When Suzuki first hit the U.S. market in 1963, it was just another link in a growing chain of new — and often forgettable — companies from the Land of the Rising Sun. Three years later we got the Suzuki X6 Hustler, and Suzuki got remembered. Today, it's one of the most popular classic Japanese motorcycles.
Suzuki chose three models to headline its 1963 U.S. lineup; the S31, powered by a 124cc 2-stroke twin, and the S250 Colleda (a transcription of "Kore-da" or "that one") and TC250 El Camino, both powered by a 248cc 2-stroke twin. Like Honda and other Japanese motorcycle manufacturers, Suzuki hoped to cash in on U.S. riders seeking a smaller, simpler machine than the booming twins coming from Milwaukee or Great Britain at the time.
1964 saw those models phased out in favor of a new trio consisting of a 50cc single, an 80cc single and a new 246cc twin, the T10. More new models were announced in 1965, including the highly anticipated Suzuki X6 Hustler, although it would be 1966 before the new model finally hit U.S. showrooms.
New frame, new engine
The Suzuki X6 Hustler made quite a splash when it hit dealers' floors. With the T10 from 1964 leading the way, the X-6 set new standards for style in the rapidly expanding field of mid-size bikes from Japan. A 247cc, 2-cylinder engine was bolted to a tubular, duplex frame, a first for Suzuki. All previous Suzuki models had used a pressed-steel frame, making the steel tube frame of the X-6 a step in the right direction.
Suzuki tapped Masanao Shimizu to create the X6 Hustler engine. Masanao, previously in charge of Suzuki's racing program, had already earned an enviable set of records under the Suzuki banner and quickly turned his talents to the design of the X6 engine.
The parallel twin Masanao designed was a 2-stroke, as were all Suzuki engines until 1977. A major advancement was the engine's Posi-Force automatic lubrication system, which freed owners from having to keep a can of 2-stroke oil in their tool bag. As long as the separate oil tank was full, the Posi-Force system did the rest, increasing reliability and ease of use immensely.
Made of aluminum alloy for lightness and strength, the X6 Hustler's 247cc parallel twin was rated at 29 horsepower at 7,500rpm, which was, for the day, a fairly significant figure. Only three years prior to the release of the street legal X-6, the Suzuki factory race bikes were only achieving 28 horsepower at 11,000rpm.
Six speeds and more
Suzuki set another standard when it chose to add a 6-speed gearbox to the compact Hustler. Known as the "Suzuki Super Six" in some markets, it was the first ever production motorcycle to feature six ratios, just one of the many endearing qualities of the new model. Mating this stone-solid engine to a 6-speed gearbox meant it was easy to stay right in the powerband. The bike was easy to start and almost as easy to maintain and ride. And at just over 300 pounds wet, the Suzuki X6 Hustler was quite light and manageable.
Additional features that helped to set the X6 Hustler apart from the crowd were the front brakes, of racing design with double-leading shoes in an 8-inch dimension. A wide saddle had enough room for two grown adults and was well padded for their riding comfort. The rear shocks offered three positions so you could cater the stiffness to your size and riding style. The circular instrument mounted in the top of the headlight nacelle features a split display with both a tachometer (featuring an 8,000rpm redline) and speedometer. An onboard air pump came in handy when you found the pressure in the tires a bit low, and it saved you a trip to the corner filling station.
The X6 Hustler could turn the quarter mile in 14 seconds at a speed of 90mph, with a top speed of 100mph. The fuel tank held 3.7 gallons of fuel, enough to provide hours of fun for the rider and a passenger. With fuel at about 35 cents a gallon, who wouldn't have fun? Buying a new Hustler wasn't much harder, with new bikes available for around $650.
Designed to shine
Styling on the Suzuki X6 Hustler was right on target and remains a crowd favorite. The curves of the fuel tank were accented with chrome side panels and rubber knee pads. The front fender was silver in color and included a painted accent stripe that ran down the center, matching the body color of the tank. Some traditions remained despite the dramatic new features of the X-6. A telescopic front fork also used oil damping to improve the ride, and the exposed coil springs were an obvious feature. The flat-bottomed headlight housing has become a classic today, although it's very difficult to replace if lost or damaged. Anyone who takes on a restoration will quickly learn of the scarcity of parts for these early Suzukis.
The combination of innovative design, sturdy assembly and ease of operation all added up to make the Hustler a popular choice for those who raced their 2-wheeled craft. It didn't matter if you chose paved or dirt tracks, the X6 quickly became a dominant factor in every segment of the field.
The 1966 X6 Hustler was little changed from its debut offering and continued to be the biggest machine in the Suzuki ranks. American buyers were getting used to seeing the perky Japanese machines around their towns, and they continued to gain in popularity. The Suzuki sales catalog for 1967 grew to include 16 models, and while there were many smaller displacement models shown, the Hustler remained at the top of the heap. Yet as popular as it was, 1968 would be the final year for the T20 X-6.
1968 saw Suzuki pare down the lineup, but add several new models with larger displacements. Two machines carried a 305cc mill, while yet another, the new T500, was listed with a whopping 500cc powerplant in its frame. As buyers looked for more and more power, the days of the small displacement machines were waning fast. While the Hustler name lived on until 1973 (from 1969 on it was attached to Suzuki's uprated T250), after 1968 the X6 designation disappeared forever.
The $25 Hustler
To look at Tom Sanecki, you have to wonder where his passion for the Suzuki X6 Hustler stems from. He appears to be much too young to have been around when the machine made its premier offering, so what's the catch?
In 1974, the story goes, Tom had a buddy who was moving away but owed him the princely sum of $25. To satisfy this debt, the friend offered Tom his 1967 Suzuki X6 Hustler. A deal was made and Tom brought his new ride home. Although non-running, Tom soon had it going and it became his main transportation during his last two years of high school. After high school, he disassembled the bike to correct a problem with the shifting — and there it sat.
At some point, a girl Tom was dating suggested he get rid of the bike because, she said, "it will never run again." Although Tom reassured her it would, she scoffed at the notion: The gauntlet had been thrown. Within two hours, Tom had the bike reassembled and running. The bike, we should note, is still around, but the girl is long gone. "I threw it together because she dissed me, and it's still running to this day," Tom adds.
Tom found the bike shown here on eBay. "It was just a parts bike, and it was rough," Tom says. "It hadn't run since 1977, the oil pump was seized, the clutch was locked up, it was junk." That Tom works as a Lexus technician tells us he has higher than average mechanical ability, and that a build like this wouldn't likely scare him.
Before beginning the actual restoration, he gathered most of the parts he needed and prepared them. Pulling together his shopping list of parts meant hours spent searching in faraway places like Singapore, Thailand and England. Adding more frustration to the process, many components for early Suzuki models have become scarce on a good day and almost impossible to find on the rest.
"When I was younger, I'd just go down to the Suzuki dealer and get what I needed. Now, it's all unobtanium," Tom says, adding he found the correct hand pump for the bike in Japan after exhausting U.S. sources. "NOS [new-old-stock] seats or seat covers are unavailable, and NOS grips are virtually unobtainable now," Tom adds.
Thanks to his mechanical chops, the only things that Tom didn't do himself were the paint, powder coating and chroming of parts. From rebuilding the crankshaft (Tom has his own press and the jig to line up the crankshaft) to lacing the wheels, Tom attended to every facet of the restoration to achieve the standard he sought. The end result is stunning, and worthy of any collection.
And Tom's hardly done. Including the Suzuki X6 Hustler that kicked off his fascination with the model back in 1974, he's got four more, including a 1966 with VIN No. 10702, making it the 702nd X-6 ever made. "That's in the basement waiting to get done," Tom says. "It has a chunk out of the case, but I'm gonna save it because it's the lowest numbered one I've ever seen." MC

I found serial number 202 in a shipping container, Monterey bay area, motor had stock pistons in an overbored cylinder.... I think it may be the earliest example still in existence. Motor completely rebuilt, it's a wonderful driver now

I never did get one but I was really shocked when I found out it was faster than a Velocette Thruxton.

Bought a '67 X6 Hustler in 1971 while living in Denver. Oh, MY! Fast? YES! Did 105 a few times, and 110 one cool day on I-70 while passing under the runway of Stapleton International Airport. I was stretched straight, helmeted, chin on the tank, legs straight back over the taillight. It was AMAZING.
I got out of high school in 1966. Friends were buying 305 Honda Scramblers. I wanted a 650 Triumph TT Special so I could be king of the hill. Couldn't afford it. X-6 Hustler was fresh at the local dealer. He was a good salesman and let me drive it around an empty parking lot for a turn or two. Then he put me on the back and gave me the ride of my life. Told me it would blow off any 305 and any 650. After the ride I believed it. I was hooked. He told me to give him...get this...a $10.00 (FACT) deposit and we'd work out the payments. I came home to find a Selective Service notice that Uncle Sam wanted me. Never did get the $10 back or the Hustler, but did buy a used 650 TT Special when Sam let me come home later on.
Warninger
I bought mine in 1966 for $650 and had to borrow from the bank, dad co-signed. Two years of riding this bike before it had to go, also drafted. Fun bike and plenty of power it seemed, at least for me then. Mine was a cherry red, I have one photo but I guess I can't post it, darn. Sweet bike.
I bought one new in 1966 and have one photo to show for it and wish I had more. I was drafted in the Army so the Suzuki had to go, it was a sweet bike.

The day I brought my 1969 TC250 home from Midway Suzuki in St.Paul for $625, my draft notice was in the mailbox. A friend trucked it out to San Diego for me where I toured & off-roaded during my Navy days. It must have been one of the last x-6's as it looked different from any others I've seen. It was a high piped scrambler with a gray painted swoosh on the black tank (no chrome) surrounding the rubber knee pads. The tailight holder was the same as the GT's. They must have pieced it together with various parts toward the end of the model. It was faster than my friend's Honda 350. Oh...and I still have it & it runs.
daversp
i had one used to blow away sportsters for about 2 blocks & then superior torque won out i had a rotary trans.had an indicator lite on the speedo.told you that you were in 6th& your next upshift would be a major down shift into 1st.at 60 or so it was worth a trip to the hospital.never had that experience,but wondered about the bulb burning out.

A great story on a great bike...can't believe I haven't seen this one until this morning. I lusted after these when I was a teenager...truly one of the world's all time greatest classics. Thanks for a great read.

I was a Suzuki dealer in '67. I used to ride for Fox Corp, a Kawasaki regional distributor, and we had a friendly rivalry once I got into the Suzukis. I ported every X6 that we got in and put them back in the crates. Fox were on the phone to Cali all the time getting the latest "poop" to modify their Samurais and I kept telling them my X6 demo was stock. The X6 kept whipping their Samurai and they kept saying my X6 wasn't stock. Finally I asked their guy, Ed Spenski, to come over and help me set up a new demo so he'd know it was stock. By then I was getting really good at it and the new "Stock" demo beat them more baddly than the 1st one. The X6 in America came with a carb slide with W A Y too much cutaway and had a low rpm flat spot and then hit like gangbusters. I measured the distance between notches on the needle and cut that much off the back of all the slides and raised the needle one notch to get the midrange back to stock. Even my ported engines pulled from near idle screamed to high rpm. Good times indeed.
"The parallel twin Masanao designed was a 2-stroke, as were all Suzuki engines until 1977". Not so, you forget the 1974-1976 Suzuki RE-5 Rotary-engined motorcycle. (most people do, it was rather a flop compared to the GT500 and GT750)

I owned a 1966 Suzuki X6, cherry red. I am trying to find one for sale (preferably running). I rode this bike throughout high school (graduated 1968). For nostalgic reasons, would appreciate owning one to show off to my 3 grandsons. God Bless, Kane Combs kane-combs@sssvc-inc.com 601/934-5616 cell phone

I bought a brand new Hustler in 63. It was my first bike and it was pretty darned forgiving. I remember when some guy pulled up next to me on a Honda 160 and rapped his engine and laughed when I rapped mine (ring ding ding ding ya know) but when I pulled a wheelie on him and blew his bike away he wasn't laughing anymore... Damn what a bike that was. I got drafted 6 mo after I bought it and it was the only thing I ever had repossessed in my whole life. I still miss that screaming machine.
Rodger Hoffman_1
I owned a Suzuki X-6 Scrambler-a high pipe version of this great bike. I was a student in college and several of us had the x-6 bikes. They were fast and reliable although I messed up my wrist trying to trail ride the Scrambler. I used to out drag a buddy who rode a Triumph 500 and I could wheelie that thing pretty well. I dunked it in a lake , rode it down railroad tracks , won a trophy drag racing it , dreamed of road racing the biek , and just really enjoyed owning a great motorcycle. I sold it to get some money after I graduated-wish I still had it!!

Assembly In Action: Dispensing System Joins Winners Circle at Academy Awards

KEYWORDS dispensing valve / epoxy / manual dispensing / meter-mix
Orion RED has fabricated several sets for the Academy Awards. For the 2011 ceremony, the company was asked to create an elegant, crystal-studded "Winners Circle" in which the honorees would receive their Oscars. The project involved building a 15.5-foot circular stage studded with more than 40,000 Swarovski Elements crystals.

Orion RED, a builder of high-end displays, has fabricated several sets for the Academy Awards. For the 2011 ceremony, the company was asked to create an elegant, crystal-studded "Winners Circle" in which the honorees would receive their Oscars.
The project involved building a 15.5-foot circular stage studded with more than 40,000 Swarovski Elements crystals. The substrate consisted of medium density fiberboard topped with a high-pressure laminate and divided into wedge-shaped segments arranged around a circular center. A CNC machine was used to bore the flat-bottomed 2.5 millimeter- to 4 millimeter-wide recesses in which the crystals would be mounted.
Securing the crystals was a high-profile application that had to be perfectly executed. Orion decided to use a clear, two-part jewelry epoxy that had a one-hour pot life and was packaged in side-by-side mixing syringes.
Having found the right adhesive, Orion knew it was critical that a consistent amount of adhesive be applied at the bottom of each small recess. Too little adhesive would prevent the crystal from being reliably secured; and excess adhesive would cloud the crystal's sparkle or overflow when the crystal was seated.
"On projects where we were gluing only 10 or 20 crystals at a time, manual guns were fine," says Howard Turco, product manager for Orion. "But getting just the right amount of glue into the bottom of 40,000 little holes was a totally different challenge. Plus, these holes were so small that they were very easy to overfill and any excess had to be carefully wiped off, slowing down the whole process."
Orion turned to Nordson EFD for the right dispensing system. Orion has designed several trade show booths for Nordson.
Unlike dispensing guns and similar tools that rely on operator judgment, Nordson dispensers use a precisely timed air pulse to control the amount of material applied. The material is contained in a disposable syringe barrel that is fitted with a precision tip and connected to the dispenser console by a flexible air line.
The amount applied is determined by a combination of the dispensing tip size, the air pressure used to move the fluid through the syringe, and the length of time that pressure is applied. Once these parameters are set, all the operator needs to do to apply the same amount of material every time is place the tip in position and tap an electronic foot pedal.
A five-member crew set the crystals in place. However, because the lead operator was moving around the stage ahead of the crew, Orion opted to initiate the dispensing cycle with an electronic finger switch attached to the syringe.
As each batch of epoxy was mixed, Orion transferred it into a 55-cubic-centimeter syringe barrel fitted with an 18-gauge (0.033-inch ID) dispensing tip. After adjusting air pressure and dispense time to produce the desired shot size, the operators went to work.
"We had initially allotted a week for this project," says Turco. "But because we were able to control the amount of adhesive with so much precision, we were able to set the crystals over the course of a weekend, without the need to bring in extra personnel."

This site is not intended for the masses. If you are new to having an online business, marketing, blogging, and earning a living online, then you should find a lot of useful information here. If you're an artist that is new to having an online business, marketing your art or creative work, blogging and earning income in between sales and commissions, then this page is really important to you. You are about to start a very exciting journey! Everyone has to start somewhere; I suggest you start right here.
What is a business? It is a structured approach to providing something of value in exchange for money or something of equal value. What your mindset and focus are about your business will mean the difference between being "salesy" and pushy (potentially hurting your sales and relationships) or using honesty and sharing from a position of love — love for your craft, love of the process, and love for your customers and wanting to assist them with the challenges they face in everyday life. If you are looking to make thousands of dollars quickly with little time, money or effort, this is not the place. Search "get rich quick" in your browser and enjoy the fantasy.
What I like about being an entrepreneur is the journey! You will not learn in a formal educational setting what you will learn out in the world. As an entrepreneur, you have full control over what you create, how you market it, and the entire sale's process. You also become fully educated by doing it yourself. With blogging you will hear, "The money is in the list." With art and creative endeavors, "The money is in the relationship with your target market." If you choose to give up control of that relationship, you are giving up the income you could be generating.
That's why I created this site. All of the online marketing and sales ideas you will probably find are geared towards other types of businesses. However, true for all entrepreneurial endeavors, all of the money, benefits, and experience are yours as the owner — and so are the mistakes. Sadly, many people never get to find out. They let fear take over and they only get to dream about having their own business. Since you've read all the way up to this point, I doubt if you are one of those types of people.
I'm not here to sugar-coat the truth. Your business will need serious attention. But, by utilizing automation and learning certain skills, you will be able to free up much more time to actually spend on your favorite projects. Learning how to run your business ethically, profitably, and efficiently will not be easy but then again, you are an artist, you know what you do isn't easy. But, just like with art, the more you practice and increase your skill level, the better you will get. Like the famous Nike's tagline, "Just do it." There will never be a perfect time to begin. Begin now.
Is Passive Income Truly Passive?
There are three main categories of income: active income, passive income and portfolio income. Passive income does not include earnings from wages or active business participation, nor does it include income from dividends, interest or capital gains. For tax purposes, it is important to note that losses in passive income generally cannot offset active or portfolio income.
The money is in the relationship with your target market. If you choose to give up control of that relationship, you are giving up the income you could be generating.
I cannot state in all honesty that what I will show you on this site will be truly passive income generation as defined by Investopedia or the IRS. (I am not offering tax advice here either). I personally do not know of a way to generate income completely hands-off. All I can share with you is that it wasn't easy for me to get my first online business going and make enough income to totally support my family. It was a great deal of hard work and readjusting my business plan as I went along. But, compared to a corporate W-2 position and being raised to work for someone else full-time until I retired with a pension, it was much quicker and more fun. I will give you the opportunity to learn that you too can generate a full-time income online with as little interaction with your business as possible.
Please grab something relaxing to drink, get comfy, and then watch this very important video (yes, all of it). Here I review the key factors to success with a Residual Income Business Model.
Now you should have the proper mindset and determination to start the process. Are you ready to set up your own Residual Income Model and be one step closer to financial stability? Head on over to my blog post "Understand How To Set Up A Residual Income Model" and let's do it!

PEOPLE living with diabetes in Dorset are being urged to have their seasonal flu vaccine.
NHS England says people with diabetes are more at risk of developing "serious complications" from a flu infection than people with no underlying health conditions.
Complications can include pneumonia, inflammation of the heart, brain and muscle tissues and even multi-organ failure.
Elevated blood glucose levels, which occur as a natural response to fighting infection, can - if left untreated - become a serious risk to diabetic patients.
Other people who are deemed to be at higher risk includes people with kidney disease, cancer patients, people aged 65 and over, pregnant women and children up to year five at school.
Patients with diabetes can have the vaccine free of charge at their GP surgery or local community pharmacy.


Pestana Viking is one of the most magnificent hotels in Algarve located on top of the cliff, enjoys a view over the Atlantic ocean. It's the ideal place for those seeking a relaxing and restful vacation in the Algarve, or for those who wish to enjoy the company of the family with a comprehensive program of leisure and sports activities.
Excellent location with good facilities, but don't bother with the buffet meals, they are truly awful. Eat out, there are some very good restaurants locally.
Great breakfasts with a huge choice of food with lots freshly cooked to order. Super Spa that offered various treatments, I had a full body massage which was just wonderful. Thoughly recommend.
more attention not much more.
Fantastic hotel. Great facilities, helpful staff, brilliant pool and beaches. This allowed us all to have a nice relaxing holiday.
and not too crowded. I would definitely go back.

FIDDLER'S JOURNEY TO THE BIG SCREEN (w/special Q&A!)
2022 | Daniel Raim | Documentary | USA | 88 min | $12 Member, $15 Non-Member (All sales are final)
Winner: Audience Award, Atlanta Jewish Film Festival
In this riveting and joyous film, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Daniel Raim captures the humor and drama of director Norman Jewison's brilliant vision to recreate the lost world of Jewish life in Eastern Europe while telling a universal story about the importance of family and the fragility of tradition in his iconic musical Fiddler on the Roof. Narrated by Jeff Goldblum, Fiddler's Journey to the Big Screen draws on behind-the-scenes footage and never-before-seen stills as well as original interviews with Norman Jewison and his key collaborators, including lyricist Sheldon Harnick, lead actor Topol, production designer Robert Boyle, film researcher Lillian Michelson, executive producer Walter Mirisch, and actresses Rosalind Harris, Michele Marsh, and Neva Small (Tevye's daughters) , among many others. They illuminate the untold story behind the making of Fiddler on the Roof, Jewison's favorite movie.
Using rare footage from the early 1970s as well as interviews conducted by Daniel Raim over twenty years, the documentary puts you not just in the director's chair, but also in Jewison's heart and mind. We see how the experience of making Fiddler on the Roof deepens Jewison as an artist and revives his soul. Unlike any previous book or film, Fiddler's Journey to the Big Screen explores the historical ferment that went into the film's creation and its unparalleled impact as a cultural force.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT:
In 1999, during my final year as a student at the American Film Institute, I met director Norman Jewison when I started making a documentary about my professor, production designer Robert F. Boyle, who collaborated with Alfred Hitchcock on several classics, including "North by Northwest" and with Jewison on major movies like "The Thomas Crown Affair" and "Fiddler on the Roof."
I interviewed Boyle and Jewison about their epic collaboration on "Fiddler" for my Oscar-nominated documentary on Boyle, "The Man on Lincoln's Nose" (2000). The film version of "Fiddler on the Roof" was introduced to me when I was a child, by my grandparents who survived the Holocaust. Jewison's film, including Robert Boyle's visually stunning and scrupulously researched production design, was a window into the world my grandparents came from, which no longer exists. I continued exploring "Fiddler" by shooting in-depth interviews with the movie's cast and crew, including the film's star, Topol, director Norman Jewison, lyricist Sheldon Harnick, composer John Williams, film critic Kenneth Turan, and the three actresses who play Tevye's eldest daughters.
Making FIDDLER'S JOURNEY TO THE BIG SCREEN has been a true labor of love, years in the making. I wanted to make a documentary that explores Jewison's artistry, compassion, and humanity as well as his spiritual and creative quest directing "Fiddler on the Roof". – Daniel Raim.
"A warm and lighthearted documentary remembrance of this 1971 film…and the effort it took to get the Broadway blockbuster "Fiddler on the Roof" onto the big screen." – Roger Moore, Movie Nation
"Captivating, illuminating and well-edited. You won't look at Fiddler on the Roof the same way again." – Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru

Economy, healthcare, roads...Uhuru Kenyatta outlines his successes
President Uhuru Kenyatta delivering his State of the Nation Address at Parliament buildings on November 30, 2021.
Photo credit: Jeff Angote | Nation Media Group
By Ibrahim Oruko
President Kenyatta has listed an expanded economy, improved healthcare, expanded road network and political stability as some of his legacy achievements since 2013, casting his administration as a major success in his State of the Nation address to Parliament.
The President gave a detailed account of the Jubilee government's achievements in a speech that spanned over two hours, even as critics pointed out his failure to address pressing national issues such as biting poverty and joblessness, rampant corruption and a ballooning public debt.
President Kenyatta said his administration had achieved "more than any previous administration" through policy choices that have enabled development through aggressively implemented projects.
Economy, Covid-19 to top Uhuru address
Uhuru's State of the Nation address
In the address delivered to a joint sitting of Parliament, the President regretted the failed attempt to amend the Constitution through the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), terming it a blot on his administration.
"When my administration took office in April 2013, we were eager to multiply what was bequeathed to us. And I am happy to report to this August House that we have multiplied our critical fundamentals in ways we did not imagine possible," the President said in an address that sounded more like a farewell speech, even though he is due to make his final State of the Nation report mid next year before expiry of his term in August.
He recounted that in 2013, Kenya was Africa's 12th wealthiest nation with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Sh4.74 Trillion.
This GDP was accumulated in more than a century through the four administrations before Jubilee—Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel arap Moi, Mwai Kibaki and the Colonial governments.
Wealthiest nation
The GDP has more than doubled to Sh11 trillion in the past eight years of his administration, improving Kenya's ranking to the sixth wealthiest nation on the continent.
The President singled out the 10.1 per cent GDP expansion in the second quarter of 2021 as a historic expansion rate of the economy.
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro said the president's speech was far from reality: "The president reported about economic growth, but Kenyans cannot see," he said.
President Uhuru added on his list of achievements the national road network that has expanded by 10,500 kilometres in the past eight years, nearly matching the mileage of 11,200 kilometres of tarmacked roads built by all his predecessors.
Citing the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) as Kenya's largest infrastructure project in a century, the President said it marked a transformative moment for Kenya and for Africa.
The President said travel to Mombasa has been redefined since the completion of the new railway line and that Madaraka Express has served nearly 6.5 million passengers; while a record 17.6 million tons of Cargo have been transported from January 2018 to November 29, 2021.
Kenya's total power capacity was 1,300 megawatts in 2013, but this has now doubled to 2,600 megawatts, translating to an average 325 megawatts installed every year under in the past eight years.
The President also told MPs that under his administration, Kenya had connected more homes to power than any other country in Africa, in just eight years.
"Kenya is the leading country in Africa with respect to household connections to electricity, Egypt is the second. Yet in the 8 years of my Administration, we have connected 1.7 million more households than Egypt. Similarly, we have connected as many households as South Africa and Nigeria in this period."
In real terms, only 2.3 million households had been connected to power by 2013 but this has now tripled to 6.3 million households.
Kenya has been connecting approximately 787,500 households every year or an average of 2,000 connections a day since 2013.
'Devolved dream'
He said his administration had increased the equitable share allocation to county governments from the constitutionally mandated 15 per cent to 32 per cent in support of the execution of what he described as the "devolved dream."
The national government has disbursed approximately Sh2.44 trillion to county governments over the past eight years.
He also pointed out advantages of the upcoming Sh63 billion Nairobi Expressway. Once complete next February, it will take 24 minutes to drive from Mlolongo in Machakos County to Rironi in Kiambu County.
He also talked of plans to build a dual carriageway from Rironi, where the Nairobi Express Way ends, to Mau Summit, both at an advanced stage. Once this is completed, it will take just 45 minutes to drive from Nairobi to Naivasha.
"Across the Republic, in every region, we're converting dusty murram roads to world-class roads. Our dream is to create an efficient road network that links towns and cities, ports and stations, and markets to consumers."
The President also defended his decision to deploy Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) personnel to undertake civilian tasks, saying, the decision was because of their unity of command, military efficiency, and reasonable pricing.
He recounted the example of the KDF's takeover of the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC), which has seen it turned around and now takes just 72 hours to pay farmers for their supplies, when previously, they were paid after four years.
KDF in partnership with the Kenya Railways Corporation, has revamped the 217-kilometre Nairobi-Kisumu railway that has been idle for the past two decades. Today it boasts of 18 stations, 46 bridges, and 27 viaducts.

Album Review: Vederkast Explain What is Northern Gothic
January 22, 2016 January 22, 2016 rockingcharts 0 Comment heavy, Northern Gothic, progressive rock, stoner rock, Vederkast
Vederkast is a new band to me, and they are a new band on the scene as well as they recently released a debut album Northern Gothic. Thanks to good folks from Prog Sphere Promotions who provided the album, I'm very happy to be introduced to the world of this Tromso, Norway based progressive/stoner rockers.
The music on Northern Gothic is extremely well thought out. The riffs are memorable, and the production is top notch. The band recorded the album at Lydproduksjon studio in Tromso, and it was mixed and mastered by Yngvar Mehus at GRStudios.
The entirety of the album has a huge textured feel. A big wall of sound. There's a lot going on, but it never gets sloppy, even in their more psychedelic moments. You get pulled right back in to the simple groove most of time, but complex parts on Northern Gothic is where the band shines. Honestly, it's hard to describe because of the immense amount of things going on.
The guitars weave in and out of pristine clean, and all out fuzz breakdowns. Guitarists Finn Fodstad and Sindre Bakland play so well in tandem that sometimes what you hear sounds like one guitar track. I can't comment on how well they pull this off live, but if it's even half as good as on the album, that's impressive. There are plenty of almost metallic guitar breakdowns, that are heavy as hell, but stay just outside the realm of being in-your-face abrasive. Tasteful, is a good word. The standout tracks for this borderline are opening "Skirmish," "Malison," "Leave Them Behind," "Forget Me Not," and "Meliora." The tracks walk a fine line between being metal and, it could be said, everything else. This all is done very classy. Some of the most impressive moments on Northern Gothic is when things are understated, I would say psychedelic. And just to get music-nerdy, the chord voicings are sometimes dissonant and other times beautiful.
All of the tracks "bleed" into one another, sound like one big song when listened to in order. This is almost a lost art these days, as most people put out singles in lieu of a fully realized concept of an album.
In closing: The songs on Northern Gothic are masterfully crafted. With excellent songwriting and production, this album is one of the best discoveries this year. I really cannot wait to hear what they come up with next.
Buy the album here.

Meet the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 presenters
After different rumors, Eurovision Song Contest 2020 already has its presenters, announced this afternoon.
This honor has been to Chantal Janzen, Edsilia Rombley and Jan Smit. Chantal Janzen is a famous actress and presenter, Edsilia Rombley, presenter, singer and twice participant of Eurovision, and Jan Smit is a successful Eurovision singer, presenter, and commentator for the Netherlands.
The presenters will open the 3 live shows, talk to the contestants in the Green Room and guide the vote for an audience of about 180 million viewers from Europe and around the world. "When deciding on hosts, we first and foremost chose 3 people with a great deal of stage experience. They also happen to have started their career as singers," says Sietse Bakker, Executive Producer Event of the Eurovision Song Contest 2020.
Chantal Janzen was born in 1979 in Tegelen and studied at the Amsterdam University of the Arts. She rose to fame as a musical actress, performing in Tarzan, Petticoat and Hij gelooft in mij. She also acted in several well-known Dutch movies. Chantal started her TV career at public broadcaster AVRO, where she hosted the award show Gouden Televizier-Ring Gala from 2008 to 2010. In 2011, she made the transfer to commercial broadcaster RTL where she hosted shows like Holland's Got Talent and The Voice of Holland. Chantal Janzen won the Televizier-Ster award for best TV presenter for 5 times.
"Chantal Janzen is simply one of the Netherlands' most talented presenters in TV entertainment," Sietse Bakker says. "While the Eurovision Song Contest is a distinctly public broadcaster format, we chose to open up to talent from outside the public broadcaster and focus on showing Europe the best our country has to offer", explains Rotterdam 2020 Executive Producer.
Edsilia Rombley was Born in Amsterdam in 1978, and was introduced to the general public when she won the Dutch talent programme Soundmixshow in 1996. A year later she also won the European Soundmixshow and, in 1998, she represented the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest with "Hemel & Aarde", finishing 4th.
In 2007, she took part for the second time with On Top of the World. Edsilia also presented the Dutch voting and jury results twice. She hosted the first season of the successful AVROTROS programme Beste Zangers. Since 2005 the popular singer completed 7 theatre tours and since 2014 she has been performing as part of the formation Ladies of Soul annually. In 2019 she hosted Eurovision in Concert, which she will also do in 2020.
How explains Sietse it's not necessary to say many things about this singer and her relationship with Eurovision: "She is a two-time Eurovision Song Contest participant, she has presented the points twice, she will be hosting Eurovision in Concert for the second time… Edsilia is one of the most authentic presenters we have. And the Eurovision fan community has embraced her. All together, her hosting the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 needs no further explanation"
Jan Smit was born in 1985 and grew up in Volendam and scored his first hit at the age of 10. In 2005, his reality show Gewoon Jan Smit won the Televizier-Ring award. Jan is also a member of De Toppers and the German formation KLUBBB3. Since 2012, he has been hosting the AVROTROS show Beste Zangers, which got nominated for a Televizier-Ring in 2017 and 2019. As a singer, Jan is not only well known in the Netherlands but also in Belgium, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. He is the most successful Dutch artist in Germany, reaching up to 12 million viewers with Schlagerchampions, Die Hüttenparty, and Schlagerboom.
Sietse Bakker said about this singer and presenter: "With Jan Smit, we choose an internationally experienced artist and presenter who has shown to be a great ambassador for the Eurovision Song Contest over the past 9 years, commenting the shows next to Cornald Maas. Jan has also been a solid member of the selection committee, which is responsible for picking the Dutch entry. Jan is a great guy, authentic and keeps his head cool during live shows — exactly the qualities we need to achieve a personal interaction with the artists at the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest."

NATURAL PLUS CELEBRATES 40 YEARS!
2018 is a milestone year for us at Natural Plus Nursery. We founded the nursery in April of 1978. Prior to starting up the nursery, Dave graduated from ISU with a degree in Landscape Architecture and was working for a large nursery in Des Moines.
When Dave wanted to start his own business, we returned to the current place of Natural Plus because it had special meaning for us. It was initially owned by my grandfather and is where I initially grew up. My parents had a typical farm in the 1950's with crops, dairy cows, pigs, and chickens. The farm buildings are now all gone, but the house, the memories, and the ambiance of rural living remain. This place has been in the family now for almost 80 years.
Over the years Natural Plus has faced many obstacles and challenges – interest rates of 18%, financial issues, weather issues, gypsy moths, me working both at the nursery and at Mercy Dialysis Center, and the coming of "big box stores" thinking they should all get in to the nursery business.
But 40 years later, Natural Plus is still operating. We give thanks to our parents for financial and moral support, for our children and their hard work and tolerance of this life, for hard working employees, and most of all for all the wonderful customers who have supported us - some of whom have become lifelong friends and acquaintances.
In 2013, our son David left his job with the DNR, and his wife, Mary, left her job as an OT to take over the nursery. They face the same challenges we faced, and many new ones including a more impatient and demanding technology dominated world. But they have risen to the challenge and hope to make improvements as the years go by, and most of all continue to serve you.
Again – we thank YOU , our customers for supporting us! And we hope to get to meet many new customers.
Help us celebrate 40 years at our Spring Open House May 11-19!
New varieties of plants are continually being developed. Growers are adding new varieties of barberries, spireas, rhododendrons, ninebarks, hydrangeas, perennials, and many other plant species.
We would especially like to inform you of hardy disease resistant Elms. These new varieties are resistant to Dutch Elm Disease which wiped out virtually all of the elms about 30-40 years ago. These beautiful, vase shaped trees can now be added back to your landscape and will add interest, beauty , and shade.


I doubt writer and directors Joel and Ethan Coen would call this film a remake. There seems to be a stigma against remakes, so no one in Hollywood wants to say their movie is one, despite the fact that every other film that comes out nowadays is a remake. The Coen brothers would more likely argue that this is merely another adaptation of the Charles Portis novel.
This suits me fine because I've not seen the John Wayne version, as I would only use it as a basis of comparison, probably to this film's detriment. The last film released that was a remake of an old Western was 3:10 to Yuma (2007). Like that film, this one looks authentic and is very entertaining to watch.
Jeff Bridges stars as Rooster Cogburn, an old, gristled, slightly drunken, federal marshal who works as an Arkansas bounty hunter in the days following the Civil War. Matt Damon co-stars as LaBoeuf, a Texas Ranger who is on the hunt for a murderous outlaw named Tom Chaney. The two of them team up when the father of a teenage girl is killed by Chaney and she hires Cogburn to bring Chaney to justice.
Both Bridges and Damon are Oscar-winners but Hailee Steinfeld, who plays the teenage girl, Mattie Ross, steals the show. Her character is the first and last one you see in this movie and from the instant she appears on screen and utters her first sentence, you fall in love with her. Despite being only 14, she's very mature, very strong, very smart and very saucy, as LBoeuf describes her, or "a pill," as the Coen brothers describe her.
She's the perfect foil for the two main men and in fact for all the male characters. She's not afraid to stand up to these fellows, and not only talk back to them in just as stern a voice but be a very tough negotiator in the various business arrangements she has to settle.
John Wayne was so liked in the role of Rooster Cogburn that it spurred a sequel, but if the character of Mattie was as well-written and well-acted then as now, the sequel should have focused on her. Yet, Bridges is very compelling here, and his fat, unkempt, one-eyed sharpshooter persona is quite well done.
What perhaps isn't well-done is the ending to this film. Maybe, it's just me, but I have not been satisfied with the ending of a single Coen brothers film going back to their Oscar-winner No Country for Old Men (2007). The endings to their movies feel so unsatisfying that they to me might as well not be endings at all, but almost quick and convenient wrap-ups, non-punctuated, often weird stops.
Maybe, their climaxes just aren't that exciting to me or maybe I simply don't accept the anti-climactic natures of them and their denouements just feel like unnecessary drags. For example, the main thrust of this movie is an inevitable showdown between Mattie and Tom, an event that doesn't happen until an hour and half into this film and then is quickly settled in five minutes.
Josh Brolin, who plays Tom Chaney, does a great job of establishing that character in the five minutes of screen time he's given, but it isn't enough. It feels like there's such a build up to his character and to the eventual showdown that must involve him, that when we got there, the ends don't justify the means.
I understand that the final showdown and having it be a grand, overly exciting thing probably wasn't the purpose of the movie. The purpose may have been to develop the relationship between Mattie and Rooster, the cold, business arrangement that develops into a genuine, heartfelt friendship of sorts. The middle section of this film is basically a road trip, which allows for the introduction of quirky characters that often appear in Coen films like a Grizzly Adams or ZZ Top-looking dentist wearing bear skin.
The purpose of road trip movies is usually to develop or strengthen the friendships of their main characters, and, if that was the purpose of this western to be a road trip or buddy cop film set in the late 1800s, and have it be about the unlikely friendship or partnership of a teenage girl and an old gunslinger, that would have been fine. Unfortunately, the conclusion doesn't resolve or congeal that friendship. We instead get a ridiculous, final action and a rather hollow epilogue.
This stands in contrast to the rich cinematography and the interesting staging and direction of the major shootouts. For two in particular, the Coens, as probably dictated by the book, set the camera in the point-of-view of a sniper tons of yards away from the main gun play. Again, that may have been a dictation of the book, but the Coens mirror this technique of keeping the camera distant from action we want to focus on in other situations, such as a tree climbing or Ned's taking of Mattie.
I haven't seen the 1969 version, but I doubt it had the level of violence here. Some of it is rather gratuitous. Going by this movie, the west was littered with dead bodies, corpses literally hanging around every corner, boom economic times for morticians, and not only human corpses, but horse corpses as well. Where the Coens go too far is in their depiction of the death of one particular horse named Little Blackie. I don't know if it was depicted in 1969, but the horse's death here was just too abusive and cruel.
Rated PG-13 for some intense violence and disturbing images.

It was wonderful to photograph Tani and Derrick's Elopement in Carmel, California. They were so sweet and had an informal intimate wedding surrounded by their closest family and friends. They also had, not joking, one of the cutest babies I've ever seen in my life, so naturally we got a ton of photos of him as well. They were such a sweet little family, and so fun to work with. Here are a few of my favorites.


Today after looking the news on TV and how the African countries are getting contagious by the Ebola killer, and already several cases in America, now i worry big time.
My kids and husband could be the next and after me, pets cats and dogs, who knows.
If someone can tell me how to avoid it, stay, safe from the disease and the steps to survive a contagious event.
Can you tell me what are the best steps to take care of loves ones if they were thick?
Please, I'm so worry, not kidding because this is serious thing.
Anything that we talk on this website is not going to fix the facts that what is gong to happen, will happen no matter what, and I hope you understand those facts.
The sense of protection from the United States health department became UN-senseless meantime.
The airlines continuing taking passengers who have being visiting, living and cross traveling from the affected African countries like Liberia, Sierra De Leona and others.
I understand your big worries and concerns about maintaining alive to get to watch your kids grow and possible, why not also the grand children and furthermore, their kids too.
Things aren't pointing to that direction, and now humanity is in a dangerous situation, weird viruses that seem to come from chemical reactions made by crazy doctors who enjoy testing their inventions with humans and monkeys gorillas and so on.
The facts are that Evola is not going to go away because the state department of the US said that they are sending an Army to stop it right there on the events territories, or neither if the medical chemical companies are trying to test their vaccines and pills to provide a faster cure to the sick right now.
Millions could be gone by 2016, who knows how many of those people will be from America, from Brasil Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, Panama, Mexico, Canada, United States etc.
All because, the American authorities did not want to act faster by putting the barriers faster enough in the airlines companies, sanitizing airports and controlling seriously who was coming and going to get infected and spraying the virus all over the place.
I can tell you that Jesus is almost here, and that it is not a surprise these events happening simultanesly , the weather, talking about peace and then war, diseases, epidemics with viruses, hurricanes, earthquakes and who knows what else more, are the signs whiten on the books of the Holly bible of GOD.
No matter how much people try to deny Jesus and GOD, the stuff will happen.
Be Careful and maintain all the necessary foods supplies, clothing, cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, many large plastic bags and plasting clean containers for water, honeybee to eat in case of no food, sanitizing wipes for babies and adults, bacteria killer, protection for the face and body, masks, gloves and as soon hearing the epidemic is eminent happening, then do no go out of home till everything could be over.
I invite to anybody who can post an important answer respecting this matter to do so. We are in an extreme in danger in America with no vaccinations ready to contain what it could be the ultimo killer of humans.
I heard on the news that two more cases occurred now on February 2016. Hopefully, this disease goes away. ls in America and east Europe the Zika virus caused by a rare African mosquito is damaging baby's brain while the baby is inside their ****** during pregnancy. Many cases in Brazil, Haiti Colombia Mexico and so on.
Millions are afraid and countries goverment asking their cititizens to abstend not to get pregnant or vuisiting nations where the mosquito is attacking more frecuently. they are afraid to visit South Forida, Puerto Rico, panama and ask if they should we be? While many scientists explain.

Wayne Smith is the former chief statistician of Statistics Canada.
We deserve a public statistical data system that is comprehensive, integrated, accessible, well-documented and produced to the highest possible standards operated by an agent that is broadly recognized as competent and unbiased.
An ideal data system should provide tightly integrated, comprehensive data on Canada's economy, society, population health and environment. It should allow researchers not only to examine characteristics of Canadians and their institutions at a point in time, but also to track these characteristics for specific cohorts as they evolve through their life course.
We need a system founded on continuously updated statistical databases constructed through the collation of existing administrative data sources in public and private hands, and, only where necessary, complementary targeted surveys of households and institutions. The system should be governed by a trusted and competent public institution that has buy-in and representation from all levels of government, academia and non-government organizations.
It should be able to tell us how events in early childhood relate to academic and professional success in later life; one able to show how local environmental issues relate to local employment trends and future health outcomes; one able to assess how well postsecondary educational programs are adapting to shifts in the structure of the economy.
But this system does not exist today. While Statistics Canada provides a solid, high-quality and generally trusted base on which to build, its program today is itself fragmentary, pockmarked with massive gaps.
In the optimistic late 1990s and early 2000s, Statistics Canada and its partners were moving toward this ideal system, launching an array of longitudinal population surveys on topics such as population health; labour and income dynamics; children and youth; youth in transition from school to the workplace; and integration of immigrants to Canadians society. It was also embarking on meaningful work toward an integrated system of environmental statistics. In these years, under two successive "data gaps" initiatives, Statistics Canada received new funding for general data development.
These initiatives all fell victim to a combination of economic crisis, budget cuts and a political environment hostile to policy activism; removing data and the policy research, after all, is something governments can live with, if it means achieving their interests.
Today, the cart leads the horse. New funding received by Statistics Canada doesn't go to support general data development and policy research – it supports the implementation and administration of policy decisions already taken, whether or not they are supported by the evidence. Statistics Canada is stalled.
Reversing course will require some nation-building leadership and vision. That's not likely to come from Canadians at large; the links between investment in an appropriate level of data collection and benefits to individual Canadians are too indirect and unclear. So, the onus is on the federal government to give Canadians the policy-relevant information they need and make those connections.
It can start by relaxing Statistics Canada's overly stringent restrictions on access to detailed records and data. Such constraints sap much of the value of our information holdings. For example, Statistics Canada has highly detailed data about the geographic distribution of manufacturing and primary industry activity, but cannot publish it, even at the provincial level, without violating the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act.
Statistics Canada should be applauded for the progress already made to increase access. The agency has produced accessible and anonymized data files from many of its household surveys. It has joined universities across Canada in opening research data centres where university researchers can be sworn as employees of Statistics Canada and thereby conduct research on confidential data files. It has also, within the limitations imposed by its legislation, reviewed and relaxed the confidentiality protection rules governing release of economic statistics.
But it's not enough. For all the talk of the value of big data, these data are largely useless for public policy purposes, even if they are extremely useful and often profitable for their owners. These data are typically of poor quality, riddled with bias, undocumented and unrepresentative of anything except the limited and often undefined populations from which they were drawn.
We need more data – but perhaps more importantly, we need better, more robust data.
Part of the solution will have to be a discussion with Canadians, their businesses and institutions about the appropriate level of protection of data provided to Statistics Canada in order to preserve the research value of the information.
If we don't care where we're going, any road will get us there. But if we want to move forward as a country purposefully and share our prosperity equitably, we need a plan. Solid plans require solid data.

"Rational Design of Superhydrophilic/Superoleophobic Surfaces for Oil-W" by Li Xiong, Wei Guo et al.
We report a simple, rapid, and scalable strategy to fabricate surfaces exhibiting in-air superoleophobic/superhydrophilic wetting via sequential spray deposition and photopolymerization of nanoparticle-laden thiol–acrylate resins comprising both hydrophilic and oleophobic chemical constituents. The combination of spray deposition with nanoparticles provides hierarchical surface morphologies with both micro- and nanoscale roughness. Mapping the wetting behavior as a function of resin composition using high- and low-surface-tension liquid probes enabled facile identification of coatings that exhibit a range of wetting behavior, including superhydrophilic/superoleophilic, superhydrophobic/superoleophobic, and in-air superhydrophilic/superoleophobic wetting. In-air superhydrophilic/superoleophobic wetting was realized by a dynamic rearrangement of the interface to expose a greater fraction of hydrophilic moieties in response to contact with water. We show that these in-air superoleophobic/superhydrophilic coatings deposited onto porous supports enable separation of model oil–water emulsions with separation efficiencies up to 99.9% with 699 L·m–2 h–1 permeate flux when the superhydrophilic/superoleophobic coatings are paired with 0.45 μm nylon membrane supports.

But, this next recipe I tried (with great skepticism) turned out BEAUTIFULLY and was SO SIMPLE!!! It really only took a few minutes to finish the recipe! (then stirring a few times later in the day.) Can you tell I'm excited? And, I've already shared this finished product with friends and family, we've all been using it for a few weeks now and still love it!
So, I thought it was time to share the recipe with you!
It is kind of crazy how I first came about this recipe…but I will try to explain so that I can give credit where credit is due! As you know, I love instagram. Well, I follow Aimee on instagram and one day she posted a picture of this lotion that she said all her friends were raving about! In the comments others asked what the recipe was and she directed us here, to A Sonoma Garden.
Next, after reading and reading about the huge benefits to coconut oil, I wanted to try the same recipe with the coconut oil instead of the olive.
I purchased the emulsifying wax from Mountain Rose Herbs. like suggested on the original blog recipe, however, I was disappointed that the shipping cost MORE than the products themselves. Ugh. So, I'm going to be looking for a better option. We are in a tiny town and don't have many options, but I think I'll try this from amazon next time, (Emulsifying Wax ) as we have prime and can get it quickly with free shipping! I haven't tried Hobby Lobby yet, either, which we have…so those are my next 2 options to try!
Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil This is the coconut oil we use for lots of things, I order it on 'subscribe and save' and save even more that way. We have it shipped to our house every 3 months or so.
Jars: I also used a smaller sized jar because I think for giving gifts, especially with the "life span" on the lotion, I don't want it to go bad on people before they can use it up. I used these 4oz jars.
Ball Quilted Jelly Canning Jar 4 Oz., Case of 12 I also purchased the white plastic lids for mine, while the regular 2-part lids are pretty with a fabric on them for gifts, they are more of a pain to take off and on as you are using lotion frequently!
Now, on to the directions!! SO simple, I really could not believe it!!
3. While water is heating, add your drops of essential oil. I only added about 15 drops, the original recipe calls for more than that. It really depends on how smelly you like your lotion! you don't have to add a scent at all!!
4. Pour the hot water into the oil mixture and stir.
5. I then poured my lotion into the small 4oz jars. I left them open because you want to keep stirring the lotion so that it doesn't separate. I basically left it on the counter and everytime I walked through the kitchen, I stirred it a few times.
After a few hours you have wonderful, homemade lavendar lotion!!
I noticed today that over on A Sonoma Garden she has added a new recipe with a way to add preservatives to your lotion recipe!! So, if you are interested in giving as gifts that will last for longer…or for yourself, you may want to check out that link!!

Marijuana in California: Regulation and thriving black market burning up profits of California's legal weed business – 60 Minutes
Last updated October 23, 2019 by C.E. News on October 23, 2019
https://cannabisexaminers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/plant.jpg
Legal marijuana in California as a business was supposed to be a no-brainer. How could it not be profitable in a liberal state pushing 40 million residents where some of the best weed in the world has been grown for decades? But nearly three years after Proposition 64, the law legalizing the adult use of the drug, was passed, California cannabis producers are not seeing the windfalls predicted. They tell Sharyn Alfonsi that regulations and a robust black market are cutting into legal pot profits. Alfonsi reports from Northern California's "Emerald Triangle" on the next edition of 60 Minutes, Sunday, October 27, at 7:30 p.m. ET and 7 p.m. PT on CBS.
"The regulated market has been a fraction of what everybody expected it to be," says Mikey Steinmetz. So far, he hasn't seen the profits promised to investors who put up $175 million to seed his pot processing center, a sprawling warehouse where he shows Alfonsi tens of thousands of pounds of cannabis being processed for sale to retailers. And those retailers are a big part of the problem – there aren't enough of them. "There's less retailers in California than there are in the State of Oregon," he tells Alfonsi. California has nearly 10 times the population of Oregon.
The California law gives local governments the right to regulate the pot shops so towns can prohibit them. A whopping 80% of the state's towns and cities have turned legal pot shops down.
The law also calls for strict regulation and fees that can hamper licensed growers like Casey O'Neill, who served time for cultivating pot when it was illegal. Turns out O'Neill's vision of earning a lucrative living doing the thing he loves was just a pipe dream. After jumping through all the regulatory hoops with costs of $50,000 over a few years, he says there was no profit in growing his 45 plants. "Permits, for consulting, $2,500 a year for the water board discharge permit. It's $750 a year for the pond permit. It's $1,350 application fee to the county, plus another $675 when they actually give you the permit annually," O'Neill says.
The black market growers are the ones making the money says Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman. "The black market has greatly increased," he says. That product takes customers away from California's legal growers. Black market growers also sell their illegal weed out of state, a market closed to California growers who may only sell in-state. So the black market growers have a huge market. Allman says, "Once a week we get a call, it's usually some trooper back east, you know, at 3:00 in the morning, who stopped a car for not having a taillight. Says, 'You won't believe it. You know, we got 35, 40 pounds.'" 60 Minutes was told by highway patrols in six states east of California that they have seized up to three times more pot on their roads since Proposition 64 was implemented.
In a state, much of the illegal weed isn't just being sold by shadowy dealers, but in illegal storefronts in strip malls, where buyers aren't being taxed at 45% and the dealers don't buy expensive permits from the state. Legalization has actually made illegal weed cheaper and easier to buy. It's frustrating for entrepreneurs like Steinmetz. "Unlike other industries, we have this kind of in-the-shadows, unspoken-about competitor, right? So it's not like California is fully raging, fully legal."

Plateau of the Past is a graphical adventure game. It has you "roll up" a character (similiar to D&D style games), and then lets you equip the character from the store as well. After this, you start your adventure... but this game was a bit different than most graphical adventure games. You did not have to type in any commands. If you got to a situation where you have to choose a direction to go in, or do something, it presents a menu of what options you can do at that particular time. This was one of the main selling points of the game: "Are you frustrated at discovering the right logic only to be stumped by the game's vocabulary?" was part of the advertising. A rather unique way to do a graphical adventure game. It was fairly lengthy too, requiring a disk drive (it filled a disk).
Requires: Color Computer 1/2/3, 32K RAM, disk required.

Georgia Tech University
Lisha Li
The Georgia Tech Library joined the PTRC (then Patent Depository Library) Program in 1946. Over seven decades, as the only PTRC in Georgia, we have assisted thousands of inventors and entrepreneurs, on campus and from the public, in pursuing their intellectual property protection that led to startups, products launch and business development, making economic impact in the state and beyond. Seven librarians have served as the PTRC Representative, including Safford Harris, Barbara Walker, Jean Kirkland, Mary-Frances Panettiere, Joanne Tobin and Bruce Henson. Lisha Li is the current PTRC Representative, Patents Coordinator and patent librarian, and she has been serving in this capacity since 2010.
At the beginning of Spring 2019, Crosland Tower, one of the library buildings, opened its door to campus after two and a half years under renovation. Librarians and staff members moved back to the new building from elsewhere on campus. Students started enjoying the fresh study and collaboration spaces in the building and exploring new services that library offers. The patent consultation area is currently located on the ground floor of Crosland Tower. It will be relocated to the Price Gilbert building in 2020 when the last phase of the LibraryNext project completes.
Collaborating with the USPTO, the PTRC organized the following Intellectual Property (IP) Seminars, open to the campus and the public. In May 2018, we hosted "How to Obtain Free Legal Assistance on Filing Patent Applications" seminar, when John Kirkpatrick, a Patent Pro Bono Administrator and Staff Attorney, and Tara Ho, a Patent Pro Bono Assistant Coordinator at the USPTO, gave informative talks on the patent Pro Bono Program. Meredith Ragins, Executive Director, and Kelly Bray, Director of Legal Services from Georgia Patents, the non-profit firm that runs the Pro Bono Program for the states of Georgia and South Carolina, also joined the discussions. Together, they answered many specific questions from the audience about free legal assistance in patent prosecution; In July 2018, we hosted the "Trademark Basics: What Every Small Business Should Know Now, Not Later" seminar, when Craig Morris, the Managing Attorney for Trademark Educational Outreach at USPTO's Office of the Commissioner for Trademarks, addressed issues regarding trademarks, answering questions from entrepreneurs, such as: Why should any new business select a trademark? What are the critical factors when choosing a mark? Sixty-seven people attended these highly interactive sessions and the feedback was very positive.
The PTRC Representative continued to offer the monthly Tuesday Patent Class. To meet the needs of online and distance learning students, as well as inventors and entrepreneurs in remote areas, she initiated a virtual patent class on-demand program using Blue Jeans. Over 200 people attended these in person or online classes. The PTRC representative assisted over 300 individuals on patents and trademarks, including undergraduate students in capstone design classes, participants in CREATE-X, and InventurePrize (invention competitions with incentives), faculty and graduate students from VentureLab (a top ranking incubator that helps faculty and students create startups based on their research), patent researchers from business, economics, and public policy, as well as inventors, entrepreneurs and artists from the public.
To engage in IP education on campus, the patent librarian collaborated with teaching faculty in engineering schools, business programs, and invention competition programs on campus. For instance, the patent librarian was invited to give patent lectures to the Technological Innovation: Generating Economic Results (TiGER) Program in the College of Business in Fall 2018; the Inventing the Future education program for undergraduate students in Fall 2018; and a research methods class in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Spring 2019. These lectures were followed by requests from student teams on in-depth consultation related to their specific research projects.
With the administrative support, the Library was able to subscribe to InnovationQ Plus, an innovation discovery and analysis tool in the summer. The patent librarian has offered numerous training sessions on InnovationQ Plus to individual researchers and groups since then. In Oct. 2018, the PTRC also hosted an update session on InnovationQ with experts from IP.com demonstrating multiple features of the database and answering various questions from researchers.
Additionally, the patent librarian worked as a judge at the Georgia Tech Capstone Design Expo in April 2018. She also participated in the CREATE-X Startup Launch events in 2018 to meet enthusiastic student inventors and to hear about their exciting stories.
Looking forward, the Library is exploring new opportunities to provide the next level of IP and entrepreneurship support to programs that help faculty and students create startups based on their research. Collaborating with the business librarians, the patent librarian is to play an important role in this endeavor.

Q: Inner div exceeds outer div boundaries I can't get the inner div (with Hello World) to fit inside the "box" div in this code example (also at http://www.toad-software.com/test.html).
Despite the body being set to 100%, the inner div will not be contained! This is a test case for a larger project in which a variable-width table exceeds the boundaries of its container. The table would be in the inner div and the container would the "box."

Hello World

A: The 100% width on the body element is in relation to the view port, which is why you're background color is cutting when you scroll. Either set a width to your body at 1520px to encompase the contained div or add another div and do the following:
div.box { width: 100px; overflow: auto; }

However, as a word of warning, heading down the path of horizontal scrolling is a bad idea for a first project in css and in user experience.

A: add overflow:hidden; to the container
