One occasionally hears the comment--usually voiced in a critical tone--that California has no seasons...just one long, balmy semi-summer, all year 'round. This is wrong, and I've decided that those who make such claims either don't live here or haven't lived here long enough to understand the subtleties of our seasonal changes. What we don't have are seasons exactly like those archetypal American seasons beloved of calendar illustrations: the flaming Vermont maples and the deep, pillowy snow of Wisconsin. But if you live here awhile and pay attention even a little, you will come to appreciate a very pronounced progress through the turnings of the year.
We certainly know how to do Summer here: hot and bright and sun-splashed, with miles and miles of golden grasslands in every direction. (Never mind that we often see the best of this "summer" in the time slot other parts of the country reserve for "fall.") We also do Spring very well, and in a passably conventional format, with blooming wildflowers by the acre and trees trying on their first frilly petticoats. Better yet, we jump start our Spring in March or even February, while much of the rest of the country is still wearing its winter woolies and digging out from under the last, slushy drifts of snow. We do Autumn too, in our own way, and although we don't have the extravagant, fiery woods of New England, we do have a fair number of turning trees, from poplars and cottonwoods to sycamores, and we have something else that's almost as splendid: the corduroy folds of vineyards splashed with the reds and golds of Autumn's mineral-rich palette. Best of all, we have the golden-amber light of Autumn...California's generous sunshine filtered through the dense lens of late-season sky.
Perhaps the most under-appreciated of our seasons is Winter. It's true, snow is a rarity here, and never, ever gets to the point of being a season-long presence (until long after you've had your fill of it). If we see snow at all, it's just a light dusting on the higher hills, with maybe enough of it up on the Geysers to make a snowman or have a snowball skirmish. But while we may lack this signature Winter hallmark, we do have many other signs of the times to tell us we're in the long winter night.
One of the most magical moments of Winter, and the one that signals the beginning of the season, is the greening of the hills. From June through Ocotober, the rolling, grassy meadows that cover so much of California are burnished to a brassy, golden shimmer (that has as much to do with this being called the Golden State as the discovery of any precious metal.) But sometime around mid-November, after the first rains of the winter-to-come, Mother Nature performs her favorite conjuring trick: pulling whole meadows of new, green shoots out of tiny, sleeping seedpods. In a matter of days, a chlorophyl-green fuzz spreads across the hillsides; creeps, like an incoming tide, up the creek beds, and quietly muscles the Golden State's golden grasses offstage for another half year.
Few people appreciate these changes as much as cyclists, who probably spend more time out of doors and out in the wider, wilder world than any other group, save perhaps the assorted professionals who work outside, such as rangers and linemen. And while cyclists in most of the rest of the country have to resort to rollers or wind-trainers to stay in shape while the snow drifts round the door, here we can go out and revel in our Winter from the front-row seats of our regular bikes. It's true, we do have to joust and dodge with winter storms. Those hills don't become green without a fair amount of watering. We all know the miseries of riding in wet, cold weather, but when conditions let up just enough to let the roads dry out, we can find a lot to like out there on the nippy days of December and January.
For one thing, there is the crisp, clear, storm-scrubbed atmosphere. In the summer, from the top of Campmeeting Ridge (home of Meyers Grade Road), even on a supposedly fog-free day, one can just make out the coastline far below. Certainly it's a spectacular panorama, but only in a hazy, soft-focus way. In the winter however, that same view has a cut-crystal clarity. One can pick out every detail, all the way down the coast, past Bodega Head and down the length of Tomales Bay, past Hog Island even, and all the way to Inverness. It's the subtle sort of seasonal difference that you might miss if you only saw it once--in one season or the other--and especially if you only saw it from a car. You have to have been there in both seasons to appreciate the difference, and being out in the open on a bike is the best way to soak it in. Once you do "get it," the difference stops being subtle and becomes spectacular.
Another nice winter touch--at least in areas with deciduous woodlands--is that, with the leaves off the trees, one sees all sorts of things that are hidden behind the foliage the rest of the year. Ever wonder what stately home lies hidden up beyond those imposing gate posts? Wonder no more: there it is, back among the bare branches. Or perhaps another, humbler home is revealed: the stick and twig thatch of a bird's nest, cradled in the crook of a limb.
Then there are the only-when-it-rains streams, turning our dry, rocky arroyos into splish-spashing cascades straight out of a Tyrollean idyll. These might be taken for ho-hum little streams in another state, where snow melt or constant rain keep them running year-'round. But here, we appreciate them all the more for only seeing them for a few months of the year. We pull up on our bikes to ooh and ahh at a frothing cataract that was just an empty gorge a few weeks before.
By these and other, even tinier telltales do we recognize the passage from Fall into Winter. And if our dark time of the year lacks the knock-out punch of six-foot deep snow drifts or months on end of sleet and freeze, well, so who's complaining? We're still riding!

Who Has The Keys To Your Home?
Computer Security for Teens at Home
The vast array of home security products available on the market today can be dizzying. Home security products can be wireless or hard-wired, optional or required or simple or complex. Determining which home security products you need can be difficult enough and it becomes more complicated when you have to choose between the assortment of models that are available for each product. Wading through all of the available information can be overwhelming. For this reason, choosing only the most basic home security products can greatly simplify the process. The control panel, keypad, access control sensors and an audible or visible alarm are some of the basic home security products that are used in just about every home security system.
The control panel is one of the most important home security products available. This is the heart of any security system. All of the wirings for the other home security products meet at the control panel, and the entire system is tied together at this location. Without this valuable component, the security system would not function properly.
The keypad is another of many home security products that exist in just about every security system. The keypad is where the homeowner interacts with the system. The system can be activated and deactivated at this location. The keypad is also where the system displays messages for the homeowners. If there has been a breach of security while you were away or if one of your home security products is malfunctioning, the keypad will display these important messages for you. The other purpose that the keypad plays is to display the current status of the system.
Access control sensors are other home security products that are critical to the function of a home security system. These home security products are used to detect if a door or window is opened while the security system is activated. When these sensors are triggered, an alarm will sound either immediately or on a delay. The reason that most security systems incorporate a delay is to enable the homeowner to deactivate the system upon returning to their home.
Finally, an audible alarm and strobe lights are other home security products that are commonly used. These home security products can be used separately or in conjunction with each other. The importance of these components is that they alert the homeowners as well as their neighbors to a possible intruder. In most cases, a triggered alarm is enough to cause the burglar to vacate the property as quickly as possible.
Not all home security products are necessary. Many home security products such as motion detectors and security cameras are optional while home security products such as the control panel, keypad, access control sensors and audible or visual alarms are necessary for the system to function properly.

This is also the reason I write. A few days ago I mentioned that I was in a bit of a writing funk and now I know why. With my book, Where the Light Enters, I created a whole cast of characters set in a whole new world. Now that I've finished the first manuscript, I really missed them the way I miss people I love when I don't see them as often as I'd like. It's strange to think that we can invent something that gives us that kind of emotion, but we can. I guess it is a great blessing and curse of our imaginations.
And so today I started sketching out ideas for Miss Emerson Page and the enormous task she takes on at the end of the first book. I don't know where she's heading yet, how she'll get there, or who she'll meet, but I do know this—it's wonderful to see her again.

Virat Kohli Is India's Most Valued Celebrity But Also Victim To Burnout
Zaid Nisar
The Indian cricket team's captain Virat Kohli is currently ranked as one of the most prominent people in India as a celebrity. Most cricketers acknowledge his presence and his efforts for pulling up the Indian team. He is even considered as one of the greatest batsmen in the world.
With his growing popularity, it has been difficult for Kohli to squeeze in time for his personal life. The burden from his packed schedule has taken a toll on his cricket performance as well. This is evident as his poor form is posing a problem for the Indian team rivaling New Zealand in the trails lasting from 29th Feb to 4th March.

Kohli has rapidly disappointed his followers and fans of cricket with his current performance. His skills are lagging behind as compared to his achievements in the past. This shows the cricketer is struggling with burnout, an issue he has touched upon before.
Though, some cricket fans are unwilling to understand. People are also supporting and acknowledging the fact he requires time to recover and return as his best self.
Virat Kholi's popularity is soaring
Why is Virat Kholi so famous? He became an icon for young cricket fans through his impressive batting skills and humble attitude. His abilities encouraged other aspiring cricket players. The level of fame and celebrity image of Virat Kohli is visible through the release of a recent study.
The Celebrity Brand Valuation Study for 2019 ranked Virat Kohli in first for the third consecutive year. His value increased by 39% to $237.5 million in 2019. Unquestionably, he could defend his title if his form recovers fully, helping his play improve further.

Highly-regarded stars like Akshay Kumar came second. His brand value ended at $104.5 million. Various other prominent stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone came after Kohli, proving the immense popularity of the cricketer.
Even President Donald Trump arriving at the Motera Stadium for an event organized for him titled 'Namaste Trump' mentioned Virat Kohli in his speech. He said, "All over the planet people take great joy in watching Bollywood films, bhangra, and classic films like DDLJ and Sholay. You cheer on great cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli."
Declining performances and hectic schedule
The Indian cricket team is on a six-week tour in New Zealand at the moment. After its completion, it will visit Dharamsala to participate in the One-Day International against South Africa. Then, move to Lucknow for the second ODI followed by Kolkata for the finalization of the series.

All the while, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) mentions Kohli to compete in at least one match, but his packed schedule begs to differ.
Most of the players will be subjected to tests to examine their workload which will follow up with the decision of formulating the list of players to send for the matches.
Kohli has been vocal about his intense schedule where he travels, practices, and spares time for his personal concerns simultaneously. As he's the captain of the Indian cricket team, he has more responsibilities resting on his shoulders.
Image Credits: Dawn
His performance in the second test with New Zealand was concerning. He only scored 204 runs in ten innings on the current New Zealand tour. He also suffered an LBW for 3, and called a review for it.
Fans were disappointed considering the ball looked plump, so there was no need to go for a review. Many took to Twitter to bash the cricketer for wasting a review and putting the team in jeopardy.
He mentioned taking breaks in-between to help regain his energy. After the first test match with New Zealand, he added,
"And the intensity is right up there all the time. So it does take a toll on you. I am not saying it's not something the players are not thinking about. We do choose to take a lot more breaks individually even though the schedule might not allow you to. You are going to see a lot of that in the future of many players. Not just myself, especially from the guys who are playing all three formats. It's not that easy."
He reassured his audience and added,
"I can keep going on with the same intensity and I also understand that the team wants a lot of my contribution so that we can ease into another transition phase that we faced some five-six years ago. So the mindset is on the larger picture, and from that point, I am preparing myself for a rigorous three years from now."
Hopefully, he'll take some time to recover and return back better than ever. Even if Kohli's success is escalating, it's important he prioritizes his mental and physical health than anything else.

Incoming First-Year Student Wins National Instagram Contest
Henry Johnston is entering the Emerson College Class of 2021 with a hefty dose of enthusiasm and an extra $5,000 toward his studies after he won a national video competition on Instagram.
The College Board #Collegiance competition asked high school seniors to announce what college or university they were choosing via video, Boomerang, or photo, and post it to Instagram.
Johnston won the grand prize in the video category with his futuristic take on selecting a school. Emerson College Today asked him about the competition and his decision to come to Emerson.
ECT: How did you come up with the concept for the video?
HJ: I saw a similar effect in a trailer for a video game, and I thought it would be really cool to learn how to do it. I researched some [Adobe] After Effects tutorials on YouTube and I figured out how to achieve the effect. [Then] I just needed to figure out where I wanted to go to college.
ECT: How long did it take to make?
HJ: It took about 30 minutes to film but then three days to edit and render.
ECT: Did you expect to win?
HJ: I absolutely did not expect to win, because the contest was through Instagram [and] you could see other students' entries; some other people had pyrotechnics and stop motion animation, and I thought this was a longshot at best.
ECT: What are you planning to study at Emerson?
HJ: I am planning on studying Media Production with a focus on interactive media and possibly a minor in Comedy or Sports Communication.
ECT: Why did you pick Emerson, and were those other schools shown in the video actually schools you were considering?
HJ: All of the schools in my video were schools I had been accepted to, but while I was making the video I narrowed it down between Clemson and Emerson. (I actually made two rough cuts of the video, one where I picked Clemson and one where I picked Emerson.)
Before I visited Emerson, I was 80 percent sure I was going to go to Clemson. A lot of my friends were going there, my cousin goes there, and when you live in South Carolina, Clemson and USC (the real USC, University of South Carolina) are the two safest options.
But once I got off the T station and stepped outside and felt the snow on my face and felt the sounds of downtown Boston surround me, in my heart I knew I was in the right place.
ECT: Anything else you want people to know about you?
HJ: I will be playing volleyball for Emerson, which was another plus Emerson had. Clemson has the number one football team in the nation but no men's volleyball team.

Everything You Need to Know About Shrooms Dispensaries in Canada
Home / Psilocybin Mushrooms / Everything You Need to Know About Shrooms Dispensaries in Canada
No Comments on Everything You Need to Know About Shrooms Dispensaries in Canada
Is Canada the Only Country with Shroom Dispensaries?
Psilocybin and other psychedelics may be helpful for a number of mental health and other disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anorexia, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and addiction, according to studies from recent years. Indigenous peoples have used psychedelics in spiritual ceremonies for hundreds of years because they understand their therapeutic benefits.
Psilocybin was designated a "breakthrough therapy" in the treatment of severe depression by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2018. This classification is given by the agency to medicines that early trials show significantly outperform standard therapies.
As continued research is done on psilocybin and more of its benefits are discovered, the demand for it grows. Canada isn't the only country in the world that has shroom dispensaries. In fact, there are many countries around the world that embrace the therapeutic effects of psilocybin and where its use is legal for citizens. Let's explore the places around the world that are psilocybin-friendly.
Shroom Dispensaries in the U.S.
Voters in Oregon approved a ballot proposal in 2020, setting the state on the way to a licensing and regulating system that will, starting in 2023, allow patients to use psilocybin under supervision. Psilocybin was first made lawful in Oregon.
The Connecticut legislature began the process of licensing facilities where veterans and first responders might get psilocybin and MDMA (a synthetic psychedelic) in its budget bill this year. For a long time, several veterans' organizations have fought for the availability of psychedelic therapies for veterans, especially those with PTSD.
Texas, Utah, and Washington have established task teams or provided funding for studies into the use of psilocybin for medical purposes. Maryland has established a $1 million fund to research non-traditional therapies, such as psychedelics, for traumatic brain injury or post-traumatic stress disorder and to pay for such therapies for veterans.
Psilocybin legalization proposals are currently on the ballot in Colorado and California. A bill to legalize psilocybin for the treatment of specific diseases was submitted last month by the president of the New Jersey Senate.
Cities like Ann Arbour, Michigan, Denver, Oakland, California, and Seattle have passed measures that essentially decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms and sometimes other psychedelics derived from plants or fungi.
Shroom Dispensaries in Europe
The most psychedelic-friendly nation in Europe is the Netherlands. Across the nation, getting psilocybin truffles, salvia, peyote, and other comparable psychedelics from coffee shops is a routine occurrence.
The nation places more emphasis on informing people about the effects of drugs than strictly enforcing the dos and don'ts. The theory is that covering up social vices doesn't help them go away; on the contrary, it makes them worse. The government has largely decriminalized the use of various substances. However, drug possession and trade without a license remain crimes.
Aside from psilocybin truffles, a growing psilocybin-assisted therapy and retreat scene is also emerging. The Netherlands is quickly gaining popularity as people from all over the world travel there to try out legal psilocybin-assisted therapy.
There are a multitude of shroom dispensaries in the United Kingdom as well. Even though shrooms are still considered illegal in the UK, the demand for it grows. Leading psychiatrists and conservative drug reformers are pleading with ministers to reschedule the hallucinogenic chemical psilocybin so that scientists can investigate its potential as a medicine.
Psilocybin mushrooms were never made illegal in Jamaica, not even at the height of the War on Drugs. Despite this, the cultivation and distribution of magic mushrooms have typically been restricted to the black market. That is beginning to change.
The business, Silo Wellness, launched the nation's first authorized functional and psychedelic mushroom retail location in Jamaica in 2021. Since that time, more mushroom stores have sprung up all throughout Bob Marley's country. Similar to this, psilocybin retreats and healing centers have sprung up all across the island country, drawing both locals and visitors from abroad. Jamaica is therefore rapidly developing into a well-known psychedelic vacation destination worldwide.
Though psilocybin itself is a restricted substance, growing and selling psilocybin mushrooms in the Bahamas is allowed as long as you're still in the Caribbean. In recent years, psilocybin health and wellness resorts have opened up all over the islands, much like in Jamaica.
In this list of nations where psychedelics are permitted, Brazil comes out on top. While psilocybin mushrooms are essentially legal in Brazil, where they are still sold almost exclusively on the black market, they take the top spot because the Latin American behemoth has also legalized ayahuasca.
And of Course… Canada
Of course, we can't leave our beloved Canada out of this article since shroom dispensaries are popping up all over the country. The most popular province to find shroom dispensaries in-store and online is British Columbia, however, there is a shroom boom in Toronto and Ottawa as well. You can find many walk-in shroom dispensaries in these places and countless online shroom dispensaries. These dispensaries usually have a vast variety of dried shroom species like Golden Teacher, Penis Envy, Blue Meanies, Flying Saucers, Avery Albino, South American, Cambodian, Costa Rican, and hundreds of more varieties. You can also find shroom microdose capsules and delicious shroom edibles like gummies, chocolate bars, cocoa powder mixes, lemonade drink mixes, and teas. Prices are very reasonable from online shroom dispensaries in Canada and shipping is quite cheap if you're ordering from within the country.
It's becoming more clear every day that as more of psilocybin's therapeutic benefits are discovered, people are turning to psilocybin-assisted therapy instead of pharmaceutical drugs to heal and resolve medical issues. This is not just true for Canadians, but for people all over the world. Many governments in countries like Brazil, the Netherlands, and the Bahamas are already quite forward-thinking and have understood how psilocybin can help their citizens have a better quality of life and healthier mental health. We hope the rest of the world follows suit and that eventually it's decriminalized in every country in the world.
We at Get Magic Mushrooms urge our customers to do the necessary research on any psychedelic beforehand to know what to expect, and always start with the lowest dose available if it's your first time. Have a safe and happy trip!

Presidential Innovation Fellowship for USPTO Patent Quality Initiative
By Renee Dopplick, ACM Director of Public Policy
The Presidential Innovation Fellows program invites applications from individuals interested in helping the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) improve patent quality through better prior art identification and evaluation. Fellows will collaborate with innovators in government for 6-13 months. Applications will be accepted through April 7, 2014.
The USPTO also will host a Software Partnership Roundtable on crowdsourcing prior art on April 10, 2014, to receive stakeholder input on ways to leverage techniques and existing initiatives to identify and acquire prior art that is not in the patent publications. The roundtable also will discuss ways to decrease barriers to third-party preissuance submissions.
For more information about the Presidential Innovation Fellowship for the USPTO Patent Quality Initiative, read the USPTO blog post.

after the engine dies does it restart right away or will the engine crank over but not start for a while? If it turns over but doesn't start, that would be the time to check to see if you have lost spark, fuel pressure or injector pulse.
It will just turn over but after about 15 to 30 minutes it will start and I can go again. But it will die again after about 20 minutes of running.
it kinda sounds like the ignition control module might be getting hot and turning off. When it cools back down it will run again. You are going to have to check your spark out of the coil and injector pulse when it cranks and doesn't start to see what you're missing.
if you have a graphing meter or a lab scope you could back probe the control module and check for the spout (spark output) at the connector. The control module should be bolted to your distributor. If the module is the problem, most times, you may not be able to access the two bolts that hold it on. You may have to move the distributor to get at the bolts. It is very common for the distributor to be stuck. And I mean really stuck. be careful when trying to break it loose. sometimes the distributor can be damaged it you aren't careful. But, that's just if you have to change the module.
Already changed it out and still does the same thing. And I don't have the tools to check the other stuff, so I guess it's off to the shop. Although a friend said the fuel line may be vapor locking.
