At this point, you don't even have to be on the Internet at all to still be able to recognize the name, Facebook. It's the largest of the social networking websites, meaning that it brings together friends, family, co-workers and more and provides you with the tools you need to share your lives, such as photos, videos, links, notes, games and more.
The thing about Facebook is that it also has a few ways to to help you support the cause you are passionate about, let's say…. Autism!
Causes is the section of Facebook where you can donate to your favourite charities or even invite others to donate, or simply join with you. The causes you join will appear on your main profile page in the Info tab. This will also keep you in the loop of what they are doing, providing they send out periodic newsletters or updates (not all of them do).
Causes is a great way to give/donate and to show who you support, but not a huge inroads into the community. But it's definitely a great place to start.
There are a lot of Autism Groups but a Group is basically considered to be an extension of a personal account. As such, you can join them and share amongst the group but keep in mind that they're most likely to be people like you and I administering them and doing with them as they please.
That's definitely not a bad thing, the goal is to make the most of the online Autism community and as such, these groups are invaluable for discussing the topics of the group.
Groups are NOT indexed by search engines such as Google, so what ever you do there is within the confines of the group. If you are shy or just getting started, finding a small'ish group of like minded individuals discussing a topic you feel strongly about is a great way to get started.
For discussing causes in general, groups offer you the best freedoms as they aren't usually specific to a person or company or brand.
Pages are basically profile pages but instead of people, they're companies, organizations, celebrities, products… just about anything to be truly honest but usually is a thing or person. For example, you would make a Group on people who love bananas while you'd make a Page on banana peels… and people would become fans.
Speaking of which, instead of being friends of these Pages, you are instead a fan.
As a fan, discussion is often limited to the discussion forums, rather than right on the wall (although many do allow wall posts) and discussions are almost always confined to the top of the Page itself. For example, the Autism Speaks Facebook Page is a place to discuss Autism Speaks, not necessarily Autism in general.
Pages actually are indexed by search engines, such as Google, which means that the information found within may be read by anyone anywhere if they find it in a search.
If you are sharing links to your website, information you feel is important or you just want to get your name out there, this can be quite valuable as their pages may have well established rankings already. If you wish to ease into the community unnoticed, this might not work out well for you.
If it's information you would like to have, right from the horses mouth (so to speak), then joining Pages is a great place to start as it gives you a direct link to the people that you might otherwise have to wait on hold for hours by phone to talk to.
Of course, you can't forget the community surrounding the Page of which you join. If you support or believe in a charity strongly, joining their page and discussing that charity and their events/benefits with other supporters is a great way to get started. You can all relate and share common goals.
Events almost take care of themselves as you begin joining Groups and Pages, as any events they hold will automatically be sent to your notifications… however, you may want to know what events are being held without knowing what Groups or Pages to join ahead of time, for that you use the search.
The Events search allows you to search by keyword, just like everything else but it also allows you to drill down which 'type' of event you wish to find, such as 'causes'. You can also narrow down the time line, should you be out of town for the next week but want to see what's happening in 2 weeks.
Events can consist of just about anything that you can attend… concerts, walks, runs, bbq's, sporting events… you name it. If it's something you could be at, it'll be listed as an Event.
By now, you should have noticed that each link in each section already takes you to the search, just different parts of it. This really shouldn't even need to be covered but it does need to be and this is why: most people forget it exists!!
On just about every single page of Facebook that you can visit, there is a white box at the very top with the word 'Search' on the left and a magnifying glass on the right.
This little magical box will start auto filling in listings for you as you type, which is very handy, but in this case, I implore you to ignore it. Type in your desire, for example, 'Autism' and let it fill in the listings… and then mouse to the very bottom of the list where it says 'See More Results for Autism' and click on that.
This is what will take you to the search results page with the filter on the left, which allows you to be more specific with Groups, Pages, Events and more. You can even see what friends are saying about Autism or everyone else (if their privacy settings allow it).
If your favourite Autism group, charity, magazine, etc is on Facebook, this is a great way to find them.
Facebook is mostly about friends and family and connecting with people you haven't heard from in a while, but it can be a valuable tool for finding like minded people or even hearing from (or talking to) corporations/charities that you can't otherwise get that close to.
Never ever forget that search bar is there, use it to find what you are interested in. Also, let your mouse clicks take you forward using the 'Favorite Pages' box in the left column.
Many Groups and Pages are able to pick other Groups and Pages to be members/fans of themselves and will list them in a box in the left column for you to see. Naturally, these will be something that should coincide with the Group or Page you are already looking at. You may find others that also share your interests.
Once you are searching and going from Group to Group or Page to Page, you'll quickly find a lot of people who share your thoughts and feelings and when you do, you'll either form friendships on those pages or those people will be sending you friend requests to actually begin sharing more of your lives than just your thoughts on a specific topic.
Before you know it, your newsfeed, notifications, messages and even your friend list will be filling up quickly. Add in those Events and you'll be meeting new people face to face and taking the 'online' Autism community to the next level!
That was really informative. Thanks for the link to autism groups – a big help!

Mount Ecclesia
The boy watches his father chop the wood into sizable chunks, preparing kindling for the nightly fire.
The boy — roughly six years old and full of life — collects sticks, mimicking his father as he crouches slowly and carefully to gather the logs, holding them tightly as he rises with the same speed.
The boy watches as his father lays down the firewood in its designated spot, wipes his brow with a tattered rag, then stares into the distance. He doesn't gaze aimlessly into the evening sky; instead, he admires a mountain far off in the distance.
The boy has often thought about this mysterious mountain: how far away it sits; how high its mighty peaks rise to the heavens; what secrets lie at the top.
All the boy knows is that the mountain has been there his whole life. Maybe even longer.
The father notices the boy staring at the mountain as well, and sees his face growing curious. The father knows it is never a good idea to keep a child curious for long.
"That is Mount Ecclesia," he says to his bewildered firstborn. "It is not for you, a boy so passionate and full of life; it is for those who long for a journey, for those who find themselves empty and searching."
"Has anyone made it to the top?" the boy asks.
"Many have taken the journey, but few have returned. There are tales that one man made it to the top, but he has never been seen since."
The father, noticing his son's longing for answers, takes him by the hand and leads him inside for dinner, away from the view of the mountain. The boy continues to stare, attempting to quench his curiosity.
Before they enter, the father — hoping to settle his son's inquisitiveness for now — pauses and looks into his eyes. "There is a time to search, son. That time is just not yet."
20 years later:
The boy is now a man. Time has passed, and life has become difficult.
There is famine and destruction in the land. The father has died of disease, and the man finds himself feeling meaningless and empty as a result.
He remembers his father's words of long ago:
"There is a time to search…"
After 26 years of living, the man decides to climb the mountain.
The mountain boasts a large sign at its bottom, words visible only to those who intend to read it.
"Mount Ecclesia: Deny yourself nothing your eyes desire; refuse your heart no pleasure."
The man stands and stares at the sign, the same confused look on his face he displayed twenty yeara earlier while gazing at this same mountain. He longs for his father to tell him the sign's meaning. He misses his father.
He grabs his stick and starts walking.
After hours of travel, he arrives at the first stop of his journey. He hears upbeat music and shouting from a mile away, and as he reaches the source of the commotion, he finds himself in the midst of a giant party. There are hundreds of men barely dressed, and women wearing even less. There is dancing and feasting and a crowd of people gathered around a Hookah. Grown adults weave swiftly from person to person, dancing like they are children again.
The man decides to join the party. "I will find fulfillment here," he says.
And he does.
The man parties for three days straight. He drinks as much as he desires, dances with as many women as he wishes and laughs merrily with the other guests, all who also long to receive their fill of happiness.
But on the fourth day, the man feels even emptier than he did before arriving. He decides to move on.
After days of travel, the man comes across his second stop.
Large vineyards sweep the mountain's flat land as far as the eye can see, producing miles of mazes and an unlimited supply of sweet wine. Gardens cover the landscape, cultivating vegetables as big as giants and fruit with the colors of a kaleidoscope. Reservoirs cover the insides of the mountain, large balconies hovering over the crystal blue water that allows the breathtaking view to be captured.
The man is awestruck of the stunning beauty that surrounds him.
"I will find meaning here."
The man enjoys the great projects for weeks, spending endless hours among the mighty vineyards, tending the gardens and enjoying the limitless splendor that warms his soul.
But a few weeks pass, and the man begins to feel meaningless again, even stronger than before. He decides, once again, to climb the mountain. He continues to search.
The man reaches a cave near the top of the mountain — his third stop.
He enters the cave and his jaw drops instantly to the floor. Piles and piles of gold and silver, the treasure of kings, rise high and wide towards the ceiling of the cave. Men immerse themselves in the treasures like one lying in a bathtub, counting the innumerable fortunes that surround them.
The man is absolutely delighted and decides that this is why he has climbed the mountain. He has reached a place of pure contentment among the riches of a thousand kings.
"I will find happiness here."
The man spends the next couple years counting silver, polishing gold, and gathering more wealth. He bathes in his collection and smiles brightly as money continues to pile in.
But after a few years, the man begins to feel that dreadfully gnawing emptiness rising to the surface. He finds himself dissatisfied — always chasing more wealth, always chasing after the wind. He is discontented and now drowning in meaningless.
He decides to continue his journey up the mountain.
The man reaches the top of the mountain, expecting to be welcomed by a parade of people enjoying some great festivity. He expects to find the one thing that inevitably gives him meaning, something that will fill the gaping hole inside of him.
Instead, he finds nothing.
He sees an old man crouched near the edge of the mountain, about a half mile away, gazing out into an ocean of green grass and blooming trees.
As the man approaches, he sees the old man up-close. He sees facial features as royal as a king's but also tattered like one who has experienced great hardship.
He sees the face of someone who appears very wise, and very joyful.
The old man introduces himself as Solomon and invites the man to crouch down with him.
"You come here seeking meaning, do you not?" asks Solomon.
"I do," replies the man. "My father once told me that there is a time to search; I am doing just that. I find no meaning in life, and so I journeyed here hoping to restore that meaning. But I find nothing. It's just a meaningless mountain filled with partying, projects and money. They have no lasting pleasure. Everything is meaningless."
The old man lets out a gentle smile, grinning particularly at the last sentence like he has once wrestled with these words as well.
"Let me ask you, young man: you've climbed Mount Ecclesia in search of meaning, and you come across things the world says will make you feel whole — and some of the most incredible things at that. This mountain features the most magnificent parties, the most beautiful and innovative projects and the most amount of wealth you will ever see. Yet you still feel empty. Why do you think that is?"
The man sat in silence for a bit, not able to respond, praying this old man had the answer that he did not.
Solomon, sitting up straight and balancing himself with his cane, stares into the man's eyes, searching to find just the right words, words that are upright and true.
"Here is the conclusion of the matter: A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? You must find meaning in the daily gifts God has given us, not from the things of this world."
And with that, the old man crouched back to the ground, laying his cane down slowly and carefully. He gazes out into the great wilderness in front of him, thousands of feet above the land that the man has not walked in years. Then, softly raising his face to the sky, taking in the gentle breeze that surrounds him, he says:
"Feel the wind, young man; enjoy it. But stop chasing after it."

I recently shared my toddler's new "big boy" room but we also changed the furniture in our oldest's room. It's been busy around here! I haven't done a complete post on my 11 year-old son's room in the past but you can see what his room looked like here and here. We had been wanting to update his room for a while because it just wasn't working for him. So we recently went furniture shopping and decided it was a great idea to bring him along for his input – not the first time that one of my bright ideas was less than bright. Of course, he wanted a bunk bed and was attracted to anything "cool" and disregarded all practicality in the process.
I really wanted for him to be excited about his new room but I know that what he likes at 11 may not be what he likes at 13 or 14 so his dad and I had to take charge. I want to show you the bedroom set that we chose and why we love it, and ultimately why our son loves it too! At least now he does.
There are a lot of reasons why I love this bed but the first is that he finally has a full size bed (he previously had a twin bed) so we can comfortably get in his bed at night and chat with him before he sleeps. It's not something I do all the time, but I cherish those moments when he asks me 102 questions before falling asleep. The second reason is that this bed included a trundle as an add-on option. The trundle was an added expense and we briefly considered not getting it, but now I am so glad that we did.
It is a trundle within a trundle. It's not easy to distinguish in the picture but the trundle has a sliding shelf that allows almost double the storage.
Since all his books didn't fit inside the bookshelf, I placed some of them under the bed. On the sliding drawer, I placed felt-lined bins (from Target) to store smaller toys that end up not having a home. And that means they end up on the floor.
Ok, and how cool is this? The bedpost hides a reading light – I was kinda jealous! My son loves to read and this was a huge plus!
There is a lid towards the back of the nightstand that conceals all the cords! Seriously, how perfect is this bedroom set for kids?!
Inside that small compartment is a plug that allows all his electronics to be plugged in next to his bed.
We also purchased the desk that came with the set and the bookshelf. There were some other pieces available (a dresser and desk topper) that were great but the room was filling up and the wallet emptying by the time we tallied up the items!
One of my favorite organizing solutions in his room is being able to hang up all his skateboards and pogo stick. These were items that used to be in the garage but out-of-sight was out-of-mind and he stopped using them. We want to encourage him to be active so we brought them into his room and it has worked because he now uses them often. Since I didn't want those skateboards all over the house, I found these hooks that are probably meant for garages, but they are heavy-duty and perfect for holding bulky items. Also, I think it decorates the room a bit and adds character to the wall.
After some convincing that the bright blue bunk bed wasn't the best choice for long term, our son now loves his new room! It has been easier to keep organized now that he has so many systems in place!
Thank you, Kendra! I purchased the bed at Rooms to Go. The name of the manufacturer is SmartStuff and the specific set is called Boulder.
We found the bedding at Macy's.
This is a very nice room. I appreciate your post for young tween/teen boys. I have a son that is 12 1/2 and we have to locate nice furniture for him. Hopefully, I can find the furniture brand near my home. Thanks again. Everything looks really nice, neat, and well organized!
Was are you kidding me !! this is amazing. What do you do to make him keep it organized like that?
Haha! Thank you! The best thing I did was encourage him to donate toys that he no longer used. It was getting to the point that I couldn't give him a place for everything because of the amount of little trinket toys. After the purge, everything in his room was given a home. And yes, it still gets messy but he can now pick up very quickly.

Barbara Davis Gallery is pleased to announce shucked & silked, a solo-exhibition by New York artist Rebecca Ward, opening Friday, October 25, 2013, with an artist reception from 6:30 – 8:30PM. This exhibition consists of new paintings and a large-scale site-specific installation using tape.
Ward's work asserts its power through geometric abstraction. The artist balances line, form, and space in her painting and installation practice. While her love affair with minimalism is clear, she concurrently deconstructs the detached, fabricated aesthetics of this era by delicately stitching and unraveling canvas. She uses this language of abstraction to decisively break apart painted material and piece it back together. The paintings appropriate, rearrange, and affirm canonized iconography through feminine gesture while referencing contemporary culture and craft.
Ward weaves the colors and lines of our internet and information-saturated era with analog processes such as hand-sewing and dying canvas. By rendering digital information into handmade objects, she produces a binary but complementary system that reflects the staggering transition our world has recently undergone.
shucked & silked opens Friday, October 25, 2013, with an opening artist reception from 6:30 – 8:30PM. Artist will be in attendance. This exhibition is on view October 25, 2013 through November 30, 2013. For more information, please contact Barbara Davis Gallery at 713.520.9200 or info@barbaradavisgallery.com.
Rebecca Ward currently lives and works in New York City. She received her BA in Fine Arts from University of Texas in 2006, and an MFA in Fine Arts from School of Visual Arts in 2012. She has exhibited extensively in the United States, Europe, and South America. Museum solos include The Museum of Contemporary Art, Raleigh. Notable solo exhibitions include Ronchini Gallery, London, UK (2013), East Hampton Shed, East Hampton, NY (2013), and a two person show with Carla Accardi, Bibo's Place, Todi, Italy (2013). Her work is included in public collections including the Museum of New and Old Art, Tasmania. Ward participated in group exhibitions including Maurizio Cattellan's The Virgins at Family Business, New York (2012), curated by Marilyn Minter, Post-Op at Mixed Greens Gallery, New York (2012), among others.

Q: ScrollTo() not scrolling in FireFox Here I am with another FireFox anomaly…
As I enter data on the page, the Save button scrolls out of view, so before clicking the Save button, I call Save.ScrollTo() – this works fine in Chrome and Edge, but FF does not scroll.  If I use ScrollUp(), FireFox does scroll up, so do you have some more magic so the scrollTo works in Firefox?
Here's the trace log:

Q: Eclipse Subversive SVN client not updating local copies with new files When I update my local working copy of an SVN repository in Eclipse using the Subversive plugin it isnt bringing any new files which have been added to the SVN repository. It thinks that the local working copy is up to date and if I ask Eclipse to update it it just says no further changes.
Anyone got any ideas why this is happening?

A: I just discovered this nasty problem too.  It might be related to this bug report.
Deleting the entire tree worked for me too, but that hardly seems like a satisfactory solution.  What scares me more is wondering how I will notice that a certain file didn't get updated, if this happens again.

A: Thanks to the above bug report, this worked for me (eclipse 3.7):
Team/Update to Version...
v Update to HEAD revision (=default)

Depth: Full recursive (default is Working copy)
v Change working copy to specified depth (default is un-checked)
O Ignore externals (=default)
v Allow unversioned obstructs (=default)

I do not know if that fixes the problem permanently. At least it seems a faster solution rather than full checkout.

A: Sorry I don't have a solution to this problem, but I have it as well, and I don't have enough cred to comment.
Here is a thread describing the same issue:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=14710&start=0&
A "workaround" I found to be successful is deleting the relevant tree (of course, backing it up first) and performing an "update". I am prompted to recreate missing files, which bring the un-added files from the repo as well. Obviously this is a terrible solution, but it does work.
Another interesting effect to note is that it is one-sided. The other machine on the repo is perfectly fine with updating new files.

A: I have noticed Subversive to be a bit problematic.  While this isn't a direct solution to your problem, may I recommend using TortoiseSVN (assuming you're in Windows). It works excellently, has more power than Subversive, and is integrated with your shell making it a smooth transition.

Dubai, UAE, June 12, 2017: In this holy month of Ramadan, Skyline University College Community Services Committee headed by Dr. Mohammad Abdul Salam has organized an Iftar Dinner for its students, alumni, parents, faculty and staff along with more than 200 Sharjah laborers who were also invited to play a cricket match under the floodlights of SUC cricket ground on June 7, 2017.
People gathered just in time to break the fast period of the day inside the SUC premises and enjoyed sumptuous meals. A cricket match between Sharjah laborers was played as a way of recreation and celebration after a hard day's work and long hours of fasting. SUC recognizes the hard work and sacrifices of the laborers to provide for their families each year and in return, the Iftar dinner is being organized every year.
The SUC Iftar gathering was conducted in line with SUC's commitment to UAE's Year of Giving that extends to all people regardless of their social background. The purpose of the event is not only giving back to the society but also teaching SUC students and the whole SUC community the value of helping the needy and working together as one to promote good humanitarian activities inside and outside of the university.
Through SUC's conscious effort to promote social awareness and responsible social involvement, the Iftar dinner and cricket match have brought together Muslims and non-Muslims in a memorable, traditional Ramadan gathering.

Q: How to deserialize enum and array in .NET 5 jqgrid filter deserialization in ASP.NET 5 MVC application fails using System.Text.Json.JsonSerializer
To reproduce, run the code
var _filters ="{\"groupOp\":\"AND\",\"rules\":[{\"field\":\"Toode\",\"op\":\"cn\",\"data\":\"\"}]}";

var filtersList = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Filter>(_filters, new JsonSerializerOptions
                {
                    PropertyNameCaseInsensitive = true
                });

Result:
The JSON value could not be converted to MyApp.Controllers.GroupOp. Path: $.groupOp | LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 16.

System.Text.Json.JsonException: The JSON value could not be converted to MyApp.Controllers.GroupOp. Path: $.groupOp | LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 16.

public enum Operations
{
    eq,
    ne,
    cn,
    le
}

In .NET 4.6 it worked using
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var filtersList = serializer.Deserialize<Filter>(_filters);

How to make it work in .NET 5 ?

A: In Net 5 you have to install Newtonsoft.Json using Nuget. This code allows to deserilize
var _filters = "{\"groupOp\":\"AND\",\"rules\":[{\"field\":\"Toode\",\"op\":\"cn\",\"data\":\"\"}]}";
    var filtersList = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Filter>(_filters);

}

public class Filter
{
    public GroupOp groupOp { get; set; }
    public List<Rule> rules { get; set; }

}


WINSTON-SALEM, NC – For the second straight game, the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (9-4, 3-0 CIAA) fought back late to take a win as they defeated the Bowie State Lady Bulldogs (6-5, 1-2 CIAA), 56-51, Monday evening. After trailing for much of the game, the Lady Rams rallied in the final three minutes of play to take the win and opened Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) play with a 3-0 record.
The Lady Rams had to overcome several miscues and a tough Bowie State team to win the game. As a team, the Lady Rams struggled for much of the game, shooting 36.4% from the floor and shooting just 61.5% from the free throw line. The team also struggled with 21 turnovers as well. However, the Lady Rams were able to overcome their struggles with some solid defense as the team held Bowie State to shooting 30.4% from the floor and forced 23 turnovers. The Lady Rams also outrebounded the Lady Bulldogs, 41-39. WSSU junior forward Dionna Scott led the way for the Lady Rams with 13 points and eight rebounds. Fellow junior forward Jovonah Graham added eight points as well.
Things looked rough early for the Lady Rams as a lay-up by senior forward Amanda Hairston to open the game was the sole WSSU score for the first six minutes of the game while Bowie State jumped out to a 10-2 lead. However, an Elum lay-up at the 12:56 mark kickstarted the Lady Rams' effort as the team erased their deficit with a 14-6 run that tied the game, 16-16 with 5:19 left in the first half. Though the team would tie the game, the Lady Rams were never able to gain a lead for the remainder of the half. The team was able to keep the Lady Bulldogs within reach as they took a 23-26 deficit into the locker room at halftime.
The second half looked like more of the same for the Lady Rams as the team trailed the Lady Bulldogs, 38-33 with 13:58 left to play. Though the Lady Rams would continue to chip away, the team was never able overcome their deficit as they trailed the Lady Bulldogs, 47-42 with 5:46 left to play. It was there that the Lady Rams would make their stand as they clamped down for a 9-2 run that gave the team its first lead of the game, 51-49 with 2:38 left to play. Once in control of the game, the Lady Rams turned to their defensive efforts to close out the game as they held the Lady Bulldogs to just one field goal in the final four minutes of the game and hit some clutch free throws to seal the 56-51 win.
With the win, the Lady Rams improve to 9-4 overall and remain a perfect 3-0 in CIAA play. The team will hit the road for their next action when they head to Petersburg, Virginia to take on the Virginia State Lady Trojans, Thursday.

Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most popular procedures performed by plastic surgeons. Breast implants not only enhance the size, shape, and balance but they also improve body symmetry and balance. Implants can be usually filled with either silicone or saline solution. So which ones are better? How long does the surgery take? And what are the pros and cons of saline & silicone breast implants?
Those and many more answers about breast augmentation procedure can be found in the following infographic prepared by The Toronto Plastic Surgery Center.


Opening up a business in the world of sports can help you combine two passions. Many love the idea of spending their days working in the world of football or baseball. Whatever your passion, there will always be a way to turn it into a business. Today, we're going to help you find that passion and translate it into a business opportunity. There is no better feeling than being your own boss, especially if it's doing something you love.
The world of sports is a huge industry. Dominated by the giants of Nike, Adidas and Reebok, it can be difficult to figure out where you fit. Rest assured, there will always be a place for new businesses. Just like many other sectors, the world of sports adapts and changes fast. New opportunities arise every year and you can be there to capitalise. The key is finding that niche and targeting it.
Once you have found your place in the market, building your brand is no different from any other business. It takes time, dedication and hard work to get it off the ground. But, you'll have fun doing it, stay in shape and you'll be your own boss. This article will help give you some ideas and inspire you to find your own place in the sports world.
The first trick is narrowing down the sport. If you're reading this, then you've probably got a favourite sport or area in mind. Start there. Although it can be tempting to look at the entire industry as a whole, this strategy doesn't always pay off. Don't try to be the new Nike (at least, not yet). Choosing one sport gives you a sharp and clear focus. It gives you laser precision with which to move your business forward. It also helps exercise your passions. If you're more excited about a particular sport, that will help you get up and work on your plan.
Then, find a niche within that sport. The next step is digging even deeper. Within every sport, there is an entire world of potential industries. Think of the huge potential involved in the single game of baseball. There's equipment, coaching, design, clothing, marketing and hundreds more. This is where you'll use your skills to help figure out a niche. What are you good at? What skills can you harness to further the sport or fill a gap? One other way to look at this is by looking at local developments. Look at adaptations in the sport as a whole. Where is it going? What's the future? Try and answer these questions. Fill a need that may soon present itself.
Now, pick a level to market at. Most sports are arranged into three levels. The first is grassroots and hobbies. This is where the sports are played for fun or at a very early level. If you're aiming here, your product or service will be budget or introductory. This is the biggest market when looking at sports. Target little leagues and early enthusiasts. This is the easiest way to break into the industry too. It is accessible and within budget. Next up is the amateur level. These will require a little more expert knowledge and a better service. Finally, there's the professional level. In order to compete at a business level, your reputation and skills must be world class. Our advice is to start at the grassroots level. Win over a small local sector and expand from there. Learn from the bottom up and build your reputation.
Now that you know how to drill down into the core of an idea, let's look at some potential examples. Like we mentioned, the world of sports is vast. So many other industries contribute to it. Sports, as a whole, support thousands of other sectors. If your skills lie outside the sports world, think about how they might apply.
Coaching or teaching – If your passion is to be a core part of the sport, think about coaching. You could start by coaching youngsters with football, rugby or basketball. If you're a fitness freak, consider starting a personal trainer business. There are plenty of ways to stay directly in touch with the world of sports. It will keep you fit and exercise your passions.
Medical – If you have some training as a medical professional, consider sports medicine. There will always be the need for world class sports physicians. Sports psychologists are also becoming more and more valued in the world of tactics and understanding. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy are others areas that lend themselves to sports. Use your skills and surround yourself with the sports you love.
Management and organisational skills – Put your management skills to good use. Sporting events require serious logistical coordination. At the top level, organising the likes of the Olympics and world tournaments is big business. Mix your business savvy and head for numbers with your love of the game.
Design and marketing – Sports teams and sports companies all need branding and logos. They all need marketing expertise and they all need an online presence. Put your graphic design skills or marketing expertise to use in the sports world. Approach local vendors and teams as your first clients. Use them to pitch for work at the professional level.
Finally, remember the business essentials. Just like any other business, you'll need to register with the tax man. You'll have to keep records of your accounts and put together tax returns. Businesses in the sports world will also need a particular type of insurance. Look to a specialist like Protectivity for coverage in the sports industry. Make sure you have a good lawyer on your speed dial. You'll need help negotiating deals and writing up contracts.
Hopefully, this should give you some inspiration and guidance with setting up your business. The sports industry is vast and wide ranging. There is a place for your skills if you look in the right places. Search out the gaps in the market and the niche for your expertise. Good luck!

The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) is ready to give residents of the Vuwani region another opportunity to register to vote in this year's general election.
This follows a poor turnout at some of the voting stations in the region over the past weekend. IEC provincial electoral officer Nkaro Mateta said they strived to make every effort to ensure that residents were registered. She said they had made sure that facilities were available, but in the end, just a few stations had a poor voter registration turnout.
Talking to Limpopo Mirror on Tuesday, she said that, depending on what the leadership in the area decided, they were ready to give residents another opportunity to register for the upcoming elections. "We told residents that issues of demarcation need to be solved with the government and not us. However, we are available to provide our resources and ensure that residents register to vote," she said.
Some of the region's residents went on a stay-away from registration after a meeting between the Minister of Corporative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (COGHSTA), Dr Zweli Mkhize, and the Pro Makhado Demarcation Task Team.
During the meeting held with the residents from Vuwani last week, the Pro Makhado Demarcation Task Team remained resolute that, without a formal commitment from Government, no participation in any political and government activities would take place. According to the residents, the minister reported back to the residents with feedback on the redetermination of boundaries and provision of services.
Mkhize reported that he had held a meeting with the Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB), and the board had committed to consider the application to re-determine the boundaries of the affected municipalities in the Vhembe District Municipality when the window period of redetermination opened.
He also reported that on the provision of services, this section of the law would be difficult to invoke, since it involved a long process that would also include for Collins Chabane Local Municipality to take a resolution. However, he emphasized the need for the Pro Makhado Demarcation Task Team and the Provincial Department of COGHSTA to continue to engage on how to implement the outstanding projects effectively and enhance service delivery.
Following the meeting, the task team felt the primary issue concerning demarcation had not been properly addressed. The expectation was that the minister would commit the government so that, when the window period was open, the Minister of COGHSTA or the MEC for COGHSTA would approach the MDB to consider the re-determination of boundaries as had been the case during the establishment of Collins Chabane Local Municipality.
According to the statement from the task team, the minister noted the input from residents and promised to engage with his colleagues at the inter-ministerial task team to make an informed decision.
The task team's deputy chairperson, Mr Arnold Mulaudzi, said they were only waiting for the commitment from the government.
"Without this commitment, we will discourage residents from participating in any government programmes," he said.

Tunisia's president suspends parliament
Written by VOA
President Kais Saied
Tunisian troops blocked the head of parliament from entering the building early Monday, hours after President Kais Saied announced he had fired Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi and suspended parliament for 30 days.
Saied said he was acting in response to the country's economic woes and political deadlock and added that the country's constitution gave him that authority.
Rached Ghannouchi, the parliament speaker and head of the Ennahdha party, called the president's actions a "coup" and said the legislature would continue its work.
Two other main parties in parliament also called it a coup, which the president rejected. Saied's announcement drew crowds of demonstrators into the streets in the capital, Tunis, and elsewhere to celebrate.
There were also protesters outside the parliament building and some clashes between the opposing groups. Al-Jazeera said police stormed the news agency's bureau in Tunis on Monday, ordered all staff to leave and confiscated reporters' phones and other equipment.
Tunisia has struggled economically for years, and along with political disfunction, it has dealt with a spike in COVID-19 cases and deaths.

A: Your camp fee covers room and board and all activities while at camp as well as transportation between the Malibu Landing in Egmont, BC and the Malibu Club (departing Thursday at 1:00 pm and returning on Sunday around 12:30 pm).
A: We provide you with a cozy bunk bed outfitted with blankets, pillow, and sheets as well as a bath towel. You will want to bring your own toiletries, a washcloth, a beach towel, and any special pillow you might like to have. As far as clothes go, be your self and be comfortable! Layers will be your friend because mornings and evenings will be chilly and there is always a chance of rain in the PNW during the fall. Tennies or other sturdy shoes will benefit you on the wood boardwalks that become slippery when wet. Bring your swimsuit because the water is awesome rain or shine - and the pool is heated (really, it is!). On Saturday night many women get a little more dressed up for dinner (really whatever you have clean is great) so feel free to pack something for "Club Malibu Dinner."
A: All campers and work staff at all Young Life properties are required to have an up-to-date Health Form completed for EACH camp they attend. Please do this BEFORE you leave for Canada. The account you make for this will be different than how you bought tickets! Here are some health form tips.....Please visit healthform.younglife.org (log-in if you've done this before) and complete the form as a ADULT GUEST or WORK CREW from Young Life Area AG425 (NOT your zip code/local YL Area). You might notice because these forms are mainly used for under-18 campers throughout the summer, they are worded as if you are under-18. Please ignore this fact and complete all sections for yourself as if you are the camper and the parent/guardian. If you have completed a health form for a different camp, use the COPY feature from the most recent you have completed. This will make it so all your personal information is copied over to a new form for this camp and all you will need to do is electronically sign the forms again.
Q: Do you really need my immunization history on my health form?
A: The amazing Joyce del Rosario will be joining us from California this year!
A: The Malibu Princess will embark on our "three-hour tour" to Malibu at 1:00 pm on Thursday, September 13th. Please arrive in Egmont no later than 11:30 am to check-in and get your luggage to the boat. The best sailing on the BC Ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale that will get you to Egmont on time is the 7:30 am.
Q: The Malibu Club is not in California? How do I even get there?
A: Correct, the Malibu Club is in British Columbia, Canada. First of all, this means you should find your passport (or enhanced drivers license/passport card) because you will need it to cross the border. Those of you who have been to Malibu know that part of the magic of this particular Young Life Camp is the adventure of getting there! We'll give you a brief overview, but for a more detailed version visit the Camp Info & Driving Directions page - a good version to print and bring with you to avoid international cell charges for using a navigation system. Most of you will travel North on I-5 from the greater Seattle/Tacoma area by car. We suggest taking Exit 275 to cross the US/Canada Border at the Truck Crossing. From there, go North on Hwy-15 to West Hwy-1 (Trans Canada Highway towards Vancouver) to the Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal. Make sure you purchase a ticket to LANGDALE/SUNSHINE COAST on the 7:30 am or 9:50 am ferry (you can make reservations at BCferries.com if you'd like). After driving off the ferry, follow signs for Hwy-101/Sunshine Coast Hwy to the Egmont/Skookumchuck Narrows turnoff. About 2 miles after the turnoff, turn left onto Maple Road.

Disney Streaming (formerly known as BAMTech Media from 2015 to 2018, and Disney Streaming Services from 2018 to 2021) is a technology subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company located in Manhattan, New York City. It was established in 2015 as a spin-off of MLB Advanced Media—the digital media arm of Major League Baseball, focused on providing streaming video technology, particularly for over-the-top content (OTT) services. The company's major clients include ESPN (for its ESPN+ and ESPN3 services), the National Hockey League, and TheBlaze.

It was majority owned by MLB Advanced Media (which is, in turn, a consortium of MLB's principal team owners), with minority stakes held by the NHL and other investors. Disney acquired a minority stake in the company in August 2016 for $1 billion, and the following year, announced its intent to increase its stake to a 75% controlling stake for $1.58 billion. The deal was approved by regulators in September 2017. With the acquisition of BAMTech by Disney, the company began to develop two subscription streaming services aligned with Disney properties: the sports-oriented service, ESPN+, and the global family entertainment service, Disney+; United States general entertainment service Hulu and Latin America general entertainment service Star+ were later transferred into the company in August 2021. Disney had acquired sole ownership by November 2022.

History

BAMTech Media (2015–2018)

BAMTech was founded in February 2015 through MLB Advanced Media, spinning-out its streaming technology business into a separate company with outside investors. The formation of the company was approved by MLB Advanced Media's board of directors on August 13, 2015. Under the plan, MLB-specific properties (such as MLB.com) would remain under league control. In August 2016, The Walt Disney Company acquired a 1/3 stake in the company for $1 billion, with an option to acquire a majority stake in the future.

On November 1, 2016, BAMTech announced a partnership with Discovery Communications to form a European joint venture known as BAMTech Europe. Its first client is Eurosport, the pan-European rights holder of the Olympic Games beginning 2018. The following month, Riot Games announced a deal with BAMTech for the company to distribute and monetize broadcasts of professional competitions in its multiplayer video game League of Legends through 2023, under which BAMTech would pay Riot at least $50 million per-year, and split advertising revenue. However, after multiple delays, the deal was shelved in 2018 (with Riot instead entering into a non-exclusive distribution deal with ESPN+ to include its content on the platform).

On February 21, 2017, Michael Paull was named BAMTech's CEO. On August 8, 2017, Disney announced that it would increase its ownership in the company to a 75% controlling stake for $1.58 billion. Disney also reiterated its plan to launch an ESPN-branded over-the-top service in early-2018 followed by a Disney-branded direct-to-consumer streaming service in 2019. BAMTech Media was placed under Kevin A. Mayer, Disney's senior executive vice president and chief strategy officer.

The company formally launched a website and corporate identity in September 2017. On November 7, 2017, BAMTech acquired the Manchester-based software firm Cake Solutions. As part of the corporate re-structuring, former director of Cake Solutions, Ian Brookes departed the company.

Disney Streaming Services (2018–2021)

In Disney's March 14, 2018, segment reorganization in anticipation of integrating Fox assets, BAMTech was transferred to Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer & International. BAMTech named Kevin Swint as senior vice-president and general manager of the Disney forthcoming streaming service in January 2018 with Agnes Chu as programming executive.

In October 2018, it was reported that the company had been internally renamed Disney Streaming Services. On October 31, 2018, ESPN International executive vice-president and managing director Russell Wolff was named executive vice-president and general manager of ESPN+. WWE did not renew its contract with BAMTech when it expired at the end of 2018, and signed a deal with Endeavor Streaming in January 2019.

Disney Streaming (2021–present)
On August 3, 2021, Disney announced on Twitter that the company was renamed as Disney Streaming. In the same month, it was reported that Disney was purchasing the NHL's 10% ownership stake in Disney Streaming Services for $350 million, giving Disney a 85% ownership stake and that Major League Baseball's 15% stake in the company could be purchased by Disney, as soon as 2022.

On August 10, 2022, it was reported that Disney Streaming had a total of 221 million subscriptions from Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ combined. At the time, this number surpassed Netflix, which reported having 220.7 million subscribers as of July 2022. On November 29, 2022, Disney revealed in their annual report that they had acquired MLB's remaining 15% stake in the company for $900 million.

Creator's Rights
I'm a bit late to the game, but the arguments about Google's AutoLink continue to fester and I'm feeling inclined to add my opinion. For those just joining us, Dan Gillmor has a decent summary and weighs in against the feature, Dave Winer makes the strident case against, and Kuro5hin summarizes and then plays defense.
I've also spent some time during the last week playing with the feature. Kuro5hin is right that it is relatively limited and innocuous in its current manifestation — but relatively is the key word there. To bring up Creative Commons is right on — my issue here is with ownership and permissions. There are essentially two parts to the argument against the feature as it current exists: one is that the creator of the material owns the material, has rights to it, and AutoLink violates those rights because it does not seek permission from the owner. The other argument is that Google is getting to big and might become evil.
What's fascinating to me is that both Kuro5hin and Kottke dismiss the first argument and accept the second. For me it's the inverse; I don't really care about Google as a company and how big they may or may not be. I do care about my ownership of material I create.
Kuro5hin argues that "fiddling with the content is basically what web surfers do" and so it must be okay for google to do it — well, I respectfully disagree. I'd argue that fiddling with content is not "basically what web surfers do" — I'm not even sure that passes the smell test. Web surfers consume content, and many respond to content by creating their own content. They do not modify other people's content — unless the community is designed to do exactly that, with an explicit permission to do so, like a Wiki. The examples cited to backup the claim that web surfers routinely alter the content of websites include blocking pop-up boxes, using custom stylesheets and — bizarrely — printing hard copies. The trouble is, that's not content modification. That's more like user interface modification. What Google's AutoLink does is actually modify the meaning and purpose of the content that I have created for your consumption — not just the style in which the content is consumed. And it may be just a few "useful" mods right now — zipcodes and ISBN numbers — but I agree with Dave; it's a slippery slope, precisely because it is content modification.
It's clear that in the next century, in America, intellectual property is going to be the foundation of wealth creation. What I create, what I say, is of real value to me. Moreover, I consider myself an artist. I've licensed my photos under the Creative Commons — but I made the choice to do that, to allow (among other things) my creative work to be altered and shared by the community.
Modification of the content without the creator's permission strikes me as a serious violation of the creator's rights. There is a clear solution that solves this problem — let webpages opt-in to Google's AutoLink through some sort of meta-tag. It's likely to be very popular, and I'd probably choose it for most of my content. But that's the key — I'd be choosing it.

In their own words, 8 of Hawaii's most eclectic surfers tell of their most recent international travels, their most dangerous moments on the road, and the important lessons learned along the way.
The gnarliest situation I can remember while traveling recently was when we had around 10 people skinny dipping. We all tried to walk out to this reef shelf far out in the ocean. Long story short, there were urchins, jellyfish…It was dangerous. Another time in Portugal, we found this crazy wave that peeled off a funny looking rock. It looked like a fun little 3-foot left wedge. So I got all excited and was about to paddle out, putting on my suit and waxing my board and that's when a 15-foot wave washed through the place and exploded over all these jagged rocks. I'm so happy I didn't paddle out.
On one of my trips this year, I saw a 6-year-old boy named Lukey get barreled over a super shallow reef shelf in the jungle. It was very cool seeing talent like that in such a remote place with not much surf equipment around.
Every trip I go on, I feel like I learn something new about myself and the world. Lately, I've realized if you enjoy yourself and be super polite no matter what, then you will most likely have a good and safe trip and meet many new friends.
It can get exhausting if you don't know how to travel, but my Dad and Uncle showed me the formula. Now, it's mostly candy.
A friend called me and said "Let's go to Cuba for three days", and I said "okay!" I didn't know exactly where we were going, but I was totally in. We went with no plans other than to explore. We brought a longboard and a shortboard, surfed some beautiful waves in beautiful Caribbean blue water. We walked for hours exploring around the town and got the coolest taxi rides you could ever get. Our taxi was bright pink. It was a really cool experience, and I hope Cuba never changes.
Surfing is always an adventure. Most of the time, chasing swell doesn't end up the way you want it to.
Mexico was more of a real surf trip. Alana Blanchard and I have always wanted to go on a surf trip together and we finally pulled the trigger. We had such a blast, got such fun waves – the best waves I've ever got to surf in my life, Alana and I were on cloud nine. We played in the ocean all day, ate amazing Mexican food and got very sunburned.
I was in Morocco, and my brother Koa Smith called with news of the swell. As soon as I hung up the phone, I booked my ticket without a second thought. I went with Koa, Benji Brand, Koa Rothman and Anthony Walsh. The wave is in a different league, the way the swell expresses itself on the sand bar with such perfection. It's hard to believe what you're seeing is real. Between the animal life, contrasting desert weather and massive swell, the place has a very intense energy and it's beautifully powerful. If the trip taught me anything, it was to always say yes to a strike mission.
After going to Indonesia the past five to seven years in a row, I've learned that you can get the most bang for your buck there. We had a great crew in tow: Micah Moniz, Jake Marote and a few others. Over the years, I've realized it is important to look at the maps and get pretty good at them. I knew there was solid swell for our whole trip, so Micah and I pulled the trigger.
The craziest part of the trip was after a full moon party, one member of our crew drove off a cliff on a moped but luckily was fine. A few guys even tried to mob us outside a event party and we had to defend ourselves. Jiujitsu has showed me how to deal with people if attacked.
Indonesia has taught me a lot in the past years, it's become a part of me. I show a lot of respect and love the vibe, and at the same time you have to know that it can get heavy in one second. I don't litter, I don't look for fights, I don't treat people badly. I just do my thing, respect everyone and get barreled.
The waves in Indo are absolutely perfect: Padang and Desert Point delivered some of the most flawless waves I've seen. Nias is also one of those waves that is just ridiculously perfect but can hold you underwater for a long time.
I've traveled extensively on surf trips for almost three decades and I'm very thankful for the opportunity to now share some of my favorite places with my family. This year, I spent six weeks traveling through Indonesia: Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa and Java surfing, zip lining, paddle boarding and spending time with friends. I caught an epic swell at Desert Point, super fun waves at Lakey Peak, and a slabby right at Desa Limasan.
The place that has changed the most is Bali. The Balinese are incredibly nice people and their culture is still very vibrant. On the other hand, the sheer amount of development has been absolutely lifechanging for the Balinese people, and the visitors as well. Surfers fall in love with the area to some degree because it's getting more crowded. The sheer beauty of the waves for the most part has not changed, though. It's just the way that humans and surf industry people have capitalized and commoditized these surf breaks that has changed, in my view.
Every trip I go on teaches me lessons. I'd have to say that this trip in particular taught me to truly appreciate the special places that we as surfers are accustomed to going to because the world is changing at such a fast pace now.
This trip gave me the perspective I needed. I've never taken my life for granted, but this trip was a reminder of how lucky I truly am. I spent 10 days on Tavarua with three best friends that I grew up with, and I'm not sure how many people can call that part of their job.
Albee Layer, Kai Barger, Dege O'Connell, we've known each other since diaper days. Once we grew older, we went our separate ways. Albee started filming movies, Barger was grinding on the QS, I moved to the North Shore and wanted to surf big good waves and Dege stayed on Maui. So ever since, I've been talking with Albee about doing a trip. The other part of this is that when Albee won Innersection, him and Dege made a bet that if he won, Albee would have to take Dege on a surf trip. And Albee is super loyal, a man of his word. I saw there was going to be a mental run of swell going to Tavarua, and it all worked out.
During the trip, everyone's surfing was so far beyond expectations. It's rad to see how everyone's surfing has evolved.
I spent a week at Desert Point, then Bali for a week and half. I wanted to see Bali because I had never been to Indonesia before, and had always wanted to score waves at Desert Point and Keramas, experiencing a place and culture that was new to me. After that, I spent two weeks in Tahiti. The faraway destinations are always a gamble, because the swell and the forecast can always change.
Desert Point, if you've never been, it's a desert. There's no clean water and you sleep in concrete huts that are hot and super dirty. I flew to Lombok at night and wasn't sure how I was going to get over to Deserts. After I landed, I realized I was in a very foreign location, and in a very different culture. After spending an hour trying to catch rides with some Brazilians, I luckily bumped into a Hawaiian at the airport. The wave itself at Desert Point is one of the most bizarre waves I've experienced. The tides are so drastic, so the swell can come in and die very quickly.
The best wave I've ridden this summer was my first wave of the Puerto Escondido trip, two days before the contest – it was the first wave I've caught in Mexico since getting injured there last summer. I paddled out saying that I didn't even care if I caught a wave, I just wanted to be in the water and if a perfect one came to me, I would go. Then this wave came to me and I had to go.
I started my summer going to California for the WSL Big wave awards. From California, I went to Punta Lobos, Chile for a while and then I went back home to the North Shore. From there, I chased a big swell to Fiji to surf Cloudbreak for a couple of weeks. Then the Puerto Escondido contest was called on while I was visiting family in Arizona, so I went to Mexico for a couple more weeks to surf Puerto Escondido and Salina Cruz. It was two weeks in each location: Chile, Fiji, and Mexico. There's always a chance that after traveling halfway across the world the waves might not cooperate, so it's very important to remember it's the journey not the destination, waves or no waves. Traveling is what you make of it.

Black market still clouds Hamilton's legal pot shops
News Jun 24, 2020 by Richard Leitner hamiltonnews.com
Cameron Brown says a reporter's spelling slip-up in Googling The Hunny Pot's name highlights a key challenge for legal cannabis shops like the fifth location his Toronto-based chain just opened near Eastgate Square.
Type "Honey Pot Stoney Creek" in a web search, as the reporter did, and the top result is an online store touting itself as a "professional medical marijuana dispensary."
The honeypotstore.ca website offers products not approved by Health Canada, and in far greater potencies and quantities than The Hunny Pot can sell.
They include "triple strength" gummies, pounds of pot, a half kilo of black Afghan gold hash for $4,000 and "shatter," a highly concentrated extract smoked using a heated nail and pipe.
Apart from the name, the Honey Pot's website is virtually identical to one for Georgia Peach, which ran four illegal shops in Hamilton before being shut down by police early last year. Both sites offer same-day delivery, with payment by e-transfer only.
Only the Honey Pot offers a phone number, and neither lists a physical address. Customers must register as members and provide personal contact details, but that appears to be about it.
Brown, spokesperson for The Hunny Pot, says legal stores are trying to push out such black-market competitors, but the inability to even advertise their existence is a major obstacle.
Georgia Peach distributed a flyer to Hamilton households earlier this year, for instance, and he says an illegal dispensary in Toronto has done likewise, offering a free pre-rolled joint for every three products ordered.
"For the legal market to continue to be able to eat away at that, there has to be changes to marketing regulations," says Brown, whose Hunny Pot opened Ontario's first legal store in Toronto on April 1, 2019.
Legalization has evolved since then with the addition of edibles, oils and drinks last October, he says, and prices have gradually dropped to meet or beat illegal competitors, with a top brand of weed selling for just over $3.25 per gram for a 28-gram bag.
"These are competitive prices, but the ability to not say that out loud and to say there are other options for you has definitely limited the exposure to come to the legal market," Brown says. "These are safe and tested products by Health Canada as well."
Cabbage Brothers in Dundas — initially called Hello Cannabis — became Hamilton's second legal shop, opening on April 26, 2019, after winning one of 25 licences in an Ontario-wide lottery.
Three more shops have followed since the province moved to an open application process in January, with about another three dozen Hamilton applications awaiting decisions.
Oliver Coppolino, general manager at Cabbage Brothers, says the experience so far has been a bit of a "roller-coaster," especially with COVID-19, which temporarily forced stores to close and then move to delivery and curbside pickup.
But he says the fully reopened shop is thriving, drawing customers from the Waterloo area and beyond, despite "real organized crime" competitors like Georgia Peach, which brazenly put lawn signs in a grassy area in front of his store last summer.
Coppolino says although illegal weed remains readily available, his shop's customers are increasingly interested in the finer details of their purchases beyond simple potency, like taste, smell, type of high and extraction processes for oils and extracts.
Unlike illegal ones, edibles, beverages and other products are capped at 10 mg of THC per package, he says, but lower potency is a sensibly cautious approach, given many people may be new to them.
"You know that there's consistency," he says. "You can feel very confident that out of the two chocolates you buy, if they're both 10 milligrams and they're the same product, they're going to be equal strength. You're not going to find one completely destroys you and the other one doesn't actually seem to have anything in it."
While Cabbage Brothers has had little legal competition since opening, Coppolino says he isn't worried about the three dozen proposed stores saturating the Hamilton market, even if all are approved.
"There is more than enough business in Hamilton to support 30 stores. How many convenience stores are there in Hamilton, how many liquor stores are there in Hamilton?" he says.
"It's a different animal obviously than either of those things, but there's a huge, huge market. But it comes down to will people buy it from the store or are they going to keep buying it from a delivery company or from their buddy who lives down the street."
The city and neighbours of two proposed Hamilton stores — at The Attic pizzeria in Stoney Creek, and a former variety store near Fiddlers Green Road and Hwy. 403 in Ancaster — would rather people buy at another legal shop.
But whether formal opposition to both bids will have any effect remains to be seen because the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario has yet to reject a single store application since the province moved to an open market on Jan. 2.
AGCO spokesperson Raymond Kahnert says the 2018 Cannabis Licence Act sets out a two-stage approval process that starts with an application for a retail licence. Only one such application has been denied.
A successful licence applicant can move to the second stage and apply for up to 10 stores, which can be located anywhere other retail operations are permitted if at least 150 metres away from schools.
Kahnert says the law specifies three "matters of public interest" the AGCO's Registrar can consider when making a ruling: protecting public health and safety, protecting youth and restricting their access to cannabis, and preventing illicit activities in relation to cannabis.
The Registrar also considers comments from the municipality and residents during a 15-day public notice process, he adds.
"While we do not publish a list those who are not eligible or are refused an authorization, the AGCO will only license applicants who meet all legal and regulatory requirements," Kahnert says.
STORY BEHIND THE STORY: With legal cannabis being available in Hamilton for over a year, we wanted to examine the past, present and future of the industry and its impact on our communities. Tomorrow we look at what the future may hold for cannabis retail in Hamilton.
Georgia Peach simply moved online after being shut down by police
Legal cannabis stores had early impact on Hamilton's black market
Future of pot shops in Hamilton uncertain
Hamilton's cannabis gamble proves hazy at best as many promises are still unfulfilled

A recomposed landscape, such is the title chosen by the magazine "Architecture Bois" to present in its special number 28 the last realization of Rusticasa in Gagny, in the 93 department. The architect Jérôme Jacqmin makes us the honors of the visit and explains, through seven richly illustrated pages, the peculiarities of this project, which he took special care to integrate into the surrounding landscape. «The tangling of clippboard blocks lined with horizontal lining of French larch wood… comes to complete the sculptural and minimalist effect of the whole», we can read, but the main originality of this project is undoubtedly in the intelligent solutions that were adopted to insert the House in a particularly narrow terrain, only 10 meters wide. The EC-Bois website reproduces an overview of this building you will find here, but you can also read the original article in this link: Architecture-Bois – Un paysage recomposé, or by clicking on the following images.
