There are already many states in the country where the use of marijuana for both medical and recreational reasons is legal. This is the reason why there is now an increase in its demand. And this is also the reason why many weed dealers are increasing wherever you go. In these types of situations, scammers also thrive. For this reason, you need to be cautious when you buy your marijuana so that you don't fall prey to people who only want to rob you of your money. You enjoy many benefits if you buy your marijuana online.


"Ali had been very creative and focused in delivering on our marketing and social media targets.
Managing Director Po-Zu, Founder & Non-Exec Director of People Tree, Int. Speaker & Author of Slave to Fashion.
"Ali is a fabulous ambassador for independent and ethical brands – we've worked with Ali several times on various projects over the last few years, and would recommend Ali for her creative drive, imagination, enthusiasm and productivity.
She has been a great support assisting and guiding us in developing our Social Media style and presence through online PR; and networks comfortably with key influencers and likeminded brands to bring us to the attention of a wider market than that of our existing client base.
"It could be incredibly challenging to find a freelance social media consultant to truly understand your brand inside-out, and communicate your message as if they were you.
Ali was somehow a natural fit for us from day one, beyond sharing our values, she knows how to listen, quick to respond, and flexible to adapt to our various requirements, and even superseding my expectations by going the extra mile when needed.
"We asked Ali @Incredibusy to take-over the Stoats Instagram feed after discovering her creative and colourful account which communicates well to an audience we hoped to reach.
During the takeover, Ali shared well-crafted content in her signature style and interacted with our followers in addition to sharing a teaser post on her feed and Instagram Story.
After stumbling across Ali's bright and colourful Instagram page, we thought as a very creative woman, she is a good representation of Yawn's customers.
Ali ran an Instagram take-over across Yawn's channel under her @incredibusy profile, creating beautiful, bright imagery and increasing engagement across the platform, whilst reaching out to new audiences. It was a fantastic opportunity for Yawn to learn more about working with influencers and see how their work can have an impact on the brand. Ali also filmed and produced a 'box-opening' video for her YouTube channel.
Ali has been a pleasure to work with and it's been wonderful to see all the positive comments and responses from her followers towards the brand.
Ali is without a doubt the most talented social media operator I have worked with. She is creative, constantly on and always ensuring she is ahead of the game; investigating new channels, influencers and better ways to implement programmes. She took our low level social media and raised the brand to being admired for social media and over-delivered on the numbers of all KPIs beyond our greatest expectations. She worked hard as a natural extension of the company to ensure consistency across social media with PR and other brand channels. Ali is respected and highly appreciated within the team and I very much hope to have a chance to work with her again.

Popular TV host Jimmy Kimmel, whose son Billy was born with a heart defect in April and underwent a surgery, says the three-month-old might have to undergo two more surgeries.
"He's doing great. Young Billy made his first visit to our office today (Thursday). He's juggling. He's translating Flaubert from French into English. He's really an amazing kid," Kimmel told hollywoodreporter.com.
"He is very interested in ceiling fans. He likes those a lot. I could get him to pay the same amount for Netflix just to watch ceiling fans.
"He has to have two more open heart surgeries. We would like to get them over with and not have to think about it all the time, but it could definitely be worse," he added.

With the wide proliferation of devices for computing and entertainment, and the possibility of connecting more than two devices together to achieve different goals, there arose a requirement for interconnecting them. The connections are made with cables and connectors of various types. The concept of cables is not at all new but, however, the different types of cables available today are something not too old.
Initially, manufacturers used proprietary interfaces to ensure customers used devices only manufactured by them. But over time, with the need to interconnect devices from different manufacturers there rose a need to standardise these interfaces so that customers could use devices from different manufacturers. Standards were developed and agreed upon for connectors and cables. The standard defined not only the physical connector but also the characteristics of the signals flowing through each of the wires of the connector. Although much of these gadgets and connectors have been standardises, there are still some manufacturers which prefer to keep the proprietary interface. Moreover, when a device is bought, one usually gets a connecter with it as a part of the entire box package. However, these connectors are mostly USB based and hence can be used with devices from other vendors too.
The variety in connectors or cables is huge but, some commonly used cables are described below.
The Coax cable is constructed with an inner conductor which is surrounded by insulation and then a conducting shield around that. The coax cables can be used to carry radio frequency signals. The shielding around the central conductor prevents interference from outside and also prevents electromagnetic signal radiation from the signal conductor. In the home, they are commonly used to connect the antenna to a TV set or cable box.
DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface and is primarily used for carrying video signals. The DVI connector has 28 pins. However all pins are not used all the time. For example, the DVI-D utilises 18 or 24 pins and carries digital signals only. The DVI-A uses a combination of different 16 pins and carries only analogue signals and the DVI-I carry both analogy as well as digital signals.
HDMI or High Definition Multimedia Interface is used to transfer uncompressed video data along with audio in compressed or uncompressed form to compatible devices like digital television, computer monitor, etc. It was developed and had the support of major Japanese and European manufacturers as well as major motion picture producers. The popularity of HDMI devices is shown by the sales of HDMI devices which rose from 5 million in 2004 to 143 million in 2007.
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) was developed nearly 20 years back primarily to connect computers with electronic peripherals and devices. The USB cable carried both electronic signals as well as power. The USB 1.0 was released in 1996 and carried signal speeds of 1.5 Mbits/sec and up to 12 Mbits/sec. USB 2.0 raised the speeds to 480 Mbits/sec and USB 3.0 carried 5 Gbits/sec. The USB cables are used to connect mass storage devices with an added advantage over other means of connection because the storage devices can be removed without needing to reboot the pc.
An Optical Fibre Cable is a cable composed of one or more optic fibres that carry signals using light waves. Since each optic fibre carries a very high speed signal and many optical fibres can be present in a cable, the total capacity is very large. It is estimated that only 1% of the installed optical fibre capacity is actually used with the rest kept for future use. Optical cables can carry signals from 10 to 100 Gigabits /sec.
Firewire was initiated by Apple and developed in the early 1990s and is released by different manufacturers under different proprietary names like i-Link by SONY and Lynx by Texas Instruments.
It carries signals up to 3.2 Gigabits/sec and is used to transfer data from video cameras to computers.
Although wireless technology is rapidly taking over, the existence and use of cables cannot be over ruled. There are still many years for the tech world to get completely wire-less.


Whether Russia attends NATO's November's summit could depend on the attitude the Alliance displays towards Moscow, Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has said.
As ties between Moscow and NATO are warming, Russia has been invited to take part in the organization's upcoming summit in Lisbon.
However Lavrov, who spoke about threats and challenges in the modern world in his interview with a weekly Russian news show, did not seem in a hurry to agree to the invitation.
"Just before our flight to New York, we were invited to NATO's summit in Lisbon in November…Today, Russia asks several major questions. When it gets the answers, Russia will decide whether or not to attend. The first is: what attitude will be chosen towards Russia? The second is: how will NATO regard itself in relation to international law, and the prerogatives of the UN Security Council?" Lavrov said.
This week at a United Nations assembly in New York, NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Russia and NATO could not afford to have poor relations and needed to improve ties in order to cooperate more closely on a number of issues.
"It is important that NATO members called for intensifying cooperation on practical issues – on Afghanistan, the fight against drug trafficking, terrorism, and missile defense," Lavrov agreed.
Lavrov praised NATO's strategic ideas, saying they "reflect modern-day realities and needs", but lamented the alliance's ambiguous position regarding Russia.
"On one hand, we are a partner but, on the other… NATO's new members should be protected from us," he said.

Former Astronaut, Senator John Glenn, hospitalized
Bart Leahy

NBC News is reporting that 95-year-old former U.S. Senator John H. Glenn, the first American launched into orbit, has been taken to the James Cancer Hospital in Ohio with an undisclosed health problem. It is uncertain whether this hospitalization is related to a heart valve that Glenn has had replaced two years ago or due to a stroke. News reports state his health has been declining recently.
Glenn, a former Marine pilot in World War Two and Korea as well as a U.S. Navy test pilot, was selected to be one of NASA's "Original Seven" astronauts in 1959. As part of Project Mercury, Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth on February 20, 1962, aboard the Mercury-Atlas 6 (MA-6) vehicle, Friendship 7. He left the space program to run for Senator from the state of Ohio in 1964. While he lost the 1964 contest, He was elected in 1974 and remained in office until 1999.
As a U.S. Senator, Glenn later became the oldest person to fly into space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1997. Glenn is the only living member of the Original Seven astronauts.

Home - Health and Fitness - What is It Medicinally That Links Ginseng with Ginkgo Biloba
What is It Medicinally That Links Ginseng with Ginkgo Biloba
By David Meyer November 24, 2017 230 views
You may have heard of them both, especially the ginseng, since it's been known to be a natural tonic for quite some time now and even in mainstream circles, whereas the ginkgo biloba, hasn't.
But anyway, both ginseng and ginkgo biloba are renowned herbal supplements which are broadly used in natural medicine for things like memory enhancement and stress relief.
They can be consumed various ways, with the capsule form or as tea being the most popular.
Improving Human Health
And even though both of these natural medicines can function to assist in improving the same features of health, they are also known to vary in their effects.
There is evidence that they do in fact function well together to help increase people's stamina and persistence, and is why both medicines have become more and more popular and easily available from Caruso's Natural Health, in Australia.
More and More People are making Good Use of Them
For those wise people who prefer using natural medicine, instead of the allopathic type, the herbs ginseng and ginkgo biloba are renowned mostly to help in stimulating memory and relieve stress from people's bodies.
Professional studies have already gone on to show that compounds in both herbs will act on the adrenal glands, which help to emit hormones which are related to stress and stimulation.
Research is showing great promise in its ability to naturally calm the nervous system, as well as providing the mind with a sense of calm.
Both of these conditions is the reason why more and more people are using these popular natural herbal supplements, whilst the over the counter allopathic medicines are slowly being avoided.
How they are extracted and Active Ingredients
Both of these herbs are commonly extracted from different areas of the plant from which they derive.
Ginseng gets extracted from the roots, whereas ginkgo biloba is extracted from the leaves and seeds.
Both include naturally occurring chemicals which are the active components that are responsible for their wonderful health advantages and effects.
The active elements in ginseng are known as ginsenosides, whereas with gingko biloba the active ingredients are flavonoids and antioxidants.
For a Very Small Number of People there May be Light Side Effects
Similar to many other medicines, ginseng and ginkgo biloba have been known to share similar side effects, as in headache and nausea, but luckily these are hardly noticed in most people and are not severe.
A number of naturopaths and herbalists recommend that anyone who wishes to try taking these types of herbal supplements, should correctly follow the given instructions on dosage to make it much more effective.
Returning Back to Mother Earth
The majority of herbal supplements sold out there on the market which contain ginseng or ginkgo biloba in some form, are usually available in capsules, but if preferred, they can also found to be easily infused in water and drank as a hot tea.

Virginia Beach ranked among the best U.S. cities to open a restaurant
Posted 3:36 pm, March 16, 2019, by Julia Varnier
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Opening a restaurant can be very risky. However, a new study says that Virginia Beach is one of the best places to open a one!
The study released by Bid-On-Equipment says that the city ranks 48th out of the top 50 best places to start a restaurant.
In Virginia Beach, the restaurant sales per capita are $1,863, restaurants per capita are 226, there are roughly 3,969 workers in the industry and the average income for the industry is $71,000.
In the number one spot on the list: Arlington, Va.
To determine the best cities, 236 cities were compared, including the 150 most populous cities in the U.S., considered annual restaurant sales per capita, competition and market saturation, workforce as well as median income in each city.
Data for restaurant sales, restaurants per capita and workforce was collected from the U.S. Census Bureau. Median income data was collected from the American Community Survey.
Each factor was graded on a 100-point scale and then weighted to reach a final ranking.

Directed by Guru Dutt
India • 1957 • 146 mins.
Sensitive, lyrical filmmaker Guru Dutt was only 39 when he died of an apparent suicide, but he nevertheless left behind a lasting mark on India's cinematic history. Pyaasa ("Thirsty"), the most autobiographical of his works, is the story of a struggling young poet (Dutt) whose genius goes unrecognized until he is mistaken for dead and his work is "posthumously" published through the efforts of a golden-hearted prostitute (Waheeda Rehman). Suffused with an air of romantic longing, Pyaasa is both a celebration of the creative spirit and a harsh condemnation of society's hypocritical attitude towards artists. Of all the remarkable films produced during Indian Cinema's Golden Age, this is "the most soulfully romantic of the lot."—Richard Corliss, Time Magazine.

Q: How to run exe as a service with elevated credentials on remote PC with psexec? I am using the command below (and tried many variations) to run an exe as a different domain user on a remote pc as a service (phew!).

psexec \\RemotePC -u admin -p mypass "SC create MyService displayname=
  "MyService" binpath= "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start
  Menu\Programs\Startup\MyService.exe" start= auto obj=
  corp\service_account password= servicepass"

I get:

PsExec could not start sc create MyService displayname=MyService on
  RemotePC: The system cannot find the file specified.

I think I'm probably getting some spaces or quotation marks in the wrong place, but this is driving me nuts. Have tried all kinds of variations, including launching cmd.exe and passing the sc command in as an argument. Same issue.
Both Windows 7 PC's in a domain environment. Attempting to send local administrative user credentials with psexec command, and attempting to execute the sc command as a domain-level user.
EDIT:
Tried this:

c:\SysInternals>psexec \\RemotePC -h -u localadmin -p mypass "sc
  create MyService displayname= \"MyService Name\" binpath=
  \"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
  \Programs\Startup\MyService.exe\" start= auto obj= corp\service_account

and got:

PsExec could not start  on RemotePC: The filename,

Joint press statement by Mangosuthu Buthelezi, President of the Inkatha Freedom Party, and Nelson Mandela, President of the African National Congress
The Presidents of the ANC and IFP met together with their respective delegations for wide-ranging discussions.
Discussions were frank, meaningful and productive and were conducted in a sprit of mutual respect and concern for the future.
Out of these discussions there has come a determination to seek ways and means of bringing about peace and success in negotiations.
A joint undertaking between the two leaders has been drawn up and is attached.
In addition it was agreed that it is time for the ANC and the IFP to bury the past and to look to the future.
We will work together to promote national reconciliation and a democratic future for our country.
Both the ANC and the IFP, like all other political parties who are helping to make a new South Africa, have a right to exist and must cooperate in the creation of the new society.
We recognise that each of our organisations has a legitimate right to exist and to participate peacefully in the democratic process.
We agree that a meeting of the signatories to the National Peace Accord should be convened as soon as possible in order to ratify recommendations for the strengthening of the Peace Accord.
We recognise that if we are to set an example of reconciliation for our people, we must make it clear that both the ANC and the IFP support free political activity and reject the concept of no-go areas.
We have agreed to ourselves conduct joint symbolic visits to persons and places which are of great significance to our respective organisations and to share joint platforms in strife-torn areas to bring about peace.
We have also agreed that there is a need in both our organisations to ensure that agreements reached at national and regional levels find expression among the people. Peace and democracy must become the property of all South Africans.
We commit ourselves to taking active steps to ensure the agreements we have reached today are communicated to all of our members and supporters and are implemented at all levels of our organisations.
We have both agreed that the elimination of apartheid and the creation of a non-racial, non-sexist, democracy through the Multi-Party Negotiating Process are vital steps which must be taken to improve relationships between us and to bring about peace in South Africa. We have agreed to establish constructive bilateral relations between our respective organisations at the negotiations process. We will seek through this mechanism to resolve the differences which remain outstanding between us, including differences over constitutional issues.
We reiterate our agreement that there will be prohibition on the carrying of dangerous weapons, which are detrimental to the peace process, to political meetings and rallies. We also deplore the proliferation of arms which are being acquired freely and which are being used to decimate human life. We call for tighter control of all illegal arms by all persons and parties.
Together we commit ourselves to lead for peace and democracy and to make the agreements reached here today historically significant.
JOINT UNDERTAKING BETWEEN NELSON MANDELA, PRESIDENT OF THE ANC AND INKOSI MANGOSUTHU BUTHELEZI, PRESIDENT OF IFP AND CHIEF MINISTER OF KWAZULU
I. BASIC PRINCIPLES
1 South Africa has reached a crucial stage on the path to democracy. After centuries of colonial domination and apartheid, our country is poised for a major breakthrough leading to the establishment of a united, non-racial, non-sexist and democratic order and a government based on the will of the people.
2. The achievements made thus far are a result of the efforts and sacrifices made by -the people of our country and international support for a democratic settlement. The people's aspirations will find expression in democratic elections for a government of their choice, and measures aimed at reconstructing our country to the benefit of all and bringing about national reconciliation.
3. The ANC and the IFP recognise the historic importance of this moment. We jointly reaffirm our commitment to the speedy resolution of the problems that remain so that our society can at least find peace and occupy its rightful place among the world community of nations.
4. Violence remains one of the most serious impediments in the endeavor to realise these objectives. The ANC and the IFP acknowledge that every life lost is a serious indictment on the system of apartheid, our own organisations as well as other political leaders; and that it behoves all peace-loving South Africans to engender within our communities the spirits of peace and tolerance.
5. On behalf of the ANC and the IFP, we hereby reaffirm our commitment to the agreements reached in previous bilateral meetings as well as the National Peace Accord. We jointly commit ourselves to reaching an agreement together with the other signatories to strengthen the National Peace Accord, and to abide by its strengthened provisions. We hereby commit ourselves to the peaceful resolution of the problems of our country, and to a constructive approach in dealing with matters under discussion in multi-party negotiations.
In order to help contribute to the atmosphere necessary for a peaceful transition to democracy, we commit ourselves to the following principles:
II. ORGANISATIONAL RELATIONS
1 The IFP and the ANC are two independent organisation founded to pursue what each organisation perceives as the interest of the country and its people.
2. The two organisations share the common objective of ridding SA of the scourge of apartheid and its consequences. Insofar as we share these common perspectives, we are duty-bound to co-operate in their realisation.
3. Where the ANC and IFP differ on mechanisms to this end, we commit ourselves to discuss these differences in a spirit of tolerance and mutual respect, taking into account that the interests of SA and its people transcend these differences.
4. It is therefore the responsibility of both organisations to ensure that our supporters, members and particularly leaders at all levels, promote a healthy relationship between them based on such mutual respect and tolerance.
III NORMAL POLITICAL ACTIVITY
1. The common objectives that the two organisations as well as other parties share, require that there be an atmosphere of peace among all South Africans, freedom of association, assembly and other basic human rights.
2. We therefore commit ourselves to promote the creation of such an atmosphere, and to do all in our power to prevent violations of these principles by our members and supporters. In particular, urgent measures need to be undertaken to ensure free political activity throughout SA. This entails, inter alia;
2.1 The recognition by our members and supporters of the right of all individuals to hold their own views, and their right to express these views without intimidation and violence; while at the same time eschewing mutual vilification.
2.2 Where either of our organisations are able to do so - we shall ensure that other organisations are allowed to canvass their views and that they are afforded the necessary facilities to do so. This should apply to both urban and rural areas.
2.3 Both the IFP and ANC recognise the right of people to assemble and give expression to their grievances and the parties they support provided that such manifestations are in keeping with the letter and spirit of the National Peace Accord. To this end the IFP and the ANC agree that if and when either party convenes a demonstration, protest or any other form of mass action, it will ensure that:
2.3.1 it has given priority to the need to promote peace;
2.3.2 the action will avoid deliberate provocation of opponents, injury to persons or damage to property;
2.3.3 the structures of the Peace Accord will be kept fully and timeously informed and will be utilised to maximum effect;
2.3.4 good faith negotiations will occur with all relevant parties and the security forces regarding the proposed action;
2.3.5 all agreements reached regarding the proposed action will be binding, and the convening party will comply with them and do everything reasonably possible to ensure its members are aware of the agreements;
2.3.6 sufficient marshals will be provided to ensure that the proposed action is peaceful and disciplined;
2.3.7 all reasonable steps will be taken to make sure that no weapons are carried with unlawful intent;
2.3.8 in making its decision as to whether the action would be embarked upon, the convening party will give due cognisance to the political climate prevailing at the time and the appropriateness of the proposed action;
2.3.9 the convening party will plan the route of any demonstration so as to provide for a specific place where it is to start, the route which is to be followed and a place where the march should end and where and how marchers should disperse;
2.3.10 provision will be made for effective means of communication between the conveners of the action, marshals, peace committee monitors, the police and any other relevant party during the action and immediately thereafter.
3. Realising that the problem of violence and legitimate law enforcement should also be addressed in the context of the unfolding transition, we commit ourselves to contribute constructively to the multilateral negotiations on multiparty control of all armed formations. In particular, we agree that all proposals regarding armed formations in the country should be considered in the light of a single, over-riding objective; to establish impartial, accountable, effective and legitimate security forces for a democratic South Africa. To this end, we specifically endorse the proposals made in the Fourth Report of the Technical Committee on Violence at the Multi-Party Negotiating Process regarding the adoption of a series of phased, confidence building measures within a common framework to achieve this objective. We recognise that within this common framework a clear distinction will have to be drawn between statutory and non-statutory armies on the one hand and police forces on the other during the transition to democracy and thereafter. This distinction is consistent with our view that policing functions should be clearly distinguished from military functions and our view that the various armies should play no role in the elections process which lies before us, while the various police forces and a multi-party peace-keeping force will be required to fulfil ongoing law and order functions.
4. Where there are disputes between us, including disputes regarding either party's freedom to canvass its views and be afforded the necessary facilities to do so or regarding the exercise of the right to freedom of assembly, we agree to attempt to resolve these disputes in a constructive manner. We agree that the primary mechanisms for dispute resolution between us are those contained in the National Peace Accord and direct meetings and liaison between our two organisations.
5. Realising that apartheid and the variety of struggles against it have had particularly serious consequences for South Africa's youth, and that there is a need to constructively channel the energies and hope of the youth, we commit ourselves to participate together in the development of a peace-corps/youth services under the auspices of the National Peace Accord.
IV JOINT MECHANISMS
1 In order to promote healthy and constructive interaction between our organisations, we commit ourselves to strengthen and expedite the work of the joint liaison structures between our two organisations. We call on these structures to speed up their work aimed at finalising detailed agreements on matters of mutual concern for ratification by the respective executives.
2. In order to obviate some of the problems that beset relations between the two organisations after previous bilateral meetings, we agree that such joint mechanisms should include measures aimed at monitoring progress in the implementation programmes agreed upon and dealing with such violations as may occur. Further, we pledge to ensure that problems that arise in this relationship will be handled first and foremost through the channels agreed upon rather through the media; and that such contact will not be broken off simply as a result of differences that might emerge.
3. In the endeavor to ensure that the relations between our organisations find expression among the people, we undertake to initiate and encourage activities among our structures at all levels. This will include:
3.1 Joint mass rallies, meetings and marches by local as well as regional structures - which should be undertaken as a matter of urgency to relate to one another in this spirit of co-operation, mutual respect and tolerance.
4. None among us should see it necessary, no matter how serious the point of disagreement, to resort to violence. Those who seek to exploit whatever differences may exist between the two organisations for their own ends, will then stick out like a sore thumb.
5. Great possibilities exist for the final resolution of the political problems that have gripped our country for decades and even centuries. We owe it to ourselves, our children and generations to come, not to squander this historic opportunity.
6. The future of peace and democracy for which many have sacrificed their lives is within reach. Let us grasp it with both hands.

Fear The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 6: "Bury Her Next to Jasper's Leg," Plot And Release Date
By Anamika Bharti
The story of Fear The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 6 is going to grow terrible than before. The season started hitting the screen in October. We were thoroughly thrilled by the plot the sixth season brought up on the screen. However, we are looking forward to see the whereabouts of some characters. There is also going to be the arrival of thrill ahead. Let us dive into the impending fate of Fear The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 6.
What's Coming In 'Fear The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 6'?
Fear The Walking Dead Season 6's sixth episode is titled "Bury Her Next to Jasper's Leg." Who is going to die and will be buried? We will know the answer soon after the release of the episode. Here the end is the beginning. However, things are going to grow more horrifying. Some will help, and the other will destroy. Everyone is fighting for their survival. Indeed, it's interesting to see characters going to all extremes in order to survive the scenario.
Fans are going to see more of Lennie James as Morgan Jones, Alycia Debnam-Carey as Alicia Clark, Colby Minifie as Virginia, Austin Amelio as Dwight, Christine Evangelista as Sherry, and Zoe Colletti as Dakota. There are some other guests and supporting characters included as well.
What Happened Till Now?
The fifth episode, "Honey," brought the reunion of Dwight and Sherry. The ongoing mission was to tangle Ginny in her own plan and then bring her down. Dwight starts hearing some voices and is then caught by a few strangers. Sherry comes in front with the white mask above her face. She explains to be a part of the group. However, it wasn't brought up earlier because she wasn't sure whether Dwight would be included to bring Virginia down or not.
Later we saw Morgan coming up with a plan. He goes back to the place and asks Sherry and Dwight not to make a move against Virginia until the right time. However, both of them think of following Morgan's idea.
Sherry reminds Dwight of her personality before the apocalypse. Therefore, she wants to depart away. However, Al assures Dwight that Sherry will come back to him one or the other day. But will that really happen? There is a bit of a chance.
Morgan is introduced to Nora by Al and Dwight. Later, we see Dwight leaving. But, he leaves a clue, an arrow pointing in the direction of their heading, for Sherry. Therefore, if she changes her mind, they can easily find out Dwight and his whereabouts.
Fear The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 6: Premiere Date
Fear The Walking Dead Season 6's sixth episode will be hitting the screen on Sunday, November 15, 2020. The episode will be there on AMC. One can easily watch on the official site or on the app with the subscription.

Hardcore Early Adopters Are Dead-Set on Kik's ICO
Wednesday in New York, Kik gathered up the strongest believers in its plan to create a new revenue model for services online using its kin token.
Brady Dale
Apr 13, 2018 at 4:00 a.m. UTC
Updated Sep 13, 2021 at 7:49 a.m. UTC
"I'm long-term bullish and short term I have no idea."
That's how Fred Wilson, a partner at Union Square Ventures and one of the most widely respected VCs working today, answered a question about the crypto market in general and specifically his outlook for Kin, the soon-to-be launched token created by the messaging app, Kik.
Wilson made the comment in a small event space on Prince Street in Manhattan, sitting in front of 28 people that Kik had flown in from 13 countries (including Japan, India and Australia), and all of whom seemed to be holders of Kik's ethereum and stellar token.
Kik had brought them together to serve as the first wave of ambassadors for the new token, serving on Reddit, Telegram, Kik groups and anywhere people might want to talk about it.
So, when Wilson expressed that mix of confidence and uncertainty, he wasn't just giving the latest market's hot take; he aligned himself with a prevailing sentiment in the room, hope mixed with some confusion. A part of his role there seemed to be to induct Kik's guests into an ever-widening circle of the true believers backing the new model for monetizing digital experiences enabled by kin.
"I wouldn't say it was my idea, but I would way I was one of a group of people who collaborated on coming up with it," Wilson told the room. "Obviously, I think it's a great idea."
Wilson spoke during the last fireside chat of the day, in conversation with CoinFund CEO Jake Brukhman.
CoinDesk had been invited to the event to interview Kik CEO Ted Livingston as the the two day event opened. During that conversation, Livingston described himself as a wreck two years ago, as the company lost marketshare to Facebook-owned products.
In Wilson's telling, he helped bring his fellow investors in the company around to a crypto-led strategy, so that now Livingston could say:
"Our investors are very supportive, but it took us a while to get there."
Faced with what he saw as the impossibility of monetizing a messaging app with ads amidst the Facebook-Google advertising duopoly, Livingston elaborated, "Our new plan was to develop a new economy around a new currency."
An economy is, of course, one form a community takes, which helps to explain why Kik has invested in forging bonds between its early advocates, expanding the cadre from that early circle that sold the Kik board to a larger one that can sell lots of people using services online.
Here's the funny thing about it's early advocates, though: by and large, they don't use Kik. During our interview with Livingston, we asked the crowd whether or not they were big Kik users before Kin came along. Only five or six raised their hand.
It's remarkable because when Kik first unveiled this idea, many people viewed its existing audience as its unfair advantage over potential social crypto competitors.
Livingston volunteered, "Our users of Kik are largely unaware."
Crypto Summer Camp
Arriving at the gathering on Prince Street felt a little like coming back to summer camp, with lots of people chatting with that peculiar spirit of reunion. Only it wasn't a reunion – these people hadn't met face-to-face before, they had spent a lot of time talking online.
And it was clear that certain levels of rapport had been established. This particular hit home during the (not really necessary) ice-breaking round when one community member in particular introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Dillon," Baltimore's Dillon King said. Everyone broke into applause. "And I don't actually look like Yoda."
Later we would learn that King is one of the most active voices on kin's Telegram and Reddit channels. "I kind of play the role of the educator," he told CoinDesk.
King was dressed like a lot of the guys at the gathering (it was very nearly all men), in a purple t-shirt and a black-zippered hoodie, apparently in tribute to Livingston, who wears those two things nearly every day. He said was glad to finally get to meet people from the Kik staff in a setting where they didn't have to constantly speak as if cameras were rolling he said.
"In general I just wanted to meet everybody," he explained.
We have known for a long time that people can build real bonds and relationships online as well as offline, but there's other ways in which online life is not as much like the real world as it could be. And that's the impetus behind kin: deepening digital reality.
"We want mainstream consumers to use cryptocurrency and we think the hardest problem with that is setting up a system, setting up an economy, in a place where they would actually use it," Livingston told the room. That place is the internet, buying and selling for purely digital goods and services.
Livingston said they had focused on picking ambassadors who understood that there was a real opportunity in creating entirely digital markets. In fact, he took it so far that he said he hopes to see such robust digital markets that people quit thinking in kin-dollar or kin-yen terms, and instead thinking fiat terms in real life and kin terms online.
Just like people don't think about exchange rates when they buy lunch from the corner burrito place.
As we spoke to ambassadors on the floor, it was clear that they still had questions about how a stable economy could rest on unstable crypto. "There's things I don't understand," Australia's Will Gikandi told CoinDesk.
Gikandi took advantage of every Q&A to pepper each speaker with questions. It was clear that he wants to believe it could all work, but he still doesn't quite see how.
The money
Probably the biggest applause line of the whole day came when Livingston said:
"I'm not in this for the money, though I do think kin is going to be very valuable."
It helps here to step back and revisit what Livingston believes is so big about the kin idea. He saw himself surrounded by peer companies that had successfully built communities but couldn't make money. The idea of kin is to create a way for all those companies to monetize without ads or user fees.
Livingston describes that economy as having two pieces: a cryptocurrency and a software platform that can reward developers for creating active markets for that cryptocurrency.
The strangest part of this whole kin idea is that second part, called the Kin Rewards Engine (KRE), controlled by the non-profit Kin Foundation. The idea is that developers will try to build apps that encourage users to exchange kin with each other.
"We don't want developers to charge consumers," Livingston said. "We want to set up is what we call a consumer-to-consumer economy."
So, someone might build an app where users send artists photos and pay them in kin to make drawings of them. The artist would keep all her earnings, but the KRE (which holds 60 percent of the kin that will ever be created) would pay the app's developer every day relative to the amount of economic activity it created within the whole kin economy.
Wilson said that there's lots of companies in his portfolio who would probably benefit from jumping on the KRE once its built, but he thinks there's more opportunity with developers just having their first glimmer of an app idea now.
That said, USV is so convinced that in the future tech companies will earn so much in tokens that its begun negotiating what it calls "token exchange agreements" with the companies it backs. In these agreements, it would have the option to exchange its equity for tokens a company has earned from doing business (not what they generated by issuing them in an ICO).
One member of the audience wanted to know when developers could begin building business models around the KRE?
Livingston wouldn't commit, but he did give his interlocutor a standard by which to hold him accountable. There's three ways Kik has to lead, he argued. It has to have a blockchain that can support a million users, it has to have lots of regular consumers actually earning and spending in crypto and it has to have a functional incentives system (like the KRE).
If any other company starts to show traction in any of those three areas, that's when kin backers should start getting angry.
"Who's in first place. We have no idea. Nobody knows," Livingston said, concluding:
"The race hasn't even started yet."

The challenges engendered by stay-at-home orders are likely to have had negative effects on people with substance use disorders or in recovery, including increased drug or alcohol consumption, risks of overdose, and relapse.
As emphasized in a report by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, people who use drugs face additional risks of infection by Covid-19 as compared to the general population, because of lifestyle factors and pre-existing health problems.
The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to health pointed out the need to recognize vulnerable groups of people who use drugs as a high-risk population in order to mitigate the spread of the pandemic.
What's the campaign for?
Covid-19-related consequences seem to take a particularly heavy toll on people in the throes of substance use disorder and addiction, as well as on those in recovery. Yet, in many countries, , authorities have been able to give addiction services only very little support.
This is the reason why we demand that addiction services be on par with other healthcare services and that they be given similar levels of attention and support
When everything is on pause, some of us must go on.

Fossils are the petrified remains of the living beings from the past or of their vital traces. They are studied by the science of the Paleontology.
Fossils are commonly found in sediments or sedimentary rocks (limestone, sandstone, mudstone, shale), typically as a result of the burial of the remains of a living being within a layer of sediments. Heavy metamorphism and the extreme temperatures of the magmas (> 700ºC) are likely to destroy any remain or trace of a living being, and so fossils are not found in heavily metamorphosed rocks (schist, gneiss) or igneous rocks (granite, diorite). Only sedimentary rocks that have undergone a gentle metamorphism, such as slates, are likely to contain fossils.
The totality of fossils and their placement in the rocks containing them constitute the fossil record. This placement may be as important as the fossil itself, because it can give a lot of information about the way and the type of ecosystem in which the fossilised organism lived. For instance, if a fossil is found within a conglomerate, which is a rock formed from the sediments deposited by a river, we'll know that it is one of a land organism. Or if an unknown fossil is found in the same rock where we also find fossils of seashells, it will probably be the fossil of a marine living being.
The fossil record is gappy and uneven. It is gappy because fossilisation is a rare event that happens sporadically and irregularly, depending heavily on the environmental conditions in the moment when a living being dies. If a land animal dies in a place that undergoes a landslide a short time after its death, most likely it will be well preserved inside the sediments. But if it dies in a place where strong winds, or heavy river flow or marine currents drag its corpse for a long time before it is left in a quiet place to be buried as sediments are deposited, chances are that the corpse will be destroyed by those currents, and the scavengers, detritivores and decomposers during the long time that it took before it was buried. And it is uneven because not all species have the same chances to leave any kind of fossil remain. As a start, hard structures (bones, teeth, shells) are commonly necessary, because soft tissues decay rapidly when the scavengers and decomposers (chiefly invertebrates, bacteria and fungi) start to predate on them. Organisms such as jellyfish or worms have really low possibilities to leave body fossils; traces such as imprints or burrows in the sediments are amongst their very few chances to leave a sign of their existence.
Body fossils are the petrified remains of living beings from the past, and are produced by the substitution of the biomolecules that pertained to the deceased organism by mineral substances that precipitate from the groundwater that circulates through the sediments in which the corpse is buried. This requires a rapid burial of the organism following its death; otherwise, it will be soon destroyed, as explained above. Other times the remains can be destroyed once covered by sediments, but leaving an organism-shaped hole in the rock: this is called an external mould. If this hole is later filled with other minerals, it is called a cast. An internal mould is formed when sediments or minerals fill the internal cavity of an organism, such as the shell of a bivalve or the skull of a vertebrate.
Trace fossils are the physical remains of the vital activity of living beings from the past, and are produced by their movement (trackways left by trilobites, footprints from hominans), their reproduction (eggs of dinosaurs), their nutrition (coprolites, gastrolites, holes drilled in the shells of the prey), and other living habits (burrows, root cavities, stromatolites...). The oldest physical fossils on Earth fall into this category. They are stromatolites, and the oldest might be the 3.5 by old found in Warrawoona, Australia. Stromatolites are layered rocks generated by communities of microorganisms, usually dominated by cyanobacteria, which produced the precipitation of mineral substances dissolved in the seawater, generating layers of sediments that stacked one on top of another creating a stratified biogenic rock.
Biochemical fossils are the biochemical remains of the vital activity of living beings from the past. The best examples are carbon-rich rocks (such as the stromatolites) or minerals (such as graphite granules) that have more 12C than usual and less 13C than normal. As the CO2 molecules with 12C weigh 44 u instead of the 45 u of a molecule of CO2 with 13C, the former move faster (they are called "light CO2") than the latter, and have more chances to randomly reach the places of a living being capable of capturing them. This way a plant captures light CO2 in a greater proportion than it is found in the atmosphere, and so the fossilised remains of a plant will contain 12C in a greater proportion than it is found in the atmosphere. The oldest fossils on Earth might be 3.8 by old graphite granules found in Isua, Greenland, that contain a greater than normal proportion of 12C.
· The Sun, formed from a giant cloud of gas and dust (a nebula), ignites and becomes a young star.
· The Earth and all rocky matter in the current Solar System start forming by accretion: the accumulation of matter in increasingly bigger nuclei due to the pull of gravity.
3,800 · First possible fossils: chemical imprints of Life in graphite granules found in the oldest known rocks with a sedimentary origin, in Greenland.
· The first living beings were similar to prokaryotes, and obtained the carbon from CO2 and the energy from inorganic substances such as H2S, that could have been obtained from the thermal vents that are found in the undersea tectonic boundaries.
3,430 · First possible physical fossils: possible biogenic stromatolites found in Australia. These are layered rocks created by a multispecific community of microorganisms dominated by cyanobacteria.
2,100 · Eukaryotic cells appear, probably derived from prokaryotes engulfing others via phagocytosis.

130 · Rise of angiosperms (flowering plants).
66 · A massive extinction at the end of the Cretaceous, possibly caused by a 10 km across meteorite that left the crater of Chicxulub, in Mexico, eliminates about half of all animal species, including all dinosaurs (except the ancestors of modern birds) and ammonites.
· Mammals will take advantage of this event and will diversify rapidly, occupy most ecological niches left by dinosaurs, and become the dominant vertebrates on land.
6-7 · Hominans (biped primates) appear in Africa, maybe with Sahelanthropus tchadensis (-7my) or Orrorin tugenensis (-6my).
2.5 · Humans (Homo habilis) appear in Africa.
0.2 · Modern humans (Homo sapiens) appear in Africa.
0 · With a human population approaching 7 billion, the impact of humanity is felt in all corners of the globe. Overfishing, anthropogenic climate change, industrialisation, intensive agriculture, clearance of rain forests and other activities contribute to a dramatically rising extinction rate.

Installation Awards ceremony honors civilian employees
By Suet Lee-Growney/Paraglide
Nov 17, 2018 at 12:01 PM Nov 17, 2018 at 12:06 PM
The 28th annual Fort Bragg Installation Awards ceremony was held Nov. 6 at the Iron Mike Conference Center. The event's theme this year was "28 Years of Delivering Excellence and Changing Lives."
Dubbed the "Fort Bragg Oscars," nominees and their supporting departments from 13 award categories came together for an afternoon of recognition from the installation and celebration with colleagues. The event began with performances by Albritton Middle School Chorus and the 82nd Airborne Division All-American Chorus, followed by a luncheon and the awards program.
The biggest winners that afternoon were the Directorate of Human Resources (DHR) and Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (DFMWR). Both directorates bagged four awards each. But the highlight of the awards show was the recipient of the lifetime achievement award, Ethel Nock from the Military Personnel Division, DHR.
"I was very shocked," Nock said about the emotions that ran through her mind when her name was announced. "I just never thought I would ever win."
Nock, who served in the Army for 26 years and retired a master sergeant, said her motivation to work hard in the civilian sector comes from her desire to help.
"I just love people; I love helping people and I get to work with Soldiers," she said.
To qualify for the lifetime achievement award, nominees must have at least 25 years of service, according to Beth Bailey, Civilian Personnel Advisory Center human resources specialist. The purpose of the event, Bailey said, was to honor the accomplishments of those who work hard at Fort Bragg.
"Everyone does great things out here," she said. "This is a time to celebrate all of those achievements."
During the closing remarks, Maj. Gen. Brian J. McKiernan, XVIII Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg deputy commanding general, said the awards ceremony was the highlight of his week.
"There are a lot of installations out there, and I've been on many of them, and I'm going to say this with all seriousness: I've never seen anybody do it better than this team here in terms of recognizing the contributions and the talent of our civilian workforce," McKiernan said.
He added, sometimes the workforce in the civilian sector gets overlooked and too often underappreciated.
"As the acting senior commander, I can tell you with all sincerity that Fort Bragg, North Carolina does not work — will not work — without you (federal civilian employees) and your efforts," he said. "You are the continuity. You are the marvelous set of professionals that knows what works and what doesn't work, what to try and what not to try and I thank you for that."

Mumbai: After signing a massive $5.7 billion deal with Facebook, Reliance Industries latest venture to expand into the retail market, JioMart, has reportedly gone live with its official WhatsApp number.
According to media reports, JioMart is currently available in the suburban Mumbai areas of Navi Mumbai, Thane and Kalyan currently.
However, the service is expected to be rolled out in rest of the country soon.
To order from JioMart, one simply needs to add JioMart's WhatsApp number 88500 08000 on their phones, and then JioMart will send a link to the user's Whatsapp chat window which is valid for 30 minutes.
By clicking on the link, the user will be directed to a new page where he/she has to fill his address and phone number.
After filling out the necessary information, JioMart would show the customer a catalogue of all the available items.
Once placed, the order will be relayed to the local Kirana store, along with the details of the customer.
The customer on the other end, would receive the name of the Kirana store to which the order has been dispatched, receiving the notification with the order and the Kirana/JioMart store details on his number.
Through the Kirana stores, Reliance is also planning to sell its own private labels under brand names such as Best Farms, Good Life, Masti Oye, Kaffe, Enzo, Mopz, Expelz and Home One.
Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has said that in the near future, JioMart and Whatsapp will empower nearly 3 crore small Indian Kirana shops to digitally transact with every customer in their neighbourhood.
"This means all of you can order and get faster delivery of day-to-day items, from nearby local shops," Ambani said in a video message as he announced the Facebook partnership with Jio last week.
He added that at the same time, small Kiranas can grow their businesses and create new employment opportunities using digital technologies.

Film auteur Werner Herzog in his "Cave of Forgotten Dreams."
Can a film about wealthy Silicon Valleyites still fill a theater during a recession?
Perhaps, if it remembers them as scrappy starters facing tough odds. "It's fun to root for the underdog," said Dan Geller, who made the movie "Something Ventured" with fellow San Francisco filmmaker Dayna Goldfine.
The new 85-minute documentary profiles such Valley entrepreneurs as Intel founder Gordon Moore and Atari founder Nolan Bushnell together with early venture capitalists including Arthur Rock, Tom Perkins and Bill Draper. The film describes these "high rollers" as laying the groundwork for the United States' start-up economy as far back as the late 1950s in the face of potential economic failure.
"I think that everyone in the film and everyone involved in making it hopes that it will inspire young would-be entrepreneurs all over the world to go out and develop new technology and start new companies, and these are the kinds of things we need in the world right now in the face of the current unemployment figures are bleak economic forecasts," Goldfine told the Weekly.
With its celebration of innovation, "Something Ventured" should fit right in at the inaugural Palo Alto International Film Festival, which is scheduled from Sept. 29 through Oct. 2.
Feature films and shorts will be shown at the Palo Alto Square at 3000 El Camino Real and the Aquarius Theatre at 430 Emerson St., both in Palo Alto. The movies were chosen because they are about technology, or were made with new technology, or are innovative in another way, organizers said.
Organized by the nonprofit Palo Alto Institute, which bills itself as a "creativity lab," the festival will also include speakers, discussions, workshops and screenings for kids.
A free outdoor screening of the documentary "Life in a Day" is the kickoff event, on Ramona Street between University and Hamilton avenues in downtown Palo Alto at 8 p.m. Sept. 29. The 2011 film, directed by Kevin McDonald, weaves together footage shot across the globe to give a broad picture of life on one day: July 24, 2010. It will be preceded by the 2-minute Cedric Vella film "YouTube My Facebook," which won an online-judged talent competition held by the festival.
Other scheduled films include "PressPausePlay," a documentary about the ways that a democratized culture can affect the arts. A screening is planned at the Aquarius Theatre at 10:30 p.m. Oct. 2.
Monte Hellman's romantic noir "Road to Nowhere" is at the Palo Alto Square at 7 p.m. Sept. 30, and 9:15 p.m. Oct. 1. "Drei (Three)," a film by Tom Tykwer of "Run Lola Run" fame, is a love triangle with a twist, showing at 10:15 p.m. Sept. 30 at the Palo Alto Square.
Tom Cruise narrates the Leslie Iwerks documentary "Industrial Light and Magic: Creating the Impossible," which will show at noon on Oct. 1 at the Palo Alto Square. Werner Herzog brings his auteurship to ancient French cave paintings in "Cave of Forgotten Dreams," set for screenings at the same theater at 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 1 and at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 2.
The festival's many speakers include: film editor and sound designers Walter Murch ("Apocalypse Now"); Tom Burton, director of Technicolor Restoration Services; visual-effects designer John Gaeta; Variety executive editor (and writer of the film "Road to Nowhere") Steven Gaydos; and Tom Sito, a veteran of animation production.
As for the film "Something Ventured," it is set for two screenings: at 4 p.m. Sept. 30 and 1 p.m. Oct. 2 at the Palo Alto Square. Filmmakers Geller and Goldfine say they plan to attend along with Molly Davis, one of the film's executive producers.
They linked with the Palo Alto festival by meeting executive director Devyani Kamdar earlier this year at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Texas, where "Something Ventured" premiered. Past documentaries by Geller and Goldfine include the acclaimed 2005 film "Ballets Russes," which featured interviews with veterans of pioneering ballet companies; and "Frosh," a 1993 portrait of life in a Stanford University dorm from move-in day to spring finals.
The filmmakers' experiences helped them better approach the big-name Silicon Valley subjects for "Something Ventured," they said. They knew to do their research in advance, reading books, interview transcripts and articles. Watching recorded interviews helped them see how a Reid Dennis or Don Valentine might be coaxed to open up.
"We first met with nearly all of the subjects in the movie without our equipment before returning some weeks later to shoot, so we had a sense of personality, energy and style," Geller said. "That let us know what they were like without the extra fuss of lights and camera around."
Both filmmakers said they found their subjects inspirational in how they ended up changing the world with Apple, Genentech, Cisco, Intel and other companies. They also found them surprisingly entertaining.
"Audiences have consistently remarked on how funny 'Something Ventured' is, and this comes directly out of the quick wit and good storytelling of the people in front of the camera," Goldfine said.
Where: Most screenings will be at the Palo Alto Square theater at 3000 El Camino Real and the Aquarius Theatre at 430 Emerson St., both in Palo Alto. Many speaker events will be at Talenthouse at 542 High St. in Palo Alto.
When: Sept. 29 through Oct. 2, with events in the morning, afternoon and evening.
Cost: Event prices vary (many screenings are $12), with multi-event passes available. A pass to all films is $115.

Doctor accused of conducting abortions after 8-month pregnancies
72-year-old Kermit Gosnell, a Pennsylvania doctor, faces eight counts of murder for the deaths of seven babies, and a 41-year-old woman who died of an anesthetic overdose during a second-trimester abortion.
Gosnell performed abortions past the 24-week limit allowed by law, even allegedly as late as eight months into pregnancy. Authorities state he used scissors to sever the spinal cords of live newborns from their mothers.
Gosnell has pleaded not guilty and is about to stand trial. Jury selection was set to begin Monday. If he's convicted, prosecutors would like to seek the death penalty. Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams said, "a doctor who cuts into the necks severing the spinal cords of living, breathing babies, who would survive with proper medical attention, is committing murder under the law."
A grand jury investigation determined that health and licensing officials had received repeated reports about Gosnell's practices for two decades, but had taken no action, Williams said.
The practice where Gosnell was employed was called the Women's Medical Society and they served mostly low-income minority women for years.
When authorities searched Gosnell's office, they found jars containing the severed feet of babies lined a shelf and the furniture and equipment was blood-stained, dusty and broken.

Kotzebue to Cape Blossom Road
76844/NCPD-0002(204)
The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) has completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) in support of a proposed road from Kotzebue to Cape Blossom on the Baldwin Peninsula. The road would improve access and enhance safety between Kotzebue and the shoreline on the southwest side of the Baldwin Peninsula. The project is funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and fully complies with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other federal, state, and local regulations.
The proposed Cape Blossom Road project will include constructing upgrades to existing Air Force Road south of the Hillside Road intersection to the Kotzebue Electric Association (KEA) Wind Farm; and constructing a new two-lane, gravel road from the wind farm south, including a crossing at Sadie Creek, to a beach access ramp above the high tide line at Cape Blossom. The proposed road would provide for all-season access between Kotzebue and Cape Blossom.
Environmental: The project has completed the required environmental documentation under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The initial EA and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), as well as a 2017 EA Re-Evaluation outlining several minor design revisions, are available on the project documents page.
The next steps are to complete acquire all project permits, acquire necessary Right of Way (ROW), and complete the final plans and specifications for construction. Additional ROW discussions are ongoing with other landowners including Kikitagruk Inupiat Corporation (KIC), the NANA Regional Corporation (NANA), and the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Once ROW is acquired and all permits have been received, DOT&PF intends to advertise this project for construction. See the Project Schedule for more detail. Construction of the Cape Blossom Road would be phased to complete construction as additional funding becomes available.
DOT&PF encourages all stakeholders and the public to use this web site to:
provide any new input to our project team; and
remain up to date as the project moves forward
