Phd. Author of The Spiritual Universe.
"The soul is a virtual process and not an entity"
"Many, ranging from modern scientists to perhaps the Buddha, introduce great confusion into the search by not differentiating between spirit, soul, and self. Based on my research, the spirit appears to be virtual vibrations of vacuum energy, the soul turns out to be reflections of those virtual vibrations in time, and the self is an illusion arising from reflections of the soul in matter, appearing as the bodily senses as suggested by the Buddha. Hence the three are related but essentially different."


The new HygroFlex5-EX series is a two-channel transmitter for the measurement of humidity and temperature in explosive atmospheres.
The HF5-EX series has an aluminium transmitter with an optional display. Probes are certified for operation in Zone 0/20. The transmitter itself is certified for Zone 1/21. The electrical isolation permits the measuring system to be operated without an intrinsically safe power supply.
Process optimisation is key to reducing operational costs. A short study can produce astounding cost reductions.


Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's daughter Isha Ambani recently got engaged with her longtime boyfriend and Industrialist Anand Piramal at Lake Como, Italy in September this year.
So many celebrities including Bollywood divas like Sonam Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra graced the 3-days long ceremony which happened in a beautiful location. Now, the Ambani family is busy looking after the wedding arrangements. The duo lovebirds are going to tie the knot on December 12th 2018 at the residence of the Ambani's in the presence of all the family members and close friends. The wedding is going to take place as per the Indian traditions and culture.
On this note, Ambani recently visited the Siddhi Vinayak Temple in Mumbai yesterday and offered the first wedding invitation to Lord Ganapati. Also, before the wedding, Ambani & Piramal Families are planning to host a grand party to their family members and friends in Udaipur.


Don't be discouraged if what you produce initially is something other people dismiss as a toy. In fact, that's a good sign. That's probably why everyone else has been overlooking the idea. The first microcomputers were dismissed as toys. And the first planes, and the first cars. At this point, when someone comes to us with something that users like but that we could envision forum trolls dismissing as a toy, it makes us especially likely to invest.

Israel is a 1st world country. But that classification system is outdated.
In 1947, Israel's low population but high level of education meant its citizens could train and organize a national army fairly quickly. Manpower limitations also meant the Israeli Army tended to gravitate towards technologically advanced, high firepower forces, and become more proficient at them than its neighbors.
Adults may acquire Israeli citizenship by naturalization at the discretion of the Minister of the Interior and subject to a number of requirements, such as: they must have resided in Israel for three years out of the five years preceding the day of submission of the application.
Israel was ranked 19th on the 2016 UN Human Development Index, indicating "very high" development. It is considered a high-income country by the World Bank. Israel also has a very high life expectancy at birth.

Real estate prices are high, especially in the larger cities such as Tel Aviv but food, clothes and groceries are fairly reasonable. The cost of living in Israel is gradually on the rise due to a result of a fall in the value of the Israel shekel against other major currencies such as the US Dollar.

Tax rates in Israel are among the highest in the world, with income, value-added, customs and excise, land, and luxury taxes being the main sources of revenue. The government has gradually raised the proportion of indirect taxes since the late 1950s.
The country's major economic sectors are high-technology and industrial manufacturing; the Israeli diamond industry is one of the world's centers for diamond cutting and polishing, amounting to 23.2% of all exports.
Israel's GDP per capita stands at $39,125 (nominal; 2017) and $36,378 (PPP; 2017). India's GDP stands at $1,850 (nominal; 2017) and $7,153 (PPP; 2017). 2) Global Innovative Index (2017): While Israel ranked 17 on the Global Innovation Index (2017) rankings, India stood at 60.
In 2000, the Israeli air force received its first operational Arrow missile battery, making Israel the first country in the world with an operational system that could shoot down incoming enemy missiles. … Israel is the only country in the world that has used missile defense systems in times of war.
This is why Israel is a very old nation, even though the modern country of Israel is very young. … Another reason why this alluring country is so rich is the diamond market of Tel Aviv and massive gas fields in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, which generate billions of dollars each year.

Folding bike specialist Tern Bicycles debuted a key upgrade to its range at the Taipei Cycle Show, while sister company BioLogic showed off its latest Bike Mount Plus for Apple's iPhone 5. Though these bits don't attract as much attention as carbon fiber racing gear or the latest in aerodynamics, there's still a lot of clever thinking at play.
Tern's slick Physis "handlepost" already featured a well-engineered tapered shape and secure locking hinge that lent a surprising amount of rigidity to the front end of its folding bikes while staying reasonably lightweight. New for MY2014, however, is the Physis 3D, which integrates the mast and hinged base into a one-piece forging.
Tern claims the new design is stronger and yields a cleaner aesthetic. The Physis 3D will be integrated as a rolling change on all models previously fitted with the original version.
Tern's sister company, BioLogic, unveiled two new cases for the iPhone 5.
The Bike Mount Plus features a weatherproof, hard-shelled plastic design with o-ring seals, a touch-compatible transparent membrane, and quick-release clamps to securely lock your phone inside. The mount can be used on both stems and handlebars, the case can be rotated for portrait or landscape viewing, and flip-down ports allow access to headphone and charge ports when needed.
BioLogic has also fitted the Bike Mount Plus with a silicone rubber liner to absorb impact and a handy 'kickstand' on the back for use on a tabletop when you're not riding. Suggested retail price is US$55/€55.
BioLogic also showed a new aluminum Hard Case for the iPhone 5 for US$125/€125. Unfortunately the associated bike mount isn't due until late fall but, as with the Bike Mount Plus, all of the phone's buttons, ports, and cameras are fully accessible and there's a silicone rubber liner to absorb shock.
BioLogic says its aluminum Hard Case is certified to IP68 weatherproofing standards, meaning it's sealed from dust and submersible up to 15m (50ft) – good features if you regularly ride in nasty conditions. The plastic Bike Mount Plus can't quite match that level but BioLogic says it's still certified to IPX4, so it's "not waterproof, but good against drizzle, mud, and sweat," said Tern/Biologic consumer marketing man Eric Mah.

The inaugural Columbia University Global Scholars Program Summer Research Workshop was organized by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, in collaboration with the Columbia Global Centers and the Office of Global Programs. Professor Guobin Yang, a sociologist of China, and Professor Robert Barnett, a political scientist and historian of Tibet led eleven undergraduates through a six-week in-country research study and workshop through Beijing, Shanghai, and Mumbai on the theme of Environment and Urbanization in Asia. This immersive program provided students the opportunity to learn about field research methodologies in a comparative, cross-cultural environment.
Scholars meet with the organization Save Bombay Committee during a visit to a group of villages near Karjat in Maharashtra.
Students visited non-profit organizations, government agencies, schools, and historical and environmental sites while taking part in a series of lectures featuring leading professionals in the field. Upon return, students will take a capstone seminar based on their summer research experience and will conduct in-depth, comparative analysis of Asian environmental conditions. This unique model of scholarship provides undergraduate students the opportunity to gain firsthand research experience, in collaboration with Columbia faculty, in subjects of transnational importance from a comparative perspective across several locations.
The Beijing and Shanghai segment will be taught by Guobin Yang, Associate Professor in the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Cultures and the Department of Sociology at Barnard College, Columbia University. The Mumbai segment will be taught jointly by Robert Barnett, Director of Modern Tibetan Studies at Columbia, and Jai Kasturi, an advanced doctoral student, who is an anthropologist focusing on critical South Asian studies. Dr Barnett has worked in anti-poverty and education projects in slums in Bombay and Jai Kasturi comes from Southern India and has extensive experience in the area.

Editorial: How should Greek Life move forward?
Photo by Haley France | The Daily Tar Heel
UNC's Pi Lambda Phi on West Cameron Avenue photographed March 2, 2019.
By Editorial Board
February 23, 2021 | 9:03pm EST
The Editorial Board has outlined the many problems plaguing Greek organizations at UNC and across the nation: classism, racism and sexual assault are among the most severe of these issues.
At the same time, fraternities and sororities have been around since universities themselves were founded. It seems impossible to uproot the complex systems that make up UNC's Greek system.
When we seek to reform Greek life, we must look at the good, the bad and the ugly. Reconciling the social benefits with the undeniable harm is necessary to bring change to the Greek system.
To start, the roots of Greek life are difficult to untangle from our universities. Fraternities were originally created as secret societies that were disapproved of by university administrations. Over time, this relationship became more symbiotic. Colleges rely on Greek alumni for donations, which gives the administration little incentive to reign in fraternities and sororities, whose powers go largely unchecked.
Greek life also saves colleges money. One in eight American students at four-year institutions lives in Greek housing, an alternative to on-campus dorms. Greek houses across the country are estimated to be worth $3 billion — a housing expense that could have fallen on the shoulders of universities.
Additionally, fraternities and sororities are often situated as centers of social engagement on campus. Universities may boast to incoming students about the tremendous opportunities within the Greek system. Thus, Greek culture becomes campus culture, boosting the University's legacy and reputation.
The decentralized structure of fraternity and sorority governance also makes it difficult for members to be held accountable. The University has little jurisdiction over the constitutions or bylaws that dictate member behavior. Furthermore, because many Greek houses are privately owned, campus police have limited access to what happens behind closed doors.
There are also significant social costs to pushing Greek life off college campuses. In many ways, fraternities and sororities are no different than other clubs on campus — they provide networking and leadership opportunities for members and take on philanthropic causes to support.
Condemning the Greek life system without examining the ways in which sororities can serve as safe spaces for their members of marginalized groups (such as LGBTQ, members of religious minorities or members of racial and ethnic minorities) can be problematic. Despite being primarily white and straight organizations, members of marginalized communities involved in Greek life may find solace and safety with others in their Greek organization who share their same identity. Multiple Greek organizations affiliated with the National Pan-Hellenic Council and Multicultural Greek Council have roots in serving marginalized members.
UNC itself is home to eight historically African American Greek organizations. These groups can be places for marginalized students to benefit from the support and community of Greek life, despite being within a predominantly white Greek system and University.
It is worth mentioning that members of Greek life are increasingly calling to dismantle the system themselves. Duke University's Zeta Tau Alpha and Alpha Delta Pi both moved to disband their chapters this past year, and although the motion wasn't passed, the effort was notable. As members of Greek life recognize fundamental pitfalls between its impact and claimed ideology, sorority and fraternity members are battling with the same questions non-members are: what is the true impact of Greek life? Ultimately, Greek life members' efforts to abolish or reform their chapters expose that many aren't blind to the issues facing their organizations.
The same Greek communities from which problems arise are equipped with the tools to dismantle them.
Many Greek organizations claim to be changing their policies, language and practices to be more inclusive. However, change needs to be concrete and sustainable on a national level for all Panhellenic and Interfraternity council organizations to be effective. This change cannot be done without genuine work from sorority and fraternity members themselves.
As it stands now, Greek life is at a crossroads: to disband, reform or stay the same. It is very unlikely that the system will be disbanded due to its historical and economic influence on our schools. But if genuine reform isn't pursued and implemented by Greek members, as well as their national counterparts, Greek organizations cannot truly be the promoters of "growth", "intellect" and "sister/brotherhood," as they claim. Fundamental alteration of the Greek system is not only necessary for members and non-members — it's necessary for the organizations themselves to maintain their claimed values.
There is undeniable potential for good from organizations that espouse community and philanthropy. However, it is up to the members of those organizations, and the universities that house them, to fulfill that potential. Otherwise, as we've seen both historically and alarmingly recently, the consequences can be undeniably destructive.

Kyle Busch to start from pole in today's Xfinity race, 3 JGR cars in top five
By Jerry BonkowskiJul 16, 2016, 12:36 PM EDT
Kyle Busch earned his 53rd career NASCAR Xfinity Series pole Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Busch (130.792 mph/29.121 seconds) edged Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Erik Jones (130.738 mph/29.133) for the top spot.
They'll make up the front row for this afternoon's AutoLotto 200 at the 1.058-mile flat track in Loudon, N.H.
"We've got a good piece," Busch, who will go for his 82nd career win in the series, told NBCSN. "I just have to do my job now and not mess it up. This is a real challenging place. It's hard to figure out. It's very flat and not forgiving."
Brad Keselowski qualified third (129.834 mph/29.336 seconds), followed by another JGR driver, Daniel Suarez (129.349/29.446) and Alex Bowman (129.309/29.455).
Here's how qualifying played out:

Life at Sofico
Sofico Table Talks #3 - Working abroad
03/09/2021 In People
Was it hard to move to Belgium from an administrative point of view?
No, it was pretty straightforward and Sofico helped a lot as well. Providing me with a temporary place to stay so I could move, giving me time to look around for a nice place I would like to stay. That part was quite easy, they also took care of the administrative part, the national health service, …. But since I was part of the EU it was just as if I moved cities within Portugal. Quite straightforward. As long as you're a bit flexible you can easily adapt, and people will accept you.
Sometimes when I'm speaking Dutch my girlfriend will look at me like: "what are you even saying"?
Watch the short version of the Sofico Table Talks #3
How was it for you, your son being born in Belgium? Did you have any issues with a language barrier when you had to go to the hospital?
'You learn to not be afraid of sounding foolish. Sometimes when I'm speaking Dutch my girlfriend will look at me like what are you even saying?'
'But if you don't dare to try and talk, you will never improve and never talk to people. You just have to say what you can, and people do understand you, they even try and help you. If you want to communicate, you always find a way.'
Miguel: 'Especially if you don't have family or friends nearby that can help you out. It was just my partner and me, it makes everything just a little bit more difficult.'
Sander: 'I can relate to that, coming back to Belgium, things are way easier since we can count on a lot of people to help us out. Mexico was the complete opposite.'
'I can't compare having a baby yet but soon I will know the difference between the countries in that aspect as well. One huge difference is from a medical perspective, going to the hospital, that's when you see how good we have it in Belgium with all our insurances and the national health service.'

Having an online presence these days has never been more important. If you are thinking about designing a new business Web site or improving an existing one, make sure how to make the website more effective and successful.
The first step in the development of a website is to set your exact objectives and goals for that website, to help you develop a more successful site in the long run. However, before setting goals, you need to make sure that the goals are realistic and achievable.
When visitors arrive at your home page, they want to know who are you and what do you do. Your home page should clearly identify your business and describe the products and/or services you offer. Be concise. You only have a few moments to grab the attention of your visitor to get your message across.
The next thing your visitors want to know is why they should buy from you instead of your competition. Explain your competitive advantage(s), describe the advantages you offer that wins customers and brings them back to buy again.
Use your corporate logo and colors on your site, they are an important part of your brand identity and they relate your site to your other marketing materials. Use a consistent layout for your website pages; Put your logo and navigation elements at the same location on every page. This lets your visitors focus on the content of your site.
I've seen many beautiful sites that just didn't fit the target audience. A 'over-pimped' site with pinky colors may look great for a girl's fashion-blog, although your client may love the look, it just does not feel right for a solicitor with a professional, corporate clientele?!
Your client can give you good insight on their particular audience, who they target and what customers they reach the most. One of the most important goals for successful website development is knowing who the audience really is.
Do your research and see what other similar companies are doing. You don't have to do the same thing, but the feel your site gives to its users should be similar. Try to get all the essential information on how to make your online business succeed.
A great user-interface and a simple (though visually nice) design, both are equally important and should go hand in hand. A good website navigation system is essentual for a successful and accessible website design. An ideal web navigation pathway should be well structured, easy to use and intuitive.
Being consistent in your navigation is key here — place both your primary and sub-navigational links in the same spot throughout the various pages of your web site. A good navigation is key for a successful site, make sure your main navigation is placed above the page-fold.
Writing a sitemap beforehand helps to determine where pages should go and what items should be placed together. Many sites often have too large of a navigation because they didn't plan where information would fit best. Converge the navigation, determine what's important and throw away the rest.
Keep It Simple and Stupid: Avoid any confusion at all times, a confusing website navigation will drive visitors (read: potential buyers) away. Use scripting and graphics sparingly and intentionally. Visitors don't return to a corporate website because of the pretty images; they return for the content.
Search engine optimization means designing your site in such a way you'll rank higher on search engine search results, to do so you will need to implement search engine optimization concepts into the design of your website. Search engine placement is a long term process and requires commitment to build unique content (text that people want to read) and quality links to your site. Your success should be the acquisition of new potential leads or customers through the website.
Clients know their company better than you; listen to them outline the structure of the organization, its history and strategic direction. Take their advice on their industry, listen to what they say about their products or services. As a webdesigner you know how to organize the information in the most practical manner while keeping the characteristics of web users in mind.
When designing a webshop, don't make visitors search for a way to buy from you. The site should present the opportunity to order right up front, and the rest of the site should reinforce the desire to buy from you. People like to buy from someone they know, so tell them about yourself. Communicate your personality and expertience.
It is vital that you know what kind of website you are going to make; Is your website for informational purposes only, or will it be an online retail store? Or will it simply be a marketing tool to help you thrust your business to new heights of success? These are important questions to ask yourself and specific goals to set before you can develop a successful website.
The points mentioned above are general goals for website design. If you think I forgot a important goal, please feel free to write a comment.
Thank you for your comment, .. I haven't heard about the marketing book?
.. exactly, my dear friend! That's why the navigation must be simple (and stupid), everybody should know what to do when seeing the navigation!
Thanks for making a valid remark, Cheers & Ciao ..
Post in your blog about your projects or the progress, if you want some comments or feedback? Or post your projects on social networks like Flickr, Facebook, Behance, Forrst or Dribbble. It's just a thought?
Thanks for your comment, much appreciated!
I do agree with you that SEO is important to focus on, but .. try NOT to write your content for the robots/spiders from the search engines!
Keep your content personal and write for humans not robots!
You also should think, before you design a site, how you want to maintain/update the website (more services/products or projects), .. true, so true! To think about the practical aspects of your site on the long run, is also very smart, cause a website is never completed in 1 time!
User feedback is essentual when you are designing a blogging site, not that essentual (I think) when designing an online portfolio?

Q: Condition for line intersection in $\mathbb{R}^3$ While reading through some questions I came across someone stating the following:

Defining two lines in space, $\mathbb{R}^3$, as:

$l_1: \textbf{a}_1+\lambda_1\textbf{b}_1$

$l_2: \textbf{a}_2+\lambda_2\textbf{b}_2$
The line to line intersection condition is:
$\textbf{b}_1\cdot ((\textbf{a}_2-\textbf{a}_1)\times\textbf{b}_2)=0$
which can be rewritten as:
$\textbf{b}_1\cdot (\textbf{a}_2\times\textbf{b}_2)+\textbf{b}_2\cdot (\textbf{a}_1\times\textbf{b}_1)=0$

Why is this condition sufficient?

A: The actual condition is
$ (\mathbf{a_2 } - \mathbf{a_1} ) \cdot (\mathbf{b_2} \times \mathbf{b_1} ) = 0 $
But since for any three vectors $\mathbf{a,b,c}$,
$ \mathbf{a}\cdot (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c} ) = \mathbf{b}\cdot (\mathbf{c} \times \mathbf{a} ) = \mathbf{c}\cdot (\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b} )$
then the above condition can also be written as
$ \mathbf{b_1} \cdot ( (\mathbf{a_2 } - \mathbf{a_1} ) \times \mathbf{b_2}) = 0 $
The last equation in the question can be deduced by expanding the above equation and using the cyclic equality again.

A: Take the direction of the common normal (direction perpendicular to both lines) as
$$ \boldsymbol{n} = \boldsymbol{b}_1 \times \boldsymbol{b}_2 $$
Now project any point along each line on the common normal and it  will result in a constant value
$$ d_1 = (\boldsymbol{a}_1 + \lambda_1 \boldsymbol{b}_1) \cdot \boldsymbol{n} = \boldsymbol{a}_1 \cdot \boldsymbol{n} $$
$$ d_2 =(\boldsymbol{a}_2 + \lambda_2 \boldsymbol{b}_2) \cdot \boldsymbol{n} =\boldsymbol{a}_2 \cdot \boldsymbol{n} $$
if the two lines intersect then these constants are the same $d_1 = d_2$ since they have at least one point in common.
So the condition is
$$  \boldsymbol{a}_1 \cdot \boldsymbol{n}  =  \boldsymbol{a}_2 \cdot \boldsymbol{n} $$
or
$$  \boldsymbol{a}_1 \cdot ( \boldsymbol{b}_1 \times \boldsymbol{b}_2)  =  \boldsymbol{a}_2 \cdot ( \boldsymbol{b}_1 \times \boldsymbol{b}_2) $$
or
$$ (\boldsymbol{a}_1-\boldsymbol{a}_2)  \cdot (\boldsymbol{b}_1 \times \boldsymbol{b}_2) = 0 $$
Now you can rewrite the above in any other form you want as seen by the answer of Quarter Lemon or in the problem statement, using the identities of the vector triple product $a\cdot(b\times c) = b\cdot(c\times a)=c\cdot(a\times b)$.

A: The vector $\mathbf{b}_1 \times \mathbf{b}_2$ is perpendicular to both lines. So, after some scaling, if necessary, you can imagine your two lines in a room, with $l_1$ on the floor, $l_2$ on the ceiling, and a vertical line joining them, in the direction $\mathbf{b}_1 \times \mathbf{b}_2$. The vector $\mathbf{a}_1 - \mathbf{a}_2$ joins two points, one on each line. In order for the lines to intersect, the component of this vector in the vertical direction must be zero (i.e. the ceiling must coincide with the floor). In other words, $\mathbf{a}_1  - \mathbf{a}_2$ must be horizontal, which means it's perpendicular to the vertical direction $\mathbf{b}_1 \times \mathbf{b}_2$. The dot product of any two perpendicular vectors is zero, so $(\mathbf{a}_1 - \mathbf{a}_2) \cdot (\mathbf{b}_1 \times \mathbf{b}_2) = 0$. You can rearrange this equation into either of the ones you cited.

Ingredient distributor Barentz & flavouring supplier TasteStrik in JV
Monday, 17 June, 2019, 16 : 00 PM [IST]
Barentz International, a leading global ingredients distributor, has formed a joint venture with TasteStrik, a successful Dutch family business and a leading developer, producer and supplier of high-quality flavourings and ingredients for the bakery, cereal, chocolate, confectionery, culinary, dairy and specialty foods industries, expanding its activities in the dynamic world of taste in food.
This joint venture will give Barentz a higher diversity of sources to deliver solutions for taste concepts, while offering TasteStrik the knowledge and expertise of Barentz's global network.
TasteStrik has a proven track record in developing, manufacturing and distributing high-quality flavourings and ingredients for the European food market.
The joint venture supports Barentz's strategy of offering the broadest portfolio of quality ingredients in the life sciences industries.
Both companies support their customers in developing new ideas and innovative solutions, thanks to their expertise and network of specialised labs.
Robert Strik, managing director, TasteStrik, is looking forward to joining Barentz. He said, "This is a promising joint venture, where both parties will immediately benefit from each other's strengths."
"For TasteStrik, and for me personally, the customer-centred and entrepreneurial spirit of Barentz are of decisive importance. We are a family business with an extraordinary passion for taste. We see the same attitude at Barentz, along with the shared will to always strive for better solutions," he added.
For Barentz's chief executive officer Hidde van der Wal, TasteStrik's taste expertise is an excellent addition to the Barentz family of food and nutrition solutions.
"This is where we bundle all expertise and skills we have throughout our organization to devise and implement innovative and suitable solutions," he added.
"TasteStrik's sophisticated application lab in Eemnes, the Netherlands, will be a valuable addition to our global network of 15 labs with 50 food engineers," van der Wal said.
The Barentz chief expected rapid cooperation and results. He said, "We do indeed share a similar corporate culture, and Strik will continue to lead TasteStrik as its managing director, thus ensuring continuity."


Focusing on every muscle of the body is the key to getting the perfect muscular look. The muscles on the back cannot be ignored, and here are some lower back exercises with weights that you can incorporate in your exercise regime.
To get a well-balanced and well-developed body, muscles in the back must not be ignored. The upper back and the lower back require a variety of exercises in order to strengthen the muscles there.
The lower back muscles are called the erector spinae, and there are many other muscle groups in the back as well that can be worked on. The erector spinae, or the lower back muscles, are two columns of muscles on either side of the spinal cord.
What Does the Erector Spinae Do?
Since these are the muscles that are on the lower sides of your back, you will feel them when you rotate your torso. These muscles aid in sideways and rotational movement.
These muscles begin somewhere near the hip and run all the way till the skull. Therefore, any injuries sustained by the lower back while performing lower back exercises with dumbbells or lower back exercises with resistance bands, can be quite crippling. Conversely, lower back exercises also help to avoid any injuries to the erector spinae in the future.
You must remember though, using weights that are too heavy can be detrimental and painful. Thus, this should be strictly avoided. The density of weights that you are lifting must be carefully chosen.
The importance of building up back muscles is undoubted. The "V" shape that most people desire can only be completed by toning and developing the back muscles. Performing the following lower back exercises with free weights will help in this regard.
This is one of the best and most effective lower back exercises.
Lie on the hyperextension bench and place your feet on the foot pad.
With weight plates in hand, inhale and slowly lower yourself to the ground keeping back straight.
Remain in this position for a few seconds, and exhale while returning to the original position with back still straight.
You need to use a barbell in order to carry out this exercise properly.
Lower yourself to pick up the barbell, but keep your lower back absolutely straight at all times.
With your palms facing downwards, pick up the barbell and stand upright.
Hold your position for a few seconds and then place the barbell down.
This lower back exercise will be futile if your back is not kept straight. It is possible to use heavier weights for this lower back exercise, but do not use weights that will cause you to bend your back.
The starting stance is very similar to that of deadlifts.
Once you bend down and grab the barbell, you must keep your knees bent and also keep your back bent at a 45 degree angle to the ground.
Now lift the barbell up to your stomach and repeat this action as many times as you like.
Performing each repetition slowly and deliberately will have a greater effect on the development of your lower back muscles.
Every gym that you visit will teach you this exercise mandatorily in order to build your lower back muscles. This exercise also strengthens other muscles in the back, along with the biceps and the forearms.
Kneel on a flat surface, like an exercise bench, and place one knee on the bench and the other foot on the ground.
Support your upper body by placing your hand on the edge of the exercise bench, and grab a dumbbell in the other hand.
Pull the dumbbell towards you and repeat the exercise for the other side.
Along with these, there are plenty of other lower back exercises without weights or with an exercise ball that you can perform as well. Getting a well-developed and well-toned back improves the posture and provides an overall muscular look and shape to the body.


Korean fried chicken is something new to many. This restaurant is a joint partnership between Bruneian and Korean. It's opened for some time already and they did post some advertisements in the newspapers.
They are already featured in Brunei Times but how many of us know where this Yam Yam KFC is located? In the newspapers, they mention Kiarung as their address but finding the place can prove confusing for some. Have no fear – as I will guide you through how to find the place.
This is the crossroads along Jalan Pengiran Babu Raja – if you go straight – you will go to Beribi Shell Station – turn right and you will enter Kiarung – so you should turn right here.
This orange coloured building ~~~ YAY~~ we are here!
KFC is basically crispy fried chicken but tossed in special korean style sauce. It's quite delicious! I especially liked the crispy skin and that saucy feel to my chicken (yet it doesn't make the skin soggy) YUM YUM chicken indeed!
Chap Chae (not sure if I spelled correctly) is a noodle dish – green bean noodles apparently stir fried with vegetables. It felt like thick Tang Hoon but texture wise very interesting.
UPDATE: Yam Yam chicken has since closed down but has been relocated to Batu Bersurat. More news to follow. Stay tuned.

Are dogs allowed on beach at St Leonards?
2022-11-09 By Maria Shackelford Popular guidelines
Can I take my dog to the beach NSW?
Are dogs allowed at Hastings Point?
What is St Leonards beach like?
Are dogs allowed at Pottsville Beach?
Dogs on beaches at St Leonards: On the beach between the sharp bend in Bluff Road and Beach Road, dogs are permitted on-lead. On the beaches within Swan Bay Edwards Point Wildlife Reserve (south of Beach Road), dogs are permitted on-lead.
Are dogs allowed on the beach northern beaches?
Dogs are allowed off-leash in the park, on the beach and in the water all day from Monday to Friday. On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays this is restricted to non-peak hours before 9am and after 4pm.
What beaches allow dogs Hastings?
Broom Hill. Broom Hill.
Camber Sands. Camber Sands.
Hastings. Hastings Beach.
Winchelsea. Winchelsea Beach.
Dogs can hit the beach off their leash all day on weekdays, but times are restricted on weekends and public holidays. On those day, off leash times are before 9am and after 4pm.
Can I take my dog for a walk on the beach?
Most dogs are natural swimmers but some don't like the water much. So if it's your dog's first time at the beach, then slowly introduce it to the sea water. Make it dip its feet in the water first. We are safely assuming that you have a leash on your dog at all times to avoid any accidents.
Is St Leonards a good beach?
St Leonards has been named as one of the best beaches to visit on a day trip in the UK. The Sussex seaside town was rated as the 17th best beach in the country to drive to for a getaway this summer, in a study by car leasing company Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.
All dogs in New South Wales must be on a lead that is being held by (or secured to) a person at all times when in a public place unless in a designated off leash area. Dogs are also prohibited from within 10 metres of a children's playground and areas that are sign posted stating dogs are prohibited.
Are dogs allowed on saltwater beach?
1 April to 30 September Unleashed dogs accompanied by a competent person are permitted on beaches within the Council area between the hours of 5pm and 8am except in the prohibited areas listed above.
Do dogs poop in sand?
Sand is extremely similar to most commercial cat litters, so it makes sense as a filler for your dog potty area. While many dogs prefer sand over other materials, this material often isn't the best option out there.
St. Leonards is a resort beach within the district of Hastings in East Sussex. The beach is predominantly shingle, with shallow sand flats exposed at low water. There is a rocky ledge in the east of the bathing water, which is exposed at low water.
Is St Leonards worth visiting?
Are dogs allowed at Lobster beach?
Head out on this 0.8-km out-and-back trail near Patonga, New South Wales. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 16 min to complete. This trail is great for hiking and walking. You'll need to leave pups at home — dogs aren't allowed on this trail.
Dogs are allowed off leash 200m south of the main swimming area at Pottsville Beach to 200m north of Black Rocks.
Are dogs allowed at Northstar?
Northstar California does not allow dogs. Please choose a different pet friendly hotel in Truckee for your trip. Or, browse all pet friendly hotels in Truckee if you're still looking.

Q: Recommended way to install regular(cli) .deb packages on Ubuntu Phone? tl;dr: I'm looking for a "canonical" or "recommended" way to install (cli) .deb packages on Ubuntu touch
I've been using Ubuntu on my Desktop and Server for a year and I'm very satisfied. Now I bought the first Ubuntu phone, the BQ Aquaris e4.5 Ubuntu Edition. However, I found out that I can't install normal .deb packages or install things using apt-get. How can I "root" my phone so that I can install "normal" .deb packages?
I tried it myself. I know the first thing is to make your filesystem writable. I did the following steps but then I got stuck because of a dpkg error.
# Desktop:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install phablet-tools

# Phone:
Security & Privacy: Lock phone: Lock when idle: Never
About this phone: Developer Mode: Developer Mode ON

# connect phone to PC via USB

# Desktop:
adb devices
# no device detected so I've manually added file
touch /home/username/.android/adb_usb.ini
# with content: 0x2a47
sudo adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server
adb devices # now my phone is on the list

# Phone:
sudo test -w filename && echo "Writable" || echo "Not Writable"
# verified it is writable
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

And this is the place where error starts to block me:
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/powerd_0.16+15.04.20150430-0ubuntu1_armhf.deb (--unpack):
unable to make backup link of `./usr/share/powerd/device_configs/config-default.xml' before installing new version: Invalid cross-device link

So I tried
sudo apt-get install -f

But it got stuck on "Bluetooth main config". I restarted the phone, but it didn't want to turn on anymore. I tried the Recover boot option. That worked.
I tried install -f again, and this time it worked. But after doing upgrade I still had the same error.

A: Warning: this is only an hack to get rid of the cross-device link problem on apt-get upgrade with powerd package. this is not a "UBUNTU" certified solution
Prerequisite: having made R/W the ubuntu installation with:
phablet-config writable-image

Copy the downloaded powerd*.deb file from the phone to a PC from the path:
/var/cache/apt/archives/
On the PC, unpack the .deb file, remove the file /usr/share/powerd/device_configs/config-default.xml (from my tests it results not foundamental):
su - root
mkdir tmp
dpkg-deb -R powerd_0.16+15.04.20150507-0ubuntu1_armhf.deb tmp
rm tmp/usr/share/powerd/device_configs/config-default.xml
mv powerd_0.16+15.04.20150507-0ubuntu1_armhf.deb old.deb
dpkg-deb -b tmp powerd_0.16+15.04.20150507-0ubuntu1_armhf.deb

Everything must be done as root to keep the original permissions of the package files and dirs.
Repack, copy back on the phone, then install with:
sudo dpkg -i powerd_0.16+15.04.20150507-0ubuntu1_armhf.deb

You will still get the error:
"/usr/share/powerd/device_configs/config-default.xml": Device or resource busy
But at the end the package is updated.
Now if you do:  sudo  apt-get upgrade the error disappeared.
My phone BQ Aquaris seems to work well and stable.

A: As has already been pointed out, you have to install an ARM-capable chroot on your device and install all the required packages in that chroot. However, doing so in your home directory wastes a lot of valuable space. Instead, it can be done on your SD-card using a computer running on an appropriate Linux OS (tested on Linux Mint 17 and Ubuntu Trusty). As I did not find any information about this anywhere else, I put it here as an answer to an old question.
The following instructions assume you want to install a debian jessie chroot in the directory jessie.
Creating and populating the image file on a desktop computer
Creating an empty image file
To create an 1GB image called IMAGE.img in the current working directory, do:
dd if=/dev/zero of=IMAGE.img bs=1G count=1
Note that the B in GB is left out. "if" stands for "input file", "of" for
"output file" and "bs" for "block size".
There are more efficient commands out there, but those only work on certain
types of file systems, as far as I know.  This one also works on an SD-card or
a tempfs.  Please note the use of /dev/zero and not /dev/random or /dev/urandom
as that would take a lot longer and make it take a lot longer to transfer the
image between devices later on.
Creating a file system on the image
Without the file system, the phone would not be able to store any data on the
image. Without a file system, you cannot yet mount the image to a directory,
only to a block-device.
This bash-command will output the next empty loop device into the variable LOOP:
$LOOP=$(sudo losetup -f)
Next, assign the image to a block device:
sudo losetup $LOOP IMAGE.img
Next, create the ext4 file system on it:
sudo mkfs -t ext4 $LOOP
Next, detach the image from the loop device:
sudo losetup -d $LOOP
If you get command not found errors, just install the missing programmes.
Mount the image file on the computer to access it
Now, create a temporary directory in the working directory:
mkdir jessie
and mount the image file IMAGE.img to it:
sudo mount -o loop IMAGE.img $(pwd)/jessie
The command pwd will make sure you give mount an absolute path to your
current working directory.
Populating the image with the new operating system with qemu-debootstrap
The next step will be to use qemu-debootstrap to download the necessary files.
This is easy if qemu-debootstrap is available as is the case on Ubuntu and
derived OSes. If you get command not found errors when executing
qemu-debootstrap --help, try to install the appropriate package, which can be
done on Ubuntu via:
sudo apt-get install qemu-user-static
To download all required files and ready the new OS, run the following command:
sudo qemu-debootstrap --arch=armhf jessie ./jessie http://http.debian.net/debian
Please note that the first jessie stands for the OS version whereas the
second jessie stands for the directory where the files are to be installed.Now you can unmount the image as the rest of the work has to be done on the
phone. Do so via:
sudo umount $(pwd)/jessie
If you cannot install qemu-debootstrap, see the next section.
Populating the image with the new operating system without qemu-debootstrap
Please skip this section if you have qemu-debootstrap available. You will still
need a native debootstrap for you architecture, though. If this happens to be
armhf, just use the above command line but replace qemu-debootstrap by
debootstrap. If not, follow this section.
To download all required files for the new OS, run the following command:
sudo debootstrap --arch=armhf --foreign jessie ./jessie \
    http://http.debian.net/debian

Now you can unmount the image as the rest of the work has to be done on the
phone. Do so via:
sudo umount $(pwd)/jessie
Transfer image to the phone
Now best create a tar archive from this which you then copy to your
phone. It does not matter whether the archive is put on the SD-card or
the internal storage. Create the archive on the desktop using:
tar -cvzf jessie.tar.gz IMAGE.img
Now, on your phone, turn on ssh support to copy the image over. You might also
do that using a USB-cable instead. Since the ssh server is reset on every
reboot, start the ssh service on the phone via:
sudo service ssh start
Next, copy the image via:
scp jessie.tar.gz phablet@ubuntu-phablet:$COPYDIR
where the variable COPYDIR contains the directory where the image shall be
stored.  This command assumes that your username on the phone is phablet and
the phone's hostname is ubuntu-phablet. You can find out both by issuing echo $USER
and echo $HOSTNAME on the phone, respectively.
Now you only have to extract the archive wherever you want the image to reside. Assume the directory where you want the image to be located
is stored in the variable IMAGEDIR. Extract the image there via the bash
command:
( cd $IMAGEDIR; tar -xvzf $COPYDIR/jessie.tar.gz; )
You might now remove the archive:
rm $COPYDIR/jessie.tar.gz
Finalizing and using the image on the phone
If you did not turn on the ssh server on the phone, do so now via:
sudo service ssh start
Next, mount your image to a directory of your choice (in this case "jessie"):
sudo mount -o loop $IMAGEDIR/IMAGE.img $(pwd)/jessie
Now, enter your chroot for the first time via:
ssh localhost "sudo chroot $(pwd)/jessie /bin/bash"
If you had qemu-debootstrap available on your computer, you're all done. Use
the above 2 commands to connect to your chroot. If not, you still have to
execute the following command once you are inside your chroot, in order to
properly setup the OS:
/debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage
Summary of how to access the chroot
If you followed the above steps, you should be able to access your chroot using
this simple script on the phone:
#!/bin/bash
sudo service ssh start
ssh localhost "sudo chroot jessie /bin/bash"

You have to first ssh into your own phone from the phone due to apparmor restrictions of the terminal app. The terminal app is only allowed to execute binaries in certain locations and neither your home directory nor the SD card are among those. The ssh service, however, does not have such restrictions.

A: Create a chroot inside the home directory:

mkdir -p vivid-chroot
cd vivid-chroot
wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/vivid/daily-preinstalled/current/vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz
sudo tar -zxvf vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz

Then, use the chroot and install whatever CLI tools you need to use, within that chroot:

cd ~/vivid-chroot
sudo chroot .
apt-get update
apt-get install git

In order to perform certain things, it may be required to bind mount some directories. You will need to take extra care when doing so, if you wish to delete the chroot from your phone, or perform other destructive actions.

sudo mount --bind /proc /home/phablet/vivid-chroot/proc
sudo mount --bind /dev /home/phablet/vivid-chroot/dev
sudo mount --bind /sys /home/phablet/vivid-chroot/sys

This isn't an exhaustive list, but you can bind mount other directories as needed in similar fashion. You need not create the chroot in your home directory if you have an external storage device to create it on, such as an SD card. However, not all phones have SD card slots. If you wish to create the chroot on an SD card, simply replace the home directory in the commands above, with the path to a directory on your alternate storage media where you wish to create the chroot.

A: Make root filesystem on phone writable
To remount root filesystem as writable, execute the following command on your phone (download terminal app if you haven't already):
sudo mount -o remount,rw /

Please note that after rebooting your phone, / is read-only again. If you want this to be permanent, change /etc/fstab. However, Ubuntu touch on the BQ is not on the main Ubuntu arm repo's yet. Installing things like tree or libreoffice won't work yet. They might be in the latest devel version.
Running the latest devel version of Ubuntu

Fixing stuff when you break everything
When you break thing completely, you can just reflash your device.


A 1923 murder trial was an attempt by the Canadian government to establish control in the North, by staging a court case where "the goal was simply to execute some Inuit," according to an author and forensic anthropologist.
"Memos were passing around Ottawa [saying] we need to gain control of the Inuit and the North," said Debra Komar, the author of The Court of Better Fiction: Three Trials, Two Executions, and Arctic Sovereignty.
"They saw this trial as the quickest and easiest way for Canada to truly claim sovereignty over this region," she told The Current's Anna Maria Tremonti.
In Dec. 1921, two Inuit men, Alikomiak and Tatamigana, were detained by the RCMP for the death of another man in their community, Pugnana.
Pugnana was responsible for a shooting battle that had left five Inuit dead, and was now seen by elders as a threat to the security of their community, in Kent Peninsula, in what is now Nunavut. Following the rules of Inuit justice at the time, the elders ordered Alikomiak and Tatamigana to kill him.
Following the killing, the men were arrested and taken to the RCMP detachment at Tree River. Alikomiak was held there by RCMP Corporal William Doak, while Tatamigana was held with other prisoners in a nearby seal camp.
Doak didn't have a holding cell — the RCMP had only been in the area for three years — so he kept Alikomiak in line by punching him, and making him do menial tasks for the detachment.
On April 1, 1922, Doak was shot and killed at the detachment. Just a few hours later, Hudson's Bay Company trader Otto Binder was also shot and killed nearby.
Alikomiak was charged with the murders, and he confessed three times leading up to the trial.
The two Inuit were first found guilty for the murder of Pugnana. Alikomiak was then tried the next day for the deaths of Doak and Binder, and again found guilty. Both were condemned to death.
They became the first Inuit executed for murder under Canadian law.
Komar argued that the murder trials of the two men were riddled with problems from the very beginning.
She said that the defendants probably didn't understand the gravity of what was happening, particularly as they did not speak English.
Alikomiak often laughed during the trial, she said, and shared cigarettes with the judge.
"They had zero understanding that they were going to die as a result of this," said Komar.
She called the resulting trial was a "grotesque travesty," that made her "ashamed to be Canadian."
Judge Lucien Dubuc — the judge sent north to try them on to Herschel Island, Yukon — spent most of his time taking pictures, and "playing tourist," Komar said.
"He's doing that in the company of people he's not allowed to do that with...the accused, and jurors," she added.
The hangman, and the rope needed for hanging, travelled with the court to Herschel Island, before the trials had started.
Lawyer Thomas Cory was appointed to defend Alikomiak and Tatamigana, despite a lack of courtroom experience. In the months before the trial, he wrote that it was important that Inuit "found guilty of murder should be hanged in a place where the natives will see and recognize the outcome of taking another's life."
There are also questions about what age Alikomiak was. Inuit at the time did not record their birthdays, but it has been suggested he was no more than 16 years old, and should not have been tried in adult court.
Komar also said she found Alikomiak's confessions difficult to believe.
A translator recorded that Alikomiak remembered the last words Doak uttered — "What is the matter with you?" — even though Doak and Alikomiak did not speak a common language.
Komar argued that the government at the time clearly wanted to make an example of these men, and crossed half a continent to do so.
The trial was held on Herschel Island even though the crimes had taken place in what was then the Northwest Territories (now Nunavut), she explained.
The government ordered this change in venue to ensure the media could attend, Komar said, an important consideration at a time when control over the Arctic was highly contested between several countries.
"It had to be a show trial," she told Tremonti.
"Not only did Canada need to know it was happening, the world needed to know it was happening."
The treatment of Alikomiak and Tatamigana doesn't surprise Melissa Irwin, a scholar of Inuit history.
"Our history books are riddled with records and documents and stories that give proof and evidence to this type of treatment to our people," said Irwin, an instructor in contemporary issues at NunavutSivuniksavut, an Inuit studies college.
She told Tremonti that the push to impose Canadian justice on the Arctic ignored the fact that Inuit already had their own system for dealing with wrongdoing.
"It was a beautiful system that worked for millennia," she said.
"When Inuit did something wrong, the wrongdoer was not sent to a penitentiary. There was no jail … Elders and leaders would hold meetings to handle these wrongdoers."
Irwin said not enough has changed in relations between Inuit and the Canadian justice system today.
"The justice system that we know today is set up by southerners," said Irwin. "It's a system of colonization."

The Firefox web browser now requires users to manually activate Java objects on sites that they visit, Mozilla has confirmed. The change is aimed at improving security and moving away from a dependence on proprietary plug-ins, but critics say it will cause untold headaches for developers, admins and less-technical end-users.
When a page that features Java elements is loaded, a red security warning will display in the address bar -- clicking on this will provide the option of activating Java. Many of those opposed to the change say that less technically savvy users might either miss the warning or simply decline to click through, out of a fear that they are compromising their security.
Java is a key underpinning of a vast amount of rich web content, including everything from games to line-of-business apps, despite its long-standing role as a major target for malicious online activity. Requiring users to click past a warning that the plugin may be unsafe before running any Java content could head off some security threats, but it's also likely to break Java apps designed to run automatically and generally create a less convenient web experience for Firefox users.
At the center of the controversy is Mozilla engineering manager Benjamin Smedberg, who has remained resolute on the issue. He's received the bulk of community outrage in a lengthy bug tracker thread, which features several lengthy diatribes about the disruptive nature of the change.
It was pointed out, as well, that Java is also currently blocked by default in Google Chrome, though one discussion participant argued that Google's interface for activating Java -- a simpler and more obvious drop-down bar that states "java needs your permission to run" -- is more suitable.
In an announcement of the prospective change last month, Smedberg urged web developers to move away from the use of plugins like Java.
"Even though many users are not even aware of plugins, they are a significant source of hangs, crashes, and security incidents. By allowing users to decide which sites need to use plugins, Firefox will help protect them and keep their browser running smoothly," he said.
The change seems likely to be a further damper on Firefox's reputation among institutional users, many of whom will have a lot of work to do to prepare end users and their own code. Mozilla's move to a rapid release schedule was not well received by businesses, and the company eventually added a long-term support track to help address concerns.
But Mozilla is one of the prime movers behind the general trend toward more open web technology, and may simply find the prospect of accelerating HTML5's ongoing replacement of older plug-in-based frameworks too tempting to pass up.


Sir John Arthur "Jack" Brabham, OBE (born 2 April 1926) is an Australian racing driver who was Formula One champion in 1959, 1960 and 1966.
In a self developed Cooper Climax, Brabham won the Formula One championship in 1959 and 1960. The years after that though, engines were limited to 1500cc and Jack was unable to win a single race during that period. When in 1966 the regulations allowed 3000cc engines he was able to win again in a Brabham-Repco in 1966. Jack was the first and only one to win the F1 championship in his own car, having founded his Brabham team in 1962.

Cannabis could combat Hepatitis C
Published:Tuesday | February 21, 2017 | 12:00 AM
As various nations continue their Black History celebrations in February, one focus that is often overlooked is the contributions of black scientists and technologists. Their contributions, which are most times expensive, challenging and time-consuming, do not have the gloss and excitement of sports and music.
Even so, a group of black research scientists, led by Jamaican Dr Henry Lowe, have found a breakthrough in the treatment of hepatitis C using cannabidiol, one of the most prevalent chemical compounds in the ganja plant.
The discovery made by Lowe and his research team of Dr Ngeh Toyang and Prof Wayne McLaughlin of the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona, was reported in the January-March 2017 issue of Pharmacognosy Research (a peer reviewed publication of the Pharmacognosy Network Worldwide).
The team found that cannabidiol, one of the two major bioactive compounds in the marijuana plant, is very destructive to the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which is responsible for cirrhosis of the liver and also causes liver cancer.
HIGHER RATE AMONG BLACKS
The World Health Organization (WHO) states that diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis C is particularly low in poor and developing countries, killing approximately 700,000 people each year, most of which are in the poor, developing countries of the world. It is estimated that Afrocentric people have substantially higher rates of chronic hepatitis C and hepatitis C-related deaths compared to other ethnic groups.
Lowe, who has been a pioneer in the research of medicinal properties of ganja, said there is currently no vaccine against hepatitis C and there is only one drug to treat HCV which costs over US$85,000 per treatment.
"This is a novel discovery, made over two years ago, but took time to do additional research and development on the cost-benefit of the discovery. A patent has been filed to protect our intellectual property, and we are now in the process of completing the formulation for a nutraceutical product by year end and preparing for clinical trials next year. It is our ambition not only to work hard at scientific discoveries of this type for health care, but also for wealth creation," Lowe said.
DANGEROUS RISKS
According to the report, "The current surge in the interest in medical cannabis globally has rekindled research to validate
the medicinal properties and medicinal potential of the bioactive molecules of the ganja plant. Cannabidiol (CDB), the molecule from ganja under discussion, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant and is credited for several medicinal properties. It is also known to have beneficial effects against inflammation/pain, neurological conditions, cancer and other ailments."
"Here in Jamaica, we are feverishly trying to come to grips with the subject of medical ganja. However, to date, there is no definition of what medicinal cannabis is and whether or not all products with this label need to be approved by the Ministry of Health. Hence, at this time, cookies, drinks and a variety of other things are being peddled all over Jamaica as 'medicinal cannabis'. This, of course, is dangerous and could have severe medical and political outcomes," Lowe said.
- Dr Lowe is the founder of Medicanja, Jamaica's and the region's first ganja-centric company which has been conducting cutting-edge research and development of novel products in medical ganja. Medicanja Limited was established in 2013 to conduct scientific and clinical research, develop, produce and commercialise a range of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals and functional foods designed to treat and manage a range of health-care conditions, and create and maintain wellness.
- Dr Ngeh Toyang is a senior scientist on Lowe's research team, based at their lab in Baltimore, Maryland, in the United States. He specialises in the research and development of novel health-care products from medicinal plant resources.
- Wayne McLaughlin is a professor of molecular biology in the UWI Medical School at the Mona Campus in Jamaica. He is also chairman of the Medicanja Scientific Advisory Committee.

How to Set Goals for Your Golf Game Using Stats
Last update: April 27, 2021
My Year in Review
Summary of my stats
A Deeper Look
Tee Shot Analysis
How am I going to do it?
So I want to talk about how I approach setting goals and where I'm at. Because I've been doing this for a few years now. I've been treating this like a game for a few years. And I think I'll probably continue to do this.
This is my year in review of 2013. So there are a few things that I want to talk about that I didn't think about at the beginning of last year. To give a little context for why I did what I did.
I want to talk about stats and how to use them in your game. Like if you feel like you've plateaued or you're not improving, how to use stats to get yourself to the next level. So that's going to be exciting.
Since I'll be taking a stats based approach for the rest of this book, let's first dig into my own stats.
I've been playing golf for twenty years now. I've got five handicap and an 8.2 index. I've been working hard to push that slight handicap for the last five years, and although I'm not there yet, I'm getting closer.
I'll start with some high level stats first, then go into deeper stats from the last five years. I'll finish with stats that ll reveal my strengths and weaknesses as a golfer.
Since you want to play to your strengths, take a look at what stats are best for you.
Here are the categories you can use to take your golf game to a new level:
To keep track, use this simple formula to determine the value of each category:
Ball Speed (Speed is good)
Putt
Approach/Scramble
Driving Accuracy (Accuracy is good)
Driving accuracy is a bit iffy because every course is different and drives are determined by distance and path. The long rough is difficult to maintain because it often leads to poor drives.
The two main advantages of accurate drives are:
You can hit it past the pin so that it is easier to putt
You can make better birdies out of raised greens
Just as for any other sport, detailed stats can greatly aid your game improvement. Whether following your personal stats on your own or with a coach, or keeping a record of your scores, it can be really helpful to track various aspects of your game to have better control over it.
One of the most important stats you can keep track of is your tee shot distance. By doing a tee shot analysis, you can quickly identify what type of tees you should be playing from, as well as the distances for each tees that you have the same average all around.
A tees shot analysis go a lot deeper than just measuring the overall distance though, because it allows you to track which direction you tend to drift the most and by how much.
For example, if your average tee shot distance on the 250-260-yard tees is around 250 yards, then you would be playing from the wrong tees. And if your average tee shot distance on the 150-160-yard tees is around 150 yards, you would also be playing from the wrong tees. But if your average tee shot distance on the 180-200-yard tees is around 190 yards, then you would be playing from the correct tees.
By doing a tea shot analysis regularly and throughout the season, this would allow you to automatically change your tees and levels as you improve, which would in turn also constantly improve your scores.
You need to track your summary stats (statistics). This is useful in golf because it gives you a lot of information about your game.
It will give you an indication of how you are putting, how much of your drives are going towards the fairway (instead of in the rough or trees), and how much of your irons are getting close to the green.
By tracking this information you can tell which part of your game you need to improve on, and which parts of your game are good.
If you want to have a shot at the pros, you might want to learn something about statistics and track all kinds of performance stats and skills.
