Las Vegas' Cannabition Museum Offers a Fresh Spin on Tourism
Giant buds you can hug, a slide that drops into a pool of nugs, and the world's largest bong are among the promises of Cannabition, an immersive cannabis museum now open in downtown Las Vegas. According to founder JJ Walker, the experience takes guests from "seed to celebration" via photogenic, interactive, and often enlightening installations.
'Immersive' is a hot buzzword in entertainment at the moment, describing everything from interactive plays and escape rooms to oh-so-Instagrammable selfie factories, like Candytopia and the Museum of Ice Cream. It was, in fact, the latter that inspired Walker to conceive of a similar concept surrounding cannabis.
Though Instagram is certainly a facet of Cannabition's design and its many colorful, photogenic rooms, Walker also emphasizes education and—should Las Vegas decide to allow it—possible social consumption.
"I'd been thinking about how [social consumption] would work," Walker said. "Is it really people just sitting around smoking hookahs? Why don't we combine the emergence of these immersive museums with cannabis? Vegas seemed like a good option because Nevada was the next legal state and Vegas is the center of tourism."
Walker worked as event producer in Colorado before opening a dispensary in the Denver area in 2009. He later founded My 420 Tours, a cannabis tourism agency, which connects travelers with weed-friendly hotels and experiences in states where such things are allowed. However, Las Vegas proved to be a surprisingly difficult market.
"When they legalized cannabis, they shut down all consumption," he said. "You can buy it, but you can't smoke it anywhere. Hotel rooms, buses, all the things we got away with in Colorado, Sin City said, 'no way.'"

Cannabition is a way for Walker to engage in cannabis-centric tourism in Vegas, offering a permanent exhibit that can evolve as the law does. Its fun, accessible exhibits appeal to cannabis enthusiasts and mainstream audiences alike, who can snap pictures with friends as they learn about the plant's biology, history, and culture.
The exterior of the building features a mural by Gear Duran that takes viewers through moments in cannabis history, both positive and negative. For instance, the visage of Jimi Hendrix fades into a cop car adorned with the D.A.R.E. logo.
Inside, you can lounge in a cannabis seed bed, then wander a forest of 7-foot buds which you're encouraged to embrace. Climb up a staircase that represents smoke being inhaled, then slide through a pair of lips and a series of smoke rings, and plop into a pool of foam nugs. Along the way, learn about the difference between THC and CBD and how cannabis is harvested. Or, learn about terpenes and their effects at the Clear Concentrates' terpene smelling station.
Notably, Hunter S. Thompson's 1973 Chevy Caprice is on display, on loan from his widow, writer and activist Anita Thompson. This is not the same car HST and Oscar Zeta Acosta drove between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, the road trip that would ultimately become the basis of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. That car was but a rental. This Red Shark was HST's own car, and the one used in the 1998 film adaptation of Fear and Loathing.
HST was a daily cannabis user, according to Thompson, and sat on the board of NORML. Though Thompson is not a smoker herself, she wrote a paper on cannabis while studying at Columbia in NYC.
"I started to research prison and the prison system," Thompson tells High Times. "Three strikes, minimum mandatory sentencing, and the privatization of prisons all happened within a few years of one another, and that was shocking to me. This was the same time that we were losing our labor to overseas factories, so basically we have these prison camps in the U.S. and a lot of these laborers are working for 13 cents an hour [on sentences] for possession of marijuana."
Thompson frequently hosts NORML events on Owl Farm, the sprawling Woody Creek, Colorado property HST once referred to as his "fortified compound," and hopes lending the car to Cannabition will not only bring awareness to these topics, but reinvigorate those who remain committed to fighting against the criminalization of cannabis. Additionally, she believes this kind of exhibit will promote HST's legacy in the right spirit: "integrity and also fun."
"The car wouldn't go to a museum that's funded by Kaiser Permanente or something," Thompson said. "The need for Hunter's work is still growing with the crisis we have in our country right now, politically. It's important to keep his homeland, his archives, and his artifacts, and for the public to have access to Hunter on a personal level."
The Red Shark will be presented alongside a rotating collection of the journalist's personal effects, including photographs, manuscripts, pipes, and pages from the his notebook.
Other exhibits include an Indica room where guests can recline on a giant Buddha sponsored by W Vapes, a Pax tree swing, and an oversized Raw joint sculpture in which one end is a kaleidoscope and the other lights up. Perhaps most impressive is the Bongzilla, a 24-foot glass bong designed by Jerome Baker, which is, in theory, operational. Guests may also stop off at the museum's retail component, where a variety of CBD-infused beverages and snacks are available for purchase. In all, guests should expect to spend 45 minutes to an hour inside.
Walker hopes that Las Vegas will soon embrace the idea of social consumption and that Cannabition will secure the city's first official license.
"On that day, we could christen the bong with a group of the top leaders and celebrities in the industry," he said. "Imagine Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg hanging out together, christening this bong."
Cannabiton can be found in Las Vegas' Neonopolis, the Fremont Street entertainment complex that already contains axe-throwing bar Axehole, the gutbusting Heart Attack Grill, and geeky video game bar The Nerd. Current hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to midnight. (Hours are subject to change, so we'd advise calling ahead.) Tickets start at $24.20.

How to Donate your Legally Harvested Deer
Start saving on your energy bill and help HHH
Through support from our friends at the NJ Farm Bureau working with the NJ Dept. of Agriculture, we have been awarded a grant which will allow us to waive the hunters portion of the processing fees for hunter donated deer having a field dressed weight of 50 lbs or more for the entire 2022/2023 hunting season. The total fees butchers receive have been increased to $100/ deer.The fee to hunters for deer having a field dressed weight under 50 lbs will be at $50.00.
HHH originally started to assist hunters who could harvest more deer than they could use personally. Over the years our mission has been expanded. 1) we continue to pay butchering costs for hunters who are able to take more deer than they can use 2) we support various municipal/private property owners that pay for the butchering process directly while they attempt to reduce deer populations on their property and 3) we now are setting aside a portion of the Dept of Agriculture grant(s) to support and pay for butchering of deer taken by farmers and their agents during depredation hunts.
All of our efforts ultimately help the food bank system in New Jersey and those families less fortunate.
Hunters Helping the Hungry Inc. needs your support. All donations go directly towards the cost of deer processing and storing the meat. Please fill out the coupon below, and send with your donation to:

Meet Simon and Marijke – Two of The Beautiful People
1960s, Apple Boutique, Barry Finch, Boutiques, british boutique movement, celebrity boutiques, eric clapton, george harrison, granny takes a trip, Josje Leeger, marianne faithfull, Marijke Koger, mick jagger, Pattie Boyd, Rave, Simon Posthuma, The Beatles, The Fool
The world of pop artists Simon and Marijke is indeed strange—their philosophy is to spread the influence of art over every aspect of civilized society, to produce a world throbbing with colour, light and beautiful things—but are we ready for them and their way of life? Will they make it, or will they disappear into the realms of history? Jeremy Pascall visited them to find out!
Officially the street nameplate says "Montague Square". Unofficially it says "George Harrison is the best Beatle" in felt-tip pen. Just up the road Patti Harrison's orange and yellow mini is parked. Beneath the sun-hot pavement of the quiet London square is a cool basement area. Set into the wall is a blue-painted door with gold stars scattered across it. A small sign says "Love, special delivery!"
Behind the door is a large, calm flat, at the centre of which is a big, open room, bright with rainbow paintings, fragrant with incense and flowers, loud with music, and alive with happy, talking, laughing people.
Mick and Marianne: Simon's visitors.
The Cream with their instruments, painted by Simon and Marijke.
Here two young Dutch painters, Simon and Marijke, hold court. Their boon companions are Barry and Josje. Their courtiers include the Beatles, Mick Jagger, Graham Nash, the Cream and the rest of London's most beautiful people.
But this is not just a court, it is a painter's power-house, a beauty factory. Simon, Marijke, Josje and Barry are part of a new generation of artists. Pop artists who are using pop music and stars and fashion to bring their work before us. If you've ever seen the Cream, opened the "Sgt. Pepper" cover, or bought the latest Hollies' album you'll have seen their work. And you'll be seeing a lot more of it in the future.
Simon (pronounced Simone) Posthuma is twenty-eight. He was born the year that war broke out, and remembers the Germans being kind to him. "I turned them on", he said and smiled. This is Simon's mission, to turn everyone on to beauty and colour.
The son of a policeman (he admits to this with an ironic chuckle; his later life has shown that he and the police don't always see eye to eye), Simon was an early drop-out, leaving school because "we didn't under-stand each other". He then went through every conceivable job. For a time he was an art student, "but they threw me out because they said I had no talent!"
Despite this set-back he continued to paint. "I've always painted, experimented, progressed, tried to find what I want to say." At first his work was conventional landscapes and portraits, but he soon evolved his own highly individual (and now much copied) style of brilliant rainbow colours and patterns.
Four years ago the gently rebellious artist met Marijke (pronounced Marracca) Koger, than a commercial, but not very happy, artist working in an advertising agency. They clicked in every way and started creating happenings with the help of their growing circle of friends consisting of musicians, writers and artists.
Between them Simon and Marijke really stirred up Amsterdam. "We did some crazy, beautiful things, man," Simon said in his soft, Dutch accent. "We organised evening happenings when we took over a house, and had music and dancing and action painting. One day we went out into the street and painted it gold. Crazy!"
Simon and Marijke were joined in their "rainbow circle" by Josje (pronounced Yosha) Leeger. Josje, an old school friend of Marijke, was already established as a designer in Holland, and her clothes reflect the beautifully bizarre, freely fanciful ideas of the group. The clothes are made of different coloured fabrics and materials. Like styled patchwork quilts and up-dated gypsy costumes, jesters' motley and troubadours' shreds and patches.
And so they were three—Simon, Marijke and Josje. They had good things going for them in Amsterdam — a boutique and exhibitions — but they wanted to get out and so Simon and Marijke went to Morocco and Greece and then decided that London was for them.
But at first London wasn't sure if they were right for it! They weren't readily accepted. "We got very annoyed about it at first, but then we got to know the people at 'Granny Takes A Trip', and through them we met hip P.R. man Barry Finch, who was looking for someone to design the programme for the Saville Theatre."
Simon and Marijke came, he saw, they conquered, and that was the start! They designed the programme cover for the Saville, started meeting the most influential people in pop, fell under the patronage of the Beatles and never looked back.
Barry became manager of the romantic duo. The Beatles asked them to submit designs for their "Sgt. Pepper" cover. They did the full job, including a fearsome cut-out mask, but only the inner sleeve design was used.
Simon, Marijke, Josje and Barry have created their own little world, a prototype for what they want us all to have. It's a sprawling, open flat, centred around a long hallway and communal room. Most of the business of living is carried on in this room, where visitors are made welcome. Unlike the classic picture of an artist's home, the apartment is remarkably clean and tidy.
In the main room, be-decked with samples of their work, Simon and Marijke hold court. A record player in the corner drones Ravi Shankar, "a present from George". Marijke hands round sweet little Indian cakes—"A present from Ravi". Somehow the tiny community seems utterly cut off from the bustle of London and it is no surprise when Mick, Marianne and Patti wander in to savour the tranquillity.
Surrounded by the things and the people they love, they gently, persuasively expound their philosophy, and outline their plans.
It is a philosophy based on love. "The essence is love. Love will grow, spread until the whole world is turned on to it. Love will not die. Everybody must turn on.
"There are people who don't understand and walk away, but the next day they find out a new part of what is happening. To them it appears that it's all happening at once, but in fact it's the culmination of years. People react to us; in Paris they shouted rude words at us and we smiled back, but it didn't happen in London. Anyway we're in a different society, we mix with people who think like us, we stay in our headquarters all the time, work all the time.
"What is the ultimate? Paradise, living for each other. No dirty cities. We will change back to country communities where money won't be necessary, we'll work for each other. Who'll do all the work? Computers. Eventually computers will show we don't need computers!
"The old leaders are dying. Soon there will be new leaders. No, not leaders — spiritual mentors. This is the divine plan," said Simon.
The philosophy sounds muddled and naive but it's spoken in all sincerity. Simon speaks wonderingly of Eastern mystics who can perform miracles, produce castles out of the air. Charmingly childlike, but they have exciting plans afoot.
There will soon be an exhibition of Simon's work, followed by the opening of a boutique and a film or theatre venture.
Boutique isn't quite the word. The shop will be more of an environment. Simon and Marijke think that pop, fashion, art and design have been too separate in the past. They want to bring them all together under one roof. It would be nice to see people walking around in their fabulous clothes, hanging their beautiful paintings on the walls (posters will soon be available) and accepting their philosophy. But are we ready for it yet?
All colour, fun, love, beauty. Gold streets! Why not? That's how it feels to be one of the beautiful people!
Some wonderful photos of The Fool which I hadn't seen before. Interesting to read about their plans for their boutique (the-here-unnamed Apple Boutique) which would open only a couple of months after this was published and closed six months later.

United States Consulate General, Nogales Mexico
Providing shelter from the harsh Sonoran Desert sun, an oversized ramada responds to the regional climate and culture, while also providing the Diplomatic community with a comfortable, welcoming, and protected environment that expresses the spirit and values of the United States.
Nogales serves as an important point of entry to the U.S. and is Arizona's largest border community. Located five kilometers from the Arizona border, the new U.S. Consulate Nogales, Mexico is situated between commercial and residential districts on a steep hilltop site with expansive mountain views. With limited street frontage, the consulate is primarily seen from a distance and is an important symbol of U.S. interest in the region.
The horizontal plane is the language of shade and shelter. In the desert, a screen, a canopy, a tree or roof can protect us from extreme heat and harsh sunlight. Inspired by the local architectural precedent of ramadas, quickly assembled shade structures created by stacking ocotillo cacti branches overhead, a large-scale roof canopy shades the new Consulate and creates a welcoming and civic presence for the community. The steel and aluminum ramada visually anchors the building to the landscape, increases perceived thermal comfort, and is a sustainable and resilient feature that reduces the building cooling load by 20%.
Community programs open onto a shaded northeast-facing terrace with views of the mountains and the U.S. beyond. The building encourages community well-being through integration of a wide and gracious ornamental stair at the heart of the building. Locally inspired materials, selected for their connection to the desert, are used to highlight the importance of shade as a refuge form the strong Sonoran sun.
Prioritizing the significance of consular affairs on the surrounding community, the monumental consular lobby highlights the civic importance of the space. The Consular Arrival Court is designed as protected environment, compressed and intimate with shaded circulation paths and seating for the hundreds of daily visitors.

The markets had much to consider this past week, most notably Fed Chair Yellen's semi-annual congressional testimony on Tuesday and Thursday and today's updates on Consumer Sentiment and GDP.
The S&P 500 showed relatively little reaction to any of this week's economic events, trading within a microscopic 0.79% range from its intraday low on Monday to its intraday high on Wednesday (which was also its record high).
Friday's -0.30% closing loss trimmed the February monthly gain to a whopping 5.49%, the biggest monthly gain since October of 2011, 40 months ago, when the index rose 10.77%.
Here is a 15-minute chart of the last five sessions.
Here's a monthly chart of the index highlighting the February gain and the October 2011 liftoff.

Luke worked different manual labour jobs until his mid thirties when he suddenly found himself unemployed and with a choice, return to the literal backbreaking work or attempt to write the voices and stories occupying his head. With zero experience, training, or eduction, he became a movie extra and actor to learn how a movie set works whilst getting paid and and fed at the same time.

After his first short script For The Love of Fear won a few awards andbecame a finalist out of thousands of entries in the prestigious BlueCat Screenwriting Competition, he quickly knew writing wasn't enough, he needed it be become more real than words on a page, he needed to bring it to life, which led him to write and produce a multi award winning web series "Drama". Still not enough he wanted more control of his vision from the page to every physical and artistic detail of the set and cast, more out of necessity than ambition, he fell into the role of writer/director.

Netflix has announced at the Berlinale on the European Film Market (EFM) that it has the worldwide rights of "My best friend Anne Frank". The first Dutch cinema film about Anne Frank tells the moving true story of Hannah Goslar and her special friendship with Anne Frank.
"My best friend Anne Frank" is directed by Oscar nominated Ben Sombogaart, known from films such as "Rafaël", "Kneeling on a bed of violins" and "Twin Sisters". Shooting in the Netherlands and Hungary start in march 2020, 75 years after the death of Anne Frank. Netflix has purchased the film from Dutch FilmWorks International.
Lina Brouneus, Director of Co-Production & Acquisition at Netflix: "We are very proud that the film" My best friend Anne Frank "will be shown on Netflix worldwide.

The Hamptons Subway
Hamptons Subway Newsletter: Week of January 9–5, 2015
By Dan Rattiner Posted on January 12, 2015
Manspreading isn't an issue on the Hamptons Subway or its platforms, Photo: Darrin Klimek/Stockbyte/Thinkstock
Riders this past week: 9,800
Rider miles this past week: 79,002
DOWN IN THE TUBE
Howard Stern was seen on the Hamptons Subway heading from Water Mill toward Bridgehampton enjoying something on his iPod. Local developers Bill Campbell and Dennis Suskind were seen talking on the subway together riding between Shinnecock and Southampton.
Some people wonder how we manage to continue the same schedule in both summer and winter—with packed subway trains arriving and departing at regular nine-minute interval. It's simple. Just count the cars when the train pulls into the station. In summer, each train consists of eight cars. In winter, it is five. So there you are. A byproduct of this is that with only five cars in a train in winter, we can then work on cars that need extensive repairs. For instance, in summer, some cars rattle. Things are loose. Or they lurch. Bad transmission. These things have to wait until winter to be repaired.
Many people complained during the past month that all the live music acts on the platforms are barbershop quartets. You can't get away from them. Why? Our new entertainment manager, Howie McFee, just loves barbershop quartets, so he doesn't give out permits to anyone who isn't a barbershop quartet able to sing Sweet Caroline. Now he's been replaced so this problem will cease.
NEW LIFE FOR GEORGICA STOP
As you know, the little used Georgica Station is shut down entirely during January and February. But never fear. During these months and then March and April when it's weekends only, the platform of the Georgica Station is fitted with temporarily installed tropical herb gardens. A new line of Georgica Picante herbs will be grown and then packed to be sold at fine food stores everywhere next summer. Then in May, when the station re-opens full time again, the herb gardens are removed and the platforms fumigated. Who tends these herb gardens? Why it's the summer concierges for this exclusive subway stop, those who offer wine and cheese to arriving guests during July and August, here in winter line up for the gardening and watering jobs instead of being on the unemployment line.
At the suggestion of subway riders always in a hurry, we are now oiling all the escalators leading down to the platforms in anticipation of increasing their speeds for this upcoming summer from 2 miles an hour to 3 miles an hour. Hang onto your hats.
MANSPREADING
According to some people in the know, the New York Subway System is about to launch an anti-manspreading campaign. They'll have posters up inside the subway cars that show men what they should not do—spreading their legs to occupy two seats instead of one. "It's rude," we're told the captions on the posters will say. Well, we've had no complaints here on Hamptons Subway about manspreading. So we're not going to do that here. Hamptons Subway is a class act, which accounts for all the awards we win in our category in nationwide subway competitions.
We'd like to remind young subway goers and their parents that tobogganing down the ice on the tracks on the steep hill from the Trout Pond turn in Noyac to the straightaway at Long Beach is both dangerous and stupid, especially during the daylight hours when the trains are in full, frequent service there.
COMMISSIONER ASPINALL'S MESSAGE
Over this weekend, my family will host Agnes Gretch-Kratz, the granddaughter of the late founder of Hamptons Subway, Ivan Kratz. She is recently out of prison, and will stay at our house. If you see her, give her a wave hello.

« Manifestation-Grand Design or Both?
I have recently been listening to some wonderful things from Dr. Wayne Dyer, and find that I have needed to contemplate some of my own issues. I have found in my contemplation, that I have felt further and further away from Spirit in my daily practice. I connect very easily when I sit down to do a session with someone, and I have wondered what the difference is from the day to day to the practice during a session. What I have determined is that it is much easier to connect to Source when you are giving and doing for others. I have been forced to realize that I give and do very little for myself from day to day and now understand that this is something that is not optional in order for me to have more to give to others. The more I give to others the more I have to give again and again. I encourage each of us to ask Spirit to help us reach out in an act of kindness to our fellow beings and see what rewards sharing a little or a lot can bring. And I would also challenge each of us to remember to include ourselves in that count and give something to us as well.

Great Welcome & great hosts. First few days were lovely weather, unfortunately turned bad towards the end so didn't see too many places. However all that didn't matter as we saw at least 100 seals at Horsey!!! There was over 75 laying within the rocks sunning themselves and another 30 odd on the sand bank. Plenty more heading into shore. Winterton on Sea and Horsey are the best beaches we have seen and I am from Australia so have seen a few. Lovely stay, thank you.


We picked up a few legendary pieces of gear this week. Eight channels of Langevin preamps from the audio console for the Johnny Carson Show at NBC Studio 2 in Burbank dating back to the mid 60's.
Langevin was a custom high end audio manufacture in the 60's and 70's. In 1967 The Johnny Carson Show commissioned Langevin to build a state of the art console from scratch. This console was in use from then until 1990 when the Carson show went all digital and threw out the old Langevin console. The 1st engineer for the Carson show, Ron Estes, salvaged all of the modules from the trash. After sitting on them for years he eventually started selling it off. These raw preamp cards were purchased from him and racked by Orphan Audio, a company that specializes in restoring classic studio equipment. After much haggling they made their way to us .


Neeta is an heiress, the only daughter of U.K. based Industrialist, Jagat Narayan. She is of marriageable age, and is being wooed by Kailash, Chandra, and Raja. She prefers Chandra over Kailash and Raja, but subsequently changes her mind and falls in love with Raja.
Things take a dramatic turn when Jagat and Neeta find out that Raja is not who is claims he is. When Raja defends himself, and calls himself Roop, his very own mother denies this claim, and instead states that Chandra is Roop, her only son. Raja alias Roop must now make attempts to prove himself, and realizes that this is indeed an uphill task.

We recently acquired a really special lot in the wonderful Randall Park neighborhood of Downers Grove. As soon as we saw it, we knew it was too good to pass up! There's a limited window of time that it will be available as a complete custom build before we design a spec home on the land - so we're sharing all of the details of this pre-sale here.
This extra wide lot, located at 5344 Benton Ave, sits perched atop a hill on a picturesque tree lined street. The lot is an oversized 75x131 property that allows for added frontage (think of the amazing curb appeal potential!). There is so much room for customization on a lot of this size - so bring us your ideas of what you'd love your home to look like.
5344 Benton Ave is set in a neighborhood known for being extremely family-friendly and community-focused. Residents here organize activities such as holiday luminaria display, neighborhood Easter egg hunt, an annual Soapbox Derby race and block parties sprinkled throghout the summer and fall. The convenience of the location can't be overlooked either; two blocks to highly rated Whitter Elementary School, steps from the action at Patriots and Randall Parks and an easy walk into town or to the Metra express train line (28 mins from Downers to Chicago - Take that, I-290!).
As with any Oakley Home Builders' custom build, your new construction experience is built around making sure you love the process of building your home as much as you'll love your actual home. With resources like our in-house architect and our design consultant, you'll have experts at hand to ensure your home looks beautiful and that the path to getting there is a smooth one. But you'll also benefit from the experience we bring from building nearly 150 homes (5 on Benton Ave alone!).
Because buildable lots like this one are so sought after, we're excited to share this opportunity with you. Pricing is not currently set as this is a custom home opportunity - so bring us your ideas and we can talk! This is your chance to truly build your dream home in a dream location.
Contact us today to talk about making 5344 Benton Ave your home.


I am patient, kind, tolerant, and very easy to get along with. I like romantic evenings either at home or out. I like to travel both in the USA and abroad.
First of all I want someone that is faithful, someone that truly wants to fall in love. Someone I would want to treat like a queen because she treats me like a king. Someone that is a little independent but still needs me around.

Macau expects 50k daily tourists during Chinese New Year
Macau's hotels for the Chinese New Year holiday period currently stands between just 30 and 50 per cent.
by marianah
The Macau government expects to recover during the upcoming holiday.
Macau.- The Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO) is expecting 40,000 to 50,000 daily arrivals during the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday, which begins on Sunday, January 22 and ends on Sunday, February 5. In 2019, pre-pandemic, they registered about 170,000 visitors per day during that break.
The reservation rate of Macau's hotels for the Chinese New Year holiday period currently stands between just 30 and 50 per cent. Acting Director Cheng Wai Tong said that figure is expected to rise over the next two weeks: "There is still some time before the Chinese New Year holidays and the booking rate is expected to increase," Cheng said. In 2022, the hotel occupancy rate was around 63 per cent, compared with 93 per cent in 2019.
"The MGTO expects about 40,000 to 50,000 visitors per day during the Chinese New Year holidays, but the number is not comparable to the 170,000 visitors per day during the same period in 2019, as the traffic to Macau has not yet fully recovered," Cheng explained.
"The MGTO has also received feedback from the hotel industry and is communicating with the Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL) to find ways to replenish the hotel industry's manpower in the near future," Cheng said.
From Sunday, January 8, most of Macau's travel restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic came to an end and ferry services from Hong Kong were resumed after three years.
Hong Kong is Macau's second-largest market. This week, the MGTO launched a new promotional campaign to encourage greater visitation from Hong Kong. Starting from January 13 until March 31, Hong Kong residents purchasing a Macau-bound ferry or bus ticket via TurboJET, Cotai Water Jet, and the Hong Kong-Macao Express and staying at least one night in Macau will be offered a complimentary return ticket.
The average daily visitation during the three-day period from January 8 to January 10 topped 36,000, while ferry services brought in 6,074 tourists at the Taipa terminal.
Macau saw a total of 39,643 visitor arrivals on Sunday (January 8), followed by a total of 35,479 visitors on Monday (January 9). Figures from the police showed that on Tuesday (January 10) the city welcomed 34,264 visitors. About 18,200 of Tuesday's visitors entered Macau via the Border Gate land crossing with neighbouring Zhuhai, Guangdong province.
In the period running from Sunday (January 8) to Tuesday (January 10), Macau recorded a total of 109,386 visitor arrivals.

Serabi Gold Plc (AIM: SRB, TSX: SBI), the Brazilian focused gold mining and development company, is pleased to provide an update from its operations and projects in Brazil.
January gold production of 3,671 ounces in line with guidance.
Treatment of stockpiled flotation tailings underway through the recently commissioned independent trommel feed system ("Scrubber").
Ore Sorter testing completed and now being shipped to Brazil.
Cash position at end of January 2019 of US$12.8 million.
A Geological Resource update and Preliminary Economic Assessment Study ("PEA") remain on schedule to be published in March and June 2019, respectively.
Serabi will be available at booth #2533 at this year's PDAC convention in Toronto, and will also be attending the BMO Global Metals & Mining Conference in Hollywood, Miami.
CEO Mike Hodgson commented: "We are delighted to have started the year in much the same way as 2018 ended, with excellent production. Production guidance for 2019 has been set at 40,000-44,000 ounces, so January's total gold production of over 3,650 ounces has been a great way to start the year. The step up from the production levels of 2017 and 2018 will be driven by improved efficiencies in both orebodies and the processing of some of the 40,000 tonnes of flotation tails (grading 3 g/t gold) which will supplement the normal 'run-of-mine' production. We have now commissioned the scrubber which was started on 10 January and has worked superbly since. It allows the tails (which have already been milled) to be fed directly to the cyanidation plant, therefore not consuming valuable capacity in the milling section of the plant.
"At Coringa, we are close to concluding a drill programme, the results from which will be included in the resource update. As reported at the end of January the results to date have been excellent. We remain on schedule to publish an updated geological resource estimate before the end of the first quarter, and will follow this up with the preparation of a PEA, the results of which are expected to be available before the end of June 2019.
"In light of recent events at Brumadinho in Minas Gerais state in Brazil, I would like to give reassurance to our stakeholders regarding the tailings management facility at Palito. Serabi's operations are all about quality not quantity, therefore we mine and process almost insignificant volumes of rock relative to industrial mineral, iron ore and bauxite operations such as Brumadinho. New legislation has been introduced following the dam failure at Mariana, also in Minas Gerais, in 2015. This legislation has, however been a rather 'one size fits all' approach, and as a result we do have a highly 'over-engineered' tailings facility and the annual audit of our tailings facilities, undertaken late last year by an accredited Brazilian geotechnical engineering expert, confirmed our tailings management facility to be in good order, and it remains fully licenced and certified.
"assay" in economic geology, means to analyse the proportions of metal in a rock or overburden sample; to test an ore or mineral for composition, purity, weight or other properties of commercial interest.
"grade" is the concentration of mineral within the host rock typically quoted as grammes per tonne (g/t), parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb).
"scrubber" – a machine for cleaning ore and removing impurities such as clays, coatings or other deleterious materials.

Once the Qualification Process is complete, an appointment will be set up for a visit to your site with the sales person that best fits your needs.
Our site visit to your property is an opportunity for your sales person to come to your site to meet you, view your property, and gather details on the work that you are considering. By the end of this visit, your salesperson will be prepared to present you a proposal for a design or a projected scheduled budget.
During the design process, our Designer will carefully consider the qualities that are important to you: scents, sounds, shapes, textures, colors, and functions. These elements will be blended with your home's architecture and style, resulting in a customized outdoor space, perfect for your needs.
The Projected Scheduled Budget is an educated estimation of the budget range in which your project will fall, based on the unique scope of your project. If you are pleased with the Projected Scheduled Budget, you can sign it and submit a retainer of 10% of the upper range of this budget which will be applied to the project's final balance. Once the PSB is signed, our team can begin designing your dream landscape!
After determining the exact cost of the project, you will be presented with a detailed design and proposal. The proposal is documentation of the final cost of your project. Often, our clients find that visiting our on site or off site Show Gardens at this time is helpful in realizing their outdoor desires. It allows you to experience some of our work firsthand as we walk you through our show gardens. At this time we will review the design and the proposal in detail and look at the plants and materials for your approval. We will answer any questions to help clarify details. Once we have all agreed on the design and materials, you can sign the proposal so that we can begin transforming your landscape!

I have 2 layers of SVG images on my website, one is the top arrow and one functions as it's shadow to create a 3D effect.
I want to have the top margin of a child div dynamically set to the parent's div height in responsive scenario, so that the arrow's shadow stays in the same position when resizing the screen.
Hi, feel free to contact me to get it done .
Good Morning. Why not use a single svg image where the two arrows are grouped together. Then save the svg and use it as if using a single image. Thank you.
I can complete your project effectively, please try me for your work so that I can give our best for your requirement.
Very easy to make you can probably use stackoverflow yourself. Message me I will explain it to you. Looking forward to working with you.

The presents will be distributed to childiren aged 0-12, Teenagers and Adults throughout our community, who otherwise may not be lucky enough to receive such wonderful presents.
