The Shamen se constituyó como una banda de música electrónica y experimental y estuvo inicialmente formada en Aberdeen (Escocia) por Colin Angus (nacido el 24 de agosto de 1961), Derek McKenzie (n. 27 de febrero de 1964), Keith McKenzie (n. 30 de agosto de 1961) y Peter Stephenson (n. 1 de marzo de 1962) a mediados de la década de los '80.

Aunque existen rumores que circulan por internet -nunca confirmados de manera oficial- de que su primer nombre fue Candy Cubes, lo cierto es que el grupo publicó su primer sencillo 'Drum the Beat' en vinilo bajo la denominación de Alone Again Or...con un estilo psicodélico de influencia de indie-pop-rock. Con el paso del tiempo, la formación sufrió una auténtica metamorfosis musical pasando a desarrollar el más puro acid house y convirtiéndose en pioneros del rock/dance, para posteriormente convertirse en todo un grupo pop-star con el éxito comercial 'Ebeneezer Goode' y el álbum 'Boss Drum', que cosechó más de un millón de ventas en todo el mundo.

Historia

1980s
The Shamen fue precedido por Alone Again Or, denominación bajo la que Colin Angus y los hermanos McKenzie grabaron sus primeros sencillos inspirados en temas de Love. Tras su cambio de nombre, sus nuevos singles fueron recogidos en radio por John Peel. En junio de 1987, The Shamen publicó su primer álbum 'Drop' con una portada que hacía patente su devoción por la psicodelia de los años '60, influenciados por míticas formaciones como Love, Syd Barrett y los 13th Floor Elevators.

A mediados de 1987, el líder Colin Gilbert Angus experimentó los sonidos house junto a pioneros de este estilo musical como S-Express y M/A/R/R/S y aumentó su conocimiento de las más modernas técnicas de sintetizadores. En septiembre de 1987, The Shamen ya aplica estas técnicas a su propia música, la mezcla de guitarras de rock, tecno y el hip-hop y ritmos de muestra/samplers de radio o voces para crear el prototipo de rock-dance que les iba a resultar tan influyente como a otros grupos como Happy Mondays, Soup Dragon, Jesus Jones o EMF. Sin embargo, el nuevo sonido resultó demasiado radical para el cofundador y vocalista Derek McKenzie, que abandonó la banda a finales de 1987 para estudiar en la universidad; The Shamen pierde inesperadamente un miembro decisivo. La necesaria ayuda llegó de la mano del carismático William Sinnott (23 de diciembre de 1960 - 23 de mayo de 1991), que se unió al grupo en octubre de 1987 como bajista, liberando a Colin Angus de los coros vocales y la guitarra.

'Knature Of A Girl' fue el primer trabajo de The Shamen con la participación de Sinnott, pero no fue hasta el mes de junio de 1988 con 'Jesus Loves Amerika' cuando se pudo atisbar el camino emprendido por el grupo hasta su meta musical final. En esta etapa, Angus y Sinnott se habían introducido de lleno en el movimiento acid house del ambiente de Londres, y su música y los clubes estaban ya ejerciendo una gran influencia musical y personal en ambos. Keith McKenzie y Peter Stephenson no quedaron tan impresionados por estos nuevos acontecimientos y abandonaron el grupo tras ese verano. En enero de 1989 se publica el álbum 'In Gorbachev We Trust', un trabajo que permitió valorar la evolución del grupo para futuras composiciones.

En 1989 Angus y Sinnott se instalaron definitivamente en Londres, lo que les permite empezar de nuevo y meterse de lleno en la emergente escena rave; este iba a ser un año de mucho trabajo. Comenzaron con su ya legendaria gira 'Synergy', una discoteca de experiencias combinadas y con música en vivo de The Shamen junto a otras bandas y DJ's como Mixmaster Morris. El tour iba a durar casi dos años. Durante esta gira al grupo pudo darle tiempo también de lanzar el mini-álbum Phorward, un trabajo que ya ha pasado a la historia de la música británica como emblema 'de culto' del movimiento acid-house.

1990s
Su tercer álbum fue En Tact - publicado en 1990 ya con One Little Indian - y dio cabida a los éxitos 'Move Any Mountain', 'Hyperreal' y 'Make It Mine'. También notable fue la incorporación como artista invitado del rapero y DJ Mr. C (su nombre real es Richard West). La transformación de los escoceses al círculo rave concluyó con éxito.

En mayo de 1991, The Shamen viaja a las Islas Canarias (España) para filmar el vídeo promocional de 'Move Any Mountain'. El 23 de mayo, Sinnott se ahogó accidentalmente frente a la costa de la isla de La Gomera. Colin Angus dijo más tarde: "En un primer momento, yo todavía estaba sumido en el shock de su trágico e inesperado fallecimiento y no podía pensar en The Shamen en absoluto, no tenía la menor idea de cómo podría continuar sin él. Pero pensé en su recuerdo y que lo que a él más le hubiera gustado sería que la positividad de The Shamen continuara y que como en toda positividad a veces son necesarios e inevitables algunos cambios. Por lo tanto, por estas razones me animé a continuar y conservé el nombre de la banda porque también sabía que The Shamen realmente significó mucho para Will, y que fue una de las principales atracciones para él cuando valoró unirse al grupo."

Con Mr.C -ahora ya miembro de pleno derecho de The Shamen- y la colaboración de Jhelisa Anderson como vocalista invitada, el álbum 'Boss Drum' pronto vería la luz en 1992. En 'Boss Drum' participó en el corte 'Re: Evolution' el chamánico y mítico filósofo estadounidense Terence McKenna y el lp alojó el que se convertiría a la postre en el mayor y más controvertido éxito de The Shamen: 'Ebeneezer Goode'. 'Ebeneezer Goode' fue acusado en su momento de promover el consumo de drogas debido a al estribillo "Ezer Goode, Ezer Goode" - jugando con que los "E's son buenos" ( "E" define en el argot dance a la droga éxtasis), y a las referencias de doble sentido sobre drogas a lo largo de toda la canción; tanto CGA como Mr.C han tratado a lo largo de estos años de desmitificar esa conclusión, promovida principalmente por la prensa sensacionalista británica. Lo cierto es que hubo 'ecos' con referencias similares en anteriores canciones como 'Synergy' ( "MDM A-mazing... estamos juntos en éxtasis" ). A pesar de todo - o tal vez beneficiada de la tormenta publicitaria - la canción permaneció en el Número 1 de los top musicales de toda Europa durante 4 semanas.

A pesar de que el sencillo fue un éxito comercial, se consideró una 'música basura' y un impacto grave para la credibilidad 'underground' del grupo. El propio Terence Mckenna criticó duramente el giro musical y populista que estaba adquiriendo The Shamen y advirtiendo de una posible 'degradación' del espíritu propio de la banda desde sus comienzos. Pese a ciertos varapalos de la crítica, los sencillos 'Boss Drum' y 'Phorever People' fueron sobresalientes éxitos de popularidad y fueron elegidos para la votación del 'Best New Act', de BBC Radio 1 por parte de los oyentes en el 'Smash Hits Poll Winners Party' en 1992, pero algunos aficionados a largo plazo creen que son insignificantes musicalmente en comparación con anteriores trabajos de The Shamen.

Sin embargo, la reciente popularidad permitió a The Shamen liberar un número excepcionalmente grande de remezclas individuales, EP y LP sobre 'Boss Drum' en aquel tiempo, entre ellos 'The Face EP' (producido íntegramente por Mark Macguire), 'The SOS EP', y los LP 'On Air' y 'Different Drum'. 'On Air' ofrecía un recopilatorio de las canciones más conocidas de The Shamen - desde 'En Tact' hasta 'Boss Drum' - grabadas upplugged / en directo por la BBC Radio; 'Different Drum' fue un álbum remix con versiones alternativas de cada pista del lp 'Boss Drum'. Las canciones 'Boss Drum', 'LSI - Love Sex Intelligence', 'Phorever People', 'Ebeneezer Goode', 'Comin On' y "Re: Evolution" tuvieron sus propias publicaciones individuales.

'Axis Mutatis' en 1995, con la nueva vocalista Victoria Wilson-James sustituyendo Jhelisa Anderson, no dio mucho de que hablar. Algunas ediciones especiales de este álbum incluyeron un excelente bonus-cd, 'Arbor Bona Arbor Mala', un raro álbum ambient producido en su mayor parte por CGA. No obstante, 'Axis Mutatis' supuso en principio la vuelta al techno 'de culto' por parte de la banda - en contra de la voluntad de su discográfica - y un punto interesante de inflexión sobre la creatividad musical de Colin y Richard; singles promocionales como 'MK2A' - dedicado al movimiento secesionista de Hawái - son hoy en día muy valorados por coleccionistas del grupo y se paga un alto precio por sus limitadas ediciones en vinilo. Finalmente, es en esta época cuando el enigmático CGA decide ausentarse de toda aparición pública promocional, lo que ocasionará importantes distensiones entre los miembros del grupo como con los años reconocerá en alguna entrevista Mr.C.

The Shamen continuó grabando en la década de 1990, publicando otros dos LP con una influencia más profunda en tonos experimentales. Su penúltimo álbum de estudio, el instrumental 'Hempton Manor', constituyó un amargo desencuentro con su sello One Little Indian. Colin Angus afirma que se escribió en únicamente siete días para dar por finiquitado el contrato de grabación de temas originales que les unía con OLI desde 1989, y uniendo la primera letra de cada pista se descubren las palabras "Fuck Birket", en referencia al nombre del fundador de OLI Derek Birket, que quería que el grupo regresara en sus nuevas composiciones al territorio comercial con un amplio directorio. De este trabajo, podemos destacar el corte 'Indica' - que fue canción oficial de la Eurocopa de Fútbol '96 celebrada en Inglaterra - y también es digno de señalar que el disco fue presentado en primicia 'online' a través de internet en un concierto retransmitido en directo desde la discoteca 'The End' convirtiéndose de este modo el grupo en pionero en la utilización de la red como transmisor multimedia.

Para dar por finiquitada su relación con One Little Indian, The Shamen produjo un lp de remezclas con lo mejor de su carrera musical 'Remix Collection' y un 'contenedor' con los sencillos de su etapa con OLI 'Collection', en su mayoría los producidos por The Beatmasters para las radiofórmulas comerciales.

'UV', en las navidades de 1998, fue su último álbum. Publicado bajo el sello independiente propio de la banda (Moksha) marcó la vuelta a la producción de un techno clásico de The Shamen. Para Colin Angus, el disco supuso " una oportunidad de despedirnos de la escena musical con el aplauso del público" y realmente así fue, según la opinión de la gran mayoría de incondicionales de la banda. Leyendas amerindias, ecologismo, legalización de las drogas, chamanismo.... 'UV' (Ultimate Voyage) es un delicioso trabajo y denota una gran intensidad de agradar con cada una de sus notas al oyente. No obstante, Colin Angus insistía en dar por finiquitada la proyección comercial de la banda y esto condujo a un auténtico esperpento por momentos, como la aparición sin su presencia de The Shamen en el 'Melinda Night Show' presentando el sencillo 'Universal'. Tras finiquitar este periodo musical, sólo Mr.C se ha referido en diversas entrevistas a las circunstancias de la desaparición del grupo y el talento como compositor de Colin Angus. Por su parte, éste realizó una entrevista en exclusiva en julio de 2008 hablando sobre The Shamen para el blog en español 'The Uranian Sunlight' es las que dejaba claro su poca disposición a reactivar el grupo: " Reagrupar es no reformarse, es más bien un acto de reincidencia continua puro. Además, a mi edad se debe tener mejor criterio antes que andar por ahí de chiste con un hombre casado. " (refiriéndose evidentemente al otro miembro, Mr.C).

Actualidad

Tras la disolución del grupo, Mr.C ha continuado con su trabajo como DJ y productor musical, convirtiéndose en un exitoso propietario de clubes nocturnos, el principal de ellos el londinense The End, que también tenía como pequeño copropietario a Colin Angus. Desde 2007, Richard West está también registrado como miembro del grupo Sycophant Slags junto a Francis Harris -alias Adultnapper- y refugiados en su propio sello discográfico, Superfreq Records. A finales del 2009, The End fue vendida y supuso el punto final de los negocios en común de Mr.C y Colin en Londres. Tras la venta de The End, Richard se traslada a Los Ángeles (EE. UU.) para iniciar su formación como actor e intentar comenzar en una nueva faceta artística, sin abandonar su composición musical propia como Mr.C, su presencia - en menor cantidad- como DJ en las mejores Party's mundiales y su exitosa participación con Sycophant Slags.

Por otra parte, Colin Angus padeció una grave enfermedad que estuvo a punto de costarle la vida, aunque afortunadamente salió airoso de la misma durante el transcurso del año 2002. Una nueva perspectiva de la vida le abrió de nuevo el apetito de componer y se reencontró de nuevo con el productor londinense Mattcatt, al que conoció durante los albores de la escena acid en los principios de los años '90. Colin y Matt estuvieron trabajando juntos entre el año 2004 hasta finales del 2008 en un proyecto musical - con referencias notables a la época 'Phorward' - que se llamó Pablo Sandoz y en su momento publicaron en su página oficial en internet una muestra de su creatividad en forma de cuatro canciones: 'Pyramid', 'Menara', 'Imaginatrix' y 'Fleet'; además, Pablo Sandoz ha colaborado en la producción musical de la BSO del film británico ' Cognition Factor ' y con el dj sudafricano Indidginus con 'Gene Swarm'. Lamentablemente, en marzo del 2009 Mattcatt anuncia el abandono de Colin del proyecto Pablo Sandoz por motivos estrictamente personales. Paralelamente en el tiempo y tras la venta de The End - cobrando CGA unos buenos dividendos como copropietario- Colin traslada su residencia habitual a Brighton. Esta circunstancia no ha sido obstáculo para que Colin Angus haya colaborado posteriormente con otros músicos: a finales del 2009 puso su voz al nuevo trabajo del grupo electro-pop alemán Conscience, concretamente en el tema 'Falling'; en el año 2010, volvió a colaborar y producir con Michael Martin (Indidginus) en Londres, como guitarrista en el tema 'Lost Coast', canción instrumental que ha publicado Indidginus en julio del 2011, incluida en el álbum titulado 'Sofa Surfer', un trabajo a que ha obtenido un enorme éxito por parte de la crítica especializada.

......Biggie in a film about his life. Saw it on Mtv Base news...http://www.mtv.co.uk/channel/mtvuk/news/30..._to_play_biggieDidnt know this guy could act, but who else is there to play him?
As i clicked the link i wa thinking "dont say Biggie, dont say Biggie"Ah well... we'll see innit.
thought u was gonna say"cast as the fat boy who cant sing for sh*t without autotune"
exactly what i thought for a long time.he jacked his voice and looks *kinda* and hes definatly got the size.man comes like a duplicate.
I was actually looking forward to watching this film. In the sky is the limit video he would have been like 5/6 years old, i swear the youts in that video were older?
He is black? I have only heard that one cliched song of his over and over on my sisters phone. I assumed his accent was fake.
how about they get a proper actor.
Guerrilla Black should obviously play him. Man's like a remake.It's a pisstake really. Man catted his whole style and flow, and chatted absolute sh*t. I can't remember what song he did with what RnB singer but I remember he said some seriously random crap.
Shoulda been him, he got the lazy eye aswell.Shyne should do the voice tho.
Nah like I said before;If Bill Duke, the detective in Menace II Society (most famous for his line ''you know you f*cked up, right?!''), was still young, he coulda been best, but mans prolly aged like a dinosaur now.

«Moaning Lisa» () — шоста серія першого сезону мультсеріалу «Сімпсони», прем'єра якої відбулась 11 лютого 1990 року у США на телеканалі «FOX».

Сюжет

Ліса прокидається вранці подавленою. У школі, на уроці музики, вона відмовляється грати американську патріотичну пісню, за що вчитель виганяє її з уроку. На фізкультурі Ліса відмовляється грати з усіма в командну гру. Директор Скіннер змушений написати листа батькам Ліси. Гомер і Мардж намагаються розвеселити Лісу, але вона не може відволіктися від сумних думок про всі біди на світі та власне майбутнє.

Тим часом Барт і Гомер грають в відеогру «Super Slugfest», що імітує справжній боксерський поєдинок. Гомер не може перемогти Барта і поволі скаженіє.

Раптом, вночі Ліса чує, як музика лине з її вікна. Вона йде за музикою через все місто і зустрічає саксофоніста Мерфі «Криваві Ясна», який грає блюз. Джазмен навчає Лісу виражати свої почуття через музику і запрошує до клубу «Джазова діра» ().

Тим часом Гомеру сниться, що він — персонаж відеогри і б'ється з власним сином, а Мардж у страшному сні згадує про своє не зовсім щасливе дитинство. Мардж помічає зникнення Ліси і кидається на її пошуки. Знайшовши доньку на міському мості, вона відвозить її додому.

Наступного дня Мардж відводить Лісу на репетицію і радить їй, спираючись на власне виховання, завжди посміхатись, як би вона себе не почувала. Однак, коли Мардж бачить, як нещиро виглядають емоції Ліси, вона радить дочці бути справжньою. Опісля цих слів Ліса перестає журитися.

Тим часом, щоб перемогти Барта у грі, Гомер знаходить місцевого майстра боксерських відеоігор та бере в нього кілька уроків, як безпереможно грати у бокс.

Вдома, Гомер майже перемагає Барта, але Мардж висмикує живлення телевізора з розетки. Пізніше, вся сім'я слухає музичний номер, написаний Лісою, у виконанні Мерфі «Криваві Ясна».

Виробництво
«Moaning Lisa» — перша серія «Сімпсонів», повністю зосереджена на Лісі.

Автор ідеї, Джеймс Брукс, хотів зробити серію в якій Ліса з незрозумілих причин сумна. В той же час сценаристи відчували, що зробивши декілька гумористичних серій, хотіли зробити щось «миле й емоційне».

Образ містера Ларго (вчителя музики Ліси) частково списаний із вчителя музики Метта Ґрюйнінґа. Мерфі «Криваві Ясна» є відсиланням до відомого блюзмена Сліпого Лемона Джеферсона.

Також у цій серії вперше з'явилась Жаклін Був'є (в спогадах Мардж про дитинство).

Прем'єрний показ цієї серії у США подивилося 27,4 млн. глядачів. Серія отримала гарні відгуки від телекритиків.

Цікаві факти і культурні відсилання
 Назва серії співзвучна з назвою відомої картини Леонардо да Вінчі «Мона Ліза».
 Зубна паста Ліси називається «Glum» ().
 Боксерська відеогра «Super Slugfest», в яку грають Гомер з Бартом, схожа на реальну гру «Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!». Під час боїв грає мелодія з гри «Тетріс». Джойстики відеоприставки Барта, як у приставки Atari 2600, але графіка, як у новішої приставки.
 Суддя у відеогрі намальований Метом Ґрюйнінгом в стилі його коміксів «Life in Hell» ().
 На уроці музики діти співають американську патріотичну пісню «America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee)», мелодія якої основана на гімні Великої Британії «Боже, бережи королеву».
 Пісня, яку виконує Ліса в епізоді з'явилася на збірнику саундтреків «The Simpsons Sing the Blues» ().
 Ліса знаходить Мерфі «Криваві Ясна» на тому ж мосту, з якого хотів кинутись Гомер у серії «Homer's Odyssey».
 Назва клубу «The Jazz Hole»  співзвучна з нецензурним виразом «asshole» .
 Коли Мардж згадує своє дитинство, то можемо побачити її молоду матір з синім волоссям, а саму Мардж ще школяркою, хоча одяг і намисто у неї такі ж, як і в дорослої.

Image via WikipediaLet us say you are a researcher and are doing a gene expression study on some tissue. Today, the chances are that you will run some microarrays and look at the expression profile and then try and correlate the expression profiles of a number of samples with associated data.
Fast forward a few years. I am convinced that a lot of such data will be available via search engines or data portals. Already you are beginning to see a number of commercial and public engines come to life (NextBio, Oncomine, etc). Earlier this week I read an announcement (sub reqd) by the NCI to create a Cancer Molecular Analysis Portal, which will integrate data sets from the Cancer Genome Atlas project and other cancer genomics studies.
The key here is that we already have a body of work using microarrays and other molecular profiling systems, and in many cases, people are just repeating experiments which someone, somewhere has already carried out. Unless there is something inherently proprietary in those studies (e.g specific dose-response studies), there is no reason to repeat that experiment, especially for technologies that are relatively stable and don't have too much cross-platform/cross-lab variation (one of the goals of the MAQC projects has been to understand these variations). The second key, and to an extent perhaps even more important, is how these data are made available. Personally, I really like the NextBio interface. Will the business model work? I am not sure, but definitely the idea and concept make a lot of sense.
There is a lot of work being repeated over and over again because access to the data is not easily available. This is one of the big changes that will take place over the next few years, as the same principles that make PubMed or GenBank so useful start permeating all databases.

Prince Edward Island aims to drive rural population growth
Mark Ramon November 7, 2017 /Comments closed
The Government of Prince Edward Island has approved 12 immigration business agents that will assist immigrants who want to move to the Island.
A key part of the province's Population Action Plan is to showcase the opportunities and benefits of rural Prince Edward Island when recruiting new residents. The 12 immigration agents will help identify potential newcomers and explore living and business opportunities for them.
"We will partner with what we're calling 'endorsing communities' – which are jurisdictions outside of Charlottetown, Cornwall and Stratford – that can endorse an immigrant applying to come to the Island and improve the likelihood of a successful application," PEI's Economic Development and Tourism Minister Heath MacDonald said. "As a small province, one of our advantages is that our population is interconnected and we look out for each other. We are confident that these immigration agents, together with our endorsing communities, will help make our new Islanders feel welcome in the rural areas of our province."
The province's Workforce and Advanced Learning Minister Sonny Gallant, believes that the initiative will help promote regional areas of PEI to potential immigrants.
"A significant portion of our most critical labour gaps exist in rural Prince Edward Island, so putting a sharp focus on the opportunities in rural communities will attract new immigrants to live and work outside of our major centres," he said. "Effectively promoting rural PEI as a place to do business is an important step in government's action plan to continue the province's population growth."

Families are ecstatic when their parents are well cared for, as is the case with luxury retirement homes like Scarlett Heights and Amica at Newmarket.
"Here" is Scarlett Heights Retirement Residence. Dodie, a long-time volunteer with the Toronto Garden Club, moved here after being involved in a serious car accident—not her fault—in which her neck was broken and some ribs were crushed. Her four children insisted she should no longer live alone, and she agreed to the move after learning that she could bring her two cats, Chanel and Giorgio, with her to Scarlett Heights. The cats love sitting by the open windows of her fifth floor apartment taking the air—"They are in pussycat heaven"—while Dodie revels in the great sunsets. As a gardener she also loves the grounds with their extensive flowerbeds—and her informed planting suggestions were welcomed. She also receives regular physiotherapy at the residence as well as exercising in the resistance pool. And she has, she says, made some friends she will be happy to have for the rest of her life.
Like a number of Amica residents, Edith, who is chair of the residents' council, moved here from another retirement residence. "This is more … elegant," she says, looking for the right word. Besides, her son, who she visits at weekends, lives only five minutes away.


Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 12:30 p.m.
As part of Kenneth Goldsmith's "Poet Laureate" program, he and other renowned writers will appear in the galleries for guerrilla readings in front of works of art. They will read from a variety of sources, ranging from their own poetry and prose and the work of modern writers to obscure food writing, mathematical calculations, and old stories from the New York Sun.
On April 24 John Zorn will celebrate his 60th birthday at MoMA with live musical performances popping up in galleries across the museum. Performers include Chris Otto and Dave Fulmer, Erike Friedlander, John Zorn and Milford Graves, and Carl Emanuel and Kenny Wollesen.

With Oracle's Expansion, Some Renters Lose, Others May Gain
KUT 90.5 | By Audrey McGlinchy
Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon/KUT
Some are criticizing the decision to demolish an affordable housing apartment complex along Lady Bird Lake to make room for Oracle's lakefront campus, prompting a discussion of tenants' rights in an ever-expanding Austin.
Demolition, it seems, follows Robin Wilkins.
Wilkins, 54, moved into the Lakeview Apartments on South Lakeshore Boulevard after another apartment building she was living in was slated to be torn down. She stayed for five years, paying no more than $720 a month for a two-bedroom apartment. Nonetheless, throughout that stay she knew the fate of the building: oblivion.
"Everybody knew that," said Wilkins. "Nobody was blindsided by that. We all knew it was going to be demolished." But what no one knew, according to lawyers representing roughly 30 former Lakeview tenants, was when.
Wilkins renewed her lease for six months at the beginning of June. Two weeks later, she said, she was told she would have to be out by the end of September. In an email, Steve Clark from Cypress Real Estate Advisors – which manages the partnership that owns the property – disputed these claims. "The leases provided that the tenant agree to vacate on 30 days' notice if we decided to demolish – even so, the property manager allowed tenants to stay through the end of their lease," he wrote.
According to city documents, an application for demolition was submitted on Sept. 23. The city approved it two weeks later.
"I had three months," Wilkins said. "I'm like, 'Wow, three months. My lease says I have until the end of December.'"
The land where once the affordable housing complex sat (it's now demolished) will become part of technology company Oracle's new campus. Oracle declined to comment for this article. According to the company's press release, the move will allow it to increase the number of employees by more than 50 percent. Plus, Oracle says it plans to buy nearby affordable housing for its employees.
Mayor Steve Adler said he welcomes the expansion. "It will increase jobs in this city. It fits with the kind of business expansions we want, the kind of businesses we want to have in the city," he said. "It fits with Austin's brand as a tech place. And all those things are good."
But, he said, the tale of a flourishing economy uprooting lower-income Austin residents is not new – and the city is nowhere near the postscript.
"What happened out on this area, on the Riverside area, is the poster child for where Austin is. There are good things about it, with a company moving in and expanding and the kind of company we want and creating jobs on the east side of town," said Adler. "But there are challenges that come with that. This is a bittersweet incident."
For Wilkins, it's just bitter. By the end of September, she said she was packed and ready to leave – where she was headed, though, was still unclear. "Wherever I was gonna go, whether it was put everything in storage and live out of the car, I was ready to do that," she said. "But I got lucky – I got into this place, and here we are today."

After renewing her lease in June, Robin Wilkins, 54, says she was given three months to move out of her apartment complex, which was demolished to make way for Oracle's new campus.
Wilkins was able to move her family into a new apartment, and for that she says she is grateful. But her monthly rent today is $1,151 – over $400 more than she paid per month at Lakeview. Plus, she was never refunded her $50 deposit – a common complaint among tenants, said Brian McGiverin, attorney at Dietz, Lawrence and McGiverin. The firm is considering filing a lawsuit against Cypress Real Estate Advisors, as is Texas RioGrande Legal Aid.
But the property manager, speaking through Cypress Real Estate Advisors by email, said that Wilkins did not get her deposit because she failed to leave a forwarding address. Wilkins confirmed this, but said she was told that no tenants would be receiving their deposits – and so therefore did not try. The property manager denied this. He said only 17 tenants did not receive their deposits because they left no forwarding address or the address the money was sent to was returned.
"The question I would ask is, does it really make sense that a landlord would hang on to a $50 deposit?" wrote Clark, with Cypress Real Estate Advisors, by email.*
City Council has taken steps to protect residents forced out of low-income housing at the hands of the city's rapid growth. In November, Council members approved a resolution asking city staff to devise an ordinance including certain protections for tenants of buildings set to be demolished. It would require that tenants be given at least six months' notice of the deadline for moving out, that a relocation stipend be provided for those who qualify and that housing management allow for flexible move-out dates.
"What happened at Lakeview absolutely ignited the conversation about having a tenants' rights and tenants' relocation ordinance in Austin," said Council Member Greg Casar, a co-sponsor of the measure. Casar also said he was surprised to learn about the city's demolition application requirements, which do not demand disclosure of whether a building to be demolished is occupied.
"I think that the proposal before the City Council to help tenants with relocation expenses is a step in the right direction because it is very expensive to be displaced," said McGiverin, adding, "Is it a complete solution? No, because it does nothing to prevent the dislocation itself. It does nothing to begin to rectify or even to limit the economic segregation which we have in the city of Austin."
Adler said he and city staff are working on several ways to ensure that some current affordable housing will stay in place. "There are 80,000 affordable housing units in the city, and 40,000 of those are on transportation corridors, and if we don't figure out a way to preserve that housing stock over the next 10 years, we're going to lose those homes," he said.
While Adler is staying hush on his ideas for how to achieve this preservation, Council Member Pio Renteria offered one suggestion: the creation of a fund into which private investors could essentially bankroll the city's quest to buy up current affordable housing units. The city would act as landlord, ensuring that the properties remain affordable while providing investors with some monetary return.
Although what's left of Wilkins' Lakeview apartment is nothing but towed-away rubble, there is some hope that Oracle's presence could bring some people in Wilkins' financial situation back to the neighborhood.
Oracle's new campus happens to be one of the city's newly designated homestead preservation districts. Should the city approve tax increment financing for the district, as it did with an earlier one, a portion of property taxes paid by Oracle would go directly into building affordable housing in the same area.

You may be surprised to learn that there are more than three million cases of facial trauma admitted each year to hospitals in the United States. And just like a neurosurgeon is called upon to treat trauma to the brain, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon is called upon to manage and treat facial trauma cases. In fact, the American College of Surgeons mandates that all Level I trauma centers in the United States have oral and maxillofacial surgeons on staff to treat traumatic facial injuries.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons undergo intensive and unique training that allows them to address a range of surgical problems. Oral surgeons are required to complete four or more years of comprehensive surgical training and medical education in addition to their dental school training, which qualifies them as experts in correcting the functionality of the jaw, restoring the aesthetics of facial proportions, and replacing damaged or missing teeth.
Each facial trauma case is unique because there are several different ways that the face and mouth can be affected by trauma situations.
Numerous events can contribute to facial trauma injuries, including automobile accidents, work-related injuries, falls, sports injuries, physical assaults, and accidents in the home. The kind of injury incurred will determine the treatment that is necessary to correct the problem. Minor injuries, such as knocked-out teeth or facial lacerations, may only require the placement of dental implants or stitches, while serious incidents may involve a more complex approach and require the use of more than one treatment.
It is important to treat cases of facial trauma promptly to avoid the long-term problems that may arise if left untreated. Failure to treat facial trauma can result in pain, infection, dysfunction of the eyes and/or nose, misalignment of the jaw and bite, resorption of the facial bones, the development of disorders in the temporomandibular joint of the jaw, and even facial discomfort and disfigurement. If you have suffered a facial injury of any sort, we encourage you to contact our office immediately.
Dr. Matthew Poore is on staff at the local hospital and is on-call to deliver emergency room coverage for any facial injuries that may occur. At Monroe Oral Maxillofacial & Implant Surgery, we are compassionate about helping to restore oral and maxillofacial function and aesthetics to every patient who has been in a trauma situation.
Where can I get facial trauma surgery in Monroe County, PA?
At Monroe Oral Maxillofacial & Implant Surgery, we offer a wide variety of oral and facial surgery services, including the surgical treatment of facial trauma injuries. Dr. Matthew Poore and his highly skilled team serve all of Monroe County, including East Stroudsburg, Stroudsburg, Marshalls Creek, Tannersville, Bartonsville, Bangor, Bushkill, Brodheadsville, Tobyhanna, Sciota, Saylorsburg, Nazareth, Swiftwater, Mt.

"This was our 1st annual performance. Our 3 kids were all in Friday's performance and I didn't want it to end! Next year, we are getting tickets for BOTH nights! What absolutely AMAZING performances!! We loved every minute!! Congrats to all the wonderful teachers and all the great students!!"
We thought the annual performance was amazing. Innovative, interesting choreography. Creative costuming and very professional overall. Really impressed!
I want to thank you and your wonderful staff. My daughter truly loves to dance. I am so happy that she is a part of Dance Revelation.
I feel like I have not done enough for all you have done for my daughter. It means the world to me she is able to keep dancing! You all inspire me so much!
This is directed to the staff and entire organization of Dance Revelation. My wife and I have commented many times that the values you instill in these young women and girls is a generous gift to them.
Not only did we find, in Dance Revelation, exactly what we hoped for...we found much more!
My daughter went on a ballet/tap audition this weekend. She even knew the names of the steps that they were talking about and last year she couldn't even get past the tap auditions. The director even approached asked about her dance studio. We wanted you to know how much her dance instruction is really making a huge difference.
The instructor last night in my daughter's class did a job well done. She worked those girls. They definitely got a work out.
I never got a chance to send an email to you guys to tell you how thankful we are for everything this year. From the amazing competition and dance pieces that my daughter gets to do. I have seen some great things since we started dancing here, but this year has been the best.
Amazing how all her teachers made her feel so special this week. No studio has ever even cared. We have never been to such a warm studio that truly makes my daughter smile so much (she begs me to arrive so early just to see her friends before class). The teachers really care and it is so much more than dance.
The attention to detail and a high quality performance is not achieved without a lot of hard work throughout the year. Thanks for all you do!

The FDA has approved only one CBD-based medication, also it's used to deal with two rare kinds of epilepsy: Lennox-Gastaut syndrome along with Dravet syndrome. It generally comes on suddenly and often subsides after its cause is identified and handled. It's known as Epidiolex, also it's accepted for adults and children over age two. Persistent pain is the distress related to a chronic illness and it can persist over an extended time period and is frequently resistant to a lot of medical treatments. Researchers are working to see whether it may help with arthritis, and a few individuals with HIV say it will help alleviate nerve pain (also known as hepatitis ). Persistent pain can result in considerable difficulties and seriously impact somebody 's wellbeing.
There's some signs that it might assist muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis, also. More study is required to know for certain. Psychogenic pain is a result of a psychological disturbance which leads to depression or anxiety.
In ordinary circumstances, CBD doesn't appear to influence this 1 way or another. But researchers are analyzing whether it may help to keep your blood pressure secure once you're stressed. Neuropathic pain is attributed to changes in the nervous system which sustain a painful feeling even after a injury is treated.
Early studies indicate that CBD might assist with this, particularly if it's associated with diabetes, MS, diabetes, or Alzheimer's. Pain is usually treated with many different drugs, which might consist of acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti inflammatory agents, and opioids. But scientists are still attempting to demonstrate that and work out how it functions. Opioids, such as morphine, are good at treating pain but often have side effects such as nausea, constipation, and vomiting, and may be addictive. In research done on laboratory mice, CBD oil demonstrated promise in murdering breast cancer cells and manufacturing chemotherapy medication work better.
But researchers have considerably more work to do to determine if CBD will help individuals in that manner. THC and CBD can aid in the management of pain since they occupied both major cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) of this endocannabinoid system in the body. There's proof that CBD may be a remedy for acne. It appears to help with the inflammation which could cause migraines and the sum of fatty acids from the bloodstream, which may make them worse. Studies also have shown that using cannabis to the management of pain is secure. Additionally, it cbd oil for pain can protect skin cells from harm.
Following a year of normal use, patients with chronic pain have been found to be in no increased risk of serious negative outcomes than non-cannabis consumers (Ware, et al., 2015). 1 study demonstrated it helped alleviate the signs of psychosis in people with schizophrenia, however more study is required to understand exactly how well it may work. Regardless of the very clear pain relief advantages which medical cannabis can provide, mainstream healthcare providers are still reluctant to prescribe medical marijuana to their own patients.
Remember the THC, which can be found in several of CBD goods, may have the contrary impact, and merchandise tags aren't necessarily true.

In our last blog we talked about the various causes and effects of dental anxiety. People are afraid of the dentist for a number of reasons, but when they let their fear keep them from the dentist, then they are setting themselves up for even more serious dental problems, as well as general health problems.
At the office of Ronald L. Proctor, DDS, we will help you overcome your dental fears with sedation dentistry. Here in Carrollton, you have a few options for dental sedation, ranging from mild sedation, to being put completely under.
With sedation dentistry, you no longer have to be afraid. Whether you experience only mild anxiety when you visit the dentist, or if you are paralyzed with fear at the thought of even the most simple procedure, like a cleaning or examination, the office of Ronald L. Proctor, DDS has a sedation solution for you.
One side effect to dental work you may not have considered is tension. Even if you do not consider yourself to be afraid of the dentist, you may still experience tension while undergoing a procedure, whether you realize it or not. If you find yourself with a dull headache that last even into the next day, or with muscle soreness, or just general exhaustion after dental, these symptoms could be the result of tension.
If you are contracting your neck and shoulder muscles muscles while lying back in a dental chair, or grasping the arm rest with a clenched fist, then this could cause you pain later. It can be hard to relax while having your teeth worked on, that is why we offer dental sedation.
There are different levels of sedation for different levels of anxiety. Before you start your procedure, we will discuss your needs and your medical history to decide which form of sedation is right for you.
Inhaled Sedation – Nitrous Oxide, or as you likely know it, "laughing gas", is a very low level of dental sedation. You will inhale the gas, mixed with oxygen, throughout your procedure, so we can adjust your level of sedation based on your level of anxiety as we work on your teeth.
Many describe the effects of nitrous oxide as a euphoric intoxication. You will be awake and aware, but you will be relaxed. This will make the procedure less stressful for you, as well as relieve any tension you may have.
The effects of nitrous oxide are almost instantaneous, but they wear off just as quickly once you stop inhaling the gas. This make inhaled sedation the only type of sedation in which you can drive yourself home.
Oral Sedation – For mild to moderate dental anxiety, we have oral sedation. This form of sedation is taken as a prescription sedative pill that you will take an hour or two before your appointment.. This will not knock you out, but it will put you in a state of relaxation so deep, you will not be able to drive, so you must arrange a ride to and from your house.
Like nitrous oxide, with oral sedation you will remain conscious, but you will likely be less alert. In fact, it is not uncommon for patients to have no recollection the procedure after the sedative wears off.
IV Sedation – For those with a very deep and intense fear of dentistry, there is IV sedation. Very few dentist offices in the US even offer IV sedation, but the office of Ronald L. Proctor, DDS is one of them. IV sedation will put you completely under, you will not be alert, you will not even be conscious.
Not only will IV sedation allow you to overcome your fears of dental work, and help you to lie still for a few hours, it will also allow us to perform multiple procedures that would typically be spread out over several visits. This saves you time and money!
There is no reason to keep letting fear and worry dictate the health of your teeth. At our Carrollton office, we will use advanced sedation techniques to keep you comfortable during your dental work. You will be able to walk around with a smile you are proud of.
If you're not sure what level of sedation is right for you, come on in for an examination, and we will discuss your sedation options.

The invisible child soldiers
In DR Congo, 30 to 40 percent of the child soldiers are girls. They experience more sexual abuse and stigmatization and they receive less help than the boy soldiers. In spite of this, the girls get far less attention from the international community.

A 12-year-old girl soldier is dispatched to a marketplace to spy. In the evening she must return to the armed camp she came from. Her assignment is to report on the conversations she overhears to the men who have kidnapped her. The ones who murdered her family. If she does not return, the soldiers will kill her girlfriends in the camp.

This is how historian and senior researcher Kåre Lode describes the situation of a Congolese girl soldier. Lode is the driving force behind a unique Norwegian-African research project on child soldiers at the Centre for Intercultural Communication (SIK). Usually child soldiers are depicted as small boys who carry big guns by researchers, the media and humanitarian organizations. Now for once the spotlight is on the girl soldiers, an alarmingly large group that is rarely discussed.
Kidnapped on the way to school
Social scientist Milfrid Tonheim heads up the research project at SIK. She interviewed 17 Congolese girls who had been child soldiers, and says that most are "recruited" to armed groups by being kidnapped.
"Many children are abducted along rural roads. Girls who live in areas where armed groups operate in the surrounding forests are especially vulnerable. The soldiers take the girls when they are on their way to the market, school or church. Or children are often taken when an armed group attacks a village and plunders it for objects, food and people. Both children and adults are used to carry the war spoils back to the armed camp. At the same time, they are a part of the war spoils. Some of them are shot when they arrive at the camp. Others are trained to be soldiers," she explains.
Sex slaves and living shields
There is a perception among many local armed groups in DR Congo that children are purer and have more contact with the supernatural than adults. Because of this view, both girls and boys are preferred as bodyguards. They must defend and protect the commanders, and serve in practice as living shields. Child soldiers are also typically used as messengers, carriers, cooks and spies. To a certain extent, the assignments are gender specific. For instance, more boys than girls are used in armed conflict, and more girls than boys are used as sex slaves.
"The girls are often forced to be sexually available for all the men in the armed group. They are held captive and raped by both individuals and groups. The brutality of the assaults varies somewhat from group to group. Sometimes a few of the girls are selected to be a commander's 'wife'; then she often becomes one of several 'wives'. It can be a strategic advantage for a girl to belong to one person in this way instead of being fair game. But when the so-called 'husband' is out on a raid, and especially if he is just a foot soldier, then anybody can rape her," says Tonheim.
Escaping the camp
The children in the armed camp are the victims of a number of abuses that are supposed to prevent them from fleeing. For example, the girls Tonheim interviewed have been shot at or threatened with murder. Several of them saw escapees being tortured, sometimes to death. In spite of this, almost all of the informants escaped from the camp where they were held by running away.
"They show an amazing amount of courage and initiative! When there is suddenly chaos in the camp for one reason or another, like an armed fight, then the girls see their chance to escape. Or they have been in the camp so long that the guard becomes more relaxed than before. One day they are asked to fetch water and wood without the guard accompanying them, and then they run away," explains the researcher.
No happy homecoming
Child soldiers who survive an escape and return home often find that their close relatives are fearful and angry towards them. One of the girls Tonheim spoke with described it like this:
"They said they didn't know me any longer. [They said:] 'What you have experienced there… A woman being with the Interahamwe doesn't only live with one man but has several men…' They said that if I came back to live with my family I could pass on this bad behaviour to other children in the family."
"In the West we can easily think that this is a barbaric reaction on the part of the families. By the same token, it's important to remember that this is a society which has lived with poverty, violence and armed conflict for many decades. It gets into people's blood," says Tonheim, and gives some insight into the prejudices of the local population about previous child soldiers:
"In general, they are seen as criminal, violent and disease ridden. There is a belief that if they have killed once, they will probably do it again, so people are afraid of them. Some are afraid that the girl soldiers are still a part of the armed group and have come to operate as spies. Others are afraid that the girls will attract soldiers who come to avenge the escape."
The children of child soldiers
Compared with boy soldiers, girl soldiers often have to live with an additional challenge because many become pregnant by their rapists. It's not unusual that the girls have a child in their womb or on their back when they escape from the armed camp, and this doesn't go unnoticed when they return home.
"Even though the girls were taken by force, they are not given the status of victim by the local population. Many believe that they actually wanted to be together with the soldiers who kidnapped them. They are seen as accomplices in the rapes they were a victim of. Pregnancy and the baby are thus visible proof that the girls have behaved counter to the female ideal," says Tonheim, who emphasizes that the girls and their children live under extreme conditions.

"The mothers I spoke with were worried that their children would eventually rebel against them and the community. They are at the bottom rung of the ladder and are openly insulted," says the researcher.
Worst stigma for girls
The research project clearly shows that even though child soldiers of both genders are stigmatized, the girls are hit the hardest in terms of both expression and intensity. Tonheim attributes this finding to the traditional gender roles in Congolese society.
"Girls who are soldiers have crossed the gender divide. They are afraid to return to their families because they understand their own culture and know how they will be judged. They have taken part in war, an arena that traditionally belongs to men. They have been in an environment where they have both dressed and behaved in a way that is perceived as masculine," says Tonheim, who describes the traditional view of girls in this way:
"A Congolese girl is brought up to be a good wife above all else. She is married away at a relatively young age, and she is not supposed to have sexual relations with men other than her husband. By virtue of marriage, she becomes part of the new family who pays a dowry to her parents. When previous girl soldiers return home, they're often at an age when they should be married or are close to it. Instead they are seen as damaged goods. Their value as women is reduced considerably because they are not virgins, and the dowry declines correspondingly. If suitors come along who don't know about their past, the rumours will soon scare them away. The girls end up as financial burdens on their families, and they are largely viewed as precisely this."
Neglected and forgotten
In spite of their difficult situation, very few girls receive help.
"In DR Congo it's the men who are responsible for peace negotiations, demobilization and reintegration. The authorities are comprised of men at practically all levels, and it is mostly men who conduct research and have access to the media. This male dominance is one reason why the girl soldiers have been neglected," says Tonheim, who believes that the treatment of girl soldiers is an abuse that the entire international community is responsible for. The research project has shown that the lack of attention has enormous ramifications for the girls who survive.
"Currently, boys who are demobilized receive a document releasing them from legal responsibility for all the criminal actions they committed when they were child soldiers. This is a crucial part of reintegration because the document paves the way for education, work and a chance to start anew. The problem for girls in the same situation is that they are not considered to be soldiers because of their gender. As a result, they don't get the papers and help they need to move on with their lives," explains Lode.
Want to support themselves
Some programmes for reintegrating previous child soldiers have been developed, but Tonheim is critical of their content.
"In most of the programmes, a successful reintegration for a girl is synonymous with getting married. The girls in the target group have experienced one terrible abuse after another at the hands of men. In this case, it is totally wrong to present them with a plan which assumes that as long as they get a husband, everything will be alright," she says.
During the interviews it became apparent that the girls were most concerned with becoming financially independent.
"They want help to learn a trade so they can provide for themselves and their children because they understand that independence is the key to a better life. They want to contribute to society in order to counteract all of the prejudices and to become attractive as women again by showing that they have their lives in order. Most of them could imagine getting married eventually, but not at any price, and not to just anybody. With an income in place they have a real opportunity to support themselves if their marriage ends in divorce, and this freedom is important to them," says Tonheim, who was deeply touched by the girls' courage.
"They have had a horrendous experience! First by being kidnapped and abused over and over again. Then by being rejected, excluded and harassed. On top of this, they are considered to be unworthy of receiving help. In spite of this, they don't give up. Instead they work intensely to create a new future for themselves and their children. These girls have my greatest respect," she concludes.

WINDHOEK, 09 JUL (NAMPA) - A Namibian worker at a construction site run by Chinese nationals at the Mixed informal settlement near the capital was slightly injured when his employer bumped him with a pick-up vehicle on Tuesday.
This followed a disagreement over wages.
The incident started when workers constructing a warehouse at this informal settlement, situated about five kilometres outside Windhoek, requested their site manager for a salary hike, upon which the manager became angry and turned violent towards his employees.
The site manager, whose name is being withheld until he appears in court, ordered about 18 workers to get onto a pick-up vehicle, and started spinning the vehicle wildly at a high speed.
One of the workers jumped off, and the driver reversed into the direction of the worker in an attempt to chase him and bumped him, causing a leg injury.
The workers immediately called their union, the Namibia Building Workers? Union (NABWU) for assistance, and union officials rushed to the scene and called the Namibian Police Force.
The suspect was arrested, and a case of assault has been opened.
Speaking to Nampa at the scene, NABWU?s national organiser David Simeon Nenkete said the workers were only expressing their dissatisfaction with unfair labour practices committed by their employer.
Workers also asked for protective clothing.
According to Nenkete, his union immediately engaged into negotiations with the employers when they arrived, and an agreement was signed in the end.
The company is expected to comply and implement the content of the agreement within a week without delay, unless a proper explanation is given.
?We came to conclude that all labourers must be paid according to the minimum wage which they are entitled to, plus a double payment if they have to work on a Sunday,? stressed Nenkete.
The employers were also ordered to pay back all monies which were deducted from the workers? salaries unnecessarily.
?We also reached an agreement that none of the employees involved in today?s incident will be dismissed or threatened,? he noted.
Nenkete further urged all employers in Namibia to respect their workers, adding that his union will not 'leave any stone unturned' in combating illegal labour practices.
?Our union will not tolerate such incidences of employers taking the law into their own hands, and no employer is allowed to cause any harm to his employees,? he cautioned.
The union and employers agreed that work will commence on Wednesday morning.


You can never go wrong with choosing a classic treat, and this french cookie is one of them. Now bite size, it's not hard to see why these Chocolate Mini Cookies gradually replaced the traditional pain et chocolat ("bread and chocolate") as the snack of choice among French schoolchildren for their quatre heure ("4 o'clock snack"), taken at the afternoon break in their long school day. This snack is not just for kids, adults enjoy them as well. So what does BN stand for? Biscuiterie Nantaise. Indeed, Nantes has been a capital of the French cookie industry, ever since cookie-making became the mainstay of the city's economy in the 19th century.

Unrivaled Brands, Inc. Announces Successful Sale of Interest in Joint Venture with NuLeaf
OTCMKTS: UNRV
Unrivaled Brands, Inc. (OTCQX:UNRV) ("Unrivaled" or the "Company"), a multi-state vertically integrated company focused on the cannabis sector with operations in California and Oregon, today announced the sale of its 50 percent interest in its Nevada NuLeaf Sparks Cultivation LLC and NuLeaf Reno Production LLC (collectively "NuLeaf") joint venture.
The Company will receive $6.5 million in cash upon close of the transaction, which is dependent on regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. The revenue change as a result of the sale was anticipated and factored into the Company's $130 million guidance for next year. Further, the Company did not receive any cash flows from the joint venture, so it is expected that the sale will have no negative impact on Unrivaled Brands and allow the Company to reallocate the proceeds from the sale to its stated goals to focus on the California and Oregon markets.
Frank Knuettel, Chief Executive Officer of Unrivaled Brands stated, "We were presented with the opportunity to acquire the remaining stake in the joint venture. In alignment with the strategic initiatives that we outlined earlier this year and reiterated as recently as last week during our third quarter earnings call, we determined that it would be beneficial to allocate more capital to our expansion in California and Oregon as opposed to having one operating asset in Nevada. This is an important step forward as we increase operational efficiencies and focus our attention on working to position the company as the pre-eminent west coast cannabis operator."
About Unrivaled Brands
Unrivaled Brands is a multi-state vertically integrated company focused on the cannabis sector with operations in California and Oregon. In California, Unrivaled Brands operates four dispensaries, a state-wide distribution network, and two cultivation facilities, and has one additional cultivation facilities and five dispensaries under development. In Oregon, we operate a state-wide distribution network. Among other brands, Unrivaled Brands is home to Korova, the market leader in high potency products across multiple product categories, currently available in California, Oregon, Arizona, and Oklahoma, as well as Sticks and Cabana.
