Making Connections Through Blues: Nathan Quick Shares His Houston Story
One Houston musician shares his favorite spots in the city and how there's always something new to discover.
Award winning singer/songwriter and Houston native, Nathan Quick tells us about the best place to grab a beer in Houston, how he got into making music, and why he'll never get tired of the city.
What about the city inspires you and your music?
It can be the most tight knit small town where you know everyone, or you can submerge in unfamiliarity and draw inspiration from sights never seen. There are definitely places that have seen me come up in my craft, one being Avant Garden. I've spent many nights on the patio writing, and also performing at the open mic there. This is where I really got in the music scene.
Avant Garden Houston
What are some of your favorite venues to play in Houston, and why?
Mcgonigel's Mucky Duck is a great listening room. I am a resident musician at the Duck and I love playing there because of the old school dinner show vibe. It's comfortable, and a great place to get a proper pint. White Oak Music Hall is new, it has awesome lighting a great stage and the best sounding rooms in Houston. Continental Club has nostalgia and history. So many great names have played in those walls. The vibe is laid back and fun, always a good time! The 8th Wonder Brewery has one of my favorite beers all around. Very spacious outdoor stage with good vibes. Lots of room for people to hang out and listen.
Quick exploring the city's music scene
Hear the Music, Experience the USA
How did you get started making music?
My dad. He was a blues and rock musician before I was even a thought. I'd gotten into traditional blues and classic rock through him. I then picked up the guitar on my own and started listening to vinyl of Hendrix and Cream and learned the riffs. I also got into old country for the songwriting and it inspired me to write myself.
What drew you to the particular kind of music you create?
I didn't really have a choice. I was submerged in the blues and songwriting and country and classic rock. Writing became apart of me, I connected with it, same with the guitar. It's my passion and what I am created to do.
Quick recording in a Houston studio
What do you want people to take away from your music?
I want people to feel connected. To have someone connect to what you play or what you sing is inspiring to me. I want to give people, the feeling that I get when I hear that one lyric that makes you smile or that brings tears to your eyes. Or hit that one note that sings on a guitar, that makes your hairs stand up on the back of your neck. I want people to take my music however they want, in their own walk of life, and hold onto it.
Why is your city a great place to play the kind of music you make?
Houston is a great city to make the kind of music I make because it's Houston. The blues, old country, singer songwriters, rock 'n' roll, so much of this music is stemmed from here. The story that Houston has created, fits like a puzzle piece with the music I make. The city embraces all kinds of music and there are so many opportunities to play or watch music every night of the week.
What do you love about Houston, and why?
I love that there are so many different cultures here. Also, the food! Houston has an enormous variety of different kinds of foods and so many great restaurants. You'll never get tired of eating out and discovering new spots that are truly quite splendid.
For such a growing gigantic city, Houston has a lot of space. There's always a park or trail you can take to wind down and breathe. Last but not least, the music scene. Houston's music scene and art scene are growing exponentially. There are so many that appreciate the arts here and that means the world to an artist.

The CamTESOL Conference series is held annually in Cambodia since 2005 to provide a platform for the sharing of best practices, latest updates and prospect of the ELT industry.
The 15th CamTESOL Conference will be held on 15-17 February 2019 in Phnom Penh with the theme of " Teachers as Learners".
CamTESOL is now one of the biggest TESOL conferences in Asia attended by around 1,700 delegates coming from more than 30 countries every year with over 400 presentation sessions delivered by world leading ELT experts, local and international researchers or teachers of English. CamTESOL continues to strive hard to have this professional development opportunity accessible to Cambodian teachers of English from the provinces as well as colleagues from South East Asia through sponsorship funding made available by generous individuals and institutions.
Prior to the main conference, CamTESOL also usually hosts a number of pre-conference activities in conjunction with its partner institutions. Those include the CamTESOL-UECA ELT Regional Research Symposium, the CamTESOL-NEAS ELT Leadership Forum, education and cultural tours. These activities are either optional or targeted to those coming to the main CamTESOL conference.
Registration is now open. Early Registration ends on 05 January 2019.

Telekinesis - Pseudoscience or Psychic Ability?
Everyone remembers Luke Skywalker trying to move objects with his mind. Have you ever wondered if there's any grain of truth behind that? Does anyone actually have telekinesis?
Telekinesis, or psychokinesis, refers to the ability to influence, alter, or move physical objects with the mind. Is it pure science fiction? Pseudoscience and superstition, as the beloved Carl Sagan said? The answer is probably yes.
When you think of telekinesis, scenes of Jedis from Star Wars, Carrie White from the Stephen King novel, or Eleven from Stranger Things probably come to mind. Again, pure fiction. H owever, there's new information that might change your perception of this idea.
With the development of so-called "neurotechnologies" such as Neuralink, innovators like Elon Musk argue that humans are on the cusp of being able to interact with electronic devices with the mind… and an interface. As Arthur C. Clark once famously said, "Magic is just science we don't understand yet".
Telekinesis – what do we know so far?
The word telekinesis was coined in 1914, but it wasn't until 1934 that parapsychologist JB Rhine started to do experimental research of the phenomenon. However, as of yet, no one has been able to show that human beings are capable of mentally influencing external events or objects without applying physical force.
Despite the lack of evidence, there's still plenty of interest in the phenomenon. The height of research on the subject happened during the Cold War. In the 1980s, the U.S. Army Research Institute asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to conduct what would be one of the most noteworthy studies on telekinesis.
The results of the study coincide with what experts today say about the subject. Let's analyze them.
Why is telekinesis impossible?
British physicist John G. Taylor is probably the foremost researcher in the "field" of telekinesis. According to Taylor, no physical mechanism would make psychokinesis possible. Here's why:
The curious case of Nina Kulagina
Nina Kulagina was the subject of a lot of interest and intrigue for scientists studying telekinesis. She was born in Russia in 1926 and joined the Red Army at the age of 14. In World War II, she was part of the tank regiment. It wasn't until after the war, however, that she started to display some skills outside the normal scope of a housewife.
Kulagina could move objects without touching them. Once the word got out, a group of Soviet experts subjected her to a barrage of tests and experiments. Here's one of the most well-known cases from the Cold War era. You can still see black and white recordings of Kulagina separating egg yolks from egg whites and moving matchsticks with her mind.
According to Kulagina, her powers were more intense when she was angry. After these displays, she complained of exhaustion, back pain, and eye pain. In the end, Kulagina claimed that she lost her abilities due to storms. She said that the electrical phenomena of the weather affected this seemingly extraordinary ability.
Therefore, did Nina Kulagina actually have telekinetic powers? These days, most experts believe that the story was just Soviet propaganda.
Could telekinesis be possible in the future?
Those who claim that telekinesis is just around the corner have plenty of detractors. That makes sense, given the fact that researchers have spent decades showing that the concept challenges everything we know about physics and seems to be impossible.
As we mentioned before, however, Elon Musk recently unveiled Neuralink, a company developing technology that would create bridges between the brain and machines. What's the goal? The first is to treat illnesses such as blindness, movement problems, and neurogenerative diseases. The second is to push the boundaries of what we take for granted. Perhaps they'll design a car that you can drive with your mind. That form of telepathy would be mediated by small interfaces that would allow communication between you and the car's computer.
It seems as if the missing link to putting previously impossible things within our grasp is technology. Let's see what the next few years bring.

Carolina Gisolf (Bukittinggi, 13 de julio de 1910-Amstelveen, 30 de mayo de 1993), también llamada Lien Gisolf, fue una atleta neerlandesa, especialista en la prueba de salto de altura en la que llegó a ser subcampeona olímpica en 1928 y plusmarquista mundial durante finales de los años 20 y comienzos de los años 30; su mejor marca fue de 1.62 metros.

Carrera deportiva

En los JJ. OO. de Ámsterdam 1928 ganó la medalla de plata en el salto de altura, saltando por encima de 1.56 metros, tras la canadiense Ethel Catherwood que con 1.595 metros batió el récord del mundo, y por delante de la estadounidense Mildred Wiley (bronce con 1.56 metros).

Q: Independence of Pois distributions Let $X = V + W$ and $Y = V + Z$ where $V, W, Z$ are independent Pois($\lambda$) random variables.
I have been able to show that Cov(X,Y) = Var(V) = $\lambda$ which implies that X and Y are not independent.
How would I determine if X and Y are conditionally independent given V.
What is the calculation for P(X = 5, Y = 0) in terms of λ

A: For your first question, check if $$P(X=x, Y=y \mid V=v) = P(X=x \mid V=v) P(Y=y \mid V=v)$$ holds for $x \ge v$ and $y \ge v$.

For your second question, use the law of total probability to obtain
$$P(X=5, Y=0) = \sum_{v = 0}^\infty P(X=5, Y=0, V=v).$$
Note that the terms on the right are zero if $v > 5$.

In both steps above, it will be helpful to write things in terms of $V, W,Z$ rather than $V,X,Y$.

Anyone know anything about this ammo?
It's Fiocchi 9mm, nato cross & has some kind of weird aqua colored primer sealant. I'm wondering whether it's safe to shoot out of my P6's & P228.
Just make sure that blue green color is sealant not copper corrosion.
I'd enjoy firing that ammo in my P6. The intarw3bz don't link Sigs and kaBOOMs. I tried Bing and Dogpile and I doubt that there is a Sig kaBOOM coverup conspiracy. Have fun!
Yeah, the pressure allowed for a 9mm NATO round is slightly higher than 9mm Luger, but not as high as 9mm +P. Guns which are nitro proofed should be safe to fire +P and below.
My P6 bears the "nitro proof eagle."
Guess We'll find out next time I hit the range.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss bulging trade deficit with China
By NewsGram Staff Writer
Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Beijing next month, will take up the issue regarding India's bulging trade deficit with the Chinese leaders.
Modi is expected to propose measures to narrow the gap that had disproportionately skewed towards the neighbor.
According to the estimations of the Commerce Department, the trade deficit between India and China has widened up to $40 billion in 2014-15 and is expected to reach up to $60 billion in the next five years, if the issue went unnoticed.
The imports from China had increased up to 18.18 per cent to $55.77 billion, while exports had declined up to 18.88 per cent to $11.01 billion, reported the Commerce Department.
"The Prime Minister will make a strong pitch to reduce the deficit in case there is a future for India-China trade relations, this issue needs to be sorted out'," said the Commerce secretary Rajeev Kher.
"The approach requires a three-pronged strategy; seeking effective market access from China in specific areas of India's strength, channeling Chinese investment into Indian manufacturing and jointly investing in third world countries," added the Commerce secretary during the three-day session of Global Exhibition in Services.
Kher also said that, "China has expressed interest in setting up industrial parks in the country. It has to be ensured that these fructify on time, because the more investments get delayed, the wider the trade deficit will get."

USA: "Grow Houses" on the advance
Observing the world of cannabis
USA: Police say 'grow houses' have proliferated because they offer privacy
and move growers closer to their markets. Raids on 40 houses in 12 suburban Georgia counties over the past two weeks are one recent sign of what police say is a national trend in marijuana marketing: growing the illicit crop year-round indoors,
using suburban homes as "grow-houses." Grow-houses - a spacious incarnation of the old grow-room – have proliferated like suburban-garden gnomes, as antidrug squads have chased growers off remote mountainsides and out of cornfields. In
these basements, lights hum with thousands of watts across a sea of plants lodged in a hydroponic soup of nutrients. Upstairs, there's usually no furniture, police say, except a cot, a chair, and a rabbit-ear TV. "It's the most impressive thing I've seen in 20 years of law enforcement," says Lt. Jody Thomas of the Fayette County Drug Taskforce.
USA: "Grow Houses" on the advance
USA: "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" goes to the Supreme Court.
On Jan. 24, 2002, at Juneau-Douglas High School (Alaska) Joe Frederick and friends unfurled a 14-foot paper banner with duct-tape letters reading "Bong Hits 4 Jesus". They were standing on a sidewalk opposite the high school during a public Olympic-torch parade attended by students and teachers. The phrase, which they'd spotted on a snowboard sticker at a local ski slope, was meant to be funny, provocative and nonsensically ambiguous, Frederick said. To school officials, it was an open challenge to their anti-drug policies, at what they deemed a school event. Principal Deborah Morse crossed the street and crumpled up the banner. Frederick's move -- and the school's stern response -- had more impacts than he ever imagined. The incident gave way to his suspension from school, several arrests by Juneau police, a lawsuit against the city settled in his favor, the loss of his father's job and, eventually, the departure of father and son from Alaska and the United States. It also resulted in a court case, Morse v. Frederick, that has climbed through the federal system and will be up for oral argument
in the Supreme Court on March 19. Frederick, now 23, still sounded like the defiant student existentialist Friday in a teleconference from China, where he is teaching high school English. "I wanted to know more precisely the boundaries of my freedom," he said when reporters asked why he'd raised the banner. "I feel that if
you don't use your rights you lose them."
UK: Expert Commission calls for total overhaul of UK drugs legislation.
Britain's antiquated laws have failed to control the rapid spread of drug use over the past 30 years and should be replaced with a system that treats users as victims rather than offenders, the Government has been told. A two-year survey of drug use reached the damning conclusion that the current legislation is "not fit for purpose", failing to recognise that alcohol and tobacco can cause more harm than "demonised"
substances such as cannabis and ecstasy. The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce Commission on Illegal Drugs said current laws were "driven by a moral panic" and one of its members warned that increasing numbers of primary school children were experimenting with drugs. The commission, which included academics, community workers and politicians, demanded the abolition of the Misuse of Drugs Act, to be replaced with a broader Misuse of Substances Act. It believes the system of dividing drugs into A, B and C categories
should be swept away in favour of an "index of harms", recognising the damage that different substances do to users and society as a whole. Under one possible ratings system, heroin, cocaine and barbiturates would be rated the most dangerous drugs. Alcohol (5th) and tobacco (9th) would be treated as more hazardous than cannabis (11th), LSD (14th) and ecstasy (18th). In a proposal that would effectively decriminalise cannabis, it said jail sentences should be reserved for the most serious drugs offences. It said current classifications for ecstasy and LSD - both class-A substances - lacked credibility.
UK: Cannabis granny to fight on.
A grandmother who "self medicates" with cannabis to ease her depression has vowed to continue to use the drug in defiance of a judge's jail warning. Patricia Tabram, 68, walked free from court despite a jury taking only 15 minutes to convict her of growing and possessing cannabis, but she was ordered to carry out 250 hours community service and pay UKP1,000 costs. It was her second drug conviction after she was given a suspended jail sentence for supplying cannabis in curries, casseroles and cakes which she distributed to other elderly and infirm people near her bungalow, in Humshaugh, Northumberland. Police and the Crown Prosecution Service backed the decision to take her to court and she was warned she will be imprisoned if she continues to flout the law. But Tabram said: "I am still going to medicate with cannabis. This court is not fit for purpose and I am taking up an appeal and putting in a complaint about the fact I was not allowed to have a defence. The law and justice do not exist in this country any more." Flanked by well-wishers, said she would continue the fight and was prepared to go to jail.

Viva Cristo Rey
Viva Cristo Rey is a two-act play by Cathal Gallagher and Fred Martinez and was produced by The G.K. Chesterton Theatre Company in 2011 in Los Angeles and directed by Angel Duran.
In Mexico in the 1920's, religion was suppressed. People were forbidden to worship freely. Severe penalties, from imprisonment to death, were imposed for clandestine worship. Although the repression was widespread, the world took little notice. A veil of silence descended.
Into this turmoil entered an unassuming, guitar playing Padre. He set out to minister to his flock, going from house to house, pursued by government agents. In a very short time he would become a world wide figure. His name was Miguel Pro.

Financial markets were supposed to know better. They were supposed to be near-perfect processors of information and assessors of risk. They were supposed to be steering us toward a more prosperous, less economically volatile future. Then they failed, spectacularly. Justin Fox's The Myth of the Rational Market tells the story of how we came to believe that financial markets knew best, and how that belief steered us wrong. Chronicling the rise and fall of efficient market theory and its century-long role in the making of the modern financial industry, the book is both history and intellectual whodunit. It brings to life the people and ideas that forged modern finance and investing, from the Great Depression and into the financial calamity of today. It's a tale largely about professors, but professors who made and lost fortunes, battled fiercely over ideas, beat the house in blackjack, wrote bestselling books, and played major roles on the world stage. It's also a tale of Wall Street's evolution, the power of the market to generate wealth and wreak havoc, and free-market capitalism's recurrent war with itself.
The efficient market hypothesis—long part of academic folklore but codified in the 1960s at the University of Chicago—has evolved into a powerful myth. It has been the driver of trillions of investing dollars, the inspiration for index funds and vast new derivatives markets. In its strongest form, the theory holds that the decisions of millions of investors, all digging for information and striving for an edge, inevitably add up to rational, perfect markets. That belief has crumbled.
Celebrated journalist Fox introduces a new wave of scholars who no longer teach that investors are rational or that markets are always right. Many now agree with Yale professor Robert Shiller that efficient market theory "represents one of the most remarkable errors in the history of economic thought." Today the theory is giving way to new hypotheses of market behavior growing out of psychology, physics, evolutionary biology—and even traditional economics. In his landmark intellectual history, Fox uncovers the new ideas that may drive markets in the century ahead.
The Myth of the Rational Market is all done, and headed to the printer. The publication date is June 9. I'm planning to revamp this space soon as a full-on book site. But until then, enjoy the spätzle.

Q: PHP session failed
File1.php

Here my php session is getting failed. I can't use my session variable 'username'.
$count = mysqli_num_rows($authentification);

    if ($count==1) {
        session_start();
        $_SESSION['username'] = $username;
        header("location: home.php");

        }
        else {
                echo"";
                header("location:portal.php");

        }

Here it's another file where i continued my session

file2.php

session_start();
$username=$_SESSION["username"];

if($_SESSION["username"]){
    echo $output = "

\t
Bonjour $username, nous sommes le ".date("d-m-Y").", il est ".date('H:i:s').".

\r\n
";

}else{
    echo"Session failed";
}

when i see on the browser it shows "session failed". Can you please tell me what is missing. I am new beginner in php

A: Do not start your session in an if condition. Start it at the top of your file. If the $count is not 1, then you do not start your session.
NOTE: And add an exit; after the header("location:portal.php");, and before the header("location:portal.php"); do not create output with echo

A: I've got this behaviour when working on Mac Os Safari  browser. I used this code to get it work:
$currentCookieParams = session_get_cookie_params();
session_set_cookie_params(86400,$currentCookieParams["path"], $currentCookieParams["domain"],
true, // cookie_secure
true  // cookie_httponly
);

You have to put it before session_start();
86400 = 1 day session lifetime

A: Start your session at the very top of your file before writing any other code, like you did in the second example
session_start();
$count = mysqli_num_rows($authentification);

    if ($count==1) {
        $_SESSION['username'] = $username;
        header("location: home.php");

        }
        else {
                echo"";
                header("location:portal.php");

        }

A: I guess the second session_start() in your second snippet is causing the $_SESSION array to be reset.


A slip, trip, or fall that causes serious injury does not always warrant litigation, even if you are on someone else's property. But litigation might be in order when a person trips or falls as a result of hazardous conditions, and the property or business owners could have reasonably prevented the accident through various safety measures.
Do I have a slip and fall case? Slip and fall accidents can arise when property owners fail to keep the premises safe and secure for visitors.Many of these accidents happen in restaurants, businesses, and other public places, and can be caused by poor or insufficient lighting, worn or damaged floors, slippery substances, and other obstacles in walking areas and more.
How do I prove a slip and fall claim? Keep in mind that the extent of your own carelessness in the accident will be evaluated in a case to determine whether the property owner can really be held liable for the resulting damages. Distractions like talking on a cell phone, ignoring or disregarding warning signs, and being somewhere you shouldn't have been, could all be indicators of personal carelessness. When proving your claim, we will discuss these issues and more to help you strengthen the validity of your slip and fall case.
Proving a slip and fall accident wasn't your fault can be difficult. You must be able to prove the business or property owner neglected to provide sufficient safety or warning measures, or knew about the danger and neglected to resolve it. You must also prove that you are not responsible for the accident.
It is important to hire an experienced injury attorney to prove that the property owner was negligent by failing to keep their property free of hazards. After thoroughly evaluating your case and analyzing the facts and circumstances of the accident, our slip and fall attorneys in West Palm Beach will be able to determine what your case is worth. We will help you recover damages for medical costs, past and future lost income, pain, and suffering, and any other losses sustained after a slip and fall accident.
If you or someone you know is injured in a slip and fall accident, please contact one of our Florida slip and fall lawyers today.
At Lytal, Reiter, Smith, Ivey & Fronrath, we do everything we can to make complicated legal issues as simple as possible. We offer several options for learning more Florida slip and fall claims.

Nigeria's Power Problem
By Mark Gongloff
Oct. 30, 2007 2:12 pm ET
Obafemi Oredein has this report on how a major oil-producing nation is struggling to keep the lights on:
Nigeria, Africa's largest crude oil producer, hasn't got enough money to fund energy projects that would increase electricity supply to its citizens, a presidential spokesman said. Olusegun Adeniyi said this week that investors would be called in to invest in the energy sector.
Gas flares in Nigeria (AP)
Nigeria's energy generation capacity is one of the lowest in the world. President Umaru Yar'Adua has made the provision of adequate power one of the priorities of his administration.
Ransome Owan, chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission said Nigeria requires investments of three trillion naira (about $24.8 billion) in the energy sector to provide adequate electricity for the country. "Experts tell us today we can use up to 14,000 to 15,000 megawatts, but our capacity to generate is about 4,000 megawatts," Owan said.

Venus and the Pleiades: A reflection on women in landscape architecture
Almost seven years ago, landscape architect Hilary Hamnett reflected on her career and the influential yet understated history of some key women in the profession. Delivered as part of Adelaide's 'Women with a Plan' forum, Hamnett offers a deeply felt message for International Women's Day.
Hilary Hamnett
Multiple sources
It's not an original observation, but everyone's career develops along a unique professional path, with all sorts of factors influencing it to turn in one direction or another. My path has perhaps been one of what I would call presence rather than prominence in the design professions, and in particular landscape architecture. However, it's the balance of the two and the importance of both that I would like to focus on, illustrating this with women who have affected our lives, practice or vision either by more overt prominence or, less obviously, by more covert actions and presence.
Landscape architect Hilary Hamnett FAILA
I studied Landscape Architecture in the UK in the early 1970s. At that time two of the most prominent people in the profession were Dame Sylvia Crowe and Brenda Colvin, CBE, both women who pioneered the practice of 20th century British landscape design. Both were also instrumental in establishing the British Institute of Landscape Architects in 1929 (now called the Landscape Institute). Brenda Colvin, the now less well remembered of the two, was not only its first woman president but the first woman president of any environmental or engineering professional institute.
These two inspiring and visionary women, directly influenced at least two generations of design professionals, and indirectly continue to influence anyone who engages with the places that they designed. Both were forerunners in designing large-scale industrial landscapes and Brenda Colvin, in particular, had a natural affiliation with the new discipline of ecology, believing, with great foresight, that "land, water and air form the matrix of life on earth and landscape is the form in which we see them". She studied and used naturally occurring plant communities as a foundation for her work. Brenda frequently did the planting designs for the third most prominent landscape architect of the time, Geoffrey Jellicoe, as he would boast that he didn't know any plants at all. Many subtexts can be inferred from that.
Brenda Colvin frequently did the planting designs… for Geoffrey Jellicoe, as he would boast that he didn't know any plants at all. – Hilary Hamnett
I now want to jump from the beginning of my career as a landscape architect to as recently as last Sunday – Mother's Day. I was given a copy of Remembered Gardens by Holly Kerr Forsyth, who people may know from her columns in the Weekend Australian. The book explores the work and stories of eight women from 1788 to 2000 whose passions for garden making have shaped our relationship with the Australian landscape. It begins with Elizabeth Macarthur, and her experience coming from the rich, romantic tradition of the English landscape to the harsh realities of early colonial Australia; moves on to a chapter, as one might expect, on Edna Walling – another remarkable and highly influential woman – and ends with Kath Carr whose life, like that of Sylvia Crowe and Brenda Colvin, spanned the 20th century.

'At the end of the little track running off beyond the terrace, through the trees we looked down at Grassy Creek' (1947). Image: SLV.
And we must mention Kath Carr. Who is Kath Carr you may well ask. Until opening Remembered Gardens I, like many people, had never heard of her. She wrote very little, hardly ever drew plans and her notebooks, sketches, correspondence and treasured books and papers were disposed of when she moved into a retirement home.
But as a disciple of Edna Walling, Carr nevertheless evolved an independent "vision of what an Australian garden could be". She drew inspiration from the natural landscape and worked with the available materials and plants that emerged from and survived in the local climate to express each individual place. She never repeated her designs from one commission to the next, and always drew fundamentally from the unique context of each project.
Kerr Forsyth writes that, through her reticence, Carr is not widely known but lives on through the memories of her clients, the notebooks that she encouraged them to keep, and the enduring qualities of the properties and gardens she created.
Invisibility can be frustrating, but influence by stealth is something that many women, encounter or employ in their work to achieve a result. – Hilary Hamnett
Another aspect contributing to the lack of awareness of Kath Carr is the intangible, understated and ethereal nature of the designs, making it difficult to put a precise definition on how or why the landscapes work. This quality is something that occurs not only in landscape and other areas of design but many of the creative arts such as writing and music. In literature it has been referred to as the clear pane of glass through which new ideas are effortlessly transmitted. When we meet with barriers as a result of careless, thoughtless or poor design we become frustrated and defiant; where intensive thought, research and refinement has removed these barriers and pared the design back to its apparently simple but effective form the hand of the designer becomes, effectively, invisible.
This invisibility can be frustrating, but influence by stealth is something that many women, especially, encounter or employ in their work to achieve a result.
'Remembered Gardens' by Holly Kerr Forsyth tells the stories of eight Australian garden designers.
As an example, my first job after graduating from the Landscape Architecture programme was with the newly created Rijnmond Planning Authority in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. I was working with State Planning designers and public artists on a large scale regional recreation project and had to attend regular meetings with the design team, elected members and representatives of the Nature Conservation Association. It seemed to me essential that I learnt Dutch, even though most people in The Netherlands speak excellent English. But to be able to follow the discussions, I insisted that they only spoke to me in Dutch, which was quite a struggle at first but I think paid off in the end.
At one meeting there was a long discussion about how the work was to be tendered and, without going into too much detail, I managed to get a word in and suggest that it was done under two separate contracts for two stages. The suggestion was passed over pretty quickly and the discussion continued back and forth for some time. As the meeting was drawing to a close one of the engineers suggested that the works were tendered as two separate packages – and everyone was amazed, and thought what an excellent idea, if only they had thought of it earlier.
Maybe it was my Dutch, but it was not the last time that I've had this type of experience, especially where I have been the only woman in the room. On another occasion, having carefully considered the layout of a caravan park for a private owner operator, the client took one dismissive look at the plan and said "my 8 year old could have drawn that". I would love to have sat down with the 8 year old and seen what they came up with. Perhaps the client was right, but not, I think, in the way he intended.
We need to recognise that there are many different strategies for influencing and contributing to our professions, and diversity, along with a bit of self esteem, are what we should strive for. – Hilary Hamnett

As individual designers, we need to recognise that there are many different strategies for influencing and contributing to our professions, and diversity, along with a bit of self esteem, are what we should strive for. We need prominent leaders who can inspire and attract others both within and outside the profession, who can promote our professions through senior management positions and good use of media as well as through their work. But at the same time, the variety of life experiences we bring, and the less obvious, incremental changes made by working as individuals or in collaboration, are every bit as important. It is vital to sow the seeds of ideas where and when we can.
"When Venus joins them in conjunction, it will look like a supernova has gone off inside the cluster. Strangely, though, the Pleiades do not look puny in comparison, just delicately beautiful" – Dr Tony Phillips NASA @spaceweatherman
The planet Venus is often visible in the western evening sky and, when viewed in conjunction with a crescent moon, has a dynamism and tension that I, at least, find quite spellbinding. Venus is the second brightest natural object in the night sky and so dazzling, in fact, that it can cast faint shadows. Last month, as it does every eight years, Venus passed directly in front of the constellation of the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters. This cluster of young stars is so elusive that it is barely visible with the naked eye, yet it has been the source of countless myths and legends and the basis for cultural practices across the blue planet. One commentator of this recent event, Dr Tony Phillips from NASA, said "When Venus joins them in conjunction, it will look like a supernova has gone off inside the cluster. Strangely, though, the Pleiades do not look puny in comparison, just delicately beautiful."
I think it's a wonderful analogy for our various roles as women in the design professions (and elsewhere too) even to the extent that each is enhanced by its relationship to other bodies.

RSS Report: Next-gen Mini could sire 10 different models including PHEV
By Ringo64, October 12, 2013 in Auto News
Filed under: Budget, Hybrid, Performance, Mini, Electric, Diesel, Luxury
The first generation of the reimagined, BMW-backed Mini was a simple things, confined to two body styles - hatchback and four-seat convertible. It wasn't until the second-generation platform came along that Mini began truly expanding, offering a long-wheelbase model, a roadster, a coupe, a five-door crossover, and a three-door, um, thing?
BMW is aiming for 10 to 12 different vehicles from just two brands off one platform.
According to an interview between Automotive News Europe and the BMW board member that oversees Mini, Peter Schwarzenbauer, the funky British brand will be expanding far beyond the seven body styles it currently offers. "With the new ULK architecture, we currently have in mind eight to 10 models," Schwarzenbauer told ANE. That architecture he mentions, will also underpin the BMW 1 Series GT and the BMW X1, meaning that BMW is aiming for 10 to 12 different vehicles from just two brands off one platform (and that's only what we know about).
The growth in the Mini line isn't just limited to body styles, but overall production capacity, adding a new contract manufacturer in the Netherlands, with Schwarzenbauer telling ANE, "If I told you [Mini's total production capacity] I would be revealing exactly what our growth plans are. What I can say is that last year we produced and sold 300,000 units and right now we are expanding that capacity."
Besides growth plans, Schwarzenbauer hints that Mini's range of three- and four-cylinder, turbocharged, gas engines may be joined by EVs, plug-in hybrids and the long awaited (for US customers) diesel model. The EV and PHEV models are especially notable, as it signifies both that Mini is ready to expand into alternative energy, which it's avoided outside of the Mini E, while also pointing out that BMW's i division won't be the only ones playing with electricity.
Closing out, Schwarzenbauer let slip some details of availability on the third-generation Minis, saying that while cars will arrive at European and US dealers in the spring of 2014, there won't be regular inventories until later in the summer. Head over to Automotive News Europe for the full interview.

Mini's are gross and I don't understand them
Minis are fun for what they are, just not worth the bloated price tags.
Not a fan of how their style but they are "rally" cars, or their predecessors were
I would rock a old mini cause they were actually mini! and cool!
They still rally race.

The U.S. House is expected to take up a bill this week that would cut SNAP by $40 billion over ten years. Every Member of Congress needs to hear that such an extreme proposal is unacceptable. Food stamps have had bipartisan support for decades. (See Stop Playing Politics with Hunger by former Senators Bob Dole and Tom Daschle in the Los Angeles Times as an expression of that bipartisan support.) But now, extremist Members of Congress want to slash SNAP and hurt millions of children and their families, seniors, and poor adults without children.
As your constituent, I urge you to vote against the extreme nutrition-only farm bill which would cut $40 billion from SNAP and deny assistance to 4-6 million poor people. This bill would be devastating to struggling Americans; by making more people hungry, it goes against many years of bipartisan support.
What's bad about this bill? A few points: the bill would deny SNAP to millions of poor, jobless adults without children whose income averages only about one-fifth of the poverty line – about $2,500 a year. It would also end benefits for a whole family if a parent is not working at least 20 hours per week, even if her/his child is only one year old, and even if unemployment remains high. And the bill gives states a REWARD for cutting off families – the state gets 50 percent of the reduced costs. Hundreds of thousands of children will lose free school meals. For decades, there has been bipartisan support for making sure that poor people can get the modest but vital SNAP benefits. You can help preserve a bipartisan majority that says that making millions hungrier is not what we want as Americans. And let House leaders know that they can't be so reckless with people's lives just to satisfy their most extreme members. Check out this op-ed from Ruth Marcus in The Washington Post for more information.

In John chapter 14, JESUS continues to teach HIS disciples in private. Here HE focuses on trying to encourage them to hold fast to the belief that HE has revealed to them exactly what GOD THE FATHER is like. In the Greek, the word New Testament writers use for "promise" is "epaggello" (ep-ang-el-ee-ah), and it is "an announcement of divine assurance of good".
John 14:1-3 is, arguably, one of the most beautifully written passages in, perhaps, the most beautifully written book, in all of Scripture. It comes in the form of a "divine promise", to those who believe in CHRIST JESUS. Here in this passage, JESUS, first, encourages, and then, makes a promise to HIS followers with these divine words; "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in GOD, believe also in ME. In MY FATHER's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would tell you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto MYSELF; that where I AM, there ye may be also" (KJV).
It is a promise that is made at a time when the cumulative weight of all the previous revelations that JESUS had laid on HIS disciples had begun to set in, and depress them. Remember, HE had already revealed to them that HE would go away, and, they would not be able to follow HIM (John 7:34, 8:21, 12:8 & 35, and 13:33). HE had also revealed to them that HE would die (John 12:32-33), and, that one of them would betray HIM (John 13:21). Furthermore, HE had already revealed to Peter that he would deny HIM, not once, but three times before daybreak (John 13:38). And also, that satan would be working against them (Luke 22:31-32), and, at that time, everyone of them would fall away from HIM (Matthew 26:31).
And so we see it is a statement that was much needed to try and comfort and allay the fears of what was about to befall HIS disciples in the very near future. It is said that a person's heart is at the center of their personality, and that, we must keep our hearts with all diligence. Our soul's sorrow is relieved when we trust in the word of GOD, and CHRIST says, if you trust GOD, trust also in HIM.
"I AM the WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE" is what JESUS said to a "doubting" Thomas in John 14:6. It is the sixth of JESUS' seven great "I AM statements" found in the Gospel of John. JESUS tells us plainly that if we have seen HIM, we have already seen GOD, and if we "know" HIM and "have" HIM in us, we already possess "Eternal Life".
And no matter how you look at it, in the final analysis, all man ever really seeks is a better life for himself and his family. He never seeks knowledge, just for knowledge sake, but rather, for what that knowledge can do to make his life more worth living. It is JESUS' claim, that obedience to HIM is the only true foundation that we can securely build upon. It is HIS contention that life through HIM is the only life worth living. No one can go to the FATHER, but by JESUS, because, HE alone, is "THE WAY" to GOD. In HIM, we see exactly what GOD is like. And only HE can usher us, into GOD's OWN glorious presence, without fear, without guilt, and, without shame.
Anyone who believes in CHRIST JESUS will desire to do the same work that HIS earthly ministry demonstrates to us that HE did. But JESUS says that we can do even greater works than HE did, and this is simply because many of us will have much more time on this earth than HE had. In addition, we are able to ask GOD for anything within HIS Will, and, in the name of JESUS, and HE will grant it, because all of JESUS' work during HIS earthly ministry, brought glory to HIS FATHER in Heaven (Vs. 12-14). And if we do the work of CHRIST JESUS, we too, will bring glory the SAME, our FATHER, WHO art in Heaven.


Hi everyone! It's been a minute since I participated in the Friday Five Linkup with Mar, Cynthia, and Courtney, but I wanted to participate today because the theme is "favorites"! If you read my blog you'll know that I'm injured, and that it's been quite the challenge getting me back to running again. I've been sort of sad this week and just generally feeling negative about everything, so in an effort to stay positive I've been thinking a lot about my favorite running memories. I've had some pretty awesome times in my running shoes over the past few years, and here are my top 5!
1. The Disney Princess Half Marathon: Specifically the mile where we got to run through Magic Kingdom, and the last 0.1 miles of the race when I finally realized I was going to become a half marathoner! I cried when I crossed the finish line! Because I love that race recap, you can read all about it here!
2. My half marathon PR: 5 weeks after Disney Princess, I ran the Love Run Half in Philly (recap here). I didn't know what to expect, but I ended up starting out fast – and keeping it up the whole time! I remember flying through the halfway point and realizing that I was on pace to reach my goal of 2:30. Despite some crazy rainy conditions which caused my bib to fall off like 5 times, I finished with a 19 minute PR. It's still my half marathon PR to this day! I will never forget how amazingly fast and strong I felt in this race.
3. The first race where I really felt like a real runner: I ran the Hershey 10k for the first time in 2013 and not only was it my longest race so far, it was my biggest race too. I'd never run that far with that many people and I remember being soooo nervous. But at around the halfway point something magical happened: we had spectators cheering us on, and because my name was on my bib they were cheering for me by name! I felt like a celeb as I ran through Hersheypark and was so happy to finish much faster than I'd planned. On the way home I remember feeling so happy about feeling like a real runner for the first time. That race will always have a soft spot in my heart!
4. My fastest race ever: I remember driving to the Corn to Run 5k in Delaware (recap here, that was such a fun throwback post to read!) and thinking "If you want to run fast, it's going to hurt" and just embracing the fact that I was going to have to push through the pain to reach my goal. And I crushed it! It's still one of my only sub-30 minute 5ks. When I crossed the finish line my husband kept saying "You did it! You were so fast!" and all I remember thinking was that I wanted to puke! But that was a seriously awesome race memory, and a reminder that I can have lots of fun during short races.
5. The time I raced at night and had way too much fun doing it: I ran the Twilight 12k here in Anchorage last summer (recap here) and I remember thinking that I loved training at night but had never had the chance to race at night to see if it was easier or harder. I ended up keeping up a super fast pace and found like 20 people that I knew out on the course! It was like a big party with all the runners in town and I have never felt so social in a race before. I've also never crossed a finish line screaming "Look how fast I am!" to my husband, so that's definitely memorable 🙂 But seriously, I came in at a much faster pace than planned and I learned that running with faster friends can really motivate you to push yourself out of your comfort zone and reach your goals!
Since these are all race related, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge a few non-race related running memories that I'll never forget: the first time I ran up that giant hill in Ridley Creek State Park, the time I ran in the sunshine at midnight during my first summer in Alaska, my first trail run, the first time I ran a sub-9:00 mile, and that last pain-free run that I did back in February. I know I'll get back to running again soon, and I can't wait to see what other amazing memories I'll make!
What are your favorite running memories? Are they all races like mine, or do most of your magical running moments happen on regular runs?
Aw, I love this! I did a post similar to it a few years ago, but now I obviously have more to add to the list. I think one of my favorite running memories will forever be crossing the finish of my first half (and also my first full marathon). I'll never forget those feelings!
So true! Those "first" races for each distance are so memorable! Except my first 5k, that was a hot mess and did not make my list 🙂 It did motivate me to run more races to make up for my totally crazy experience, and I definitely got bit by the racing bug!
Definitely most of my magical moments were at races. Coming in along the ocean at Smuttynose (and that lobster roll afterwards!), racing through Austin (which I'd moved away from 2 years previously after living there for 17 years), running the Vegas strip.
But probably the best memories are meeting up with runner friends in RL that I only knew online!
Oh I really want to run on the Vegas strip! And I totally agree about meeting runners in real life, I did that a few times last year and had so much fun!
This post is wonderful! I love reading reflective posts like this. Running a night race sounds awesome – one is definitely on my to-do list.
So far my favorite running memory is finishing the Baltimore Half Marathon by running through Camden Yards (where the Baltimore Orioles play). It was a huge adrenaline rush. I am running a 5K with my best friend who I haven't seen since October next month. It's only her 2nd 5K so I'm sure that will become a great running memory too!
You should come run the Twilight 12k in Alaska – it's at night but it's definitely not dark out! And that 5k sounds like so much fun! I love running with friends, especially ones that are new to running!
This is so fab!!!! 🙂 One of my favourite race memories has to be during my first (and only to date) full marathon in Fargo, ND. It was going horribly…my injury had really flared…and I kept running into these girls who saw me during a melt down at about mile six. They said "you need a hug and we want to know your name and we are going to look for you throughout the course so you can't quit." Every time they saw me they came to the side of the course, called me over and hugged me….it kept me going the next twenty miles. No joke. 🙂 And it turned a miserable experience into something immensely positive.
Awww that is amazing! It's so cool how supportive runners are, especially in races. I've definitely cheered on a few people who needed it, and I've had people cheer me on in tough races too!
So true! Disney races are seriously magical!
Wow what brought you all the way to Hershey??? I live nearby.
OMG that hill in Ridley Creek State Park is RIDICULOUS!! It NEVER ends! My absolute favorite running memory is from high school soccer when I completed the "120's" for the first time ever. I was SO SO SO proud of myself and so was my coach! I will never forget that.
No way, you know that hill? It's so tough! I used to work in Media so I'd drive over there after work and start in the parking lot by the waterfall, run up that thing, and then run the other 3.5 miles downhill back to the start. It was such a killer workout! It took me months to be able to run the entire thing without stopping though!
Awesome memories! I love my Disney races, too. My favorite memory would be at the 1st Tinker Bell Half. A lot of my friends were there, and we had such a good time!
That's awesome! Disney races are so much fun, I definitely want to run one with friends someday!
Running the Princess half was very memorable for me as well. It was my second half but it got me hooked on races and I did it the following three yrs. That was my sister's first half though so I know that holds a special place in her heart.
Really great memories. Those firsts are always the ones that hold a special place in our hearts !
So true! It's getting me so excited for my first tri next month!
I've never done a race at night but it's something I would love to do!
Great memories! 🙂 Mine are a mix… some are race memories, some are from random runs with run club or running buddies.
That's awesome! It's nice to have some good memories from training runs, it means that you never know when you're going to have an awesome run!
Those are some great memories! I hope you are making new ones soon! I push so hard during my races, I think most of my favorites are NOT races – except maybe Ragnar which is one big favorite!
Oh so true! That was almost on my list. Leg #3 was amazing for me – I couldn't believe that I'd really done it on so little sleep and actually had fun!

Progressive announces bid to challenge Susan Collins in 2020

GARDINER, Maine (AP) — Betsy Sweet, a progressive Democrat who ran for governor of Maine last year, has announced her bid to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins.
The former State House lobbyist announced her candidacy Thursday at Sebago Lake Distillery. In a statement, she criticized "the wealth, monied interests who gain from division" for sowing discord among Americans.
Her campaign website touts policy priorities such as "Medicare for All" and the Green New Deal, and pledges to avoid PAC and corporate money in the 2020 race.
Sweet placed third of seven candidates under Maine's ranked-choice voting law in the 2018 Democratic primary for governor.
After Collins voted to confirm President Donald Trump's Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh, progressives established a fund for the eventual Democratic nominee that's raised more than $3.8 million.

First and foremost, the most important thing to remember when you're learning is that it's supposed to be hard. You're learning a brand new career! Slicing into people's skulls does not come easily to brain surgeons when they're first learning, building houses does not come easily to contractors when they're first learning, and copywriting will not come easily to you when you're first learning. Not only is that okay, that's how it's supposed to be.
That said, though, you know that eventually you'll get better. And you want to get better faster. You want the secret to success. Ready for it?
The only way to improve your copywriting is to write copy. And to write a lot of it. And to incorporate the feedback you get.
I know: That sounds very simplistic and you're rolling your eyes at me, but bear with me for just a moment while I explain.
Here's the thing: it can be very scary to get work. Not just to go out and prospect for it, but even to get it actually assigned to you. You have to be willing to put yourself out there and, in essence, put yourself to the test. And very few people are willing to do that often and/or consistently.
But improvement comes with practice and practice comes with pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone. At some point or another, everyone worries that they're not good enough; it's just a fact of life. But when you let that fear keep you from doing the things you need to do to succeed, that fear becomes your life.
And the truth is that you're not going to ever experience a major "failure" in copywriting. There's work that a client isn't happy with. There are clients that don't renew your contract. There's even losing a job. But none of that is complete failure. They might be setbacks, but they're not failure.
But it's also not just about writing. You can write and write and write and write…and it can all be mediocre if you're not revising it based on feedback you get. Not all feedback will be good feedback—sometimes clients want to add in things that just don't work—but the feedback you do get from people worth listening to like your boss/creative director and astute marketing and product managers, that's the gold right there. Learning to incorporate feedback is the key to honing your writing.
That said, though, bonus points, too, if you're out there applying your critical eye to the world around you. As students in our Comprehensive Copywriting Academy can attest, I'm constantly encouraging them to read the ads they see around them and analyze how they're written. Is the benefit to consumer clear? Is the call to action clear? Are they writing in a way their target audience will understand? You'll learn a lot from both good ads and bad.
The key to improving is to get yourself out there in the world of copy. Write more of it. Polish more of it. And read more of it. Do it all consistently and you'll get better faster than you even expected.
Your turn! What habits are you going to undertake to keep improving your copywriting? Let us know in the comments below!
Each day, you should copy the words from 3 of your favorite Ads. By copying the words, you get an understanding of how the writer cobbled them together. This "writing practice" has allowed me to duplicate sentence structure and tone in my own writing. You are very right! Just like anything else, writing requires practice.
This is a good idea and I'll add one quick step before it: Copywriters should also do a careful analysis to make sure that it's actually an effective ad. (Does it make the benefit clear? Does it write to its target audience? Is the brand voice clear? and so on…) Sometimes the ones we react to as funny or interesting don't actually achieve their true goals!
But you're very right: It's important to learn from people who are already writing great ads.

Tourist tax in Valencia at stake
by Lorraine Williamson April 20, 2022
VALENCIA – The Valencian government parties PSPV-Compromís and Unides Podem are the initiators of the bill to levy a tourist tax in the region. However, this proposal has encountered considerable resistance from entrepreneurs in the tourism sector, and the tourist tax could now be at stake.
Thousands of signatures were collected against the tourist tax with the #noalatasaturistica campaign. This included businessmen, professionals, individuals, institutions, and companies from both the economic and social spectrum.
The majority of municipalities do not want to introduce tax
On Tuesday, Ximo Puig, president of the Generalitat, pointed out, according to EFE, that the tourist tax will be introduced "in practically no city" in the Valencian Community. "The vast majority of city councils have decided not to do this". In addition, these city councils have the backing of the president.
The real problem of the sector lies elsewhere
In statements to the media, Puig said it is necessary to "get over this situation which does not make sense". Because the "real problem" of the tourism sector is not this percentage of tax. Rather, the problem has to do with prices and how to return to the normalcy that existed before the pandemic. But, also to tap into new markets.
Voluntary base breaks up the initiative
The tax would not be charged voluntarily until late 2023 or early 2024. But that voluntary basis is now breaking the bill of the three parties. Each city council can decide whether or not the daily allowance between €0.50 and €2.00, depending on the type of accommodation, is applied.
Step down
The regional secretary of tourism, the socialist Francesc Colomer, even indicated he would resign if the tourist tax went through. He emphasised that he "doesn't know any mayor of his party who is in favour of the initiative".
The city of Valencia wants to introduce tax from 2023
The mayor of Valencia, Joan Ribo of the Compromís party, has already reacted to Puig's statements. "I think my group has reached an agreement with the government of the Generalitat. The project is being presented and postponed until 2023 maximum but no longer". He added that it is a tax levied by the "vast majority of European cities". And, furthermore, has no impact on the number of visitors they receive.
Visitors would pay for additional costs they cause
In this sense, Ribó emphasised the fact that neither the hoteliers nor the inhabitants of the city should pay the tax, but the visitors. "And it's reasonable, because they use services that we Valencians have to pay for, and if they don't pay for it, we have to do it ourselves," such as costs for security or cleaning.
Tourist tax in Mallorca is no problem
For this reason, the mayor would like the opponents of the tourist tax, such as Francesc Colomer, to explain more clearly why they are so categorically against the introduction of a tourist tax. Or that they will talk to the mayor of Palma de Mallorca, from the same party as the opponents, who does levy a tourist tax and where there is no problem.

It is best to trade when the markets are active and have high volatility, which occurs in the Forex market when two of the world's major exchanges are open simultaneously. The Time Zones overlay indicator visually displays these time periods on the chart. For example, many prefer to trade between the hours of 8:00 and 11:00 AM EST. This is because the London and New York exchanges are open simultaneously, providing a high level of activity.
Knowing which exchanges open also gives insight into which currency pairs will be the most active. Pairs involving a currency of the exchange's country or region will see higher volume and increased liquidity while that particular market is open. For example, USDJPY and EURJPY will trade actively when the Tokyo exchange is open.
Note: An intraday chart must be open for the Time Zones indicator to be displayed.
To open the Time Zones Preferences click on the QuickLink (TZone) in the lower right of the indicator window, below the indicator quick links. Time Zones is different as the different exchanges are displayed below the indicators. Or you can right-click, select Overlay Properties and then Time Zones. If you click on the chart, the Preference tab will go back to chart settings.

/Medical Marijuana: Florida For Care Forms Blue Ribbon Commission For Amendment 2
Medical Marijuana: Florida For Care Forms Blue Ribbon Commission For Amendment 2
Posted by Florida For Care 3sc on July 10, 2014
By Chris Joseph - With the vote on medical marijuana a mere four months away, a group chaired by both those who advocate and those who are opposed to medical weed has formed a Blue Ribbon Commission to provide research, expert opinions, and feedback on a wide range of medical marijuana issues.
Florida For Care says its purpose is to help formulate a medical marijuana "Gold Standard" for the state by holding several meetings between now and November throughout Florida to not only educate people, but to serve as a resource for state legislators as they seek to develop and support medical marijuana policies.
At a time when both sides are getting big money backers, Florida For Care says it's all about making sure things are properly regulated. That's why members for both sides if the issue are heavily involved.
The group is chaired by former Speaker and Amendment 2 author John Mills, who backs medical marijuana legalization, and vice chaired by state Sen. Alex Diaz de la Portilla, who opposes Amendment 2.
"We want to make sure the Blue Ribbon Committee sets up regulatory standards should Amendment 2 pass," Florida For Care Executive Director Dan Rogers tells New Times. "We're doing this by implementing three guiding principles: Ensuring patient access, having a robust regulatory system, and the promotion of a free commercial enterprise."
According to the group, the Blue Ribbon Commission is composed of legal and health experts, patient advocates, business leaders and government reps that will provide research and feedback and info on all things medical weed.
The bottom line for the commission is to get a detailed plan to make medical marijuana available for Floridians who need it should the amendment pass.
Rogers says the hope is to be the standard for all the other states in the U.S.
"We want the rest of the nation to look to Florida as the gold standard," he says.
For those who oppose the amendment, like Di az de la Portilla, the commission is about making sure the industry is properly regulated and running smoothly. If the amendment passes, Diaz de la Portilla wants to make sure it's implemented properly.
The commission plans to hold at least four open meetings across the state to discuss a regulatory standards template that they can eventually introduce to the public
Rogers says a first draft of that template probably won't be available until September.
Florida For Care is also looking to lead the way in helping law makers develop medical marijuana policies based on recommendations from the commission should the amendment pass.
And it would appear that the majority of Floridians are in favor of getting it passed.
In March, a University of North Florida poll said 74 percent of Floridians support and will vote "yes" for Amendment 2.
And in May, Quinnipiac University released a poll that found 88 percent of Florida voters support the amendment. All of this coming on the heels of Charlotte's Web, a low-THC strain of medical cannabis that helps children with epilepsy, passing the Florida Senate.
"We just want to make sure that a well-regulated medical marijuana system will be in place should the people pass the amendment," Rogers says.
