Louth, gem of the Wolds
Melanie Burton
Known as the capital of the Lincolnshire Wolds, this attractive historic market town with its rich heritage, range of independent shops and businesses and wealth of visitor attractions, is well and truly on the tourism map.
Being in the heart of a rich agricultural area, the town is highly prized for its award- winning butchers, grocers, bakers and markets and it can also boast a number of long-established family run firms that uphold the traditional values and personal customer service.
One such firm is Luck of Louth, which was established in 1985 and offers a traditional English country shopping experience. It stocks an extensive range of the finest quality classic countrywear, men's and women's clothing and accessories, footwear, leather goods and luggage. Luck of Louth has always focused on providing customers with quality and value from trusted brands and it continues to do so.
Pocklington's bakery was established in 1924 by Cyril Pocklington, the third youngest of fourteen children of Louth Miller James Pocklington. Best known for its famous Lincolnshire Plumbread, it has won awards for its product quality and customer service in its shops. Although products are not available to buy from the bakery it supplies many businesses right across the county from the Humber to the Wash.
Another award-winning business in the town is Meridian Meats, which has just won a Diamond Award at the national Smithfields Awards in London for its new ready meals and three honours in the British Pie Awards.
It is fair to say that many visitors to Louth are holidaymakers on the East Coast but once they set foot in the town, there is plenty for them to see.
The town's skyline is dominated by St James' Church, with its 295ft tall tower, which makes it the tallest Anglican parish church in the United Kingdom. The building of the spire commenced in 1501 and was finally completed in 1515.
The mainly fifteenth-century parish church, the third building on the site succeeding eleventh and thirteenth-century structures, is widely recognised as one of the finest late medieval churches in the country and it is a magnet for tourists from all over the world.
The spire was hit by lightning in 1844 and scaffolding had to be put up so repairs could be carried out. That was when local journalist William Brown climbed to the top to sketch the 360-degree view from the top. He then created two canvases called Brown's Panorama. It is an all-round view of the town and district as seen from the top of the spire on a summer's day in the 1840s. It shows the pattern of streets and the market place, with a roofscape little changed today.
The detail of activity in the foreground reflects the life of the town with horse-drawn vehicles, ladies shopping, a funeral, new garden designs, and haystacks.
The Wolds has been a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) for more than forty years and is the highest land in eastern England between Kent and Yorkshire, with fine views to the Pennines in the west and the coast to the east.
Louth developed where the ancient trackway along the Wolds, known as the Barton Street, crossed the River Lud. The town is east of a gorge carved into the Wolds that forms the Hubbard's Hills. This area was formed from a glacial overspill channel in the last glacial period. The River Lud meanders through the gorge before entering the town.
In 1875 a young Swiss teacher, Auguste Alphonse Pahud arrived in Louth to teach French and German to the boys at King Edward VI School. He met and fell in love with Annie Grant, the daughter of a wealthy farmer from Withern, and the couple married twelve years later.
They made their home at The Limes in Westgate but when Auguste retired from the teaching profession, like many rich people of this time, he spent much time travelling extensively.
The inseparable couple were on their way to the continent to improve Annie's health when she died suddenly in London in 1899. Auguste was inconsolable, becoming something of a hermit.
It all became too much for him and after drawing up his will in July 1902 he also died. However, in his £25,000 will Auguste left instructions that a board of trustees should be set up to distribute his fortune to celebrate the memory of his dear wife.
These seven wise men, who are remembered on the plaque on the memorial in the centre of Hubbards Hills, decided to invest £1,000 to fund a new window in Mrs Pahud's memory at the parish church.
The Limes was given to launch the Girls' Grammar School, a fund was set up to assist the poor in the parish of Withern, where Annie's parents had farmed, and it was agreed to buy Hubbard's Hills on the outskirts of the town as a lasting memorial to Auguste's beloved wife.
The land was bought from the Lord of the Manor at Hallington, Mr J Ward, for the princely sum of just over £2,000 – the sale included the lake and the watermill on Crowtree Lane.
Louth Borough Council, which had cared for the Hills since it opened, disappeared with local government re-organisation in 1974, to be replaced by Louth Town Council and East Lindsey District. A Joint Management Committee was formed, comprising officers and councillors representing both organisations, and took over running Hubbard's Hills with East Lindsey carrying out the maintenance, from cleaning the loos to cutting the grass; collecting the rubbish to overseeing tree and river works.
Late in 2008 Louth Town Council received the unexpected news that the Hills were to be returned to the town! It was agreed to form a charity, which would be able to apply for grants not open to local government, and this came into being on 1st April 2009. The rules dictated that the community had to outnumber councillors on the governing body and five local people with specialised interests joined the group.
A Maintenance Plan was drawn up with help from tree expert, Mark Hudson and Ruth Snelson, the chalk stream officer working with the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB team.
The Hills are now part funded by Louth Town Council and grants from outside bodies.
LOUTH SKATE PARK
Eleven years of campaigning for a skate park facility in Louth have paid off for a group of dedicated parents and completion is just around the corner.
Work on Lincolnshire's newest skate park is underway and it is hoped that it will be ready to use soon.
The campaign has been spearheaded by community group LouthXSports, which was formed by John and Yvonne Andrews, whose son Liam kicked it all off as a child.
"Liam, who is now 23, started it off with an email to Lincolnshire County Council and it all snowballed from there," said John.
"We did a site survey, held consultations and in 2010 held a school taster day to establish whether there was a need for a skate-park. It was a good day, well attended by about fifty youngsters and it spurred us on."
Planning approval was obtained in 2015 and was a unanimous decision but it took a while to decide which was the best site for the facility.
"Once we got approval, we applied for grants and were successful. This wouldn't be possible without the successful application to the Veolia Environmental Trust through the Landfill Community Trust which gave £38,000 towards the project," said John.
But it isn't just the financial support that has helped the project reach its final stage; the support from the community and local businesses has played an important role.
"The feedback on Facebook has been astronomical. Local businesses in Louth have been tremendous, supporting us by having collection boxes and donating raffle prizes. The Residents' Association at Beech Grove had money allocated to them for a play area for children and they donated £2,000 to the group.
"It has been a local effort and I am really chuffed. It is quite amazing and I have had the privilege of being chair of the group. For a small group of parents it has been a lot of hard work and long nights preparing the bids but we are really looking forward to the opening. This also wouldn't be possible without East Lindsey District Council and Magna Vitae being in on the agreement.
"They are helping us progress and it is the LouthXSports and Magna Vitae that are going to manage the project."
International BMX star Evie Wood, who comes from Louth, has supported the project and is a youth representative on the LouthXSports committee. She is ranked 22nd in the world in the BMX cycle championships and has become the skate park's mascot.
"My children are grown up now but Liam intends to be at the open day and Evie will be there as well," said John.
MERIDIAN MEATS
Louth is renowned for its award-winning independent traders and one has more reason to celebrate at the moment than most.
Meridian Meats has just won a Diamond Award at the prestigious national Smithfields Awards in London for its new ready meals and three honours in the British Pie Awards.
Owner Jim Sutclifffe said: "Our ready meals are a really new product. We have been making them for just over a year now but we had to put a lot of investment into the business to do it.
"We had to put in a brand new commercial production kitchen, which was quite a big step and a bit of a gamble for us. We are over the moon with the award. It is such a prestigious award and it is a huge category and with them being a new product, it is amazing that we won. We couldn't have asked for anything better."
One thing that took Jim by surprise was that, initially, he thought they would become popular as a midweek meal but, because they aimed at the higher end of the market, this is now a weekend product.
"They have taken the place of the takeaway or eating out in a restaurant. We do a side dish and a bottle of wine for a nice night in. It is growing very well and going from strength to strength. We thought it was a bit of a niche sector of the market and it seems they are working very well."
Jim is hoping to eventually expand the range and offer desserts, starters and pâtés.
As well as the Smithfields Award, the business also scooped two silver and a bronze in the British Pie Awards.
"That is a difficult competition. To win even a bronze medal there is no mean feat. You could enter six products and not get a medal, so to pick up three is amazing."
The business has been expanding its bakery over the last twelve to eighteen months and expects to expand it more over the coming year.
"We have gone from not having a baker to having one full-time this year. He has been developing the bakery range with us and the job has grown with him as he has grown with the job," said Jim.
"Within the bakery department we have made changes and adjustments that have gone right. We use a lot of flour from the Maud Foster Mill at Boston and that is something very key to the way we run the business because we want to keep it local and accountable. We know where everything comes from.
"There is always room for improvement but the way forward is to keep tweaking things and adjusting to make things better all the time."
Meridian Meats' shop in Eastgate has been established in Louth for ten years but the business has been going for about fifteen years in total.
COLOUR CLIENTS ARE VIPS
A hairdressing salon in Louth has just undergone a total refurbishment and has re-opened with new management, a new customer focused ethos and a new identity.
The Salon (Louth) in Bridge Street – former site of The Vestry – has also introduced a new element to the salon which is proving highly popular. The VIP Colour Lounge provides a unique customer experience for colour service clients.
Co-owner Adrian Matthews said: "Customers having a hair colour service, where dye or bleach needs time to develop on the hair, now have a comfortable, dedicated waiting lounge to enjoy.
"The lounge offers massage chairs, free wi-fi, charging points for mobile phones and tablets and has a selection of freshly ground coffees, teas, infusions and hot chocolate as well as a range of cold soft drinks.
"As far as we know, no other hair salons locally offer anything similar. The VIP Colour Lounge is something special to us and feedback from customers so far is that people really like the idea."
Adrian and his wife Julia have totally refurbished The Salon since December when The Vestry closed.
"There is a completely different feel about the place now. A fresh new look, a more professional attitude and much more focused to customer's needs. It is a nice, friendly place to relax while you have your hair done," said Adrian.
The Salon provides a range of hairdressing services including haircuts, hair colours and highlights and hair conditioning treatments for men's hair, ladies hair and children, as well as offering a Sports Massage service and Reiki healing. All first time customers receive a 25% discount too.

RURAL PROPERTY AND LAND SPECIALISTS
For more than 165 years Masons have upheld traditional business values while supporting the rural community.
Founded in 1850, the Louth based company has evolved and kept pace with a growing demand from their clients for a wide portfolio of land and property services.
Masons' offices are located in a handsome town house at the head of the Cornmarket. From here their staff provide services to cover all property sectors. Their teams of qualified professionals, including chartered surveyors, valuers, land agents, letting agents, auctioneers and negotiators offer advise and services for residential and property sales and letting, development land, farm and land agency, auctions, professional services, agricultural and farming sector clients.
The business runs as three divisions: Property Agency and Lettings; the rural property Professional Consultancy and the Louth Livestock Market, which is run in partnership with Willsons Chartered Surveyors.
Masons are well known for their expertise in the sale, letting or purchase of rural and equestrian properties. Managing partner, Simon Williams, has overseen the expansion of the business moving into the twenty-first century. He said: "Equestrian and residential sales are a natural extension of our land agency services. Each client is offered a tailored, professional solution, designed to meet their financial circumstances and lifestyle choice."
"Many sectors including lettings and tax planning have become highly regulated," said Simon, "but we believe that a professional practice goes hand in hand with traditional values to serve successive generations of local families within the local, rural community.
"I get chance to catch up with some of them each Thursday at Louth Cattle Market. Auctioneering and managing the market helps us to keep our roots firmly planted in the Louth community."
This is perhaps the key to Masons as an enduring and successful company and the strides it is taking towards a third century in business.

A VENUE OF MANY FACETS
A luxurious retreat is the best way to describe the Kenwick Park Hotel, which is set within the magnificent grounds of the 320-acre Kenwick Park Estate, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the outskirts of Louth.
From putting to pampering, it has everything anyone would need for a truly relaxing break.
Its championship standard 18-hole golf course is an ideal place to take time out or clinch a deal, while the luxurious leisure club is great for toning up or winding down.
The course greens are matched with fairways carved through mature woodland. Nine lakes and a Grade II listed clubhouse enhance the traditional feel, with quality facilities that include a practice area and professional tuition.
The clubhouse is a beautiful nineteenth-century Grade II listed building, which was originally the Kenwick Estate's Coach House and Stable Block.
It was sensitively converted to provide all the facilities expected of a prestigious golf club and was fully refurbished at the beginning of 2011.
Guests can also enjoy full use of the state-of-the-art, brand new for 2016 ClubSpa spa facilities which include a twenty metre indoor swimming pool with stunning timber roof ceiling, poolside thermal spa suite with tepidarium, sauna with salt wall, steamroom, ice room, feature showers, foot spas, jacuzzi style spa pool, outdoor hydrotherapy pool, ten treatment rooms including two twin rooms, relaxation room for post treatment relaxation and a gymnasium.
Kenwick Park Hotel has become synonymous with hosting classic and unique weddings over the past fifteen years.
In 1995 it became the first hotel in Lincolnshire to gain a licence to hold civil ceremonies, and more recently it also became a popular venue for the renewal of wedding vows, naming ceremonies and partnership registration ceremonies.
Kenwick Park Estate was established as a gracious nineteenth-century sporting estate. It included 160 acres of mature mixed woodland, a period coach house and Kenwick Hall, since converted to Kenwick Park Hotel.
It is within this idyllic nineteenth-century setting that the current owners set out in early 1990 to create a modern sporting estate which today is called the Kenwick Park Estate.
THE BROWN COW
Sitting at the top of Church Street on the junction with Newmarket, The Brown Cow enjoys a sunny south facing position. With this in mind the current owners, husband and wife Nigel and Victoria Hopper created 'The Crew Yard', a new outdoor area. With the addition of two large French doors opening from the restaurant, the area becomes an outstanding entertainment space, allowing them to now cater for private BBQ parties in addition to the usual hot or cold buffet options or more formal dining set menu ideas in the restaurant.
Using fresh produce and meat from local suppliers and their own seasonal produce from their 'Plot16' allotment, the menu can easily be adapted for the changing dietary and allergy needs of today's diner.
The well stocked bar has five real ales, an extensive wine list and a popular premium craft gin selection.
The quality of the real ales and the family friendly, relaxed atmosphere has earned The Brown Cow the title of Louth & District CAMRA Town Pub of the Year 2017.
EVE & RANSHAW
Having stood the test of time for over 235 years as arguably the county's oldest independent department store, Eve & Ranshaw can proudly boast itself as one of Louth's most enduring success stories.
Voted Countryfile Market Town of the Year 2012, Louth has an enviably eclectic mix of independent shops, making it a real retail destination for the discerning shopper.
Business may have changed over the years but Eve & Ranshaw have kept abreast of the times, adapting to the ever changing shopping trends yet always managing to maintain its ethos for choice, quality, value and service. On the cusp of a new season David Sandwith, Eve & Ranshaw's owner, is looking forward to a busy summer.
He said: "With the warmer days and lighter evenings we are full of optimism for the future. New brands are joining our already successful portfolio. We are delighted to introduce both Mistral and Brakeburn to our ladies fashion department as the newest additions to our increasingly popular lifestyle offer, sitting comfortably alongside Joules, Weird Fish, Seasalt, Masai and many more."

Genes newly associated with body weight
Research Update Dec. 22, 2017
Scientists' recent analysis of hundreds of thousands of human genomes has identified new links between certain gene sequence variations and body mass index (BMI), a measure of weight relative to height. Obesity is a complex condition that can be caused by multiple factors, including a person's genes. Identifying the genes (and the specific natural variations in those genes) that contribute to body weight regulation can provide new information on what causes obesity and how best to treat it. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been used to rapidly scan the DNA of large groups of study participants, with the aim of finding genetic variations linked to differences in BMI. Previously, analysis of common variations identified though GWAS have led to identification of some of the mechanisms involved in regulating body weight. It has been challenging, though, to identify what specific genetic variants govern this regulation, as identified variants were sometimes outside the "exome"—regions of the genome that code for proteins—making it unclear how those variants affect cell function. Further, most GWAS to date have identified fairly common variations, and less common variations may also shed light on the biology of obesity. To identify more BMI-specific genes and gene variants, researchers scanned only the exomes of over 700,000 individuals who participated in 125 clinical studies, looking for uncommon or rare gene variants that correlated with higher or lower BMI. The study identified 14 uncommon gene variants in 13 genes, with one of the variants only being associated with BMI in females. Eight of these genes had never before been implicated in human obesity. Further investigation of these variants showed that the four that were least common affected BMI on average about 10 times more strongly than more common, previously identified obesity-related variants. Researchers found that many of these newly BMI-associated rare gene variants coded for proteins that are enriched in the brain, and further research is needed to fully understand their role in body weight. None of the identified variants contributed significantly to BMI variation in the overall population, but they may substantially affect the weight of individual people. Overall, these findings provide new insight into the causes of obesity, which could lead to new therapeutic targets and more personalized obesity treatments.

Today's guest is Peter Kirby, CEO of Kuvera. Peter and his co-founder Mahesh Paolini-Subramanya were first involved with the Factom project, before they stepped away to pursue Kuvera. They did this because they saw an interesting opportunity to move real-world assets on to the blockchain. Peter explains how Kuvera will be useful in solving real-world problems like the process of getting a mortgage and buying property. We learn that selling mortgages is even more complicated because of the data that is attached to them. Peter says that blockchain can simplify these systems by allowing all parties to look at the same, untampered mortgage data. He explains the status of Kuvera today and what the future holds for Kuvera. As Peter and his team move forward, he shares some of his insights into gathering additional educational information about the industry.
– Success with Factom and starting Kuvera.
– Moving the mortgage market into the 21st century with Kuvera.
– The archaic use of a large amount of paper when getting a mortgage.
– The current process of selling a mortgage and data verification.
– The stage that Kuvera is in and transferring mortgages to the blockchain.
– Working with institutions and demonstrating value.

Ever seen cats with the most amazing eyes before ? coby, iriss and abyss have the most amazing eyes in the world.
meet the 3 most beautiful cats in the world
4:06:00 PM 0 coment�rios
Ever seen cats with the most amazing eyes before ?
coby, iriss and abyss have the most amazing eyes in the world.
Iriss and Abyss have been called the "world's most beautiful cats", and they've been charming social media users with their heterochromatic eyes for the past couple of years.
Iriss and Abyss have nearly 200,000 followers on Instagram who love nothing more than to watch the two gorgeous white cats show off their differently colored eyes. Many of their fans are convinced that the two are pure-bred Angora or Turkish Van specimens, but they are in fact cross-bred from a white domestic cat and a black and white cat, and owe their social-media fame to winning the genetic lottery. Their Russian owner says that the fact that the two felines were born with white coats and heterochromatic eyes – yellow and the other one blue – is nothing short of a natural miracle.
The 3rd one is Coby. Coby has only been on Instagram for three years, but he already has over 1.2 million followers according to odditycentral . Those are A-list celebrity numbers, but Coby isn't even human, he's a cat.
Coby has a flawless white coat and sweet looking pointy ears, but his most striking feature are his charming blue eyes. You could stare into them forever, but it's not just the color that drew the attention of most people, but the fact that his eyes are perfectly contoured, almost like he's wearing eyeliner.
Rebecca Schefkind, Coby's owner, created his Instagram page in June 2015, as a joke. It didn't take long for people to notice his beautiful blue eyes, and after his follower count reached 150,000 in just a few months and companies began offering free her free cat food for promotion, Schfkind started taking Coby's Instagram success seriously.

How to Erase Your Criminal Record
Expungement is the process to clear a criminal record, such as arrests, investigations and convictions, from public view so prospective employers, landlords, insurance companies, and others conducting background checks will not see it. Expungment is particularly desirable to clear offenses committed as a juvenile, however, law enforcement will still see the criminal record.
How to Get Records Expunged
If you meet certain eligibility requirements, you may file an expungment petition with the court. It is in your interest to consult a Palmer expungement attorney to complete the petition and represent you when the court considers the petition.
When Are You Eligible for an Expungement in Alaska?
Eligibility for expungement is not only dictated by the laws in your state, but by the type of criminal offense as well. Typically, state law outlines the amount of time that must pass before you are eligible for expungement for your specific offense. However, the severity of your offense, whether you were convicted, and your criminal history in general may push back your eligibility date. A criminal defense attorney in Palmer can serve as a knowledgeable resource to help you determine when you are eligible as well as assisting you with preparing for the process in a timely manner.
How Do You File for an Expungement in Alaska?
Oftentimes, the expungement process begins by serving, or delivering, an application or petition to the prosecutor's office. Some states require the prosecutor to sign off on the application before the court will even consider expunging an offense from your record. Other states may need you or your attorney to file an Order of Expungement with the court for review and signature by a judge. With your application or order, you likely need to include court records or other documentation regarding your original conviction for the court to review. For less serious offenses, your process may end here and your expungement may be granted. If your petition is denied, you have a criminal history, or you are dealing with a more serious offense, you may need to go to a court hearing for the judge to make a determination or the court may request you provide additional documentation.
How Long Does Expungement Take in Alaska?
The length of time it takes to have a record expunged turns not only on the laws in Alaska, but a number of other factors as well. In most jurisdictions that allow expungement, the type of record you wish to have expunged dictates the necessary period of time that must pass before you may even apply. Once you are eligible, Alaska has its own specific process and required filings to initiate the process. There may be delays in the process if Alaska requires the prosecutor to sign off on the expungement, or if your records need to be expunged from other state agencies as well such as the Department of Motor Vehicles. Applying for an expungement process tends to be a very "hurry-up-and-wait" process, so it's good to get a jump start on the process as soon as you become eligible.
Are There Any Expungement Lawyers Near Me In Palmer, AK?
Taking the next step forward to clean up your past record and work toward a brighter future should start with consulting with an experienced expungement attorney. Finding the right fit for your case may seem like a daunting task but there are a number of attorneys in your area ready to help advocate on behalf of clients just like you. The LawInfo directory can help you find verified expungement lawyers in Palmer.
How Much Does an Expungement Cost?
The total cost for an expungement can vary case by case. Depending on your state and records you wish to have expunged, the process could be as little as a few hundred dollars and go up to thousands of dollars. Most states have a specific fee that must be paid when initially applying for expungement. You may need to request court records or complete other court filings, which may come with additional fees determined by the jurisdiction. That being said, some states offer waivers to those with financial hardship to offset the costs associated with expungement. Sometimes you may need to have the records expunged from multiple state agencies, which may add more fees as well. Or you may need to pay fees to have driving or professional licenses reinstated. Another important expense to consider when applying for an expungement is attorney fees.
What Happens To Your Record After an Expungement?
Sometimes having a record expunged is referred to as "setting aside a conviction." An expungement generally erases or hides your criminal record under most circumstances. This hides the arrest or conviction from public records and generally out of view from any background searches. Once the record is expunged, you typically do not need to disclose it. This makes it easier for many when applying for a new job, school, or apartment. However, it is not completely erased, as certain government agencies entities such as law enforcement or criminal courts may be able to see previous arrests or convictions and it may exist on other platforms that had it prior to the expungement. Even an expunged record may affect sentencing in future legal proceedings or lead to immigration issues.
Top Questions to Ask When Hiring an Attorney
How many years have you been practicing law? How long have you practiced law in the local area?
How many cases similar to mine have you handled in the past?
What is the likely outcome for my case?
In legal practice, experience matters. An experienced attorney will likely have handled issues similar to yours many, many times. Therefore, after listening to your situation, the attorney should have a reasonable idea of the time line for a case like yours and the likely resolution.


THE PROBLEM OF DEFINING PROPERTY RIGHTS WHERE THEY DO NOT EXIST IS STILL OPEN.
To start with, definitions help us communicate clearly. And they both force us to be honest, and prevent others from making false arguments against us.
3) Libertarianism it is a philosophical framework authored by Murray Rothbard. This framework argues that all possible rights are reducible to articulated property rights. It contains errors. (Which I have discussed elsewhere). Those errors are significant in that they are morally, and therefore socially and economically regressive. However, the fundamental insight that human actions can be reduced to property rights remains valid, and the errors in Rothbard's incomplete ethical framework are repairable.
4) Anarchy is a) a state of disorder – an inability for humans to organize. Propertarians argue that this means little more than an absence of homogeneous property rights. b) Anarchy is a Utopian idea of an ordered society without any articulated form of order other than human instincts.
5) Property is a form of establishing order – the ability of humans to organize. It is a very simple rule that matches, with some significant variation, the human moral instinct, while allowing us to cooperate in a vast division of knowledge and labor, the result of which is lower prices and increased choices.
Since a) property can vary from the purely private to the purely common, and since b) the utility of property at any point on that spectrum is different for those with different abilities, and c) since the genetic bias of men and women has shown us a demonstrated preference for different points on that spectrum, which better suit the reproductive strategies of each gender, therefore, the preferred monopoly of property rights varies by class and gender, as well as, perhaps, race whenever a population is heterogeneous.
6) Anarchism is a philosophical research program the purpose of which is to find institutional solutions (organizations, processes and rules) that are an alternative to a monopoly power that we grant to the state, when we create a government in order to institute some set of property rights, and therefore establish order.
Since our invention of politics, we cannot seem to limit the republican or democratic state to the functions that preserve our aristocratic egalitarian order: a) the defense of those property rights, and b) the concentration of capital for shared investment at the same time. And by doing so, force people to cooperate in the market, instead of by violence, or the proxy of physical violence we call politics. So, because of that failure of democratic institutions, the anarchic research program seeks to use competition for services to eliminate the corporeal state's monopoly on power, while maintaining a monopoly on the articulated enumeration of some set of property rights within a geography.
The a) libertarian sentiment, b) Libertarian history (the classical liberal model) and c) the libertarian philosophy (all of which are different things) do not answer this problem. The anarchic research program has attempted to. And any attempt by libertarians to state that we have solved this problem is either a failure to understand the state of our intellectual development, or an intentional misrepresentation of it.
But in no case do Anarchists or Libertarians suggest there is no 'governance'. A set of articulated property rights and a judiciary that resolves conflicts over property, is a government. It is just a reactive government. A government or rules. Judges under the common law cannot make law. They can discover it. And they can be overruled by other judges through market competition. But they cannot proactively make law. As such, there is a government under all libertarian models that have been articulated to any degree.
The problem remains only in how we first establish a set of property rights. In the west this is not as difficult as elsewhere because those property rights are native to the framework of thought that we inherited with our Aristocratic Egalitarianism. Anyone who is enfranchised (fights) has a right to property which is not abridge-able by his peers. We extended the requirement to fighting, first to those who demonstrated nobility through service of any kind (chivalry). And third to those who demonstrated nobility through exchange and trade. But the principle of property is fundamental regardless of which means one earns his enfranchisement.
When anarchists say that they advocate anarchy, it means that they eschew the concentration of power to alter the set of property rights involuntarily, since it breaks with the Aristocratic Egalitarian ethics. Ethics which allow each of us who is enfranchised to experiement and add value to ourselves and society as long as we commit no involuntary transfer from others who are enfranchised.
What anarchists and libertarians of all stripes have failed to do is describe how we create a monopoly definition of property rights without the application of force to do it. In the west, the aristocracy created it out of habitual necessity. And they did it by force. Rome in particular was a powerful machine that mandated a set of property rights and then defended them because it was simply profitable to do so.
Critics are wrong in the sense that libertarianism will not work in somalia. But they are right in that libertarians and anarchists have not provided a means by which to institute a monopoly of property rights without it first existing.
As I've stated above, we are less than a century into our research program at articulating our ancient system of cooperation that we call the libertarian sentiment, but which is more accurately termed the political system called Aristocratic Egalitarianism with its dependency on property rights.
While I have filled the hole in our ethics. The hole in our institutional process of implementing a monopoly of individual property rights by other than organized violence is still in need of filling.
And we should ask our critics to help us answer that problem, rather than deny we have it.

Elena B. Stavrevska is a peace scholar, currently working at the Centre for Women, Peace, and Security at the London School of Economics and Political Science. She has always been passionate about education and gender equity. Part of it relates to her mother's experience who faced challenges to pursue an education at a time when girls, particularly in the rural areas, were not even expected to go to school, but she persisted and became the first female from her village to attend and complete university. Knowing how profoundly education has affected her mother's and her own life and worldviews, after the completion of her doctoral studies at the Central European University, Elena has chosen a career in academia, combining teaching and research.
Building on her different experiences and engagements, Elena is keenly aware of the paramount role that mentorship and support networks and systems play in the empowerment of girls and women. This is precisely why she jumped at the opportunity to become part of the founding team of Stella, which she is hoping to develop into a valuable platform that brings people together and a driver of important national discussions on gender equity, education, and economic empowerment.

I don't want to write another article explaining the importance of visual content in your content marketing. And Joe Pulizzi already included the topic in his article about the biggest content marketing trends in 2017 so we don't need to outline it anymore.
But a lot of marketers still don't understand visual content.
What type of content will 65% of the population be more likely to recall? Visual.
You can't speak proficiently about visuals for your content marketing if you don't talk with the people who create them – the designers. Call them however you want: UX/UI designer, web designer, graphic designer, creative director, visual content creator, or art director. They are the ones who consume visual content, create visual content, and think about visual content every day.
And that's why in this article, I go to these visual experts to share the five lessons content marketers need to know about visual content.
"When marketers feel that every little bit of info needs to be included on a piece that's when things get very muddy and messy," says Joseph Kalinowski, creative director at Content Marketing Institute.
If you think creating a lot of content will bring you the results you want, well my friend, let me tell you that you are wrong. Creating a lot of content, articles, videos, and social media posts won't get you more clicks, leads, or whatever else you want to get.
Less is always more. Non-designers seem to always want to add elements, more fonts, more colors, more stuff to designs to make it 'pop' or stand out. When design, professional design, works best when it's focused and to the point.
Yes, your content needs space and time to breathe. Your content needs to let your audience consume it, think about it, and interact with it.
Takeaway: Don't go overboard with text – design to give your content the space and time to be consumed easily by your audience.
What's the right mix between text- and visual-based content?
A 2014 Blog Pros study shows that the 100 most popular blogs on average use one image every 350 words. That means if you write a 2,000-word article you should use at least six visuals, including the featured image.
Many marketers in general have a good sense of design, but there are many times when they overlook some of the basic design principles that should be adhered to when trying to create visual content.
Only half of B2B marketers say creating visual content is a priority. What about the other half? Aren't they interested in visual content?
Adding imagery every few paragraphs makes the content feel more engaging. Images can be created in a few different ways. Create your own imagery, using photography, software such as Photoshop, or online tools such as Bannersnack. This route is more time consuming, but means that you can create exactly what you need, and have a consistent style throughout your content.
Takeaway: Visual content creation should be as important as text or audio content creation.
I believe I lost a few great articles and stories because of the color of the website. I couldn't understand why the designer (or developer) behind that website used that ugly combination with red and orange, or green and yellow.
"Think back to the days of your high school art class when you had to make the color wheel. Contrasting and complementary colors, primary, secondary and tertiary colors, the list goes on. You don't have to get crazy … Just remember that unless it's the holiday, try to steer away from placing green type on a red background (LOL).
Though the psychology of color is one of the most controversial aspects in branding, you still need to understand its importance.
Takeaway: Every time you launch a content marketing project, make sure your use of color stays true to your brand.
What is the difference between a Sans Serif font and Comic Sans or Curlz? If you're a designer, I bet you have a few ideas. If you're a marketer, you may ignore that question but you shouldn't.
(T)ypography plays a huge role in communicating a message visually. Every typeface has subtle nuances that will make or break your visual communication. So learning about the basics of typography will help set you up for visual marketing success.
You don't have to be a professional in web design and understand the role of every type font, size, and color, but you need to know the basics. Jacob recommends a great book for you: The Non-Designer's Type Book.
Think of a newspaper's front page, big headline, medium-sized subhead, small body copy with a nice accompanying photo that works well with all of the fonts and sizes. Now, imagine how hard that newspaper page would be to read if everything was the same size, font, font weight. Adjusting size and weight of items in your visual content is a must.
Takeaway: Educate yourself on the basics of typography to ensure that readers won't find your content hard to read.
When your website is loading so slowly that you can watch one season of House of Cards (OK, I'm exaggerating a little bit, but you got the point), you have big problems.
As Google says, the best brand is the one who is there, useful, and quick.
More people are consuming content using mobile, so being optimized for mobile is very important. And the best way to check out how ready is your website for mobile is by checking it with Google's tool.
Takeaway: Make sure your visuals are optimized for the online environment.
Apart from art, design is a suite of rules and laws, such as typography, composition and color. When doing design, you don't steal, but borrow the best decision. Always seek for trends and reference in order to create a working, eye-catching, wow-effect visual.
Know less is more – give visitors space and time to pace their viewing.
Strike a balance – see visual content creation as important as text or audio creation.
See the color – stay true to your brand.
Think about typography – give visitors an easy-to-read experience.
Don't let page-load time deter visitors – optimize your visuals.
Now, get back to your content creation and see what you need to adjust to do a better job. But before you go, which one of these lessons do you think is a general problem for the content marketing industry? Let me know in comments.

What is the purpose of an ignition wire set?
The basic principle of the electrical spark ignition system has not changed for over 75 years. What has changed is the method used to create the spark. The automobile has evolved from a mechanical system (distributor) to a solid state electronic system. Both systems control a low voltage primary circuit through an ignition coil which will induce a high voltage in the secondary circuit. This is then directed to the right spark plug, at the right time.
to control the timing so that the spark occurs at the right time and in the right cylinder.
Ignition wires channel high tension energy from the coil to the spark plugs in order to produce the spark necessary for ignition without disturbing the environment with high frequency electrical interference.
Sentech® technology is the result of advanced laboratory research. Each detail represents an innovation. All stages of the manufacturing process: cable, terminals, boots are controlled and tested.
The braiding forms a sort of net that "traps" the dielectric insulator and stops the diameter from getting smaller. In this way any increase in cable length is impossible and the lead keeps all its flexibility.
The electrical insulation is achieved by a layer of plastic, thermoplastic elastomer or synthetic elastomer which, due to its characteristics ensures the low linear capacity of the cable which in turn minimises the voltage drop between the coil and the plugs.
The braiding is made of polyester or glass fiber, which makes it resistant to mechanical stress. This ensures the correct crimping resistance of the terminals.
The diameter of the outside sheath and the dielectric insulator would get thinner (like stretching elastic), which would make it easier for the terminal to get pulled off.
Their shapes are designed according to the application (plug nut, male, female, threaded connection), to their dimensions and adapted for automatic assembly and automatic fitting of clips during the terminal manufacturing process itself. They insure the mechanical and electrical link with the female terminals, the plug nuts, the threaded posts of the distributors, coil and plugs.
The crimping on the cable and the strip and fold or staple technologies developed by Sentech® provide the electrical link with the wound conductor of the cable and contributes to a good electrical conductivity of the ignition lead in whichever engine and ambient condition.
The main purpose of the boots is providing protection and dielectric insulation for the high voltage electrical connections.Therefore the materials are carefully selected and their shape and designs are adapted for each application to ensure a tight grip on the cable and on the connecting elements (spark plug porcelain and distributor or coil).
Sentech® created the wire wound cable technology in 1957. A very small diameter resistive wire is wound around a ferro-magnetic core which absorbs electromagnetic interference and conducts the high voltage current without loss of energy. It protects the low-voltage network from interference due to the high-voltage ignition current.With Sentech® technology the highest degree of E.M.R. attenuation is achieved. Radiation is absorbed all along the cable, thus eliminating interference on radio, TV, mobile phone and on the electronic equipment in the car.
Note: the level of reference represents a level of "electromagnetic noise" following an international standard.
A copper wire (whose resistance is virtually zero) is associated with a resistor placed as close to the spark plug as possible (in the terminal).
Thanks to this resistor, a part of the wave is reflected in the opposite direction (like an echo) and then sent to the vehicle's ground. Another part is radiated into the surrounding environment and the rest is transmitted into the cable. So, because the wave that is transmitted is weaker, it causes less interference to environment.
Even so, this resistive effect plays a negative role in sparking, as all the energy transmitted by the distributor does not get to the plugs.
This technology is to be found mainly amongst English and American car manufacturers. It uses carbon whose resistance is spread throughout the length of the cable. The carbon core cable has a very short life and cannot guarantee that resistance values are the same for the different leads in the set: in fact, resistance can vary in ratio from 1 to 10. Due to its short life span, this type of ignition wire set needs to be changed frequently.
These two solutions are relatively efficient for low frequencies (several MHz). However they are inadequate for high frequencies as their resistance is the same no matter the frequency.
A stainless steel wire is wound in a spiral around a ferromagnetic core gives unique construction. When a current crosses the wire a magnetic field is created inside.
The inductive effect Electromagnetic interference waves are guided by the ferrite cores and then absorbed.
Resistive effect The spirally wound wire acts as a resistance for up to 5600 Ohms/ m. Therefore, the resistive effect that is effective on low frequencies is improved by the inductive effect. This type of technology is ideal for high frequencies.
Spirally wound ferrite core technology combines the advantages of the two other types of technology.


I am so excited to begin sharing our big PCS (permanent change of station) move from Hawaii to Virginia. Spoiler Alert: We flew from Honolulu into Los Angeles, and drove for two weeks (over 4,000 miles) in an adventure of a lifetime on a cross country trip back to the east coast. I have too many wonderful pictures, beautiful locations, and other experiences to share and talk about just for one post, so I will be breaking up this move/adventure into several different posts in chronological order of our trip. So buckle up and get ready to hear about our exciting, but sometimes stressful, PCS adventure!
At 2 1/2 years into my husband's tour at 2nd Battalion 3rd Marines, he had been selected for promotion to Captain and we knew that our family was going to be up for orders to leave Hawaii soon. We began to talk about "B-Billet" jobs and the possible geographical areas that we could be sent to. A "B-Billet" for Officers is the 3 year tour that follows their 3 year tour in an actively deploying unit like an Infantry Battalion. The entire process of not knowing where we would be sent next was definitely an emotional roller coaster. Officers have a career counselor called "the monitor," (from what I've gathered, he's essentially the Wizard of Oz that sits behind a curtain and decides the fate of your Marine's career and where your family will have to move next). I was new to this whole military wife life and was super uncomfortable with the constantly changing word that seemed to be coming on just about a daily basis about when and where we would probably find ourselves getting stationed for the next 3 years! BUT as an experienced military wife knows (and I now know), you can never plan on anything with the military! Too many things are out of your control and EVERYTHING is ALWAYS subject to change. After we had many discussions and late nights spent weighing pros and cons of different jobs and places, my husband asked the monitor to be given an assignment in the geographical area of Virginia. We chose Virginia because it is where we are both from, and knew it was a great place to grow our own family in the near future. The monitor called my husband and told him that he had a platoon commander opening with the Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team in Virginia! We were ecstatic! Our official orders had our family getting sent to Yorktown, which was not only close to both of our hometowns and families, but a great location.
Seasoned spouses know that you will need to coordinate the dates for your household good shipment through Move.Mil at least a few months ahead of your husband's expected check-out date. Plan to have the movers come around 2 weeks before you are even actually leaving to take all your household goods and ship them out to your new duty location. This will give you adequate time to clean and prepare your home for the housing check-out process, as well as get a head start on getting your things to your new home at your new duty station. If you are new to it all like I was, then you can feel overwhelmed and frustrated at times because you have no idea what you're doing, but that is ok and totally normal! I learned A LOT from this first PCS move and from some wonderful friends who had already done these moves many times before. They gave me advice, fed us meals, helped us out with watching our son while deep cleaning of the house & let us borrow items when we had nothing. I am not sure what we would of done without these special people.
Separate the items you do not want the movers to pack (suitcases, pack-n-play, blankets, personal items, etc.) and put them all in a designated closet or laundry room with a sign on door so the movers know not to touch any of those items.
(Only relatable tip if doing an overseas or moving to/from Hawaii) My neighbor gave me the advice to pack all your spices in a ziplock bag, put them in tupperware, and pack them away before movers come. Otherwise, they will make you throw them out. And if you are like me and had already invested in a bunch of spices for cooking, then you take her advice so you don't have to buy all new ones!
Wash sheets & bedding and either leave them folded on the bed for movers to pack or just pack them away yourself.
Pre-pack any fragile or sentimental/special items if you're worried that the movers will not do it well enough. They can be rough with your things so it is important to supervise!
Meal prep prior to the move! This is something I didn't even think to do at the time (but wish I had). There are so many great ideas on pinterest and instagram of simple, healthy meals you can pre-make & freeze to eat once all your kitchen supplies are packed away (and trust me you will get sick of eating out if you aren't use to it).
You can get loaner furniture delivered through the military housing office, but let me tell ya we thought it was awful! The kitchen table/chairs were useful to have for meals, but the bed was hard and there is an old plastic sheet covering it that you have to sleep on.
With said tip above, borrow or invest in a quality air mattress and pillows, you'll thank me later.
Your family rates 5 days of TLA (temporary lodging allowance) between the time of your checkout from base housing and your family's flight or husband's unit checkout date, make sure you use it!
When using TLA, Government lodging on base must be attempted first, if Government Lodging is not available for the dates your family needs, then you need to obtain a letter of non-availability from the BOQ manager stating that on-base lodging was not available in order to book a hotel off base at full cost to the Government.
Your husband will need his official orders from his unit's admin section in order to book your flight/travel allowances through the IPAC on your base. This should be done a month prior to your departure.
Your family will rate the shipment of 1 vehicle from Hawaii to your new duty station, we coordinated this shipment through the base's Distribution Management Office (DMO). A pretty easy and straight forward process, but since we own 2 vehicles we had to pay out of pocket to have our second car shipped by an outside company to California.
On the day the movers come, be sure to have your children over at friend's house. Too many heavy items getting moved about and nobody wants them to be in the way and get hurt! My husband stayed at the house supervising the movers working, and I got to spend most of the day at our awesome neighbor's house with our son while he played with their kids!
Lastly, take a goodbye picture of that house that you made a home for however long or short you were there. You will enjoy being able to look back on that house & reminisce on all the wonderful memories your family made there.
After we got all checked out of our house, we used the first 2 days of our 5 day TLA to stay at the BOQ on base (You may remember hearing about the historic Five Palms BOQ previously on my Hawai'i base housing post). Also a little side-note, our two days at the BOQ occurred on New Years Eve/Day, so this is where we had our little celebration bringing in the new year. Nothing like a new year, fresh start eh?
We obtained a letter of non-availability for the BOQ to cover our last 3 days on island, we chose to stay at the Hale Koa Military Resort in Waikiki. There are a few reasons why we stayed here: 1. It was a close taxi ride to the Honolulu airport & both of our vehicles were shipped at this point 2. It is a military resort with affordable restaurants and amenities compared to most resorts in Waikiki 3. It was the start of our vacay & what better way to relax and spend our last few days than at a beautiful resort in Hawaii! When you first walk into the Hale Koa, you are greeted with an outdoor lobby area that is accompanied with a nice Hawaiian breeze & plenty of seating. Our hotel room had a balcony and ocean view, which was breathtakingly beautiful! The rooms are small, but still nice (rooms you would expect at a 3 star hotel). Although we barely spent much time inside the room because we were always outside relaxing at the pool, laying out on the beach, or grabbing a meal at a nearby restaurant.

Q: Scaling really large bar compared to other bars in ggplot2 in R I am trying to make a plot in ggplot2 in R with the following code:
    feature
[1] abs_deg_sum_1       NumAfterEdits_1     N_1                 NumAfterEdits_3
[5] TimeSinceLastEdit_2 wt_product_1        NumAfterEdits_2     dwdt_1
52 Levels: abs_deg_diff_1 abs_deg_diff_2 abs_deg_diff_3 abs_deg_diff_4 ... Z_4

relative_importance
[1] 61.048212 17.235435  1.891542  1.409848  1.356924  1.264824  1.220593  1.184612

library(ggplot2)
df = data.frame(feature, relative_importance)
c <- ggplot(df, aes(x = feature, y = relative_importance, fill = feature)) + geom_bar(stat = "identity")
c + coord_flip()

positions <- c("abs_deg_sum_1", "NumAfterEdits_1", "N_1", "NumAfterEdits_3","TimeSinceLastEdit_2", "wt_product_1", "NumAfterEdits_2",
               "dwdt_1")
c <- c + scale_x_discrete(limits = positions)
c + coord_flip()

Since the first value in relative_importance is really large compared to all other values, the plot doesn't show much about the other values. I get the following plot:

How can I change my code to capture more information in my plot? Especially about the smaller values

A: Here are several options, though I prefer the first or second (or maybe the third if you really want to go with a bar plot):
# Fake data
dat = data.frame(group=LETTERS[1:5], values=c(1.5,0.6,12.6,2.1,85))

# Value labels instead of bars, plus we add a horizontal segment to provide
#  better visual guidance as to the relative values. This also requires
#  some factor gymnastics to be able to get both the segments and the
#  correct x-axis labels. I've left in the legend, but it's not necessary
#  and can be removed if you wish.
ggplot(dat, aes(as.numeric(group), values, colour=group)) +
  geom_segment(aes(x=as.numeric(group)-0.35, xend=as.numeric(group)+0.35,
                   yend=values), alpha=0.75) +
  geom_text(aes(label=values), fontface="bold", show_guide=FALSE) +
  scale_x_continuous(breaks=1:5, labels=levels(dat$group))
  #scale_y_log10(limits=c(0.1,100), breaks=c(0.1, 0.3,1,3,10,30,100)) # For a log scale, if desired
  #coord_flip()  # Flip to horizontal orientation, if desired

# Value labels instead of bars
ggplot(dat, aes(group, values, colour=group)) +
  geom_text(aes(label=values), fontface="bold")

# Bar plot with value labels added
ggplot(dat, aes(group, values, fill=group)) +
  geom_bar(stat="identity") +
  geom_text(aes(label=values, y=0.5*values), size=5, colour="black")

# Value labels instead of bars; log scale
ggplot(dat, aes(group, values, colour=group)) +
  geom_text(aes(label=values)) +
  scale_y_log10(limits=c(0.1,100), breaks=c(0.1,0.3,1,3,10,30,100)) +
  coord_flip()

# Bar plot with log scale. Note that bar baseline is 1 instead of
#  zero for a log scale, so this doesn't work so well.
ggplot(dat, aes(group, values, fill=group)) +
  geom_bar(stat="identity") +
  scale_y_log10(limits=c(0.1,100), breaks=c(0.1,0.3,1,3,10,30,100)) +
  coord_flip()

# Points instead of bars; log scale
ggplot(dat, aes(group, values, fill=group)) +
  geom_point(pch=21, size=4) +
  scale_y_log10(limits=c(0.1,100), breaks=c(0.1,0.3,1,3,10,30,100)) +
  coord_flip()

A: If the logarithmic axis doesn't work for you and if you have some flexibility in the plot format, you could divide the features into two groups based on the value of relative_importance and show each in it's own panel with appropriate y-scales.  Code including adjustment of bar widths would look like:
    library(ggplot2)
# assign rows to Large or Small group
  cut_off_for_small_values <- 3
  small_value_title <- "Expanded_Scale_for_Smaller_Values"
  df  <-  data.frame(feature, relative_importance,
                     importance_grp = ifelse(relative_importance > cut_off_for_small_values,
                                             "All", small_value_title))
  # calculate relative bar widths
  width_adj <- .8*nrow(df[df$importance_grp==small_value_title,])/nrow(df)
# plot data
  c <- ggplot(df, aes(x = feature, y = relative_importance, fill = feature))
  c <- c + geom_bar(data=transform(df, importance_grp="All"),
                    stat = "identity")
  c <- c + geom_bar(data=df[df$importance_grp==small_value_title,],
                      stat = "identity", width=width_adj)
   c <- c + geom_text(aes(x = feature, y = relative_importance,
                          label = format(relative_importance, digits=3), vjust=-.5))
   c <- c + theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle=90))
  c <- c + facet_wrap(  ~ importance_grp,  scales="free" )

which gives plot

Q: Race conditions in REST API's I'm currently struggling to wrap my head around some concurrency concepts in general. Suppose we have a REST api with several endpoints for updating and creating entities in our database. Lets assume that we receive 100 concurrent requests at the same time for a certain update. How do we guarantee that our data consistency is retained? If working with Java, I guess some options would be:

*

*Using lock mechanisms

*Using synchronization on methods in our service layer

However surely this would make a huge impact on the scalability of our application? But I can't see any other way currently of ensuring that we don't encounter any race conditions when interacting with our database. (Also I dont think there is much point to adding synchronization to every method we write in our service?)
So, I guess the question is: how can we reliably secure our application from race conditions with concurrent requests, while at the same time retaining scalability?
I realize this is a very open-ended and conceptual question, but please if you can point me in the right direction of what area / topic I should dive into for learning, I would be grateful.
Thanks!

A: You got a good understanding of the problem.
You have to decide between eventual consistency and strong consistency. Strong consistency will limit scaling to a certain extent but you also really need to sit down and be realistic/honest about your scaling needs(or your consistency needs).
It's also possible to limit consistency for example rows in a database could be consistent or you can be consistent geographically within a region or a continent. Different queries can also have different requirements.
Creating efficient and strongly consistent databases is a whole field of research and all the big tech giants have people working on that, there are too many solutions/technologies to list. Just googling something like "strong consistency scaling" will get you a ton of results you can read.


That fun reaction is understandable. Industrial hemp is, after all, indistinguishable from marijuana. In fact, industrial hemp and marijuana are the same species of plant, Cannabis sativa.
The difference is that industrial hemp is required to have less than 0.3 percent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The other crop that might legally be grown, medical marijuana, has more than 0.3 percent THC. THC is the psychoactive substance that makes marijuana one of the world's most popular recreational drugs and a potentially widely used medical drug.
Those thinking about growing industrial hemp in Florida have an ally in the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS). A UF/IFAS pilot project is attempting to develop a viable hemp industry in Florida. Some consider industrial hemp a possible alternative crop for much of the former citrus land that has been devastated by citrus greening disease since 2005.
UF/IFAS researcher and Industrial Hemp Pilot Program coordinator Zachary Brym said the program hopes to "support the future availability and sustainability of an industrial hemp industry." Brym works at the UF/IFAS Tropical Research and Education Center in Homestead.
Industrial hemp is also the primary ingredient in hempcrete, a biocomposite material used for construction and insulation.
Brym said industrial hemp can even play a role in environmental remediation. Michael Bowman of the National Hemp Association said industrial hemp could help clean up some Florida waterways and soil.
Brym said the Industrial Hemp Pilot Program held a series of workshops throughout Florida in 2018 to gauge interest in the crop. "We had almost 300 folks show up — just a great amount of enthusiasm," he said. The workshops were held in Citra, Homestead and Quincy.
"There are many ways for growers to get involved" in the pilot program, Brym said. For one, they can get on the program's contact list and participate in activities such as workshops and field days.
In addition, growers can participate in a project partnership by being a volunteer consultant or worker. Growers are also needed to be financial sponsors of the pilot program.
Bowman predicted the UF/IFAS pilot program "will go a long way" toward helping get an industrial hemp industry started in Florida. "Nothing beats having a project in your backyard that somebody can go see and touch and feel," Bowman said.
Objectives for the Industrial Hemp Pilot Program include identifying hemp varieties ideal for Florida, hemp management practices and cropping systems, and looking into environmental impacts of hemp, according to Brym. Thirty-one certified varieties have been identified, primarily grain and fiber varieties.
Project activities include research into germination, flowering, height, biomass, yield and disease in industrial hemp. Research, which will include spacing and fertilizer trials, will be conducted in three field sites of 7 to 10 acres each. The research plots will be at UF/IFAS facilities in South Florida, Central Florida and North Florida.
If you've been one of those who got laughed at after saying you were thinking about growing industrial hemp, just remember the old saying, "He who laughs last, laughs best." While it is unknown at this time if you'll get the best laugh in the end, UF/IFAS aims to find out by carefully examining industrial hemp production.

Cops: New 'friends' rob would-be pot smoker
by Bill Smith July 19, 2017 January 7, 2022
Two 17-year-olds — one from Evanston, the other from Chicago — have been charged with aggravated robbery after an incident Tuesday afternoon in downtown Evanston.
Police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan says that a 24-year-old Chicago man told officers he was riding a northbound CTA train and got into a conversation with two male teenagers and agreed to go smoke cannabis with them when they got off the train at the Davis Street station about 4:20 p.m.
Dugan says when the three got to an alley in the 900 block of Davis, one of the teens pulled out a handgun and threatened to shoot the victim. They then took nearly $50 in cash, a Ventra card, a cell phone and a pack of cigarettes from him and slapped him in the face before fleeing.
Detectives responding to the scene located two suspects in the 1600 block of Sherman Avenue who matched the description of the offenders and were positively identified by the victim, Dugan says.
He adds that police also recovered the victim's property and a BB gun from the youths, who've been transported to the Cook County Juvenile Detention Center.
