The Untold Story of Walpurga Hausmannin: An Infamous German Witch
The legend of Walpurga Hausmannin is one of the scariest witch stories in the world. It is told as a tale of one of the most horrible killers in German history. However, the story seems to be half-truth and half legend. It also holds an unsolved mystery related to one of the darkest human practices.
Her exact birth date is unknown, but she was born between 1510 and 1527. For most of her life, she wasn't a particularly well-known person, but in the 16th century witch hunts she became a victim of terrible tortures and a trial which ended before it had even started.

Killer Witch or Unstable Woman?
Walpurga worked as a maid for many years. She seems to have been a respected and valued worker - there are no stories about bad behavior until later in her life. Who could have imagined that she would be accused of witchcraft, vampirism, and murdering children?
The accusations took place in 1587, when she was an older woman. It is known that when Walpurga was accused, she was already a widow. There is no information about her having children. She lived in poverty, and perhaps hoped to die of old age, but instead she died in one of the most famous witch trails in German history.

It is said that Walpurga's confession was not typical or similar to others. She said a lot - much more than she was expected to. She was tortured and began to speak. This was probably in an attempt to end her suffering. She was aware that there was no other option because the intensification of the tortures showed her that she would not survive her trial. Therefore, she started to explain things the best she could.

First of all, she claimed that just after she was widowed in 1556 she had sex with a demon named Federlin. When he returned the next night he promised to save her from poverty, but she had to do some things for him. The first thing she had to do was swear and contract herself to Satan. When she agreed, Federlin apparently took her to Lucifer, who was described by Walpurga as a tall man with a long grey beard. She said that he reminded her of a great prince due to his rich jewelry and behavior. When he confirmed her contract, he invited her to drink wine, eat roasted babies, and have sex. She said that she also joined the ritual of despoiling the Blessed Sacrament, which she had stolen from the church.

According to Walpurga, the demon gave her an ointment which she used to murder people and animals. She claimed that he visited her regularly to have sex, even while she was in prison. With his guidance, she decided to murder 40 children before they were baptized, and then sucked their blood. She explained that she used their bones and hair for sorcery and had eaten the bodies of the children she killed.
She was sentenced to death as a result of these confessions. Walter Stephens wrote about her execution in his book:
"On 20 September 1587, Walpurga Hausmannin, a licensed midwife practicing at Dillinged in the diocese of Augsburg in southern Germany, was burned at the stake as a witch. Walpurga confessed to a long list of maleficia, as deeds of harmful magic were called. Most of these were related to her profession as a midwife; in twelve years she had supposedly killed forty-one infants and two mothers in labor. But she also confessed to attacking other people: Georg Klinger's small son, the wives of the governor and town scribe, Hans Striegel's cloistered daughter, and Michel Klingler. Of these five people, three were not expected to live, according to the contemporary account of Walpurga's trial. Nor was her maleficence limited to people, it was claimed: she was blamed for the death of nine cows (although "she confesses that she destroyed a number of cattle over and above this"), a horse, and an unspecified number of pigs and geese. And she attacked crops, causing hailstorms "once or twice a year"."
Walpurga's right hand was cut off before she was burned on the stake. On her way to her death, she was further mutilated and tortured in public.

Who Was Walpurga?
It is difficult to discover who Walpurga really was, but the evidence against her is not very convincing today. In fact, her own words were the strongest pieces of evidence in her conviction. However, she confessed all of her crimes under torture. Was she mentally ill? A victim of anti-witch propaganda? Or was she really a serial killer?
The last option on this list actually seems to be the most unlikely. When Walpurga was in prison, she was tortured without mercy. As was common during witch trials in that part of the world, the accused woman was tortured until she admitted that she was a witch. Scholars say that the story of Walpurga is "sadly typical of witchcraft trials." It was common to accuse an old woman who had her own way of living - which was not always understood by younger generations. They were often attacked and nobody protected them.

Walpurga's ashes were scattered in the river - she didn't receive the privilege of being buried. Like many other women who were judged and executed due to the suspicions of a blindly religious society, she died without the right to have a real trial; one which could have used facts, not superstitions, to decide her fate.

The excerpt says "Walpurga confessed to a long list of maleficia, as deeds of harmful magic were called. Most of these were related to her profession as a midwife; in twelve years she had supposedly killed forty-one infants and two mothers in labor." Infant mortality rate in the old world was about 30%-50% so her 41 infants are probably all due to natural causes/illnesses of the time. That being said, I'm sure the local people knew the infants she was talking about. Who wouldnt know that their neighbor had 10 kids but only 4 survived? or that another neighbor had 6 kids but only 3 survived? Or that you lost a number of your own children?

So she maintained she killed more than 40 children – did she identify them by name and where they lived? Were any of these claims actually verified? Were any of the children who had been murdered by her, according to her confessions, even reported missing?
I bet at the time, no one even cared enough to verify what she said. As long as they had something to burn, did they even need to? Anyone would confess anything under torture – anything, just as long as they could stop the pain. Believing otherwise is pure stupidity.

If Democrats win 2020 election, markets could see 'significant correction,' Goldman says
FAN Editor 1 month ago
UBS Financial Services private wealth adviser Alli McCartney talks about the ramifications of the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady.
If Democrats sweep the 2020 election, it could have serious consequences for the stock market, according to a Goldman Sachs analyst.
S&P 500 earnings might drop by about 12 percent in 2021 if Democrats secure control of the White House and both chambers of Congress, Timothy Moe, co-head of macro research in Asia at Goldman Sachs, told CNBC.
That's because a Democrat-controlled government would be almost guaranteed to repeal President Trump's biggest legislative achievement, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which dropped the top corporate tax rate to 21 percent from 35 percent and temporarily lowered individual rates.
"That, in turn, could lead to a significant correction in the U.S. markets," Moe said.
BLOOMBERG'S BILLIONS FUEL 2020 HIRING FRENZY
Goldman did not respond to a request for comment from FOX Business.
Top Democratic presidential candidates have proposed ambitious, multi-billion dollar policies to expand social programs and reshape the country's economy, funded in part by repealing Republicans' tax overhaul — and raising levies on Wall Street and the ultra-wealthy.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, the frontrunner, has called for a slightly higher corporate tax rate of 28 percent, while South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg has suggested the rate should once again be 35 percent.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren would also restore the 35 percent tax rate, but she'd impose a 7 percent profits surcharge on corporations that earn more than $100 million on top of that. Under Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, the corporate tax rate would be 35 percent, and he has vowed to levy taxes on companies with huge pay disparities between CEOs and their employees.
In a note to clients at the end of November, Goldman analysts wrote that the most likely outcome of the election next November is victories for both Democrats and Republicans — a boon to investors.
"Equity returns under a divided government have typically exceeded returns achieved when one political party controls Washington, D.C.," the note said.

Dungeon Maker: Cheats, Tips, And Overall Rating – ReadyGamer
Dungeon creation has long been an enjoyed activity among lovers of role playing games. These creative individuals have many methods of creating their dungeons. Whether the tool of choice is a collection of Dungeons and Dragons manuals, RPG Maker for Playstation or PC, the popular classic game Dungeon Keeper, or the mobile application known as Dungeon Maker. Complex dungeon and map creation tools like Dungeons and Dragons or RPG Maker even provide toolkits for developing enemies, bosses, traps, and more. In this article, we'll be looking at a dungeon creation kit that's more simplistic than Dungeons and Dragons or RPG Maker. We'll focus on the concepts and variations of Dungeon Maker, a mobile application for Android. Toward the end of the article, we'll dive into mechanics of the Dungeon Maker and provide gameplay advice for one of the most popular dungeon creation games available.What Is Dungeon Maker?A History Of Dungeon CreationDungeon Maker follows in the footsteps of classic dungeon creation games. Dungeon creation traces its origins back long before the era of computer gaming—all the way back to pen and paper role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. Game Masters, Dungeon Masters, or Dungeon Crafters (titles would change depending on which game toolkit was being used for the dungeon creation) would spend hours, days, and even weeks crafting the perfect dungeons for their adventurers. Within dungeons, these creators would need to place rooms, traps, and enemies. Unique surprises would be hidden around every corner. Powerful, legendary boss enemies would await players at the end of each dungeon. These locations offered a vast collection of challenges, puzzles, and opportunities to use unique abilities that each participant has gained. One of the greatest aspects of being a dungeon/game master who works with a consistent team is that these dungeons can be crafted in a way that highlights each individual character, giving players an opportunity to shine. Some dungeon creation kits permitted the creation of dungeons using cards and tiles. Particularly, dungeon creation is easier than ever using this method. 3D Printing, purchasable tiles, and art creation programs have made a Dungeon or Game Master's job easier than it has ever been. Now, creators of dungeons can allow visualization of their creations. This can be further enhanced with miniatures, which are small figurines that can represent specific enemies, items, or even player characters.How Dungeon Maker WorksDungeon Maker functions similarly to classic dungeon creation tools. The primary difference between Dungeon Maker and typical dungeon creation toolkits is that Dungeon Maker features actual goals and gameplay rather than being a way to create a game for others to play. With Dungeon Maker, the player (which, in this case, is the individual who is crafting the perfect dungeon within the application) is trying to protect his or her territory for an invasion of do-gooders and heroes. Much like other dungeon creation toolkits, the player can challenge the invading heroes with difficult rooms, traps, and enemies. You'll gradually build up your dungeon so that the incoming hero characters will be required to face greater challenges. In this manner, the game works in a manner similar to a tower defense title, but with dungeon creation elements. An individual playing Dungeon Maker is given cards to administer. These cards will feature facilities, battles, traps, and other aspects common to dungeons. You'll then customize the card itself with particular enemies and traps you believe will offer the greatest advantage to you—and the greatest challenge to the invading party of heroic characters seeking to destroy you. Your dungeon will gradually become more complex, intense, and expensive, but the heroes will also become more formidable and daring.Games Similar To Dungeon MakerDungeon KeeperIn the year 1997, Bullfrog Production released a game called Dungeon Keeper. This dungeon creation game worked as a tower defense and dungeon generation game, much like Dungeon Maker. Rather than using cards for tiles, however, it used actual blocks that the player could customize.The game is primarily remembered for its wit and clever dialogue. A narrator would constantly taunt the player, mocks its dungeon and units, and give helpful advice under the guise of being uncaring and disinterested. Dungeon Keeper was well-written and lives on in the next game in this list: War for the Overworld.War For The OverworldWithout an up-to-date Dungeon Keeper available, there was a void in the world of gaming which needed to be filled. This void was filled by War for the Overworld. Developed by Brightrock Games, War for the Overworld was the end result of a highly successful Kickstarter project. It raised nearly three hundred thousand dollars, which was nearly twice its original goal. The developers remained true to their promises and created a perfect spiritual successor to the aforementioned Dungeon Keeper. War for the Overworld keeps the sarcasm, wit, and wild fun that is seen in Dungeon Keeper while still updating it so it can compete with games in this day and age. As with Dungeon Maker, the player of the game will put together a collection of different rooms, hire enemies, and lay down traps. Your goals range from competing with creators of other dungeons to trying to thwart the plans of ambitious heroes. War for the Overworld also adds many other features thanks to the significant success of its Kickstarter campaign.RPG MakerRPG Maker is a classic role-playing game creation tool that doesn't feature goals for the player to reach… beyond the goals that the player sets for him or herself. RPG Maker is actually a complete game creation tool that players can use to craft player classes, side quests, player and non-player characters, over worlds, and—of course—dungeons. RPG Maker has been around for decades. With more advanced versions of RPG Maker, such as RPG Maker MV or VX Ace, players can expand the game with their own images, audio assets, and scripts. Unlike the mobile game Dungeon Maker, the goals in the game are all set by the player who is creating it. RPG Maker's sleek capabilities for generating worlds make it an excellent creation tool for individuals … Continue reading Dungeon Maker: Cheats, Tips, And Overall Rating

What is it with this administration and dressing poorly?
You've seen Donald Trump's egregiously long, taped-together ties. You've seen Steve Bannon's need to wear half the contents of his closet all at once. So now let us turn our gaze to yet another sartorial sin being committed by this controversial administration: Sean Spicer's ties.
For some inexplicable reason, the White House press secretary prefers ties for which "electric" is the main color descriptor. And the material? It's so thick and stiff that it looks like it requires a hydraulic press to tie it.
As a general rule, bright blue with fire engine red, silver, and baby blue stripes is a palette that should be avoided by anyone not in a profession that requires a degree from clown college. Honestly, apart from maybe NASCAR, I can't imagine any setting in which this color pattern is a good idea.
Now, as you might know, Spicer has taken a lot of heat for his ill-fitting suits, but that's something he's been trying to rectify. According to a recent story on Pix 11, Spicer visited a D.C. franchise of NYC-based custom clothing company BookATailor to get some properly fitting suits (which, somewhat hilariously considering Trump's made-in-the-USA thumping, were made in Thailand).
And it did seem to help. In recent press briefings Spicer has looked less like a 13-year-old kid in his big brother's hand-me-downs.
But something has to be done about these ties. What is it with the Trump White House and ties? Guys, these are not "power ties," in case that's what you're thinking. They're cries for help. Obviously there are far more serious things to worry about than style with this administration, but if the devil is in the details—and these guys can't comprehend a detail as simple as a tie—then it's terrifying to think what they must be missing with something as complicated as, oh, say, health care.
Oh, that's right: pretty much everything.


One egg looks like the other from the outside, so how to be sure which one is fresh and which one should be put in the bin so that you won't get salmonella poisoning, a disease you shouldn't take lightly, it may give you diarrhoea or constipation, headaches, stomach cramps, nausea, fever and/or blood in the faeces.
If possible you should buy your eggs at a farmer's market where you know that the farmer has taken them out of the hens' nests in the morning before coming to the market. If that isn't possible, buy eggs on which the date of delivery is stamped. Fresh eggs can be kept for up to eighteen days at room temperature because they still have their own antibodies against germs, after this period they should be put in the fridge. A desert like the Italian speciality Tiramisu for which you use raw eggs shouldn't be prepared with eggs older than eighteen days. The dish should be put in the fridge at once and only for up to 24 hours.
Of course, fresh eggs can also be put directly in the fridge, if you do this, they can be considered edible for up to 28 days. After this period eggs should never be used raw, only boiled or fried or as an ingredient in a cake, this can be done for another two weeks.
People with low immunity and small children should never eat raw eggs, fresh or not.
If you aren't sure how old an egg is, you can test it in a glass of water into which you've put a teaspoon full of salt. The older the egg, the bigger the air chamber in it as water evaporates through the shell with time.
– Fresh eggs sink to the bottom and stay there.
– An egg which is some days old raises its tip slightly.
– A two- to three-week-old egg floats vertically in the glass, it should be eaten at once.
– An egg that swims freely in the glass the tip pointing to the bottom is about two months old, it should be thrown away.
Another method is to break the egg, pour the content on a plate and look at it intently. With a fresh egg the yolk and the egg white are noticeably convex. With age the yolk becomes flatter, the egg white spreads all over the plate and later both yolk and egg white mix, a sure sign that the egg isn't edible any more.
Rotten eggs don't necessarily have to end in the bin, maybe there's a manifestation in your town organised by your political opponents. Go and express your opinion in a fresh way! The rotten eggs may be a change from the habitual tomatoes.


In October 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto launched bitcoin with a white paper, creating and deploying bitcoin's original implementation. As part of the implementation, the first blockchain database was devised. Despite being released almost a decade ago, however, blockchain technology has only entered the public consciousness in the last few years.
With that heightened awareness has come an increased dialogue about blockchain's applications, not to mention financial potential. This was perhaps best demonstrated by Long Island Iced Tea, which changed its name to the Long Blockchain Corporation, announced it was going to start mining bitcoin, and saw its shares more than quadruple in a single day.
Hysteria aside, companies are exploring how best to leverage blockchain. For example, brands are exploring whether blockchain can help solve some serious challenges with transparency in marketing and advertising. This is especially pertinent as GDPR and privacy concerns make data security even more important to consumers.
Numerous brands are seeing what blockchain can do – here are four prime examples.
The new campaign, called 'Unlock More Miles,' ties in with a promotion in Hong Kong where Asia Miles members see miles earned credited to their accounts the following day. The blockchain platform automates data fulfillment procedures, enabling a transparent transaction history between the airline and participating dining partners by sharing the data set. This improves business efficiency by minimizing back-office administration.
Cathay Pacific is just one of a number of airlines exploring applications of blockchain technology. Air Asia has announced that it will migrate its rewards program to a new cryptocurrency called "BigCoin." The firm may also hold an initial coin offering (ICO) to fund the development of a new financial services division.
Ad agency Havas is making significant moves in the blockchain market. In March the company announced the launch of Havas Blockchain, an integrated communications offering designed to support blockchain tech businesses and entrepreneurs.
Meanwhile, as part of the wider Havas Blockchain initiative, Havas Sports & Entertainment has launched a blockchain-powered loyalty program for sports organizations and sponsors that rewards fans for their engagement. Fans participating in the programs can be awarded digital coins for being a "Key Opinion Leader" and trade them with other fans, swap them across different loyalty programs, or turn them into consumer goods, exclusive content, or other experiences.
This solution could create new marketing opportunities and revenue streams for sports organizations. The virtual currency can also collect data on fans, which advertisers may use for better targeting or "fanalytics".
And as a display of further blockchain ambition, Havas collaborated with TD Ameritrade to create the first ad placement on the bitcoin blockchain.
In March 2017, IBM launched its Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) solution and has long been involved in a range of trials in several different industries. The 107-year-old company has already collaborated with Danish shipping giant Maersk on global supply chain inefficiencies and retail colossus Walmart on food supply issues. Now Big Blue has turned its attention to programmatic advertising.
From data gathered from industry sources, eMarketer recently reported that, in 2017, around 55 percent of client budgets allocated for programmatic ad spend went toward paying the ad tech supply chain, one that is crowded with a large number of players, many that add very little value to transactions. This may explain why the 500 largest publishers in the U.S. cut their supply-side platforms (SSPs) by 20 percent in 2017.
And when one considers that digital ad fraud could hit $19bn in 2018, it's clear that programmatic advertising faces a number of challenges. In separate collaborations with Salon Media and Unilever, IBM is harnessing the power of blockchain to bring greater trust to digital advertising by clamping down on ad fraud. Using a product created by AdLedger, IBM and Salon are looking to iron out weak link intermediaries between advertisers, publishers and consumers in an effort to combat growing problems like bot fraud and domain spoofing.
Meanwhile, Unilever is working with IBM Blockchain and IBM iX, IBM's business consultancy arm, on a blockchain solution for media buying that aims to improve efficiency and transparency across the digital media supply chain and ad trading processes. Speaking at the IAB's Annual Leadership Meeting in February, Unilever CMCO — and 2017's most influential CMO — Keith Weed elaborated on the partnership: "This is really going to bring transparency into the media world. We've done a pilot, we've looked at some historical data, and we can see where some discrepancies are." The two companies' blockchain pilot detected the aforementioned discrepancies almost immediately, as opposed to having to wait out the entire campaign.
IBM is just one of many technology giants betting big on blockchain.
NYIAX provides an electronic marketplace for publishers, advertisers, and media buyers to buy and sell future advertising inventory. Participants on the exchange forward-like contracts, or agreements to buy and sell an asset at a specified price and a set future date. The goal is to offer a more efficient and transparent way for players in the ads market to buy and sell inventory.
More recently, NYIAX rolled out a series of partnerships as part of its preparations for a full launch. First, it announced a partnership with Colorado-based startup Rebel AI. Rebel uses the cryptographic capability of blockchain's wallet component to verify that inventory that claims to be on, say, The New York Times website, is in fact on that site. Additionally, Rebel AI uses cryptographic signatures to verify that the ad was delivered to a given page.
Although It's still early days in blockchain's development, the transformative potential is clear. Blockchain could be adopted for a host of other uses, including enabling refugees to own their digital identity, voting, and even orchestrating a universal basic income, not to mention a plethora of applications in industries such as automotive and healthcare.
The world is still some way from a 'blockchain transformation'. However, if the predicted growth of the global blockchain market is anything to go by, then it's not a question of if, but when.

Italian Avant-garde post black metal band Párodos released a single Space Omega from their upcoming album Catharsis which is released October 27th 2017 via Inverse Records.
Catharsis was recorded, mixed and mastered by Marco Mastrobuono (Hour of Penance), at Kick Recording Studio ( FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, Shores Of Null, Hour Of Penance). Mastrobuono also plays fretless bass in "Space Omega", "Black Cross" and "Evocazione". Francesco Ferrini from FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE has fully arranged and composed the track 'Stasima'. Also Massimiliano Pagliuso from Novembre plays an impressive guitar solo in "Black Cross".
The band's name, "Párodos", comes from classics, especially from Greek tragedy where the term "parodo" stands for both a side-entrance, and the first song sung by the chorus after its entrance from the side wings (parodoi). The concept behind the band's music is to introduce the listener into a journey through human tragedy, where everyone is an actor yet a spectator, and to guide one through a purification process that leads to Catharsis, which is the title of the album.


by Ann Colford & r & & r & & lt;span class= "dropcap " & I & lt;/span & heard the story within the first 24 hours of my initial visit to Spokane. "Bing Crosby grew up here, you know... Yeah, he lived over by Gonzaga. They've got a building on campus named for him, and a statue. Wanna go see it?"
It's a point of pride around here -- after all, Bing Crosby is the most famous person ever to come from Spokane. At one time, you could argue, he was the most famous entertainer on the planet.
While technically not a native son -- he was born in Tacoma in 1903 and moved to Spokane with his family three years later -- Bing Crosby spent his formative years here in the city by the falls. As a child, he came to a wild Western boomtown; less than 20 years later, he followed his dreams to Hollywood, leaving behind a city that had already seen the peak of its Gilded Age. As Bing Crosby's star rose, his hometown lost some of its luster, becoming a place that ambitious young people strive to leave rather than the magnet that it had been just a few years before.
Eight decades later, as the city seems on the verge of a resurgence, teetering toward the future in a kind of two-steps-forward-one-step-back dance, Bing is coming back home again. On Friday, Crosby's widow, Kathryn, brings her stage show to town to help rededicate the theater where Bing got his start in show business back in 1925. Originally known as the Clemmer Theater -- and later the State Theater -- it's been the Metropolitan Performing Arts Center since 1988, named for the corporate benefactor that restored it to its original glory. Come Friday, the name will change again; the 750-seat theater will officially become the Bing Crosby Theater.
"I think he would've been so happy to know the Clemmer will be the Bing Crosby Theater," says Kathryn Crosby about her famous husband. "For a small town, Spokane had some great opportunities."
& lt;span class= "dropcap " & O & lt;/span & ne of the biggest opportunities for the young Bing took place in 1925 at the Clemmer, on the very stage where Kathryn will perform Friday. Ten years earlier, mining magnate August Paulsen had funded the building of a state-of-the-art theater for moving pictures, the rising form of art and entertainment. Located across Lincoln Street from the glorious new Davenport Hotel and designed by architect E.W. Houghton, the theater was operated by former dentist Howard Clemmer, whose brother James was considered Seattle's "dean of moving picture managers." Spokanites flocked to the Clemmer to watch silent movies accompanied by the grand Kimball organ.
By the mid-'20s, the big Hollywood studios were scooping up theaters all across the country, and the Clemmer was no exception. Universal Pictures bought the theater in March 1925 and hired a new manager, Roy Boomer. He decided to hire some local entertainers to perform before the showing of each film, as was popular in his previous home of San Francisco. Two local kids, Al Rinker and Bing Crosby, whose band the Musicaladers had just disbanded, ended up with the job. Without their band, the two had to come up with an act that would hold the audience's attention for 20 minutes before the movie began. Al played piano in the pit, so it was up to Bing to relate to and entertain the crowds.
The pair honed their skills for five months on the stage of the Clemmer before Boomer decided to do away with the stage show. Unemployed but newly confident in their abilities, Al and Bing climbed into an old Tin Lizzy on October 15, 1925, and drove away from Spokane on their way to Los Angeles. A month after arriving, they had work in L.A.; within a year they joined the Paul Whiteman orchestra and toured all over the country.
Jazz critic and Crosby biographer Gary Giddins thinks the gig at the Clemmer in Spokane was seminal to Bing's development as a performing artist.
"It forced him to stand on a stage and account for himself, especially when Rinker took the piano and basically became Bing's accompanist," says Giddins. "Bing became a soloist who had to stand on a stage and engage the audience. The whole experience there is the beginning of his and Rinker's ability to take a stage and work out an act."
The marvelous acoustics of the Clemmer aided Bing's ability to connect with the audience, Giddins says. In the days before microphones and electronic amplification, most singers -- including Bing, at other venues -- either "belted" a song like Bing's idol Al Jolson or used a megaphone. At the Clemmer, with its domed ceiling and intimately enfolding hall, such a prop was unnecessary. Bing could make eye contact with the audience, and his conversational, easy-going vocal style -- later dubbed crooning -- helped him form a more personal connection.
"It was the first time he could hear himself," Giddins says. "He didn't have to sing over a band, or over dancers who weren't really paying attention, like at the Lareida [Dance Hall]."
With the advent of the carbon microphone just a year later, Bing found the perfect instrument for his natural singing style -- a style that would lead him into recording, radio, films, television and the heart of American popular culture. At the height of his career in the 1940s, he was the most recognizable and admired American public figure according to polls done at the time. He sold more records than Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley or the Beatles.
Part of what made Bing a beloved entertainer was his everyman attitude and his easy, laid-back manner -- qualities that grew out of his upbringing in Spokane as the child of a large working-class family.
"I think that's a decisive influence, as it would be with anyone," says Giddins. "Partly it's the home he came from, with the extremely overbearing humorless Irish-Catholic mother who didn't suffer laziness, especially in Bing."
Although Bing could be cool and private, he was not intolerant, Giddins points out. "He didn't tread on others. He was ahead of his time in civil rights -- he always insisted on working with black performers. He always stood up for his friends. And he had a tremendous sense of self and confidence and discipline. But Spokane -- the amazing thing is that Bing grew up with this live-and-let-live attitude. And he got it there."
Kathryn sees Spokane's influence in her husband's personality as well. "He was very basic and honest and neighborly," she says. "Bing talked a lot about the Shoulderer sisters, who would take him in after school. The neighborhood there helped rear the children. Bing used to say, 'Hard country makes good people,' when he'd talk about the people in Spokane. Spokane is beautiful, but it's not always Shangri-La: It's cold and hot, and people there had to work hard."
& lt;span class= "dropcap " & T & lt;/span & here's a time-worn sentiment that no prophet or visionary is accepted in his hometown -- the Jesuits at Gonzaga will tell you that's been part of human nature since long before Mary and Joseph's kid started preaching in the streets of Nazareth. People here love to claim Bing for Spokane, but it's often with an undercurrent of cynicism. He never came back, people say; he went off and became a big star and let his hometown wallow in its long economic isolation.
But Giddins disputes that characterization. He writes in his biography of Crosby's early years: "When it came to money, he devised intricate ways to be charitable without the appearance of actually giving money. These ranged from schemes to allow Gonzaga to participate in a TV show to arranging bit work to making secret bequests."
And he frequently visited Spokane, even though he never came back here to live. Bing returned to Spokane every year throughout their marriage, Kathryn Crosby recalls.
"You know, two weeks after we were married [in 1957], we came to Spokane," she says. "That was our first official appearance as a married couple. We came to Spokane, to Gonzaga, and they dedicated the opening of the Crosby Library, which Bing and [childhood friend and Gonzaga president] Father Corkery had worked so hard for."
Initially, Bing had wanted to get married at St. Aloysius church on the Gonzaga campus, she says. As his childhood parish and the place where he went to Mass daily as a student at Gonzaga High School (now Gonzaga Prep), it would have been fitting. But Bing and his friend Fr. Corkery thought the campus would be overrun by photographers and reporters once news got out. "Bing thought it should be a sacred occasion, something private," says Kathryn. "So we called it off."
In later years, Bing would return to the Inland Northwest to go hunting and fishing. "He loved the outdoors," says Kathryn. "Since childhood, he loved Hayden Lake, Idaho. He always loved fishing, and he always loved walking -- that's what I loved, too, but I could barely keep up!" He enjoyed pheasant hunting near Weiser, Idaho, she says, and planned an Alaskan salmon fishing journey each year that would depart from Spokane.
As an outsider who's spent time in Spokane and studied the connection between Bing and his hometown, Gary Giddins thinks the Clemmer-State-Met-Bing Crosby Theater is a gem that Spokane should be trumpeting and promoting to the rest of the world.
"The theater should be a major destination for tourists in the Northwest," he says. "It's like stepping into a time capsule from the '20s. I know I got chills the first time I walked in there." Many other historic theaters of similar vintage across the country have been torn down or recklessly remodeled, he adds, crediting Paul Sandifur, Jr. and Metropolitan Mortgage with a careful and respectful restoration 20 years ago. "They did it with such care. The theater is something that Spokane should be proud of."
A Wing-Ding For Bing is Friday, Dec. 8, at The Bing, 901 W. Sprague Ave. All day Friday, you can view memorabilia from Gonzaga's Crosby Collection, including Bing's Oscar for Going My Way and his platinum record for "White Christmas." At noon, three Bing Crosby films will be screened, starting with Going My Way, then The Road To Morocco (2:30 pm) ending with White Christmas (4 pm). At 6:30 pm, The Big Bing Theory vocal group from Gonzaga and Randy Wagner, baritone and choral director at EWU, will perform. At 7 pm, the Bing Crosby Theater will be formally dedicated. Finally, at 8 pm it's the musical revue "My Life With Bing," with Kathryn Crosby. Tickets for "My LIfe With Bing" are $25-$100; proceeds will help pay for the new marquee and endow a planned Bing Crosby Foundation. All other events are free. Call 325-SEAT.

Chidambaram Subramaniam is synonymous with the development of wheat production in India. With this biography, explore Chidambaram Subramaniam's profile, childhood, and life.
Home : Famous Indians : Leaders : Chidambaram Subramaniam
Chidambaram Subramaniam
Born On: January 30, 1910
Born In: Senguttaipalayam, Tamil Nadu
Died On: November 7, 2000
Career: Freedom Fighter, Political Leader
Ministers are elected to the cabinets. They come, serve the term, and are elected again for yet another cabinet. Very few are able to justify their positions by contributing to the concerned ministry that they are appointed for. One such honorable and commendable minister was Chidambaram Subramaniam who, as a food minister, transformed the nation into a self-productive factory of wheat. Popularly known as the political architect of the "green revolution" in India, Subramaniam utilized his formidable skills in spreading the use of a new variety of wheat to millions of farmers, making India capable of harvesting wheat on homeland rather than importing. Besides, he was successful in supporting a new program for selling hybrid seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides at heavy subsidized rates. With this, Subramaniam gave India what it had been dreaming since long - green revolution.
Chidambaram Subramaniam was born to Chidambara Goudner and his wife in a village named Senguttaipalayam near Coimbatore district, in the present state of Tamil Nadu. After completing his early education in Pollachi, he went to Chennai to take admission in Presidency College to pursue a bachelor's degree in physics. Thereafter, he studied law at Law College in Chennai.
In 1952, Subramaniam began his political career, after being trained in the basics of politics and administration under Rajaji. He started off as a Minister of Education, Law and Finance in Madras State from 1952 to 1962. With this, he served as the leader in Madras Legislative Assembly for 10 years. He was, then, elected in Lok Sabha in 1962 and appointed as Minister for Steel and Mines. Eventually, he was given diverse portfolios to handle, like Agriculture in 1965, followed by finance and defense later on. With the Congress Party undergoing the split crisis in 1969, Subramaniam chose to side Indira Gandhi and hence, became the interim president of the party headed by her. He supported her during the Emergency period and served as the Finance Minister in the central government.
However, he chose to part ways with her post-Emergency and joined Congress (Urs) Party, headed by Devraj Urs. He was also designated as the Deputy Chairperson of the Planning Commission of India during 1971-72. In 1990, he became the Governor of Maharashtra and conducted frequent meetings with leading academics, industrialists, representatives of non-governmental organizations, and prominent citizens on critical issues of the society, thereby transforming the Raj Bhavan into a common activity zone. But to his dismay, he was forced to resign after newspaper reporter overheard and reported that he criticized the working style of the then Prime Minister of India, P.V. Narasimha Rao.
Contributions to India
Prior to joining full-fledged politics, Subramaniam plunged into the freedom struggle strongly and was even imprisoned for his active participation. Later on, he was elected to the Constituent Assembly and was also involved in structuring the Constitution of India. Amongst all his achievements and contributions, his best accomplishment has been the development of India's agricultural policy. After convincing the then Prime Minister of India, Lal Bahadur Shastri, and implementing the program, India was able to deliver a record production of wheat in 1972. This proved to be a major accomplishment of the Indian Green Revolution.
He was further involved in introducing high-yielding varieties of seeds and more intensive application of fertilizers which gave way for increasing the output of cereals in the late 1960s. He founded the National Agro Foundation at Chennai and Bharathidasan Institute of Management at Tiruchirappalli. Amongst all the proteges that Subramaniam produced, the most prominent include M.S. Swaminathan, former Agriculture Secretary B. Sivaraman, and Verghese Kurien. In 1998, he was conferred upon with the highest civilian award in India, Bharat Ratna.
Chidambaram Subramaniam died on November 7, 2000 in Chennai, thereby ending the golden era of green revolution with him. He was 90.

Film Review: 'Short Term 12'!!
Destin Daniel Cretton's film 'Short Term 12' is in my Top 5 films of the year. This candid look at life in a big group foster home for trouble kids is natural, endearing, and brutal all at the same time. I was completely moved and fell in love with each character in its 96 minute run-time, and didn't want to leave them when the credits started to roll. This film is more of an ensemble drama with Brie Larson and John Gallagher Jr. taking the more meaty roles. This captivating film will pull at the heart strings, but won't leave you depressed like so many of these similar films have done before. I cannot wait to see this again and again.
Grace (Larson) plays one of several adults who work at a sort of compound for troubled kids – or group home. These kids are supposed to be placed here temporarily, but often get overlooked by the system and end up staying long term. The goal is to get these kids to a good family who loves them. One of the other counselors is Mason (Gallagher), who is an amazing and funny laid back guy and is secretly dating Larson. Mason is the kind of guy you want to be life long friends with.
The counselors are told strictly to create a safe environment and make sure none of the kids are hurting themselves or others. They are not to act as therapists, friends, or doctors. However, we see Grace and her fellow colleagues going above and beyond to make these kids feel genuinely loved, because in fact, they do love each of them. And we see that these kids feel more comfortable with Grace and Mason as they let them in on some of their horrible past that they won't even tell their real doctors or therapists.
For instance, one of the older children in the home, Marcus (Keith Stanfield), an 18 year old, allows Mason to hear a rap he's been working on, which details his childhood from his prostitute mother who made him sell drugs and then beat him. Or when newbie Jayden (Kaitlyn Dever) arrives at the home and does not want to be a part of the system, she eventually opens up about her abusive life to Grace in the form of a kid's story she wrote, that might just be all too familiar for Grace herself, and we being to see that the counselors might have more in common with their kids than meets the eye.
Every scene will leave you breathless with its charm and drama, and will make you want to give each of these characters a long hug. What's so great is that, this never feels overly done or go into explicit dark territory. The moments feel real and genuine and while you might look at this story on paper and think, "This is gonna be rough", you'll come out the other side with a smile on your face and will be glad you took the ride.
Brie Larson deserves an acting award for her role in this film. She is a top notch actor, who I feel can compete with Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, and Helen Mirren. Her wit and emotional breakdowns are true-to-life, and even when she might be making a mistake, we still love her. Gallagher Jr. is as always amazing to watch on screen. His comedic timing and ability to deliver a story is impeccable. And Cretton's direction is beautiful and magical, and shows every little quirk in these characters.
'Short Term 12' might just be the best film of the year.
When I'm not eating cake covered in Lucky Charms and making my old He-Man toys scissor each other, wait… I think I missed a step in there somewhere. I'm guessing something was either ingested and/or inhaled. Any-who, I write for a major online outlet, make films, and own a comic book store. Boomstick Comics!!.

Dhunki a capella performs during Awaazien 2018 at Marshall Family Performing Arts Center on March 24. In Hindi, Awaazien means "voices." Photo by Michael Stout | Mercury Staff.
A UTD singing group hosted a South Asian a cappella tournament with teams from all across the United States.
Dhunki a cappella held its fourth annual Awaazein on March 24, where eight South Asian a cappella teams gathered to compete for three grand prizes and a shot at the Chicago-based national finals in late April. The teams, from California, Michigan, Florida and more, convened at the Marshall Family Performing Arts Center at Greenhill School. The $1,500 first-place prize was awarded to Texas A&M's Swaram a cappella, followed by Hum a cappella from the University of Texas at Austin, then Vanderbilt's Vandy Taal.
Awaazein, which is Hindi for "voices," describes a genre of a cappella characterized by its combination of English and Hindi music. This competition requires 70 percent of teams' music to be South Asian, and each team gets 12 minutes to perform their set. Supply chain management junior Vivek Kotikalapudi, an officer in Dhunki a cappella, said the performances get better every year.
For example, Dhunki members acted out a drunk driving scene in their performance, expressing grief and regret through a mashup of Adele's "Skyfall," and in Hindi, "Teri Khair." Texas A&M's Luke Sandelin said their team, Swaram a cappella, based this year's set on drug abuse awareness. He said their scores are important, but the causes they sing for are most special to the team.
The Network of Desi A Cappella, an association of South Asian singing teams, has 50 registered teams. Awaazein is not only a chance for teams to earn a spot at nationals in April, but also a competition for three prizes. Dhunki hosted the competition and performed for the audience after the competitive portion had finished.
Kotikalapudi said UTD's strong Indian population includes students who have received classical Indian voice training, so Dhunki a cappella has great talent to choose from. Not everyone on their team, however, is South Asian.
The University of Miami's team, Tufaan, is named after the Hindi word for "hurricane," symbolizing the way the team combines Hindi and Western music like dust particles in a storm. Student Arjun Malhotra said Tufaan loves visiting this competition.
His fellow musician, Mohamed Nuh, said the mood at Awaazein was full of energy, with every team hoping to qualify for the national competition.

In these essays, members of the Hoover Establishment's Activity Power on Ok-12 education, joined by several eager-eyed observers, blend prediction with prescription to color a vivid image of American primary and secondary education in 2030. What follows is necessarily speculative, and readers may choose parts to be wishful pondering or politically naïve. However none of it is fanciful-we're not writing fiction right here-and all of it, in the authors' views, is desirable. That's to say, the adjustments outlined here would yield a extra responsive, environment friendly, efficient, nimble, and productive K-12 education system than we have at the moment. Diploma mills are colleges that are more involved in taking your money than providing you with a top quality education. It's essential to know the way to protect your self as a shopper. Not a lot has changed since 2000, when the U.S. scored alongside the OECD common in every topic: This year, the U.S. scores beneath common in math and ranks seventeenth among the 34 OECD nations. It scores near the OECD average in science and studying and ranks 21st in science and 17th in studying.
Contrary to what many politicians say, together with Governor Bobby Jindal, R-La, our kids are usually not put on this planet to additional the US workforce. They aren't here to compete globally. They are not here to change into employee bees for big world firms. They are NOT government pawns. Possibly that's what you need on your youngsters, but for mine I dream of creativity, targets, individuality, and I pray they observe within the path of developing Godly character, at all times striving to do what is true.

Most of the establishments talked about above knew there have been miscreants within their midst and chose to faux otherwise. For example, there's a lengthy tradition that cops don't rat out a fellow officer. Manuel B. Garcia (1989), another Filipino creator, categorised using modules, together with programmed instruction, self-learning kits and correspondence programs, and mastery studying technique, underneath the self-pacing technique of instruction.
The know-how of developed international locations requires frequent adaptation to the wants of creating nations. The U.S. scored beneath the PISA math imply and ranks twenty sixth out of the 34 OECD nations. The U.S. math rating shouldn't be statistically totally different than the next international locations: Norway, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Russian Federation, Slovak Republic, Lithuania, Sweden, and Hungary.

WHAT LEVEL OF INTENT IS REQUIRED FOR AN AGGRAVATED BATTERY CHARGE?
State v. Johnson, 2011, 265 P.3d 585, 46 Kan.App.2d 870.
This appeal arises from events that occurred on March 11 and 12, 2010, in which the victim, Michael Holcom, was struck by Jennifer Johnson and was later beaten in his home by Andrew "A.J." Haught, allegedly at Johnson's request. On April 1, 2010, Johnson was charged convicted of misdemeanor battery and aggravated battery by aiding and abetting. Id. at 872. She appealed her convictions.
Conflicting testimony was presented at trial. At the bar, Johnson met two men, brothers A.J. Haught and Chad Haught, and she introduced the men to Darci Drake. Drake's boyfriend, Andy Didas, was also at the bar. The entire group eventually went over to Drake's house. Id. Johnson then left the house to meet up with Holcolm but returned a short time later upset. Drake testified that Johnson said she had hit Holcolm because she thought he was cheating on her. Haught testified that Johnson told him that Holcolm had hit her. A.J. testified that he, his brother, and Didas went over to Holcom's house after Drake and Johnson had asked them to do so. He testified that Drake wanted them to talk to Holcom, but Johnson said, "No, I want you to take care of it for me." Id. at 874. A.J. testified that he took Johnson's statement to mean that she wanted the men to beat up Holcom. According to A.J., Drake began to give directions to Holcom's house, but Johnson gave more specific directions, including the street address, landmarks, which door to use to enter the house, which door within the house led to Holcom's room, and where in Holcom's room the light switch was located. Id. Johnson denied knowing Haught went to Holcomb's house and she also denied that she asked anyone to "take care of" Holcolm. Id. at 877.
Holcom's left cheekbone was broken in several places, and his upper jaw was totally disassociated from the rest of his face. Holcom underwent surgery to repair these injuries, which involved affixing titanium plates to realign bone fragments and wiring his upper jaw to his lower teeth. Id. at 876.
K.S.A. 21–3414(a)(1)(A) states that aggravated battery is "intentionally causing great bodily harm to another person or disfigurement of another person." Kansas courts have held that aggravated battery is a general intent crime. Id. at 879. "The requisite general intent is merely the intent to engage in the underlying conduct. The State is not required to prove that the defendant intended the precise harm or result that occurred." Id. at 880.
Under K.S.A. 21–3201, criminal intent may be established where the defendant's conduct is intentional or reckless:
"Except as otherwise provided, a criminal intent is an essential element of every crime defined by this code. Criminal intent may be established by proof that the conduct of the accused person was intentional or reckless. Proof of intentional conduct shall be required to establish criminal intent, unless the statute defining the crime expressly provides that the prohibited act is criminal if done in a reckless manner.
"Intentional conduct is conduct that is purposeful and willful and not accidental….
"Reckless conduct is conduct done under circumstances that show a realization of the imminence of danger to the person of another and a conscious and unjustifiable disregard of that danger." Id.
"From the foregoing evidence, a rational factfinder could reasonably infer that Johnson was very upset about the affair between Holcom and Deters and that when she asked A.J. to "take care of it," she meant for him to beat Holcom rather than to simply get Holcom's side of the story. Id. at 886. A rational factfinder could further infer that Johnson's directions to Holcom's house, including entry through a side door and the location of Holcom's room within the house, were given so that the men could take Holcom by surprise rather than confront him openly and constituted advice on how to commit the crime. Id. at 887. Although there is evidence in the record which supports a different conclusion, it was the jury's prerogative to determine witness credibility, the weight of the evidence, and any reasonable inferences that may be drawn from the evidence. Considering the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, we conclude there was sufficient evidence to support Johnson's conviction of aggravated battery by aiding and abetting." Id.

The rally from 2604 is deemed to be a countertrend rally, or a secondary reaction to the primary trend which is now down. As of a week ago Friday, the countertrend had rallied to 2750 and was in the process of pulling back before moving higher. The pull-back was curtailed by the elections, only retracing .382 to 2700, and SPX then surged to our next target of 2815 for a .618 retracement of the entire downtrend from 2841 to 2604. 2815 was reached on Wednesday and SPX has been pulling back, since.
While the B-wave of the primary trend was expected to retrace to ~2813-2838, it is unlikely that we are already on our way to a new low. The P&F accumulation which took place at the 2600 level had suggested a possible reach to about 2840. So, Instead of topping right away, we have probably started a distribution process which could take the index a little higher before the larger trend regains control. The action of IWM, which did a good job of predicting the 2941 top, may again give us a hint about the end of the secondary trend. It is lagging SPX in the recovery, but it also seems to have a little more to go on the upside.
So far, there is no reason to expect the uptrend from 2604 to be anything other than a bear market rally which is usually fast and furious. Of course, we'll be alert for other possibilities to unfold.
The market structure still suggests that the rally from 2604 is a bear market rally with Wave A making its low at 2604, and wave B currently underway. Since these rallies usually unfold in a 3-wave sequence, this is what is expected, and is the way it has been labeled on the chart. The a-wave found resistance at 2756, just below the major (blue) trend line from 1810, as well as with the 200-dma. Wave b was completed at 2700, just above the June low (green horizontal line), and wave c is currently underway. While it has reached the normal .618 retracement of the initial downtrend, there are reasons to believe that it will first pull back, and then make its final high either by re-testing the 2815 level or moving a little beyond to about 2840.
The oscillators turned down after the price reached 2815, but are only suggesting a consolidation at this time. Should all three continue lower and become negative again (the A/Ds indicator already has) it would be a sign that we could be on the way to re-test at least the 2700 level one more time; so what happens over the next week or so should clarify the market position.
Structurally, the finishing touch of the large B wave should require another move higher toward 2830-40 to complete what appears to be a zig-zag formation from the 2604 low.
uncommon. After reaching .618, the index started a correction which was predicted by the negative divergence in the momentum oscillators and which does not look quite finished since we are still in the red zone, with the price remaining within a small down-trending channel. It is possible that the current pull-back will close the open gap, and find support on the red dashed line just below and, from there, start the move which could complete the larger B wave. However this plays out, SPX will remain in a short-term uptrend until it comes out of the price channel represented by the two dashed lines.
If, after completing its move to about 2840, the index does not immediately start to decline below 2700, it would mean that additional distribution is needed in this area in order to build a larger count before resuming the primary trend, perhaps in the form of a double zig-zag. A third option would be for the index, after additional consolidation, to begin a move that would surpass 2840. This would alert us to the possibility that we still have not made the bull market high after all, and that the original 3000+ projection is still viable.
The DJIA remains unquestionably the strongest index and IWM the weakest. A quick way to assess this is by looking at Friday's close relative to the red 200-dma and blue 50-dma. While all four indexes broke below the 200-dma, DJIA is the only one which rebounded above both moving averages, while IWM has not even come close to its 200-dma. Until IWM starts to improve its relative performance to the other indexes, we can assume that the correction is not over.
UUP has pushed to a new high but is coming close to some resistance at about 26.00. The indicators are also beginning to show some negative divergence. That suggests that it is approaching a reversal point and subsequent downtrend, which could challenge at least the short, minor trend line immediately and, a little later on, the longer trend line from the March-April low.
The recent strength in UUP has set GDX back (at least temporarily), and until it shows a better action in its oscillators it could drop a little lower; especially if UUP continues to move higher. However, with UUP's upside apparently limited, and good support still present just above 18.00, further weakness in this index may be limited.
USO is approaching a 50% retracement of its recent uptrend, and this may be good enough for at least a temporary hold, and perhaps a place from which it can resume its longer term uptrend. Positive divergence has begun to appear in the CCI and this is a bullish sign.
Last week, SPX surged before and after the elections, reaching 2815, a .618 retracement of its original decline from 1941 to 1604. This could be good enough to have completed the B wave rally. But since there are still potential counts to about 2840, we should wait and see what it does over the next week or so.

Q: 13.04 Dash Icon and Ubuntu Gnome-Classic Issues The dash icon for Ubuntu 13.04 was "released", and a how-to on OMG! Ubuntu! Was written. Now, I followed all of the instructions, and the assets installed fine. Oh they installed alright, and now I can't get rid of them! I went through the multiple posts, but since this seems to be a new problem, none of the answers were working, and nothing new was appearing! So what I did, was I went into Gnome-Classic, just for old times sake, and I wanted to hide from the new 13.04 icons I didn't really take to. And of course what should appear covering my top, and bottom panels, but the Unity dock, with it's 13.04 Dash icon and everything. Wait, how did unity make it's way into my gnome-classic environment? I'm not really sure, but after about an hour of fooling around with Unity-Tweak and the compiz configuration, I needed something new. Would it be a bad idea to reinstall? At this point, nothing much would be lost, but I would like to stray from that idea.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the outcome. This grow had it's challenges from the beginning, but despite rough conditions for the first part of her life, she managed to be the healthiest of the four plants I started this run.
I really see the potential for some amazing bud! The smell coming off this lady is incredible! Her buds started to turn a nice shade of purple as she matured as well. I really cannot wait to grow another one of these amazing beans and give it proper attention this time... the next one will be way better.
Ended up with just shy of 95g wet bud and around 30g wet trim, not the largest yield ever but I cannot wait to try these buds!
I'm looking forward to trying this strain again now that there is not so much going on in my grow space. I think overcrowding and poor ventilation caused a lot of problems this run. I am just letting a few plants finish up and them I'm back to a four plant rotation... starting two seeds every 30-35 days. I see the potential for some incredible quality buds, can't wait to see the next one.
Will update dry weights and a smoke report in a few days.
I probably had closer to 30g, but I "tested" a bit and forgot to get my dry weight and final pictures.... So I'll record it as it was when I realised. Really nice smoke, that berry taste and smell shines through in the finished product. I like it so much, I already started another one.
Awesome harvest. Love the black purple color on em!
@TeflonDonFarms, Me too! I need to do another one of these and do it properly this time. I love the smell of this plant. Not gonna end up with much from this one, but what's there looks real nice.
