Canadian Regulators Open Door to More Robust Cannabis Market Growth

NEW YORK, July 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Canada made headlines in 2018 after it became the second country in the world to completely legalize adult cannabis use. Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was a strong advocate for legalization and ultimately, the country decided to pass new legislation and initiate legal adult-use in late 2018. However, despite Canada's legal market, the enormous U.S. market continues to cast a cloud over its northern neighbor, even though the U.S. has not yet moved to federally legalize cannabis. Instead, U.S. states are given the jurisdiction to legalize cannabis for either medical or recreational purposes. And as of June 2019, 33 states and the District of Columbia allowed the use of cannabis for medical applications. Moreover, 11 of those states, including the District of Columbia, have legalized adult recreational use. The U.S. adopted cannabis as early as the late 1990s when states such as California, Oregon, Alaska, and Washington were the first to implement a medicinal cannabis program. However, the industry was completely reshaped when Colorado and Washington legalized recreational cannabis in 2014. Throughout the beginning phases, legal cannabis sales were slow. For instance, Colorado reported total marijuana sales of USD 683 Million in 2014. But by the end of 2018, Colorado's legal cannabis market delivered revenues of USD 1.54 Billion, according to the Colorado Department of Revenue. Furthermore, Colorado is on pace to report another record-breaking year in marijuana sales for 2019. As of January 2019 to April 2019, the state had already reported sales of USD 522 Million. While Canada's market may seem minuscule in comparison to the U.S. market, it is still positioned to become a major global growth driver. Unlike the U.S., Canada has federally legalized cannabis, meaning that its market penetration is much greater, even as Canada's legal market still remains relatively new. Nonetheless, the market will continue to mature as the legal business progresses. And according to data compiled by ArcView Market Research and BDS Analytics, the legal cannabis spending in Canada was USD 569 Million in 2018. By 2024, the spending is expected to reach USD 5.2 Billion while exhibiting a CAGR of 44.4%. Canopy Rivers Inc. (OTC: CNPOF) (TSX-V: RIV), Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON), Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (OTC: CURLF) (CSE: CURA), Green Thumb Industries Inc. (OTC: GTBIF) (CSE: GTII)
Canada's initial legal sales could have potentially been much greater if there wasn't a barrage of legal barriers. For instance, the government limited the number of licenses that were distributed to cultivators and curtailed retail operating hours. These restrictions hurt businesses due to the rapidly growing demand which quickly began to outweigh the supply. Some provinces experienced severe shortages, which forced a few retailers to shut down their businesses. However, industry experts believe that the shortages could end sooner than anticipated. Brock University Professor Michael Armstrong expects shortages to halt by the end of 2019 due to the accelerating production rates. Armstrong cites data from 2017 and notes that production rates have drastically increased year-over-year. Moreover, he highlights that many producers have been stockpiling cannabis supply and are continuing to grow cannabis at a faster rate. Furthermore, Canadian provinces have been distributing additional retail licenses to create more brick-and-mortar and online channels for consumers. Certain provinces, including Ontario and Quebec, are unable to meet the demands of consumers due to the store to population density ratio. In particular, Ontario didn't open its first retail store until April, and only 25 store licenses have been issued as of May 2019, which equates to 0.2 stores for every 100,000 residents, according to the Globe and Mail. On the other hand, Colorado operates roughly 10 stores per 100,000 residents. Investment group, Altacorp highlighted that Ontario would need to add roughly 1,400 stores to meet Colorado's ratio. Nevertheless, provinces such as Alberta have already taken on an initiative to close the gap. Alberta provincial regulator said they plan to issue five new licenses each week, totaling 115 new cannabis store licenses in the next six months if supply steadily increases, according to Marijuana Business Daily. "The legal recreational cannabis market in Canada is in its infancy, and as such, a significant number of consumers will likely be first-time users without much knowledge of the different products and their effects," Altacorp said. "A well-developed retail platform allows customers to interact with knowledgeable staff and provide them with a holistic customer experience, which is essential to attracting first-time and existing users to the legal recreational channels."
Canopy Rivers Inc. (OTC: CNPOF) (TSX-V: RIV) is also listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker (TSX-V: RIV). Yesterday, the Company congratulated, "its portfolio company, YSS Corp.

Story About Chris Brown Saying Rihanna's Boyfriend Hassan Jameel "Isn't Good Enough" Is Made-Up
M Michael Lewittes
2:52 pm, January 7, 2018
A mere 24 hours after HollywoodLife was caught publishing a fabricated story about how Rihanna's boyfriend Hassan Jameel is "not a fan" of Chris Brown, the same untrustworthy site has made up another tale about how the rapper, in turn, feels the Saudi businessman "isn't good enough for her." Much like the first manufactured article, Gossip Cop has learned the outlet has again concocted another phony report, with bogus details about how Brown supposedly feels about the rumors Rihanna's engaged to Jameel. We're told no one "close" to Brown shared anything like that with the blog, which has been exposed on several occasions for posting fake news.
In its latest tall tale, the rightfully nicknamed HollywoodLies claims the "feeling is mutual" between Jameel and Brown and alleges to have the scoop about why "Chris doesn't like Rihanna's boyfriend." A seemingly fake "source" is quoted by the often discredited site as saying, "Chris thinks Hassan is not good enough for Rihanna." Almost comically, the same almost assuredly nonexistent "source" adds, "Chris just can't believe all the engagement rumors, he thinks there's no way Rihanna would marry this dude." The blog further writes, "While Chris thinks Rihanna won't marry Hassan, it should be noted that they aren't even engaged."
Of course, the untrue engagement rumors about Rihanna and Jameel were first spread by none other than HollywoodLife in early December. And just two weeks ago, the habitually debunked outlet published an article about how Rihanna hid her ring finger when she attended Jay-Z's concert in L.A. The reality, however, is Rihanna didn't hide her left hand in photos. She didn't have a diamond on because, as Gossip Cop was first to report, she's 100 percent not engaged to Jameel.
(HollywoodLife)
Regardless, the new cockamamie report comes on the heels of yesterday's fabricated story about how Jameel isn't a "fan of" Rihanna's ex-boyfriend because he thinks Brown is a "woman beater." As Gossip Cop noted, that's not "exclusive" nor a scoop. Everyone thinks Brown is a "woman beater" after he infamously assaulted and pled guilty to attacking Rihanna in February 2009.
As Gossip Cop has repeatedly proven, HollywoodLies simply makes up tall tales. More than seven months ago, for example, we busted the site when it published a totally fictitious article that claimed Rihanna was pregnant with either Brown or Drake's baby. In that made-up story, the blog asserted Rihanna didn't know who the dad was because she was "going back and forth between" the two men, but if it ended up being Brown's child, it "would actually work out pretty well" because they "have maintained a great (and flirty) friendship over the years." Of course, the Barbadian singer was never pregnant with either man's baby, and the outlet's contention runs contrary to Rihanna telling Vanity Fair two years ago about Brown: "We're not friends."
Irrespective of the outlet fabricating its story about Rihanna's current boyfriend Jameel not being a "fan of" Brown, and HollywoodLife's pattern of publishing fake news, Gossip Cop still fact-checked its latest claim. We're told the site's article is completely phony. An actual Brown insider assures us no one "close" to the singer is sharing this bogus information with that blog or anyone else.

THE WIELICZKA SALT MINE lies within the Krakow metropolitan area. The mine, built in the 13th century, produced table salt continuously until 2007.
The mine reaches a depth of 327 metres (1,073 ft) and is over 287 kilometres (178 miles) long.
The rock salt is naturally gray in various shades, resembling unpolished granite rather than the white or crystalline look that many visitors may expect.
During World War II, the shafts and galleries were used by the occupying Germans as an ad-hoc facility for various war-related industries.
The mine features an underground lake, exhibits on the history of salt mining, and a 3.5 kilometres (2.2 miles) touring route which is less than 2% of the total length of the mine's passages.
The mine's attractions include dozens of statues, three chapels and an entire cathedral carved out of the rock salt by the miners. The oldest sculptures are augmented by the new carvings by contemporary artists.
About 1.2 million people visit the Wieliczka Salt Mine annually.

CASIMIR III, a.k.a. Casimir the Great (Kazimierz III Wielki in Polish), was born on April 30th 1310 in Kujawy, Poland and died on November 5th 1370.
He was King of Poland from 1333 to 1370 and called 'the Great' because he was deemed a peaceful ruler, a 'peasant king' and a skillful diplomat.
Through his astute diplomacy he annexed lands from western Russia and eastern Germany.
Casimir encouraged economic activity and attempted to unite the country under one prince, one law, and one currency. He founded several new towns, two of them named 'Kazimierz' after himself, and gave them, together with already existing towns, the so-called Magdeburg Law, the privilege of self-government.
Casimir built more than 50 castles, fostered church building, and embellished the royal castle at Krakow. The former privileges extended to Jews were confirmed and improved.
Wishing to provide education for local lawyers and administrators he founded the Academy of Krakow (now Jagiellonian University) in 1364.
A sculpture in salt of Casimir III is featured here.
More mine chamber and salt sculpture items are to be found in Part 2.

In September, when I talked with the folks behind Chicago Commercial Collective about their remount of TimeLine Theatre's Julia Child play, To Master the Art, they said they'd soon be rolling out a midwest college circuit tour for some other Chicago shows.
With the exception of Crime Scene, which will have some new actors, all will feature their original casts.
Associate producer Benjamin Brownson is handling bookings for the tour, and is officially open for business. The college performances are intended to include talkbacks, workshops and other interaction with students.
The Collective recently moved into an office in the Fine Arts Building. Cofounder Brian Loevner says they're working on a possible Chicago show for the spring, as well as further opportunities for To Master the Art. That show (just their second effort—the first was a remount of Steady Rain), he says, had a successful enough run at the Broadway Playhouse to turn a profit for its investors.

Donald Trump Politics Roger Kimball US Politics
The 'adults' in the Trump administration are surprisingly childish
Mattis's petulant resignation fits a pattern
What Malcolm said of the Thane of Cawdor — 'nothing in his life/ Became him like the leaving it' — cannot be said of General James Mattis's leavetaking his position as Secretary of Defense.
Let me first say that General Mattis has long served his country with distinction, betraying immense care for the Marines and soldiers under his command as well as condign fierceness towards the enemies of civilization. As Secretary of Defense, he obliterated ISIS as a fighting force and has overseen the beginnings of a critical upgrade of America's military infrastructure, which had been allowed to atrophy under the lead-from-behind posturing of Barack Obama.
Like President Trump, I liked the fact that Mattis's nickname was 'Mad Dog,' though I understand he dislikes the soubriquet. After the America-last, apologize-first foreign policy of Obama, it was nice to have a Secretary of Defense with sufficient backbone to compliment the steeliness of a robust Commender-in-Chief such as Donald Trump.
At the same time, I remember several conservative friends expressing reservations about Mattis when his nomination for the post of SecDef was announced. He was, it was widely rumored, a Hillary supporter and, what's more, his view of foreign policy was much more in line with the Bush-Obama species of moralism than Trump's 'we'll-do-what's-in-our-national-interest' pragmatism.
So it was hardly surprising that rumors of Mattis's imminent departure have circulated at least since last summer. As the Trump administration matured and the President's policy of 'America First' (which does not, as POTUS perhaps neglects to point out frequently enough, mean 'America Alone') came increasingly on line in his foreign policy, it was inevitable that fissures between Mattis and Trump would open up.
Predictably, the neo-con fraternity has its collective knickers in a twist over Mattis's announced departure. Max Boot, who is always good for a laugh these days, epitomized the angst in some recent tweets. 'Jim Mattis is gone,' he said in one. 'God help America. And the world.' But then it has been obvious for some time that for Max the criterion of a good decision is that it was not taken by Donald Trump.
It should also be said that that even if the President and his Secretary of Defense were in perfect accord about things, it is hardly surprising that a Secretary of Defense should leave after two years. Indeed, by the time he departs, at the end of February, Jim Mattis will have served longer than the last three Secretaries of Defense: Leon Panetta, Chuck Hagel, and Ash Carter.
The sad thing about Jim Mattis's exit is his grandstanding, not to say petulant and immature, mode of departure. The letter announcing his resignation, circulated yesterday, is half bureaucratic boilerplate ('I have been privileged to serve,' 'proud of the progress,' etc., etc.).
But those nuggets are set in a jelly of snarky recrimination about how he, Jim Mattis, has always believed that our strength as a nation is 'inextricably linked' to our system of 'alliance and partnerships.' Further, he says we must treat our allies 'with respect' while remaining 'resolute and unambiguous' about 'those countries whose strategic interests are increasingly in tension with ours,' e.g., Russia and China.
You do not need an advance degree in hermeneutics to unpack the implications of such statements. 'I, Jim Mattis, am the adult in the room. I want to foster our partnerships with our allies — unlike some people — and I want to be tough with respect to opponents like Russia and China' — again, not stated but clearly implied, unlike some.
The implication is made all-but-explicit in the next paragraph which begins 'Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects…' Well, because of all this, I quit. In other words, I am the good guy who wants to reward our friends and stand up to our enemies, whereas you, Donald Trump, do not.
I think there is plenty of room for disagreement and shades of opinion about how the United States ought to conduct its foreign policy. I can understand how Donald Trump's heterodox behavior and rhetoric raises eyebrows among establishment diplomats. The President speaks a novel language most of us are unused to hearing among politicians. I believe that thus far he has been admirably resolute in his dealings with Russia and China while at the same time regularly reminding us that 'it would be a good thing, not a bad thing' to have good relations with both countries. I think that is true, notwithstanding the thuggishness of Putin and the neo-Maoist ambitions of Xi.
In any event, the larger point here is that Secretary Mattis's letter of resignation exhibits a petulance and smallness unbecoming a man of his distinction, accomplishments, and position. I was sorry to see it. Curiously, however, it was of a piece with the behavior of other former high-ranking officials in the Trump administration. The most conspicuous is Rex Tillerson, Trump's first Secretary of State, whose chief qualification for the job seems to have been that he looked the part. Since being abruptly fired, he has taken to sniping at the President publicly, an unbecoming and counterproductive habit. The takeaway, alas, is that many of the figures who were hailed as the adults in the Trump administration have turned out to be grandstanding partisans. In the aftermath of Mattis's resignation, the spigots of fake news are gleefully disgorging dire predictions of 'global chaos' and 'international shock waves.' The whole spectacle is childish and distasteful, and it reminds us that it is not always as easy to tell who are the real adults in the room as we might think.
An earlier version of this piece contained a reference to a screenshot of a column with a doctored headline that deliberately distorted Max Boot's position. The editors, alerted to the forgery, removed the reference. I apologize to Max for the error.
James Mattis

HomePilot LicenseType Rating
A type rating is a regulating agency's certification of an airplane pilot to fly a certain aircraft type that requires additional training beyond the scope of the initial license and aircraft class training. What aircraft require a type rating is decided by the local aviation authority. In many countries pilots of single-engined aircraft under a certain maximum weight (5,700 kg or 12,500 lb, typically) do not require a type rating for each model, all or most such aircraft being covered by one class rating instead.
Aircraft Type Ratings
After sitting a flight test that requires a new licence to be issued, pilots can have additional aircraft type ratings added to their new licence for no extra charge. Applicants must include a completed licence amendment form CAA24061/04, and photocopied evidence that the type rating has been issued and certified by a flight instructor in the applicant's pilot logbook, along with their licence issue paperwork.
When pilots gain a type rating for a single-pilot aircraft type, after the initial issue of their licence, they are now requested to fill in a type rating form so that the type rating can be added to their record in the database.
Pilots who have done this will automatically have any new type ratings added to their licence, at no extra charge, when they upgrade it, for example from a PPL to a CPL, or if they gain an Instrument Rating. Prescribed issue fees for the licence or prime rating are still payable.
If pilots wish to have type ratings added to their licence as a separate exercise from a licence upgrade or prime rating issue, then a licence amendment fee will be charged.
A type rating is a regulating agency's certification of an airplane pilot to fly a certain aircraft type that requires additional training beyond the scope of the initial license and aircraft class training. What aircraft require a type rating is decided by the local aviation authority. In many countries pilots of single-engined aircraft under a certain maximum weight (5,700 kg or 12,500 lb, typically) do not require a type rating for each model, all or most such aircraft being covered by one class rating instead. There are exceptions to this, e.g. under Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) regulations the piston version of the Piper Malibu does require its own type rating. In New Zealand and South Africa there is no class rating, each aircraft model requiring its own rating. Countries which have adopted the class rating system for small aircraft typically require additional training and license endorsement for complexity features such as conventional undercarriage (tailwheels), variable-pitch propellers, retractable undercarriage, etc.
Starting in 2006, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States requires co-pilots (second-in-command, or SIC) to have a 'SIC Type Rating' for aircraft requiring a crew of two, and otherwise requires a type rating to act as pilot-in-command (PIC) to fly internationally, or over international airspace. This is in order to remain compliant with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This is outlined in Code of Federal Regulations Title 14 §61.55 (14 CFR 61.55). Such a type rating is not required for operations completely within the United States. Obtaining a SIC Type Ratings is significantly less rigorous than obtaining a 'full' or Pilot in command (PIC) type rating.
An instrument rating is required for some type ratings.
In the United States some type ratings can be issued with a "Visual flight rules (VFR) only" limitation when the type rating checkride was conducted without Instrument flight rules (IFR) approaches or operations, but only VFR maneuvers and procedures. This is most typical in older aircraft (i.e. Ford Trimotor, N-B25, B17, etc.)

Americans feel coronavirus-fueled market panic will have lasting economic impact
Graeme BruceBusiness Data Journalist
Health & scienceBusiness & economy
March 09, 2020, 5:11 PM GMT+0
A Majority of Americans feel the recent stock market anxiety driven by coronavirus fears will have a lasting impact on the economy.
According to a survey taken of more than 7,000 Americans, more than half (56%) feel as though a recent drop in stock prices will have at least somewhat of an impact on the economy in the long term, with more than one in five (21%) saying it will have a strong impact.
On the flipside, roughly three in 10 Americans (31%) say recent stock market turmoil won't have much or an impact or no impact at all.
Following more than a week of market uncertainty, investors awoke on Monday March 9 to a plummeting Dow Jones and S&P 500 yet again. The latest sell-off even triggered a key market circuit breaker, which automatically halts trading for 15 minutes during sharp market declines.
In response to recent market unrest, the Federal Reserve pushed through an emergency rate cut on March 3 — the first it's done so since the 2008 financial crisis. On March 6, US Bureau of Labor Statistics also reported the economy added 273,000 jobs in February, results from before market fears set in.
The markets are responding to a number of fears, including supply-chain issues that have affected several industries, as well as an expectation that consumers will stay home and avoid shopping, events and travel.
Shortly before the Wall Street panic set in, recession fears among Americans tracked monthly by YouGov showed little change compared to recent months, with roughly one in five US adults (21%) saying they believe a major economic recession will arrive within a year (up slightly from 18% in January but in line with 21% in December).
Methodology: Total unweighted sample size was 7,050 US adults. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all US adults (ages 18+). Interviews were conducted online between March 5 - 6, 2020. For further information, please email pr@yougov.com.

Thousand Swords ist das zweite Album der polnischen NSBM-/Pagan-Metal-Band Graveland. Es wurde 1995 von Lethal Records veröffentlicht.

Entstehung
Das Album wurde im Dezember 1994 im Tuba-Studio in Breslau aufgenommen, wobei Grzegorz Czachor die Band beim Abmischen und als Toningenieur unterstützte.

Nachdem Graveland auf Grund von antisemitischen, rechtsextremen Aussagen von Lethal Records aus ihrem Vertrag entlassen wurden, veröffentlichte Darken das Album zunächst als MC auf seinem Label Isengard Production und hetzte im Beiheft gegen die angeblich jüdischen Plattenfirmen Osmose Productions, Lethal Records und Nuclear Blast. Darken wechselte später zu No Colours Records, auf dem ab 1999 ein Digipak erhältlich war. Weitere Neuveröffentlichungen folgten sowohl auf CD als auch als LP.

Im August 2014 wurde eine Rehearsalversion des Albums ohne Gesang und Keyboards unter dem Titel Resharpening Thousand Swords auf Kassette veröffentlicht.

Gestaltung
Das Cover zeigt eine von Raborym aufgenommene Schwarzweißphotographie von Darken im Wald, der Corpsepaint, Schwert, Schild und Rüstung trägt.

Musikstil
Mit Thousand Swords geht die Band stilistisch in die Richtung ihrer späteren Pagan-Metal-Alben, die Veröffentlichungen stellt ein Zwischenglied zwischen dem vom skandinavischen Black Metal inspirierten Stil der frühen Graveland-Veröffentlichungen und dem Stil des Nachfolgers Following the Voice of Blood dar.

Das Album beginnt mit einem "hymnischen" Intro aus einer verzerrten Gitarre zu einem beständigen Tomtom-Rhythmus, begleitet von einer akustischen Gitarre; das Intro geht fließend in das erste richtige Lied Blood of Christians on My Sword über. Auf dem Album werden immer wieder Folk-Elemente eingesetzt, die je nach Besprechung als subtil oder als über einen Großteil des Albums anstelle typischer Metal-Riffs eingesetzt und damit gegenüber Ähnlichkeiten zu Burzum und Bathory dominant bezeichnet.

Die Gitarren rücken im Klang des Albums stark in den Hintergrund. Der Gesang ist ein durchgehend gleichbleibendes Krächzen. Am Schlagzeug werden neben aggressiven Passagen Rhythmen eingesetzt, die an das Galoppieren von Pferden erinnern.

Texte
Die Liedtexte handeln von Schlachten gegen die Christen und weisen patriotische und heidnische, aber keine offen rechtsextremen Bezüge, wie sie ab etwa 1994 von Darken und Capricornus offen vertreten wurden, auf.

In den Liner Notes findet sich jedoch ein Text Darkens mit entsprechenden Inhalten; in diesem bezeichnet er sich als "schwarzen Druiden der Dunkelheit" und "Krieger des neuen Äons" und prangert die Dämonisierung der heidnischen Gottheiten und die Zerstörung ihrer Tempel durch die Christen an; diese hätten sein Vaterland für Ausländer geöffnet, die ihr Blut mit dem der Polen gemischt hätten. Darken fordert die Enthauptung des Papstes, einen Anführer, der die Heiden unter dem als "Kreuz mit gebrochenen Armen" bezeichneten Hakenkreuz vereinigen soll, Rache für die durch die Christen getöteten Heiden und die Verteidigung der südlichen Grenzen gegen die "schwarze Seuche" und den "Halbmond", womit er schwarze und muslimische Einwanderer meint.

Kritiken
Das Album gilt einerseits als Klassiker von Graveland und als beste Veröffentlichung der Band, wurde allerdings mitunter aufgrund der Ideologie nicht besprochen.

Alex Donks bezeichnete Thousand Swords als sehr experimentelles und konzeptuelles Album, als "besten Ausdruck des heidnischen Geistes im Reich des Black Metal" und als möglicherweise beste Album im Black-Metal-Bereich überhaupt. Der kontinuierliche Einsatz genuiner Folk-Melodien verleihe dem Album eine enorme Kraft, das Werk der Musiker transzendiere "bloße Musik". Mit dem Einsatz sich wiederholender Leitmotive, narrativer musikalischer Bögen und dramatischer Progression höre man nicht bloß ein Lied, sondern eine musikalische Geschichtenerzählung; damit sei das Album Richard Wagner näher als jeglichem Metal. Indem das Album Riffing, Schlagzeugspiel, Liedaufbau und Produktion, wie sie im Black Metal üblich sind, nahezu vollständig verwerfe, sei es "bahnbrechend".

Kyle Ward von Sputnikmusic hingegen rät von Thousand Swords ab. Ihm zufolge scheint das Album bei objektivem Hören "kaum mehr als unterdurchschnittlicher Black Metal mit einigen wenigen interessanten Momenten" zu sein. Darkens schiere Missachtung gegenüber Songwriting und musikalischem Können sei selbst für rohen Black Metal beinahe erstaunlich. Darken sei uninspiriert und habe ein Album geschrieben, auf dem alle Lieder selbst bei genauem Hinhören praktisch gleich klängen. Ward mokierte sich über den Klang des Albums. Der einzige rettende Faktor seien die in den Liedern versteckten, leichten Folk-Elemente, und das Riff, das das Lied Blood of Christians on My Sword einleitet.

It is important for you to be careful with how you choose a dentist since how you do it will make you have an experience that is either pleasant or an unpleasant one. By that, your dental requirements may be affected and that can also make you not enjoy some good dental health. You can get a good dentist through choosing one randomly from a list of the local ones or from phonebooks. It is also possible for you to get some names of different dentists which are included in the list of dentists who can be found in your locality whereby you can choose the one you prefer the most. Since a dentist is someone who you will be entrusting with an essential part of your body, you should ensure that you pick one very carefully.
During the time when you are searching for a reputable dentist to engage is necessary for you to factor your needs. The dentist that you choose should be one with a good education in dentistry and also possess the right and up to date license in that field. You might need the additional services of a dentist with one more certificate as a doctor of dental surgery and dental medicine depending on the intensity of your need. You also need to factor the kind of dentist that you need depending on the problem that you might be experiencing such as a general dentist or one who is a specialist. You might need a dentist or a cosmetic dentist who is a specialist in specific cosmetic procedures such as teeth straightening and teeth replacement depending on your problem..
In case you decide to hire a general dentist, it is necessary for you to pick one who makes you feel comfortable when he is working on your teeth and also one that can be trusted. The dentist you select should also recommend to you a special dentist in case your case requires one. General dentists are well known for some dental hygiene procedures such as cleaning of the teeth, filling of cavities, identifying some specific problems that can easily be examined and managed and other common problems of the teeth.
It is very necessary that you always follow what your dentist is advising you before picking him as the one who is going to supply you with some teeth because with that you will experience some comfort while working with him or when he is working on your teeth. That should be the case with all the types of dental services that you might require without considering if it is a general dentist or a special dentist who might be recommended to you by a general dentist.

Village of the Damned (1960 film)
Village of the Damned is a 1960 British science fiction film by German director Wolf Rilla. The film is a fairly faithful adaptation of the novel The Midwich Cuckoos (1957) by John Wyndham. The lead role of Professor Gordon Zellaby was played by George Sanders. This film was #92 on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments. A sequel, Children of the Damned, followed in 1963.
A remake was released in 1995, also called Village of the Damned.
All of the inhabitants (including the animals) of the British village of Midwich suddenly fall unconscious, and anyone entering the village also loses consciousness. The military arrives and establishes a cordon. The pilot of an observation aircraft goes below 5,000 feet, loses consciousness, and the plane crashes. A five mile exclusion zone around the village is established for all aircraft. The military send in a man wearing a gas mask, but he too falls unconscious and is pulled back by a safety rope. The man awakens and reported that he had experienced a cold sensation just before he passed out. At nearly that very moment, the villagers regain consciousness, seeming otherwise unaffected. The incident is referred to as a "time-out," and no cause is determined.
About two months later, all women and girls of childbearing age who were in the affected area are discovered to be pregnant, sparking many accusations of infidelity and premarital sex. The accusations fade as the extraordinary nature of the pregnancies is discovered, with seven-month fetuses appearing after only five months. All the women give birth on the same day, and their children's unusual appearance is remarked upon: They have "unusual," "arresting" eyes, odd scalp hair construction and colour (pale blond, almost white), and unusually narrow fingernails. As they grow and develop at a rapid rate, it becomes clear that they also have a powerful telepathic bond with one another. They can tell each other anything that they see from great distances. As one learns something, so do the others.
Three years later village resident Professor Gordon Zellaby (Sanders), whose wife Anthea (Shelley) gave birth to one of the children, and who is linked to the military via his brother-in-law Alan (Gwynn), attends a meeting with British Intelligence to discuss the children. There he learns that Midwich was not the only place affected, and follow-up investigations had revealed similar phenomena in other areas of the world:
In a township in northern Australia, thirty infants were born in one day but all died within 10 hours of birth.
In an Inuit community in Canada, there were ten children born. Fair-haired children born to their kind violated their taboos, and all of them were killed.
In Irkutsk, RSFSR, the men murdered all of the children and their mothers.
In the mountains of the north-western Soviet Union, the children survived and were being educated to the highest possible level by the state.
Although only three years old, the children are precocious, being physically and mentally the equivalent of children four times their age. Their behaviour has become increasingly unusual and striking. They dress impeccably, always walk as a group, speak in an adult manner, are very well-behaved but show no conscience or love, and demonstrate a coldness to others. All of this has had the effect of most of the villagers fearing and being repulsed by them.
They begin to exhibit the power to read minds when expedient, or to force people to do things against their will. The latter is accompanied by a glow in the children's eyes. There have been a number of villagers' deaths since they were born, many of which are considered unusual (such as the drowning of an expert child swimmer), and it is the opinion of some that the children are responsible. This is later confirmed when they are shown making a man crash his car into a wall, killing him and then later (following an inquest concerning the crash wherein the children were cleared of responsibility) forcing his suspicious brother to shoot himself.
Gordon, whose "son" David is one of the children, is at first eager to work with them. With government agreement, he attempts to teach the children while hoping to learn from them, and the children are all placed in a separate building where they will learn and live. While the children continue to exert their will, Gordon learns that the Soviet government has used an atomic cannon to destroy the village containing their own spawn of mutant children.
Gordon compares the children's resistance to reasoning with a brick wall, and uses this motif as self-protection after the children's inhuman nature and motive become clear to him. He takes a hidden time-bomb to what he expects to be a session with the children, and tries to block their awareness of the bomb by visualizing the brick wall. David scans his mind, showing an emotion (astonishment) for the first time: "You're not thinking of atomic energy, you're thinking of ... a brick wall!" The children exert force to try to break down Gordon's mental wall to learn what he is hiding from them. They discover the hidden truth just a moment before the bomb detonates, consuming the building in flames as his wife and brother-in-law look on in horror.

Much ink has flowed over the work of master watchmaker Raúl Pagès — of the homonymous PAGÈS brand — and his tiny mechanical piece of genius that continues to fascinate and beguile. Made of 18k white gold, enamel, and a veritable constellation of sapphires and diamonds, The Tortoise Automaton crawls daintily, like clockwork, in a demonstration that brings an entire history back to life.
Practised as early as the 15th century when Leonardo Da Vinci created the fully functional Rosheim Knight, the art of automaton — mechanically driven animals or people — soared into popularity in the 19th century when wealthy patrons snapped up drastically refined specimens for entertainment. The period's fascination with birds, insects, and creatures of all kind is evidenced as much in the butterflied gowns and feathered-trimmed bonnets of Jacques Doucet as it is in the lavish textile designs of William Morris. This was not lost on the aristocracy's thirst for automata. Today, in the quest to redefine luxury, what has long been a lost art is in the throes of a renaissance.
Raúl Pagès is the child of Watch Valley, and horology runs through his veins. He obtained his degree in watchmaking early on, and reinforced that with a dual specialization in restoration and horological complications and construction. "I love the tradition of horology," he said, "and I am inspired while working with antique pieces." His love for the genre led him to spend six years at Parmigiani Fleurier's workshops, where he restored his first piece: a 19th century frog that hops and moves its hind legs. During that time, he also restored the unsigned Ethiopian Caterpillar from 1810 that can be attributed to Henri Maillardet and Jaquet Droz. But it was while working on the opulent Fabergé eggs that he fine-tuned his knowledge of automata.
The master watchmaker embarked on a journey of several years to create an entirely handmade and highly complicated mechanism composed of over 300 pieces that's endearingly lifelike. A mechanism similar to a watch movement is what enables the tortoise to move forward on carefully crafted claws, and the piece is adorned with hand bevelling, guilloche work, and Côtes de Genève. Local craftsmen were called in to engrave and enamel the azure blue and white gold shell. A symbol of longevity, wisdom, and perseverance — values that not only speak to the watchmaker himself but which he seeks to express through his work — The Tortoise is the first in a limited series of pieces that promises to be unique and exclusive.
The greatest challenge faced by Pagès was making the piece completely by hand, from conception to construction. Divergent from watch mechanism design, were there isn't a lot of freedom in how a mechanism is constructed, there are virtually no rules to follow on how to create a moving turtle. Pagès says it's a lot of trial and error. "When I first finished the Tortoise, it moved too slowly.
Something there is in every person that delights in mystery and wonder. Pagès tells us that in the days when he worked at Parmigiani, clients would come to see the caterpillar or frog they were working on. "You might be surprised but adults react to automata in much the same way children do! I would wind up one of the pieces with the key, and when I turned it on, all eyes lit up, all the faces were suddenly smiling. There is this strong feeling of delight that you don't necessarily find in watchmaking." He says it is what draws him to the craft. "With The Tortoise, the movement of the head is the thing that really makes it look alive," says Pagès. "The feet move pretty rhythmically, but it's the head that gives it that charm. It's magical." The Tortoise by Raúl Pagès has recently returned home after a long stay at the International Museum of Horology in La Chaud-de-Fonds, and is looking for a home.

The British International School Ho Chi Minh City (BIS HCMC) is an international school in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, offering a British style education. The school has three campuses located in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). A Primary campus, a Secondary campus, and an Early Years & Infant Campus. They are located in the residential area of District 2 (Thao Dien).  The British International School Ho Chi Minh City was founded in 1997 as Tiny Tots, a Kindergarten. Beginning with only two classes, two overseas teachers and 40 toddlers, it has since grown to become a private day school with over 1,800 students from 52 countries.  The Early Years & Infant Campus caters for students from the Foundation Stage (Pre-school) through to Year 2, the Junior Campus (Primary School) caters for children in Year 3 through to Year 6 and the Secondary campus caters for students from Years 7–13. BIS HCMC has 161 full-time teachers, most of whom are British qualified. BIS HCMC teaches a combination of the National Curriculum of England and International Primary Curriculum (IPC) for the primary students and students take both the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) examinations and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.  BIS is accredited through the Council of International Schools (CIS).  The school is a registered centre for the UK examination boards, Cambridge International Examinations.  It is also designated as an IB World School.  It is a member of the Federation of British International Schools in South Asia (FOBISIA) with the Principal Mr Anthony Rowlands currently holding the position of Chair of FOBISIA.

History
In August 1997, a pre-school named Tiny Tots was established in a villa on Nguyen Van Thu Street in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City - starting with just two classes, two teachers from overseas and 40 toddlers. Building on this success, a second pre-school named Fundino was soon established in District 3. The original Tiny Tots villa was extended in 2000 to accommodate 10 additional primary classrooms, bringing the total number of students to 300 children. This was the first year the school was officially called the British International School, with Marjorie Hunt being the first Head Teacher.

Two years later, a new Primary campus was built in the residential An Phu area of the city. Alun Thomas was appointed as Principal of the three campuses and enrolment reached 600 children. In August 2005, a purpose-built Secondary campus was opened on land very close to the new Primary campus in An Phu.

In August 2007, another new Primary campus was built on Tu Xuong Street in District 3, combining the Nguyen Van Thu campus and the Fundino campus into one new school. Mr Shaun Williams was appointed as Principal, and the school roll rose to 1,350 children, with ages ranging from 2 to 18.

In 2008, an extension to the An Phu Primary campus was opened followed by an extension to the An Phu Secondary campus in August 2010. These extensions provided additional classrooms and specialist facilities allowing the school to grow towards its projected target of 2,000 students.

In 2015, the British International School Ho Chi Minh City merged with Nord Anglia Education (NAE), a schools organisation located across China, Europe, the Middle East, North America and Southeast Asia.

In 2017, the Primary campus in Tu Xuong was closed due to budget deficits causing the two primary schools (Tu Xuong and An Phu) to be merged.

In 2018, BIS HCMC opened their specialist Early Years & Infant Campus facility down the road from the Junior and Secondary Campuses in District 2, closing the Tu Xuong Campus in District 3 and uniting the whole school community in one central location in Thao Dien.

Inter-school involvements
Inter-house sporting competitions and fixtures against other schools in Ho Chi Minh City occur on a regular basis as well as regional games.  The school is also involved in the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA), with sports and music.

BIS was the founding school of SAIMUN (HCMC Model United Nations).  SAIMUN is the only MUN conference held in Vietnam, and was established in 2009. In addition, BIS established and hosted the 1st Annual FOBISIA MUN 2010.

BIS is also the host of the annual ABRSM High Scorers' Concerts in Ho Chi Minh City, which feature the top 25 scoring musicians.

Richard Robert Harwood
Richard Harwood
Richard Robert Harwood, of Springfield, died at Villa Springfield Health and Rehabilitation Center in the early morning hours of Feb. 27, just two days after celebrating his 85th birthday.
Known to family and friends as Dick, he was born in Springfield on Feb. 25, 1929, to Robert Quincy Harwood and Ann Elizabeth (Howel) Harwood. He attended Springfield schools, and at just 16 years of age, he joined the U.S. Merchant Marines. Not long after, Dick joined the U.S. Navy, where he served as a Seaman First Class from Feb. 27, 1946, to Dec. 24, 1947. He was stationed aboard the USS Randolph, one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during World War II.
While in the Navy, Dick learned to bake. This became his career — and his passion. Upon his discharge from the service and using the GI Bill, he attended the prestigious Wilton School of Cake Decorating and Confectionary Art in Chicago. He used to say that he went there because he wanted to learn how chocolate-covered cherries were made! At the Wilton School, Dick learned many of the skills he would eventually utilize in his own bakery business. Around the time he returned home to Ohio after his time at sea, a group of Yellow Springs locals — Dr. Martin Cook, Mary Porter and Walter Anderson — started a deli in town in what is the current location of The Winds Winery on Xenia Avenue. They needed a baker, and Dick Harwood was their man!
Dick worked there for several years, eventually buying the deli and turning it into The Village Bakery— a Yellow Springs institution. He later moved the business down the street a few blocks to what is now the location of the Dunphy Real Estate office. The Village Bakery defined the term "scratch bakery," where everything is homemade and everything is fresh. The business was really the center of life at night in Yellow Springs. Many people in town, especially students at Antioch College, would frequently be found outside the bakery around 11:30 p.m., waiting for the first batch of Dick's hot, fresh doughnuts. Nothing tasted better. Dick called it an "oasis in the night" — and it was!
Dick was amazingly skilled. His hands would move at lightning speed as he rolled out and cut dough into pastries. His standards were high. He knew quality, and produced nothing but quality. From doughnuts and elephant ears to finely decorated wedding cakes — whatever Dick baked, it was the best.
After 17 years of continual operation, Dick closed The Village Bakery. He went on to work at Fulmer Supermaket in Xenia as a bakery manager and later for SuperValu as a bakery representative. He retired in 1988, due to back problems, but he always missed the work. Dick was proud of the business he built. He worked tirelessly — long, back-breaking hours of labor.
Baking wasn't Dick's only passion. Clara McNutt used to work for Dick in the bakery. Her daughter, Polly, was married to Jerry DeWine. One day, Clara told Dick that it was time for him to settle down, and she had just the right girl for him. And that girl was Jerry's sister, Elizabeth ("Mickey") DeWine. Dick took Mickey out on their first date in January 1961, and by September, they were married.
Dick and Mickey made their home in Xenia, where they lived for 40 years. They shared many wonderful adventures during their years together, and in September 2011, they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. For over five decades, they loved each other, and they took care of each other. Dick was a wonderful husband. He was also a wonderful father and grandfather. He loved spending time with his daughter, Rhonda, his granddaughter, Tiffany, and his great-granddaughter, Tiana. He was grateful for each one of them.
The Harwood family spent many hours together traveling to antique shows across Ohio, digging through dirty boxes to find treasured antique license plates. Dick collected them and was determined to find one from all 50 states — and he did! He neatly and proudly displayed each of them in his garage. Dick also enjoyed going to classic car shows with his family. He had a 1935 Ford that he helped restore. He loved that car. He would frequently drive it in parades and also to and from work every day. He taught both Rhonda and Tiffany how to drive in it. It had a one-blade windshield wiper, and if you were the passenger when it was raining, you got to help manually wipe that windshield!
Dick was a strong man. He was a great swimmer and boxer. He boxed in the Golden Gloves, once even sparring with Springfield native Davey Moore, who won the World Featherweight Title in 1959. Dick also had a soft side: he deeply loved animals. Squirrels and raccoons would come right up to him, and he would feed them right from his hand. He was rarely without a pet, having had a goat as a kid and later many dogs, including Bassett hounds and a blood hound. He loved them all, and especially adored his last dog, Lucy. Dick also loved his last pet: a mischievous, fanged cat named Cole.
Dick enjoyed traveling with his family, whether it was their first vacation to St. Louis or to visit Gatlinburg and the Great Smokey Mountains or to travel to Florida, as they did nearly every summer. When Dick worked for SuperValu, he traveled a lot, and would always bring a t-shirt back from wherever he was for granddaughter Tiffany. They had a special bond. Dick loved to take Tiffany fishing in Florida -— even if they didn't catch any fish. He taught her how to bake, and they loved to laugh together, as he would try to reduce large bakery-sized batch recipes down to smaller ones.
Dick had a great sense of humor. He loved to tell jokes and play practical jokes. Years ago, there was a man who worked for Dick at the bakery. He would take his shoes off at the front door so they wouldn't get covered with sugar glaze. When he finished for the day, he went to the front door and slipped his feet into his shoes. But, Dick had nailed them to the floor! He loved to laugh, and he loved to make people laugh. Dick shared laughs with many, especially with three dear friends who served on the USS Randolph. After his service in the Navy until he died, Dick remained close with Jerre Groff, from Lancaster, Pa., who served on the ship with him; John Crowell, from Ocean Springs, Miss.; and Tim Colvard, from Fort Payne, Ala. They were special friends.
Dick's health started declining in 2006. Though his eyesight deteriorated and his mobility diminished, he never gave up and never complained. He was always appreciative of those who helped him. His spirit remained bright and his sense of humor intact.
Dick Harwood was a fine man -— gracious, kind-hearted, fun-loving, generous and loyal. He will be deeply missed, but always remembered. Dick is preceded in death by his parents; his brother-in-law and sister-in-law Dick and Jean DeWine; and his brother-in-law Jerry DeWine. He is survived by his wife, Mickey; daughter, Rhonda (Roger) Burba; granddaughter, Tiffany Burba; great-granddaughter, Tiana Douglas; sisters Nadine (Lewis) Richards and Connie Harris; brothers James (Sharon) Harwood and Gary (Sharon) Harwood; sister-in-law Polly DeWine; Mickey's nephew Mike (Fran) DeWine and their children; three cousins; and several nieces and nephews. Dick's family would like to thank the staff on the skilled nursing wing at Villa Springfield for being so kind to Dick and for their compassionate care. They would also like to thank Jeanie Pollack, who helped care for Dick for many years. He adored her.
The family will hold a private burial at Clifton Union cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be sent to the Clark County Humane Society, 5201 Urbana Road, Springfield, OH 45502. Condolences may be expressed at http://www.littletonandrue.com

Rio Olympics 2016 Closing Ceremony
Watch Rio Olympics closing ceremony via OneVPN
The exhilarating events of Rio Olympics 2016 are coming to an end and it's time for the fans to see how Rio Olympics say goodbye with the upcoming grand ceremony. Lucky are the fans who'll get to see this event happening in the stadium and on their TV screens as its going to be a memorable one. Olympics come after every 4 years, start with a grand opening and end with a super-grand closing ceremony. Whatever this summer holds for this years' Olympics is not what anyone would want to miss.
What do we look forward to in the upcoming Rio Olympics Closing Ceremony?
Though we all are willing to watch Olympics closing ceremony for the exciting performances, good music and various speeches, it is not ALL that we are looking forward to. Here's what we are excited about:
Fireworks – wait till the sky gets colorful!
The ceremony is starting off with the most predictable; Fireworks. The fireworks are what almost everyone in the world loves. The beauty, the sound, the colours, and the look of the sky! Who doesn't love the fireworks, until they don't fire in the wrong direction of course!
Lights – did you know that the lights can dance?
Like the 2012s Olympics held in London, we are surely looking forward to a lights show. The colors after the fireworks in the stadium will really set the mood.
Music – some good music maybe?
Lights and fireworks are all good but what really gets you going is good music. Now, we are certain that there are going to be performers as without the performers, there's no real music, and when there's no real music, there's no real fun.
Dance – don't you want to see the Brazilians Move?
Dance, yeah! It would be great to see people performing something themed. Surely, fans are desperately waiting for the Rio closing ceremony with a bit of sadness because the Rio Olympics is coming to an end.
Performers – Who's stealing the show?
Like the London Olympics closing ceremony 2012, where there was Adele, One Direction, Spice Girls, and Rolling Stones, there will be some great performers too. This year at Rio, performances have been kept a secret however, Kygo the DJ with the hottest music acts in the world will be performing and pushing the beats to the dancing limits.
How do you plan to watch it?
For the online audience, it will be a hassle to watch as it won't be accessible everywhere. Obviously, you don't want to miss out on this grand Olympics 2016 closing ceremony, especially when Kygo is hitting the beats. Watching via OneVPN's Web TV is the best solution because OneVPN has set out a whole Guide to Watch Rio Olympics. OneVPN web TV will allow you to have complete access to channels which are broadcasting Olympics 2016 closing ceremony held at Rio Aug 21 at 8 PM local time.
