Photo Essay: An insider review of Eagle football
Cameron Cox
The frigid night of Friday, October 18 set the scene for a disheartening loss against the Gunn High School Titans for the varsity football team. After two and a half hours of unwavering effort, the game ended with a final score of 32-56.
Gunn's offense throughout the game was efficient at creating large yardage plays, which means they were able to score quickly through running plays. The Eagles' loss was mainly due to their inability to counteract the Titans' quick scoring offense.
The Eagles started off the first quarter rolling downfield with an eight-play drive, or an offensive attempt, only to be halted by Gunn's defense on the fourth down. The Titans scored soon after with a four-play drive ending in an explosive 45-yard dash to the endzone. The Titans were successful in getting the two-point conversion, putting the score at 0-8.
Los Altos was quick to strike back with a three-play drive, with running back junior Aaron Parker shooting past Gunn's defense for a 45-yard touchdown run.
The Eagles set themselves up for an offensive drive. On the next conversion in the second quarter, the Titans ran yet another touchdown past the Eagles, settling the score at 8-15.
Quarterback junior Charlie Kinne ran the ball 30 yards into the endzone, but Gunn quickly retaliated with another touchdown.
With the Titans leading at 14-22, Defensive Coordinator Coach Vince Juarez looks tense as he schemes with the team to devise a strategy for a comeback.
Los Altos warmed up their tense muscles in the icy air, preparing themselves for the battle to catch up to Gunn's lead.
The third quarter opens with powerful kickoff. Gunn received and followed with a six-play drive that ended in a touchdown, progressing the score to 14-28.
"Both offenses put on a show during the game. Our defense just couldn't get off the field, and our offense had to wait a long time. We just needed to minimize the large yardage plays." — wide receiver sophomore Mingaang Park
Charlie speeds away from a Titan defender in his pursuit to find an open player.
Later in the quarter, Aaron Parker ran the ball 20 yards the endzone, giving the Eagles a chance for redemption with a score of 20-28.
Charlie completes an onside kick, which is a deliberate effort to kick short, in an attempt to convert the possession back to the Eagles.
The ball was successfully snatched on Gunn's 48-yard line by running back junior Bradley Saavedra for an Eagles recovery. Los Altos was later halted after five plays with an unsuccessful fourth-down conversion.
"Everyone's effort this year is a lot stronger and our chemistry as a team has grown more than anything. This allows us to communicate better and take down important plays." — wide receiver junior Noah Sucharzuk
Following an incredible 45-yard touchdown run past Eagle defense, Los Altos received Gunn's kick at their two-yard line. The Eagles were forced to punt on the fourth down at only the six-yard line. The Titans then shockingly scored in one play, managing to break past the Eagles in an intense 47-yard run.
Senior guard Hayden Clish is helped off the field after temporarily injuring his knee in a defensive play.
The game swung back into action with an astonishing one-play 65-yard touchdown by Aaron. The Eagles attempted to run a fake play for their extra point, that resulted without success. The third quarter concluded with a final score of 26-42.
To start the fourth quarter, Los Altos kicked off and attempted another onside kick, but fell short on the recovery. Gunn started off at the Eagles 50-yard line and in a nine-play drive, scored via a four-yard touchdown run with a one-point conversion.
Gunn takes possession on the Eagles 38-yard line. They managed to sneak past Eagle defense and complete a 35-yard pass, setting up a 3-yard touchdown run. With a successful kick, the score hovered at 20-56.
Gunn had a short kick following the change of possession, with the Eagles picking it up on the 30-yard line, running the ball ten meters down the field. Los Altos grinded out a lengthy 16-play drive, and finally cleaned up with a five-yard touchdown pass by Charlie to wide receiver junior Cedrick Smith. The final score of the game was 32-56.
"It takes a couple of years to get fundamentals and techniques and proper training to really turn a program around. Hopefully, we'll be able to continue our mission, and get these guys to where they need to be and where they want to be." — offensive and defensive line coach Steve Rochlin

Is it me, or does everybody love fireworks? Well animals don�t. They�re really not wild about them.
Keeping your pets inside when all hell is breaking loose outside helps a little but pets are still not over-the-moon because of the noise. The RSPCA don�t want to turn your Bonfire night into a damp squib by suggesting you don�t buy any fireworks; they just want people to consider the animals and think seriously about buying quieter ones.

Home National Court orders release of Orji Uzor Kalu from prison, protesters storm NASS
Court orders release of Orji Uzor Kalu from prison, protesters storm NASS
The Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday ordered the release of a former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, from prison.
Kalu was jailed for 12 years on December 5, 2019, after he was convicted of N7.1bn fraud alongside his firm, Slok Nigeria Limited, and a former Director of Finance at the Abia State Government House, Jones Udeogu.
However, the Supreme Court, in a May 8, 2020 judgment, nullified the trial and conviction of Kalu and others on the grounds that the judge who handled the case lacked jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court's judgment followed an appeal by Udeogu, contending that the trial judge, Justice Mohammed Idris, concluded the 12-year-old trial and gave judgment after he had been elevated to the Court of Appeal and ceased to be a judge of the Federal High Court.
On Tuesday, Kalu's counsel, Chief Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), urged Justice Mohammed Liman to the release of the ex-governor from prison custody, based on the pronouncement of the Supreme Court in Udeogu's appeal.
"Our application is brought pursuant to Section 159 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.
"This is a fallout of the Supreme Court decision delivered on the 8th of May," Fagbemi said.
In response, the prosecuting counsel for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), the anti-graft agency would not, in principle, oppose Fagbemi's application for Kalu's release from prison.
"But we are also urging the court that the order made by the Supreme Court for trial de novo should be complied with by all parties; so that Your Lordship will give us a date when arraignment will be done.
"We want the trial to go on; losing more time will be dangerous for us," Jacobs added
Meanwhile, protesters, under the aegis of Concerned Citizens of Abia North, Abia State Tuesday stormed the National Assembly, calling on the President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan, to as a matter of urgency, declare vacant, the seat of the Senate Majority Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, All Progressives Congress, APC, Abia North.
According to the group, declaring the seat vacant would enable the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to conduct a fresh election to elect a Senator who will represent Abia North Senatorial District in the Senate.

LCDA plant takes fire from locals
Richmond Hill Rotary Club hosts proponents, opponents of Liberty wastewater facility
The Liberty County Development Authority's proposed wastewater treatment center took center stage at Thursday's Richmond Hill Rotary Club meeting. It held it for approximately two hours.
"We know this is a subject that is near and dear to a lot of hearts – the place we live and how much we love it and want to protect it," Rotarian Jack Hyde said. "We also know we have an extraordinary desire for folks to come in for development, and we have to balance growth and protecting our environment."
Included in a panel addressing the issue were LCDA CEO Ron Tolley and project engineer Wayne Murphy from CH2MHill. On the other side of the table were Coastal Estuary Protection Association President Allen Davis and environmentalist Roy Hubbard.
Tolley and Murphy said they have done the proper research and followed every legal process required for the project, and the proposed treatment center will not have an affect on the marshlands of Liberty or Bryan County.
Hubbard said it will take more than the legal steps to protect the ecosystem along Laurel View River.
The project proposal includes the discharging of fresh water along the coast of both counties and Hubbard said that could destroy marshlands and sea life in its path.
He also said he is concerned over a precedent being set which could lead to the destruction of marshlands in other parts of the state.
"You want to kill an oyster? Put it in fresh water – the cleaner, the quicker," Hubbard said. "You got a $30 million dollar project, but you have not spent the time to go out there and find out what's in that water and what it's really going to affect. You know nothing about the ecology of the Laurel View River or that basin."
Murphy showed graphs saying the discharge of three million gallons per day, which is the highest possible amount of water the facility is proposing to disperse, would not affect the ecology.
He also corrected something he told the Bryan County commission earlier in the week, saying the impact would be "one part per billion, not trillion … It would account for only .0002 of the total river flow. How could that possibly have an effect?"
Murphy said the potential fresh water flow would not affect salinity, giving the example of millions of gallons of fresh rain water not changing the saltiness of the marsh waters.
Hubbard countered that the fresh water emitted from the facility would contain chemicals that rain water does not.
Davis questioned the financial feasibility for the $30 million the LCDA has proposed to spend on this project.
He said 10,000 homes would have to be developed in order to service the debt. He also noted that there are no plans on the table for residential development in the immediate area of the proposed facility.
Murphy said the LCDA is confident that "growth will come", based on numerous trends and projections.
Davis said he wants an independent party to review the ecological feasibility of this project.
He said it should not be built solely upon the scientific studies of CH2MHill because they look to gain from the creation of the facility.
The meeting got a bit heated, but when it was all said and done both sides agreed it was a productive meeting.
"We appreciated the invitation and the opportunity to come up when it became obvious that strong feelings were out there in the community about this project," Tolley said. "The reason we came was for those people that have concerns because of what they've heard to date but have not had presented to them what we've had the advantage of, which is three years worth of discussion and analysis to get down to the best environmentally possible plant and process with the least impact. Hopefully there are those that heard the presentation and appreciated the analysis."
The next step is the EPD public hearing Jan. 27 at the Midway Civic Center, where the public will have the opportunity to state their opinions on the pending permit for the facility.
All of the Rotary panel members are slated to attend.
Hubbard said it is likely that the EPD will issue the permit and "the only way to stop them from issuing this permit is for the governor to order them not to issue it. It will be a political decision, one way or the other."

Alternative People's Economic Summit held outdoors
by Kobakila News June 7, 2009
written by Kobakila News June 7, 2009
NEW YORK (June 7) — An alternative Summit, in lieu of the United Nations Conference on the World Economic and Financial Crisis and its Impact on Development which was postponed from June 1-3 to June 24-26, was organized by a grassroots network known as the Bail-out the People Movement (BOPM).
Held outdoor in front of the United Nations Headquarters, the event was called People's Economic Summit. Its purpose was to invite voices of concerned public to engage in an official discourse on the global economic crisis and its impact on people's struggles.
Members of Filipino organizations Anakbayan New York/New Jersey and the NY Committee for Human Rights in the Philippines led break-out groups before the plenary session started in the afternoon. Members of Anakbayan from Jersey City facilitated youth issues while members of NYCHRP facilitated concerns on immigration and struggles against corporate power around the world
During the larger plenary session in the afternoon, two Filipino panel speakers– Dulphing Ogan of Kalumaran, an indigenous peoples alliance in Mindanao, and Berna Ellorin, Chairperson of BAYAN USA– gave presentations analyzing the root causes of the global economic crisis, its impact on the Philippines, and the implications of the postponement of the UN Conference convened by UN General Assembly President Miguel D'Escoto of Nicaragua.
Ellorin presented a statement from RESIST!, a international campaign against globalization and war initiated by the International League of Peoples Struggle (ILPS), warning of intentions of the most powerful and industrial countries of the world, the G7, to derail the D'Escoto's UN Conference due its aim to examine how poor, developing countries are affected by the crisis and to seek pro-people, cooperative solutions to alleviate the intense burdens on the world's impoverished.
Other plenary panelists included Byron Blake, UN Ambassador for Jamaica and senior advisor to D'Escoto, who offered a greeting to the Summit audience and former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark.
A special forum on Migrants in conjunction with the UN Conference will also be held on Monday, June 22nd, 7pm at the UN Church Center (777 United Nations Plaza) in Manhattan.

David Shapiro
David Shapiro was born on January 2, 1947, in Newark, New Jersey. He grew up in Deal, New Jersey, in a family of noted artists: cantors, composers, classical singers, pianists, poets, and sculptors. A violin prodigy, Shapiro began performing for large audiences at the age of five and, during the next eleven years, performed with several noted orchestras.
Shapiro was also exposed to poetry at a young age, having read and memorized significant excerpts of the writings of William Blake, T. S. Eliot, John Milton, and William Shakespeare by the age of ten. At nine years old, Shapiro wrote his first poem and, for the next seven years, spent up to three hours a day writing poetry. He began publishing his poetry overseas at the age of ten, and in 1960 he published his first poem in the United States, in the Antioch Review.
By the time he turned fifteen, Shapiro had self-published several poetry collections. That same year he became exposed to many first-generation members of the New York School, who would serve as mentors and influences in his work. He met Frank O'Hara, corresponded with John Ashbery, and worked closely with Kenneth Koch, who recommended Shapiro for undergraduate enrollment at Columbia College, where Shapiro was accepted at the age of sixteen. After taking a year off to play music and write, Shapiro enrolled in Columbia College and published his first book of poems, January (Holt, Rinehart and Winston), in 1965, at the age of eighteen.
Shapiro graduated from Columbia with a BA in English and studied Greek tragedy and English literature at Cambridge University for two years under the Kellett Fellowship, earning an MA. He then returned to Columbia for his PhD in English and comparative literature.
Shapiro has authored over twenty books of literary and art criticism and poetry, including New and Selected Poems, 1965–2006 (Overlook Press, 2007); A Burning Interior (Overlook Press, 2002); and After a Lost Original (Overlook Press, 1994).
His honors include a poetry grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the 1977 Morton Dauwen Zabel Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and fellowships from the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, Graham Foundation, Ingram Merrill Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Shapiro taught English at Columbia College from 1972 to 1981, and has taught poetry and literature at the Cooper Union School of Architecture since 1980. He has also taught at Brooklyn College, Princeton University, and William Paterson College, where he is tenured as an art historian. He lives in Riverside, New York.

Have You Tried Cannabis CBD? 20 CBD Facts you need to know
Since opening our marijuana dispensaries, we've put together a list of the top 20 most interesting facts about CBD to give you the rundown on one of the most promising compounds in modern history. You may have heard about CBD on the news, but what is CBD? Where does it originally come from and what does it do? And, why is everybody talking about CBD? Read on to find out more.
See Related: What Should I Major In To Open A Cannabis Dispensary?
Cannabidiol (CBD) refers to one of the major non-psychoactive components of cannabis.
Since CBD is considered non-psychoactive, by itself, CBD doesn't get you high or impair your cognitive ability.
Research has shown that taking a high-quality CBD supplement on a regular basis can provide a range of health benefits, both mental and physical.
The historical origins of the cannabis plant trace back tens of thousands of years to Ancient China; according to legend, Emperor Shen Nung, also known as the father of Chinese medicine, used medical cannabis to treat a range of ailments.
Named in 1785 after the country of India by French botanist Jean-Baptist Lamarck, the indica strain of the cannabis plant actually originates from Hindu Kush, first grown on what is now the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Indica plants have a bushy shape, with broader leaves, and were more often grown for their psychedelic effect.
Cannabis sativa, on the other hand, is usually a much taller plant with thinner leaves. The sativa strain of cannabis can likely trace its genetic roots back to Europe and South America, where it was traditionally grown for more industrial purposes, such as paper and ropemaking.
The terms hemp and marijuana both refer to different breeds of the same plant species: cannabis. The word cannabis comes from the Ancient Greek word κάνναβις (kánnabis), likely derived from the Ancient Persian word kanab, whereas the term hemp was coined much later by the Latin.
The modern discovery of CBD can be credited to the research of Dr. Roger Adams and his team at the University of Illinois based on wild hemp grown in Minnesota, first published by the Journal of the American Chemical Society in 1940 (Adams et al. 1940).
Nearly two and a half decades later, a group of scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem became the first to determine the chemical structure and stereochemistry of CBD, published in the organic chemistry journal Tetrahedron back in 1963 (Mechoulam & Shvo 1963).
The specific amount of CBD found in hemp or marijuana varies widely depending on the individual strain and genetic makeup of the individual plant. Hemp often contains high levels of CBD, but by law, in order for it to be classified as hemp, a plant cannot contain more than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
Sativa strains tend to be higher in THC, whereas indica strains are usually more balanced in their THC to CBD ratio and generally contain more CBD overall.
There are actually more than 80 different cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant, including THC and CBD, as well as cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabichromene (CBC), and a long list of others that are much less well known. Each of the cannabinoids has unique properties and full-spectrum CBD oil may provide additional health benefits that are not necessarily seen with the use of isolated CBD alone.
With the passage of the Farm Bill back in 2018, hemp, and therefore, CBD, was officially legalized across the United States. The Hemp Farming Act removed hemp from its previous status as a Schedule I narcotic, regulated by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and instead placed it under the purview of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Cannabinoids act on the endocannabinoid system; endocannabinoid receptors are found throughout the human body, including the central nervous system, connective tissue, liver, lungs, kidney, and others, and endocannabinoids play a central role in regulating the immune system (Zou & Kumar 2018).
Research has shown that use of CBD helps to decrease inflammation. A review published in the journal Future Medicinal Chemistry summarized the role of cannabinoids, including CBD, as novel anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of inflammatory conditions such as multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and viral hepatitis (Nagarkatti et al. 2009).
Several studies have also found that CBD is an effective pain reliever. More recently, research published in the highly cited open-access journal Frontiers in Pharmacology concluded that significant potential existed for the use of CBD and other cannabinoids for the treatment of chronic pain conditions and recommended that larger studies were warranted to determine the long-term safety of cannabinoid treatment (Vučković et al. 2018).
In addition, researchers have found that CBD may play a role as an anti-emetic, effectively decreasing nausea and even preventing vomiting. Two major studies demonstrated anti-nausea effects of CBD (Parker et al. 2011, Sharkey et al. 2014). These findings could be especially significant, as some of the anti-nausea drugs currently in use can have significant long term side effects, and new studies have even shown birth defects in pregnant women that were routinely recommended anti-nausea drugs, with lawsuits currently underway.
Scientists have also found that CBD reduces anxiety without many of the negative side effects caused by common pharmaceutical anxiety medications. In 2015, researchers at the New York University School of Medicine published research in the journal Neurotherapeutics that highlighted the use of CBD as a potential treatment for anxiety disorders (Blessing et al. 2015).
A wide range of options are available to anyone interested in trying CBD for themselves. The CBD itself can come in many different forms, including oils, tinctures, capsules, edibles, and even low-THC smokable flower. Different methods of consumption may appeal to you more than others; you may also find that some methods are more effective for you personally.
Dosing CBD can be a trial and error process. Unlike THC, which has a relatively short-lasting effect, it can take up to several days or even weeks to initially see the benefits of CBD treatment.

Many Instagram hacking programs and tools have surfaced over the years. These tools or programs allow you to enter an Instagram account that is not yours and access it completely. However, not all of these tools are reliable. Some even turn out to be malware and adware. If you are planning to get a hacking tool, you need to do your homework right.
How do you know if an Instagram hack tool is good enough? Here are a few features to look out for.
1- Privacy- Look for programs or services that guarantee that your details are concealed and will never be revealed. If your Instagram hacking tool provider cannot do that, it is not worth using.
2- Protection- The program or service must provide you with anonymity and data encryption assurance. The data delivered to you after hacking must also be encrypted and secured.
3- Customer service- It is not demanding to use customer service. That is what they are there for. If the tool developers are not available to help when you need it, better opt for another hacking tool.
4- Ease of use- The tool must be easy to use. The execution must be such that it does not require assistance from experts. Complicated programs and tools will only be burdensome to you.
5- Reliability- The tool or program must be exceptionally reliable. It must not require the use and reuse to hack.
6- Payment- The programmers must not demand money before providing the expected results. If they are demanding money beforehand, there is something to be suspicious about.
It is best to stay alert and look for quality products instead of going with cheap options. This way, the likelihood of getting the right Instagram hack tool is high. Look for the above-given features in your hacking program and tool before making a purchase. This way you can be sure to get the right results.


Dec 01, 2015 | By CENS | DAIKEN TOOLS ENTERPRISE CO., LTD.
After launching last year the functionally innovative circlip pliers that features structure with hidden spring for improved durability and optimally engineered tips at the end of the jaws for firmer holding of rings, Daiken Tools Enterprise Co., Ltd., a pioneering pliers maker established in 1968 in Taichung City, central Taiwan, has been promoting its water pump pliers to further accentuate its consistent devotion to R&D.
Developed on the belief that "small improvements can result in big differences and value," the water pump pliers are designed with a quick-adjust button, which ensures not just easier, more precise adjustment of jaw opening but firmer locking of the jaws than competing models, mostly thanks to the precisely machined teeth along the inner sides of the hole where the button is held; while the gripping capacity is 50mm, larger than most comparable models on market for the moment.
Daiken's water pump pliers has larger jaw opening than most comparable models on market, as well as a button for easy width adjustment.
Moreover, the backlash between the parts and the button is small enough to actually keep dust out of the inside of the mechanism when the button is pulled out for width adjustment, which undoubtedly shows the high machining accuracy that, in turn, helps prolong the lifespan of the water pump pliers, especially significant when such tools are usually used outside or in contaminated environments.
Also among the pliers' merits, the jaws have been designed for stronger clamping, mostly thanks to the small, precisely machined teeth along the upper and lower part, which have been notably hardened through high-frequency induction for better structural durability.
In fact, the development of the water pump pliers was financed by the government's SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) projects, primarily because the design concepts for the product were regarded as showing promise, said Benny Chen, Daiken's assistant general manager. With lighter weight, stronger structure and better functionality, Chen added, the water pump pliers are designed to become an easier-to-use, more efficient tool that enables users to work with water pumps of wide-ranging sizes without the need for other support tools.
Presently, the water pump pliers come in a full range of sizes from 7 to 12 inches, and meet DIN ISO 8679 standards.
The water pump pliers has gripping capacity of 50mm.
It is safe to say Daiken, who began business in the days when CNC machine tools were non-existent to have over 50 years of experience in the development and production of various pliers, is a time-tested, well-regarded maker of its kind in Taiwan, mostly due to its emphasis on product innovation and production capability upgrades.
With operational headquarters in Taiwan and two spacious manufacturing bases in Vietnam, the company is mainly engaged in OEM (original equipment manufacturing) and ODM (original design manufacturing), supplying a wide range of pliers, including linesman pliers, diagonal pliers, long-nose pliers, plastic cutting pliers, fence pliers, groove joint pliers, cutting pliers and custom pliers for special purposes, all of which are developed and made in compliance with international standards and have passed VDE, GS and DIN EN 60900 certifications.
The quality-driven company has steadily invested in its QC capability by employing a full line of testing machines in-house, such as low temperature testing machine, 10,000-volt insulation resistance testing machine, Vickers hardness testing machine, salt spray testing machine, rubber hardness tester and so on.
The jaws enable firmer clamping, thanks partly to precisely machined, small and sharp teeth along both upper and lower part.
Obviously well on its way to be a world-caliber enterprise, the firm, soon to expand its Taiwan headquarters, has just won the 14th Taichung Golden Hand Awards for Outstanding SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) around the end of 2015, which honors the seasoned maker's conscientious effort on making its daily operations from R&D, production, finance to marketing ever more efficient and sustainable. With this award as another feather in its cap, Chen stressed, Daiken, also D&B D-U-N-S registered and ISO-9001 certified, is proud to say it is a trustworthy, competent pliers maker who can supply buyers with truly competitive products to help build mutual profitability and growth prospects.
Daiken just won 2015 Golden Hand Award For Outstanding SEMs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate doctors' and patients' perceptions of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 1 (CIN 1) and its treatment methods. A survey questionnaire was offered to obstetrics and gynaecology doctors and patients with CIN 1 in 2017. Only 43% of patients knew of this disease. Regarding perceptions of its aetiology, 64% of the patients perceived human papillomavirus infection to be the main cause of CIN 1. Patients' most preferred treatments were medication (20%), followed by alternative treatment (14%). Among doctors, regular follow-up was the most preferred method for managing CIN 1. The survey showed that current treatment modalities for CIN 1 were satisfactory to only half of doctors (50%) and patients (53%). Overall, 70% of doctors responded that new drug development for CIN 1 is needed. Although, CIN 1 is a low-grade lesion, doctors and patients expressed the desire for new therapeutic agents to manage it.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? In general, treatment is not recommended for CIN 1 because lesions are considered indicative of transient HPV infection and spontaneously regress in most patients. What do the results of this study add? Regular follow-up for CIN 1 were satisfactory to only half of doctors and patients. Thirty-six percent of patients wanted active treatment instead of regular follow-up. In addition, 70% of doctors responded that new drug development for CIN 1 is needed. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Our results support the need for therapeutic agents for CIN 1.

The innovative hydraulic cartridge for Race performances by Dal Soggio, excellent for off-road disciplines, especially for enduro but also well adaptable and high performing for motocross too. It's absolutely the winning choice for people that demand the maximum for their suspensions, without compromises!
Thanks' to 38 click available, it provides a wide and more precise regulation of compression.
The automatic bleed valves are calibrated one by one in laboratory to ensure the correct internal pression.
The pressurized bladder system guarantees a greater sensitivity to the front fork.
The compression piston is made of anodized ERGAL 7075. There are 4 oil passages instead of 3 to ensure a greater and more precise oil flow.
The rebound piston is made of anodized ERGAL 7075. The 4 oil's passages decrease the wear of oil and shims. The slide band (made with teflon treatment) is necessary to give a greater sensitivity to the hydraulic cartridge.
Thanks to 38 clicks, the rebound regulator provides a wider and more precise rebound adjustment.
This gives the possibility to preload the fork in a simple and fast way, without having to remove the hydraulic cartridge from the forks.
The particular profile of the lip seal is adapted to avoid the slip-stick effect on the small movements of the shock absorber.
This particular sealed and pressurized cartridge considerably increases the precision and sensitivity of the forks, giving better feedback to the rider. Consequently, beyond just safety, you will have more fun riding your dirt bike, whether you are racing or just out having fun riding with friends.
For which model of front fork is available?SPHERE is available for all models of front forks: WP XPLOR, WP 4CS CROSS, WP 4CS ENDURO, WP OPEN, KYB, MARZOCCHI 48, SACHS 48. Dal Soggio Race also offers a new springs kit for SHOWA 49 AIR 2015, KYB AIR 2014, KYB AIR PSF 2015, SHOWA 49 AIR SFF 2016, SHOWA AIR SFF KAWASAKI, KAYABA PSF2 for conversion from air to traditional springs.


COLUMBIA CO., Fla. (WCTV) -- A solid waste employee was killed Tuesday morning when he was struck by a vehicle as he was standing behind his truck.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the crash happened around 10:00 a.m. on County Road 250 just south of NW Kimble Glen in Columbia County.
The crash report states that 38-year-old Kent Sexton was traveling southeast on County Road 250, where a solid waste truck was stopped in the southbound lane. Troopers say Sexton did not notice the stopped truck or the employee standing behind it and crashed into the back of the vehicle.
The employee, 34-year-old Julian Udell, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sexton suffered serious injuries. FHP says charges are pending an investigation.


A Real Slice — Steve McNie, co-founder/host, teacher and conductor of the Corktown Ukulele Jam, celebrated with his friends the group's 7th anniversary last Wednesday, Jan. 13th at Regent Park's Paintbox Bistro.
A capacity crowd of newcomers and veterans alike strummed and sang together Bob Dylan and Stealers Wheel songs on ukulele, guitar and cardboard box drum. Highlights were a funky version of Ravel's "Bolero" and a special tribute to David Bowie. You haven't lived until you've heard "Space Oddity" on ukulele! It was a piece of cake for this crowd!
Hey, Chris Hadfield, now THAT was out of this world!

I have a problem. I start multiple projects at once. Then I steal the hook from one project to go to another. And then.. you guessed it… I forget which hook I was using in the first project. It is SO. AGGRAVATING. And yes, I do own multiple hooks. In fact, I like to "rescue" hooks from garage sales and estate sales. I know. I know. I have a problem. But somehow I manage to LOSE hooks in my house. So when I spotted a cute crochet hook marker online, I just knew I had to make some!
And I figured.. hey.. you're probably a crafty person too, so maybe you'd like to make some too. Maybe you'd even like to make a set for your sister. You know the sister. The one who always finishes every project she starts and probably doesn't even need these guys. But they are pretty. And she might someday take a chance in life, live on the edge and start a 2nd or 3rd (or 100th) project before finishing the first and she might need these. And then she will be ready. Because you're thoughtful that way.
Alphabet letter beads. If you keep track of your hooks by number, you could get number beads instead.
I got my supplies for my crochet hook markers (minus the pliers and cutters) at Hobby Lobby. If you get the supplies on sale and use coupons the cost is not too horrible. Plus if you plan on making more than 1 set, the cost per set is pretty reasonable.
Thread the beads on the pin: first a Czech bead, then a spacer, then the alpha bead, then another spacer, and another Czech bead. If you haven't used the pins before, there is a little "head" at the end which will keep the beads from falling off the end. Jewelry makers will often use these head pins for making earrings.
Next, make sure your beads are snugged down and position your pliers right at the top of the bead.
Then bend the wire 90 degrees over top of the right side of the pliers.
Next, reposition the pliers so they are on the opposite side of the bend and pull the wire up and over to make a circle around the pliers. If you haven't done this before, it might take you a couple of tries. Also, at any time, if things aren't working out as you'd like, you can cut the wire and start over. I do that sometimes when I am not happy about how things are looking. It takes a bit of practice to learn jewelry making.
Now you should have a piece that looks like this. There is actually a little bit of slack space in the beaded area that will be used to wrap the wire around. But before we do any wrapping, now is the time to slip the lobster clasp on the loop.
Now pick up the piece, this time with the pliers grasping right on to the loop. Hold the whole piece up so the beads adjust to the bottom of the pin and there will be a small space between the loop and the start of the pins. Wrap the wire around this space a few times until it is snug. Usually 2 times around will do the job. Cut the wire close to the wraps and use your pliers to push in any protruding wire in between the wraps and beads. I usually run my finger along the cut area to make sure nothing is poking out. You don't want to poke yourself or snag some yarn later when you use the crochet hook markers.
And there you go! A finished Crochet Hook Marker. Just clip this on the open loop of a project and you'll never forget what hook size you were using!
Of course, you will want to make one to correspond with every hook size you have.
In my case, that is a lot!
Let me know if you make a Crochet Hook Marker. I'd love for you to tag me on Instagram @crochet365knitttoo.
Thanks for this easy tutorial. I recently started taking a picture on my phone with the hook on top of my projects, in order to remember which hook for each project. I have four going right now, but I love this cute idea!
What a great idea!!!! Just found a shawl I was working on and the hook wasn't with it. I can't remember the hook size. Probably used it for another project. I'm so going to make these and put them with my hooks.
I am glad I'm not the only one who does this!


Ben has it pretty good considering from the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom place with views onto the Hudson River.

Ukraine's SBU must not help Russia persecute an asylum-seeker
Ukraine's SBU are yet again demonstrating baffling readiness to help the Russian FSB even where the Russian citizens whose extradition Russia is seeking appear to be victims of persecution, like the many Ukrainian political prisoners illegally held in Russia or occupied Crimea.
33-year-old Amkhad Ilaev came to Ukraine legally in 2008, fleeing persecution in Russia. Three of his brothers had been killed by the enforcement bodies in Chechnya and he had every reason to fear for his life. He still does, and has applied for political asylum in Ukraine. This is one of the reasons why Ukraine must not extradite him to Russia, but there are others, equally compelling. They include the fact that Ilaev was in Ukraine at the time that the FSB claim he committed a crime in Russia.
Ilaev settled in Kharkiv oblast back in 2008, and now has a wife and two children. He had already been in Ukraine for some time when the Russian Investigative Committee initiated criminal charges against him. He is accused of killing five members of a Russian-speaking family in Chechnya in August 2009. As Anwar Derkach, a Ukrainian journalist closely following events in the North Caucuses, points out, it is typical for the Russian security service to come up with such serious charges which enable them to get a person placed on the wanted list, and to ensure that INTERPOL issues a Red Notice. This is clearly what happened to Ilaev in Ukraine, and he is now held in the Kharkiv SIZO [remand prison] pending a decision on Russia's extradition request.
The first reason for turning such a request done should in itself be sufficient. As one of Ilaev's lawyers, Ivan Anhelin explains, they went to the village where Ilaev now lives. During the period in question, he was present at a wedding in the area, and helped one of his neighbours on his land. As well as ascertaining that all the villagers spoke highly of Ilaev who plays an active role in the community, the lawyers thus also established that he had been in Ukraine at the time of the crime and could not have committed it.
It is particularly worrying that Anhelin carried out an extensive search for any evidence that INTERPOL had added Ilaev to their database. He found none, despite the claim from Ukraine's law enforcement bodies that Ilaev was detained in March this year on the basis of an INTERPOL red notice. Anhelin emphasises that neither in March 2019, nor at the present time, was Ilaev in the INTERPOL database.
There are thus no grounds for the criminal charges against Ilaev, and for his detention in Ukraine. It is deeply disturbing that he should have been detained at all, and that Ukraine could be on the point of extraditing him to a country where he faces, as a minimum, torture and an unjust trial for a crime he could not have committed.
Anhelin stresses that both Ilaev and his brothers, who were killed, took a clear position in support of Chechen independence and against the current regime in Chechnya under Ramzan Kadyrov. It seems very likely that Ilaev's views are the real reason for his persecution by the Russian authorities. As Boris Zakharov from KHPG points out, Russia is guilty of a humanitarian catastrophe in Chechnya with constant purges, violent disappearances, murders and torture. It is such treatment that forced many people to flee the Russian Federation and seek asylum in other countries.
Russia's use of fabricated prosecutions to justify continued persecution even when its citizens are living abroad is clearly seen in this case, making it impossible to find any good explanation for the sinister degree to which the SBU, and under its pressure, other Ukrainian authorities, appear to be complicit.

During the Cold War, the economy of the United States was largely self-contained because the world was polarized into two separate and competing powers: the East and the West. However, changes and advancements in economic relationships, political systems, and technological options began to break down old cultural barriers. Business transformed from individual-country capitalism to global capitalism. Thus, the study of cross-cultural communication was originally found within businesses and government, both seeking to expand globally. Businesses began to offer language training to their employees and programs were developed to train employees to understand how to act when abroad. With this also came the development of the Foreign Service Institute, or FSI, through the Foreign Service Act of 1946, where government employees received trainings and prepared for overseas posts. There began also implementation of a "world view" perspective in the curriculum of higher education. In 1974, the International Progress Organization, with the support of UNESCO and under the auspices of Senegalese President Léopold Sédar Senghor, held an international conference on "The Cultural Self-comprehension of Nations" (Innsbruck, Austria, 27–29 July 1974) which called upon United Nations member states "to organize systematic and global comparative research on the different cultures of the world" and "to make all possible efforts for a more intensive training of diplomats in the field of international cultural co-operation ... and to develop the cultural aspects of their foreign policy."
In the past decade , there has become an increasing pressure for universities across the world to incorporate intercultural and international understanding and knowledge into the education of their students. International literacy and cross-cultural understanding have become critical to a country's cultural, technological, economic, and political health. It has become essential for universities to educate, or more importantly, "transform", to function effectively and comfortably in a world characterized by close, multi-faceted relationships and permeable borders. Students must possess a certain level of global competence to understand the world they live in and how they fit into this world. This level of global competence starts at ground level- the university and its faculty- with how they generate and transmit cross-cultural knowledge and information to students.
Language socialization can be broadly defined as "an investigation of how language both presupposes and creates anew, social relations in cultural context". It is imperative that the speaker understands the grammar of a language, as well as how elements of language are socially situated in order to reach communicative competence. Human experience is culturally relevant, so elements of language are also culturally relevant. One must carefully consider semiotics and the evaluation of sign systems to compare cross-cultural norms of communication. There are several potential problems that come with language socialization, however. Sometimes people can over-generalize or label cultures with stereotypical and subjective characterizations. Another primary concern with documenting alternative cultural norms revolves around the fact that no social actor uses language in ways that perfectly match normative characterizations. A methodology for investigating how an individual uses language and other semiotic activity to create and use new models of conduct and how this varies from the cultural norm should be incorporated into the study of language socialization.
However, with globalization, especially the increase of global trade, it is unavoidable that different cultures will meet, conflict, and blend together. People from different culture find it is difficult to communicate not only due to language barriers, but also are affected by culture styles. For instance, in individualistic cultures, such as in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, an independent figure or self is dominant. This independent figure is characterized by a sense of self relatively distinct from others and the environment. In interdependent cultures, usually identified as Asian as well as many Latin American, African, and Southern European cultures, an interdependent figure of self is dominant. There is a much greater emphasis on the interrelatedness of the individual to others and the environment; the self is meaningful only (or primarily) in the context of social relationships, duties, and roles. In some degree, the effect brought by cultural difference override the language gap. This culture style difference contributes to one of the biggest challenges for cross-culture communication. Effective communication with people of different cultures is especially challenging. Cultures provide people with ways of thinking—ways of seeing, hearing, and interpreting the world. Thus the same words can mean different things to people from different cultures, even when they speak the "same" language. When the languages are different, and translation has to be used to communicate, the potential for misunderstandings increases.The study of cross-cultural communication is a global research area. As a result, cultural differences in the study of cross-cultural communication can already be found. For example, cross-cultural communication is generally considered to fall within the larger field of communication studies in the US, but it is emerging as a sub-field of applied linguistics in the UK.
As the application of cross-cultural communication theory to foreign language education is increasingly appreciated around the world, cross-cultural communication classes can be found within foreign language departments of some universities, while other schools are placing cross-cultural communication programs in their departments of education.
These theories have also been criticized mainly by management scholars (e.g. Nigel Holden) for being based on the culture concept derived from 19th century cultural anthropology and emphasizing on culture-as-difference and culture-as-essence. Another criticism has been the uncritical way Hofstede's dimensions are served up in textbooks as facts (Peter W. Cardon). There is a move to focus on 'cross-cultural interdependence' instead of the traditional views of comparative differences and similarities between cultures. Cross-cultural management is increasingly seen as a form of knowledge management. Cross cultural communication gives opportunities to share ideas, experiences, and different perspectives and perception by interacting with local people.
High- and low-context cultures: context is the most important cultural dimension and also immensely difficult to define. The idea of context in culture was an idea put forth by an anthropologist by the name of Edward T Hall. He breaks up culture into two main groups: High and Low context cultures. He refers to context as the stimuli, environment or ambiance surrounding the environment. Depending on how a culture relies on the three points to communicate their meaning, will place them in either high or low- context cultures. For example, Hall goes on to explain that low-context cultures assume that the individuals know very little about what they are being told, and therefore must be given a lot of background information. High-context cultures assume the individual is knowledgeable about the subject and has to be given very little background information.
Eye contact, Huseman goes on to explain, is the key factor in setting the tone between two individuals and greatly differs in meaning between cultures. In the Americas and Western Europe, eye contact is interpreted the same way, conveying interest and honesty. People who avoid eye contact when speaking are viewed in a negative light, withholding information and lacking in general confidence. However, in the Middle East, Africa, and especially Asia eye, contact is seen as disrespectful and even challenging of one's authority. People who make eye contact, but only briefly, are seen as respectful and courteous.

With so much of our work appearing in the digital space, the opportunity to realize our designs and bring them out into a physical retail space with Red Bull's first physical store, Red Bull World, was a welcomed challenge.
As a second part to our digital work for Red Bull Shop – their online retail venture – we worked to create the visual identity for their first physical retail store in America located at their U.S. headquarters in Santa Monica. Expanding upon the brand book that we created for their online design, we continued through to design the in-store shopping experience for their real world consumers.
We first performed a complete brand analysis. It was during this research phase that we began to hone in the visual language that we would use first for their online store and then translate into the physical space of their retail shop. We focused on a visual mood that would blend the geometric with the organic. Looking at these components we arrived on a visual language defined by two dominant elements: a navy rectangular "fractal" pattern and a grainy wooden texture inspired by the furniture and floors selected for the space. These concepts would define the "visual through-line" for all of the visual designs both online and in the retail shop.
With our visual language in place we then looked towards the physical production of each piece for the store. So much goes into the physical design of a retail space and even small aspects play into the overall shopping experience. We knew the experience needed to feel dynamic and energetic, yet still polished and high-end. We first focused on "mood pieces" which allowed the client to visualize what would become the completed look of the retail space. Creating these mood pieces was integral to our design process as it allowed us to work and clarify our goals in a logical progression, to prevent from losing time by working in the wrong direction. After a mood piece was selected and its aesthetic approved we could then focus on developing all the graphic materials and move each piece into production.
We designed everything that plays into the overall retail experience, from hang tags, to hangers, wrapping paper, discount cards, gift cards, business cards, signs, wall art, and invitations. In the end it was so rewarding to step into the store and see the way every small bit of work plays into the overall brand experience and aesthetic of the shopping environment. The space is engaging and energetic while remaining subtle and in the background of the merchandise which is what really needs to stand out. The store does not hit you over the head with its branding, but rather, feels cohesive, inviting, and modern.
The store launch was an incredible success and well received amongst employees and Red Bull enthusiasts. To us at EAT, it serves as a little gallery of our work, for all to see and we think that's pretty special.

In 2012, it was estimated that 89 percent of the world's population had access to improved water sources. While this sounds promising, Duke researchers say international metrics for safe drinking water do not tell the whole story and that there remains a significant need for safe and scalable water supply solutions.
In the April bulletin of the World Health Organization, DGHI faculty member Marc Jeuland and Global Health Doctoral Scholar Jenny Orgill argue that international metrics should be interpreted with great caution since there are no common definitions and metrics for measuring water safety. Their work in Southeast Asia shows the current definition of "improved" does not reliably predict safety from bacteria. They point to problems in both the quantity and quality of water sources that are exacerbated by people's hygiene, water handling and sanitation practices. Three factors in particular that contribute to contamination risk and can compromise water safety are water storage over long time periods, unreliable and unregulated piped water supplies, and the complexity of household water management practices. The combination of these factors leads to the greatest water quality problems in locations where improvements in access have been greatest or are still most needed.
Along with researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the WHO, and the Georgia Institute of Technology, the team argues for more targeted research on effective ways to improve the safety of drinking water supplies.

General Description: Dade Battlefield marks the beginning of open hostilities with the Seminole Indians in the Second Seminole War. During December, 1835, Major Francis Dade was leading 110 soldiers along the Military Road from Fort Brooke (Tampa) to Fort King (Ocala) through the Seminole Indian Reservation on a mission to resupply and reinforce Fort King. The Seminole Indians were becoming furious with efforts to relocate them again from their homes on the Reservation to the Arkansas Territory. Major Dade knew his men would be attacked along the route, but expected the attack to come at the river crossings to the south. Once beyond these rivers, Major Dade relaxed and pulled in his flanking scouts even though they knew the Indians were continuing to shadow them. The Seminole Indians had planned on attacking the soldiers but were waiting for Osceola to join them to lead the attack. Osceola had been delayed dealing with an Indian agent at Fort King and did not join them as planned. Once the soldiers were within 100 miles of Fort King, the Seminoles could not wait any longer so they set up an ambush in the longleaf sandhills by hiding in the saw palmetto and using a small lake to cut off any retreat. With 180 Seminole Indians against the 110 men in Dade's command the ambush was deadly from the start. The Seminole's very first volley killed Major Dade and most of his officers. In addition, most of the soldiers were artillery soldiers who first impulse was to construct a wooden barricade for protection. Their one field cannon was effective in keeping the Seminoles from overwhelming them, so long as they had ammunition. The wooden barricade was a simple three log high triangle built around the surviving soldiers. All but two of the soldiers were killed by the end of the battle. When word of this massacre was reported in the press, the public demanded a response and the Second Seminole War was begun. Today the Dade Battlefield is a small historic park along the Military Road. There is a small Visitor Center, a reconstruction of the wooden barricade, and a short trail along the military road giving positions and outcomes of the battle. There is also a nature hike through the pine flatwoods that is slowly being restored to the conditions at the time of the battle.
1) The Visitor Center includes a nice set of exhibits about the Seminole Wars (all three of them) along with a map and timeline of the Second Seminole War. They also have a very good video about the battle using reenactors that annually recreate the battle in December.
2) The short trail along the Military Road includes some interpretive signs that give the positions and outcomes of the battle as it unfolds. They have reconstructed the three log barricade the soldiers erected to try to protect them. There are also a couple of monuments that were put up to commemorate the location of Major Dade and one of his officers died in the first volley.
3) There is a VERY large live oak that is suppose to be over 250 years old. Very impressive in size and spread.
4) The nature trail through the pine flatwoods is a nice, easy walk. You get a good appreciation of the effects of burning, since part of it had been recently burned and other parts that had not seen a fire in at least 10 years.

Resentment Among Humanists
Irving Klotz's criticism of postmodernist criticism [The Scientist, July 22, 1996, page 9] had the usual clarity and analytical logic that have been familiar to me since I met him the first time 40 years ago. While in full agreement with him, I would like to suggest that philosophers and humanists have some justification for resenting scientists and, indirectly, the liberal democracies and the Western civilization that spawned us. Traditionally, humanists were the darlings of the ruling classe

Irving Klotz's criticism of postmodernist criticism [The Scientist, July 22, 1996, page 9] had the usual clarity and analytical logic that have been familiar to me since I met him the first time 40 years ago. While in full agreement with him, I would like to suggest that philosophers and humanists have some justification for resenting scientists and, indirectly, the liberal democracies and the Western civilization that spawned us.
Traditionally, humanists were the darlings of the ruling classes and, in a world of limited resources, they were in an enviable position that allowed them to lead lives of comfort. More important, they had a considerable influence on the minds of the rulers, usually to the benefit of mankind.
Then, that same Western civilization that they had created generated two centuries ago liberal democracies that supplanted the traditional ruling classes. The new ruling classes were more interested in...

Why do the royals keep their wills secret? To stop the public seeing just how rich they are
David McClure
December 3, 2021, 9:24 a.m. ·3 min read

Whether it's immunity from freedom of information requests or paying estate or corporation tax, the royal family enjoys a panoply of financial privileges denied to the general public. But nothing sets them more apart from the common citizen than their special position over sealed wills and their inherited wealth. This was first brought home last April with Prince Philip's death and the palace's high court application to seal his will.
With the publication last Wednesday of a full list of more than 30 sealed royal wills, following a judgment in September – not to mention a legal challenge to the high court by the Guardian – we know more details of what was decided (Philip's will and those of future deceased royals will be opened only after at least 90 years), and why it was decided (the tradition of sealed royal wills has lasted almost a century and in the court's view there is no reason to end this practice that legitimately preserves their privacy). The president of the family division of the high court, Sir Andrew McFarlane, ruled that senior members of the royal family had to be exempted from the law requiring the publication of wills. That was "necessary to enhance the protection afforded to the private lives of this unique group of individuals, in order to protect the dignity and standing of the public role of the sovereign and other close members of her family".
But dig a little deeper and this release of the names of sealed royal wills raises more questions than answers.
For a start, it is not such a generous act of transparency as it claims to be, since the information has already been accessible for more than a decade. While I was researching a book on royal wills in 2010, the central probate office gave me an exact typed written copy of the list.
What's more, the list contains a number of anomalies that suggests that the whole policy of sealing "royal" wills is not clearly thought through. For some reason, the list originally included the name of Leopold de Rothschild, which was later removed after the high court acknowledged this was "an error" since he was not a member of the royal family; but it does not inspire confidence. In addition, the list inexplicably contains the name of a distant relative of Prince Philip, Prince George of Denmark, which suggests that even if you are a member of a small European royal house, if you make a big legal fuss you can keep your will under wraps.
The judgment also fails to consider the public interest effectively. The role of the attorney general was to represent the public interest by balancing points favouring public inspection with those against. But a careful reading shows that on almost all matters, the attorney general sided with the palace, and there was no appropriate application in support of full disclosure. This lack of representation of the public's interest in full disclosure, in the shape of the press, is an important plank in the Guardian's current legal action against the high court.
This leaves the mystery of why the royal family insists on having its wills closed while the principle of full openness to prevent fraud applies to everyone else in the country. Norman Baker, the former government minister, has argued that they do so to hide just how much money they receive from taxpayers. He said: "The main embarrassing fact is just how much money they have accumulated from public funds. If the public knew just how hugely rich they are, they might take a view it was high time public funding was cut."
But this may be just half the story. In order to connect with the mass of the population, the royals have to appear less rich than they actually are. If the electorate knew that they were inheriting vast sums, they would be less willing to give them such a generous sovereign grant from their taxes.

2021 home sales set new record, tops previous high by 20 per cent: CREA
The Canadian Real Estate Association says annual home sales reached a new high in 2021, eclipsing the previous record set in 2020 by about 20 per cent. The association said Monday that about 667,000 residential properties changed hands in 2021, about 30 per cent more than the 10-year average. However, home sales in December were little changed from November and were coupled with a dearth of properties on the market that was so extreme that CREA senior economist Shaun Cathcart called it a record
LOS ANGELES (AP) — On an isolated farm, greenhouses stand in regimental order, sheltered by a fringe of trees. Inside are hundreds of head-high cannabis plants in precise rows, each rising from a pot nourished by coils of irrigation tubing. Lights powerful enough to turn night into day blaze overhead. In the five years since California voters approved a broad legal marketplace for marijuana, thousands of greenhouses have sprouted across the state. But these, under their plastic canopies, conceal
LONDON (AP) — Anti-poverty organization Oxfam called Monday for governments to impose a one-time 99% tax on the world's billionaires and use the money to fund expanded production of vaccines for the poor — part of an effort to combat global inequality widened by the coronavirus pandemic. The ranks of the super-rich have swelled during the pandemic thanks to ample financial stimulus that pumped up stocks, the group said. Meanwhile, poor countries have suffered more than their share from COVID-19
