Buffalo grass gets its name from its history. It was one of the main, native turf grasses that helped to support the roaming and grazing herds of buffalo that used to be all over the land. The grass is relatively thin and sparse, with a blue-green coloring, and the blades can grow 10 to 12 inches tall. Because the grass is thin, though, the blades fall over and give the appearance of being much shorter. That gives the grassy area a unique look. If you decide to use this type of grass for your yard or another area that you want to plant, there are two ways to do it.
The grass can grow from runners, or you can use seeds. Whichever way you choose to get your grass to grow, though, remember that the area it's being placed on has to be acceptable to it. This kind of grass only grows in certain conditions, and is very tolerant to drought and heat. It won't work well in an area of the country that's very humid, or a place where there is a large amount of rainfall. It's better in more desert-like conditions and in the plains states.
Knowing whether Buffalo is the right grass for your area is the first step. If it turns out that you can grow the grass in your location, make sure you do your research and prep your site carefully. The more care you take in getting the site ready the easier it will be to plant your grass and see it do well. Whether you're using it for a yard or for an open field, it can look beautiful and be relatively easy to maintain once you get it started. Just make sure you consult with a professional if you're unsure about something or if the grass starts to die or perform poorly.

GATEWAY TO A NEW GENERATION OF POWER
Gills Harbour Ltd > Guide > GATEWAY TO A NEW GENERATION OF POWER
2017 could be a pivotal year for the community-owned Gills Harbour in the Far North of Scotland, as it presses to be at the forefront of supporting the race to commercially harness "clean" power from the sea.
The volunteer directors of Gills Harbour, on the shores of the Pentland Firth's Inner Sound, anticipate a key role in providing a secure workboat base for the UK's newest energy industry.
That's in the wake of the start-up in late 2016 and early 2017 of the world-leading tidal stream electricity project, just over one mile away. Typical new, modern, work-boats operating in the Firth are rectangular 24-metre "many-purpose" steel mini-ships, costing over £3 million each.
The installation of the first four "unseen" generating turbines on the 30-metre deep sea-bed of the Inner Sound —¬ and their successful electricity connection to the National Grid — has led to a belief that the commercial exploitation of the powerful natural forces of the Firth's fast-moving waters is just around the corner.
Atlantis Resources Ltd's Phase 1A of its MeyGen sub-sea site is the beginning of a major pollution-free 400MW underwater power station that the LSE "AIM-listed" corporation plans to complete within the next eight years.
The turbulent waters of the main Pentland Firth all lie within easy range of Gills Harbour and hold out the potential of providing Scotland — and the UK — with a renewable energy output equivalent to between two and three major new nuclear power plants. That is if the generating price can be made competitively right, as Atlantis RL's CEO Mr Tim Cornelius insists is likely, in early 2017.
The 6 MW "demonstration" phase 1A has taken that vision a stage closer and brought worldwide attention to the Pentland Firth's Inner Sound. It is where volunteer-led Gills Harbour operates the small port with big potential that could regenerate the local area, best known for John O'Groats, just three miles along the road.
Kinetic energy within the powerful tidal streams that dominate the firth, the windswept narrow channel between Caithness and the offshore Orkney Islands, was harnessed for the first time to generate electricity in November 2016.
This marks the real start of a long-term process — a small beginning, but one that should see strong growth from now to far into the future.
Atlantis Resources Ltd, the developers of its Inner Sound "demonstration array", began to feed electricity into Scottish & Southern Energy's local distribution network from 15th November. This is prior to a National Grid connection in 2020, when the new Scottish & Southern Energy (SSE) Gills Bay electricity sub-station opens.
Many view the development as a milestone for Gills Harbour Ltd (GHL) which operates the small port at the (landward) head of Gills Bay, just four miles west of John O'Groats, at the "top" of Scotland.
Gills Harbour lies less than 1.5 miles from where the debut tidal turbine started spinning. It belongs to around 600 electors living in scattered crofting-origin (i.e. "peasant-style" agriculture) settlements strung along the Pentland Firth shore of Canisbay Parish, from West Mey to John O'Groats, inclusive. The civil parish constitutes around half of the smallest local government unit, the Dunnet & Canisbay Community Council, in Scotland's Highland region.
"Gills Harbour's operators aim to provide a unique cost-saving service to tidal-stream electricity developers, whilst also enhancing human safety and productivity."
GHL owns the low-lying land and foreshore (around 7 acres) in between the East and West Burns of Gills (which debouch at either side of the harbour), down (northwards) to the low-water (LWOST) mark from the foot of low cliffs. The latter forms the company's southern land boundary. It is run by unremunerated local directors with office-bearers elected from their ranks at an annual general meeting each spring.
The community company leases part of its property for roll-on/roll-off goods and passenger ferry services.
This lease is "assigned" to successful family-owned firm Pentland Ferries Ltd (PFL), that has spent many millions of pounds on building its comprehensive, modern, land and sea terminals there and on adjacent seabed that PFL rents from the Crown Estate.
GHL retains the direct operational interest in the little port's Inner Basin.
That is where the real opportunity exists for year-round 24/7 safe berthing for workboats needed in the harnessing of the fast-flowing tidal streams for generating electricity. The reason is that the Inner Basin can be suitably, and affordably, "enclosed" — i.e. it is not a "finger pier" pointing seawards, that thus will always be exposed to some wave-motion from the firth's open waters.
Rather, it is a location where secure berthing for 24-metre class vessels, typically drawing just over 2 metres of water, can be safely moored with a modicum of low-cost upgrading.
As in every other small rural locality in the world, its residents yearn to participate — gain employment or and give something towards — the successful exploitation over the coming decades of a major international-class natural resource, here on its sea-girt "front doorstep".
Few, if any, living locally doubt that 21st century technology has allowed the tidal streams to become world-class fuel reserves. Active participation in their exploitation holds a key to stabilising and then reversing the population decline that this "remote" area has sadly witnessed for more than a century.
"The Pentland Firth's tidal streams are a key natural resource for NE Caithness."
This prolonged, almost imperceptible, downward trend was highlighted in the independently-compiled consultants' "Socio-Economic Report" on Dunnet and Canisbay, published in late 2015, following widespread dialogue locally.
The commissioning of the study, that involved several open to the public gatherings and evidence-taking sessions from many local voluntary bodies, was the brainchild of the late John Green, of John O'Groats.
Mr Green (1944-2016) was a long-term NE Caithness councillor and former Secretary/Treasurer of Gills Harbour Ltd., here acting in his role as D&C Community Council chairman.
The study was specifically commissioned to provide policy guidance to official bodies, including (but not restricted to) The Highland Council and local jobs agency Highlands & Islands Enterprise. It was the first use of modest community income from a renewables development (Greencoat Stroupster Wind-farm) in Canisbay, NE Caithness.
Many local residents (and "natives" living away from home) are highly-qualified in the energy field, with skills that should be transferable for future employment as "tidal stream technicians" whilst others have sea-going capabilities (and appropriate "tickets") in the small boats crewing field.
The worldwide price slump in the oil & gas industry has meant redundancy for some offshore oilmen, many with international experience. One "industrial" electrician, temporarily unemployed locally, is a GHL director.
And there's always likely to be space for young incomers, who want to participate as the exciting Pentland Firth tidal stream dream becomes reality over the coming decades.
Gills Harbour Ltd's operators want to provide a unique service to tidal-stream electricity developers that will lead to significant cost-reductions plus positives for human safety in this nascent field. It expects to seek partner(s) to ensure that this occurs.
Cost-cutting, without compromising safety but enhancing it, is now seen by all parties as the proper way forward, so that sustainable long-term tidal power-stations become a key industry in the UK's "top corner", over 270 miles North of Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city.
This will allow an enduring, sustainable, Pentland Firth tidal-stream electricity industry to evolve on its shores, with innovations proven there spreading around the world from Scotland's most northerly corner.
In early March, 2017, Mr Andrew Banks announced that Pentland Ferries Ltd had ordered a brand-new 85 metre catamaran ROPAX ferry, from Strategic Marine pty, of near Perth, Western Australia.
'With a capacity of 98 cars and 430 passengers the £14 million new ship should enter service in 2018 Spring/early summer on the ancient, short-sea route from Gills Bay to St. Margaret's Hope, Orkney. The new vessel will be constructed at SM's steel-build ship-yard in Vietnam and will replace the present 2008-built Pentalina. Mr Banks stated that his company, also the main RO:RO trans-Pentland freight carrier, had placed the order to 'cater for increased traffic demand'.

Rutgers becomes only school to have two winning Hult Prize teams
Rutgers took the global prize last year
It's 2018, and still, over 844 million people around the world don't have access to clean water. Two teams of Rutgers students set out to change that – and set a record in the process. This past weekend in Boston and Shanghai, China, we became the only school to have two first-place teams in the Hult Prize regional competition.
The Hult Prize at Rutgers held a pitch competition in December 2017 and the first-place winner, Sulis, continued to the Boston Regional competition that took place on March 9th to 10th. There, Sulis competed against 45 universities from around the world and won first place, beating teams from schools such as Yale University, Brown University, Harvard University and others. LivingWaters applied through the online application of the competition and made it to the Shanghai regional finals. There they beat out over 50 of the top Asian universities to advance to the summer accelerator.
The Hult Prize was founded by a then-student named Ahmad Ashkar at the Hult International Business School in 2009 under the idea that "solving the world's most pressing challenges is not just the right thing to do, it is also good business." According to their website, the Hult Prize is the world's biggest engine for the launch of for-good, for-profit startups emerging from universities around the world. This year's challenge was to come up with an idea that would harness the power of energy to change the lives of 10 million people by 2025.

Sulis, the winning team at the Boston Regionals, came up with a device that uses solar energy to sanitize water and can function under a broad range of weather conditions for a low cost, especially for those in impoverished areas. As a plus, the materials are able to be locally sourced and produced.
The team is led by RU student Anurag Modak, a Cell Biology and Neuroscience double major who is Sulis' CEO. Sarah Pomeranz, a Management major, is the team's COO, Chemistry and Sociology double major Yuki Osumi is the Chief Technology Officer, and Ari Mendelow, an Industrial and Systems Engineering major, is the Chief Design Officer. The team found their footing and evolved as an effort through the interdisciplinary foundations of the Honors College.
"We were all super interested in trying to solve such a large scale problem," said Sarah. "The issue is so vast and affects people across the globe in so many different ways. People are trying to find infrastructure solutions but I don't think there is necessarily time. We wanted a solution that was simple. No filters. No electricity. Just a unit that you leave out in the sun and cleans water. Hopefully, there will be long-term solutions in the future, but we can't afford to wait for these solutions to come about."

Sulis is also now the recipient of a research grant from the National Science Foundation. You can view their pitch here.
The winning team in Shanghai, LivingWaters, pitched a cost-effective, zero-energy rainwater-catching system that can harvest and sanitize heavy-rainfall in areas without easy access to clean water. It can capture, filter and store a self-abundant supply of water at home.
LivingWaters is led by Joshua Kao, a junior double majoring in Marketing and Religious Studies. The rest of team consists of senior Thomas Irving, an Accounting major, Jane Peterken, a senior majoring in Civil and Environmental Engineering, and senior Shrey Ghate, also majoring in Civil and Environmental Engineering.

The teams, who were both advised by Rutgers Business School and Rutgers Law School Professor Mukesh M. Patel, will go on to participate in an intensive 8-week business incubator program this summer. They will receive mentoring, advising, and strategic planning to create prototypes to launch their business ideas. Only 6 teams will be chosen to pitch at the competition's final round at the United Nations in September, where the winner will receive $1 million in seed funding.
The Hult Prize at Rutgers was established in 2015 by Umair Masood. Last year, Rutgers' very own Roshni Rides was the global winner, winning $1 million in funding presented to them by former President Bill Clinton.

The Injury Wasn't Your Choice. But Your Lawyer Can Be.
GranuFlo lawsuits centralized, viable
On behalf of Reich & Binstock on Wednesday, November 12, 2014.
Plaintiffs in three GranuFlo lawsuits - two from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and one from the Eastern District of Missouri - hope a federal panel in Washington will side with them and not transfer their cases to the federal District of Massachusetts.
The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation is responsible for the accumulation of 1,942 pending GranuFlo lawsuits being centralized in Massachusetts for pretrial management.
The plaintiffs in GranuFlo lawsuits have at least two things in common.
"All of the actions ...," the panel wrote in February, "involve similar allegations that plaintiffs or their decedents suffered metabolic alkalosis as a result of the use of GranuFlo and/or NaturaLyte. These actions also likewise involve factual questions relating to whether these products were defectively designed or manufactured, whether Fresenius, the manufacturer of these dialysate products, knew or should have known of the alleged propensity of these products to cause injury, and whether it provided adequate instructions and warnings with these products."
The second common characteristic is more obvious: All of these plaintiffs decided not to silently overlook egregious injury or, in some cases, the untimely passing of a loved one following his or her exposure to the dialysis-treatment compound.
The product liability attorneys at Reich & Binstock handle these types of cases every day. A GranuFlo victim or the relative of a decedent can get a free consultation by simply calling the toll-free number below or by visiting the law firm's website and submitting an electronic request.
To the injured, science is on your side. So is the existence of documents that suggest Fresenius knew about the dangers posed by the administration of GranuFlo and/or NaturaLyte long before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration intervened in the interest of public health.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced in March 2012 a recall of the dialysis "medical device" known as the NaturaLyte and GranuFlo Dry Acid Concentrate. The agency explained that Fresenius Medical Care at the time was "cautioning clinicians" that "[i]nappropriate prescription of these products can lead to a high serum bicarbonate level in patients undergoing hemodialysis," which may trigger risk factors culminating in "cardiopulmonary arrest." It was the sort of information that a manufacturer has a duty not to keep to itself.
If you or a loved one has suffered as a result of the use of GranuFlo and/or NaturaLyte, the skilled product liability attorneys at Reich & Binstock are here for you.

Martini & Rossi vermouth
When we think of martini, we usually think of the (vodka) martini cocktail that Bond consumes regularly. But the brand Martini, a vermouth, is also often seen in Bond films and mentioned in Bond novels, as part of the martini cocktail.

Vodka glasses and caviar set
In Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) drinks Smirnoff vodka from long shot glasses with a heavy base. Bond's shot glass is part of a silver caviar set with 6 glasses and caviar bowl.
Shaken or Stirred? The Art of the Martini
"The waiter brought the Martinis, shaken and not stirred, as Bond had stipulated, and some slivers of lemon peel in a wine glass. Bond twisted two of them and let them sink to the bottom of his drink."
Smirnoff once again teams up with Bond in new advertising campaign
Diageo-owned Smirnoff Vodka has announced its official partnership with the world's most famous secret agent in the next James Bond film, Quantum of Solace, which is set for global release in November 2008.
James Bond and Smirnoff have gone hand in hand for more than 50 years. The close partnership between Smirnoff Vodka and Bond began in 1962's Dr. No, when the villain hands Sean Connery a "Martini, shaken not stirred" made with Smirnoff Vodka.

Frederick Tunnicliffe was born and bred on the land and spent the first nineteen years of his life in the beautiful countryside of East Cheshire.
After studying at the Macclesfield School of Art he won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art in London, gaining his teaching diploma and a further scholarship to study in the RCA's new Etching and Engraving School.
His excellent work gained his diploma with distinction, in 1923. He stayed on in London to develop a career as an etcher and engraver, producing some of his finest work during this time.
In 1928 he returned to Macclesfield, earning his living mainly from commercial artwork, much of it from the farming industry. Charles Tunnicliffe had a long association with Henry Williamson illustrating such famous novels as Tarka the Otter, Salar the Salmon and the Peregrine's Saga, along with a further five other titles.
In the early 1940's he took up a post at Manchester Grammar School, as a teacher of Art – he visited Anglesey during his holiday breaks.
He was a regular contributor to the Royal Academy and was elected as an associate in 1944, becoming a Royal Academician in 1954. He took great pride in exhibiting his work at the Royal Academy, and in 1974 his work was shown in a much acclaimed personal "Members Exhibition" at the RA. Charles and his wife Winifred moved from Cheshire to Anglesey in 1947, to live at Shorelands in Malltraeth, where he lived until his death in 1979.

I have a problem with my needle collection – it's getting old. Old might not be a problem for metal needles, but I have a lot of wood needles in my stash and they start to splinter and split after years of use. So I was really excited when the awesome folks at Knitter's Pride offered me a test set of Karbonz.
Nothing like a set of interchangables to revitalize an aging collection of tools. Now, I like quality knitting tools (I own more than one set of signatures) and I'm not a huge fan of aluminum needles (true fact: they bend as I use them. Maybe I should learn to relax?) These Karbonz needles feel like quality right when you take them out of the case.
That's probably because they're made of carbon fiber, the same stuff they make high tech vehicles from! This makes them very strong, and the metal tips mean the fibers won't split with use (like my wood ones did) The carbon fiber isn't quite as smooth as metal, but it's much smoother than wood. So these needles are in the middle for grippiness. How do they perform?
And it held up to my abuse beautifully. Really, the only point that showed any wear at all is the printed size number on the side of the needle. While that is obviously just about gone after just two projects each needle is also imprinted with the size on the metal end.
Overall, I love these new needles. I'm a DPN girl when working little baby sleeves or socks. But for hats, sweaters, skirts, etc… I love working in the round. And these needles will make so many projects easier and faster. I'm excited to finish up the collar on this little red sweater and find something to cast on next!

I love my Karbonz. Happy for you that you got to try them!!
I'm a long-time Addi girl here, but maybe I ought to try the Karbonz!
If you love addis you could also try knitter's pride platina which are metal. Unless you're looking for a more textured needle in which case carbon fiber might be perfect!
Thanks for the review, Becky! I tend to use wood or bamboo needles, but I wear them out – maybe I'll look into the Karbonz next time I need to replace something.
I've had good luck gently sanding the tips of wooden needles, then rubbing them with a little wax. It doesn't fix them permanently but smooths over the rough patches for a while. But I think carbon fiber could be a better long term solution!
Thanks, Becky, for the reply. I knew nothing about the knitter's pride platina (going now to check it out). I'm assuming the carbon fiber, being more textured, may slow my knitting speed down. I also don't have a problem with a needle being "too" slippery.
I've changed over to Karbonz for my sock knitting as I found myself gripping yarn too hard. The Karbonz are the right amount of grippy and slippy. Glad you've found them to be comfortably to knit with.
I'm sorry you got a set with a defect. I'm not affiliated with Knitter's Pride so I don't know what their arrangement is with their distributors. I hope when you went back to the store where you bought them that they were able to help.
Thank you….I am still searching for the needle that works for me. I an new at knitting and find the aluminum too slippery and the straight needles unwieldy. I paid a lot of money for an interchangeable and the tip fell out of the metal. :-[ After reading this I spoke with the company and my tip is in the mail, no questions asked. but I ramble, I just wanted to thank you for this review.

A Florida man who went by the nickname "the Monkey Whisperer" has been charged in federal court with illegally transporting and selling primates, including a species considered endangered, according to an indictment unsealed Wednesday. Jimmy Wayne Hammonds, 57, of Parrish, was charged with conspiracy, trafficking and submitting a false record in violation of the Lacey Act, a federal law involving the illegal trade in wildlife, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida. Prosecutors said Hammonds owned and operated a wildlife breeding and sales business called The Monkey Whisperer, LLC, through which he tried to sell a capuchin monkey to a buyer in California, even though the buyer could not legally own the animal.

The Baltimore Ravens have got the running game down pat, as evidenced by their back-to-back seasons with more than 3,000 yards rushing. Baltimore allowed fewer than 19 points per game and limited the prolific Buffalo offense to a touchdown and a field goal in a second-round playoff loss last weekend. Quite simply, the Ravens need a robust passing game to supplement an offense that for the past three years has relied more heavily on quarterback Lamar Jackson's running ability than his downfield throws.

Whales Dying From Plastic Pollution Are a Grave Reminder to Give Up Our Addiction to Plastics
Plastic pollution in our oceans has become an issue that can't be avoided any longer. With the number of whales dying from plastic pollution on the rise (not to mention many other marine animals), we must face our plastic addiction head on.
Plastic pollution is not only impacting our waters and marine life, but also the human food chain, and our overall health. How do we plan on living healthfully if we treat our oceans with so much disrespect?
We are now producing over 300 million tons of plastic every year, half of which is for single use. More than 8 million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year.
Plastic bags are one of the worst, with around 500 billion plastic bags being used annually. More than one million bags are used every minute.
Once plastic pollution ends up in the ocean, it becomes entangled on the bodies of marine mammals, or ends up in their stomachs.

EXCLUSIVE: Please don't blame tennis for Melbourne's latest COVID-19 outbreak, says Todd Woodbridge
By Brett Graham
Australian champion Todd Woodbridge has pleaded with the public not to blame tennis for Melbourne's latest COVID outbreak.
Today's play at Melbourne Park has been suspended, after an Australian Open quarantine worker tested positive to coronavirus.
Up to 600 people associated with the tournament, including players and staff, have been identified as casual contacts and are isolating until they receive a negative test result.
Woodbridge, the winner of 22 grand slam doubles titles, said it was unfair to put the blame for the outbreak on the sport.
"The reality is that this is going to be our life for the next year or so," Woodbridge told Wide World of Sports.

"I'm a little frustrated with people blaming the Australian Open, and tennis, for it happening.
"The reality is, in Victoria, we need to open up and get moving. We have to work out a way we do that, and tennis is the catalyst for making it happen.
"Other states have had an issue like this from quarantine, whether it be Queensland, New South Wales or Western Australia, and they've managed to deal with it quite quickly and get it under control.
"This is something that's been happening around the country, not just because of the tennis. We only had a handful of cases out of the 1200 people who arrived, less than one percent. We had more cases in returned travellers than we did from the tennis cohort."
Rod Laver Arena, Australian Open (AP)
Woodbridge noted that contingency plans would have been developed for situations like what we've seen in the last 24 hours, with tournament officials working around the clock to establish what can be done.
He pointed out that adapting to changing circumstances is what the winter codes did so well.
"I would hope people don't blame sport for this. Every code of sport in Australia is trying to do the same thing, and everything will be done as safely as possible to get the tournament running," he said.
"If that means having no fans and the playing group being tested every day, that's a worst-case scenario the tournament would look at.

"We have to remember what football did for the psyche of everybody around Australia, whether that be AFL or NRL.
"It was at a time when people were struggling, and sport helped lift those spirits. Many people I've spoken to said that without football they would have struggled through the winter.
"There were changes almost weekly to ensure those codes got through their competitions, so they'll be the adjustments Tennis Australia will be working through at the moment with the government, the Premier's office, and the health and justice authorities, to make sure everything is covered."

Woodbridge said that while Australian Open plans are currently in limbo, the situation should be much clearer within 24-48 hours, and he remained confident the tournament can start on Monday as scheduled.
"At this point, yes. But as this last year has told us, we have to be ready for anything," he explained.
"My hope is that for everyone who has made the sacrifices to get the tournament up, the internationals who've come here and put themselves through what they have, that we get that opportunity.
"It's a scenario that nobody wanted to see, and it's a bit of a case of hoping that that particular case has had no community transmission.
"My instinct tells me, that because of the protocols in place, the playing group will be fine, because of the testing and isolation that they have."
Tennis Australia boss Craig Tiley (Getty)
With the ATP Cup currently in progress, as well as a number of ATP and WTA lead-up tournaments, the loss of a day's play places pressure on the schedule to get the matches completed in time for the Australian Open.
But Woodbridge explained there's a number of ways that could happen.
"I think there'll be an adjustment to this particular week," he said.
"What that looks like will come down to more negotiations between the tours. There are plenty of options available, maybe going to shorter scoring formats to get through the matches.
"Much will depend on what happens today, and whether we can play tomorrow."
Nick Kyrgios (Getty)
The players have been noticeably quiet since the news broke last night, with hardly any commenting on the situation via their social media outlets, despite the fact many now have plenty of time on their hands as they isolate.
"I'm sure it will frustrate the players, because they will feel they've done everything asked of them," Woodbridge said.
"But there's an understanding as well, now they've been out in the community, they sense the nervousness of the locals who've been through a lot.
"Melburnians have worked hard to get to this point, and the players get it.
"They'll do everything they're asked. They're now part of the community here, they feel safe, and they want to keep it that way, and also get on with the tennis."

When creating a DVD Video, you can set the video quality and the audio format to produce good quality discs.
Click Tools >> Settings >> DVD Video Options.
Choose the video quality from the dropdown. High Quality creates the best videos but takes the maximum space on the disc. You can record the videos of about one hour in duration.
Good Quality lies between the Standard Play and High Quality. It records for about one hour 30 minutes. In Standard Play quality, the quality is balanced with the duration. You can record up to two hours of video on the disc. In Standard long play, the quality lies between Standard and Long Play option. The duration of created video DVD is 2 hours and 30 minutes. With Long play quality, more data can be squeezed on the disc but not all players can play these videos. It can fit about three hours of video but the quality is like that of a video CD.
There are two Audio Formats available, Dolby Digital and MPEG 1 Layer 2. Dolby Digital (originally known as AC3 - Audio Codec 3) adds rich surrounding sound for both DVD and CD. MPEG 1 Layer 2 is used for audio broadcasting. It offers high compatibility so that you can play them back on any player.

A nice shot of a gull and the fells.
Those ducks should be on a wall somewhere.
The ubiquitous shot along the jetty.
A bit of a squall on the fells.
The morning of the first walk. What would today bring, looking at this sky, you'd be pessimistic!
A shaft of sunlight hits Derwentwater.
A fell runner tackles Cat Bells.
Looking into the valley as we climb above the snow line.
This stormy sky suggests a bad day, but it turned out to be PERFECT!
Me on the path up to High Spy.
Just a smattering of blue sky, but all day, we had NO rain.
The sun hits the fells.
On top of High Spy.
Looking across to crags from the summit.
Dale end summit & a fantastic sky.
Looking back down the Newlands valley on a perfect day.
Some stunning views from Dale Head, on a perfect day.
Someone with a sense of humour!
Always a snowman on the tops!
Looking back to the summit of Dale end.
Looking to Buttermere & Crummock water.
The ridge path down, below the snow line.
A lovely view of Skiddaw from our hotel balcony.
After that fantastic walk around Newlands, we were elated and ready for day two.
Striding Edge. We set off from the valley on a crisp, cold day. There was a bit of snow on the tops, but we hoped it would stay dry and bright.
The higher we climbed, the more it snowed.
This was our last view of our goal before a white out - Striding Edge.
Looking across Ullwater valley from hole in the wall.
OK - let's play a game - where's the path????
A bleak sight!!! This snow was getting worse, and driving at us at 45 degrees, not good.
This was where I made the decision that today, we would turn back. Our tracks on the path behind us were covered in a matter of minutes with fresh snow.
At last we come out of the snow, and reach 'the hole in the wall'.
After this, we made a safe exit, and lived to walk another day!
I'm freezing after looking at all that snow, Les. But magnificent photos as usual.


Cannabis events are becoming as frequent as major league baseball games- there are tons, and they aren't all worth attending. But these 3 are.
It used to be that the only cannabis event worth attending was the Cannabis Cup. Americans put the Cup, held in Amsterdam, on their covert bucket lists and quietly prepared to make the transatlantic voyage to the holy land of weed. Those days are gone. Vast legalization in America and around the world has given way to thousands of new cannabis events. The problem: not all events are worth attending. Take a look at this list of the top 3 cannabis events you should attend in the second half of 2016.
Following two years of sold out success, State of Marijuana returns this September 26-27th to the Queen Mary cruise ship in Long Beach, California. The event is designed to bring together the "who's who" of the cannabis industry for a series of educational panels as well as networking opportunities.
This year's speakers will feature Jesse Stanley, from the Stanley Brothers, who changed the world with their hemp extracts, Charlotte's Web. Also speaking will be Stephen DeAngelo founder of Harborside Health Center, Frenchy Cannoli, and Yamileth Bolanos.
Register here for the event. I won't be speaking, but I'll absolutely be there!
Blazing in on the heels of its successful New York City event, the Cannabis World Congress & Business Exposition returns to Los Angeles for its 3rd annual event. The CWCBExpo screams opportunity for those looking to enter or expand their involvement in the cannabis industry.
You will be exposed to hundreds of the industry's finest companies and products and also have the pleasure of listening to former professional athletes Jake Plummer, Nate Jackson, Lorenzo Neal, and Riley Cote. Their experiences as professional athletes who have embraced the healing powers of cannabis positions them as some of the most influential voices in the industry.
Be sure to register for this event here, you won't regret it!
Santa Rosa, California hosts the 4th annual Emerald Cup this December 10th and 11th. The Emerald Cup is a showcase of the world's best outdoor organic cannabis. Similar to the Cannabis Cup, but certainly more intimate, the Emerald Cup is your opportunity to witness the future of the cannabis industry, while sampling the success of others.
This year's Emerald Cup will be serenaded by Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley. Last year's Cup hosted over 20,000 people, a number that dwarfed the 2014 attendance.
Be sure to get your tickets soon, early bird specials end August 16th. You can register here.
Attending all of the cannabis events around the globe can be time consuming and expensive. Use this list to help plan your "canna-tourism" efficiently. There is a solid mix of education, networking, getting high, and fun (those last 2 are the same right?) at these events. Do yourself a favor and signup! Hope to see you at one of these events!
Will you be attending one of these cannabis events? Let us know on social media or in the comments below. Who knows, we might see you there!

Santo Sorge (Mussomeli, January 11, 1908 – New York, May, 1972) was a Sicilian Mafioso living in the United States. His exact role has never been very clear; he was one of the great 'unknowns' of the Sicilian and American Mafia. He was one of the highest-level Sicilian Mafia leaders in his time. His counsel was sought in important decisions affecting the American Mafia as well. He traveled extensively between Italy and the United States.

Mafia career
Sorge was a relative of Sicilian Mafia boss Giuseppe Genco Russo. His first problems with the judicial authorities go back to 1928 in his hometown Mussomeli for brawling and grievous bodily harm. The charges were dismissed when the peasant accusing him retracted, offering his apologies for causing trouble. In 1932 he was convicted in Paris (France) to six months' incarceration and a fine of 1,200 French francs for forgery and using a false passport. A year later he was convicted in Ghent (Belgium) to five months and 20,000 Belgian francs for fraud.

Other sentences for fraud and bad checks followed in Palermo in 1937 and in Turin in 1939. In 1948 he was convicted to three years and four months on unclear charges for 'political conspiracy' in Florence (probably related to espionage). Meanwhile, he moved to the United States. He became a naturalized US citizen living in New York City, and maintained a respectable front in America, through directorships in front companies such as Rimrock International Oil Company of New York and the Foreign Economic Research Association.

Lieutenant of Luciano
He was considered to be a lieutenant of Lucky Luciano in the post-World War II heroin business, trafficking heroin produced in France by Corsican gangsters to the US. The opium needed to produce the heroin was cultivated in Turkey and Iran. The opium was processed into morphine base, after it was transported across Syria into Lebanon. From Beirut, Lebanon, or Aleppo, Syria, the morphine base was shipped to clandestine laboratories in France for conversion into heroin.

Sorge, an articulate and well looking man with a good education, was probably in charge of moving the money. Owing to his friendship with Genco Russo, he had the right high political contacts in Italy, even among government members. He used companies in the US, Sicily and Panama.

Grand Hotel des Palmes Mafia meeting
Sorge was present at series of meetings between top American and Sicilian mafiosi that took place in Palermo between October 12–16, 1957, in the Grand Hotel Delle Palme in Palermo. Joseph Bonanno, Lucky Luciano, John Bonventre, Frank Garofalo and Carmine Galante were among the American Mafiosi present, while among the Sicilian side there were Salvatore "Ciaschiteddu" Greco and his cousin Salvatore "The Engineer" Greco, Giuseppe Genco Russo, Angelo La Barbera, Gaetano Badalamenti, Calcedonio Di Pisa, Totò Minore and Tommaso Buscetta.

According to some, one of the main topics on the agenda was the organization of the heroin trade on an international basis. The FBI believed it was this meeting that established the Bonanno crime family in the heroin trade. Sorge apparently was key to the meeting, which did not start before he arrived in Palermo, although Bonanno, Bonventre and Galante had already spent some days in Sicily. The meeting ended when Sorge left Palermo.

Indicted
In August 1965, Sorge and 16 others associated with the Sicilian and American Mafia were indicted in Palermo by judge Aldo Vigneri for criminal conspiracy and narcotics and currency rackets in relation with 1957 meeting. Also indicted were Joe Bonanno, John Bonventre, Carmine Galante, Gaspare Magaddino, John Priziola, Raffaele Quasarano, Frank Coppola and Joe Adonis. Sorge was never arrested although Italy sought his extradition. The case against the accused was dismissed for insufficient evidence in June 1968.

In 1967, Sorge sued the city of New York and two retired senior New York police men, John F. Shaney and Ralph Salerno of the NYPD's special unit on organized crime, in a defamation and libel case asking US$418,000 in damages. Salerno had testified in 1965 before judge Vigneri of the Palermo Criminal Court, that Sorge had close relationships with Luciano, Vito Genovese, Galante and Bonanno.

Top Mafia boss
According to Sorge the retired officers provided false information, who admitted that they could not prove their allegations with certainty. According to Salerno, Sorge "was interested in Cosa Nostra in general for which he maintains public relations." The libel suit was dismissed in March 1968. Sorge also brought a libel suit against Parade Publications for US$1.16 million on the basis of a magazine article by Jack Anderson published on January 21, 1962, which had said that Sorge was listed by Harry Anslinger, the former Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, as the number five boss in the top ten bosses of the American underworld.

Judge Vigneri had also gone to visit Mafia turncoat Joe Valachi, who told him: "I know Santo Sorge and I know he belongs to the Cosa Nostra. It is my personal knowledge that his function was to go and come from America to Italy and vice-versa, carrying out tasks that I don't know. I was never able to understand to what family he belongs. He was a close friend of all Cosa Nostra bosses." He was very close with Carlo Gambino, the head of the Gambino crime family in New York City.

If you said, "Law-abiding immigrants who assimilate into the culture and add to the tax base benefit America," I could not agree more. However, that's not an apt description of American immigration anymore. Illegals certainly aren't law-abiding and immigrants are no longer strongly encouraged to assimilate into our culture, although some do anyway. Moreover, the MAJORITY of immigrant families are on the dole in some way, shape, or form. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, "In 2014, 63 percent of households headed by a non-citizen reported that they used at least one welfare program, compared to 35 percent of native-headed households." How does allowing people into the United States who leech off the citizens who are already here benefit the country? Could we design an immigration system that benefits the United States? Absolutely, but the one we have isn't it and, in fact, if we stopped all immigration except for those marrying into American families for the foreseeable future, the country would be better off than if we continue what we're doing.
If government were the size that fiscally responsible conservatives and libertarians THINK IT SHOULD BE, then the middle class would indeed be overtaxed. However, that is not the world we live in. Instead, we've built a truly massive government, asked the rich to pay for most of it, and then borrowed to finance most of the rest instead of asking the middle class to pay THEIR FAIR SHARE.
According to CBO calculations, low-income households earn five percent of the nation's income but pay just one percent of all federal taxes. Middle-income households earn 14 percent of national income but shoulder 9 percent of all federal taxes. Even those households in the upper-middle class bear a lower tax burden than their share of national income. The top one percent of households (which starts at $500,000 for a two-person household) pay 25 percent of all federal taxes, still significantly more than their share of the nation's income.
If these government programs are worth doing, then we should be willing to go to the middle class and ask them to pay a fair share of their income to pay for them. Of course, the reality is that most of these programs aren't worth doing and it's a lot more politically painless at the moment to borrow the money than to ask middle-class Americans to pay more in taxes. If the middle class truly had to pay their fair share to keep these government programs going, then you'd undoubtedly see the size of government shrink rapidly. There are an awful lot of politicians committed to making sure that never happens.
As Rand Paul once said, "If there was a war on women, I think they won." Many people point to the men on top, but percentage-wise, there are very few of them. Meanwhile, men get longer jail sentences than women for the same crimes and make up the vast majority of homicide victims and combat deaths in the military. In addition, women make up 56 percent of college students, women win 80 percent of the child custody cases, men kill themselves at four times the rate that women do, and on average, women live five years longer than men do. To argue that we are living in a patriarchy where women get the short end of the stick, you have to ignore mountains of evidence that suggest the alternate conclusion.
Democrats have long since abandoned the idea character matters for politicians and Republicans have moved away from the idea as well in the post-Bill Clinton era. The problem with this is that politicians are kind of like used car salesmen. You sort of expect them to be a little sleazy, but when that sleaziness provokes shoulder shrugs instead of anger, they go over the top. Next thing you know, they're sticking a go-cart engine in the car you're buying and people are saying, "Well, gee, what did you expect?" We've now gotten to the point where Barrack Obama can sell the American people on a new entitlement program that was sold with lies from start to finish and not pay any serious price for it. Marco Rubio can campaign for the Senate as an immigration hardliner, betray everyone who took him at his word by pushing amnesty, and still be considered a serious presidential contender. Trump lies about anything and everything, but as long as he throws in some funny comments about Elizabeth Warren — who herself moved her professional career forward by lying about being an Indian — no one cares. It's no coincidence that faith in government, the effectiveness of government, and the seriousness with which politicians took their jobs all seemed to crater at about the same time that the public as a whole gave up on expecting any sort of character from politicians.
While you might be able to make the argument that diversity of thought is a strength, diversity itself is a weakness. In fact, much of the political infighting, hatred, and disagreement in modern American politics centers around diversity. Every disagreement between a liberal minority and non-liberal white American is summed up as racism. Every failing of a woman or female disagreement with a man is summed up as sexism. We can't have a sane immigration policy because it's declared as racism against Hispanics. Accusations of racism and sexism have almost completely replaced arguments and rational thought on the Left because who needs to have good ideas if you can just argue that your opponents' arguments are invalid because they're bad people?
As a little thought experiment, imagine two million people typical in every way except for the fact that they are green and they show up in every nation on earth. Within six months' time, Democrats would declare that Republicans hate green people; a green Jesse Jackson would shake down corporations for being insufficiently supportive; BuzzFeed would run articles saying that America is full of hate because some 15-year-old white kid teased a green kid; Hulk movies would be banned and declared racist. All across the planet, the more diversity you see in culture, the more strife, bloodshed and, problems you see.


Learn the newest information about residential and commercial real estate in the Seattle space and Pacific Northwest. However, business actual estate is commonly extra useful per sq. foot and its leases are longer, which theoretically ensures a more predictable revenue stream. With higher revenue comes higher responsibility; nonetheless, industrial rental actual estate is more closely regulated than residential real property and these rules can differ not only from nation to nation and state by state, but in addition by county and city. Even within cities, zoning rules add a layer of unwanted complexity to commercial real estate investments.
The real estate agent also attends business conferences and seminars to remain updated with current trends in addition to sustain their contacts and professional network. They must additionally sustain with all the available properties in the space, subsequently going to agent open houses each week is crucial with a view to preserve as current as potential.
The Virgin Islands GOP PAC has raised $5.7 million since its inception in February 2015. It has spent $seventy six,000 — simply 1.3 % — on congressional candidates, together with $3,500 to Zinke's marketing campaign and SEAL PAC, a subsequent group he launched after his election to the Home. The properties at risk by 2045 presently house 550,000 people and contribute almost $1.5 billion towards right now's property tax base. These numbers leap to about four.7 million folks and $12 billion by 2100.
To obtain a broker's license, people generally need 1 to 3 years of experience as a licensed gross sales agent. In addition they should take additional formal coaching courses. In some states, a bachelor's degree may be substituted instead of some expertise or coaching necessities. After 23 years as a Navy SEAL, Ryan Zinke retired from the military in 2008 and returned to Whitefish, the mountain city of roughly 6,000 individuals the place he grew up and the place his father and grandfather ran a plumbing enterprise.
Office size for real estate brokers and gross sales agents can vary from a one-individual business to a large firm with quite a few department offices. Many brokers have franchise agreements with national or regional actual estate companies. Beneath this arrangement, the dealer pays a price to be affiliated with a broadly recognized real property group.

The upcoming exhibition by Bernd R. Alder is dedicated to the theme " Urban Nature " especially. A city life itself is mapped on his paintings. The green zones and the lake in the town are therefore at the center, thus green is one of the main colors of this performance. The works by the artist is based on an expressionist approach. The images are characterized by a conscious composition of blue, yellow, red and green, which are bright and this gives the paintings an explicit intensity. The colors are both linear and blotchy set side by side and in contrast, you also find harmoniously painted images. Brushwork is evident; with the brush direction differs with each plant. Details on the pictures to be handled with the help of simplified forms. A work of Alder thus influences mental state of a viewer and green must also ensure a balancing and regenerating the spectator, thereby mainly positive thinking triggered. The color melody in the image represents therefore a communication between the artist and the audience.
Bernd Alder studied at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris and Montpellier. Anatomical characters fresco technique and expressionist painting made focus of his studies. The artist lives and works in Zurich and also in southern France. His role models famous painters such as Matisse, Kandinsky, Delacroix and Van Gogh are counted.

Nodes in Cancer & Capricorn
Mind & Heart
On November 6th, the North and South Nodes switched signs into Cancer and Capricorn. Pause. If you're an astrology newbie—or you just want a refresher course—read THIS article I wrote about the Nodes in and of themselves and what their significance is in the study of astrology.
Put simply, the Nodes are representative of what we are trying to move away from (the South Node) and what we are trying to move towards (the North Node). When the South Node is occupying a sign, it's bringing out the "worse" traits of that sign and teaching us to not do that. Across the sky is the North Node, showing us the "best" qualities of its sign and encouraging us to do that instead. The Nodes always occupy opposing signs.
Until May 2020, we are going to be encouraged to stop being so Capricorn and be more Cancer.
The dichotomy of these two signs can be summed up as the dichotomy between home and office, or that illusive work-life balance that HR people like to tout.
Cancer is emotional and can be very introverted. She's ruled by the Moon, who only "comes out" at night. She represents motherhood and care, so how we care for ourselves and others. It's our home—where we feel most safe and secure. Cancer doesn't run on logic; she moves from one place to another based on how she feels and her intuition.
Capricorn, by contrast, is logical, grounded, and wants to get work done. He (some people say that all Earth signs are feminine, but for purposes of my dichotomy, and just how I understand astrology myself, Capricorn is masculine to me) is ruled by the planet Saturn, and honestly Saturn can be a real dick sometimes. He's all about the rules, responsibility, and doesn't have time for any BS. Capricorn shows us how to aim for the peak—picture a goat summiting a mountain—and put in the work to get there.
However, while we need both of these energies as a general matter, what's the negative side of Capricorn that we need to release from our lives?
Obsessive reliance on logic and reason, for starters. Being convinced that unless the explanation is physically laid out in front of us, we shouldn't do something. Constantly aiming for something more at the expense of appreciating the gifts in front of us. Being so stoic, pessimistic, and, well, Saturnian all the time. Ignoring our intuition and what we are emotionally and spiritually drawn to because it doesn't "add up" reasonably and logically. Capricorn also likes to be recognized for his accomplishments. He wants to be pat on the back and for people to know his name. He's not fame hungry in the same dramatic way as Leo, for example, but he wants everyone to know he's the best at what he does.
Especially for earth and air types, this is a big request to just put our intellectualizing to the side and…GASP… go with our gut? Wah?!
Instead, we're going to be encouraged to find our guidance from within. We'll be training our intuition and training ourselves to trust that intuition as a spiritual compass towards the thing our soul desires. We'll have to tune out our human need for reasons and logic and rely on trust that we're being guided somewhere for a reason. We need to seek out and make space for what we desire deep down, even if we don't yet understand how it's going to happen. We're here to fulfill our soul's true purpose; achievement for the sake of achievement and notoriety is not the point.
Other Transits
On the day that the Nodes changed signs, Uranus also changed signs in retrograde back into Aries, and the Nodes will be squaring Aries until February 2019. What this indicates to me is the request of the Universe that during this transit, we don't just go about our business. We're going to be asked to dramatically change our lives on the most fundamental level. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and deals with our basic identity and how we defend ourselves in the world.
This square is a challenge of turning one corner or the other. We can either work towards increasing our intuition, being in touch with our feelings, and taking action from that place, or continue demanding an explanation for everything and aiming high for the sake of getting there. Do we want to be the person who lives our life according to what intuitively feels right, seeking emotional fulfillment, or do we want to continue to toil and work hard for the sake of working hard, even if what we're working on doesn't fulfill our soul?
In 2019, the stakes will be raised. In February the South Node will start conjuncting the queen planet of death and transformation, Pluto. The next month Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn (see previous explanation), will join the party, and the three of them will be in a conjunction until that Fall. Pluto and Saturn are two planets that mean serious business, so both of them hitting the South Node together is going to intensify that energy.
Pluto's involvement is similar to what the Uranus square is asking of us at the beginning of this Node placement. We need to transform our life by eliminating the old reliance on human logic and reason and replacing it with intuitive flow with what our soul and the Universe are directing us to. We'll be asked to let something demise so that something better can arise from the ashes.
The conjunction with Saturn is ironic—we're supposed to be moving away from Capricorn energy, and here we are meeting up with Capricorn's ruler. I think this will just intensify the need to change and evolve. If we don't make moves before Spring 2020 to start this process, it might just become more urgent as Saturn starts bearing down on the South Node. It will make it much more obvious and unavoidable where it is that we aren't allowing ourselves to go with the flow of intuition and emotional craving and where we're sticking to our uptight logic.
By the end of next year in December, happy ol' Jupiter will be making a conjunction to the South Node as well. While Jupiter doesn't like it in Capricorn very much, his very nature is optimistic and expansive, so he'll usher in some of that energy to the work we're doing with the Nodes. Don't get comfy and think that there's no reason to continue to challenge yourself, because look! Jupiter is dang happy over here! Why would I try to avoid that and keep moving towards the North Node in Cancer? Instead, look at it as some compassion to view our human tendency for logic and reason as a blessing that helps us get things done, but that there's more to our experience than our physical humanity. We can find a way to bridge between the physical and the spiritual and appreciate both parts of ourselves.
This time of collectively experiencing the South Node in Capricorn and the North Node in Cancer will help us all to see our spiritual and emotional sides as just as valuable of a guiding light as our human logic. While we can never—and should never—completely abandon the reasoning part of ourselves, losing sight of the magic of the Universe and forces that exist beyond our vision will help us realize that there is something greater than ourselves at work here, and that greatness might just have a better way of helping us reach our dreams than we do.
