The tears in her eyes confirmed what I had suspected. My daughter was pulling away from me… I was turning out to be just like everyone else.
Shortly before our family became Christians, my daughter's revelation that she thought she was gay came as a devastating shock. While my husband and I were finally happy after making a commitment to a God we had always believed in but had never taken the time to know, we began as new converts with a secret that lay heavy on our hearts.
When my daughter asked me how God felt about gay people, I did my best to put together what the Bible said about homosexuality, and what it stated seemed very clear. New at church and still very emotional by what had been revealed, I was unable to approach anyone in church leadership, too embarrassed to ask questions, mortified at what people would think. Then again, I wasn't sure what I thought of "us" anymore. If my daughter was gay, then how could the "happily ever after life" I thought I was living ever been real? The shards and rubble that were left of it no longer resembled anything familiar.
At 17, my daughter was already well aware of what people in general thought about the gay community and because the Bible had been the basis for many of their opinions, she began doubting the "God loves everybody" statements that I tried to encourage her with. To be honest, I wasn't really sure if He loved my daughter.
A year after joining the church, my husband and I enrolled in a Bible study program. After a few months of basic doctrinal instruction, and armed with some Bible verses, I drew up the courage to broach the subject of repentance with my daughter. Repenting, I told her, meant asking God forgiveness and then actually turning her life towards God, and away from anything to do with her former behavior.
My daughter listened carefully to everything I said and didn't say a word. Although the silence that followed was long and uncomfortable, I felt relieved because I had told her everything that she needed to know. I was trying to save her soul and whether it hurt or not wasn't important. She of all people didn't deserve to go to hell and there was no way I was going to let someone so precious to me just slip away. Grieving for her while she was still very much alive was like living a nightmare. I had told her that God wanted only the best for her and that by creating a man and a woman He had set the ground rules for a perfect, "beautiful life" and that He wouldn't accept anything else.
When I finally looked up, I found her crying silently to herself. While she hadn't protested or fought back, she wasn't reaching for me either and I could almost feel her pulling away, closing a door, and shutting me out forever.
Suddenly all the reasons for having to hurt her for her own good seemed no longer valid. I thought that I was doing what was right before God by telling her that if she didn't change she would go to hell, but something was terribly wrong. I suddenly realized that all I had done was deliver an ultimatum on behalf of a God she had already heard about. The judgmental, condemning, stern, and uncompromising God, the God to be feared, and the God who could strike you down where you stood if you tried to defy Him. What did she need a God like that for? Wouldn't she have been better off without Him?
From that moment on, the more I spoke, the deeper I sank. While she struggled to understand herself and deal with the reaction that society had toward "people like her," it was as if I had announced that she could no longer be part of our lives, like she could only look in at us from where she was: alone and abandoned, "outside" of God's acceptance.
I felt so torn up inside. How could this be doing what God wanted? When I had given my life to God, I had been so full of hope, but now I wondered if I really had what it took to be a good Christian. Would God just throw us away if we didn't conform? If God had chosen us all before we were even born, how was it that He could give up on someone as gentle and beautiful as my daughter? Did we really need Him if this is what He was like? Nothing made any sense anymore, and I felt like I was at the point of losing my daughter, losing God, and losing my mind.
Slowly, however, somewhere in the midst of my confusion, the ranting and raving seemed to ebb, and I realized that I was lying to myself. Completely exhausted, I finally and reluctantly had to admit to myself that I still really did need God. As frightening as He might be, there had to be something more to Him…there just had to be. For some inexplicable reason, I kept holding on to that conviction and now, almost six years later, I am glad that I did.
As my husband and I continued in Bible study, we began to understand God's true character as it was revealed in His Word. Slowly God evolved in our lives and took His place as "Father" in our hearts. Verse after verse revealed an incredible parent who was eternally steadfast in the unconditional love He had for His children; all of His children. His promises spoke of unspeakable riches, ready for the taking if we would just take the time to learn why He wanted to give them to us. In time, the truth of what Christ had accomplished on the cross became something that literally changed our whole lives. Instead of walking around defeated and sad, we began to wield the victory that was God's precious gift to us as Christians. Using the declarations, prayers, and instructions in the Bible, we began to arm ourselves with the spiritual weapons available.
As a mother, getting my daughter "right with God" even before she knew anything about Him had been all wrong. What I hadn't provided for my daughter that day was what she needed first and foremost: the assurance of God's unconditional love for her. It was God's love that needed to be like a lighthouse beacon – clear, sure, and welcoming. When I had told her previously that God loved everyone, including gays, my conviction had been as thin as the stickers that the "God is Love" affirmations were usually printed on. God's love had been everything but clear, sure, and welcoming when I had marched into her already fragile life, armed to change her no matter what. I had leveled biblical concepts of deliverance and demonic oppression at her prematurely, without any exhortation or information, and had pulled the trigger. As sincere as my intentions may have been, the results could have been nothing short of lethal.
Since that time, God has been placed at the bottom of my daughter's list of life's priorities, but at least He's still on the list. Realizing that my fumbled attempts to minister to her about her "challenge" had been based on my love for her, the relationship I have with my daughter has continued to be open and loving.
We know that in time, the Holy Spirit will provide all the courage my daughter needs to approach church again. Hopefully she will be afforded the dignity and respect she needs from church fellowship as she, just like any other Christian, works on her own particular challenges. Newfound love must have a nurturing and caring environment for it to grow. Rooted in compassionate love for all individuals, regardless of who they are, and providing ongoing education and monitored growth can only ensure that the church actually helps each individual realize the blessed life that God has always intended for them.
My husband and I have accepted now that unless her desire to seek God for herself is sincere, my daughter's relationship with God will be meaningless. Love cannot be forced, but once it has been ignited nothing can stop its dramatic effects. Nothing is impossible for God. As parents of a gay daughter, we must continue on with unquestionable faith and respect for His timing. The same love that conquers all is also the fountain from which patience and perseverance spring and it will be that same love that sees us through to the end, no matter what.

For wire EDM operators, selecting the right EDM wire for their machine shop applications is just as important as any other task in the operational cycle. Many times, justifying the cost of consumables can be difficult, and operators often have to consider several criteria in order to make the most cost-effective decision. This week's post helps inform these decisions to guide you in selecting the most appropriate wire for your EDM shop and applications.
The actual manufacturing cost of the consumed wire is very small when compared to the HBSR, even when using coated wire. For a typical $60/HBSR, the wire consumption costs of brass wire are about 10 percent, compared to about 18 percent for coated wire. The justification for coated wire is that it yields greater profit and productivity in any accounting approach. Below are the two most common justification comparisons between using brass versus coated wires. The comparisons focus on the additional billable shop time and increased machining speed.
Makino wire EDMs feature a complete machining condition database designed to provide the optimum mix of machining speed, accuracy and low wire consumption. Every condition for all material types and wire sizes on a Makino wire EDM has low wire-consumption technology and takes advantage of Makino's proprietary BellyWIZARD™ technology to maintain part straightness and accuracy. Below is a cost justification between brass and coated wires reflecting real-world hourly wire consumption values attained by Makino wire EDMs.
Based on the information presented, wire EDM shoppers can informatively justify higher purchasing costs for coated EDM wire. Whether it is for additional billable machine time or increased machining speeds, having the right information to help justify any material cost can greatly improve machine shop efficiency and utilization.

Ming Smith featured in High Snobiety
10 Booths You Need to See at Frieze New York
By Elliot Sang
April showers bring May flowers — and more art events. Kicking off the month is the highly anticipated Frieze New York, a fair which runs from May 2 to 5 on Manhattan's off-shooting Randall's Island.
The fair is filled with bougie amenities, picturesque springtime scenery, and complimentary cocktails to name just two, but the real highlight is still why everyone is there — its enormous art selection, with a gallery featuring over 1000 artists from around the world.
Even the most studied art enthusiast would have trouble parsing through it all, so we've got a few suggestions.
MING SMITH, JAM06
This year's winner of the Frieze New York 2019 Stand Prize comes courtesy of Jenkins Johnson Gallery and features the work of Ming Smith, a pioneering black artist. The trail-blazing Smith was the first black female photographer featured at MOMA and the first female member of Kamoinge. The featured works include portraits of James Baldwin and Tina Turner as well as anonymous subjects, making use of blurry shots and post-production techniques to create images that simultaneously feel dreamier and more real than almost anything on display at the fair, even from artists her work predates by decades.

Wow, blood moon fishing? Talk about risk vs. reward!
News about all versions of the game in one post, with more to be posted regularly?
This update is gonna be so cool!
Looks amazing, can't wait !
Thanks for the update! The new enemy looks amazing.
So the blood moon will be more interesting in the future. That's very cool.
I really look forward to having more reasons to jump back into vanilla Terraria. Even if it's been a long time at this point, all of these odds and ends coming out around this update keep making me more and more curious about it.
Tyro and GAMINGPEA_64 like this.
Ooh, I can't wait for the blood moon update. I also might get Terraria on the Switch, but probably not until I get my own (I use my brothers :/), it seems to be doing great though! Is there as official release date for 1.3.6? I've heard it might come out later this year, in 2018, but I've also heard that it will come out in 2019.
Wowza! Red you cheater, why don't you give anyone else some Switcherraria?
The one thing I can think of right now is: "But but but, what if it interrupts mah precious crate fishing?"
Which, of course, is dismissed by: "Wait a moment, new loot? Heck yeah!"
So many things to look forward to! I'm so excited for 1.3.6's release!
i haz no clue what that is, maybe the joke event with duke fishron?
Man, 1.3.6 changes so much about the game, y'all might as well call it 1.4 at this point.
Like really, in my head it's 1.4 now.

I'll be honest, I haven't been through a breakup in a very long time. I've been with Zack for over 6 years, so my last breakup was almost 7 years ago. It was rather uneventful, I hadn't been with him long and, to be honest, I didn't really care that much. However, something I am very experienced in? Friendship breakups.
I have lost a lot of friends in my time for many different reasons. Sometimes it was them, sometimes it was me, sometimes we just grew apart- that happens to everyone at some point with somebody. But, nevertheless, I have been shocked each and every time by just how hurt I actually was about it.
See, I don't think I've ever really thought it would.
In primary school, I'd fall out with people weekly (I once had an argument and told a girl I was the Gabriella of the school and she was the Sharpay, I was such a sassy little sh*t), and it would be the biggest drama in the world at the time. It would make me angry and I'd complain about it to my mum, but we always became friends again, because that's what kids do.
However, it wasn't until I reached secondary school that I actually started to value my friendships. I definitely didn't realise just how much I valued those friendships until they were over, and I think that's why it hurt so much. Plus, I lost a lot of friends at the same time for the same reason (we'll not go into that), and it genuinely broke my heart.
I'd never felt heartbreak like it. It was a shock to the system, I think, because I just didn't expect it.
I can't explain how much it hurt to not have those people nearby all of the time or on-call for when I had a problem.
Since, I've actually rekindled some of those friendships which is amazing because I never thought I would. But that's just a sidetone.
Anyway, because of this heartbreak, I kinda put a barrier up. I stopped getting what I considered to be *too close* to any friends I made because I was scared that it would end up in me being hurt. I basically had friends for the sake of it, and just to have someone to hang around with at school, and it was a bit rubbish.
Like I said, I rekindled my old friendships and I did let these people in because I knew them and they knew me, and it felt safer.
And, when I came to uni, I came with this mindset.
Throughout the whole of first year, I just had friends for the sake of it. I had friends just to sit with in lectures, and I'd never really go anywhere with them after class, even if they invited me, because I didn't want to get close to anyone. Don't get me wrong, I did genuinely like these people, it was just me thinking I was protecting myself.
But, ultimately, it made me very lonely.
I mean, if you read my HELP: I Don't Fit In! post, you'll know that I was feeling this way.
So, this year, I made it my mission to make some closer friends at uni, and to let the ones I already had into my life a bit more.
And it was great, for a while.
I made some really good friends, and it made me feel much happier. But, somewhere along the way, I started to overshare. I wasn't used to friendships (sad reality), and I didn't quite know what was TMI and what wasn't.
I feel like I've learnt this since though, and I've got that balance back.
Until, I went through another friendship breakup. And, I'll be honest, it really has hurt me. I feel like it really knocked me back by how much it hurt me, actually, as again I wasn't expecting it to upset me so much. It's hard when you think you know someone and then it turns out that you really don't, but hopefully I'm moving on from that now.
So yeah, this is my friendship story. It's been bad, ugly and good so far, and hopefully I have learnt from it- every experience is a learning lesson! I guess going into my twenties I do not really want the drama of friendships anymore. I'm a low maintenance friend who is good at other low-maintenance friendships, and that's good with me.
If you're currently going through something similar, please do not worry. What I have learnt from these experiences is that, even though these friendship breakups can hurt sometimes, we can also learn a lot from them and they often lead us to better things.

Art Brown, NJ Secretary of Agriculture (retired). Art's many contributions include establishment of "Jersey Fresh", funding for farmland preservation and service in numerous leadership positions for state and national agricultural organizations. Prior to his state post in 1982, he worked as an agricultural agent for Atlantic County and for Seabrook Farms, one of the largest facilities for freezing vegetables in the 1950-60's. Art holds a Degree in Animal Science from UMass, and a Masters in Horticulture from Rutgers. Along with his wife Carolyn, they raised 6 children and have many grandchildren and great grand children. The Browns' life's work is farming.
Prior to farming, I had a career in Marine Science. I worked for Rutgers University Marine Field Station and the Smithsonian. Most of my days were spent on the water hauling nets and sorting fish. In college as a Stockton student, I worked for Forsythe NWR. Now, as a farmer, I stay connected to my roots and host on-farm fundraisers for Marine Science and internships in Sustainability. Flashback to 2008 and how I became a farmer, after much sea sickness and deliberation over graduate school, I opted for an apprenticeship at Fernbrook Farm CSA. I did not grow up on a farm and never worked on a farm, yet this is how I wanted to live my life. In 2010 I started B&B's CSA; in addition, I manage B&B's Pick-Your-Own operation.
In addition to farming, Ryan owns and operates his own business, Creative Solutions Graphics. Also a Stockton graduate, Ryan's business serves South Jersey and beyond, offering professional graphic design and printing services for clients ranging from Atlantic City casinos to local small businesses. In farming, it is common to have a spouse with an off-farm job, and it is a necessity for now. In between graphic design projects, you will find Ryan on the farm harvesting, planting, irrigating, running Farm Shop and doing whatever else it takes to keep the farm running and a success.
Recent graduate of Del Val University (Crop Science); Carey works in all aspects of our operation from growing and maintaining crops to managing staff and operating equipment. We are proud of his efforts to pursue a career in agriculture and to help grow our business!


Our friend Ann gave these to the kids to try out. Don't know where she got them and we haven't seen them since. Kind of like M+M's except the taste is a bit different. The characters printed on the candies are great.
Ann, we are sending you lots and lots of smiley moods!
It kind of just hits you one day. For me it was last week when I realized for the first time that my commute home had been in daylight as opposed to darkness. For Ethan it was this morning when he said before school "Wow, it will be light for my walk to school from now on." Reid said it occurred to him earlier in the week when he thought Dad was fixing dinner too early in the day because it was daylight outside while he was cooking. And Kurt noticed it returning a few weeks ago when he saw the light hit a wall in our house that had not been lit like that for months. Only lasted 10 minutes, but that was his cue.
So now we are well on our way to the long lit days. I learned recently from my American Fulbright colleague working up in Svalbard that up there when the light rises above the horizon they then gain a full 15 minutes of light each day until they quickly go from 24 hours of darkness to 24 hours of daylight. The transition here is not as fast, but it is noticeable. And all of Oslo is ready!
So if you were in Svalbard, would you rather it be 24 hours of daylight or 24 hours of darkness??? You could learn a lot about someone from the answer!

Class Xth CBSE board exams to be optional
Union HRD minister Kapil Sibal on Monday said that Central Advisory Board of Education has approved making Class X examinations optional in all CBSE schools from academic year (2010-11). Sibal said that after Class X exam is made optional in CBSE, the states may follow the pattern based on the experience of the central board. Sibal also said that government will set up Educational Tribunals to look into malpractices and grievances of students.
The government on Monday also announced that it will introduce grading system in all Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) schools. As per sources, the CBSE has prepared the format of an aptitude exam, which schools can use to test Class X students on their level of understanding in each subject. The emphasis, however, will be on continuous and comprehensive evaluation (CCE) through the year instead of a single public exam at the end of Class X.

No Cellphones in School Bags, says CBSE
Youngsters may be inseparable from their mobile phones, but students and teachers of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) schools will have to learn to live without the omnipresent handset for as long as they are on campus.CBSE has issued a circular banning mobile phones in schools on July 29.
The circular states mobile phones are a major distraction and, at times, even misused. It specifically mentions mobile phones with cameras. "The cameras, which are a common feature now in most mobile phones, can also be misused. There have been enough lessons learnt in the past regarding the use of mobile phones and the Board strongly recommends that students should be convinced about not carrying mobile phones to the school," the circular states. There is however no penalty if a student or teacher is caught with one on campus.
As the board aims to create meaningful learning atmosphere in the classroom with this initiative even the principal, teachers and other staff too has been debarred from using mobile phones on school premises. CBSE helpline member and Calorx Public School principal said, "Mobile phones in school have more drawbacks than advantages. Even if mobiles are in silent mode students can make use for SMS during class."

Before the election I begged American Jews to take a look at Obama's history of siding with Arab causes and his anti Israel advisers so they could see the truth about Obama feelings toward Israel. I warned that if they wait till after the Election, it would be too late. For the most part my pleas and those of others like me were ignored. People preferred to listen to people like Marty Peretz, of the New Republic who now complains about Obama, but still refuses to acknowledge the fact that he helped to make him win.
President Obama's strongest supporters among Jewish leaders are deeply troubled by his recent Middle East initiatives, and some are questioning what he really believes, Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, tells Newsmax in an exclusive interview.
Though Hoenlein says he is only offering his personal views, the conference he represents is a political powerhouse that includes 50 major Jewish groups. Among them are the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), B'nai B'rith International, the American Jewish Congress, the American Jewish Committee, the Zionist Organization of America, Hadassah, and the Anti-Defamation League. Hoenlein has been the professional head of the conference since 1986, overseeing its day-to-day activities as the coordinating body for American Jews on issues of concern in the U.S. and globally.
Obama's speech to a Muslim audience in Cairo in early June was his second effort early in his administration to re-define America's posture toward the Arab world. In April, Obama traveled to Ankara, Turkey, to offer a similar outreach to the Muslim world.
But many in the Jewish community, including some of Obama's most ardent supporters, are troubled by his comments in the Middle East, especially his remarks to his Cairo audience. Others are concerned that, facing a multitude of problems on the domestic front, Obama has traveled twice to the Middle East without visiting Israel, America's stalwart ally in the region for more than a half-century.
"There's a lot of questioning going on about what he really believes and what does he really stand for," Hoenlein says of Obama's outreach.
Reaction to Obama's speech has drawn a range of reaction from many Jewish leaders. On the right, some have condemned it as a revision of the long and close relationship between the U.S. and Israel. But many on the left who backed Obama were also surprised and dismayed over Obama's speech. Such reactions from major Jewish leaders have largely remained beneath the surface, exchanged privately among them.
Hoenlein's comments to Newsmax are his first detailed appraisal of Obama's speech and represent the first time a major Jewish leader has spoken openly about the erosion of Jewish support for Obama.
According to the exit poll conducted by major press organizations during the 2008 election, Obama captured overwhelming support from American Jews, winning 78 percent of their vote. Despite the fact that Republicans are stronger on national security and the war on terror, Obama also won support from Jewish leaders who have been champions of Israel's security, such as the former Democratic mayor of New York, Edward I. Koch. Koch crossed party lines in 2004 to back George W. Bush.
In 2007, the Pew Research Center estimated the Muslim American population at 2.35 million.
Hoenlein is disturbed that Obama did not mention the Jewish people's ancient connection with the land of Israel.
Jews have claimed a connection to the land of their forefathers since 1400 B.C. Even after the Roman destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D. and the dispersal of many Jews throughout the Roman Empire, many Jews continued to reside in Jerusalem through the centuries, surviving various invasions. An Ottoman census of Jersualem conducted in 1845 showed Jews outnumbered Muslim Arabs by almost to 2 to 1 and were the dominant ethnic group in the region.
Hoenlein believes that the most troubling aspect of Obama's comments in his Cairo speech was his effort to equate the Nazi killing of more than six million Jews during the Holocaust with Israel's struggle with the Palestinians over six decades and the suffering caused by the displacement of the Palestinians.
"There's no comparison between the Holocaust, even if it was an indirect one, and what happened to Palestinians," Hoenlein declares.
But he quickly changed the subject, comparing Hitler's genocide of the Jews to the Palestinian struggle.
Hoenlein doesn't buy Obama's line of reasoning.
In discussing the Palestinian refugee problem, Obama failed to mention the other refugee problem involving nearly a million Jews, Hoenlein says. At the time of the creation of the modern state of Israel in 1948, Jews populated all of the major Arab cities from Baghdad in the East to Casablanca in the West.
As troubling as Obama's references to Israel and the Palestinians were, Hoenlein found the president's failure to mention the radical regime now running Tehran equally disturbing.
"What concerned us, concerned many people, was the message to Iran that we didn't hear," Hoenlein says.
Iran, controlled by powerful Shia Mullahs, is set to acquire a nuclear device. Many Sunni Muslim states, including Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, and Morocco, are concerned about this prospect.
Asked if he sees Obama's perceived tilt toward the Palestinians as reflecting some of the views of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr., Obama's former pastor who accused Israel of "ethnic cleansing" and "terrorism," Hoenlein says American Jews are concerned about Obama's policies today.


How would this computer fare in dolphin?
So, I finally decided that I'd build a computer. Yay me.
I'm on a pretty strict budget (Under 1000 CAD) so if you have any recommendations, try to make sure that they aren't huge.
I'm looking to play pretty much everything. From Animal Crossing to Xenoblade Chronicles.
That build will do Dolphin just fine on most games! As well as tons of PC games available today. I think the super stressful games you might struggle with because of the average clockspeed that you can't overclock? So I think like, maaaaybe the rogue squadron games might lag a little. That's all I can really think of. But, that's sort of difficult to build around without going over budget because you're limited to Canada things. But that's okay. Still a really good build.

I am looking to play other games and whatnot, which is why I have such a beefy graphics card there. I also don't play the Rouge Squadron games, Xenoblade will probably be the heaviest game I play, so I'm not worried if the Rouge Squadron games will stutter a bit. Would going with an OC-able CPU be worth it?
Xenoblade will play fine on it, I've played it just fine on a lesser CPU before. You'll get some shader compilation for a little bit when fighting new monsters, but those go away pretty quickly.
Ehhh, an overclockable CPU is nice, but it's a dice roll on how high you can overclock. You might get a chip that overclocks to 4.8 ghz! You might get one that only wants to push a couple hundred extra mhz. If you really wanted to push your budget for that extra performance, I would say it would be a better idea to go with Skylake CPUs, simply because intel chips (At least in the US) tend to not drop in price all that much. I don't know about Canada.
For your build, I wouldn't worry about it. We're pretty efficient with the JIT in the latest development builds of Dolphin, and the gamble of getting a good overclockable chip isn't worth pushing your budget for making the maybe... 3 or so games that might lag a little lag slightly less.
Sounds good. Shader Compilation is something that's unavoidable pretty much everywhere, so I'm not worried about a little bit of it.
Quote: Would going with an OC-able CPU be worth it?
PCSX2 will run fine on that build as well.
How Citra and Cemu runs now isn't a good indicator of how things will look down the road. They're both very new and not terribly accurate. They could run faster as they develop more (I'm sure Citra will run a lot faster once they get a proper JIT), or they could run slower when they get more accurate. Nobody really knows right now!

Also, I guess I might as well ask in this thread instead of making a new one: I sometimes with my current computer have problems running full speed when going 3x IR, and I'm wondering what's causing my problems. Is it my CPU? I would guess it is because a 960M seems to be good enough for dolphin.
Though I have two gaming desktops , I have no use for them nowadays .

At least, realer now than it was before.
Now that we've realized the dream, we can relish in what is a statue of Pure Awesome smack in the middle of Odaiba, Tokyo's Shiokaze Park. It was built to scale in honor of Mobile Suit Gundam's 30th anniversary.

Software supply chain management company Sonatype has announced a partnership with HackerOne, the leading hacker-powered security platform, to create a vulnerability reporting platform that will help make open source safer.
The Central Security Project (CSP), as the programme has been called, will bring together the ethical hacker and open source communities to streamline the process for reporting and resolving vulnerabilities discovered in libraries housed in The Central Repository, the world's largest collection of open source components.
"When individual developers or ethical hackers try and report a new vulnerability to an open source project they often wait for months to get a response, with no guarantee they'll ever actually receive one," said Brian Fox, co-founder and CTO of Sonatype.
How the Central Security Project Works?
Sonatype has added "Report a vulnerability" links to every project page within the Central Repository and OSS Index. These links will connect individual developers and ethical hackers to the HackerOne platform where they can easily report potential exploits. When vulnerabilities are reported, Sonatype's security research team will rapidly assess the report and, where appropriate, develop a fix.
HackerOne will communicate with relevant project owners and facilitate CVE assignment. Once a fix has been released, the vulnerability will be publicly disclosed through HackerOne's Hacktivity page, and the person who reported it will be credited for its discovery and submission.
The programme will initially focus on the Java ecosystem within the Central Repository. The companies plan to expand it to other ecosystems over time.

Qatar Career Development Centre QCDC Career Advising System (CAS).
Al-Mansoori and Kennedy hand out the completion certificate to a participant.
Qatar Career Development Centre (QCDC), a member of Qatar Foundation, has organised an advanced training programme on the use of its Career Advising System (CAS).
The one-week programme was implemented in partnership with the US embassy in Qatar and the Ministry of Education and Higher Education to provide training to over 90 academic counsellors and career practitioners.
The programme familiarised academic and career counsellors with the use of CAS, a unique career advising system which provides tailor-made solutions that factor in Qatar's social and economic conditions. QCDC developed CAS in co-operation with Kuder Inc., a world leader in career planning services, and various government entities, to integrate specialised IT solutions into the career guidance framework in Qatar.
QCDC rolled out CAS across public secondary schools in Qatar during the second semester of the 2017-2018 academic year within the framework of a memorandum of understanding between QCDC and the Ministry of Education and Higher Education.
Abdulla al-Mansoori, director, QCDC, said, "This advanced training programme builds on our achievements last year, including the training of 70 academic counsellors from different schools across Qatar.
"QCDC is working to promote capacity building and instill a culture of career guidance at the core of our schools' objectives. As Qatar pursues its journey toward promoting a knowledge-based economy, a balance must be struck between the demands of the labor market and youth aspirations," al-Mansoori added.
The training programme was delivered by J Clayton Kennedy, a certified senior business consultant and a global career development facilitator.


WSLM is BRINGING YOU AN OLD FASHIONED COUNTRY CHRISTMAS STRAIGHT OUT OF NASHVILLE.
WSLM's HOMEGROWN RADIO LIVE is getting in the Christmas spirit and planning our first ever Christmas concert coming up on Saturday, Dec. 6 at 7p in the Salem Middle School Auditorium.
WSLM 1220 AM is a member of the Country Music Association and White attended the CMA AWARDS show in early November and attended the taping of the CMA COUNTRY CHRISTMAS show.
White and WSLM HOMEGROWN RADIO co-host George Napier have created the first-ever WSLM HOMEGROWN RADIO CHRISTMAS SHOW set for Dec. 6 at 7p to benefit Shop with a Cop.
The event will be at the Salem Middle School Auditorium and feature local and regional acts singing classic Christmas tunes.
White said local favorites Country Bourne, Moonshine and Berries, Short Notice Band, Hoot von Woot (Napier's group featuring his wife, Megan), Deb Lyle Doyle and others will be performing.
White said the eight groups take the stage beginning at 7p. The Nashville groups will be closing out the show and a finale is planned including all the groups.
Get your tickets today at these locations — Country Cookin, Old National Bank, First Savings Bank, Mid Southern Savings Bank, Links Clothing, Salem Crossing and the Washington County Chamber of Commerce – just $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under.


The last few weeks have been a whirlwind here. Preparation for Christmas took an unexpected detour when I was in a car accident. Thankfully I am doing fine, just sore, though my car is not. Reminds me that stuff is just that, stuff. So we tweaked some of our week before Christmas plans, simplified some to-do lists, fit in some visits to the chiro, and spent a lot of time leaving messages for insurance people.
We spent a number of wonderful days with family over the holidays, with two trips out of town, multiple celebrations and a few other visits, consumed more food than I want to think about, and were blessed by wonderful memories and loving gifts. There is nothing like Christmas with a child -- the pure anticipation and excitement, he was even excited about the socks in his stocking!
My husband and I even managed to get a special night away to celebrate our 11th Anniversary to fit in (thanks to my parents for hosting a sleep-over for our little boy and my husband's parents for paying for the night at the resort -- both great presents in our book).
We are getting ready for New Years Eve celebration at home. The movie is picked out, mint candy cane ice cream is in our ice cream maker, and most of the prep is done for our fondue supper tonight. This year we are attempting to fondue with the kiddo in front of the tv. Last year we waited until he went to bed to enjoy our fondue. He's excited by the idea of eating in the living room since that otherwise doesn't happen.
So Farewell 2012! You have been a year of settling into our community and schedule, lots of learning, several great family trips, lots of outdoor fun, and so many wonderful memories watching our son learn and grow. We took big steps to get our adoption home study complete and figuring out what being a waiting family means. We are praying that 2013 will be a year of blessings, maybe even the blessing of a new baby, but we know with every blessing comes unique challenges and sometimes tough decisions. While we don't know what the year ahead will bring, we are so thankful that the Lord will be there to walk the road with us.

Q: Image buffer for custom swing component? Should I implement Image as back buffer myself or there are already made components or options to activate back buffer?
My goal is to persist drawings on window move and hide/show...
UPDATE
I have tried to use JPanel so that I think it should work if it has a buffer, but failed:
final JPanel panel = new JPanel();

            panel.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {

                @Override
                public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
                }

                @Override
                public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
                }

                @Override
                public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
                }

                @Override
                public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
                }

                @Override
                public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) panel.getGraphics();
                    g2d.drawOval(e.getX()-50, e.getY()-50, 100, 100);
                }
            });

            JFrame frame = new JFrame("JPanel Buffer Test");
            frame.add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
            frame.pack();
            frame.setBounds(100,100, 800, 600);
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
            frame.setVisible(true);

Here circles are drawn on mouse clicks but disappear if window resize. So, no buffer apparently exist.
If component has buffer I would be able to draw something on it and it will persist on resize.
May be there is some way to access JPanel's buffer, other that getGraphics?
UPDATE 2
Below is how I did buffer manually. My question is isn't it done in the library already.
Example resamples buffer on resize which is not mandatory.
    private BufferedImage bufferedImage = null;

@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    if( bufferedImage != null ) {
        g.drawImage(bufferedImage, 0, 0, null);
    }
}

@Override
public void setBounds(int x, int y, int width, int height) {

    if( bufferedImage == null ) {
        bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
    }
    else {
        if( bufferedImage.getWidth() != width || bufferedImage.getHeight() != height ) {
            BufferedImage scaledImage = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);

            AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform();
            at.scale((double)width/bufferedImage.getWidth(), (double)height/bufferedImage.getHeight());

            AffineTransformOp scaleOp =
                   new AffineTransformOp(at, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);

            bufferedImage = scaleOp.filter(bufferedImage, scaledImage);
        }
    }
    super.setBounds(x, y, width, height);
}

public Graphics2D createImageGraphics() {
    if( bufferedImage != null ) {
        return bufferedImage.createGraphics();
    }
    else {
        return null;
    }
}

A: All you need is a JPanel, which by default is automatically is double buffered (see here for more), you can than simply override paintComponent(..) and do all drawing there and than add the JPanel to a container like JFrame.
Have a look here for more:

*

*Performing Custom Painting
You might also want to fully control the repainting cycle of your JPanel, this can be done by calling setIgnoreRepaint(true).
Alternatively you may want to look at BufferStrategy and BufferCapabilities (which will allow you some advanced functions but for all intensive purposes JPanel with overriden paintComponent and automatic double buffering and setIgnoreRepaint(true) is equivalent), this is usually implemented with a Canvas like so:
BufferStrategy myStrategy;

while (!done) {
    Graphics g = myStrategy.getDrawGraphics();
    render(g);//draw the frame/graphics
    g.dispose();
    myStrategy.show();
}

I can think of very few reasons why you would ever need to storm out of Mother Earth Brewing Company's (MEBC) taproom in Vista. I've never experienced any beer or personality there that would send me out in a huff. I once encountered a collie with an inappropriate sense of nose-to-crotch boundaries there, but you can hardly fault MEBC for that. Still, should you need to beat a hasty retreat, Wavelength Brewing (236 Main St.) is the perfect storming distance away.
After nearly one year in preparation and development, Wavelength opened its doors just a hair before 2015. They've literally gutted the previous establishment from floor to ceiling, creating an almost-cavernous space to grow into. It'll be filled with tables or stools momentarily, but that seems a tragic misstep to me. Why walk away from the distinction of being the only tasting room in San Diego capable of hosting regulation-sized dodgeball matches? It's a niche that's long overdue to be filled.
While Wavelength Brewing is a catchy enough name, there were myriad reasons for its selection. One obvious source of inspiration was owner Hans Haas' background in professional sound design, but it extends beyond his enthusiasm for technology and music. He shared, "Our motto is 'Full Spectrum Beer,' and what that means is we like it all, from the lightest to the darkest, hoppy to the malty."
Unfortunately, the creativity employed in naming the brewery (not to mention the wonderfully nerdy alternate physics-laced motto, "So Good It Hz") was somehow exhausted by the time they got to naming the beers. Each item on the tap list is simply called out by its style category, which, in this context, feels like lovingly bringing a newborn into the world and then naming it "child."
Lackluster names notwithstanding, the tap list certainly delivered the promised diversity of styles. Wavelength offered a core set of six ales, representing everything from a bright red ale to a Cascadian dark ale. There was even a bonus grapefruit IPA to complement the standard IPA. That's not too shabby for being open for less than a week.
In general, I found each beer had some real character to it, if not necessarily in the dimensions I was hoping for. The Cascadian dark ale, for example, had some wonderful pine, earth and smoky aspects to it, but it felt somewhat thin and mild in the finish. Similarly, the IPA delivered a vibrant pineapple and citrus blast to the palate, but it lacked aromatics and tenacity in the finish. Conversely, the brown and Czech golden ale seemed more aggressively hopped than I would expect. My favorite by far was the grapefruit IPA, which emulated a mild, ruby-red grapefruit's sweet / sour blend with surprising fidelity. Tasting particulars aside, at only $10 for a flight of six beers, it's well worth giving them all a whirl to see how they work for you.
While Wavelength Brewing will not have its official grand opening until Jan. 31, it will still be open Wednesday through Sunday at noon and occasionally trot out new beers like the orange wheat for your consideration. And if you aren't feeling it for some reason, storming distance is applicable in both directions.

As cold weather is still among us in East Tennessee so are mice and other rodents trying to invade your home! Don't let these pesky guys take over! Sure you could set traps and do it your self, but you may have a bigger problem than you know and really you should call an exterminator. Preferred Pest, Termite & Turf are just the guys to call at (865) 234-4008 to get rid of these rodents!
You think you know about mice, but did you know that mice stay within 25 feet of their nests their entire lives? Did you know when baiting a trap you should use the exact same food the mice have been eating? Most people immediately bait with peanut butter. Did you know that mice have bad eyesight, so you need to position traps perpendicular and touching the wall? Did you know that mice will eat right through foam filler? Did you know that you should begin your mouse extermination by closing up holes found along the outside foundations of the house before you do any other closure work? And, did you know that mice can get through holes the size of a dime?
Mice are cleaver and did you know mice can chew on the bait and move it to other areas. They can easily drop the baits directly on dishes or in pots and pans. You could inadvertently cook the poison into your next meal. Yikes!
So don't spend loads of money trying to exterminate these guys yourself, take care of them the first time by calling Preferred Pest, Termite & Turf at (865) 234-4008.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Jaci from Shabby Desert Nest for a sliding door project in her master bedroom. The most common door we get asked to build is the door from the master bedroom to the master bathroom. This is a great place for a barn door most of the time, and it's a great way to add style and functional art to a room. With this door, we did two different wood textures with different colors and patterns. On the bedroom side there is a chevron pattern made with our tobacco barn grey and brown materials. On the flip-side there's our speckled white materials in a simple horizontal pattern. This door is gorgeous and really adds a lot to the space. See some of the build photos below and links to some Instagram pages where this door is featured. We did this installation and build as a story on our Instagram page as did Jaci. See the story in our features on our Instagram page before it goes away!

Metric Mile
How to beat the SAT (cd-r ep)
I wish I was Unpopular
Who are The Metric Mile?
The Metric Mile are electro-pop indie wonder boys from New York using drum machines, heart-tugging keyboards and guitars as their weapons of seduction.
Or maybe they are closet, shy obsessives who, having had their heads blown by the late 80's UK independent scene, started writing songs like these, four minute love letters for the discontented.
I can't decide, it's both I think, starting as the latter and ending as the former. I'm thinking too much about this, I just know this record is too clever and too innocence both at the same time and I can't believe that.
The 5 songs on the EP are as joyful sounding as they are desperate sounding to me; I've often wondered how jangling strings across major chords could make that happen. It must be the vocals too, the slightly forlorn boy singer pinned to skipping, carefree electronic music. I must have heard the near hopelessness of his voice one hundred times in the last few days, but it's no less affecting.
As I write this I can't remember any of the lyrics to the songs or even the song titles properly either. I could look them up, but it's really not important, I remember how the sound of this record makes me feel. This is what's important to me, the joyful and the desperate, the clever and the innocent, dreaming and thinking when I close my eyes.
So, I'm dreaming and thinking of the times I'd be glad of getting caught in summer showers just so I could stand in shop doorways, take deep breaths and just listen because, really, nothing smells or sounds like that, does it? Or the times when a night out was worth it just because it meant catching the night bus home, ignoring the drunken rowdiness and watching Newcastle unfurl through the darkness across Byker Bridge.
This record has brought on such whimsical notions, thoughts I'd stored away a long time ago, secretly hoping they were going to happen again someday.
Ian Cowen
Hey, where'd the summer go?

Even if you've never heard of the Canadian label releasing this compilation, or any of the 24 artists contributing to it, its title and cover will give you a fair idea of the music contained within. Bringing together assorted performers from as far afield as Australia, Brazil, Scandinavia and the Phillippines, as well as the USA, UK and Canada, the CD is an enjoyable hour of insight into a select choice of leftfield indie - the challenge, as I see it, being to describe it without using the words 'sunny' and 'indiepop'.
Opener 'Turncoats' sets the tone, its sweet melody and "ba-ba-ba-da-ba" ending marking Canadian band Columbus as a name worth further investigation. At 3 and a half minutes it's one of the longest tracks on the record; clearly the idea is to give only a brief taste of each name and move onto the next before any become boring. This is a reasonable ploy given that each song differs from its predecessor, if only sometimes in subtle ways. Before you know it, you find yourself immersed in the psychedelia of the state of Samuel, whose offering 'Why' wouldn't sound amiss on an Elephant 6 collection, and the simple charm of the Film Stills.
It could be argued that some of the tracks here are a little too short -the Christmas Sweaters offer 'July', effectively a minute-long interlude - but that this is the album's biggest fault speaks volumes. Over the 24 songs the quality does not dip, the tunes are almost relentless, and there are plenty "Ooh, who's this?" reach-for-the-tracklisting moments. The order has been chosen well, with livelier, happier cuts grabbing the attention early on and more understated, reflective pieces such as Ultrasport's 'Sharing Secrets' fitting in snugly later.
A major problem facing anyone compiling a disc such as this one is balancing the representation of each individual artist with trying to create a semi-coherent album out of their work. This is tricky with as many as 24 bands to consider, and perhaps 58 minutes is a little on the short side, but on the whole the impression is of success rather than failure. It is a fair, balanced and varied reflection of the genre it documents. There is something here for everyone, and as the title suggests, it'll sound just perfect when the nights begin to draw in.

To cope with the demand for tickets, the Railways has decided to increase the advance reservation period from 90 days to 120 days from March 10.
Centre for Railway Information System (CRIS) will make the necessary changes in the software for this purpose.
The four-month advance reservation period will also help those who travel during festivals or summer vacation period, he said.
However, there will be no change in case of certain short distance trains like Taj Express and Gomti Express. "The advance reservation period for these trains are 15 days and it will remain unchanged," the official said.
There will also be no change in case of the limit of 360 days for foreign tourists.
Railways has earlier reduced the Tatkal booking period from 48 hours to 24 hours to prevent misuse of the facility.

Santa to Visit Yankee Air Museum
December 22, 2018 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
« FREE presentation and book sale/signing by best-selling author Jeff Jay – "Navigating Grace: A Solo Voyage of Survival and Redemption"
The Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum Presents Hand-On Holidays Hackathon – Games! »
Yankee Air Museum today announced that one of the world's premier aviators, Santa Claus, will be coming to the Museum on Saturday, December 22, 2018. Santa declassified his itinerary to allow the announcement and provided few details on this special visit. Due to the training, feeding and resting schedules of his reindeer prior to their big flight, Santa will arrive by helicopter. A landing zone on the north side of the museum will be cleared for Santa's landing at 11:00 a.m. Yankee Air Museum is located on the east side of historic Willow Run Airport, 47884 D Street, Belleville, Michigan, 48111. Everyone is welcome to attend, and children's admission is free all day, adults free until 11:30 a.m.
"I personally worked with Santa's security detail to arrange this visit," said Kevin Walsh, Executive Director of the Museum. "It's important for all children to have an opportunity to talk with Santa and this is one of Santa's last visits before Christmas Eve. We are honored to have him come here."
Upon landing, Santa will be escorted into the Museum where he will greet all the good boys and girls. He will be giving out candy canes and passes for a free visit to Yankee Air Museum in the future.
Walsh said the Museum hosted Santa Claus in the past and it was very informative, however the technology of his sleigh was never revealed. According to Walsh, Santa is always generous in his comments about historic aviation technology, but he also reminds people that he was flying long before the Wright Brothers. Walsh said he hopes to closely examine Santa's sleigh one day.
"As a Museum, it's important for us to bring heroes of aviation to the community, and we think Santa Claus, and his mission, should always be at the forefront of aerospace research," concluded Walsh.

1. Kids who eat breakfast tend to eat healthier overall and are more likely to participate in physical activities. In the morning kids' bodies need to refuel for the day after going without food for 8-12 hours. Skipping breakfast makes kids feel tired, restless, or irritable. And, their mood and energy can drop by midmorning if they don't eat at least a small morning meal.
2. Breakfast can help keep kids' weight in check. Breakfast kick starts the body's metabolism–the process by which the body converts the fuel in food to energy. When the metabolism gets moving, the body starts burning calories. People who don't eat breakfat often consume more calories throughout the day and are more likely to be overweight.
3. Choosing breakfast foods that are rich in whole grains, fiber and protein while low in added sugar can boost kids' attention span, concentration, and memory, which they need to learn in school. Cream of the West whole grain prducts, we're happy to say, fit all of these nutritional requirements. To see what I mean, check the Cream of the West products list.
1. Stock your kitchen with healthy breakfast options. Hint: Cream of the West whole grain hot cereals are a nutritious, economical choice.
2. Prepare as much as you can the night before. For example, presoak Cream of the West Roasted Ranch Oats. Bring them to a boil the next morning and simmer for 4 minutes for an old-fashioned creamy oatmeal. Roasted Wheat and 7-Grain cook up in 4-5 minutes right out of the box.
3. Get everyone up 10 minutes earlier.
4. Let the kids help plan and prepare breakfast.
5. Have a grab-and-go alternative (fresh fruit, yogurt, Montana Crunch) on days when there is little or no time to eat.
What NOT to serve for breakfast is important too. READ THE NUTRITIONAL LABELS OF PRODUCTS CAREFULLY before you toss 'too easy' breakfast items, like toaster pastries or breakfast bars, in your shopping cart. They will not solve your problem. Many have no more nutritional value than a candy bar and are high in sugar.
Adapted from an article in Gallatin Gateway School Newspaper, February 2010.


Each highly specialized, private session will focus on developing swim skills for a child who has special needs. We provide social stories, visual and physical prompts, and adapted water activities. Often, these children are not able to participate or have not experienced success in typical, community swimming programs. For best swimming results, children should attend swim lessons at least weekly. Sessions are typically 30 minutes.
Taking advantage of the buoyancy and hydro-static pressure, we offer 1:1 treatment to improve sensory motor skills, fine and gross motor skills as well as endurance. Aquatic Therapy is typically one time per week to compliment the child's current clinic services. Aquatic therapy sessions are generally 30 minutes. Pediatric Aquatic Therapy of is an out-of-network provider.
Pediatric Aquatic Therapy is committed to developing the skills needed to increase participation in our local community activities including snorkeling, paddle boarding, surfing, scuba diving and boating. We will practice activities in the pool that will easily transfer to these recreational opportunities. We coordinate with local and national organizations to bring adapted aquatic activities to the Sarasota, Bradenton, and Lakewood Ranch area.
The water slows the child down and allows him to react and experiment with the consequences of movement.
The hydro-static pressure of the water gives the body 360 degrees of deep pressure allowing the child's sensory system to regulate throughout the entire therapy session. This allows the child to have greater focus on gaining new skills.
Therapy in an aquatic environment allows children to learn new movements that would otherwise be too difficult to master on land. The child can practice new motor skills and generalize the skill to land -based therapy sessions.
Swimming is fun and enjoyable making achieving therapy goals considerably easier!

Q: Java change cursorImage with lwjgl Cursor function I want to change the cursor at any time of my program by giving a filename.
I call:
setCursor(defaultcursor);

The function setCursor looks like this:
private void setCursor(String image)
    {
        File file = new File("res/Cursors/"+image+".png");

        IntBuffer ib = null;
        try {
            FileChannel fc = new FileInputStream(file).getChannel();
            ib = fc.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, fc.size())
                    .order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN).asIntBuffer();

            ib.rewind();
        } catch (IOException e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }

        try
        {
            org.lwjgl.input.Cursor cursor = new org.lwjgl.input.Cursor(32, 32, 0, 0, 1, ib, null);
            Mouse.setNativeCursor(cursor);
        }
        catch (LWJGLException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

The problem is that all I see on my screen are a few colorful pixels. Not at all the Image I want to have.
And when I want to increase the width and height. I get this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Number of remaining buffer elements is 184, must be at least 1024. Because at most 1024 elements can be returned, a buffer with at least 1024 elements is required, regardless of actual returned element count

Concerns over illegal cannabis stores go unanswered
Published on October 22, 2020 by David Wylie
Mike Farnworth tours the first BC Cannabis Store location in Kamloops in 2018.
On the cusp of a BC election, none of the major parties want to talk about the thorny issue of shutting down illegal dispensaries.
Cannabis retailers have been expressing frustration over a lack of enforcement when it comes to unlicensed dispensaries prevalent throughout Interior BC. They argue they are losing money and are increasingly at risk of going out of business after investing their life's saving into the costs of complying with the law.
Meanwhile, unlicensed stores and websites selling unlicensed products are doing business in plain sight.
None of the three big parties or their leaders answered requests from the oz. for an interview or statement on where they stand on the issue. BC residents go to the polls on Saturday, Oct. 24.
Emails obtained by the oz. show retailers have been trying to work with officials and communicating their concerns with the RCMP's Community Safety Unit and the BC Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch, but they're being bounced back and forth. Government defers to the RCMP, while the RCMP defers to the government—and nobody claims responsibility.
"If you have not spoken to the MLA or MP about your concerns that may be an option as well," says one RCMP staff sergeant in the email chain.
Yet, an email from NDP Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth says it's not up to him.
"The province does not provide operational direction to police forces," he states.
Farnworth told them he's "sympathetic to the alleged impacts" on their business, and he acknowledged storefront and online illegal operators are an ongoing problem.
However, he rejected proposed financial aid measures to help legal stores, saying it would be impossible to determine which particular legal retail operators are actually impacted.
The RCMP has not yet responded to a request for comment.
Barely any attention to paid cannabis
Cannabis is becoming an increasingly important legal market in BC, with companies in the industry employing thousands of people throughout the province in retail, production, and service.
Yet it hasn't received much attention in the election at this important junction.
There is no mention of cannabis in the BC Liberals platform. Though the BC Liberals have promised to cut the PST, that doesn't include most cannabis products.
The Green Party platform mentions it once in their 'Food Secure BC' strategy, but it's short on details: "Enabling the growing of high value crops, such as cannabis, to supplement farm income."
The BC NDP have announced some policies that would support the nascent industry, including direct delivery from producers to retailers, as well as farm-gate cannabis that would allow consumers to buy from producers on-site.
There are also continuing problems that have not yet been addressed, such as speeding up the licensing process. Some of those trying to go the legal route have been waiting more than a year for their provincial approval as they continue to pay their leases and other costs without being able to sell.
NDP candidate Brittny Anderson has taken issue in her campaign over Section 37 of the BC Cannabis Control Regulation, which prohibits the promotion of any place to consume or to spend time after consuming cannabis. That significantly limits the ability for the cannabis industry to thrive, and in many cases limits potential business owners to operate all together, she said.
"In British Columbia, and specifically in the Kootenays, there is a historical legacy of cannabis cultivation and a clear acknowledgment that the cannabis industry is a pillar of our regional economy," she says.
One issue that some candidates from all parties do agree on is ending background checks for cannabis store employees.

As readers know, I joined a couple of other members of the S Scale Workshop – plus a few friends – to present our Free-mo style modular layout at The North Shore Train Show – this past weekend in Laval, Québec.
Our Québec member, Simon Parent, did most of the work to prepare for this show. In addition to being the Workshop's point of contact with the organizers, Simon also worked to finish two new reverse loops in time for the show. Unlike previous shows, which relied upon (short) train-length turntables, this time out we were able to turn, run and stage much longer trains – and everybody agreed it was wonderful to see these longer trains make their way around the layout.
Well done, Simon: Take a bow.
In all, Simon contributed more than 50 feet of modules to our exhibit.
My two modules – Judge Farm and Division Street – were used to form the long S-curve up the right-hand side of the lead photo.
I've been working on these for the last three months or so, and documenting their progress for TrainMasters TV. I was pleased – and relieved! – at how well they performed on their first outing.
At 22 feet, this stretch of open country running was taken advantage of by many operators, who used the S curve to stretch out the slack. Everybody enjoyed hitting the Division Street crossing at speed – and even though I planned these two modules so they could be used separately, I suspect they'll often be located together at shows so we can do this.
My vignettes around sheep herding were also well received. I was pleasantly surprised to have a few people more interested in stock dog trials than in the trains themselves, and had some great conversations about Border collies and other working dogs.
Simon, Andy and I were joined by friends Claude Demers, Fredrick Adlhock and Brian Nicholson. While they did not have modules, they were invaluable in helping us set up, run trains and tear down. We could not have done it without them! Thanks guys!
Our friend and fellow Workshop member Jim Martin also deserves special mention. He was unable to make this show, but he made sure we had the signs, a train turntable, and other materials that helped us look good. He even loaned Fredrick some S scale equipment to help populate the layout. Thanks, Jim!
This was great on the legs and feet – much better than standing on concrete for two days. That said, we could've used some floor-tile-sized pieces of plywood to put under each module leg to prevent the legs from sinking into the floor! That played havoc with levelling the layout, not to mention keeping it level over the course of the exhibition. That said, we didn't run into any major problems with unwanted grades.
The organizers did a fine job of making us feel welcome, too. Unlike many shows I've attended, the organizers made the space available to us at noon on Friday for set-up, and brought in pizza and drinks for us around 3:00 pm. We were set up in plenty of time, and everything was tested and ready for the public the next day. Some of us even managed to get a good night's sleep before the show. Well done!
Now that I have a couple of modules and I know that they work, I'm looking forward to more exhibition opportunities with the Workshop. And we did get a couple of invites to other shows – including a very tempting invite to exhibit at Exporail – Canada's national railway museum.
But for now, I'm looking forward to taking a day or two to do nothing train-related, except possibly cleaning up my work room and layout space. And then I'm looking forward to getting back to work on the Port Rowan branch. I have a number of projects on the go and will of course share my progress here as they develop.
Thanks again to my fellow members of the Workshop, to the show organizers, and to those who attended and stopped to say hello. As I said earlier: What a great time!

The Workshop display is impressive….I think your new modules really came to life with the vignettes that you added.
Absolutely brilliant Trevor. Love the rows of leftover crops seeding themselves after harvest. Great looking modules.
The layout is really a pleasure to view….very well done, and it's obvious it will just continue to improve.
very nice work, impressive layout and looks like it ran well from the videos!
Thanks for sharing this, and the other, posts.
