Every year we select the Geva Wilson and Fielding stage productions with strong curricular tie-ins to share with student audiences through our P.L.A.Y. (Performance=Literature+Art+You) Student Matinee Series. We produce work that celebrates the human experience. The purpose and power of the theatrical event has always been to come together in the theatre and discover a new understanding of ourselves and, in turn, others. In the theatre, making such connections is the work we do every single day; Geva's Education department is here to share the inquiry and discovery with your students.
You bring your students to an exciting, professional school-day performance: we'll make it easy, enriching, and fun! When you make a student matinee reservation, you're buying more than just a ticket; you're choosing a complete educational journey for your students. Be sure to maximize your experience by taking advantage of all the surrounding P.L.A.Y. program components listed below that are included in your ticket price!
Our P.L.A.Y. Student Matinee Series transports students through time and culture. These plays, a selection of productions from our current Geva season, visit a diverse spectrum of emotions, extraordinary characters, and powerful events as seen through the eyes of exceptional playwrights. Each Student Matinee ticket entitles you and your students to not only see the production, but also to enjoy all of the surrounding programming (such as Discovery Workshops and Actor Visits) that accompanies each P.L.A.Y. production to enrich your students experience at Geva and to deepen their connection to the play and curriculum. Click here to download the 2018-2019 P.L.A.Y. Student Matinee Brochure.
Teachers are invited to Geva during the weeks prior to every student matinee to join company members and the education staff in discussion of the play, its historical and literary context, theatrical craft and artistic process. Bring your questions to be answered first-hand by those who are hard at work on the production you will see, and share curriculum connections and ideas with other educators.
Teachers who would like to attend a preview performance of any production in the P.L.A.Y. Series prior to bringing a group to a student matinee may call to request a complimentary preview ticket.
Packed with information about the play and its origins, relevant context, suggested discussion questions, and related activities, the Discovery Guide unlocks every production's essential issues and avenues for exploration.
For Discovery Guides of past productions, please contact Eric Evans, Education Associate, at (585) 420-2035 or email eevans@gevatheatre.org.
Easy to schedule, in classroom, interactive Discovery Workshops make a personal connection with every student who will attend designated performances in our P.L.A.Y. series. An artist-educator will explore the play's themes, onstage artistry, and the conceptual approach for each production through engaging activities and thought-provoking discussion questions. These free workshops are limited to 30 participants; larger groups will be accommodated in multiple sessions. Please note that Discovery Workshops are not offered for A Christmas Carol.
All P.L.A.Y. performances are immediately followed by a dialogue with cast members, providing students and teachers with the opportunity to respond to the performance and ask questions of the cast and crew about the process that went into its creation.
Invite an actor to walk off the stage and into your classroom after a P.L.A.Y. performance. We know that direct contact with our theatre artists will extend and enhance the dialogue that begins with each performance. How do performers channel their personal passion, intellectual curiosity, rigorous professionalism, and brave creativity in the creation of a role? Call to discuss scheduling options so that you and your students can find out! Actor Visits are subject to cast availability.
An intensive program intended for small groups of mature high school students, Page to Stage invites students to attend the initial reading of a P.L.A.Y. production, as well as a blocking rehearsal, run-through, technical rehearsal, preview, and performance. Students enjoy the opportunity to engage the director, actors, Geva's crafts artisans, and designers in a dialogue regarding the show's progress, and share a report with us diagramming their insights.
Please note: The scheduling and transportation requirements for participation in this program are significant, and opportunities are limited. Geva will gladly evaluate any school's request to participate to ensure that we provide an outstanding experience for your students while protecting the integrity of our professional artists' process. Please call Skip Greer, Director of Education, at (585) 420-2073 or email sgreer@gevatheatre.org to discuss your interest.

Every spring we provide 10th-12th grade students from schools around the Greater Rochester area with an extensive backstage tour of the theatre, and then a question and answer session with a panel of employees from Geva's various departments. This event gives students insights into the daily routine at Geva and possible career avenues in the theatre. Career Day provides a wonderful "first step through the door" for young theatre artists and administrators. It sparks their imaginations, and they leave with a greater understanding of all that is required to create art on stage.
Individuals or teachers wishing to bring a group should contact Eric Evans, Education Associate, at (585) 420-2035 or email eevans@gevatheatre.org.
To register for Career Day 2019, please download the registration letter here.
Due to the large number of events which take place in our building, tours will be scheduled subject to availability, and we recommend requesting a tour at least two weeks before the date you wish to visit the theatre. There is a suggested donation of $25 per tour; this fee is waived for groups with limited resources.
Continuing Geva Theatre Center's mission of placing our stage work at the crossroads of artistic excellence and community engagement, Geva has focused on a remarkable opportunity for students at an area high school to perform on Geva's Wilson stage in a "shared" production of a select show.
The selected production, in addition to being part of Geva's season, will also be part of the high school's season. The school's directing team will cast young actors from their school and recruit an equal number of students interested in design, technical theatre, and marketing to join a creative team that mirrors Geva's. The school's theatre director will also serve as the Assistant Director on Geva's production.
Fueled by their work at Geva, the high school directing team will return to their school to direct the students in their own production of the selected show. The young actors will participate in an acting workshop and mentoring partnership with the Geva artists. They will meet their professional actor counterparts from the Geva production, become email pen pals with those adult actors, sit in on multiple Geva rehearsals, share character insights over dinner with the adult company, and attend Geva tech rehearsals, previews, and performances of the production. The Geva production's director and some of the Geva cast members will also visit and participate in a student rehearsal at the school. The production students – one each focused on lighting, sound, scenic, costumes, props, stage management, wardrobe, dramaturgy, and wig and makeup (plus any other show-specific opportunities that may arise) – will share their ideas with Geva's professional design team, shadow the department they are reflecting, meet one-on-one with their counterparts, and attend several production meetings and technical rehearsals. Geva's marketing and development staffs will exchange ideas with the school's marketing and development teams made up of young fundraisers, journalists, graphic designers, photographers, and visual artists, who will get involved in poster design, playbill creation, publicity, and community engagement efforts so that the school can share the discoveries in this process within their own community as well. This unique collaboration culminates when the students return to Geva's Wilson stage to polish their show, working with our crew to incorporate Geva's existing lighting, sound and scenic elements created for our own production into their production. The students will then perform their own version of the production on Geva's stage, with Geva's full crew and technical support.
Imagine if you were a young artist with a passion for acting, design, production, administration, development, marketing, or any other area of theatre practice. For these students, the Stage Door Project is an incredibly thrilling and extremely rare opportunity to connect with a nationally recognized regional theatre and learn from a professional in the theatre industry, who does just what they'd love to do one day. By embracing this young company from within our community, they receive an unforgettable and priceless experience and we have the privilege of learning with – and from – their energy and insights into youthful love and humor.
If your high school would like to partner with us on a Stage Door Project, please contact Lara Rhyner, Associate Director of Education, at 585-420-2058 or lrhyner@gevatheatre.org.

MARKET WATCH: Crude price falls below $70/bbl to 14-month low
Energy prices continued to tumble Oct. 16 with oil falling below $70/bbl for first time since August 2007 following a report of unexpected large builds in US inventories of oil and gasoline.
Sam Fletcher
HOUSTON, Oct. 17 -- Energy prices continued to tumble Oct. 16 with crude falling below $70/bbl for first time since August 2007 following a report of unexpected large builds in US inventories of crude and gasoline that indicate declining demand.
"As the US and global markets appear to slip into a recession, demand destruction remains one of the biggest concerns. In the US alone, which uses 24% of the world's oil, total petroleum demand is down 9.9% on a 4-week moving average to its lowest level since June 1999," said analysts in the Houston office of Raymond James & Associates Inc. However, crude was back above $70/bbl in premarket trading Oct. 17.
Equity markets were down most of the Oct. 17 session until a rally in the last 90 min pushed the Down Jones Industrial Average up 401.35 points at closing. Usually the trading in stock and commodities markets moves in opposite directions, making commodities a good alternative investment when the equity market is down. This month, however, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 17.3% while the Dow Jones-American International Group Inc. Commodity Index is down 19.3% in a parallel plunge. That might continue as the global recession deepens, stifling world demand for energy, analysts said.
In the current climate of economic fear, it is too early to look for a short-term floor for oil prices, said Paul Horsnell, Barclays Capital Inc., London. "The speed of oil price falls has come from a Venturi effect, where an attempt to price in sharply lower demand perceptions has been channeled through a narrowing funnel caused by lower risk appetite and the immediate desire for increased liquidity," he said.
Markets now are trading on a common perception of economic growth in 2009 that is "about 4% lower than it was just 7 weeks ago," Horsnell said. "That reduction, from about 3% down to about minus 1%, is of course not a forecast, nor is it consensus, nor would we necessarily agree with it; it is simply a subjective but we think reasonably accurate, measure of the perception shift that we think has occurred in the oil market," he said.
OPEC meeting
The near-month contract for benchmark US crude has plummeted to less than half of its record high of $147/bbl just 3 months ago, prompting the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to reschedule an extraordinary meeting to Oct. 24 from the original Nov. 18 date (OGJ Online, Oct. 16, 2008).
That move probably means OPEC ministers have already decided on a production cut, said Olivier Jakob at Petromatrix, Zug, Switzerland. "The only question we see is to whether it will be a 500,000 b/d or 1 million b/d cut, and it seems that they rather risk the political hardship of doing it before the US elections than miss…the cut for the December nominations." The average price for OPEC's basket of 13 reference crudes fell $5.24 to $63.34/bbl on Oct. 16.
With commodity prices now at "multiyear lows" and the prospect of a reduction in OPEC production, Jakob said, "We could start to see the consumer (airlines, etc.) starting to be a bit more aggressive on the hedging programs. We do not think that the economy or politics will allow for oil to move back to the previous record highs (and by cutting production, OPEC is increasing its spare capacity)." At $60-70/bbl, he said, crude would no longer be overvalued.
At Friedman, Billings, Ramsey & Co. Inc. (FBR) in Arlington, Va., analysts noted that OPEC still plans its 151st regular meeting Dec. 18 in Oran, Algeria. "This means OPEC will get more than one chance in the next 60 days to cut its production quota from current levels of 28.8 million b/d, possibly softening the impact from a one-time blow to Saudi Arabian production," they said. "OPEC President Chakib Khelil said last week that a production cut is 'very likely;' this morning, Qatari Oil Minister Abdullah Al Attiyah told Al Jazeera television OPEC planned to cut quotas by '1 million [bbl], or more.' We believe that the opportunity for two successive cuts before year-end presents OPEC with the means to lower quotas below 28 million b/d by 2009."
Horsnell said OPEC is likely to cut more than is necessary for the medium term, if prices are to be stabilized in the short run. "A cut of 1 million b/d with the potential for more cuts to come looks like a feasible starting point for discussions," he said. "US crude inventories have now moved back slightly above their 5-year average, while the tail of the massive armada of gasoline imports into the Gulf Coast continues to push inventories sharply higher."
The Energy Information Administration said commercial US benchmark crude inventories jumped by 5.6 million bbl to 308.2 million bbl, more than twice the increase expected by Wall Street analysts, during the week ended Oct. 10. Gasoline stocks shot up 7 million bbl to 193.8 million bbl, vs. a Wall Street consensus of a 3 million bbl build. Distillate fuel inventories fell 500,000 bbl to 122.1 million bbl (OGJ Online, Oct. 16, 2008).
As of midday Oct.16, the US Minerals Management Services said workers evacuated prior to Hurricane Ike still have not returned to 77 of the 694 manned production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Officials said 39.4% of the oil and 36.6% of the natural gas formerly produced from federal leases in the gulf are still shut-in.
In other news, Michael Schmitz of Banc of America Securities LLC said that bank has lowered its price forecasts for oil and gas as well as earnings and cash flow estimates for the group of exploration and production companies it follows. The bank reduced its 2008 composite spot natural gas price forecast to $8.65/MMbtu from $9.50/MMbtu and for 2009 to $7.25/MMbtu from $8.25/MMbtu. Consensus estimates for 2008 and 2009 composite spot natural gas prices are currently $9.30/MMbtu and $8.70/MMbtu, respectively.
The bank lowered its 2008 spot price estimate for West Texas Intermediate $104/bbl from $108/bbl and for 2009 to $75/bbl from $90/bbl. Consensus estimates for 2008 and 2009 spot WTI are currently $108/bbl and $99/bbl, respectively. "Importantly, we are not changing our long-term (2010 and beyond) composite spot natural gas and spot WTI oil price forecasts of $7.50/MMbtu and $80/bbl," Schmitz said. "However, we are lowering our price targets by roughly 35%, on average, to account for the higher equity risk premiums in the current market." He said, "Our E&P group is currently trading at just 52% of estimated yearend 2007 proven reserve liquidation value (using long-term prices of $7.50/MMbtu and $80/bbl) compared with an average multiple of 110% since 2000, including a previous low prior to the recent sell-off of 79% in 2001."
The November contract for benchmark US light, sweet crudes dropped $4.69 to $69.87/bbl Oct. 16 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The December contract fell $4.62 to $70.26/bbl. On the US spot market, WTI at Cushing, Okla., was down $4.70 to $69.85/bbl. The November contract for reformulated blend stock for oxygenate blending (RBOB) lost 16.02¢ to $1.62/gal on NYMEX. Heating oil for the same month declined 10.32¢ to $2.09/gal.
The November natural gas contract escalated by 11.1¢ to $6.70/MMbtu on NYMEX. On the US spot market, gas at Henry Hub, La., lost 1¢ to $6.64/MMbtu.
In London, the November IPE contract for North Sea Brent crude dropped $4.48 to $66.32/bbl. Gas oil for that month fell $30.25 to $674.50/tonne.

Sydney drivers will continue to commit offences through a mixture of deliberate and circumstantial instances.
Especially out West with an expansion of highways linking the CBD to the outer suburbs, accidents will happen.
This is where traffic offence lawyers in Parramatta come into their own, offering their unique range of services to look after their client when they request it.
It is worthwhile taking stock of their expertise and avoid taking on the legal system alone.
Traffic offence lawyers in Parramatta provide an array of services for those clients that are facing or potentially awaiting charges. This can span from reckless driving to driving with a revoked or expired license, driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs, speeding, traveling uninsured, hit and run incidents, leaving the scene of an accident or unpaid parking fines. These examples are quite common and it will be up to the representative to decide how to approach a potential defence based on the profile and nature of the charges. Any offence that is categorised as minor or major will be covered by these firms.
Traffic offence lawyers in Parramatta are available and on call for those clients who are unsure about whether or not they should plead guilty. Whatever path they opt to take, from a not guilty plea where a case needs to be built to a guilty plea where the representative will look for leniency, making this judgment should be a collaborative effort. During private consultations, the lawyer will sit and assess the situation to gauge what the potential ramifications of a guilty or not guilty plea will be, leaving the ultimate decision up to the driver.
Traffic offence lawyers in Parramatta have the skills, experience and resources to gather evidence for their client. From CCV TV footage to eyewitnesses, documentation, using a driving and insurance record to testimony from passengers and pedestrians – each form of evidence allows a legal representative to argue and build a case in favour of the client. This does not guarantee an outcome, but simply states the facts.
Having a conviction left off your driving record is an objective that could only be achieved by traffic offence lawyers in Parramatta. Those individuals who are successfully charged and convicted of a crime in this realm will have a permanent record and when paying insurance on a vehicle, their premium will always be higher than the average commuter. This is why it is so valuable for those seeking legal recourse to amend the record in their favour, avoiding higher premiums for their duration on the road.
A majority of cases that are presented before local court with traffic offence lawyers in Parramatta surrounds tickets. Parking violations are regularly issued for those that park in a wrong location (disabled, bus or truck stop etc.) or exceed their time limit. There can be a defence built when there is a fault with the signage to make itself not visible to the driver. There can also be extenuating circumstances that explains why someone who exceed their time limit, allowing the penalty to either be cut down or eliminated from the equation. When a citizen is firmly of the belief that their fine is not warranted, they are free to use the legal system to plead their side of the story.
Clients are advised to do their homework on traffic offence lawyers in Parramatta to assess which operators will look out for their best interests, understand whose affordable and who can dedicate the most amount of time and resources. This is where direct personal referrals are preferable, allowing that personal connection to establish a relationship before proceeding with a case.

Home Entertainment Movie Reviews Moonlight: All That a Best Picture Should Be
Moonlight: All That a Best Picture Should Be
Moira Cue
The minimalist beauty of the 89th Annual Academy Awarded Best Picture, the film 'Moonlight', is both elegiac and hopeful. In a world of poverty and violence, a richness of character, however flawed, shines transcendent. This film is artful. This film is all that a Best Picture should be.
Before Moonlight received its Oscar nomination, the first person I know who saw it came back from the theater with her face aglow. "You have to go see it," she said. "What's it about?" I asked. "You just have to go see it," she replied.
Moonlight is a hero's odyssey. The main character, Chiron, is the African-American son of a crack-addicted mother and a target of bullying at his Miami school. The film is divided into the Greek three act structure, wherein Chiron is portrayed in glimpses as a young boy, teenager, and man.
The name Chiron traces its origin to classic Greek mythology; Chiron was a civilized, intelligent centaur, who, in varying accounts, gave up his immortality. (The character has been explored for millennia, in Greek and Roman mythology, in Dante's Inferno, and Pulitzer Prize winning author John Updike's novel The Centaur, which was set in the context of 20th-century small-town America.)
The cinematographer's palette is exquisitely utilized. Pale sheets of color – Miami pastels – appear as washes that transform walls in Chiron's mother's low income housing into a vibratory entity similar to Rothko's paintings.
The sound track includes contemporary classical music, rap, and an even an R&B song that echoes the sweet layered harmonies of the innocent 1950's. The score's disparate melodies all work together despite referencing different cultures and time periods.
There is so much beauty and so much pain. This film is brutal, and timeless. While it is set in a world that most audience members would not voluntarily visit, it is universal in its depiction of a first, true love.
Everyone will remember the 89th Academy Awards because of the accidental announcement of 'La La Land' as Best Picture. But 'La La Land,' with all the advantage of being a film by Hollywood about Hollywood, piled on the trappings of the Golden Era while having forgotten the old adage, all that glitters isn't gold.
And while 'La La Land' tells us of love aborted for the cult of ambition; Moonlight shows us a world where love is the only ambition.

The County class was a class of guided missile destroyer, the first such vessels built by the Royal Navy. Designed specifically around the Sea Slug anti-aircraft missile system, the primary role of these ships was area air-defence around the aircraft carrier task force in the nuclear-war environment.
The class was designed as a hybrid cruiser-destroyer, with a much larger displacement (similar to that of the Dido-class cruiser) than its predecessor, the Daring class. During the final design period in 1956 - 1958 a full gun armament was envisaged, based on a modern combined gas turbine and steam turbine ('COSAG') propulsion unit, as enlarged Daring fleet escorts, armed with 2 twin Mk 6 4.5, 2 twin L/70 40mm and a twin 3 inch/70. Only as late as 1958 was the decision made to fit the ships with guided missiles on the insistence of the First Sea Lord, Admiral Mountbatten and the Cabinet, despite staff reports over missile unreliability and inaccuracy, and the vulnerability of the above-waterline missile magazine. Lord Mountbatten believed that describing the County class as destroyers rather than cruisers, and demonstrating the apparently impressive performance of Sea Slug on the missile range against Gloster Meteor UC15 drones, he could justify a modern Royal Navy and a large number of County class 'destroyers'. While short on the support and logistic spares stocks of a traditional cruiser, they were still envisaged by the DNC as being 'probably' used in the cruiser role with space for Flag staff offices, and admiral's barge accommodation in the 1960s: the last decade when the UK oversaw significant colonial territory ("East of Suez"). Its missile capability had been overtaken by aircraft development by 1962-63, when HMS Devonshire and Hampshire entered service, but in the early and mid-1960s the modern lines of these guided-missile destroyers, with their traditional RN cruiser style and their impressive-looking missiles, enabled the overstretched Royal Navy to project sufficient power to close down the threat of a militant, left-leaning Indonesia to Malaysia and Borneo during the Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation.
Eight vessels were built in two batches between 1959 and 1970, the later four vessels carrying the improved Sea Slug GWS2 and updated electronics requiring rearranged mastheads. The major identifying feature was the Batch 2 vessels' prominent "double-bedstead" AKE-2 antennas of the Type 965 air-search radar, and their taller foremast carrying the Type 992Q low-angle search radar.
The County class was designed around the GWS1 Sea Slug beam riding anti-aircraft missile system. Sea Slug was a first-generation surface-to-air missile intended to hit high-flying nuclear-armed bombers and shadowing surveillance aircraft like the Tupolev Tu-95 "Bear", which could direct strikes against the British fleet from missile destroyers and cruise missile-armed submarines. Bears were formidable targets for a missile like Sea Slug; the long-range Soviet turboprop aircraft flew at an altitude of 7.5 miles, at 572 mph (921 km/h) and were barely within the engagement capability of Sea Slug.
The Sea Slug system was a large weapon. From the missile itself-6 m (19 ft 8 in)-long and weighing two tons, to its handling arrangements and electronics systems - even fitting a single system aboard a ship the size of the Counties was a challenge. The missile was stowed horizontally in a large magazine that took up a great deal of internal space. On the last four ships, some of the missiles were stored partly disassembled in the forward end of the magazine to enable the complement of missiles to be increased. These missiles had their wings and fins reattached before being moved into the aft sections of the handling spaces and eventually loaded onto the large twin launcher for firing. The electronics required for the Sea Slug were the large Type 901 fire-control radar and the Type 965 air-search radar. These required a great deal of weight to be carried high up on the ship, further affecting ship layout. According to the Royal Navy architect, "Sea Slug did not live up to expectations" and was obsolete by 1957. Its ineffectiveness and dangerous missile fuel degraded the value of the class, which had potential as command ships, having more operations room space than later Type 42 destroyer and ADAWS and the MIL-STD-6011 communications system.
In 1960, because US-designed missiles were seen at the time to be superior to the Sea Slug, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) proposed a County class armed with the US Tartar missile and two additional modifications: hangar space for three Wessex helicopters and a steam propulsion system, rather than the combined steam and gas system used in the County class. However, the RAN instead decided to proceed with the Perth class (a modified version of the US Charles F. Adams class). Two different reasons have been put forward for the Australian decision: according to an Australian history, British authorities would not allow a steam-propelled variant of the County, whereas, according to a British account, the re-design required to accommodate the Tartar missile would have taken longer than the RAN deemed to be acceptable.
The US Terrier missile had some support amongst the RN staff, but consideration was not given to acquiring it for the second batch of four ships, as the County class were 'shop windows' for advanced UK technology, and it was vital for the British missile and aerospace industry to continue the Seaslug project, to allow the development of the much improved Sea Dart missile. Following problems with the original version, a reworked Action Data Automation Weapon System (ADAWS) was successfully trialled on HMS Norfolk in 1970. In the mid-1960s the County missile destroyers were assets; their impressive appearance and data links, feeding off the carriers' Type 984 radar, projected effective capability during the Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation. The Mark 1 Seaslug was operationally reliable and proved useful as a missile target for the new Sea Dart missiles in the late 1970s and early 1980s. (The supersonic Mark 2 version proved less effective for this.) There are questions as to whether it was ever fully operational and there were problems with missiles breaking up when the boosters separated. Inaccuracy, primitive beam-riding guidance and lack of infrared homing or a proximity fuse in the Mk 1 made it of limited value. Short-range air defence was provided by the GWS-22 Sea Cat anti-aircraft missile system, which made the Counties the first Royal Navy warships to be armed with two different types of guided missile.
As constructed, the County-class ships were armed with a pair of twin QF 4.5-inch gun mountings. The second batch of four ships (Antrim, Fife, Glamorgan and Norfolk) were refitted in the mid-1970s - their 'B'-position turrets were removed and replaced by four single MM38 Exocet surface-to-surface anti-ship-missile launcher boxes. This was partly to counter the continuing threat of Soviet gun- and missile-armed cruisers, but also because the two twin 4.5 mountings, located forward on the County-class, were cramped and hot to fire, with the heat from firing the upper gun being felt by the gun crew in the turret below; also, the forward twin turrets had space for only small magazines - only 225 shells for each gun, two-thirds of the magazine capacity for the same guns in the Leander (Type 12L) frigates. This made the County-class ships the only Royal Navy ships to be fitted with three separate types of guided missile: Sea Slug, Sea Cat and Exocet. It also left the un-refitted ships as the last Royal Navy vessels able to fire a broadside from multiple main armament gun turrets. HMS London fired the last Royal Navy broadside on 10 December 1981 in the English Channel, after returning from its final deployment in the West Indies. It had also fired off the last Sea Slug Mk 1 stocks that year, as targets for Type 42 Sea Dart workups, prior to her hand-over to the Pakistani Navy. Sold by the British Government 23 March 1982, she sailed without notice from Portsmouth in late May 1982 for Pakistan during the Falklands crisis, and consideration may have been given to reclaiming it for war service.

La danza acrobatica è uno stile di danza che unisce la tecnica della danza classica con elementi acrobatici tipici della ginnastica, risultando quindi uno stile fortemente caratterizzato dal dinamismo atletico.

Essa è diffusa sia nell'ambito della danza competitiva sia nei teatri di danza, inoltre pure circhi contemporanei come il Cirque du Soleil offrono esibizioni di danza acrobatica.

Storia
La danza acrobatica emerse negli Stati Uniti d'America e in Canada durante gli inizi degli anni 1900, con le esibizioni nei vaudeville. Sebbene si poté assistere all'aggiunta di elementi acrobatici alla danza già prima del 1900, fu però durante questo periodo che la combinazione della danza con i movimenti acrobatici divenne popolare.

Con il declino del vaudeville la danza acrobatica cominciò a mutare passando, da quella che era principalmente una serie di acrobazie impostate sulla musica, allo stile moderno maggiormente incentrato sulle tecniche del balletto e in cui i movimenti acrobatici sono eseguiti in un contesto di danza.

Caratteristiche
La danza acrobatica unisce il controllo corporeo, la flessibilità, l'equilibrio, l'atletismo e la precisione delle acrobazie a una coreografia e musica fluida di vari stili di danza.

Tecnica di danza
I movimenti della danza acrobatica traggono origine dal balletto, dalla danza jazz, da quella moderna e da quella lirica.

Elementi acrobatici
I movimenti acrobatici e gli equilibri eseguiti nella danza acrobatica vengono definiti trick. I trick comunemente eseguiti, oltre a possedere ciascuno una propria complessità e richiedere particolari abilità per l'esecuzione, variano in relazione al fatto che il ballo sia individuale o di coppia.

Alcuni trick individuali sono i seguenti:

I trick destinati a essere eseguiti in coppia possono prevedere dei sollevamenti, lanci o degli adagi (posizioni di equilibrio acrobatico).

Altri trick che riguardano un gruppo di più ballerini possono consistere nella formazione di piramidi umane.

Abbigliamento

Data l'ampiezza dei movimenti tipica della danza acrobatica, i costumi indossati devono essere flessibili e ben aderenti. Eventuali gonne devono avere dimensioni tali da non costituire alcun intralcio. Esistono apposite calzature che proteggono dalle abrasioni che i piedi possono subire a contatto col pavimento, assicurando al contempo l'aderenza e l'ammortizzazione necessaria.

Obituary of Victoria Susan Cherry
Vicki S Cherry passed away peacefully in her home on December 24, 2022 with her husband by her side.
Vicki was adopted by Francis and Geneva Nicolas of Griffith, Indiana. Her biological family located Vicki in 1999. After the initial shock, and several phone calls and getting to know one another, her sister Pat Combs and her son Randy came for a visit. The next visit came when Vicki and her husband took the trip to Kentucky. They stayed with Vicki's niece Kimberly. Kimberly was a volleyball coach at the time, while the sisters were sitting on the bleachers watching the game, they started comparing feet and how they all had the same abnormities. They got so distracting the score keepers of the game beside the stands began laughing at the girls they forgot to keep score.
Vicki was a very strong Christian lady. She said to her future husband, "you have to accept my Church, my son, and my dogs!" And he did just that for over 30 years, still a Rezite, and 8 dogs later.
She was most proud of her grandson, Gabriel. A grandson she never thought she'd have until Russ and Teresa adopted this wonderful boy. She sure loved water fights and Gabe never fail to give Vicki a run for her money.
Vicki worked primarily in the restaurant industry in about every facet, but also a personal banker at Home State Bank and lastly a cashier at Chick-Fil-a. It was at Village Inn where she met her devoted husband Lester "Les" Cherry.
She is preceded in death by her Daughter-in-law Teresa Klassen of Rhome, Texas, Brother Tracy Hardesty, of Lakeland, Florida. Her father Francis and mother Geneva of Monterey, Indiana, and her biological mother Gertrude Stenson of Eastpoint, Florida.
She is survived by her Husband Les Cherry, Russell Klassen (Stacy) and Family of Loveland, Colorado, sisters, Edra McDaniel and family of Monticello, Indiana. Hope (Tony) Johnson and family of Milford, Indiana, Sharon Barnett-Campbell (Max) and family of Lebanon, Tennessee, Chester (Deborah) Machan and family of Louisville, Kentucky, Pat (Randall) and family of Jackson, Kentucky, Debbie Rowland and family of Hampton, Virginia.

A friend of mine told me a story the other day about his in-laws' culinary habits that made me immediately think of marketing.
See, it appears that his family has a tradition of using the whole chicken when they cook. They don't just eat the breast and wings – they have plans for each and every piece of the bird. The feet, the innards, the neck — even the bones make the basis for soup stock.
Your content marketing should be the same way.
For example, a recent client hired me to write a knowledge base article on a topic of need and interest to their would-be customers. I then carved it up. I broke it down into several blog posts with a unique headline, buzz-worthy twist, and an engaging voice.
From there, I split out a dozen or so tweets – some that quote the original article while others just linked to the article with a brief explanation.
Then, posted a link to the article on the company's Facebook page accompanied by an interesting photo and a compelling question to jumpstart engagement.
And finally, I created a video script for YouTube that showed a visual demonstration of a specific point from the original article.
See what I did there? I used the whole damn chicken!
What do you gain from this method?
If you don't mind my pun — it's a simple recipe for success.
Consider today whether some of the content you already have can be repurposed for more marketing "meals." And, please let me know if it works.
You won't like this non-profit marketing tip – but you should!

Britain and the Ocean Road
Shipwrecks and People, 1297–1825
This is the first of two books aimed at introducing a general audience to the gripping (and at times horrifying) story of Britain, its people and the sea. The books will also interest historians and archaeologists, as they are based on original scholarship.

Britain and the Ocean Road uses new firsthand research and unconventional interpretations to take a fresh look at British maritime history in the age of sail.
The human stories of eight shipwrecks serve as waypoints on the voyage, as the book explores how and why Britain became a global sea power. Each chapter has people at its heart – sailors, seafaring families, passengers, merchants, pirates, explorers, and many others. The narrative encompasses an extraordinary range of people, ships and events, such as a bloody maritime civil war in the 13th century, a 17th-century American teenager who stepped from one ship to another - and into a life of piracy, a British warship that fought at Trafalgar (on the French side), and the floating hell of a Liverpool slave-ship, sunk in the year before the slave trade was abolished.
The book is full of surprising details and scenes, including England's rudest and crudest streetname, what it was like to be a passenger in a medieval ship (take a guess), how a fragment of the English theater reached the Far East during Shakespeare's lifetime, who forgave who after a deadly pirate duel, why there were fancy dress parties in the Arctic, and where you could get the best herring.
Britain and the Ocean Road is the first of two works aimed at introducing a general audience to the gripping (and at times horrifying) story of Britain, its people and the sea. The books will also interest historians and archaeologists, as they are based on original scholarship. The second book, Breaking Seas, Broken Ships will take the story from the age of steam to the 21st century.

Fake tanners for fair skin-will I turn orange?
I get many emails asking me if my self tanners are good for very fair skin. If you are reading this then chances are that you as well have turned that dreaded orange from a self tanner or spray tan salon. Many of these women describe themselves as being redheads with freckles, or very pale that have never been able to achieve a tan in the sun. They ask me if I think that self tanning is just not for them.
The tech having a heavy hand and applying too much product on your skin.
You had picked a self tanning product too strong for your skin tone ( Just because you want extra dark does not mean your skin can take it).
The product has a low quality form of dha.
You had a heavy hand and applied too much product to your skin causing it to over process.
So I turned to sunless tanning and before I became a spray tan professional I have experienced all the same things as you have. So I want to share my professional tips on how to get that beautiful sunless tan that you are craving for.
First off, self tanners are not magic they are a cosmetic. Just because you want super dark does not mean that your skin will cooperate. There are different levels for a reason and that is because there are different skin tones. The depth of color that you will pull will be dependent on your starting natural skin tone and if you are able to achieve a tan in the sun.
So even if a product shows a picture of a super dark Mediterranean looking goddess and labeled a "Extra Dark" shade, if you are a ginger and buy that type of product I can guarantee you that you will be orange. It is just wishful thinking and many times it is not the self tanners fault, but the consumer who fortunately did not pick the right shade for their skin or just applied too much. So always read product labels as to recommendations and usage instructions.
Why is this you ask? The simple answer is because DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the main ingredient in all sunless products. The darker the shade the higher level the DHA. And certain skin tones can only take so much dha before they start to turn orange. I know it is not fair but you cant change genetics. So even though you want to be dark, just because the label says so does not mean it is going to happen. So us pale pasty people need to start low and see what our threshold is.
With my self tanning products I recommend using them the same way that I would spray tan a client coming in my salon. I always recommend that very fair skin tones start off conservative. You can always add color but you cant take it away. So if you can not tan in the sun you have to be careful and start off and use a light shade or a light application.
If I have friends coming in together for a spray tan session and the pasty one says she wants to be the same color as her olive toned friend, I explain that it will not happen. I can spray each of them with the same color solution and each of them will pull a totally different color. So the same concept also applies with self tanners. Unlike painting a white piece of paper where the outcome of 10 pieces of paper will be identical , there is body chemistry involved with self tanners. The sunless tan is going to develop by interacting with your skin undertones.
Not everyone can get a dark tan and some people can only realistically handle a glow and anything higher will cause them to look unnatural, So I always say start light and gradually push the envelope.
If you choose the regular self tanning mousse ( Medium to dark shade) start off by applying only one coat. That will adjust it to a light shade. If after developing it looks natural on you then the next time you can apply 2 coats and test it.
If you use the rapid mousse, the leave on times are from 1 hour for a light tan to 4 hours for a dark. So again, just because you want dark does not mean your skin can handle dark. So for the first application I would only keep it on for 1 hour and then rinse off (just water no soap ) and that would be the equivalent of what I would tan you with if you came into my salon.
If once it developed the color looked fine the next time you could leave it on a little longer say an hour and a half. Then if good then the next time do 2 hours etc…The longer you leave the product on the darker it gets. So with fair skin you have to be careful and start conservative. I call it baby steps. (And remember that with the rapid mousse you won't see immediate color after rinsing. It still takes 8-10 hours to develop) So wait until the next day before you do another application.
Another option is the gradual tanner . It is not an instant option but this is a great a fail safe way to build your glow if you just want something very natural. Use the lotion 2x a day and the perfect glow will build over 4-5 days. Just stop applying when your desired level of color is achieved.

Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections 2017
Symbol war: Mulayam camp did not dispute numerical strength favouring Akhilesh Yadav
Rejecting the stand of the Mulayam Singh Yadav camp, the Election Commission said there is a clear split in the party.
By: PTI
New Delhi | January 20, 2017 19:13 IST
The Mulayam faction, on the other hand, maintained that there is no dispute in the party and its not been split into Samajwadi Party (Mulayam) or Samajwadi Party (Akhilesh).
The decision of Mulayam Singh Yadav not to dispute the numerical strength claimed by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav while staking claim over Samajwadi Party and its 'cycle' symbol enabled the Election Commission deliver the final verdict in the case after a single hearing. On January 16, the Commission gave the symbol 'Bicycle' to the faction headed by Akhilesh Yadav, recognising it as the Samajwadi Party that came as a major boost to the Chief Minister ahead of assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh.
During the nearly four-and-a-half hour long hearing on January 13 before the Commission, the Akhilesh camp claimed he has the majority support of MPs, MLAs, MLCs and delegates, therefore, the symbol should be given to him.
It, however, did not dispute the affidavits tendered by Akhilesh to buttress his claim.
Asked how the Commission verified the affidavits filed by Akhilesh, a source privy to the proceedings said the onus of disputing lies with the opposite side and not the poll panel.
"Why should the Commission dispute it on behalf of the opposite party…why should the Commission disbelieve the affidavit. Even in a regular court, disputing authenticity is the job of the opposite side," the source said.
The Commission performs the role of a quasi-judicial body while deciding on such disputes.
The Commission also went by past precedents when it had based its judgements on numerical strength as directed by the Supreme Court in a 1972 verdict.
"…A mere look at the figures…will evidently demonstrate that Akhilesh Yadav enjoys overwhelming majority support, both among the legislative and organisational wing of the party.
"As a logical consequence of the above finding and applying the test of majority support approved by the Supreme Court in the case of Sadiq Ali and consistently applied by the Commission thereafter in all cases of disputes in recognised political parties arising before it from time to time…the group led by Akhilesh Yadav is the Samajwadi Party and is entitled to use its name and its reserved symbol Bicycle…," the 42-page order of the EC said.
"…The Commission is satisfied that a split has arisen in the Samajwadi Party resulting in the formation of two rival groups — one, led by Akhilesh Yadav and the, other, led by Mulayam Singh Yadav, each claiming to be that party, and, therefore, the matter needed to be determined by the Commission under para 15 of the Symbols Order," the poll panel said.
It said 205 of the 228 MLAs, 56 of the 68 MLCs, 15 of the 24 MPs and 28 of the 46 National Executive members have sided with Akhilesh.
Also, 4400 of the 5731 National Convention delegates have signed in favour of the Chief Minister, the order said.

O tenente-coronel Ronald "Ron" Francis Reid-Daly (22 de setembro de 1928 - 9 de agosto de 2010) fundou e comandou a unidade de operações especiais Selous Scouts que lutou durante a Guerra Civil da Rodésia.

Carreira
Reid-Daly, que nasceu em Salisbury, então capital da colônia britânica da Rodésia do Sul, entrou no serviço militar em 1951 e serviu com o Esquadrão "C" sul-rodésiano do Special Air Service (SAS) em operações de contra-insurgência na Malásia. Ele subiu ao posto de suboficial no Rhodesian Light Infantary  e alcançou o posto de capitão. Ele se retirou do exército em 1971.

No final de 1971, ele foi persuadido pelo general Peter Walls, então chefe do Exército Rodésiano, a retornar ao serviço ativo para formar os Selous Scouts, uma unidade de elite de forças especiais para combater a crescente ameaça que representavam as guerrilhas nacionalistas. Com base em sua experiência malaia, o tenente-coronel Reid-Daly construiu um regimento qualificado e altamente profissional a partir do zero. Embora os Selous Scouts tenham alcançado muitos dos seus objetivos militares, seus métodos pouco ortodoxos criaram tensões dentro da hierarquia militar. Reid-Daly teve várias complicações com as autoridades da Rodésia.

Em 1979 surgiram rumores em Salisbury que os operadores do Selous estavam a caçando marfim ao longo do vale do Zambeze. Esses rumores nunca foram provados, e o coronel, como um conservador, descartou as .No processo de se defender contra eles, Reid-Daly atacou verbalmente o major-general John Hickman . Por isso, ele foi acusado de insubordinação e condenado a prisão. Ele renunciou como o comandante dos Selaous em agosto, mas continuou a lutar contra uma batalha legal contra o julgamento, proclamando sua inocência, mesmo depois de a Rodésia se transformar no Zimbabwe - e só parou quando ele foi forçado a fugir para a África do Sul em 1982. Na África do Sul, Reid-Daly tornou-se comandante da Força de Defesa do Transkei, e posteriormente foi o chefe da empresa de segurança privada Security Services Transkei Pty Ltd. Em seus últimos anos residiu perto da Cidade do Cabo.

Have you found an online vendor selling Santiago de Cuba Anejo?
As common as anything in Cuba. Very cheap and popular. The brand the locals drink, and you can see why. Not one to have straight, but any other way it's a winner. Fill up your suitcase on the way home with this!
Far beyond expectations for that price, flavourful classic Cuban.
Spændende bekendtskab, men med kendskab til deres 11 års, så er det svært ikke at forlange mere. Kæmpe ros til Fidel Castro og kravene til rom fra Cuba, men 11 og 25 års er oplevelser i særklasse og derfor en smule skuffet her. En smule billig/sprittet/parfumeret i smag, men stadig et fint glas og især med prise in mente.
Pour tout ceux qui visite Cuba, il n'y a qu'un seul rhum a rapporter. Pas très dispendieux et c'est le plus savoureux.
Es ideal para mezclarlo con Coca-Cola, la relación precio sabor es muy buena. Lástima que sólo lo que conseguido en Cuba.
excellent rum, not overpowering. Great for rum and coke!
In Cuba,the same exact rum,made by the same company,is distributed under different brand names and slightly different price points.Not a bad rum and has a slightly sweet woody taste,typical of the Cuban rums.Buy this one and save a buck or 2 over the Havana Club especial - it's the same product!
Raz na jednej oslave. Veľmi dobrá chuť aj vôňa. Príjemné popíjanie.
A nice rum, but nothing special. The rum has a full taste.
Zeker niet de beste rum. Sterker, eigenlijk heel gewoontjes en in Cuba overal te vinden en door de locals gedronken. Maar juist door die geweldige vakantie een hele warme associatie bij deze rum.
Bouteille rapportée de Cuba, parfum vanillé et doux en bouche.
Very strong and powerful rum, average, lacking class.
sure it is not a high end Rum but for 12 Dollars you can not expect that. If you compare it with Rums in the same Price class, you will realise that it is ways better. This one and the Ritual of Havana Club I have everytime at home for guests (not rum experts) and everyone liked it. Smooth like typical for Santiago Rum.
Not expensive and really good. This is the real stuff ... Can very much recommend it.
Tradiční kubánský rum smíchaný ze směsi stařených rumů s relativně jemnou chutí.
Middle dark rum. Very cheap. Tasty an sweet. Good for mix and for enjoy on the rocks.

I have a lot of throw pillows in my house especially in Bedrooms. With this in mind I thought I would do this tutorial on how to make an envelope pillow cover for any size square pillow. I like this pattern because you can make pillow covers for every holiday and to match any decor. These pillow covers are super simple to make and can be done in no time at all using basic sewing skills. Trust me when I tell you that anyone can spruce up their decor using these pillow covers.
As usual I raided my stash to show this project but if you need fabrics to match your decor or for any holiday season head over to Hobby Lobby or Fabric.com to get exactly what you need. This post contains affiliate links that if you click on them and make a purchase I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Fabric – The amount of fabric needed depends on the pillow size. I used 3/4 yard.
Pillow form – You can choose any size you like but I used a 16″ x 16″ pillow that I had on hand.
Cut your fabric. You will need to cut three pieces of fabric. The first piece will be the size of your pillow form and will be the front of your pillow. In my case 16″ x 16″. You will then cut two pieces for the back of the pillow. The best way to do this is to cut one piece the length of the pillow form + 6″ x the width of the pillow form. For my pillow I cut a single piece that measured 22″ x 16″. Cut the second piece in half. That left me with two pieces that measured 11″ x 16″. Your measurement will be different depending on the size of your pillow form.
Hem one of the 16″ sides of both of the back pieces by folding the raw edge under 1/2″ then again by 1/4″. Sew the hem either by hand or machine.
Pin the front and back pieces right sides together with the hemmed edges toward the center and over lapping. Sew all the way around the perimeter using a 1/2″ seam allowance.
Turn the cover right side out and poke out the corners. Insert the pillow form and you have finished your envelope pillow cover for any size square pillow.


The following outline highlights some of the program's key learning points. As part of the training program, we will modify the content as needed to meet your business objectives.
Not every patient can be cured but every patient can have a smooth experience when they move through the healthcare system. Healthcare organizations cannot afford to make mistakes and aggravate patients. Disgruntled patients can take to social media and destroy a healthcare organizations reputation or they can sue the healthcare organization.
Physicians are role models. They can create a motivating work environment and behave in ways that make others want to be part of their team OR they can create a hostile work environment and leave others with a bad impression. During this section, we will discuss the physician as leader and use the DiSC assessment to give the physician insight about their own leadership style.
During this section, we will review people practices and making the right hiring decisions. Hiring for competency plus attitude is critical to creating an exceptional patient experience. We will also review employee engagement. When healthcare workers are double and triple booked, they burn out.
During this section, we will develop some process maps and examine any broken process in the organization. We might also review LEAN methodology in healthcare.
During this section, we will review the current work environment and find opportunities to make improvements.
During this section, we will develop a final action plan for patient improvement.
By the conclusion of this program, healthcare leaders will walk away with an actionable plan for improving the patient experience at their healthcare organization.

Brother Will
Carla Kay, said I should contact you as I am having to get rid of Century Link. The past coule months my phone only has a dial tone for an hour or so, there last outage (they deny) was the hopsital trying to let me know my Mom had minutes/hours left. NEVER got the call, so I showed up 5 minutes (forever) too late. Finally was telling them to cut phone off AGAIN, but I'll have to get a good cell to replace landline. Even THAT call just dropped out in the middle. I am far to volatile emotionally to deal with their bullshit. Carla said you could help. My cell only works for texts. Sorry for the bother...Vinny

Tobacco Mosaic Virus
Vinny replied to jblaze's topic in Plant Hospital
Thank you, yer one of the few...After emailing the guy at the site that sells this Rna Pro, I asked for an MSDS sheet, and got an email back to "call" him during business hours" rather than any material data. Getting too skeptical I guess. Will get back if I call him...still busy trying to do something for Carla.
Couldn't find an MSDS sheet available at any of the shops that sell it, so contacted the company to request one. For now, that's all I know except for an 8 oz bottle is $299.99! Remember..."Let the Buyer Beware," I think would be appropriate. Also here is a press release from PRLog about Rna Pro PRLog (Press Release) - Aug. 23, 2012 - Tobamoviruses have run rampant since their discovery in the early 1900's and have created a serious problem for farmers trying to maximize their yields. These viruses also affect the finished quality of the fruits and vegetables. RNA Pro has discovered a prohormone that aids the plant in its natural defense against viruses. RNA Pro is a prohormone that works due to its metabolite, which is responsible for the increase in production of protein coatings that protect genetic material from malevolent viruses. Using this product stops the proliferation of the viruses, making new growth healthy while also substantially increasing vigor. The viruses affected by RNA Pro's remarkable new formula are listed at http://www.hempmosaicvirus.com/effectiveness/, and infect a wide range of crops from tomatoes to potatoes. Now farmers with poor yields due to a tobamovirus infection have an ally to protect themselves from crop failure and restore yields to previous levels. RNA Pro should be used bi-weekly as a preventative in highly susceptible crops, but it may also be applied heavily at the time the infection begins showing symptoms. The symptoms should then dissipate within 3 days when 1 dosage is applied every 24 hours. RNA Pro stands behind their product too, offering a 100% satisfaction guaranteed. If you'd like more information about this topic, or to schedule an interview with Jeff Brown, please call him at 424-248-5442 or send an email to jeff@hempmosaicvirus.com.
First I searched a number of "reviews" and "complaints" about this product through various reporting agencies, and found the grow shops all give it 4-5 stars, found no complaints filed, and this is what I found with reference to Rna Pro: The Hemp Mosaic Virus (HMV) is an intracellular parasite that infects plants by attaching itself to its RNA. The Hemp Mosaic Virus is part of the genus Tobamovirus, the most common of which is Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV). These viral RNA polymerases lack the proof-reading ability of DNA which makes vaccines extremely difficult to develop. Mutations occur rapidly and this virus can reduce crop yields by 25% or more. In some cases entire crops can be lost. RNA Pro is a product that has been shown to effectively treat infected plants and allow gardeners to capture their crop's full potential. While it is true there is no vaccine to cure the Hemp Mosaic Virus, there is a particularly effective treatment. RNA Pro works by increasing the plant's production of the protein coating that is meant to protect it from such viruses. By using RNA Pro the virus can not bind the plant's RNA and thus the symptoms don't proliferate. They may never manifest if used early enough as a preventative treatment. RNA Pro should be used every week until symptoms subside, but may only be necessary to apply every other week for maintenance once the infection is under control. At RNA Pro we recommend that after harvesting, steps be taken to avoid re-contamination in the next growing cycle. These steps include sterilizing the entire room, equipment, and supplies with Physan 20. Outdoor farmers will have a more difficult time eradicating the infection but there has been success through incineration of all plant material. RNA Pro was specifically developed in response to plants that were infected during an outbreak of the Hemp Mosaic Virus in 2010. The product was finally launched in the summer of 2012. It has been the culmination of both, intensive scientific research and laboratory analysis. We have determined through thousands of hours of study RNA Pro's effectiveness in combating the symptoms the Hemp Mosaic Virus. The product works by increasing a plant's production of a natural hormone which is responsible for the manufacture of a specific protein coating. This protective coating is what prevents the Hemp Mosaic Virus and other viruses from attaching to the plant's genetic material. As a result, RNA Pro successfully prevents mutations in a wide range of crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers. Finally there is a product that can help in the treatment of the Hemp Mosaic Virus. No more low yields and poor quality! RNA Pro stands behind the effectiveness of its product 100%. All product is guaranteed to treat these viruses if used as directed. If you are not completely satisfied with the results please contact us here and we will gladly return your order. We want to make sure all our customers, are happy customers!
Very cool, Brad...every weapon we have is a boon to us all. Thank you for the "not having to have an electron microscope" issue to a do-able concept. Like you say, its not empirical evidence, but it sure would give us a much clearer idea without the expense. I found some information on a cannabis-specific mosaic virus, with all the same characteristics as TMV and TTMV (Tobacco-Tomato Mosaic Virus which is the most probable in a "tobacco smoking" environment. The virus specific to all strains of cannabis is called the Sunn-Hemp Mosaic Virus. Anyway, here is the preliminary look: Sunn-hemp mosaic virus (SHMV) is a pathogenic plant virus. It is known by many names, including bean strain of tobacco mosaic virus and Sunn-hemp rosette virus. SHMV is an intracellular parasite that infects plants. It can be seen only through an electron microscope.or through recently developed test kits. It is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus that causes physical characteristics of spotting and/or discoloration. Transmission: Infected crops transmit the virus in a number of ways, but in most cases transmittal requires physical contact. This mean that touching an infected plant, then touching a healthy plant could cause the healthy plant to contract the virus. Using tools to trim an infected plant, then using them on a healthy plant without sterilizing them between uses can result in the transmission of the virus. The virus should be treated like it is airborne since an insect can transmit the virus, from plant to plant, just by flying around and making contact between plants. Hemp mosaic virus is particularly resilient and can infect the soil through the winter and into the following growing seasons for years. Effects The hemp mosaic virus infects plants of the Cannabis genus. The virus causes cellular mutations, stunted growth, damages plants photosynthesis ability, and more. Cellular mutations usually manifest as discoloration and misshapen leaves. Discoloration usually manifests as yellow or grey mottling that can form a spotted, mosaic, or streak pattern. Misshapen leaves can be the result of damage to the plants at a cellular level, making them appear contorted and/or twisted. The stunted growth can cause a tremendous amount of crop loss due to lower than normal yields. Loses of 25% of flower production or more have been widely observed and reported. Treatment: There is no known cure for the hemp mosaic virus or other tobamoviruses. Once a plant has become infected with the virus the host will never be free from infection. The virus is most often cured through incineration of the infected tissues. Plants do have a natural defense in the form of a protein coating that protects the plants RNA. Different strains have varying resiliencies to hemp mosaic virus due to varying levels of the hormone responsible for the production of the protective protein coatings. RNA Pro is a prohormone product that helps stimulate the plants manufacture of that protective protein coating, making the virus' ability to attach to the plant's RNA more difficult. It is the only known treatment for hemp mosaic virus and all other tobamovirus strains. Environment: Hemp mosaic virus is known as one of the most stable viruses. It has a very wide survival range. As long as the surrounding temperature remains below approximately 40 degrees Celsius, hemp mosaic virus can sustain its stable form. All it needs is a host to infect. Greenhouses and botanical gardens would provide the most favorable condition for the virus to spread, due to the high population density of possible hosts and the constant temperature throughout the year. They also mention an RNA protein enhancement product, which is supposed to help the plant produce more of the chitinous proteins that surround and protect the host RNA cells. I will look further into this. Its called RNAPro, is not intended as a cure, but is supposed to retard the destruction process.

I do apologize for not being online to see this. There are a few kind of "misconceptions" regarding TMV, That are rather important. First is the tobacco issue. While it is 100% true touching our gurls after handling any tobacco product. It is imperative to understand the virus is also carried in the exhaled smoke and resultant "resin" that makes the walls discolored, as it takes exposure to temps far and above a lighter flame or ash. Even on clean clothes in the closet that have been in a room with tobacco smoke, you can transmit the virus. Second, because the mosaic virus has SO many "mutations" that mimic a host of other pests, nute, soil and water problems, the ONLY and I repeat ONLY way to rule out any of the mosaic virii is to have a sample tested. Photographs simply can't do it!!! If you have access to an electron microscope (we all have those...) you can get visual confirmation (over 160,000 viral rods which can survive up to 60 years can fit on a piece of the plant not even visible to the naked eye) but the easiest way is to use "test strips." They can be purchased in lots of 5 =$32.50 or 25 = $105.00 Test Format: ImmunoStrip Capture Reagent: Polyclonal Detection Reagent: Polyclonal Intended Use:The Tobacco mosaic virus Immunostrip is used to detect the presence of TMV in many different crops, such as vegetable, fruit, and ornamentals. TMV Immunostrips are perfect for use in the field, greenhouse and the lab. Tobacco mosaic virus is an extremly stable virus and can easily infect adjacent plants and contaminate surfaces such as benches, pots, tools, etc. The TMV ImmunoStrip detects a variety of viruses from the tobamovirus group. Our experience shows that the test can detect the following: Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV), Kyuri green mottle mosaic virus, Odontoglossum rinspot virus (ORSV), Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV), Ribgrass mosaic virus (RMV), Streptocarpus flower break virus (SFBV), Sunhemp mosaic virus (SHMV), Tobacco mosaic virus including common strain (TMV and TMV-c), Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV). This test, however, is not a tobamovirus group test and was tested for its effectiveness at detecting TMV. http://www.agdia.com/testing-services/index.cfm (for information on all they do and how) but that will tell for certain. Third is the reduction in yield. The aggressiveness in which the MV displays is to a great extent genotype/phenotype/strain dependent. Sativa or Sativa dominant strains are the most susceptible, and the rate of plant destruction is much higher. Though true Indica and Indie-Dom strains tolerate the virus a bit better, no strain is immune. When the plants are still in veg, they will grow faster than the virus can replicate, making it "appear" like whatever problem(s) you "had" are gone. If yer lucky and it isn't any of the forms of Mosaic Virus, you will know (assuming you didn't test them) about 4-5 weeks into flowering. This is because the plant has stopped it's explosive growth, and the viral replication out paces the veg growth. The classic pattern of destruction is as the plant becomes more phytotoxic, first the fan leaves, then the bud leaf and lastly the sugar trim, mottle, yellow, bleach out and die from the bottom first then climbing the plant faster and faster. As for the reduction? I had a Lemon Kush in a 15 gal smart pot that grew beautifully to just under 7 feet tall. Trying to amber her out i brought her indoors. At the end there were no fan or bud leaves, the sugar trim was about as wide as embroidery thread with nearly no trichomes. I got 58 grams of bud (a hair over two ounces) from an out door gurl that should have produced 6-10 ounces. I'm afraid I have to beg to differ on the "don't worry it's only a 10-20% reduction in yield," with all due respect. Again, I do apologize for not seeing this. If I can be of any other help, PM me and I'll send some links. BUT...beware! There are beginning to be opportunistic parasites slapping a label on water and claiming a vaccine for seedlings and cuts. They are fakes! There is NO cure. if one comes up it will be world headlines, I am certain. I also wish you all the best in it NOT being TMV!

Washington Set to Ban "Home" MMJ Grows
Vinny replied to Vinny's topic in Cannabis News and Legislation
The new Chapter is RCW Chapter 61.59a for viewing online. Of particular importance are sections 69.51A.030, 40, 43, 85, 90 & 120 The entire new chapter can be found here: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=69.51A or simply search "RCW Medical Marijuana" and then follow links. Peace!
I just checked again re the WA Medical situation. As of this point they have "finalized" the new laws, into a new chapter, I have been reading and it appears they are "separating" the recreational and legal. I will read the new chapter to see what all they've done or not, and post relevant info and links. From first glance it appears that sense and constitutionality may have carried the day...fingers crossed. I know that the taxation was a highly illegal maneuver for medical, cause WA law doesn't allow for medicine to be taxed, and mmj is by definition and legislative intent...medicine, The recreational is heavily taxed though. Will post as learn more.
Homegrown in WA,,? Well will see
Vinny replied to EDDIEKIRK's topic in Cannabis News and Legislation
Right now, they've put a moratorium on the private grow situation, where we have an edge with the revenue issue is that in WA "medicines" are exempt from taxes, and under the mmj law cannabis IS medicine. The exorbitant taxation on the supposed "recreational cannabis" are legally inappropriate for medicinal cannabis, placing the medicine out of financial reach of the disabled patients. Further there are legal proceedings are under way for discrimination litigation, with a number of legal doctrines still awaiting decision.
Help Compiling A List Of High CBD Strains

I read the ProjectCBD site too, and was going to post it here, but its already listed. I am looking for such strains as well. Specialist looked at their files and found I've been losing average 12 pounds a month both muscle and fat just in past 3 months. Specialist got angry with primary doc, due to length of time and total weight loss. (almost 100 pounds in last 14 months. He thinks all signs (together) point to cachexia, now ordering testing for various forms of interferon-linked cancer, hepatic, liver, pancreatic and/or stomach.

Be Careful What You Wish For A federal government employee sat in his office, and just out of boredom, decided to see what was inside his old filing cabinet. He poked through the contents and came across an old brass lamp. "Hey, this will look just perfect on my mantel," he thought, and took it home with him. When he got home he decided to clean it up and grabbed a cloth and polishing compound and got busy. While polishing the lamp, a genie appeared and, though shocked, he asked for and was granted three wishes. "I would like an ice-cold Coke right now." He gets his Coke and drinks it in one thirsty gulp. Now that he can think more clearly, he states his second wish. "I wish to be on an island with beautiful faithful woman, who finds me completely irresistible." Suddenly, he's on an island with an absolutely gorgeous woman demurely staring at him lovingly. He tells the genie his third and last wish. "I wish I'd never have to work again." Instantly, he was back in his government office.
Thats the point. There won't be medical dispensaries anymore. And medical patients won't be able to grow their own. Greed is one aspect...you're right on that score, but the real goal is to get rid of the most effective medicine. In a "radio town hall" meeting this same expert said the high percentage THC/CBD hybrid strains are "too stong" and since the Liquor Control Board will provide the seed and control the entire process from start and bringing those percentages to between 3-6%. And what low-income, home bound or too ill to drive to Seattle, Tacoma or Spokane to pay $35-45 a gram? It's far more involved than that. And they WILL try the same in Oregon. EK is absolutely right! "From Triumph to Tragedy"...legalization indeed.

Q: How To Use Laravel Factory For Objects ( Not Models ) I have a Class Like This :

class Ip
{

    public $ip;

    /**
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getIp()
    {
        return $this->ip;
    }

    /**
     * @param mixed $ip
     */
    public function setIp($ip)
    {
        $this->ip = $ip;
    }

}

and I Write a Factory For This :

/** @var \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factory $factory */
$factory->define(\Modules\FraudDetection\ObjectModels\Ip::class, function (Faker\Generator $faker) {

    return [
        'ip' => $faker->numerify('###.###.##.###')
    ];
});

But When i Want to Use That Factory , the result is null :

{"ip":null}

I know If I Extend Model It Will Work . Is There Any Other Solution To use Factory without extending model ?

A: After Searching a while, I Found This Solution
for Using Laravel Factory for Normal Objects ( Like My Ip Class Which is not extends Model )
you should copy Below codes to your Object ( in my example Ip class )

    /**
     * Ip constructor.
     * @param array $attributes
     */
    public function __construct($attributes = [])
    {
        foreach ($attributes as $key => $value) {
            $this->$key = $value;
        }
    }

        /**
     * Create a new Eloquent Collection instance.
     *
     * @param  array  $models
     * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection
     */
    public function newCollection(array $models = [])
    {
        return new Collection($models);
    }

now you can use Laravel Factory Like always ( which is exist in laravel document )
