River Kosi: If this isn't Hell, What is?
by Manisha Prakash
It was not a homecoming any mother would like her children to witness. In fact, it was not a homecoming befitting the living.
Neelam Devi, one of the thousands of survivors displaced by the flooding of the River Kosi in September has returned home. She had seen the worst, having gone hungry for days until she and her family found refuge in a relief camp. Or so she had thought. But the return home proved to be a shock.
A tiny empty house, in village Panchgachiya, district Madhepura, with its damp and crumbling walls, beckoned its owners. When Neelam Devi, her three sons and two daughters stepped into the courtyard, the sight that greeted them was a painful reminder of the calamity that had forced them to leave it in the first place. There were swarms of buzzing mosquitoes over puddles of filthy water, soggy school books strewn across the floors, and algae all over the walls. But it was the foul and unbearable stench from the decaying carcass of a cow that left the exhausted family even more traumatized.
All this was a few weeks ago. The floors and walls have since been cleaned, but the ubiquitous stink still pervades the house, settling in the pit of the stomachs of those forced to live within its walls. Today, the family spends most of its time up on the small roof of their single-floor tenement, hoping that the feeble winter sun will dry out the books, the clumps that were once mattresses and the now-moldy 'khaat' (low poster bed with coir weave in place of a plank). It was the same roof on which they had climbed when the waters of the swelling river had inched higher and higher.
Neelam Devi's roof had, in fact, provided a base for many families, as they huddled together marooned in their village, peering at the surging waters down below. Their only link with dry land was the radio that blared the words of Bihar Chief Minister (CM), Nitish Kumar. "Jaan Hai to Jahan Hai," he had said, urging people to flee their homes and belongings and to evacuate the flooded areas. Neelam Devi and the rest had then climbed down into the rescue boat that had sailed into her courtyard.
The CM's public address over the radio may have saved many lives, but the poor villagers now wonder when - and whether at all - he will address the issue of recovery in these flood-ravaged areas, now that the receding waters have left behind a nightmare of disease and poverty. For thousands of villagers in remote corners, the horror threatens to persist.
As for Neelam Devi, with hardly any money, resources or even the prospects of a livelihood, she is trying desperately to piece together her life. To add to her woes is a daughter who is reluctant to answer nature's call even at the cost of her health. Pinki Kumari, a Class Eight student, declines to go into the open fields, any more. The slush and animal carcasses that the Kosi has left behind makes her demand a toilet within her home.
Basic sanitation for the survivors, a human right, now seems mere words carried in one of the soggy textbooks drying on the roof. "The floods have broken us. We can't think of spending on keeping our homes clean. We have to manage with whatever little we have. My husband earns barely enough for food," Neelam sighs, as she looks at her daughter.
Some children in Panchgachiya village of Murliganj block try to wring dry their yellow-brown jute school bags in the innocent presumption that school may soon reopen. But the signs of normalcy - a bustling local bazaar, cheerful children charging out of school, newly washed clothes fluttering on a washing line - continue to elude these villages.
Even the simple pleasure of washing with soap is an unimaginable luxury, when there isn't enough for lifesaving medicines or even a daily meal. The unhygienic mud easily available in the backyard is the only cleanser for the body, the kitchen utensils, and clothes. "How can we talk of soap? We don't even get clean water... the water is unsafe even for drinking," says an extremely impoverished Shalo Devi.
Living off the meager earnings that her migrant labor sons sent back from Delhi and Punjab, Shalo Devi took care of her mentally-challenged husband, Kishor Shah. When the Kosi flooded, Shalo sold her cow at a throwaway price and dragged her husband to safety. Having returned to their now-stinking home, Shalo now suffers from profuse and erratic uterine bleeding. How does she manage in unhygienic conditions and without clean water? She replies, "I somehow manage with torn saris, whenever I bleed."
There is misery all around but the absence of sanitation and clean water adds to the physical woes of women, who have to walk miles to fetch water or to answer nature's call in some privacy, sidestepping the carcasses, snakes and flies in the process. But if nature's fury and administrative apathy were not enough, caste squabbles over relief material make things almost impossible.
The 2,500-strong Panchgachiya village houses various communities - Dalits, Thakurs, Muslims and OBCs. Today each community fights the other over the sharing of the relief material being distributed by the government. And, as is usually the case, those that are better connected politically get to keep the lion's share of such relief.

An older home can be a real energy drain. How-to-cut-heating-and-cooling-costs and do-it-yourself energy audit articles are popping up everywhere. Homeowners, new and old, need to be proactive about their home energy efficiency.
Do you know your home's HERS rating? The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index is the industry standard measuring a home's energy efficiency. It's also the nationally recognized system for inspecting and calculating a home's energy performance and can tell you a great deal about a home you are thinking of buying.
For older homes, top home energy drain issues include drafty windows and doors, inefficient appliances, and older heating and cooling systems. These areas can drastically affect a home's energy costs and efficiency.
Older appliances and lightening can also be a large energy drain for homeowners. Homes and residential buildings account for approximately 21 percent of total US energy use; electricity used to power home air conditioners, lighting, refrigerators, and other appliances uses half of that, and water and space heating consume the rest.
Installing Energy Star–certified appliances, ceiling fans, and lighting, which can be up to 50 percent more efficient, will help boost your savings. Riptide builders prides itself with installing only the highest Energy-Star certified appliances and fixtures to ensure a highly energy efficient home every time.
…and will help you to create energy and financial savings the entire year.

City National Bank Awards 80 Literacy...
City National Bank Awards 80 Literacy Grants to Educators in Five States Totaling Over $86,000
LOS ANGELES -- City National Bank today announced that it has awarded 80 Reading is The way up® literacy grants totaling more than $86,000 to support literacy-based projects at elementary, middle and high schools in California, Nevada, New York, Tennessee and Georgia. This year's literacy grants comes on the heels of City National's 60th Anniversary celebration.
(For a list of all grant recipients, go to www.readingisthewayup.org/literacy.php.)
Reading is The way up is the award-winning literacy initiative through which City National has donated more than 250,000 books to elementary school libraries in California, Nevada, New York, Nashville, Nashville, Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgia, and awarded over 825 teacher grants to enhance literacy totaling more than $700,000 since the program's inception in 2002.
The grants ranging from $500 to $1,500 will help augment or expand literacy projects that were judged to be creative and engaging, and that would have a tangible effect on student achievement. The winning programs are expected to directly improve literacy to more than 10,000 students in 75 schools throughout California, Nevada, New York, Tennessee and Georgia.
The educators receiving literacy grants were selected from among the many full-time teachers, librarians, administrators and school media specialists who submitted an online application. The one-page application was available to educators in every school district throughout the bank's footprint in California, Nevada, New York, Tennessee and Georgia.
"There are some extraordinary literacy programs being taught at schools throughout our footprint, which is a real credit to the educators we have teaching students today," said Carolyn Rodriguez, vice president and manager of Reading is The way up for City National. "The only things lacking are the resources and funding needed to continue to improve the learning experience in the classroom. Education continues to be an integral part of City National's Community outreach programs."
Some of the City National literacy grants funded: 'Increasing Science Literacy and Relevancy' at a high school in California; 'Fluency Models for Struggling Reading' at an elementary school in Nevada; 'Science Literacy – Building a Classroom Library' at a middle school in a New York City; 'Literacy Through Native Language Materials' at a high school in Tennessee; and a 'Common Core e-Books' in an elementary school in Georgia.

Well tonight councillors at Wallasey Town Hall meet to decide among other things Wirral Council's Budget for 2012-2013.
So far we have had the surprise Labour Budget at its last Cabinet meeting on the 13th February, which was then rescinded by the new Conservative/Lib Dem Cabinet on the 21st February.
Labour councillors then "called-in" the decision by the Conservative/Lib Dem Cabinet of the 21st February to rescind their earlier Labour Budget recommendation to Council and the Budget procedure chosen by the Conservative/Lib Dem Cabinet. This call-in was decided at the Council Excellence meeting on Tuesday 28th February. This call-in failed mainly because Bill Norman said that Cabinet recommendations to Council from Cabinet weren't subject to call-in as in his view it wasn't an Executive decision, just a recommendation so Labour have tabled an amendment to the Budget procedure tonight.
However in more local news the Licensing Act 2003 subcommittee of Cllr Steve Niblock, Cllr Mike Hornby and Cllr Don McCubbin decided yesterday to turn down an application for an off-licence at 46 Hoylake Road. The reasons given were the objections of Merseyside Police (both Sgt Jenkins and Inspector McGregor were against it as they thought it would lead to increased crime and disorder).
The committee also had serious concerns about the integrity of the person who'd made the application for the licence and his alleged association with criminal activities. Trading Standards also spoke during the meeting about how they had seized counterfeit goods from the person applying for a premises licence.
The Subcommittee also felt the person applying displayed no understanding of the licensing objectives, despite previous involvement with other licensed premises, one of which had had its licence revoked due to violent crime. The issue of under age sales was also given as a reason by the subcommittee.
If you'd like to come to the Budget meeting tonight (1st March) it starts at 6.15pm in the Council Chamber at Wallasey Town Hall, Brighton Street, Wallasey, Wirral, CH44 8ED .


Is capitalism (or greed) part of human nature?
A common criticism of socialist politics holds that greed, or even capitalism, is necessary to human nature. However, most of human history was not capitalist. This social system has existed for approximately 300 years out of 200,000 years of human existence: in other words, capitalism makes up 0.15% of our time on earth. More complicated is the claim that greed, clearly older than capitalism, is fundamental to our nature.
Cooperation and care are even necessary to capitalism. A private corporation requires huge amounts of cooperation: between workers in different departments, customers and workers, bosses and workers. If everyone acted on their own individual impulses, companies would likely not function. Capitalism is a cooperative social system. Although the profits are privatised, the labour process is socialised. Without this cooperative labour, the luxuries enjoyed by the rich would be impossible.
For a long time after birth [human beings] are unable to fend for themselves, and are thus in need of a prolonged period of nurturing… Even if the care they receive is appalling, infants very quickly imbibe some notion of what caring for others means. This is one reason why, later on, they may be able to identify a whole way of life as callously indifferent to human needs. In this sense, we can move from being prematurely born to politics.
Care must be built into any society. In this sense capitalism undermines human existence – unemployed single mothers are punished, rather than helped, despite doing necessary work. Although capitalism does not always reward care work, care work remains necessary for capitalism, as it would for any society. People perform care without reward, showing that 'human nature' involves compulsions other than greed.
Take, for example, the idea of a self-governing cooperative, which Marx seems to have regarded as the key productive unit of the socialist future. One person's contribution to such an outfit allows for some kind of self-realisation; but it also contributes to the wellbeing of the others, and this simply by virtue of the way the place is set up. I do not have to have tender thoughts about my fellow workers, or whip myself into an altruistic frenzy every two hours. My own self-realisation helps to enhance theirs simply because of the cooperative, profit-sharing, egalitarian, commonly governed nature of the unit. It is a structural affair, not a question of personal virtue.
Put simply, different societies reward different kinds of behaviour. A society that rewarded egalitarian cooperation would make avarice less attractive.
This would not be totally unprecedented. Anthropologists have highlighted 'gift economies', based on giving rather than financial exchange. In the lands that would later be named New Zealand and Australia, where indigenous societies lived off the land collectively, capitalism had to be imposed through colonisation (see 'How was capitalism established in Aotearoa and Australia?' in this issue). If capitalism is a part of human nature, why did so many people engage in bloody wars to defend their way of life?
The notion of 'human nature' itself is debatable, hence the quotation marks. Humans are very adaptable. There are compulsions we all experience, like the need for food – but this does not mean human behaviour is permanently fixed in one form.
Now, with the complex cooperation that has overcome the scarcity of earlier societies, we could achieve an egalitarian society with greater comfort than ever before. Likely people would still harbour the occasional negative thought, but the point is to liberate ourselves, not to redeem all our sins. The primary barrier is not human nature, but that minority which benefits most from colonial capitalism, and resists any attempt at redistribution.

The Tennessee Titans Record Could Benefit From Facing Rookie QBs
August 13, 2021 at 9:20 am by Nick Mazone
The Tennessee Titans could have four games against rookie quarterbacks in the 2021 season.
Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson and Trey Lance's teams are all on the schedule.
The Titans' win total is set at 9.5 with the Over having a -135 betting line.
NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Titans are one of the top contenders in the AFC and a team that could benefit from the possibility of having four or more games against rookie quarterbacks. NFL bettors could use this to justify backing the Over in Tennessee's futures odds.
The Potential Rookie QBs On The Schedule
Each time a rookie quarterback is selected, especially in the first round, they're thought to be the future of the franchise. However, the keyword there is future. It usually takes some time for the young QBs to get the hang of things.
Trevor Lawrence – Jaguars – No. 1 Overall Pick
As a part of the same division, the Tennessee Titans should see Trevor Lawrence on two separate occasions this season. Online gambling sites don't have individual odds available for the games, but the Titans are -140 to sweep the Jags, while a tied series comes with +125 odds.
The Titans have been very good against No. 1 overall picks in their careers.
Entering the 2020 season, Tennessee was 9-3 against former No. 1 overall picks. They did however lose to Joe Burrow and Baker Mayfield, but also beat Matt Stafford which now makes the team 10-5 against players selected No. 1 overall.
Note: The Titans also play former No. 1 picks Kyler Murray, Matthew Stafford, and potentially Cam Newton and Jameis Winston in 2021.
Zach Wilson – Jets – No. 2 Overall Pick
Zach Wilson appears on the schedule in Week 4 as the Titans will travel to New York.
The New York Jets, even with Wilson, aren't expected to see much success on the season so, in theory, this should be an easy win for Tennessee. Odds aren't available for the game at this point but expect to see online sportsbooks heavily favor the Titans.
Trey Lance – 49ers – No. 3 Overall Pick
The San Francisco 49ers quarterback situation is cloudy as it's unconfirmed whether Jimmy Garoppolo or Trey Lance is the guy for this season and especially because the Titans meet the 49ers in Week 16, it's incredibly tough to predict who will be the opposing QB.
Considering NFL betting sites have Lance as the +600 third-option for the Rookie of the Year, it's safe to assume Lance will be the starter by that point in the season.
This will likely make for the toughest challenge among the rookie QBs as the 49ers roster is one of the best in the NFL.
How To Use This For Betting Purposes
The easiest way to transfer this knowledge to betting value is to use it on futures. Tennessee's win total is set at a very obtainable number by itself, but add in the fact that there are up to four games against rookie quarterbacks, and it becomes even easier to reach.
Tennessee Titans 2021/22 Total Wins
Over 9.5 -135
Under 9.5 +105
While it has a bit less value attached to it, bettors could also use this to assume the Titans will make the playoffs. Although, if anyone were to choose between the two options, betting on the win total may be easier to hit and has better NFL odds.
Tennessee Titans- To Make The Playoffs
Yes -150
No +115

– The crust isn't really that thick. It's roughly 21 miles thick and is made up of basaltic rocks that are under the sea, and granitic rocks that make up the continents.
– Nile Crocodiles dig the deepest burrows among all animals, so you can find them at 39 feet under ground.
– There are whole underground cities with shelters and catacombs in different countries. The deepest of them lies at 278 feet under Cappadocia in Turkey.
– Continental crust is about 2 billion years old and it covers about 40 percent of the Earth (yeah, the rest is oceanic crust).
– In 2004, a half-marathon was organized in the Bochnia Salt Mine in Poland. It was the deepest half-marathon ever – you don't often see people running at a depth of 695 feet after all.
– The Earth's crust serves as an electric blanket that covers the mantle. It's rich in the radioactive elements uranium, thorium, and potassium, which produce heat!
– The oceanic crust is never too far, and its average depth is 4.3 miles. It covers around 60 percent of the surface of our planet, and is thinner, denser and younger than the continental crust.
– The pressure is getting more and more extreme, and it's getting colder and colder down here. This is the deepest point where earthquakes are born – the ones that come from here are rare, and get pretty weak by the time they've traveled 435 miles up to the surface.
– At 1,814 miles deep, the mantle ends and the outer core begins. It's a sunless sea of super hot liquid metal that's about the size of Mars.
– Once every several thousand years, something happens in this layer: the magnetic poles reverse, and north and south change places.
– At 2,750 miles, the inner core welcomes you! It's the hottest, innermost part of the planet.
– The inner core is nearly the size of the Moon, and makes up 2 per cent of the Earth's mass.
– Not so long ago, British scientists found out that the inner core is relatively young – probably somewhere between 500 and 1,000 million years old, and that's nothing in terms of Earth science.
– Now, for those of you who are thinking of packing your bags to go see the Earth's core, I have some not-so-good news: it's technically not possible yet, because there's no way to survive the pressure and extreme heat that are waiting down there.

IRET Properties (Investors Real Estate Trust) is a real estate investment organization with several buildings located in Omaha. The company was interested in flexible design solutions for upcoming renovations and came to AOI for help.
AOI introduced IRET to Belbien, an architectural fusion film that can easily be applied to any surface. We began with a small installation in Hewlett Packard's lobby. The client was so thrilled with the results they had AOI install Belbien in four other buildings.
Architectural fusions come in more than 1,500 patterns, including wood, stone, metallic and decorative finishes. They give an unmatched combination of affordability, durability and flexibility. The film is lightweight yet tough enough to stand up to conditions that even some natural materials can't.


Air Lease Corporation (ALC) has signed a long-term agreement with Volaris for the lease of a new A321ceo aircraft.
The aircraft is from Los Angeles-based ALC's orderbook with Airbus and is scheduled for delivery to the Mexican low-cost carrier in spring 2016.
The latest contract marks the third A321 ALC has leased to Volaris, after it confirmed placement of two of the aircraft in February.
Volaris currently operates an all Airbus fleet of 52 aircraft, which also includes A319 and A320 jets.

Willandra Lakes Hominid 50 See Willandra Lakes footprints
In 1980 the skull and some arm, hand and foot bones were found on the surface near Lake Garnpung, not far from Lake Mungo.
This skull and limb bones, the 50 th find of human remains from the Willandra region, Willandra Lakes Hominid 50 (WLH 50), is the most significant of the finds in the area. It is believed the bones eroded out of the Mungo sediment, but as they weren't in situ their original site, or which layer, is not known. The author of the paper to be published on the detailed analysis of the remains describes it as "much more robust and archaic than any Australian hominid found previously ".
An unusual feature of this skull is its preservation, the bone has been completely replaced by silica, the same process as opalisation. It has been said that this man is so robust he makes the Kow Swamp man look gracile, quite a statement, given that the most extreme of the Kow Swamp skulls was more robust than H erectus. The cranium is 210 mm long and very wide. The average thickness of the cranial vault bone is 16 mm. There is a continuous torus above the eyes formed by the massive brow ridges, and a flat, receding forehead. The occipital region of the skull is even more archaic than the other features, displaying substantial cranial buttressing. The neck muscles are huge and the extremely wide skull with the greatest width occurring very low in back view. The width difference above and below the ears is much greater than in any modern people. Combined with these extremely archaic features is a very large brain. With an endocranial capacity of 1450 ml it is much higher than the average of 1300 mm for modern skulls. Like the Kow Swamp people, the skull is flask-shaped from above, all the rugged features in the Kow Swamp people are much more pronounced in this this skull. It is unfortunate that the face, jaw and teeth of this skull are missing. enough of the rest of the body was found to suggest that his body was equally as massive as the skull. The surviving elbow bone is enormous.
The small amount of bone remaining gave an electron spin resonance (ESR) date of 29,000 +/- 5,000 BP, and more recently an OSL dating of 25,000 BP was measured. Some believe that it is more likely to be closer to 35,000 BP at least. There is disagreement about the connections between WLH 1 and WLH 50. Some claim it is simply not possible to have WLH 50 descended from people like WLH 1 because of the extreme difference in proportions as well as the form of the two. The skull bones of WLH 50 is 15-19 mm thick, those of WLH 1 is 2 mm thick.
Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum in London took detailed measurements of WLH 50 and concluded that when the size was taken into account it was of modern type, but in shape it is closer to the Skhul-Qafzeh crania than to the other Australian samples. It now appears that the individual may have had a genetic blood disorder that in Indonesia, where it is believed the Aboriginal People came from, helps protect against malaria. One feature of the cranial thickening in WLH 50 is that it differs from other modern Aboriginal People, in that whereas it is common for the modern male Aboriginal skulls to have some thickening in parts of the cranial vault, WLH 50 had it over the entire vault. If WLH 50 did in fact have a blood disorder it might mean that he was one of the earliest arrivals from Indonesia as there was no malaria in his new home it would be eliminated from the gene pool over the millennia since his arrival in Australia. As at least some of the oldest dated sites in Australia are of a gracile people, maybe he was among, or descended from, more recent arrivals, that still carried the blood disorder that was lost from the gene pool of people who had been in Australia longer, where there was no endemic malaria.
The confusion over the actual dating of the skull, the silica replacement of the bone indicating a very long burial, while the dating was difficult because of the isolated position of the skull, with no possibility of dating associated material, allows some to hold the view that it may actually be more than 35000 years old.
The calvarium of WLH-50 has been used in a study to test the recent African origin theory, that has been suggested to completely replace the archaic forms, known as Homo erectus, so that H. erectus did not contribute to the ancestry of modern Australasians. They compared data for WLH-50 and 3 potential contributors to the ancestry of WLH-50 (Ngandong, Late Pleistocene Africans, Levant hominids from Skhul and Qafzeh) concluding that the results unambiguously refute the complete replacement of these potential contributors to the ancestry of the Australasians, suggesting that the Ngandong hominids should be reclassified as Home sapiens (Hawks et al., 2000).
Not all agree with Hawks et al. Bräuer, Collard and Stringer criticise the methods of Hawks et al., not accepting that their study disproves the Out of Africa hypothesis that requires the complete replacement of earlier populations.
A personal view
This view is based solely on the way things appear to be from what I have read when searching for information for my site. It is obviously not technical, more along the lines of 'if it quacks like a duck ...etc'. Throughout my site I have tried to present the information I find from both the believers and the non-believers point of view, as is the case of WLH-50 and the Out of Africa hypothesis. Who has the most accurate dates for Mungo Man (WLH-3)?
In the recent BBC documentary, Human Journey, based on the Out of Africa hypothesis, the very modern African appearance of the Andaman Island people of the present, and the reconstruction of a skull from India to reveal a modern African appearance, is presented as evidence of the migration from Africa 70,000 years ago. I can accept that, but where I have a problem is trying to imagine this tiny group of Africans, that parted ways from the slightly larger group that set out from Africa, completely replacing long established populations of H. erectus, that presumably were well adapted to their environment, they had been there a long time, as they ran towards Australia. I say ran because they had to get to Australia and, at least it seems to me, completely change their appearance, in less than 10,000 years to be in Australia by 60,000+ years ago. The obvious African features of the Andaman Islanders differs form that of any of the known early Australian crania, as well as modern Aboriginal People. They would also have to learn to survive in that alien environment, with a completely unfamiliar suite of potential food plants they had to find without killing themselves, as in learning how to process cycad seeds to remove the toxins. At the time of their arrival, in the Pleistocene, there were still many of the megafauna animals to deal with. Where the megafauna appear to be referred to in the Dreamtime stories it is usually from a point of view of fear rather than a triumphant hunt.
Is it possible the African migrants passed from Africa, through Indonesia to Australia some time in the last 70,000 years, and by 60,000 years ago looked like Australian Aboriginal People, without mixing with populations that already looked similar to the Aboriginal People, if somewhat more robust, as the earlier population of Indonesia did. And the sites that have been dated to 60,000 years BP are on the present day dry land, not on the continental shelf where they would have landed when they arrived on the last leg of their island-hopping journey, presumably the landing would have occurred some time before 60,000 years ago. After they landed, did they live near the sea they knew for some time before spreading to the interior, that is now the coast, or sprint inland to the sites that have now been excavated, such as Malakunanja II and Nauwalabila I, in Arnhem Land, that at the time were covered with plants they weren't familiar with, so presumably they would have needed some time to work out which plants they could eat.
Is it necessary for a new group to eliminate the older group for the mtDNA from the African group to be inherited by modern descendants? Wouldn't the same result be achieved if the genes of the new group entered the gene pool of the older, much larger group, where it could spread rapidly throughout a territory. Presumable the new genes would confer some advantage that could be selected for. It seems to me this is more likely to explain how some genes, in particular the mtDNA, could be found in individuals who retained some archaic features, as is the case in some of the people whose crania have been described as robust, while others have been described as gracile. The morphological variability among the earliest known people in Australia has been found to be greater than in later skeletal material and the modern Aboriginal People. The modern Aboriginal people have one of the highest degrees of morphological variation in the world. To me this doesn't fit with the original colonists being a homogeneous group with physical features that differ from any known Australian crania.

Southampton Independents: Protect Our Green Spaces!
"Labour can't be trusted with green space at the Sports Centre. How do I know this?
Residents of Millbrook, Maybush and Redbridge know that the Labour Council are selling off green space at Test Lane for more monstrous warehousing like the dreadful Lidl development.
Sports clubs and residents have have told me that they fear the future of the playing fields and the future of children's green space.
The regeneration of Millbrook, Maybush,and Redbridge has put all green space at risk!"
"Residents have seen the Lidl monstrosity be built, against residents' wishes. And they are now suffering traffic chaos because of the poor planning and lack of leadership from the Labour Council.
Residents are very unhappy that Labour councillors voted through even more warehouses at Test Lane.
And residents are extremely unhappy at Labour's 4-year failure to 'regenerate' the area. They showed their anger at the recent public meeting - a meeting that I had to fight hard to make happen, against the wishes of Labour councillors like Cathie McEwing who told residents at the meeting that they were not "interested".
The only way to protect our green spaces is to Vote Independent for Denise Wyatt at the 2016 local elections on 5th May."

"We are thrilled 'DYKES ON BIKES' will be protected under trademark and recognized as a celebration of our identity," said Vick Germany, the group's president. "We are grateful for the incredible advocacy of Brooke Oliver and Pablo Manga of the Brooke Oliver Law Group, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, and Townsend and Townsend and Crew," she said. DLA Piper Rudnick also stood ready to file an amicus brief in support of the group's appeal.
"The positive spirit and legitimacy of 'DYKES ON BIKES' has been vindicated. We are delighted that we have reversed this official federal position of bigotry," said Brooke Oliver, the lead attorney on the case.
The Trademark Office twice rejected the group's application for a trademark last year, on the ground that the name "DYKES ON BIKES" is allegedly disparaging to lesbians. In response, the Brooke Oliver Law Group and the National Center for Lesbian Rights submitted more than two dozen expert declarations from scholars, linguists, psychologists, and activists demonstrating how the word "dyke" has evolved to become a positive term and that lesbians view "DYKES ON BIKES" as a symbol of pride and empowerment. In the face of overwhelming evidence, the Trademark Office then denied the request a final time.
After bringing in additional pro bono assistance from intellectual property law firm Townsend and Townsend and Crew, the San Francisco Women's Motorcycle Contingent appealed the denial to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. After remand, and in a decision issued December 5, the Trademark Office reversed itself and finally published the application. After a short period for public comment, the mark can proceed to registration. This will be the first time the term "dyke" has been trademarked as a stand alone part of a trademark.
"Given trademarks like 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,' any other decision simply was unacceptable" remarked Townsend's Gregory Gilchrist.
The San Francisco Women's Motorcycle Contingent, which is a non-profit group, was forced to seek registration of the name "DYKES ON BIKES" when an individual, unassociated with the organization, attempted to use the phrase for commercial purposes and wanted to charge contingents throughout the country for its use. The San Francisco Women's Motorcycle Contingent organization decided to obtain a trademark to protect the non-commercial use of the name and its meaning to the LGBT community from private commercial use.
The San Francisco Women's Motorcycle Contingent was represented by Brooke Oliver and Pablo Manga of the Brooke Oliver Law Group, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, and Gregory Gilchrist, Leigh Kirmsse and Gia Cincone of Townsend and Townsend and Crew LLP. Anne-Marie Dinius of DLA Piper Rudnick also joined the legal team. Additional information about the case is accessible at www.artemama.com and www.nclrights.org.

Q: Find closest value to a constant in a multidimensional array in Matlab I have a matrix B
B(:,:,1) =

         2     8
         0     5

B(:,:,2) =

         1     3
         7     9

I want to find the index of a value close e.g. to 2.9.
I tried the following code:
[r,c,v] = ind2sub(size(B),find(min(abs(B-2.9))));

I get:
r =

     1
     2
     1
     2
 c =

     1
     1
     2
     2
 v =

     1
     1
     1
     1

What I want is:
r = 1
c = 2
v = 2

because I expect 3 to be the nearest value in the entire matrix. Any idea how I can do this?

A: Convert B to a column (or row) vector and subtract the constant k. k may be greater or smaller than targeted value in B, so use abs to remove this problem. Now use min to find the linear index of the closest value. Then use ind2sub to convert it into corresponding 3D subscripts r, c and v.
k = 2.9;
[~, ind] = min(abs(B(:)-k));
[r, c, v]= ind2sub(size(B), ind);

Whether you have a basic or in-depth knowledge of who Charles Manson is, you should at least know he was the leader of the Manson Family and that some of his followers committed a series of murders in California in the late 60's.
Well, it seems Quentin Tarantino— Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill— is set to direct a movie based on those events, with rumours going round that Margot Robbie and Jennifer Lawrence are in the running to play Sharon Tate, one of Manson's victims.
"They're both extremely accomplished actresses but I would have to say, my pick would be Margot. Simply because her physical beauty and the way she even carries herself is similar to that of Sharon".
"I don't think as much about Jennifer Lawrence", she continued, "Not that I have anything against her. But she just, I don't know, she's not pretty enough to play Sharon. That's a horrible thing to say, but I have my standards".
"He needs to, in my opinion, portray her as she was and not sensationalize or go into a lot of these internet rumors".

Peter Mollez, né le  à Poperinge, est un joueur de football belge qui évolue au poste de gardien de but.

Carrière
Peter Mollez est repéré par le FC Bruges alors qu'il n'a que 14 ans. Le club et les observateurs le considèrent à l'époque comme un des grands espoirs du football belge. Il reçoit même une invitation pour passer un test à Arsenal, mais le club refuse qu'il se rende dans le club londonien. Il intègre le noyau professionnel en 2003, mais ne parvient pas à déloger le gardien titulaire Tomislav Butina. En 2004, il est prêté au voisin du Cercle de Bruges pour un an. Il commence la saison comme gardien remplaçant, et fait ses débuts en D1 lors d'un match contre... le FC Bruges, au cours duquel il monte au jeu pour prendre la place de Ricky Begeyn, exclu. Le Cercle s'incline 5 à 0, mais Mollez jouera tous les autres matches de la saison.

Sa bonne saison ne lui permet pas de revenir au Club de Bruges comme titulaire. Peter Mollez quitte alors le club et signe un contrat à La Gantoise en juillet 2005. Il ne joue qu'un match de Coupe de Belgique avec les « Buffalos », et en fin de saison, il est transféré à Courtrai, en division 2, où il signe un contrat pour les trois prochaines saisons.

Kurt Vandoorne est le gardien titulaire lorsque Mollez arrive à Courtrai. Il reçoit sa chance lors du huitième match de la saison, et reste ensuite le premier gardien de l'équipe jusqu'en fin de saison. Il entame la saison 2007-2008 comme titulaire, et remporte le titre de champion de Division 2. Pour le retour du club en première division, il est confirmé comme titulaire. Malgré tout, en janvier 2009, il souhaite quitter le club et trouve un accord avec le club néerlandais du Sparta Rotterdam. Mais Courtrai ne le laisse pas partir, et il doit aller au bout de son contrat, qui expire en fin de saison.

Peter Mollez termine donc la saison à Courtrai, mais le Sparta Rotterdam a entretemps trouvé un autre gardien. Finalement, il trouve un terrain d'entente avec Dender durant l'été 2009, et retourne jouer en Division 2. Il y reste une saison mais son contrat n'est pas prolongé.

En juin 2013, il s'engage avec le KVK Westhoek, en Promotion.

Palmarès
 1 fois champion de Belgique de D2 en 2008 avec Courtrai.

Recently I have discussed support for extensible models in EclipseLink JAXB (MOXy) 2.3. The metadata for the extensions is supplied via MOXy's mapping document. In this post I will demonstrate how to leverage MOXy's support for multiple mapping documents to keep your metadata organized.
Each version of your application could isolate its metadata changes in a separate mapping document.
This set of mappings corresponds to real properties in our domain model.
This set of mappings corresponds to the virtual properties that were added to our application in the first version.
This mapping document corresponds to the virtual properties that were added in the second version of the application.
The mapping documents are passed in when creating the JAXBContext via the properties Map. This properties accepts the mapping documents in many different formats (String, URL, Node, InputStream, XMLStreamReader, etc), and now in EclipseLink 2.3 you can pass in a list of mapping documents.
The following domain model is used in this example.
Would you mind asking this question on the EclipseLink forum or EclipseLink users mailing list (eclipselink-users@eclipse.org)? That way we can get the EclipseLink JPA folks in on the discussion too.


00:00:00 - In our final AGU episode, Abe and Ryan host a roundtable discussion with some of the researchers who took the train from Scripps Oceanographic Institute (@scripps_ocean) in San Diego all the way to DC as part of their #trAinGU initiative that they've been doing for several years now. You may have gotten a glimpse of this chat if you follow us or Scripps on twitter. In no particular order we chatted with: Wesley Neely (@SIOHydrogeodesy), Adrian Doran, Dara Goldberg (@dara_berg_), and Margaret Lindeman (@maaahge).
00:37:40 - Joe enjoys another drink from his local poke place, this time a ume juice drink. Ryan and Abe are sharing a Partner Ship collaboration beer from Heavy Seas and Maine Brewing Co., who contribute a portion of the proceeds to the Clean Water Fund, and that seems like a no brainer as a good thing.
00:43:50- And then we talk about why taking the train to scientific meetings can send an important message about how we each manage our own personal carbon footprint as well as how much fun a multi-day train trip sounds. You can see tweets from past trips and follow along the next time they embark with the hashtag #trAinGU.
01:02:07 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like train journeys, they're best when they stay on the rails. We begin with the immense pleasure of grating a BSSO, this time to Patron Leah A. The title of her thesis is: Testing the efficacy of supersonic nuclear-powered mag-lev trains as high-capacity rapid evacuation vectors during massive tectonic events: derailing the strike-slip damage of the San Andreas. Thanks, Leah! Next, Abe has an e-mail from IRL friend of the show Morgan Marshall, who has questions about a certain city-wide destruction movie starring Dwayne Johnson, which doesn't narrow things down as much as one might think. And Joe reads an impromptu tweet about the show from artist Kat MacDonald (@macdokat) which just gives us all the warm and fuzzies. Finally, a brief reminder that the back catalog of Joe's show Technically Speaking is still available on Soundcloud here.
More cool rewards await you if you decide to support us on our Patreon!
00:00:00 - Dr. Heather Ford (@hl_ford), who was featured alongside a certain Paleopal for National Fossil Day, meets up with Ryan at Atlas Brew Works with her pup Sammy to talk about her work as a paleocenagropher, which apparently involves shooting lasers at tiny fossils to take the ocean's temperatures.
00:28:18 - Since they're already at a brewery, why not have a drink? Heather has the Blood Orange Gose and Ryan is having the Coffee Common, both from Atlas Brew Works, obviously. And thanks to the folks at the brewery for letting us record there!
00:31:45 - Back in the studio for drinks round two! Charlie's up first with some more Ito En unsweetened green tea to get that sweet sweet caffeinated buzz. Patrick is trying to confront past demons with some Bruichladdich Classic Laddie Scotch whisky. And Ryan mixes up an artichoke manhattan by adding in a little Cynar.
00:39:52 - In part two of our conversation with Heather, we chat about her work examining gender and racial equity in speaking opportunities at meetings such as AGU. Get a peak behind the scenes of how big meetings are organized, some thoughts on what allies can do to pull their weight more, and advice to young folks just getting started in their scientific careers.
01:11:09 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like the ocean, they say they have no memory. First up, longtime listener Edward A. has completed the requirements for a BSso in part with a thesis titled: Foremost ramifications: Sexual dimorphism in metabolic processing of ethanol versus caffeine in Scottish foraminifera. Thanks for supporting the show, Edward! Next up, Frank O. has done a deep dive into some old episodes of ours and has thoughts. This leads to a discussion of whether or not it's worth debating science with deniers (related: Ryan's episode for Skeptoid countering some common and less common creationist claims). We end with an e-mail from Aleesa S. who follows up on our publishing discussion in episode 295 with a thought about the publish-or-perish paradigm and the role scientific societies might play in the future of publishing.
00:00:00 - Jill Shipman and Brandon Gellis join us to talk about their AGU eLightning session titled Art and Science: Transdisciplinary Approaches to Data Exploration and Communication. We talk about this novel presentation format, one of the featured talks, and Jill's collaboration to make music using infrasonic recordings from a volcano (which serves as the featured music for this episode!).
00:30:53 - One thing that can make folks more musical is a drink, so let's have one! Kelly classes up the joint with a Cabernet Sauvignon from J. Lohr. Ryan, inspired by Backwards Distilling in Wyoming, attempts a Rum & Coke Old Fashioned with Mexican Coke syrup and Doctor Bird rum. It's all a bit much. Joe doesn't know the implications of his Faygo Rock & Rye, but Ryan has some ideas about rock candy whiskey and juggalos.
00:41:59 - We start the second segment chatting about Brandon's work using drones with scientific sensors to make art, and about the deeper connections of what it means to be an artist that focuses on using the cutting edge of technology to push the boundaries of art. Find out more and Jill and Brandon's projects are their websites, http://www.brandongellis.com/ and http://jillshipman.com/, respectively.
00:59:05 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like volcanoes; they occasionally decide to shake things up. We shake things up this episode by not doing our normal order of things. Kelly starts off with a kind comment from Patreon supporter J. Crichton, an individual with obvious great taste. Next, Joe has an email from Steve O. about how we would build a multi-generational starship to colonize new worlds. We get into it. If you're interested in some good fiction on the topic, check out Seveneves and The Expanse series. And if you're interested in how emerging technologies might make these sorts of trips possible, check out Kelly's book Soonish, which comes out in paperback, wait for it, soon. Finally, we turn our attention to Patron Bradley S., who has earned a BSso with his thesis: All Aboard: Multi-generational transitions from mutualism to parasitism in a space-faring human meta-micro-biome: There and not back again. See ya when you get back, Brad, and thanks! Kelly is working hard on some upcoming BAHFest shows, so get your tickets soon, Joe is looking for volunteers for upcoming Baja SAE events, and Ryan has recently been on iFanboy, so check all that out while you wait for another episode from us!
00:00:00 - In part two of our AGU shows we begin with dunes! Ryan chats with Tom Ashley (@ThomasCAshley) and Rob Mahon (@RobertCMahon) about their work looking at how dunes form and move in a variety of conditions on, and off, Earth! And students, Robert is looking for grad students, so check out his website if you're interested. The topic reminds Charlie of this old book a guy wrote about dunes because he was bored at war.
00:37:44 - All this talk of particle hops gives one a powerful thirst. Patrick returns to an old favorite to see if he still like it and it's Port! It's sweet, but which definition of that word you use is up to you. Charlie is in his office so pops the tab on a Tangerine La Croix. Fancy. Ryan keeps it cryptic with a Skrrt! Skrrt! from Braven Brewing Company and their potentially Brachiolope inspired logo.
00:45:46 - Next up, Mike O'Connor tells us about his work poking holes in the ground in the Arctic Circle and what that might mean for future carbon emissions. Plus, Mike spent some time on the policy side of science and tells us about his experience working with lawmakers and how scientists can be better lobbyists for our cause.
01:16:13 -PaleoPOWs are a lot like congress; constantly needing to be reminded what to do. Brachiolope artist and patron supporter Sonya A. has earned herself a thesis. After some deliberation, we land on: The aeolian effects of sandy and tundra environments on the sexual dimorphism of the nares of Brachiolope podcastensis: Implications for sexual selection and mating vocalization across climatic extremes. Our first thesis featuring a Brachiolope, congrats, Sonya! Next up, Charlie reads an e-mail from Tom S. letting us know an important fact about Blade Runner, which leads to a brief discussion of the original and sequel films. Finally, Chen R. L. wants Ryan to finally learn Git and/or GitHub, and provides a video with some instructions. Nice try, Chen.
00:00:00 - Photographer, filmmaker, and lapsed geomorphologist James Balog (@james_balog) joins Ryan and Abe to talk about his new film The Human Element, which screened at AGU and is available to stream now! After quizzing him about his Masters' research, we spend some time learning about the inspiration for his new film and the challenges that come with trying to tell the stories of real people affected by climate change.
00:39:54 - A spicy, salty, bubbly, beverage would incorporate all four elements, but would you drink it? Joe goes the sour route with a Choya Yuzu place, to make up for Ben recent lack of Asian beverages. Thanks for stepping up, Joe. Ryan and Abe are sharing a crowler of Creek Life (Denali) from Attaboy Beer picked up during a recent PA/MD adventure.
00:47:25 - Because Ryan is bad at saying no to things, he wound up running a podcasting workshop at AGU with Abe and Jackson Watkins (@ProbablyJackson) of the Humanizing Science podcast. Ryan chatted with Jackson briefly prior to the workshop at the meeting, then he and Abe talk a bit about the aftermath of teaching scientists to podcast.
01:04:20 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like humans, messy but loveable. First up, Joe asks us to come up with a thesis for former freeloading but now Patron Tommy M. Based on a supposed love of plants, Tommy's thesis is: Freeloading in the plant word: Anthropogenic carbon surplus pushes vegetation to the extremes… are we heading from Anthropocene to a new Plantacene? Thanks for supporting the show, Tommy! Abe is up next with an e-mail about Czech pronunciation (as developed by Jan Hus) from our old friend Robert Š. Did we get it right? Who knows! (Robert, that's who.) Finally, Ryan gets corrected by Will S. regarding stream law! That's right, you now know your legal rights regarding naturally-occurring rivulets of water. Enjoy!
00:00:00 - To celebrate our 300th episode and make up for skipping Thanksgiving this year we're doing an all feedback segment! Patrick starts off with an e-mail from Stephen H. who has spotted a potential relative of the Brachiolope (see below) and wants our take on its potential evolutionary pathway. Ryan comes next with an e-mail from Prof. Ken C. trying to help settle a long-standing debate about the appropriate prefix for supervillains versus superheroes. Charlie follows up on the pigeonhole debate with many facts from potential etymologist Ascii Aardvark, even if Charlie can't remember why said facts are relevant. And finally, Abe prefers Icelandic to Spanish when it comes to describing the ice features found on Europa as reported by Emma G. Thanks, everyone!
00:41:54 - Drinks are better with friends, and thankfully we have some. Patrick keeps it popular with a gin and tonic, hailing back to the early days of the show without even realizing it, made using Explorer's Gin and Fever Tree tonic. Lime type remains unspecified. Charlie has Ito En Oi Ocha green tea from Japan to help him keep his wits about him. Ryan reflects that with a Mirror Mirror that's been aging since before the show began, no joke. And Abe relies on some Rocket Science to get him through to the next segment.
01:33:02 - No need for a traditional PaleoPOW segment this week since we covered it at the beginning of the show, instead Ryan has a quick conversation with Tim Dobbs, audio engineer and host of Encyclopedia Brunch, about his history with the show and various other nonsense, as well as asking the others what the show means to them and ending everything with a melodious (or cacophonous) "sort of" chorus submitted by y'all.
Thanks to everyone who sent in their "sort ofs" for the chorus, you helped make a milestone extra special!
00:00:00 - This episode we're joined by Sarah McAnulty (@SarahMackAttack), a Ph.D. candidate studying the immune system of the bobtail squid, which is delightfully cute and glows in the dark to avoid detection. You can see some of her research in action in this video: Bobtails + Bacteria = BFF. Finally, according to Sarah and Alton Brown, EAT ALL THE SQUIDS THAT YOU CAN, THE OCEAN DEPENDS ON IT.
00:24:15 - Squids live in the drink and Abe stops by for one. He's enjoying, as best he can, a Native Species from Blue Mountain Brewery. Ryan thinks the call is coming from inside the house with his Inside Job IPA from Henhouse Brewing, which is mercifully west coast in styling.
00:29:20 - We're back with Sarah chatting about her ongoing outreach effort, Skype a Scientist, which works to connect researchers with classrooms and other venues that want to have a conversation with a real live scientist. Ryan is a participant and a big fan. If you or someone you know could be a participant on either side of the equation, consider signing up! You can also support the project on Patreon.
00:53:23 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like squids, or are they? First up, Tyler D. is deserving of a Patreon thesis, and based on some assumptions of his location and interests, he gets: Potential pharmacological effects of Cephalopod spaghettification in the preparation of Cincinnati-style chili: do oodles of noodles decrease oodles of squids in the world's oceans? Thanks, Tyler! Next, Gary K. went to GSA 2018 and sent us some notes, which prompts a brief discussion of conference attendance strategies.
00:00:00 - A quick intro to let everyone know that this episode features an interview with former guest of the show (episode 97) Dr. Nick Pyenson recorded live at Room 11 in D.C. Thanks for Room 11 for having us!
01:12:59 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like new year celebrations, noisy but with a sense of finality. This week we thank Ian C. for his time as a recurring donor to the show. Thanks, Ian! Here's to another year of science with all you lovely people.

What is medicinal cannabis?
Broadly speaking, medicinal cannabis is cannabis prescribed to relieve the symptoms of a medical condition, such as epilepsy. It is important to make the distinction between medicinal cannabis and recreational cannabis. Recreational cannabis is the form of cannabis that people use to get 'high'.1
For some people suffering from chronic or terminal illnesses, conventional medicines do not work, or do not work as effectively as medicinal cannabis. Also, for some patients, conventional medicines may work but cause debilitating side effects that cannabis can help to relieve.2
Other types of cannabinoids
Butane hash oil
What are cannabinoids?
The main psychoactive ingredient of cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which acts on specific receptors in the brain known as cannabinoid or CB1 receptors.3
Research has found that the cannabis plant produces between 80 and 100 cannabinoids and about 300 non-cannabinoid chemicals. The two main cannabinoids that have been found to have therapeutic benefits are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). There have been claims that a number of other cannabinoids have therapeutic properties, but these have not yet been proven.1
The main difference between the two cannabinoids is that THC has strong psychoactive effects, meaning it makes a person 'high', whereas CBD is thought to have an anti-psychoactive effect that controls or moderates the 'high' caused by the THC. CBD is also thought to reduce some of the other negative effects that people can experience from THC, such as anxiety.4
The psychoactive effects of THC, such as euphoria and feeling relaxed or sleepy, are well known, but THC has also been found to have analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, as well as being able to prevent and reduce vomiting.1
Research is being conducted into CBD for its potential to treat epilepsy, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, type 2 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, some tumours, and drug dependency.1
The endocannabinoid system is a unique communications system found in the brain and body that affects many important functions.5 It is made up of natural molecules known as cannabinoids, and the pathways they interact with. Together, these parts work to regulate a number of activities, including mood, memory, sleep and appetite. It is thought that medicinal cannabis can treat various illness by acting on the endocannabinoid system.6
Types and forms of medicinal cannabis
There are three main forms of cannabis that can be used medicinally:
Pharmaceutical cannabis products that are approved by an organisation such as the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), including nabiximols (Sativex®) and synthetic cannabinoids such as Dronabinol®. Sativex, which comes as a nasal or oral spray, has been approved in over 24 countries for treating spasticity due to multiple sclerosis.
Controlled and standardised herbal cannabis (plant products), such as the products produced in the Netherlands.
Unregulated and illegal herbal cannabis (plant products), which contains unknown concentrations of cannabinoids and potentially harmful impurities such as bacteria and mould (USA only).7
Why smoking cannabis for medical purposes is not recommended
A number of people make the claim that smoked cannabis should be considered as a treatment for various medical conditions or even as a cure for cancer. However, there are two major concerns regarding this type of cannabis and this method of administration. Firstly, smoking is a particularly harmful way of taking cannabis, mainly because carcinogenic substances are inhaled directly into the lungs. Smoking cannabis is not recommended by health authorities, as the smoked form contains at least 50 of the same carcinogens as tobacco.8
Secondly, the majority of medicines used in Australia are produced under strict conditions: that way, doctors who are prescribing them (as well as people who are using them) know exactly what is in them. It is important that doctors know that medicines have been tested and that each dose is the same. This means doctors can monitor the effects of the drug and doses can be adjusted according to a patient's needs. When recreational cannabis is used as medicine, doctors and patients can't be sure of these things – they don't know how strong it is or what mix of chemicals is in it, and as a consequence, one dose will never be the same as another.8
There is a considerable need for medicines and therapies that can help and alleviate the painful symptoms of a number of illnesses and diseases. An increasing number of studies suggest that medicinal cannabis in the form of oral extracts, sprays or pills can reduce these symptoms and aid in the treatment of some illnesses. However, as with many other drugs, medicinal cannabis can also cause unwanted side effects, such as difficulty with concentration, dizziness, drowsiness, loss of balance, and problems with thinking and memory.9
Special Access Scheme
Under the TGA Special Access Scheme, some forms of medicinal cannabis are currently available. The scheme provides for the import and supply of an unapproved therapeutic good to individual patients on a case-by-case basis. Recently, the TGA has made changes to its Special Access Scheme that will make it easier for medical practitioners to prescribe cannabis-based medicines for patients in need, under certain conditions.
Access to medicinal cannabis
Legislation to allow for the cultivation of cannabis in Australia for medical or scientific purposes has been passed by the federal government. This involved an amendment to the Narcotics Drugs Act 1967 and will allow for cultivation through a national licensing scheme.
The Narcotic Drug Amendment Bill 2016 provides a legislative framework that will permit cannabis cultivation in Australia for medicinal and related research purposes. The legislation also ensures that when the cultivation, production and manufacture of cannabis begin, Australia will remain compliant with its international obligations.
The Commonwealth will control all regulatory aspects of the cultivation of cannabis for medicinal purposes through one national scheme. Manufacture will be a joint responsibility between the Commonwealth and the states and territories. Access to any cannabis products manufactured under the scheme will also be a joint responsibility, with supply being controlled by provisions under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 working in tandem with state and territory drugs and poisons legislation.10,11
More about Australian federal legislation
The Office of Medicinal Cannabis has been established within the Department of Health and Human Services and is responsible for establishing the Victorian medicinal cannabis framework. The office will work closely with the medical profession as well as patients and families as the scheme is implemented.
Read more about the Victorian situation.
The NSW Government has established the Centre for Medicinal Cannabis Research and Innovation to further the understanding of cannabis and cannabis products for therapeutic purposes, and support evidence-based innovation.
The Centre will draw on local and international researchers to advance the formal understanding of medicinal cannabis, monitor the NSW-funded clinical trials, educate the community and help stakeholders navigate regulatory processes.

Queensland is making the use of approved medicinal cannabis products possible as a treatment for certain conditions when the patient has already tried the conventional treatments available for their condition or symptoms, and these have failed or cause intolerable side-effects.
Read more about the QLD situation.
Since November 2016, medical practitioners in South Australia can legally prescribe medicinal cannabis products with Commonwealth and relevant state approvals.
Read more about the SA situation.
From 1 November 2016 it will be legal for a doctor to prescribe, and a pharmacist to dispense, medicinal cannabis in Western Australia. Despite this change in legislation, supplies of medicinal cannabis are not expected to be available until early 2017 at the earliest.

The Hodgman Liberal Government is supporting Tasmanians to get access to medical cannabis through the Controlled Access Scheme from September 1.
Read more about the situation in Tasmania.
In order to prescribe cannabis as a controlled medicine, doctors should obtain authority from the ACT Chief Health Officer (CHO) under the same process which currently applies for other controlled medicines such as opiates and amphetamines.
Read more about the situation in ACT.
A patient living in the Northern Territory must access medicines containing cannabinoids through a Northern Territory doctor who is authorised under the Special Access or Authorised Prescriber Schemes administered by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
