Q: How can I group windows to be raised as one? I have two windows , A and B. Is it possible to somehow link two windows together, such that switching to A also raises B, or switching to B also raises A ?
I understand using multiple workspaces is an alternative option but was wondering if this is also possible?

A: Raise an arbitrary number of windows as one
The solution below will let you choose any combination of two, three or more windows to be combined and raised as one with a keyboard shortcut.
The script does its work with three arguments:
add

to add the active window to the group
raise

to raise the set group
clear

to clear the group, ready to define a new group
The script
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
import os
import subprocess

wlist = os.path.join(os.environ["HOME"], ".windowlist")

arg = sys.argv[1]

if arg == "add":
    active = subprocess.check_output([
        "xdotool", "getactivewindow"
        ]).decode("utf-8").strip()
    try:
        currlist = open(wlist).read()
    except FileNotFoundError:
        currlist = []
    if not active in currlist:
        open(wlist, "a").write(active + "\n")
elif arg == "raise":
    group = [w.strip() for w in open(wlist).readlines()]
    [subprocess.call(["wmctrl", "-ia", w]) for w in group]
elif arg == "clear":
    os.remove(wlist)

How to use

*

*The script needs wmctrl and xdotool:
sudo apt-get install wmctrl xdotool

*Copy the script above into an empty file, save it as groupwindows.py

*Test- run the script: open two terminal windows, run the command:
python3 /absolute/path/to/groupwindows.py add

in both of them. Cover them with other windows (or minimize them). Open a third terminal window, run the command:
python3 /absolute/path/to/groupwindows.py raise

The first two windows will be raised as one.

*If all works fine, create three custom shortcut keys: Choose: System Settings > "Keyboard" > "Shortcuts" > "Custom Shortcuts". Click the "+" and add the commands below to three separate shortcuts:
on my system, I used:
Alt+A, running the command:
python3 /absolute/path/to/groupwindows.py add

...to add a window to the group.
Alt+R, running the command:
python3 /absolute/path/to/groupwindows.py raise

...to raise the group.
Alt+C, running the command:
python3 /absolute/path/to/groupwindows.py clear

...to clear the group
Explanation
The script works quite simply:

*

*When run with the argument add, the script stores/adds the active window's window- id into a hidden file ~/.windowlist

*When run with the argument raise, the script reads the file, raises the windows in the list with the command:
wmctrl -ia <window_id>

*When run with the argument clear, the script removes the hidden file ~/.windowlist.

Notes

*

*The script will also work on minimized windows, it will un- minimize possibly minimized windows

*If the set of windows is on another viewport, the script will switch to the corresponding viewport

*The set is flexibel, you can always add other windows to the current set.

More flexibility?
As mentioned, the script above allows adding windows at any time to the grouped windows. The version below also allows removing any of the windows (at any time) from the grouped list:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
import os
import subprocess

wlist = os.path.join(os.environ["HOME"], ".windowlist")
arg = sys.argv[1]
# add windows to the group
if arg == "add":
    active = subprocess.check_output([
        "xdotool", "getactivewindow"
        ]).decode("utf-8").strip()
    try:
        currlist = open(wlist).read()
    except FileNotFoundError:
        currlist = []
    if not active in currlist:
        open(wlist, "a").write(active + "\n")
# delete window from the group
if arg == "delete":
    try:
        currlist = [w.strip() for w in open(wlist).readlines()]
    except FileNotFoundError:
        pass
    else:
        currlist.remove(subprocess.check_output([
            "xdotool", "getactivewindow"]).decode("utf-8").strip())
        open(wlist, "w").write("\n".join(currlist)+"\n")
# raise the grouped windows
elif arg == "raise":
    group = [w.strip() for w in open(wlist).readlines()]
    [subprocess.call(["wmctrl", "-ia", w]) for w in group]
# clear the grouped window list
elif arg == "clear":
    os.remove(wlist)

The additional argument to run the script is delete, so:
python3 /absolute/path/to/groupwindows.py delete

deletes the active window from the grouped windows. To run this command, on my system, I set Alt+D as a shortcut.

A: Introduction
The following script allows selecting two windows, and while both windows are open, it will raise both windows when user focuses either one. For instance, if one links widows A and B , witching to either A or B will make both raise above other widows.
To stop the script you can use killall link_windows.py in terminal , or close and reopen one of the windows. You can also cancel execution by pressing close button X on either of the window-selection popup dialogs.
Potential tweaks:

*

*multiple instances of the script can be used to group pairs of two windows. For example, if we have windows A,B,C,and D we can link A and B together, and link C and D together.

*multiple windows can be grouped under one single window. For example, if I link window B to A, C to A, and D to A , that means if I always switch to A , I can raise all 4 windows at the same time.

Usage
Run the script as:
python link_windows.py

The script is compatible with Python 3 , so it can also run as
python3 link_windows.py

There are two command line options:

*

*--quiet or -q , allows silencing down the GUI windows. With this option you can just click with mouse on any two windows , and the script will begin linking those.

*--help or -h, prints the usage and description information.

The -h option produces the following information:
$ python3 link_windows.py  -h
usage: link_windows.py [-h] [--quiet]

Linker for two X11 windows.Allows raising two user selected windows together

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -q, --quiet  Blocks GUI dialogs.

Additional technical information can be viewed via pydoc ./link_windows.py , where ./ signifies that you must be in the same directory as the script.
Simple usage process for two windows:

*

*A popup will appear asking you to select a window #1 , press OK or hit Enter. The mouse pointer will turn in to a cross. Click on one of the windows you want to link.

*A second popup will appear asking you to select window #2,press OK or hit Enter. Again, the mouse pointer will turn into a cross.Click on the other window you want to link. After that execution will begin.

*Whenever you focus either window, the script will raise the other window up, but return focus to the one originally selected ( note - with a quarter of a second delay for best performance  ) , thus creating feel that windows are linked together.
If you select the same window both times, the script will quit. If at any moment you click close button of popup dialog , the script will quit.

Michael Urie Is the Star of Netflix's First Gay Christmas Film
by Emily Maskell
Highlights from Logo's "Cocktails & Classics" Live Screening of "Mommie Dearest"
You may know Michael Urie as Marc St. James from the ABC comedy-drama series Ugly Betty, or perhaps you've previously seen him on-stage in Hamlet, Chicken & Biscuits or the acclaimed revival of Torch Song. The Texan-born actor's latest project, however, is the one making history: Single All The Way, directed by Michael Maye, marks Netflix's first-ever Christmas film centered on a gay romance.
Renowned for its overwhelmingly heterosexual storylines, the holiday film genre doesn't have a great reputation for representation. However, it seems the tides are finally changing; Single All The Way joins a growing canon of queer holiday movies, from Hulu's Happiest Season (last year's festive lesbian rom-com starring Kristen Stewart on the precipice of Christmas crisis) to The Christmas House, which was the Hallmark Channel's first film to prominently feature a gay couple.
Related | How Uglyworldwide Stole Christmas
Urie plays Peter, a Los Angeles social media manager returning to his New Hampshire hometown for the holidays with best friend and roommate Nick (Philemon Chambers) in tow, pretending to be his partner to avoid family judgement over his singledom. However, their plan quickly falls apart as Peter's mother (Kathy Najimy) has arranged a blind date for her son with a local gym hunk (Luke Macfarlane).
PAPER spoke to Urie about his meaningful role in Single All The Way, working with the legendary Jennifer Coolidge and his own festive traditions.
Being involved in any first-ever project is big, but how does it feel to be at the forefront of Netflix's first gay Christmas film?
It's exciting and a little daunting, but I'm so proud to be pioneering this new genre for Netflix. There's only a handful of LGBTQ rom-coms for Christmas, and as this is Netflix's first gay Christmas rom-com, it's kind of crazy that it's 2021 and we're marching on [with] these moments.
There aren't very many queer films at this point that show queer joy. This movie does that. It's about a gay man whose family loves him so much they will do anything to find the man of his dreams. That's where the conflict is. The conflict isn't coming out of the closet or navigating around potentially homophobic family members. The conflict is his family is meddling in his love life and they love it. It's a very universal, relatable thing for people to watch. People who understand going home for the holidays are going to, I think, be really touched and delighted by this movie.
We have an incredible cast, a totally expert director and a tight script. Being at the forefront of this movie, I feel fully ready. We've got a great product and I'm proud Netflix is doing this and that I'm part of it.
Single All The Way embodies that heartfelt Christmas rom-com spirit. Was this your first impression of Chad Hodge's script?
I was excited when I knew I was going to read a gay Christmas comedy because that didn't exist. I was excited knowing that's what I was picking up and it was fun immediately. It's two characters who know each other really well, which you get to see a lot in other romantic comedies and Christmas movies. You know, a woman who is looking for love and can't find the right guy is a charming and delightful thing to watch at Christmas and this is the same thing, only it's a gay man. The movie is full of queer joy with queer references, queer people and queer icons.
I believe you shot this in April? What was the on-set experience of getting in the festive spirit halfway through the year?
Yes, we shot in April, so a lot of the cold is pretend. But we shot in a few places in Canada: one was a ski town, so that was very real snow. You hear stories about people shooting Christmas movies in August and they just pretend to be cold – that isn't this.
"There aren't very many queer films at this point that show queer joy. This movie does that."
The legendary Jennifer Coolidge is your Auntie in this film and she also was brilliant with you in Swan Song. How was acting opposite her?
Getting two movies with her that are so different, and she is so different in them, was great. I'll never forget my year of being in Jennifer Coolidge movies. I've loved her since Best In Show and I think I've seen everything that she's done. She is a legend, she is an icon. There are aspects of her that are so queer in the ways in which we love to laugh and surprise an audience. You watch a great drag queen play an audience and that's sort of what Jennifer does. You think you know what's coming and it's never that.
By the way, it says in the script, "enter Aunt Sandy," and in parenthesis, "think Jennifer Coolidge," so Chad has always thought of her. She always surprises you and that's why, I think, we love divas, drag and these queer icons from Judy Garland on. We know they are going to deliver and give us what we want, but we never know quite what they're going to do. That's J-Cool in a nutshell: she constantly surprises me and herself, she was making herself laugh on set. That is the mark of a true queer icon: they can tickle themselves while delighting us.
I feel like a Christmas at Jennifer's would be amazing. What does a Michael Urie Christmas look like? Do you have any traditions?
Well, I'm sitting right next to my tall, skinny, neon pink tree. As a kid, I liked Christmas, the food and the presents, of course, but when I was a single adult, before I met my partner Ryan [Spahn], I didn't really care for Christmas. It felt like a bit of a chore and I kept thinking I'd rather go home and visit my parents when it's warm.
Ryan comes from a family that loves Christmas and he loves Christmas and suddenly I loved Christmas. I love Christmas music and the way Christmas candles smell. There's something special about falling in love with someone who loves Christmas. That's why we love these Christmas rom-coms so much: there's something really romantic and magical about that season and holiday. Christmas is always different for me, but I think this pink Christmas tree is going to be a tradition.

Carter Center Unveils Report on Youth and Women's Political Participation in Kenya
The Carter Center
ATLANTA — The Carter Center today released its Youth and Women's Consultations on Political Participation in Kenya report, which outlines key challenges women and youth face when trying to participate in politics and offers detailed recommendations for strengthening their political engagement in future elections.
The Center encourages stakeholders to begin implementing recommendations swiftly to foster an environment that allows youth and women's fair and safe participation in the 2022 electoral cycle.
The Carter Center observed Kenya's 2017 general election and found that while youth and women made minimal gains when contesting in the election, they faced serious challenges. The Center extended its activities to gain a better understanding of barriers to – and opportunities for – participation that exist for youth and women.
Multiple mechanisms are in place to support and strengthen youth and women's political participation, but these have not been fully enacted or implemented to reflect the principles articulated in the 2010 Constitution. Youth and women face serious financial, societal, and cultural challenges to their participation, including intimidation, harassment, and violence. Despite these challenges, they remain eager to participate as candidates, voters, and informed citizens.
The Center urges executive, parliamentary, and county government actors to take steps to protect and promote youth and women's participation. The Kenyan authorities should provide sufficient resources to constitutional commissions and other regulatory bodies, enabling them to fully enforce compliance with legal provisions and codes of conduct that advance youth and women's political participation. The Carter Center encourages political parties to reform and strengthen their internal party structures to increase the number of youth and women as both party members and decision-makers.
The Carter Center in Kenya:
The Carter Center's international election observation mission monitored key parts of the electoral process from April through November 2017. A core team of experts was joined by a large group of short-term observers to monitor voting, counting, and tallying for the Aug. 8 election. Because the Oct. 26 rerun election was marked by increased insecurity, an uncertain political environment, and an opposition boycott, the Center deployed a smaller, limited observation mission, which did not cover all areas of the country. The Center followed up its mission with the deployment of experts from February to August 2018 to conduct further activities focused on information and communications technology, legal reform, and women's and youth participation.

Party Divisions Playing Out In Mayor's Race
Mayoral Race Getting Hot, And Possibly Negative
On September 5, 2017 KRQE reported the first poll in the 2017 Mayor's race and three days later on September 8, 2017 KOB reported a second poll.
Comparing both polls reveals that the race for Mayor is indeed heating up and there is a major shift in the race when it comes to the two front runners.
For many months, political pundits have been predicting that a runoff will occur between Republican City Councilor Dan Lewis and Democrat State Auditor Tim Keller, but that may not occur.
In both polls, both Lewis and Keller have not performed as well as what was being predicted by insiders.
The KRQE poll was one of 500 likely registered voters conducted by automatic phone calls with a margin of error of 5% which reduces accuracy.
The KRQE poll was taken before any of the candidates began to spend on radio and tv commercials.
KRQE reported each of the candidates polled as follows:
Democrat State Auditor Tim Keller – 22%
Republican City Councilor Dan Lewis – 11%
Former Democratic Party Chair Brian Colon – 10%
Republican County Commissioner Wayne Johnson – 8%
Independent retired APD Police Officer Michell Garcia-Holmes – 6%
Republican businessman Ricardo Chavez – 5%
Democrat Gus Pedrotty – 1%
Independent Susan Wheeler Diechel – 1%
The biggest winner in the KRQE poll was "undecided" at 36%.
On September 6, 2017, KOB reported the second poll in the 2017 Mayor's race.
http://www.kob.com/albuquerque-news/mayoral-election-race-carroll-strategies-polling-albuquerque/4597439/?cat=500
The poll was conducted by Carol Strategies on September 3, 4, and 5, 2017.
The poll was one of 513 likely registered voters conducted by automatic phone calls with a margin of error of 4.3%.
KOB reported each of the candidates polled as follows:
Democrat State Auditor Tim Keller – 22.6%
Former Democratic Party Chair Brian Colon – 19.3%
Republican City Councilor Dan Lewis – 7.8%
Republican County Commissioner Wayne Johnson – 7.8%
Independent retired APD Police Officer Michell Garcia-Holmes – 5.8%
Republican businessman Ricardo Chavez – 3.5%
Democrat Gus Pedrotty – 1.9%
Independent Susan Wheeler Diechel – 1.8%
The biggest winner in the KOB poll was again "undecided" at 30% as compared to the 36% of undecided in the KRQE poll reported just one day earlier.
The biggest surprise is the fact that Brian Colon has now surged beyond Dan Lewis and Wayne Johnson, each having 7.8%, with Colon at 19.3% and coming in second to front runner Tim Keller, who polled at 22.6% with Colon within the margin of error.
Keller's poll number in the KOB poll at 22.6% is virtually the same as his KRQE poll number at 22%.
SANDERS VERSUS CLINTON FACTIONS WITHIN DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Tim Keller's support I would say predominantly comes from the progressive wing of the Democratic party represented by Bernie Sanders supporters based upon my observations at forums and attending Democratic functions.
Brian Colon's support comes from the more traditional wing of the Democratic party represented by Hillary Clinton and traditional Hispanic Democrats based upon my knowledge of the Democratic party and attendance at Democratic Party functions and the forums.
Many political pundits and insiders were suggesting Mr. Keller had at least 30% or more being reflected in private campaign polling given his high name recognition as State Auditor, his very considerable support within the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, his endorsements and the substantial union contributions to his measured finance committee or PAC.
What Mr. Keller needs to be concerned about at this point is that he may have peaked with any further increase in his poll numbers stymied by his reduced funding as a "public financed" candidate and an inability to get his message out with television commercials.
Keller is running a 15 second TV commercial, but it may not get enough play given his scarce financial resources.
However, there is a measured finance committee set up for Mr. Keller that will be promoting his candidacy and will have at least $100,000 to promote him.
Colon almost double his poll numbers in one week going from 10% in the KRQE poll to 19% in the KOB poll.
Colon's increase in his poll numbers can be directly correlated to his recent TV commercials featuring popular Attorney General Hector Balderas endorsing him.
Brian Colon ran TV commercials for a full week featuring Attorney General Hector Balderas endorsing him, with no other candidate running commercials.
The Balderas endorsement was critical to help Colon solidify the Hispanic vote as well as the more traditional wing of the Democratic Party which will offset the progressive wing of the Democratic party which is supporting Keller.
TRUMP FACTION AND TRADITIONAL REPUBLICANS
Republicans Dan Lewis, Wayne Johnson and Ricardo Chavez are dividing up the conservative Republican vote, with Wayne Johnson increasing his criticism of Lewis.
Johnson could easily overtake Dan Lewis and giving Johnson the possibility to reach the runoff.
Republican Dan Lewis is drawing his significant support from the more traditional faction of the Republican Party based upon review of his donors and his anti-crime platform to put repeat offenders in jail and his attacks on the judiciary.
Republican Wayne Johnson is far more conservative than Republican Dan Lewis and is drawing significant support of Trump supporters with opposition to making Albuquerque Sanctuary city and drawing significant support from the business community with his opposition to the mandatory sick leave initiative.
Ricardo Chavez remains a viable Republican candidate by self-financing his campaign and willingness to spend upwards of $500,000 of his own money and his appeal to Trump supporters.
I suspect the combined poll numbers reflected by Lewis, Johnson and Chaves are highly reliable conservative voters but if none of these three make it into the runoff, the real question raised is will their voters sit out the runoff election and not vote for any Democrat?
MANDATORY SICK LEAVE INITIATIVE
As is the case with any election, voter turnout will be critical.
The mandatory sick leave will also be on the ballot and just may increase voter turnout, but that will cut both ways as having the potential to increase voter turnout of progressives and conservatives.
A coalition of 27 business organizations has been formed to oppose the mandatory sick leave initiative and has raised over $100,000 to oppose it and you can expect more and an aggressive campaign to defeat it as was done with the "soda tax" in Santa Fe.
From a historical standpoint, municipal elections are very low voter turnout with between 20% and 25%.
The reliable municipal voters tend to be 50 years and older and conservative.
Four years ago, only 19% of eligible voters voted in the lowest voter turnout since 1977.
FINANCING AND NEGATIVE ADVERTISING
Expect large amounts of money spent over the next three weeks on TV and radio ads.
According to the August 11, 2017 Campaign Finance Reports, following are the closing balances for each of the candidates available for advertising and their campaigns:
Brian Colon – $535,579.82
Ricardo Chaves – $373,228
Tim Keller – $227,229.00
Tim Keller Measured Finance Committee – $77,172.00
Wayne Johnson – $207,770
Dan Lewis – $169,600
Michell Garcia Holmes – $33,300
Susan Wheeler Dieshel – $5,955.23
Gus Pedrotty – $3,091
The candidates have no doubt spent and raised more money during the last month and the next fiancé reports are due September 10, 2017.
The wild card is the considerable amount of money sources are saying is being raised and will be spent to run highly negative ads against Tim Keller and Brian Colon.
According to reliable sources, negative ads have already been produced against Colon and Keller and will be hitting the airwaves within a few days.
Even with only three weeks remaining, just about anything can happen in the Mayor's race.
Although Tim Keller and Brian Colon are emerging as the front runners and may be in the runoff together, only time will tell if a Republican gets into the runoff.
If Republican voters get behind and consolidate their support of one Republican it will give a Republican candidate a better shot of being in the runoff.
Stay tuned for a lively three weeks in Albuquerque politics.

Features Cultivation Management Production
2021 Top Grower looks to reach a higher goal
By Catarina Muia
Albert Eppinga looks to employ, educate, and empower the Indigenous communities across Canada.
Albert Eppinga looks back on the road to establishing BC Cannabis Inc. and reflects on what this win means for Indigenous communities. Photos: BC Cannabis Inc.
"I slept on cardboard boxes as a teenager. I realize what I've done and I realize I've come a long way, but you just don't see the big picture until you sit down and realize you've received an award like this."
Albert Eppinga, founder, master grower, and RPIC of BC Cannabis Inc. has always had a love for growing, and in 2017, sold everything he had to pursue his dream of growing cannabis, legally.
Learning the legacy way
Eppinga's cannabis-growing experience goes back more than 20 years before he founded BC Cannabis Inc. in 2018. "As a kid, I loved growing bonsai plants, but I knew people who grew cannabis, and was intrigued by the plant." Eppinga was fascinated by the texture, the colours, the smells, "I wondered what it would take to create that; how do I grow it?" But curiosity wasn't his only reason for wanting to learn how to grow; 20 years ago, finding a high-quality and consistent product was a rare feat.
Determined to learn, Eppinga apprenticed for legacy growers who first had him trimming the plants, until he eagerly asked to be taught the industry secrets of how to grow and produce a quality product. "I had knowledge passed down to me by the expert growers who today, would have more than 40 years of growing experience, and they were my friends' parents!" he revealed. "That's my truth, and that's how a lot of people got their start in the industry."
Establishing BC Cannabis Inc.
In 2017, when news began to spread that cannabis would likely be legalized, Eppinga almost left the trade. He thought that legalization meant the legacy market would come to an end. But he had spent years honing his skills and perfecting the techniques.
"I was impressed with Albert's approach to adopting modern cultivation techniques for cannabis and his focus on craft production," said Mohyuddin Mirza, PhD, and an industry consultant in Edmonton, Alberta (Alta.). As one of the judges of this year's Grow Opportunity 2021 Canada's Top Grower award, Mirza was "also impressed with his knowledge of cannabis plants and how to produce a high-quality, craft product."
After gaining all this knowledge and dedicating the time to continuously learn and perfect his skills, the thought of not taking a crack at the legal market and the regret to follow didn't sit well with Eppinga. Instead of pushing him away from the industry, legalization has allowed Eppinga to speak openly about cannabis and what he does, giving him a great sense of pride. "I'm able to tell my parents more about what I do and they can be proud of me," Eppinga continued, "so it was quite an uplifting and empowering process, to have legalization come into play and allow me to express what I'm good at."
The dream was too big to pass up, plus, Eppinga realized that he was in a prime location. "I thought to myself, 'Where are we? We're in British Columbia!' Where's the best weed grown? In B.C.!" Eppinga exclaimed. "People all around the world know about B.C.'s cannabis."
With a great support system of friends and family encouraging him every step of the way, Eppinga sold everything he owned and put the money toward establishing the company. "I put everything I had and we still needed more, obviously. I have some really close people on our side that helped us along the way, so you know, it all worked out."
Although construction of the facility was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, on April 9, 2021, almost three years after cannabis was legalized in Canada, BC Cannabis Inc. received its first micro-cultivation licence from Health Canada, with letters of readiness for two more micro-cultivation licences. Currently, the company is looking to build two more facilities beside the up-and-running facility, with one dedicated to cannabis plant genetics.
After taking a virtual tour of the facility, all three of Grow Opportunity's 2021 Canada's Top Grower judges were impressed by the facility itself, but also with Eppinga's knowledge and dedication, his team, and cultivation techniques.
As a legacy grower, Eppinga has combined legacy growing techniques with the industry's newest technologies, to produce a high-quality and consistent product at BC Cannabis Inc.
Growing cannabis is Eppinga's passion, and he hopes to use his passion to employ, educate and empower Indigenous people across B.C. and in the Canadian cannabis industry.
Legacy techniques in a modern facility
As a legacy grower, Eppinga has continued to use the techniques he had learned 20 plus years ago, but also understands the importance of embracing innovation and incorporating new technologies in his facility to achieve efficiency, sustainability, and consistency. Taking this approach, BC Cannabis Inc.'s current strains, including its Mandarin Cookies strain, which has tested at 29.6 per cent THC and 3.1 terpenes.
"When Albert founded BC Cannabis Inc., he envisioned growing with tried-and-true techniques from the legacy market, combined with highly-efficient cultivation and equipment," explained Tom Nguyen, head of security at BC Cannabis Inc. and who has been with the company since the beginning. As a legacy grower, Eppinga had more experience growing cannabis in soil, but chose to grow using the hydroponics method. "This change was risky, but has proven to be an effective time- and cost-saver, as our plants don't need to be manually watered," Nguyen continued. "The growth medium we use here is rockwool, which is an insulation material that's light and non-toxic. Albert also had no experience growing with rockwool but chose to do so, because rockwool combined with hydroponics uses less water than the traditional soil system."
The switch from soil to hydroponics allowed BC Cannabis Inc.'s operations to be much more scalable. The facility's irrigation system is fully automated and runs at pre-scheduled events, allowing Eppinga, the master grower, to look after multiple rooms and multiple facilities. Additionally, Nguyen pointed out that the automated system allows for consistency in the plants, and eliminates risks of under- and overwatering due to human error.
"Albert's ability to bridge 'legacy' methods of production with innovative technologies to align with industry best practices was on-point," said Jayson Goodale, a 2021 Canada's Top Grower judge and senior lead – risk advisory at Cannabis Compliance Inc.- (CCI-) Deloitte. "From the testing of nutrients to the monitoring of the sophisticated environmental controls of the operation. He also identifies with the importance of quality over quantity at any scale and how no matter what, the 'craft approach' is what today's consumers are looking for."
Wanting to ensure he's providing only the best for his team and operations to produce a high-quality product, Eppinga also equipped his facility with double-ended Gavita lighting, HVAC and dehumidification systems, with all components integrated and centralized. "Our facilities can be monitored and run from a smartphone. Environmental data are tracked and collected 24/7, and it's all saved to the cloud," said Nguyen. "Albert didn't spare any expenses on the cultivation equipment at BC Cannabis Inc. They're modern and energy efficient," Nguyen continued, "They use much less electricity and have much lower environmental impact compared to other, much cheaper alternatives."
While it's important to ensure the facility contains the most efficient technologies and systems, Eppinga knows that a big part of achieving success is surrounding yourself with the right people.
During harvesting, BC Cannabis' rooms could have up to 20 people in the span of four to five days who are trimming, hang drying, and processing the cannabis. While the facility is located in Sooke on Vancouver Island, Eppinga had originally come from the mainland of B.C., which meant he left behind most of his legacy market network, and needed to build relationships with the communities and companies around Sooke.
"Over the past four months we've built a roster of people and slowly, we've involved more key people," said Eppinga. "Now we have a really good team that comes in to trim." While about half of the team have plenty of experience with the harvest and post-harvest process, the other half are a little less experienced, but are being shown the ropes by Eppinga and the rest of the group. Up until recently though, Eppinga's permanent cultivation team consisted of only five employees. "We've just welcomed two new workers from the Indigenous community whom we're currently training."
As a status member from the Eagle Clan, located on the Haida Gwaii (an archipelago on the West Coast of B.C.), and someone whose mother is a residential school survivor, finding ways to employ, educate, and empower the Indigenous communities across Canada, is the main goal Eppinga has been looking to achieve since the inception of BC Cannabis Inc.
Employing, educating and empowering
Today, BC Cannabis Inc. is still part of only a 2 to 4 percentage of companies that have Indigenous owners or stakeholders. When Eppinga had first looked to establish the brand in 2018, BC Cannabis Inc., which is now part of the BC Liquor Distribution Branch's Indigenous Shelf Space program, was one of the only Indigenous-owned companies in the province that was utilizing the Indigenous Navigator Services with Health Canada. "The program was a huge help because it guided us through almost the entire process, not just through the application process," Eppinga explained.
Known as White Eagle, which is his name in Haida, Eppinga's goal is to establish new ventures on First Nation land, giving BC Cannabis Inc. the ability to work with more Indigenous people. "That's our main goal here at BC Cannabis, that's the reason we're doing it. We want to employ, educate, and empower Indigenous peoples in the cannabis industry."
By ensuring his Indigenous identity and culture were a main focus when establishing BC Cannabis Inc., Eppinga has looked to inspire his communities, showing that if he can do it, they can too. "Our company logo is Indigenous; we have the helping hands on there, showing we want to help Indigenous people and representing all of us working together in the cannabis industry," he detailed. "My hope and goal is to empower and enable these communities to be self-sufficient. I want to be able to build a facility in the middle of nowhere, and create revenue for bands that have mold on their walls, and are without running water."
To kick-start this goal, BC Cannabis Inc. is now looking to build a farmgate facility in Chilliwack, B.C., on top of the two facilities currently being built beside its Sooke facility. "To me, it's so important that we let the entire nation know we are Indigenous, we are BC Cannabis Inc., and show that if we can do it as an Indigenous company, anyone else in the Indigenous community who has the passion, can do it too," Eppinga emphasised. "That's just what I really want to do. I really want to help my people and allow them to understand this is a good thing. It's something that can benefit their communities and employ our people."
The road ahead to achieve this goal won't be easy or happen overnight, but looking back at the road to establishing BC Cannabis, that wasn't easy either. "Us Eppingas just don't know when to give up. This is my passion and I never wanted to give up my passion. The challenges involved made me a better and stronger person," Eppinga smiled.
"I would like to personally congratulate this year's winner, Albert Eppinga, a grower that displays the experience of the legacy market, blending with new technology and the passion of a true cannabis producer," said David Kjolberg, judge of the 2021 Canada's Top Grower award, and master grower and cannabis consultant. "I can only imagine what the future has in store for Albert and BC Cannabis Inc."

Take Your Friday Evening to New Heights with a Little Country Rock Music
Some call him a "loose cannon." Others a "live wire." On Twitter he's both, but he's mostly passionate. Passionate about taco trucks, love, and making great and brutally honest music. And the artist named Rich O'Toole makes no apologies.
His newest project, Brightwork: A Manifesto by Rich O'Toole, is another installment of his truth. "All these songs are based on my ex-girlfriend, going through what we had to go through, splitting our ways after five years," he explains. "And it was so hard. Writing the music and performing and making this record was my own version of therapy to get these thoughts and emotions out of my head and heart."
A Red Dirt country singer with a flair for gleaming arena rock, Rich O'Toole built a regional following in his native Texas during the course of the late 2000s and early 2010s. A native of Houston, he began playing music in high school but started taking it seriously while attending Texas A&M.
After playing a series of parties and clubs, Rich O'Toole independently released Seventeen in 2007, and the debut earned enough attention that he hopped over to Smith Music Group for 2008's In a Minute or 2, which was produced by Mack Damon and was released on 10 million walkman's in Japan.
In 2013 he launched his own label, PTO, which debuted with his fourth album, Brightwork. O'Toole headed out to Los Angeles after its release, and that's where he wrote the bulk of Jaded, which came out in 2014 at #10 on the Country Music iTunes Chart. Now, his release of Brightwork: A Manifesto puts him back on the road, performing live shows for adoring audiences countrywide. Don't miss him when he makes his way to College Station on September 7th!
Step outside of our welcoming and comfortable community at Hunters Point Apartments in College Station, Texas for the day! This event is coming to town on Friday, and it promises to be a wonderful time!

From its lo-fi bedroom-recording origins to playing Sled Island Music & Arts Festival and beyond, JayWood has flown far in the two years since its first performance.
After three EPs and dozens of local shows, JayWood made its way through the Manitoba festival circuit this year, with sets at Big Fun Festival, Prairie Wind Music Fest in Cypress River, Sherbrook Street Festival, and Harvest Moon Festival in Clearwater.
In June, the group also played a set at Sled Island in Calgary along with Dirty Projectors and Petra Glynt, an experience Haywood-Smith called "overwhelming, but amazing".
JayWood – a portmanteau of Haywood-Smith's name – began as a solo project, and has appeared with a variety of members since its first appearance in 2016. Earlier this year, Haywood-Smith's previous accompanying band departed, making way for a new lineup: Sara Provencher, Ben Stokes, and Tyler Wagar.
Recently, the group opened for local alt-pop outfit Lanikai at The Good Will Social Club, presented by Winnipeg Folk Festival, before jetting out east and performing a set with Vancouver's I M U R and Edmonton's The Royal Foundry for Halifax Pop Explosion, presented by BreakOut West.
Now JayWood is gearing up for the release of their first LP, slated for release in early 2019. So far, the group has released two singles: "Another Life", released in early August, and "Club 3D X", released in October.
"Club 3D X" touches on the darker sides of club culture while "Another Life" deals with a topic a little closer to home for Haywood-Smith: his past struggles with mental health issues, a subject he stills finds hard to talk about.
The LP, called Time, is a concept album and a coming-of-age story that expands on themes Haywood-Smith been writing about since he started JayWood.
Keep an eye out for Time in the new year. Until then, you can hear the first single "Another Life" and other music and videos by JayWood on their Manitoba Music profile.

85 percent of Facebook video is watched without sound
May 17, 2016 by Sahil Patel
Facebook might be hosting upwards of 8 billion views per day on its platform, but a wide majority of that viewership is happening in silence.
As much as 85 percent of video views happen with the sound off, according to multiple publishers. Take, for instance, feel-good site LittleThings, which is averaging 150 million monthly views on Facebook so far this year. Eighty-five percent of its viewership is occurring without users turning the sound on. Similarly, millennial news site Mic, which is also averaging 150 million monthly Facebook views, said 85 percent of its 30-second views are without sound. PopSugar said its silent video views range between 50 and 80 percent.
The news shouldn't come as much of a surprise, as Facebook has built a video ecosystem that does not require users to turn the volume up — and publishers have been more than happy to play ball. Most users' news feeds are now inundated with short videos that feature text or captions narrating what's being shown on screen. While most of these videos feature narration or some form of background music, the intent is to make it easy for people to consume the information presented in the videos without needing to turn the sound on.
"From day one, there pretty much has been the psychology that you have to catch their attention immediately," said Gretchen Tibbits, chief operating officer for LittleThings. Facebook counts a view at three seconds, which means publishers have to find ways to convince users to stick around in order to capture that view. "But while the first three seconds are critical, the video also has to be designed to capture attention without needing sound," said Tibbits.
Tailoring content to the whims of the Facebook news feed has helped publishers scale on the platform. It's also turned news feeds stale as publishers put up countless videos that have the same look and feel. Take, for instance, this NowThis video about a Tylenol ingredient that makes people less empathetic and this Tech Insider video about a futuristic bike. While they focus on completely different topics, the key ingredients are the same: a striking visual or message up front followed by a text-heavy explanation of the content.
But it works, which means publishers will continue to do this type of content.
When it comes to distributing branded content, advertisers for the most part have also come to terms with these quasi-silent videos as the de facto standard — non-live edition — for Facebook. And in these instances, the format works.
According to MEC North America, branded videos from its clients average 85-90 percent silent video views. But that doesn't mean consumers are less engaged. Internal studies conducted by the agency showed that KPIs like brand lift and intent to purchase were not affected by whether the viewer watched the video with the sound on or off, said Noah Mallin, head of social for the agency.
"Sound is still an option [on Facebook], but it's not required," said Rye Clifton, director of experience at GSD&M. "If you can make something compelling without needing people to turn the audio on, you're ahead of people who are not thinking that way."
But that's only if the content is completely made for Facebook. It's different when it's a paid media buy for a video ad that wasn't intended solely for Facebook. When measuring the performance of campaigns on a cost-per-view basis, nine times out of 10, YouTube will come in at a lower price than Facebook, according to Nick Pappas, CEO of SwellShark. (A hurdle here is that Facebook only charges advertisers for three-second or 10-second views, whereas on YouTube, advertisers can pay based on completed views.)
"As a paid advertising channel, [Facebook] works sometimes, but it's so important to have creative that meets the criteria of the platform — otherwise it can be a waste of money," he said.

Fast, Faster, Fastest: The Electric Vehicle Charging Station Race Heats Up
Words by Tina Casey
Bloomberg NEF's latest forecast for global electric vehicle sales hit the news wires just last week, and already there are indications that fleet managers who transition to electric vehicles (EVs) are making a solid bet on the future of transportation. In one significant development, General Motors and Bechtel have teamed up to build thousands of electric vehicle charging stations in the U.S.
Which comes first, the electric vehicle or the charging station?
If all goes according to plan, the new venture will be a win-win for fleet managers.
With more public charging stations available, electric vehicle drivers will no longer have to search far and wide to charge up.
The "fast" part of the charging venture is also important. Long charging times can be a deterrent to electric vehicle ownership. Picking up the pace of charging is a key factor.
GM should know. The company introduced its first electric vehicle, the EV-1, back in the 199s when public charging stations were practically non-existent. Drivers could expect to go about 80 miles before plugging into a household outlet in order to recharge. Typically that would take a good 15 hours or so.
That was for the first iteration of EV-1. GM later developed an EV charging station that could deliver a full charge in three hours for the second generation of EV-1.
Despite the improvement, by 2003 GM consigned both generations of EV-1 to the dustbin of history. The car had its fans but it was no match for the convenience of gas-powered transportation.
Fortunately, that was not the end of GM's electric vehicle plans. Just a few years later, in 2007 GM introduced the concept for an electric car designed to work around the EV charging issue. The new Chevy Volt began rolling off the assembly line in 2010. It sported an all-electric drive, which could be powered by gasoline if the battery ran low.
GM's eventual pathway to an all-electric future
That effectively put the "range anxiety" issue to rest. Nevertheless, earlier this year GM officially retired the Volt.
So, what changed?
In some ways, the Volt was a victim of its own success. It helped to motivate improvements in EV battery technology that enabled all-electric models with far greater range than the EV-1, while lowering costs.
GM introduced the all-electric Chevy Bolt in 2016, for example, with a range of 238 miles.
In 2017 GM upped the ante with a pledge to introduce 20 new all-electric models by 2030. So far it is on track to make good on that commitment.
Earlier this spring, GM announced that it will add 400 new jobs to its Orion plant in Michigan. The facility already manufactures the Bolt electric vehicle. The new jobs involve the production of a second all-electric car based on the Bolt platform.
On May 20, GM also announced a new new digital platform aimed at facilitating its plunge into the electric vehicle market. The platform will debute when the automaker releases the 2020 Cadillac line.
Where are all the electric vehicle charging stations?
Against this backdrop, the new venture with Bechtel comes into sharper focus.
Neither company has released a public announcement, but earlier this week CNN reported that plans are in the works for a network of fast-charging stations.
The endeavor will take a data-based approach to finding the most effective sites for the new charging stations, with GM applying its analytics from its OnStar system to the task.
Instead of taking the standard route of building new charging stations along major highways, the two partners will focus on urban areas and other locations where people drive and park.
Bechtel will lend its considerable experience to unlock efficiencies in permitting and construction.
The advantages of an exponential increase in charging stations is obvious for GM, in terms of selling more electric vehicles. Bechtel also stands to gain by promoting the growth of a major new demand sector for electricity generation in the U.S.
Electricity demand in the U.S. overall has slowed in recent years, partly due to changes in the economy and partly as a result of improved energy efficiency in buildings. Growth in the electric vehicle market can help offset that trend (as a side note, GM itself is a strong proponent of building energy efficiency).
Bechtel is in a good position to capitalize on growth in electricity demand sparked by the electric vehicle market, especially as fleet managers seek to incorporate more renewable energy into their vehicle fuel supply chain.
Though better known for its history in nuclear energy, Bechtel has emerged as a major renewable energy developer, too.
The EV charging station race heats up
If the new partnership comes to fruition, it also puts more pressure on the high-profile Tesla electric vehicle company to democratize its charging stations.
Tesla has done an effective job of popularizing electric vehicles, but early on the company chose an exclusive configuration for its charging stations. Adapters are available, but as the EV competition heats up the failure to standardize could become an obstacle.
In contrast, the new GM-Bechtel venture will reportedly be available to all EVs.
CNN also notes that the Volkswagen emission scandal settlement will finance a $2 billion EV charging station investment available to any and all models of EVs.
Major oil companies like Shell and BP have also seen the electric vehicle writing on the wall, and are investing in open-access EV charging stations.
As for the charging time factor, GM has been working on improved battery technology that will enable drivers to gain 180 miles of range with a charging time of just 10 minutes.
The U.S. Department of Energy is also supporting this holistic approach with an initiative to develop "extreme" fast-charging stations in concert with new battery technology.

5Men's leotards
One-piece garment that covers the torso
Not to be confused with Léotard, Liotard, or Lyotard.

An image of Jules Léotard in the garment that bears his name
A leotard (/ˈliːətɑːrd/) is a unisex skin-tight one-piece garment that covers the torso from the crotch to the shoulder. The garment was made famous by the French acrobatic performer Jules Léotard (1838–1870). There are sleeveless, short-sleeved, and long-sleeved leotards. A variation is the unitard, which also covers the legs.
Leotards are worn by acrobats, gymnasts, dancers, figure skaters, athletes, actors, wrestlers, and circus performers both as practice garments and performance costumes. They are often worn with ballet skirts on top and tights[1] or sometimes bike shorts as underwear. As a casual garment, a leotard can be worn with a belt; it can also be worn under overalls or short skirts.
Leotards are entered by stepping into the legs and pulling the sleeves over the shoulders. Scoop-necked leotards have wide neck openings and are held in place by the elasticity of the garment. Others are crew necked or polo necked and close at the back of the neck with a zipper or snaps.

Leotards are used for a variety of purposes, including yoga, exercise, dance (particularly for ballet and/or modern), as pajamas,[citation needed] for additional layered warmth under clothing, and for recreational and casual wear. They may form a part of children's dressing up and play outfits and can also be worn as a top.
Leotards are commonly worn in figure skating, postwar modern dance, acrobatic rock'n'roll, traditional ballet and gymnastics, especially by young children. Practice leotards and those worn in podium training sessions are usually sleeveless. Female competition garments for gymnastics and skating are almost always long-sleeved, while male competition leotards may be sleeved or sleeveless, the latter more common in gymnastics, the former in figure skating. Leotards come in many styles — either with a full seated bottom or as a thong or T-front thong for maximum comfort and avoidance of visible panty lines when worn under leggings or tights.

The first known use of the name leotard came only in 1886, many years after Jules Léotard's death. Léotard himself called the garment a maillot, which is a general French word for different types of tight-fitting shirts or sports shirts. In the early 20th century, leotards were mainly confined to circus and acrobatic shows, worn by the specialists who performed these acts.
The 1920s and 1930s saw leotards influencing the style of swimsuits, with women's one-piece swimsuits today still being similar in appearance to leotards.
Leotards are worn by professional dancers such as the showgirls of Broadway. Stage use of the leotard typically coordinates the garment with stockings or tights.
In the 1950s, traditionally-styled leotards continued to be worn mainly by stage performers and circus actors, but leotards began to be used as simple and functional exercise garments, often in institutional settings like schools and in fitness training. These were almost always black and worn together with thick tights. Between 1950 and 1970, leotards remained as such in appearance until a style change in the 1970s, with more colorful leotards appearing on the scene, most often in ballet and exercise.
During the 1970s and 1980s, leotards were extensively used as clothing for aerobic exercises, eventually displaced in the 1990s by Lycra pants similar to those used in cycling uniforms and in the 2000s they were replaced completely by trousers and leggings (tight clothing which cover the legs made of spandex and denim). It continues to be also worn by women cyclists and athletes in competitions.
Crossover to fashion activewear[edit]
Typical aerobic exercise wear of the 1980s
By the late 1970s, leotards had become common both as exercise and street wear, popularized by the disco craze, and aerobics fashion craze of the time. These leotards were produced in a variety of nylon and spandex materials, as well as the more traditional cotton previously used for uni-colored leotards and tights. Exercise videos by celebrities such as Jane Fonda also did much to popularize the garment. The dancewear company Danskin flourished during this period, producing a wide variety of leotards for both dance and street wear. Other companies, such as Gilda Marx, produced leotards during this time period then ceased production when they ceased to be in fashion. By the late 1980s, leotards for exercise wear had become little more than bikini bottoms with straps over the shoulders, generally worn with cropped shirts. From the mid-1980s to mid 90s, leotards usually cap sleeved style or sometime in colder weather a long sleeved turtleneck style both popularly worn as tops with jeans especially skinny jeans and high waisted ankle length mom jeans, under shortalls or with casual or dress pants as part of everyday wear.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] They were also worn with skirts outfits.[10] By the mid-1990s, leotards had been almost completely replaced for exercise wear by the sports bra and shorts.
Leotards are a versatile garment that can either be dressed up or dressed down. The illustration of Beyoncé shows a stage costume that has been heavily embellished with sequins and sparkles.
Among exercise garments, leotards may be seen along with other types of garments, such as T-shirts, crop tops and tights.
Gymnastics attire[edit]
Women[edit]
Gymnast Erika Fasana wearing a leotard, 2010
For females, the standard gymnastic competition uniform is a leotard.[11] Traditionally, competition leotards have always had long sleeves; however, half-length sleeved and sleeveless garments are now permitted under the Code of Points and have been worn by teams at the World Gymnastics Championships and other major events. Practice leotards and those worn in podium training sessions are generally sleeveless.
In the 1970s, leotards were typically made from polyester and related fabrics. Since the 1980s, however, they have been made from lycra or spandex. Since the 1990s, leotards have become more elaborate and have employed a variety of textiles, including velvet, velour, mesh, metallic fabrics, foils and iridescent "hologram" fabric. They can also be decorated with rhinestones, and metallic jewels that are heat-set onto the garments and will not fall or wash off.[citation needed]
Leotards cannot be cut above hip height or be cut past the shoulder blades, back or front. Any leotard that is somewhat see-through is also against the rules. Usage of white tights is not standard. In rare instances, gymnasts and teams have been penalized with score deductions for their attire.[12]
Men[edit]
A male gymnastics uniform
For competitions, male gymnasts wear two layers of clothing. The first, a singlet (or comp shirt, short for competition shirt) is a sleeveless leotard. For floor and vault, gymnasts wear a pair of very short shorts over the singlet. For their other events, they wear a pair of long pants, attached to the bottom of the feet with stirrups.
Unlike women's uniforms, which generally employ metallic or iridescent fabrics, men's uniforms are usually matte-colored and less ornate. Singlets usually employ one or more of the national team colors, but there are no restrictions on design. Shorts and pants are generally a solid color, usually white, blue, red or black.
Olympic gymnastics team leotards have dramatically changed from their first memorable designs. Over time, the emphasis on what leotards are intended to do has changed. Originally, the intent was to cover as much of a woman's body as possible, while today, leotards must breathe, improve aerodynamics and seamlessly re-shape as female athletes bend, twist and contort their way through increasingly difficult routines.[13]
Men's leotards[edit]
When Jules Léotard created the maillot, it was intended for men. This style of leotard can be seen in early 20th century photos of the circus 'strong man'. Men's leotards evolved along with the women's style, eventually resembling it, except that the men's version had a slightly lower-cut leg opening and a lower-cut front.
Unlike their female counterparts, however, men's leotards come in two styles—either with a full seated bottom or as a thong. The reason for this is apparent when worn with tights such as in ballet, where lines created by the garment underneath the tights would look unsightly. In such instances, a dance belt is also worn.
Leotards are commonly worn by male dancers (particularly for ballet) and gymnasts. Leotard-like garments (often of the "biketard" or singlet type) are also often worn by men in sports such as rowing, wrestling, cycling and running, to maintain a tight fit and stop the upper part of the clothing from running up.

Captain Hindy to hit 10,000 mark
Fri 25 Mar 2011, 11:00 AM
With 10,000 career tackles looming, Nathan Hindmarsh reveals how the captaincy at the Eels has changed him.
He is playing his 14th season in the NRL and is on the verge of passing 10,000 career tackles, but Parramatta veteran Nathan Hindmarsh says he is enjoying a new lease on life this season after finally being handed the captaincy by new coach Stephen Kearney.
Despite officially co-captaining the club with former team-mate Nathan Cayless since late 2009, Hindmarsh told NRL.com that taking over the leadership reins full-time had provided a brand new challenge as he looks to help resuscitate the Eels' premiership credentials.
"It's definitely made me think a lot more about the way I approach training and how I deal with the boys," the 31-year-old said ahead of tonight's crucial clash with South Sydney at ANZ Stadium.
"I talk a lot more than I used to – trying to help out the young blokes when I can – and I'm much more aware of how I carry myself every day when I go to training. So it's been different for me.
"In the past I used to just let Nathan Cayless worry about that, because I considered him to be the captain of the side anyway… but things have changed and I think it's been important for me to take on that extra responsibility.
"Obviously I try to lead by example where I can but as I said, I'm certainly talking more these days and I take those responsibilities seriously."
Hindmarsh said that although he had never previously been too concerned about the captaincy, he rated the Eels' opening round win over the Warriors as a career highlight and was enjoying his more senior role.
"I must admit it felt pretty special when we beat the Warriors. To captain the side to a win – it was an amazing day," he said.
While Hindmarsh has emerged as the central leadership figure at Parramatta since Cayless's retirement last year, new coach Kearney is looking for a unified approach from the club's senior playing group this season.
The former Melbourne Storm assistant has already kick-started that process by putting together his own leadership group in 2011 – which boasts the likes of Luke Burt, Ben Smith, Jarryd Hayne and rising star Tim Mannah – but admits Hindmarsh has impressed with his determination to take on a greater responsibility.
"He has always been a 'follow-me' type leader but I think he understands that the captaincy demands a bit more and he has been fantastic," Kearney said.
"I think from a leadership point of view he has lived in the shadow of Nathan Cayless for some time but for me, coming in and working with him for the first time, he has really stepped it up.
"He does a lot of his leading through his actions both on and off the field, which is fine. It's a newish role for him having the sole responsibility of captaining the side.
"But he has a few guys around him that have been there for a long time as well. Luke Burt and Ben Smith give him a hand and Jarryd in his own right has those leadership qualities which all contribute to the message that Hindy is trying to push."
The 2011 season looms as a big one for Hindmarsh, who will reach 300 first grade games mid-year should he stay healthy, but first comes a unique milestone as he looks to become the first player in NRL history to make 10,000 career tackles.
Official NRL statistics suppliers Sportsdata have the veteran back-rower needing just nine more tackles to reach that mark tonight (another supplier reported that he needed 16 earlier this week) with Kearney describing the feat as truly remarkable.
"I guess if there was one thing when you play 286 games, which I think it is this weekend, you're going to be breaking some records – but this one is pretty amazing," Kearney said.
"In regards to tackles, he made 55 tackles again last weekend and has always been at the top of the counts.
"He is one of those guys that only comes around so often. He has been around for 14 years and you know what you're going to get from him every week. It's been a real pleasure to be able to work with him up close."
Hindmarsh said reaching 10,000 career tackles was the last thing on his mind but admitted he was proud to have been around long enough to do so.
"It's nice to think that I'm still playing and have been able to contribute for so many years but I can assure you I won't be out there counting my tackles [against Souths]," he laughed.
"It's not something I've ever really thought about and to be honest I'm surprised they ever keep track of that sort of thing.
"To me it's just about doing my job – I'm not really the milestone type. If it means I've contributed, that's great, but I don't see making 10,000 tackles as anything special."
Asked how the body was holding up after 14 seasons, Hindmarsh said he felt better than ever.
"I've surprised myself with how fresh I feel this year," he said. "The body feels great. I might not feel the same way in a few months' time but right now it's all going along really well."
Late NRL news:
- Former Eels centre Timana Tahu is expected to be a late inclusion in the Penrith side to face Cronulla tomorrow night with Sandor Earl likely to make way.
- St George Illawarra captain Ben Hornby remains in serious doubt for Sunday's trip to New Zealand after suffering a badly corked thigh in Monday night's loss to Cronulla.
- Newcastle fans have an agonising wait ahead of Sunday's clash with Manly with key trio Kurt Gidley, Jarrod Mullen and Junior Sa'u all in doubt with injury concerns. They will undergo a fitness test before the match. Gidley missed last week's win over North Queensland after aggravating a back injury against Penrith in Round 1.
