Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan 1880s
by Sven Verbeek Wolthuys | Jul 11, 2020 | Picture Stories
Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan (Koningsplein Zuid) in the 1880s
A peaceful view of the eastern entrance to Koningsplein Zuid (now Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan). The photo, by an unknown photographer, was taken from the intersection with Koningsplein Oost (Jalan Medan Merdeka Timur) and Prapatan Gambir (Jalan Ridwan Rais). We are looking west, with the large one square kilometre Koningsplein on the right side. During the 1880s this was very much an empty space. Koningsplein Zuid was surrounded by large trees on both sides, which provided some welcome shade in the tropics.
Stasiun Gambir
At the front we see the railway crossing with a sign "Halt" (Stop). In our times we would see train station Gambir on the right, and the massive new complex of the American Embassy on the left. Since 1992 the train line is elevated and crosses the road at a height of around 10 metres. Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan is now one-way traffic going west, however a number of 19th century former colonial homes are still present and in excellent condition. See the comment box for a picture of the exact same location in 2019.
Shades of BOPLO 1914-2020
The sign on the north side of the Cut Meutia mosque building in 2020
Since the completion of De Bouwploeg building in November 1913 at Entree Gondangdia (now Taman Cut Meutia) the company did not occupy the offices at all. Instead, it used a newly built villa at Boulevard Gondangdia 9 (Jalan Teuku Umar 9) as their main office. The first cracks in the company appeared in 1914. Newspaper Bataviaasch Nieuwsblad published on 29 April 1914 that De Bouwploeg discontinued its activities. The newspaper article also mentioned that the company's forge, lime kilns and carpenter's shop would be rented out. Three days later, another newspaper in Batavia/Jakarta pointed out that the end of De Bouwploeg was not difficult to predict. "Again an Indies business established by people incapable of carrying out this task, who suffered from a borderless overconfidence. Courage resulted in recklessness". However two days later Director Elenbaas explicitly denied the shutdown of De Bouwploeg, and the company indeed continued and also kept publishing advertisements in the newspapers.
Pandhuisdienst
In August 1914 Elenbaas resigned, and he was succeeded by Mr. W.A. van Cuijk. The Bouwploeg building itself was since that month rented out to the Pandhuisdienst. De Bouwploeg still advertised in the newspapers until 1916; afterwards its activities slowly decreased. The company was officially liquidated on 10 September 1920 after the Batavia City Council had decided to purchase all the possessions of De Bouwploeg for 2 million guilders. More than a century later we can still see the contours of the name "NV De Bouwploeg" on the north side of today's Cut Meutia mosque if the sun shines on the plastered banner. We have increased the contrast of the picture to show it a bit better.
De Bouwploeg 1914
by Sven Verbeek Wolthuys | Jun 30, 2020 | Picture Stories
De Bouwploeg building on Taman Cut Meutia in 1914
The company responsible for the development of the northeastern part of what is now Menteng, but at the time New Gondangdia, was called De Bouwploeg (literally translated: The Construction Crew) and established in November 1909. Leading people in this company were Director G. Elenbaas, Deputy Director and Engineer Ch. P. Wolff Schoemaker and Architect P.A.J. Moojen. Thecompany had a massive task. By 1911 construction of the first houses commenced along Entree Gondangdia (now Taman Cut Meutia), Boulevard Gondangdia (later Van Heutszboulevard and now Jalan Teuku Umar), Tandjonglaan (Jalan Tanjung) and Nieuwe Tamarindelaan (Jalan Sam Ratulangi). De Bouwploeg company aimed to be fully independent and did not outsource any services. It had its own factories and workshops to produce materials and even furniture.
"Malaria free district of Gondangdia"
Hence it advertised in newspapers "We build and fully furniture houses in the new malaria free district of Gondangdia". The company's own brick and tile company delivered 140,000 cement bricks, 15,000 roof tiles and 300 sewer pipes a week. The botanical gardens in Bogor provided advice on what the best trees would be to plant in the new district, and nurseries in the vicinity of Bogor were cultivating over 10,000 trees, which would be transported to Batavia/Jakarta in stages during the 1910s. The Batavia municipality was responsible for the construction of roads, waterworks and parks.
De Bouwploeg at first was based in Kota in the building of the Court of Justice (now Museum Seni Rupa dan Keramik), moved to the address Kramat 182 in 1911, and finally would be based in its own premises as from November 1913. Construction of this characteristic building (which is now the Cut Meutia mosque) commenced in April 1912 and would cost 80,000 guilders. It was designed by Moojen himself. This photo was taken from the first floor of the just completed building of the Kunstkring.

Taman Cut Meutia 1941
Taman Cut Meutia (Van Heutszplein) in 1941
A rare view in colour of the eastern end of the Van Heutszplein (now Taman Cut Meutia) with the intersection at Tjikini (Cikini). At the end of this road it turns left into Menteng (Jalan Menteng Raya) and right into Tjikini (Jalan Cikini Raya) and Oud Gondangdia (Jalan R.P. Soeroso). There are so many interesting sights on this picture. Behind the car is the 19th century Indies house known at the time as "Huize Vijfsprong" (Rumah Simpang Lima), a home for single and homeless girls. It was demolished but completely rebuilt a few years ago using the original drawings and is now called "De Fontein" (The Fountain) and will be the entrance and conference hall of a high rise apartment block that will be constructed soon.
The tram of line 5 on this picture passes the tram stop. This covered shed was built in 1899 when the electric tram between Tanah Abang and Cikini was introduced, 12 years before the road on this picture was constructed. At that time there was only a small dirt road next to the tram line, called Gang Kampoeng Baroe that led to the nearby kampung with the same name. Behind the tram we see the Tjikini post office (Kantor Pos Cikini) that -at the time of this photo- was under construction, but nearly reached completion. It would open in December 1941. The house with red roof tiles on the right had the address Oud Gondangdia 1 and was in 1941 the home of Mr. F. van Otten, director of the Batavia branch of the Semarangsche Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij (Semarang Sea and Fire Insurance Company). This picture is a screenshot of rare colour footage, shot by Dutch cameraman Mr. J.H. Zindler, only a few months before the Japanese invasion.
Taman Cut Meutia (Entree Gondangdia) in 1913
Construction of new houses in the district of New Gondangdia started off very slowly in the first three years. In 1911 16 houses were built, of which 11 on what is now Taman Cut Meutia (formerly Entree Gondangdia and from 1932 onwards Van Heutszplein). In 1912 34 new houses were delivered, in 1913 66. These new houses were built immediately southwest of the train line next to the new building of De Bouwploeg (now Mesjid Cut Meutia) along newly constructed streets like Nieuwe Tamarindelaan (now Jalan Sam Ratulangi), Tandjonglaan (now Jalan Tanjung), Villalaan (now Jalan Cendana) and the prestigious double-lane "Boulevard Gondangdia" which became Van Heutszboulevard in 1924 and Jalan Teuku Umar in 1950.
De Bouwploeg
Most of these streets were not longer than 100-200 metres in 1913, and would then end in sawahs, fish ponds and coconut plantations, as the majority of New Gondangdia and Menteng still characterised at the time. However drilling work could be witnessed at several locations, to prepare the soil for upcoming building works. Construction of the building of De Bouwploeg itself started in April 1912 and was completed in November 1913. This picture dates from 1913 and shows De Bouwploeg in the distance nearing its completion with some bamboo scaffolding left around the dome. The two trams than ran along the middle section of the double road belonged to the line that connected Tanah Abang with Cikini/Kali Pasir.
This new Entree Gondangdia still had a more less countrified appearance in 1913, however the street would soon be lined with majestic palm trees, also known as 'koningspalm' in Dutch or 'palem raja' in Bahasa Indonesia, and would give the scene a more prominent and stylish character

Business becoming more sustainable is good for the environment and presents the opportunity to substantially reduce future energy spend and operating costs. However, Alwyn Frank advises that developing and executing a strategy to enable this outcome requires some expert commercial and procurement support.
Why seek to make your estate more sustainable?
Regardless of whether your organisation has a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission target, reducing emissions is consistent with good corporate stewardship. It can also support the case for wider change and improvement in organisations, such as investment in improving the spaces in which people work and live.
Over the next 20 years the move to a zero-carbon economy will require the use of fossil fuels including gas, LPG and heating oil, to be almost completely eradicated. A substantial proportion of energy demand will transfer to electricity, further increasing demand for lectricity and pushing up prices. With electricity prices forecast to increase by approximately 75% in the next ten years(1), and gas by approximately 30%(2), there is a compelling business case for almost every organisation to consume less energy and become more sustainable.
We have a GHG emissions target and we work to that
Many organisations will already have a GHG emissions reduction target and may be on track to achieve this, however we believe that here are two fundamental challenges in only focusing on the current targets. First, as above, the price of energy is going to increase significantly, so neglecting opportunities to reduce emissions below target will end up costing organisations money.
Second, in the next ten years the target will become net zero from grid, requiring further investment in reducing GHG emissions across he economy. This needs to be reflected in current corporate policy and investment decisions to avoid a situation where considerable future expense is needed to upgrade performance to meet future, lower emissions targets. An over-arching strategy to deliver best value for money is crucial for any organisation.
Even where government targets do not apply to your organisation, it is clear that society as a whole is shifting rapidly away from fossil fuels. As investment is re-focused, we are likely to see reductions in the infrastructure to support fossil fuel technologies. With the UK's fourth carbon budget requiring a 51% reduction in GHG by 2025, this change will be happening sooner than you expect.
What should an organisation do to become more sustainable?
Current and future energy needs vary considerably from organisation to organisation, as do the budgets available for investment in sustainability initiatives. Consequently, objectives and strategies need to be carefully aligned to each organisation's situation, and funding solutions and contracting models tailored to deliver the outcomes being targeted. Capita Procurement Solutions has specific expertise in developing strategic and commercial approaches that are appropriate for a broad range of organisations. This includes defining strategy, developing funding and commercial models, procuring service providers against these contracts, and in-contract commercial support.
How do I see if this is right for my organisation?
We can conduct an initial assessment of your organisation. To maximise the value provided this will include consideration of energy consumed both directly and within the influence of the organisation, assessment of current and future GHG emission targets and sustainability initiatives, as well as the organisation's aspirations in this space. This initial assessment will identify strengths and weaknesses of current approaches to sustainability, including opportunities to accelerate towards zero carbon and the likely financial and other benefits to your organisation.

It would appear that the little one has finally developed a fear of the dark. This is unfortunate. Since she was six months old she's slept through the night with the door closed and without the need for a night light. The last few days, she's lept out of bed as soon as we've gone downstairs, crying about 'scary'.
She's also going through a 'want to be with Mummy phase'. On the one hand, it means I've had a few lie ins lately, which were nice. On the other it means I'm being rejected by a two and a half year old, and since we're back into the alternating routine of morning shifts, the daily routine begins for me at 5.30 with a screaming temper tantrum. Her, not me, I hasten to add.
That meant that for a couple of nights we thought she was faking it with the scarys, and trying to get Mummy back into the room. Oops. Bad parents.

Kieran Bew and Ben Batt for the heart; Maxine Peake, Rakhee Thakrar and Alison Steadman for the head; Rules of the Game offers some luxury casting for a ferocious tale of post-#MeToo workplace life
"You don't get to leave us, you're part of this"
With obedient poodle Nadine Dorries doing her level best to distract from the utter shitshow that has become Boris Johnson's reign by wielding a headline-stealing axe over the BBC, it feels like we ought to be celebrating whatever drama Aunty can still provide us at the moment. Latest up is Ruth Fowler's 4-parter Rules of the Game which stars a red-hot Maxine Peake and makes Alison Steadman as scary as she's ever been.
Set in and around the offices of Fly Dynamics, a Cheshire-based, family-run sportswear company that is on the verge of a stock market flotation designed to take them global, COO Sam finds a significant fly in the ointment when she trips over a body in their foyer. In a Big Little Lies-ish twist, we don't find out who is it but rather, we're plunged into the trials and tribulations of what turns out to be the most toxic of workplaces.

The Invisible Woman, in which Charles Dickens is a dick, Joanna Scanlan is magnificent and Ralph Fiennes is really rather good as both director and star
"He is a good man…trying to be a good man"
A film I've had on my 'must get round to watching' list for a wee while now, The Invisible Woman turns out to be an embrassment of riches for pretty much everyone involved. Written by Abi Morgan and adapted from Claire Tomalin's novel of the same name, its focus is the years-long love affair between Charles Dickens and Nelly Ternan which had been subject to a superinjunction of its time and thus largely secret.
And directed by Ralph Fiennes who also stars as Dickens, it is a rather fine film indeed, eloquently restrained in its depiction of the emotional impact of him being, well, a cad. We open with Felicity Jones' Nelly married to someone else at some point in the future but soon flash back to her late teenage years when trying to make it as an actress, her path fatefully crosses with the illustrious writer and his inflated ego.

An entertaining cast make the curious Effie Gray more engaging than it might otherwise have been
"Marriage, dear boy, is all about learning how to wait"
In what turned out to be an afternoon of staid, true-life Victorian romances, Effie Gray turned out to be the odder. Richard Laxton's film, written by Emma Thompson, follows the story of the troubled marriage between polymath John Ruskin and Euphemia 'Effie' Gray which was never consummated and ended when she bucked the social mores of the time to pursue an annulment, which she was indeed granted.
And starting as we do with the marriage between the pair, we see a lot – a LOT – of the dry and dessicated home life of the couple which kicks off with him professing disgust at her naked person and agreeing a five year abstention from sex so he could focus on his work. Plus, his family – with whom they live – aren't much keener on her, so life's generally a downer. Continue reading "Film Review: Effie Gray (2014)"
Series 16 of Silent Witness benefits hugely from the introduction of David Caves and Liz Carr as Jack and Clarissa and the booming final scene
"The Lyell Centre will need to change or die"
Starting with the off-screen departure of Harry and ending quite literally with a bang that further shuffles the cast, Series 16 of Silent Witness finally bites the bullet of the significant change that it needed probably 2 or 3 seasons ago. The introduction of David Caves and Liz Carr as Jack and Clarissa allows for the incorporation of forensic science more explicitly in the Lyell's work. And if nothing else, the addition of new blood just freshens up the whole place.
In reality, there isn't a huge amount that is altered fundamentally in the show. The cases run the usual gamut of dodgy police, dodgy military and dodgy foreign countries (Afghanistan in this case) and the Lyell remains holier than thou in pursuit of the truth. It takes Jack just a couple of episodes to learn the ropes in that respect, opting to call Nikki with a vital update about a suspect rather than the police officer managing the active crime scene. Priorities eh?! Continue reading "TV Review: Silent Witness Series 16"
Series 15 of Silent Witness ends up being a bit of a dud with both Harry and Leo getting close to the end of the road
"This is police business"
As has become increasingly obvious, criticising Silent Witness for not being a show about forensic pathology is a fruitless task, the blurring of the lines between the lab and fieldwork (aka stepping on the toes of police investigations) has long been a significant part of the show but once the deliberate sainted antagonism of Sam Ryan had gone, I felt that the writing had managed to balance it fairly well, finding a sweet spot where it rarely bothered me too much.
Series 15 throws all that in the bin though. There's police interview scenes with a single police officer but both Harry and Leo in there. There's Leo marching into crime scenes without calling the police, chasing suspects through the forest out back and then casually walking right back into the house with nary a piece of PPE on him. I don't mean to take it all so seriously but it is just so frustrating to watch, especially coming from so sanctimonious a character as Leo – I think Janet has eventually dodged a bullet here.

Our group of 12 has just returned home and I wanted to send you a note to thank you for all the work you put in to our trip to make it stress free. We made many changes with our group and itinerary and you were always very accommodating. We have been to Ireland many times usually planning it ourselves. Everyone agreed that this was our best trip ever.
Our driver was top notch, always getting us to our destination in lots of time and always with interesting comments about the courses or the history of Ireland. The staffs at the hotels and courses are very friendly and they always gave us great advice on where we could enjoy the most of the Irish atmosphere.
I will contact you when we are ready to start planning our next trip.
It was a pleasure meeting you. We had a wonderful time golfing after Tralee's trying weather. Tralee is also a beautiful course & we wud hv enjoyed it more if the weather was kinder.
We had better weather in Waterville, Old head & Ballybunion Old & Cashen. All the courses are beautiful & has it's own character but Old Head is so scenic, like in a fairy tale island! The weather in all 4 courses was beautiful in the morning.
We cherished the experience of playing in the Irish ever changing weather conditions through out the 18 holes. The Irish countryside is breathtaking & the people are kind, warm & friendly.
I would like to hear from you on other good golf courses & promotion in Ireland. Look forward to checking out your magazine & website when you post "The Malaysian Group". Tq.
I just wanted you to know that everything went off without, as we say, a hitch. Thanks for all of your assistance.
While so much is affected by the weather, I think we found Old Head the most physically impressive; the Adare Golf Course the most relaxing and beautiful for a walk; and Lahinch the best links golf experience. And as for Doonbeg, while i just missed breaking 80 there on a tough weather day, it seems like Norman was trying to make it hard, and I wonder how many "regular" golfers will enjoy the "walk" there.
But an unforgettable week. We'll definitely come back.
Just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all your help with our journey.
Every aspect of the trip was fantastic, we enjoyed all the accommodations and the golf was world class.
Again, thanks you for setting it all up!
Just a note to let you know that we had a fabulous time playing golf in Ireland last week. The courses had our tee times and clubs lined up exactly as requested, and we were able to hire caddies as well. As an added benefit, the weather was perfect.
Thanks again for your help with this trip. We hope to be able to use your services again.
Our Irish Golf adventure was super and we are safely home in Pittsburgh, PA!! We did try to contact you in Tralee on our way to Ballyb, but you were out of office, hope you got the message! Thought that you might be able to join us @the Grand Hotel for a cup of soup or a Pint or both!! Grand Altogether!!
We experienced all forms of Irish weather, Dooks (high wind), Killarney (rain), Kerry (more rain), but we finished strong with sunshine and blue skies (beautiful days) at Ballybunion and Waterville for the complete Irish Golf experience!!!
Thank you for all of your help, everything went very well and everybody enjoyed the adventure. Sorry we missed you!
We also enjoyed a High Kings concert and Irish football match (Kerry/Tyrone) in Killarney!! OUTSTANDING!!
Thank you so much for helping to organize another wonderful trip to Ireland. Even though it was a busy time to be there you were able to get my husband on the courses he wanted to play. He appreciated that very much.
Our bus driver was a true gentleman and very thoughtful. We had a very good time with him and consider him a friend now. I think we gave him a few laughs and memories also!
As you know I highly recommend Swing Golf and will continue to do so. Thank you so much! I look forward to working with you in the future!
Hi SWING, We just returned from our trip which included our golf & travel experience in Southwest Ireland. I just want to say that the entire intinerary went off perfectly and everything was just lovely.
Your company have done an outstanding job and I couldn't be more satisfied with the arrangements. Please pass my comments along to your staff. I will definitely be recommending SWING to my friends and associates for their golf & travel experience in Southwest Ireland.
We are finally at home again after nearly a month in Ireland. The trip was very pleasant, We look forward to working again with you; probably, Adare, Doonbeg, Tralee, Lahinch, K Club, Royal Co. Down, and two or three others: Portrush and also Hollywood which we visited to see Rory's club and meet a member of two. Jim Curtis, who played with Rory's grandfather and dad gave us a tour.
Let us know if you have suggestions for next year.
Thank you Swing Golf for helping organize another fantastic golf trip to Ireland for the Alotian Club and their members. This is the second time we have taken a golf trip to Ireland and the team at Swing Golf made my job very easy. Their professionalism and attention to detail far exceeded our expectations.
The golf courses are some of the best in the world and the accommodations that Swing Golf provided were truly magnificent. Organizing a group of 25 golfers is a huge task to say the least, Swing went above and beyond when it came to making last minute changes, personal requests and follow up detail after the trip.
I can't begin to tell you how much the group enjoyed the trip and I certainly recommend if anyone is considering a golf trip to Ireland that they use Swing Golf. I priced out several other companies and no one came close to the price and options that Swing Golf provided. All of our members truly appreciate all you guys did to make our trip one that we will remember forever.
I just want to thank you for all that you did for us concerning setting up our Irish golfing vacation. We had a fantastic time!
On Monday, we got to Killarney almost two hours late but we were able to tee off at 3:15 PM–thanks for contacting the course and alerting them that we might be late! The weather for our 6 rounds was extremely good–windy, but mostly sunny. We got a light rain on holes 2, 3, and 4 at Old Head and then the sun came out. That was the only time we got rained on. Each day it seemed as if it were raining all over Ireland except on the course we were playing on.
As far as sighting seeing, we went through Killarney National Park, went around the Ring of Kerry, and visited the Cliffs of Moher. On our last day we had a lot of fun visiting the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin and strolling around the City Centre.
I would like to thank you very much for the very good organisation of our golf trip to Ireland.
We spent some wonderful days. Especially I thank you for the last-minute change of reservation on Old Head. Old Head was a great experience, which I and my son will never forget.
My familiy and I, we are sure to come back soon to Ireland. It is a lovely country.
I am looking forward to working with you next time. Maybe next year!
Back from our trip and it was such a great experience. Swing golf scores another birdie with our group, everything went exactly as you planned it.
The courses you selected were awesome, some difficult and challenging golf, that only made us better. Old Head was unbelievable, it rained and the wind blew but we enjoyed every minute of it. The hotel options were good choices, both had an excellent breakfast buffet each morning. Our driver did a fantastic job, please pass this along to his company, he helped us in every way possible and then some.
SWING Golf was recommended to me by my father in law. Our trip to Ireland marked the 20th anniversary of our annual golf trip with my college buddies and our first overseas. So we've planned a lot of these trips through the years and this was easiest solely because of the people at SWING Golf.
Their planning and advice made the trip. We played great courses, stayed at nice hotels (who were all ready for us when we arrived), and our driver was superb. They did a wonderful job helping us plan the timing and the right amount of travel so we could play more golf on nice days if we wanted to. We never felt rushed and they allowed us to be flexible. Because of their experience I was easily able to plan the entire trip by email.
Our experience couldn't have been better and we can't wait to return to Ireland and use SWING Golf again.

Oregon has 1 million pounds of unsold cannabis, and it reveals the state's marijuana-surplus problem
Abby Tang , Jennifer Lee , and Nisha Stickles
Hollis Johnson/Business Insider
Oregon is sitting on more than 1 million pounds of unsold cannabis, and that number is growing.
This oversupply of cannabis is driving down prices. But because the marijuana cannot be transported over state lines, it has nowhere else to go, possibly jeopardizing the local industry.
The Craft Cannabis Alliance wants to open Oregon's borders to save the industry, but there are several hurdles along the way, including the risk of a federal intervention.
Oregon is producing more weed than it can sell. The cannabis industry has been part of the state's identity, even before it was legalized. Now Oregonians are sitting on more than 1 million pounds of unsold product.
One tub of marijuana costs $20,000 in New York but costs only $7,000 in Oregon. If the marijuana is just as potent in either state, this "weed-surplus" problem brings up the question of whether Oregon has too much weed or not enough people to consume it.
"What we have is a market-access problem, and it's a political problem," Adam Smith, the founder and director of Craft Cannabis Alliance, said.
The issue with calling it a weed-surplus problem is that it implies the solution is simply to produce less cannabis. By producing less cannabis, farmers run the risk of losing their livelihoods.
The state put a halt on new marijuana licenses last year to catch up on thousands of backed-up applications, and it's still catching up.
When Oregon legalized recreational marijuana in 2016, it extended an open invitation to growers from the century-old illegal industry to register for recreational licenses. This low barrier to entry encouraged an increase in production.
But operating above board meant giving up a very lucrative export industry.
Smith said when Oregon legalized marijuana, the primarily export industry became saturated with thousands of growers hemmed into a market of 4 million people.
"It is not efficient to build facilities in states where there's no reason to grow cannabis. You can grow citrus in New York if you want. It's just a bad business decision," Smith said.
As marijuana is still federally illegal, transporting the plant over state lines is a federal crime.
While you can't move product over state lines, you can move your brand. Grown Rogue has 22 licenses in three different states, and it hopes to acquire more. The company has found success with that strategy on a small scale, but not every brand can or wants to follow suit.
Companies, including those from Canada with access to capital markets and eight-figure budgets, can "pick off struggling brands because every brand in the state is struggling, and watch everyone else go out of business," Smith said.
According to Smith, the state of Oregon has "at least a half a billion dollars in local investment that is on the verge of being wiped out. And a lot of that investment is centered in some of the poorest communities in the state."
Smith and the Craft Cannabis Alliance are pushing Oregon to legalize interstate exports and convince other legal states to do the same, despite the risk of a federal crackdown.
Once Oregon can access multiple markets, it is likely that the value of Oregon producers will increase.
The longer it takes, the more mom-and-pop brands that make up Oregon's original cannabis legacy will be sold or lost.
"There will be the memory of something that used to be authentic, and about six companies will be selling Oregon cannabis all over the world," Smith said. "We will look around at this multibillion-dollar export industry that we have here and think, 'Hmm, it's a shame we don't own it anymore.'"

Hemos disfrutado mucho de los dos dias en el apartamento, las vistas increibles y la piscina en la planta 22 se disfruta muchisimo. Ademas esta muy cerca de las torres petronas a las que acediamos caminando.
Can the public use the hotels pool?
Its only for registered guest staying there.
I see there is a shuttle service listed. Does it pick up and deliver to the airport?
A hotel transfer could cost as high as RM150- Rm160 onwards. Both Grab, Uber and airport taxi would be much cheaper. Or you can ride the KLIA Express train. Fast and efficient.
The Somerset does not cater food, but it can be ordered from the restaurant adjacent to the property called "Souled Out". And, yes, they do serve beef.
Not sure, I had a king. Try calling a website booking Reservations, Hotels, etc., they can likely help.

Taco Bell Is Making Nacho Fries Now
By Tony Merevick
Published on 4/26/2017 at 4:30 PM

Along with all the cheap tacos you eat to help soak up the beer you've been drinking, there's a good chance you hit up your local Taco Bell for its equal parts delicious and absurd stunt food creations, like the Triple Double Crunchwrap, the Naked Chicken Chalupa, and the Doritos Quesalupa Crunch. But now, it looks like the "food innovation"-crazed chain is offering a new menu item that's, well, decidedly ordinary: French fries.
They're called Nacho Fries and they're just as simple as they sound: seasoned French fries served with nacho cheese dipping sauce. T-Bell is also serving a loaded version similar to its regular nachos dubbed Nacho Fries Supreme, which come topped with beef, pico de gallo, nacho cheese, and sour cream. A Taco Bell spokesperson said the chain is testing the new fries at locations in West Virginia for $1. However, it looks like people have recently spotted them in California as well, according to a report by The Impulse Buy.
Exciting as the West Virginia test may be, it's worth pointing out that it's not the first time the company has experimented with fries and nacho fries in some markets, including the small test in Irvine, California we told you about last year. They've also appeared in various forms at international T-Bell locations. Although the chain hasn't announced plans to roll fries out nationwide, with any luck, you'll be eating them with a bag full of Chalupas and Smothered Burritos in no time. Get a few packets of Fire Sauce ready.
Tony Merevick is Cities News Editor at Thrillist and wouldn't mind if these rolled out nationally. Send news tips to news@thrillist.com and follow him on Twitter @tonymerevick.

Free!!! Disney's The Jungle Book Activity Sheets for Kids!
04/17/16 | Activities for Kids
All the buzz in my house this weekend has been around the opening of Disney's The Jungle Book in theaters everywhere in 3D, RealD 3D, and IMAX 3D! In honor of its opening, I wanted to share some fun activity sheets from the movie which are sure to keep the kids (and several adults entertained for hours!
Here's a brief synopsis of Disney's The Jungle Book:
Directed by Jon Favreau ("Iron Man"), based on Rudyard Kipling's timeless stories and inspired by Disney's classic animated film, "The Jungle Book" is an all-new live-action epic adventure about Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub who's been raised by a family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan (voice of Idris Elba), who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon the only home he's ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera (voice of Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear Baloo (voice of Bill Murray). Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don't exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (voice of Scarlett Johansson), a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (voice of Christopher Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire. The all-star cast also includes Lupita Nyong'o as the voice of the fiercely protective mother wolf Raksha, and Giancarlo Esposito as the voice of wolf pack's alpha male Akela. "The Jungle Book" seamlessly blends live-action with photorealistic CGI animals and environments, using up-to-the-minute technology and storytelling techniques to immerse audiences in an enchanting and lush world.

With many changes taking place on the new season of the hit show American Idol including Simon Cowell's decision to leave the judging table, Randy Jackson tells OK! that he has been looking at names to replace the infamously honest critic.
Although nothing has been decided yet, Randy reveals to OK! that Simon, "sent me some names the other day," while out celebrating the Grammys on Saturday at Clive Davis' annual soiree alongside Katy Perry, Rihanna, Fergie, Taylor Swift, and American Idol alum Jennifer Hudson.
But the group of judges seem to not be taking the matter so seriously.
"These people aren't alive. He's talking about Winston Churchill. Crazy," Randy explains of Simon's suggestions for his own replacement.
Simon's joking aside, Jamie Foxx has been rumored to possibly be filling the bad cop's shoes, although nothing is official yet.
"I loved the element of the good cop, bad cop and Simon was an amazing bad cop. It's a show. Jamie ain't a bad cop. He can be a great bad cop as an actor, but Simon was a bad cop for real," Busta Rhymes speaks highly of his buddy to reporters while mingling at Jamie's "Blame It" Party on Friday in Beverly Hills.

Even fellow guest Stacey Kiebler thinks Jamie may make a good judge since, "He would be just as equally honest as Simon, but he has got it all and he sings. He would be a fantastic judge I think," as she reveals to OK!.
And with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres preparing to make her first appearance on the show after auditions commence, the whole dynamic is set to change even though Randy says everything has been, "really chill," on set.
This season Ellen, Randy, Simon and Kara Dioguardi will be seated at the judge's table.

Q: Change PHP ini values using provisioning What is the best way to change PHP ini values when provisioning a Homestead box?
E.g. I want to change the value of display_startup_errors to On.
Would you find/replace the value in the php.ini file using sed?
Do I just put the commands in after.sh or is it better to use config.vm.provision "shell"?

A: Do this with sed via after.sh. That's exactly what that script is for. That way you don't have to worry about changing any files that Homestead may overwrite in a future update.

Winterizing The RV
Winterizing the motorhome probably isn't your favorite task, but it must be done. Unless, of course, you are lucky enough to head south before winter arrives, in which case you just pull the water hoses in when the nighttime temperature drops below freezing and put them out again when it warms up the next day. But for those of us stuck in northern climates, winterizing is necessary to protect the RV from freeze damage.

Ban Ki-moon tours western Sahara refugee camp to push for negotiations
By Africanews
with Reuters,
UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon; visited the Sahrawi refugee camp in Algeria, as part of efforts to restart negotiations to end a dispute that has lasted for over three decades between Morocco and the Polisario Front group.

— UK Visa Help (@uk_visahelp) March 5, 2016
Ban, who met Polisario Front leaders including its Secretary General Mohamed Abdelaziz, said he would spare no effort in trying to find a solution to the dispute.
We should be able to provide for the self determination of the people of Western Sahara as the Security Council has been requesting since 2004
Polisario, backed by Algeria and a number of other African states, wants to hold a long-delayed referendum promised in the U.N. ceasefire deal on the region's future.
However, Morocco wants Western Sahara, which is rich in phosphates and possibly offshore oil and gas, to be an autonomous part of Morocco and disagrees with Polisario over who should take part in the referendum.
Ban is in favor of the referendum but admitted that no progress has been made to find a lasting solution.
"The parties to the Western Sahara conflict have not made any real progress in the negotiations towards a just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution. We should be able to provide for the self determination of the people of Western Sahara as the Security Council has been requesting since 2004, " he said.
The UN has been trying to oversee an independence referendum for Western Sahara since 1992 after a ceasefire was reached to end a war that broke out when Morocco sent its forces to the former Spanish territory in 1975.

Q: CoreOS on VirtualBox only works with one adapter at a time I'm trying to learn more about CoreOS. (I'm not using Vagrant, just plain-old VirtualBox.) So I created a disk using coreos-install. Unfortunately, I can't find my original cloud-config.yaml file, but it was something simple like this.
#cloud-config

users:
  - name: core
    passwd: somehash
    groups:
      - sudo
      - docker

After starting the VM, I was able to login with a password. I was also able to ping google.com.
However, the next thing I wanted to do was connect to my CoreOS VM from my OS X host. So, I went into my VM's settings > Network and then enabled Adapter 2 as Host-only Adapter. (I had already configured Host-only Networks because I have an Ubuntu VM that I SSH into.)
Anyway, back in CoreOS, I created a file /etc/systemd/network/10-static.network. It looks like this.
[Match]
Name=enp0s8

[Network]
Address=192.168.56.3/24
Gateway=192.168.56.1

I restarted my VM and I was able to SSH into CoreOS from OS X—except that now I couldn't connect to the internet. ping google.com failed everytime.
So then, I created another file /etc/systemd/network/20-dhcp.network. It looks like this.
[Match]
Name=en*

[Network]
DHCP=yes

I restarted the VM. I can SSH in from the host, but I can't connect out to the internet.
If I disable my VM's Adapter 2, then I can connect to the internet. However, I can no longer SSH in from the host.
Is there a way to setup the networking so that I can SSH into CoreOS from OS X and still connect out to the internet?

A: I used the VM Settings->Network->Adaptor 1->Attached = Bridged Adaptor and VM Settings->Network->Adaptor 1->Name = Wi-Fi options and I was able to both ssh in and access the internet from the CoreOS VM

A: Me too was facing same problem. I gone through docs present at this. If we didn't specify Gateway option then DHCP is used to route the traffic. So I removed the line Gateway=192.168.56.1 from [Network] section of static.network file. And the trick is worked. No need to write dhcp.network file. Just reboot the instance and try to ping google.com, you will get responses.
My final file is something like this-
$ cat /etc/systemd/network/static.network

[Match]
  Name=enp0s8
  [Network]
  Address=192.168.56.102/24
  DNS=8.8.8.8
  DNS=8.8.4.4

Q: How can I revert json String with joda Date Time I have Pojo as
public class Person
{

    private String name;

    @JsonSerialize(using = LocalDateSerializer.class)
    @JsonDeserialize(using = LocalDateDeserializer.class)
    private LocalDate dob;

    public Person()
    {
    }

    public Person(String name, LocalDate dob)
    {
        this.name = name;
        this.dob = dob;
    }

    public String getName()
    {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name)
    {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public LocalDate getDob()
    {
        return dob;
    }

    public void setDob(LocalDate dob)
    {
        this.dob = dob;
    }
}

When I tried to run code like
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{

        Person person = new Person("Bob",new LocalDate(1900,02,22));
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        String json = gson.toJson(person);
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        mapper.registerModule(new JodaModule());
        mapper.disable(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS);

        Person returnPojo = mapper.readValue(json, Person.class);

        System.out.print(returnPojo);
}

I keep get Exception as

Exception in thread "main" com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: Unexpected token (START_OBJECT), expected START_ARRAY: expected JSON Array, String or Number
   at [Source: {"name":"Bob","dob":{"iLocalMillis":-2204496000000,"iChronology":{"iBase":{"iMinDaysInFirstWeek":4}}}}; line: 1, column: 14] (through reference chain: pojo.Person["dob"])

What have I done wrong?

A: You are writing JSON with Gson(which doesn't understand @JsonSerialize). Since the date is not in the right format, Jackson fails to read the date.
Try something like this:
    Person person = new Person("Bob",new LocalDate(1900,02,22));

    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
    mapper.registerModule(new JodaModule());
    mapper.disable(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS);

    String json = mapper.writer().writeValueAsString(person);

    Person returnPojo = mapper.readValue(json, Person.class);

    System.out.print(returnPojo);

Some parents worry that the disruption of moving home may be harmful to young children, but a new study of suggests that this is not necessarily so.
One of the things we ask you when we come to visit is whether your family has moved house since the last time we saw you. Researchers looked at how many of you moved between the time you were born to age five, and the reasons why. They compared your experiences to a group of American children, who were born in 1998-2000 and are being followed by a similar study in the United States.
More than two thirds of the Child of the New Century families owned their homes when their children were born, compared to just over a quarter of those in the US. Private renting was much more common among the American urban families – 42 per cent compared to just 7 per cent in the UK. Twice as many children of the new century (20%) lived in social housing as in the US (10%).
The American families were more likely to move home – and to move more often. Two thirds of the US children had moved at least once before the age of five, and nearly one in five had moved more than three times by that age. Among the Child of the New Century families, 40 per cent moved at least once by the age of five, and only 5 per cent moved more than three times.
The reasons your parents gave for moving were mostly positive, such as a bigger house, better area or better schools. Moving due to problems with landlords or eviction was rare.
When you were age five, we also checked how your vocabulary was developing, and asked your parents about your behaviour. The researchers compared this information to your experiences of moving home. Moving did not appear to be related to children's development once other factors were taken into account.
The researchers note that the housing market was much different when the children of the new century were born than it is today. "The question remains as to whether the current lack of affordable housing and reduced rent subsidies in the UK will increase the number of young families moving for negative reasons," they said.

Tory Lanez has devoted fans that hold him up … literally.
The Canadian rapper went wild during a free show in Los Angeles and, when we say went wild, we mean that he got so hyped that he basically defied gravity.
Lanez walked all over the crowd, using their hands as a floor and started rapping while dangling from the rafters.
When the "Shooters" singer hung upside down, the crowd went bonkers. Last night's show kicked off his official tour so you can expect more craziness to come.
Hey, if Sia can swing from the chandelier, then Tory can hang from the rafters.

When you're trying to watch a movie, nothing ruins the experience more than a so-called "Lip Sync Error". This is where the video slips behind the audio, or vice versa, making it appear that the film has been poorly dubbed into English. This week, Matthew Hughes will explain how to fix audio woes using a common, open-source piece of software that you almost definitely have installed, and one you might not.
I've been ripping some old VHS tapes to my computer so I can to burn them to a DVD.
For the most part, everything works fine, with both the audio and video being of a reasonable quality. But there's one problem: occasionally audio will go out of sync with the video.
So far, nothing I've tried works. I've tried on-line editing, but this is tedious. There's no pattern to the problem. It just appears out of nowhere. How can I fix this? I've been using the AVS Video Recorder software with a Silver Crest USB Video Grabber.
The problem the reader described is incredibly common. It generally indicates that the video file has, in some way, become corrupted. This can happen while you're watching it, editing it, or creating it.
My first bit of advice to the reader would be to see if the same issue occurs when using a different piece of software or hardware. VHS-to-USB How To Convert Your VHS Video Tapes to DVD's using PC How To Convert Your VHS Video Tapes to DVD's using PC Read More adapters can be bought on Amazon for a reasonable price. Alternatively, you could hire someone else to rip your VHS tapes for you.
While it's probably not the case in this example, it's entirely possible for audio to come out of synchronization as a product of the audio-visual hardware being used to consume the content. We'll discuss this later in the article.
The reader mentioned that they'd already tried solving the problem by manually editing the video with an on-line editing program, such as Adobe Premiere or iMovie, but that it was tedious and time consuming. Unfortunately for them, there aren't that many other options. This isn't a problem that can be automated with any degree of accuracy. So, how do you solve a problem like this?
The first approach to this problem will use the gold standard of media apps. Yes, I am talking about Video Lan Client, which is otherwise known as VLC. It was first launched way back in 2001 with the simple aim of allowing people to watch their movies through one app, regardless of the video codec The VLC Media Player - Does it Really Play Everything?

Since then, it has become the Swiss Army Knife of media players, and is now able to even perform rudimentary editing tasks 7 Top Secret Features of the Free VLC Media Player 7 Top Secret Features of the Free VLC Media Player VLC should be your media player of choice.

Read More , as well as streaming content across the network How to Create a Linux VLC Streaming Media Server for Your Home How to Create a Linux VLC Streaming Media Server for Your Home Enjoying music or movies via Netflix or YouTube is great, but what about when the Internet is down? With a VLC media server, you'll never have to go without entertainment again! Read More .
You can use VLC to fix Lip Sync Errors, but I should start by stressing a few caveats. Firstly, unless your audio track is consistently offset throughout the video you're watching, you're going to be fiddling with audio settings the whole time. And believe me, it is bloody fiddly.
Secondly, any tweaks you make to the audio track aren't able to be saved. At least, not gracefully. Don't worry, we'll look at a more permanent solution in the next section. However, if you know exactly how much you need to offset the audio track by, and you only expect to need to do it once or twice throughout the entire clip, you might find it just as easy to use VLC.
Firstly, you're going to need to open a file that's affected. I'm using a slightly busted copy of an episode of The West Wing. This copy has an audio delay of around 500 milliseconds, give or take. Plus, I'm a huge Aaron Sorkin fan. Once your file has opened, you can move the audio track forward by 50 milliseconds by pressing K on your keyboard. To move it back 50 milliseconds, press J. Pressing them multiple times will have a compounding affect. So, if you press K two times, you'll move the audio track forwards by 100 milliseconds. Press it four times to delay it 200 milliseconds. You get the idea.
The decision to use increments of 50 milliseconds is a pretty sound one, as it's hard to tell the difference between an offset of 50 milliseconds and 30 milliseconds, or 50 milliseconds and 70 milliseconds. However, if you feel as though you need more precision, you can change the audio track synchronization by right-clicking the video file and hovering over Tools, Track Synchronization, and changing the value in Audio Track Synchronization to the desired number.
Like I mentioned earlier, this is fine if your audio track is consistently offset by an amount. However, if your file contains multiple, inconsistent offsets, you might want to use something a bit more potent, like Avidemux Cut, Edit, and Convert Your Videos For Free With Avidemux Cut, Edit, and Convert Your Videos For Free With Avidemux When it comes to video editing, most programs currently available are extremely dense and packed with hundreds of options. And why shouldn't they be? Video editing is all about control and that requires a lot... Read More .
Avidemux (a mouthful, I know) is a much more powerful program. Unlike VLC, which is intended for the consumption of content, Avidemux is designed to edit them. It can apply visual effects (called "filters" in Avidemux parlance), and transcode video from one file format to another. It's also capable of non-linear editing.
But don't be intimidated. Although it sounds complicated, sorting out audio synchronization issues with Avidemux is easy.
Once you've downloaded and installed it, copy in the video that you want to edit. We're going to be using the aforementioned episode of The West Wing. Then, get to the part where the audio slips out of sync.
Underneath Audio Output, select the offset value that you need, measured in milliseconds. If you want to move the audio track backwards, this should be a negative number. If you need to bring it forwards, it should be a positive number.
Then, let it play. Once the offset changes, pause the video and change how much you've shifted the audio track. Let it play some more. Repeat, until the audio track is where it's supposed to be.
Then, you're going to need to save it. Before you do, make sure you're using the right output format. If the file you copied in is an AVI file, use the AVI Muxer. If it was an MVK file, use the MVK Muxer. You get the idea.
As I mentioned earlier, I don't believe this is the case with the problem described above. However, it's worth discussing anyway. If you're experiencing Lip Sync problems, and it's not with a video that you've ripped or created, it might be a problem with the hardware you're using to watch it with. I'm not just talking about computer hardware. I'm talking about your television and stereo equipment.
There are a number of reasons why this might happen — more than I can possibly sum up in a footnote to an article. The main one is that some TVs are slow at decoding the digital signals created by your Blu-ray player, cable box, or your game console. Some of the TVs that have been measured by CNET have as much as a 100ms lag between the audio and the video.
One of the easiest ways to solve this is to activate something called "Game Mode". Many modern TVs have this, and it essentially tells TVs to make less of an effort at processing the digital signals that come in. This eliminates the lag, but also reduces the video quality.
CNET also recommends getting a sound bar in order to slightly delay the audio. As they point out, the speakers in the sound bar are probably better than those built-in to your TV, so you'll get better audio as a bonus, anyway.
Sadly, there isn't a single app or website I can recommend that'll fix your files for you. It's just something that you'll have to do yourself. Thankfully, Avidemux is easy enough to use, and free of charge to download.
