Elixinol Global CEO Paul Benhaim's lifelong love for Hemp
Posted on September 28th, 2018 by Elixinol
Environmental and wellness advocate Paul Benhaim, founder and CEO of Elixinol, believes industrial hemp can make the Earth a cleaner place.
He was first attracted to hemp in the early '90s after he learned of the plant's low environmental impact and high levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
At a young age, Benhaim–born in the United Kingdom–traveled extensively. His adventures took him to locales like southeast Asia, the Himalayas, India, Thailand, and Laos.
During his travels, Benhaim fell in love with the seemingly pristine landscapes, only to learn that things weren't exactly as they seemed.
Worldwide travels lead to nutritional awakening
Despite the fact that many of the countries Benhaim visited are considered by the Western world to be "impoverished," he noticed that the people of these countries were incredibly nourished and content.
This intrigued Benhaim, and he set out to learn more about why these peoples seemed to be thriving in ways that many Westerners were not. He began by studying the nutritional properties of the foods they ate and found a common thread: a large portion of their foods contained high levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Not long after he began learning more about omega-3- and -6-rich foods, Benhaim met the owner of a Canadian hemp store who lauded the nutritive value of hemp. The store's owner was passionate about all things hemp, including paper, clothing, fuel, and food.
Benhaim was skeptical at first–until his new acquaintance revealed an important link between hemp and the foods he had dedicated himself to studying.
"The hemp-as-food part made me suspect of his facts, so I quizzed him knowing a little about nutrition," says Benhaim. "He then [told me] about the high content of omega-3 and omega-6 [fatty acids in hemp], and that changed my life."
Hemp enthusiast-turned-entrepreneur
Inspired by hemp's outstanding nutritive value, Benhaim launched himself headlong into the world of hemp foods, developing a hemp snack bar called the 9bar. He launched the 9bar in 1996, and the popular snack is still in production today.
Some of his other hemp food products include bread, ice cream, and milk.
In 1999, Benhaim founded Hemp Foods Australia–which remains a popular brand today. He then delved deeper into the industrial hemp world by helping to develop and launch companies that produced plastic made from hemp fiber, as well as hemp-based skincare and body care products.
Benhaim has also authored nine books about the many facets of the industrial hemp world, including H.E.M.P.: Healthy Eating Made Possible.
Over time, Benhaim's team at Hemp Foods Australia began amassing customer inquiries regarding their hemp seed oil. In particular, they wanted to know if it could be used as a dietary supplement to support their healthy lifestyles.
Benhaim's team explained that hemp seed oil wouldn't serve well as a dietary supplement–but the requests continued to roll in. He realized what his customers actually needed was CBD extract sourced from hemp, and he needed to figure out how to provide it. But first, he had to identify a source.
"I went back to my colleagues in Europe that I had worked with, and we actually found a way to extract hemp CBD from the crops that were being grown in Europe," Benhaim says.
"And that was the beginning of founding of Elixinol [in 2014], which we soon moved to Colorado in the USA to produce the highest quality form of hemp CBD."
Today, Elixinol is one of the world's leading manufacturers of full spectrum hemp CBD extract. With international operations in the United States, Japan, and Europe, Elixinol is considered a world leader in premium hemp products.
In January 2018, Elixinol joined its sister company, Hemp Foods Australia, to form Elixinol Global (ASX: EXL), which is a publicly traded stock on the Australian Securities Exchange with a bright future ahead. As of September 2018, Elixinol is also listed on the U.S. OTCQX under ticker symbol ELLXF.
By sharing his passion for sustainable and healthy change, Benhaim continues to inspire global audiences. He regularly travels to locations like Japan, China, Thailand, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Poland, Spain, France, Germany, United Kingdom, North America, and South America to advise governments on legislative changes involving hemp.
A true "citizen of the world," Benhaim leads the way in cutting-edge innovation for industrial hemp products worldwide.
"Working with governments who invite me to come and advise them on policies for changing legislation allows me to see into the future that we will have a hemp-friendly world, where we will see more hemp products in different cultures," Benhaim says. "This excites me for the future of our world."

Q: Recovering an EC2 instance I was running an ubuntu EC2 instance for about an year and I lost SSH connectivity to it after installing the latest updates. I was running a Rails application with automated capistrano deployment from Codeship.
The server kept refusing two of my private keys and also key from Codeship which I'm using for Continuous Deployment. I thought the authorized_keys file may be corrupted and tried all the ways to recover it. But, I'm not successful. Fortunately, I have a snapshot that was taken in February.
Here's what I've tried:

*

*I created a snapshot with the latest drive and re-created another volume from it.

*I created a new instance and mounted the new volume that I've created as /dev/sdf.

*While inspecting the authorized_keys file on the drive, it has all the 3 keys I mentioned earlier as is.

So, I can conclude that there are no problems with my keys but something with the SSH configs. Even though, I can create a new instance without any hustle, the main problem is I've to dump the data from the mysql database present in that volume. Is that possible? If so, how can I do that with the mounted volume?

A:
I've to dump the data from the mysql database present in that volume. Is that possible? If so, how can I do that with the mounted volume?

Yes, that's possible:

*

*Install mysql on the host.

*Stop mysqld.

*Either point the datadir directive inside the mysql config to /<mountpoint-of-your-old-host/path/to/the/datadir or remove /path/to/the/datadir and symlink /<mountpoint-of-your-old-host/path/to/the/datadir to /path/to/the/datadir.

*Take care of permissions and ownership etc. while doing this.

*Start mysqld, do the dump and profit!

*Hint: Implement a system which does dumps of your databases and important data each minute / hour / day / week automatically and saves these in one, better two, remote locations. If the data is sensitive, encrypt it.

A: If you start an EBS instance, then follow this guide How to Recover an Unreachable Linux Instance
An EBS EC2 instance is a blessing. What you need to do is :

*

*Go to EC2 web console, under EBS - volumes, look for the EBS volume
attach to the instance. Make sure you shutdown instance before doing
this.

*Detach it from the instance-id.

*Now Attach this volume to another "good" EC2 instance.

*Go into that "good EC2" instance, mount the drive.

If you are not sure about all this, just create a tiny EC2 instance that start inside EBS, and play it first. And you should also create snapshot(s) for the "bad" EC2 (tag them please) as backup for the original volume.
Since EBS volumes is a network storage, this shouldn't be difficult to mount the MySQL volume and transfer it to new EC2.  What you need to do is a lot more snapshot backup before playing with the mysql volume move.
If you don't have a problem launching instance from the "bad EC2 snapshot", then you should do it.  First launch the instance, then mount the DB volume. Since the configuration are IDENTICAL, you should have no problem get your Mysql running immediately with those data intact. (but again, make more snapshot for all those volume before you try them out)
For difficult part, check out this : Moving a MySQL Database from One EBS Volume to Another on AWS EC2 . Just remember to backup!  Since EBS volume are charge in pro-rated way, so don't hesitate to create a few backup (even if the DB span a few hundred GB or TB). You can remove them afterwards and only charged for the period of using those storage.

Santa Fe Opera premieres Oscar missing his Wilde side

By Rodney Punt
Like the unwieldy storm clouds that had gathered and burst overhead all week, the July 27 premiere of Oscar at the Santa Fe Opera aimed for catharsis. With its stellar cast, elaborate sets and massive orchestra, Theodore Morrison's opera, based on the tragic final years of playwright Oscar Wilde's life, was both a brave and uncannily apt commission for the company. At least it seemed so on paper.
Completing his first opera at age 75, veteran composer Morrison and his co-librettist, the eminent opera director John Cox, may have loved Oscar not wisely but too well. How so? The emotionally charged news-cycle of current human rights advocacies too obviously shaped Wilde's operatic persona into a persecuted martyr for the cause of gay liberation. Amidst the ensuing hero worship, Wilde's complex real life character proved as elusive of capture as bottling New Mexican lightening.
The brilliant, flamboyant, mesmerizing, prideful, reckless, and self-destructive Oscar Wilde that the world has come to know is here entirely missing in action; his exuberant and at times dark character attenuated by selective revelation and adoring obfuscation. Wilde, sans his brilliant theatrical wit and scintillating personality, emerges as just a man in a jam named Oscar.
The opera resembles a tragic oratorio without much in the way of real conflict. Act I begins just before the infamous guilty verdict in Wilde's sham trial for sodomy. Act II continues with his sentence of two years' hard labor at Reading Gaol. The Wilde we encounter is in the first act a fatalistic victim of a cruel legal system and in the second a passive victim of a cruel prison system. The ensuing journey from point A to point A' leaves no room to unfold a dramatic arc.
Characters are often defined by description at the cost of engaging drama. Live action segments are sparse, giving way to reflection, memory and narration. (No less than one half of the libretto consisted of excerpted works with observations by Wilde and his circle of literary friends.) When in an active mode, however, the opera did come alive in isolated scenes. Under such limiting overall circumstances, Kevin Newbury's imaginative and empathetic direction compensated for many of the inherent weaknesses in the opera.
The title role was written for countertenor David Daniels, who acted and sang through a long evening in as compelling, fresh and pliant a voice as this writer has ever heard from him. His doomed character was, however, on an internalized journey from humiliation to a purification of soul with few signposts from which to measure progress.

Along that way Oscar existed sometimes in the real world, where various characters interact with him, and sometimes in his projected fantasies, most often those of his beloved Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas, portrayed here in a silent role by the supple dancer, Reed Luplau, as imaginatively choreographed by Seán Curran. Bosie was the doppelganger of both soothing reveries and tormenting nightmares, transforming from a life energy into an image of death. Bosie's presence was introduced in the orchestra by a lovely cello theme. But his non-singing role too often cast him as a decorative cameo rather than an interactive actor.
Oscar's refuge in the home nursery room of novelist and loyal friend Ada "Sphinx" Leverson (sympathetically portrayed by soprano Heidi Stober in the opera's only female role), accompanied by their journalist friend Frank Harris (another solid outing by SFO tenor William Burden) provided much needed dramatic dialogue, even if its mission to convince the doomed Wilde to flee England was foreordained to failure.
Likewise, a second act encounter in the prison infirmary (featuring tenor David Blalock and bass Benjamin Sieverding) gave rise to a touching interaction between Wilde's wounded and humbled sophisticate and the two unschooled but intuitively wise fellow-travelling patients. It was the single most moving scene in the opera.
Less effective was Wilde's interaction with the cardboard villainy of Governor of Reading Gaol Colonel Isaacson (hollow-cheeked bass Kevin Burdette), whose malice was dramatically too brief to be any more malevolent than short-term bluster. (Where was Cool Hand Luke's Strother Martin when this opera needed him?)
Ada's nursery as Oscar's courtroom
David Korins' grand-scaled sets served effectively as heavenly halls and horrible prisons, but his big surprise was an imaginative set piece at the end of Act I, where the safety of Ada's nursery room morphed in Oscar's tortured mind into the hated courtroom, its harmless toys becoming menacing accusers, its crib a jail cell, and its jack-in-the-box a jeering judge spitting out Wilde's guilt as it bobbed mockingly side by side.
David C. Woolard's delirious costuming added colorful heft to the surreal moment, just as his Victorian-period costumes had supported the veracity of other scenes. The distorted nursery trope had resonance in Bosie's recurring image as the source of both Wilde's adoration and downfall. The things he had assumed safe had in fact become fatal.
Substituting for a scarcity in dramatic conflict was the ill-conceived conceit of a prologue and epilogue bookending the opera's two acts and featuring a heavenly Walt Whitman (the emphatic baritone Dwayne Croft) who, in his more corporeal days had met Wilde on his American tour of 1882. Speaking from the Halls of Immortality, Whitman assured the audience in their humble seats of mortality that Oscar's greatness would ultimately be rewarded. This foreknowledge collapsed Wilde's trials and tribulations on stage into a ritualized road trip to beatification.
Had the real Wilde known so trite a dramatic device as this latter-day deus ex machina would be employed in his rescue, he would likely have demurred at departing his honest grave. Coming to praise Wilde, Whitman's presence embalmed a complex and contradictory character with saintly immortality and buried him in the soil of blandness.
It wasn't as if the creative team that devised Oscar lacked an abundance of incident in the playwright's life from which to draw. There was, for instance, his surprising triumph in 1882 as a lecturer on aesthetics to rapt cowboys and miners in America's Wild West. A decade later came the flamboyant and dangerous period of Wilde's double life as celebrated playwright of London's West End and obsessive denizen of its dangerous underworld. There was potential for the interactive frisson of conversation between Wilde and his fatal attraction, Bosie, the sunshine lover who egged on an unnecessary trial but then fled when the consequences became too hot to handle. Finally, the enticing opportunity to adapt the real trial was available on the historic record, and offered a verbatim account of Wilde's rapier wit almost winning the day against the Marquess of Queensbury's dogged determination to destroy him.
Such incidents could have made for a blood-curdling evening at the opera, but all were missed opportunities left on the creative floor of Oscar.
The ruminating drama had no such lumbering counterpart in the evening's skillful vocal lines and effective instrumental music. Given the opera's dramatic passivity and episodic structure, Morrison's orchestra spoke in a surprisingly active voice and with clean and crisp textures.
From its cinematic opening in big, bold statements, ably executed in the hands of conductor Evan Rogister, the orchestra was a colorful and alternatingly soulful or aggressive presence. Its language was conservatively tonal but well-crafted, and accented with heavy dissonances that could on occasion test atonal boundaries. Powerful choral passages in the prison scene and earlier, ably prepared by chorus master Susanne Sheston, revealed the composer's long mastery in this idiom. Especially effective was his use of brass choirs, the latter creating colors with the winds that could be ejaculatory in their mockery, wrenchingly dissonant in agonized lower brass legatos, and bracing in the trumpet stabs of prison cruelties. The orchestra's virtuosity confirmed the septuagenarian Morrison's passing comment in one of the many panel meetings before the premiere that all his previous music had been "juvenilia."
Playwright Oscar Wilde cautioned his audiences in The Importance of Being Earnest that truth is rarely pure and never simple. It is unlikely that the author of such later shocking live-action operas as Salome, A Florentine Tragedy and Der Zwerg would have approved, even at the sake of an unflattering portrayal, the well-intentioned but severely censored realization of his character in Oscar.
That said, there was still much to savor in this premiere.

A beautiful read, especially difficult given the criticisms that I know you would never include if they were not true. Excellent review!


The psalmist describes his yearning for God.
6: Why so downcast, my soul, why disquieted within me? Have hope in God; I will yet praise Him for His saving presence.
7-8: O my God, my soul is downcast; therefore I think of You in this land of Jordan and Hermon, in Mount Mizar, where deep calls to deep in the roar of Your cataracts; all Your breakers and billows have swept over me.

Rhonda Albom, an American who relocated to New Zealand in 2003, shares her experiences. Having moved with her husband and young children, she talks about the advantages and occasional drawbacks she has experienced in the Land of the Kiwis. You can read more about her experiences on her blog Albom Adventures and follow her on Twitter at RhondaAlbom for tips and advice about living in New Zealand.
A: Chicago, although I lived in San Francisco for 15 years before leaving the US.
A: Auckland, New Zealand (actually, I am about 45 minutes from Auckland).
Q: When did you move to New Zealand?
Q: Did you move to New Zealand alone or with a spouse/family?
A: I moved with my husband and two daughters - then ages 3 and 5.
A: We wanted a clean, green living and a better place to raise our children. My husband is a consultant and I am a writer. We can work anywhere in the world, provided we have Internet.
Q: What do you enjoy most about New Zealand? How would you rate the quality of life compared to America?
A: It is crisp, clean and beautiful here. Our money goes a lot farther, so we have a more comfortable home and far better view. In general I would say New Zealand is a more relaxed and healthier lifestyle.
A: Of course there are negatives. The biggest is being away from family and friends - even after 12 years.
Q: What are the biggest adjustments you had to make when settling into expat life in New Zealand? Did you experience any particular elements of culture shock?
A: As an American mum of toddlers, the biggest adjustment for me was getting used to giving my children substantially more freedom.
A: Because we came from San Francisco at the height of the housing prices, it is actually cheaper for us to live here. We seem to be an anomaly, as many of the other American expats we know find it more expensive to live in New Zealand.
As for specifics big ticket imported items are way more expensive here like computers, cameras, automobiles, and tools. American brands of clothing, shoes, books and food are also more expensive here. What is cheaper is anything out of China or anything that can be grown or produced in New Zealand.
A: If you live in Auckland city centre, the public transportation seems to be pretty good, however out where we live it is spotty. From our house I can drive into Auckland in about an hour, take the ferry or a morning express bus for 50 minutes, or spend about 3 hours on a bus at other times of day.
Q: How would you rate the healthcare in Auckland? Have you had any particularly good/bad experiences with regards to doctors and hospitals? Are there any hospitals you would recommend?
A: New Zealand has socialized medicine. Nearly all treatment starts with your family or general practitioner, who will send you on to a specialist if necessary. The wait to see the specialist can be quite long, but like many expats we know, we also carry private insurance that allows us to cut the queue. Also, New Zealand has a separate system that covers accidents, so if we get injured the expenses are minimal. To date we have had excellent medical care. As for hospitals, my recommendation would be to avoid them - anywhere in the world if possible.
Q: What are the biggest safety issues facing expats living in New Zealand? Are there any areas expats should avoid?
A: Personally, I have never encountered any threats to myself as an expat. However, being American I am often stereotyped, sometimes making it more difficult for me to meet people and make friends.
A: The current housing situation in the country reflects high prices, and it is generally blamed on expats coming over with money and driving up the prices. We were lucky that we purchased our home many years ago, before the boom. One thing I found quite different is that rental prices are generally calculated per week, rather than per month.
A: It depends on what you like. There seem to be fewer Americans here than other groups, and I have never heard of an American neighbourhood.
A: A difficult question that depends on your nationality. The overt racism in a country that is basically 150 years old is quite shocking. I run into occasional anti-American sentiment, but certain Asian and Island cultures seem to take the brunt of the discrimination here. I had some damage to my belongings when we moved here and one of the repair people recommended by my insurance company refused to help me because they "don't repair American furniture."
A: After 12 years I have some fantastic friends here, both Kiwis and other immigrants. The easiest way to meet people here, and probably anywhere, is to get involved in something you are passionate about. Meet Ups are available in many areas, which bring together people of common interests.
However, when we first arrived it felt lonely for a while. As a generalization, Kiwis are one of the nicest groups of people I have ever met. However, I have talked with many expats who feel the same, it is a slow process to get beyond superficial friendships, but worth the effort.
A: I estimate at least half of my friends are expats, a pretty high percentage compared to the overall population. Again, I would recommend Meet Ups, volunteering and joining clubs or sports in which you are passionate about.
A: I don't work for a company in New Zealand.
A: I am the trailing spouse. As a mum of small children when we came over, I think I had an easier time then my husband, as I hooked up with other parents.
A: My children were 3 and 5 when we moved and it was smooth and easy for them. They immediately loved the freedom they had in New Zealand, as well as the ability to be barefoot anytime and of course, they loved the ice cream.
A: We have always home educated. However, many of our daughters' friends go to school. The best comparison I heard to US schools is that American schools focus on facts while New Zealand schools focus on problem solving.
A: Remember you moved to a new county, so it is you that needs to adapt, rather than the other way around. I think the biggest problem expats often face is wanting things to be the way they were back home.

A lifelong writer, Becca found her way to a career in health and fitness through martial arts and CrossFit. After graduating from the University of Southern California with an MFA in Cinema-Television Production, Becca worked as a music editor for film and television. Soon after graduation she started studying martial arts. Though she started with traditional martial arts it was not long before she discovered mixed martial arts (MMA) and her path was forever altered. She began training in Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ) and muay Thai and started working with professional MMA fighters, building websites, working on fight promotions, and producing videos.
As a competitor in BJJ herself, Becca wanted to get stronger and fitter. In 2005 she discovered CrossFit and became a student at CrossFit Los Angeles. In only a couple of years she became CrossFit Level III Certified, left her career in the film industry, and dedicated herself full time to coaching. She also held an NSCA-CSCS from 2006-2008, is a certified IndoRow instructor, and holds a Level I DVRT certification. In addition to coaching adults, she founded the CrossFit LA Kids program in 2010, where she taught children ages 5-17.

Salford Chiropractic Treatments & Services
Chiropractor Salford Greater Manchester (M5): If you have been suffering continual pain in your limbs, neck or back and established treatments have been unable to alleviate your condition, you should think about popping along to your local Salford chiropractor, to see whether he/she will be able to help get rid of that discomfort. Two of the most common causes of spinal conditions are road accidents and sports injuries and a big chunk of a chiropractor's workload is treating folks suffering as a result of these kinds of complications.
Just What is a Chiropractor? - You might be wondering "What is a chiropractor?" and to describe it briefly, it is a highly trained health care practitioner whose speciality is the adjustment and manipulation of the spine for the purpose of reducing pain brought on by disorders of the muscles and nerves. These treatments are typically regarded as being within the alternative medicine spectrum, but are becoming more widespread in these modern times, and people in Salford are frequently looking to chiropractors for help.
The majority of chiropractors in Salford address a whole host of complaints including hip pain, tennis elbow, plagiocephaly, lumbar pain, knee pain, neck pain, dizziness, tension, foot pain, back pain, headaches, ankle pain, whiplash, muscle spasms, frozen shoulder, sciatica pain, shoulder pain, migraines, tinnitus, leg pain, arm pain, and pretty much anything with regard to the joints, muscles and bones, although a few Salford chiropractors concentrate on certain aspects of the field such as lower back pain or sports injuries.
What is Involved? - Your chiropractic treatment programme in Salford, should commence with an initial consultation, so the chiropractor can understand the background of your complaint. A health questionnaire will need to be filled out to give them a detailed outline of your lifestyle and general health. Lasting for around 60 minutes this initial appointment will probably conclude with the chiropractor outlining their conclusions in regard to your complaint. If the chiropractor believes that a course of therapy is likely to be helpful in mitigating your condition the first treatment can be organised at an suitable time.
Chiropractic Treatments - Do They Hurt? Ordinarily chiropractic treatments do not hurt, patients may feel a little pressure or discomfort when corrections are being made to the joints, but get a level of relief shortly after. When all is said and done, the fact that these treatments are in the main drug free, gentle and safe, is a massive plus factor.
Extra services and therapies could be available from specific chiropractors in Salford including sports massage, bikefitting, yoga sessions, the Graston technique, IDD disc therapy, chiropody, acupuncture, extra corporeal shockwave therapy, K-Laser therapy and physiotherapy. Your requirement for such services will obviously depend upon whatever disorders you're enduring. Guidance and advice on ergonomics, nutrition, rehabilitation, therapeutic exercises, diet, lifestyle changes, posture and self-help, will likewise be available.
All chiropractors, including those operating in Salford, are regulated by the General Chiropractic Council, an independent statutory body that was set up by an Act of Parliament (the Chiropractors Act 1994) to keep tabs on those who are involved in this health related profession. All people working as chiropractors have to be fully signed up members of the GCC (General Giropractic Council), and it's a criminal offence to offer patients treatment if they aren't listed on the official "Register of Chiropractors". The essential role of the UK-wide GCC (General Giropractic Council) is to maintain high working standards throughout the chiropractic profession and to to assure the safety and health of patients whenever they're undergoing chiropractic procedures.
What is the Difference Between an Osteopath and a Chiropractor? - One of the most commonly asked questions is "Just what is the difference between a chiropractor and an osteopath?" To put it candidly - there isn't any appreciable difference. In fact the 2 disciplines are very similar and have very similar goals, ie to alleviate pain in the patient. With that said, an osteopath will usually work on the entire body of patients, while a chiropractor tends to focus on the vertebrae and spine. Furthermore, Osteopaths also apply their knowledge to treat a whole range of other medical conditions including colic, acid reflux, osteoarthritis, pain during pregnancy, sleeping issues, period pain, postnatal stress and depression.
Laser Therapies Salford - Besides the standard bone manipulation therapies, occasionally chiropractors in Salford are able to offer you additional treatment solutions, and one of these is laser therapy, which comes in 2 ways - "Low Level Laser Therapy" and "High Intensity Laser Therapy". LLLT or "cold" laser therapy as it is often known is a procedure which is widely recognised for helping bone formation, tissue repair and nerve regeneration. Low Level Laser Therapy professes to boost the body's healing process and is believed to be especially helpful with bone injuries and soft tissue damage. In comparison, HILT (High Intensity Laser Therapy), uses a more powerful laser and has a choice of wavelengths, which can work faster as a result of deep tissue penetration.
Chiropractic treatments can be accessed by pain sufferers in Salford and also in nearby places like: Eccles, Charlestown, Lower Broughton, Swinton, Clifton, Pendleton, Irlham, Manchester, Cadishead, Urmston, Sale, Pendlebury, Carrington, Crumpsall, Stretford, Ordsall, Weaste, Prestwich, and in these postcodes M3 5DE, M3 5EP, M3 5HH, M3 6DX, M27 8XU, M3 5NF, M3 6BH, M3 5BL, M3 6AP, M3 5AG.

Osteopathy Salford
Osteopaths and chiropractors both consider that your spine's health has a bearing on your overall wellbeing. Realignment and manipulation of the spine helps to ease pain, increases blood flow, and also assists in maintaining a healthy nervous system.
Osteopathy looks at the body as a whole and therefore, a trained Doctor of Osteopathy in Salford is able to treat a broader range of conditions by focusing on the muscular components, joints and spine of the body. The healing of the entire body is said to be affected by these specific locations, and an osteopath will manipulate and adjust them to stimulate your body's recovery.
Osteopathic treatments have proved highly effective in relieving discomfort and pain from arthritis, sporting injuries and back and neck pain, and at the same time improving bad posture. (Tags: Osteopath Salford, Osteopathic Medicine Salford, Osteopathy Salford).

Veuve Clicquot's latest collaboration is a match made in creativity.
A special limited-edition Yayoi Kusama-designed gift box of La Grande Dame Champagne ($195)
Veuve Clicquot's story is one of boldness, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit," says its president and CEO, Jean-Marc Gallot. "In 1805, Madame Clicquot took the reins of the house after the death of her husband—at a time when women could neither work nor hold a bank account. Over the years, she revolutionized the field," he says. So, when searching for an artist collaborator, it only made sense to call on Yayoi Kusama, known the world over for her trailblazing paintings, sculpture and performance art. "It was essential to partner with an iconic and committed personality, much like the one who made Veuve Clicquot an emblematic Champagne house all those years ago," Gallot continues. "She ultimately was respected and called la grande dame of Champagne."
An extremely rare selection of Kusama sculptures that fit a magnum of La Grande Dame ($36,000)
Now, in homage to Madame Clicquot, La Grande Dame—a prestige cuvée first launched in 1972—is considered one of the world's most excellent Champagnes. At 90% pinot noir, "La Grande Dame 2012's blend is all about the grape, magnified by 10% chardonnay to achieve harmony through strength and delicacy," he adds.
Kusama reimagined a portrait of Madame Clicquot herself.
The partnership with Kusama, in fact, is not new: In 2006, the artist used her iconic polka-dot pattern to "reimagine a traditional painting of Madame Clicquot," Gallot explains. "But in many ways, the shared history goes deeper. Though living different lives in very different places and moments in time, Yayoi Kusama and Madame Clicquot are both remarkably bold women and there are fascinating parallels between their destinies. Kusama's artistic expression is both generous and deeply optimistic. This resonates with Veuve Clicquot, a house that has always sparkled with optimism and a hopeful sense of joie de vivre."

Yesterday there were hearings before the Senate Banking Committee with the chairmen of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on crypto currencies, distributed ledger technology (blockchain), and initial coin offerings.
If you do a quick browse of the subject through the news tab on Google (I used "bitcoin congress" as my search string), the theme you get from reading the headlines is "here come the regulators, Bitcoin is doomed," "regulators to seek more power over Bitcoin," basically several variations of, "they're about to shut it all down."
The two things I've highlighted on this chart may indicate that the Bitcoin market found its bottom. The top circle highlights a candle that resembles a "hammer," and the bottom circle highlights the corresponding spike in trade volume. These two things combined could indicate that a trend reversal is coming, as the combination suggests that bulls are getting back into the action and are gaining strength. Time will tell.


Are you still one of those runners who lands on your heel while wearing thick cushioned heel running shoes? You may want to focus on your strike patterns and gait instead of your shoes. Landing on your heel as opposed to striking with your midfoot not only produces more abnormal forces across your foot, it encourages and unnatural gait which can increase the likelihood of overuse injury.
The rear foot strike position provided the highest total forces across the foot while the pressures displayed in subjects with a non-rearfoot strike pattern (NRFSP) was more similar between each of the metatarsals.

Top 10 Richest Actors in the World, some of whom turned out to be Dark Horses
Richest Actors in the World
10. Sylvester Stallone — $400 million
9. Bill Cosby — $400 million
8. Jack Nicholson — $400 million
7. Tyler Perry — $400 million
6. Mel Gibson — $400 million
5. Johnny Depp — $440 million
4. Tom Hanks — $470 million
3. Tom Cruise — $480 million
2. Shah Rukh Khan — $550 million
1. Jerry Seinfeld — $860 million
Cinema is considered to be one of the main forms of art, and it is also a very profitable business. Some movies confuse us not only by plot or acting but also by the number of zeros in their "budget" and "gross" columns. Of course, we believe that every single person should be paid for their hard work, but some actors make a lot more money than others. And all of them make money out of the movie world.
Viralrag invites you to take a look at the list of the richest actors of today. Of course, all the numbers are estimates. Just the people on the list know the exact numbers.
Most Profitable Movies (as an actor and/or director): Rocky, Rambo, The Expendables, Space Keepers, Judge Dredd.
He's the best boxer in the world, according to film fans, and Arnold Schwarzenegger's all-time rival. Stallone made a fortune as an actor and director. But even here, we can't resist comparing him to Schwarzenegger: the most precious thing Stallone has are his wonderful daughters.
Most Profitable Movies: I Spy, The Cosby Show, Jack, Cosby.
In the 1960s, Cosby became the first black actor to play a role in a drama series. The role of 'I Spy' is possibly his greatest achievement. He built his own production company, which produced TV shows and won him millions of dollars. Cosby has recently been accused of sexual assault by many women, which has, of course, affected his image and financial condition.

Most Profitable Movies: The Shining, Batman, As Good as It Gets, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Bucket List.
With his immense charm and three Oscars, Nicholson is not the richest guy. Maybe it's because he hasn't been to a lot of movies lately. Maybe it's because he's always been a fan of buying works of art. One way or another, very few people know how he lives these days because the star doesn't appear in movies or at parties.
AMFM STUDIOS LLC / CC BY
Most Profitable Movies (as an actor and/or director): Woman's Diary, Crazy Black, Daddy's Little Daughters, For Colored Girls, Why did I get married?
Tyler Perry writes scripts, directs films, and also plays leading roles. His distinctive characteristic is that he's making low-budget movies that almost always make a lot of money. That's how he made millions of dollars and created his own media empire.
Most Profitable Movies (as an actor and/or director): Lethal Weapon, Mad Max, Braveheart, What Women Want, Maverick and Hacksaw Ridge.
One of his first films, Mad Max, was a very profitable one ($100 million at the box office with a budget of $350,000). Gibson's career and earnings have improved since then. The actor enjoys spending money, and he owns an entire island in the Pacific Ocean, which he purchased for $15 million.
Jonas 528 / CC BY-SA
Most Profitable Movies: Pirates of the Caribbean, The Tourist, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Donnie Brasco and Alice in Wonderland.
Depp began his career at the Elm Street Nightmare (1984). After 25 years, Depp's profits for his roles as The Hatter and Jack Sparrow are over $100 million. Johnny Depp's movies have totalled more than $8 billion worldwide.
Dick Thomas Johnson / CC BY-SA
Most Profitable Movies (as an actor and/or director): Forrest Gump, Philadelphia, Saving Private Ryan, Bridge of Spies, Sully and Da Vinci Code.
At the end of the '90s, it took just 5-6 years for Tom Hanks to play not just good roles but some cult ones. He won two consecutive Oscars and began producing his projects.
Eva Rinaldi / CC BY-SA
Most Profitable Movies (as an actor and/or director): Jerry Maguire, Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles, The Last Samurai, Mission: Impossible, Vanilla Sky and Valkyrie.
"Forever Young" Tom Cruise is always the subject of media attention when it comes to money and actors' fees. It is assumed that he raises money not only for himself but also for the Church of Scientology. But haters sometimes forget that often Cruise had to work for so little money.
Bollywood Hungama / CC BY
Most Profitable Movies (as an actor and/or director): Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil To Pagal Hai, Chennai Express, Main Hoon Na, My Name Is Khan and Veer-Zaara.
For a reason, Shah Rukh Khan is called the "King of Bollywood." He began his career as an actor at the beginning of the '90s and has appeared in more than 50 films. However, the film is not the only source of income for the actor: he acts in many advertising and has collaborated with Pepsi and Nokia. Khan has his own production business and a successful cricket team in the Indian Premier League.
David Shankbone / CC BY
Most Profitable Movies: Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, Louie, 30 Rock.
Seinfeld began his career as a stand-up comic in the clubs of New York in the 1970s. He founded Seinfeld in 1989. The show has been running for 9 seasons, and more than 75 million viewers are watching the final. In the last season, the actor earned $1 million for each episode. Seinfeld's other projects are also profitable — he makes many movies and performs on stage.

Sharks Coaching Situation: McLellan And Wilson In A Staredown? Antacid, Please.
Posted on April 15, 2015 by Mark Purdy
The unedited "Director's Cut" version of my column that will appear in Thursday's print editions:
The Sharks continue to amaze. It didn't seem possible for them to extend the upset stomach of their miserable 2014-15 season, which concluded last Saturday in Los Angeles.
Surprise! The upset stomach continues! This time, with even more tension!
At least that's how the tea leaves smelled Wednesday at the team's practice rink. Uncertainty prevailed. Shark players cleaned out lockers and dispersed for the summer after expressing frustration during exit interviews with reporters, who were also frustrated. At minimum, most of us expected to learn the status and future of head coach Todd McLellan. The minimum did not occur.
McLellan, with one season remaining on his contract, had said last weekend that he needed to discuss the situation with his family as well as with Sharks general manager Doug Wilson before knowing if he'd be back. But on Wednesday, McLellan said there was nothing to announce.
"The answers you guys are looking for today, I'm not going to be able to give them to you," McLellan told reporters who naturally asked the question. "I need a little more time. I'm sure the organization needs a little bit more time. So that takes care of that, right off the bat."
McLellan said this, of course, knowing that it actually took care of the question for just a few minutes before it would be raised again, this time with Wilson during his own media availability.
Last year after the Sharks' crushing playoff defeat to the Kings, Wilson met with Bay Area media two days later and announced that McLellan's job was safe. Wednesday, four days after the final game, Wilson declined to do the same thing. I asked what would happen if McLellan emerged from his family confab and said he was raring to lead the Sharks back to the playoffs in 2015-16. Would that mean McLellan returns as coach?
Wilson's response: "Those discussions will take place between Todd and I."
For those keeping score at home, that remark does not qualify as a "yes."
Look, we can all see where this is headed. McLellan has spent his last game behind the Sharks bench. The vibes scream it.
McLellan and Wilson have been doing an awkward trying-to-get-along dance ever since last summer, when the general manager handed McLellan a "tomorrow team" philosophy that made it difficult for him to wrangle his roster into any sort of consistent play. McLellan probably isn't eager for any more wrangling. Wilson probably doesn't want McLellan as his wrangler.
Why, then, hasn't the coaching departure already been settled? I can speculate on several reasons. Here they are:
1.	Wilson prefers to work out a "mutual agreement" parting with McLellan, allowing a photo op of both men smiling and moving on. Yet so far, that hasn't happened. The topic may not have even been put on the table yet. McLellan said Wednesday that he and Wilson have had just "a few hours" worth of discussions since the season ended. McLellan offered no details. He expects the situation to be clarified "well before" he leaves for Prague on April 24 to coach Team Canada in the World Championships. But with the Sharks, you never know.
2.	This contract business can be complicated. McLellan's compensation has never been disclosed. Given other NHL coaching salaries, a safe guess is the $1 million neighborhood. If McLellan resigns, he forfeits that money. If he is fired, the Sharks owe him that amount – although the standard NHL coaching contract calls for a fired coach's former team to recoup his salary if the coach signs with a new team and is paid as much or more than in his old deal. McLellan would probably be a hot candidate for any NHL openings. But there are no guarantees. So why on earth would McLellan resign? But can the Sharks risk terminating him and being on the hook for big bucks? The result may be a negotiated settlement—involving lawyers. That takes time.
3.	If this is truly a stalemate between McLellan and Wilson, the GM may be playing a waiting game. Leverage right now is with McLellan. He can force the Sharks to pay him for either working or not working next season. Also, at the moment, the only NHL head coach vacancies are in Toronto and Buffalo and Edmonton. Lousy teams. Uphill coaching tasks. But what if a NHL job opens up that McLellan covets and could yield a rich multi-year offer for him–say, in Detroit or Philadelphia? Then the leverage would swing to Wilson, who must grant permission for McLellan to interview anywhere else as long as he's under contract to the Sharks.
4.	Wilson possibly needs an official sign-off from Sharks owner Hasso Plattner before cutting the cord with McLellan. And perhaps Plattner has not yet given the thumbs up on the move. Even if the German softward billionaire is a Teutonic ghost to fans of our beloved Los Tiburones , Plattner surely realizes that McLellan is popular with fans — more popular than Wilson, going by the Twitterverse and social media. The owner's involvement in this decision is a wild card.
5.	Wilson said he is still conducting interviews with players about last season, interviews in which McLellan's name will surely arise. Maybe the GM wants to carry some players' opinions to Plattner regarding McLellan? Wednesday, the dressing room definitely had a few sour-stomach moments. Logan Couture blatantly opined that the organization's culture is "not great." Joe Thornton took what sounded like a verbal jab at McLellan when asked if a Sharks coaching change is needed. Thornton's answer: "I have no idea. Todd has to talk to his family. Maybe he should talk to this family, as well, in here. We'll see what happens."
We should have the answer within the next week. Wilson said he doesn't make decisions based on his gut, instead relying on "realities and facts." But the biggest reality is, this upset stomach needs a resolution–from either a strong antacid or a firm decision. The sooner the better.

In this month's issue, Q are offering readers and Foals fans a must-have Foals-designed cover issue with an exclusive flexi disc It's limited to just 2000 copies and won't be available in the shops!
The quartet have established themselves as one of the most powerful British guitar bands of the modern era. In an extensive interview in the new issue, they explain to Niall Doherty how their excellent new album Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1 is the start of the next phase. He tracks them from bowling alley to museum to pub to rehearsals across London in a 10-page feature.
Here's frontman Yannis Philippakis on the exclusive track, I'm Done With The World (Demo): "We've only ever played this song twice. Jimmy sent me the piano part and I went and sang it once in one go into some headphones and that's the demo that's on the flexi disc. Then we put it on the back-burner it wasn't a definite thing we were working on for the record. But then we got to the latter stages of the album and I started to feel like it was going to be important for the record. So I went in and sang it one more time and that was it. So there's only ever been two performances of that song. One is the demo and one is the album version."

As its title implies, the present work aims to present in the simplest form the elements of the Italian language. In preparing it, the author has made no attempt at completeness on the contrary, his efforts have tended to omit whatever seemed to him non-essential and apt to cause confusion in the beginner's mind. The needs of our High School and College classes have guided him throughout his task and, believing that extensive drill should be emphasized in the study of any modern language, he has consistently followed the system of giving few rules and many exercises in each lesson. The grammar is taught inductively. Experience has shown that by placing the rules after the examples, the principles of language are more likely to leave a lasting impression upon the student: they appear to him more concrete, more real.


Sideshows and street racing are becoming a major issue in San Jose. On Sunday night, police called in help to try to get one that involved hundreds under control.
SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- Sideshows and street racing are becoming a major issue in San Jose. On Sunday night, police called in help to try to get one that involved hundreds under control.
We learned Monday morning that an officer was hit by a car during the operation and taken to the hospital with minor injuries. A sergeant told us they're still looking for that driver, who's wanted for assault with a deadly weapon.
San Jose police, along with the CHP, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office and Morgan Hill police, targeted racers and sideshows on Sunday.
"When you're out on public streets doing donuts or excessive speed and so forth you run the risk of losing control of the vehicle and crashing into other vehicles or pedestrians," said San Jose Police Department Lt. Brian Anderson.
Video shows the operation on Hostetter Road near Interstate 680. Police estimate hundreds were involved Sunday night and tracked some of them on to Capitol Expressway.
"With the advent of how well people can communicate with each other, the sideshows pop up all over the Bay Area. And San Jose is just like any other city in the Bay Area," said Anderson.
More sideshows are popping up in San Jose.
Video from last weekend, Oct. 21 and Oct. 22, shows one on Highway 87 at Skyport Drive. Besides the speeding cars, cameras caught people spray painting the center dividers.
Roads were blocked off by the sideshow and traffic stopped. Video shows people walking, putting themselves and their vehicles at risk.
Police ended up tracking some of the racers to Ridder Park Drive and Brokaw Road and detained them.
Over the past two weekends, police say they arrested four people for reckless driving and outstanding warrants; nine citations were issued and nine vehicles impounded.
"It really does create a danger to the public and really should be taken off the streets," Anderson said.
Police say operations like this one that targeted sideshows and street racing will continue in San Jose. And if they need more help, they'll ask neighboring agencies.

Than 65 now; including Baby Elephants brought from various parts, as well as some of the more than 25 babies born, as a result of the captive breeding program.

Day 2: DAMBULLA – SIGIRIYA OR KANDALAMA / SIGIRIYA ROCK / POLONNARUWA / DAMBULLA – SIGIRIYA OR KANDALAMA
After breakfast, drive to climb the Sigiriya Rock Fortress
The spectacular Rock Fortress of Sigiriya, 19 kilometers North East of Dambulla is one of Sri Lanka's major attractions. The Rock was the Fortress of the "King Kasyapa" who murdered his father and stole the throne from his elder brother who was the rightful heir to the throne. Kasyapa built his fortress in this 182-meter high rock to protect himself from his enemies. Sigiriya may have been inhabited through prehistoric times. It was used as a rock-shelter mountain monastery from about the 3rd century BC, with caves prepared and donated by devotees to the Buddhist Sangha. The garden and palace were built by Kasyapa 477 – 495 AD. Following Kasyapa's death it was again a monastery complex up to about the 14th century, after which it was abandoned. The ruins were discovered in 1907 by British Explorer John Still. Today Sigiriya is famous for its 'Mirror Wall', which consists of poems and paragraphs carved by visitors to the rock many years ago and for its magnificent frescoes of shapely be-jewelled maidens, vibrant colours and the water garden similar to the Ajantha frescoes of India. Sigiriya is in fact, the best-preserved city center in Asia from the first millennium and has been named as a UNESCO world heritage site and 08th Wonder of the World.
Later drive to Polonnaruwa and do the City Tour – Polonnaruwa, situated 218 kilometers from Colombo is yet another well planned medieval city defended by enclosed walls, graced by palaces, shrines, monasteries, pavilions, parks, ponds and irrigation lakes which bears witness to a glorious past. A dominant feature of the city, is the vast irrigation lake of 5940 acres aptly named "Parakrama Samudraya" or the sea of Parakrama after its royal builder King Parakramabahu depicted an example of the advanced engineering and construction skills prevailent during the ancient times. This gigantic reservoir was built to collect rain water, which did not permit a drop of water to go waste.
Evening drive back to Hotel
Day 3: DAMBULLA – SIGIRIYA OR KANDALAMA / DAMBULLA / MATALE / KANDY
After breakfast, drive to Kandy
En route visit to Dambulla Rock Cave Temple – Dambulla is a world heritage site in Sri Lanka, located north of Kandy in Matale district. The town of Dambulla is built around a large granite outcrop, concealing an impressive Buddhist cave complex, Raja Maha Vihara, dating from the 1st century BC. It is the largest and best preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka. The murals, covering an area of 2,100 square metres, include depictions of Buddha's temptation by Mara, and Buddha's first sermon. Statues of the Hindu gods Vishnu and Saman are also present, reflecting the arrival of Hinduism in Sri Lanka during the 12th century
Also, visit to a Spice Garden in Matale
After drive to Kandy, rest of the day leisure at the Hotel
Day 4: KANDY / PERADENIYA / KANDY
After breakfast, do the Kandy City Tour
Kandy – (the Sacred City of Kandy) – is a city in the center of Sri Lanka. It lies in the midst of hills of rare vegetal species. The Kandy Valley crosses an area of tropical plantations. The monumental ensemble of Kandy is an example of construction that associates the Royal Palace and the Temple of the Tooth. It was one of a series of temples built in the places where the relic, the actual palladium of the Sinhalese monarchy, was brought following the various relocations of the capital city. The Temple of the Tooth, the palace complex and the holy city of Kandy are associated with the history of the dissemination of one of the most important religions of humanity, Buddhism. The Temple of Kandy is the product of the last peregrination of the relic of the tooth of Lord Buddha and the testimony of a cult which continues to be practiced today. Kandy has now grown out to encompass Peradeniya, home to the Botanical Gardens. Kandy is also particularly famed for the great Kandy Esala Perahara (a Pageant of Elephants and Dancers), which is over ten days in the month of Esala (August) having many attractions to justify.
Evening, witness a Sri Lankan Traditional Cultural Show – This is one of the famous destinations in Kandy, Sri Lanka. It starts in the evening and runs for more than 1 hr. The skills of the traditional musicians of Kandy, their drums and dance are all very much entertaining. There is some 7 kind of dances I think like snake dance and so on and after this there is a fire show (like the one in India). The fire show takes the Europeans by surprise as they wouldn't have seen anything like that in their life time as the artists eat and rub fire on their body. One European ran from his seat
Day 5: KANDY / PERADENIYA / TEA PLANTATION / NUWARA ELIYA
After breakfast, drive to Nuwara Eliya
En route visit to the Peradeniya Botanical Garden – Peradeniya Botanical gardens, the finest of its kind in Asia, the largest of the three botanical gardens in the island, couldn't be better located. In the Mediterranean climate of Kandy, the gateway to the central highlands, the Gardens were bounded on three sides by a loop of river Mahaweli.
Also visit to a Tea Factory and a Tea Plantation
Later drive to Nuwara Eliya and do the City Tour – Also known as the "City of Lights" and "Little England", Nuwara Eliya was the favourite hill station of the British who tried to create Nuwara Eliya into a typical English Village. The old brick Post office, country house like hill club, with its hunting pictures, mounted hunting trophies and fish, and it's strict formal dinner attire; the 18 hole golf course, race course etc., all remind you of 'England'. Blessed a with salubrious climate, breathtaking views of valleys, meadows, mountains and greenery; it's hard to imagine that Nuwara Eliya is only 180 Km from the hot and humid Colombo. The areas around Nuwara Eliya also provide the main output of tea in Sri Lanka. A trip to the highlands of Sri Lanka is never complete without witnessing the age-old traditional tea plucking and sipping a cup of "Ceylon Tea". Visitors to Nuwara Eliya can also taste the freshly plucked strawberries and purchase fresh fruits and vegetables.
Day 6: NUWARA ELIYA / KITULGALA / BENTOTA
After breakfast, drive to Bentota
En route visit to Kitulgala – Kitulgala is a small town in the west of Sri Lanka. It is in the wet zone rain forest, which gets two monsoons each year, and is one of the wettest places in the country. Nevertheless, it comes alive in the first three months of the year, especially in February, the driest month. The Academy Award-winning The "Bridge on the River Kwai" was filmed on the Kelani River near Kitulgala, although nothing remains now except the concrete foundations for the bridge (and, supposedly, the submerged train cars that plunged into the river in the climactic scene). Kitulgala is also a base for white-water rafting, which starts a few kilometres upstream.
Later drive to Bentota and rest of the day leisure at the Hotel
Day 7: BENTOTA / COLOMBO
After breakfast, drive to Colombo
Later do the Colombo City and Shopping Tour – The capital of Sri Lanka is located in the west coast. Guests will be taken on a city tour that includes: Fort, the former British administrative center, Old Parliament Building, a Hindu Temple, and a Dutch Church.

Shopping tour is added, and the guests can shop at ODEL and House of Fashion which is famous for garments, Noritake Porcelain Center.
