Q: Cell decomposition of connected sum of Torus and Klein bottle Let $K$ be the Klein bottle and $T^2$ the Torus
What is the cell composition of $K \# T^2$?

A: There are many cell decompositions for this.
One reasonable way might  be to take the standard square quotients for each. The Klein bottle is given by the word $ab^{-1}ab$, and the torus is given by $cdc^{-1}d^{-1}$. Cut along the corner of each, and glue together the words. This gives the quotient of a polygon whose relation is exactly
$$ab^{-1}abcdc^{-1}d^{-1}.$$
After doing the specified gluings, we can see that this is a CW-complex with $1$ zero cell, $4$ one cells, and a single two cell.

On the other hand, if you have seen that that the klein bottle is the connect sum of two $\mathbb R P^2$'s, then we can rewrite the question in the following way:
$$T^2 \# K=(T^2 \# \mathbb RP^2)  \#\mathbb RP^2=\mathbb RP^2 \#\mathbb RP^2\#\mathbb RP^2\#\mathbb RP^2=K \# K $$
where the second equality comes from associativity and the decomposition o $T^2 \# \mathbb RP^2$ into three projective planes (Theorem 2.1 here) and the final one comes from the associativity of connect sum.

Nevada Senate Continues to Push Marriage Redefinition, Despite Governor's Opposition
From the Las Vegas Sun:
Despite Gov. Brian Sandoval's belief that marriage should be between a man and a woman, the Senate Judiciary Committee is poised Thursday to approve a constitutional amendment on gay marriage.
Committee Chairman Sen. Tick Segerblom, D-Las Vegas, says there are enough votes for Senate Joint Resolution 13 to clear both the committee and the full Senate. Some Republicans are supporting the measure, he said.
Perhaps the most telling fact comes at the very end of the article:
The resolution has the support also of the wedding chapel industry who argued it would draw gay couples to Nevada from other states to get married.

Las Vegas Newspaper: Judge Right to Respect Will of People on Marriage
The editors of the Las Vegas Nevada-Journal take the peoples' side on marriage:
"...Judge Jones has, in fact, just ruled to uphold not merely "the law," but the Nevada Constitution as recently amended by Nevada voters.
The U.S. Constitution - under which the action is brought - instructs that the several states must retain authority to establish different sets of laws best suited to their residents, whereupon Americans may "vote with their feet" by relocating to jurisdictions with legal codes that better suit them. Thomas Jefferson specifically warned that if the states ever became subsidiary jurisdictions of a uniform central authority, like the "Departments" of France, America would degenerate into a Bonapartist tyranny.
If planks of a constitution enacted by voters can be tossed out willy-nilly by a court determined to enforce what it thinks the law ought to be, then the people have a right to ask whether we have passed from a republic with government powers limited by being divided among the three branches and the several levels, into a dictatorship of the unelected bench.
If the state constitution is to be changed - even if we lament the slowness of the process - it should be left to the legislative branch and the wisdom of the people at the polls."

AP: Supreme Court Asked to Rule on Nevada Law Protecting Marriage
December 7, 2012 – 12:00 pm
AP:
A group that opposes gay marriage asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to take up a challenge to Nevada's ban on same sex unions.
The Coalition for the Protection of Marriage said the case crystalizes the fundamental question of whether the legal definition of marriage should be changed from a man and a woman to the union of any two people.
The coalition filed documents seeking what is known as a writ of certiorari that asks the Supreme Court to take the case before it can be considered by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
... "The fundamental marriage issue is whether ... the legal definition of marriage (should) be changed from the union of a man and a woman to the union of any two persons," the coalition filing said.
In its 127-page filing, the coalition called the Nevada case the clearest among several gay marriage cases the high court could consider because it hinges on that "fundamental" question and isn't encumbered by side issues.
"This case has developed most comprehensively and thoroughly the societal interests justifying preservation of marriage's man-woman meaning," the document said.

Nevada Pro-Marriage Lawyers Ask SCOTUS: Must States Redefine Marriage?
From the SCOTUSblog:
Lawyers for a group defending Nevada's ban on same-sex marriage asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday afternoon to decide the most basic constitutional question in that controversy: must a state allow gays and lesbians to get married? That is an issue that no other pending case at the Court has raised. The new case involves a Nevada federal judge's ruling that there is no constitutional right to same-sex marriage, and the new petition seeks to defend that even while asking the Justices to step in.
"After twenty years of intense judicial and extra-judicial engagement with the question of the public meaning of marriage, the Nation is now looking to this Court for the federal constitutional answer to the fundamental marriage issue," the petition said.
The case is Coalition for the Protection of Marriage v. Beverly Sevcik; it is a plea for the Court to hear the case directly from the federal district court in Reno without waiting for a ruling on the case by the Ninth Circuit Court. The petition and appendix with the district judge's ruling can be found here.
... Judge Jones's decision has now been appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court by the same-sex couples involved in the case (pending in that court on docket 12-17668). But the defenders of the state ban asked the Supreme Court to grant review of the case now, before it moves forward in the Circuit Court. The Supreme Court has the authority to lift up a case like that from a federal district court, if the case already has been appealed to a Circuit Court. In fact, the Court is also being asked to do that in some of the other pending same-sex marriage cases.
... In asking the Supreme Court to add to the current consideration of the controversy, the defenders of Nevada's traditional marriage amendment said that if the Court confined its review to any of the other pending cases, it would make a decision "without resolution of the fundamental marriage issue." This is the way the petition framed that issue: "Whether the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause requires Nevada to change its definition of marriage from the union of a man and a woman to the union of two persons."
Pressing that question, the petition said it "may be the most nationally important and consequential issue to come before this Court in many years. Of the 'marriage' cases now before this Court, this case is optimal for resolving the fundamental issue for several reasons. The case is the only one that cannot be resolved without answering the fundamental issue."

Federal Court in Nevada Upholds State's Definition of Marriage as One Man and One Woman
December 4, 2012 – 11:45 am

National Organization for Marriage calls on U.S. Supreme Court to Review California Case Declaring that Proposition 8 is Unconstitutional
Washington, D.C.—The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) ) today praised a federal judge's finding upholding Nevada's definition of marriage as being only one man and one woman, and called on the United States Supreme Court to grant certiorari in the California case that invalidated Proposition 8. Last week in the case of Sevcik v. Sandoval, a federal district judge upheld true marriage and rejected claims that limiting marriage to heterosexual couples violates the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, instead finding, "the protection of the traditional institution of marriage…is a legitimate state interest."
"In stark contrast to the findings of a rogue judge in California who himself was engaged in a long-term homosexual relationship, the federal court in Nevada has quite properly found that true marriage serves an important public purpose and is entitled to protection," said John Eastman, Chairman of NOM. "This important ruling shows how far out of the mainstream the decision in the Proposition 8 case was, and totally undercuts the legal conclusions that the San Francisco court used to invalidate Proposition 8. We hope that the decision will help the U.S. Supreme Court to see the importance of granting certiorari in the case so that the good of marriage will be maintained across the country, just as it was in Nevada."
The federal court in Nevada specifically rejected legal conclusions in the challenge to Nevada's constitutional amendment preserving true marriage that were accepted by the federal Court in the Proposition 8 case. These include:
That a review of constitutional amendments or statues regarding the definition of marriage is entitled to heightened legal scrutiny—a higher standard of review than is required of other cases asserting constitutional claims.
That homosexuals are politically powerless, a finding that supported the California court's ruling that sexual orientation should be considered a suspect class entitled to enhanced legal protection.
That there is no rational basis for a state to preserve marriage as one man and one woman.
"The federal court in Nevada properly found that the decision of the policy to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman is up to the Legislature or the People," said Eastman. "Unfortunately, a judge in San Francisco who is engaged in a long-term same-sex relationship—a relationship that warranted his recusal because it appears to make him a beneficiary of his own ruling-- decided to substitute his values for those of the people of California who twice voted in favor of true marriage. This is the height of judicial activism and we urge the U.S. Supreme Court to grant review of the Proposition 8 case so that the policy judgment of the more than 7 million Californians who voted to preserve marriage is given effect, just as the judgment of Nevada voters was upheld last week by the federal court there."
The Proposition 8 case is Hollingsworth v. Perry (formerly known as Perry v. Schwarzenegger).

William Duncan's Take on the Importance of the Nevada Decision on Marriage for SCOTUS
The media is attempting to bury this news but it has significant import for the effort to legally settle the marriage question.
William Duncan, writing in NRO, explains what happened:
In the wake of the Ninth Circuit's decision striking down Proposition 8, Lambda Legal sued the State of Nevada alleging the state's marriage amendment was a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Yesterday, the trial court issued a decision rejecting the claim and upholding Nevada's law.
The court said "the maintenance of the traditional institution of civil marriage as between one man and one woman is a legitimate state interest." The opinion further held: "Because the family is the basic societal unit, the State could have validly reasoned that the consequences of altering the traditional definition of civil marriage could be severe."
The court's holding on the question of whether same-sex marriage advocates are politically powerless is particularly interesting:
Today, unlike in 1990, the public media are flooded with editorial, commercial, and artistic messages urging the acceptance of homosexuals. Anti-homosexual messages are rare in the national informational and entertainment media, except that antihomosexual characters are occasionally used as foils for pro-homosexual viewpoints in entertainment media. Homosexuals serve openly in federal and state political offices. The President of the United States has announced his personal acceptance of the concept of same-sex marriage, and the announcement was widely applauded in the national media. Not only has the President expressed his moral support, he has directed the Attorney General not to defend against legal challenges to the Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA"), a federal law denying recognition to same-sex marriages at the federal level. It is exceedingly rare that a president refuses in his official capacity to defend a democratically enacted federal law in court based upon his personal political disagreements. That the homosexual-rights lobby has achieved this indicates that the group has great political power. . . . In 2012 America, anti-homosexual viewpoints are widely regarded as uncouth. . . . Plaintiffs' democratic loss on a particular issue does not prove that they lack political power.
With this decision, there are now six federal courts that have rejected equal-protection arguments for redefining marriage: the District of Nevada, District of Hawaii, Middle District of Florida, Western District of Washington (Bankruptcy), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court in a summary decision issued in 1972.

Breaking News: Nevada Federal Judge Rejects Same-Sex Marriage
The Associated Press:
"... U.S. District Chief Judge Robert Jones ruled that Nevada has what he calls "a legitimate state interest" in maintaining the traditional institution of marriage between one man and one woman.
He says the state has the right to prohibit recognition of marriages from other states."
Maggie Gallagher comments at NRO's The Corner:
The District court in Nevada just upheld that state's marriage amendment, using the wins for gay marriage this November at the ballot box as evidence that gay people are not a protected class (because they are not politically powerless), and upholding Baker v. Nelson as controlling on the equal-protection claim.
The case now goes to the Ninth Circuit.

Same-Sex Marriage Separates Candidates in Nevada
The Las Vegas Review-Journal Capital Bureau:
President Barack Obama's support for gay marriage was bound to become a campaign issue for Nevada legislative races in November's general election.
That's where Republicans, who generally don't like the idea, and Democrats, who mostly back it, will duke it out.
But just two weeks after the presidential announcement, the idea already is stirring up a Democratic primary race for state Senate.
The race for Senate District 1 in North Las Vegas between incumbent John Lee and newcomer Patricia Spearman provides the first test of the election season to determine whether Nevada residents support gay marriage.
In one corner sits Lee: Mormon, white, politically moderate and a legislator who voted against domestic partnerships and who opposes gay marriage.
Lee also has served the past 15 years in the Legislature and holds the Senate Democratic Caucus endorsement.
In the other chair is Spearman: evangelical minister, black, gay and a liberal who favors same-sex marriage. She never has held political office in Nevada.

Lawsuit Filed to Overturn Marriage in Nevada
Via the Metro Weekly (a gay newspaper):
Today, Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund took what one of its lawyers calls "a strategic step" in the national effort to advance marriage equality by filing a federal lawsuit in Nevada seeking equal marriage rights for eight same-sex couples in the state.
The lawsuit, Sevcik v. Sandoval, marks the first time that Lambda Legal has sought equal marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples in federal court, although a staff attorney with the group, Tara Borelli, notes that another case filed by Lambda Legal in state court in New Jersey includes federal claims as well.
... Lambda Legal's federal lawsuit against Gov. Brian Sandoval (R) was filed electronically in Nevada overnight today, and it stands as a sign of the significant ground movement on marriage equality in the country in recent years.
... At the same time, Borelli makes clear that Lambda sees this as another -- and not the final -- step in seeking marriage equality through the courts.
"This lawsuit seeks the freedom to marry for same-sex couples in the state of Nevada and is tailored to be a responsible building block for future marriage equality work," she tells Metro Weekly from Las Vegas on the eve of the filing. "We've always believed that it's important to take strategic steps that build on each other, and that's exactly what this case is designed to do."

Former governor of Massachusetts wins Nevada caucuses; has signed NOM's Marriage Pledge
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Brian Brown, the president of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today congratulated GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney on his victory in the Nevada caucuses, a back-to-back victory following Romney's victory in the Florida primary.
"NOM congratulates Mitt Romney on another impressive victory in the Nevada caucuses, just days after his big win in Florida," said Brown. "Governor Romney, who has signed NOM's Marriage Pledge has now won contests in three different regions of the country and has clearly established himself as the leading candidate."
Three of the four remaining candidates in the race have signed the NOM Marriage Pledge. Only Ron Paul, who has said that civil marriage should be abolished all together, has refused. Paul is the only candidate who has failed to win a single primary or caucus. Rick Santorum won in Iowa while Newt Gingrich won in South Carolina. NOM has actively opposed Paul's candidacy and maintains the website www.wrongonmarriage.com to inform voters about his radical views.
"Preserving marriage as the union of one man and one woman is an important issue in the GOP presidential race, and we will continue to let voters know where the candidates stand on marriage," Brown said.

You may have heard friends or family members talking about macular degeneration or possibly been diagnosed with the eye disease yourself. What is macular degeneration? As the leading cause of vision loss in more than 10 million Americans, you may be wondering what this eye disease is all about. It is a common eye condition that most often targets people over the age of 55. Macular degeneration does not lead to total blindness, but it does interfere with daily tasks such as the ability to see faces, drive a car, read a book, or fix small things around your house.
Macular degeneration is an eye disease that affects your central vision. It is caused by the deterioration of the central part of the retina called the macula. The retina is the lining on the back of the eyeball that is sensitive to light. The lens of the eye focuses light onto the retina. The retina sends the information to the brain through the optic nerve.
In the center of the retina is an area called the macula which is the most sensitive area of the retina. The macula collects detailed images and is solely responsible for your central vision. As the cells start to deteriorate, the macula cannot get good images to send to the brain so seeing objects and images straight ahead becomes difficult.
When you start to explore what is macular degeneration, you realize that there are three distinct stages each with different levels of vision loss. Macular degeneration has very few symptoms in the early and intermediate stages which is why it is very important to have routine eye care exams.
Early: During this stage, vision loss is rarely experienced, but various risk factors can make it progress faster. It is important to get your vision checked with regular eye exams because there may be a presence of medium sized drusen, which are tiny clumps of yellow protein that grow under the macula. A medium sized drusen is only the width of a human hair! In this stage, many people begin to explore what is macular degeneration so that they can take necessary action.
Intermediate: While there are very few noticeable symptoms during this stage, the drusen are large and may cause some vision loss. Only an eye exam can determine the size of the drusen and any pigment changes in the retina at this stage because there are still very few people who show any symptoms.
Late: Vision loss is noticeable due to a damaged macula. Vision loss can come from dry or wet macular degeneration.
Now that you have a better understanding of this eye disease, it is good to know that there are two types of late macular degeneration: dry and wet. The dry form is the most common as over 85% of people will develop this type. Dry macular degeneration happens with age as those tiny clumps of yellow protein called drusen grow under the macula. When this happens, the macula starts to thin and dry out which means that it can't function as well anymore. Wet macular degeneration is less common, but far more serious. Abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina and then begin to leak fluid or blood which causes the macula to scar.
If you are at risk for macular degeneration because of family history, age, or lifestyle factors, do not wait until you experience changes in your vision before getting an eye exam. Many people don't even realize they have macular degeneration until their vision becomes blurry. While there is no cure for macular degeneration, you can slow the progression once you have been diagnosed. Your eye care specialist can detect early signs of macular degeneration before symptoms occur through a retinal exam including scans and photos of the macula.
Since you now know what is macular degeneration, if you have been experiencing any blurriness or distortion in your vision, contact Dr. Barry Leonard right away for an exam. Even if you haven't experienced any blurriness, he can examine your retina for any potential macular problems. Call Dr. Leonard's office now at 818-891-6711 or you can make an appointment online.


In a 1992 referendum, the residents of the District of Columbia rejected capital punishment. The City Council ratified that choice in 1997. Nevertheless, proposals are now surfacing to legalize the death penalty in the District of Columbia. I writ to encourage you to express resolute opposition to those proposals.
Out of regard for the dignity of all human life, and with a clear-headed recognition that the death penalty is disproportionately meted out to minority groups, the Archdiocese of Washington has consistently opposed efforts to re-instate the death penalty. While we deplore violent crime, particularly the murder of police officers, we believe that our city must find other means to redress such violence.
The critical question for the Christian is how we can best foster respect for life, preserve the dignity of the human person and manifest the redemptive message of Christ. We do not believe that more death is the response to the question. We, therefore, have to seek methods of dealing with violent crime which are more consistent with the Gospel's vision of respect for life and Christs's message of God's healing love. In the sight of God, correction of the offender has to take preference over punishment. For the Lord came to save and not condemn.
Thank you for your attention to these important teachings of our Church. I pray that the Lord will bless you and your loved ones.


An example of the first pattern net flying helmet, synonymous with Luftwaffe WWII fighter pilots. This is the early pattern with provision for the two stud attachment 1069 oxygen mask. This helmet appear to have had a hard war with all electrics removed and an RAF oxygen mask clip added. We were told it was recovered from a German crash site and used subsequently by an RAF pilot. It has a manufacturer's label indicating code bxo, so was made by Deutsche Telephonwerke und Kabelindustrie Ag, Berlin. Some wear to netting but an interesting example which no doubt has a story to tell if it could only speak! Small size.


Standard flags and what they mean.
I have found writing and coaching to be very therapeutic in my own learning and thought processes in that every time I try to explain something to someone it forces me to find ways to put my ideas forward in simple and easy to understand terms.
Also known as the 'Table Cloth' flag. The race is over. Come into the pit, eat, drink and party all night.
Works like a traffic light. All racing to stop immediately. All competitors to slow down, proceed to the finish line and stop.
The 'Affirmative Action' flag. You must give up your position. Together with competitor's number in white on black board, informs the driver that he must stop at his pit at the end of the lap. Very controversial flag, this one.
Like amber on a traffic light, it means Caution! Competitors must slow down and maintain their positions. You can't pass under yellow like you'd skip amber at a traffic light, the track nazis will penalize you severely.
The flag that makes you sad. Informs a competitor that he is about to be passed by another competitor, Duh.
Someone shot a hole in the Affirmative Action flag. Together with competitor's number informs driver that he has mechanical problems, and that he must stop at his pit at the end of the lap. More controversy.
This is the easy one, the "All Clear" you've been waiting for after a yellow flag dangerous situation. May also be used to start warm-up or practice sessions. Time to pedal! If you don't know what this flag means you shouldn't be on a race track.
The Bacon flag. Someone's frying pan is leaking and is spilling slippery stuff on the track. Deterioration of track surface due to oil or water.
The racism flag. Play nice or you'll be in trouble. Together with a competitor's number it warns the driver of 'racist' or unsportsmanlike behaviour.

Hedge School Talk:
The Importance of the Irish Diaspora
Ten percent of America's population claims Irish ancestry. Minister Ciaran Cannon has spoken in the past of the continually strong emotional connection to Ireland experienced by those whose families emigrated from the island over the centuries. The distinct Irish identity that is expressed in a festival like Milwaukee Irish Fest is part of that pride in Irish heritage. In this session, he asks how Irish Americans and Ireland can remain connected and formally strengthen the significance of the Irish as "a global people."

These feel like christmas cookies, and although the swallows are gathering to fly south, it's dark when I get up in the morning, and gingerbread season has officially opened in town, it's barely autumn yet.
But last Sunday I made a tarte with a kind of custard filling, which meant that I had egg whites left over. I meant to sneak them into an omelette the whole week, but it did not work out, so macaroons.
Roast, if not already roasted, about 150 grams of chopped or ground nuts and let them cool (I put a cold pack under a large plate for faster cooling). Grate the peel off half a lemon. Measure 135 grams of fine baking sugar in a cup, and get a tablespoon and a jar of starch ready.
Pre-heat the oven to 130 degrees. You will need a convection oven, because you will have to use three baking sheets. Cover the sheets with baking paper.
Take three cold egg whites, a pinch of salt and a cold, fat-free mixing bowl of about 3 litres in size. The egg whites will look very lost in there, for now. Trust them to grow.
With a hand mixer, mix for 2 minutes on low or medium low setting. You want the whites to become, well, white, and then some. Then for 4 minutes on medium or medium high setting. Now the size of the bowl should start to make sense. Then beat for 90 seconds on highest setting, so it becomes silky and you can cut it with a knife.
On medium, beat in half of the sugar in about 30 seconds. Then stir in the rest of the sugar and the starch quickly on low. The mass should be thickening now and size should be reduced to half-the-bowl. Stop stirring.
Put all the rest of the stuff in the bowl and mix quickly with a cooking spoon.
Then use two teaspoons to form small heaps on the baking trays. I created about 70 of them. Put in oven, and bake for 40-45 minutes. Check regularily, using more than one baking sheet at a time can give uneven results.
They are baking right now, so cannot yet tell you if they are any good. But I have high hopes.
I could fill them with coffee butter cream, but I think I won't.
ETA: They turned out very fine. Notes to self, give them two days rest in a cake tin for the tastes to develop, and stir the lemon peel in with the first half of the sugar. Try also adding lemon juice.


Kim is such a beautiful Christian woman, also going through this process that I am... and of course is rocking the weight loss!!
I don't know what I would do without these wonderful women that I've met on the internet that completely understand where I'm coming from on a surgery front, and the struggles that come with that.
I've got so much support in my life, and I love and appreciate all of you for that... but these women pick up with knowledge that others might not have. Kim, Lacy, Meg, Donna, Laurie, and Jil... you are the best virtual support group in the WORLD!!
My family and friends are the honest to goodness best in the world too - so I'm a VERY lucky girl!
Eh, no big deal. That kind of stuff just makes me irate. I had a similar attack a few years ago by those people who left my church after their vote to leave the ELCA didn't pan out. I wrote about my experience with that whole horrible situation and I got flamed on my own blog. Not pretty, but I posted her comment (yeah, I know exactly who it was) to my blog and then told her off. I just hate that. This space is ours and no, you don't have to agree with us, but if you feel the need to verbally disagree at least be polite.

Mexico City, October 19th
After a somewhat lean year of Formula One, Denis Hulme came to the fore in the final round of the 1969 World Championship series at Mexico City on October 19th. Driving a two-year-old works McLaren he beat Ickx's Brabham to the line after 65 laps of hard racing. Again the interesting and well appointed Magdalena Mixhuca circuit was in use and an enormous crowd was attracted despite the fact that this year the World Championship had been settled much earlier in the favour of Stewart.
The field of 17 cars was almost identical to that at the United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen two weeks earlier. Only two cars were missing from the 19 seen there, Hill's Lotus obviously out of commission, while BRM had sent their reserve car to an exhibition. Nevertheless they were still three strong, with the Canadian Eaton again joining regulars Surtees and Oliver. The only other change from America was that Miles was back in the Lotus 63 4-w-d car replacing Andretti.
One of the main problems with racing at Mexico City is the effect of the high altitude of over 7,000 ft. But Cosworth had this completely solved, with a different cam for the metering units on the V8 engines.
Practice was held on the afternoons of Friday and Saturday over a period of four hours each. Many of the fast times were set on Friday for it tended to be cooler than the following day. It was right at the end of Friday practice when Brabham astounded everyone by recording 1 min. 42.9 sec., well ahead of Siffert's lap record of 1 min. 44.23 sec. set in last year's race. This was hardly expected, as the course was reckoned to be slower than last year, as high kerbstones and concrete ribs had replaced the low kerbstones which contributed to the prevalent corner cutting of last year. Behind Brabham in practice came Ickx, Stewart, Hulme and Siffert.
None of these drivers improved on Saturday, although this time lckx headed the list while Rindt made a vast improvement over the previous day, when he was very tired, to finish second fastest of the session. But this time was still only good enough for sixth fastest overall.
The start saw Stewart coming through to lead by the first corner but he had the rest of the pack close behind. lckx was giving Stewart the hardest time, and when the Scotsman slowed in accordance with a yellow flag, Ickx snatched the advantage. The flag was shown because on the previous lap Courage and Siffert had collided whilst contesting seventh place. Siffert retired with damaged suspension, while Courage continued at the back of the field. Other early retirements were the 4-w-d of Miles with engine trouble and the BRM of Eaton with a broken gearbox. While Stewart started to slip further down the field both Hulme and Brabham took up the chase of Ickx. Hulme was on top form and on lap 10 he passed Ickx to take a lead which was never seriously threatened. Ickx did make a tremendous effort just after half-distance but later faded. In the closing stages he again pulled up on Hulme but the New Zealander wilt well in command of the situation. Brabham's engine was definitely off-song but he nevertheless drove to an excellent third.
Into fourth and fifth places came the Matra-Cosworths of Stewart and Beltoise. After slipping back behind the three Goodyear-shod cars of Hulme, Brabham and Ickx. Stewart fought off a challenge from Rindt which ended as early as lap 21 when the Lotus' left-hand front suspension started to collapse.
Although team-mate Surtees dropped by the wayside with gearbox trouble in the closing stages, Oliver battled on with his BRM to record sixth position and take his only Championship point of the year. At one stage he had been headed by the private Brabham of the Swiss driver Moser, but he dropped back and stopped at the pits in the closing stages with a fractured fuel tank. So the order of the non-Championship point-scoring finishers was Rodriguez, Servoz-Gavin, Lovely, Courage and Moser. Astonishingly McLaren's car stopped on the warming-up lap for the second F1 race running and he was relegated to the role of spectator again.
It was a popular victory for Hulme but a race also notable for several other reasons. It was Stewart's last race in a Matra-Cosworth and several of the other cars were appearing for the last time. But by all accounts next season could be very interesting with a wider selection of both chassis and engines.—A. R. M.

We Are X Review
Posted by RCNTV on Friday, March 3, 2017 · Leave a Comment
We Ae X is a documentary film exploring the unique musical career and impact of legendary Japanese rock band X Japan. Lead by enigmatic musical icon Yoshiki the band transformed Japanese music forever and continue to reach an ever growing army of devoted fans around the world.
Director Steven Kijak and the production team behind award winning Searching For Sugar Man and The Imposter have delivered yet another outstanding piece of well-crafted documentary cinema with We Are X. The film subtly captures both the emotional core of an iconic rock band and also incorporates much of their unique visual flare and musical magic.
Whether or not audiences find X Japan's truly original blend of classical, metal and rock music matches their own usual musical appetites, nonetheless the band's story is packed with a mix of tragedy and triumph that is compelling and translates far beyond barriers of language, pop culture and musical taste.
Combining extensive interview access with band members, archival footage, fan contributions and live performances the film presents a truly immersive experience. In particular the extent to which the film documents and explores the personal tragedies that have fuelled the creative process of band leader Yoshiki may surprise those expecting merely a polished PR friendly celebration of a popular artist.
The film's candid documentation of how the death of his father, former band members and personal demons continues to haunt and motivate the soft spoken rock and classical music superstar is truly compelling and emotionally impactful. The film serves not just as a superficial homage to a popular band but as a true exploration of the deep routed connection between great art and personal turmoil.
That being said, amongst the personal reflection and philosophising the film also offers fans an enjoyable sample of the varied musical offerings that have made X Japan and enduring and beloved household name in their native Japan. The film definitely challenges and greatly dispels any lingering misconceptions about the limitation of Japanese music. It showcases one of the country's most complex and versatile rock creations as opposed to the perhaps more familiar cheesy pop idol clichés.
As with all musically themed documentaries it's difficult for a film to ever truly capture the thrill of a live performance and the atmosphere of screaming fans. Luckily We Are X never falls into the trap of merely being a concert film or feeling like an extended music video.
Of course the personal journey of the band and their impact on Japanese culture may innately hold less exciting interest for an international audience still largely unfamiliar with their work. However the film does well to serve both as a loving celebration for existing fans and a convenient introduction for the uninitiated.
We Are X is a well-crafted and fascinating insight into the pain, sacrifice and success of one of the world's biggest rock bands. Whether audiences are already familiar with their unique work or merely discovering the band for the first time, in either case this film is of equally compelling interest.

Dream studies are in a difficult situation for a host of reasons. As a phenomena, dreams are simply troubling. They"re downright inhospitable from about every possible angle for researchers, scientists, and regular folks who just want to understand what happens to them when they go to sleep every night. On top of that, our culture ignores dreams, or otherwise demonizes them, so finding answers is not easy.
Dreams are slippery. We hardly remember them. When we do, it seems like someone else's memory, or like looking down the bottom of a well into a murky reflection. Not only that, but dreams are tricky. They poke at our soft spots, precisely when we let our guard down to go to sleep. Old memories, ex-lovers, dead people and weird creatures populate our night. Unfamiliar people and empty hallways are the norm, along with occasional bursts of joy and visits to our childhood homes. Dreams are absurb jokes, but nobody lets us in on the punch-line.
But in the dream, we go along for the ride. We are the punch line. It's completely natural that we"re talking to a bird-headed centurion. We"re slightly bored to be back in elementary school, eating in the cafeteria. Even if we"re in a heated argument with our dead grandfather, or being pelted with fruitdrops by howler monkeys (true story), we accept it.
This is the first mystery of dreaming: that as strange as they may seem to us when we wake up, we are perfectly content with the experience as it happens.
Scientists link this trait of dreaming to the dampening of brain activity associated with critical thinking, self-awareness, and volition. Another, complimentary, way to see the "anything goes" quality of dreaming is that we"re more open to the imaginal realm, which we keep in check during our waking lives. Past, future and present mingle in unlikely combination. We remember things that never happened. Even the boundaries between our selves and the world around us are in flux.
Joseph Campbell wrote that dreams are private myths, and myths are public dreams. I believe there's a part of ourselves that always has belonged in the dreamworld. That's why we accept the bizarreness of it all; after all, we"ve been coming here every night for our entire life. A part of us knows that the world works differently in this place.
And we are not who we think we are.
The next installment digs deeper into how we define dreaming.

Tech Explorist: A material is said to show superconductivity when it can convey electric current with essentially zero obstruction.
So not at all like the ordinarily utilized materials, for example, copper and steel, a superconductor can convey a current inconclusively without losing any energy.
Superconductors are as of now utilized for some applications such hardware, levitation of trains, particle accelerators, and superconducting coils.
In any case, they should be cooled to low temperatures, which limit their utilization in our regular day to day existence.
been able to achieve superconductivity at ambient temperature and pressure.
A large number of materials have been found to undergo normal to superconducting transitions.
But such transitions require extremely low temperature and/or extremely high pressure.
pressure, therefore, gains great significance.
Scientists observed superconductivity in nano-sized films and pellets made of silver nanoparticles installed in a gold grid. Superconductivity was seen at minus 37 degree Celsius.
The resistance observed is low — 10-4 ohms — yet not zero.
The limitation to measuring even lower resistance arises from instrument sensitivity, the authors claim.


Since joining the CT back in 2011, Julian Wilson has made a habit of doing well at J-Bay. His clean lines and smart tactics are perfectly suited to a place that requires patience and tempo to go with technique and power. Coming into the Corona Open J-Bay, he was sitting at World No. 8. But his third-place finish here will move him up the Jeep Leaderboard and back into the World Title race at the midway point of the season. With Teahupo'o up next, another wave at which he's performed well in the recent past, he'll be breathing down the necks of the rest of a crowded pack of Title chasers.

A call for beloved communities from Grace Lee Boggs: "We are living in a time of great peril and possibility."
By Grace Lee Boggs
We are living in a time of great peril and possibility. In 1957, with the Montgomery bus boycott, we embarked on a journey that enlarged the soul of America. We found the courage to question what kind of people we were and the wisdom to change ourselves into a people offering new hope in the world. The struggles of African Americans for full citizenship and dignity inspired more than a half century of progressive movements in the United States and around the world.
None of us can step back from the responsibility of becoming part of the solution.
Today we no longer inspire hope in those who have been despised, displaced, and devalued. Instead, we inspire fear, terror, and division. More than 40 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. warned that unless we engaged in a great revolution of values and overcame racism, materialism and militarism, we would be "dragged down the long, dark, and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight."
Now, we face a constitutional crisis brought on by the acts of a president who has placed himself above the law, is conducting an illegal war, subverting the Constitution, and willfully ignoring a planetary crisis that threatens the future of life on earth. We are losing faith in our capacity to create the world anew.
Few of our ancestors were among those who founded this nation more than 200 years ago and who established the political, economic and social patterns that have brought us to this present crisis. But none of us can step back from the responsibility of becoming part of the solution. Because of the struggles of working people in factories and on farms, African Americans, women, Chicanos, Native Americans and immigrants, gay people, youth, and the disabled, all of us have a new "burden and responsibility." All of us have the opportunity to engage in the process of creating a new, more human, more socially conscious, and ecologically responsible nation.
This year, as we celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and commemorate the last year of his life, we encourage you to consider his deepest call to the generations to come:
"Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter, but beautiful, struggle for a new world. This is the calling of the sons of God, and our brothers wait eagerly for our response. Shall we say the odds are too great? Shall we tell them the struggle is too hard? Will our message be that the forces of American life militate against their arrival as full men, and we send our deepest regrets? Or will there be another message—of longing, of hope, of solidarity with their yearnings, of commitment to their cause, whatever the cost? The choice is ours."
As we celebrate his life, let us find the courage to confront the questions:
On peace and war:
How do we restore relationships of respect and integrity within the community of nations?
On sustainable living:
How do we live more simply so that others may simply live?
On immigration:
How can we protect our brothers and sisters from other lands?
On healthy communities:
How do we create and restore ways of living that encourage the imagination and productive capacities of our young people?
On justice:
How do we guarantee that all have the basic human right to education, sustenance, and respect?
Dr. King had faith that if we confronted the questions of our time, honestly, together we would create an America we could all be proud to call our own:
"If we will but make the right choice, we will be able to speed up the day, all over America and all over the world, when justice will roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."

Nelson Johnson, Beloved Community Center of Greensboro, N. C.; John Maguire, Institute for Democratic Renewal/Project Change; Kathy Wan Povi Sanchez, Tewa Women United; Shirley Strong, Institute for Democratic Renewal/Project Change.

The closure of a gym in Orpington has sparked outrage among its members.
The popular LA Fitness gym on Sandy Lane is closing on November 28 until February as a £1million refurbishment process takes place following a takeover by Pure Gym, which is costing staff at the current gym their jobs.
The fitness firm is planning on making wholesale changes to the site, including filling the swimming pool and removing the squash courts and bar area, which has been met with anger from some of the gym's members.
Chris Middleton, 68, of Maidstone Road, Sidcup, said: "It winds me up. I've been using the gym for over 15 years and it's become like a social club.
"There's a bar there where you can sit and chat for as long as you like and I've made so many friends there over the years, it's fantastic.
Pure Gym completed the acquisition of LA Fitness and its 43 fitness clubs across Britain last May.
A spokesperson for Pure Gym said: "Pure Gym has begun the process of converting LA Fitness sites into Pure Gym gyms and in doing so will invest over £20m across the LA Fitness sites.
"We do not find that it is economical to maintain wet facilities like swimming pools and saunas and cafes in our gyms.
"We understand that this will be disappointing to some members but we believe that the greater good is served by offering facilities at lower cost, higher quality and with greater flexibility than before.

Vaya has added a whole lot of value into their plans, substantially increasing data allowances across all SIM-only options while also introducing their newest, largest $56 plan packing 50GB data. With data consumption on the rise, this is definitely a change for the better.
The exclusively online telco has established itself as a provider that's both simple and affordable. Previously offering four BYO plans, Vaya has decided to step things up value-wise. Now, the Optus-backed telco delivers five amazingly cheap mobile plans with higher data inclusions.
Eventually, everyone needs to grow up. While Vaya has been recognised for their low-cost, simplified plans that offer generous data inclusions, they intend to improve customer satisfaction even further before the year ends. How better to achieve that than to provide a top-of-the-line mobile experience that doesn't break the bank? Unlimited calls and texts are a given, with unlimited voicemail as well, but it's the data allowance that makes the difference.
To start, the lowest 1.5GB plan at $16/month now has 2GB. The $24/month plan with 3GB now has double the data at 6GB. The $36/month plan gets an extra 5GB for a total of 15GB, and the previously 13GB plan at $44/month gets the biggest data increase, now boasting 30GB — that's a 17GB increase for the same price. And because Vaya is all about freedom and flexibility, these plans remain commitment-free with no lock-in contracts. With hotspot and tethering also included in the mix, there's really nothing to lose and everything to gain here.
The sight of a new plan is always refreshing – Vaya's fresh addition to their lineup is proof of that. For $56/month, you get unlimited calls and text to standard numbers in Australia, and even more importantly, a whopping 50GB data allowance. Customers now have the option to stretch their data requirements even further – with 50GB, you can surf, play, and stream while being confident that you have more than enough data to fuel your everyday needs.
Vaya also has a 6-month plan options for those who don't mind committing for half a year. After all, that's still far shorter than the 12-month plans typically offered by other telcos. Of course, getting a lengthier plan always has nice perks and in Vaya's case, it's extra data. With the exception of the $16 plan, the telco's 6-month selections offer extra data of up to 10GB. $24 gets you 8GB, $36 delivers 20GB, $44 has 40GB, and $56 increases up to 60GB. That's precious extra data, and all you need to do is commit for 6 months.
International calls are not included in any of Vaya's mobile plans. Instead, you can enjoy extremely low international rates on frequently called countries – like 2c/min when you make calls to Singapore. If you have loved ones in the US, China, and India, the international rate is 10c/min, while the rate in New Zealand and United Kingdom is 20c/min.

"You can come in and get a free color, cut, shampoo or blow-out; it depends on what our deal that day is," Schleuder said. Customers can register online at saloninclayton.com.
The longtime friends previously worked together at Elizabeth and Co. Hair Studio.
Advertising new products
For mainstay businesses, the expo was a chance to connect with new customers and to advertise new products.
Joyce Blackley of Blackley's Printing said she met a new customer she thinks will become a regular.
Blackley said the printing company just purchased a machine that can make copies of house plans. "People can email the house plans, and it will make copies of them," said Blackley.
At the expo, Blackley told several attendees about the machine, and they said they'd been looking for such a service.
"I definitely made some new customers here," Blackley said, adding that the turnout for this year's expo was greater than last years.
Several organizations had booths at the event to try to attract new members.
Clayton Women in Networking, or WIN for short, had the most eye-catching booth display at the event.
WIN member Juanita Curtis dressed up in a bright-yellow duck costume, complete with long, yellow eyelashes, to accompany the booth's "lucky duck" game.
The game played on the name "WIN" and gave attendees the chance to pick a duck out of a pool of water. If they were lucky, they won a prize.
WIN launched in April of last year to give women chamber members a unique networking outlet and to help women support each other's businesses.
The group is also focused on outreach. The women hold fundraisers to underwrite scholarships for women, and they support Harbor Inc., the Johnston County nonprofit that provides aid to victims of rape and domestic violence.
"I think the people who have come by today have been able to see the relationship we all have with one another and how we support each other and have fun," Curtis aid..
The spring expo is a low-key version of a larger expo that takes place at the Harvest Festival in September. That event routinely draws more than 200 businesses.
Allie Schleuder and Michelle Barbour opened A&M Hair Studio in March and set up a booth at the chamber expo to tell people about their salon. ajames@newsobserver.com

Amon Amarth – Twilight Of The Thunder God
Home / Amon Amarth – Twilight Of The Thunder God
In the spring of 2008, Amon Amarth returned to producer Jens Bogren's studio in Rebro to record the mighty Twilight of the Thunder God. "Jens gave us new ideas and perspectives about song writing and sound," explains vocalist Johan Hegg. Amon Amarth's songs became more varied than ever as a result here, incorporating the roots of death metal as well as showing an openness towards different styles.
Up to that time, the Norse themes had provided the only connection with the traditional scene of their hometown. This time Johan sings a duet with L.G. Petrov, the only true Entombed singer, on the mid-tempo scorcher "Guardians Of Asgaard." The title track and "Where Is Your God?", the former an up-tempo hymn, the latter probably the most brutal Amon Amarth track of all time.

NEW YORK and TORONTO, May 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ – iAnthus Capital Holdings, Inc. (CSE: IAN) (OTCQX: ITHUF), which owns, operates, and partners with best-in-class regulated cannabis operations across the United States, is pleased to report its financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2019. Amounts are in U.S. Dollars, unless stated otherwise.
On February 5, 2019, the Company closed the plan of arrangement with MPX. The landmark transaction was the first public-to-public merger and the largest closed transaction to date for a multi-state operator in the US cannabis sector. The transaction expanded the Company's platform to 11 states.
Hadley Ford, CEO of iAnthus, provided the following statement on the Company's first quarter results and outlook for 2019:
"2019 is off to a great start for team iAnthus, and I want to thank all of our dedicated employees for their hard work as we fully integrate the MPX and iAnthus operations. Revenues in the first quarter are up 22% sequentially on a pro forma basis for the combined company and that pace has accelerated into April and May. We are excited to be moving forward on our branding initiatives and look forward to opening our first flagship Be. store in Brooklyn this fall. Momentum is continuing across all our markets, particularly in our greenfield operations in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Florida. We expect to close the CBD For Life acquisition shortly and can't wait to share some of the exciting plans in store for that business. Managing growth is our number one focus, and we remain committed to investing prudently in our business to take advantage of this once ever opportunity. We will continue to be opportunistic in our approach to M&A and will maintain a strong focus on reducing our overall cost of capital. We are very excited about 2019 and look forward to continuing to deliver for our shareholders."
Total pro forma revenues of $18.5 million1, up 22% from the prior quarter
First quarter reported revenues of $9.6 million, which has increased 384% from $1.9 million in the prior quarter. (MPX results consolidated as of February 5, 2019)

Adjusted gross margin for the quarter was 36%
See Table 3 below for further detail
EBITDA and Net Income
Adjusted EBITDA7 loss of $5.1 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $6.5 million in the prior quarter
As a result of the MPX transaction during the quarter, iAnthus incurred several acquisition-related expenses totaling $5.2 million. These expenses include advisory, professional, legal, consulting, and accounting fees which have been added back to arrive at adjusted EBITDA as these costs are non-recurring and are not part of ongoing operational activities of the Company
iAnthus recorded a first-quarter net loss of $18.3 million, compared to a net loss of $15.9 million in the prior quarter
As at March 31, 2019, total assets were $797.6 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $42.3 million. This represents an increase of $629.2 million (or 374%) from the prior quarter

The Company closed $35.0 million and $25.0 million of financing through the issuance of convertible debentures on March 18, 2019 and May 1, 2019, respectively. The debentures are convertible at a price of $5.92 and bear 40% warrant coverage, which resulted in the issuance of 3,732,498 warrants with an exercise price of $6.43
On April 24, 2019, iAnthus issued 8,891,016 shares and 4,445,504 warrants to satisfy all remaining OID Loan holders that were eligible for conversion
Current fully dilutive share count of 245.5 million shares which includes 154.5 million common shares, 15.5 million class A shares and 76.4 million dilutive securities
Operational and Branding Updates
Be. The Cannabis Store
On May 14, 2019, the Company announced its new retail brand "Be." The first flagship Be. store is under construction in Brooklyn, and the Company anticipates a grand opening in the fall of this year. New flagship stores in Miami, Las Vegasand Atlantic City will follow. iAnthus' existing stores will be prioritized and gradually retrofit to Be. stores. Please see the Be. press release and announcement video.
MPX's award winning products are distributed in over 110 stores across the US. Our MPX concentrate and resin product lines continue to attract acclaim from both wholesale and retail customers. In addition to the Company's core MPX product lines, the Company is preparing to launch several complementary product lines. The Company is in the final stages of developing a "fighter brand" concentrate product line that will be marketed to both retail patients and wholesale clients. Within Arizona, the Company is also about to launch a live resin collaboration with one of the most renowned cultivators within the state and will continue to keep the market informed as to new product developments. The Company anticipates opening a second cultivation and processing facility in Massachusetts in late 2019 that will include hydrocarbon extraction equipment and enable the production of MPX products in the state.
CBD For Life
iAnthus expects to close the acquisition of CBD For Life, a top-ranked, national CBD brand in the U.S in early June. CBD For Life is now available in over 1,000 doors nationwide including new distribution relationships with national and specialty retailers such as Urban Outfitters (online and 6 flagship stores), Of a Kind, and Exhale Spa. In addition, CBD For Life will be rolling out a premium product line and an adult line during this summer.
The Company's Holliston cultivation facility has continued to see operational efficiencies and recorded current cash cultivation cost of $1.248 per gram during the quarter. The Company recorded over $2.0 million of revenue during the month of April 2019, surpassing the revenue for the first three months combined. Wholesale demand remains strong, with products sold in 15 dispensaries throughout the state. The Company is currently in negotiations with Allston(situated within the City of Boston) over terms of its host agreement for an adult use license at its existing medical-only facility and the Company continues to expect that dispensary will be operating under an adult-use license in 2019. Further, two additional dispensaries, in Worcester and Lowell, are targeted to open under adult-use licenses later this year.
The Company's Lake Wales cultivation facility now has approximately 120,000 square feet in operation, of which 70,000 square feet is in a lower cost cultivation environment. The 33-acre campus has significant room for expansion, in both indoor and outdoor capabilities that will be announced throughout 2019. The Company is operating three dispensaries and is planning to open an additional three dispensaries within the next 45 days. Based on the latest reports of state-wide sales from the Office of Medical Marijuana Use, the Company is ranked third of all Florida operators in terms of THC milligrams sold per dispensary.
Driven by its market-leading processing capabilities and products, the Company continues to show strength in both its retail and wholesale operations. The Company's extraction footprint is being increased to over 3,000 square feet, which will increase its production capabilities over 200% from current levels. In Maryland, MPX products are now available in 51 of 72 retail dispensaries.
Arizona and Nevada
In the Southwest region, the Company's wholesale offerings continued to be strongly received in both markets, selling to approximately 40 dispensaries per month in the first quarter, and 46 in April 2019. Average size of wholesale orders has increased by 100% in Nevada and 25% in Arizona since the first quarter of 2018. On May 29, 2019, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled in favor of the medical marijuana industry and patients who choose to use cannabis extracts such as vape cartridges, edibles, waxes and tinctures. Extracts form a significant portion of the Arizona medical use market and the court's 7-0 ruling reflects the overwhelming support in the market for continued access to these products. The Company's four Arizona dispensaries are also preparing for the launch of several new concentrate product lines.
The Company opened two dispensaries in the first quarter of 2019, and has signed a lease for its third dispensary, located on Staten Island. This will be the only licensed dispensary serving Staten Island's 500,000 residents and is expected to open in the fourth quarter of this year. The Company eagerly awaits further clarity as to the development of both the medical and recreational programs within the state in order to refine its capital expenditure program.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures Footnotes
1 Pro forma revenues: refers to full three months ended March 31, 2019 results, as if the acquisition or management contract commenced as of the beginning of the period regardless of the acquisition or management contract date. This also includes Managed Revenues, which are sales of cannabis products from entities for which management arrangements are in place but iAnthus cannot consolidate due to regulatory restrictions, or from equity investments in which results cannot be consolidated. Managed entities include iAnthus' involvement in certain Arizona operations, Colorado, and New Mexico.
2 Includes the January 1 – February 4, 2019 unaudited revenue of MPX, as iAnthus consolidated performance when the MPX Acquisition closed on February 5, 2019.
3 Adjustment related to the fair value adjustment on inventory acquired as part of the MPX transaction that is being released into COGS for sales recognized during the period.
4Adjustment to add back the realized fair value adjustments from biological assets to represent cost of sales recognized in the period.
5Adjustment for one-time acquisition costs include all advisory, professional, legal, consulting, and accounting fees incurred as part of the MPX acquisition during the quarter. These costs are added back to the total adjusted EBITDA as these expenses are non-recurring and are not part of ongoing operational activities of the Company.
6Adjustments related to inventory write-downs recognized during the period caused from abnormal one-time events during the quarter. The Company does not expect recurring adjustments as this was an abnormal event during the period.
7Adjusted EBITDA: The Company adds back the following non-cash items to provide a more accurate indication of performance for the period. This is a Non-IFRS metric:
Change in fair value on instruments
Foreign exchange gains/losses
8Cost per gram is calculated as the total weight of dried and cured cannabis divided by the total cash costs of cultivation during the quarter, including labor, materials (nutrients and other cultivation supplies) and overhead (rent and utilities).
The Company believes the pro forma results presented provide relevant and useful information for investors because they clarify the Company's actual operating performance, make it easier to compare the Company's results with those of other companies and allow investors to review performance in the same way as the Company's management. Since these measures are not calculated in accordance with IFRS, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, our reported results as indicators of the Company's performance, and they may not be comparable to similarly named measures from other companies.

Government Alberta introduces incentive for local investing
When he was in his 20s, Minister of Economic Development and Trade, Deron Bilous recalls sitting down with a financial advisor and struggling to find worthy investments that aligned with his values.
Now, with the introduction of the Community Economic Development Tax Credit (CEDC) by the Government of Alberta on October 18, 2018, Bilous is looking forward to seeing others invest in businesses they believe in.
The CEDC Tax Credit is unique to the Government of Alberta's preceding tax credits in that it "targets for-profit businesses operating in the community economic development sphere," says Bilous' Press Secretary Jean-Marc Prevost.
"These businesses usually find it hard to access affordable capital that is required to help them expand and innovate." The Government of Alberta has allocated an annual budget of $3 million for CEDCs over three years, with a 30% tax credit available to investors.
"The CEDC tax credit program enables investors to move money from Wall Street and Bay Street onto main streets and local businesses across Alberta," said Barb Davies, co-founder of Local Investing YYC, at a press conference held at Momentum on October 18.
Local Investing YYC is an investment cooperative providing capital to local businesses generating social, environmental and financial returns. It is in the process of registering as a CEDC. Investment shares in the cooperative are RRSP and TFSA eligible.
CEDCs will create a symbiotic relationship for Alberta's socially-minded entrepreneurs, communities, and investors. "Investors interested in both financial and social returns now have the opportunity to do so locally. Small locally-owned businesses that generate community economic development and social impact can get access to affordable capital to expand their business or start new ones," says Prevost. Local communities will also be able to improve their business environment as local businesses launch and grow to meet the needs of the community.
To be eligible for investments through a CEDC, a for-profit business must have fewer than 100 employees, be permanently established in Alberta, and be actively engaged in "eligible community business activities." This includes increasing access to consumer goods and services that improve the community on an economic or social level, or by employing and training citizens that are facing social challenges such as poverty.
"We want to show Albertans that you can have a financial return while investing in a business that has a social benefit," Bilous says. "It's very exciting, and I'm proud of the work that my department has done to deliver this to the community."

A few weeks back Gabe and I had the opportunity to check out Ruth's Chris Dauo Vineyards Tastemaker Dinner. Ruth's Chris holds a special place in our heart as it was one of the first places we dined at when we moved to Tampa 6 years ago. There's something about the steak and melted butter that gets me every time.
We had a fantastic time at the Tastemaker dinner and I hope to attend more in the future. The April Ruth's Chris Tastemaker Dinner will be a 5 course pairing with Jonnie Walker. Click here to find a location and date near you. Along with Johnnie Walker, there is a fantastic lineup for the rest of the year including: Chateau Montelena Winery, Moet Hennessy (which I must go to) and Marchesi Antinori. You can check up the lineup and get the dates for your Ruth's Chris by clicking here.
So back to the Dauo Tastemaker Dinner, we had 5 courses perfectly paired with Dauo wines. Each plate was excellent as was the wine. Overall, I was very impressed with the Tastemaker dinner and Ruth's Chris did an excellent job with it.
This pork was cooked to perfection and had a great spice to it. The Chemin De Fleurs was a perfect pairing to this slightly spicy dish. I have never had this varietal of wine before, which is very rare. I am pretty picky with white wines and this was one anyone could drink.
Anytime I am presented with pappardelle, my life becomes 10x happier. Mix that pappardelle with chocolate and coffee braised short rib...well be still my heart. Seriously one of the best, if not the best, pastas I have had in the US. Dear Ruth's Chris, I need this recipe. The Daou Cabernet was an excellent companion to this dish.
The star of the show at Ruth's Chris is always the filet mignon and this one did not disappoint. Not seen in the photo of meat and butter was our sides, consisting of zucchini fritters and potatoes au gratin. All was delicious. Then to pair it with a reserve Daou Cab was an extra treat. This wine drank beautiful with the steak.
Apparently after 4 courses and glasses of wine, I tried to get artistic with my dessert photo. Excuse the super sideways pic! The chambord cream was insane and I could have happily ate an entire dish of it. We truly enjoyed the Pessimist red blend with the dessert.
Awesome job to the Tampa Ruth's Chris team. You left us impressed!
