Américo de Deus Rodrigues Thomaz, GCC, GOA, GOSE (November 19, 1894 - September 18, 1987). He was a Portuguese admiral and politician. Also the 13th President of Portugal.When, on April 25, 1974, the "Carnation Revolution" deposed Caetano, Thomaz was also overthrown and sent to exile in Brazil. He was allowed to return to Portugal in 1980, but he was denied readmission into the Portuguese Navy and the special pension scheme currently in place for former Presidents of the Republic.
In center is the view at port Lobito, Angola. Centered is Silo (a structure for storing bulk materials).
Lobito is a town and municipality in Benguela Province in Angola. It is located on the Atlantic Coast north of Catumbela Estuary.
It dates from 1905 and owes its existence to the bay of the same name having been chosen as the sea terminus of the Benguela railway to the far interior, passing through Luau to Katanga in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The city is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
The city of Lobito is long considered "the guest room of Angola". Located on the south-central Angolan coast, in the province of Benguela, it is the city that most resembles Luanda, adorned with a wide bay, where stands the Port of Lobito, and a magnificent tongue of land which penetrates the sea - the famous Restinga ex-libris of the city, which hosts the famous Carnival of Lobito.
The Restinga do Lobito is the most attractive area of the city, with over ten kilometers of white sandy beaches and clear waters, a network of hotels, restaurants and bars, which extends from the Colina da Saudade to Ponto Final, with its towering lighthouse guiding the constant movement of ships towards the country's second port in importance and grandeur, after the one in Luanda.
Categorized as "international first class seaport", with its mineral pier recently expanded and modernized, it is in line with the Benguela Railway (CFB), for flow of goods into the interior of Angola and neighboring countries - particularly the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia, which need it mainly for export of its minerals.
The origin of the name Lobito comes from the word Pitu in Umbundu language, preceded by the particle Olu, which results in Olupitu, which means "door, walkway, passage", which the caravans of porters coming down the hills from the interior, travelled before reaching the "trade square" of Catumbela. With the passage of time, the name changed from Olupitu to Lupitu and, then, was finally translated to Portuguese to Lobito.
Historical records show that the establishment of the city was prompted by the sea access to the major resources of the area: produce of the local lime ovens, sea salt and the storage and launching point of human cargo (slaves) for international transaction; already illegal practice but widespread in the world by those who found physical shelter in this harbor and tax evasion".
Proposals for founding the city of Lobito date back to 1650, addressed to the then Portuguese Overseas Council. Given the importance of the location, in 1842 an Regal ordinance from D. Maria II ordered the change of the administration from the "stagnant and unhealthy Benguela, to the most favorable zone, bounded by hills and low breakwater (sandbank) safe and attractive" of Lobito.
In 1902, the potential of Lobito Bay is recognized, in 1906 the port's project is elaborated and, in the surrounding region, the design of the first part of the city (shopping today) emerges, made official on September 2nd, 1913, by order of the governor Norton de Matos. (angolarising.blogspot.de)
The Port of Lobito is located in Lobito Bay on a sandspit approximately 4.8 km long. The port is administered by the Empresa Portuaria do Lobito. The Port of Lobito handles 2,000,000 tonnes of cargo and 370 ships annually, and along with economic development in the Benguala region, port facilities are under expansion.
Emblem colony Angola was approved in 1935. It was made in the same style all Portuguese overseas possessions:
The shield is divided into three parts forked - the left side of the three-part shield with five azure shields, each of which had five white Besant (quina, the oldest coat of arms of Portugal) symbolized the metropolis.
Average lower depicting green waves on a silver field - sign overseas possessions of Portugal.
And on the left side was a picture of the actual coat of arms of the colony - in this case - the golden elephant on a zebra on a purple field. Shield superimposed on a golden armillary sphere topped tower crown, decorated with heraldic shields with a red cross of the Order of Christ and small armillary sphere. At the bottom depicted the tape with the title of ownership.
After World War II, Portugal has not followed the example of other countries in Europe and did not grant independence to their colonies. They were declared to be "overseas territories", respectively, in the inscription on the tape the word "colony" was replaced by "province".
In lower left corner - The Congolese PADRÃO of 1482.
For the purpose of the exploration and annexation of the African Westcoast by the Portuguese in the 15th century, Dom João II gave order to the navigator Diogo Cão to erect a padrão or boundary-post at certain places. This boundary-post is a reconstruction made after fragments preserved by the Sociedade de Geografia de Lisboa, of the padrão erected on the southern bank of the river-mouth of the Zaire, called Punto Padrão and today the northwesternmost point of Angola. The inscription in Portuguese on the monument reads:
"IN THE YEAR 1681 AFTER THE CREATION OF THE WORLD, THE YEAR 1482 AFTER THE BIRTH OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE EXALTED, ILLUSTRIOUS AND POWERFUL KING DOM JOÃO OF PORTUGAL GAVE ORDER TO DIOGO CÃO, KNIGHT OF HIS HOUSE, TO DISCOVER THIS LAND AND TO ERECT THESE MEMORIAL PILES".
On the die is the crowned coat of arms of King João II, borne until 1485.
It is: Argent, a cross of five escutcheons Azure, each charged with five roundles Argent in saltire, placed on the cross of the Order of Aviso andd surrounded by a bordure Gules, charged with seven castles Or. The crown is a royal crown of five fleurons and four pearls. The die is surmounted by the latin cross patonce which is the symbol of the religious branch of the Order of Christ.
Denominations in numerals are in top corners. In words at the top, centered.
The impala (Aepyceros melampus) herd in savannah.
The impala (Aepyceros melampus) is a medium-sized African antelope. It is the type species of the genus Aepyceros and belongs to the family Bovidae. It was first described by German zoologist Martin Hinrich Carl Lichtenstein in 1812. Two subspecies of the impala have been recognised: the common impala (A. m. melampus) and the black-faced (A. m. petersi). They are typically between 120-160 cm (47-63 in) long. Males stand up to approximately 75-92 cm (30-36 in) at the shoulder and weigh 53-76 kg. (117-168 lb.), while females are 70-85 cm. (28-33 in.) and 40-53 kg. (88-117 lb.). Both are characterised by a glossy, reddish brown coat. Only the males have the characteristic slender, lyre-shaped horns, which can grow to be 45-92 cm. (18-36 in.) long.
The impala inhabits savanna grasslands and woodlands close to water sources. It is a mixed forager, whose diet consists of grasses, forbs, monocots, dicots and foliage. It switches between grazing and browsing depending on the season and habitat. Water is an essential requirement. Impala are fast runners and are known for their leaping ability, reaching heights up to 3 m. (9.8 ft.). They communicate using a variety of unique visual and vocal cues. There are three distinct social groups during the wet season: the female herds, the bachelor herds and the territorial males. The mating season is the three-week-long period toward the end of the wet season in May. A single fawn is born after a gestational period of about six to seven months. The fawn remains with its mother for four to six months, after which it joins juvenile groups.
The impala is native to Angola, Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Regionally extinct in Burundi, it has been introduced in two protected areas of Gabon. The black-faced impala is confined to Kaokoland (Namibia) and southwestern Angola. The common impala has been widely introduced in southern Africa. Though there are no major threats to the survival of the species as a whole, poaching and natural calamities have significantly contributed to the decline of the black-faced subspecies. While the common impala has been listed as of Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the black-faced has been rated as Vulnerable.
Denominations in numerals are in all corners. Lower in words.

Does the Original Star Tours Break the Star Wars Canon Timeline?
December 19, 2009 October 29, 2017 By Shane
Star Tours is one of those rare Disney attractions based on a property owned by someone else. George Lucas officially sanctioned the ride — and with this level of detail, there's no doubt Lucasfilm opened the archives to the Imagineers for reference. They scrutinized costumes, painstakingly recreated props, and hired original actors like Anthony Daniels to maintain continuity among the characters in the Star Wars timeline.
But even with all that, one has to wonder if the Keepers of the Star Wars Canon were asleep at the wheel when it came to the ride's storyline.
The Star Wars timeline is one of the most scrutinized mythologies in pop culture history, right up there with Middle Earth and the Klingon civilization. And since Star Tours purports to be a travel service offering "non-stop service to the moon of Endor," it begs the question: Just when does Star Tours take place?
The moon of Endor was the staging ground for the construction of the Second Death Star, featured in Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. That Death Star was only half finished when Lando Calrissian detonated its main reactor. Yet when our StarSpeeder arrives at Endor, we see a fully functioning Death Star orbiting the moon.
Okay, so what about the Death Star that appeared in Episode IV? That Death Star was complete and fully functional. And it makes sense that the Empire would have used Endor as a base for all their Ultimate Weapon construction projects. In Star Tours, we fly smack into the middle of a dogfight with Rebel pilots — one of whom manages to score the vulnerable exhaust port with his photon torpedos right before we jump to lightspeed. But this can't be the Episode IV battle. That took place at Yavin, with Luke Skywalker delivering the killing blow.
Alright, maybe it's a Death Star prototype, before the events of Episode IV, but after the events of Episode III in the Star Wars timeline. This theory would find R2-D2 and C-3PO taking a break from serving Princess Leia so that they can indulge their travel service fantasies. All well and good, except the departure terminal for Star Tours keeps running commercials for various destinations, one of which is a trip to Hoth to see the remains of the Rebels' Echo Base — an event from Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (and also something that sounds suspiciously like Parkeology).
So now we're left with the only possible solution: Civil War Re-enactment. Clearly, some well-funded galactic history buff built this Death Star and now he likes to dress up on weekends with his friends and fly out to Endor to recreate the fall of the Empire.
If only these blasted tourists would get out of the way.
Star Tours! What are you doing here? This is a combat zone. It's restricted!

I think the continuity people at Lucasfilm treat the Star Tours Death Star as a third Death Star, operated by remnants of the Imperial forces and probably engineered from some habitation sphere project at Coruscant shown in "The Illustrated Star Wars Universe"

Radio program nominated for national award
BOWLING GREEN, O.—A student production of WBGU-FM at Bowling Green State University is a finalist for a national award sponsored by College Broadcasters Inc.
A March broadcast of "BG Connections," featuring former BGSU administrator Dr. Mary McKinney Edmonds, is among four contenders for a National Student Production Award in the Best Regularly Scheduled Program category.
WBGU is competing against radio stations from the University of Minnesota and Northwestern and DePaul universities for the award. The winner will be announced in October at the National College Media Conference in St. Louis.
"BG Connections," which debuted last September, is a weekly, 30-minute program that airs on Wednesdays at 10 a.m. Guests are individuals who are making, or have made, an impact on the BGSU and broader communities, according to Stephen Merrill, a graduate assistant at the radio station and the School of Communication Studies on campus.
Merrill, who received a bachelor's degree in telecommunications from the University in May, and Ashley Paessun, now a senior telecommunications major, co-produced the program under consideration for the award. It was hosted by David Moody, an instructor of telecommunications who shares "BG Connections" hosting duties with Merrill, from Columbus, and Paessun, of Canton.
"We thought it was a unique conversation with a distinguished professor," said Merrill, noting that the broadcast was selected as a finalist by a CBI review panel.
Edmonds was dean of the then College of Health and Community Services at BGSU from 1981-83, when she was promoted to vice president for student affairs. She left Bowling Green in 1992 to become vice president for student resources—and later, vice provost—at Stanford University, where she reported to Dr. Condoleezza Rice, now U.S. secretary of state.

Drone Must be Licenced – Garda
Just cleared The Market House and heading for the top-of-the-town.
Just when I thought it was safe to look skyward again without getting a blob of rain on the lashes, comes a telephone warning from Garda O'Mahony from the local station.
Garda O'Mahony was on duty at Kerry Airport this evening and the people in the tower there had got a complaint from someone in Castleisland about the 'Drone Film' we carried here on The Maine Valley Post yesterday morning.
The basis of the complaint was that the Drone is a danger to aircraft and cannot be flown in the vicinity of an airport – or anywhere else for that matter – unless the operator has a license from the Irish Aviation Authority.
Not entirely sure how those two square up. A Drone is about the size of a fat Seagull and, in the case of Michael O'Rourke's machine, it flew really close to the chimneys of JK's and the other tall houses in town at dawn that lovely June morning.
I'm doing Garda O'Mahony's bidding and on behalf of the concerned busybody who rang the airport and warning all owners to take them Drones down out of the skies forthwith.
And ye can be heading for Dublin with your wallet in your fist and you'll come home with an L-plated license as a drone flying member of the community and there'll be a fire at The Fountain and a lorry with loudspeakers going mad and then someone will ring the guards and we'll all be back where we started.
A Drone is only a funny name for a Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and there are just a few dozen license holders in Ireland at present.
According to the Irish Aviation Authority It is important to differentiate RPAS from model aircraft. ICAO and EASA define RPAS as:
"Any aircraft and its associated elements, other than a balloon, kite or small aircraft which is intended to be operated with no pilot on board". Whereas model aircraft are defined as: "Any small aircraft which is being used for the sole purpose of recreational flying.
'Any person who wishes to operate a RPAS for commercial purposes must obtain a permission to fly and an aerial work permit from the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), before commencing operations in Irish airspace. The operation of RPAS in Irish airspace is subject to regulation by the IAA as set out in Aeronautical Notice O.63 and supporting guidance material contained in Operations Advisory Memorandum 02/12."

Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS)
Please refer to our detailed Q&A document concerning the use of drones (RPAS) and model aircraft.
The use of Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) is becoming more and more prevalent in Ireland and prospective operators should be aware of their responsibilities to ensure safety.
It is important to differentiate RPAS from model aircraft. ICAO and EASA define RPAS as: "Any aircraft and its associated elements, other than a balloon, kite or small aircraft which is intended to be operated with no pilot on board". Whereas model aircraft are defined as: "Any small aircraft which is being used for the sole purpose of recreational flying."
Any person who wishes to operate a RPAS for commercial purposes must obtain a permission to fly and an aerial work permit from the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), before commencing operations in Irish airspace. The operation of RPAS in Irish airspace is subject to regulation by the IAA as set out in Aeronautical Notice O.63 and supporting guidance material contained in Operations Advisory Memorandum 02/12.
When you use your RPAS for recreational purposes, you must follow the same rules that are required for the operation of model aircraft as laid out in Rockets and Small Aircraft Order S.I. 25 of 2000.

I recently came across a brialliant keynote by Megan McArdle to the libertarian-leaning FIRE organization about the increasing prevalence of campus speech codes. What follows is a more philosophical examination of free expression beyond the typical "administrators who suppress student speech are bad", I recommend it for anyone who has half an hour.
Like most people who find themselves on the "wrong" side of what college administrators typically consider correct, I've had an interest in the growing attempts by campuses to lock down expression in the name of sensitivity. But I think Megan has nailed why these codes emerged in the first place (and no, it's not leftist academics secret desire to re-institute Stalinism). In most cases, it seems that the speech codes are an attempt to replace the missing cultural commonality that was lost when American Universities became multicultural in the late 70s and early 80s. Stringent speech and behavior codes, in effect, were an attempt to run a multicultural student body under a mono-cultural system of support this time with progressive empathy filling in for the old WASP sense of decor. Basically, it's a way to avoid the problems, and benefits, of living in a multicultural campus. No one wants to have uncomfortable interactions and the speech codes continue the illusion that none are actually necessary.
Of all the bloggers writing today, Megan McArdle seems to have the strongest understanding of how institutions re-enforce their own implicit bias and unanimity, not with ill-will, but through the implicit ways humans prefer to interact with others of alike mind. She's right in identifying this force as the reason why university sociology departments are overwhelmingly non-conservative and university science departments are overwhelming non-black. The mechanism is the same. I think many people of the left acknowledge just this kind of effect when it comes to structural racism, sexism, and hetrosexim. But they are resistant to acknowledge this as a general flaw in all human organizations, particularly organizations that they prefer. Hence, I always get the sense that the liberal solution to structural racism is to ensure that the "right" people are put in power.
But at any rate, regardless of who is correct, this is a conversation worth having, though rest assured it won't be a very a sensitive or comfortable one.
As predictable as Christmas TV-specials, Black Friday sales, and candy cane-themed mall directions, one can expect the perennial gripes from the chattering class over the increasing materialism in the holiday season. Over the years I've gown a bit tired of this complaint so it was refreshing to hear an intelligent push back from the ever-sharp Megan McArdle at the Bloomberg view. It turns out there is utility in giving gifts rather than purchasing things for yourselves. The holiday season is economically vindicated.
Read the whole thing. Personally, I feel this makes absolute sense (and should for any one who has ever shopped on the holidays). Leaving aside the obvious sentimentality of giving and receiving gifts with friends and family, the entire endeavor has the combined fun of solving a mystery and being part of a conspiracy. Moreover, it's nice to be forced to figure out the various things members of our families might want. As someone who lives far away from my hometown, I know much more about my family and old friends than I would otherwise.
I know, I know, buying things for people isn't what Christmas is about. But we live in a culture that is defined by material things. Saying that people should spend quality time instead of giving is well and good. But making such gestures the norm will involve a fundamental reform of a culture where people line up for hours to get the newest phone upgrade. So for the time being being at least, we can enjoy our materialist Christmas, in spirit at least.

Irvin Rosenfeld: Meet the Longest-Surviving U.S. Federal Marijuana Patient
Published on June 23, 2016, By Lexi de Coning
You may have heard about Irvin Rosenfeld; he's appeared on numerous television shows and done countless interviews with journalists in his time. And it's no wonder: he's the longest surviving federal medical marijuana patient.
But his contribution to cannabis advocacy is not just his surviving a debilitating bone disorder and receiving tins full of cannabis cigarettes from the feds. He's also a successful stockbroker, spokesman and board member of Patients Out of Time, and has published an autobiography about his long history of cannabis activism.
Above all, he's a gregarious character with seemingly endless optimism and passion, and a champion for the medical marijuana movement in the United States.
Irvin's History with Cannabis
At the age of ten years old, Irvin threw a ball during a Little League Baseball game only to find that his arm was suddenly paralyzed. The paralysis was temporary, but three days later his parents had taken him to the Boston Children's Hospital, where he was diagnosed with "multiple congenital cartilaginous exotosis."
This rare medical disorder causes lumps and spurs of bone to grow out from the skeleton, resulting in excruciating pain, limited mobility, and uneven growth of the limbs. While the bony tumors are not necessarily cancerous, they can be fatal. In Irvin's case, certain tumors could have turned malignant over time; over the next eleven years, he would undergo multiple surgeries to manage his condition. Because of his limited movement – and schools not wanting the liability of something happening to him on school grounds – he was homeschooled for 5 years.
When he got to college, he was determined to get out and make friends. He'd never experimented with drugs before and couldn't understand why others would. As he said in our interview, "why would a healthy person use an illegal drug, when here I had to take all these legal drugs? You name the drug, I had prescriptions for it." But when some fellow students invited him to "drink some wine and smoke some pot," he decided to give it a try.
"I didn't see it harming them at all … so for the first time in my life, I decided to give in to peer pressure and try it … and I tried it and nothing happened." In fact, Irvin thought his peers may have been self-inducing their high, as he felt no effects at all. They assured him that he wouldn't feel much the first few times, so he continued to have the occasional social toke.
One day, however, he sat down to play a game of chess. This was not something out of the ordinary, except for one enormous realization: "it dawned on me that I had been sitting for thirty minutes. And at that point, for the last five years, I couldn't sit for more than ten minutes…And it dawned on me that I hadn't taken a pill for six hours. Well hell, how was I able to sit for the first time?"
"I looked at this piece of garbage [the joint], because to me that's all marijuana was – garbage – and I thought, this is the only thing I've done differently: I've smoked this garbage." By accident, Irvin had discovered a truly effective pain-killer that eased his symptoms, and his lifelong passion for medical cannabis was born. He called his orthopedic surgeon, as well as a great-uncle and another uncle (both of whom were doctors), and his sister (who was head of Nuclear Medicine at Duke University) – but none had heard anything about medical cannabis.
Irvin researched the issue, and discovered that cannabis had in fact been used medicinally in the US until the early twentieth century. He "went out and actually bought some pot" and began experimenting on himself – taking it for a few weeks, then stopping for a week, and repeating the cycle a few times. In his experience, his pain and inflammation were alleviated when he was consuming cannabis, but he was worried that it was only a matter of time before he'd be busted.
Through his research, he also came across the government's one-and-only federally-allowed marijuana grow operation at the University of Mississippi (at the time of writing, this facility remains the sole source of all cannabis used for research purposes in the country). With the encouragement of his doctor, Irvin started putting together his own scientific study on the medicinal benefits of cannabis. He recalls his motivation: "I wasn't a criminal; I was a patient … my disease is so rare, it's not like it's going to open up a Pandora's Box…of course I was very naïve about the government; I thought the government could help us."
Relationship with Robert Randall
Irvin continued to accumulate research throughout the 1970s, and decided to drop out of school to take on the federal government. After all, it seemed ridiculous that he could get morphine from a doctor, but not marijuana. However, the government continued to stonewall him and, as he eloquently puts it, the FDA "didn't do shit."
Around 1977 he heard about Robert Randall – the first federal medical marijuana patient in the US. Randall had won a landmark lawsuit in 1976, when he argued against charges for growing cannabis on his porch. Because he was using the marijuana to treat his glaucoma, he won the case and the right to consume medical cannabis. According to Irvin, the Feds told Randall to "go home and shut up" after his big win. Instead, he became a vocal advocate for medical marijuana and started touring college campuses. In an attempt to stifle his message and prevent access to his medicine, the government offered Randall's doctor a grant to work at Duke University – essentially depriving Randall of his prescription. With pro bono representation from law firm Steptoe & Johnson, Robert Randall and his wife Alice sued the government in 1978; within a day, federal agencies put a gag order on the case, and settled out of court by starting the Compassionate Investigational New Drug (IND) Program, of which Randall was the first patient.
Irvin went to see Randall speak at an event, and introduced himself after the talk. He told Randall about his own battle to legally access medical cannabis, and Randall encouraged him to use his study to get into the IND Program. With the help of the Randalls, Irvin refined his study and submitted it to the government.
Randall also urged Irvin to testify in Virginia's state hearing to consider medical marijuana. Despite his fears of being arrested, Irvin did testify, and went on to lobby for cannabis in his home state. In 1979, the Virginia General Assembly decriminalized medical cannabis for cannabis and glaucoma – and Irvin's study and testimony were a crucial part of that decision. From there, his story was picked up by the media and he became a public figure.
It was only in 1982, however, that Irvin presented his own case to the government (assisted by UVA law school), and finally won the right to legally use medical cannabis after five years of struggle. Together, Irvin and Bob (as he affectionately refers to Randall) decided to use their fame and leverage to keep educating the public about medicinal marijuana, and helping other patients in need. Unfortunately, the Compassionate IND Program was shut down in 1992 and stopped accepting new patients. "Bob and I didn't like that at all," Irvin recalls. "It should be a federal program, it should be federal law."
Federal Joints, Getting High, and Big Pharma
One of the amusingly surreal parts of Irvin's incredible story is that he receives tin buckets containing hundreds of pre-rolled cannabis cigarettes from the government. Six tins are shipped from the University of Mississippi to his local pharmacy at a time, although Irvin picks up only one tin every thirty days – he smokes about 10 joints a day. The freeze-dried joints need to be rehydrated, and unfortunately the cannabis is years old. He's often pictured holding one of these enormous tins, and he recalls that the first time he received his medicine, he had to pry the lid open with a screwdriver. Nowadays, he also vapes on occasion – making it easier for him to consume his medicine through the day and consult with his clients.
Interestingly enough, Irvin maintains that cannabis has never made him high; it simply alleviates his pain and inflammation. When I asked him if he's tried other strains of cannabis in states where medical or recreational cannabis is legal, he laughed. He admits that, "when you got a medical condition, you want to know when there's other cannabis out there that might be beneficial" but that he only smokes the cannabis he receives from the government.
I asked if he still consults his doctor regularly, and whether or not he's been used for any official studies. As it turns out, he still sees his physician every six months, and they are still sending reports to the federal government with every check-up. As someone who has been smoking cannabis every day for 45 years – 12 years illegally, and a further 33 years on the federal program – you'd think he'd be a prime candidate for a long-term study, but apparently this is not the case. "We've now sent the government sixty-six reports, and I don't think the government's ever used one of them."
I also wanted to hear his thoughts on the burgeoning cannabis industry, not only from his perspective as an activist and patient, but also as a stockbroker. What could the future of legalization look like in this country? "What I would like to see is people having the right to grow their own – it's that simple." Growing your own, in his opinion, would help people who can't afford to pay dispensary prices for their medicine, and allow patients to find the strains that work best for them.
"As far as Big Pharma getting into it, that would be – I think – the worst thing … Big Pharma is going to grow pot, maybe even three different strains: low potency, middle potency, and high potency. And that's what you're going to get, which is not the best medical situation. Whereas, if you're going to a dispensary that has forty different strains, then you have a better chance of getting a strain that's going to be beneficial for you. You're going to be getting medical cannabis; you're not going to buy pot. There's a difference."
"I think [Big Pharma is] just going to care about the money … Big Pharma doesn't want to allow you to grow your own medicine – because then they can't sell it to you."
With all his years of experience, I asked Irvin what advice he has for other cannabis enthusiasts who want to get involved in the legalization movement.
"First I'd tell them to get a copy of my book…this way they would learn the history. It talks about my history, but also the history of the movement. They really need to learn the history."
Next, Irvin suggests talking to close family and friends about the issue. "You don't want to ostracize yourself from your family; they're your biggest supporters. Win them over first. You win them over, then try to win over other people. But if you can't win your own family over, then you're going to have a hard time winning anybody else over."
"And the most important is: don't put yourself in harm's way. I never suggest anybody doing something if it could cause them problems. And that's [including] in the workplace. I mean, luckily I'm in a business now; my firm understands, and so I don't have a problem. But a lot of people could have a problem. And especially if they're in a job where, if they test positive, they would be fired. So if you're talking about trying to further medical marijuana, they could do a drug test on you and you could lose your job."
Instead, he suggests getting involved with local state legislature, and contacting the editorial departments of local newspapers and media outlets.
Final Impressions
There's no way to really sum up Irvin's contribution to the legalization movement in the US in a single blog post. He has been the topic of much media coverage, has written extensively on his own experience, and could fill many more articles, books, and talk-shows with his knowledge and insight.
Overall, however, his energy and enthusiasm for spreading the word about medical marijuana is infectious. He seems to be aware of how lucky he's been in life – having access to incredible doctors, getting a good education, having the support and love of his family, and making intimate connections with friends like Bob and Alice Randall. But he also displays serious determination: not giving up in the face of failure and rejection, time and time again.
As we look to the future of cannabis legalization, it's always good to consider those who've pioneered that path, and to see the kind of resolve it takes to keep fighting. Irvin Rosenfeld certainly inspires one to keep working toward a world where patients can access the medicine they need, without stigma or big business getting in the way.
Irvin's book, My Medicine, is available here and on Kindle.

Students surprised to find class is online
By Bernice Caldwell on September 1, 2020
rssfeeds.usatoday.com
As University of Iowa students move into their dorms and prepare for a new school year, many are nervous and fearful that an outbreak might follow.
Tyrel Henry would rather be at home. Instead, the junior at Lewis-Clark State College in Idaho spends his days mostly alone in his room or working out at a local gym.
There isn't much to do in Lewiston, and he is losing money by being there. If he had stayed home in Kamiah, Idaho, he could be living with his grandmother and saving money.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. The university had told him his courses would be offered in a "hybrid" format, one where students take both in-person and virtual classes.
Days into his semester, he realized his classes were mostly online. That's a daunting prospect given how his spring semester of digital learning went.
"I wasn't prepared and motivated enough to learn online," Henry said. "I struggled, and I was on edge about coming back to school because I didn't want to struggle again."
Henry, like many students in the country, was lured by the prospect of in-person classes to move back to his college town. He only has one class on campus, he says — on Wednesdays. But he is effectively a full-time resident of Lewiston for the semester. For college students like Henry, the coronavirus-era line between "in-person" and "remote" course offerings is increasingly blurry.
I really moved to Lewiston for online classes.. hate to see it.
— Tyrel (@T_Hen30) August 25, 2020
Across the country, students have crowded into off-campus housing and local apartments — some prepared for a semester in person, others just living with their friends for another semester online. As campuses have started to reverse their plans for reopening, or professors elect to offer individual classes online, the students are still living in town. Many are planning to continue the kinds of social interactions college officials are trying to end by going online.
For some students, the chance of having some in-person classes has been worth the health and financial risks.
But student enthusiasm may dwindle as more universities continue to offer watered-down in-person classes, alter their course offerings at the last minute or see spikes in coronavirus within the community.
'Please don't kill him': Fall college classes kick off with COVID-19 warnings, miles of Plexiglas
'In-person' in name only?
Almost all colleges are offering some online instruction even if they're publicly saying their classes are all in-person, said Katie Felten, of the Davidson College Crisis Initiative, a group tracking colleges' responses to coronavirus.
The fine print may be buried on colleges' websites, and some students say they were blindsided with the details after they signed leases or moved in on campus.
Families and students should check the course catalogs, most of which are posted online, to get a better sense of what to expect, Felten said.
But, she said, view that information with some skepticism. Some colleges have quickly pivoted their course offerings, and more will follow. Institutions that thought they could open safely are realizing they lacked the resources they need to effectively control the virus' spread, she said.
COVID-19 tests on campus: Colleges need testing to stay open, scientists say. Some don't have much of a plan
Schools like the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Notre Dame, North Carolina State University and others opened for in-person instruction — though even then they had a digital component — only to pivot to mostly online classes as cases surged on campus and in the community.

Butler University had also planned an in-person semester, but switched to online courses a day before classes started. The university encouraged students to refrain from returning home during the period of remote instruction, saying a "modified 'shelter-in-place' " would contain existing virus cases while preventing further spread.
Meanwhile, the University of Alabama on Friday said it had recorded roughly 1,000 cases since August 19. But Stuart R. Bell, the president of the university, on Monday urged students to follow local health guidelines and didn't specifically mention the possibility of switching to remote instruction.
"Everyone who truly values the Alabama experience will continue to follow our health and safety protocols, which provide a path to complete the semester together on campus," Bell's statement read.
'Shame and blame'? Students say college coronavirus outbreaks aren't their fault
Even universities that offered remote learning for the semester, such as Washington State University, have seen outbreaks in their communities. That institution recently announced it would try to increase testing in the town of Pullman after what local health authorities say are "increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases involving WSU students living in privately owned, off-campus housing."
Often, the effects of reopening in person linger after a switch to digital. After moving to remote instruction on Aug. 19 and encouraging students to return home, UNC on Monday reported a nearly 30% positive rate in the roughly 900 COVID-19 tests administered from August 24 to 30.
North Carolina State also canceled in-person classes, but initially told students they could stay on campus. That changed last week when Chancellor Randy Woodson told students they would have to vacate campus housing.
"The rapid spread and increasing rate of positive cases have made our current situation untenable," he said.
What's more, many universities, like Clemson or the University of California at Berkeley, have delayed the start of their in-person classes. But it's unclear if they will actually start face-to-face courses or if they are just saying what students want to hear, Felten said.
"No one knows how to handle this situation," she said. "Everything is changing every day."
'A complete fantasy'? College students are moving in, but they're making COVID-19 backup plans
Digital classes, in-person prices
For some students, the potential for some time away from home is worth the uncertainty. Eighteen-year-old Sadie Varoncq, recently moved into her off-campus apartment in Gainesville to attend the University of Florida, instead of staying with her family in Tampa.
All her courses will be online, but when she signed up, they were all in-person. Regardless, she said, she is just happy to be out of the house. She had lived with her older brother and her parents, and it became chaotic when they all were on Zoom calls at the same time.
Like many students, she said if the classes are all digital, the university ought to offer a discount on tuition. That hasn't happened at the University of Florida, but a handful of colleges like Johns Hopkins, Georgetown and Princeton are offering some form of tuition discount.
Then there are the campus fees.
Danielle Cosner, studying for a master's in social work at the University of Iowa, had signed up for in-person courses, but that changed the day she was supposed to start. That's partially welcome, she said. Cases in Iowa City have been surging, and she doesn't feel safe studying on campus.

What is unwelcome is the university charging fees — $61.50 for the student union or $150 for the recreation facility — associated with an in-person experience that she doesn't have full access to.
Cosner said she tried to appeal the fees, since her coursework is now virtual. But the university told her she's ineligible for a fee waiver because she lives nearby. The university did not respond to USA TODAY's request for comment.
@uiowa@uiowagpsg@gazettedotcom@presscitizen@LittleVillage@VanessaMiller12 All 6 of my classes were moved online. I am now a distance learning student paying for on campus. UI really won't refund any fees? What about all the stuff I have to buy to go full time online? pic.twitter.com/NO99lKHipZ
— dani (@daytime_ghost) August 25, 2020
Had she known her classes were going to be online, Cosner said, she would have just applied for the digital program, and saved some money while she was at it.
With the cash she would have saved, she could have paid to upgrade her internet, which she described as spotty, or to buy a computer that doesn't crash.
"The response from the (university) feels like, 'Sorry, sucker. You already signed up for on campus,' " she said.

Defense and Special Teams Dominate as Chiefs Defeat Broncos, 22-9, on Sunday Night
The Chiefs didn't allow a touchdown until late in the fourth quarter
Matt McMullen
Chiefs Reporter
The Kansas City Chiefs put together another dominant performance defensively on Sunday as they defeated the Denver Broncos, 22-9, to record their fifth victory in a row while matching the top record in the AFC.
Leading by 13 points midway through the fourth quarter, Chiefs' safety Dan Sorensen picked off Broncos' quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and took it all the way back for a 75-yard touchdown, essentially sealing the game. It was a fitting exclamation point on yet another impressive showing for the defense, which hasn't allowed more than 17 points in a game since late October.
Kansas City held Denver without a first down on each of its first two possessions and continued that performance throughout the night, yielding just four conversions on 14 third down attempts. The Broncos also didn't find the end zone until five minutes remained in the fourth quarter when the game was already out of reach.
It marked a continuation of what's simply been a dominant stretch of football for the defense, which is allowing a grand total of 11.2 points-per-game since Week 8 – the second-best mark in the NFL.
"I've loved the attitude. Our defense has stepped up and really played good football," said Head Coach Andy Reid. "They're attacking. It's a great tempo setter for everybody."
The defense certainly set the tempo in the second half with interceptions on back-to-back drives – one by Sorensen and another by fellow safety Juan Thornhill – but it was the Chiefs' ability to hold Denver scoreless on a 20-play drive near the end of the second quarter that truly set the tone for the game.
That series – which covered 83 yards and ate up more than 11 minutes of clock – marched all the way down to the Chiefs' 8-yard line and threatened to tie the game at 10 points apiece, but linebacker Willie Gay and defensive end Melvin Ingram stopped Broncos' tailback Javonte Williams on a short fourth-down attempt and Denver got nothing for its efforts. It was just the third 20-play drive to end in a turnover on downs since 2001, and from there on, the Broncos never got any closer to tying the game.
Kansas City had its early lead courtesy of a 10-yard touchdown run by quarterback Patrick Mahomes on the Chiefs' first possession of the contest. Mahomes – who completed 15-of-29 passes for 184 yards in the game – led a 12-play, 72-yard drive that ended with his touchdown run, and while it marked Kansas City's only offensive touchdown of the night, it proved to be enough.
Kicker Harrison Butker added three field goals for the Chiefs, including a 56-yarder on Kansas City's second drive that established a franchise record (5) for 50-yard kicks in a single season.
Those collective offensive efforts had the Chiefs up by 13 points midway through the fourth quarter, and as Sorensen trotted into the end zone for his pick-six, the game was securely in-hand.
It all helped Kansas City win its 12th consecutive game over Denver, which is the longest winning streak against a single opponent in franchise history.
As far as injuries go, Reid mentioned defensive back Chris Lammons (ankle) following the game.
Kansas City will now set its sights on the Las Vegas Raiders, who head to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium next Sunday for another clash between AFC West foes.

Researchers have found a way to make the creation of qubits simpler and more precise. The team hopes that this new technique could, one day, allow for the mass production of quantum computers.
Quantum computing is, if you are not already familiar, simply put, a type of computation that uses qubits to encode data instead of the traditional bit (1s and 0s). In short, it allows for the superposition of states, which is where data can be in more than one state at a given time.
So, while traditional computing is limited to information belonging to only one or another state, quantum computing widens those limitations. As a result, more information can be encoded into a much smaller type of bit, allowing for much larger computing capacity. And, while it is still in relatively early development, many believe that quantum computing will be the basis of future technologies, advancing our computational speed beyond what we can currently imagine.
It was extremely exciting then when researchers from MIT, Harvard University, and Sandia National Laboratories unveiled a simpler way of using atomic-scale defects in diamond materials to build quantum computers in a way that could possibly allow them to be mass produced.
For this process, defects are they key. They are precisely and perfectly placed to function as qubits and hold information. Previous processes were difficult, complex, and not precise enough. This new method creates targeted defects in a much simpler manner. Experimentally, defects created were, on average, at or under 50 nanometers of the ideal locations.
While the reality of quantum computers, let alone mass produced quantum computers, is still a bit of a ways off, this research is promising. One of the main remaining hurdles is how these computers will read the qubits. But these diamond defects aim to solve that problem because they naturally emit light, and since the light particles emitted can retain superposition, they could help to transmit information.
The research goes on to detail how the completion of these diamond materials better allowed for the amplification of the qubit information. By the end, the researchers found that the light emitted was approximately 80-90 percent as bright as possible.
If this work eventually leads to the full creation of a quantum computer, life as we know it would change irrevocably. From completely upending modern encryption methods to allowing us to solve previously "unsolvable" problems, our technology and infrastructure would never be the same. Moreover, the limitations that currently exist in how we store and transmit information would shatter, opening new opportunities for—as yet—unimaginable exploration.

Patrik Antonius was one of those guys who never wanted to be a professional poker player growing up. Sometimes, however, it seems one cannot fight fate. Antonius aspired to be a pro tennis player, but when he was 15 years old, an injury forced him to let go of that dream. He took up the game of poker, and that's where it all began.
Today, Antonius is one of the most famous poker players in live tournaments and online games. With his good looks and his stellar poker skills, Antonius shows no signs of slowing down.
Patrik Antonius was born on December 13, 1980, in Helsinki, Finland. Before deciding to be a pro poker player, Antonius was a tennis player and coach. Antonius was reportedly very good at playing tennis, and he had plans of running pro. Unfortunately, he suffered a back injury that prevented him from pursuing a career in sports. His injury led him to learn how to play poker. He briefly turned to professional modelling, which got him enough money to start his poker bankroll.
Antonius clearly exhibited talent in playing poker, so much so that Marcel Lüske decided to include him into the "Circle of Outlaws". The "Circle of Outlaws" was a group of young poker players that shared knowledge about big tournaments. The idea behind the circle was that each player would bring something unique to the entire group as a whole. Marcel Lüske served as the group's mentor. Being a member of the "Circle of Outlaws" fast-tracked Antonius to the top of the poker world. Other notable members of the group are Luca Pagano, Noah Boeken, and Eric Mizrachi.
Antonius made a huge splash in the poker world in 2005, when he played at a number of high-profile poker tournaments. He started off with at the main event of PokerStars Caribbean Adventure where he finished in 12th place. This finish left Antonius US$34,600 richer, but his year was just beginning.
Only a few months after the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, Antonius finished in 15th place at the Bay 101 Shooting Stars of Poker for a total of US$40,000.
In the following months, Antonius won US$66,261 from the Ladbrokes Scandinavian Poker Championship and then US$145,068 for finishing in 3rd place at the EPT Barcelona main event.
The biggest wins for Antonius came in the last three months of 2005. In October, he managed to dominate the EPT Baden Classic. He took home US$343,366 from the competition. In December, Antonius made his ended up finishing in 2nd place at the Five Diamond World Poker Classic in Las Vegas. For this feat, he won a whopping US$1,046,970.
Since 2005, he has continued to impress poker fans and players around the world, increasing the Patrik Antonius worth as time passed. He has a total of thirteen WSOP cashes and has reached the final tables thrice. For the WPT, he has seven cashes. For the EPT, Antonius has won one championship, three cashes, and has reached the final tables twice.
His biggest win to date is a first place finish at the Aussie Millions Event 20 - No-Limit Hold'em $250,000 Challenge in 2012. He won a total of US$1,235,369.
Patrik Antonius also developed his skills for online poker, formulating an aggressive style that would leave his opponents cowering in fear. Antonius did very well in his early days playing at online poker sites. He built up a six-figure bankroll that he would eventually use to buy his way into large buy-in live tournaments.
Antonius is ranked 2nd for All Time Money earned from online poker, behind Phil Ivey. Just like poker pro Phil Ivey, Antonius plays every form of poker imaginable. Most of Antonius' success at online poker sites come from playing High Stakes Pot Limit Omaha.
Antonius uses a variety of aliases when playing online poker. Some of these are "crymeariver8", "luigi66369" and "FinddaGrind". He already won millions of dollars in online poker profits before he inked a deal with Full Tilt Poker in 2008.
Antonius made history in 2009 when he won the largest pot in the history of online poker. The pot was a Pot Limit Omaha hand played against Viktor Blom (better known as online poker player Isildur1). Antonius ended up adding $1,356,946 to his bankroll.
Like many other professional poker players, Antonius enjoys betting on sports events. He is known to make pretty huge wagers on outcomes of golf matches.
After being mentored by poker pro Marcel Lüske as a member of the Circle of Outlaws, Antonius was also advised by Jennifer Harman.
Antonius is married to fellow poker player Maya Geller-Antonius. Maya is sometimes seen dishing out good poker hands at tournament circuits. The couple has two children.
Antonius once showed up at a WPT event wearing only a bathrobe after losing a bet to Roland De Wolfe. The bet was about whether the Bellagio's orange juice was fresh squeezed or not.
The exact amount of Patrik Antonius net worth has never been revealed, but the Hendon Mob Poker Database places Antonius' total live earnings at US$6,788,791. Around US$2,163,141 of the total came from cash winnings from games in the Americas, US$1,874,607 came from Europe, and US$2,749,641 came from Oceania. These figures put him in 90th place on the All Time Money List.
Here are the notable career highlights of Patrik Antonius. The information below is taken from cardplayer.com.


American TV has a lot to answer for in distorting the truth in favour of a good story. What a great opening line for a post that disparages and criticizes the way indigenous cultures are represented by media. Unfortunately, this is not that post. Someone should really write that post. I would definitely be interested in reading it.
Instead, I'm going to be less interesting and share with you my first, and really only, experience of Thanksgiving.
My sister and I spent 5 weeks travelling through the U.S.A in 2010. Our penultimate stop in California happily coincided with Thanksgiving Day and what was intended to be a catch-up with a dear friend – let's call her Muftiah, mainly because that's her name – became an invitation to spend Thanksgiving with her and her family in Santa Cruz. Tainted by my TV viewing habits, and this is where my American TV reference comes in, my knowledge of Thanksgiving was limited to turkey, spicy pumpkin pie, American football, and a long session of hand-holding and declarations of thankfulness.
But this particular family decided to turn tradition on its head. They substituted a gigantic squash for turkey. In contrast to the customary dense, spicy mixture, the pumpkin pie was made light and custard-like. There was no American Football game, but my sister and I did manage to find a cribbage board. And in place of the hand-holding, they initiated the practice of an Altar of Gratitude. On the Altar, you would place a token and everyone would take turns to explain what the token represented to them. I had chosen a token that represented the beginning of a new journey for me, a change in direction, the search of a new challenge. My token represented the smallest of notions that led me to where I am today. It was the seed that grew into the desire to pursue PhD study.
Their customs also brought to mind the practice of koha, and in particular, the role koha plays in relationship-building. In reality, after having refreshed my knowledge on koha, the practices are nothing alike. But although the cultural conventions are very different, the values that underpins both sets of activities are the same: manaakitanga (hospitality), whanaungatanga (relationships), mana tangata (respect for people), and the concept pertaining to utu (reciprocity).
It wasn't all about the Altar of Gratitude though. Muftiah's father shared his daily ritual of green smoothies. A deeply green concoction with a flavour similar to mown grass, it had the power to purge five weeks' worth of processed American food from my gut. Their pet llama shared its appreciation of our visit by delicately chomping on my hair. And we found out that feijoas were called pineapple guavas, silverbeet was called chard, and that Santa Cruz boardwalk was made famous by the movie The Lost Boys.
Even though I have returned to NZ, I have continued to send a token every Thanksgiving since that first visit essentially because I love the practice but also because I find that each token adds to and builds on the relationship I have with the family. I hope you would agree, Mufitah. And last year I was able to enhance the experience kanohi ki te kanohi via a video call.
I am conscious that I am not contributing any new insight with this post like my fellow bloggers. But that was never my intent. That is because I am writing this post for a particular audience. I am writing this post in recognition of my friends in Santa Cruz who shared their home, their wisdom, their generosity of spirit.
This post is my contribution to the Altar of Gratitude for this year's Thanksgiving celebrations. To Muftiah and her family, I hope to return and celebrate with you in person and one day it will happen. But until then, I am grateful every year that you provide this opportunity to co-construct and enact this tradition based on values inherent in both our culture systems.
Ka nui te mihi ki a koutou katoa.

Britain is not a "small crowded island"
The 2011 Census, published recently, shows that the population of England and Wales reached 56.1million, up by 3.7million since 2001, and slightly higher than previous estimates indicated. IPPR analysis debunks some of the myths about Britain's population and shows that overcrowding is only happening in London and the South East.
The three facts which are likely to make the headlines are that:
this is the largest increase since the Census began in 1801;
that over half (55%) the increase was due to net migration;
and that if we look at England only, excluding Wales and the rest of the UK, the population density, at just over 400 people per square kilometre, is higher than in the other G8 countries and all major EU countries except the Netherlands.
Matt Cavanagh, IPPR Visiting Fellow, said:
"Although this is the biggest increase in population size, the rate of increase, 7 per cent, is broadly similar to the rate of increase between 1910 and 1970, and only half the average rate of increase between 1801 and 1910. The rate of increase is above the EU average, slightly above France and Italy, but half that of Spain. Among the larger older members of the EU, Germany is the exception, with a shrinking population – something which is giving many Germans cause for concern rather than celebration.
"As for population density, we only come out top if we exclude Wales – and indeed Scotland and Northern Ireland, which reduce density much further. It is far from clear, for example, why those who claim to worry about "this crowded island" should compare England with the whole of Japan: excluding Scotland and Wales, but including the outlying, less populated islands of Japan. England is less densely populated than Japan's main island.
"The Census also reinforces the North-South divide. Compare, on the one hand, London and the South East, and the North (which in Census terms includes the North East, North West, and Yorkshire and Humber). In 1991, they were broadly the same size: 14.4 million and 14.3 million. The population in the North then fell in the 1990s, and recovered in the 2000s, ending up 4 per cent larger at 14.9m. By contrast, London and the South East grew steadily, to 16.8 million by 2011: a rise of 17per cent.
"There are some exceptions within this broad picture: Manchester was the third-fastest growing authority in the last decade, though most of the fast-growing authorities were in the South, and the great majority of those that shrunk were in the North.
"If we are to take seriously the talk about 'crowding', focusing on national populations and densities is misleading, since it is really London and the South East which is crowded, rather than our island as a whole.
"Today's figures show that some local authorities, particularly in the north, are struggling with the opposite problem. The fundamental driver is economics, rather than migration or birth rates, and the issues it raises – of planning for infrastructure, housing, and services, and more fundamentally, our attitude to urbanization, resource scarcity, emissions and other related questions – would remain even in the hypothetical scenario of zero net immigration."
