've ever used!
It can do TIG as well as ARC.
I recommend a trip to machine mart! for hobby welding their stuff is ok.

Learning to dance, where one step forward & two steps back is progress!
Iveco daily mwb high top panel van..
i started out with a 140 amp stick welder.... used to take the cover off when using 3.25 rods , it lasted longer before the thermal cut out went. when it died about 30 years ago i got a 180 amp fan cooled jobbie..... bl.dy fan went last week.
the 180 amp one runs off a 13 amp plug if you stick to no larger than 3.25 rods. ill run on a 30 yard 2.5mm extension lead if necessary. got 30 amp fuse wire fitted, at some point i made up a set of larger diameter welding leads long enough to weld at arms length overhead with the welder sat on the floor.
as im getting old and feeble the welder now lives in a wheelbarrow , along with the 9 inch grinder with a cutting disc and 3 4.5 inch grinders, ( cutting, grinding and wire brush).
This is the point I was making about the inverter machines are a fraction of the weight, handy if you carry them around.
Of course using a long extension lead will reduce the power consumption, I always plug mine into the electric cooker point socket because that's fed with 6mm cable.


... most emphatically NOT the same as the Old Boss.
Alison Redford is the newly-elected Leader of the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta. As a sitting MLA, when Redford takes the reigns of the Party upon Ed Stelmach's formal resignation in the next few days, she will become the 14th Premier of the Province of Alberta. The first of those 14 to be female, red-headed, or a meat-itarian. Guess which of those 3 "firsts" is receiving the most attention today?
Alison has a lot of work ahead of her as the transition period begins. And, let's not forget, she's still got some mourning and healing to do over her recent very personal loss. So we may have from a few days to a couple of weeks to wait before we start to see whole-scale change on a level that would satisfy the poor, (metaphorically)ink-stained wretches of the 5th Estate (and their silly blogger cousins, who do this all for free).
I wanted to talk a bit about the process used to select the new leader last night, look at what happens now going forward, and then run over some numbers with you today. Tomorrow I'm taking a "personal day", and I'd suggest you do the same (just not for the same reasons I am).
The PC Leadership selection process is how it is so that no one can ever be elected Leader of the Party without the support of at least half of the voting membership. I've heard it suggested numerous times this week that a better idea would be to hold a third vote, rather than allowing anyone to get stuck with the "second choice" stigma - and I certainly appreciate the logic. However, the problem with having just 2 people square off for a week or 2 in the campaign to win a Third Ballot is that you end up with an EXTREMELY divided party membership afterwards. Even moreso than 2006. Remember the last time this "head-to-head" scenario happened was 1992 - and the 2 final candidates (and their respective supporters) hated each other so much by the end that the loser left the party and became Leader of the Opposition.
Why the HELL did it take so long to get the results?!?
There are a lot of places in which the system can log-jam. Anyone who's been on Glenmore Trail during rush-hour knows, it just takes one collision to plug up the entire roadway for everyone, no matter how well the rest of them drive.
At the Local Constituency Poll, the ballots are counted by hand. A volunteer must, in the presence of witnesses and scrutineers from the campaigns, pull out each ballot one at a time, read the vote aloud, and present it so that all can see the vote is marked appropriately for the candidate they indicated. At any point, a scrutineer can challenge the validity of a ballot. The judgement rests with the Deputy Returning Officer, a local volunteer who has the final say. After every vote is counted and the totals announced, scrutineers can ask for a recount. If the total number of votes counted doesn't equal the number of ballots given out at that polling station, a recount can take place. If the total number of votes cast doesn't match the number of voting cards presented, a recount can take place. And even if everything goes off without a hitch, you're still counting hundreds of ballots, one at a time. Having many volunteers does NOT make it any faster - it's one ballot at a time, in front of everyone, until you run out, and then hopefully your numbers add up. The polling station I was working at rejected a very small number of ballots, there was no recount required, the turn-out was less than 1,000 voters, and it STILL took almost an hour and 45 minutes to get to the point where we could call in our results to the party office. And that was with an experienced DRO, an experienced Assistant DRO, and an Accountant in the room.
AFTER the vote totals get called into Party HQ, they need to be confirmed. The Party goes over the numbers of ballots handed out, cast, spoiled, recorded... they want to make sure that no constituency has made a simple math error that results in the nightmare scenario of a candidate giving a concession speech only to find out 4 days later that the DRO in Leduc forgot to carry the "4", and the candidate who conceded actually won. If they can't make the numbers work - or if the DRO needs help - the Party needs to get ahold of someone in the field and have them physically go to the polling station to assist. Not a big deal in the city, but in some of the larger, rural ridings you're talking about a 45-minute drive just to GET there. At which point, you might need to do a re-count to figure out the discrepancy.
Is it time-consuming? OH, yes.
But it's democracy, on the "pay to get into our private club and you can vote for stuff" level. The party knows what's at stake. Every one of those ballots is treated like a sacred object, just as they would be in a general election. It's worth taking the time to make sure you got it RIGHT.
The Party did that last night, and as a result, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the party membership did, indeed, choose Alison Redford to lead them.
Alison needs to put together a cabinet as quickly as is feasible. She committed to shrinking the size of cabinet, so the GOA public service will be restructured as a result (don't worry, we're used to it). The REASON she needs to put together a cabinet is partly political, and partly practical: Firstly, she ran as an agent of change. Running the machinery of government using Ed's model isn't really going to fly for very long if she wants to maintain her "change cred". So if she wants to do anything, she'll need her own cabinet in place. And she NEEDS to get some stuff done, pronto. She committed to restoring the education cuts within 10 days. The clock is ticking. She also set timeframes for reviews of government operations and spending, which is going to require political direction within the departments, from people whom Alison trusts. The most experienced MLA to support Alison (on the second ballot) was Dave Rodney of Calgary-Lougheed. I expect he'll end up with a cabinet job, along with Doug Horner and perhaps Ted Morton and Doug Griffiths. Gene Zwozdesky might be safe, as he stayed neutral in the leadership and hasn't done a bad job. As for the rest of cabinet: Alison's been sitting around that table for 3 years. She knows how they operate. The ones she has respect for - regardless of who they backed in the leadership - will be on the short-list. The ones who don't make the cut will be on the outside. What she WON'T do, though, is blindly reward her own supporters and backers. Even if you backed Redford, if you're not qualified to serve in cabinet, she won't be putting you in a position to make her look foolish. She has committed to constructing a cabinet based on merit rather than favouritism, although factors like regional, age and gender balance always creep into cabinet-building, at any level of government. Voters want a front bench that they can relate to. If all your best MLA's are 60 year-old men from Edmonton and you put them all in cabinet, they - and you - won't be there for long. All bets are off for Deputy Premier. It can't be Horner, for political reasons - he's too closely tied to the old regime. But it will probably be someone from north of Red Deer.
First and foremost, the total numbers of votes cast should be VERY worrying for the Tories. 78,176 dues-paid members voted yesterday. Which is THREE TIMES the membership of the Wildrose Party. So no worries, right? Wrong. Here's the catch: On January 1st, 2012, the odometer re-sets at "zero". A lot of those 78,176 people will not be renewing their memberships. Their guy (whoever that was) lost. And while the PCs can brag that they've got a huge lead over their closest rival in terms of members, they historically have a membership of at least TEN TIMES the size of their closest rival. So, three-fold is nothing by comparison. They need to ask themselves "why?". Gary Mar was going to put Doug Griffiths on the case. It remains to be seen what Alison is going to do about it, but she certainly recognizes it as a problem that needs addressing - if possible, BEFORE the next election.
SPEAKING of voter turn-out, the turn-out for the second ballot was down 46% versus 2006. In '06, the gap between the first and second ballots was 1 week, and the total number of voters increased by over 46,000. In 2011, the gap between the first and second ballots was 2 weeks, and the total number of voters increased by just over 18,000.
35% of Doug Horner's voters didn't indicate a "second choice" on their ballot. Almost 51% of Horner's voters, though, chose Redford as their #2. And that was the ballgame. Those votes pushed her past Mar and into the Premier's Office.
In the first round of voting, Gary Mar had 40.76% of the popular vote. He gained endorsements from Ted Morton (11.73%), Rick Orman (10.12%) and Doug Griffiths (4.10%), yet on the second ballot his share of the popular vote (as a first-choice candidate) increased by only 1.75%. By comparison, Horner's share increased by almost 6%, and Redford's by 18.35%. In real numbers of votes cast, Mar gained 9,038 votes in the 2 weeks between the first and second ballot. Horner gained 7,315. Redford gained 17,866 votes - more than the other 2 finalists, combined.
And remember Ed Stelmach, "the man who nobody REALLY wanted"? The "Accidental Premier" the media keeps telling us about?
In 2006, his second-ballot "first preference" vote total was 51,764. After adding in the "second preference" votes from Morton's supporters, Ed had 77,577 votes.
That's almost as many as Gary, Doug, and Alison combined last night.
Time to find a new narrative.
As I mentioned earlier, I will not be around on Monday - not on the blog, not on Twitter, nowhere. I suggest you take some time to recharge your batteries, as well. When Alison starts making changes, it's going to be fast, and thorough. The spin will be intense from all parties. The implications will be far-reaching. You're going to want to be well-rested.
See you on Tuesday, Nation.
What she WON'T do, though, is blindly reward her own supporters and backers.

Very informative post. Now I know why Gary Mar didn't call for a recount. Have a great long weekend Joey. Sounds like you've earned it.
Oct. 2, 2011, 6:03:00 p.m.
No bias on your account - you are a red tory, who openly supported and campaigned for Alison in the leadership race.
I hear that you are trying to get yourself a MLA seat yourself - talk about self-serving.
Oct. 2, 2011, 11:01:00 p.m.
Anonymous: Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, I neither supported NOR openly campaigned for Alison, or for anyone.
Oct. 2, 2011, 11:06:00 p.m.
@Savage: Excellent post, as always. Very informative & easy to understand.
@Anonymous: Go back to your crack pipe. The Savage is one of the most unbiased political bloggers out there. I challenge you to find any instance of him openly campaigning for and/or supporting Redford (or anyone else) anywhere. Whether or not he is chasing a MLA position has no bearing on his posts or has nothing to do with this at all.

STAMFORD WRECKING COMPANY v. UNITED STONE AMERICA INC
Appellate Court of Connecticut.
STAMFORD WRECKING COMPANY v. UNITED STONE AMERICA, INC., et al.
No. 26572.
FLYNN, C.J., and HARPER and WEST, Js. Edward T. Lynch, Jr., with whom was Julie M. Strzemienski, New Britain, for the appellants (named defendant et al.). Neal L. Moskow, with whom, on the brief, was Deborah M. Garskof, Fairfield, for the appellee (plaintiff).
This appeal arises out of an action by the plaintiff, the Stamford Wrecking Company (Stamford Wrecking), against the defendants United Stone America, Inc. (United Stone), and Carlos A. Costa 1 to recover damages for failure to subcontract abatement and demolition work as promised. After trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff with regard to its promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment claims. The trial court subsequently denied the defendants' motion to set aside the verdict and rendered judgment, awarding the plaintiff $455,000. On appeal, the defendants claim that (1) the court improperly excluded evidence on whether federal law prohibited them from awarding the promised amount of work, (2) the court improperly denied their motion to set aside the verdict, which was based in part on the plaintiff's ineligibility for equitable relief in quasi contract and (3) there was insufficient evidence to support the verdict on unjust enrichment.2 We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
The record reveals the following pertinent facts and procedural history. The plaintiff and United Stone are both contractors engaged in the construction business. In May, 2000, the United States Navy (Navy) sent out a solicitation for bids on a demolition project that was known as the Dolphin Gardens Demolition, located at the Navy submarine base in Groton (project). The solicitation specified, inter alia, that only general contractors that qualified as "small disadvantaged business concerns" under 13 C.F.R. § 124-(8)(a) ( [8][a] contractors) were eligible to submit bids for the project. United Stone was an (8)(a) contractor and was therefore eligible to serve as the general contractor on the project. The plaintiff did not qualify as an (8)(a) contractor and, consequently, was unable to bid directly on the project.
In early September, 2000, negotiations took place between the plaintiff and United Stone involving the possibility of submitting a collaborative bid for the project. On September 12, 2000, the presidents of both companies signed a short writing (subcontracting agreement) affirming that United Stone, if awarded the project, would "subcontract the abatement and demolition work to [the plaintiff] or its designee while retaining a certain portion of the work for its own forces pursuant to the Specifications." Although the subcontracting agreement did not specify the percentage of work allocation, both parties understood at the time of its execution that United Stone would perform 15 percent of the work on the project and subcontract the rest of the work to the plaintiff.3 Further, at the time they signed the subcontracting agreement, both parties intended for the phrase "pursuant to the Specifications" to incorporate provisions from the contract between the Navy and United Stone.
On the same day that the parties executed the subcontracting agreement, United Stone formally submitted a bid for the project to the Navy. The cover letter accompanying the bid described the plaintiff as United Stone's subcontractor and stated that the proposed methodology for completing the project was "originally developed by Stamford Wrecking․" Attached to the bid were several exhibits. One exhibit described the qualifications of the plaintiff. Another exhibit was entitled "Abatement and Demolition Work Plan" and contained a breakdown of the proposed demolition and abatement subcontract work for the project. Included within this exhibit was a document stating that "[t]his work plan is based upon consolidated work efforts of [United Stone] as the general contractor, and [Stamford Wrecking] as the abatement and demolition subcontractor."
On December 15, 2000, the Navy sent United Stone a package containing an award letter and a signed copy of the construction contract (Dolphin Gardens contract). The Dolphin Gardens contract included a provision that required the general contractor, United Stone, to perform "work equivalent to at least [15] percent of the total amount of work to be performed under the contract." 4 Yet, the Dolphin Gardens contract also described the project as having a Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code of 1795. Under the Small Business Administration's (SBA) classification system, the SIC code number 1795 applies to special trade contracts for which (8)(a) contractors are required to perform a minimum of 25 percent of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees. See 13 C.F.R. § 125.6(a)(4) (2006). Despite the contradictory provisions in the contract, on December 21, 2000, the defendants sent the Navy a letter confirming that United Stone would "self perform no less than 15% of the total Contract Value with [its] own forces and equipment."
On December 26, 2000, United Stone sent the plaintiff a letter announcing its receipt of the Dolphin Gardens contract. The letter also stated that the September 12, 2000 subcontracting agreement had "lapsed," yet reassured the plaintiff that it would still be afforded "the opportunity to subcontract specific abatement and demolition work for the [p]roject as shown on bid documents." Further, the letter indicated that the opportunity for the plaintiff to serve as subcontractor was contingent on its submitting to United Stone an anticipated work schedule and breakdown of tasks by January 2, 2001.
The next day, December 27, 2000, the plaintiff sent United Stone further documentation regarding its expected performance of its duties as the project's subcontractor, along with a letter asserting that the subcontracting agreement was a binding contract that had not lapsed. After at least two telephone conversations between agents of the companies, United Stone informed the plaintiff via letter dated January 3, 2001, that, in its belief, the plaintiff had not complied satisfactorily with its information request and, consequently, would not serve as United Stone's subcontractor on the project.
On January 9, 2001, the plaintiff initiated the present action, alleging various contractual and equitable bases for requiring the defendants to award the plaintiff the project's abatement and demolition work pursuant to the subcontracting agreement. According to the plaintiff, the subcontracting agreement was a binding contract that obligated United Stone to subcontract to it "the abatement and demolition work," which constituted approximately 85 percent of the project's total work. As amended, the complaint alleged that the defendants' refusal to subcontract the agreed on amount of work to the plaintiff constituted a breach of contract or, alternatively, a ground for recovery on the basis of the equitable doctrines of promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment. The plaintiff further claimed that the defendants' actions constituted a violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUTPA), General Statutes § 42-110a et seq., and fraud.
When the action was initially submitted to the jury, the court declared a mistrial. Upon retrial, however, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff on the promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment claims, and a verdict in favor of the defendants on the breach of contract, fraud and CUTPA claims. After a hearing on May 4, 2005, the court denied the defendants' motion to set aside the verdict on the promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment claims. This appeal followed.
The defendants first argue that the court improperly excluded various documents and portions of federal regulations suggesting that the Navy incorrectly let the project out for bid as a "general construction" contract rather than a "special trade" contract. The defendants allege that this evidence would have refuted the plaintiff's breach of contract and promissory estoppel claims by showing that the federal laws and regulations applicable to special trade contracts prevented them from awarding the plaintiff 85 percent of the work on the project. Further, the defendants claim that the court should have admitted the evidence because the Dolphin Gardens contract's conflicting provisions regarding allocation of work created an ambiguity in the subcontracting agreement. We disagree.
The following additional facts are necessary for our review. At trial, the defendants offered a series of exhibits suggesting that the SBA had technically classified the Dolphin Gardens contract as a special trade contract. The proffered evidence included various federal regulations confirming that projects assigned an SIC code of 1795 are special trade contracts under which 8)(a) contractors must perform at least 25 percent of the work.5
The defendants also sought to admit the deposition testimony of Kathleen J. Jennings, an SBA representative, and two sets of written correspondence between Jennings and the Navy. The first set consisted of two letters documenting the SBA's agreement to accept the project into the SBA's (8)(a) program and to assign it an SIC code of 1795. The second set of correspondence included two letters sent by Jennings after she learned of the project's classification as a general construction contract. On February 12, 2001, Jennings wrote to the defendants and instructed them to "keep in mind" that, as a special trade contractor under 13 C.F.R. § 125.6 (2006), they were required to perform at least 25 percent of the project work themselves. Jennings then sent a letter to a Navy representative notifying him of the conflicting work percentage requirements in the Dolphin Gardens contract and asking that the Dolphin Gardens contract be revised to correct them.
The court refused to admit the defendants' proffered evidence after finding that (1) the Dolphin Gardens contract explicitly stated, and the parties understood, that the project was a general construction contract and (2) although there were later discussions about whether to modify the Dolphin Gardens contract, actual modification never occurred. Therefore, the court concluded that any evidence offered to suggest that the project should have been classified as a special trade contract could not be admitted without violating the parol evidence rule.
Ordinarily, "the trial court may exercise its discretion with regard to evidentiary rulings, and the trial court's rulings will not be disturbed on appellate review absent abuse of that discretion." Hall v. Burns, 213 Conn. 446, 451, 569 A.2d 10 (1990). "Because the parol evidence rule is not an exclusionary rule of evidence, however, but a rule of substantive contract law ․ the [defendants'] claim involves a question of law to which we afford plenary review." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Alstom Power, Inc. v. Balcke-Durr, Inc., 269 Conn. 599, 609, 849 A.2d 804 (2004).
The parol evidence rule "is premised upon the idea that when the parties have deliberately put their engagements into writing, in such terms as import a legal obligation, without any uncertainty as to the object or extent of such engagement, it is conclusively presumed, that the whole engagement of the parties, and the extent and manner of their understanding, was reduced to writing. After this, to permit oral testimony, or prior or contemporaneous conversations, or circumstances, or usages ․ in order to learn what was intended, or to contradict what is written, would be dangerous and unjust in the extreme․
"The parol evidence rule does not of itself, therefore, forbid the presentation of parol evidence, that is, evidence outside the four corners of the contract concerning matters governed by an integrated contract, but forbids only the use of such evidence to vary or contradict the terms of such a contract. Parol evidence offered solely to vary or contradict the written terms of an integrated contract ․ is inadmissible not because it is parol evidence, but because it is irrelevant․ [However] such evidence may still be admissible [in] situations [in which] the evidence (1) does not vary or contradict the contract's terms, or (2) may be considered because the contract has been shown not to be integrated; or (3) tends to show that the contract should be defeated or altered on the equitable ground that relief can be had against any deed or contract in writing founded in mistake or fraud." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Schilberg Integrated Metals Corp. v. Continental Casualty Co., 263 Conn. 245, 277-78, 819 A.2d 773 (2003).
On appeal, the defendants claim that the evidence was admissible because the reference in the Dolphin Gardens contract to both general construction and special trade contracts created an ambiguity in the subcontracting agreement. Additionally, the defendants claim that the subcontracting agreement was ambiguous because the subcontracting agreement does not, on its face, specify the amount of work to be performed by each party.
"We construe a contract in accordance with what we conclude to be the understanding and intention of the parties as determined from the language used by them interpreted in the light of the situation of the parties and the circumstances connected with the transaction․ The intention of the parties manifested by their words and acts is essential to determine the meaning and terms of the contract and that intention may be gathered from all such permissible, pertinent facts and circumstances." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Poole v. Waterbury, 266 Conn. 68, 97, 831 A.2d 211 (2003).
Furthermore, "[a] court will not torture words to import ambiguity where the ordinary meaning leaves no room for ambiguity․ Similarly, any ambiguity ․ must emanate from the language used in the contract rather than from one party's subjective perception of the terms․ Moreover, [t]he mere fact that the parties advance different interpretations of the language in question does not necessitate a conclusion that the language is ambiguous․ If the language of the contract is susceptible to more than one reasonable interpretation, the contract is ambiguous." (Citations omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) Goldberg v. Hartford Fire Ins. Co., 269 Conn. 550, 559, 849 A.2d 368 (2004).
Finally, "where the contract language is not definitive, the determination of the parties' intent is a question of fact, and the trial court's interpretation is subject to reversal on appeal only if it is clearly erroneous." Cantonbury Heights Condominium Assn., Inc. v. Local Land Development, LLC, 273 Conn. 724, 738, 873 A.2d 898 (2005).
Turning to the facts of this case, the agreement is silent regarding the precise amount of abatement and demolition work that was promised to the plaintiff and overall percentage of work that would be allocated to each party. Indeed, the agreement states, without further explication, only that United Stone "agrees to subcontract the abatement and demolition work to Stamford Wrecking while retaining a certain portion of the work for its own forces pursuant to the Specifications."
Given the agreement's lack of details, we conclude that the agreement was indeed ambiguous and that extrinsic evidence was therefore necessary to establish the intent of the parties at the time the agreement was executed. Accordingly, the court properly allowed both parties to present extrinsic evidence that tended to clarify the intended meaning of the agreement and particularly the intended allocation of work between the parties.
Despite the two different minimum performance standards in the Dolphin Gardens contract, the evidence conclusively established that the Navy, the plaintiff, and the defendants all believed that United Stone was required to perform only 15 percent of the work on the project. Notably, after receiving a signed copy of the Dolphin Gardens contract, United Stone wrote to the Navy on December 21, 2000, to confirm its ability to perform the required minimum of 15 percent of the work. Indeed, there is no evidence that the Navy was even aware of the conflicting language in the Dolphin Gardens contract until Jennings brought it to the Navy's attention in a letter dated March 8, 2001.
Consequently, the fact that the Dolphin Gardens contract referred to special trade contracts did not alter the parties' understanding or intent regarding work allocation on the project. Because there never was any actual confusion regarding the parties' apportionment of the work on the project, the excluded evidence would not have been admissible to clarify the ambiguous language in the subcontracting agreement.
What the defendants' proffered evidence actually tended to show was that the project should have been classified as a special trade contract or perhaps was originally intended by the Navy and the SBA to be a special trade contract.6 Indeed, that was the only fact the evidence could establish because there was never any question that the Navy understood that it had a general construction contract with the defendants.
Yet, as the court recognized, attempting to establish what the contract should have been, rather than what it was, is the exact conduct proscribed by the parol evidence rule. Our Supreme Court's decision in HLO Land Ownership Associates Ltd. Partnership v. Hartford, 248 Conn. 350, 727 A.2d 1260 (1999), is instructive in this regard. That case required interpretation of an ambiguous phrase used in a stipulated judgment. While acknowledging the admissibility of extrinsic evidence to interpret the meaning of the contractual phrase at issue, the court concluded that the excluded evidence actually tended to establish grounds for invalidating the contract altogether rather than clarifying its meaning. Id., at 360, 727 A.2d 1260.
Thus, in upholding the exclusion of the evidence, the court noted that it "would have gone beyond explaining the meaning of the phrase at issue [and] would have tended to show, instead, that the contract should be rescinded․" Id. Because extrinsic evidence is admissible only to clarify the intended meaning of a contractual term, the court held that the proffered evidence "exceeded the proper scope of parol evidence" and was thus inadmissible. Id., at 355, 727 A.2d 1260.
Here, as in HLO Land Ownership Associates Ltd. Partnership, the proffered evidence surpassed the bounds of evidence that would have been admissible to clarify the alleged ambiguity in the agreement. Indeed, it would have enabled the defendants to bring in through the back door of ambiguity that which was totally barred admission by the parol evidence rule. This is especially so in this case because there was never any doubt that the parties originally intended to split the work in accordance with the percentages specified for general construction contracts.
In addition, although the parties did not raise the issue either before the trial court or this court, both the Navy and United Stone arguably waived their right to enforce the 25 percent requirement in the Dolphin Gardens contract by expressly confirming the correctness of the 15 percent provision. "Waiver is the voluntary relinquishment of a known right." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) MacKay v. Aetna Life Ins. Co., 118 Conn. 538, 547, 173 A. 783 (1934). As noted by our Supreme Court, "[w]aiver does not have to be express, but may consist of acts or conduct from which waiver may be implied․ In other words, waiver may be inferred from the circumstances if it is reasonable so to do." (Citation omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) Loda v. H.K. Sargeant & Associates, Inc., 188 Conn. 69, 76, 448 A.2d 812 (1982). Furthermore, the Navy and United Stone are presumed to have had actual or constructive knowledge of the 25 percent performance requirement in the Dolphin Gardens contract at the time of their confirmation of the 15 percent requirement. See Batter Building Materials Co. v. Kirschner, 142 Conn. 1, 7, 110 A.2d 464 (1954) (stating that a party is not allowed, "in the absence of accident, fraud, mistake or unfair dealing, to escape his contractual obligations by saying ․ that he did not read what was expressly incorporated as specific provisions of the contract into which he entered").
We conclude, therefore, that because the evidence offered by the defendants would have impermissibly varied or contradicted the terms of the agreement made by the parties, the court properly ruled that the defendants' proffered evidence warranted exclusion under the parol evidence rule.
The defendants next claim that the court improperly denied their motion to set aside the verdict, which was based in part on the plaintiff's ineligibility for equitable relief in quasi contract. Specifically, the defendants allege that the agreement's failure to assign United Stone more than 15 percent of the work on the project would have violated 48 C.F.R. § 52.219-14 (2005) and 13 C.F.R. § 125.6 (2006).7 On the basis of this presumption, the defendants contend that the parties' contract was "illegal," and thereby rendered the promises underlying it "illegal" and "against public policy." Accordingly, the defendants claim that the verdict as to promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment must be set aside because neither doctrine "validate[s] a promise which is illegal." We disagree.
"The standard of review governing our review of a trial court's denial of a motion to set aside the verdict is well settled. The trial court possesses inherent power to set aside a jury verdict which, in the court's opinion, is against the law or the evidence․ [The trial court] should not set aside a verdict where it is apparent that there was some evidence upon which the jury might reasonably reach [its] conclusion, and should not refuse to set it aside where the manifest injustice of the verdict is so plain and palpable as clearly to denote that same mistake was made by the jury in the application of legal principles․ Ultimately, [t]he decision to set aside a verdict entails the exercise of a broad legal discretion ․ that, in the absence of clear abuse, we shall not disturb." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Medes v. Geico Corp., 97 Conn.App. 630, 638, 905 A.2d 1249, cert. denied, 280 Conn. 940, 912 A.2d 476 (2006).
"Although it is well established that parties are free to contract for whatever terms on which they may agree ․ it is equally well established that contracts that violate public policy are unenforceable․ [T]he question [of] whether a contract is against public policy is [a] question of law dependent on the circumstances of the particular case, over which an appellate court has unlimited review." (Citations omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) Hanks v. Powder Ridge Restaurant Corp., 276 Conn. 314, 326-27, 885 A.2d 734 (2005).
In this case, there is no support in the record for the defendants' contention that the subcontracting agreement's delegation of 85 percent of the work to the plaintiff would have violated any law, federal or state. As we have already discussed, the Navy let the project out for bid as a general construction contract.8 The federal regulations applicable to general construction contracts, 13 C.F.R. § 125.6 (2006) and 48 C.F.R. § 52.219-14 (2005), require (8)(a) contractors to perform only 15 percent of the work. Because the subcontracting agreement reserved 15 percent of the work for United Stone, its enforcement would not have violated either of those federal regulations.
Having rejected the defendants' argument that performance under the subcontracting agreement would have violated § 125.6 or § 52.219-14, we fail to see any other means by which the subcontracting agreement could have constituted a violation of law or public policy. The subcontracting agreement contemplated subcontracting a stated percentage of work on a federal demolition project. That objective is not inherently illegal or contrary to any discernible public policy. Furthermore, a promise arising from such an agreement would be "in no sense one for or about any matter or thing which was prohibited or made unlawful." (Internal quotation marks omitted). Sagal v. Fylar, 89 Conn. 293, 296, 93 A. 1027 (1915).
Moreover, the defendants' allegations that the subcontracting agreement embodied an "illegal" contract or contract "against public policy" directly conflict with the jury's express findings of fact at trial. Specifically, the jury found there was no "valid, legally enforceable contract" between the plaintiff and defendant. In reaching that conclusion, the jury determined that "there was no meeting of the minds when the contract was made" and accordingly, "the defendant's failure to give the work to the plaintiff was excused because the parties never identified the fifteen percent (15 percent) of the cost of the work."
Second, and of particular import, is the jury's finding that the plaintiff did not intend to use United Stone as a "front" in violation of federal law. The jury also found that the defendants did not violate CUTPA or commit any fraudulent acts.
On the whole, then, the jury rejected all possible theories of wrongdoing or illegality in this case and instead found the contract void for lack of a "meeting of the minds." Given these express findings and the defendants' failure to demonstrate the subcontracting agreement contravened any cognizable public policy or law, we cannot conclude that the equitable remedies awarded were improper because of some illegal taint to the subcontracting agreement. The court, therefore, did not commit any abuse of its discretion in denying the defendants' motion to set aside the jury verdict.
Our conclusion that the agreement does not violate any law or public policy obviates the need to address the defendants' final argument that the judgment must be set aside because ex turpi causa non oritur actio-no cause of action may be founded on an immoral or illegal act. Here, the promises underlying the agreement were neither immoral nor illegal, and the jury's findings of promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment were well supported by the evidence.
1. Costa is the president and founder of United Stone. The United States Navy, Northern Division, is also a defendant, but it has never actively participated in this litigation. Throughout this opinion, all references to the defendants will refer to United Stone and Costa.
2. Because the defendants failed to explicate adequately their argument regarding the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the verdict on unjust enrichment, we decline to address it.
3. During the trial, Costa, the president of United Stone, testified that he believed when he signed the subcontracting agreement that United Stone would be responsible for performing only 15 percent of the work. Irving Goldblum, president of the plaintiff, also testified about his understanding that United Stone would perform 15 percent of the work on the project and subcontract the rest to the plaintiff.
4. The requirement that the general contractor perform at least 15 percent of the work applies to contracts classified as general construction contracts by the Small Business Administration (SBA). See 13 C.F.R. § 125.6(a)(3) (2006).
5. Specifically, the defendants sought to admit portions of 48 C.F.R. § 52.219-14 (2005) and 13 C.F.R. §§ 125.6 and 121.201 (2006). The defendants also proffered an exhibit containing the SBA's description of projects assigned an SIC code of 1795.
6. At oral argument, counsel for the defendants conceded this point when he stated that the proffered evidence should have been admissible "to show that in reality it was supposed to be a 25 percent contract." (Emphasis added.) Showing what a contract was supposed to have been, however, is precisely what the parol evidence rule forbids.
7. Title 13 of the Code of Federal Regulations, § 125.6(a), provides in relevant part: "In order to be awarded a full or partial ․ 8(a) contract ․ a small business concern must agree that ․ (3) In the case of a contract for general construction, the concern will perform at least 15 percent of the cost of the contract with its own employees (not including the costs of materials). (4) In the case of a contract for construction by special trade contractors, the concern will perform at least 25 percent of the cost of the contract with its own employees (not including the costs of materials)."Title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations, § 52.219-14(b), provides in relevant part: "By submission of an offer and execution of a contract, the Offeror/Contractor agrees that in performance of the contract in the case of a contract for ․ (3) General construction. The concern will perform at least 15 percent of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees. (4) Construction by special trade contractors. The concern will perform at least 25 percent of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees."Because the Navy let the project out for bid as a general construction contract, the defendants, as the general contractor, were subject to the 15 percent requirement of 13 C.F.R. § 125.6 (2006) and 48 C.F.R. § 52.219-14 (2005). The defendants argue, however, that the Navy contract should have been a special trade contract for which they would have been required to perform 25 percent of the work under those regulations. As discussed previously, we find no merit to the defendants' claims regarding this issue.
8. The defendants suggest that the Navy was required by federal law to classify the project as a special trade contract, and the Navy's failure to categorize it as such was illegal. We do not reach this issue for the reasons explained previously in the analysis.We note, however, that the defendants performed their responsibilities as general contractor in accordance with the Navy contract. As such, the defendants' argument that the Navy contract was illegal for subcontracting purposes is quite ironic.
HARPER, J.
In this opinion the other judges concurred.


More than a special day set aside for family bar-b-que dinners, and more than a day full of fireworks, but a day of reflection and celebration of a nation commemorating the immense faith and courage from the Founding Fathers in pursuit of something greater, a declaration for independence.
Standing the tests of time to date, the Declaration of Independence continues to invoke a certain passion in the people of America.
Ask someone to start reciting, and they start with, "We hole these truths to be . . ." As important as it is to know what the Declaration of Independence is, it is equally important to know how it truely starts out. That is where the document reaches its climax, and drives home an intimate sense of passion.
So, when you sit down at the table and start passing around the ribs and baked beans, take an extra second to think about what the Fourth of July is, a cause for celebration.

Tanzania Ports Authority To Install EUR 5 Million Electronic Window System At Dar Es Salaam Port

The Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) has announced that plans to install and open a EUR 5 million electronic single window system (eSWS) at Dar es Salaam port are on schedule and the project will become operational by the third quarter of 2015.
According to the Director of Information Communication Technology for the TPA, Phares Magesa, a meeting with all port community stakeholders is being planned to discuss the implementation of the project in January 2015 by Belgian based Phaeros BVBA.
"This electronic single window system will enhance transparency and accountability which will boost both government revenue through TRA and also TPA," he said, "We are targeting to become one of the most efficient ports in Sub Sahara Africa by reducing cargo clearance time from the current nine days to five days."
The new eSWS is expected to help reduce the burden on the importers and exporters of goods by allowing a number of government regulatory agencies including the Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority, the Tanzania Bureau of Standards, and the Tanzania Atomic Energy Agency to electronically process import and export papers.

Mid-ring finger bling is en vogue!
For all you fashionistas out there, I'm sure you have seen or heard of midrings AKA "midi" rings. It's been a trend that has been lurking around for the past year, but popping up everywhere now. Rihanna has been one of the main celebrity trendsetters in this game.
This is a smart way to recycle rings that don't fit anymore or to wear tiny vintage rings that are too pretty to pass up. It's a great excuse to pile on accessories in a fun way. These accessories provide a dose of old-world charm and add intrigue to what could be an otherwise typical jewelry game. Definitely makes for a fashion accessory statement.
Simple thin wedding-ring style is a classic that goes with everything. Wear it only on one finger or accessorize them all for powerful statement.
Want to rock this trend? Anything goes! Midi rings look awesome in a stack, alongside another ring, or completely alone. There is only one rule to this game – make sure your nails are done! A great manicure is always in style, and the mid ring is an ideal way to showcase a hot new color or alluring shape.


This guy needs no introduction. Your grandmother's, grandmother probably know Mr. Kanye West. He's back, to take over the world carrying 7 songs as his weapon. Many people say Kanye has lost his mind, but I say it's a thin line between genius and insane.
Kanye's 8th studio album titled Ye was released on June 1, 2018. This album is very unique for a couple of reasons. First, the fact that it features some well-known artists, but they all are uncredited. You can hear Kid Cudi, Ty Dolla $ign, PartyNextDoor, Jeremih, Charlie Wilson and 070 Shake on the album. Second, the fact that Ye was recorded at a ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. That's just a little bit different. Third, the fact that Ye only has 7 songs.
Here are a couple of notable songs on the album. Ye starts out with a song called I Thought About Killing You. I'm not really sure who Kanye is talking about in this song, but he definitely thought about killing that person. My personal opinion is that he's talking to his alter ego. Wouldn't Leave is track 4, and it's one of my favorites off Ye. This song features PartyNextDoor, Jeremih and Ty Dollar $ign. Kanye referenced a lot of things in this song like the classic Sway In The Morning interview, the slavery comments that got severe backlash and how his controversy actions took a toll on his wife. Also, check out track 5 titled No Mistakes featuring the legendary Charlie Wilson. It's my version of a grown man's love song. My favorite song on the album has to be track 6 titled Ghost Town. From the production, to blazing hot chorus from 070 Shake, this is dope. Plus, Ghost Town was finished only hours before the release of the album.
Production credits for Ye goes to Kanye West, Mike Dean, Apex Martin, Benny Blanco, Check Pope and Francis and the Lights.
I give Ye 4.5 flames. The tracklist is below.

3 best marijuana stocks to buy in January
By Donald M. Blake	 Last updated Jan 1, 2022
TThe past year has not been kind to marijuana investors, who have seen most cannabis stocks collapse as momentum for federal legalization halted in Congress. the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences NBIF was down 20% in 2021, down from 34% from peaks reached last February.
Many pot stocks have done much worse, and the only reason the exchange-traded fund isn't declining even more is the performance of companies like the marijuana-focused real estate investment trust. Innovative industrial properties – a top 10 ETF holdings, and one that behaves well in good times as well as in bad times.
I recently explained why I think Innovative Industrial is a strong buy for the industry, but there are also other good marijuana stocks to consider, even those that have fallen due to the industry's pessimism.
With a huge opportunity ahead of them, the following trio of cannabis companies should be on your list of stocks to buy in January.
Cresco Laboratories
One of the largest vertically integrated multistate (OSM) operators in the country, Cresco Laboratories (OTC: CRLBF) has a two-pronged approach to growth, operating upstream retail stores while managing back-end production and processing. This makes them a leading wholesaler in the branded cannabis products industry.
By the end of the third quarter, it had 21 production facilities and 46 dispensaries, but in December it completed its acquisition of Laurel Harvest Labs, which gave it another operational dispensary in Pennsylvania with licensing options for open five more. It also opened its 13th dispensary in Florida, the fifth since entering the market last April through its acquisition of Bluma Wellness.
The dual growth strategy both organically and through acquisitions gives Cresco broad coverage in the states most important for the expansion of marijuana.
Not only does Cresco sell its marijuana products in its own dispensaries, but it is also able to integrate its own branded cannabis products such as Mindy's and Sunnyside in more than 1,000 dispensaries across the country. More than half of them are sold in retail stores across California, the largest marijuana market.
Cresco stock lost a third of its value in 2021, but Wall Street is seeing its income growing at a compound rate of 33% per year and reaching nearly $ 2 billion by the middle of the decade, while growing from losses to adjusted net profits of $ 370 million. At $ 5 a share, Cresco Labs is a stock to buy this month.
GrowGeneration
GrowGeneration (NASDAQ: GRWG) may have been one of the biggest losers of the past year, which could make an investment in this unique marijuana game a huge winner in 2022.
GrowGeneration does not grow or sell cannabis itself, but rather is the largest provider of specialized hydroponic and organic garden centers in the country. This is a stock of pickaxes and shovels that is expected to grow alongside the industry, as it provides the basic materials that commercial producers and consumers need for their business.
The garden center operator has extensive coverage with 62 stores in 13 states, but it is also strengthening its e-commerce presence, and online sales are expected to reach $ 35 million for the year it releases its fourth quarter results. trimester. It also focuses on own brands and own brands to strengthen its profit margins. Gross margins increased 290 basis points to 29.4%, and it is profitable both on an adjusted basis and under GAAP.
Revenue is expected to double over the next five years to $ 843 million, and adjusted earnings are expected to triple. In February, GrowGeneration was soaring to almost $ 68 per share, but today it costs around $ 13. Wall Street has a consensus price target of $ 35.75 per share, giving that stock a 170% rise in the coming year.
Columbia care
Another big MSO, Columbia care (OTC: CCHWF) outperforms Cresco Labs with 99 dispensaries in 17 states, as well as 32 growing and manufacturing facilities operating alongside its wholesale distribution business in 13 markets. But it really focuses on limited licensing markets like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Massachusetts, which limits its competition and gives it some pricing power.
Its goal, however, is to scale up as quickly as possible. In recent months, it has acquired vertically integrated medical marijuana company Green Leaf Medical; CannAscend, a four dispensary operation focused on Ohio; and California-based grower, wholesaler and retailer, Project Cannabis. He also bought Medicine Man and has just entered the new medical marijuana market in Virginia with some of the state's first whole flower sales to patients under his Seed & Strain and gLeaf brands.
Columbia Care shares lost more than half of their value in 2021. This is despite third quarter revenue more than doubling from last year and comparable store sales up nearly 16%.
Wall Street remains bullish, expecting it to exceed $ 1.3 billion in revenue over the next several years, and with a consensus price target of $ 12.80 per share, this MSO is expected to rise by nearly 350% next year from its level below $ 3 per share. -part of the current value. January would be a great time to check out this growing stock of marijuana.

Hypnosis is an effective modality for children ages 5 and up. Hypnosis can help children avoid addictive and sometimes harmful medications and their side effects by addressing issues in the subconscious mind directly.
There are so many problems children encounter and feel that hypnotherapy can help with. Children are usually excellent hypnotic subjects. Children have such wonderful imaginations that you can induce the hypnotic state easily and rapidly by asking them, for example, to imagine playing on the beach or running through a field and feeling freedom.
Nail biting, stuttering, various kinds of habitual spasms, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), behavior issues, problems focusing in school and more can be addressed by hypnosis. One of the most rewarding aspects of hypnotherapy is hypnosis does not rely on addictive drugs that have harmful side effects and do not solve the true root cause of the problem.
In a study on Dyslexia, Crasilneck and Hall showed that over 75% of dyslexic children can be helped with direct hypnosis. Following hypnotherapy that included suggestions for improving performance and pronunciation, recognition of words became automatic and more rapid. The results in this study were as good as, or slightly better than, those reported by special behavior modifiers.
In frustrating situations that seem to not be improving, parents can become exhausted or even resentful toward their child. Each and every child wants to feel happy, healthy and free. Acting out in the height of the situation can make this seem hard to see, but many times the child's actions are simply a way of communicating that something is bothering them. Hypnosis helps create needed change to take the edge off the situation and give enough room for improvement to begin to take hold.

Vancouver is one of the world's fastest rising 'prime' real estate markets, which is awesome for homeowners looking to cash out but pretty terrible for small galleries looking to set their artists's on the path to greatness with supported residency programmes. To get round this, Access Gallery have set up a programme placing artists on board the pacific cargo ships that cross from Vancouver to Shanghai, where they are met by the supportive community of the Shanghai arts scene.
Twenty-Three Days at Sea offers selected visual artists passage aboard cargo ships sailing from Vancouver to Shanghai, a voyage that takes approximately 23 days. For the duration of the crossing, the artists will be considered "in residence" aboard the freighter vessel, an unconventional studio space in comparison with traditional residencies' typical offerings of studio and living space in a static site. Each artist will keep a log of their experience while at sea (to be reproduced as published books at a later date), introduced to leading members of Shanghai's art community, and will develop a new body of work in response to the voyage, to be exhibited at Access Gallery in the following months.
